"The enemy has been wiped out, Your Highness."

“…… Where did you send the man? ”

"This ...... Looks like some strange beast or something......"

"Strange beasts?"

In the center of the convoy that had stopped, in the rose-colored carriage that had been guarded by layers, a woman sitting in the interior of the gorgeous carriage was opening the curtain in front of her at this time, quietly listening to the report of a certain imperial royal guard in front of her who knelt on one knee: "What strange beast? ”

"It looks like it's made from the limbs of various other beasts."

Still on one knee, the Imperial Royal Guard said without raising his head, "We wanted to bring those corpses back to investigate them carefully, but they quickly disappeared as if they had never appeared. ”

"Dibba has already magically identified some of those corpses, and several other colleagues have seen them." A royal magician, who was standing next to the doorway of the carriage, then silently bowed his head and reported: "We think...... These enemies may just be a high-level illusion. ”

That is to say...... We've been entangled with a group of illusions for so long, haven't we? Forcefully put down the door screen in front of her, and the woman sitting in the carriage said with a bit of anger: "What about casualties? What about casualties? ”

"Yes, seven soldiers were killed and thirty-two more were wounded......"

"A bunch of rubbish!"

The angry scream then was like lightning piercing the sky, suppressing all the movement around the rose-colored carriage, and the corner of the honorable woman's robe appeared behind the door curtain for a moment by a powerful momentum, followed by her angry reprimand: "The royal guard of the Frey Empire, the strongest combat force in the empire guarding my Rena, was attacked by an unknown enemy before he left the house?" And it was folded in the hands of a group of illusions? ”

"It's just a loss of face for the Frey Empire!"

Her voice returned to its previous lowness, but the solemn meaning in her voice was not slowed down in the slightest: "If you are all a bunch of such waste, then what are we going to the Duchy for?" Go and let them see the jokes? ”

"Your Highness, Your Highness is angry." The imperial royal guard kneeling in front of him lowered his head even deeper: "It's the incompetence of the subordinates, the subordinates will definitely do their best to find the murderer and avenge this arrow!" ”

“…… There's no need for revenge or anything. ”

The doorway gradually subsided, and at the same time calmed down with the majestic voice of the eldest princess Rena in the carriage: "I just want to remind you, don't always take it lightly, although you are only my guards now, you are also the guards of the Imperial Investigation Group, representing the image of the entire Empire." ”

"The tone may have been a little too heavy, but I hope you can understand." Her voice then carried a feeling of tiredness and seriousness: "I also hope that you can really wake up and don't make such mistakes again." ”

"Immediately send out reconnaissance cavalry to search and alert within a radius of twenty miles." Nodding heavily, the captain of the royal guard, whose face became serious, then ordered in a deep voice behind him: "Each team is equipped with a magician, screen and identify all traces of magic around them, and if you find an abnormality, you must be cautious." ”

"Beat your spirits to me! Guaranteed safety near the convoy! He then exclaimed, "Otherwise...... Military disposition! ”

"Yes!"

A loud chorus of cheers then echoed around the rose-colored carriage, accompanied by countless Imperial soldiers running around, and Rena, who was watching these soldiers leave, also felt the solemn aura on their bodies, and then nodded with a little satisfaction: "This is a little bit like this...... Dibba. ”

"Yes."

Another magician, who was standing next to the door of the carriage before, then appeared in front of the door, and the figure in the royal magic robe then bent his waist: "What does Your Highness command?" ”

"Any clues?" There was a slight pause in her voice, and Princess Rena then asked in a low voice, "This attack...... Do you have any thoughts on the identity of the murderer? ”

"We have a little guess, but we don't know for sure yet." The magician known as Dibba replied in a low voice, "But at least we know for sure - this attack was just a skirmish. ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

"Even if it's an illusion, this attack is too little of a threat to us."

Glancing quietly around the carriage with small eyes, the royal magician then raised his head: "Either the enemy is just joking with us, or ...... They had other goals, and they were just trying to make a noise. ”

“…… We are the only one in the mission, and I can tell you about it first. After remaining silent for a while, the figure representing Princess Rena waved her hand faintly behind the door veil: "His Majesty the Emperor will not accompany us to the principality, and there should be no similar plans in the future, so...... Not. ”

"Are there any other important people in our team?" Looking at the other party's reaction to silence again, Diba, who had already thought of something, asked his question lightly: "Does His Highness Rena know?" ”

“…… Go look into it. ”

The silence lasted longer as the soldiers around him withdrew, accompanied by the quiet and slender silhouette of Rena's body sitting in the carriage, and the faint and hazy figure pondered for a long time under the gaze and waiting of several magicians, and then issued his next order: "The Diploma family, the Pamuel family...... There may be some people in those nobles who are of concern to the enemy, or an enemy who is in charge of something. ”

"Got it." The royal magician named Dibba lowered his head again: "Everyone, including the Rock Bear Army, we will find out their identities one by one, and-"

His voice paused, and his expression of wanting to speak was replaced by the indifferent look of the magician on the side: "Those inconsequential people—such as adventurers—do we still need to investigate?" ”

“…… Yes. ”

The princess in the tent let out a sigh, and then turned her head as if she remembered this matter and asked, "Speaking of which, I forgot, don't we have some people who are professional in dealing with this kind of thing, wouldn't it be better for them to investigate this matter?" ”

"Where are they now?"

Following her line of sight of inquiry and exploration, a group of people turned their eyes to the rear of the convoy, and Duan Qing and the others, who had already been cleaned up, also withdrew to the carriage they belonged to with the investigation team again. Staggering to clean up the last few traces, Asahi Dongsheng, who was in charge of cleaning the battlefield, then pouted helplessly, and then jumped back into the carriage where he started to set off again, while looking around this uninhabited wilderness: "Sure enough, there is nothing." ”

"Fighting a bunch of illusions can also drop things for you, then it's really hell." Pulling the reins of the carriage, Duan Qing, who was sitting in the driver's position, replied expressionlessly: "You don't need to search for it, you just don't give up." ”

"With such heavy casualties, why don't you have to find a little field to come back." Asahi Dongsheng waved his fist indignantly: "The next time I meet that guy again, Lao Tzu must cut him in half!" ”

"I hope you can have a full understanding of your own abilities." Duan Qing crooked his eyes: "To put it in layman's terms, I hope you can know how many taels you can have." ”

“…… If we really hit that guy, we should still be able to beat it. Grinning and showing his own smile, Asahi Dongsheng patted his chest indifferently: "Even if I can't do it, isn't there still our head and others, as well as those two women...... Not. ”

"Has the woman recovered?" He shrunk his neck as he pulled his eyes into the carriage behind him, "Especially now that we've been taking care of her for so long...... The reason why this guy and that guy are still with us, you have to give us an explanation, right? ”

"Now that you have regained your ability to communicate, it would be nice if you have any questions yourself." Duan Qing rolled his eyes: "People don't want to say that there are naturally their own reasons, I can't give you an answer." ”

"Nonsense, you must have known about their situation for a long time." Asahi Dongsheng looked at Duan Qing with a look of contempt: "One follows your orders every day, the other follows you every day, and runs out to protect you at critical moments...... I can even see the relationship. ”

"Then I can't say that, and you can't say either." Duan Qing looked at the other party with a warning gaze: "You'd better not go around publicizing this matter, otherwise...... I'm afraid the enemies we have attracted are not only the level of Ivost just now. ”

“…… Shh ”

With a gentle sip, Asahi Dongsheng, who picked up the giant axe, then jumped out of the carriage again: "That's just right, let them come casually, the more bosses we give to us, the more rewards we can get." ”

"Then you have to have a life to enjoy it." Duan Qing shook his head and replied, "Don't forget the wounded soldiers in our car...... Don't say it's the future, even if Ivost goes and returns now, I'm afraid we won't have any means of resistance. ”

"Or your strength is too weak." Passing the slow speed of the convoy, the figure of Asahi Dongsheng then disappeared in front of the lengthy convoy: "Look at that Gedmayne, he brags about it on weekdays, but he is not injured at the critical moment?" ”

"Although I don't agree with your point of view, I don't have any position to accuse you of a level zero."

With a wry smile, Duan Qing, who was sighing, then turned around and got into the carriage: "...... Did you hear that, people said you can't do it? ”

"When the labor injury is healed, Lao Tzu must teach him another lesson."

With a large number of bandages wrapped around his shoulders, Gedmayne, who was sitting in the corner of the carriage, then smiled and pointed in the direction of Asahi Dongsheng's departure: "Let him know who is the father." ”

"Your multiple armor may be very strong against opponents of the same level, but the effect of the leapfrog challenge is really not very good." After checking the other party's injuries, Duan Qing shook his head in a low voice: "Not to mention facing the opponent with that strength just now...... Defense or something, it's probably useless to hold it up. ”

“…… It seems that shield warriors need to prepare not only for shields, but also for armor. So Gedemayne had no choice but to show his wry smile: "If I have the chance, I will find a way." ”

"Weight-bearing is also a problem at that time." Duan Qing, who stood up, then looked to the other side of the carriage: "But I've heard of some alchemy methods, which can make weightless spaces and the like...... Have it? ”

“……”

Sitting quietly at the end of her field of vision, Violet, who was being asked by Duan Qing, then slowly raised her face, as if she was thinking about something, her expression gradually changed into confusion and confusion, as if she didn't hear what Duan Qing had just asked. With a wry smile and retracting her gaze, Duan Qing's eyes then crossed over to where she was, and then staggered to the back of the carriage, approaching Xue Lingphantom Bing, who was lying there: "How do you feel?" ”

“…… It really doesn't seem to be the right force for us to use. ”

Xue Ling, who still maintained that pale face and was covered with a blanket, smiled helplessly and said with a wry smile: "Forcibly rely on the power of blood to act, and continuously draw out your own blood volume...... It looks simple on paper, but it's actually anti-human to use. ”

"It doesn't belong to the normal category of power in the first place, and certainly shouldn't expect these things to be in line with common sense." Duan Qing looked around at the other party's body: "I don't know how Frei developed this way of using power, but it is a natural end result to abandon it......"

"It was with this force that we were able to defeat Ivoste's." Xue Lingphantom Ice shook his head resolutely: "As long as I can help with the power, I won't give up." ”

"Good, good, at least a recognized skill within the framework."

Stretched out his hand and tried the other party's forehead, feeling the coldness, Duan Qing then reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the surroundings of the other party's body: "Rest now, and discuss the rest later, there are still toxins left in your body, and I have to find a way to solve it." ”

"You're a level zero player, so don't always toss back and forth here." Xue Ling Phantom Ice pushed aside Duan Qing's hand that wanted to continue checking: "Hurry up and go out to upgrade, it's the king." ”

"The previous errand assignments have finally rewarded me a bit, and it's been my main source of experience lately." Duan Qing replied with a light smile: "As for the future...... If you look at the current investigation team, there are not too many signs of mission that can be found. ”

"Then you should go, don't always rely on me-"

"Excuse me."

A neutral voice then interrupted the conversation between the two men, and at the same time completely distracted Duan Qing's attention, and the gray-robed magician, who nodded to each other with the white-haired woman, then got up and walked outside the carriage, taking into his eyes the grimacing faces of several Imperial soldiers who had arrived on horseback.

"We are members of the Imperial Rock Bear Army, and we have something to ask you, I wonder if you have time now?"
