"Of course, I think Grandpa Carol will be glad to meet you, Mr. Roland. ⊥Top Novel, www."

However, after returning safely to the capital of Brumandi, Erin was like a kitten returning home, and the expression on her face immediately became extremely excited.

This mood is understandable, after all, what she has experienced along the way is probably the most dangerous journey in her life.

"I'll lead the way, Miss Irene, and please stay with me."

"Betis, they're back in Aston City anyway, I'm familiar with the roads in the city, trust me! Wouldn't I even know the way home......"

Just as Erin was about to walk forward, the female knight Betis ignored her protest and pulled the blonde Lori behind her with one hand and slowly walked forward.

In this way, Roland and his party of five left the port and headed towards the aristocratic quarter of Aston City.

Because now they are located in a port on the edge of the city. Next, they need to cross the inner walls of Aston to reach the aristocratic quarter in the center of the city.

It was inhabited by a large number of imperial nobles, and even the royal palace was built in that area.

The Sun Chamber of Commerce is at the junction of the aristocratic city and the commoner city

It's not a short journey, so they now need to find a horse-drawn carriage to get around.

Sass the Thief and ten Shadow Knights escorted Prince Wicks back to the palace, while Roland himself followed Erin to the Sun Chamber of Commerce, all according to his plan.

As for the ghost ship moored in the harbor, it had disappeared from the sea before it knew it, returning to its normal course.

Even the dockers didn't notice when the wrecked ship had left. Some people even wonder if the bow ship sank to the bottom of the sea. After all, the bow ship did look like it was going to sink at any moment.

Although Roland's team of five people is not very large, the body of the centaur girl is really conspicuous, and almost all adventurers passing by will glance at Christie.

Suddenly, the voices of some adventurers caught Roland's attention.

Turning his head, he saw several adventurers gathered together, whispering and discussing.

When they felt Roland's gaze on them. The topic was terminated one after another and quietly dispersed.

"Did you see that? That's a race of centaurs, haven't they always lived in the forest? How did you end up here......"

"Hey man, leave this alone, did you get any message? The Grand Prince Weeks has been killed, and even Esmond, the Black Iron Shield General who went to the rescue, has been killed! Oh, my God...... I don't know what crazy guy would do such a thing. ”

"Yes, it's a pity, I've heard that the next heir of the king will be announced in a few days......"

"Shhhh You bastards, even if you knew about that, you couldn't talk about it in Aston City! Have you forgotten what this place is? ”

Listening to these conversations, Roland's brows couldn't help but furrow.

Unexpectedly, the news of Wicks' "death" reached here in just one day, and it must have been deliberately spread by the people behind the assassination.

And what worries him the most is that the heir of the royal family announced that he had made an advance, knowing that the current king's body is still in a healthy state.

Although in the plot of the game. The heir to the throne will be Wicks, but so many weird things have happened. No one can guarantee whether it will affect the "plot".

Even if the outcome is not affected, those nobles and royals will definitely not rest on their laurels if they know that Wicks is still alive, and they will definitely look for a suitable opportunity to assassinate Wicks again.

But...... This matter does not need to be worried about by Roland for the time being.

Because no one else knows the news of returning to Aston City, even this trip back to the palace. It was also a secret passage that no one knew about, so this time was enough for him to complete the task of escorting Erin first.

"Hey, guys, do you need a carriage that can get into the inner city?"

When Roland and the others left the port, a childish inquiry sounded not far away.

Keep your eyes on it. I saw a small child who seemed to be just an adult driving a horse-drawn carriage parked next to an adventurer's inn, seemingly waiting for guests.

"Hmm...... Well, we do need a carriage that can get into the inner city. ”

Roland glanced around, then nodded and said.

It's still early in the morning, and there aren't many horse-drawn carriages on the streets. Although the carriage in front of them was a little dilapidated, there was no way out of it, they couldn't walk from the edge of the city to the center of the city.

"Okay, a couple of guests."

When the little boy heard Roland's voice, a hint of excitement immediately appeared on his face, and he drove the carriage slowly towards them.

This is his only business for a few days, and he must not miss it, otherwise he will have to nibble on black bread for lunch and dinner.

And looking at the clothes on those people, it doesn't look like an ordinary adventurer, maybe the other party will give him a lot of consumption.

"Guests, please get in the car, I promise to get you to the inner city safely."

The boy jumped out of the carriage and said stiffly in a respectful gesture to them.

“…………”

At this time, Roland did not speak, but glanced at the narrow carriage with a frown.

The space inside the carriage didn't seem to fit four people. At most, three people can sit, and that's the premise for Erin to sit on Betis's lap.

"I'm sorry...... Ladies and gentlemen, my carriage is a bit small. ”

When the boy saw Roland's face, he immediately reacted that his carriage simply could not accommodate so many guests.

In an instant, his face immediately turned pale, and he slowly raised his head to look at Roland, for fear that the other party would give up the idea of riding in the carriage.

"It's all right, Miss Irene, you can sit in it with Betis and Catherine. I'll just sit outside...... As for Miss Christie. You're probably going to have to walk with the carriage next......"

In desperation, Roland had no choice but to make this compromise decision.

He sat with the boy in the carriage, the centaur girl following the carriage, and the three Irene sitting in the carriage.

"Of course it's fine, and I prefer the feeling of being in contact with the earth in comparison."

Christie doesn't seem to have any problem with that. Nodding slightly, he replied.

Erin and Betis didn't care, they got into the somewhat dilapidated carriage as Roland wanted.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be ready to ......"

When everyone was seated, the boy feebly asked Roland for his opinion, and then began to slowly drive the carriage in the direction of the inner city.

The port isn't very far from the inner city of Aston, at this rate. It only takes about an hour to get there.

The sound of wheels clattering was particularly harsh on this silent road.

After a while, as the carriage drove out of the harbor, a large and familiar building immediately slowly appeared in Roland's field of vision.

Absolutely, that building is where King Bluman lived: the Imperial Palace!

Since it is the symbol of the royal family, it is also the most heavily guarded place in the whole of Aston City.

I saw that it was a majestic European-style castle building. It looks like it's the size of a small city. And you can clearly see that there are some griffon knights hovering in the sky.

"This guest sir. Is this your first time in Aston City? Maybe I can be your guide, you just need to pay some copper coins. ”

At this moment, the boy beside him asked Roland in a whisper.

"Alas...... Sort of. ”

Roland replied lightly, the last time he came here, it was in the game of his previous life.

Suddenly, he noticed that the boy's face seemed somewhat familiar. It's like I've seen it somewhere.

After thinking about it for a long time, a figure from the game in his previous life slowly appeared in Roland's mind, and it overlapped with the little boy in front of him in a big way.

But after thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't find any clues, and it was like waking up from sleep. It is as if I have forgotten about something that happened in my dream.

"Hey man, can you please tell me your name?"

Roland hesitated, looked at the other party with a puzzled look, and whispered.

"I ...... My name is Ben. Alam. ”

The boy looked at Roland's face and hesitated for a moment before saying his name.

But when Roland heard the name, his face changed suddenly, as if he had heard something unbelievable, and he kept scanning Alam with suspicion.

Why was he so nervous?

Because Ben. The name Aram was the fifth top thief in the fourth order of Aenoble in the previous game, and he was also the founder of the Purple Assassination Alliance.

"Alam...... Really? ”

Now the boy's name turned out to be exactly the same, which made Roland have to feel nervous.

Unfortunately, Aram in the game is covered with a face, which makes it difficult for him to identify.

It was for this reason that Roland needed to confirm that he didn't want to mistake such important information.

"Your name is Alam...... So do you have a younger sister? Her name is Hidden ......."

"Ahh How do you know...... Mr. Guest ......"

In an instant, Alam was so shocked that he almost lost the rope that was holding the horse.

After hearing the other party's answer, Roland was already sure of the conjecture in his heart.

This guy who has no characteristics in the upper ranks is the fifth-ranked top thief Aram, and his sister Yin is also one of the top ten thieves.

Thinking of this, an idea couldn't help but slowly emerge in Roland's mind.

Perhaps he could take these two guys with great potential under his command, and then have them work with the thief Sass to create an underground organization similar to the assassins, which would be able to provide effective intelligence information and prepare for the next plan.

"I've only heard your name in some places, but ...... Now that I have a new job to introduce to you, would I like to hear about it? ”

A smile appeared on Roland's face, and he said slowly. (To be continued......) R527
