Eighty-Four: New Missions

The revelation of my identity made me panic, but this kind of love only appeared for a short moment and was suppressed. When I think about it, it's too early to make a decision, and I can still do enough to deal with it.

There are only four people in this house, in addition to the old man of Nebos in front of him, the housekeeper waiting on the side, and two servants who are not good-looking, it seems that there is basically no combat power at all, if there is really a conflict, the side that hits the street should obviously be them, and I have no need to panic about this.

Even though Nepos had already ambushed five hundred axes outside the house or elsewhere, I had every confidence to make a big splash in the city of Marcus with the roar of the dragon in its full form. Although it may be inevitable that he will be caught in the face of crowd tactics, this can at least alarm some of the big people in the city.

After that, I will entrust my acquaintances, such as Akai's priest Verulus, and the court mage of Lord Igmund, such as Kasimer, who have an old relationship with me and have a lot of power, as long as they can say a few kind words for me and prevent me from being executed immediately as an ordinary prisoner.

Thinking of this, I calmed down completely, and at the same time looked at Nepos, who was lying leisurely in the couch. He looked nonchalant and had no intention of turning against me, which meant that there was a value in me that was more important than the identity of the "remnant of the oathbreaker", for which Persia was willing to ignore my sensitive identity.

But what kind of value is it? Thinking of the precedent of Mydnage being spared the death penalty by the Silverblood family and imprisoned in the Hidana mines, could it be that Nepos also wanted to use me to do something in the shadows?

"Thank you," I asked, quietly taking Medenaki's emblem into my pocket, and asked Nebos in disguise, "a stylized emblem, was this what you gave me?" But I remember that the crest of the Silverblood family should not look like this. ”

In the face of my pretended ignorance, Nepos did not break it, but continued with my words, "I gave it to you...... But I did not give it to you in the name of Silverblood. ”

Sure enough, Nepos's intentions were guessed by me, and since it was not in the name of the Silver Blood, it was in his own name. At this time, he nominally separated himself from the Silverblood Family, which also showed that he was not loyal to the Silverblood Family. From this I came to a preliminary conjecture: Tonal. After the sudden death of the Silverblood, Nebos wanted to take more power from his dead former boss, and even wanted the troubled Silverblood family to belong to his name.

But what role can I play in his plan? Do you want me to help him assassinate all the people in the Silverblood family who oppose him and those who are higher than him? But in this case, Nepos can go to those experienced professionals, as the real power of the silver-blood family, he should not lack that commission......

Well, let's hear what Nebos has to say next.

"You did a good job last time you volunteered to take on a task, so I hope you can help me with another matter these days."

The crucial message came, and Nepos made a bland request to me, but there was an unmistakable flavor in his tone, he really wanted to use my identity to blackmail me into serving him. Now that the handle is in the hands of the other party, I am not in a hurry to refuse, I will listen to what the other party asks for first.

"Please."

"While you've been away from the city to clear out the dragons, there's been a theft in the Ishishita Fortress."

Theft? Thinking of what he had seen when he returned, Nepos was referring to the theft of the Forge Museum in Cassmer.

"You mean the Dwarven Museum?"

"Yes," Nepos nodded, "I need you to bring the stolen goods back to me." ”

Well, I thought he wanted me to do something bad like killing people and setting fires, but I didn't expect it to be a good thing like recovering stolen goods...... Although I always felt that things would not be this simple, I should be glad that he could make such a request that did not violate my principles.

"I can take this task, but ......" I made my gesture clear, and I tried to ask Nepos what he really meant, "I'm not good at catching thieves, and I don't even know where they are." ”

Nepos waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I know. ”

Clams? Since you know where the thief is, you can just mobilize people to catch you in your capacity, why bother me to do something with half the effort? No, there is no reason why Nepos should not understand such a simple truth, but he still entrusted this task to me alone. So there was only one possibility: Nessas was inconvenient to intervene in this incident, so he could only secretly send me to act for him.

It's inconvenient for a powerful boss like Nebos to make a move...... It seems that the relationship involved in this theft case is a little too complicated, and I have to force myself into it as a stunned young man who doesn't know the situation, is this really appropriate? (To be continued......)
