In fact, this castle was built inside the mountain.

Speaking of a castle, to outsiders, it looks like it's just an ordinary adventurer's guild located on the top of the mountain.

In addition to accepting some monster hunting missions for adventurers, it is also a tavern that does not do business, and any adventurer can have a drink or two in the tavern.

However, just now, the man in front of him who can manipulate spatial magic has lifted the illusion that shrouded the entrance and exit of the rebel organization, otherwise Koichiro would never have discovered the true face of this place.

"Introduce myself, I'm Ashley Nair, a Thunder Divine Emissary, a Space Illusionist, and it was Lord Lilith who summoned me and my sister Lulu here a few days ago, and welcome back, Lord Ernest," Ashley said respectfully.

--

After about half an hour, several people were sitting around the round table.

At this time, Koichiro finally met with several other members of the organization.

In addition to Lilith, the kimono woman I saw last night, who looked very powerful, Itina, a healing pharmacist in a pink dress, and Ashley, a man with a mechanical arm who had just become strong, the other two Koichiro didn't know who they were.

It seemed that the burly hunk was staring at Lilith intently, "Is this Lilith's destined person?" ’

It seems that the man who has a crush on Lilith.

The other looked a lot like Ashley's sister Lulu, with similar eyebrows and eyes, and she sat very upright, but in her attitude, oh, she was staring at the air in a daze, as if she was distracted, thinking about something else......

"Your Excellency Ernest, this information letter from the Revolutionary Army is a task we will complete in the near future."

Lilith brought a stack of parchment notes and flipped through them for Koichiro.

'Task?' ’

'What was the last time you woke up?' ’

'I have to know where I stand as soon as possible!' ’

The document recorded an assassination plan, and Koichiro read the contents with the eyes of a new world, and he flipped through a few pages of this information book sent by the revolutionary army.

'Am I joining the Black Coat?' ’

This time, the plan was completed by Lilith with Ashley, Lulu, and Ernest, in fact, the main personnel were Lilith and Lord Ernest, and Ashley and Lulu were both assistants, providing convenience like transportation.

I saw that the task to be carried out was written on the intelligence document:

[Target]: Richard

[Class]: Monster Merchant

[Evidence]: Buying and selling subhumans/orcs, abusing monsters

[Source Force]: None, but he has a berserk potion, beware of accompanying monsters

[Time]: On the 1135th day of the first year of Teyvat, Baron Rugo's evening party ended, about 11 ticks in the evening, and squatted an hour earlier

[Location]: Rugo Manor, near the Dark Forest

[Number of people]: A team of boxers, about 10 people

[Ambush Point]: ......

There are more than five pages in total, which not only lists the crimes of the assassination target, daily acts, assassination methods, etc., but also a very complete and thorough plan, accurate to the time point and place of each step.

Through this battle plan, Koichiro immediately discovered some clues.

This battle plan seems to be assigned tasks according to the special magic of the members or their own specialties, and each step has a detailed plan to ensure that the plan is foolproof, and even has consideration for sudden changes in the battle plan.

'It was indeed very thorough', and Koichiro rarely praised the man who set up the assassination plan.

--

Subsequently.

Lilith took out a heavy cloth bag and placed it on the round table with a "dang bang".

Lilith said, "That's what the client paid us. ”

'Looks like the bounty is still very rich!' ’

Koichiro glanced at it, roughly estimating the value of the mission, but it looked a little different from the bounty mission posted on the tavern bulletin board.

On the side, an uncle wearing a white power suit with a hedgehog head, a burly figure, and his eyes were almost glued to Lilith.

But he's not a color embryo, this look ......

It may be that the lonely bachelor has some kind of sincere affection for the beautiful Miss Lilith.

At this point, Bruder spoke, "Leave it to me, Miss Lilith, this task will be a piece of cake for me. ”

Then, he slapped the table and said, "I can already smell the blood of the money on it, it must have come from a brave adventurer or gladiator who fought for his life." ”

When Bruder slapped the table, Koichiro could even feel the dust on the table shake up and spread outward......

The dust flew gorgeously on Hangichiro's face, "What a strong skill, what kind of palm is this......?"

"Put away your confidence! You have other tasks. ”

Lilith snorted, turned her head away, and handed the topographical sketch with the detailed battle plan to Lulu Nair, prompting Lulu to withdraw her attention.

"Ah, ah, I'm sorry for me, I'm distracted again......".

Lulu was drawn back to her attention by the topographic sketch that Lilith had suddenly placed in front of her, and hurriedly stood up from her stool, slightly embarrassed, like an inattentive student who had been named by a teacher in public.

Lilith then patted her head and told her to sit down.

"A brave and handsome man still has to take on more important tasks," Brude said, wiping the hair on his forehead as he pretended to be careless, after being refused.

In fact, it is not the first time that he has been rejected by Lilith, but Bruder just likes to rush to do things for Lilith, and sharing the tasks of the lady makes him feel very fulfilled as a man.

Koichiro looked at the other person who was following the mission, Lulu Nair, who was Ashley Nair's biological sister.

Lulu was a natural-looking girl in a light purple robe, obediently clubbing, holding a very thin metal wand.

"Ahh This is a special customized version of my brother. ”

Lulu noticed Hangichiro's gaze at her, so she picked up the wand in her hand and waved it, saying cutely to Hangichiro.

Lulu-san speaks softly and gently, and has a very cute personality. ’

"Hmm." Instead, Koichiro gave a polite smile back.

"Hey! Your Excellency, don't just exude your charm! The people of the Nair family are not easy to mess with! ”

Ashley was jealous, and protected his sister Lulu behind him, staring at Koichiro as if he was facing a wolf in front of him who would eat his sister.

"Uh......"

Koichiro raised his forehead, "When it comes to his sister, does Ashley even ignore her name?"

'I didn't do anything......

"Sister control is terrible X100", Hangichiro slandered in his heart.

Let's get back to the mission.

Here, Lulu and Ashley's abilities are different, and their personalities are also opposite, Lulu's ability is to communicate with monsters, that is, to talk to all animals, even monsters, which is the ancestral ability of her ancient Nair family, but only girls can inherit it.

The Nair family's predecessor was a nomadic people, and they were later recognized by the faun during the long-term domestication of monsters, thus gaining this ability.

--

Then, Koichiro bowed his head and was silent, making people wonder what he looked like.

He went through the investigation of the mission again, and the most hateful of the assassination target was the underground trade in monsters related to the Gaeland Empire.

This is not a harmless monster like a house pet, but a merriful monster merchant Richard who has discovered a berserk demon species with stronger attacks and great damage to crops by illegally researching the hybridization of monsters.

If it is used on the battlefield, there is a high probability that it will quickly eat up the grain and grass of the revolutionary army, so that the revolutionary army will be caught off guard, and if there is a problem in the supply of grain and grass, it will definitely change the situation on the battlefield.

If this kind of monster is released in the villages of other countries, it will endanger the basic survival of a large number of innocent villagers, so that the fields that the villagers have worked hard will eventually be harvested.

At the same time, Richard intended to provide the Gaeland Empire with the cultivation method of the Berserk Demon Seed in exchange for fame and fortune such as knighthoods, and provide the Demon Species to the Campbell royal family of Gayland through bribery channels, so that the Empress Silides could control the civilians and expand the territory.

Therefore, it is necessary to kill the monster profiteer Richard and cut off the cultivation of the berserk demon seed from the root.

But!

Due to his own safety, Koichiro did not respond to Lilith's assignment because he wanted to know more about the incident.

'I turned out to be a killer? ’

'How did you get all that strange magic......

'Can magic be defeated with a sword?' ’

The doubts in my head piled up all at once.

--

Koichiro asked, "Lilith, this is the information handed over by the revolutionary army troops, but whose task is the fixed-point investigation?" ”

"It's a secret request for a bounty received by the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army, and then the situation is summarized according to the eyeline of each stronghold."

"HQ?"

"Yes, it is the general situation, in order to resist the invasion of the usurper," Lilith explained calmly.

This seems to be a little different from what I guessed that the mercenary organization that collects money from people and does things for others is a little different? ’

That night, through the conversation with everyone and the analysis of the mission, Koichiro sorted out his thoughts, and the true face of this organization was roughly clear.

It turned out that the Revolutionary Army was an army under the rule of Silides, the daughter of the barons of the Campbell family, who opposed the usurper of the Gaeland Empire.

As for the Warrens family behind his name, he is the decent successor who has always stood behind Gayland, that is, the second princess, Love Campbell, who sits on the hereditary throne of the monarch.

As for the reason why the Warrens family would meddle in state affairs......

The orthodox heir should be hereditary, and if the heir is too useless, then it is understandable to change it. ’

Because, the second princess, Love, Campbell, and the Marquis of Ernest Warrens have been married since childhood, and the two large families signed a contract for the governance of the next Gaeland heir on this matter.

However, Cilides was not convinced, and she did not know how to break the demon seal that only a god could suppress, unleashing the ancient demon, and by selling her soul to the demon, she gained a powerful ability that she should not have.

So the scheming woman relied on the trust she had accumulated over the years of disguised well-behaved and sensible appearance, and used the power of the devil to assassinate the managers of the two aristocratic families without much effort, thus snatching the position that belonged to the decent - the princess Love.

Then after usurping the throne, she ruled completely according to her dark character, and changed a lot of rules of survival, which completely shook the foundation of the people's livelihood in the Gaeland Empire.

It is precisely because of her extremely harsh and dark rule that the Gaeland Empire is now like a hell on earth.
