Chapter 23 The Strong and the Intruders (Part II)
In the kingdom of Ri Yestij, the central royal capital, there are two figures in a pavilion surrounded by flower beds.
The two sat on benches arranged in the pavilion, and above the round table in front of them were hot tea freshly prepared by the servant and special fruits from afar.
The girl on the west side, her long golden hair shining brightly in the warm morning sun, her fair skin like milk, like a finely carved doll, raised the corners of her mouth, stared at the hot tea floating with sugar, and spoke
"Lassa, where do you think those two people came from? As soon as they arrived in the royal capital, they sought out your "Rose Rose" team, and then invaded the area, and they must not be ordinary people. β
The girl on the east side, known as Lahagi, is also proudly beautiful, and instead of tasting hot tea, she picks up the orange fruit that has been washed and peeled.
"Judging from last night's fight, they have the strength to not lose to me...... Because in that night, I had already used most of my strength the moment I made a move, and if it hadn't been blocked by that barrier, I'm afraid that the king would have destroyed most of it......"
"Is it so serious? You gave it your all to those people in the first place? β
"Threat...... I felt a threat from them, something I hadn't felt in a long time; I've fought against strong enemies in the past, but I've always had confidence in myself, but the moment I made the move...... I had the fear that I would be killed if it wasn't done in an instant. β
Lahas Albein Drew Eindora, the captain of the steel-class adventurer team "Blue Rose", a nobleman of the kingdom, and a descendant of the thirteen heroes.
As a chanter of faith magic, Lahas can use fifth-order resurrection magic to pull the dead directly back from the Yellow Spring.
Not only that, but the current Lahise is already a warrior who has stepped into the realm of "heroes", and there is still room for growth, and she is likely to become a legendary figure in the future.
Lassa, who was given high hopes by everyone, was also very confident in herself, she knew that there were strong enemies in this world, but she had the confidence to challenge, but the two people she met before were obviously a little different.
In fact, Lass didn't know how powerful their specific strength was, maybe they were bluffers, or they were fake tigers, but no matter what, Lass felt threatened, which could not be ignored.
"But in my eyes, those two people are like travelers in a tavern, I don't know their identities, and there is no need to know their identities........."
"Princess...... Lana, for you non-combatants, it is difficult to feel the breath of the strong, after all, you are responsible for different fields; And we...... My companions and I can be sure that those two people are not simple, even if they seem to be ordinary people, they are actually very different. β
After finishing speaking, Lahagi ate the fruit and continued to make additions
"It's really hard to grasp the strength of the enemy in an instantaneous hand-to-hand, but the moment you can touch it, you can feel it from the breath...... The man I fought against, if I was not mistaken, must have killed a lot of people. β
"Male ......? Is it someone who introduces himself as 'Gu Wu'? He gives people the impression of being very calm and calm, especially when he is doing it to me, and he seems to have expected that you are all waiting nearby. β
"As I said, that man is definitely not simple."
In response to Lahaz's statement, Lana responded while pouring tea for herself
"Once the people who are not simple can take advantage of it, it can become very convenient, for example, now let them manage the problems caused by thieves."
"It's not just the thieves that exist in that distant mountain range, but also the demonic beasts...... No, that's not the point, what really matters is that there's an unsettling aura in that area. β
About a month ago, Lahas led the "Rose of the Blue" to a demon hunt in the distant mountains, also to complete the mission by the way, only to feel something creepy staring at her at that time.
Of course, they all know that it is an illusion, after all, if someone really stares at them, everyone will definitely find out and take action.
So when they returned, they began to think about what they had encountered, what was disturbing.
Faced with this question, Lahas and her companions did not come to a conclusion after thinking about it, because in their impressions, there was no such a threatening existence.
But there is no doubt that the distant mountains must have very terrifying monsters, and they are also very powerful monsters.
If they had the chance, they would definitely go to a formal investigation, but at the moment Lahagi and the others had other important tasks.
For example, to protect the royal capital, such as to investigate the traces of enemies who are trying to destroy the royal capital, such as to deal with the powerful adventurers who threaten the nobles, etc.
Originally, Lahaz would not bother with this, but at Lana's request, she decided to change her course during this time.
To sum up, they became the reason for the "Rose Rose" not to take action, so they would let the two of them go, otherwise it would definitely drag on for a longer time.
"I have to say that the timing of the appearance of the two of them is very coincidental, they came out at a time when you can't act casually."
"yes, I don't know what kind of trouble will happen in the distant mountains next."
"Actually, it's not just them."
Lana shook the hot tea and continued with a smile
"Many adventurers have also started to act together, and their purpose is the distant mountains."
"I've heard about this too......"
"Always let the guild send adventurers over, and then deal with those adventurers, so that everyone will pay more attention to the area."
"Lana...... Princess, did you kill the adventurer who took on the task of "clearing out the thieves in the distant mountains"? β
To be honest, Lahthus doesn't know this......
Hearing this question, Princess Lana, whose expression on her face did not change, immediately responded
"I just gave them a little challenge to prevent them from wasting their efforts, so many of them failed, and the adventurers who experienced the challenge were all killed in the end, although they had some strength."
"After all, many of the thieves stationed and operating in the distant mountains are adventurers who have given up their identities."
Lasaise knew why those people had gathered.
Because most of the adventurers are uprooted people, their purpose is to earn wealth through their own power and then live a happy life.
However, due to the turmoil in the past and the conflicts of some nobles, many villages and towns were destroyed, including the hometowns of some adventurers......
With no one to punish the culprits, the nobles and the royal family, the adventurers abandoned their identities and joined the rebels.
Thanks to this, the 'thieves' in the princess's mouth actually have a very powerful power, and they are not an existence that ordinary adventurers can defeat.
Of course, the "Rose of the Firma" where Lahagi is located can complete the task of extermination, but it is still in a state of being unable to get out of the body, and it is impossible to rush over and dispose of those people directly.
There is an even more important point......
The 'powerful threatening presence' that Lahise and her companions felt must be near the distant mountains, and it was not their style to directly contact the hidden threat.
"Closer to home, I had people follow those two men, and the result was ...... They suddenly disappeared from space as if they had never existed, and we lost all traces of them. β
"Those two ninja ladies aren't following you either, okay?"
"Yes, Tia and Tina have failed...... Those two used very rare spatial movement magic, and there were very few people in the entire kingdom who could use it. β
Spatial movement magic is not strictly combat magic, but if it can be used skillfully, it will bring about a qualitative change.
Princess Lana realized the strength of the two invaders before her.
"That's a good thing...... They and the group of adventurers had traveled to the distant mountains, and whether they succeeded or not, they were bound to cause a riot; Suppose that the group of thieves plans to contact other countries, then they will definitely fail, and then you can see which country is the most moving, even if there is no movement......"
Lana, who put down her teacup, looked into the distance
"There will definitely be any clues left at the scene, just send the knights to take a look at it when the time comes, if you can catch the other party's loopholes, it will be easy to deal with here."
Lana's purpose is actually very simple, which is to make sure that her own interests are not harmed, so she wants to take advantage of those who can take advantage of it.
"By the way, LahΓ¨s, what if they come back? After all, there is a possibility that they will defeat the 'threatening presence'. β
"I don't know...... If they need a reward, give it to them. β
"Do you have any clue about the questions they asked?"
That's it......
Lahaz thought about it, but didn't have any impression.
Neither she nor the other companions of the "Rose" had taken other people's treasures before, was she mistakenly recognized?
Lahagi thought of this possibility.
"What if...... It's just that if they fail in the distant mountains, or cause bigger problems, they'll need to trouble you. β
Hearing what Princess Lana said, Lahas nodded.
"Their presence is fundamentally a threat."
If you can't control it, the best way to do it is to eliminate it.
The kingdom of Ri Yestij is now in need of more change, rather than standing still, so external threats must be eliminated as much as possible.
"What are those two guys doing now?"
Princess Lana, who asked the question, quickly stood up.
"Anyway...... I'll go find Clem first, Lahuse, and see you next time. β
"Well, I'm going to investigate too."
The sun rises at this moment, but the warmth cannot dispel the ominous aura of the abyss.
Lahaz also stared into the distance, believing that this event would not end easily.
ββββ
Shatia Bradflen, the guardian of the first to third floors of the Great Underground Tomb of Nasalik, has the title of "War Maiden of Blood".
As a vampire true ancestor, he had pure white skin and smooth silver hair, and at the same time, his chest showed a proud bust that did not match his appearance age of 14 years old, of course, Gu Wu knew very well that it was a false thing.
But this is not the point, Gu Wu is not here to fight, he just wants to ask a question, that's all.
It's just that the practice of 'asking questions' seems to be difficult to implement easily, is it really because of the canonical problem?
After all, when people who seem to be strong meet, a battle often starts, and there is no room for negotiation at all.
And even if there were, it was only after the battle.
The strong defeat the weak, the stronger defeat the strong, and then repeat the process of slapping the face like this, which is really troublesome.
For this reason, Gu Wu at the moment is ready to fight quickly.
"Miss Altair, if there's a problem, we'll get it done in an instant."
"I see."
After getting the girl's answer, Gu Wu faced the vampire girl directly opposite.
"Hello, Shatia Bradflen."
"What are you? I didn't give the maggots permission to say my name. β
"There's really enough secondary two...... But it's also unexpectedly interesting; So let's get down to business, I know your boss and who Ainz really is. β
"Presumptuous!!"
The surging air flow rushed towards her face, and Xia Tiya, who showed an unhappy expression, stared at Gu Wu.
"Knowing my name and mentioning the Supreme Supreme, where does the information you have as an inferior creature come from?"
"I just want to meet Ainz and I'm sure I'll get a lot of rewards if you let me meet him."
"Reward?! It's a mere one-person category here, and you're not qualified to meet that adult! β
Shatia snorted.
"Then let your heads meet you!"
"Miss Altair, let's get started."
At this moment, both sides acted together.
Shatiya sprinted, AltaΓ―r disappeared, and Gu Wu moved forward.
In an instant, Gu Wu's chest was directly pierced by Xia Tiya's arm, but before this True Ancestor girl could be proud, the wound on Gu Wu's body disappeared, and instead Xia Tiya coughed up blood.
Lowering her head, Shatia's vision showed a penetrating wound the size of an arm on her chest.
"You ββ!!?"
"The setting of the undead?"
Altair's voice rang out, and her abilities were used.
The ninth movement, "Cause and Effect Return", takes away the 'setting' of Shatia, and at this moment, Shatia, who has become an ordinary person, loses all her strength and falls to the ground with serious injuries.
"I don't know if there is hypnotic resistance, anyway, ask her the location of the protagonist first, only in this way can the problem be solved quickly."
Gu Wu wanted to talk to Anzi directly.
No, it should be a conversation with Satoru Suzuki, and as a time-traveler, you may be able to find a common topic.
If all goes well, you can get the intel of the 'First Host' today!
