The area around the imperial capital is not as safe as imagined, but full of dangers, causing Hiiragi to have to stay vigilant on the road.

In addition to the robbers encountered earlier, there are also man-eating monsters, especially in the dark night, where humans will also become their prey.

Perhaps it is precisely because the economy of the imperial capital is very prosperous and the trading volume is very large, that those robbers think that it is profitable here, and finally choose to loot around the imperial capital.

However, no matter who you are, you have to face the threat of monsters that may appear at any time, and Hiiragi is no different.

It's just that Hiiragi has also learned bad fighting methods since the first world, and can deal with some monsters that are not very powerful.

At the end of the day, Hiiragi also thinks that he is only suitable to stand behind the scenes, not in front of the stage.

Yes, just like I am now as the messenger, I am secretly investigating others, obtaining information, and not participating in any superficial battles.

Hiiragi also knows that there are only a few ways to fight, and the rest is just relying on instinct and ability to deal with the next situation.

As mentioned before, even with the ability to save infinitely, dying all the time is not a happy thing, and it is not a good practice to keep saving all the time.

Looking up, I looked at the moon in the sky, which was half obscured by dark clouds, and it seemed that the weather was not very good.

The temperature dropped a little, and Hiiragi tightened her clothes, and the clothes draped over Sister Hickley were probably swept away by the fire......

"Isn't it time to save them?"

Muttering, Hiiragi sighed too, and the sound of horses' hooves rang out on the empty road, mingling with the sounds of animals.

I heard the sound of cicadas, is the world about to reach summer?

Hypothetically, Hiiragi also made a hypothesis while riding a horse and paying attention to his surroundings.

Sister Sickley: They are the Revolutionary Army, and Hiiragi, who now has the status of 'Minister's Servant', is undoubtedly an enemy.

However, for the 'ordinary people' Hiiragi, they are the saviors of this world, not justice or evil, but saviors.

But even if you understand this, what kind of method should you use to reverse the plot?

The timing of the appearance of the four Rakshasa ghosts, Sister Hikri, and the circumstances in which they discovered their identities eventually caused a tragedy.

Even if they hadn't revealed their identities and were betrayed by other people in the church, they would have been killed at that time......

It is certainly possible to be the first to warn, but what reason do they have to believe in themselves, and where did they get their information?

Is it necessary to use violent means to force them to leave the church? Is there time to come?

"Always have to make sacrifices, right? ……”

Hiiragi also finally came to this conclusion, and it was not Sister Hickley who sacrificed them, or the Rakshasa Four Ghosts.

"Anyway, you can't find a way to kill the four Rakshasa ghosts in that church."

I guess it's hard to win even one-on-one, and it will definitely take a lot of time.

Just as Hiiragi was thinking about these things, a fire appeared in front of him, and then it became brighter and brighter, and a few soldiers stood under the tall city gate, checking on the people entering and leaving.

There are very few people in and out, and no one wants to go into the dangerous woods at night.

Although the Imperial Capital army has also swept away the monsters in the woods, it will definitely not be eradicated, and the threat still exists.

Arriving at the door, the soldier said that he needed to be searched.

While the soldier was searching, he put a note in Hiiragi's pocket, and then stepped back to let Hiiragi in.

There was a trace of doubt in his heart, but Hiiragi still entered the imperial capital as usual.

As soon as I stepped into the imperial capital, the dazzling light almost made people unable to open their eyes.

Even if there are not many pedestrians on the road, the decoration and lighting indicate the prosperity of the imperial capital.

Bolting the horse to the side, Hiiragi also walked to the corner and opened the note given by the soldiers, it was still a map, but it was a map in the imperial capital.

"Enter through the secret passage."

It's not incomprehensible, after all, his current identity is the minister's subordinate, and he is still investigating some things that can't be known.

Back on the street, Hiiragi follows the map.

Standing at the intersection, check the road, bypass pedestrians, avoid carriages and reach your destination.

According to the signs on the map, Hiiragi eventually came to the bottom of a bridge, and the entrance to the secret passage only required twisting the stone pillars under the bridge.

After completing it step by step, Hiiragi finally left the dark secret passage and came to the inside of the walls of the Imperial Capital City.

There is a staircase leading to the second floor.

"It's a bit of a problem."

Walking up the stairs, the end is lit by lights, and the walls are hung with paintings that look quite expensive.

Coming to the hallway, the door to the room on the right opens and the conversation inside can be heard.

"You can step back, and remember to bring the rest of the meat at the end."

"Yes, Lord Ornest."

This time the door was pushed open completely, and several servants ran out of it, and inside, Minister Earnest was sitting at the table enjoying a table of food.

Hiiragi also blocked the door with his hand to prevent the door from being closed, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and spoke

"Chancellor Earnest, excuse me."

"Oh? It's you, you haven't been in any trouble lately, have you? What is the condition of those people? What about the progress of the mission? ”

"The trouble is not a **** annoyance, the task of the four has been completed very smoothly, and the churches belonging to the surrounding revolutionary army have solved a few, and it is estimated that they will reach the intended goal tonight."

"That's good, those guys are always eyeing the imperial capital."

Hearing Minister Earnest's words, Hiiragi also sneered in his heart, the person who was obviously eyeing the imperial capital was himself.

In fact, Minister Earnest had already taken control of the real power of the imperial capital, and the young emperor was nothing more than a puppet.

No, the emperor is not exactly a puppet, but he believes in the words of Minister Earnest......

In terms of results, it's still the same.

Hiiragi also stood in front of the dining table, tilted his head slightly, and saw two young girls in the open room behind Minister Earnest.

The girls were thinly dressed and shivering, and they were about eighteen years old.

It's the same as you imagined.

Hiiragi also stared at Minister Earnest in front of him, he can kill him now, right?

But what should he do after killing Minister Ornest? Run away?

Even if you can escape, it will be much more difficult to collect the Imperial Tools.

No, no, there is another possibility.

Kill the minister and join the NightRaid, but the only thing that worries Hiiragi is that even if he joins the NightRaid, the task of collecting ten imperial tools will not be completed.

To put it bluntly, staying by the side of the Minister of Earnest in front of him, as his subordinate, is the easiest to get in touch with the emperor, right?

After all, Minister Earnest had given the Imperial Tool to many people.

"Then the next task is for you, give this letter to the assistant of the sect leader of Anning Dao, Berik."

"An Ning Dao's sect leader's assistant?"

"You don't need to know too much, just understand that you can enjoy the glory and wealth on my side, speaking of which, your investigative skills are good, remember to investigate the situation around Beric when delivering the letter to prevent accidents."

"Okay, I see."

Taking the letter from Minister Earnest's oil-stained hand, Hiiragi also put it in his arms.

"What else do you have?"

Seeing that Hiiragi didn't quit, Minister Earnest asked suspiciously.

"It's rude, but Lord Ornest, I've been working very hard lately, so ......"

"You're going to ask for these things too."

Hiiragi's gaze fell on the two girls in the house.

Seeing this, Chancellor Earnest spat out the bones in his mouth

"You're interested in that, if you want it, take it away, and send it over better another day, those down-and-out nobles won't cherish their daughters."

"Thank you very much."

Hiiragi also entered the house and took the two girls out.

"I'll take my leave."

"Go ahead."

He led the maidens to the passage that entered the royal city at the beginning.

Turning around, the two of them were startled and hugged each other with pale faces.

He took out some gold coins from his bosom and sent them to the two maidens.

"Go back and find your family."

““……””

The two girls didn't know what was happening, but they remained silent, with a look of surprise on their faces.

"I'm going to change my mind."

"Thank you, thank you!"

The older girl took the hand of the other girl and ran towards the exit.

After tidying up his clothes, Hiiragi took out the envelope after making sure that no one was around.

Open the belief and find that the contents are just some simple instructions, and ask Beric to pay close attention to the movements of the Tranquility Dao, and then find a way to ban the leader of the Tranquility Dao.

"It's going well."

Hiiragi also read the previous archive, and the envelope remained intact in his arms.

Chancellor Earnest was a wicked man, a scumbag, but he knew undeniably how he was going to get what he wanted.

Powerful enemies are terrible, but smart enemies are even more terrifying.

In terms of characters, Hiiragi doesn't like Minister Earnest either, but even if Hiiragi can approach him and kill him, it can't change anything.

Back in Wangcheng, Hiiragi also plans to take a bath, and Wangcheng's bathroom is estimated to be very luxurious.

Follow the stairs to the bright corridor and look for a bathroom while enjoying the view of the royal city.

Walking around a corner, Hiiragi suddenly spotted the person in front of him.

Originally, some people could be understood, such as the soldiers on the night watch, but the appearance of this person was too abnormal.

Why?

Why is it here?

What about the development of the plot?

What about the current state of the story?

What about changes in the world line?

Did you say that you weren't going to play according to common sense from the start?

That man was - Estes.

Her long water-blue hair swayed in the air, her white and black uniform set off her figure, and she was standing in front of the courtyard with her hat off, looking at the flowers in the courtyard in a daze.

Without thinking about it, Hiiragi also slowed down and walked through the corridor behind her.

This is an abnormal situation, and it takes a long-term view.

Merely......

"You, wait a minute."

"Hmm......"

Hiiragi also stopped when he heard Estes' words, and then ran wildly again.

The person who tells people to stop must be stupid!

But for Estes, Hiiragi's movement speed was too slow at the moment, and the long aqua blue hair that had been flashing by came into view again.

"I told you to stop, didn't you hear?"

Even though they were about the same, Estes still looked down at Hiiragi.

The sharp eyes fell on Hiiragi.

"What do you command, General Estes."

Hiiragi also looked at the Imperial General in front of him, thinking that he was in trouble.

"You have a smell of spices, then, exotic spices? I didn't smell it. ”

"That's a strange question, Lord Estes, why can you be sure it's the smell of an exotic spice?"

"Personally, I really like to study different spices."

Standing upright, Estes turned to look at the courtyard

"To study which of those spices can increase human suffering."

“……”

Should I say that it is a natural answer?

Hiiragi couldn't help but want to read the file.

"I also know of a yard where I like flowers and spices, do you want to come and see it? You're a spice lover, aren't you? ”

"Okay, let's put it that way."

In fact, it is all the smell that is dyed when cooking in the church.

Hiiragi also gave up reading the file.

Reason?

How to refuse to be invited by a woman, and most importantly, ......

Even if the plot changes, if you can have a good relationship with Estes, wouldn't you hug your thighs?

So, Hiiragi nodded one last time, and at the invitation of Estes, walked towards another courtyard.
