The current situation became clear to Brunei, although there were still some unsolvable questions, but those were irrelevant.

In my head, to put it simply, Mr. Thrace Fernando was very interested in Brunei and wanted to take him together as a subordinate - it should be said that he was a bit of an abnormal desire, and now I recall that when the "gold coin" won Fernando's 100,000 standard units, that guy's behavior was very abnormal, and there were some signs of paranoia at the moment.

Later, for reasons that are not clear, Mr. Fernando has the same abnormal paranoia about whether or not his subordinates are the bearers of the spirit emblem - judging by the clues in the words of Mr. and Franks, it is probably hatred...... In short, due to his abnormal mental condition, he resorted to a series of measures to confirm Brunei's identity.

It started with investigating Brunei's usual habits - so Jamie wasn't the only one to be questioned by the man in black. They presumably bribed or threatened those questioned not to tell them, and if Jamie hadn't drunk too much that day, they probably wouldn't have let them know.

As a result, I got information that "Brunei will talk to itself as if it were talking to someone". Given that the system's form of existence is quite similar to that of the Emblem, and perhaps more details are known, Brunei Darussalam's identity is "most likely the holder of the Emblem".

If you think about it normally, it's enough to get here, and it's okay to give up the idea of taking yourself as a guard. After all, there are so many people in this world, and no matter how powerful his Fernando family is, his personal actions are not enough to investigate everyone to this extent, and it is clear that the spirit emblem bearers themselves have not heard of in the past, but they are not a very rare type for them - in short, there is no reason to cling to themselves at all.

But Thrace Fernando is clearly not a normal person. As with the vague feelings he had had in the past, his excessive paranoia, combined with the intense hatred that might well have something hidden, drove him to act very irrationally.

He kidnapped the eldest lady Skali Miltrov in order to confirm whether she was the holder of the spirit emblem. Normally, if you think of this kind of thing, you would wonder if your brain is broken, but now, Brunei has to believe that it is true.

The amount of 50,000 standard units of kidnapping was previously considered a bit disproportionate to the risk, but now it seems that this is the price chosen to accommodate Brunei's own financial resources. For Brunei, the difference between the remaining 50,000 and the remaining 100,000 is not particularly big, and it is also a number that he has no real feeling. At the same time, it is impossible for Brunei to come up with so much money on his own, and no matter how close his relationship is to the eldest lady, it is impossible for him to take the property of the Miltrov family at will.

Then, Brunei will definitely go to the "gold coin" to collect the arrears. This will make it possible to determine whether Brunei has taken action and when. As a result, it is possible to avoid unnecessary waste caused by the actions of a powerful second-turn mage like Franks and an existence like a "third-turn mage" like Mr.

And 50,000 standard units are also not a small number, although Thracian Fernando's brain is not normal, but as a "young master" is far more competent than the eldest lady and William, so he can actually control the "gold coins". It is precisely because he is competent that he will not let his willfulness cause the "gold coin" to be ineffective - as the hostess said, he gave the "gold coin" a large sum of money, just so that Brunei can take it out smoothly.

All the facts are clear. Brunei's deliberate attempt to make the knife more conspicuous was the final confirmation, and it did have an effect. Including the hostess and the two guards, they all knew "Mister", knew "Mister's" knife, and, judging by the hostess's last somewhat frightened performance, she also knew the great strength of "Mister".

As for the unsolved puzzles of why Fernando was so interested in himself and why he had such hatred for the bearer of the spirit emblem, to be honest, Brunei was not interested. The only problem that needs to be solved is where the eldest lady is, theoretically speaking, it can be known by investigating the Fernando family's assets in the east of the city, but Brunei does not have that ability, nor is there such a need, he has an easier way.

[Phew, now you want to rely on me again? Didn't you just say something arrogantly saying "I can solve this problem by myself"? Go on, solve it by yourself! Little bastard, pick up the bowl to eat, put down the chopsticks and scold the mother, and have a long face. 】

“...... Scold. If I ask for a verdict, can you refuse?" Brunei considered this question for the first time because the system had been begging him or forcing him to take advantage of him, but he didn't panic at all, and he didn't know why, he had a special conviction in his heart that he would definitely get that answer.

【...... Cut, I refuse to answer such boring questions, you bite me. 】

"Hmph. Brunei laughed.

After a few more walks, the walls were already close at hand, and the closed gates held back all creatures that tried to infiltrate the academy city. Brunei knew very well, however, that it was an illusion, that the gate was like a boulder trying to block the stream, and that the pitted gaps and holes below made the water rush faster. He walked to the small door with ease, similar to the situation on the outskirts of the southern part of the city, where it was strangely dark, and there was no one to be seen.

Brunei walked to the small door with a little confusion, knocked on it, and was suddenly stunned.

"Damn!" The muscles on Brunei's face suddenly twitched violently, "Completely forget about it, I'll go!" I was too nervous at first, but after the fight, I couldn't just think about tactics, so many messy things happened, and I completely forgot about it! System, you bastard, you don't know how to remind me? What do you say you're so good for?"

[Hey, hey, hey, I'm a system and not a secretary, don't you have to enter the memo alarm clock before it rings, you can blame me?

Brunei is not in the mood to scold the system there, and a more serious problem is in front of him, that is, he can't enter the city! Usually little Munch will stay outside the city or inside the small gate, because the time when the suburbs in the south of the city play a role is mainly at night, and if he is not there at night, he will lose a lot of income.

But today is different! Big Munch also took care of himself when he went out of the city, because of the "martial law," little Munch himself had to return to the city before dark! No wonder the area around the brightly lit "gold coins" that usually happened at night was pitch black, and even the "gold coins" stopped operating. Because the wealthy customers who came out of town won't be out tonight! No wonder there's no one outside the door, because there's no one to help guide the way or carry things.

I didn't even list these questions as suspicious points before, I just thought about it casually and let it go! Of course, even if I thought about it, it was useless, and after dark, it would be impossible for me to take this road into the city again.

Brunei gritted his teeth and tugged at his hair, feeling more chagrin and headache than he had ever felt before.

[Have you not had the experience of being in a disadvantageous situation because of your own mistakes for a long time? Didn't you almost get killed by the fat and thin combination a year ago because of the trick that the sperm worm played to save the beauty of the hero?]

"It wasn't you who pouted at the time. Brunei rubbed his face vigorously to calm himself down. Despite refuting the system, it is right to say that perhaps things have been going too smoothly lately, and that I am not used to situations that are completely out of place. This mentality is very dangerous.

[Hehe, it seems to make sense. The system may have been very happy to see Brunei Si's headache, and rarely came back to talk to Brunei Si without taunting, and changed the topic after casually responding.

[Listen, little Brunei, this is the first time that your system has taught you the philosophy of life in a serious way?

[It's good not to solve it, accept the arrangement of fate, and obey the will of God. If you don't want to go forward, the wall in front of you will no longer be an obstacle!Take the current situation, do you really have to go into the city!Isn't there an option to just go away and leave the humble place of College City!]

Brunei's face twitched a few more times, causing the ground cover to shake with it: "No." ”

After replying to the system's serious nonsense, Brunei's emotions finally calmed down and began to think seriously. I don't plan to leave College City just yet, but I have to wait one night, and I think I will be able to get in after dawn tomorrow...... At least there is a seventy or eighty percent possibility, which is also a plan.

Brunei thought about it again and rejected this idea. The reason is very simple, if you can't enter the city, it doesn't mean that Franks and "Mister" are as powerful and have a close relationship with the Fernando family, and people with deep backgrounds can't enter the city. No matter how inconvenient their movement was, one night would be enough time for them to enter the city through the West Gate.

At that time, given that Fernando was not in his right mind, it was unclear what action he would take. Something went wrong with the eldest lady, and it is not clear what will happen to him with his back to the Fernando family, and he will definitely not be happy.

Well, call the door into the city—that's impossible. Originally, there were strict rules for entering and exiting College City, otherwise this small door would be meaningless, and the Munch brothers' business would not have any beginning.

So there was only one way left to cross the sea into the city by yourself. Theoretically, this should be the same unlikely solution as calling the door into the city. If College City was so easy to get into, then the rules for entering and exiting would be meaningless. Even if you can get in and out on your own, it's not something that a mere mage can do.

However, Brunei has two advantages that make him eligible to consider this option.

The first is that Brunei was originally from the academy city, and there are many people in it who know him and can prove his identity, and the first time he entered the city, he was marked with a strange symbol around his neck. In other words, as long as he can enter smoothly without being discovered, in the eyes of those who do not know, he will stay in it all the time, and there is no problem of sneaking into the city.

The second is that Brunei is not just a "mere one-turn mage", he has a system, and the "stealth" skill can allow him to blend in smoothly. It already has a success rate of 60%, and it can be mentioned even higher with the help of dark nights, so it's worth a try.

The only question is how to climb the walls - the first step is to find a section of the wall that has no guards on it. Mostly because of the "martial law" mentioned by Munch, the south gate of the city is the same as the west gate, and the guards stand at the head of the city with a rare majesty.

[Reconnaissance verification: 24<3020>10, big failure. You try hard to get your hands and feet stuck in the gaps between the stone bricks, at first it is actually fruitful, relying on a weak physique that is not much stronger than before, climbing up to a height of five or six meters, but the more you go up, the more difficult it is to find the gaps between the stones, your body strength is passing rapidly, you feel fear without experience in climbing walls, your legs tremble uncontrollably, and finally your feet slip, and your hands can't hold steady, and they fall. 】

Brunei tried to adjust his posture in mid-air, but unfortunately he found that he couldn't find which side was up, and before he could really do anything, a strong vibration was transmitted from a little to the right of his back, followed by a fiery pain as if he had been burned, and the ground that had seemed flat was covered with small stones, like a huge creature that looked gentle, and only showed its sharp teeth at the poor prey that fell from the sky.

[You have taken fall damage of 1D6=2HP, current state: HP=9/11.] 】

Brunei gasped, only to choke on the blood that poured into his mouth and coughed several times. But when I sat up, as with the data given by the system, although the pain was very strong, it was actually just some inconspicuous trauma, specifically, probably a little bit of skin - a lot of skin.

Enduring the pain, he pulled out the small stones embedded in his back one by one, gasped for a while, and concentrated on using the healing technique on himself, and it took two times to succeed, and then opened the small box and absorbed a part of the spiritual power from the external magic emblem. After about three minutes of tossing, it was considered to be back in good condition.

“...... Hiss. Having said that, the previous pain still lingered in his mind, and Brunei took another deep breath and complained in a low voice, "Did you do it on purpose?

[Actually, it's not very often, hehe.] Do you know what the survivorship effect is? I mean—]

The system began to gush again, and it seemed that seeing Brunei Darussalam's deflated diet did make it feel good. Brunei shook his head, habitually ignoring the chatter of the system in his head, and scratched his head.

The easiest way is really not so easy, and just now I learned that the success rate of this climb is 10, to be honest, try it at a frequency of five minutes, with past experience, Brunei feels that it will take a long time to climb up, and at that time, there may be people on this section of the wall.

So we have to think of something else as soon as possible...... If you can't rely on the system, the rest is your own body – or magic. Thinking of this, Brunei's mixed knowledge of the past came in handy, and a third-level spell that was not very commonly used emerged from Brunei's memory.

"Jet Flame", a third-level fire spell with a powerful burning effect - that being said, as a spell that chants for up to one and a half minutes and consumes up to 100 points of mental power, it can only make the target a little more mushy than ordinary flames and does not make much sense, the coverage is very small and leads to a low hit rate, and the most important thing is that the recoil is very strong, which makes it difficult to operate, and it is very difficult to chase people and shoot, and it is not worth the long chanting time and huge mental power consumption.

"......" Brunei tried it three times, and after losing nearly 200 points of spiritual power for no reason, he finally recalled the correct spell and spiritual power fluctuations, and the dazzling flames erupted from the palm of Brunei's downward hand with a strong air current, and at the same time, Brunei Si exerted force on the soles of his feet, jumped upwards suddenly, and jumped more than three meters high!

Unfortunately, the momentum slowed down a lot, although the flames continued to spew, only allowing him to rise to a height of about four meters, and then began to fall slowly, and after twenty seconds, the flame spray ended, and Brunei fell back to the ground. Fortunately, the height was much lower this time, and Brunei also mastered the technique of falling, and landed smoothly, but the soles of his feet were a little numb.

[Hehe, this can't work, little Brunei, you still have to rely on me for this kind of thing after all. If you don't want to continue to waste time with "climbing", why don't you have a wave of cheats? Besides, you don't have any other way now, do you?]

"There's no other way...... Brunei frowned, and said thoughtfully, "Indeed, if I'm still only at this level, there's really no other way but to rely on you......"

【...... What do you want to do? Do you think you can break through in battle? What kind of novel do you think you are? Don't be too arrogant, little Bruneith. 】

Brunei lowered his chin and ignored the system's mockery: "Before...... Didn't you say when you manipulated my body to fight Franks, 'It's not multicasting,' 'Of course I'm using a method that you can use too.'" ”

【...... That's right. Of course, I said that I wanted to teach you how to really belong to a mage's gorgeous battle, right?]

“...... The duration of the water film procedure is two minutes...... So, if you can start chanting twice in less than 20 seconds, you should be able to ...... It must be successful. Brunei pondered, "So, how do you do it......?

............

In the deep darkness of the night flashed a light as fiery as day, and the slender figure was in front of the flames, and it was the light around him that made him look even darker, high above the edge of the city wall, the light was extinguished, and the black shadow fell lightly above the city wall.

The blazing fire had disappeared, leaving behind what should have been a thicker darkness, but the light in the figure's eyes had not been extinguished, but had become more dazzling.

"I see, I see. Ha, such a simple ......"

He breathed heavily, as if he was out of breath, and finally simply ripped off the mask on his face, his teeth shining white in the moonlight, and the maniacal smile made the corners of his mouth grin all the way to the base of his ears.

"Haha, hahaha!"
