If there was anything more painful than riding a horse for eight hours, it was sixteen hours on horseback in a row. Marco has no sponge saddle and no shock absorbers.

Before the battle at Forte Fordi was over, the unhappy Rev Namlock and her exhausted retinue finally let go of their frothing mounts. By this time, firebirds were hard to buy on Lenny's streets, and the market had long since closed. They followed Lily's instructions and settled into an inn run by the Rulocks.

"I never thought I'd set a record for my life at such a time and in such a place. It's Advent......"

The normally pampered priestess gasped and grumbled, and struggled to climb down from her mount, which had fallen softly in the stables, but only for the sake of grace did not fall on the soft-looking haystack.

"For that money, I had to work a little harder. ”

Danika smiled and comforted. In fact, her condition is not much better, her inner thighs are hot and painful, and now she feels numb when she sees a stool.

The politician, who had just been freed from his horse, was throwing up on the railing of the stable, but unfortunately he couldn't vomit anything. The rest of the people looked much more relaxed, as if they were used to traveling, and their employer, Lily, strode out of the stable to book a room, and there was no sign of being in the dust. Seeing them, Reve's bitterness became even heavier.

"If I had known that I was going to suffer this, I would have told ...... Forget it, since it's all here. Uncle Nieton?"

"Yes, yes. The middle-aged pastor walked over, carefully picked up the eldest lady, and walked towards the store. Danika rubbed her legs and looked at the back of the eldest lady with some envy. The other two men immediately noticed this.

"Then I'll ......" "You ......"

Xiulan and Pike spoke at the same time, taking a step forward, and at the same time closed their mouths in embarrassment. The knight glanced at the Assassin in astonishment, then stepped back quickly, walked up to First Secretary of State, Chase Brighton, and helped the big politician, who had turned a grim face, out of the stable, leaving only two people in the stable.

"Uh...... Want to help?" asked Pike Tapp with a somewhat embarrassed smile.

Danika wanted to say yes, but she remembered the conversation she had last night and hesitated.

"Thanks, I don't think so. ”

She refused him in a panic, and with the pain in her legs, she limped out the door holding on to the dirty stable railing. She was terribly worried that Pike would catch up and help her by force - but luckily that didn't happen. After taking a few more steps, Danika glanced back.

The young Assassin, who was not good at social and verbal skills, still silently looked at the dagger at his waist, and did not make any gesture that would scare her. This scene made the kind girl feel a little sorry, but she still couldn't help but leave silently. She was a little afraid of the darkest of her companions—especially the two daggers at his waist. That reminds her of yesterday's battle......

After that, Pike has been in the stable, always.

Until the end of the grip of one of his daggers glowed red. He hadn't seen the emergency red light signal for so long that he hadn't even remembered for a moment what code he should use to open the handle of the dagger.

“.e.......a？”

He tapped the handle of the dagger repeatedly, and finally bounced off the end behind the second code, revealing a small metal rod embellished with four royal blue gems. Without hesitation, he crumpled the metal rod into a ring, and this time the magical object burst into flames.

"You're all in Lenny, aren't you?" It is only a courtesy confirmation, because at the same time as the "communication buoy" is activated, the communicator will be given a relative distance and direction.

"Yes. ”

"Emergency. 'Honor' was captured, and Forty Castle fell. The re-established Provisional Southern Bureau was not strong enough to rescue the hostages. The voice spoke quickly, "This is Mist Hawk's intelligence, absolutely accurate. ”

"Where's the task at hand?"

"Cancel. The target person is handed over to the Southern Bureau for protection, and you assist the Southern Bureau in its operations. When you have completed this task, return to Teresa with all the men as soon as possible. Times have changed. End of call. ”

"Hmm. "The call is over. Pike recoiled the handle of the dagger, his brow furrowed. He knew that this easy and adventurous task that seemed like a vacation was over.

Adventurers' late-night snacks are simple and hearty. After the first meal of Adventing, the men and women went to bed. Danica was with Reev this time, and she set up simple defensive magic as usual, and put on new underwear before going on G. The priest fell asleep early, snoring softly, but Danika tossed and turned.

"Ten thousand pounds, that's too easy. I always feel like something is going to happen tonight......"

She rolls around in bed, thinking about future adventures, worrying about her employer's betrayal, and missing her home not far away, never able to sleep peacefully. A faint moonlight shone on the head of the bed, and she stared at the window lattice, boredom practicing her basic spell-casting gestures. In a trance, she heard a soft whistle outside the window, like a goblin whispering. A faint mist shrouded the surroundings, and everything was like a quiet dream.

The brown-haired girl slowly stopped gesticulating, closed her eyes, and fell asleep with a pillow in her arms.

The window was gently pushed open, and the whispering elf fell silently to the ground. No one could see him, and around him was a city of silence that shrouded a few dozen feet in range, with hypnotic whistling in his mouth and Sandman sand in his hands. He crept around Denika's bed, ready to walk to Reif's......

"Even if it's an oracle, it's too cautious to come in like this. ”

"He", who was silent and without a trace, stopped suddenly. Although it knew it was impossible, it did hear the girl's dreams under the effect of the silence technique. He turned his head and was relieved to see that Danika was still lying on the bed--

At the same time as he let go of this breath, the quilt in front of him suddenly flew up in the air and pounced on him.

(Activation!when...... ）

He subconsciously lowered his head and ducked. The living quilt immediately unfolded and sank downward, instantly marking his location! The stealthy infiltrator hurriedly took out the magic blade he was carrying, and with a stroke of his hand, the quilt immediately burst into flames and turned to ashes in an instant.

But this was enough for a genius girl magician to grasp his place. Danika leaped to her feet, picked up the repeating revelor that had been hidden under her pillow, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The dagger, which could slash flames, was nailed to the ceiling along the trajectory. The magazine rotated four times in a row, aiming at his shoulders, abdomen, and legs, and then silently pressing against his head.

Under the influence of the magic of silence, all this was silent, and even the priestess did not wake up. If a layman watched from the sidelines, he could only see the girl's figure dancing alone in the moonlight.

"Alright, alright, I surrender. Your own people, your own people. ”

The intruder lifted the silence spell and said in a casual tone. Danica ignored him, and just put the gun in her hand against the invisible head.

"Don't be close, I haven't heard you. Disarm invisibility!"

"Wait a minute...... the man's tone was still not too nervous, "Hey, when are you going to wait?"

At the last moment, before Danica's index finger was snapped, the door to the room quietly opened, and Xiulan's voice came from the door.

"Miss Vilen, what he said is true. That was the interim head of the RSA Southern Bureau...... Moreover, you didn't hit him just a few times, and even if you shoot again, I'm afraid you won't be able to kill him. ”

"Gee, it's not fun to say it so early. ”

The infiltrator unlocks the invisible magic. Danika was startled, and the gun fell to the ground. The man with glasses in front of him was actually standing vertically on the wall!

All she had been pointing at with her gun was a small round shield in his hand. What she covered with a quilt just now was just an illusion he deliberately played.

"I told you that our current Miss Wizard is definitely something to rely on, Isaac?"

"If I hadn't used this magic sooner, I probably should have called Cousin Jett to help with the treatment. Looking at the age of twenty at most, how could she have such an experience?"

The bespectacled man said as he walked up to the ceiling, standing upside down and observing the room. He wears a dark blue masking suit and silver-rimmed glasses, and looks polite.

Danika lowered her head, realizing that she was still wearing only her underwear, her face was red, and she hurriedly retracted into the bed and grabbed the mattress to cover her body and change her clothes—the quilt had been burned. Feeling fooled, she asked, slightly dissatisfied, "Test, Night Raid, what the hell is all going on?"

Xiulan looked at the corridor to confirm that there was no one, closed the door, and lowered her voice.

"R is for 'Royal'. s is for 'security'. A is 'y'. That is to say......"

“...... Royal Department of Security?" Danica struggled, finally understood.

On the land west of the Roof Ridge Mountains, there was one and only one royal family. "The Endless Blood", "The Lines of Gifted Kingship", the co-owner of a quarter of the known world-

An irrepressible sense of absurdity flooded into her mind, and her eyebrows twinked and she smiled a little awkwardly. She loves freedom and critters, and hates power and politics, but the nasty things are always creeping into her bedroom and messing up her peaceful life. More questions are pouring in.

"Why don't you explain everything when I join? Don't you agents even check other people's backgrounds?"

"Because it was an emergency. On the night of our first meeting, the Southern Directorate of the Ministry of Security was almost completely destroyed, with the Director missing and the Deputy Director being held hostage by the rebels. We fled the city in a panic, and by the time we were about to reconnect, all the connections were almost broken, and we were too conspicuous if we didn't have cover - and then we ran into you. Xiulan bowed down and apologized to her, "I didn't have time to explain until now, I'm sorry." ”

"And I was temporarily sent to preside over the Southern Bureau. As a subject of the Empire, there are always some unexpected tasks......" The man in glasses added, "I'm a magician by profession, and I've been doing research on gravity and optics lately, and now I'm only working for the Ministry of Security. ”

Realizing that the other party didn't know about her father, Danika breathed a sigh of relief, "If that's the case, you goddamn agents still owe me a self-introduction." ”

"Actually, we're not all agents. My real identity is that of the Chief of the Knights of the Guard, Viscount Huran von Dillamon (). Pike is from the Home Territory Bureau of the Ministry of Security, and I don't know his real name. Uncle's real name was Jett Newton (), one of the twelve cardinals...... By the way, this one in front of you is his nephew. ”

Isaac Newton (). I'm glad to meet you, ma'am. ”

The man in glasses slammed down from the ceiling, rolled over, and stood firmly on the floor. Danika glanced at the narcissistic man, shrunk into the quilt, and continued, "And what about our employer, Miss Namlock?"

In fact, when she asked this question, she had almost guessed the answer.

The employer is right. You can spell her last name backwards. Xiulan replied.

“n-a-m-r-o-k...... Sure enough. So, she's one of the few princesses in the world?"

Xiulan nodded in confirmation, "Please allow me to introduce the Emperor's sister, Miss Olya Hugh Korman. ”

Danika glanced at the priestess beside her, who was sleeping crookedly and didn't look like a princess, and sighed, "Is Kirman's strongest blood...... You're going to come here tonight, which means there's an accident. What's the matter?"

Isaac replied, "It's the news from the 'Fog Hawk', the deputy director of the Southern Bureau, who left with the coup army earlier. Fort Fort fell, the rebel marshal was captured, and so did the envoys we had sent. ”

"Do you mean to free the hostages?" the secret envoy and the commander-in-chief of the rebels...... You want to use grace to get the Juloks?"

Danika judged. Her dislike of politics does not mean that she lacks an understanding of the situation. After all, she has a childhood sweetheart who likes to talk at the dinner table after reading a book or a newspaper, and an irresponsible father who holds a high-ranking position in the Free Army. When she heard this, she understood who her opponent would probably be this time......

"Ideally, but the stakes are too great. Xiulan added, "We may also have to fight against the army of your homeland." If you don't want to, you can choose to leave or escort Her Royal Highness back home. After all, this task is not suitable for girls......"

Hearing this, a frost suddenly condensed in Danica's pupils. The Chief Guard Knight paused, not knowing what he had said wrong.

"Well, I'm going to do it. I'm afraid you won't even be able to find the Supreme Court, right? ”

The girl rubbed her tan hair, suppressing her excitement. She never believed in fate, but now she kind of wanted to believe it. The opportunity she had been waiting for, to take revenge on her bastard father, who had repeatedly ruined her peaceful life, was so quickly placed in front of her.

(As the saying goes, a son grows up only when he surpasses his father.) I don't know what will happen to my daughter if she surpasses her father? I shouldn't be worse than any man, right? I'm not going to let you trample on my life for a celebration, Dad...... No, Clad López. ）

Danika Vilen, the great improver of change and disguise-like magic, who named the largest city in North New Zealand after her surname, smiled confidently.

"Let's discuss plans, gentlemen of the Empire. ”

The night fog thickens and fades, and finally becomes a thin layer of frost on the glass windows, and then turns into dew when it meets the warm current in the house. A new day is about to begin.

Postscript to this volume

Yike...... Because of overtime, this volume was written for a long time, so slowly, and it was broken in the place where it shouldn't be, so I apologize to everyone first. The project has been doing so badly lately......

I wanted the volume to be extended to 200,000 words, but I felt that it was too rude, so I put a break at the end of the Battle of Fortei and the split of the protagonists' camps. The next fourth volume is "Morning Dew", which is definitely going to drag on to about six chapters at present, and it will be the end of the chapter of the free country...... I have a feeling of "finally getting through this vulgar episode" (laughs). The end of this volume has been conceived for a long time, but I don't have time to write it......

This volume may be a bit boring for readers who don't like to watch wars, but the next volume will be an action movie (laughs). If the previous battles were only at the beginner level, the hand-to-hand combat in the next volume will suddenly be promoted to the advanced level. History will also go on a completely different path with the efforts of the beautiful girls from the thick. According to the setting, the poor non-existent male protagonist will only be able to do the first magic now...... It's finally time to turn over. A lot of people haven't appeared lately, and it's time to reappear in the next volume......

In short, that's all for this volume. See you in the next volume.

(The first section of the next volume will be released on Youth Day.) I accidentally worked overtime to play the game and didn't update it for a month.,I'm guilty...... ）
