"Why are you in Avaklin? Is it a coincidence?" Fidelia was startled at the name of the destination of their trip. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"It's not quite a coincidence. ”

"But, if not a coincidence, what exactly are they targeting us? Natsuki frowned.

"Is it possible that it has anything to do with the mage you have dealt with in Yangdu?"

"It's not impossible. But that's just one of many possibilities. "Based on the clues that the two girls have so far, the girls are not sure what the purpose of those people is to use the orcs to attack them.

There is too little information, this is the current situation of the girls, and there is only one way to get more information.

"We won't be able to get any more information without going to Awaklin, so," Natsuki picked up the reins as the carriage that had unexpectedly stopped started again. "Let's move on with our trip. ”

"Yes, Natsuhime-sama. Fidelia adjusted her sitting position slightly.

The carriage galloped toward Avaklin.

In the Empire, most cities rely heavily on magical technology, but Avaklin is a heretic, for unknown reasons, the entire city has no magic, and once someone uses magic in it, it will have an uncomfortable feeling that it is difficult to breathe. Some people say that the former lord of Awaklin died because of magic, so he turned into a haunted spirit, and forbade the people in the city to use magic, and some people say that it was because the dragon king of the dragon in ancient times was sealed here, and in order to maintain that seal, he continued to absorb magic, but because Limberstein, who is also a sealing place, did not have such a situation, so it seems that more people have a skeptical attitude towards this statement than the former.

Countless magicians have come to investigate the cause of Avaklin's appearance, but to no avail, and the fact that Avakrin has no magic has spread throughout the country.

However, the fact that there was no magic brought another development to Avaklin, and that was the development of technology. This is what sets Avaklin apart from the rest of the city. In this city, there are no facilities that require magic to be powered, instead, there are a series of facilities that can function without the help of magic. Throughout the history of the Empire, all technologies related to science developed from here, and Avakelin became the scientific and technological center of the Empire. Although magic is still in control of the core of the empire, the technology developed here is also changing people's lives, and a series of convenient technologies such as waterwheels and ox farming are all invented by the people living in Avaklin.

This is especially evident after the disappearance of magic, and it can be said that they are barely affected by any of the disappearance of magic.

The confidence of Baron Willos, who controls this city, to raise troops comes from here, accompanied by advanced technology is a strong military strength, although it is still inferior to his ally Count Fernans and the emerging Luo army, but it is enough to make Baron Willos dominate one side.

There is an inspection post next to the gates of this city famous for its technology, and because it is an extraordinary time, the soldiers in the inspection center are extremely careful to check for merchants and travelers who want to enter the city.

When the sun rises to the highest point in the sky, the number of people entering the city gradually increases.

"When you come like an ant, then you have to start getting busy. With a somewhat rude grumble about the people entering the city, a soldier staring out of the window of the checkpoint said, his gaze resting on the simple carriage that was about to enter the street.

What caught his eye was the unusually beautiful silver-haired girl on the bridge, and the blonde girl sitting in the carriage.

The silver-haired girl carries a simple long sword around her waist that can only be described as ordinary, probably for self-defense.

Can two young girls traveling together really travel safely and soundly with such a look? It would be nice to say if it was a powerful magician in the Age of Magic, but it is impossible for that to happen now.

Who are those two women?

The soldiers moved their eyes with questions, and their attention was all attracted by the girls, and there were many people who wanted to take the opportunity to make things difficult for the girls to attract attention.

Under the watchful eyes of the soldiers, the carriage entered the door and stopped.

The girl in the driver's seat was the first to jump lightly from the carriage, and in just a moment, a drop of sweat dripped from her forehead, but the sweat disappeared immediately. Judging from the fact that the horses were panting, the girls must have traveled a long way, and it is hard to imagine that the girl who is a driver does not have a trace of fatigue at all, has she changed shifts with the blonde girl? Many soldiers who thought like this turned their eyes on the blonde girl, but it was obvious that the blonde girl was the same as the silver-haired girl, without a trace of fatigue.

The soldier approached the girl without relenting, and asked first with a soft expression and a close voice, and the content of the question was a general examination, as if it was not warning you, please enjoy the feelings that have been relaxed.

"Adventurers?"

"Yes. ”

"What is that? Have you ever heard of it?" the unfamiliar term puzzled the soldier, and he asked his colleague.

"I've never heard of it. His colleagues were just as puzzled as he was.

"In other words, is it a suspicious identity?"

Sensing the tension floating between the soldiers, the girl frowned. The guildmaster told him that if he told the identity of the adventurer, he would be able to enter the city smoothly, but was that a lie?

Xia Ji, who finally realized the problem, was too late to change her words at this moment, and sure enough, she should use her identity as a businessman to prevaricate the past, instead of talking about adventurers as soon as she came up.

Actually, if you think about it, you can understand it, right? The adventurer was raised by Vis Sterling, who belonged to the Empire, and now that Natsuki is no longer in the territory of the Empire, but in the territory of the so-called Imperial rebels, wouldn't it make people think that he is a spy with the identity of the Empire?

Cold sweat dripped down from Natsuhime, who sensed that something was wrong. I didn't expect to make a fatal mistake as soon as I came up, so how to solve the incident of the Dragon King?

In fact, the soldiers seemed to have recognized them as suspicious and took the two girls into the checkpoint.

"Can you sit there, then?"

"Yes. ”

The girl sat down on a chair that was placed in the room.

"First of all, tell me your name and where you are starting from. ”

Xia Ji, who realized that something was wrong, began to think about how to answer, if she said Yangdu directly, I am afraid that she would be immediately treated as a spy, should I lie here?

"What are you hesitating about?" the soldier's suspicious gaze made Natsuhime very uncomfortable.

"Yes, Natsuki, fleeing from Francis. Eventually, Natsuki said.
