CHAPTER XXVI

"Don't pretend to be unconscious, I know you'll wake up a long time ago."

In the middle of the night, the chief guard stood expressionlessly in front of the girl, whose arms were tied behind her back, and she still looked unconscious, repeating what she had just said.

Shi Junjun, who was panicked in her heart, was still trying to pretend to be unconscious, but her gently fluttering eyelashes had already betrayed her.

"It's obviously a great magician who can kill Gangboharu, but he's so timid." He scoffed, "I'll count to three, and if you don't open your eyes, the sword in my hand won't wait any longer, one, two—"

"Okay, okay, if you find out, you want to kill, and you have to listen to it."

The girl who sat up stretched out her white jade-like neck and leaned towards the chief of the guard, and her palms were already soaked with sweat as she looked fearless.

Although he couldn't understand the language of this human in another world, he could tell from his tone that if he continued to pretend to be dizzy, maybe he would really give her a sword.

"You don't understand me?" The chief of the guard replaced the official language of the kingdom with the local dialect of South Lysyphus, "Do you understand this?" ”

Seeing that Shi Junjun still had a little headache with his wide-eyed guards.

He struggled to recall the meaning of the words used to speak that language on a regular basis, and asked again slowly, in a jerky tone.

After listening to it, Shi Junjun, who couldn't help but want to cover her face, secretly slandered, big brother, if you don't know how to talk about it Chinese you don't need to talk about it......

A sentence cobbled together with a dozen unrelated words is really awkward to sound like it.

Noticing the girl's strange expression, the head of the guard, Reinhardt, thought that the other party understood his words, and was surprised and embarrassed.

Because his limited knowledge of this aristocratic language comes from the occasional display of Viscount Robinette, it is impossible to use it flexibly to talk to people.

So the two people's attempts to communicate returned to the starting point.

While Captain Reinhardt was meditating on how to communicate, Shi Junjun, whose brain was spinning rapidly, took the lead in making a move.

She half-crouched up and turned her back, and reached for the captain's sword, which was tied behind her back, and the meaning could not have been more obvious.

Since you came over in the middle of the night with a sword and didn't intend to kill, you let people go......

Caught off guard by this completely unexpected action, the captain of the guard grasped the hilt of his sword and took a step back.

Seeing the girl's inquiring eyes, the chief guard pointed to the ground, and then pointed to Shi Junjun's hands that were tied behind her back, and slowly shook his head.

What do you mean? Can't put yourself here? The girl who saw these two gestures couldn't react for a while.

Immediately, her gaze swept over the rest of the resting group a few paces away, and it seemed that the leader of them had come to her, who had spoken in a loud voice, if he had not reacted to the conversation between the leader and her captive at this distance......

The deflection of her gaze did not escape the eyes of the Captain of the Guard, Reinhardt, and after seeing the thoughtful expression of the girl who was with the goblin, he silently unfolded a delicate cloth embroidered with Robinette's family crest in front of her.

Shi Junjun, who had a good memory, slowly remembered that the nobleman of the different world seemed to have taken out the same handkerchief in front of her.

The man in front of him...... Standing next to it that day!

"Glad you remembered." Satisfied with Shi Junjun's reaction, the head of the guard, Reinhardt, spoke in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, those people have already added special condiments to their dinner, and they will never wake up before dawn tomorrow to eavesdrop on our current conversation...... Sorry I forgot you don't understand my language. ”

Immediately, the chief guard gestured again, so that she roughly understood what she had said earlier.

For this human from another world who can stun his companion and say something to herself, the girl is naturally vigilant in her heart.

And the next person's actions were far beyond her imagination of this person's intentions.

On that handkerchief, he sketched a person's head with charcoal, and Shi Junjun easily recognized it as the nobleman of the otherworld.

The man then threw his handkerchief into the air and drew his sword from his waist...... Volley cut the handkerchief with the portrait in half.

He's going to ...... Kill that otherworldly nobleman?

But wasn't he that man's subordinate?

It turns out that people from other worlds also play the enemy in Honnoji Temple......

Looking at Shi Junjun's puzzled eyes, Chief Guard Reinhardt looked bitter and did not explain much.

He had been serving Viscount Robinette for ten years, and the latter's recent actions had finally forced him to make this difficult decision.

Before the humiliation of this forest, the nobleman was not easy to serve, but on the whole it was still acceptable.

Until that day, Viscount Robinnet, who had returned to his fiefdom after being humiliated by this human girl and the goblins, began to rapidly degenerate in a bad direction, and before he was ordered to go to this forest, the number of servants and attendants in the castle of the lord of South Rissyphus had been secretly executed after torture for some trivial reason had exceeded twenty.

And the one who killed the more than 20 people in the end......

It's him.

If you count those companions whose bones are still slowly rotting in this forest, in just over ten days, he has killed more than thirty innocent people with his own hands.

Many of them are people they know well, and many of them are even friends who get along day and night......

They begged to spare their lives......

They cursed themselves before they died, and sooner or later they would die by the sword of others......

The ghosts of these innocent people would appear whenever he closed his eyes, and his clothes were ragged and bloody, and he couldn't sleep every night during this time.

There are more important reasons.

"Robinette ......," the man said through gritted teeth, "he shouldn't have threatened me with his family." ”

His daughter was only four years old, and her mother had just arrived in South Rissyphus, and had not yet had time to attend the church-run school, and his wife and parents, who were about to move from a village near the royal capital, to South Richsyphus, were completely ignorant of Viscount Robinette's insidious calculations......

Shi Junjun looked at this inexplicably angry man, and had already roughly guessed the reason why this person came to find him.

Reinhardt, the chief of the guard, was no longer willing to act as Viscount Robinette's sword for innocent killing, he wanted to kill the master he served, and then take his family away.

With his near-rival in South Rissyphus, it would have been a fairly easy task to kill this powerless nobleman, but now a big accident stopped his movements.

Viscount Robinette has a close protection magician by his side.

Perhaps it was because he had long been aware of his dissatisfaction, or perhaps he had become more vigilant after being humiliated, and he stayed at home in the lord's castle all day and re-expanded the guard after purging the Viscount Robinette, and summoned the magician in the brown robe after sending a message to the family.

Where there are people, there is class, and this sentence also applies to the group of magicians in another world.

They were divided into ranks by the color of their robes, starting with the apprentices in pale cyan robes, and their status levels went from low to high, wearing blue, brown, gray, black, and white robes, representing the rank of apprentice magician, magician, archmage, magister, and holy magister.

You must know that in the remote geographical location of South Lysyphus, there is only one magician with the highest level of magic in the territory who has only recently put on a brown robe.

The one who came from the Conrad family has been wearing a brown robe for twenty years, and is said to be expected to change into a gray robe within ten years and officially become a great magician.

From the first day of his arrival in South Richsyus, the magician had been guarding Viscount Robinette from morning to night, even when he was eating and sleeping.

If you want to get rid of that violent nobleman from another world, you have to face this brown-robed magician.

On a one-on-one basis, the Chief Guard Reinhardt didn't think he had no chance of winning, but as long as the brown-robed mage dragged him back, it wouldn't be a few minutes before he was surrounded by the Lord's Guard.

The Guard...... There are no more of his friends.

He knew that the brown-robed wizard from the branch of the South Lane Siphus Wizards Association would never participate in the assassination of the lord when there was a conflict within the region.

In other words, in South Richsypheth, he has not been able to find any foreign help.

Gangboharu is also quite a formidable presence in this forest, and the human girl in front of him can kill the creature with a thick scalp with pure magic.

This means that her strength may even be stronger than that of the brown-robed wizard in the South Richsyus Magic Association branch.

With such a foreign helper helping to hold back the brown-robed mage sent by the Conrad family, he Reinhardt was confident that he would put Robinette to his death, even if the entire Lord's Guard stopped him.

There is also a big reason for his reluctance to hand over this human girl to Viscount Robinette.

That...... She spared them all.

As long as she arrives in a certain place, she helps the person in front of her to hold off a guy who is also magically powerful enough time, and when he slaughters the alien nobleman, he will spare himself and the surviving goblins in that village.

The girl, who had secretly tried many times and still couldn't use her magic to burn off the restraints on her hands, looked up and stared into the eyes of the chief of the guards, but she couldn't see any traces of deception and lies.

She nodded slightly, indicating that she had agreed to the Captain of the Guard, Reinhardt's offer.

said like the choice I had, Shi Junjun complained silently in her heart.
