"The aristocratic spirit of Betar is in my hands." The bard stretched out his dirty palm.

"You don't have anything on your hands."

"That's right! Nothing! ”

When the bard finished complaining, he drove away the prisoners who had come up close to eavesdropping, and it was Annan's turn to say why he had slipped into the dungeon.

"I had a conflict with Gema of the Diatra family, but I needed the magic ring for the auction, so I asked the mage Murat to bring it back, but he was missing, so I had to investigate the truth."

"You're here in person?"

"I don't have a lot of manpower...... You can't let Fast or Copperbeard come. And there are other purposes. ”

For example, investigate Gemma, but now it seems that there are new branches such as rescuing aliens and saving orphanages...... And rescuing the bard.

"They're really just going to mess everything up." The bard agrees.

"Do you know about the auction?"

"I'm asking the right person, as an eyewitness, I'll slowly tell you what happened at that auction—"

"It's not a tavern, and you're not telling a story."

"Sorry, get used to it. I want to think where to start ......"

The auction offers a lot each month, and there are countless rare and valuable things, but none of them have become scandalous like this: a mage from the Mage's Tower stole Danilo Drum's magic ring, and then searched the city of Betal for days before arresting him.

Ignoring the conflicting part, it is known: Murat got the magic ring; Danilo Drumm snatches the magic ring; The Diatra family is on their side.

"Do you know where Murat is?" Annan asked.

"All I know is he's not on the first floor. If you get into trouble like you say...... He was at least three floors or even deeper. The bard scooped up the stone and threw it at the prisoner, and continued: "You can reveal your identity and scare them to death." ”

"And then quietly annihilated by the Diatra family?"

"The Twelve Kings of the North are forever united...... Never mind. "There are days when contracts are violated, not to mention verbal agreements.

"You can catch Lady Winter!" The Bard suggests, "As long as you talk to Lady Winter about it at dinner, she'll settle it for you." ”

No one really thinks of dinner with Ms. Rindon as a regular dinner.

"I'm not good at telling jokes."

"But you're good at making women smile."

"It's slander."

Annan immediately retorted, but it was really hard to be annoying......

"You're a warlock, and your appearance is your second weapon besides spells, make good use of it!"

"You want to make the king of the northern realms tempted?"

"There's no shame in this, the vampire queen will abandon her bloodline identity because she fell in love with a human, and she will raise the divine fire to become the god of love after spreading."

Annan, who has just come to another world, may be moved and envious when he hears this story, but he has experienced the baptism of conspiracy in Breeze City...... The so-called "vampire queen falls in love with humans" is more like a pretense laid out for the sake of becoming a god.

"Could Lady Winter be a nezumi?"

But Annan felt that it was suspicious that a Winter Lady appeared at this time: "I was played with by a nezumi disguised as a noble lady in Breeze City before. ”

"Uh...... It's good to tell me in the dungeon if you say that, don't say it......"

Lady Winter is a royal bloodline, and she is still the cousin of the current king, and saying that Lady Winter is a rat man is like pointing at King Rikaner's nose and scolding: Your family is all rat people.

Crushing the flesh or annihilating the soul, there is always a kind of torture for you in the Inquisition of the Kingdom of Rekaner.

"What's your secret to making Lady Winter smile?"

Annan considered using Lady Winter to hide his identity and solve Murat's affairs.

"I told Madame Winter that there was a tax collector who was as greedy as the dragon, and that he felt the hand of a goblin in his pocket while searching a merchant in his customary way."

"Where's the funny part......?"

The goblins living in the city are pickpockets and thieves, and the goblins in the wild are also greedy and cunning, satirizing the tax collector and the goblins.

It seems that the relationship between the Lady of Winter and the royal capital is not friendly, and that the bard is not so innocent when he is captured in the dungeon.

But this kind of joke can make Lady Winter "set off an arc...... Annan could see her throat.

Declining the bard's offer of a few jokes, Annan remembered a question: "How did you become their leader?" ”

Syllable!

The bard snapped his fingers, and a milky halo of illumination appeared in the cell, and the darkness was nowhere to be seen, and a dozen prisoners appeared with longing and awe.

Even if the bards were half-casters—though the gods of the elves and breezes they believed in and worshipped disappeared after the turmoil came.

"And one last question, how do I get out?"

"Did they ask you for money when you came in?" Annan bowed his head, and the bard continued: "Then lie on the edge of the fence and shout that I will redeem myself." ”

"What about you?"

"Leave me alone, my ransom is high."

Following the bard's prompting, Annan went to the bars and shouted outside: "I will redeem myself!" ”

Strange to say, the bard's noise just now didn't attract the Dungeon Guard.

"Ten kinnar."

"Why is it twice as expensive?"

"That's the price for coming in."

"I don't have any money right now, I have to go out before I can give it to you."

The dungeon guards did not suspect it - opened the cell door and escorted Annan out so that the guards could follow him to the hotel to collect the money - but Annan had no money.

In order to enjoy "an authentic adventure in another world", Annan did not even bring money. Asking for help from Olmedo? That would have been laughed at for months......

Annan had no choice but to stop while passing through an alley.

"I have a friend I want to introduce to you." With that, Annan activated the magic ring, easily scared the guards away, and then hurried out of the alley before they called for their companions, returning to the hotel in the cold night.

Bang Bang Bang –

Knocking on the door and shaking woke up the sleeping man, and he ran to pick up the stick before opening the door.

"Uh...... Mr. Francois? ”

The guy almost didn't recognize him, and then covered his nose.

"I fell, please help me prepare a bucket of hot water."

Back in the warm and quiet hotel, Annan also smelled the stench from the tavern and dungeon, and returned to the room to take a shower before he was safe and sound.

Early the next morning, the knight maidens found Annan back.

The knight girl circled around Annan several times, revealing disgust: "The smell of wine and the smell of ......"

Annan asked Joan: "You asked me to find you this morning......"

"Nope!" Joan vented strangely and ran back upstairs.

Annan went out with a carriage in the morning and returned alone in the afternoon, holding a box of yellow mineral powder and a dress.

Hiding in the room and applying mineral powder to the black hair, the reflection in the basin is not the ideal blonde effect, but the original black hair is not visible.

Annan washed her cheeks, changed into her dress, and left Joan and the knight girl stunned when she went out, and rented a carriage to go outside Lady Winter's manor.

"I'm here for the test."

Annan said to register his name at the guards: Olme Shao.
