Chapter 5: The Kingdom of Corruption

Noelle turned the junction between his handnail and arm, revealing his small white hand, and the tip of his thumb slashed across the tip of his index finger, and a drop of bright red blood squeezed out of it and dripped onto the mirror.

The mirror surface splashes ripples like the surface of water, and the blood silently melts into it.

There was no movement.

If it is a parasitic monster, the mirror will emit purple light, but there is no reaction after the blood drips in, and the man has seen it for the first time.

The man looked at Noelle suspiciously, the girl's pretty face had a face comparable to that of an elf, and the armor on her body was abnormally delicate, and the armor carefully built by many great nobles on weekdays could not reach this level of fineness, and when he was dripping blood, he also found that the palm of the opponent's hand did not have any calluses that had been sharpened by using weapons for a long time.

"You..."

Before the man's words could be spoken, a white light suddenly appeared on the mirror that had been down for a while.

"Huh~" Nita breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that Noelle was a spy sent by the Demon King Army, after all, she appeared alone before the defense line of the capital, and she was from the 'Knights of Favonius' that she had never heard of at all, how strange it was.

"Gone." Nita dragged Noelle along.

"No," said the man, who was the Demon Inspector, "I'm sorry Miss, you have to test again." ”

"What do you mean!" Nita's temper swelled up and stood in front of Noelle, "There's no problem with the magic mirror detection, what do you want to do?!" ”

"Miss Nita, you can also see that Fang Cai's test is wrong."

Nita tried to argue again, but was held back by Noelle.

"It's okay to try again."

"Thank you for your understanding." The man put the mirror back in front of Noelle.

Another drop of blood fell, and this time the white light in the mirror quickly lit up.

"Can we go now?" Nita clasped her hands to her chest and looked coldly at the Demon Inspector.

The man hesitated for a moment and said, "The members of the original Lion Wolf Tooth Adventure Team can leave, this young lady still needs to wait for a while, and I need to report the abnormality." ”

"You!"

Before Nita could attack, Orton dragged the man to the side, took out a bag of coins from his arms, and shoved them into the man's hand in the shadows.

"It's no problem to detect, she's from the Knights of Favonius, don't make things too ugly."

The man concealed the weight of the coin bag, and recalled the girl's temperament and the armor like a work of art, and finally showed a smile on his face, "Captain Orton, you didn't say it earlier, it turned out to be from the Knights, let's go, let's go, no problem." ”

Orton patted the man's shoulder, waved his hand with a smile, and walked towards the capital with Noelle and the others.

"Captain," Nita muffled, "are you giving money to that greedy guy again?" ”

"Same as last time."

"I knew it!"

Noelle wondered, "Doesn't that Demon Inquisitor seem to be quite dutiful?" ”

"Alas~ If I hadn't been cheated by him once, I would have been the same as you thought." Nita looked disgusted, "The last time Shalina joined the team, he was also used the same means to overshadow him, and he even dared to pit the priests of the temple!" I'm not afraid that the gods will come down and punish him and kill him. ”

"Hahaha~" Fett said with a strange smile: "The kingdom is corrupt from top to bottom, the nobles can not go to the battlefield if they can't go to the battlefield, and if they can't do it, they will be hired, maybe this time the Demon God King will recover, and the kingdom will disappear completely." ”

"The temple won't let the Demon King's army succeed." It wasn't Orton who refuted Fett, but Sarina, which made Noelle vaguely aware of the situation of the kingdom in the world of Go's death.

In this world where monsters are constantly refreshed by the passage of time, the worldview of some games is very similar, and the economy of the coalition revolves around killing the demon king army and hunting monsters, which are then fed back to all walks of life.

Such an economy driven by the hunting of monsters is extremely fragile and could collapse at any time.

'What do I think I'm doing here?' Noelle shook his head.

"There is a second line of defense in front, and then there is an outer city, which is used to detect whether the consciousness has been taken away by the sacrifices in the Demon King's army, but it is not very strict."

Noelle, along with Nita and the others, observed the operation mode of the capital's defense line in a hurry, until he entered the inner city, and the tense atmosphere dissipated in an instant.

There is no lifelessness in the defensive line here, no gloom of the towering walls of the outer city to shield the sun, and there is some prosperity in the human kingdom of another world as far as the eye can see.

"Whew~ I'm finally back."

In Noelle's point of view, Orton, Nita and others visibly relaxed, and the tiredness on their bodies became more obvious.

"Let's go to the Adventurer's Guild first to submit a mission, clean it there, and have a good meal at night." Orton removes his helmet, revealing his trademark uncle's face.

......

The Demon God King recovered, and the Demon King Army continued to advance in the direction of the capital, and at this time, there were also a lot of adventurers in the adventurer's guild in the city.

The hall was noisy like a tavern, and lizardmen, dwarves, witches, and elves could be seen everywhere, and when Orton and the others pushed the door in, their voices remained unabated, except for some acquaintances who greeted Orton and kept looking at Noelle with curious eyes.

Silver-level adventurers are already top-notch combat power in the border town, but they can be seen everywhere in the capital, and many people have silver adventure nameplates around their necks, but there is not a single gold-level adventurer.

Orton and the others walked to the counter and handed in the information they had written in advance in the outer city.

The counter lady was dressed in a guild uniform, with a white undershirt, a dark blue jacket, and a bright yellow silk scarf, about twenty or so, and her face full of collagen had a smile on her face all the time.

"Is it a commission? Please wait," the counter lady apologized after checking it, "This intelligence mission is quite special, we need to send someone to investigate a second time before we can hand over the commission money to your team." ”

"As it should be." Orton nodded, and then turned sideways, exposing Noelle to the counter lady, "This wants to be an adventurer, please help her register." ”

"No problem." The counter lady had a bright smile.

"Your Excellency, let's go next door to clean up first, and then come back in a while, and have dinner together in the evening." Orton was very polite to Noelle.

"Okay."

This scene was seen by the counter lady, the smile on her face remained unchanged, but she was secretly beating the drum in her heart.

How could a veteran adventurer such as Silver be so respectful to a newcomer?

And the girl in front of her, who looks like an elf, is the knight armor on her body... Bit of nonsense?

The delicate lines on the delicate armor must be the proud work of the dwarven master, but... Whose dwarven master would make a half-finished armor? There were parts of the girl's body that were not protected at all, and in the eyes of any adventurer, the armor was extremely substandard, even if it looked like it was from a famous person.

If the apron-style fabric in front of the skirt is removed, the girl's armor is probably not a dress to attend an army banquet.

Could it be the daughter of a great nobleman? Only this kind of identity can drive the dwarven master to temper such a strange work, and can it be treated respectfully by senior adventurers such as silver.

The counter lady, who is good at observing words and feelings, feels that she has guessed the identity of the girl.
