Episode 93 Final Confirmation
"Hua Wuming, take me to find Zuozong's whereabouts"
After explaining what happened to Sajong, Shure seemed to be about to attack, but was stopped by Sergio.
"No, Hua Wuming."
"Why, it's not about Sergio!"
"No, it's there, it's a big deal. Quiet, isn't that the bounty head? In this case, it is the prey of the chariot. We can't leave the group alone, Leos. "
"That's right, I can't let you stab me, I'll kill my prey safely and securely."
"There is no such thing as a statute of limitations in this world."
Once the bounty has been awarded, no matter how many years have passed, there will be no acquittal unless the victim drops the complaint.
Moreover, if a person who registers as an adventurer becomes a bounty, he will no longer be able to work through the guild.
When you register with a guild, you'll need to drip blood and register your magic pattern to verify your identity, so once you've registered, you won't be able to register again with a fake name.
The reason why that seemingly skilled werewolf is working as a bodyguard in the slums is probably because he is on the guild's list of criminals.
"I ran into that werewolf bodyguard when I was taking out Fox. I can't be sure because we didn't fight, but even Leos and Silence will have a hard time killing him unscathed. Hua Wuming, how are you? ”
"yes, I think if you want to kill him safely, it's better not to indulge in one-on-one matches."
Shure, with whom her cousin had a good relationship, was brutally killed, and it is likely that she wants to take revenge with her own hands.
It seems that the chariot is somewhat dissatisfied with the ruins of one side.
"I don't think Miss Lilia wants Shure to get hurt."
"Hua Wuming Okay, the important thing is to avenge Lilia, not to make me sober."
Shure took a deep breath and relaxed his shoulders.
"So, how is the crusade going to be carried out? Leos"
"First of all, we want to confirm that he is registered as a bounty, and that he is Sajong himself."
"If it was Sajong himself, I would know when I saw it."
"By the way, after confirming the guild registration, let's assume that the werewolf is Sazong. Fox, do you know his pattern of behavior? ”
The brother, who was suddenly nominated by Leos, showed a slightly surprised expression, but nodded and began to speak.
"That guy is called Gore in the slums, and it's not uncommon for slums to use fake names, and Gore is also a pseudonym. I don't know what Gore does during the day, but when it's dark for him to come to the slum streets for customers, he stare at the streets about once an hour. I've never seen him take him anywhere and then leave. No one in that town dared to go against Gore. ”
Leos listened to his brother's explanation, nodded, prepared paper and pen, and asked him to draw a simple map of the slums.
"Then I'll come up with a strategy, but I don't know what's going to happen in that location, or what kind of disruption is going to happen, so I'm going to keep the characters simple. The people who attacked Zozon were Shure and Sergio. Me, Gad, and Hua Wuming. Stop the escape
Leos's strategy was extremely simple.
When Sajong went out on patrol, he came out of the alley and walked west along the street, so Leos and Shure ambushed him there.
Once it is confirmed that he is Sajong himself, Shure intervenes, and Leos blocks the way behind him, preparing to escape.
Similarly, Gad would block the east side of the street, and I would use celestial magic to seal off the alleyway.
Sergio and I climbed onto the roof of the warehouse and shot arrows at Sajong from above to support Shure.
"Hua Wuming, can you use the magic that binds the bronze wolf to restrain Zuozun while preventing him from escaping into the alley?"
"Yes, no problem, whether it's an arm, a leg, or a torso, I'll tie it wherever you like."
"Well, start at your waist. Restrict your dominant arm when you can't move from that position. ”
"I got it"
"Aim from the belly down to prevent Cerugio from escaping."
"Leave it to me"
"Slull depends on the terms of the payment of the bonus, but if it doesn't matter if he lives or dies, I don't mind killing him."
"I'll do my best."
The strategy indicated by Leos was to guarantee the maximum possible safety and then let Shure deliver the final blow.
If you don't mind if I end it, there are many ways, such as death suffocation, powerful lightning magic array, and powerful smashing magic array.
However, since he is Shure's cousin's enemy, it is Shure's duty to guide him.
"Laius, when are you going to do it?"
"You can't wait too long, can you?"
"Of course, I'll go to the guild to confirm, and tonight will be fine."
"No, wait a minute, be quiet, Hua Wuming did a good job yesterday, the situation in the shantytown is likely to have changed, I can determine it after scouting."
The area near the exit of the loophole was blown away by the Shattered Magic Circle, so the situation in the slum may have changed as Sergio said.
It would be better to confirm that the person who appeared to be Sajong was acting the same as before.
"Hua Wuming"
"Got it, I'm going out scouting tonight."
"Don't get distracted. Let silence teach you the tricks. ”
"It's okay if I go with you, I won't get ahead."
"Yes, then let's go and see if it's Sajong himself."
Leos paused, looked around at the members, and spoke.
"The celebration of Hua Wuming's promotion will be handed over to you first, and after subduing Zuozong, let's make a big deal. It's up to us to decide on tonight's scouting, but you'll have to be ready tomorrow night. ”
After the meeting, Shure and Sergio go to the guild to see if Sajong has been registered as a bounty.
It seems that after what happened thirteen years ago, Zuo Zong still continued to commit crimes, and the bounty was ten gold coins, and it was a matter of life and death if he was caught.
Sergio also confirmed the wanted list distributed to the guild, and it appears that the characteristics of the comic match the appearance of the ghetto bodyguard Gore.
Now all that's left is to make sure that Sajong aka Gor, the bodyguard, is still patrolling the slums.
When I told Shure, who had returned from the guild, that he had noticed me on the roof when I first met Sajong, he had told me how to be vigilant.
"The most important thing is not to stare at the object of surveillance, not just at the target, to see it as part of the landscape."
It seems that people who are proficient in martial arts can feel their gaze when they gaze intently.
"I can't do it, but I guess it's like feeling a kind of murder."
I was told that it was quicker to put into practice than to say it, so I decided to watch Schuler walk in the front yard from the roof of the base, but things didn't go as expected.
First, Schuller realized that I was looking at him and that he was hindered by only one eye.
Since I can only see with my right eye, I got into the habit of staring at the target in a narrow field of view and trying not to mistake the distance.
We practiced until the evening, but since our scorched knife technique risked being noticed by Sajong, I was just a guide, and Shure was in charge of scouting.
"Everyone has what they are not good at, Hua Wuming has an obstacle in one eye, so there is no way. As long as you don't rush to practice, Hua Wuming can do it."
Schuller comforted me with this, but I was a little depressed that things didn't go as planned, because I had achieved more than I expected in conquering the orcs here, exterminating the rats as required, and attacking the school.
However, in order to keep my younger brother, who is in a difficult situation, from losing motivation, let's try to overcome this obstacle with chess pieces.
After dinner, I changed into black and headed to the warehouse area with Schuler.
In the deserted alleys, I scaffolded the school and climbed onto the roof.
"You don't need a ladder, you can climb anywhere Hua Wuming, super talented."
"We have to overcome the shortcomings of surveillance."
"Don't worry, I'll teach you a good lesson in exchange, and I'll be a pillow for tuition"
"If it's a pillow, it's a brother"
"No, Fawkes' fur isn't good enough."
Shure didn't make any noise as he walked across the roof of the warehouse, even though he was babbling gibberish.
When I crouched a little further away from where I had been found before and started watching, the signs of Shuler were gone.
Despite their close proximity, it was as if they were all looking at their shadows, deliberately weakening their sense of existence as creatures.
Not only does he have to control his gaze, but he also has to control his breathing and even his pulse.
Looking at the slum at night from the rooftop, nothing seems to have changed since the attack.
"If anything, there's no Big Brother waiting for customers."
Then, about twenty minutes later, a werewolf bodyguard came out of the alley.
As we discussed beforehand, I hid behind the roof, and only Shure continued to watch.
"There is no doubt about Sajong."
Even after confirming his cousin's revenge, Schuller was no longer distraught.
After confirming that Sajong would continue to patrol at the same pace as before, I returned to the base.
