After Nue ate for a while, the air shook and seemed to fall from the sky.
"Oh, oh, oh, we are all minions with no information at all. We only know that they are from the emerging assassination organization Ijenia, which was established more than a year ago. Do you have any important people here?" A voice sounded out of thin air from the side.
Star's voice.
Star can't become invisible. Sunny should have helped her do this.
Nue's mouth was still filled with fragments of the assassin's flesh and bones, and he could not utter a complete sentence. He pointed with his fingers and was still hanging. His legs were stripped clean by the sickle tentacles, and only half of his lower body was left.
Bone man.
It's incredible that he's not dead yet, but his HP is obviously about to bottom out.
Star raised his hands and stood there without moving. After a while, the surroundings became quiet, and Nue thought that maybe Luna had come nearby and started to take action.
"[Regenerator], okay, get up, get up!" Star threw a healing spell at the assassin captain, and then kicked his legs that were starting to be covered with sprouts and regenerated.
.
"Huh?!" The assassin captain was awakened by this strong contrast in feelings. He knew that a new round of torture and confession was about to begin, and he was immediately ready to bite his tongue.
"[Charm species]! Are you the Ijenia organization?"
"Yes."
"Just because your strength, which is almost silver-level at a glance, is allowed to be assassinated? Does that mean you are spying on someone's abandoned son?" Star continued to ask.
"There is no explanation above, but I think so."
"Who hired you?"
"have no idea."
"Why? I don't know how employers negotiate and negotiate remuneration?"
"I will take orders from above."
"What's up there."
"have no idea!"
"Change the question: Where is it up there?"
The assassin captain told an address that the goblins had never heard of. Star first took out a small notebook and wrote down the various words he had learned in turn, then unfolded it for the assassin captain to read: "From top to bottom."
Next, which one is it?"
"the second."
"Is it the imperial script? It's a little-known place in the empire, or a place nearby that also uses the imperial script. But it saves a lot of trouble if it's in or near the country. I should be fine for the time being tonight, let's go.
"Star closed the small notebook and put it into the small satchel.
"I said, it seems that you didn't discuss the whole series just now?" Nue said blankly.
"This kind of thing - just rely on friendship and trust that your companions will handle everything." Star put on a pretentiously passionate pose.
"Who believes it?"
"You're kidding, we have similar experiences in the mountains and hills. And that bunch of people - send them to Granbell and then to the Imperial Ministry of Magic as experimental materials. Didn't I hear that at the previous dinner?
Is the quality of the undead also related to the mental state during life? Experimental materials for this special profession must be difficult to come by."
"Then, isn't it exposed that they didn't go back? Should we try to find out the location as soon as possible and kill them?"
"No, when you send the body, let me mention it to the Varud family. These people want to snipe the carriage of the Earl's family and the third male butler of the Marquis in the empire. Death penalty... No, behead the whole family! Kill the nine tribes! [Intermediate magic]
Seal · Fire Ball [middle magic seal · fire ball]]!”
The surface of the arrow glowed with magical power for a moment. This arrow was originally enchanted with the effect of penetrating armor. Now, this arrow has turned into an "armor-piercing grenade" that will explode horribly.
"Mr. Coachman, the third butler of Marquis Robert Bardo's family, your skills seem to be quite good. I wish you good luck." After saying that, Star picked up the crossbow that fell on the ground, pointed it in the direction of the carriage, and did not move for a moment.
, and then sneered, "Excuse me...how to aim this?"
"Pfft!" Nue almost laughed.
"I don't know! It's invisible and attacks at close range." Sunny nearby complained silently.
"Forget it, I learned a little bit about weapons in the dwarf country, so I'll go." Luna, who was responsible for soundproofing the torture, came over, took the crossbow, and ran in the direction where the carriage left.
"Do you want to eat this person?" Nue asked, pointing to the hanging person.
"What's wrong?"
"I was just wondering if I should cure him completely and do a real assassination or something."
"Nu, you are so stupid." Star said with disdain, "The assassination organization is just a thug. If the assassination is really carried out, if the real mastermind has a say, he will take the opportunity to throw the blame, right?"
"Boom!" At this time, the raging firelight on the street illuminated the dark night.
……………………………………………………
The next morning——
After a good sleep, her mental state seemed to have returned to normal. She opened the door slightly from the inside of the house and poked her head around for a while.
Occasionally, a small group of patrols passed by on the street, but there were obviously many times more than usual.
The presence of more guards made her feel relieved, and her sense of security improved a little. She walked out of the courtyard and set foot on the road to the Magic Academy.
She had no intention of riding in a carriage. Even a small noble would have a carriage available. However, most of the people in the college were nobles. If everyone rode in a carriage, there would be a traffic jam at the entrance of the college for a whole day.
Therefore, even though there is no explicit regulation, since the academy was first established and stuck in traffic for a week, more and more people used other ways to go to school.
There were a lot of people riding horses, and there was a place for tying horses in the college, but Melphis didn't know how to ride a horse, and it wasn't her turn to ride one at home.
Considering the walking distance, Melissa had to get up earlier and go out.
Who would have thought, just after walking out of the courtyard——
"Good morning, Merriface." Crounpiss, who was leaning against the fence, stretched out her hand to say hello.
"Yeah? Ah, good morning, can you not be scary? Sir Klaus."
"I'm just saying hello normally."
"But until the moment before, that spot was unoccupied! Is it the invisibility magic?"
"It's better to say that the way you acted like a thief when you went out just now is suspicious."
"There's nothing you can do about it! Not long after I entered the house last night, there seemed to be an attack on a nearby street. Could it be the carriage we were riding in? Who else was targeting you?"
"Who knows?" Crownpis spread his hands, "Maybe he is looking for trouble with Count Gucimont. Maybe he is targeting you, but he just missed the time. Vicious competition between noble geniuses.
It’s not impossible that it doesn’t exist.”
"Huh, let's just treat it like this, but even if I eat that thing, you still care about me so much? Hehe."
"What's going on?" Crownpiss raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, "Why did you become so rude after a night? Shouldn't you have been nice to me? What went wrong?"
