Chapter 128 – 6-Academy (66)
The place we entered was dusty but quite sophisticated.
There were luxurious chairs and tables, and even a floor made of stone that was kept flat, perhaps having been pushed down at the end of the room.
Even just looking at it, it was obvious how much effort was put into making this place, and the magic items scattered around such a place made it easy to know what this place was made for.
In response, I blew away the dust with my magical power and asked Rubel.
“Looks like it was made into a magic lab a long time ago… How old were you when you made it? It’s really high quality, right?”
“Hmm… Well? Maybe it’s something I made when I was 10! Maybe!”
“…I knew that my sister was a genius from before, but this is…”
[Hey… After all, humans are amazing, and the overall level is low, but some extraordinary strong people are born to protect humans!]
Ruri shook her head and let out a sigh as if she was thrilled by Rubel’s words, and Senia and Mist stood on either side of me as always, hugging my arms and exclaiming in admiration.
Darkness, on the other hand, spoke about humans from their own point of view, while admiring lightly.
“As expected, Artel oppa chose him, and he’s amazing!”
“To be greedy for such a person, the owner is greedy!”
I smiled at the cute complaints of the two and looked around at the other kids while patting their heads.
Rubel and Ruri were still bickering while Russell closed her eyes and thought about something seriously.
And Squall, Hati, and Shuri were just looking around and talking among themselves.
So I first sat down at the table, looked around at the kids, tapped the table and made some noise to catch their eyes, then looked at the kids and said.
“First of all, we have to decide where to infiltrate, so everyone gather here.”
As I said that, I laid down on the chair, and the children followed me one by one and sat down on the chair.
“First of all, we absolutely need information, and in order to obtain information, we must first find a place to get that information. First of all, the information we need is largely the current situation of the territory, the situation of demons, and the location of those demons. Lastly, people who are disappearing. It’s about”
As the Certina family is a prestigious family, there are many people living there, but about half of them are trash or criminals such as beggars and robbers.
And today, when I entered Certina’s territory, I used my abilities to thoroughly detect the surrounding area, but I didn’t see any gangsters or beggars.
As if someone had cleaned it up.
And seeing this as dangerous, I relentlessly asked the two of them, Ruri and Rubel.
This is an important matter related to the devil, and it is because you can surely kill the head of the Certina family by obtaining clues about the biological experiment.
“There were no beggars like this in your estate in the first place? Or, Rubel, do you know anything?”
“No… Originally, there weren’t too many beggars or criminals, but not too few.”
“Yeah, like you said, there are so many beggars here that they used to beg every time I came? Really annoying!”
According to Ruri and Rubel, as expected, this estate seemed to be overflowing with beggar-like trash.
However, their appearances, which have now disappeared without any trace, as if they never existed, made only one guess possible.
In response, I murmured in a low voice without even realizing it.
“I’m sure they’re dragoons? In this situation, they’re all forced dragoons, right? Or they’ve been consumed by a voodoo ritual… No, a demonic ritual…”
[Hmm, I don’t know what a dragoon is, but I feel bad because it reminds me of fanaticism. It’s really bad. I just got goosebumps! And sprouted!!]
I can’t refute the word fanatic, but I think the dragoons here are probably at the level of corpse remnants or miscellaneous mobs.
“But oppa, what is a dragoon soldier? Is it dangerous?”
“Dragon… Cavalry? Is it related to dragons?”
I muttered in a low voice, but Senia and Mist, who were nearby, seemed to have heard, and their eyes began to shine as if they were curious as they pressed close to my body.
But now, there is something more important than that, so I pushed the heads of the two away and looked at Ruri and Rubel and asked a question.
It was judged that it was dangerous to decide on my own since this was not the Shine family’s territory and I did not know this territory in detail.
That’s why I decided to ask Ruri and Rubel, who were from this place, about the place, and opened my mouth.
“Then, let’s get to grips with the demons’ situation! So, where do you think is the best place to get information?”
“Hmm… It’s information, so wouldn’t it be okay to just go in and steal everything?”
As expected, Rubel gave an answer that broke her common sense.
I was sure we were going to infiltrate, but proudly saying let’s just break it in… Really…
“It’s just before it’s okay? Let’s use this later on the last day. Exactly 7 days later!”
Why 5 days later? Whether you get information or not, you’ll just rush to the manor house of your parents’ house, so you’d better pray for information quickly.
However, there were also people who did not understand the conversation between Rubel and I, so the most representative was Ruri.
On the other hand, everyone else nodded as if they understood, so I kindly explained to Ruri.
1. To charge
2. Make a mess.
3. Get information. (Documents or hostages don’t matter)
4. Kill all witnesses.
5. Splash.
6. Assassination accomplished! Information acquired!
“Did you understand? I specifically explained it by dividing it into 7 parts.”
“…Let me stop understanding.”
Haha! What is an assassination because there are no witnesses? That absurd thing!]
“Huh? It’s simple. If you kill all the witnesses, there are no witnesses, and if there are no witnesses, it’s an assassination, right?”
[…So you were really thinking that way]
Darkness’ tired tone and Luri’s abandoned face created a fantastic harmony, but Luri managed to open her mouth.
“Whoa… Once you infiltrate, I recommend the magic tower inside the Certina family’s territory, the military base related to the soldiers in charge of maintaining public order, and finally the secret space of the lord’s castle, which is prohibited from entering the outside world.”
“Oh… It’s surprising to hear that the castle is a secret space, but we plan to rob the castle later, so let’s find out the surrounding geography and related people today and infiltrate it tomorrow.”
I said that and got up from my seat, and the children began to scatter among themselves.
After looking around at those kids for a while, I called Senia.
“Senia will go out for a while and then she will come, so if something happens, she will call right away. And Rubel, when I go out, strengthen and reinforce the magic here.”
“Yes, I understand. Brother!”
“Oh! Leave it to me, dear friend!”
[Ho-ho-ho… Let me go too!]
At my words, both of them shouted lively, and Darkness, as if he had noticed where I was going, said with a gentle smile.
At this, I smiled once and then moved back to the alley outside.
The infiltration is scheduled to be implemented tomorrow, but first of all, basic information and identity can be said to be important, and among the information, there are three methods of collecting the most important and valuable information.
The adventurers’ guild, the mercenary’s guild, and the prostitutes are just that.
Of course, the prostitutes I’m talking about are not low-level prostitutes who are not even clean, but the highest-class prostitutes supported by each territory.
“Whoa… Then let’s go to the adventurer’s guild first!”
[Oh oh! Let’s go!]
I moved to get out of the alley with light steps.
It was a complicated alleyway that was tangled here and there, but I didn’t get confused in the slightest using my sensing ability, and thanks to that, I was able to get out of the market in less than 30 minutes.
There was still a lot of chatter and solicitation going on, and at the same time, a lot of people were passing by.
There was a man wearing armor and holding a sword in his hand, presumably an adventurer.
And there were a man with a bow in his hand, a woman who seemed to be a colleague who was also very snarky, and a neatly dressed male wizard.
In addition, there were countless adventurers and people presumed to be mercenaries with blood on their bodies.
“It’s surprising to think that there are so many mercenaries and adventurers in this place, a prestigious magical family…”
[By the way, most of those who are adventurers or mercenaries are too low even if the level is low]
“Huh? Of course, most of them are adventurers and mercenaries, but most of them are losers or trash anyway, and most of the talented people end up going to knights or other places!”
[Yes? Why are you falling for articles or other places?]
“What are you saying for granted? It’s more money and more honor to work as a knight than as an adventurer or mercenary. That’s why the only people who work as mercenaries or adventurers for a long time are scumbags with no talent!”
When I said that calmly, Darkness smiled and nodded as if she understood, and we arrived at the shabby adventurer’s guild while talking.
