23 [1-23] Man is a castle, man is a stone wall, man i... (1/2)

In the face of an emergency situation involving an attempted assassination of the Count, Iris (Rene) was forced to suspend her role as Catherine's shadow warrior and take up a combat position as an adventurer.

It was after dark when Benedict returned to the party's living room.

I contacted the Adventurer's Guild about the man we captured, and they informed me immediately. He wasn't a member of Night Python, but he was a well-known assassin. He specializes in sniping with his magic bow.

Benedict's expression was hard.

Benedict's expression hardened, for although he had just barely managed to prevent the assassination, it seemed that Night Python had finally gotten serious.

Benedict's large pawed hand is placed on Iris's head.

It's thanks to Iris. The Count would be dead right now if he hadn't been able to defend himself with his magic. The Count thanked her.

”No, it's really amazing. It's all Iris's fault this time, isn't it?

That's right. I don't know how you were able to protect the Count at that moment.

...... That's what I do.

I'm not sure what the appropriate response would be, so Iris (Rene) tried to be pretentiously humble.

In the event that you're not sure what you're looking for, you'll be able to find a lot more information on the web. I'm really glad I didn't accidentally say ”windshear”.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.

That's right. After all, he's outside the castle.

Yeah. I'm sure we've eliminated the insiders inside the castle, but ...... if you're going to see someone, they know you're out, so that's where the information leaked from.

Are they going to target me just for leaving the castle?

Of course they will.

Iris (Rene) thought that she needed a shadow warrior because she didn't know where a ninja or something like that could get into the castle even if she stayed inside.

However, Benedict and Hugh agreed that it would be extremely difficult to assassinate a family of lords who were holed up in a castle.

”For example, ...... Hugh. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I think it's a good idea.

I think I can, if I prepare perfectly. If you know all the gaps in the security patrols, the routes of entry and exit, and the strength and deployment ...... of the force. But the first step is preparation.

If we don't have any gaps, even if Night Python has a sixth level (elite) user, I don't think they're going to send him in with a chance of death. Because I don't think there are many spares of the same level in Night Python.

That's right. In this country, the sixth grade (elite) bandit (Thief) is ...... even in the surface adventurers, bearded guy and ruins fetishist?

The Teiracaine-woman and man.

I still don't know if he's a man or a woman.

He's a man.

He's a man.

And how old is he?

I'd say he's in his 30s at least.

He looks like he's in his mid-teens. ......

I'm not sure if you've ever heard of it or not, but I'm sure you've heard of it. In the event that you have any kind of questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

He seems to be famous in Ciel-Teira.

I'm not sure what to make of this.

There are three of them in the size of Ciel-Teira, that's enough.

Less is not less. When you get to the sixth grade (elite), it's the realm of innate sense. Effort won't help, and a thief can't cheat with equipment as much as a fighter.

Anyway, you don't want to spend that level of valuable talent on retaliation against a mere lord. The risk is not worth the reward.
