I sighed inwardly and looked into the gaps of the bookshelf once more, then turned around.
If I get a chance later, I’ll just come back and check it out.
There was no reason to organize the removed books, so I left them as they were and headed down the stairs to the first floor.
Now that all the chores are over, I go out the window again and try to get out of the library…
“······································································!
I quickly backed off the stairs and hid behind a nearby bookshelf.
The stairs leading down to the first floor were located right opposite the front door of the library, because the door suddenly opened and someone came in.
【Lv. 46]
‘······student?’
The person who entered the library was a man dressed as an academy student.
A woman with blonde hair, golden eyes, and a strangely classical atmosphere.
The librarian who had been dozing off suddenly woke up and looked at her, checked the time, and opened his mouth with a cautious look.
“Now is the time to ban the entrance, but….”
The woman nodded her head and spoke politely.
“I would like to ask you for a moment today. I will leave the room before 10 o’clock.”
“····················Oh I get it. This is a spare key, so please return it on time tomorrow.”
And the librarian made sure that all the windows on the first floor were closed, and then went outside.
The woman left alone soon approached one of the bookshelves and began to look through the books.
Hiding between the bookshelves on the second floor, I narrowed my brow as I looked at her preoccupied with reading.
‘What else, really….’
I was standing on a bookshelf located near the stairs, so it became difficult to sneak down.
There was no need to take any risks, so I decided to just wait. It seems like they leave before 10 o’clock.
gracious. gracious.
In the stillness of silence, only the sound of turning the pages of a book resonated inside the library.
It was when the woman was quietly silenced, waiting for the woman to leave.
“There, you bastard on the second floor.”
I was startled by the sudden sound of a woman’s voice.
She closed the book slowly and looked up at the second floor.
“Now that you’ve been caught, come out. Are you an assassin who came to harm your real woman?”
Matthew Assassination (1)
I didn’t know that I would be caught, so I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed for a moment.
The figure of a woman looking up coldly through the cracks in the books caught my eye.
‘·······But the real woman?’
Didn’t you just clearly say that?
Isn’t that a title used only when the royal family or the imperial family refer to themselves?
In the silence, I stared at the woman’s face and then opened my eyes wide.
Because he seemed to know what her true identity was.
‘The Seven Princesses Armia.’
The bloodline of Emperor Grandios, the 7th princess of the Seinthea imperial family.
It wasn’t difficult to realize.
Because she was the only woman among the emperor’s children who would be attending the academy at this point.
She was also a character who occupies a fairly large proportion among the emperor’s children in the main story.
I had no choice but to think that it was a very intricate coincidence.
‘No, more than that….’
So what?
It seems that they misunderstood me as an assassin, but the situation has become quite difficult.
Do you have to jump to the front of the window with space leap and then escape right away? It’s difficult to avoid the commotion no matter what.
“Didn’t you say that you were already caught? If you’re going to keep hiding like that…”
When I didn’t show up, she raised her magic power.
Inevitably, it was the moment when I wanted to use the space leap toward the window on the first floor.
“···········?”
At that moment, I felt another sign from the window.
Tickle!
I wanted something else, but the window suddenly opened and someone wearing a black robe came in.
The 7th Princess was also startled and turned her gaze to the new intruder.
【Lv. 53]
The figure in the robe, who immediately drew the sword, rushed towards the 7th Princess.
I looked at the scene with bewildered eyes.
‘What else is he?’
Are you a real assassin this time?
The princess, who hastily raised her magical powers, performed her magic. Blue-colored magic bullets were fired at the assassin in clusters.
Kwagwagwang!
Missing magic bullets broke the walls of the library with a roar.
The assassin, who lightly evaded the attack, approached the princess in an instant.
The princess spread the shield, but was shattered at once by the assassin’s sword attack. Her body fell backwards in shock.
“eww······!”
It was the moment when the assassin’s sword was about to fall on the princess’s neck.
After teleporting between the two, I opened a floating curtain to block the attack.
The eyes above the assassin’s mask opened wide. With a look of surprise, he pulled back his sword and stepped back.
After I removed the veil, I straightened out the blood skill and spit out the blood. He could not escape and died instantly.
“············”.
He glanced at the assassin who had fallen on the floor, then turned his head backwards.
The princess sitting on the floor was looking up at me with a puzzled face.
After making eye contact with her for a moment, I turned my gaze away and walked towards the window. Because I could feel the presence of people gathering around the library.
“Wait a minute······.”
I heard the princess’s voice, but I ignored it and hurriedly ran outside.
***
The door to the library opened and people rushed in.
It was the guards and some staff who came to hear the commotion.
“What is this!”
When they found the 7th Princess Armia and the dead assassin sitting on the floor, they were startled and approached.
Armia looked at them and then shifted her gaze.
A mysterious person hiding on the second floor.
Naturally he thought he was an assassin, but he saved his life by preventing another assassin from suddenly appearing.
Then, as if it had just appeared suddenly, it suddenly evaporated and disappeared.
“········Can’t understand English.”
Who the hell was that?
She looked at the place where the man had disappeared with confused eyes.
There was only the moonlight coming in through the open windows.
***
I safely escaped the academy and returned to the inn.
‘Everything really happens.’
It’s not enough to meet the 7th Princess out of nowhere, and you’ll even see the scene where she is being attacked. It had to be bizarre.
Saving her was more of a reflex action.
It was about to be killed by an assassin right before my eyes, and that’s why I was just watching it.
And since the 7th Princess was a character close to an ally in the main story, she didn’t do anything in vain.
Anyway, the chores were all over, so I immediately prepared to leave the city.
Even if the day is bright and you leave, there will be no problem, but there must have been a commotion inside the academy already, so it was just because it felt uncomfortable.
I quickly got out of the city with Ashel and went to the place where I had left Tillong.
The guy who was crouching in the middle of the forest saw me and approached me with a happy expression.
“Let’s take a break and go right away.”
“Yes.”
I closed my eyes for a while until dawn and decided to leave immediately.
I leaned my back against T-yong’s body and closed my eyes while half lying down.
It was a bright day and we headed straight for our next destination.
Our next destination is the city of Gadret, where the Flaberos mausoleum is located.
Unfortunately, it was all in vain, but anyway, the mystery search was over, and now it was time to solve the assassination of the overlord entrusted to him.
‘How should I deal with him?’
Ankh Gainera, the mage of Flaveros.
A few years later, he was level 90, so it would be the same or lower than he is now. I thought it might be the same.
To be honest, simply killing it wasn’t a difficult problem.
At level 90, even though he was a mage who could be picky about his shield, I also had Ashel in my power.
Now that Ashel has grown to level 90, there would be no difficulty if she joins the battle.
However, simply killing is not a matter of being a jerk, but killing without causing a fuss. That was the part that was difficult.
‘Still, there are no plans at all.’
This is because the information that the overlord gave him also had an approximate life pattern for the master mato.
Of course, it was impossible to kill the guy inside the tower.
So, I was planning to take care of the time when the master of the tower comes out of the tower. It’s even better if you go out of town.
For that reason, he would have to contact an informant who said he was infiltrating the horse tower over there.
Because there was only one way to receive real-time location information of the Master Ma Thap.
‘It’s a matter of how long it will take.’
Not knowing when he will come out of the tower, it may take a considerable amount of time.
The problem of finding a successor was also troublesome if it continued to be delayed, so I hoped I could finish this work as quickly as possible.
Gadret was a city located west of Seinthea, so it was quite a distance from here.
After such a long time, we almost arrived at our destination after moving non-stop.
‘I see you there.’
I looked at the city of Gadret, which had begun to appear in the distance.
Flaberos Tower was so huge that it could be seen along with the city from afar, in the middle of the city.
This time, it was time to slow down his flight speed because he had to leave the thief nearby and enter the city.
“···········?”
A presence felt from afar. It is the foundation of battle.
‘what?’
What’s the fuss in the middle of the night like this?
I could just ignore it, but I couldn’t help but be curious.
I turned the direction of Tiyong there, raising my super senses.
***
Magical lights that illuminate the dark forest.
A woman and her pursuers are crossing a forest road.
The woman’s body was full of spears. Half of the blood covered in blood belonged to the pursuers she had killed, the other half belonged to her own.
Aww!
The woman, who leaned on her side, again avoided the lightning that flew from the rear. The ground exploded in the shock wave, and trees around it fell down.
Even if she collapsed right away, she was still running away, barely avoiding the magic that came without mercy.
The woman took a rough breath and glanced back at the persistent pursuers.
The woman’s name is Serun.
He was an informant of Calderic who had been infiltrating as a spy for a long time in the tower of Flaberos in Seintea under the orders of the overlord.
The reason she is currently being chased is because she recently discovered information about the research on demons that the master of magic was secretly conducting.
There was one mistake.
He underestimated Matapju, Ankh Gainera and his closest aides.
They were quicker and more meticulous than expected. So, in the end, there was no doubt.
Even though he was convinced that he had earned great trust by serving them around as faithful assistants over the past few years.
In the end, a very small pod was caught and his identity was revealed, and he was thrown into a crisis like this.
But Serun hasn’t given up yet.
She, too, was a worn-out, seasoned informant, so it wasn’t too late to notice.
The master mate has not yet stepped in himself. It was not impossible to escape if only the pursuers who were chasing after them solved it somehow.
‘Three, five, nine….’
Didn’t the number of heads add up?
After reconfirming the number of pursuers chasing after her, she took her breath as much as possible and prepared for battle.
It was impossible to completely get rid of them just by running away. Even in a crowd, I had to get rid of it completely.
grasp!
The new model of Serun, who suddenly turned in a direction, was shot like an island war towards the closest pursuer.
Unable to respond to the surprise, one person’s neck was blown off. The other pursuers around were surprised and prepared their magic.
Kwagwagwagwang!
Serun squeezed magical energy with her body pushed to the limit. After passing through the concentrated fire, he succeeded in decapitating two more pursuers. Six left.
While dodging the flame cannons fired from the side without a moment’s rest, magic unfolded in her hands. The magic power condensed into a single point was shot in the form of a solid line, breaking through the shield and killing another pursuer.
‘······little bit more!’
The pursuers left behind by their colleagues who died in the blink of an eye could not maintain their posture.
It was the time when Serun was not missing the gap and was about to burn all the remaining stamina and magic power to increase the number of wins.
Whoa!
Suddenly, the pressure on her body shoved her to her knees, letting out a moan mixed with pain.
