Episode 88
rattle! rattle!
The Benderford 3rd Student Corps was en route by train.
As if the means of transportation she was riding for the first time seemed strange, Camille also opened her eyes after a long time.
He also seemed to enjoy looking out the window.
“How about it? This is the first magical engineering train introduced. It’s a masterpiece created by the Richter family and the Blue Tower.”
“Except for a few downsides, it’s pretty good. You’ll be able to move a lot of stuff at once, so it’ll save you money on shipping.”
“Yes?”
“I’m going to tell my dad to get out of business.”
“It’s still in the test run phase. There’s only one track going to the eastern part of the country.”
As she said, just because the magic engineering train was introduced, the traders wouldn’t die right away.
However, it was a self-evident fact that there were fewer and fewer places to stand.
Because it is not a competitor in terms of transportation unit price.
‘It’s not even my real identity anyway, so there’s no need to worry.’
All I had to do was enjoy the newspaper to my heart’s content.
Now, there’s no need for my ass to swell to go to the eastern part of the Empire.
To be honest, I couldn’t follow the magic engineering train in terms of riding comfort.
It just makes a lot of noise, and it doesn’t rattle around.
“By the way, tell me more.”
“What?”
“The downside. You stopped talking.”
“Ah, that’s about it, you probably already figured it out? It’s hard to deal with the rapidly changing situation, and the tickets are more expensive than you think. And… there’s a risk of being robbed.”
“That’s an accurate analysis.”
“Look.”
The magic train was a great thing, but the biggest problem was that it was expensive.
Not only the production cost, but also the maintenance cost was staggering.
The Revereas Continent was not easy enough to leave the refined iron masses on the streets undisturbed.
“We had to spend a lot of money to protect the lines.”
“That’s why he chose Marquis of Pennant.”
“Wow! Did you infer that far? You’re much smarter than I thought.”
“Isn’t this normal?”
I spread my hands out like it was nothing, and I was proud.
The reason for the trial run in the east was that the Marquis of Pennant was a representative resort.
It is a place with exotic natural scenery and various things to enjoy, so nobles have no choice but to flock to it.
Even today, the VIP seats on the train are filled with nobles.
“Cool…”
Camille quickly fell asleep, as if the scenery passing by outside the car window had become numb.
Adele and I shrugged and continued our conversation.
Even chatting with a beautiful woman, where is the time to be bored?
“Who are you going to choose anyway?”
“What?”
“There are rumors that the courtship of the princes is endless.”
“Oh, those nuisances? I’m not thinking about it yet.”
“They might become the emperors of a great empire in the future, but they’re a nuisance.”
“He’s a man. Suppose you and Sophia made that courtship. They welcome it with open arms.”
“I’m sorry, but I tend to look at faces.”
“…”
Adele’s candid answer left me speechless.
‘Wow! What is he really saying? What if you just cancel the seven-pointed yeokyong technique? Just say it’s awesome I!’
I screamed desperately inwardly, but I couldn’t put such an irrational number right away.
The disguised identity will be exposed, and the mission given by the family head will be destroyed as it is.
A moment of madness could not have caused such misfortune.
Barely suppressing my desire to reveal the original version, I spoke bluntly with a sneer.
“Anyway, they are pushed out of the succession ranks.
When the political situation in the empire was mentioned, she smiled.
It was like looking at the cute grumbling of a child.
hey! Those are dangerous eyes.
“It’s probably not going to happen. This is confidential. Uisun visited, but there was no improvement.”
Uiseon (醫仙) was a highly prestigious being comparable to Cheonwaesaseong.
He is the only person who can treat not only incurable diseases that cannot be affected by magic or divine power, but also some congenital disabilities.
In the world, it was known that the disease that Uiseon shook his head could not be cured in any way.
‘It means that either Franz or Ellington will become the crown prince in the end.’
I nodded coolly and suddenly moved my gaze to the right.
It was because the sound of wheels rolling came from the hallway.
Dalgrak! Dalgrak!
Then Adele Richter gracefully spread her left hand.
“It’s snack tea. They sell cookies, bread, and drinks. I inspected it myself, so it must taste good.”

Just in time, the flight attendant pushing the snack truck stopped.
rattle!
“May I take your order?”
The door to the room opened and I saw a shelf lined with delicious food.
There were a series of hand gestures to choose freely, but my eyes were fixed on Adele.
“Why are you staring at me like that?”
“I have a question.”
“Yes, feel free to speak.”
“Have you ever bought a grudge?”
“……Yeah?”
At the sudden question, she blinked quickly.
No matter how smart you are, it won’t be easy to understand the question just now.
However, Adele Richter had no choice but to immediately understand what I meant.
A blade popped out of the sleeve of the flight attendant who was setting drinks on the table.
Skan!
“Kyaaak!”
The dagger, which was emitting a blue light, was aimed straight at Adele’s neck.
However, the assassination attempt, which occurred unknowingly, was unsuccessful.
snap!
I naturally reached out and grabbed the flight attendant’s arm.
Although she had learned the Belgard practice method and the blacksmithing sword, Adele Richter had no talent for swords from the start.
I just formally learned the basic level.
It was only natural that they couldn’t properly deal with sharp surprise attacks.
“It’s unlucky. You’re trying to assassinate me in front of me.”
I snorted lightly and looked up at the flight attendant while tightening my grip.
His eyes met for a moment, and his eyes were like empty darkness.
‘It’s the same kind.’
Assassins know how to recognize an assassin.
In his eyes, I felt a terrible sense of camaraderie.
Of course, I had no intention of letting go of interest.
Because the next attack was coming.
thud!
After violently breaking the opponent’s arm, I stabbed the backrest next to Adele’s temple with the dagger I had seized.
Then, to my surprise, a sharp metal sound erupted.

Jjaeng!
The sword strike, which came through the open door just in time, was caught on the tip of the dagger.
In this situation, Adele Richter’s face became almost contemplative.
Who would want to assassinate the only daughter of the second-generation duke of the Empire?
That too, inside the Richter family’s magical engineering train.
“Are these guys really swollen with liver?”
Cagan!
Unfolding the sword, I split the sword that came in from outside the room in one fell swoop.
Then he grabbed the crew member by the collar and threw him out the window.
“aaa!”
It seemed that even an assassin with no emotion in his killing spree was afraid of being thrown off the train.
I turned to the guy who stabbed Adele.
The eyes of the assassin disguised as a passenger were shaking violently.
‘You thought it was the perfect plan. Who the hell would suspect a flight attendant?’
If I hadn’t sat across from her, Adele Richter’s life would have ended today.
Even a knight with considerable training would have been difficult to anticipate such a meticulous assassination.
Besides, it wasn’t just blades that these guys brought with them.
Suaaa!
White smoke billowed out of the snack car along with a strange sound.
It seemed that he was even preparing to poison himself just in case.
The poisonous mist was so powerful that even approaching it was difficult, but I calmly walked forward.
Tuong!
As I pushed the snack car with my foot, smoke hit me.
“Ugh!”
At the same time, a panicked assassin’s voice was heard.
It was because the snack car, which emitted poisonous smoke, was pushing straight along the hallway.
“Gwa, are you okay?”
Adele’s panicked voice came from inside the room.
She, too, noticed that smoke is a poisonous substance.
But I jumped out with a normal face and shut the room door.
“Open the window.”
“ah…….”
Regardless of whether Adele Richter made a complicated expression or not, she left a cool word and immediately turned away.
‘Big! It was a damn cool line.’
A real man style that doesn’t care about solo dancing.
I can’t help but fall for any woman… … .
Isn’t it because the face isn’t a little bit?
As expected, if you follow the instructions, you will only suffer losses.
I’ll set it up to look moderately decent, not too plain.
‘Damn the filial piety bastards.’
I walked forward, swearing at the innocent informants of the Assassins.
I’ve been drinking poison smoke for a long time, but it didn’t work at all for me.
It was because the tears of the goddess were protecting the body from poison.
Of course, even if it wasn’t for this stuff, I could have overcome it enough.
“Looks like you did a good job helping the 3rd prince. Next time I’ll have to get a bigger one.”
The corners of my mouth didn’t come down at the thought of robbing Franz or Ellington.
As he approached with a bright smile, the assassin’s face turned pale.
They seem to think of me as some kind of crazy person.
“That’s crazy. So let’s get hit.”
Tadat!
I immediately jumped over the littered snack car and rushed toward my opponent.
But that was just then.
rattle!
The door to the cabin in front opened wide, and someone jumped out.
Surprised, I hurriedly sprinted and slowed down.
“Yes, you bastards! What kind of safety are you talking about!”
Short stature and fat body.
The person who broke into the hallway was a middle-aged man in a luxurious business suit.
“What is it? You shorty.”
I shot at him bluntly.
The attack was stopped because of this damn human.
Then there was a violent reaction.
“What? Do you know who I am and say such nonsense? I am the faithful confidant of the Earl of Railton, and Viscount Milo, who was even knighted by the Emperor…”
“Okay, so stay inside.”
puck!
I kicked the babbling Milo Mackerel and threw it into the cabin.
“Queuck!”
Then he started chasing the assassin again.
“Doesn’t the poison work?”
The guy chose to run away without asking or questioning.
It seemed that I, who was fine even after being hit head-on, was embarrassed.
However, there was no place to escape from the magic engineering train that was running in full swing.
So, the place the assassin chose was right there.
rattle!
“Hey, is that right now?”
