On the outskirts of the capital…
Merchants from other regions were heading to the Imperial Capital to trade. They were driving a carriage loaded with a large amount of goods on the small road leading to the Imperial Capital. Suddenly, the coachman who was driving the carriage felt the ground shake. A large Peril Species crawled out from the ground on the small road in front of the carriage.
"... Earth... It's an Earth Dragon!" The Merchant cried out in horror as he stared blankly at the large Peril Species blocking his way.
" I've never heard of such a dangerous species appearing on such a street…Hurry up and run…" The coachman who pulled the carriage quickly jumped down from the carriage and quickly pulled the merchant who was still in a daze. He turned around and ran.
The large Peril Species known as the Earth Dragon tore the horse pulling the carriage into two halves and swallowed them. It turned around and quickly chased after the two humans who were escaping. At this moment, a figure appeared in front of the two humans and the beast.
"Getting rid of evil for the people and making my name known is like killing two birds with one stone!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man pulled out the iron sword hanging on his back and slashed between the two people in front of him. The iron sword blocked the Earth Dragon's fatal blow that was about to hit the merchant.
" A Level 1 Peril Species, the Earth Dragon…It's not enough to be an opponent…" The young man smiled as he looked at the furious, large-sized Peril Species, the Earth Dragon.
" Roar!" The Earthen Dragon roared in anger. It raised its huge claws and launched a fierce attack at the youth.
"Aiyo! " You're angry…" The young man kept avoiding the attacks of the giant claws and rushed to the front of the Earth Dragon to hold the Iron Sword." It's over!”
The young man, who had been charging for a long time, suddenly jumped up and used all his strength. He slashed the neck of the Level 1 Danger Species, the Earth Dragon, with his sword. When he landed on the ground, he even made a very arrogant posture. The Earth Dragon was not only sprayed with blood where the iron sword slashed, but it also fell to the ground and died.
"So…so powerful…so powerful, young man!”Merchant A cheered.
"I didn't expect you to kill the Peril Zerg alone…!”Merchant B was shocked.
The two merchants who had been saved ran to the young man's side and praised his benefactor without hesitation. He did not expect the young man in front of him to take care of this Level 1 Large Peril Earth Dragon so easily.
"Is there a need to say that…As long as you encounter me, no matter what kind of monster you are, you will only suffer a crushing defeat!! By the way, my name is Tazmi! This will be a well-known name in the capital in the future. I suggest that you all remember it well!!”Tazmi heard the two strangers praising him non-stop, and he gradually got carried away and started to brag to them.
"Don't tell me you want to make a name for yourself in the capital?”Merchant A asked when he saw that the young man had finally finished speaking.
"If so, I advise you to return to your hometown! " The Imperial City…is not the paradise you think it is…Although it is lively, there are monsters that are even more ferocious than this Earth Dragon…" Merchant B said with a dark face.
"What…Are there dangerous species everywhere on the streets?”Tazmi kept imagining what kind of monster would appear in the Imperial Capital. This would be his chance to become famous. He naively asked the merchant.
"It's a human! " He's wearing human skin, but his heart is no different from a monster... That kind of guy... is everywhere..." Merchant B wanted to shout at the innocent young man who had saved them.
"Since I'm very grateful for your advice, I can't just go home since I'm already here!! I have to earn money in the capital to save the village!”
Tazmi bid farewell to the two strangers he had saved. He did not take their conversation to heart at all, thinking that they were joking with him. He continued to move forward to the Imperial City not far away.
After a short while, Tazmi finally arrived at the entrance to the Imperial City. However, he did not notice two beautiful women who were holding portraits in the dark and watching him carefully compare them.
"That? Did Milord find him?" Beauty A took the portrait and compared it several times, but she was still unsure. She asked her companion beside her.
"Stop looking, it must be him! Hurry up and go back and tell Milord!" Another beauty B replied, putting away the portrait and preparing to leave.
In the blink of an eye, the two women disappeared into the darkness. Tazmi had no idea that he was being watched. He was still shocked by the new and luxurious things he saw like a country bumpkin entering the city. But then again, he was from the countryside.
Inside the mansion…
The two women who were observing Tazmi had already returned to the mansion to report to the people who were sitting leisurely.
"Lord Noelle, the person in the portrait has just entered the Imperial City!”She was one of the beauties. She was now kneeling on one knee in front of Noelle with a slightly red face and reporting the situation.
"Lord Noelle, do you need to follow him?”Another member of the Beauty Legion also asked with a red face.
"Is that so? You two have done well. Continue to follow them and report to me when you come back!”Noelle sat on the sofa and said to the two members of the beauty army.
"This is what we should do. Let's follow him now!”With that, they heard their general's praise and quickly disappeared from the mansion with smiles on their faces.
"Shayou, it seems that the portrait you drew is real.”Noelle smiled and looked at Shayou, who was serving him. It was precisely because of the two of them that he blushed.
"Of course, how could I dare to lie to Master!”Hearing this, Shayou, who was serving Noelle, raised her head and said. She knew that if she didn't listen, she would be locked back in the dark room and continue all kinds of teachings that would make her blush and her heart race.
After being kidnapped and brought back, Shayou finally chose to surrender after a few days of teaching. Whether it was her mind or her body, she had already obediently surrendered. However, no one knew if she would attack Tazmi if she met him.
"However, what surprised me was that you and that Eliyas arrived at the Imperial Capital the day after the attack, but he arrived almost a week later than you. Could he be the legendary direction idiot?”Noelle was a little puzzled. Why was the pig's trotter so stupid? Then why had he only just arrived in Hillford?
"Master, Tazmi has no sense of direction, and the map to the Imperial City was with me!”Hearing Noelle's question, Sha You immediately answered it.
"That doesn't matter! After waiting for so long, was it finally about to begin?”Noelle said with a smile. After all, he had waited for so long. The so-called plot was finally about to begin. It was inevitable that he would be a little excited.
After all, when Noelle had nothing to do, he had also tried to find the hidden hideout of the Night Raid Assassin Group. However, he did not know if it was because of the butterfly effect. He had searched the mountains around the Imperial City, but he did not even see the ghost of the Night Raid. They were still carrying out assassination activities in the Imperial City.
It was not realistic to wait for them to come and assassinate him. Ever since some assassins were beheaded in public, no one dared to come to Noelle's huge mansion to die. This also let the members of the Night Raid Assassin Group know that the guards in the mansion were strong, so they would not easily come and assassinate him.
However, with the arrival of the original pig trotters, the plot was about to unfold. After he joined the Night Raid, the whereabouts of the Night Raid Assassin Group could be roughly inferred according to the plot.
What Noelle needed to do now was to wait patiently. After all, he had already waited for three years. He did not mind waiting a few more days. Shayou was also in his hands. Tazmi would come to him sooner or later.
