"I advise you to stay in the tavern. Don't forget that you're still on the wanted list of Mond City.”
"Alright then." Wendy was not disappointed. Although he wanted to go out with us, it seemed to be a better choice if he could stay in the tavern and drink for free.
"This is for you." Dyluk took out some black eye masks and handed them to us.
"What is this?" asked Paimon curiously.”
We took the blindfold from Diluck and put it on, and Paimon followed suit.
"It's a disguise used to hide your identity. Put it on before you meet the 'Fools'.”Diluck's voice was still cold."[The Fools] are still Mond's…annoying foreign allies. We're here to cause trouble for them, so don't let yourself get into unnecessary trouble.”
However, it seemed that it was easy for him to be recognized even if he did not wear it…Unless the other party was really stupid…
Following Dyluk, we arrived at the camp of the Fools. After passing through a few traps, we saw a group of stupid guards.
The moment the guards saw us, they retreated in fear."" Waaah…Don't eat me! Uh, you…are humans? An entire layer of defense…has been broken through…I thought the monsters of the Abyss Church had attacked…"
Facing this frightened guard, Ying said directly,""We are here to take the Zither of the Sky.”
It seemed that when people were in extreme panic, they would subconsciously say some information. Facing this guard who was obviously scared out of his wits, although Ying's actions were inappropriate, there was still a certain degree of logic.
"You, how do you know that the Zither of the Sky is here…The place where the sacred item is stored is locked. If you want to find the key…go ahead, don't look for me!”The guards revealed everything in a panic." I don't know which vanguard member has the key…but you can go to the room to find them.”
If it wasn't for the fact that this person in front of me was obviously scared out of his wits, I would definitely suspect that he was a mole!
"He's a person who's scared out of his wits.”Paimon said disdainfully. She seemed to have forgotten how much she was worth.
"Humph…You, you guys take care of yourselves!”Before we left, the guards sent us another message." We have an executive in Mond. [Ma 'am] His Lordship will find you and hang you up to torture you-don't drag me down with you then!”
Hey, hey, hey, you…Are you really not a spy?
"Did he just say…Ma 'am? What a strange name." As they were moving deeper, Paimon mentioned the guard's words.
Dyluk knew this information."-Eleventh Executive of the Fools, Eighth Seat, Code Name [Lady]. The reason why the Fools could run amuck in the seven countries and threaten the West Wind Knights was entirely due to the existence of these eleven executives. Before she learns of the situation, we must act quickly.”
There was actually such a person hidden in Mond City? It's all Wendy's fault for suddenly recovering, causing me to be unable to use my perception. Otherwise, I would have discovered [Ma 'am]'s location and strength long ago.
And now, because of Wendy, everyone was overshadowed by his light. Activating my perception is equivalent to looking directly at a sun to find the flies flying in the sky. Not to mention that my perception is damaged, even if it's not damaged, how can I find it? It's too bright!
"Let's split up." I suggested.
I don't know when that lady will return. I don't believe that she's weak since she's able to become an executive officer in a powerful country like the Kingdom of Winter.
"If the few of us face such an enemy, we'll basically die unless Wendy or Jean makes a move.
Even though I trust Jean, if Jean makes a move, it might cause a dispute between the two countries.
As for Wendy, looking at him, he probably wasn't prepared to attack as the Wind God. Excluding the two of them, once the lady finds us, we will undoubtedly die.
Dyluk and Ying nodded, then each of them split up to search the rooms.
The guards stationed there saw me immediately."Who…who are you? How did you sneak in?!”
"I am the goodwill ambassador of the Monddon Friendship Association.”I was talking nonsense. Even without using my perception, I could tell that this character was very weak.
The guard's next sentence immediately made me drop my jaw."This…Is there such an association?”
Hiss…You actually believe this?
If the people of the Kingdom of Winter are all like this, I don't think they're as good as they say! However, it seemed that these guards were all low-level personnel. After all, there must be a reason why the Kingdom of Winter could become the strongest country.
The guard looked at the other rooms and found that there was no movement. Then, he asked,"What are you doing here?"
"Of course, I'm here to do some…friendly things.”The guard couldn't understand my words. This kind of ambiguous words might be able to make him imagine my identity and purpose.
"Oh? Hehe, we can talk about it in detail…You're here for the Zither of the Sky, right?”
Alright, I underestimated you. Since your intelligence is on the line, I can only make a move.
Just as I was about to attack, the guard's next sentence made me give up completely."So, how are you going to do it?”
"I will introduce you to the Monddon Friendship Association.”
"Uh…uh…hmm…okay! I won't reject your kindness. As a guard, I'll let you off. Unfortunately, I don't have the key. You'd better go and find the next person to take a look.”
It seemed that he was the kind of person who had more friends and more paths. Was this considered leaving a way out for himself?
I left the room. When I came out, I saw Ying's fingers spinning the key ring. Paimon flew beside Ying with his hands on his waist, as if she was the one who was the main force.
It seems like she's more reliable than us when it comes to tricking people…
Dyluk had also returned. He saw the key in Ying's hand."Since you've got it, hurry up and take the Zither of the Sky!”
When we reached the second floor, we saw the Zither of the Sky. However, there was a guard in a black windbreaker whose face was completely covered by a mask.
"Mouse, where did you crawl out from…Such offensive behavior, the [Lady] will not allow it. Let me help her solve her problems.”
The group of fools summoned several spinning darts and kept approaching us.
" That's the debt processor of the Kingdom of Winter. There are many categories in the Kingdom of Winter, and they're the special department responsible for dealing with debts. They would be useful when they encountered a powerful old scammer during debt collection. You can't underestimate it." Dyluk's voice was still very calm, but I could sense a hint of seriousness in it.
Because I couldn't use my perception, I didn't know how strong this debt processor was.
As the debt processor moved, he seemed to be walking at a strange rhythm. In just a few steps, he disappeared in front of us.
" He disappeared?!" Paimon exclaimed.
"It didn't disappear. It just caused a problem with our perception. This was a member of the special department specially trained by the Winterfell Kingdom. It seemed that he had trained for a long time and had practiced enough to make people feel that there was a mistake in his steps, so as to achieve the illusion of invisibility.”Diluck held his greatsword and closed his eyes to listen to the sounds nearby.
In other words, he wasn't actually invisible. It was just that our eyes couldn't see him. No, to be precise, it was to reduce his presence. Just like how we would subconsciously ignore a rock when we see it on the road. Even if this rock is bigger than us.
This was the current state of the debt processor. He was right under our noses, but we couldn't find him. Perhaps his clothes were specially designed like this.
" Hmph, you have some good eyesight…" The debt processor's voice came from all directions.
However, the moment the debt processor finished speaking, Diluck moved. He wasn't fast, but he didn't hesitate at all.
The sword was imbued with fire elemental energy as it slashed fiercely at an empty space.
In the next moment, a figure that was constantly being burned by the fire elemental energy was forced out.
"What? How did you find out?!”The debt processor looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.
However, the next moment, Dyluk's sword had already slashed across his neck."Maybe you should learn to be quiet.”
The debt processor was killed by Dyluk's sword, and his head rolled to the corner of the wall.
I didn't say anything. Perhaps this was a difference in standpoint. In the eyes of the Mond people, our actions were undoubtedly heroic. But in the eyes of the Winterfell Kingdom, Dyluk was definitely someone who could be put on the wanted list.
This debt processor only exchanged a few words with us, and he was killed because of our different standpoints…
"What are you daydreaming about? It's time to go!" Dyluk said coldly," If we don't leave now,[Ma 'am] might come over. Jean couldn't hold her off for too long. Every executive of the Fools Society had their own way of doing things. They only listened to the Ice Queen's orders.”
"Yes." When I saw Dyluk retrieve the Zither of the Sky, I called everyone to come closer to me." Don't resist.”
The space warp was activated, and we instantly returned to Mond City.
