The Swordsman Called the Countless Swords Sorcerer

After arriving in the Imperial City, Aldis took an affordable inn and laddered the open tavern. Of course, not to drink alcohol, but to gather information.

You will pass on the information fee to the tavern master and several information agencies to find out how the turmoil has spread. Of course I can't even ask straight. So, based on information when Nere was working with mercenaries traveling on the highway, she pretended to be "Young mercenaries trying to challenge rumored female mercenaries."

There are a few things we have learned. First of all, it is also known that Nere was a grinder suppression member. Second, it seems that Nere's captive order did not appear in the royal city. Finally, it was found that information on Aldis and twins had not reached the royal capital.

Yuuo: I was just starting to think that I would not have to worry about this, but I bought some indispensable information from an information store called Cesare.

The informant was drinking fruit water at the bar on the first floor of the inn where Aldis took room. When Aldis entered the inn, he asked the tavern master for an introduction to an information store. Cesare was the one who said, "No, this time will come before noon." He walked around a nearby bar and returned to the afternoon, as the master said, and finally introduced him to the bar.

A man named Cesare is polite in terms of language and soft in spite of working as an information store. The appearance is beautiful, and depending on how you look, you can even feel dignity. Hair that is glossy as wet is light brown. His eyes were dark brown. If you dressed neatly, you wouldn't let your daughter around when you go to town, and if you put it in, you'll have the atmosphere that seems to be like a noble child.

The information I got from the Cesare was much more accurate and newer than what I got from the information source.

Only Cesare knew about Nere being captured in Tria. In addition, he seemed to have heard that he had already died from Tria. He said he had more information on hand and wanted time for confirmation, so he promised to meet again before noon tomorrow.

Cormorant Of course, we can't just look at information about Cesare. After leaving Cesare, Aldis meets with several intelligence agencies to continue checking how far the Nere case has reached the Imperial City.

Azusa And then, as the sun went down and the sky was full, Aldis was walking alone in an alley near the backstreet.

There is a backstreet in the backstreet, and information different from the fronts may flow.

A group of humans suddenly surrounds Aldis, who came to make sure and meet the information shop behind him. It seems that he came out aiming for a casual alley.

"What is it?"

Aldis asks a sullen tone at the opponent who is facing outright hostility. The alley is surrounded by more than ten people, and the right and left are not narrow. He was supposed to siege it from the beginning, and he would have expected this timing.

A man who seems to be the leader in front opened his mouth.

"Don't worry if you don't worry. If you go rampaging, you'll be injured without doing anything."

"Is the purse the purpose?"

"Ah ...? Yes, I'm gonna get it."

Apparently not for robbery. The idea of pursuing a pursuit from the tribal army broke his head for a moment, but this was immediately countered. I can't imagine that any territorial army would be solely responsible for capturing Ardis and Nere. Desperate mercenaries were subject to surrender. You should avoid getting involved in the town.

"Either way, I just smash it."

"How long can you afford that?-Guys, do it!"

At the leader's command, the gorotsuki attack all at once.

"Stupid guys"

In narrow alleys where they attacked at once, they couldn't move each other as they thought. I could only say stupidly to abandon my number advantage in a narrow space.

Of course, even if this is a square where there are no obstacles, Aldis's chances of losing such a gorotsuki are almost zero. Aldis, without pulling his sword, kicks off the man who first hits him, and turns off his back against the left wall.

At most three people attack simultaneously due to space issues. Besides, body judgment is completely amateur. Pick up with your bare hands and knock them out in quick succession. For Aldis, he could easily respond without having to pull his sword.

"That's how it is! Do not be willing to give me one or two limbs!"

When the leader pulls the dagger from his waist and holds it, other gorotsuki begin to pull the knife and dagger.

Aldis uses the magic of the wind without chanting. The blade of wind pressure, which was born without any warning, breaks the blades of the gorotsuki one after another.

"e?"

"that?"

"why?"

Looking at the weapons that were quickly lost, Aldis sinks his fist one after another, as they don't understand what's going on. Some thrust at the throat, some at the bottom of the groin, some at the jaws, some at the crotch, and fall down.

More than half of them were killed, and lost their will to fight, including the leader, and fled away.

"Well, who was asked?"

When Aldis forces one of the fallen Gorotsuki, she asks her with a cool face.

"Yes, I don't know! Really! I just attacked you as my brother told me!"

"Is it going to catch me?"

"Oh yeah! I didn't really want to kill me! My brother told me to catch me as little as possible!"

Aldis decides that it is no use anymore and throws out a frightened gorotsuki. He was a killer opponent.

Aldis thinks as he leaves. Now, who wants to capture himself in this royal city? Who will benefit from doing so?

After all, the most likely is the tribal territory. Capture Aldis to spit out Nere's whereabouts. The military had reason to capture Aldis alive.

But if the army was pulling the string behind the scenes, he would send a more decent user than that. It's not unlikely that churches or nobles have taken the initiative, but in any case I don't think they've noticed that Ardis is coming to the royal capital.

Only Aldis and Nere and the twins Philia and Liana know that Aldis is in the royal capital. At the moment we haven't met anyone in the royal capital, and Aldis is not as well-known as a public face.

Ardis returns to the inn without feeling concluded, with feelings of humor. It disappeared the next day.

The next day, Aldis will concentrate on gathering information in the morning as before.

But no new information comes in. The only information that can be obtained from sources other than Cesare is that Nere has participated in the defeat of the grinder, but it does not seem to be conveyed about the captive riot and the subsequent missing.

Then, as soon as Cesare reported, Ardis returned to the hotel before noon. Aldis calls out from behind to Cesare, who is drinking fruit water at the counter as before the day.

"Was you waiting?"

After a long time, Cesare looks back. He looked straight into Aldis's face, and said, "Please sit down."

"And how was it?"

"In the" fear "I mentioned yesterday, it seemed that the lord had issued an order to arrest the female mercenary because she was guilty of injuries to her soldiers and suspected of kidnapping infants. Although it was enclosed, the house entered was apparently uninhabited, the capture failed, and the whereabouts of the female mercenary seemed lost. "

After all, the information that Cesare has is of higher quality than other information agencies.

Court of Justice "It seems that this captive order seemed to be the complete arbitrariness of the Marquis and had not been approved. So Tria seems to be still trying to do the very fact of the captive order. is not it"

This information should have been good news for Aldis. He thought it was suspicious at the time the law enforcement had no sign, but he did not follow the formal procedure. If Thria is trying to get rid of it, at least there will be no apparent Ardis or Nere arrangements.

"Is that information certain?"

"Since it was the information I checked yesterday, I couldn't catch up with it. The reliability was about 70%. It's about an institution, I know. ''

"Really"

Certainly, the information is not always correct, but it has been six days since the captivity. Unless Tria has concealed the information, other information agencies will probably have the same information. The fact that no information source other than Cesare knows is probably a fact that Tria is trying to erase it.

But Aldis felt something stuck.

Why does Cesare know so much not mention Aldis's information?

Before the grinders were killed, Aldis always hunted in pairs with Nere. The place where they were together in the city would have been witnessed, as Nere always followed.

Moreover, the captive drama was at Aldis's house, and the guards who came to captivity went to Aldis, and Nere disappeared and Aldis himself disappeared from Tria. Despite the involvement so far, it was strange that Aldis's story never came out of Cesare's mouth.

When thoughts reach that point, Aldis is relieved. I remembered the feeling that I felt after being attacked by Gorotsuki yesterday.

A person who knows that Aldis is in the royal capital besides Nere and twins. An unexpected thought turned into conviction.

The young man in front of him may have noticed that I am Aldis.

Then, Aldis decided to set a trap.

"I can't help it. It would be enough if I had only that much research done in a day. I have to leave the royal capital this afternoon because there are friends waiting."

-Hope that your prey is trapped.
