The Dean Has Arrived

Although Wicklen seemed to have objections, in the end the lord's wife agreed with Xi Wei and the others to live in the castle temporarily.

This was also expected by Xi Wei, after all, they just rescued your daughter, no matter how you say it, it is impossible to sweep them out in a blink of an eye...

But no one noticed that when he followed the maid to his room, a bug the size of a fly flew down from Xi Wei's cuff and hid in the reception room.

After confirming that Xi Wei and the others had left, the lord's wife carefully closed the door, and the gentle smile that had been on her face was replaced by irritability and anxiety.

"Why is that Mudblood still alive!" She yelled at Wickren, "What the hell is Campas (see Chapter 34) doing!"

"Hmph, as I said a long time ago, the kind of guy who only talks about being pretty is unreliable at all. Even if that guy named Edric is just a junior mage, he can be easily dealt with." Wickron snorted coldly. , expressing his disdain for the knight who always showed courteousness in front of the lord's wife.

"...Why don't you make the move?" The lord's wife hesitated for a moment, then tried to say.

But Wicklen shook his head and refused.

"No, the wind elemental magic of our Green family is too distinctive, and it is easy for people to detect clues from the traces of casting spells. And if you use other magic that I am not good at, then you will not be sure of defeating the opponent. If you don't want to It’s better to get rid of the idea of ​​going to the noble court for the crime of murdering nobles.”

"Even if someone knows that I killed that Mudblood, so what?" Although the lord's wife insisted unconvincedly, she didn't mention anything like Wicklan's action.

"Anyway, that Mudblood must be eliminated! After finally getting William to lie on the hospital bed, there must be no accidents." The expression on her face was somewhat hysterical.

"Actually, we still have a chance to get rid of that Mudblood without anyone noticing." Wicklun twirled his goatee, and a treacherous light flashed in his long and narrow eyes: "The mage we just came Doesn't a friend just provide a good excuse?"

The lord's castle is worthy of being a lord's castle, even if it's just a guest room, it has a four-poster velvet bed, a leather sofa and so many extravagant things that make Xi Wei jealous.

But at this moment, Xi Wei didn't pay attention to those things. Instead, he sat on the sofa and stared at the coffee table in front of him.

A bug the size of a fly was parked on the coffee table, and a translucent screen appeared above the bug's back. What was shown on the screen was what happened in the reception room after Xi Wei and the others left not long ago.

"..." After listening to the entire conversation between the two of them verbatim, Xi Wei was silent for a while, and then sighed: "It seems that this snooping bug is the right one."

The Snoop Bug is a gadget in the Achievement Shop, Miscellaneous category. Judging from the introduction, this little thing with a lifelike flying insect appearance is a product of alchemy, and it should be a puppet of the same kind as a gargoyle. It can move freely within a straight line distance of no more than one kilometer from the controller. , and record what they see and hear into a video with a maximum duration of 10 hours, and then spend a little magic to play the video.

However, as an item that only requires ten achievement points, this thing has many shortcomings. For example, because it is too sensitive to magic power, even if someone within five meters nearby uses magic of the second ring or higher on other things, it will be burned due to the magic power overload, and its firmness is no different from that of ordinary flies, even if it is weak. A young girl can slap it to death or something...

But as far as the current situation is concerned, being able to obtain such information still makes Xi Wei feel that the ten points of achievement can be regarded as worthwhile.

Xi Wei rubbed his eyes and learned a lot from the conversation between Wicklen and the lord's wife.

For example, Tio is not the daughter of the lord's wife, but the illegitimate daughter of Lord Skanji and an unknown woman who is probably a commoner—the word mudblood refers to this type of people; for example, the lord's wife used a certain Some means sent her husband to the hospital bed, and it seemed that she planned to send him to heaven; for example, Tio was attacked by jackals at that time, and it was very likely that these two people instigated it; The conspiracy of my own pedestrians.

"It always seems to be getting more and more troublesome..." Xi Wei sighed.

He has met many people, warm and simple peasants, townspeople who are a little philistine, priests who are sanctimonious or kind-hearted, rude and heroic mercenaries, and businessmen who are full of money, but no one is better than Mingmian The aristocrat who smiles at you, but turns his head and gives you a sharp knife makes him even more troubled.

In Xi Wei's opinion, even fighting monsters in the dungeon is more comfortable than getting along with them.

So he put the snooping bug into the bronze storage box—although it was a waste of space for such a small bug, but this thing is too sensitive to magic power, so that if it is in the pocket, say no Ding Xiwei's spell would break as soon as he cast it—then put his troubles behind him, opened the door to the trial, and went to the instance of [Yellow and Brown Sand Dunes].

Although [Tawny Sand Dunes] has a bit of a troublesome requirement for a boss battle, the 'Gold Nugget Lizard' in it is so far the only monster that can be collected as a material called 'Gold Grinding' for exchange of money resources. .

This is very important to Xi Wei, who is in the poorest class among mages...

After completing the dungeon with ease, he put the customs clearance reward [Broken Earth Elemental Crystal] into his pocket, and after leaving the dungeon, Xi Wei heard a knock on the door.

Is it a housemaid or something? Xi Wei opened the door strangely, and then saw Tio standing outside the door.

The silver-haired girl was holding a pillow that was almost the same size as hers, and she had already changed into a white dress with extremely light fabric, which was probably like pajamas.

She looked up at Xi Wei.

"What's the matter?" Xi Wei asked strangely.

"...I just knocked on the door for a long time." Tio said slowly: "...I thought you were not here."

"Forehead……"

Xi Wei, who just came out of the dungeon, was at a loss for words.

"Xi Wei," the girl said in her characteristic ethereal voice, and this was the first time she called Xi Wei by his name directly: "I hate this place."

"...Well, I'm sorry." Xi Wei's stiff expression softened slightly.

He also realized at this moment that he never cared about Tio's feelings from the beginning to the end—the life of an illegitimate daughter living in this kind of castle is definitely not a happy life.

"So," Tio continued, "I'm sleeping here today."

"En..." Xi Wei, who blamed himself a bit, nodded habitually before suddenly realizing what the girl said: "Eh? Wait, is there any causal relationship between these two things?"
