Re:Zero - Jobless Reincarnation: Succubus Sword God? I don't recognize it!

Chapter 272 Someone Flees

"My original intention in mentioning Hui Eryin just now was just to remind you of the current situation, but Dilic led me astray."

"The assassination seems to be over? But you and I both know that it's not over yet."

"Since Hui Eryin was able to organize such a 'grand' assassination in Liupu City, and he was able to set up an ambush under the Bridge of Blagie in Liupu City in advance, and even borrowed the craftsmen to arrange it in advance."

"It proves that there are definitely people in Liupu City who do not welcome your arrival. Some of them have even sided with the First Prince and given him convenience."

Alan walked to the bed, leaned over slightly, and plowed Ariel and Dilic's faces with his eyes.

"So now, the nobles outside are eager to see you. What should we do? How should we deal with it? Get off the ship and show up? Will we be assassinated again? If there is no assassination by chance, how should we deal with the subsequent trip to Liupu City?"

"Should I admit defeat and go back in disgrace, or should I continue with the itinerary as planned by the municipal government?"

"Have you thought about it?"

Ariel couldn't laugh anymore, her expression was frozen on her face.

Dilic frowned, his expression very serious, and spoke after a moment.

"Thanks to Mr. Allen, the assassination has been settled. It is time to go out and find the municipal officials of Liupu City to hold them accountable. Assassinating Her Royal Highness the Princess is a capital crime."

He paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and changed the subject.

"But the evidence has probably been erased. If we convict her, the clues will probably only lead to the assassin and then to the assassin. There is no way to confirm who in Liupu City was involved in the assassination. If we question these officials on a large scale, it may push those nobles who are inclined to support Her Highness Ariel to the opposite side of Her Highness the Princess."

Dilic raised his eyes and looked back at Allen, who had been looking at him expressionlessly, and a few beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Obviously, things like recruiting and joining are often.
Two-way.

When you are screening others, others are also screening you.

He gritted his teeth and finally spoke with difficulty.

"Your Highness Ariel is still young and not suitable for making enemies. If you keep pushing the nobles away and rely entirely on public opinion to compete for the next king, you are doomed to fail, so..."

The next moment, Ariel, who had a pale face and had figured it out before Dilic woke up, took over the conversation.

"Let me explain. So, there are two choices: The first choice is to not care whether the nobles of Liupu City are involved in this matter, believe the unilateral explanation of the assassination given by Liupu City, and let the assassination go lightly. This way, no nobles will be offended. Then continue the subsequent visit to Liupu City according to the established itinerary of Liupu City."

Alan sneered.

"What if there is another assassination?"

Ariel hesitated for a moment, but since Alan had discovered her intention, she no longer hid it and simply made it clear.

After figuring this out, she looked up and stared at Alan.

"So before that, I need to recruit strong candidates who can protect my safety during this trip to avoid subsequent assassinations."

Allen nodded.

"So you chose the first one, and all your actions up to now have been to implement the first choice."

Ariel lowered her eyes and said nothing, while Izuru, Sylphy, and Rudy showed surprised expressions.

"What about the second one?"

"If I cannot recruit you, I will not leave the ship, but thank the people on the ship, and then return to the capital immediately on the pretext of being injured."

"This way, we can avoid offending the nobles and save our lives. This trip to Liupu City may have the opposite effect. We have not gained public support, and we have lost the opportunity to win over the nobles of Liupu City."

Alan smiled, he squatted down and looked directly at Ariel, who had lost her previous confidence but still tried to look back at Ariel's eyes.

"From the results, it was completely within the expectations of the First Prince and his staff. They made two preparations. If the assassination succeeds, you will die. If the assassination fails, with your current abilities, you can only choose the second option."

"Given the design of this assassination, you are doomed to lose from the beginning."

"In this situation, you, Ariel Anemoi Asra, are so weak in the capital, being plotted against without even knowing it, and you are so disgraced as to be part of the so-called second princess camp."

"How can I accept your recruitment calmly?"

"Why?"

Ariel was so upset that Alan had revealed all her thoughts so bluntly that she grabbed the hem of her skirt at her knees. Her eyelashes trembled slightly and she was about to pull her skirt up.

Alan had already stood up, and slapped his hand with a slap, which bounced onto the body of the maid beside him with a "smack!"

The hem of the skirt was lifted up by Allen in a fit of rage, revealing the still hot and plump buttocks underneath.

"Just because of this??"

Ariel took one look at the corpse, her face turned even paler, and she immediately stopped lifting her skirt.

His body was shaking with fear, and Dilic was speechless.

Alan shook his head, ignoring Ariel who was feeling strongly oppressed and "happy". He stood up, stretched out his hands to grab the ankles of the entity on the bed, and lifted the whole body upside down.

The skull was flipped upside down, and the remaining brain matter splashed onto the ground.

This movement attracted the attention of everyone present to Allen.

Dilic was so frightened that his face turned pale. Ariel's lower body and face were numb, and she had no idea what to do at this time. She didn't know what Alan was going to do, and just stared at the corpse in a daze.

Although Sylphy, Izuruti, and Rudy looked confused, they did not look too helpless. Instead, they looked at Alan with interest.

They also didn't know what Allen was going to do.

But one thing is certain, Allen just spoke so much and for so long.

So now, he's going to start showing off.

as predicted.

Alan carried the body to the window and turned to look at Ariel and Dilic.

"The current situation is indeed very difficult for you, so."

"I will lend myself to you for one day. You have to pay me first."

He reached out and dangled the body out of the window.

The third floor of the ship was very high, about fifteen to twenty meters from the deck. The guards and maids on the deck, as well as the people on the other side, all cried out in surprise. Who knew if this was a corpse or a living person?
The next moment!
Alan loosened his grip, and the body suddenly fell down, disappearing from the sight of everyone in the room.

"Snapped!!"

A sound similar to a watermelon cracking was heard downstairs.

Outside the window, screams came one after another, coming from far away and getting closer.

Along with Alan's voice, it was carried by the wind outside the window and crashed into the ship on the third floor.

"The borrowing period begins now."

While everyone was stunned and hadn't reacted, he stuck his head out of the window.

Drink loudly!

"There are assassins!!"

As he finished speaking, the noise from the people on both sides of the dock became louder.

Allen turned his head and looked at the dock. As expected, the Street Soldiers all bowed their heads in front of the municipal officials, as if they were being scolded before, and did not pay any attention to what Allen said. These people were very arrogant, and even if Allen killed all the assassins, he could not arouse any awe in them.

Cheap bones.

At this moment, all the bastards turned around and looked at the boat in shock, not knowing what Alan was going to do.

Alan stared at them from a distance, talking non-stop.

"Sylphy, Izuruti, Rudy, Dilic, don't move. Ariel, in three seconds, rush to the window and do what you should do."

Just as question marks were about to appear over everyone's heads, Alan suddenly kicked the window sill on the third floor and jumped down!

Only a shadow remains of the figure.

Immediately, a loud "bang" sound was heard from the deck below the window!
Everyone wanted to rush to the window, but they stopped when they thought of Alan's instructions and looked at each other. But Ariel stared as if she had realized something, and even though her steps were a little unsteady, she staggered to the window.

Before she could stick her head out.

There came a deafening roar of rage from below!

"Why don't you want to investigate the murderer? Since you don't want to take action, I will help you! This is obviously a premeditated assassination! Everyone at the dock! First of all, you can't escape responsibility!"

The nobles at the dock in the distance were all stunned, and then their faces changed drastically, and they opened their mouths to scold Allen. The cold light of the blade extinguished all the dirty words that were about to come out of their mouths.

As the nobles' gazes turned from anger to horror.

Alan turned around and kicked the man left by the Street Corps to the ground. He raised his hand and pulled out a knife from the man's waist and raised it above his head. The blade drew a white light on his wrist. Alan grinned, stood up, kicked the side of the bridge with both feet, and jumped onto the bridge with just a flip.

Land, stand firmly, and step up with your feet suspended in the air.

The next moment, the figure disappeared from the spot.

"Snapped."

One step down!
Already standing next to the 'noble gentlemen' at the dock!

Ariel had jumped out of the window, and she quickly turned her head to look at the dock. At this moment, the cold light of the blade flashed like a firefly in her eyes, following Alan's posture of raising the knife!
It is particularly dazzling under the morning sun!

It matched Alan's grim smile so well.

He is a typical villain.

The nobles at the dock had never seen such people who would resort to knife fighting over a disagreement. They immediately panicked, "Street Troops!!!"

Then a funny scene happened. The street soldiers who were knowledgeable and had watched Alan's fight all the time actually scattered like birds and beasts the moment the nobles finished speaking, leaving the noble masters behind them exposed!
Protect it in front of you, it’s so neat!

The nobles who had looked indifferent and arrogant just now pushed and tried to retreat when they saw this, but they fell to the ground one after another because of their weak legs and the crowd.

Allen, on the other hand, looked at the street soldiers who seemed to be "pissing their butts and pissing" but were actually watching the fun secretly, and smiled.

The wind from the sword rose, and Alan swung his hand to chop the nobles in front of him!

at this time!

"Allan Boreas Greyrat!!! Please stop!"

The blade flashed down! It drew an arc above the nobles' heads, but Allen narrowly turned it in another direction, and the sharp sword energy was thrown into the water at the edge of the dock, "clang!" and stirred up huge waves several meters high.

The momentum is huge and the deterrent is extremely strong.

The nobles were terrified.

Ariel leaned against the window and drank.

"I believe the officials of Liupu City! As the second princess, I guarantee them that most of them have never participated in this assassination. You were involved in this assassination for no reason, but there are reasons for it. Don't be impulsive!"

"Yes! It's a misunderstanding!"

"Do not impulse!"

"Your Highness is right!"

The nobles on the dock were already lying on the ground. They stared blankly at the tip of the knife that Alan had lowered, and they all realized that the man in front of them really dared to kill them.

At this time, someone inside came to his senses.

"Wait, Bo. Boreas? Could it be..."

Alan looked at them expressionlessly.

"In the royal capital, the Boreas Mansion, the third son, Alan Boreas Greyrat, we were affected by this inexplicable assassination."

"Liupu City, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

As soon as these words were spoken, some nobles immediately broke down.

Give you an explanation? Who are you? James is not even a senior minister. Give you an explanation? Do you really think you are a piece of cake?
I thought so in my heart, but I said it in a friendly manner.

"So it's the young master of the Boreas family. One hour is one hour! We will definitely give you an explanation!"

However, two of these nobles froze in their expressions, and subconsciously looked up at the tall tower behind the Well of Stellan across the waterway in the distance.

Alan had been paying attention to the expressions of these nobles for a long time, and when he saw this, he turned his head and looked in the direction they were looking.

Far beyond the horizon.

A figure was seen leaning out from the top of the tower on the side of the Bridge.

Even though the figure was blurry, Alan recognized it was James at a glance.

The two looked at each other from a distance, and then separated their gazes after just one glance.

James turned away from the window and smiled at the butler beside him.

"He even wants to tarnish the reputation of the capital Boreas. This rebellious son is still like this after all these years. He really can't stand any loss."

The butler sneered.

"That's Master Allen's character, isn't it? Let's go, Master."

James nodded and walked quickly out of the house.

The butler followed.

"How is the assassin group doing? Are there any fish that slipped through the net?"

"And the contact channel of the First Prince was killed as well."

"Are your hands and feet clean?"

"clean."

"How about those two city officials down there?"

"The information was delivered orally. There is no evidence to prove it. The news was delivered through a killer group, and the middleman died last night. Even if they are not careful with their words, in the eyes of others, they are just accusing each other with obvious motives. All clues to the assassination are cut off with them."

"Very good. It's time to go. This is not the capital. If he gets angry and comes to kill us, our safety cannot be guaranteed. Although if he has any sense, he would not do this in front of so many people, but I am sure that this rebellious son will kill me to vent his anger even if it means that he can't gain a foothold in Asura."

"That's true, but I didn't expect him to be so perceptive. He figured out in just a moment that the master was probably watching from Liupu City himself, and he was able to determine our locations based on the reactions of those two people."

".Walk."

The two stopped talking. The butler grabbed James and went down the spiral staircase in a few steps.

Twenty seconds later, when the two men hurried out of the tower, they all turned to look at where Alan was.

Within a distance of several hundred meters, dense crowds of people were swaying and crowding before my eyes.

Alan didn't come to kill him.

He had already turned and walked onto the bridge, and was looking this way.

The morning sun shines on the bridge.

In just over twenty seconds, he had another life on his hands.

One of the two municipal officials who took part in the assassination was hung in front of him by his hair, swaying in the morning breeze.

If we ignore the fact that it has no body, it would really be like a puppet under the bridge.

Alan looked at James's position from a distance, amidst the dense crowd of people, and smiled.

He swung the head towards James.

Of course, it didn't fall that far. It hit the crowd of people just a dozen meters away, causing a burst of exclamations.

The housekeeper was visibly stunned when he saw this 'nonsense' scene, and laughed at its absurdity.

"Is this a threat to you?"

James narrowed his eyes at Alan's figure.

"It's just childish bravado."

Turn around and leave.

The pace is very fast.

　He can kill at this distance, but it's easy to go wrong if he does so, and Allen still has some use for James.

　　Killing James was mainly for other purposes, and it was not possible to kill him in Flowing Falls City.
