Zanoba tentatively offered to let me go with him to see the king.

But I can't take off the magic armor.

Going to see the king in this state may cause dissatisfaction.

Considering this, Zanoba did not force it.

On the other hand.

The atmosphere in the royal city is a bit strange.

Leaving aside mercenaries, guards can be seen everywhere in the streets.

Why are there so many guards?

It's really puzzling.

My intuition tells me that besides the war against Wang Lung Kingdom, something else happened here.

With the idea of ​​​​investigation.

I took off my magic armor and put on the transformation ring that Ariel once borrowed to investigate.

The transformation ring can completely transform a person into another person.

I borrowed the appearance of a certain middle-aged man and started investigating in the royal city.

……

That being said.

The investigation process did not go smoothly.

The guards seemed to have been told something deliberately.

He even came forward to question me when he saw me asking for information.

Fortunately, it got over in time.

In the end, nothing was found out.

No.

That's not accurate either.

Nothing can be found out, which is also a kind of intelligence.

This means that something unspeakable has indeed happened in the royal city, and the entire city is under martial law.

So what is going on...

When I think so.

Received a page from Orsted.

The pager showed a short list of addresses that seemed to direct me there.

It's somewhere in the royal city.

……

"Hey-"

I removed a valve similar to a sewer manhole cover and drilled into a hole less than one meter in diameter.

Follow the passage all the way down.

Suddenly, a light came on below.

"it's here."

Orsted's voice came from inside the wall.

I hesitated for a moment, then used earth magic to digest the wall.

Then, a huge hole immediately appeared in front of him.

"Oh oh oh!"

It's something like a secret base.

An unknown base built in a deserted area.

I remember liking this when I was a kid.

I didn’t expect Orsted to be interested in this as well.

I dove right in.

Soon, I saw a bed at the end.

Orsted was sitting on the bed, with a light elf scroll on the ground for lighting.

"Mr. Dragon God."

"Ah."

"Um...how did you know I was here?"

"I saw you when I was outside just now."

"That's it."

"Okay, let's sit down first."

Orsted said this.

but……

There is only one bed in the base, where should I sit?

Do you want me to sit on Orsted's lap?

I used earth magic to create a bench and sat down on the spot.

"The apostle of the human god has investigated it."

Orsted said straight to the point.

"Huh? Are you really in the Shillong Kingdom? Who is it?"

"He is the king of Shillong Kingdom."

"What exactly did you do?"

"The human god took advantage of the war between Asra and Wang Lung to make King Shillong mistakenly believe that the Kingdom of Wang Lung is in an unprecedented state of weakness. At this time, as long as he declares war, he will definitely win."

"I see."

That's what happened.

Just provoke a war between the Shillong Kingdom and the Wanglong Kingdom.

As a proton, Pacus naturally dies.

There is no doubt about this.

Before that, Orsted and I had focused on the Wanglong Kingdom and ignored the changes in the Shillong Kingdom.

Because the decision to start the war was made suddenly, the mercenary group did not receive any information.

It was all too sudden.

It can only be said that humans and gods caught us off guard.

That being said.

This is just a useless move.

We have already obtained Laplace's secret treasure, and Pacus's death has no impact on the plan.

and many more.

I suddenly remembered one thing.

"Mr. Dragon God, how did the human-god apostle deal with it?"

"killed."

"..."

As expected.

After Orstide judged that the king was an apostle of man and god, he killed him without hesitation.

Generally speaking, this is fine.

But that's why.

The situation now becomes quite complicated.

News of the king's death did not spread. ,

unknown reason.

The more critical point is the ongoing war with the Wanglong Kingdom.

Originally, the war was initiated as a result of the king's insistence.

Now, the king is dead.

Who killed him?

Assassin from Wang Lung Kingdom?Or someone else?

In any case, the man who started the war is now dead.

But the Kingdom of Shillong was on the verge of breaking out and had no choice but to take action.

What will happen next...

That guy is really annoying.

"That's all there is to say."

After Orsted finished speaking, he stared at me with terrifying eyes.

"What about you, Rudeus, what are you going to do?"
