After my rebirth, Miss Saint turned evil

He soon arrived at his destination and after looking around, began to climb up the wall.

He found a balcony suitable for entering the fortress and climbed in.

Then......

"What a coincidence! You work here too."

Murphy made a joke in his heart because he saw Sharon squatting on the eaves on the other side.

Sharon also noticed him, and the two of them just looked at each other from a distance.

"I didn't expect the old man to be such a tsundere."

"You said you didn't care about me, but didn't you send Sharon here anyway?"

Murphy thought with some irony in his heart, but he did not say hello to Sharon.

After all, at this time, any sound made may lead to exposure.

Sharon

【Rogue】

[Swordsmanship Level: C]

Thief Level: B

[Magic Level: None]

[Divine Art Level: None]

Murphy took a quick glance at the message that suddenly appeared, then waved at Sharon as a greeting.

After receiving Sharon's wave in response, Murphy ignored her and turned directly into the fortress through the window.

Murphy's plan this time was simple - to avoid the sight of servants and knights and take a tour inside the fortress.

If you see anything worth taking away on the way, take it and you will complete Old Jed's mission.

There are about six floors inside the castle, and each floor can be reached through spiral staircases around it.

In fact, it is somewhat similar to the structure of the connection between each level of a maze, except that there is a staircase on each level, while here there is only one complete staircase.

Murphy thought about it and roughly determined that he was currently in a room on the third floor.

The room was very dark, but the moonlight from the window allowed me to see clearly what was going on inside.

Murphy took a quick look and saw some miscellaneous items like tables and chairs piled here, but nothing valuable. Valuable things would definitely not be placed here.

Murphy didn't care about this place anymore. He walked to the door, listened to the noise for a while, then opened the door and came to the corridor.

The moment he walked through the aisle and stretched his head to look at the main hall, the only word that came to his mind was luxury.

Too luxurious.

The main hall on this floor should be used as a reception room. Small magic lamps that cost dozens of copper coins a day are everywhere here. This is really "burning" money.

There are several sofas here that can only be used by nobles, and the matching coffee tables are filled with precious tea sets.

In fact, if it were just this, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, this is where the city lord meets guests. He can't lose face when receiving guests.

But the most important thing is that this place has not been used for a long time.

I don’t know if it’s because the servants were lazy, but there was a noticeable layer of dust on the sofas and coffee tables. Even the tea set was covered with dust and no longer looked bright and shiny.

But even though no one has used this place for a long time, the magic lamp here is still on.

I'm afraid this has been the case here for the past few days before Murphy came here today.

"What a waste..."

There is no doubt that magic lamps are luxury goods.

Because the cost of lighting a magic lamp is enough for an ordinary person to have enough food and clothing for a day.

But the city lord would rather let him waste money than use it to help the poor.

Although the money was the city lord's own, Murphy was not using moral blackmail.

The current city lord is the second city lord sent by the royal capital. The first old city lord was executed long ago for taking the blame.

Oh, the crime was caused by the defense of Lars, which was reported by those nobles.

The weapons and food problems mentioned earlier, as well as the poor use of troops and the resulting excessive number of deaths were also blamed on him.

There were many other charges, such as desertion, embezzlement, etc., and these charges made him the biggest sinner in that war.

But in fact, the old city lord is a wise city lord. He deeply loves this city that he saw built with his own eyes, and he loves the residents of the city.

During the Battle of Lars, he actually stayed on the front line, but he was still charged with desertion.

When he saw that the soldiers had no money to eat, he would use his own money to buy food for them, but he was still accused of embezzlement.

There are many similar cases. In short, he was charged with countless false charges.

Then, he was executed in Lars.

In front of the gate of the city he loved so much.

Chapter 30 The Mouse's Return

The current city lord, Dickens Weber, was sent by the royal capital to take over the position of the old city lord.

Initially, it was because of those false charges and the manipulation of public opinion by the nobles behind the scenes.

As a result, except for a few people who knew the truth, most people thought that the old city lord was a damned evil person.

So, when Dickens first came, he was loved by many people.

He also satisfied the common people's fantasy of an excellent city lord, who was honest and incorruptible and loved the people like his own children.

Well…at least on the surface.

Dickens once said that if he had money, he would give it all to the poor.

The ultimate goal is to eliminate poverty in Lars.

Everyone believed it because every time he went out, he would appear to be poor and honest.

So over a period of time, the number of people supporting him increased.

But in the end he was exposed.

The people who loved the old lord broke into his fortress and stripped away all the extravagance he had in his own fortress.

However, Dickens reacted quickly. He quickly cleaned up those "rumor-mongers" on the pretext of breaking into the fortress and attempting to assassinate the city lord, and then successfully controlled public opinion.

Then, he began to try to fulfill his vow, which was Lars' ultimate goal of having no poor people.

Many people are not clear about the specific method because the decree he issued was ultimately not implemented.

If this decree can be successfully implemented, then although the East City District is still located in Lars, it will no longer be Lars's East City District.

Because his method was to separate Lars from the East City District and then find an opportunity to clean out the poor people.

Ridiculous and ridiculous.

Some civilians who knew Dickens's extravagant nature before he spoke up were both angry and helpless towards him.

I was angry at his deceit and extravagance;

Unfortunately, I have no way to deal with this absurd situation.

After all, they were just ordinary people and had no way to deal with the city lord who was guarded by the knights.

Later, Old Jed started to take action, or rather, it was his group of rats who took action.

Because Old Jed's organization had just been established at that time and was short of funds.

Then, Dickens' true nature was revealed at that time, and Old Jed's organization happened to be one of the few groups that knew the truth.

Afterwards, the mice found Old Jed and asked him if they could take action against the city lord's fortress.

Old Jed, the rat leader, did not directly answer their questions, but just told them to follow the rules.

And those rats were all smart people, so they naturally knew the reason why he hid himself.

So Dickens became their first big client.

He was indeed very rich, because the gold coins and treasures he saved even filled the entire treasury.

But he has no money now because the rats have taken away all the money.

It was also because of that money that Old Jed's organization gradually grew and became Lars' largest underground organization.

Therefore, even now, their customer base has grown to the capital;

Even though Dickens hired a large number of knights to guard the place and hid the money in a place where it could not be found, there would often be restless mice that came to visit.

Even if you can't find the money, even if you can't find any valuables, even if it's just a pillow, those rats who can't control their hands will take it away from you.

It's their way of expressing gratitude.

Dickens did try to find these rats, but the few private soldiers under his command were simply not enough.

He couldn't send out knights and troops because he couldn't publicize the matter.

Even if he did find it, he couldn't catch the thief in a big way.

If he dares to do so, his extravagant and money-making nature and the absurd decisions he made in the past will be completely exposed.

By then, not only would he lose his position as city lord, he might even lose his life.

So even if all his money was stolen by the mice, he could only swallow it with gritted teeth.

Moreover, as long as he can continue to be the city lord, he will still be able to make money, and he will be able to earn it back sooner or later. He just needs to be careful to guard against rats.

However, Murphy is not very clear about these things.

He had only heard from Old Jed that Dickens was very luxurious, but he had no idea to what extent.

At that time, he just thought that the city lord was still a noble after all, so it was okay if he was a little extravagant, as long as it was not too outrageous.

Well, but now he understands.

The rarely used conference rooms on this floor are all like this, and what about the other floors...

Murphy didn't dare to think about it anymore because it was beyond his understanding of money.

After all, he was just an ordinary poor man.

-------------------------------------

"Is this the only place left?"

Murphy hid her body in the shadow outside the window, looking at the door at the other end of the corridor.

He had already visited the first five floors of the fortress, and now only the sixth floor was left.

The knights' defense was tight, and it was actually quite tight, after all, there were so many people watching.

But for some reason, Murphy always felt that this infiltration was very easy, as if the group of knights did not defend seriously.

If they were serious, Murphy wouldn't be caught by them directly, but it wouldn't be as easy as it is now.

The only possibility is that the group of knights are also tired of this city lord.

After all, they are working overtime now, and it is unpaid.

Murphy looked at the room again, which he had left specially.

According to experience, this should be the city lord's private bedroom.

Indeed, Murphy guessed right.

Because at this moment, the room was filled with undisguised lewd music and the flirting between men and women.

'How about... go and scare him?'

If Murphy rushed in and yelled now, our beloved Lord Dickens might be left with an indelible shadow and would never be able to stand up again.

"Forget it, it feels a bit unethical."

"And it will definitely be discovered, which will cause trouble for the old man."

After thinking for a while, Murphy decided to give up his somewhat malicious plan.

However, just as he was about to find a way to enter the room, he heard hurried footsteps.
