After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

Who would have thought that the driver disappeared?

The driver who was taking him home was already waiting by the carriage after he was released from prison and changed his clothes.

In other words, it was arranged by Aize.

Brian himself didn't have the energy to even glance at a servant, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Who would have thought——

"who is it?"

There were footsteps behind him, and Brian, who was gradually beginning to panic, turned his head subconsciously like a frightened bird.

He found that his driver was standing not far behind him, looking at him expressionlessly.

Before he could ask any questions, the driver's appearance had already changed.

The original outline and color quickly faded and distorted, turning into an amorphous black shadow.

Then, like plasticine in a child's hands, it is reshaped and reconstructed again.

In an instant, the driver in simple clothes disappeared.

Instead, there was a girl with pink hair and blue eyes wearing a black coat.

Brian was very familiar with this girl.

Alicia, whose true identity is unknown, is a versatile assassin and spy trained by herself.

The moment he saw her, Brian collapsed to the ground without even thinking of running away.

After all, the meaning of it appearing here in this form is self-evident.

"You, you—you want to kill me? Was it that damned hero who gave the order?!"

Now, Brian understood why that bastard was so kind as to let him go.

Although he had committed treason, he was a nobleman after all and could not be dealt with privately without trial.

If he killed himself in Tafia, it would be a lynching, and would inevitably attract criticism and even blame from all sides.

So, he deliberately let himself go and waited until Brian entered his territory before sending people to take action.

In this way, nominally, Brian died due to the security problems in his own territory, and had nothing to do with Aize, Sheen, and Tafia.

He even chose this route himself, so it's not anyone else's fault.

That damned little bastard, why is he so kind...

No, there's no point scolding him now.

Because Alicia was already approaching him step by step with an expressionless face.

Terrified, he crawled backwards on his hands and knees while speaking to the pink-haired girl:

"You...you really want to kill me?"

"..."

Alicia didn't respond, not even a flicker of expression.

"Don't forget, don't forget who taught you everything. Without me, you wouldn't be who you are now. You monster, you actually betrayed me like this..."

He didn't finish his words because Alicia's figure in his sight began to twist again.

The girl's figure instantly disappeared and turned into a huge wolf-like monster. Without saying a word, she pounced directly at Brian.

The sharp teeth in its mouth tore his throat into a bloody mess in an instant.

Brian didn't even have time to scream before he fell into a pool of blood and turned into a corpse quickly and silently.

After finishing her work, Alicia transformed into her human form again.

After glancing expressionlessly at Brian's body on the ground, he turned and left without saying a word.

Disguise yourself as a coachman, and when you arrive at this location, take action, kill Brian, and disguise the scene as a monster attack, and then leave it for a passing caravan to discover.

From Aize's point of view, this kind of shameful work is actually better done by Constantine, who is a professional in dirty work. Disguised as a bandit attack is not much different from Warcraft.

But out of the idea of letting Alicia vent, she was chosen to carry out the mission.

But what Aize didn't want to bring up was that Alicia actually didn't care at all.

Today, Aize is the anchor of Alicia’s self-awareness.

Because this was Aize's order, she would carry it out without hesitation.

That's it.

All I am thinking about now is to meet up with Aize as soon as possible as planned.

As for the pleasure of revenge, to be honest, it doesn't matter much.

Although Aize is aware of the difference between her values and those of ordinary humans, he has not yet fully understood the underlying logic.

"Done. The planned rendezvous point is in the forest east of the royal capital... Hehe, I wonder if Aize will praise me~"

The pink-haired girl was simply thinking this.

----------

The knights led by Aize had a total of only about a hundred people, plus some carriages for transporting supplies and personnel.

It’s not small, but it’s not big either.

Apart from the unusually large number of war horses, it was at the level of a large caravan.

So, like an ordinary caravan, you can just stay, eat and get supplies at hotels and inns along the way.

It eliminates the troublesome needs of setting up camp and logistics like a regular army.

Not only can it save a lot of energy, but it also greatly improves the team's concealment.

In just two days, the team arrived near Limok.

As the central city of the kingdom, located on a major transportation route, it should theoretically be able to become a transit point for caravans and trade and thus prosper.

But in fact, due to the misconduct and heavy taxes of the local lords, Rimok has been extremely depressed in recent years.

Aize knew this.

I have also made a lot of mental preparations for the absurd scenes I am about to see.

But unexpectedly, when they actually arrived at the small town near Limok, the situation was beyond their imagination.

Such a large town should be bustling as a distribution center for supplies for nearby villages and towns.

As a result, in broad daylight, all the shops were closed.

The streets were extremely deserted. At a glance, there was not a single person in sight.

The doubtful Aize asked the team to stay outside the town, and took Heidi, who insisted on following him, into the town to investigate.

The late spring breeze blew through the empty streets. It was quite warm, but now it made my scalp tingle.

The notice boards in the square were covered with wanted posters of Heidi, and even her name had not been changed.

In terms of practical effect, this is worthless and even risks exposing its purpose.

But the other party did it anyway.

Most likely it's to get Heidi's mentality.

But Heidi's facial features, hidden under the shadow of the hood, were unusually calm.

There was no noise or commotion, and apart from casting a contemptuous look at the portraits, there was no other reaction.

It was nothing like what Aize had imagined, the look of rage because the royal dignity was trampled upon.

Most likely, he had been tortured by these little tricks while fleeing to Tafia, so he was no longer surprised.

And it was at this moment that an elderly townsman was finally seen walking out of his house.

Aize quickly stepped forward and asked:

"Old man, we are businessmen from out of town, and we want to go to Limok to do business. May I ask... what happened here?"

Apparently not realizing there was someone outside, the old man froze for a moment, his eyes moving back and forth between Aize and Heidi.

He looked very nervous.

But because of this, he did not recognize Heidi's face, which was the same as the one on the wanted poster.

After looking around for a while to make sure there was no one else around, he quickly said:

"Limok? You can't go there now!"

"Oh? What happened?"

The old man looked around for a while, then lowered his voice and said:

"You outsiders might not know this, but our Lord of Mok was killed a few days ago! They say his head was chopped off!"

The lord was killed?

How many days ago?

Aize suddenly thought of something and looked at Heidi subconsciously.

I just saw the muscles on her face twitch.

Before Aize could speak, Heidi stepped forward and asked impatiently:

"And then, after the lord died, has the situation here improved?"

The old man shook his head angrily:

"How can it be improved? Look at this place, what has it become?"

Chapter 55 A sense of security

The old man shook his head in anger, looked around again to make sure no guards were approaching him, and then spoke slowly and quietly:

"After that bastard lord was killed, his bastard son succeeded him. I heard he's a kid not even ten years old. Think about what his father was like. Is this guy any good?"

"Look, his own father was killed, and he was so happy that his face was about to be crooked with laughter, but he still did it in the name of revenge!"

"They're trying to catch the assassin, and they're forcing us to stop all our daily work and wait for his guards to search every house!"

"These damned people aren't here to arrest people, they're clearly here to steal things! Sigh, the town is slowly becoming like this..."

The core of the aristocratic system is bloodline inheritance.

It has nothing to do with whether it is suitable or not. As long as one is sitting in that position, even if he is a pig, he must take over the throne when necessary.

As a result, this is what happens naturally.

A bad kid raised by a bad young master, a guy who doesn't even have a straight line in the word "three views", suddenly holds power, so it is natural that there will be chaos.

In addition, the generals, housekeepers, and wives of previous lords who are supposed to be responsible for educating the young master will most likely add fuel to the fire for their own interests.

The result is a short-term burst of nausea.

Heidi, who obviously hadn't thought of this, looked extremely ugly all of a sudden.

His lips were trembling and he couldn't even utter a single decent word.

Aize glanced at her, shook his head, looked at the old man again, and asked:

"So...what's the situation in Limok's main city now?"

“Worse!”

The old man slapped his thigh and said angrily:

"I heard from the young people who escaped that now anyone who goes to Rimok and can't pay will be arrested as an assassin! Sigh, I really don't know how we're going to get through this!"

After saying that, he looked at Aize and Heidi again, shook his head and said:

"Anyway, this place is no longer hospitable. Those of us who can escape have already left. You should leave as soon as possible and don't cause any trouble!"

After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and ran into the alley, and his figure disappeared from the sight of the two people.

And Heidi's body softened immediately at this moment.
