Chapter 202

Chapter 202

Not only was it the most dangerous position, but it was also disadvantageous in terms of her job. She was expected to become an outsider, but her skills had not yet been verified. In other words, in Leeha’s view, Ram Hwayeon could be instantly killed by an assassin.

It was natural for Leeha to be worried.

After hearing Leeha’s words, Ram Hwayeon did not say anything. Leeha, who expected her to make a fuss about him ignoring her again, tilted his head.

-Are you listening?

-......Y-Yes. I’m listening. I understand. I’ll be careful.

The reply was an extremely modest answer. Ram Hwayeon’s slightly trembling voice quietly echoed in Leeha’s head.

-That’s good to hear. Okay, do your best.

Did she feel better all of a sudden? Leeha thought that Ram Hwayeon’s personality was unpredictable, and whispered towards the border of the eastern wall. No, he was about to.

If only he didn’t receive a knife-like whisper on time.

-East-west-

-Eastern wall, perimeter, clear.

-Spe-

-There’s nothing special. There are 12 detect scrolls remaining. Looks like I have to resupply tomorrow.

-You’re so thorough. Okay. I will contact Jacheong-nim.

-Copy that.

-Ah, what about Biyemi? Are you okay with him?

He did not get a reply from Kidd. Leeha was worried for a while, but he was sure that nothing would happen.

‘It’s better to focus on the wall without saying a word. Biyemi and Kidd were both in the 1st and 2nd place for strange conversation methods.

It was a wonder whether a conversation could happen if the two of them talked for a while.

Leeha whispered to the last team.

-Kijeong-ah, what’s the situation?

-I-I’m nervous, hyung. It’s the first time I will see the king. Did you see, hyung? When I entered the door earlier, wow- the NPCs were extremely solemn.......

– I understand. Don’t get excited. Tell me if there’s anything special. And why are you nervous? Nara-ssi will tell you everything anyway.

The two people who would directly guard the king were Kijeong and Shin Nara.

Hearing Kijeong’s trembling voice, Leeha laughed softly.

‘Anyway, nothing big has happened yet.’

Leeha drew the last check mark on the map.

All the teams consisted of two or more people, so that they could be prepared for any emergencies, and they had secured a position to monitor both the inside and the outside of the fortress walls in the east, west, north, and south.

And Leeha placed the tanks Templar Kijeong and Shin Nara near the king in case they missed anything.

It was the best choice to the extent that everyone present, including Kidd, admired it.

-Nothing special- no, wait a minute. Someone has come.

-Who?

-Shin Nara is greeting him. Reddish-brown clothes. Robe? A magician? It’s a very old NPC. The name-

Kijeong relayed the situation with Shin Nara in real time. Leeha paid attention to the front for a moment, and then concentrated on the whisper again.

Among them, there were those related to common interests, and there were those that had developed from minor disputes between guild members in hunting grounds. I thought I had gotten used to it after going through a lot of things, but....

‘It was just children playing. It’s like a political situation in the real world. Especially that old man...” Kijeong shook his head as he looked at Lotzac. A high-level skill that provoked the opponent while taking the appropriate action for one’s interest at the same time!

It was as if he had seen a side of the faction fight that could only be seen in movies or dramas.

Kijeong hurriedly told Leeha the situation.

‘It was a situation about being confident about traps.’

Leeha frowned at the tower in the Central Palace. The locations of the traps were roughly marked on the map that Shin Nara gave them.

‘He is provoking her to try the traps herself? No, is it a trap?’

It was a provocation to make it clear that the traps worked properly, and at the same time cause the annoying ‘Shin Nara crew’ to die.

And there was one thing he could think of. How to operate the trap.

‘It means that it is possible to turn the trap on or off at a specific time or location, or they can set the trap to not react to specific people. Anyway, we can’t trust Lotzac. We should be careful, we can not trust him to stop the assassins from breaking in.’

Others wouldn’t have ever thought this far.

However, Leeha knew another piece of information they did not know.

Because he saw. Because in the records related to the second Human-Demon War, I clearly saw it written to be careful of Lotzac.

‘He is the one who kept the Three Musketeers’ surrender to the Demon King a secret. I don’t know why, but it must be something he’s hiding. I think it’s supposed to be a black growth inside his body. So what is the situation now? Was he openly hostile to Shin Nara and persuaded the commander of the guard? If Lotzac had planned that......

He sounds like the culprit. He is the main instigator of the king’s assassination.

However, it was only Leeha’s conjecture. A conjecture that started from the assumption that ‘Lotzac is a suspicious person’. In reality, there was no evidence.

If there was evidence, Nara-ssi would have turned it over it already.’

According to Kijeong, Shin Nara was getting beat up with words by the high-ranking NPC’s.

What could be the reason as to why she was putting up with it, with her brash personality? Because there was no evidence.

‘The evidence is also vague. The assassination suspect has been confirmed to be Petyr. That means-’

The NPC of Fibiel’s Royal Palace, the Chief Royal Magician Lotzac commissioned the user, Petyr. It was almost impossible to find anything that could be called evidence in that situation.

“Hmmm......”

“What makes you think that?”

“Waah? Bobae-ssi?”

“Your eyelashes are long.”

Beside him, Bobae was looking at his face. Her face was so close that Leeha got startled.

“W-what are you doing? Hurry and stand up.”

“Yes, yes. By the way, it’s already been ten hours. The sun went down a while ago, and I’m bored because I am only looking at the air. It’s rather fun to watch the NPCs passing by the king’s office. I’m going to die if I only look at those kinds of scenery.”

Bobae smiled brightly, stretched out, and headed to the other window. The sight she had been looking at all day today appeared without a single change.

“Still, you have to be patient until today. From tomorrow onwards, Bobae-ssi will be doing other jobs.” The most important thing to watch out for was boredom and familiarity.

If one kept looking at the scenery just now, it was rather difficult to find anything different. Even those who have been on guard in the military can hardly stand on duty for 10 hours straight

Not to mention experts who were looked up to by others in Middle Earth, who were only civilians in real life.

“Something different? What?”

“I asked Nara-ssi for something else. To ask Lotzac to use large-scale magic to search the inside of the royal palace on a large scale. But it doesn’t seem to have worked, so we’ll have to find them ourselves. No, to be precise, Bobae-ssi will.”
