Chapter 60: Eavesdropping

Meanwhile, while they were having a meeting outside the throne room, Grimm could be seen eavesdropping using magic around the room's door. He turned the iron structure in the king's room into a device used to hear.

He only changed the iron closest to the door because he was afraid that Edward would notice this.

Upon hearing the information that the kingdom also doesn't know the tavern massacre's real culprit, Grimm was disappointed.

"Ah, never mind, the kingdom really can't be counted on." He stops his magic, and at that moment, Grimm senses Edward's presence approaching.

Grimm hurriedly moves away from the door of the room, but his efforts are spotted by a servant. The servant who sees this is astonished by Grimm's behavior.

"Master Grimm, why don't you-"

Realizing this, Grimm heads straight for the servant and silences his mouth; he drags the servant through the other buildings and chants a memory replacement spell.

After he had finished dealing with the maid, he came out and saw Sanders in a terrible condition being carried by the guards.

"Looks like I missed something interesting." At that moment, he received information about the mouse; the mouse had entered the shop owned by the former noble Albin.

"Huh, not only his son but now him. Are we destined to be on different paths?" He then prepared to head for the shop that Brock was talking about.

.

.

.

Arriving at the shop, he looked around and found himself in a clothes shop. His arrival attracted a lot of attention, especially the shop owner and wife of Albin, Yasi.

"Hello, Mrs. Yasi. "

"Hello, Master Grimm, do you want to shop for clothes?"

When Yasi first saw Grimm come to her shop, she felt strange. Everyone knows that Grimm's wife died several years ago while giving birth to Matson.

So why did Grimm come to the women's clothing store?

"Ah, Mrs. Yasi, maybe you misunderstood here; I'm not here because I want to buy clothes, but want to check something."

Without Yasi's permission, he wanted to chant a spell but remembered something; he then turned to Yasin and asked.

"Is it okay for me to use the Rewind spell here?"

Generally, the Rewind spell can only be used by people who uphold justice; other than that, it is considered illegal because this spell can reveal almost all the secrets that happened on the previous day.

This spell can only be used by the 2nd Wizard / Witch or 1st Wizard / Witch who has approached the 2nd class realm.

With Grimm's reputation at stake, for Yasi just fine, she's also curious about what Grimm wants to see.

"Yes, Master Grimm."

"Thank you, Mrs. Yasin. "

After saying that, Grimm immediately activated the Rewind spell; suddenly, a giant mirror appeared above him.

Previously, when he asked for approval to use this spell, Yasi had also temporarily kicked out the people in her shop to not make a fuss.

...

In the glass reflection, they see that the shop is fine, customers were shopping, Elizabeth chooses clothes before finally, the shop door opens.

A person in black robes and red-haired maids come to Elizabeth. They see Elizabeth nod and shoo people in the shop.

Since this point of view could only be seen from above, they could not clearly see the maid's faces or the robed man.

Seeing this, Grimm's eyes lit up while Yasi was still wondering why Elizabeth had so dared to throw out her buyer without asking for her consent.

But the next picture made them disappointed; Elizabeth then led the man in the robe into the room.

"Ah…" Grimm accidentally groaned when he saw this. Meanwhile, Yasi became suspicious of Elizabeth.

After seeing that Grimm has finished his business, Yasi smiles at Grimm, who is in shock.

"Well, looks like you've got what you want; please come out; I want to take care of other important matters."

"Ah ... well, thanks again, Mrs. Yasi."

Although he was a little disappointed that he still didn't know the person's identity, there was a little bit of joy when he found that person interacting with Elizabeth.

…

After leaving the clothing shop, Grimm immediately contacted his subordinates via a magic message.

"Post a job in the guild to find out the background of the mysterious person who went to the guild yesterday, as for reward give it 50 gold coins.

That person only had one hand and was roughly 10-20 years old; he also brought a red-haired maid with him.

If anyone finds out, bring that person to me immediately. "

"Eh, sorry for my impudence, master, is it true that this job you are going to give… .em… isn't this too easy?"

Grimm sighed. "Just do it."

"Yes, master."

Grimm heads straight for the king's palace after contacting his subordinates, but he stops in his tracks.

"I forgot my relationship with the king was bad, hmm ... how about directly with Elizabeth?"

Thinking that, he shook his head and suddenly have an idea.

"I better tell Matson; it would be weird if I asking."

.

.

.

Meanwhile, at the Guild.

Katrina seemed bored waiting for the mercenaries who were choosing jobs from the board. Suddenly, she heard the guild door opening and saw one of the royal soldiers coming to her table.

"Welcome to the Raven Soul Guild, sir. Is there anything I can help with?"

The soldier looked nervous and hesitated before finally delivering the message from his master.

"My master, Grimm, wants to open a job for mercenaries who saw the mysterious man yesterday visiting this guild. That person only has one arm with roughly 10-20 years; he also brings a red-haired servant with him.

If anyone sees them directly come to my master mansion, they will receive 50 gold coins. "

Hearing this, the mercenaries sitting in the guild's living room became excited.

Easy work, rich reward!

They wanted to go straight to the soldier, but their path was blocked by the guild guards.

"I know that person !"

"Just yesterday, I met him!"

"He's lying; I even know his identity!"

Many mercenaries that were intercepted by the guards shouted, trying to get the soldier's attention. But all their effort were in vain as the soldier left without paying attention to them.

"Tch, you arrogant soldier!"

"Huh, I'd better take the job right away."

After the soldier left, the previously excited mercenaries headed straight for the guild board, waiting for the job that was discussed to appear.

The guild board has been set automatically, so the staff won't bother posting new jobs. Meanwhile, the way mercenaries receive them is by throwing their cards at the jobs.

After waiting for a while, the job had not yet appeared, confusing the mercenaries, and they turned to the receptionist's desk.

"Hey Katrina, where is the job?

"Yes, where?"

They saw Katrina was silent and daydreaming ever since hearing the request from the soldier. One of them could not stand it, came forward, and hit the table in front of Katrina.

"HEY !!"

…

Previously, when Katrina received the complete description of the soldier's job, she had the feeling that she had met the person she was talking about.

Her guess became correct when the soldier said that person last night to the guild and brought a servant, she wanted to immediately tell the soldier, but the words the soldier said next made her shut her mouth tightly.

So that person has something to do with Master Grimm?

Without realizing it, Katrina thought about the possibilities she thought were dangerous.

In fact, from the very beginning of Grimm's appearance, the Guild Master was already suspicious of Grimm and ordered her to investigate, but all of that was fruitless. Grimm's background, Grimm's nature, and what he does every day are all clean, making her even more suspicious.

And in the end, three years ago, the Guild Master told her to go to the villages near the beast territory borders, hoping to get Grimm's information while he was trapped.

Katrina was forced to accept her mission and got the result that no one had left that territory in the last 10 years.

She reported this to the guild master, after which the guild master recruited her to become a secret staff tasked with spying on Grimm, not only Grimm she also spied on Master Wizard and other Witches, including Leona.
