696 Extraordinary edition Church of the King's City

- A man's point of view.

Look at the tons of paper on the table.

The magic circles I collected over my life.

However, more than half of the magic circle didn't move.

Because of the curse they put on this world.

But we're almost there.

Yes, one more.

Based on my experience so far, one more person will break the great magic of the magic circle they used in this world.

Once that happened, I could use any magic circle.

Almost there.

Con.

Here you go.

I see the person who came into the room, the pope who is on top of the church.

Hey, you look pale.

What happened?

Our people in Okanyi have completely lost contact with us.

Huh?

The village of Okanyi.

That village is conducting important experiments that will shape the future.

That is why I have sent an armed guard from the church of the king's city.

The villagers must have pulled in dozens and dozens of others.

And yet no one has contacted you?

"What happened?"

"From the last contact, the runaway monster was out of control." It's only a matter of time before the nobility comes to the village to find out about the Kusuri case and get caught. "

Uncontrollable?

Until now, we have repeated small-scale experiments, but there have been no reports of failure.

And yet you failed?

Speaking of which, we've increased the number of monsters in this experiment.

You couldn't control it because of that?

Damn it.

Are we going to start over with the experiment?

What is an aristocrat?

“He was one of the aristocrats involved in the buying and selling of musli. He went to Okanyi Village to outrun the others.”

The aristocrats are in sight.

That's why I told you not to go to the village, but I've warned you many times, but it was in vain.

"Keep an eye on the other nobles." Don't do anything extra. "

Yes.

So, what happened to that stupid nobleman?

I'll kill you.

"It's missing."

"Missing?"

“Yes, I heard from the village, but I don't have any further sightings.”

You ran away from me?

Or were you attacked by a monster?

No, they're spending money on monsters, so they're unlikely to be attacked by monsters.

"Find it. It's highly probable that he escaped."

If I find him, I'll kill him.

Got it.

"Listen to those who have returned from Okanyi Village." Bring it to me. "

We need to know how the muslims were found and what the nobles did.

"There's no one there."

- What? What?

Is anyone here?

If you found out about Gusuri, you must have been caught, right?

“Yes, a separate message came from the Vigilante and Adventurer's Guild in Okanyi Village.”

The last contact was probably from the church.

The other one was from a secret detective I had sent in.

Speaking of which, she said she had completely lost contact.

Does that include a detective?

Have you lost contact with the detective?

The last thing I heard was that the vigilante was moving.

So something happened to the detective, too?

Only me, the Pope, and two others know about the detective.

It is not possible at this stage that the popes have betrayed me and given me information.

I still think I'm worth it.

Nevertheless, I didn't expect to hear from the secret service anymore.

Could it be that

The detective hasn't come back?

Yes.

You should think we're caught.

Well, it's impossible to extract information from him.

If they got caught, they'd be dead.

That's what I ordered.

What about the people who were watching Okanyi Village?

Instructions were given not to enter the village, but to keep watch from the forest.

They must be looking at something.

Besides, they've got other orders.

“We've heard from them. However, the adventurers only come in and out of the village, and no one on this side comes out."

That's ridiculous!

How long has it been since you contacted me?

"It's the 8th."

Eight days?

It's been so long, has it?

“Yes, I wanted to report it immediately, but I didn't know where you were.”

Oh, you couldn't report me because I was in a place you couldn't reach.

It was a bad time.

I can't believe this is happening.

If it's been eight days, the escort has already begun, right?

“Usually, but for some reason no one has been escorted.”

What's going on?

Beyond the nobility's involvement in the case, there is an inquiry in the capital.

Not all of them, but some of them would have been escorted to the capital.

No one's coming out of it?

“That's creepy. What's going on?”

There were many important people in that church.

Therefore, he instructed the sentinel to "recover the church officials during the escort if they were captured."

I don't think we're going to miss the lookout, because it's supposed to be working.

You haven't been escorted yet?

No, we should be escorting important people as soon as possible.

Is it possible that the guards in the forest have found out?

Huh?

That's possible...

If they know they have guards, but they leave them there, they're being used.

Haha

Vigilantes and Adventurer's Guilds in Okanyi Village can't do this perfect job.

Probably, other tissues are moving.

There they are again.

Is it the king's dog?

The king's dog.

I don't know who said that, but that's what they call us.

"Can't you still grab their tails?" That's right. You said you were successful in acquiring someone who was assisting the King, right? What information did you get from the assistant? "

"I'm sorry, but the king's assistant doesn't know anything about dogs either. I told them to look around, but so far nothing has come out.”

You're hiding well.

"Keep checking. There's got to be something connecting us to them."

No more than the king commands.

Yes.

By the way, didn't you say there was a fortune-teller in Okany Village who escaped?

“Yes, but I was unable to confirm the escapee because I lost contact along the way.”

The number of fortune-tellers is dwindling.

If he's a fled fortune-teller, he won't regret failing to confirm it.

No, we can still chase him.

"As a lookout... no, send someone to find the fortune-teller." Instruct the guards to search the village and come back. "

Now that they're on the move, it's impossible to follow them after they've been captured.

Got it.

"Back off."

When the door closes, there is a big sigh.

I can't believe they sniffed us out.

However, if we check the church in Okanyi, we won't be able to reach this far.

"There's only one more."

Whoever it is, I won't let you get in the way.
