Our trip was really smooth until we left the city and entered the second city, as if the pleasantness provided by the bronze statue of Catherine had be a buff.


    To be honest, I thought the lord of the first city would do something extra, but there was no reaction, either he thought my going east was a bluff and sent troops elsewhere, or he just decided to stay still.


    After a week went by like that, I felt a little better as if I really went on a winter pic this time.


    Yeah, that means I shouldn’t have felt that way. It was a cliché.


    “Go to Eldmia.”


    While we were having dinner in the second city, a middle-aged man approached and called my name.


    Even in the cold winter, he didn’t wear thick clothes to keep warm, but rather to keep his dignity in mind. The rather expensive-looking clothes, neatly trimmed beard, and hair looked like they were far from fighting. Behind him, who has a strict and serious face, stands a smiling young man with the exact opposite look.


    Unlike the middle-aged, the guy with the appearance and muscles, far from desk work, showed me the leisure to greet me with a slight nod of his head as soon as my eyes met.


    “…even if I try to understand the lives of my humans, I find this disrespect unbearable.”


    But surprisingly, it was Celebians who responded to their appearance.


    Surprised by his muttering with his mrs clenched, he turned his head to see that not only he, but also the other elves looked at the man with three hundred eyes raised and their teeth clenched together. However, the big guy still shrugged and shrugged, and the middle-aged man who apanied him took a chair and sat down next to me without paying any attention to the elves and listened as he wanted to start talking.


    “Your behavior crossed the line. Did the West seem funny?”


    There is no hostility in the eyes that look at me. It’s not even a threat, it’s just taking an attitude close to notification.


    At the same time, he was a strange pup who believed he was safe now.


    “Your behavior also crossed the line? Am I being ridiculous?”


    At that moment, the middle-aged man’s forehead was suddenly distorted, but it wasn’t as crumpled as the wounds I got from his actions, so I grabbed him by the back of his head and mmed him into the table.


    – Quaang!


    “Keah!”


    If a man in the face without a chance to understand why raises his head in a hurry, nosebleeds may be sprayed onto the food, so take advantage of the brief moment of pressing as it is to take advantage of the reaction of the surroundings. It was only natural that the surroundings would be quiet for a moment since there was a loud noise, but the guy standing behind the man rubbing his nose on the table was reacting differently than expected.


    The middle-aged man, who didn’t show a proper reaction until the moment I reached out and grabbed the back of his head, was, as expected, an ordinary person with no fighting skills. So struggling to die in pain right now wouldn’t be acting. The problem was that the guy standing behind me was justughing without any restraint, even though he clearly followed my actions.


    As if this guy’s well-being doesn’t matter. I naturally turned my gaze to the man and asked.


    “I don’t know who that bastard is, but if he’s an elf hunter, even if hees blind, he’ll just read the atmosphere and hit him. What are you bastards doing?”


    “Ah! I-I came here as an envoy! Do you think I’ll be safe even after doing such an ignorant thing!!”


    “Is it savvy to bring an elf hunter right in front of the elves? Besides, what kind of envoy?”


    Even when the guards were rude, theyughed or passed it off with a sigh. The one who burns hostility to that extent is not a family enemy, but an elf hunter.


    However, the famous elf hunter and envoy dressed in clothes are so famous that the elves show obvious hostility. In my experience, I can’t quite understand whatbination this is?


    “If I kill myself, the signal goes right through this artifact!!”


    Suddenly, I raised my hand and put the ring in, which made me even more unhappy.


    It reminds me of Rudra’s dog. I wondered if I had believed it, so I checked it through the Magical City, and it was clear that something was working.


    “That’s really interesting information, but not exactly what you need right now.”


    I was worried that if I took one or two more shots, the main point woulde out, so I tightened my grip and the man shouted vigorously.


    “You started first! Eldmia Ega! Did you think that the nobles whose reputation had been damaged would stay still! We have already finished your background investigation! The Empire is not looking after you anymore!”


    “…what?”


    what bullshit is this? Will the empire watch my back?


    Since when? Am I the only one who doesn’t know?


    It’s the first time I’ve heard of it, so I gave him a chance to loosen his grip and speak honestly, but he seemed to think that I had lowered my head after hearing what he said, and he smiled triumphantly while bleeding from his nose and tears.


    “Ha! You didn’t know! The Imperial conste located in Velhondra Kingdom announced four days ago! You have nothing to do with the Empire, and the Empire will not intervene no matter what happens! You are now…


    ” Make it sound natural.”


    Are you really crazy? Anyone who sees it will know that I have caught my weakness.


    It was so absurd that I grabbed the back of my head and filmed it on the table, and the elf hunter standing behind startedughing loudly with a deafening scream.


    “Puhaha! This is crazy! Isn’t it? Is the information I heard wrong?”


    “Where else did you pick up some fucking bullshit?”


    Since you didn’t deny what I said about being an elf hunter, that would be his job. There was no reason to keep the hunters of different races intact in the yard where even the ve hunters were displeased, but the moment they met, he went up to the killing department.


    To my question, the elf hunter responded by pointing at the Celebians who were unable to ept the situation.


    “Your name. And the requester’s exnation that there was an empire behind you, but it’s not anymore. And if I dispose of you, I’ll take those elves and sell them.”


    “I haven’t even seen the face of a bastard called the client, so why put someone else’s life on the checkout?”


    “Well? Wouldn’t it be okay if the requester were pigs who used their strength in a kingdom?”


    Perhaps if I were standing there, the big guy, who would have been at the same eye level, smiled and slightly bent his waist, then patted the back of the self-proimed envoy whose head was still pressed in my hand, and continued.


    “This was a polite warning. I didn’t like it, but the client said that the surprise attack was cowardly and covered his face. Is there anything special?”


    “I live my fucking life and I hear all the stupid stories. What are you talking about?”


    Perhaps he felt my sincerity, but he burst intoughter once again and continued to exin.


    “After notifying you through this friend, if you leave the city, it will be immediately attacked. Unfortunately, for now, it’s an ‘unofficial’ activity.


    “…So, the n was to cut off my belly and slowly iste it so that I could realize that I was on the verge of dying?”


    “You’re a smart friend.”


    While staring at the smiling guy with straight eyes, he removed his hand from the back of the self-proimed envoy’s head.


    “Kheuk! You’re like a savage! How can you be so ignorant!”


    “Don’t say shit. You’re saying this is a deration of war right now? If this isn’t a surprise attack, shouldn’t I know the name of the top of you guys who are targeting me?”


    “Ha! You dare…”


    “Choose your words well if you don’t want to hit me in the head again, right? He doesn’t seem to have any ns to stop me here, does he?”


    Let’s quickly cut our words and face the reality. He groaned and closed his mouth. Seeing as he didn’t open his mouth again, it seemed that he had no intention of giving out his name.


    While not revealing his name, no surprise attacks… If Ji had to move the troops himself, he would have been openly surprised. Iughed out loud, but decided to let it go.


    “Yeah, in a way, it’s a good choice.”


    “…what?”


    “Your bastard is an envoy, and it was a good decision toe here early. If you had been outside, both of you would have died on the spot.”


    It was so rude that he kicked the entire chair he was sitting on, and the self-proimed envoy flinched and fell backwards. The elf hunter standing behind me nced at her, looked at me with a puzzled expression, and opened her mouth again.


    “They’re both dead? Do you think you can kill me?”


    “You’re a stupid friend.”


    When I returned what he had said earlier, with the meaning of asking if I had to ask him to understand, his brows lost theirposure for a moment and wriggled. Your pride seems to be filthy.


    “…ha. I’ll tell you in advance, there’s a reason why your elf friends see me and grind their teeth?”


    “I understand even if you don’t tell me. I’m seeing you for the first time, and my teeth will gnash when I see your face, so go away. I can’t digest it if I eat something like that.”


    Of course, it doesn’t really break your teeth. It’s nothing but a provocation. His brow was openly distorted this time.


    “I don’t think you’ll die well.”


    But that was it. Perhaps he was the type to faithfully fulfill the request, he picked up the self-proimed envoy who had copsed on the floor and left the restaurant, and I quickly stuffed food in to finish the meal.


    “…what do you mean?”


    Celebian, who had been looking at me without a word while the people around me quietly noticed and spoke again, asked. It was a serious look on the world, but it wasn’t to criticize me. It was more like asking how to really act.


    “I’m going to kill you.”


    So I said it straight, and he pressed his temple and said.


    “You mean you know who that guy is?”


    “Should I know? He’s going to die anyway.”


    “…That guy is an ear hunter.”


    It was a Celebian who spoke solemnly, as if he were a person whose name should not be called, but unfortunately, there was no free space allocated to elf hunters or the like in my brain.


    “You may say so.”


    Then the other elves let out a deep sigh, and Celebian let out a short sigh and continued his exnation.


    “He’s been known as an elf hunter for 10 years. He almost destroyed a tribe in the western region, and the size and skill of the group can’t be ignored. Even if he alone, he’s stronger than a lot of Aura Experts, but he’s not even moving alone.”


    “Hmm, that’s great. I’ll be closing my business as of today.”


    “That…Wait, today?”


    After tearing off the bread and scraping thest remaining stew clean, I got up from my seat and looked around at Celebian and hispanions who were still looking at me with a puzzled expression, then nodded briefly.


    “today.”


    After using the magic poem, traces of the ring worn by the self-proimed envoye into view. It was blurry, but it was more like finding footprints in the forest, so it was worth doing more than I expected.


    The fact that they tried to hit me outside the city means they’re going out of the city like this, right? I know exactly where the enemy is, but I have no reason to leave it alone.


    “Why do you wait until tomorrow just because you’re pretty?


    Surprise is always right.
