Tomb Survival: Evolve from Skeleton

Dilly doesn't know Kress's partnership with Jesse Horton yet.

This also caused Dilly to have a hint of suspicion in line with her cautiousness when Narco suddenly proposed that the Jesque family would hire them by name.

but……

Fortunately, Kress covered it up in time, with almost no flaws, and Narco didn't intend to delve into it, so this was quickly ignored.

Narco now takes Kress and Dilly's "Dawn" very seriously.

Especially after Kress won the "Knight Tournament" held by the Jesk family, although Kress was only the runner-up in the final, but...

After the game, all the people were scolding Lancer, but they didn't know who was the first to put forward another opinion. At the same time, "Silver" Lancer's heroic blood and miserable life experience was also exposed.

It seems that some kind of force is specially controlling the rumors, Lancer has been created as a heroine!The Kingdom's first true female knight!
And Kress, who played against him, is even called "the model of knights."

Cavaliers should pay attention to glory, but not chasing fame and fortune.In order to protect Lancer and prevent the opponent from being completely abolished because of the battle, Kress gave up the title of "the first knight in the kingdom" that might win the tournament.

After that, the competitive battle between Kress and Lancer was once called a good story in the kingdom.

Chivalry shines brightly under the two of them.

However, Kress knew that he was controlling the transformation of the original rumors—the woman Lancer who was suspected of deceiving the monarch, and Kress who was suspected of ignoring the rules of the game and wanton suspension—into a representative of chivalry.

Behind this huge change in rumors is the figure of the power of the Jesker family...

Because they still need the strength and...reputation of Kress and Lancer.

After giving Dilly a brief account of how she accepted Jeske Horton's invitation to the banquet, and how she cooperated with Lancer and the Jeske family, Dilly quickly sorted out the current situation.

She felt Kress' move was the right one.

Almost at the same time when Kress and Dilly returned to the "Golden Shining Hall", the guards of the Jesker family brought a letter about Jesker Horton, one of the six nobles of the kingdom.

That was a letter on how to work with Kress et al...

……

Outside the white stone window bars.

When the last ray of natural light disappeared, the entire city of Hesmu would be shrouded in deep night.

Kress quietly looked at the white paper envelope in front of him. It was white paper made by the kingdom's unique paper-making technology. It was easy to write and carry, and it was one of the common paper types in the kingdom.

And after delivering the task entrusted by the master, the guards of the Jeske family also lowered their heads slightly, and left the "Golden Shining Hall" without saying a word.

After a quick glance at the contents of the letter in his hand, Kress crumpled it up with one hand.

Dilly, who was leaning against the wall of the room, quietly watched Kress's movements, and couldn't help but say——

"What about Jesc?"

Following Dilly's question, a flame appeared in Kress's hand, and after using the first-level magic: flame (flame) to completely destroy the letter paper, Kress replied——

"Jesc Horton wants us to go to Yayu City to assist one person to complete the task."

"Who?"

"The head of the 'Cold Iron' mercenary group—Kieran Vader."

Kress' words were simple and calm, but when Dilly heard them, she felt the deep meaning in them.

"The Jesker family is still in contact with 'Cold Iron'. You must know that 'Cold Iron' is a mercenary group that has cooperated with the Fritz royal family for a long time. It is known as 'King Fritz's Saber'."

Dilly's words were obviously surprised, but they were said in an extremely calm tone.

Kress overlooked the night view of Hesmu City through the window, and said lightly: "There is nothing to be surprised about. Aren't we, as adventurers on the surface, secretly cooperating with the Jesk family?"

"Actually, I'm a little curious..."

Dilly's sudden tentative question made Kress a little puzzled, and he turned to look at Dilly, "Why are you curious?"

"Why did you decide to cooperate with the Jesk family? Being threatened is not your style..."

Dilly's question was on point.

Kress, who had been answering fluently, suddenly stopped for a moment...

"Because I have my own plans too, Dilly."

After all, before Dilly could say anything, Kress changed the subject and said——

"We have to go, now every time we stay in Hesmu City, we will be more threatened..."

As Kress said, he had already put away all his belongings at the same time.

Dilly knew that Kress didn't want to reveal his plan now, so there was no need to keep asking.

"Let's go first, how will the Jesque family respond?"

"do not worry……"

Facing Dilly's question, Kress looked very confident. The long sword around his waist was unsheathed, and several sword auras were drawn in the air...

On the wall in front of Kress and Dilly, several sword marks intertwined with some imperceptible logic.

"Jesc Horton's spies will tell him about our movements after seeing this."

……

In addition to inviting the "Dawn" who hired Kress, Jesc Holden also hired several mercenary groups and adventurers from other places...

It is said that it was because Jeske Horton was also interested in the "underground tomb" on the Nakatz Plain that had made the Holy Light Temple and "Cold Iron" some time ago, so he recruited some mercenaries so vigorously.

And the Mithril-level adventurer "Silver" Lancer was also invited by Jeske Horton.

Jesc Horton gave Lancer the same task as Kress - go to Yayu City to assist Kieran Vader.

In the huge Jeske family mansion, Lancer was wearing a delicate white long coat, which was one of the common casual clothes in the kingdom. His brown, near-red mid-length hair was coiled up high, making him look extraordinarily sharp.

Lancer propped his hands on a long table, his eyes scanned the map in front of him, and finally landed on a place marked by a red dot - Yayu City.

"Kress Knight, will also go to this place? Right."

"Jie Jie Jie, yes."

Responding to Lancer's question was an abrupt and unpleasant voice.

A cloud of black mist flowed, Modal appeared in front of Lancer, and continued——

"'Silver White' Lancer, you are much more beautiful than the old man imagined."

Lancer didn't answer the guy with the weird brown mask in front of him, but just looked at the guard of the Jeske family who brought him the mission information of Jeske Horton.

The guard who was watched by Lancer couldn't help bowing his head slightly, and replied respectfully——

"Yes, Miss Lancer. And Mr. Modal will go with you."

After hearing the affirmative answer from the other party, Lancer couldn't help but flash a gleam of joy on his face.

but……

I don't know whether it was after hearing that the other party called him "Miss", or because he knew the reason why Modal would also go, Lancer's whole face changed and revealed a gloomy look.
