Chapter 90 Shadow (1)

“It must be Marshall. Austin told me. Rodrick’s family has been granted unofficial access, but Marshall is the only one who can actually enter the Academy.”

A while ago.

Henry spotted a suspicious move.

The strangely twisted Mana flow approached at a very rapid pace, and then settled where Henry and his party could be watched with enough distance.

“I’ll pretend I didn’t see it. You don’t think I found it. If it weren’t for these eyes, I’d never have found them.”

Melissa didn’t feel it, did she?]

Isn’t Marshall your friend? Didn’t Austin say he believed and followed?]

“Sir Melissa doesn’t seem to have noticed either. Austin also said he was an ally, but I honestly don’t know. I’m in a position.”

It wasn’t that I didn’t trust Austin.

Henry was a third-party relationship with Marshall, so he’s just a little more careful.

There was no harm in being careful considering the current situation.

“I wish I could see your face. At least we’ll know what the other person was thinking about.”

If you buy Marshall’s information, you can see which side he stands on, as Melissa’s information was purchased.

Also, the character’s propensity.

Having said that he was the head of the shadow, he could certainly expect considerable help if Marshall were his ally.

“But not now. I’ll put off talking to Austin after passing the gate.”

In order to purchase information, you must face the other person directly.

In this situation, calling out was nothing short of suicide.

“I’ll have to keep my distance. I’ll use the gate in 30 minutes after you guys move on. There’s a magic barrier around the gate…….”

Melissa was putting the plan together.

In fact, it was a simple story without a plan.

Henry and Austin use the gate first.

Melissa follows after a while, and then follows at a certain distance.

“Any chance that my movements will be discovered?”

“As far as possibilities are concerned, I’m sure there isn’t, but he’s not. You have a lot of pride in shadow.”

Austin smiled leisurely and explained.

Duke Rodrick seemed thorough, but at the root of his character was his pride in his own force.

He explained that he gained a similar image of perfectionism by doing it perfectly even if he was asked roughly.

also

I didn’t tell Melissa, but Rodrick’s eyes were also one of the reasons for that character.

He is able to see through his opponent’s lies.

No matter who he treated, he didn’t have to worry about being stabbed in the back, and his behavior became bold. What’s the result? Of course, it was always good.

“So you don’t have to worry. They won’t notice Lord Melissa’s presence.”

The shadow will focus solely on the target Austin, and the situation will end if Melissa appears at the right moment.

Melissa nodded her head.

“Let’s move.”

***

Henry and Austin headed for the Warpgate on the royal road.

Equipment that can go anywhere, all over the kingdom, if paid.

The wizard in charge of the gate smiled as if he had seen Henry often and led him inside.

“You can use Gate 16.”

I felt like I was being guided to an inn.

Warfgate wasn’t the only place where the giant magic team was.

There were dozens of spaces in it where tables and chairs were placed, each leading to a different place.

“Have a comfortable trip.”

The door is closed.

Space decorated with simple chairs and tables.

Sitting in a chair facing each other, Austin grinned with excitement.

“How long has it been since I’ve traveled?”

“Travel?”

“It’s a trip for me. I don’t know how it sounds, but I’ve never left the royal road since I was born. At least he fled to the Academy, so the king could wander inside.”

As a child, Austin was no better off in the family.

Only after gaining the status of a trainee at the Academy did he become eligible to travel around the royal road.

Austin grinned and jagged outside the door.

“Everyone must be busy. We’ll have to use the gate as a fake.”

Do you want me to follow you right away.

“You’re gonna leave a little space, right? They’ll think I’ll recognize them. I won’t touch you until you’re out of the gate.”

“What about Marshall?”

“Marshal? Oh, he’s probably been excluded from this mission. My father knows. What’s my relationship with Marshall?”

“Are you sure?”

“I’m sure, if you don’t intend to release me.”

[I don’t think he knows]][She always has a screw in her head] Isn’t that too much fun?Lol][But it’s so funny that you’re coming to the gate] Is it a far subway?[Laughing][Line 4! Target transferred!]

So many comments are coming up.

Henry was now able to extract ‘useful information’ from them.

The wizards’ judgment was like this.

Austin really doesn’t know. Austin’s confidence in Marshall is absolute.

What matters is the basis of trust.’

Just in the right place to ask questions, it was time.

The gate on the move was safer than the king’s residence due to its nature.

“At the Academy, Austin.”

“Huh?”

“There was someone watching us.”

Austin tilted his head.

“Who’s watching?”

“It was a secret. Lord Melissa was such a great benefactor that she didn’t notice it existed.”

“Then Henry, you…… ah.”

Henry pointed to his eyes, and Austin nodded convincingly.

“It’s possible, if it’s. Did you find out who it was?

“I don’t know that. I guess it’s Marshall.”

“It’s possible.”

“…didn’t you say you’d have ruled him out of this mission?”

How can you admit it so easily?

But Austin was a bit of a different acceptance.

“I would have been excluded from the mission. I’m sure you’re worried about it’s worrying. You don’t have to worry because I won’t intervene in any case.”

“You’re not interfering?

“There’s a constraint at stake. I can’t do anything that interferes with my mission. It’s only possible to watch, and it’s Marshall.”

[Why are you so calm?][Laughing][It really doesn’t sound like a big deal]

Something happened in a country.Lol][It’s none of my business]

“…what if you call?”

“But it’s not coming out. The mission is in progress. I’m the target, Marshall’s out. We’ll only be able to meet after this mission is over until after this mission.”

“What if I fail?”

“Oh, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, it’s important that the mission is over. It didn’t affect the mission.”

“If so, yes.

Henry accepted Austin’s story.

It was hard to understand in his own common sense, but Austin grew up in an environment beyond common sense anyway.

“This doesn’t seem surprising to Austin.”

Henry gave a short appreciation.

Fortunately

The wizards didn’t seem to feel much resistance to Marshall’s existence.

It’s just that Austin’s “set-up” was unique, or they were curious about the reaction afterwards.

“We’re here!”

Just in time, I heard the wizard’s cheerful voice. The door opened, and two people came out.

“Welcome to Heritz.”

The wizard with a kind smile welcomed. Henry asked carefully.

“Magician, may I ask you a question?”

“Of course!”

“Are there any more people currently moving to Heritz? The place of origin is Wang Do, and it’s about a dozen people.”

“I’m sorry.”

The wizard smiled with an embarrassed face.

“I’m not in a position to tell you other customers’ in other customers.”

“Oh, excuse me.”

“That’s all right, I’m just asking. So…… oh, are you with me?”

“What?”

“If you’re a party member, I can tell you. There’s no such rule.”

“No, I was just wondering if there were a lot of people visiting Heritz. Thank you.”

Henry stepped down. The wizard was kind to the end, even though he seemed curious.

As soon as he came out of the gate, Henry said.

“You’re really coming by gate. There seems to be no change in the number of people.”

How do you know that?]

“It’s thanks to the question of company. Actually, I’m not entirely sure, but I thought I wouldn’t have asked if there weren’t people using the gate.”

Actually, I just wanted to get a little more confidence.

It was then.

I saw something in Henry’s eyes as he turned toward the gate.

It was not an unfamiliar phenomenon. As soon as she left the building, Mana twisted strangely. It was obvious who hid himself in it.

“Marshal is here, too. The others aren’t there yet.”

“We’ll have to move early to get a good seat. So where are we going to wait?”

“Here.”

Henry pulled out the map and pointed out a point.

It was halfway between the mission site and the gate.

Like Heritz, which has the characteristic of “plains,” there were no obstacles that blocked the view.

“That’s nice. You’d rather walk, right?”

“I’m going to run.”

“Really?”

Austin grinned. Just like Henry, he concentrated Mana on his lower body. It certainly wasn’t a bad choice to widen the distance early on.

The shadows of Rodrick’s family, Melissa’s mind, will catch up with them in no time.

[Why is he so fast?]

I don’t need warp at this rate.]

The surrounding environment was quickly pushed back.

It was a simple run without a handful of finesse, but the speed was enough to break the wall if it hit an ordinary private house.

“Even the environment should be in our favor. If there’s even a little obstacle as you can see, it’s going to give them wings.”

The same was true of Austin.

He used to take lessons as an assassin, but he was way above the mark.

It would have been better to stand back to back with Henry in an open space.

And how far did it run?

Henry was able to get to the point he wanted.

It was a place where you could check for anything that was a few kilometers away if you allowed your vision.

“Marshal has arrived, too. Maybe this is why you can’t get close.”

It was clearly a great ability to hide in a place where there was nothing, but that ability also limited this distance.

Namely

The other assassins meant they would be caught in Henry’s eyes before they could reach there.

***

Marshall felt like his mouth was drying up.

It was Marshall who had devoted himself to Rodrick’s family all his life and had never thought of going against his master’s orders.

But only one.

The presence of Austin Rodrick aroused a strange feeling for Marshall.

He’s like a child, like a student.

It was a feeling that I never had against people in my life.

And now.

Marshall was even feeling scared.

Young master!

If I could, I wanted to run out right away. It was possible to send the approaching assassins back, and to cut off all of them by themselves.

Anyway, we can get Austin out of here.

The Duke would hold him accountable, but Marshall was not afraid. It wasn’t that big of a deal for Marshall.

But Marshall’s ideas did not lead to action.

When I was thinking against my master’s orders, my body wouldn’t move as if I were electrocuted.

Experience has discouraged me.

Marshall gave up. My fingertips were shaking. It was a price to defy orders.

I don’t think I can hold on.’

Marshall clenched his teeth. The image of Melissa, a royal knight, came to mind. Marshall knew what Austin had planned.

It was a foolish and arrogant plan.

It was wise to seek the help of a royal knight, but the problem was that he would hold out until he arrived.

Austin’s skill is only five minutes. Maybe a shorter time is the limit.

He’s not gonna be any different.

I saw a colleague standing next to Austin. Henry Camilton. He has achieved rapid growth recently, so he is full of confidence in his own skills.

Marshall glared at Henry with a displeased look.

It was obvious who led the plan. Confident Henry Camilton suggested, Austin would have accepted with half a waiver.

‘…already.’

The shadow was approaching. It was the distance Marshall could feel. I’m sure Austin and Henry didn’t notice……

“……?”

Marshall narrowed his brows.

Henry Camilton, the trainee who led Austin to this position, was staring exactly in the direction of the shadow approaching.
