"This time in the face of Oberg's attack, defeating the opponent without attrition of the team is really a big victory

!" "Let's have a good meal, everyone!" Not

long after dealing with Barbara, Gozzi came to the mountains to find Chu Yufan and the others because he was a little uneasy. Upon learning that Oberg's killer would not act alone, the group hurried to the town's hotel, where they learned that Cornelia had defeated another killer.

The danger in the town has been lifted, so everyone stops by to celebrate the victory by having a meal at the hotel.

"Sister Cole, what's wrong with you? I don't think you have eaten much. Tsukushi asked, eating.

"Huh...... I don't have much appetite......" Cornelia explained with a smiling expression.

"Red Hitomi doesn't seem to have much appetite, and it's rare to eat so little. Green also said when he saw that the red pupil was not the same as he usually ate.

"......" Red Hitomi didn't speak, because she was the first person to find out that Cornelia was fighting, so she also knew who the enemy was.

"Whew! I'm full, go out and breathe. Cornelia stood up and walked outside.

"What's wrong with Sister Cole?" Bonnie looked at Cornelia's back, and even as a fool, she could tell that Cornelia had something on her mind.

"I'm full, I'm going to breathe. Guy couldn't sit still, too, and stood up and walked outside.

———

"Alas!" Cornelia sighed as she looked at the night sky.

"Why sigh?, Cornelia?" asked Guy, who had come along.

“...... The killer who fought me...... It's a friend I just met here......" Cornelia hesitated for a moment, but still said it.

"That's right......" Guy whispered.

"Things in the world are sometimes so helpless. Obviously they are friends, but in the end they become enemies. However, even so, you can only insist on living, because there are other people who care about you, waiting for you to come back......

""...... How can you say such a serious thing?" said Cornelia, a little surprised.

"I've always been serious, especially with you......" Guy said as he looked at Cornelia.

“...... I'm sorry

, I ......" "I know, you're in love with that guy. That guy is indeed very strong, so strong that even Nahasiu's enemies can be killed by him in an instant. But I'm not going to give up easily!" said Guy, looking at Cornelia earnestly.

"Alright, without further ado, I'll go first!" said no more, Guy went straight back to the hotel.

"Whew!" Cornelia breathed a sigh of relief, in the battle with Taeko, she had been recalling what Chu Yufan had said. It's as if he's always fighting beside him, and it's a wonderful feeling.

"I don't know, does he like people older than him?"

———

early the next morning, Gozzi led everyone out of the town. Oberg's important combat force was killed here, and the other party would inevitably send many people to investigate.

Now is not the time for a large-scale conflict with the other side, so let's stay out for the time being.

"It's safe here for the time being, you can rest here for a while, and then get ready to get back to work. Gozzi led the group into the mountains again and said.

"Hmm...... There shouldn't be anyone else here, right?" Chu Yufan asked solemnly.

"Don't worry, I've confirmed it again and again, there's no problem, and isn't there still you?" Gozqi looked at Chu Yufan with a peculiar gaze, and after investigation, he confirmed that the old woman who attacked Nahaxiu and them at that time was Barbara Oberg.

Even if such an opponent makes a move himself, I am afraid that he will have to be entangled for a while to win, but Chu Yufan can kill it in seconds. This made Gozqi glad that his original decision was right, but also had a strong fear of Chu Yufan.

Bidding farewell to Gozzi, everyone stayed here for a while. After two weeks of peace, Gozzi came on a new mission.

"This time you need to go abroad, to the Land of Putora. "

Putola, located in the valley of the northwestern part of the empire. Since ancient times, it has been a place for long-distance caravans to be replenished, and because of the difficult terrain, it has not been occupied by foreign peoples from the north or west.

"Putola is a barren area dominated by rocky land, so it is impossible to farm, and it is useless to occupy the land. However, due to its long history, there are tombs of ancient emperors buried there. And the people of Putora may also respect this emperor very much, and often pay homage to the royal tomb. Gozzi explained.

"It's a shame they didn't rob the tomb. Green sighed.

"There are grave keepers there. Gozqi's eyes flashed with a chill.

"Bring down a curse of death on those who are near the king's tomb...... Tomb keepers are all people who use strange witchcraft. But then that's the point, as there are rumors that the treasures enshrined in the tombs were stolen from the Empire, including the Emperor's Tools, which are unknown. "

Did you steal it from the Empire?" asked Red Hitomi, confused.

"With that barren place, I must have done my best just to prepare tributes and the like. I don't think they look like they're particularly well funded. Gozzi replied.

"More important than value is heart!" Boney complained.

"Since it is a respected emperor, then you must consider the issue of face when paying tribute. Nahasius replied.

"I always feel a little weird...... Chu Yufan listened to what Gozqi said, and always felt that something was wrong.

"The empire quickly sent someone to investigate, after all, it is too much to say that a guilty verdict is based on hearsay. But what I didn't expect was that the investigators of the empire were directly killed by the grave keepers. And not only that, but a few weeks later, the family of the investigator in the imperial capital was also killed. "

"Stealing other people's things and mutilating other people's lives, I can't say anything." Gozzi snapped his fingers and continued.

"All the staff went to Putora, defeated all the tomb keepers, and brought back all the treasures in the mausoleum by the way. This is your task this time, and the treasure empire in hand has decided that it will be used to improve people's livelihood, which can be described as a great achievement!"

"Do you even have to go abroad? The difficulty of the task is really getting higher and higher. Green said.

"It's the first time I've been abroad, and I'm still a little nervous. Tsukushi said.

“...... Then again, we weren't responsible for this mission in the first place. Another Empire-trained assassination squad has already left for the local ......," Gozzi said again.

"Black Hitomi?!" Red Hitomi suddenly became nervous.

"After that, the assassination team sent a distress signal, and even the bald man couldn't bear to ask for help, it seems that the situation is quite bad. Gozzi said solemnly.

———

on the other side, in a cave deep in Putola.

"No, Balur is dead...... a girl who looks a little similar to the red pupils, but with short hair and black pupils, is taking care of her teammates, but her teammates are still dead.

"I didn't expect the grave keeper to be so strong, we need to evacuate as soon as possible. "There is also a man and a woman in the cave, the man is named Natara, and the woman is named Silver, both of whom are Black Hitomi's companions.

At this time, the three of them were already trapped in Putora.
