I like traveling the most

Taking refuge with Her Royal Highness the Princess is much simpler than Marquis Rebuen imagined.

You don’t have to show loyalty and you can still get benefits.

Is there such a good thing?

However, he knew very well that the price had been paid by his brother, so he would not shamelessly take credit for his own efforts.

"So, I... no, I am from the Rebuen family. Can I help Her Royal Highness in any way?"

"Except for the experimental fields, there are none for the time being."

Lin knew very well that his brother wanted to share some tasks for him, but he really didn't need his help now. Instead of exposing his identity as a werewolf and turning sides and being alerted by the two factions, it would be better to continue pretending to be a bat and eat from both ends.

"You're right, I was too hasty."

Marquis Rebuen understood immediately.

The Marquis is still very shrewd, but because his younger brother is working under the monster princess, he can't see the current situation clearly and has become impatient.

Then, he asked:

"So Lin, what are you going to do next?"

"I'm going to a whorehouse."

"Um."

……Um? ? ?

"What did you say?"

He responded subconsciously, then froze.

Did you hear it wrong? Why did you hear the word "prostitute"? Rebuen Hou admitted that his mind stopped at this moment.

Could it be that his brother is finally interested in this aspect? Indeed, Lin was almost twenty years old, and it was normal to be interested in such things. It would be better to say that it was much later than he thought.

Seeing the expression on Marquis Leibuen's wish to grow his family, Lin quickly explained: "That's not the case, brother, this is the instruction of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Is Her Royal Highness having fun so much?

"Brother, I feel malice."

But from the micro-expression of Marquis Rebuen, Lin knew that he must have misunderstood.

"Because the Eight Fingers are a dark organization that controls most of the forces in the kingdom. They are a hindrance to the Axis Cult's progress, so in order to reduce their power and give a head-on blow to the nobles who secretly assist them."

"Hmm...I see."

After a brief thought, Marquis Rebuen could understand the hidden purpose. By the way, the Rayburn family has no collusion with Eight Fingers. Rather, he is hostile to all the dark organizations that are secretly stirring up and reducing the power of the kingdom.

"That's it, I'm leaving first."

"Well, be safe."

Under his brother's concerned instructions, Lin waved his hand, walked out of the study coolly, and gently closed the door.

As for bodyguards and guards, Lin doesn't need them. To be honest, there is no one stronger than Lin in the entire Leibuen family. In this regard, Hou Leibuen is also powerless.

After leaving the study, he turned around and saw the maid standing on the edge of the corridor, waiting quietly.

Lin raised his eyebrows.

The two of them did not speak. They went to the corner room on the third floor one after another, opened the yellowed books, and opened the protective barrier.

"What's wrong, "Yue"."

"Yes, the information on the person Mr. Lin ordered to find has been roughly sorted out."

"Sebas? And generally...is this description a bit vague?"

He took the information compiled by the maid and began to read the text carefully. From a smile at the beginning to indifference later, to a frown at the end.

There is very little information about Sebastian.

First of all, the origin of Sebastian is unknown. The first information was that he checked into a hotel and got angry because his eldest daughter was dissatisfied with the accommodation conditions. Then he found a certain coachman to drive a carriage to the royal capital. However, the coachman had evil intentions and teamed up with the thieves to block the road and rob them. Although the above did not say what the result was, I guess they were all wiped out. After all, Sebastian arrived in the royal capital safely.

It's nothing more than a classic plot of a stupid thief with no brains who wants to rob when he sees the butler and the eldest lady, and then kicks him to death.

Although the plot of the old butler teaching the fool is very satisfying, more important issues still lie ahead.

That is, their origins are unknown.

It would be fine if it were just like this, but the place where they came and where the thieves disappeared was on the outskirts of the forest not far from the fortress city, and not far from there was the battlefield where the Theocracy fought against vampires.

And judging from their route of action, the starting point of their departure was most likely the fortress city at the junction of the Three Kingdoms.

Ainz Ooal Gown, Momo, Sebastian.

There are so many talented people around the small fortress city, and they are springing up one after another. Are the three of them related in any way? So what is the reason for this phenomenon?

No, the information is insufficient.

After thinking for a long time, I still can't grasp the point.

On the surface, the three people have no connection, and even the scope and location of their activities are different, but he still has a subconscious feeling that the three people definitely have some necessary connection.

"Based on our tracking during this period, we found that the target seemed to be observing the layout of the royal capital."

Is it possible that he was just hanging out...

No, that's not right.

If they were wandering around, it would be impossible for the housekeeper not to be with his eldest lady, so it seemed that he was indeed sorting out information about the royal capital.

"Master Lin, I have something else to report to you."

"What is it?"

"The target seems to have spotted us."

"..."

After hearing the maid's report, Lin subconsciously rubbed his eyebrows.

Seeing him like this, the maid quickly knelt down on one knee, lowered her head and said in fear: "I'm extremely sorry, Mr. Lin, we have let you down. You really deserve death!"

"No, don't be like this, I'm not angry. I just wonder what's wrong with this world, how come so many masters suddenly appear." Lin, who didn't even understand what he was feeling, just laughed.

"Bird" is a secret force that is good at spying on intelligence, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to build a huge intelligence network so easily, and even infiltrate the Church and the Empire.

However, such a secret force that has been invincible has been repeatedly hit by walls since Clementine, making him have no confidence in his men.

Although the targets are all a group of non-humans.

After a pause, Lin asked in thought: "If it is exposed, will Sebastian have any reaction?"

"No, the other party didn't make a fuss, but simply got rid of the person who was following. However, there is a mark on the intelligence, and we still found his residence, although it was not a tracking but a result of investigation."

"Really, no malicious intent?"

Lin nodded.

Did he find out that the person sent was himself, or did he find out that the person who was following had no malicious intent, so he didn't fight back? Otherwise, with Sebastian's strength, it would be easy to get rid of the little tail behind him.

Which one is it?

"In addition, the target rescued a prostitute."

"Prostitute?"

————

Time went back a little.

After sending the old lady home and parting with Lin, Sebastian went to the originally scheduled destination.

He came to a place with continuous walls, and three five-story towers appeared inside the wall. Since there were no buildings taller than those towers around, they looked particularly tall. In the surrounding area, several two-story tall slender buildings surrounded these towers.

This is the headquarters of the Magician Guild of the Kingdom.

Since this place is also developing new magic and training magic chanters of the magic system, a large area of ​​land is needed. They have almost no national aid, but they can own such a large piece of land because they are responsible for the production of magic props.

And the purpose of Sebastian's coming here is naturally to follow the instructions of the Supreme Lord Ainz and explore the magic scrolls and magic props of this world.

Climbing up the stairs, I saw a solid door.

The lattice-shaped door was wide open. On the left and right of the door, several armed guards could be seen standing on duty on the second floor.

The well-dressed and elegant old butler was not stopped by the guards. He just glanced at them and walked through the door.

Walk into the door.

The layout is no different from the Adventurer's Guild, but it is more luxurious and profound.

A counter was placed in the depths of the hall. Several young men and women sat behind it. Everyone wore a robe with a badge embroidered on their chests when they entered the building.

Obviously, these people are guild staff.

Sebastian stepped on the counter with a neat sound.

"Welcome to the Magician's Guild, Mr. Sebastian, what do you need?"

"I want to buy magic scrolls. Can you show me the usual list?"

"Okay."

The staff quickly put a large book on the counter. It was probably prepared secretly when he saw Sebastian.

After all, Sebastian is a generous old customer.

The inner pages of the book were made of thin, snow-white high-grade paper, and the cover was mounted with leather, which was quite exquisite. Moreover, the text was sewn with gold thread. I am afraid that this book alone is worth a lot of money.

Unfortunately, Sebastian could not understand the text on it.

But his master gave him a magic prop that could solve this problem.

—— Glasses that can understand text.

He flipped through the book quickly but carefully, and soon selected a magic scroll.

"Can you please introduce this magic - floating board in detail?"

"Okay."

The young man began to introduce fluently.

Sebastian also listened carefully and bought this magic that was not easy to sell.

The young man was not surprised.

Because the magic scrolls that Sebastian bought were almost all this kind of very unpopular magic. Besides, being able to clear the remaining inventory was also a good thing for the Magician Guild.

"Is one scroll enough?"

"Yes, please."

The young man nodded and walked quickly back behind the counter.

About five minutes later, the young man came back with a roll of parchment in his hand.

"This is your scroll."

Sebastian confirmed that the name was the same as the name of the magic he wanted to buy, and then he took off his glasses.

"That's right, I bought it."

"Thank you for your patronage."

The young man bowed his head politely.

This scroll is a first-class magic, and it costs one gold coin and ten silver coins to buy it.

Potions of the same class and made only by magic are worth two, so this is a relatively cheap scroll.

Of course, it is relatively cheap, but it is still very expensive for ordinary people, equivalent to their salary for one and a half months.

However, for Sebastian... No, for the Supreme Lord that Sebastian serves, it is not a lot of money.

So the old butler paid the money smoothly.

Sebastian walked out of the Magician's Guild and raised his head slightly to the sky. Because he sent the old lady home halfway, it exceeded the scheduled time, and the sky had slowly turned dark red.

Looking at the watch he took out of his arms, it was time to return to his residence. However, the things he was supposed to deal with today were not finished.

"——Shadow Demon."

Sebastian's shadow was moving.

"Tell Suo Liuxiang that I'll be back later. That's all."

Although there was no answer, the breath began to move, from shadow to shadow, gradually fading away.

"Okay."

Sebas moved his feet.

There was no particular destination. What he had to do next was to fully understand the geographical environment of the capital. His master did not specifically order him to do this. He acted spontaneously as part of collecting intelligence.

But...

Hmm? Was he being targeted?

Feeling the faint breath coming from behind him, Sebas, as a dragon man, was keenly aware of it, but he did not make a sound and continued as usual.

"Let's go over there today."

He muttered to himself, smoothed his beard, and turned the scroll in one hand. He looked like a happy child.

The old butler kept moving forward, gradually moving away from the central area of ​​the capital where public security was good. After all, it was not suitable to deal with the people behind him in a conspicuous place.

After passing a few corners along the passage, the alley began to feel dirty and a little stench was wafting.

It was the smell of kitchen waste and excrement.

Sebastian walked silently in the air that seemed to pollute his clothes.

He stopped inadvertently and looked around.

He seemed to have walked into a very hidden back alley, so narrow that people could barely pass by.

The narrow alley with the setting sun and the tall buildings on both sides blocked the light, making it difficult for people to move. However, this was no problem for Sebastian. He seemed to blend into the dark night, moving forward silently without making any footsteps.

Let's get rid of them here.

Thinking so, Sebastian walked quietly in the darkness. About fifteen meters in front of him, a seemingly heavy iron door suddenly made a sound and slowly opened, revealing the light inside.

The old butler stopped.

When the door was fully opened, a person showed his face. The backlight allowed him to only see the outline of the person, but it should be a man.

The man looked around, but he didn't seem to find Sebastian, and he retreated into the door without any reaction.

Then, there was a thump.

A rather large cloth bag was thrown outside. Under the light from the door, the soft objects in the bag were deformed.

Although the door was open, the person who threw the cloth bag out like trash probably went into the house for the time being and did not take the next step.

Sebastian frowned.

He hesitated whether to move forward or go in another direction. After all, intervening in this matter would cause trouble. Even if someone followed behind him, he would just shake him off instead of killing him.

But after a brief hesitation.

"——Go."

The pocket of the bag loosened.

Sebastian was about to pass by directly, but his steps stopped. Because his trousers felt a slight touch of something hooked, he looked down and found the expected object.

A thin hand like a dead branch stretched out from the bag and grabbed his trouser leg.
