I like traveling the most

Despite the recent panic in the capital, the shops that should be opened in the bustling urban area still open their doors to receive customers. However, these shops are located on the central street and are very formal, which is not the case where Climb and others are going.

It's not so much a bustling area at night with bright lights as it is a dark street closed in the dark.

Climb ran quietly and quickly through the alley.

Thanks to the use of alchemy to enchant the mithril armor before, there was no collision sound.

Unless you are a person with particularly sensitive hearing or an excellent thief, you will probably not be able to hear the sound of his walking even if you stand nearby.

Because of this, he will join the advance reconnaissance unit with only four people.

The other three were Brian, Nina, and a thief in the former orichalcum-level adventurer team.

Go through the alley and arrive at your destination.

It is surrounded by tall walls, forming a space isolated from the surroundings. The atmosphere is reminiscent of a prison or a fortress, and it is unknown what kind of illegal activities are going on inside.

Even the magic lights installed on the left and right sides of the door couldn't erase this bad impression. The building that I learned about beforehand should be behind this wall, but it can't be seen from here.

Climb spread out the map, carefully compared it with the help of a magic lamp, and whispered:

"That's it, you can't go wrong."

"Yes, team leader. Judging from the location and atmosphere, it seems to be there." The person who answered him was an orichalcum-level adventurer. He responded in a low voice: "Then, I will go and do some reconnaissance first."

Just as promised.

Before entering the enemy's base camp, it is up to thieves with excellent infiltration abilities to detect intelligence.

The thief disappeared silently, leaving only Clem, Brian and Nina.

They leave their team members behind because they are not good at stealth operations. Things like full-body armor are equivalent to using noise to tell the other party that they are here.

Having said that, the fight was about to begin, and no one was brave enough to take off their armor and approach the enemy.

That's why it's these three people.

Of course, it is impossible to imitate the actions of thieves in World War II, so tasks such as infiltration can only be left to experts.

Just in case, Nina released magic to block the enemy's detection from the air. The remaining two people were back to back, waiting with bated breath while scanning the surroundings to prevent themselves from being exposed.

I waited like this for who knows how long.

Suddenly, Brian reached for the knife at his waist, trying to slash it out, when a panicked man's voice came from beside him.

"Team leader, don't talk, it's me!"

It was the voice of a thief who went to conduct reconnaissance.

Unlike the keen Brian, Climb only felt the air next to him move, as if someone had sat down. It was incredible to see that there was no one around me. Suppressing the shock in his heart, he asked:

"How's it going inside?"

"——It's not good."

The man's tone changed, filled with an extreme sense of urgency.

"I only took a brief look inside. It seems that there are several individual rooms similar to compartments. I think it must be the facilities of the Eight Fingers Security Department. There is a place that is heavily guarded and a bit difficult to access. The most important thing is... There are cells inside the building where women are imprisoned, and there are several people guarding the women whose appearance is consistent with Six Arms.”

Leaving aside women, having six-armed guards is something that has long been expected.

Is there any doubt left?

Brian frowned and asked, "How many people are there? It doesn't sound like one person."

"Five people. Considering that the Phantom Demon has been arrested, everyone is here now."

"It's really... terrible."

No wonder the man sounded nervous.

This place is a difficulty that cannot be conquered, which means that they have won the lottery.

But similarly, because everyone is gathered here, it means that other locations can be easily captured, which is a great blessing among misfortunes.

Nina asked in a low voice: "What to do next?"

"What else can we do? It's really impossible to capture this place. Retreat."

"Is this okay, little brother Clem?" the thief asked reluctantly.

"It's not good, but there's nothing we can do about it. The Six Arms will gather here, indicating that this is a permanent facility, or that there is something they value. It's very bad to retreat before confirming this, but I don't think we should Doing things that are impossible to do in terms of combat power.”

Climb remembered what Lin had said to them before setting off. So even if they were extremely reluctant, considering the strength gap between the two sides, they had no choice but to retreat temporarily.

Brian and Nina agree.

It's a good thing to dare to swing a sword at a strong person, but to take the initiative to die if you can't tell the difference in strength between the two sides is not called bravery, but reckless.

Seeing that the matter was settled, the thief asked: "What should we do next? Are we going to explore other locations?"

"I think this is the most effective. Can you please report to the rear personnel first? We will wait here to make sure no one comes out to chase you."

"Okay, please."

The thief said hello and left quietly, retreating to where the team members who stayed behind were waiting.

After waiting for a while——

"There seems to be no movement."

"There's no magic detection in the air either."

"Okay, let's retreat too."

"Hmm...huh? Wait, look at that person."

Looking in the direction of Brian's finger, he saw that a person he had seen yesterday was walking towards the building that Climb and the others were monitoring.

"That's...Master Sebas? Why is he here?"

"You know him?"

"Well, in fact, a large part of the credit for capturing Dunetron is due to the help of this lord."

Brian did not participate in the destruction of the brothel, so he did not know Sebastian. He just thought this person was a little strange, so he warned him.

Nina whispered: "I don't know where he came from. My magic did not detect him."

"Could he be in the same group with Eight Fingers?"

"I can conclude that it is definitely not."

Clem trusts Sebastian very much. There is trust in Lin, and there is trust in Sebastian's behavior.

"Anyway, let's first--"

Before he finished speaking, Sebastian's eyes turned and looked at the two people in the corner.

In order to monitor the building, Clem and his friends deliberately kept a distance and hid in the dark. Logically, it should not be easy to be discovered. Although Sebastian may just look over here by chance, Clem dares to judge that this is not the case.

Sebastian trotted over.

The speed was abnormally fast, so fast that it seemed like he teleported every time he blinked.

The powerful existence made Brian's body tense and he subconsciously put his hand on the sword at his waist. Nina also silently gathered magic power.

"Don't be impulsive, both of you."

Clem stopped his companions behind him.

Sebastian saw Clem in the lead and said in surprise: "What a coincidence, I met Mr. Clem here, what's the matter?"

"Well, we also want to ask this question... We are hiding here to attack the building owned by Eight Fingers." In order to avoid misunderstanding, Clem quickly explained.

"... Just the three of you?"

"No, there are many people behind."

"I see."

The old butler touched the beard on his chin.

Clem also asked, "Why is Lord Sebastian here? Do you need to go to that building?"

"Yes. It's like this. The woman I rescued yesterday was kidnapped. The other party asked me to come, so I came."

"Is that so! The companion who just went in to scout inside did say that there was a woman inside."

"...Where is that companion now?"

"Oh. I think he will be back soon... Ah, just in time."

In front of Brian's sight, the adventurer who lifted the invisibility came back. He looked at Sebastian in surprise. This elegant old man suddenly appeared and seemed out of place here.

Clem explained, "This is Lord Sebastian who helped in the arrest of the phantom demon before. The woman who was imprisoned in the prison just now seems to be an acquaintance of Lord Sebastian, so we met here unexpectedly. This lord is absolutely trustworthy, please don't worry."

"I see."

The thief nodded.

Then he began to focus on the woman and told the detailed information he had seen with his own eyes. After listening to all the information, Sebastian gave a voice full of gratitude.

"I see, I understand. Thank you, it will be much easier to save her now."

"No, please don't take it to heart. Anyway, everyone is ready to retreat."

The woman Sebastian knew was locked up inside, but he and others decided to retreat. This guilt made the thief embarrassed and secretly observed Sebastian's face.

"Master Sebastian, among the six arms known as the strongest eight fingers, five people gathered inside... Do you have the confidence to defeat them?"

Clem's question made the thief frown.

The six arms are not some rotten fish and shrimp. They are strong enough to rival the adamantium-level adventurers. Even if one is caught, it will be the weakest among them.

Is it inappropriate to ask a gray-haired old man about this?

However, Sebastian ignored his thoughts and nodded gently: "If it's five people of the level of Dunetron, I have no problem."

The thief almost rolled his eyes.

But in fact, in his opinion, he and others don't have to be so scared.

First of all, Clem has defeated one of the six-armed. Even if someone helped him and he was almost killed in the end, you can tell whether he won or not, right?

Secondly, they also have Nina, a powerful third-level magic chanter, who can deal with two six-armed people anyway. Finally, there is Brian, a warrior who is as famous as the kingdom's warrior captain, and he will definitely have no problem dealing with two six-armed people.

Even if there is a mistake, isn't he still there?

He will definitely take this bounty!

Under the expectant gaze of the thief, Clem carefully considered the feasibility of success.

Finally——

"Master Sebastian, if you don't mind, can you lend us a hand?"

"Of course. Anyway, I'm here to rescue Tsuare, so let me deal with Six Arms."

"Then please invade from the front, attract the enemy's attention, and we'll sneak in. Although we can't say we're on your behalf, we'll rescue Miss Tsuare."

"Okay. In order to prevent her from being taken hostage or taken away from other escape routes, it would be great if you could rescue her while the enemy is distracted."

When the two were talking, Nina was stunned, staring at Sebastian blankly.

Tsuare...? !

This person, didn't I just say the name of Tsuare?

Yes, she didn't hear it wrong!

It's Tsuare!

"Wait, wait!"

Nina took a quick step forward, disregarding etiquette and the huge gap in strength between the two sides, and grabbed Sebas's sleeve.

"Huh? Mr. Nina?"

Clem and the other two were extremely surprised.

They looked at each other, not understanding why Nina was so excited all of a sudden.

Because the other party might be a companion of Clem and others, Sebas did not push him away rudely, but frowned and said, "Sir, can you please let me go first?"

However, Nina did not let go, but held on tightly, with an excited look of uneasiness and expectation, and asked in a hurried tone:

"Mr. Sebas, may I ask if the full name of Qiare you just mentioned is Qiare Nina Veron? Please, this is very important to me!"

"Uh-huh."

Sebas was also stunned for a moment.

He knew Qiare's full name. He asked about it after rescuing her and sending her away. Even Suo Liuxiang didn't know it.

However, the person in front of him knows, does that mean...

Just as he thought, Nina said with tears in his eyes: "That person is my biological sister. She was taken away by a noble. I, I... came to the capital to find her! Please, Lord Sebas! Please tell me, is she my sister!"

What a coincidence!

When Sebas asked Tsuare if she had any family, she did say that she only had one family member.

But——

"Are you Tsuare's family? But as far as I know, she seems to have only one sister... So that's it, I understand."

When Sebas saw Nina's open collar and a white bandage around his chest, he understood.

The magic chanter in front of him, because of his young age, has a neutral appearance, and with some small changes, he can disguise himself as a man.

As for the purpose, it is obvious that it is for convenience.

"This is really a coincidence."

Sebas kept stroking his graying beard.

To be honest, he was in a very irritable mood. He was even more upset than when he learned that Tsuare was kidnapped.

He knew the reason.

After all, Tsuare had promised to go back to the Great Tomb with him, but now that her sister was here, would she still agree to go to the Great Tomb with him? If she didn't agree and angered Lord Ainz, would Tsuare still be able to survive? Would he rebel against Lord Ainz for Tsuare? No, that was impossible.

Despite this, he felt very upset when he thought that the future might change.

Climb's lips moved slightly.

He had no brothers or sisters to let him experience this kind of pain, but he, who was also almost dead, felt the same way. It would be better to say that most of the miserable people in the kingdom had the same experience, even Brain.

Fortunately, Nina found her sister.

Although Miss Tsuare is still detained in the Six-Armed Base Camp, it is absolutely no problem to rescue the lady with the help of Sebastian, and the sisters will definitely meet again.

In this case, he will just give her a push from behind.

"Master Sebastian, no matter what, the most urgent thing is to rescue Miss Tsuare first. What do you think?"

"...Mr. Clem is right. Then let's go back to what we agreed on before. If you can rescue her while the enemy is distracted, that would be great."

As Clem said, the most urgent thing is to rescue Tsuare first.

As for the outcome...

We can only leave it to fate.
