A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

"Lord Melmed, you are here."

After receiving reports from patrol guards that a large number of corpses were found in the forest outside the city, with signs of fierce fighting, Melmed decided to go there in person.

Originally, this kind of thing was not within the jurisdiction of the Knights, but this clearly had something to do with the mercenaries who attacked the mansion.

Everyone in the mansion must be hiding something, how could Melmed let go of this opportunity to investigate the truth.

"What's going on at the scene?" Melmed asked the guard captain who came to greet him.

"Sir, according to our preliminary investigation, these are the bodies of some mercenaries. There are two main causes of death, one is being burned to death, and the other is having their throats cut."

Melmed casually looked at the distribution of corpse positions.

It is obvious that the mercenaries of the two methods of death all died around one point.

Is this a siege?

There are at least two opponents, one is good at controlling the fire element, and the other should be an assassin...

Walked to a burnt corpse again.

It was not simply burned to death by fire magic. If you look closely, you will see that there is a sword mark on the body, and the burnt marks also spread from the sword mark to the surrounding areas.

Therefore, the possibility of killing first and then burning can be ruled out. The two are carried out at the same time.

This fighting style is probably that of the rare "Magic Swordsman".

In addition, Melmed also found several throwing knives on the side of the burned corpse.

Um? Aren't the assassins from the Magic Swordsman side?

No, there was someone else throwing the knife.

After a thorough analysis, Melmed basically grasped the situation.

This situation can only be characterized as a conflict between mercenary organizations.

But she always felt something was wrong.

Regardless of victory or defeat in a conflict in the mercenary world, there will always be someone to clean up the scene.

Combined with the siege scene, maybe things were not what she thought.

"Lord Melmed!"

Suddenly, the guard investigating the body shouted.

"What's wrong?" Melmed asked.

"My lord, we found this on the body."

With that said, the guard handed a badge to Melmed.

Adventurer Badge...

"Sir, it's not found on other corpses, it's only found on this corpse."

"That'll be easy. Send someone to the Adventurer's Guild for identification and find out what this person is."

"Yes!"

......

"Lord Melmed, the identification results are out."

Within the Knights, Chad reported to Melmed.

"explain."

"The owner of the badge is named Charles. He is a D-class adventurer registered in the Adventurer's Guild. He lives in Mhalla Town and has no relatives. He often takes missions from the Melbourne Adventurer's Guild."

"Have you asked the adventurers present?" Melmed asked.

"Yes, there happened to be an adventurer who knew him at that time, and said that he never teamed up with other people in the union when doing tasks, but had his own team, but those people didn't seem to be active locally."

"Needless to say, they are naturally his fellow mercenaries."

"The insider also said that although he is not sure, Charles may be related to the infamous 'ghoul'."

"'Ghouls'? It's them again."

They were also the ones who attacked the foreign mansion, and they were also the ones who had conflicts outside the city. They would not...

Isn't it possible that the sharp increase in street conflicts in the city these days is related to these guys?

If they had just attacked the foreign mansion, kidnapped the princess, and assassinated the king, then this organization would not be afraid.

But things are different now. An organization called "Ghoul" seems to be planning to cause riots throughout the city.

They want to seize power.

To be precise, it was the Kim behind them who wanted to seize power.

Is it the Sindelar Kingdom on the other side? After all, the Branco family was driven to the other side by the current Dorok royal family five hundred years ago.

Will the five hundred years of peace between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait come to naught...

No, it has been five hundred years, and very few people still know about this period of history. Even if the other side wants to start a war, it has lost the basis of public opinion.

Who is that?

Suddenly, Melmed had a bold guess.

Could it be that this person is in the kingdom and holds a high position?

Several people flashed through her mind, including princes, generals, and big businessmen.

One of the three, or even all of them.

They all have the motive and the strength to launch a coup.

Unlike Sophia, Melmed had no one to help her with the elimination method, so all three of them were under her suspicion.

Likewise, she didn't know that the mastermind behind the incident had been found out by Sophia and the others.

But everything Melmed did was not in vain.

Perhaps, her next actions will uncover another evil hand?

......

Melbourne City, where the city defense officer is stationed.

"General, the body has been disposed of." Captain Cosmo was in the room at this time, reporting to a middle-aged man.

"Well done, Cosmo." General Turhe turned to face the window.

Lively streets, hawkers, running children...

"What a joyful picture." The man murmured to himself.

Since he took office, the kingdom has been at peace for nearly a hundred years, and the most recent war was a conflict with the barbarians in the north.

Others may not know it, but Turhe has loved war since he was a child. He often played war games with his childhood friends as generals and soldiers.

It was his dream to become a majestic general, commanding thousands of troops and dominating the battlefield.

But now that he has become a general, he is confused.

What about war? Why is there no war?

Seeing himself changing from a handsome and ambitious young man to a bad old man day by day, Turhe never complained on his lips, but cursed this disgusting peace in his heart.

Okay, since there is no war coming to your door, then I will fight on your door.

Over the years since he took office, Turhe has trained countless dead soldiers, such as Cosmo in front of him.

He wants to break the status quo, he wants invasion, he wants war.

The first step in the plan is to take control of this disgusting country.

As the saying goes, "If you want to sleep, someone will give you a pillow." Before Turhe could launch a coup, someone came to seek cooperation.

The man said that he was very optimistic about himself and the dead soldiers he trained.

No matter what means he uses to kill the king, he promises to fulfill his wish.

"Cosmo, what does our big benefactor say?"

"General, Lord Richman said that he and his gold coins are on standby at any time, just waiting for your order." Cosmo conveyed the original words.

"Humph, merchant, I hope this fat pig will not let us down." Turhe said contemptuously.

"Do you still remember why I gave you this name in the first place?"

"Keep this in mind, General."

"Since the moment we joined, we have been a 'ghoul'..."
