83-Chapter 5 Snow White


Chapter 5 - Snow White
GG3
The Assassin's defense was the lowest of all professions, even the Archer's magic defense was a bit higher than his. So for an assassin, not being able to kill his opponent with a single blow would be the end of him.
The one in front of me is a very good example, although his level is much higher than mine, and his attack power is very fast, but with the intervention of ice magic, this guy's speed isn't as high as mine. 5400 Agility Assassin plus 30% and then half of the 'freezing light' is cancelled plus the blasphemer's additional 1.5 times effect, leaving the rest. My 3400 Agility plus the 10% bonus of the Sleeve Sword and 500 Agility of the Gale Ring is 4240, which means that from the moment he didn't kill me in the first strike, the fight was a no-brainer. Unless his equipment allows him to reach 13,000 or more, he won't be able to touch me.
But dodging around was too much trouble, so I just used 'Ice Flower' to make him turn into a statue on the ground and put him on display with those guards.
As the saying goes, with equipment to kill monsters over the top properly.
Then, I stepped in front of Hendry.
"How was it, did you enjoy watching it?"
"........"
It was only when I got close enough that I smelled something odd, and upon closer inspection, the guy actually peed his pants!
"God, I just turned them into ice sculptures, why are you laughing your ass off? Didn't you say you were the son of some duke? Is that great, Show me one."
I said with a smile at the guy in front of me.
Everyone around me laughed, there aren't many chances to see the Duke's son in such a mess.
"That... this... please let me go... I'll give you as much money as you want... I'll give you whatever you want... don't ever kill me..."
"So..."
I turned to Princess Cheryl.
"Am I going to have any trouble killing this guy?"
"This..."
Princess Cheryl thought about it.
"While Duke Slater won't do anything to you in the open because I'm not, you'll have to be careful in private, that old man has a lot of grudges."
"So..."
I turned to a scared Hendry and then asked.
"Looks like your dad is pretty good~"
"No...if you let me go, I will never have anything to do with any of what happened today father, just name your price and I will immediately take the amount you want out of my vault, so..."
I felt a lot less angry as I watched him shiver like this.
After thinking about it, I held out 3 fingers.
"Let's take this number."
"This..."
The moment he hesitated, I immediately whispered close to his ear.
"It's not just my fee, there's also everyone's hush money, do you still want to hang out in the capital from now on? Even if you were alive, if the whole city knew about what happened today, I don't think you'd dare go out, would you?"
"It's...yes yes, you said it."
The other nodded vigorously.
I laughed and fanned him twice in the face, returning to Princess Cheryl's side as he looked confused.
"Princess, even though Hendry went too far today, if the whole city finds out about today's incident, the noble's dignity will take a big hit..."
"Well...what do you think?"
"Then I'll fix it for you."
I said out loud as I straightened up.
"Everyone, I think what Hendry did today was obvious to everyone, but with my consultation with Princess Cheryl, it's enough to give him enough punishment this time, otherwise it will have a bad effect on the princess as well. I hope you all will cooperate, okay?"
The people around them heard it and whispered about it.
After a while, Mal came out of the crowd and said.
"Phil you're too kind, since it's the Princess and the National Wizard who suggested it, of course we'll do it."
"Don't say that, make it sound like I'm forcing you guys."
"Hahaha, Phil, it's true that you're not like the National Wizard, if all National Wizards were like you, that side wouldn't go back to being the least favorite place for everyone to be near."
He said pointing to a towering structure in the distance.
"The Mage Tower... is it?"
By the way, His Majesty even said he wanted me to report on it sometime, and I was wondering where it was before, but I didn't think it was so obvious.
"Well, that's why I'm asking you to please not spread the word about this this time."
"So Phil you're too kind..."
Relieving the ice from the men, the few bloodied guards fled the scene quickly with Hendry.
The streets quickly returned to business as usual, and we bid farewell to the Maltese and continued our tour of the King's Capital.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect to show you all these bad things just getting to the King's Capital."
"No no no, to me it's simply something like a fixed plot in general, so don't mind."
"Fixed plot?"
"Well..."
Looking at Princess Snow's puzzled eyes, I thought about it and continued.
"Because it's always felt that generally speaking when you come to a place with a high concentration of nobles, some domineering nobles will always come and cause trouble, right?"
"...Although I can't deny your words, it's actually not all bad people in the nobility."
"I know that."
Thinking back to those students inside the academy, most of them were nobles or royals, but honestly, I didn't feel like they were difficult to get along with.
After all, in order to become a leader-level person you must be broad-minded, and a villain can never become a leader despite being able to become big.
"Alright, enough of that, where are we going next?"
"Well..."
Princess Cheryl looked very cute as she dragged her cheeks in thought.
"By the way, I don't think you've ever seen the symbol of our Aether Empire!"
Suddenly, she jumped up and said.
"The mark... the mark? What's that?"
"Humph! That's very powerful stuff. Let's go! I'll lead the way!"
After saying that, this guy galloped forward on a horse.
This guy, really doesn't have the appearance that a princess should have....
Shaking our heads, we quickly followed.
'No problem? That person who has been following us, although he feels like he's here to protect the princess, he didn't make a move just now.''
While walking, I suddenly saw a message from Aria.
'I don't know, but that guy has no hostility towards us, he's just following, so I don't know if he's friend or foe.'
'Then what do we do?'
'Even if you ask me what to do...'
I looked in the direction of the person still following behind me and shook my head.
'I don't think I could defeat him anyway, do you?'
'You have the nerve to ask someone who is lower in rank than you?'
'Then in that case let's just walk and talk.'
'That's right, let's form a team, like that situation just now, if we're in a team, you'll know immediately if my side enters a combat situation.'
'Fine, but it's not like you guys are bent on acting on your own yet.'
'...It's just that you guys are idiots.''
'Huh?'
I looked at Alicia strangely, but she ignored me and never sent any more messages.
Well, aren't you awesome yet?
Having accepted the invitation to form a team, our destination seemed to be approaching, as Princess Cheryl was slowing down.
But........
What's this slowly deepening chill around us?
"It's cold, Phil..."
Even Arlene whispered.
I looked at her and remembered that she was actually wearing armor and then just a cloak over it.
I rummaged around inside the ring and then took out a set of wool knight cloaks.
In order to be able to disguise myself as anyone, I bought a set of all the clothes I could, including the knight's gear, naturally.
I approved the cloak to her.
"Is this warmer? This cloak should keep out the cold."
"Um...thanks."
Seeing her blush, it seemed that the cape was quite effective.
"Where's mine!"
Next to her, Alicia shouted in dissatisfaction.
"That's one cloak, aren't you a fire one? Afraid of the cold?"
"You..."
Alicia's face rose up in a round bulge, then her body whirled with flames, and then she quickly overtook us to catch up with Princess Cheryl.
As we walked, she said.
"Hmph! I'm fire anyway, you idiot! I wouldn't let you roast the fire even if you begged me..."
"........"
What the hell is this guy making a fuss about....
But just then the fire in Alicia's body was extinguished at once.
She looked at herself in confusion, and then lit the fire again.
But before a second had passed, the fire was immediately extinguished.
"What the..."
"Well, this is the most magical place in our Aes Empire, the Crack of Ice, and on it, there is a holy woman who sacrificed herself to save the Aes Empire, Snow White."
"Huh? Princess Snow White?"
Alicia and I looked at each other, and I could almost see the awkward face all over me in her eyes.
Where were the seven dwarves?
