Drip-drip-drip....
Suddenly I heard a communication alert from my headset and I took it out and put it on my head.
"What's going on?"
"Brother, we and Grandpa Dunster have eliminated those invading enemies."
Oyado's voice came from the headset, so it seems that the new invaders have been taken care of.
"Then Prince Ceran decided that we would leave Nightsteel now and continue our journey, after all, it is too dangerous for us to stay here."
"I see, we've reached the inn gate."
After saying that, we simultaneously pushed open the door of the inn and what appeared before us was a hall full of corpses.
And, in addition to the mercenaries, there were corpses of guards wearing armor bearing the royal markings.
Oyado and Aria were standing next to each other, talking to Dunst, the elderly butler.
"Oh, you guys are back, it seems like you know the perpetrators of this incident right?"
"Well, the other side is the Sheldon family, and the reward in the black market should still be left."
"I see, so it's a fight between them. Speaking of which, the fight for the right to mine the magic crystal mine is ready to begin ah... Prince Serran, are you ready to depart?"
Dunst suddenly looked towards the stairs and I turned around to see Prince Ceran slowly walking down the stairs.
"Well, let's go. Madol and Lima, you and Phil will ride in the same carriage, and we'll leave Nightsteel as fast as we can."
"Yes, thank you very much..."
The two of the Marshall family have thanked Prince Seran.
Well, it was rare enough for a prince to do that, a fight between nobles as a royal itself shouldn't lean to one side or the other, it would be detrimental to the royal family's position afterwards.
Overt support would only complicate the fight.
That's why the prince chose to ride separately, right?
Really, I'm obviously the worst at protecting people....
"Understood, Miss Madore, Lima, you and I will get into the other car, all you have to do is just keep quiet."
"Keep quiet?"
The two men's faces were full of confusion.
"Yes, just keep quiet."
I smiled mysteriously, then looked at Dale.
"Ah, to use that...okay."
Dale stalls helplessly and writes something to me.
"Remember to get someone to pay for it."
"Yes yes yes."
They're all money-hungry guys who were led astray by Lanya.
--- Carrier loading....
Inside the carriage, glowing green and white spheres slowly rotated in the mid-air of the carriage.
As these green and white particles spread out, the surroundings of our carriage were covered by a light film, and if you didn't look from within one meter, you couldn't see the carriage underneath this film.
That's right, this is a magic optical camouflage that was developed using light magic and wind magic together, and although there are shortcomings, it's almost near perfect.
Flawed words....
It's just that the consumption is so fast, basically we need to replace one large capacity magic crystal per hour, at this rate, we will burn 500 gold coins worth of magic crystals before we reach the next city.
This is still a conservative estimate, if anything unexpected happens, this consumption might be even higher.
"Is the other side coming after us?"
Miss Madore in the carriage was a little timid.
It seemed that after seeing those corpses inside the inn, the two young men's faces had been bloodless, and it seemed that this was the first time something like this had happened to them.
Well, it's better to get used to this kind of thing earlier as a noble.
Look next to you, White Moonlight, Black Loli, Tai Shixi and Aria are all playing cards.
Mary-sensei and Fran? They were discussing the cloaking device with Dale, and it seemed that Farran was very interested in it, so Mary and Dale got to talking to her.
I always felt like she wanted to use the device to develop something even stranger, but I didn't care.
Because of this device, we left Nightsteel City and followed the outer side of the main road, and we didn't encounter any pursuers on the way except for two groups of mercenaries.
Of course, they only passed directly by, and we stopped directly at the side of the road, so we were completely undetected.
They had ventured to check the prince's carriage once, but they found absolutely nothing.
Normally, the prince could have refused such a search, which was insulting after all.
But the prince, in order to cooperate with us, accepted the search anyway.
In any case, this operation was quite helpful to us.
In any case, we won't be discovered for the time being, but that's the problem.
We're leaving Nightsteel City through the front gate, then there's no way we'll disappear into thin air.
As a result, the search party became more and more numerous, and the speed at which we traveled slowed down, after all, someone approaching us would have to stop, or else the other party would likely see through the disguise.
However, my little map couldn't see all of the area, and now we could evade thanks to the airship hovering silently behind us.
Let's hope all is well.
"Stop, something strange is approaching!"
All at once Dale in front of us suddenly shouted.
The wagon stopped immediately, and after a moment, a strange engine sound passed by us.
This sound... I looked to Dale, and Dale nodded.
"Wait a minute, I need to get out of here, or else, soon, we'll be discovered."
"Discovered?"
"Exactly..."
I looked to the next few, then smiled bitterly.
"The other side has started using the airship."
