As Byakko had said earlier, he would take Fenrir and Mercia to the north to lead Fenrir to the Forbidden Place in the Nordam Empire. Meanwhile, Loki ran behind them just in case an enemy followed them. "Be careful!" I don't know what happened to Mercia, the woman was suddenly about to fall, fortunately Fenrir swiftly held her body. Byakko's movement, which continued to run like an agile male tiger, almost made Mercia fall down. Not wanting anything to happen to Mercia again, Fenrir then moved Mercia to sit in front of her, then Fenrir wrapped her arms around the woman from behind. Fenrir just didn't want Mercia to fall a second time. They held on very tightly to Byakko's fine fur. "I'll make sure you don't fall again." Fenrir said right when his face was next to Mercia's cheek. Mercia's heartbeat, beating faster than usual. I don't know what happened, but the words and treatment Fenrir showed her managed to make Mercia's heart go haywire. Mercia nodded her head casually, cast

"Please allow the witness to stand and give his testimony."All eyes were on the witness as one of the presiding officers invited the male witness standing on the witness stand to speak.The man walked forward a few steps. He looked around before starting to speak. There were faces that were eager to hear his testimony. There were many people he knew including the emperor and the prime minister who were seated higher up among the others to watch the proceedings. They decided to attend because this trial involved the betrayal of one of the Empire's heroes. "Introduction, my name is Heiter Siegfried of the noble Siegfried family. Today I will be a witness for Berndhard Pendragon."The courtroom erupted again. Everyone returned to talking about the witness who was speaking. They all knew him. In fact, the entire Empire recognized the man standing on the witness stand. He was Heiter Siegfried the Balmuth Empire Archmage who was one of the four pillars of the Balmuth Empire, as well as th

After all the trials were completed and Silya received a prison sentence. The hanging is just a day away if Silya is still silent about the reason for the attack because it is considered to cover up the evidence and the party behind it. Silya's mouth was still tightly closed until she was taken out of the trial and would soon be thrown into prison. Only a few words were uttered by Silya as she walked past Berndhard. "Keep your promise, Bernhard." Silya whispered just before she disappeared into the prison room. Meanwhile, Gildart was also punished for deliberately making false reports and covering up the truth. He was also considered to have abused his power by bringing other Empire's troops into Balmuth Empire's territory. But the Prime Minister defended Gildart and asked the emperor to grant them leniency. The Great Emperor Alexander IV granted the prime minister's request due to some considerations that Albert had previously given. The punishment for the Clark noble family w

After finishing with their stomachs, the three of them continued their journey. Their search now focused on the information broker Mercia had previously mentioned. Narrow roads that had to be passed one by one if they passed other adventurers, the scorching heat due to the extreme desert temperature, and several drunks lying in front of the residents' houses were all sights they had to pass. Mercia walked in front as the guide. She moved swiftly through the alleys of the place. They had already passed through countless alleys. If Fenrir had gone alone to this place, he would have gotten lost long ago. "Is it still far?"Sweat began to bead on Fenrir's forehead. This trip was even more tiring because of the hot sun. It made Fenrir impatient to get to a place that Fenrir had no idea where it was. "Be patient, this place is indeed like a maze, because the place we are going to is a secret place."Some people glanced at the three of them, as if they were unfamiliar with the existence

"Why did you accept the Porter's assignment, MyLord? I am sure we have no one stronger than you in this area. It is not fitting that you are needed like this. I will teach them a lesson."Loki did not accept his master being used as an errand boy by the Adventurer's Guild administrator. Loki wanted Fenrir to be treated like a king. "No, Loki. This is much better. I don't want us to attract too much attention. I've told you several times, we don't know who is friend and who is foe here."Fenrir did not want to let his guard down. Fenrir always remembered Silya's first lesson. There was no one they could trust one hundred percent in the land they had just visited. That was proven in Fenrir's journey with the bearclaw Guild adventurers. One of the people they trusted betrayed them and caused all the adventurers to die, leaving only the three of them. "Shouldn't you guys suspect me too?"Mercia's words were not immediately answered by Fenrir. Actually, Mercia's words had a point. They h
