Noelle turned the joint between the gauntlet and the armplate, revealing his small green-white hand. The tip of his thumb crossed the pad of his index finger, and a drop of bright red blood squeezed out from it and dripped on the mirror.

The surface of the mirror is like ripples on the water, and blood blends into it silently.

There was no movement.

If it were a parasitic monster, purple light would emit from the mirror, but there would be no reaction after blood dripped into it. This was the first time the man had seen it.

The man looked at Noelle suspiciously. The girl's pretty face had an appearance that was comparable to that of an elf. The armor on her body was extremely delicate. The armors crafted by many noble nobles could not reach this level of finesse. When the blood was dripping, he also noticed that the other person was The palms of my hands do not have any calluses from using weapons for a long time.

"you"

Before the man could say anything, the mirror that had been down for a while suddenly emitted a white light.

"Huh~" Nita breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Noelle was a spy sent by the Demon King's army. After all, he appeared alone in front of the capital's defense line and was from the 'Knights of the West Wind' that she had never heard of. Why? Look how weird it is.

"Let's go." Nita pulled Noelle over.

"No," the man who is the prosecutor said, "I'm sorry, miss, you have to test again."

"What do you mean!" Nita's temper rose and she stood in front of Noelle, "There is no problem with the magic mirror, what do you want to do?!"

"Miss Nita, you also saw that there was something wrong with the test just now."

Nita wanted to argue again, but Noelle held her back.

"It's okay to try again."

"Thank you for your understanding." The man placed the mirror in front of Noelle again.

Another drop of blood fell, and this time the white light in the mirror lit up quickly.

"Can we leave now?" Nita crossed her arms and looked at the prosecutor coldly.

The man hesitated for a moment and said: "The members of the original Lion Wolf Fang Adventure Team can leave. This lady still has to wait for a while. I need to report the abnormality."

"you!"

Before Nita could get angry, Orton pulled the man aside, took out a bag of coins from his arms, and stuffed it into the man's hand under the shadow.

"The test is fine. She is from the Knights of the West Wind. Don't make things too ugly."

The man secretly placed the weight of the coin bag, and recalled the girl's temperament and the armor that looked like a work of art. Finally, a smile appeared on his face, "Captain Orton, why didn't you tell me earlier that he is from the Knights? Let's go, let's go." Yeah, no problem."

Orton patted the man's shoulder, and with the man's smiling wave, he led Noelle and others towards the capital.

"Captain," Nita muttered: "Did you give money to that greedy guy again?"

"Same as last time."

"I knew it!"

Noelle was confused, "Don't the prosecutor seem to be very loyal to his duties?"

"Oh~ If I hadn't been tricked by him once, I would have thought the same thing as you." Nita looked disgusted, "The last time Serena joined the team, he used the same method to trick her. He even All the priests dare to trick him! I’m really not afraid that the gods will punish him and chop him to death.”

"Hahaha~" Fite said with a strange smile: "The kingdom is corrupt from top to bottom. The nobles will not go to the battlefield if they can. If not, they will hire them. Maybe this time the Demon King revives, the kingdom will disappear completely."

"The temple will not let the Demon King's army succeed." It was not Orton who refuted Fite, but Serena, which gave Noelle a vague understanding of the kingdom's situation in the world of brother-in-law.

In this world where monsters are constantly refreshed as time passes, it is very similar to the world view of some games, and the economy of the coalition revolves around killing the Demon King's army and hunting monsters, which in turn feeds back to all walks of life in society.

Such an economy driven by a single core of hunting monsters is extremely fragile and may collapse at any time.

"What do I want these for?" Noelle shook his head.

"There is a second line of defense in front, and then there is the outer city, which is used to test whether the consciousness has been taken away by the sacrifices of the Demon King's army, but it is not very strict."

Noelle followed Nita and others to observe the operation mode of the capital's defense line. Until they entered the inner city, the tense atmosphere dissipated instantly.

There is no lifelessness at the defense line, no darkness in the outer city with towering walls blocking the sun. What you see here is the prosperity of a human kingdom in another world.

"Huh~ I'm finally back."

From Noelle's perspective, Orton, Nita and others visibly relaxed, and their fatigue became more obvious.

"Let's go to the Adventurer's Guild to submit the mission first, clean up there, and have a good meal in the evening." Orton took off his helmet, revealing his iconic uncle face.

The Demon King has revived, and the Demon King's army continues to advance towards the capital. At this time, there are also many adventurers from the Adventurer's Guild in the city.

The hall was as noisy as a tavern, with lizardmen, dwarves, witches, and elves everywhere. When Orton and others pushed the door open, their voices remained unabated. Only some familiar people greeted Orton and used

Curious eyes kept looking at Noelle.

Silver-level adventurers are already the top combat force in the border towns, but they can be seen everywhere inside the capital. Many people have silver adventure plaques hanging around their necks, but gold-level adventurers are not the only ones who have them.

No.

Orton and others walked to the counter and handed in the information they had written in advance in the outer city.

The lady at the counter was in her twenties, wearing a guild uniform with a white lining, a dark blue jacket, and a bright yellow scarf. She always had a smile on her face full of collagen.

"Are you handing in the commission? Please wait," the counter lady apologized after checking it: "This intelligence mission is quite special. We need to send someone to conduct a second investigation before we can hand over the commission money to your team."

"It should be so." Orton nodded, then turned sideways, exposing Noelle to the counter lady, "This wants to be an adventurer, please help her register."

"No problem." The lady at the counter smiled brightly.

"Sir, let's go next door to clean up first. We'll be back in a minute and have dinner together in the evening." Orton was very polite to Noelle.

"good."

This scene was seen by the lady at the counter. The smile on her face did not change, but she was secretly beating in her heart.

How could a senior Silver-level adventurer be so respectful to a newcomer?

And is the knight armor on the girl with an elf-like appearance in front of me a bit ridiculous?

The fine lines on the exquisite armor must be the proud work of the dwarf master, but whose dwarf master would make a half-finished armor? Some parts of the girl's body are not protected at all. In the eyes of any adventurer, this body

Armor is extremely substandard, even if it looks like it was made by a famous master.

If the apron-like fabric on the front of the skirt were removed, the girl's armor would probably not be a formal attire for a military banquet.

Could it be that he is the daughter of a big noble? Only with this status can he drive the dwarf master to forge such a strange work, so that senior silver and other adventurers can treat him with respect.

The counter girl, who was good at observing people's emotions, felt that she had already guessed the girl's identity.
