Please come in."

Yi Ming stopped talking, then quickly glanced at everyone, and then spoke after confirming that they were all in the state.

As the door opened, an old man in noble clothes walked in respectfully, then bent down slightly to Yi Ming and handed over an exquisite invitation.

"Hello, Captain John. This is my host's invitation letter. My host knows that you will definitely plan to go on the road and leave the city soon. In order to express your respect and thank you, my host invites you to attend the dinner held at the Oldsbet Hall tonight. You and you must enjoy the glory."

"Thank you, please tell your master, I will definitely go."

Yi Ming took the invitation calmly and replied with a smile. The old man said nothing anymore and left the room quietly.

"call…………"

After confirming that the other party was leaving, Yi Ming then breathed a sigh of relief and then sat back on the chair leisurely.

"Brother Yiming, I feel so tired when I tighten my face..."

Lita, who had been silently disguising the "mysterious magician", also replied to her original appearance. She touched her face uneasy, feeling as if her facial muscles were loose. For Lita, it was really uncomfortable to have her serious and serious, and face the aristocrats of merchants mixed with a sense of mystery. Although Lita herself thought that her performance was as good as usual, Yi Ming didn't think so. In his opinion, if Lita really appeared in her original appearance, then in less than a few sentences, she might have been exposed by those guys who have been accused of having been a spoiled for a long time. Instead of taking unnecessary risks, it would be better to keep Lita's transcendent status as a magician, not answering if she didn't want to answer, not talking, and not saying anything. It would be better to lose more than talking too much.

"No matter what era, rich people are like this. It seems that they cannot show their differences from others without cumbersome etiquette."

"That's right......Hmm?"

After nodding his head to agree, Yi Ming turned around in surprise and searched for the sound that shouldn't have appeared here.

"You...why are you here?"

“Because I’m very idle.”

The translucent girl knight - Rowling gently stroked the hair of Aini who had fallen asleep, stared at Yi Ming quietly and calmly, and naturally gave the reason that people could not refute.

"This, what is this guy...!?"

Compared with Yiming, Lefal's reaction was obviously more intense. She couldn't help but jumped in front of Lita, holding the hilt of the sword in her hand, and stared at the girl knight who appeared out of thin air. Rowling did not react at all because of her rudeness, but looked at Lita with expressionless expression and turned her eyes back to Yiming.

"It seems like you are in danger?"

"Oh? Do you feel it too?"

Yi Ming narrowed his eyes and gently shook the invitation in his hand.

“This is the intuition gained on the battlefield all year round.”

Rowling's voice and expression did not change at all.

"The man just now exuded a dangerous aura."

"Dangerous breath?"

Lefal looked at Rowling with anger. Since Yi Ming showed his recognition with the other party, no matter whether the other party was a ghost or something else, she should not be hostile. So she also relaxed her vigilance a little. At this moment, Lita also curiously poked her head out from behind Lefal and peered at the girl Ghost Knight carefully. For her, it was more envious. After all, even as a magician of the Dark Tower, Lita could not completely summon a human spirit body until now, so she did not miss any opportunity that could understand this magic.

"You won't understand."

The girl knight had no idea of ​​explaining to Lefal. She still gently stroked Aini's hair, as if there was no possibility of her reacting other than that.

"This requires years of battle, accumulated experience and intuition."

“That’s it.”

Yi Mingzhi smiled and beat the snake with a stick.

"If you are assassinated by others dozens or hundreds of times, I believe that even if you are unwilling, you can detect which guys are dangerous people."

Lafar's face suddenly turned pale.

Fortunately, Yi obviously did not feel like adding a new "training program" to her temporarily, but turned to Rowling again.

"But we haven't seen you since Rowling City. Have you been following Ainie?"

"No."

Rowling shook her head slightly.

"I returned to my burial place and observed it there, but the crying of the soul there was too annoying that I could not sleep well, so I decided to go out for a trip." Rowling said relaxedly, as if she was an ordinary trip.

"Can ghosts also travel?"

At this time, the ice fish suddenly raised its head and asked curiously.

“Generally speaking, no.”

Rowling didn't even look at her, but still stared at Ainie.

"But, I think."

Then, she ended with a strange conclusion.

The atmosphere in the room became a little strange for a while. No matter how many years there is between the girl knights and them, the identities of the dead and the living are enough to make their conversation unable to continue normally. After all, the thoughts of the dead will be different from those of the living. After all, they do not worry about the danger of death, but surrender to them with peace of mind. And they have unlimited time to think about any question, so the answers they come up with are also different.

"So, Brother Yiming, is this banquet going to be dangerous?"

Lita tried to change the atmosphere in the room with fear, at least, to return to an understandable track.

"That's right."

Yiming glanced at Rowling again, shrugged her shoulders, then turned around and looked at Lita.

"This is a dangerous banquet. It's really strange. We should not pose any threat to the Olds Chamber of Commerce and this country. It's really unreasonable that they want to treat us as thorns in their eyes..." Yi Ming frowned slightly. He believed that his disguise should be perfect. Moreover, why did the top ten chambers of commerce attack him?

"Can they have any ulterior motives with the Kingdom of Marco?"

Icefish stopped flipping the book and raised her head and said uneasy.

"I have seen it in the book that as a country that manufactures weapons, the Kingdom of Marco has always maintained a very good trading relationship with many chambers of commerce..."

"This is unlikely..."

Yi Mingdi raised his eyebrows slightly, he did not notice this possibility. After all, the nature of the merchant is profit-oriented. If their partners are destroyed, then these guys' first counter-attack.

It is to avenge their former partners, but to consider whether they can get benefits in ~. What's more, it is impossible for them to know who destroyed the Kingdom of Marco.

wrong!

Yi Ming's eyes suddenly stopped on Aini.

Think about it carefully, why is Aini? Why do those people assassinate Aini? Unlike Lita's situation, Aini did not wear magician costumes, but was wearing ordinary dresses. No matter how you look at it, it looked like a cute noble lady on the surface and could not be selected as a target. But the other party obviously knew some of her strength, so the strength of the four assassinators was so strong that they could even conceal the use of light structures, but directly used intuition to explore Yiming around them. However, it was obvious that those people's understanding of Aini was limited to a slight understanding, and probably only reached the point where "she was very strong, but only when it was strong against strong, she should win", which meant that they did not know Aini's identity and her true strength. Otherwise, as long as they were smart people, they could come to the conclusion that "it was absolutely not an enemy of her."

Although there are always many fools in the world.

Yi Ming gently tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers a few times, then gave up thinking, and then he opened the invitation casually and showed a meaningful smile.

"Do you want to invite Captain Johnmith and members of the Phantom Light Mercenary Corps...?"

After reading this, Yi Ming raised his head.

"Lita, you and Lefal go first."

"Why?"

Because of this sudden order, Lita was stunned in her seat for a moment.

"Brother Yiming?"

"You and Lefal left first with these things and went back to Azus City. Only Icefish and I can go to the banquet."

"What about Ainie?"

Rowling, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said.

"She left with Lita."

Yi Ming's face was no longer heavy, but with an extremely relaxed smile.

"To be honest, among us, Ice Fish and I have only belonged to the Phantom Light Mercenary Group. As the representative of the expatriate, her mission has ended here, so it doesn't make sense to stay any longer.

At least on the surface, you have to leave. Know that we are just hiring relationships, and no matter how well we have formed on the journey, you must follow the rules of the city of Azus.”

Yi Ming smiled at Lita with peace, without even a trace of emotional fluctuations.

This made Lita a little overwhelmed.

"But, Brother Yiming, after we leave the city..."

"Anie can send you back to Azus City directly, but you must walk out of the city with a swagger."

"…………Do you guy want to treat us as bait?"

Lita didn't speak, and instead was Lefal's question.

"That's right."

Yi Ming snapped his fingers.

"This is not Yuria, nor Azus. This is a country of business. If they really want to do something to Lita, who is a magician, it is easy to be not known by Yuria. But if their goal is us, it is not incomprehensible. After all, we are just a slightly famous mercenary group and have taken over such a large amount of wealth. Even if such a small-scale mercenary group suddenly disappears, they will probably only be understood as going to somewhere to be free and easy."

"So, separate the objects that may be attacked to avoid confusion."

Rowling continued.

"If you cannot judge the other party's intentions, then clearly divide the goals so that you can know the other party's true thoughts."

"That's true. If the other party's target is one of them, then this sudden situation will at least make them panic. Even if the plan is temporarily corrected, errors and loopholes will inevitably be avoided. Moreover, even if the other party wants to attack both of us from the beginning, and suddenly deliberately dispersed actions will disrupt their expectations."

Yi Ming seemed to be singing with Rowling, saying things that made Lita and Lefal stunned. With their experience and experience, they could not think of so many things. Bingyu was silent. Obviously, she had already understood something.
To be continued...
