A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

(→_→）(/≡ _ ≡)

Did you sleep well last night?

Early in the morning, Fiona stared at Lin Mo with a strange look in her eyes.

"Ah...that's good."

"Did you hear any strange noises?"

"Haha...Really? No, I didn't hear anything anyway."

Lin Mo chuckled awkwardly, but didn't even dare to look her in the eye.

"Yeah......"

Fiona still had doubts, but she didn't investigate further.

Just as he reached out to open the door, he bumped right into Beatrice, who was passing by in the corridor.

Both sides were taken aback for a moment, then Beatrice seemed to realize something, and her face instantly turned red:

(? ?＞?-?＜? ?)

"You...you two..."

"Hit, excuse me!"

Then she covered her face and ran away...

"No way, so early in the morning, are you crazy...?"

Fiona, clearly lacking Beatrice's thought process, looked puzzled.

......

After breakfast, everyone gathered in a room to discuss the next route and strategy.

Valeria took out the map, spread it on the ground, and pointed to a certain spot.

"We are currently in Dange, Bathoria. According to the original plan, after leaving Campino, we were to head straight for the Kingdom of Dorok..."

"However, plans changed. Having lingered in the Dukush Mountains for so long, we are now forced to come here..."

"In my opinion, we should take the Danje Pass, cross the desert, pass through Friedham, then go through Death Valley, and enter the territory of Dorok."

"Of course, if you have any better solutions, please feel free to suggest them and we can discuss them further."

Valeria's remarks were merely a starting point, but they did set a good precedent.

"Another desert, another Death Valley? I suspect you're deliberately trying to make things difficult for us."

Fiona immediately retorted.

"But this is indeed the shortest route."

"...We should have taken the ship from Strømsgod City in the first place; it would have saved so much time..."

That being said, if the entire pilgrimage is done by boat, then it loses all its meaning.

"Um, I have a suggestion."

Wuyue said.

"please say."

"I've heard that since the dwarves allied with Neo-Bathoria, they've been supporting the development here..."

"So is it possible that Danje City and Friedham City are so close together, and the dwarves are skilled at carving through mountains...?"

As she spoke, Wuyue drew a straight line between the two cities on the map with her finger.

"You mean the mountain tunnel that leads directly from Danje City to Friedham?"

"Although there are no such rumors outside the city yet, we can inquire around in the city. Perhaps we can really get through."

"..."

The possibility that Wuyue mentioned really piqued everyone's interest.

"If there really is such a shortcut to Friedham... that would certainly save a lot of unnecessary trouble."

Areste agreed.

"I agree. At least we don't have to go to that awful desert to be exposed to the wind and sun, which is great."

Fiona didn't even hesitate and directly expressed her opinion.

Valeria glanced at the others, who all indicated they had no objections.

Beatrice, in particular, looked excited about her upcoming return to the place.

"In that case, let's inquire around the city today. If there really is such a road..."

"It's certainly worth taking a walk."

It was rare that everyone reached a consensus so quickly, so they decided to act immediately. The group dispersed to gather information in the city...

......

In fact, Wuyue was not guessing; she genuinely knew that such a path existed.

After all, Stone had mentioned it in the chat earlier.

Of course, the exact location of the passage is still unclear.

However, it's not difficult to find it.

You can ask someone.

Fortunately, Wuyue still has some local connections she can utilize...

After leaving the inn, Wuyue headed straight for the north of the city, to the former royal palace, now the council chamber.

......

In front of the parliament building.

"Little girl, are you lost? Where are your parents?"

"Uh... I'm looking for Mr. Jamas, is he in?"

Wuyue was already used to this level of misunderstanding, so she got straight to the point.

"Speaker Jamas...it seems he went to the Great Water Clock today..."

The guards didn't adhere to any rules about keeping secrets and spoke frankly.

"A large water clock?"

"The great water clock in the northwest of the city, you don't know about it...?"

"Hey, stop talking, this news is not to be made public yet."

"Oh oh oh..."

The key information has already been heard perfectly clearly, okay...

I am ashamed of my lack of moonlight.

Lamenting the lax security here, Wuyue silently left and headed northwest of the city.

......

Looking towards the northwest of the city, one can see many piles of rubble, as well as a huge, unbroken rock.

Most importantly, the city walls here are still broken...

Perhaps this place happens to be backed by a mountain, so there's no need for city walls for the time being...

“Master, listen, there are many people behind that rock.”

"It's a good place to carry out construction, away from the public eye."

Bai Ye appeared and said.

Bypassing the boulder, a metal structure clearly crafted by dwarves is embedded in the mountainside.

"This... this must be the Great Water Clock... it truly lives up to its name."

Wuyue said.

Moreover, it fits the naming style of dwarven craftsmen.

Near the large water clock, there were also guards who immediately became alert upon seeing Wuyue and Baiye arrive.

“Construction site restricted; unauthorized personnel are prohibited from approaching.”

"I'm looking for Mr. Jamas."

"...What is your relationship with Speaker Jamas?"

"friend."

"Friends? How come I've never heard of Speaker Jamas having an orc girl as a friend?"

"Little girl, don't cause any more trouble, go home now."

“I really am here to see Mr. Jamas. You can ask him; he will definitely know me.”

The two guards exchanged a glance, both seeing the uncertainty in each other's eyes.

"Why don't we ask?"

"Then go ask, I'll stay here and keep watch."

......

Not long after, a man rushed out of the large water clock and immediately saw Wuyue.

"No Moon!"

It was Jamal, whom we hadn't seen for several years.

The once down-on-his-luck rebel fighter has now become a respectable person.

"Mr. Jamas"

Wuyue greeted him with a smile.

"It's been so many years... Hey? You're still so tall..."

"Uh......"

Immediately afterwards, Jamas's eyes flickered, and he saw Bai Ye next to Wu Yue.

“Miss Ruby…no, no, no, Walker…”

For a moment, Jamas didn't know how to address the person in front of him.
