"Hua Wuming, take me to find Zuozong's whereabouts"
After explaining what happened with Zozon, Shure seemed about to attack, but was stopped by Sergio.
"No, Hua Wuming."
"Why, it has nothing to do with Sergio!"
"No, it's there, and that's a big deal. Quiet, isn't that the Bounty Head? In that case, it's the Chariot's prey. We can't let the party advance alone, Leos."
"That's right, I can't let you stab me, I will kill my prey safely and securely."
“There is no such thing as a statute of limitations in this world.”
Once the reward is paid, no matter how many years pass, the victim will not be acquitted unless he withdraws the case.
Also, if a person registered as an adventurer becomes a bounty, he or she will no longer be able to work through the guild.
When you register with a guild, you need to bleed and register your magic pattern to verify your identity, so once you register, you won't be able to register again using a fake name.
The seemingly skilled werewolf was acting as a bodyguard in the slums probably because he was on the guild's list of criminals.
"I met the werewolf bodyguard when I killed Fox. I can't be sure because we didn't fight, but even Leos and Silence would have a hard time killing him without any injuries. Hua Wuming, how are you? "
"Yeah, I think if you want to kill him safely, it's best not to indulge in one-on-one competition."
Shure, whose cousin she was close to was brutally murdered, likely wanted to take revenge herself.
It seems that the chariot is a little dissatisfied with the subjugation of one party.
"I don't think Miss Lilia would want Shull to get hurt."
"Hua Wuming, okay, the important thing is to avenge Lilia, not to wake me up."
Shure took a deep breath and relaxed his shoulders.
"So, how will the crusade be carried out? Leos"
"First, we need to confirm that he is registered as a bounty and confirm that he is Sazon himself."
"If it were Sazon himself, I would know it when I saw it."
"By the way, after confirming the guild registration, we will assume that the werewolf is Zuo Zong. Fox, do you know his behavior pattern?"
The brother who was suddenly nominated by Leos showed a slightly surprised expression, but nodded and began to speak.
"The guy's name was Gore in the ghetto. It wasn't uncommon for people to use fake names in the slums, and Gore was also a pseudonym. I don't know what Gore did during the day, but when it got dark and by the time customers came to the slum streets, he was about Staring down the street once an hour. I never saw him take him anywhere and leave. No one in that town dared stand up to Al Gore."
Leos nodded after listening to his brother's explanation, prepared paper and pen, and asked him to draw a simple map of the slums.
"Then I'll come up with a strategy, but I don't know what's going to happen at the location, or what kind of interference will happen, so I'll keep the characters simple. The ones attacking Zozon are Shure and Sergio. Me, Gad, and Hua Wu Ming. Prevent escape.
The strategy Leos devised was extremely simple.
While Sazon was out on patrol, he came out of the alley and walked west down the street, so Leos and Shure ambushed him there.
Once it was confirmed that he was Sazon himself, Shull intervened and Leos blocked the road behind him, preparing to escape.
Similarly, Gad will block the east side of the street, and I will use natural magic to block the alley.
Sergio and I climbed onto the roof of the warehouse together and fired arrows at Zozon from above to support Shull.
"Hua Wuming, can you use the magic that binds the bronze wolf to restrain Zuo Zun, and at the same time prevent him from escaping into the alley?"
"Yes, no problem. Whether it's arms, legs or torso, I'll tie it wherever you like."
"So, start at your waist. When you can't move from that position, restrain your dominant arm."
"I got it"
"Aim from below the abdomen to prevent Serrugio from escaping."
"give it to me"
"Sruel depends on the terms of the bonus payment but if it doesn't matter whether he lives or dies, I don't mind killing him."
"I will try my best."
The strategy dictated by Leos was to ensure the greatest possible safety and then allow Shure to deliver the final blow.
If you don't mind me ending, there are many ways, such as death suffocation, powerful lightning magic circle, and powerful crushing magic circle.
However, since he is Shure's cousin's enemy, it is Shure's job to guide him.
"Laius, when are you going to do it?"
"You can't wait too long, can you?"
"Of course, I will go to the guild to confirm, and it will be fine tonight."
"No, wait a minute, be quiet. Hua Wuming did a good job yesterday. The situation in the shantytown has probably changed. I can confirm it after a reconnaissance."
The area near the loophole exit was blown away by the shattering magic circle, so the situation in the slums may have changed as Sergio said.
It would be best to make sure that the person who appears to be Sazon is acting the same as before.
"Hua Wu Ming"
"Understood, I'm going out for reconnaissance tonight."
"Don't be distracted. Let silence teach you the ropes."
"It doesn't matter if I go with you, I won't get ahead of myself."
"Really? Then go and see if it's Zuo Zong himself."
Raios paused, looked around at the members, and then spoke.
"The celebration of Hua Wuming's promotion will be left to you first. After conquering Zuo Zong, we can then organize a grand celebration. It depends on the reconnaissance situation tonight, but everyone must be prepared tomorrow night."
After the meeting, Shure and Sergio went to the guild to see if Sazon had been registered as a bounty.
It seems that after what happened thirteen years ago, Zuo Zong still continues to commit crimes. The reward is ten gold coins, and catching him is a matter of life and death.
Sergio also confirmed the wanted list distributed to the guild, and it appears that the caricature's characteristics match the appearance of Ghetto Bouncer Gore.
Now all that's left is to make sure Sazon aka Bodyguard Gore is still patrolling the slums.
When I told Shure, who came back from the guild, that when I first met Sazon, he noticed me on the roof, he told me how to stay vigilant.
"The most important thing is not to stare at the subject, but to see it as part of the landscape."
It seems that people who are proficient in martial arts can feel their gaze when they stare intently.
"I can't, but I guess it's like feeling what's called murderous intent."
I'm told that words are spoken faster than words, so I decided to watch Schuler walking in the front yard from the roof of the base, but things didn't go as expected.
First, Schuler realized that I was looking at him and that he was hampered by having only one eye.
Since I can only see with my right eye, I've gotten into the habit of staring at objects in a narrow field of view, trying not to mistake the distance.
We practiced until the evening, but since our Scorch Knife skills ran the risk of being noticed by Sazon, I was just a guide and Shure did the reconnaissance.
"Everyone has something they are not good at. Hua Wuming has a disability in one eye, so there is nothing he can do. As long as you don't rush to practice, Hua Wuming can do it."
Schuler comforted me like this, but I was a little depressed. Things did not go as planned, because I achieved more than expected in conquering the orcs here, killing the rats as required, and attacking the school.
However, in order to prevent the younger brother who is in a difficult situation from losing motivation, let's try to use chess pieces to overcome this obstacle.
After dinner, I changed into black clothes and headed to the warehouse district with Schuler.
In a deserted alley, I built scaffolding for the school and climbed to the roof.
"You don't need a ladder, you can climb anywhere. Hua Wuming is super talented."
“We have to overcome the shortcomings of surveillance.”
"Don't worry, I will teach you a lesson. In exchange, I will serve as a pillow for tuition."
"If it's a pillow, it's an older brother."
"No, Fox's fur isn't good enough."
Shure made no sound as he walked across the warehouse roof, even though he was gibbering.
When I crouched down a little farther from where I had been found and began to stake out, the sign of Schuyler disappeared.
Even though they were close together, they seemed to be looking at their own shadows, deliberately weakening their presence as living beings.
He not only had to control his gaze, but also his breathing and even his pulse.
Looking at the slum at night from the rooftops, nothing seems to have changed since the attacks.
"If anything, there's no big brother waiting for customers."
Then, about twenty minutes later, a werewolf bodyguard walked out of the alley.
As we had discussed beforehand, I hid behind the roof and only Shure continued to keep watch.
"Without a doubt it's Sazon."
Even after his cousin's revenge was confirmed, Schuler was no longer distraught.
After confirming that Sazon would continue patrolling at the previous speed, I returned to the base.
