Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 469

 

Falsification



Is there really a problem with the current Edgeworth?


There's no way even the military police in the territory would not know about it.



"Ah, leader…"


"Did you forget what I told you beforehand?"


"...I'm sorry, Aniue."



The city where Lord Edgeworth lives is different from other imperial territories.


In other cities, traditional city walls and territory walls have been removed as the eradication of monsters within the empire's territory has progressed.


However, this is the only city where a lot of secret information is kept, and the city walls still exist.



"Never show your knight's insignia except in an emergency, okay?"


"""I understand!"""



I return the emblems that prove they are imperial temple knights to the three people.


This city's station is outside the city walls.


When entering the city, you will need to prove your identity to the military police at the gate and your belongings will be searched.



Temple knights also have the role of uncovering the wrongdoings of the privileged class of aristocrats.


For this reason, all knights have two registers.



The three of them confidently entered the territory.


I took the emblems of three people and jumped over the city wall.



"Were there any problems with the military police?"


"No, I didn't see anything particularly strange."


"Like Toraris, I didn’t feel any discomfort either, but…"


"We have never seen the symptoms of blue water, so we don't know how much we can judge."


"No, blue water clearly indicates an abnormality in your mind and body, so as long as you don't feel uncomfortable, it's fine. Be confident."



To what extent are they enemies or allies?


I can see the anxiety of the three of them who did not know even that.



For now, we'll head to the tavern and gather some information.

"Aniue…"


"Hmm?"


"Aren't you going to collect information?"


"We're collecting them, right?"



As expected, we can't drink alcohol, so we're all drinking tea.



"What is it, Toraris? You can eat as much as you want on Lead... Aniue's behalf, you know?"


"You've been eating at the edge for a while now, haven't you? I'll eat it, though."



That's fine


It's impossible to get to the core all of a sudden.



"You can listen to what's going on in the tavern while you eat. You can do that, right?"


"I can do that, but… is there something strange?"



There isn't one


It's strange because there isn't one


There are disturbing rumors even in the imperial capital, but there are no suspicious rumors in this town.



"Edgeworth's main office is very strict about identification and checking of belongings, but you are basically free to come and go."


"Is that strange?"


"Rumors from the imperial capital aren't flowing here."


"Ah……"



If you know there are suspicious rumors going around, you'll take some kind of countermeasures.


No matter how strictly regulated


It is impossible to limit all rumors


If it's done, then it's not the work of humans.



"How should we act?"


"Tonight, we'll stay at the inn in front of the gate. We'll keep an eye on people coming and going from there."


"The four of us?"


"No, just the three of you. I'll wander around a bit after midnight."
