–Aninsar

I use my wind magic to blow away the soldiers blocking my way.

My magic power on the guild card was already at S. I realized that I had reached the same level as when I had thoroughly strengthened Markus in the game.

However, my physical strength is still at C, probably because I haven't been working out hard enough.

"It's tremendous. Allen's wind magic."

The Duke says so as if he is impressed, but this is probably thanks to the blessings of the〖Wind God〗.

I'm really glad that I was able to help Jerome-kun with his wedding arrangements at that time.

However, I don't have time for such sentimentality right now.

"Duke, over here."

"Ah"

After meeting up with the Duke's bodyguards who were waiting in the waiting room, we pushed our way through the soldiers standing in our way and ran out into the town.

Then we ran down the main street, and after a short distance, we entered an alley. After running through the intricate alleyways, we came to the entrance of the sewers.

"Then, I'll disturb the capital as planned. In the meantime, the Duke and the others should go through the sewers. I'll return from the sky after I escape alone."

"Oh, be careful."

"Duke also, please don't make Anna sad by dying here."

"……Oh. That's right. Can't die until I see my grandkids."

The Duke smiled and disappeared into the dark sewers without looking back.

I've already done a preliminary survey of the sewers with one of the Duke's attendants, and there's a squad hidden at the exit of the sewers to escort the Duke.

All I have to do is distract the soldiers so that they don't get to know that the Duke and others are in the sewers.

It's a dangerous mission, but with the 【Concealment】 and 【Alchemy】 skills, it's the perfect job for me.

I close the entrance to this sewer and lock it with 【Alchemy】. Since I can transform the shape of things, this is easy enough. I can only thank the Lurden Store for selling me such a cheat skill at such an unbelievable price.

Now, I need to hide using 【Concealment】 and immediately start a diversionary strategy.

The first thing to do is to create a foul-smelling commotion near the center of the city. The gas, which emits a strong odour like rotten eggs, is sealed with thin ice and set off one after another around the guard posts.

When this dissolves, the stench begins to drift.

Although it was bad for the people on the street, the amount of gas was not harmful to their health if they were outdoors, so it was not a problem.

I also poured a warm liquid that smelled strongly of ammonia on the bodies of the soldiers on guard duty.

The ammonia is just a reference, but there is a prospectus that the pungent smell will make people notice it right away.

This was, how to say it, very effective, although I felt like I had done a very bad thing because the people started distancing from friends immediately.

Thus, after creating a commotion of stench and fake filth near the center, I moved on to the north gate.

Then this time, a bomb with little or no lethal effect detonated i.e, a bomb with reduced pressure to reduce the explosive force and prevent fragments from flying around, caused a commotion.

On the way, I had an idea and bought some flour and put it in the bomb, which also helped to create a fuss.

The flour rising up from the ground looked like it was on fire, which made a great impact. The idea was a success as it attracted a large number of soldiers.

I made sure that there was no fire, so it didn't turn into a dust explosion. However, if there was a spark somewhere and it ignited, it would have been a disaster, so I stopped at once…….

Umm. I guess I got a little carried away. I'm sorry.

By the way, there's a reason why I've been creating a diversion from the center to the north gate.

The Duke of Ramslett's territory is located to the south of Lurden. Therefore, you would normally think that the duke would break through the south gate.

So the aim is to make people think that they are trying to draw the troops away from the South by creating a commotion in the North.

Of course, the real goal is to divert attention away from the sewers, so it is fine if the troops gather in the north, or conversely, if they focus on the south. Furthermore, they may even search the central area thoroughly.

If they get a little confused and act in a meaningless way, then my plan is a success.

Satisfied that I had made commotion to some extent, I finished my mission on the north side and headed for the east gate.

＊＊＊＊

As expected, the east gate was tightly closed. It seems that the order not to let the duke escape has been conveyed to them in one way or another.

By the way, according to what I overheard, it seems they're saying that the Duke has gone mad and tried to harm the king, and that's why the capture of the entire duke's family was ordered.

The fact that this order has been issued means that there is a good chance that a subjugation army will be formed against the Duke of Ramslett.

As expected, it seems to have turned out to be the worst possible pattern.

Although the situation is different from the game, it seems that the fate of the overly powerful Duke of Ramslett, who is marginalized and ostracized by that foolish king, has not changed after all.

But there is no doubt that the presence of a foreign character, which is me, has greatly twisted his fate.

Even though Anna had gone through something like that, I hadn't given up hope.

Duke, Friedrich-san, and Elisabeth-san are still alive.

If I work hard towards my goal, I can twist that fate as much as I want.

Then I'll just do what I can.

I approached the gate for the general public while hiding using 【Concealment】. Then, I process a good flaming liquid on the spot, put it in the straw I had brought and lit it on fire.

The lit straw burns in an instant and then spread to the wooden gate.

The sudden outburst of fire sent the East Gate into a state of panic. I quietly left the scene as the soldiers scrambled left and right to put out the fire.

"They say the hens will be cackling tomorrow night. I ploughed the field yesterday."

~Gacha~

The door was unlocked, and I went straight into the Lurden Store.

"Welcome. I see you're back safe and sound. What can I get for you today?"

"I came to Scout. Sooner or later, the royal capital will be in turmoil. Before that happens, Would you like to come to the Dukedom of Ramslett?"

"Oh, But you're the one who overthrew the Est Empire, aren't you? For the hero of the Kingdom to say such a thing, Is this a civil war?"

"It doesn't matter what you think, but I want to continue trading. That's what I came to say. Sorry to interrupt."

That's all I said and left the store.

Then I walked through the dark back alley to the Adventurer's Guild. There, I secretly handed a letter to my master, Monica-san, and the rest of the adventurers who are my acquaintance.

I might be a wanted man, so I didn't show my face. I secretly left the letter on the desk or tucked it into their pocket.

The content is, of course, a request to leave the royal capital and not to be hostile to the Duke of Ramslett.

Especially when it comes to war, adventurers are likely to be hired as mercenaries.

If that happens, I may end up having to kill my seniors.

It may be selfish of me, but I don't want any of the people who have helped me to die here.

I'm sure they will listen to me. It was frustrating that I could only believe that, but it was not good to stay too long.

After finishing everything I had to do in the capital, I walked out of the east gate, which got burned down when the fire spread during the day.
