It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field

Chapter 487 Talia: You are too miserable.

In the tavern.

As the noise around him grew louder, Ryan was patted from behind.

"What are you doing? Are you still thinking about what happened today?" Talia brought a plate of food and sat next to him.

"No, nothing..." Ryan laughed dumbly and took a sip of beer, "I just think there are a lot of doubts here."

They have encountered many things, big and small, in these days, but this is the first time they have heard the name "agent". They always feel that there are many interesting points in their words.

"You think there is another force plotting against us and the organization behind those three people, right?" Xiuge said as he sat aside without changing his expression.

"Yes," Ryan looked at him, "Do you feel the same way?"

Xiu Ge did not deny it.

Joey on the other side tore off a piece of meat and chewed it, saying, "Aren't they just a bunch of hooligans who ran away when they saw us? My "Joey Special·Smallpox"...

"That's enough," Jutman interrupted him quickly, "they ran away by the time you finished reading the name."

Then he turned to Ryan and said, "There are all kinds of forces in the capital. Let alone us, even the other side is stretched thin in these issues. You should be able to see how the knights of Aselant see those people, right?"

"Oh, yes."

At that time, when we asked about the fire in the royal palace, if it was caused by those agents, the knights of Aselant would probably consider the possibility of cooperating with them.

Ryan could sense that they had such thoughts.

"When I went to downtown last time, I heard that any dog ​​on the roadside in Melendelle could be a spy for the Funeral Hermits," Jas said with a gloomy expression.

"I also heard that in the wild land in the southwest of the continent, there is a flame alien goddess worshipped by the demons, who is actually a beautiful human girl."

Kidd appeared behind them despite the noise. The second prince of Hooffire, who was famous for sneaking into the kitchen, looked at them happily.

"Why? I heard that you guys successfully solved another incident today. Why are you all so sad?"

Ryan didn't think that could be called a successful solution.

In exchange for information, he briefly recounted to Kidd what had happened today.

"Agent?" Kidd suddenly fell into deep thought after hearing this.

"Why, do you have any idea?" Ryan turned around and asked.

"Hmm..." Kidd pondered for a while before speaking, "Although he didn't announce himself, he abandoned his base after being discovered. I did encounter one three days ago."

"what?"

Ryan stood up with his eyes wide open.

Kidd seemed quite surprised, and looked at them with a smile: "What's wrong? Don't we have to submit exploration logs every day? I didn't see the Fifth Princess as anxious as you when I wrote it in."

Seeing that several people were stunned, he smiled and climbed over from outside the chair, squeezed in between them without any image of a prince, and began to tear the chicken legs on the table and put them into his plate.

"Looks like we have something to talk about. That's great...your meals."

"..."

Joey looked at the two serious-looking Knights of Hooffire standing behind him with trembling lips. Is your prince a hungry ghost reincarnated, coming here to eat with adventurers?

As Kidd told his story with great interest, Ryan speculated that the organization the other party encountered and the one they encountered today should be the same organization based on factors such as strength level, work style, and the emblem of the transfer spell.

Abandoning the base without hesitation gives people the impression of being very decisive.

What surprised Ryan was that he originally thought it was just a small scattered force, but in fact it was deployed in different places, which meant that the scale of the other party might not be as small as he imagined.

To set the entire capital on fire...wasn't that just a casual remark?

"Didn't you submit your logs today?" Kidd, whose hands were dripping with grease, looked at them and said, "What did Rowe Brook say?"

"Rowei didn't say anything," Ryan closed his eyes and recalled, "He just asked me to be careful when checking."

"Yeah."

Kidd wiped his hands. He seemed a little too calm about this hidden legendary figure under the command of the Five Princesses, who gathered the information of all the delegations.

No one knew what they were trying to find out, but they just had to find out. Kidd didn't reject the opportunity to wander around Melendell. He had never thought of traveling around like this when he was in the capital of the Hooffire Kingdom. If he thought about it carefully, it would be easy to be blinded if he was too close.

but--

I don't know if it's his illusion. If the Fifth Princess and Luo Wei didn't tell them the truth, if they really wanted to play a big game, then maybe they were protecting them now. After all, knowing too much often means risk. I hope I'm just being too suspicious.

"Since Rowe didn't say there was a problem, then there shouldn't be any problem... right?" Talia said.

"When did you start speaking for Luo Wei like this?" Joey looked at her suspiciously, "Could it be that you also..."

"No, no." Talia quickly explained with a wry smile, "Then you are too miserable."

Joey: "..."

John: "..."

Ryan shook his head. After Talia came from Valais Mountain, she was indeed a rare female in the team. However, it would not be surprising if she wanted to join Rowe's side. After all, there were basically only girls there, and maybe that would make her more of a topic of conversation.

"Come to think of it," he turned and looked at Kidd again, "What is the reason you came to see us?" "Don't you know yet?!" Kidd looked at him in surprise, "The elite players from Lion Garden arrived in the royal city together this afternoon!"

"What's wrong with this...?"

Ryan indeed hadn't heard about it yet, but it was just the arrival of the players, so it shouldn't be so alarming, right?
Kidd shook his head and looked at him helplessly, "There are quite a few princes and nobles here."

Ryan: “Huh?”

He glanced at the others in confusion, and their reactions were not much better than his.

"He wants to say that there is a power struggle here," Xiu Ge leaned aside coldly, "Many of these people have the power behind them to influence the order of the royal city, especially those who have conflicts of interest with the five princesses."

Finally, there was someone who could understand, and Kidd finally felt that he was not talking to a cow.

"Don't you know that the Royal Athletic Pavilion is occupied?" Kidd complained to the others, "These people don't follow the rules of the Five Princesses. I was kicked out in the middle of my meal."

"W-what?" Ryan was stunned for a moment before realizing the seriousness of the problem.

"But this is not a problem. When I came out, I saw that the Fifth Princess's people were already showing up. If you understand the recent situation, you will know that the Second Prince of Lion Garden has completed the control of the Western Territory. His contestants also arrived today. He should arrive in the capital in a few days."

Seeing Ryan and the others start to lose connection again, Kidd shook his head and sighed.

"Don't you understand yet?" He began to admire their non-existent political sense. "The Second Prince and the Fifth Princess are mortal enemies, and our behavior during this period is almost equivalent to working for the Fifth Princess. What do you think this prince will do to us?"

"..."

Ryan and others were speechless for a moment.

"You mean, the prince will cause trouble for us?!"

"It's not that straightforward. If he did that directly, it would be stupid..." Kidd seemed to be talking to himself. "Anyway, if nothing unexpected happens, there will be additional sword fighting badges tomorrow. If these people also want to participate in the search, they should be more careful recently."

There are only a dozen days left before the official start of the elite competition.

All the delegations are moving at their own pace. Even those who were unwilling to cooperate at first are now mostly focused on searching for the badge.

His Highness did not treat them unfairly. In the first few days, they were questioned by the people of the royal city and provoked by the nobles, but the five princesses stood up to take the blame for them.

The mission also gradually cleared its name in the process.

If we do this now, wouldn't it be a bit like forcing them to join the camp of the Five Princesses if we are not careful?

That night, Ryan and his group returned to the villa and happened to meet a few people in luxurious clothes rushing out. They stopped there and took a look, and clearly felt the other party's unfriendly attitude.

"It feels a bit like the elite competition is irreconcilable, doesn't it?" Kidd turned around and said gloatingly after passing each other.

"Yes, yes..."

Ryan suddenly felt that he might have lied to them when he said he was kicked out...

The fifth princess was in the hall, and it could be seen that there had just been an argument, and representatives of several delegations thanked His Highness again and again.

"You're welcome," Lovelli said with his chin raised high and proud, "A mere marquis dared to pick a fight on my territory. I'm being polite by not giving them a few slaps in the face."

"Good evening, Your Highness the Fifth Princess." Kidd walked up first and said with a smile, "It seems that I am late and missed such a good show."

Lovely looked over with a trembling expression on her lips.

"Why did you jump out of the window for no reason? I heard someone say that you didn't want to be seen by them, did you?"

"Haha, am I not just helping you share your worries so that you don't have to waste your time and energy on a little prince like me?" Kidd continued.

Ryan and others: "..."

It turned out that he ran away by himself.

"Good evening, Your Highness the Fifth Princess," Ryan also took the initiative to greet her, "I heard that..."

"Oh, it's you." Loveli nodded nonchalantly, "Don't worry, things have been sorted out. I will guarantee your rights and interests here during this period."

It seemed that the winner of the argument just now was self-evident. Seeing that several delegations were dealing with Her Royal Highness the Princess, Ryan had no intention of continuing to disturb them.

The fifth princess looked over here.

"Oh, by the way," she said after a quick glance, "you have a good relationship with Luo Wei, right? He seems to have started preparing for the elite competition recently. You guys should also work harder."

"Okay, okay!" After waking up from a dream, Ryan's eyes became bright.

So that guy has already started preparing?
Ryan felt very motivated after hearing the news. Even though he understood the gap between the two sides, he must not lose to the other side so easily this time.

Talia shook her head and said, "What kind of obsession is this..."

After bidding farewell to the five princesses, they walked up the spiral staircase together. Ryan first glanced at Kidd, and then briefly paused his gaze on the delegations who came to express their gratitude.

I don't know if it was his imagination.

The agent, the complicated power relations, the arrival of the Lion Garden players, the second prince.

The competition was clearly very close, but the news he heard recently made him feel as if a storm was about to come.
