From Reincarnated Maid Knight

Chapter 6 The Kingdom of Corruption
Noelle turned the joint between the gauntlet and the vambrace, revealing the small pale hand in it, the tip of the thumb across the pad of the index finger, a drop of bright red blood was squeezed out of it, and dripped on the mirror.

The mirror surface is like ripples splashing on the surface of water, and the blood blends into it silently.

There was no movement.

If it was a parasitic monster, the mirror would emit purple light, but there was no reaction after the blood dripped in, and this was the first time the man saw it.

The man looked at Noelle suspiciously. The girl's pretty face had a face comparable to that of an elf. The armor on her body was extremely exquisite. Normally, the armor carefully crafted by many nobles could not reach this level of precision. There are no calluses from long-term use of weapons in the palm of the hand.

"you"

Before the man could say anything, white light suddenly appeared on the mirror that had been down for a while.

"Huh~" Nita breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Noelle was a spy sent by the Demon King's army. After all, she appeared alone in front of the capital's defense line, and she was from the "Knights of the West Wind", which she had never heard of before. Why? Look how weird.

"Let's go." Nita pulled Noelle.

"No," said the man who was a magician, "I'm sorry miss, you have to test again."

"What do you mean!" Nita's temper surged, and she stood in front of Noelle, "There is no problem with the magic mirror test, what do you want to do?!"

"Miss Nita, you also saw that the test just now is not right."

Nita wanted to argue again, but was grabbed by Noelle.

"It's okay to try again."

"Thank you for understanding." The man put the mirror back in front of Noelle.

Another drop of blood fell, and this time the white light in the mirror quickly lit up.

"Can we go now?" Nita crossed her arms and looked at the prosecutor coldly.

The man hesitated for a moment, and said: "The members of the original lion and wolf tooth adventure team can leave. This lady still needs to wait for a while, and I need to report the abnormality."

"you!"

Before Nita could get angry, Orton dragged the man aside, took out a bag of coins from his pocket, and stuffed them into the man's hand under the shadow.

"The test is no problem. She is from the Knights of the West Wind. Don't make things too ugly."

The man concealed the weight of the coin pouch, recalling the temperament of the girl and the armor that looked like a work of art, and finally a smile appeared on his face, "Captain Orton, you didn't say it earlier, it turned out to be from the Knights, let's go." Well, no problem."

Orton patted the man on the shoulder, waved his hands with a smile, and led Noelle and others towards the capital.

"Captain," Nita muffled, "Did you give the money to that greedy guy again?"

"Just like last time."

"I knew it!"

Noelle was puzzled, "Didn't the prosecutor seem to be quite dedicated to his duty?"

"Hey~ If I hadn't been tricked by him once, I would have thought the same as you." Nita looked disgusted, "When Sarina joined the team last time, he used the same method to trick her. All the priests dare to cheat! I am not afraid that the gods will punish him and chop him to death."

"Hahaha~" Fei Te said with a strange smile: "The kingdom is corrupt from top to bottom. The nobles will not go to the battlefield if they can, and if they can't, they will be hired. Maybe this time the demon king will recover, and the kingdom will disappear completely."

"The temple will not allow the Demon King's army to succeed." It was not Orton who refuted Feite, but Sarina, which made Noelle vaguely understand the situation of the kingdom in the brother killing world.

In this world where monsters are constantly refreshed with the passage of time, it is very similar to the world view of some games, and the economy of the coalition revolves around killing the demon king army and hunting monsters, and then feeds back to all walks of life in society.

Such a single-core economy driven by hunting monsters is extremely fragile and may collapse at any time.

'What do I want these for? ' Noelle shook her head.

"There is a second line of defense in front, and there is an outer city behind it, to test whether the consciousness has been taken away by the priests in the Demon King's army, but it is not very strict."

Noelle followed Nita and the others to observe the operation mode of the capital's defense line on a whim, until entering the inner city, the tense atmosphere dissipated in an instant.

There is no lifelessness at the defense line here, no darkness where the towering city walls of the outer city block the sun, only the prosperity of the human kingdom in a different world can be seen everywhere.

"Phew~ I'm finally back."

From Noelle's perspective, Orton, Nita and the others relaxed visibly, and their tiredness became more obvious.

"Let's go to the Adventurer's Guild to submit the mission first, clean it up there, and have a good meal in the evening." Orton took off his helmet, revealing an iconic uncle's face.

The Demon King recovered, and the Demon King's army continued to advance towards the capital. At this time, there were also a lot of adventurers in the Adventurer's Guild in the city.

The hall was as noisy as a tavern, where lizardmen, dwarves, witches, and elves could be seen everywhere. When Orton and the others pushed the door and entered, the voices remained undiminished. Only a few familiar people greeted Orton and used Curious eyes kept looking at Noelle.

Silver-level adventurers are already top-notch fighters in the border town, but they can be seen everywhere in the capital. Many people have silver adventure nameplates hanging around their necks, but gold-level adventurers are not one. No.

Orton and others walked to the counter and handed in the information written in advance in the outer city.

The lady at the counter was wearing a guild uniform with a white lining, a dark blue coat, and a bright yellow silk scarf. She was about twenty, with a smile on her collagen-filled face all the time.

"Are you handing in the entrustment? Please wait," the counter lady apologized after checking it out. "This time the intelligence mission is rather special. We need to send someone to conduct a second investigation before we can hand over the entrustment money to your team."

"It should be so." Orton nodded, and then turned his body sideways, exposing Noelle in front of the counter lady, "This person who wants to be an adventurer, please register for her."

"No problem." The counter lady smiled brightly.

"Your Excellency, let's go to the next door to clean up first, and we'll be here in a while, and have dinner together at night." Orton was very polite to Noelle.

"it is good."

This scene was watched by the lady at the counter, the smile on her face remained unchanged, but her heart was beating secretly.

How could a veteran silver adventurer be so respectful to a newcomer?
And this elf-looking girl in front of her, isn't the knight armor on her body a little nonsense?

The delicate lines on the exquisite armor must be the proud work of the dwarf master, but...whose dwarf master would make a semi-finished armor?Some parts of the girl's body were not protected at all. In the eyes of any adventurer, this armor is extremely unqualified, even if it looks like it was made by a famous expert.

If the apron-like fabric in front of the skirt was removed, the girl's armor might not be a formal dress for an army banquet.

Could it be the daughter of some great noble?Only this kind of status can drive the dwarf master to forge such a wonderful work, and can be treated respectfully by senior silver and other adventurers.

The counter lady, who was good at reading words and expressions, felt that she had already guessed the girl's identity very well.
