I'm not that kind of orc

"Before that, we have to solve the current situation first. I will start preparing the antidote immediately. This kind of poison is not complicated. Give me an hour to prepare the formula." Roland said seriously, then raised his face and looked at me "But... the problems behind this kind of incident cannot be solved with a bottle of antidote."

"..." I also realized the seriousness of the problem, so I couldn't help but put on a straight face.

Daisy looked back and forth at us: "What do you mean?"

"The water source of the military fortress has been strictly guarded. It is completely closed when it is unattended, and last night was no exception." I explained to her, "It is impossible for people outside the fortress to have access to the water source."

Poisoning the water source to destroy the enemy in a stronghold is very efficient, but anyone with a little military knowledge will think that the water source of a fortress cannot be poisoned so easily, and usually only the people inside the fortress have the opportunity to touch it source of water.

"That is to say..." Daisy came to her senses.

"There are ghosts inside." I concluded in a low voice, "There are spies planted by the enemy in this fortress!"

This is the most reasonable explanation.

"Is the management of this fort so loose?" Daisy frowned slightly.

"On the contrary, because there are important figures from several races staying in this fortress, the military management here is much stricter than most military strongholds." Roland denied her statement.

"If you have my level of infiltration, it may not be impossible." Daisy shrugged, "But I guess it would be difficult for them to recruit such a rare talent like me."

"I think the time for the enemy to sneak in should not be earlier than yesterday. If they have a way to poison the water source, it would be the best policy to poison all of us before attacking the city. The problem may be in yesterday's battle. Maybe it was mixed in at that time." Roland speculated.

It does make sense.

But the problem is that after a battle, in order to count the casualties, the fortress should have just conducted a personnel check and search. I don't think that simply taking advantage of yesterday's chaos to sneak into the fortress will not be caught out.

The ghost... how did he get in here?

There is an insider, terminate the transaction (3)

It is true that as Roland said, the seriousness of the existence of an inner ghost is far greater than the problem of poisoning the water source.

The latter just means that the water source cannot be used until the antidote and purification plan come out, while the former means that there may be countless poisonings and information leaks before the inner ghost is caught. Even at the moment, it is difficult for us to be sure How much internal information has been leaked by spies who have infiltrated the fortress.

In order to prevent the people in the fortress from being shaken, Mutafa, who finally learned of the incident, temporarily closed the wells in the fortress for other reasons.

Fortunately, Roland's development of the antidote was relatively smooth. Before noon, she produced a finished product that was said to be able to detoxify and purify the water source, temporarily relieving the crisis of the death of all the fortress.

However, the problem still lies in the invisible ghost.

After the information came up, Mutafa once again sent people to check the personnel in the fortress, and arranged for the knights around him to conduct a carpet search of the fortress, but found nothing.

Considering the possibility of the enemy attacking again the next night, this inner ghost might become a deadly hidden danger.If the insider assassinates important figures in the fortress during the melee or before the battle, the morale of the army will inevitably be fatally hit, and it may even rise to a political issue at the national level—it is not impossible, after all The fortress now brings together the heirs to the throne of two great powers.

After thinking hard for a while, I thought of a way.

For this reason, I found Mutafa and made a proposal to him: "...the situation in the fortress is not clear, why not temporarily transfer Her Highness Arsena and Alisa out of the fortress now."

"Your Highness will not agree. Your Highness has taken care of you a lot, don't you know her at all?" Mutafa frowned at me solemnly, "I don't know about Princess Saidian, but since That His Highness also participated in the battle here with his own will, presumably he will not shrink back because of this kind of thing."

"I don't mean to really let them evacuate, but to use them as bait to fish out the inner ghost." I said slowly, "We will send out the news that they are leaving, and make a loophole before we leave. Keep a very small number of guards around. If the inner ghost finds this kind of god-given opportunity, he should not miss this opportunity, and then we will be able to catch the spy's tail!"

If you think about it differently, for a spy,

"Are you out of your mind? In order to prevent the spies from being unfavorable to them, you deliberately created an opportunity for the spies to attack them? If I were an insider, with such a good opportunity, I would do it even if I knew I would be exposed. If they What’s the point of finding out the spies?” Mutafa stared at me, reaching out to grab the hammer by the wall, “I’m going to suspect that you’re the insider, why don’t I let you go Test your brain?"

What else can be detected besides how much of my brain is there?

"Don't, don't! Listen to me first!" I quickly waved my hand at him, "This plan is not as dangerous as you think, I have a way to absolutely guarantee their safety!"

"What way?" Mutafa stared at me.

I looked around, and in order to prevent the partition from having ears, I took the pen and paper on his desk and wrote the plan on it.

Mutafa read what I wrote and frowned slightly.

After a few seconds of silence, he raised his face and lowered his voice and said, "If there are only a few guards left, won't it make people suspicious?"

He asked this, indicating that he was already seriously considering the feasibility of this plan.

"Probably not. Since there is an inner ghost, isn't it normal to leave only a few trustworthy people to protect the princess without knowing who has the problem?" I also lowered my voice.

Mutafa thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay, there is some truth to that, but we can't really leave no guards behind, at least we need to find someone we can really trust."

"I'll do it." I directly recommended myself.

"You? The old man can't believe it." Mutafa cast a distrustful look directly.

"Don't bring personal prejudice!" I sighed helplessly, "I'm not boasting about how good I am. One, the insider should be more likely to make a move."

Mutafa nodded thoughtfully: "It makes sense, then the insider will have a chance to sneak attack and kill you... Cough, I mean, the insider is more likely to take the bait."

"You've spoken out your thoughts, hey!" I was so moved by this old guy that I wanted to roll my eyes, "I'm one of my own after all, so don't be so mean, okay?"

"Just kidding, don't take it so seriously." Mutafa suddenly smiled and patted my shoulder.

"oh, I see……"

I was a little surprised that this old knight who had always been so serious rarely joked.

Then Mutafa went on to say: "I have reserved your head a long time ago, and I will not give it up to others casually."

Meanwhile he continued patting me on the shoulder.

"This... is also a joke?" I carefully confirmed.

"What do you think?" The smile on Mutafa's face grew wider.

"Tell me you're joking!!"

Mutafa agreed to my proposal, and the agreement of Arsena and Princess Alyssa is a matter of smooth sailing.

After noon, we arranged a carriage with great fanfare to take Alsena and Princess Alyssa out of the city. I stood beside the carriage as a guard, and the rest of the staff were pretended by a few golems.

We deliberately parked the carriage near the rear exit of the fortress to prepare for the final departure. Although there are many soldiers walking around and patrolling, there are many places where we can snipe and sneak attack.

I looked around for a while, and then pretended to load the luggage on the carriage. When I opened the door of the carriage, Arsena and Princess Elisa who were sitting in the carriage looked at me at the same time.

"Mr. Bullock, you don't need to bother you to do such trivial things as carrying the luggage yourself. Just leave it to the golem. You can go to the carriage to rest for a while." Arsena waved at me.

"I made some snacks, do you want to try Brock?" Princess Alisa took out a dining basket, and the sweet smell overflowed from it.

"Okay." I saw that there was nothing unusual around me for the time being, so I temporarily got into the carriage and closed the carriage door.

"This way." Alsena patted the seat beside her.

I looked back and forth at the two people on the left and the right, thinking that it didn't matter which side I sat on, so I sat beside Arsena.

"Hee hee." As soon as I sat down, Arsena put her arms up with a smile, and put her face on my arm.

There is an insider, terminate the transaction (4)

I pulled out my hand somewhat helplessly, and moved away from Arsena a little.

However, with just a slight movement of her buttocks, Arsena's arms rewrapped around like octopus tentacles.

I wanted to continue to break free, but the girl clung even tighter with even greater force.

At this time, Princess Alisa, who was sitting opposite, took out a biscuit from the dining basket and handed it to me with a smile: "Come on, Classmate Bullock, ah—"

The biscuit came to my mouth in a flash, and at the same time she lovingly spread her other hand underneath to catch the crumbs.

The biscuit seemed to have been baked not long ago, and there was still a little bit of warmth. An extremely rich and sweet smell rushed into my nostrils, mixed with the aroma that obviously did not belong to ordinary biscuits.

I raised my hand blankly and took the biscuit into my hand and looked at it for a while: "You, can you still make biscuits?"

"Yes, after the change, I will learn it naturally." Princess Alisa stared at me expectantly, "Hurry up and try it."

I continued to look at the biscuit, and then looked at her suspiciously: "Let me make sure that there is nothing strange added to this biscuit, right?"

"Of course not." The "Princess Alyssa" in front of me smiled, "It's just a little bit of fun, hehe."

I supported my forehead with a bit of a headache, and then put the biscuits back into the dining basket: "Although I am very grateful that you specially made desserts, I can't eat such suspicious things... and you! Let go!"

I glared at "Alsena" who had been stalking me.

"What's the matter? Now we are in the carriage, and no one can see outside." The girl hugged her arms even tighter with a playful smile.

At the same time, the "Princess Alisa" on the opposite side also got up and approached me, put her hands on my shoulders, and slowly approached me: "Let's do something fun together!"

Tsk, I really want to pick up these two goods and throw them out.

Although I came up with this plan myself, I regret it a little now.

"Although I came here to trouble you on purpose, can you be a little more professional?" I tried to break free, and put two hands on the foreheads of each person to push them both away, "I said , this is a serious matter related to the safety of the entire fortress!"

"This person doesn't understand! For me, the only business is with my dear Qingqing! Hehehehe..." "Alsena" tried to post it again regardless.

"This is a great opportunity to make out with two lovely girls, my dear." "Princess Alisa" showed a wicked smile, avoided my hand and rushed towards me.

This has been completely returned to its original shape!

"I beg you, can you hold on a little longer?" I tried to push the "two people" away while persuading helplessly, "How do you get the prey to take the bait?"

The carriage was so noisy that it kept shaking, even if the inner ghost wanted to assassinate, he would definitely be suspicious when he saw this scene.

Sitting in the carriage, I just wanted to give an opening to the inner ghost who might be watching here and waiting to make a move, so as to lure him to make a move. I didn't expect this girl to only pretend to be this kind of thing in her mind.

Just when I couldn't bear to stop her loudly, I suddenly heard several strange noises from far to near at the same time, and there was a faint green fire flickering through the gaps in the windows of the carriage.

Then before I could react, the carriage exploded with a thunderous bang.

The carriage was instantly shattered, and the dark green flames pressed over, surrounded the space up, down, left, and right in an instant, and it was about to swallow us up.Countless phantoms of wraiths faintly appeared in the flames, and countless painful faces flashed and wailed in the flames.

This is obviously not a normal flame, but from some kind of dark magic, which makes people feel that even a slight touch may cause fatal damage.

However, a black film-like barrier suddenly appeared around us, directly separating the flames——"Shadow Demon's Protection".

The moment the protective shield appeared, a black mist appeared on the bodies of "Alsena" and "Princess Alisa" beside me at the same time, and their figures quickly changed into the same appearance in the black mist—— charming It has a long face, blood-red eyes, a pair of sharp horns, black wings with red webs, and a dangling tail.

This is the real body of the two princesses—"they" are actually Vanessa and her clone, and this appearance is only transformed by the mirror demon that Vanessa absorbed in the past.

Mirror Demon's copying ability is quite comprehensive. Even if it is just a clone, it can imitate the voice habits and skills of the imitated object in a decent way.

Vanessa seems to have made pranks on Princess Alisa and Alsena before, similar to invading dreams, so she can use this as a medium to copy them with the ability of the mirror demon, and even save the process of ingesting body fluids.

The only problem... is that this girl's self-control is really a bit weak.

Fortunately, the inner ghost on the opposite side took the bait and moved his hand to the carriage carrying the two "princesses" and me.

I heard a strange sound just now, it should be the sound of magic flying from a distance, that's right.Just looking back, I feel like I just heard plural voices, and they came from different directions.

"It actually interrupted my good business..."
