I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive - Chapter 610



63. Let Me Join In Too!

Sitting on my lap and going full power might not truly be an excuse or reasoning for the Insight Fairy Icarus, because even with the interference of the Wind Fairy Magnus, Icarus at least didn’t embarrass the self-disciplined fairies; she managed to track down the whereabouts of the Wind Fairy Magnus and Ludwig.

After the earlier battle with Kephiel, Ludwig didn’t escape directly using her “Door to Anywhere.” Rather, she seemed to have no intention of “escaping” at all, and instead headed straight to the rural areas of the Kingdom of Prus. Was she planning to use the endless sea of forests in the inland regions of Prus to evade Icarus’s search?

Time didn’t allow me to think too much; after all, with Ludwig’s escape and Icarus’s cooperation, the script emerging on my side wasn’t filled with reassuring words, but rather some content that looked dangerous, forcing me to remain on guard.

A few days later.

With Icarus under constant surveillance, there had been no more instances of anyone attempting to harm her in the city of Prussia. Under the leadership of Adeph, the elves of the Prussian Kingdom worked with remarkable efficiency; in just a few days, they had restored the core area that had been utterly devastated during the battle between Kephir and Ludwig. Although some additional functions could not be immediately restored, at least Icarus could return to her “studio.”

With the “equipment fully prepared,” Icarus’s abilities would become even more “precise.”

At this moment, back in the magic circle, Icarus quickly informed us, including the little fox Zelus, about Ludwig’s whereabouts.

“Triangulation complete. Without a doubt, both targets have not expanded their activities; they are all concentrated near an old elven elder in the countryside of the Prussian Kingdom.”

After completing her operations, Icarus cast a detached gaze at us. “Because both targets are elves, and I do not wish for my abilities to be detected by them, I cannot pinpoint their location within a meter. I can only determine a rough area. However, the targets have been active recently, and their location is absolutely correct.”

With that, the script appeared.

【The insightful fairy Icarus has found Ludwig’s location!】

Although I couldn’t determine the exact location, the script had already emerged, and the rough area mentioned by Icarus was undoubtedly accurate. In other words… since Ludwig had escaped previously, she had been lingering near the old elven nobility of the Prussian Kingdom.

Adeph had warned me earlier: Ludwig was a “wanted criminal” among the elves. Such a Sword Saint would certainly not hide there simply because she had “acquaintances.” So why had she not moved for so many days, risking being located by Icarus, and chosen to stay there instead?

Sigh… There’s no use in overthinking this. The best course of action is to defeat her and Magnus; all the troubles in the script would vanish along with them.

Sure enough, as soon as Icarus finished speaking, Adeph couldn’t hold back any longer.

Perhaps it was because Ludwig and Magnus had successfully infiltrated the so-called “most heavily guarded” city of Prussia and had almost disrupted the most important fairy, Icarus. Adeph, who had been harboring a sense of dissatisfaction, would not let this opportunity slip by to redeem herself and show them what the “Prussian Kingdom” truly meant!

“Icarus, remember to keep in touch with me and share any changes in their locations in real-time.”

Adeph adjusted her hat, and if I hadn’t stopped her, she would have already set off.

“Euclid, is there anything else? If there are no other issues, I need to leave for a while. I have to bring those two elves back; no one can come and go freely in my Prussian Kingdom and escape unscathed.”

What else is there? You just went from talking to action, and it was all business.

“Don’t be ridiculous. Haven’t you seen Ludwig’s power? Knowing her identity, you should understand better than I do how dangerous she is.”

I had already seen Adeph’s script, and although I couldn’t quite grasp the details of the “security threat” concerning her, it… probably had something to do with Adeph’s current mission.

To put it another way…

“Moreover, how do you plan to catch her?”

“How? Of course, I’ll bring people to catch her! Ludwig’s identity is special; even if I brought a whole squad, it would be useless. So, I’ll take my own guard, call on the elders in Prulith who have a good relationship with me, and then seek the assistance of the local old elven nobility. As long as we surround those two with layers upon layers, no matter how powerful they are, they won’t be able to escape. We elves are not some mere fish!”

I initially thought that Adev was just filled with hot blood and a desire for revenge, but her words clearly showed she was well-prepared.

However, this only made me more worried. If Adev encountered the dangers from the script without any preparation, that would be one thing. But why had she gone to such lengths to capture Ludwig, only to still… encounter danger!?

Feeling a bit frustrated, I realized I probably shouldn’t have rushed to have Icarus investigate Ludwig’s whereabouts.

But then, reluctantly, I had to make my decision.

After all, the dangerous script had already begun to spread since the previous battle, and its contents gave me a bad premonition that I simply couldn’t ignore.

“I’ll go too.”

“Eh?” Adev was momentarily taken aback, but quickly waved her hand, “No need! We’re not going to slay a dragon; it’s better to keep this kind of thing as secretive as possible. Your foreign identities will easily attract attention.”

“I know, that’s why I said I’d go with you. Icarus’s identity is special, and it wouldn’t be good for her to be running around everywhere. So, Clefair will stay here to protect Icarus, along with Zelus.”

After a pause, I looked at Adev. I had “discussed” this decision with Clefair, so it wouldn’t draw her opposition.

“I can just follow you. In places where Icarus can’t see, I’ll help you fill in the gaps so you can find them quickly.”

“But… that place… is also in the countryside, and it’s not within my ‘dominion’ in the Prulith Kingdom.”

“I’ll keep a low profile. If it’s just me tagging along, it shouldn’t affect you, right, Adev?”

I watched Adev, who seemed a bit “hesitant.” At least I had managed to persuade this elven girl.

In the past, with such a perfect opportunity to ditch Clefair, Adev wouldn’t just agree; she would probably drag me away immediately. But now that this opportunity was right in front of her, why was she hesitating?

“I… I understand. But you mustn’t leave the protection of our guard, okay, Oghlid?”

Adev’s final agreement broke my train of thought. The script hadn’t mentioned anything about Adev’s earlier hesitation.

Phew… For now, I should focus on Ludwig’s matter. After all, to deal with the dangerous scripts that had been appearing one after another, I had already begun to “prepare.”
