The Porter Is Not Interested in the Hero Party - The Porter Is Not Interested in the Hero Party chapter 149

149 – Hero party’s Decisive Battle (1)

The dark alleyway was full of damp dampness. In a space where the only human beings were the flirtatious laughter and indolence of demons, a soldier looked around and cautiously moved into a back alley. He wore a small wine bottle around his waist, and in his hand was a piece of meat he had taken from the supply depot.

His face, equipped with demon-like wickedness and meanness, was stained with selfishness, and he opened his mouth to covet food.

“Oops!”

However, the food couldn’t pass into his mouth. The wine bottle and the piece of meat rolled on the floor, and I cut the bottle away with a sheath and covered the meat dumplings with dirt. Buried in the damp, messy soil, even delicious food was indistinguishable.

“town… ! town!”

“Shh.”

He was looking at us with a puzzled expression. Lena raised a finger and smiled faintly. When I signaled him to be quiet with a nod of my head, the soldier hurriedly nodded in understanding.

“Now, do you understand? I’ll release your mouth from now on, but if you try to scream, I’ll kill you right away.”

The soldier nodded again. The look that seemed to release it quickly was full of fear rather than hostility. Millet was looking around from the second floor of a slum building, while Ashria and I stood in front of the door, checking our blinds to see if anyone was coming.

When Lena removed her palm, the soldier exhaled lightly and spoke in a low voice.

“Why, why are you doing that… … .”

The warrior sat in a corner and asked the soldier.

“Where is the Demon King?”

I was familiar with the geography of the demon king, but I didn’t know where the demon king was. In other words, it meant that if you knew where the demon king was, you could guide your party members to the fastest way to get there.

The soldier blinked at the hero’s question and shook his head.

“Mo, I don’t know. I’m a perimeter guard, so I’ve never been inside the castle. Please save me… … .”

Lena stared into the soldier’s eyes. And she asked the soldier.

“Think carefully. From the beginning, step by step. huh? Didn’t you hear a little bit about where the Demon King is? Now, let’s go back from last night. What did you eat for dinner last night?”

The soldier rolled his eyes and twisted his face. After thinking it through, he vomited the dinner menu.

“I killed bones, bones.”

“Okay, didn’t the Commander talk about the Demon King during dinner? lets think.”

Lena tapped the soldier on the shoulder again and asked. The soldier saw the dagger in Lena’s hand and quickly rolled his eyes. The soldier, who had been thinking hard, rolled his eyes again and hurriedly opened his mouth.

“That… !”

Lena didn’t listen to the soldier’s answer to the end. She swung the dagger lightly, and the soldier’s body flew lightly as if it had been separated from the beginning. Neither I nor the Hero stood in a daze, unable to find the timing to be surprised by Lena’s sudden attack. Lena grabbed the soldier’s neck and threw it to the floor so that the blood wouldn’t splatter on us. The black blood pouring down the drain proved that he was a demon.

The hero got out of his bewildered mood and asked Lena.

“Why, is that so?”

“You are lying. The word “perimeter guard” is true, but I don’t know what the back story is about, but it seemed like useless false information, so I just killed it.”

Blood was pouring into the sewers. It was like the sound of a flowing river, and the sound of the water crossing the silence brought a strange sense of tension. said the warrior.

“As expected, isn’t it difficult to find out from the soldiers? Because the Demon King won’t reveal his location so openly.”

I took her word for it and said.

“I will guide you through introspection. You can’t get there right away, but you can get there in no time by taking a less-traveled road. The soldiers on duty there should be able to grab one and ask him about it.”

The warrior looked at the corpse on the floor and said.

“What about this corpse? If the soldier doesn’t come back, they’ll get caught?”

Lena gestured to me without hesitation. I realized her intentions and manipulated the wall to open a smuggling hole. As Lena pushed the corpse little by little with her feet, the corpse was sucked through the narrow hole and disappeared.

The hero said admiring the scene that seemed to throw away garbage.

“It’s neat.”

“Our soldiers down below will be a little embarrassed.”

“What are you going to do?”

Lena packed her gear again. I watched the movement beyond the door. It was common for a soldier to disappear with a drink, but the soldiers showed no signs of looking for the missing person yet. I signaled to everyone just in time for the patrol to pass through the slums, and we moved one step after another along where the soldiers couldn’t see.

The Knights’ slum patrols were organized around sparsely populated areas. A place where it is difficult for people to come and go, but you can come and go in one course at the Resistance Knights training ground. This patrol route, which was structured in a large circle, was now used to guide the people of the kingdom to the inner city.

Things like slum patrols were more likely to be taken by knights from other, lesser families than by other fellow knights, so it wasn’t information that those from aristocratic families could know. Because of that, I was pretty sure there would be no patrols on this road, and as I expected, soldiers were mostly patrolling the boulevards in this maze of slums.

Lena said in a low voice as she watched the soldier pass us by one block.

“There really is no one here. It’s about to make me faint.”

“It is a route that only some knights and guards know. It’s usually complicated, so I don’t even think about coming this way.”

Noble knights do not want to come to the slums. I smiled bitterly as I recalled the thought. They and I were friends, but in the end there was a strange line.

I shook my head and closed my eyes to erase the memories that came up whenever I thought of that line.

There was an old gate on the way along the wall. It was padlocked, thick and battered, and looked difficult to open. However, Lena walked past me and approached the door, took a small pin from her wrist, and began tapping the lock.

As she poked around like she was torturing a small animal, she smiled at me as she pushed the pin deep. The door opened with a click, and I could see the scenery beyond the door filled with junk and old furniture.

“ah… .”

Lena let out a sigh mixed with breath, and Ashuria and Millet also shook their heads. The hero said while touching the dusty weapons and junk.

“It’s not an imperial thing, it’s a Demonic thing. It looks like the demons piled it up.”

The dust was like a spider’s web, and the stale air obscured the torches on the other side. I looked around and said things.

“Since there are no patrols this way, it seems that they locked the door and used this alley as a warehouse. These are things you never use.”

“No, I don’t think you need to come and patrol the slums now, but this is a bit unpleasant. how do you get past Got too many things? If you break it down, it will be too noisy.”

“Shall I go?”

At Millet’s words, everyone looked at her, then at the alley. In between the charred clutter, there was theoretically a hole for a person to enter. There was a bizarre gap that could exist only under the assumption that a person floats in the air and moves like a ghost.

the warrior asked.

“Are you okay?”

“It’s fine. Enough of this.”

Then she held on to one of the odds and ends, rolling her eyes this way and that, surveying the terrain around her. Then, as if a cat were moving, it slipped through the cracks with quick, light movements and disappeared inside.

While we widened our eyes, Miele waved at us from inside and smiled. Ashuria gave a thumbs up saying it was great, and Lena rubbed her chin and touched the junk, then shook her head and muttered.

“ah… … . I can’t do it the way I do it. This is only for elves. Elves know how to move their bodies lightly.”

“By the way, how do we get in?”

The hero stroked his chin and returned to the main topic. It was good that Miele put on an acrobatics show, but how we got into it in the end was still a challenge.

“I have to sneak in somehow… … .”

With a smile on her face, Millet took out her bow and arrow and pointed at the next building connected to this building.

Down the hallway of the large building was the security office, where there were quite a few guards, so I didn’t want to make a fuss when sneaking in like now.

Moreover, if the soldiers on the walls noticed the commotion, they could get into an awkward situation.

But now that the route I was trying to enter was blocked for an absurd reason, the only way left was to go through another route again or pass through this place to quickly approach.

“Wouldn’t that be dangerous?”

Millet blinked at Ashuria’s question and asked again.

“Isn’t it okay if I don’t get caught?”

“…Assassinations are like that, though.”

Lena nodded her head with a mysterious expression.
