Dragon Tribulation of All Realms

Chapter 347 Exploring the Palace
The binding is complete, and under the power of magic level 3, unless some super-powerful character or a powerful demon suddenly visits Lisas, no one will discover that Kanami is bound in this place for a short time.

well.

Cause and effect are now linked in a chain.

Although he used some language that touched on the supernatural, his actions as an adventurer—examining Kanami to obtain information about Ria—were still within the bounds of reason. And since everything was reasonable, he remained under the protection of the underlying rules of this world.

and so……

"We should go and pay a visit to that princess."

Neckai has probably not arrived at Paris College yet, and Britannia is probably still in the field training and rehabilitation. But events often develop in ways that exceed every decision-maker's expectations, so these variables are not uncommon and can be fine-tuned.

—I think they can still be useful.

Wu Chen thought to himself.

He walked out of the best room quite casually, and greeted the tavern owner and the somewhat shy Pap and Sweetheart in a very ordinary manner. He even chatted with them for a bit, mentioning the explosion that had happened outside the tavern not long ago.

"That must be a magician. Such a huge fire explosion is something you rarely see even in the military."

"It's terrifying that there were monster attacks in the outer city. Fortunately, the city guards arrived early, but they looked like they were in a bad mood."

"Mr. Duster, what do you think?"

After a few casual words, Wu Chen expressed his concerns and sighs about the safety of the town of Lisas. He finished everything naturally and then left the tavern carrying Reinhardt's head. He didn't show the slightest panic when he encountered the city guards patrolling and questioning him along the way.

"I'm an adventurer from out of town. I'm going to the guild here to collect my bounty and register my identity."

He simply stated his identity in a calm tone. The city guards didn't suspect a thing—because from any angle, his identity as an 'adventurer' was beyond question. And it was obvious that the target they were searching for was not an adventurer.

"Be careful, adventurer. Lisas City is not like the countryside. If you offend some important figure, you won't have a good ending."

The city guard captain left behind words that sounded like a warning or a cautionary tale. He pointed out the way to the guild to Wu Chen and gave him a pass to prove his identity.

Everything went smoothly as a result.

Wu Chen thanked him and watched as he continued to direct the troops in the nearby area to search for the 'villain who summoned monsters' and the 'missing woman with a special identity'. The captain's efforts were destined to be in vain, but anyway, it didn't affect anyone.

He then continued forward.

The Adventurers' Guild in Lisas wasn't large, but it had all the necessary functions. He wasn't in a hurry at all, leisurely completing the bounty verification and settlement within the guild. Once he received his official identification badge, he found a reasonably nice restaurant and replenished his energy.

The name of the restaurant is not important.

However, the hotel's layout allowed Wu Chen to see directly above a Japanese-style inn called "Rock Candy"—the very inn where Lance would have stayed in the original story. And now, Lance, who had become a "young lady," was naturally staying in this place as well.

He could even see her.

I saw this young lady working and helping out at the inn with her magician slave, Hilu.

Obviously, having lost both her money and her sword, Miss Lance is now penniless and can only manage to survive by working at an inn with her companions, so as not to end up sleeping on the streets. —But I will not return the sword.

While watching the two men, Wu Chen filled his stomach. Lance and Hilulu, who were present, were undoubtedly suitable observation beacons. By monitoring them, he could naturally confirm Lia's general movements.

He watched for a long time.

He received nothing in return.

Leah didn't send a second wave of people to capture Lance and Sil. Aside from ordering a search for the missing Kanami, she didn't do anything else.

"Was a cautious strategy adopted?"

Wu Chen figured that Lia had probably already emerged from her hiding place and returned to her palace—after all, she was just a princess. She couldn't simply disappear for too long without a reason before ascending the throne.

This is enough.

Wu Chen, holding his pass, passed through the inner city gate and saw a petite beauty with blue hair at the gate. This gatekeeper, named Minado, also had a minor role in the original story. When she saw Wu Chen, she unsurprisingly tried to invite him in.

“Adventurer, you seem to have some ability,” she said. Her opinion of Wu Chen might stem from the increase in ‘adventure reputation’ Wu Chen received after delivering Reinhardt’s head.

“If you’re interested, I have a commission for you—the cemetery in Lisas has been rather unsettled lately. You can come to me tonight. I’ll pay you for cleaning the cemetery.”

She extended the invitation.

Wu Chen accepted it as a matter of course.

This is what adventurers should do. And with the acceptance of this commission, Wu Chen even felt that his creature level, which had been completely still since his arrival, seemed to be pulsating slightly.

Gaining adventure experience by completing a quest is a given for adventurers. Theoretically, this is the first quest he accepted in this world that was proposed by someone else, rather than one he rushed to accept himself.

“I will come here tonight, after dark,” he solemnly promised.

After that, he went to the arena in the inner city. He registered and earned a title. In this way, every action he took in the city had a cause and effect that served as a cover.

He became one of the players waiting in the arena's rest area.

He appeared outside the palace, then slipped in silently like a shadow—his ninja skills, learned from Kanami, were fully and meticulously utilized. He didn't take many detours before accurately finding the princess's chambers.

Princess Lydia of Lysas is there.

The princess's bodyguard, the shadow prime minister of Lysas. And perhaps the highest-ranking human being in the city at present, Maris Amalris. They are also there.

They were full of confidence, regarding Kanami's disappearance as merely an accidental mishap. Perhaps this willful princess didn't even bother to temporarily move to a safe hiding place after Kanami's disappearance.

"You overestimated me." Wu Chen, shrouded in shadow, pushed open the door and entered.
