Arms dealer in another world

Combination of magic and engineering

Bayaro Khalas was a mess.

As a result, Crimson Rose, who had been silent for a while since the last attack, attacked again.

Just like last time, you used the explosion at this station. There was a huge explosion, and subsequently a sign of Crimson Rose came to mind that they were doing

It was all over the world.

The Kallas Guard then enters the emergency system. Apart from him, the guards' position has become quite embarrassing.

Last time I was attacked by Crimson Rose, I tried to solve my work by arresting a few residents and merchants, disappearing, and executing publicly.

As a result, he admitted that although he did not root out Crimson Rose, which was weak in the area, he suffered a significant blow. For a while, I didn't think there would be much of an attack.

But then it happened again.

C.

This attack boldly aimed at the city's burial chamber. The mayor, Carlas' leader, saved his life, but some of the city's top bureaucrats were killed. Dozens of people were killed and wounded by the guards and those who passed by without a chance.

The victim was also a victim, but it was more problematic that he dared to attack the bureau. It was truly a challenge to the Empire and an act of hurting the upper gods of the Empire.

If the anger of the Governor or or the Emperor who governs each province is incurred in this regard, the whole city may pay a terrible price.

There is.

The entire garrison takes a step back and settles. Everything else was postponed, and I was only at home working on this.

“Did you find anything special? ”

"Crimson Rose must have done it again."

“Who asked you that? I mean, did you find any proof of their whereabouts? ”

“That's... not yet...

“Poor bastards! ”

The security guard in charge of Calais.

Jean was under extreme pressure after the Crimson Rose attack.

Even if the governor or the emperor is angry and asks if it is a book, the head of the guard will be in danger first.

It's better if you just can't save your seat. It's not a question of conservation, it's really a knife to the neck.

The guard commander continues to search, pushing his men away. It was better than not having any small evidence.

But no matter how many times I do research, I can't help but boast that Krimson Rhodes did it.

Except for one flag, nothing special came out. In an attack like this, the magic trail does not even come out.

If you use magic, you must leave traces. Of course, it was possible to hide or erase traces, but it was almost impossible to remove magic traces with this large explosive magic cast.

However, there are no signs of magic in this attack. No matter how incompetent the underlings were, they couldn't be so incompetent.

‘Wait a minute.

Suddenly, one thing in the head of the guard commander

I've been thinking. What if it was an explosion, not magic?

It is not commonly thought that such a huge explosion would occur due to a cause other than magic. If there were a large oil barrel full of burning oil, no trace of it would have been found.

A mysterious explosion that seems not magical, but also hard to find other traces. It was a mysterious thing, but it wasn't the first I heard of it.

The guard commander recalls a letter from the Empire's Yu branch of security not long ago.

In the name of the Department of Homeland Security,

I was looking for an explosion that was caused by something other than magic. When he found out about it, he asked me to notify security without delay.

This will probably meet the conditions. Even though something was wrong, it was wise to report this to the Department of Security.

It will be much greater than what will happen if we don't tell them what needs to be told and what doesn't need to be told.

The guard commander immediately sent word to the Department of Homeland Security.

There's a lot of transportation on the Pangea continent.

exist.

From normal things like walking, horses, wagons to unusual things using magic.

Griffin was considered to be the fastest of many vehicles.

Griffin. One of the "flying monsters" that flies in the sky looks like an eagle, but it also eats people, cows and horses.

These frightening flying monsters were often used as vehicles.

It is almost impossible to tame it by common means, but after suppressing it with magic, take measures close to brainwashing

I used to use it as an escalating mode of transport.

It wasn't easy to tame Griffin by magic. It was said that no more than a hundred Griffins used as transportation units across the entire Pangea continent.

It was so difficult and rare, but it was worth using as a means of communication. Compared to the fastest horse on the continent, it was a few dozen times faster.

The Empire has therefore raised this point and tamed dozens of Griffins themselves as official means of transportation.

Dozens of them across the entire empire.

Of course, it could not be used for general purposes, because there was nothing else. Even the archaeologists didn't like it because they were judged to have a bad ride as soon as possible.

Therefore, Griffin of the Empire is usually used for military purposes, or in the presence of urgent government officials. It was unusual for Griffin to fly into a city like Khalash, given its rare existence.

“Is that Griffin?"

“I've never seen you before in my life. ”

A Griffin sits on the wall, under the watchful eye of the guards and spectators. The woman on the Griffin jumps down and finds the guards immediately.

“affiliated with the Imperial Department of Security, Natalia da. ”

“Uh, welcome. ”

The guards were not only disbanded from the position of an officer riding Griffin, Natalia. It was more about appearance than status.

Each black leather jacket on an officer's outfit is the official outfit of a security guard. The guards had seen it many times, so there was nothing to shrink by themselves.

The problem was the mask Natalia wore.

Metal masks all over your face. Surrounded by mirror-like silver masks

It was a sight to see. The two eyes in the mask felt a fierce aura.

The guard shrinks and dares not make a sound just by looking at his status. Some of them also heard about Natalia.

Originally, she was a humble but beautiful half-elven woman. However, a woman with a shattered face and an iron mask. Officers became more famous for the nickname 'Mirror Iron Mask’ instead.

It was rumored that the iron-masked appearance was not only unique, it was very competent, and even more cruel. Everywhere I go.

There's even talk of blood and corpses piling up.

Natalia, who shut everyone down just by appearing, immediately found the guard commander. The guard commander also couldn't help but face Natalia, who had only heard rumors.

‘So I've heard. No, or more.’ Carlas' guard commander, who had gone through all the labor battles in his own way, was also uncomfortable facing Natalia.

Even though his face was distorted and his razor was irritating, the burning eyes in it were more irritating. It's not just cruel or cruel.

You know, the crazy eyes.

Once the guard commander confirmed Natalia's identity, he said with an example.

“Well done. ”

Natalia gets to the point instead of accepting the greeting.

“You reported a mysterious explosion. ”

“Yes, yes. ”

“A day until the magical call from you arrives. It took me three days to get back to you. Anything new in the last three days? ”

“That……:

When the guard commander blurred his words, Natalie.

His eyes became sharper. Without saying a word, the guard commander froze with cold sweat.

Fortunately, Natalia was able to sharpen her eyes but kept her manners to a minimum.

“I didn't find anything. ”

“I'm sorry. I have no idea what I've done. I looked through the guards' wizards with guns, but there was no sign of them. ”

“Then there's a good chance there's no magic involved. ”

“It looks that way. But in that case,

How could an explosion like this......

“I'll see for myself. ”

Soon Natalia found the scene. It was quite a while after the explosion, and after several investigations, it was difficult to find the old version of Ra.

But even among them, Natalia found something meaningful. It was an alleged source of the explosion.

“Looks like there was an explosion here. ”

“Yes, but as you can see, there are only marks of the ground like this, and the magical traces

It was completely invisible. I searched around here...

Natalia looked at the mark for a long time, saying.

“If you have searched so hard and found no trace of magic, you have not used magic from the beginning. ”

“That's what I thought. But that's ridiculous, isn't it? And again, there was this huge explosion of blood. If it exploded in a distance from the building, it would have collapsed if it had exploded in a closer direction. What else could cause an explosion like this? ”

“Alchemy.”

“Yes?”

“It can be done through alchemy. ”

The Guard Blacksmith also had common sense about alchemy. Apparently, you've heard of the explosion that caused the alchemy to fail.

However, an explosion in alchemy is a process of failure, and I've rarely heard of how to treat the explosion as free material.

“Are you saying it was an Alchemist? ”

“There's a good chance of that. ”

“Is there a reason...

Natalia points at her face.

“This is the basis. ”

“Yes?”

“An ‘Explosive Killer’ made by alchemy made my face look like this. ”

As a lifelong guard commander in Kalas, he had no idea about the 'Explosive Killer’ that rocked Geraf's Slum.

I didn't really understand what Natalia was saying, but one thing

It was clear. She was confident, and it was dangerous to challenge it.

“So what do we do now? ”

“This is my business from now on. ”

“Oh, right. ”

I didn't like Natalia's attitude. Especially since I was looking at the pointy ears that sometimes appeared between the iron mask and the hair.

As a pure human liver on a vulgar half-elf subject, I was even more disturbed by the way I treated myself at the head of the city guard.

But I'm gonna take care of this mess.

I was thankful for that. If it fails, the responsibility will also be passed on to Natalie A.

“Please let me know if you need any assistance. ”

“Then hire me an elite force right away. Ten wizards. A hundred regular soldiers. ”

“I understand.”

Natalia can't take her eyes off the blast marks as her forces are drawn to support her.

The explosion that killed the esteemed commander and broke his face. That's exactly what they looked like when they found the scene late.

I saw it.

Of course, there is no concrete evidence yet, and so he did not have all his thoughts out of his mouth.

But Natalia had a hunch. I think he came to the right place.

Crimson Rose is making a scene in the area. And the Alliance of the Rebellion must be weak somewhere. He was confident that if he caught them, he could find the two he was looking for.

Natalia took out two portraits from her arms.

The face of the suspect, the portrait of the guard and Cecilia A.

Looking at the portrait, Natalia burns her heart again.

“Looks like we found your trail. This time, catch it. You must."
