Chapter 170
“What? Only two? Even so, is it really acceptable for the eldest son of the Duke’s family to be like this?”

Dale shook his head at Master Baro’s question.
Strictly speaking, there weren’t just two people there.
Two men rode across the empire’s lands. Without any escort to guard them, or any other servants.
They passed through the northern part of the empire, where the Duchy of Saxony lay, heading toward the empire’s far eastern region, where the scorching sands of the desert stretched out.
“I’ve informed my father, and I’ll return to the Duchy of Saxony at least before news of my absence reaches the outside world.”
“Well, everyone always makes their plans sound plausible, don’t they?”
Master Baro chuckled.
“Even those who bought a free pass to Samdocheon on my blade, you see, were devising what they thought were plausible plans until their heads were severed.”
“…….”
On the galloping horse, Dale shook his head in utter disbelief.
“So, is there a proper way to make contact with the mountain assassins?”
“We’ve arranged to join forces with someone who can make contact with them along the way.”
“A human?”
“Well…”
“Hmm, that gives me the creeps.”
“Do you know anything else about them?”
“They’re similar to our own fanatical bastards.”
He must be referring to the Shadow Court.
