The 300 Heroes of the Manga

"This structure is not too different from the public baths in the previous life."

Cao Shurui took off his clothes, folded them neatly—this was a habit he had cultivated in his previous life—put them in a basket made of rattan, and opened the door.

It's a gorgeous bath that people can't help but sigh.

The heated bathtub is made of green marble and is about the same size as an ordinary living room. Every gap is filled with stone bricks, and the corner is decorated with a statue of Barnik, the fairy in the baths. The huge painting that occupies a whole wall depicts a huge black dragon and war girl.

"This level of luxury deserves to be exclusive to the nobles. Huh? Exclusive to the nobles? Wouldn't it be the bathing place dedicated to the warrior if I go here! Is this the surprise you said, Allen? I think it's only surprise!"

Cao Shurui would say this because at this time a young girl just got up from the bathtub.

That is Lyudmila. Her body was naked, her white skin was flushed, and water droplets rolled from the tips of her blue hair.

Due to excessive consternation and shock, Cao Shurui's eyes could not be removed from her limbs.

Lyudmila also stood stiffly in place as if turned into a stone statue, but her reaction was quick. She bent down, picked up the gun placed on the ground, and flew out of the bathtub. In an instant, the tip of the gun pointed at Cao Shurui's face.

"...I'm very sorry. I didn't know you were still in the bath at this time."

Immediately flashed over the tip of the gun, Cao Shurui turned around. The murderous intent is on the back, prompting Cao Shurui to remain calm. But the dynamic vision of the 7th degree made the scene of a moment imprinted on his retina.

Speaking of which, did she take the dragon gear into the bath too? Allen also carried the silver flash on him when he went to the bath.

Probably for Zhan Ji, he must always keep the "Dragon Gear" by her side.

"...You didn't come to humiliate me by looking at you." Her calm voice was full of sharp anger.

"Yes. I am extremely sorry for not asking."

"No need to apologize. Would you feel ashamed to be seen by a dog or cat?"

As soon as the voice fell, the air trembled, and a hard object knocked on the top of Cao Shurui's head. Although aware of the blow, Cao Shurui obediently followed. Who let him take advantage?

Lyudmila snorted beside him, and left with swift steps.

There was a sound of slamming the door behind him, and Cao Shurui, who was beaten with a golden star in his eyes, shook his head and returned to normal.

"Is it seen by a dog or cat...Yes, this is a nobleman." Cao Shurui began to take a bath after scratching his head and touching the place where he was beaten.

In the end, this encounter proved to be caused by Allen alone.

Originally, as long as Cao Shurui didn't rush to the bath immediately, this wouldn't happen, but Allen seemed to just want to be a little prank.

Thinking about it now, it may be that the two war girls were bathing together, and Allen came out first like a chance to pit Liudmila.

——————————————————————————————

The next morning, everyone left Rodnik. Start riding in the early morning, and you will be able to reach the street leading to the Gong Palace before noon.

The sky is very dark, and the thick gray clouds become thicker and thicker, and it seems that it will rain at any time.

The atmosphere among the people riding horses is a bit bad.

Lyudmila looked indifferent and kept silent to everyone. Cao Shurui looked at Allen bitterly, while Allen watched them with a bitter smile. Lim cast a sympathetic gaze to Cao Shurui, but her eyes were still mixed with lingering surprise and contempt.

It is precisely because the four people know that this is a trap set by Allen, that's what happened.

"Hey, the favorability level is going to drop off now." Cao Shurui wanted to cry without tears in her heart. Once this impression is established, it is difficult to change.

The wilderness turned into a grassland, and slender streets appeared in front of you. Proceed along this road and cross a small forest ahead to reach the main road.

"you--"

Before entering the forest, Allen said to Lyudmila.

"You said you came here to see what kind of talent Tagler is. Have you achieved your goal now?"

Lush cedar and cypress trees make up this forest.

Because the sky is shaded by dense foliage, the light in the forest seems much dimmer than outside. The slender roads and uneven roads further arouse anxiety.

"—Yes, I have figured it out."

Lyudmila answered indifferently to Allen's question.

"It's just a little guy with a stronger mouth and no advantages. Compared to him, I am more interested in your guard knight. ——Although, that's just a little guy."

Lyudmila turned her head and stared at Tagler with dirty eyes. Unable to refute, Cao Shurui had to pretend to look around.

Then, the two war girls began to mock each other again. But Cao Shurui tightened his body and was ready to fight.

Although it was a few shots later than Cao Shurui, Allen and Lyudmila also became alert. Tagler and Lim next to him seemed to be aware of it.

On this slender and simple road, sandwiched between the left and right trees, there are no other figures except them. Because the road is straight, you can see a considerable distance, but there are no travelers, traders, or hunters ahead.

However, they can feel the breath. Hidden among the trees, hiding in the dark, holding their breath, approaching them like a beast that finds its prey.

"——I am surrounded."

"Is it an assassin?"

Lim asked Allen who was quietly whispering with a serious face.

Contrary to Tagler and Lim, who didn't conceal their nervousness, Allen and Lyudmila raised their weapons leisurely. Because this kind of thing is commonplace for Zhan Ji.

But Cao Shurui was actually excited. Experience and gold coins are here again.

"If they were only thieves, they would be too slow to show up. Then, who are they looking at?"

"It must be one of you and me, right?"

Alan smiled and shook his head to Lyudmila who said this as it should be.

"Tegler is also a very conspicuous target now. As long as Tagler is dead, the Duke of Tenardier will jump up happily. Moreover, this will also drive me out of Brunai."

"In every sense, this is an unpleasant statement."

Tagler said embarrassedly while raising his bow.

"Master Allen, there is a wire in front. They actually even set up traps." Cao Shurui intervened in the conversation. He used the Wind King enchantment and manipulated the wind to perceive the surroundings.

"Oh? You can actually find it." Lyudmila nodded in admiration.

Chapter Twenty Lim Injured

"Elionora, use your'Dragon Skill' to clean up all those steel wires."

"If you do that, the ground will split and the horse will not be able to move forward. Also, the surrounding trees will be blown down."
