Traveling to another world, inheriting a mess at the beginning

After finishing the audience that was like a work report, Aarons left the palace alone and felt a little dazed for a while.

Looking at the imperial capital, which was still flashing neon lights even in the daytime, he always had a confused sense of unreality in his heart - what kind of world did he come to?

There are magic and fighting spirits that can take other people's lives at will, there are magical beasts that gallop freely, and there are more prosperous and magical cities than in the previous life.

Why did he travel to such a world? What does the person who summoned him want him to do?

"... I can't figure it out."

A little confused, Aarons did not immediately go to the mansion of the God of War to find his two alien attendants, but walked alone in the city.

This city is really too much like the place he stayed in his previous life - people indulge in singing their lives in the bright lights and wine, and create all kinds of stories in every busy and fulfilling day.

But he is obviously a lucky traveler, why is he still just an insignificant little character here?

There is no potential for fighting, no substantial family business, no chance and luck, and not even a cheat... I only have two monsters that may soon drain me dry.

If I were still young, I might still be overwhelmed by desire. But when I crossed over, I was already forty years old... After seeing the fickleness of the world and the warmth and coldness of human feelings, even if I still have physical desires, I have long been exhausted mentally.

Compared with wealth, status or beauty, he actually wants to know what he should do in this life - what kind of life is meaningful to him.

"Alas... I don't understand."

Walking alone on the busy street, Aarons' mood became more and more depressed. He wanted to buy something to fill his stomach, but when he touched his pocket, he found that he only had a dozen copper coins.

By the way, because the money he brought was not enough, he had already given all the large silver and gold coins to Xia Ye for safekeeping.

"This is really..."

However, just when Aarons was about to curse in annoyance, he was suddenly hit by someone from behind.

The coin in his hand fell to the ground because of stumbling, and before Aarons could come to his senses, an irresistible force pulled him directly into the alley next to him.

"What..."

"... Sorry for the money."

Before Aarons could say a complete word, his mouth was tightly covered by someone behind him. And just as he wanted to struggle, a short knife was directly placed on his neck.

"Someone is going to kill you, but I don't want to kill people so close to the street. Come with me, I will consider letting you live a little longer."

Although I know that there are people in the imperial capital who are hostile to the Marquis' family, why did someone come to the door so quickly?

I am just a person with no ability... No, since the emperor knows what happened during the beast tide, it is estimated that the enemies of the Marquis have already known it.

——So what should I do? What should I do to escape this deadlock?

When fear emerged from the bottom of his heart, Aarons felt his blood flowing at a high speed.

His mind began to overload, and his spirit became calm and peaceful-Aarons Morty's own power began to show, dispelling the fear that should have occupied his mind.

The possibility of forcibly escaping is not high, but the other party does not seem to want to kill in this place near the block, so he may have a chance to attract the attention of others.

But even with this, the possibility of survival is less than 20%, unless there is a power that can ignore all conditions and forcibly break the deadlock-

"... Follow me now, don't try to escape, otherwise I don't mind bleeding you here."

It's a pity that I don't have that kind of power.

Call Karin and Xia Ye through the contract? Although it is indeed possible to do so, by the time they get here, I guess I will have been a corpse.

Distract the other party's attention and escape by force? If the other party has fighting spirit, the probability of success is less than 10%.

So what should be done to break this deadly situation——

"Interesting... I felt that there was some murderous aura here, so I came here to check the situation, but I found something incredible."

"Who is it!?"

Just as Aarons was about to be taken hostage and walked deep into the alley, a familiar black figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley.

"Isn't this Mr. Aarons? It's unlucky to run into trouble in such a place."

——The voice of the young woman, it seems that I have just been in something recently.I have heard of it before.

"Damn it, someone suddenly comes to disturb me at this time. There is nothing I can do... Die!"

When Aarons felt the blade on his neck begin to exert force, he saw the figure at the alley entrance and slowly raised his cane in his hand-

"Omit the chant-Double Chain Cancel! [Dark Eclipse Hell]!"

Just when the blade was about to cut through his skin, countless black tentacles suddenly appeared in front of Aarons... Then his world was covered by endless darkness.

"Magician!? Why... not cast a spell!!"

--The last sound Aarons heard in the darkness was the crisp sound of the short knife falling to the ground.

"... What happened?"

After thinking for a few seconds because of the sudden change, the darkness in front of Aarons suddenly dissipated. And the person who was originally standing at the entrance of the alley walked towards him with an elegant step.

I have seen that person before - the woman in black clothes and black skirts with gold trim, a wide-brimmed hat and a black veil, was the one I chatted with yesterday under the moon.

"The little pests have been cleaned up. I hope you are not frightened, Mr. Aarons."

"Pests? No... wait, you are..."

The brain running at high speed has not stopped running yet. In this short moment, Aarons has analyzed and drawn several possible conclusions.

This woman who appeared at the right time might be in the same group as the killer just now -

"Oh... this suspicious look and vigilant posture, it seems that you think I am an accomplice of that little bug, right?"

The woman in black walked towards Aarons very gracefully with a cane and a slow pace. And every step she took closer, Aarons' instinct would send out a sharper alarm.

- Run quickly, otherwise his future life will be over... life?

Why did he think of life at this time?

"...Who are you? Why did you appear here by chance?"

"My lord, you were thinking about something important before, so you didn't notice the situation around you at all? I have been following you since you left the imperial city."

She dared to say it out loud even though she was illegally stalking me! What's wrong with this woman!
