Chapter 299: Searching For Red-Names (2/2)

“That is true, your hi—milady, but there’s no need for you to come personally, is there? If anything happened, us royal guards have the whole country (Tierra) to answer to.” Boris scowled.

“It’ll be fine. At worst, I’ll die… and hadn’t I died before? There’s nothing new about that.” The girl smiled unusually carefreely, although her guard was taken aback. “Please don’t make such a joke, your highness!” He said, before solemnly tapping his chest in assurance. “I will definitely keep you safe even if it kills me!”

With that, Boris took the lead and scouted the way ahead suspiciously. He looked so careful that he would notice grass moving with the wind, fearing that a mouse leaping out of a ditch could stab him to death.

“Clear, your hi-milady. Come on!” He whispered, after studying the path ahead for half a day and ensuring that there were no threats.

And yet, there was no reply after half a beat aside from the whooshing of cold winds.

Promptly turning, he realized that there was only a ghost street behind him, and Leah’s figure was nowhere to be seen. He went pale in shock.

“Oh no, what should I do now?

‘I lost the princess!

Leah was slowly advancing in the aqueducts.

Boris was really making mountains out of anthills back there, and in the very least, Leah wasn’t convinced that he could find any red names.

And naturally, aside from avoiding her annoying escort, there were other reasons she wanted to come here.

As mentioned before, Lancaster’s aqueducts were very complex, and the Players had yet to fully explore it.

Still, since this place was inhabited by some small monsters that weren’t strong, many newbies who couldn’t win against skeletons would come to explore it. The red names had also been spotted in the aqueducts aside from Lancaster North, although it was glimpses most of the time and the newbies could have been seeing some monsters escaping from them.

Moreover, even though an entire group of red names would definitely stand out, but no Players had yet to found a specific place where they gathered.

With that thought in mind, it was very likely that they were using the aqueducts as a hideout, just like the Players did at the start.

With that thought in mind, Leah began scanning randomly around the aqueducts of northern Lancaster. And after watching for over half an hour, she found several suspicious figures with red names hanging over their heads, vanishing with a flash at the mouth of the aqueducts!
