Chapter 150 Strongest Sage, Raids
"Acknowledged . Everyone, please take these . "
Eiku distributed some paper to us four .
The paper contained permission for us to act as a proxy of the royal family .
"Are we allowed to arrest the city ruler anytime we want?"
"Yes . When are you planning to do it?"
" . . . . Right now of course . You three don't mind right?"
"Yes!"
"Un!"
"Of course!"
The three immediately replied to me .
We're doing this raid because we've witnessed the awful state of this dungeon city in the past week .
We are in consensus that the city ruler must be replaced as soon as possible .
" . . . Understood . Our target is most likely located in the city ruler's mansion . . . . And that mansion is heavily guarded . Should we request cooperation from the knights?"
Eiku took a blueprint of the mansion .
Looks like the mansion is built with the possibility of attacks from outside in mind .
There's only one entrance and one back door, both of which are thick doors, and guarded by guard rooms .
. . . Well, that's irrelevant though .
"No, we can handle them . We'll be fighting in a confined space, so having more people around would make it more difficult instead . Also, it'd be annoying if the city ruler noticed and used some weird trick . We're breaking through directly from the front . Is there any problem?"
" . . . Understood . There is no problem . I have heard from people that know about Mathias-sama that taking the knights along would only drag you down . "
Eiku began to guide us after saying that .
I'm not sure what kind of rumors are spreading about us . . . . but since it made things go smoother, guess I'll let it slide this time .
. . . . We left the dungeon and arrived at the mansion .
However . . . .
" . . . Something seems amiss . . . . "
Eiku looked perplexed when he saw the mansion .
We have never come close to the mansion so we have no idea, but Eiku seems to think that there's something wrong with it right now .
"Is it?"
"Yes . The front door is usually open, and guards are standing by around it . But there's no guards today . . . and it's eerily quiet . "
Hearing that, I investigate mana reactions inside the mansion .
There are people inside it seems . . . But this is . . . .
"The info about this probably got leaked . "
"The info?"
"Yeah . Looks like they've strengthened the defense inside the building . . . When you think about it, don't you feel that there's a few guards in the city today? They've all been gathered here . "
Usually, there are guards under direct control of the city ruler besides the knights in the city .
They're called guards but rather than suppressing crimes inside the city, they're taking part in the city ruler's crimes instead .
I'm sure that the people who regularly attacked us normally worked as guards .
" . . . What would you like to do?"

Eiku asked us .
However, there's no change to the plan .
"Like I said in the beginning, we're breaking through from the front . "
I walked forward, stopped before the steel door and gripped the doorknob .
There doesn't seem to be any trap around the door .
"Are you four ready?"
I look at Iris, Ruli, Alma and Eiku .
The four have readied their weapons and nodded .
" . . . I think it's locked . . . Would you like me to unlock it?"
I shake my head at Eiku's suggestion .
Lock picking is quiet, sure . . . but now's not the time to be secretive .
"No need for that . There's a better way to open this lock . "
I grip and rotate the doorknob .
The door is locked indeed . . . .
"This is how . . . you open it . "
I used Physical Reinforcement magic as I said that and twisted the doorknob .
And then, SNAP! The lock was blown away with that sound .
Then I kick the door while throwing away the broken doorknob . . . .
The door got blown off with a roaring sound .
"Alright, it's open!"
