An assassins defense is the lowest out of all the classes. Even an archers magic defense is a little higher than theirs. Hence, to assassins, if they arent able to kill their targets with a single blow, then they will perish.

The one in front of me was a very good example. Even though his base level, damage, and speed were much better than me, but, with the interference of my ice magic, his overall speed wasnt higher than mine. For an assassin with a base of 5,400 dexterity, under the influence of my Frozen Light spell, and with the 1.5x bonus effect of my Blasphemer, his remaining dexterity was only a measly 1,755. My 3,400 Dexterity, with the 10% bonus from my hidden blade and the Gale Ring which increases my Dexterity by 500, total up to 4,240 Dexterity. In other words, the moment he did not kill me with his first strike, this battle was over. Unless his equipment was able to increase his Dexterity to about 13,000, he shouldnt even bother thinking about touching me.

But dodging around was really too troublesome. Hence, I instantly cast Ice Flower and turned him to an ice sculpture. Then, I tied him with the rest of those guards.

As the saying goes, with good equipment, killing mobs above your level is as easy as pie.

Immediately after, I leisurely walked over to Hendrick. How was it? Was the show enjoyable?

I only realized there was a terrible stench when I approached him. When I looked carefully, this guy actually peed in his pants out of fright!

Oh my god, I simply turned him into an ice sculpture, why did you pee in your pants? Didnt you say you were a Dukes son? A formidable figure? Come on, show me what youre made of.

I smiled as I looked at the guy in front of me.

The crowd all began to laugh, as they dont really get that many opportunities to see a Dukes son getting humiliated like this.

Umm Ah Please let me go I will give you as much gold as you want I will get you whatever you wish for Please, dont kill me

Is that so

I turned and looked over to Princess Michelle. If I kill this guy, will I be in any trouble? Umm

Princess Michelle pondered for a moment.

Although Duke Silester wont do anything to you on the surface, privately, you should be careful. That old man takes vengeance really seriously.

Is that so

I turned and looked at the Hendrick who peed in his pants, and asked. Looks like your father is really formidable~

No As long as you let me go, I will definitely not tell my father everything that

happened today. As long as you say the price, I will immediately take out the amount of gold you want from our treasury. So

Seeing his trembling figure, my anger dissipated quite a bit. After thinking for a moment, I extended three fingers.

I want this amount then. This

The moment he hesitated, I immediately approached his ear and whispered.

This money isnt just for myself. Its the amount needed to keep the mouths of everyone here sealed. You wish to continue living your life in this imperial city, right? Even if youre alive, if the entire city were to know about what happened today, I believe you wouldnt dare to leave your doorstep, am I right?

This Yes, yes. Its as you say. He nodded profusely.

I smiled, and lightly slapped his face twice. Then, while he was still looking confused, I returned to Princess Michelles side.

Princess, even though Hendrick was at fault today, however, if the entire city knows of what happened today, then the pride of the nobles will suffer a tremendous blow, so

Un What do you suggest? I will help you take care of it.

I straightened my body, and shouted loudly.

Everyone, I believe everyone had witnessed what Hendrick had did today. But after discussing with Princess Michelle, we believe that we had punished him enough. Otherwise, if we do anymore than this, it wouldnt be a good influence for the princess. I hope everyone could keep silent about this matter. Is that alright?

When the crowd heard of what I said, they started to discuss softly among themselves.

After a while, Maer walked out of the crowd and said.

Fir, youre too courteous. Since this is a suggestion made by both our princess and our empires State Magician, then we will definitely do as you say.

Dont put it that way. It sounds like Im forcing you guys.

Hahaha, Fir, as expected, youre not like those other State Magicians. If all of the State Magicians are like you, then that place wouldnt become a place we wouldnt like to get near to.

As he said that, he pointed to an extremely tall tower in the distance. Magician Tower Is it?

Speaking of which, his majesty told me to report there when Im free. Earlier, I was even wondering where that place was. I didnt expect it to be that obvious.

Well, in any case, I request that everyone do not spread the news of this incident.

Like I said, Fir, youre too courteous

After removing the frost of those people, those bloodstained guards brought Hendrick away and quickly fled the scene.

The streets quickly returned to normal, and we also said goodbyes to Maer and the rest as we continued to tour the imperial city.

Sorry, I did not expect for you to see such an unpleasant sight the moment we came into the city.

No, its fine. To me, it was basically a standard scenario that should happen, so you dont have to mind.

A standard scenario? About that

Looking at Princess Michelles suspicious gaze, I pondered before continuing.

Because I feel that, normally, in a place where the nobles are concentrated at, some bossy nobles will always cause trouble, right?

Although I cant deny what you just said, but, not all of the nobles are bad people.

I know that.

For a moment, I recalled the students in the academy. Most of the students were nobles and royalties, but in actual fact, I didnt find it hard to get along with them.

After all, to be a leading figure, one must be broad-minded. Although a small figure can act tough, that sort of person can never be a leader.

Alright, lets not talk about that anymore. Where are we going next? Un

Princess Michelle did a contemplating pose, and she looked really cute.

Oh right, you probably havent seen our Ice Empires symbol, right! She suddenly leaped up and said.

Sym symbol? Whats that?

Hmhm! Its actually a really amazing thing. Lets go! Follow me! After saying that, that girl took the lead as she sprinted ahead. This girl, she really doesnt behave like a princess

Shaking my head, we quickly followed after her.

Is it really alright? That guy has been following us. Although it feels like hes here to protect the princess, but he didnt step in earlier.

While walking, I suddenly saw the message Aliyah sent.

I dont know. But that guy doesnt have any enmity towards us. Hes been following us, but I dont know whether hes a friend or foe.

Then what are we going to do? Even if you ask me

I turned and looked towards the direction of the person who was following us,

and shook my head.

In any case, I feel that I shouldnt be able to defeat him. What about you? Youre actually asking a person who has a lower level than you?

Since thats the case, I guess we can only continue like this.

Oh right, we should form a party. Like the incident earlier, if we were in a party, when I enter the battle state, you will be able to know immediately.

Alright. But, that earlier incident happened because you girls insisted on moving on your own.

Thats because youre an idiot. Hah?

I looked at Aliyah weirdly, but she actually ignored me, and no longer sent me any

messages.

Fine, youre smart, alright?

I accepted the party invitation. We seemed to be approaching our destination, as Princess Michelles pace began to slow down.

But

Whats going on with the surrounding chill getting stronger? So cold. Fir

Even Irlin said softly.

I looked towards her, and remembered she was only wearing a cloak and a piece of armor under it.

I flipped through my ring, and took out a piece of Sheepskin Knight Cloak.

For the purpose of being able to disguise as anyone, I bought a set of each clothes that I could buy, and naturally, it included knight equipment.

I wore the cloak over her body.

Is it warmer like this? This cloak should be able to block off the chill. Un Thank you.

Looking at how her face was reddening up, it seems the effects of the cloak were

quite evident. What about me!

Aliyah at the side called out unhappily.

I only have one of that cloak. Arent you a fire-type? Youre actually afraid of the cold?

You

Aliyahs face began to puff up. Then, flames came out of her body, as she quickly walked past us and chased after Princess Michelle.

She then said this as she walked.

Hmph! In any case, Im a fire-type, you idiot! Even if you beg me, I wont warm you up.

Just what the hell is she angry about

But, at this moment, the flames surrounding Aliyahs body were instantly extinguished.

She looked at herself perplexedly, and then, lighted herself up again. However, in less than a second, the flames were immediately extinguished. This

Alright. This is our Ice Empires most mysterious place, Ice Fissure. And on top of

it, is a saint who sacrificed her life to save our Ice Empire. Her name, is Snow White.

Hah? Snow White?

Aliyah and I looked at each other, and in her eyes, I could see my own weird-out expression reflected in her eyes.

Where are the seven dwarves?
