Just as I was still thinking about how to deal with those guys, I heard a few screams, and then several red names below suddenly disappeared.

Hey hey hey, you guys are so efficient, aren't you? As people with qualities and culture, how could you just eliminate each other like this, is this really okay?

I quickly jumped down, only to find that there were only three people still standing in the alley. The big guy with the heavy hammer in his hand was only left with the handle of his weapon, looking fearfully at Aliyah and Oyado in front of him.

It's really pitiful, this guy's worldview probably collapsed by eighty percent, right? The loli who was trembling behind the knight just a moment ago suddenly picked up a weapon and took down her companion, all within a few seconds. Although Aliyah and the others mainly rely on surprise attacks, it must still be hard for him to accept being defeated all at once.

This guy's brain is probably running at full speed, thinking about the corresponding methods, but he probably has never encountered tough nuts like us before, right?

"Um... would you noble adults be willing to spare my life despite my humble status?"

This guy struggled for a while before saying this sentence, looking at his companion's body on the ground from time to time while talking.

Does he still hope that his companions are playing dead and joking with him? How naive.

"You took so long to come up with only that sentence, probably because you have heard it many times, right?"

I smiled at him.

"Those who begged for mercy, did you spare them?"

"As long as they hand over their valuables, we let them go! Oh, oh, here is all my money, take it all, just don't kill me!"

"It seems that the mercenary group here is really terrible, just like a bunch of bandits."

Aliyah said, frowning.

"Is the management of the mercenary group here very bad?"

"Hey! Aliyah is asking you a question!"

I pulled out my great sword and plunged it into the wall, the blade directly next to his neck.

"Um... the mercenary group... uh..."

The big guy's face became even paler, and he started stuttering.

"The Mercenary Guild... is only responsible for record-keeping. Although... there are departments responsible for managing the mercenary groups, in reality... they cannot supervise us, because there are too many mercenary groups."

"Too many? How many are there?"

"On the Western Continent... there are over 2,000 mercenary groups."

"Over 2,000? I remember Uncle Monty said that the minimum number of members to form a mercenary group is 50, right? Over 2,000 mercenary groups, indeed, that's quite a mess."

Just as I finished speaking, Aliyah asked further.

"How many people have you killed?"

"Huh?"

The guy paused when he heard this question.

"I... I don't remember... no, I haven't..."

Before he could finish, Aliyah grabbed my great sword and pulled, and the guy's head moved out of place.

"Why are you using..."

"I'm not some saint, why hesitate to deal with scum like him."

"No no no, I mean why not use your sword, really."

I looked at the blood on the great sword and chuckled bitterly.

"What's wrong? Any complaints?"

"No no~"

I waved my hand and sheathed the great sword.

"So, we really have arrived in a completely different continent, brother, what should we do now?"

"Learn about the culture of this continent, but what I'm even more curious about is why there was no information about this West Continent on our previous continent. Similarly, I doubt that there are few people on this continent who know about our original continent."

I glanced at the body on the ground and continued, "But for now, it's best for us to leave here. Otherwise, those two survivors from earlier might come back with more companions. I don't want us to become famous as soon as we arrive on this continent, you know, I'm a low-key person."

As soon as I finished speaking, I received a scornful look from Aliyah and the others. It's frustrating, did I say something wrong? Haven't I always been low-key?

"Anyway, let's gather some intelligence now, and see if there are others who have arrived on this continent with us. Fir, use your skills, go squat at the library."

"Gathering intelligence is indeed necessary," I nodded. "But squatting at the library and the like wouldn't be of much use."

I used to like squatting at the library because it was a simple way to learn new skills, but now I can't make heads or tails of that stuff.

"Or maybe we should just wander around this city, looking for that so-called Mercenary Guild? I think we might get more intelligence from those mercenaries."

"But brother, what kind of identity should we have to visit the Mercenary Guild? Let alone anything else, when we had a dispute just now, the others must have seen it, including other mercenaries. Since the management of the mercenary guild on this continent is really bad, it's not impossible that others may have ulterior motives towards us."

"Whoever dares to have ulterior motives towards you, just take them out!"

"Who was the one talking about being low-key just now?"

Aliyah laughed. "Don't you want me to take out those who have ulterior motives towards you?"

"Well...we can all take care of them! No need for you to do it, hmph!"

This person is really awkward.

"Alright, let's just leave here. We'll go to the library first, then check out the Mercenary Guild. We have quite a few tasks at hand now."

"Okay," we said and ignored the bodies on the ground as the three of us took a detour back to the street.

Well, there's a possibility we might run into their companions by going straight out, so it's better to avoid that.

However, it's probably fine the way we acted earlier; when they see the bodies of their companions, they might think some other expert helped us out.

It's quite intriguing. I wonder how it will turn out.

--------Map loaded--------

"Is this...the library?"

After asking several times to passersby, we finally found the library of this city.

The roads in this city are really a mess, there's no planning at all. Even if someone tells you to turn right at the next intersection, you'll be puzzled as to which of the five forks in front of you is the right one.

But that's not the most headache-inducing part; the scale of the library in front of us is.

"I mean...this is just a small town, right? But this library..."

I completely understood why Aliyah said this, because the size of the library in front of us looks like a palace.

If you had to compare it to something, well, the British Parliament building, the one right below Big Ben, is probably a close match.

"How long will it take to see everything here... and why is it so huge?"

"Perhaps... Do the people on this continent like to read?"

I smiled wryly.

"Let's go, the sooner we start, the sooner we can finish, or else we won't have dinner."

"Okay."

With that, we walked towards the library.
