You people are panicking too much. He can escape and establish another identity if things go bad. This is a pseudo-medieval world, they can't just show his photo on the morning news.
That's safer than having to fight his way out of the whole fort of soldiers.
@Xenopsyche - because these aren't government fountains. It's just a fountain the mage-daughter put there on a whim and didn't do any paperwork.
Or maybe he meant to warn the other residents that they would not have water access until somebody finds enough mages to fix it. At first glance...
I'm rooting for the little girl to destroy the false religion and slay the corrupt pope.
How do I know the religion is false? Have you seen even one priest among the adventurer parties? They don't even have proper healing magic.
Their religion is obviously as false as real-world ones.
@Mogima - in another story, MC said that abusing monster regeneration results in lower-quality materials. And the monster will die eventually, when it runs out of magic and life force to regenerate.
@Lomeno @smercholeg - Cruz was always a girl, but she was easy to confuse for a boy. In the...
@Duck_ - he was lucky he was tortured by Master who has that truth-detecting skill. Most people would have kept torturing him a lot, trying to extract information the assassin doesn't have. I guess it's better to die quickly. Especially if punishment for assassins is death anyway.
@Sharkexpert12 @Glomoro - thank you. It's great to hear a reasonable person in that chorus of bloodthirsty fools.
There is no way one would not be curious about why one's sworn comrades would go that far.
Speaking of blood thirst, I'd rather see something bad happen to the "princess". Maybe...
@TrapCard113 - so, our MC is going to be a magical girl, and fight against the forces of Dark Saint? Fine by me, as long as new ikemen stop coming. There are too many of them, and I can't tell them apart.
@justSomeone - well, before that, he planned to kill MC. Now he'll have to kill the MC even if things don't go according to the plan. The spider guy will probably fight to death now.
@Cartaga - two-handed swords destroy armor easily. A good hit to a flying Anemo slime causes it to burst like a ballon. For everything else, there are elemental reactions.
@sagat101 - it's a matter of how strong you are relative to them. If you keep your level and level of your weapon up to...
@Lutheos1 - in the early versions, burning did almost no damage. It was patched around 1.1, I think. Now setting the whole battlefield on fire tends to cause HP problems.
