A Sword Master Childhood Friend Power Harassed Me Harshly, So I Broke Off Our Relationship And Make A Fresh Start At The Frontier As A Magic Swordsman.
44: Abyss Walker Countermeasure Conference
The search for Abyss Walker using the Knights was thoroughly continued for the following week, but he was not seen other than those two.
Lloyd, who received the report from Myth, had lifted the city's blockade by saying he was safe the other day.
And at the same time, he had made the decision to make the search for Abyss Walker in the Demonic Forest a permanent request to highranking adventurers belonging to the Adventurers Guild of Yughanortz.
Once the blockade was lifted, the city regained its calm.
However, the city's air remained severely distressed by the appearance of creatures that made Abyss Walker feel revived.
In the meantime, I was being summoned to Lloyd's mansion.
There is now a meeting against Abyss Walker with Lloyd as its sitting chairman.
Attendees are Linus, Gawayne, Noelia, Mice, Adventurer Alliance Master, and me.
"Half of the Knights continue to devote themselves to searching the Demonic Forest, and the Adventurers Guild has asked that high-ranking adventurers be included in the search as a priority. But the status quo hasn't raised any reports of discoveries other than those two."
I was reading the report that Captain Mais the Knight came up to.
"Are you saying that only those two have been hiding in the demonic forest for twenty years since the onslaught?
"I wonder if that's unlikely. The Forest of Demons has a large number of demons, but adventurers were on crusades quite often for their demons, so I don't think it's possible that they haven't been discovered in 20 years."
Mice had denied any doubts from Lloyd.
If I were that strong an individual, too, I think the fight against demons would have turned out to be a pretty fancy fight, and I don't think I've ever found that fight before by an adventurer who was in the Demonic Forest.
So I was wondering if I had recently appeared in that vicinity anew.
"Don't you mean the individual who's newly crawled out of Avisfall? The last big raid crawled out of that hole, didn't it?
Gawayne, who was listening to Myth's report, was opening his mouth like that.
"But there were signs of the last big raid. Your Lord will also remember that a suspicious column of light rose from that great hole before Abyss Walker crawled out. There's never been such a precursor this time."
Lloyd denied Gawayne's story this time.
Was such a pillar of light raised before the Great Strike?
The grown-ups in the village I was in didn't talk like that, so it's my first ear.
Having come to terms with the information in my first ear, I realized once again that this was the front line in the great raid 20 years ago.
"Speaking of which, you did. I don't remember much because I was obsessed with striking the sword, but I think the city people said that. So, where did those guys come from?
In response to Gawayne's inquiry, Arnold, the guild master who had listened to him in silence until then, had raised his hand modestly.
"I'm afraid I do. As a matter of fact, there was a general meeting of Adventurer Guilds in cities across the kingdom...... When I attended the last general meeting, I heard about it, but it seems that individuals similar to this Avis Walker have been witnessed everywhere. The Adventurer Alliance of other cities didn't follow up on the report..."
"Hey, what the hell! Why don't you tell me such a story!! When did you hear that story!!
Lloyd's complexion was dyed by Zhu when he heard Arnold's report.
"Yes. About six months ago...... even before, reports of rarely seeing Abyss Walkers had gone up to Adventurer Guilds everywhere, all of which were false reports by rushing out adventurers. That is why it was not important, although it was also raised on the table in the General Assembly…. But this time, I got a bad feeling because I got a report from an adventurer who survived the big raid, so it was up to me to let Lord Lloyd report it..."
"If a fool had... talked like that six months ago, there would have been more hand-to-hand hitting. All I can say is I was caught off guard."
"Also, I'm sorry. I didn't think Avis Walker still existed. Take responsibility for this failure and I will resign from the position of Alliance Master"
Arnold, reprimanded, had a pale complexion and had his head bowed down, letting his body decay.
Lloyd was waving painfully when he saw Arnold like that.
"We can't help but let him take responsibility for the faults and dismiss them, causing confusion in the operation of the Adventurer Alliance. This time Arnold's demise was to be attributed to me who appointed him. Take back your faults at work."
"Ha ha!
"Instead, tell me everything you need to know about Abyss Walker, even if it's a rumor."
"I understand. Let me inspire you to work."
In the meantime, there doesn't seem to be any dismissal of Arnold, but according to his story, he was scattered all over the kingdom looking like Abyss Walker.
It seemed unlikely that only two of them were found in the demonic forest.
"If that happens, there may be quite a few new species in the kingdom."
I was listening to Arnold, Gawayne was arming up and thinking about it.
"I have already told the king that it depends on what happens with the early horses... but the nobles of the king's capital won't be able to deal with it. Among other things, the father and son of the Radcliffe family, Prime Minister and Commander of the Kingsguard Knights, may squeeze my report. They'll hate it when my authority expands against Abyss Walker."
"Is this the Radcliffe family... I would also advise the King that if the Radcliffe family turned the other way, they would likely have decided that there was no report of Lord Lloyd"
A dark look appears on the faces of Lloyd and Linus, who raised their voices.
Speaking of the Radcliffe family, you were a nobleman who Alfine supported when he became a nobleman under the title of Kensei.
Then he should have also given me the job of swordsmanship guide for the Kingsguard Knights.
But Alfiene hated Gile, didn't she?
I've seen him about three times, but he wasn't going to like me.
But I don't think it's the right time for Abyss Walker to overflow again.
Is that all the king's nobility has loosened their fear of Abyss Walker?
"Oh, my God, the kingdom doesn't seem like it's going to pay. At this time, should I mass-produce my intelligence sword to make it remember the magic sword?"
"Gawayne, that's premature! Don't hurry! If it's about a flick, I'll mislead you with my authority. If we are to produce large quantities of things that come into contact with the laws of the kingdom, we must obtain the permission of the king."
Mass production of this intelligent demon sword...
I see, if you can use magic yourself like this guy, do you mean even swordsmen who can't use magic can use magic swords?
"Is it the kingdom's judgment? If that new breed is ravenous, you can't afford to wait long for it. If intelligence doesn't work, you just have to come up with a way to encapsulate magic, right? Then the kingdom won't complain."
"Huh!? What, that sword?"
Gawayne was starting to say weird things again.
A sword that encapsulates magic in a demonic stone or whatever.
Also, I wonder if you'll even start tearing up a hell of a demon sword.
"I think I can establish a technique for encapsulating magic in magic stones that I use to activate magic. If only we could give the sword a similar effect to the flame weapon Linus did."
"Well, is that my flame weapon (Fire Weapon)? We haven't been able to secure it yet, so if Lord Gawain's sword is to be completed, I want you to prioritize it. You might want to be prepared for the kingdom's immobility."
"Hmm, if you don't want me to be intelligent, there's no way to forbid you to build a sword. Then I'll give you permission and money."
"You make swords out of Lloyd's money. Hopefully, I'll have a workshop in the mansion. Yasbah's hunting grounds are far away."
Gawayne had a deliberate voice telling her that she wanted to go back to Yughannotes.
Lloyd had a lost look at the suggestion, but he wanted a weapon that could counteract Abyss Walker.
"Damn! Look at my feet... I don't know what else to do. Don't make any problems this time because I've left my old workshop behind properly! Mice, give him the keys later."
"Understood."
"Yikes! Let me tell you something."
It was Gawain on Nico's face, but seeing how it was, it still seemed certain that it was being flushed into that land because of poor bare behavior.
