The verification of the "Botanical Golem" was also completed, and when I was thinking of going out to the "Adventurer's Guild" to talk about the incident yesterday, a customer came.
A luxurious carriage stopped in front of the gate.
Something... I think it's becoming a routine every morning...
By the way, the gate is still destroyed.
Coming down from the carriage... as usual, Rouge, the granddaughter of Count Moonriver's family, and her mother, Benny, and aunt Mulan.
I thought... what a Moon River Count appeared.
There was another carriage, even Rouge's father and eldest son, Moody.
Then there's Mooney, the second son and captain of the Independent Corps of the Guard, and another woman.
It feels like... a whole family.
Probably from last night's raid.
I greeted all of the Count's family and led them into the Mansion.
Mooney was accompanied by his wife, Mitty.
A new customer arrived at the tip of the arrow to guide him to the reception room and begin the conversation.
I was the guild leader.
I called the guild leader.
That's what the count said.
The fact that I called the guild leader seems to have come about last night.
"I'm sorry, I made a lot of noise last night."
That's what I said, and I lowered my head.
"You don't have to apologize." It was the side that was attacked. Besides... it would be useless to tell you not to stand out now. Fufu "
Somehow... I don't feel like I'm complaining.
But unlike in the beginning, the impression is much softer.
You came all the way here because of yesterday's raid, right?
"Well, let's get down to business then." I've heard more from Mooney about yesterday's raid. I called because I wanted to ask you a favor. ”
"I beg you...?"
It's about the special magical tools that the attackers had last night.
Oops... I thought we were going to give it back.
"Yes....."
"It's your loot... but I want to keep it a secret." I'll return what the Guard had left for verification. "
Oh, I... I thought you were going to give it back.
"It's a secret...?"
"Actually... in my reports to the country, I'm trying to keep dangerous magic tools out of my reports."
Of course, I will report that [Dokuroberkran] resented another clan and attacked them at night, attacked them with a golem, turned them into monsters, and that a King monster appeared, but I will lie down with the magical tools I used at that time. "
Huh... why don't you report it honestly?
Why do you keep secrets only about magical tools?
"If you report honestly... perhaps some agencies in the country want it.
Even though I gave it to you as a spoil, I'm sure you'll try to confiscate it for a reason.
If you're not good at it, you might use your men to rob you.
If they took it... they would use it as a force.
even if you mercilessly cut off a soldier's arm..... "
"I don't want to do that..."
It is true that in the Duchy today, which is supposed to be under the influence of the devil, there is a high probability of doing anything merciless.
But... normally, if there is a connection between the demons who rule the Duchy from the shadows and the [Black Sage] who seems to be the mastermind this time, I think we can afford to incorporate that magical tool into the Duchy's fighting forces...
Well, I can't help thinking about it now.
"Even so, if it is still used for a monster crusade, it will be saved."
But it could also be used to subdue people.
That's why it's best to keep secrets about the spoils that the country wants.
There is nothing better to give to the country.
I'll also draw up an order for the guards, so if you agree, I can keep it a secret. "
"That's good, isn't it?"
The country... I don't know what to do.
With that loot, if you can keep an eye on the country, it'll be a hassle. "
The guild leader seems to agree with Count Moonriver.
“Okay, I will. I will also ask my clan members for their orders.”
"Thank you."
Count Moonriver said with relief.
And they returned the magical tools of the loot that Ms. Mooney had in her possession.
The count hastened to come to me on this matter.
This man still thinks for the sake of the people.
He's a good man to trust.
Even if it is not the "Duke of Artemina" under the influence of the devil, if you are a politician for a normal country, you will want powerful magical tools.
If you try to incorporate it, it's not strange to proactively offer it, and in some cases, it's not strange for you to get it and use it as a fighting force.
But the Count didn't have such an idea.
From now on... maybe we should reveal my true purpose and build a system of cooperation.
What will you do with the information about the [Black Sage]?
I checked what was bothering me.
“I'm going to give you a report on that.”
"Although the heart of the country is rotten, there should still be decent people around it.
If you know that information, you may be alert or get new information. ”
"I see. I see."
Was there no information about the [Black Sage] at all? "
"Hmm. I've never heard of that. But I think we need to be careful in the future."
That's right.
What will you do with the survival of Skullberg Klan?
“That's right, that's the problem. I don't want to see any confidential information leaked from them....."
"At least... two executives would be a crime worthy of the death penalty." Isn't it good to execute them quickly? "
The Guild Leader gave a rather rough opinion.
But in this world, it must be normal.
"Sure... even if you decide to execute them, they might tell you to transfer them to the capital..."
What about the bottom boobs?
The guild leader asked with a sinister face.
"Bottom pussy"...... I mean, it's a mess...... but it's not a funny atmosphere, so I bite it off desperately.
”That's right... I can't do the death penalty, but with an ordinary sentence, life imprisonment as a criminal slave would be appropriate...”
It seems that the count hasn't made up his mind.
Lady Mooney, thank you!
What the hell!?
The guards rushed in halfway through the conversation!
