At dawn of the night, it was the morning of the day we left for 'The City of Nanne'.
Yesterday, despite the massive amount of chocolate we all had in the evening, we then had a farewell dinner party on schedule.
Everyone's stomach was pampered and in big trouble.
I went out just a little while before dawn.
It was Daritou from the Labyrinth Management System of the Ibiller Labyrinth.
In the last few days, they've finished rebooting.
It was completely faster than I thought.
Major system damage did not appear to have been predicted.
Because there is only part of the function that is damaged, she wanted to repair it in a light "simple recovery mode".
Of course I allowed it, but then they asked me what to do with the labyrinth...
I instructed him to enter dormant mode.
I've been thinking a lot about this in the last few days...
In the future, we want to use it to enrich this territory and country, but we do not know if it can be effectively used in the current confused current situation.
Rather, I feel more at risk of being targeted by the bad guys.
So I decided to use the labyrinth as a resource once this realm was a little more calm and institutionalized.
By then, hunters will be pretty well nurtured, and there may be a foundation on which you can create a 'Labyrinth Attacker Guild'.
In other countries, those who attack the labyrinth are called 'adventurers', in this country they are called 'attackers', but in the future they will gather together and it is not to be hoped that this realm will be enriched.
But the time is too bad right now.
So I came to the conclusion of dormancy.
Daritou seemed a little sorry.
From such a daritou, I had a suggestion.
The suggestion that we want to put it in a tentative 'temporary dormant mode' instead of a complete 'dormant mode' or... was hopeful.
It's the same thing to seal off all the labyrinth functions in dormancy, but it seems that Daritou, the management system, will remain operational.
It seems that only the surrounding information can be collected.
And they say it's possible to keep in touch with me.
The amount of energy Daritou is waking up to is very small and unlikely to be detectable by anyone with special items or skills.
I got that explanation, so I allowed the 'Temporary dormant mode'.
In this state, you can always talk to me and get the labyrinth up and running, even when some circumstances arise.
Well, actually... it's like Dalitsu's obsession... there are aspects to it that I allowed to be relieved of my appealing look...
Really, this 3D video technology is too awesome...
If you look at me like that... you can't say no...
This meant that "Ibiler Labyrinth" was to enter "Temporary dormant mode" after "Simple recovery mode".
I want to move forward with the reconstruction of my territory so that I can make the most of this labyrinth soon.
◇
After a light breakfast, we finally set off for 'City of Nanne'.
As usual, he set off in the 'house carriage' pulled by Olyo.
The Fei Dragons follow them by flying through the sky.
The people of the Castle, the employees of the Fairy Chamber of Commerce, the people of the city dropped us off, and we even came to the outer walls of the capital in the usual parade.
Thanks to the parade state, it took a lot of time.
If I normally go by carriage, it's still a process that takes about three days, but I'm going to ask Saya along the way to transfer it to a log house for transfer near 'City of Nanne'. And of course, the Fei Dragons.
Originally, I would like to go slow while checking the situation around the streets and meadow forests on the road...
Reconstruction of "The City of Nanne" must also proceed quickly.
Where there were no more signs of people, Saya's transfer moved him to a log house near 'City of Nanne'.
There came the slimes that were patrolling this area.
"Or something weird. On the wall...... a lot more. Something suspicious..."
"Something... Samsam......"
"You suck. You suck."
"Oh, shit, shit, shit."
"I don't know because I don't have any friends in the wall"
The Slimes have said that.
According to the slimes...
The exterior walls of "The City of Nanne" appear to have been suddenly added such as a lookout stand and a stick-out square.
Sounds like it just happened.
All I can think about is the power of magic or skill to suddenly have a viewing stand or square at the top of the outer wall......
With such handy skills, etc., it should be on the subject.
But I've never talked about that before...
Something is wrong.........................
I decided to keep my people here, including Nia.
Nothing can be seen here from the streets or exterior walls of 'The City of Nanne'.
Now, it's pretty close to the city, so when something happens, I can rush.
Nia wanted to go with me...
I have a bad feeling... I decided I should go alone.
I don't feel imminent danger because I'm still at a distance, but is it the effect of my 'hazard perception' or 'malicious perception' skills... something... I can't help but muzzle...
And intuitively, I felt like I should go alone.
I ran out onto the street and headed straight to the gates of 'City of Nanne'.
When I got to the gate... the door was closed.
And all of a sudden, armed men came out from the top of the outer wall and around the wall near the gate!
Around the wall, something like a battle trench seems to be dug.
The men all set up 'crossbows'.
These guys... are not city guards or soldiers of the Duke of Seyburn army...
"Whoa, don't move badly. Move, you're gonna blow these guys' faces off!
A leader-like man raised his voice, as if to restrain me from moving!
At the same time...... something amazing jumped into my sight!
In a square built above the outer walls, what... soldiers, including Miriam, Duchess of Seyburn's three maidens and deputy, and Gordion, captain of the Seyburn army, were held in captivity tied to a chair.
Everyone is being teased for sarcasm.
And on each person's head, 'Crossbow' is poked.
Behind each, the men stand side by side.
He's a man-to-man with a 'crossbow' stuck to his head.
Now pull the trigger and you'll die instantly.
That's more than thirty people lined up.
No matter how many stats you have that have breached my limits, if they fire you at once... you're very unlikely to be able to save everyone.
What the hell...
What's going on...
"What imitation!? Who are you people?
I turned to a man who looked like a leader and shouted up!
"Hahahaha, we have 'Justice Claw Marks' Assault Squad 'Sword One', we have this city! You can take your life any time you want! Well... let's get you named..."
The leaderlike man had a grin of abuse as he lowered his hood and put his hands on his skinhead.
"I have been asked to use it by Grimm, the territorial capital. I'm just here to see a friend."
"Hey! Don't be silly! Grimm...... no doubt about it. Are you Sin Oberon... the new noble hero... It's no use blurring! I can tell from this woman's reaction. I've been waiting... for you to come... If you spare these guys' lives, disarm them and get the rope! Don't freak me out! These are not the only hostages. All the city dwellers!
I tried to delude you appropriately... but I can't seem to.
Perhaps... Miriams also took the city's inhabitants hostage and didn't want to disarm them...
Seems like the only way to get a grip on the situation here is to dare get caught...
I removed the 'magic whip', which I use as my everyday weapon, from my hip hook and placed it on the ground. And I raised my hands.
"Where's my buddy? There's no way you're here alone!
A skinhead poked at the sharp spot.
"Like I said, they just asked me to use them. I'm alone. I came aboard the Fei Long. Fei Long is drinking water in a nearby river. Should be here any minute."
That's what I said and misled, calling Feilong's Fuji waiting at the Nears in a recital.
To make you believe the story.
Then, he instructed Nia and the others to connect the "bond communication" on an open line, inform them of the situation and wait as they were.
If I don't know a little more about the situation, I can't move.
It feels like it's ready... and it feels like it can't be detoured...
