Cursed Sword Master

The next day, we resumed our activities with the same membership as yesterday. The difference, however, was that my party wasn't going to Zatil's Tower.

"Oh! Long time no see! Lord Fujinomiya? Oh, my God!

It was the muscular old man with a forty tangled mustache who came in loud and somewhat with all his might opening the door of the reception room passed at the visiting Lordship Hall. It's Raytalk lord Isaac.

"Sir. How many times do I have to tell my customers to be rude if they don't open the door quietly?"

"Oh! You did! They did say. I'll remember that!

"It doesn't make any sense if you can't do it even if you remember. You fucking idiot. And keep your voice down. I told you it's no different than intimidation if you're not used to it."

"Ha ha! It was, it was! How many times have you been noticed with this? About the tenth?

"What the hell are you talking about? 1301 for the door. This is the 2524th time I've heard a voice."

"Mm-hmm. That's just a bad number of times to remember. haha!

"Ha... That's the 823rd time you've said that"

Oh... you're the same. These people. Seems like they're getting quite a few more times in a while...

I dressed myself in the maid clothes I had withheld behind the bearded man... I guess it was mimosa for sure. She was also faceless and ruthlessly stuck in a bearded man last time, but I feel like I see a bit of frustration with the boulder. More importantly, I'm sad to say that the bearded man doesn't have the appearance that he's also passing on shards.

"Okay! I remember. Leave it to me. Well, I wonder what my city benefactors are up to today. You've been a bit of a mess here, and I'm surprised you promised to see people after this. I took the time because of my benefactor, but I can't stay with him for long. Sorry."

Well, being a lord would be a lot busy, and meeting people would be part of the job. If that's all you see people every day, isn't it surprising that mimosas get dramatically more attention?

No, it's more strange that Isaac doesn't see any improvement at all even though he's been noticed that often......

"No, this one has business after this and I'm not going to stay long. I came here today to advise you and to tell you that in some circumstances you are willing to help the Leytalk army."

"... what do you mean?

The look on Isaac's face, which was a mood to welcome us, instantly turned into something harsh. Maybe there's a verse that comes to mind.

"Has anyone else recently had to leave government because of an inexplicable accident or sudden illness around Raytalk?

"... how do you know that when you weren't in this city? Tell me everything you know. Depends..."

That change, which could be described as Isaac's dramatic, made me wonder if a comic book would show the letters behind it, depicting a feeling of wind in the intimidation that was unleashed.

Span!

"Oops!

"What the hell are you doing! Be rude to your customers. If you want to intimidate me, it's the right way to use it to squeeze out more information after you've spouted it all out."

Hey, where did that slipper come from, and where did it disappear? What you're saying is worse than Isaac's.

"Oh! You did. I'm sorry to disturb you, Lord Fujinomiya. Now, don't hesitate to talk to me."

…………

Do you think you can keep such a naked inside story in front of your grand eyes and pull information out of them with it? I'm not that angry because I look stupid and I can't hate you...

Well, in the end, I have to talk to you because this time there's some bottom line about wanting to use the help of the Raytalk Army. These guys' opponents are kind of tiresome.

"Ha... Sistina. Can I ask you a favor?

"Hehe...... ok. Dear Souzillow,"

In the end, the explanation of the Holy Tower relationship threw a round at Sistina. Sistina would explain it with a good blur, maybe with the part you want to hide in samurai relations.

― ― ― ― ― ― ― ― ― ―

"I see... why don't we build a city of fanatics here..."

Only the tone leaks a swordswallowing voice as the quiet Isaac drifts his anger from his body.

"Perhaps… this city is a scenic city on the lake, but in other words it is easy to protect and difficult to attack. If you take control of the city well at first hand, you'll have to work relatively little to defend yourself after that."

"Well, it's true that a city is harder to attack than this one to attack with an army. You can't bring a ship from the outside. If we drop the bridge, we won't be able to attack in the army."

"Yes, and you can buy more from Micalea and Fresberg than you can from the forwarders."

Listen to Isaac and Sistina. It does seem difficult to get Raytalk off the outside. Is that why the Holy Tower chose this city and came to the assassination squad to attack it from within...

Isaac has reached his elbows over his own knees, shaking his shoulders small as he drops his sharp eyes to the table, concealing his mouth with his stiff combined hands.

"Ku... Ku... well done, well informed. That means our defensive captain can't get up from an unexplained illness, that a newcomer of expectations, who was an executive candidate, was killed in an alley at night, that Old Mult, who was a heavy financial town, died suddenly, and that Mrs. Adover, the head of the Navy, was about to be attacked in the middle of the night, all because of his fanatics."

"We don't have any evidence yet. It just came up as a possibility from our protection of our daughters who happened to have escaped that assassination unit. Our people are still moving to take the back."

"Oh!... you sure do. There's no proof."

"The investigation is scheduled to take a few more days, but if this city is being targeted, there may be something in between. I don't care if you exaggerate too much, but I was wondering if you should prepare for VIP protection and unforeseen circumstances, so I asked you this time."

Sistina had decided in the end to discover it from information she had obtained from Xia and Yang by saving all the time talking about samurai relations. I might have to disclose information about it when I'm going to be fighting the Holy Tower religion, but it would be a decision I don't need that much in the current situation.

"Sir, time is approaching for a visit after this"

"Right...... no, let me wait a little longer. Anyway, most of today's meetings have been held here recently to discuss how to respond to misfortunes to dignitaries."

When Isaac shook his head at the words he was told to whisper from behind Isaac, he sent Mimosa out of the room. I guess I let the people waiting to see me go explain the situation.

"I'm sorry. As they thought, our city is currently confused by the departure of successive dignitaries. We're in a situation where we're being followed."

Looks like Raytalk is definitely the only one being targeted by this situation. After that, how far back can the cherry blossoms take when it's the work of the Sacred Tower... but it's also a question of how to crush it. Can I ask you something...

"What if we find out who did this in a series of cases?

"It's a matter of our city. Sure, let me put some bullshit on it."

Isaac's grin, which clearly answers my query, is a noisy one. This is pretty much stuck in your stomach...

"The enemy is a religious group. How do you crush enemies made up of some executives and special organizations, as well as followers of the elephant?

"Right, do you have that problem......... first crush it if you have something like a base. Crush executives too. Crush dark tissue as well. If the faithful resist, they will be crushed."

That's the lord. As the keeper of the city, the judgment around it is harsh. And fortunately, it's pretty much in line with our policies. Judgment or decision around here isn't part of Seira, Fresberg's lord, yet. I still feel sweet from that female lord.

"I think we can help."

"Well... I'm sure you guys said that because you don't want to stand out?

"Yes. Of course, we haven't changed our policies yet. For the same reason as Isaac."

"... you did protect those who had fled the organization."

"Yeah... I was in terrible shape when I protected him"

Isaac used to keep an eye on me, but eventually he slapped me on the knee when he broke his face.

"Aye, okay! Then let's just say hello."

"Thank you. We'll get back to you with the results of this investigation. If the Lords are going to open an investigation, please take care not to kill our scouts in the field."

If Isaac's scourge and cherry blossoms crumble during Raytalk's investigation, I can't even open my eyes.

... There's no reason for me to get around to this, and Sakura asked me to "definitely keep the conversation going, Master Soo" when I decided to provide information in Raytalk.

"Oh! Sure you do.... Mm, mimosa, are you back? In this case, I decided to fight this party of Lord Fujinomiya. Ask each other's scouts to respond so they can't rub each other in the field."

"Yes, sir."

Mimosa, who is supposed to be a maid, nods honestly to Isaac, who quickly flies his support to Mimosa, who is back in the reception room.

"Ha, even if it looks like this, my mimosa also serves as my bodyguard. Because of this, we also work with our army scouts. It's quicker to talk through mimosas."

For a moment, Isaac, who noticeably found a question mark on my face, gave me an explanation. Surely this mimosa was the same race and foxtail tribe as Kasumi. Perhaps the Foxtails are suited for that kind of relationship work.

"Was I? Okay, let me pack up the story later. Thank you for your time today."

"No, this is the one who appreciates the valuable information. One can also guess to some extent who is likely to be targeted next if the other person's purpose is known. Any more damage will be contained. Some will look new just looking around knowing what to watch out for, keeping your outlook on the city unobtrusively enhanced."

Me and Isaac get up and shake hands hard. I was able to confirm that Isaac was a man who could fight against the palm of every single hand that I could not think of as a lord.

Well, for now, business at the Lordship Hall ends with a meeting with Mimosa. When you're done, it's your fault today, so let's go up the tower of Raytalk.

Then we made an ultimatum arrangement with Mimosa and we immediately followed the Lordship Hall. He pointed his leg straight at the tower of Raytalk and went straight into the tower.

This time, an attack from a hierarchy is dared to confirm a hierarchy display or the like. I could have just checked it out and re-entered it from the lobby again, but more fighting demons won't be a waste even for a miscellaneous fish opponent in the sense of gaining experience, so I won't stop by, but I decide to go up from the inside.

Whenever you fight, a wolf overwhelms a wolf about two times bigger than a tower wolf, the main tower fang of one tier while knocking down a tower wolf or stone papet. One wolf overwhelms the other and knocks it down to two tiers.

Copy the "2" numbers and confront Stoneman Papette, a man-made demon made of stone, the Lord of the two tiers while defeating Tower Wolf, Tower Bat, and, rarely, Ant Man, etc. with a slightly higher rank.

Place the flash slash and snow on the sheath to keep the stone from hurting your opponent and literally smash the Great Sword of the Giant God out of a special sheath utilizing the item box feature that was worn on his thigh. In sturdiness, the Great Sword of the Giant God boasts excellent performance, so smashing a man-made size stone won't scratch one.

By allowing Mr. Dylan to create a sheath that utilizes the item box feature, I am currently carrying three weapons. It is the Great Sword of the Flash of Slash Specialization, the Snow of Slash Specialization, and the Giant God of Destructive Power Specialization. The basics are flash slaughter and snow duplicity, but I think it looks pretty good because some occasions, like this one, the Great Sword is effective. It's just that when the snow populates, my gear changes again.

The more weapons I use for it, the more time and density I train for it, so I get very tight... I still try to shake the Fluorescent, Cherry Blossom, Sunflower, Snow, Flash Slash, the Great Sword of the Giant God and six weapons every day as possible. Well, sometimes humanization groups don't come with convenience, so it's not like six every day, but it's a pretty heavy labor.

If you sheath the Great Sword in agony, copy the letters straight toward the three tiers. And while defeating the Ant Man, Tower Middle Slime, Tower Wolf, etc. on three levels, defeat the large blue slime, which is as long as the back length of the person named Main Tower Big Slime on three levels, with fluorescent magic and Sistina's Magic Break (Hammer).

I stopped everyone in the waiting room thinking it was just a little weird when I went up to the four levels.

"What's up? Souzillo, we haven't fought hard enough yet."

Mr. Hotaru is looking down at me with his arms around him as he swung his stunning double hills.

"No, I'm not physically a problem either. I just didn't think it was a little weird?

I may not have noticed because I'm the only one who can do the appraisal, but I don't think it's weird that this member is feeling a little uncomfortable because Raytalk's low tier is a member who's been here a few times...

"Could it be... demonic composition, is it?

Yeah, that's Sistina.

"Yes, there is a mixture of two, three levels and demons that have never appeared in that hierarchy. Ant-Man is supposed to be a demon from four levels, and it's supposed to be from five levels up to Tower Middle Slime."

'If you ask me, the smell structured differently than usual. It was certainly an unprecedented combination. My Lord.'

"So, what? Are you saying that we're starting to fall on this tower again? Isaac said the tower hasn't had that kind of strength for a while.

Fluor was right. Raytalk lord Isaac did say that. But Isaac, the lord, doesn't know everything about the strange tower. Because I didn't even realize there was a special number in the tower.

"Maybe what the lord was saying is also right. But I don't think the only condition for a falling floor is the tower's margin... maybe there are other conditions."

"Conditions…?

"... yeah. I can't imagine what that is at all. The current state of the tower is not unlikely."

I've heard from Sistina that enemies may rank as high or as low as the average rank, so this demon falls within that rank, so when it comes to tolerance, it's acceptable.

"I can't help thinking about something I don't know. Isn't all we can do is gather information and communicate it to management as a possibility?"

"Mm, sure. It doesn't prove that the distribution of demons in the tower will ever change."

"Then let's try our best to gather information and let the Alliance know. So if you call attention to something, it should do less harm."

"It's an adventurer's guild for that. All right! Well, let's not push it. Let's try to gather as much information as possible up to the top tier."

'I understand, my Lord. Then let's go here.'

One wolf seems to have fought against me due to the smell even during the conversation. He's the best obedient devil I can count on.

― ― ― ― ― ― ― ― ― ― ― ― ― ― ― ―

In the end, I worked hard to get up to ten levels that day, but overall it felt like about +2 levels of demons appeared slightly above me.

The battle was stable even in the lay talk, which is more difficult per hierarchy than Zatil's at our party, and the occasional demons of the upper echelons were good customers for us to obtain good demon stones. Our party is getting stronger enough to say so.

However, I think it's pretty tough for a freshly made adventurer party to suddenly have two ranked demons up there suddenly.

We were sent out of the tower by the Lords to pass on information to the Raytalk branch of the Adventurer Alliance. As an Alliance, you can do the least you can if you give that information to the adventurers. Even if the adventurers who heard that information made a reckless attack without taking any action and were injured, the Alliance would not have to be held accountable for that much and would not be able to find that much trouble. Assuming something happens, the guild's rating shouldn't go down.

Nevertheless...... I kind of feel more and more mysterious about the tower these days. You might want to do some serious research on the tower when this whole Holy Tower thing is cleared up.

Anyway, good luck today. I want to get back to the mansion and take my time.
