Disciple of Immortal

"Let me say from the mouth of Non about the views of the Ranho disturbance investigated by the Adventurer Guild"

Where the faces were all set, Gannett took a seat.

"The Adventurer Guild concludes that the abnormal occurrence of Ragno was due to the fall of the Demon King. Because the mass outbreak of demons of the same lineage, the emergence of superior species, both are demonic disasters caused by the influence of the Demon King."

When Gannett explained that, the adventurers began to bother.

"You think he's the demon king? You're lying, right?"

A man magician speaks in surprise.

"I'm not kidding. It's easy for the Demon King to show up."

Alfred also had his face bright blue.

Alfred, whose liver sat against Pomera all that time, seems to be scared of the Demon King.

Rosmond was poking his knee at his desk and exhaling heavily.

"I thought maybe you would. Chip, if you're leaving, before the other residents know it."

"Lo, Mr. Rosmond, what!

A human on the Alliance's staff side condemned Rosmond's words.

"What's wrong? I have no right to risk my life on your orders. My life, my place of death, I decide. I don't care if it's convenient for you."

"That's why I don't have to tell you now......!

"Stop."

Gannett stared at the staff.

"Lord Rosmond, no matter what, let me tell you a story based around it. I will prepare a price commensurate with the danger. Can you listen to Non now? Afterwards, you can leave this city and have it your way. At that time, if you don't stop, you can't blame me."

"Ha, it would be natural"

Rosmond laughed Gannett's words with his nose, but separated the words there.

Rosmond, who sees Gannett in silence, seemed lonely somewhere.

I only possessed a thin knowledge of the Demon King.

But I understood it with the air in the field.

The emergence of the Demon King is not just a matter of time.

Rosmond already seemed to think that the magic city of Manarak was too late.

And that's what Gannett and the adventurers around him embrace.

That's when Cotone put his hand up all the time.

After staring annoyingly at the gathered gaze around him, he opened his mouth.

"... really, Demon King? Neither mass outbreaks nor the occurrence of superior species are demonic disasters limited to the harm of the appearance of the Demon King. It seems very unlikely to me that it would be the basis for a determination. Besides, Raño's mass outbreaks themselves tended to be fairly long-term. If you're the Demon King, you're moving too slow. It's strange that there's no more unusual anomalies in your eyes."

It was a pale voice color.

When Cotone finished saying it, he lowered his hand all the way as he meditated his eyes.

"Oh, yeah. The appearance of the Demon King is too dramatic"

A man adventurer was listening to Cotone and nodding loudly as he noticed and indicating his consent.

I hear Cotone has a lot of credit from other adventurers, too.

The strength was also acknowledged by Rosmond. Maybe it's been quite a while since I've been in this world.

"If it were just the advent of a superior species, it would have been. However, the sightings of the large raño found by Lord Pomera and those of the large raño found by Lord Alfred are far apart. Besides, strange traces of ground have been reported in yet another land. Perhaps this also belongs to the large Raño"

The birth of a large raño was confirmed in three places, in a remote area?

But what will that be?

"Normally, that can happen, such as the emergence of the same superior species on an extensive scale at about the same time. Maybe it means coincidence. But that's up to two places too. There are no three places. They were born in the same place."

Gannett left his seat with a feather pen in his hand and marked three spots on a large map that had been affixed to the wall.

"These are the three sightings. And these are the five places, apart from here, where there was a large group of sightings of Ragno."

Gannett marks five new.

Then I started connecting the eight marks with a line.

It was distorted, but it was like a large semicircle.

The adventurers rose.

Cotone, who pointed out that the Demon King might have been early, was also sweating cold with no expression.

Gannett brought his fingers along the circumference, then tapped with his fingers three places in the appearance position of the large raño.

"For some reason, a raño is emerging to center on one point. Besides, all Ragno shows up is a big hill low."

"Well, that's what happened!

A man magician slaps his desk and flies wild.

But it seemed more like a heartfelt word and deed that I didn't want to face reality directly than Gannett's words.

"It's been weird for a long time. At first, the deviant individuals of Laño, who were supposed to act in large groups, appeared slightly, and at the same time, as shown below, a large group of Laños appeared around the city. A confronted adventurer would know, but Raño digs a hole"

That's what Gannett explained as he made a clench in remorse.

It was a voice as if it was dampening the passion.

That was rather stirring up a sense of peripheral crisis.

"Perhaps they have built a giant nest underground. Perhaps in the heart of this distorted circle. Besides, the Lord of the Nest has apparently tried to keep Ragno out of the surface as little as possible to delay us humans from noticing. What we saw was only a fraction of the nest that saturated and overflowed the ground. Obviously, their best friend has an evil intelligence. A demon of intelligence who can build a nest of this magnitude and can read human movements could normally be considered. Except for the Demon King."

The room calmed down.

Both Cotone and the man mage who was in tune with her are just silent.

"... the more time the Demon King gives, the stronger he becomes. If it had been born at the time of the first discovery of an unnatural raño, the early stages would have gone far already. Class A adventurers just beat it with ten or twenty, and it's not the earliest we can do anything about it anymore. This is a national crisis. Non already thinks that Manarak adventurers alone can crusade on a much larger scale."

The more Gannett talks, the heavier the air gets.

Rosmond shut up, too.

I'm wearing a mask, so I don't even know what you look like.

Alfred also had a deep wrinkle between his eyebrows, causing his nose to tremble with tingling.

"If he's intelligent, he must know that the big raño was crusaded, and he understands that he's noticed his existence. Here in Manarak, too close to the demon king's nest. I have already skipped contacting other cities to receive refugees. Ask the evacuees to escape from this city with minimal baggage and overstretched the demon king's nest. I'd like to ask you to escort me and my lord in preparation for the demon king's raid."

... After all, Gannett also seemed to already intend to dump the magic city of Manarak.

It shouldn't have been an easy decision to make.

At any rate, Gannett is the executive of one of the largest research institutes in the country and at the same time the guild master of the Adventurer's Guild in this capital.

It's like throwing away all the accomplishments and achievements you've built so far.

But you thought it was better than sticking unnecessarily and losing people's lives.

"Non can stop you from running ahead. But I just want you to avoid spreading the presence of the Demon King. It will cause unnecessary mayhem. That's all I'm going to tell the residents that the Ragno herd is threatening to attack even soon. We're going to be in the guild, getting ready for mass evacuation. He who says he can help us for the city wants us to come back here in the early morning chicken hour. The reward plays. Anyone who wants to negotiate, let's take it from here on out."
