Lesson 28: Amber of the fruit of the Divine Tree
"I'm so sorry!
Mr. Garland, the organizer, bowed his head when he said he was eating the dishes served to the party venue in a slightly more relaxed mood.
"Keep your head up, please"
I know why.
Though Mr. Garland did not have a downfall, there was once again a burglary within the party venue.
As for Mr. Garland, who was fully guarded, I have nothing else to apologize for.
"I was a detour, too. I can't believe the invitees work stealing..."
It's an act of painting mud on the person you invited me to.
"He's a poor nobleman, isn't he?"
I remember the guard saying that.
"Oh, not only has he been demoted from the Baron to the Knight Sir, but he has also confiscated some of his assets. They're cornered because of that."
As a result, I reached for the diamond that won the auction.
I'm also a kid who's been hounded by debt and challenged to the labyrinth, so I don't know how I feel, but I shouldn't steal.
"In a room still under house arrest. 'I don't know. It's a mistake of some kind,' he repeatedly shouts."
But physical evidence is coming out.
It only sounds like an excuse because so many nobles have seen that.
His status and honor had fallen to the ground for a long time.
"I just wanted to thank you if I could."
"That's fine."
Because it was my diamond that prevented the diamond from being stolen.
I got the ring back at the party venue, and I helped because Rio had asked me to.
Mr Garland, of what he explains so, did not seem convinced.
I guess he also has his pride as an organizer of the party, a nobleman.
"Then I'd like to take on what Mr. Garland said yesterday about the demon crusade."
"That helps..."
Then I can't thank you.
I guess that's what you think.
"As a reward for that crusade, you can have the jewels we ask for."
"I see."
Mr. Garland was also convinced.
Thank you by adding a little color to the reward.
"Actually, there was a jewel that bothered me."
We go together in front of the gems that were on display in the party venue.
There was an amber on display that was placed in a rigorous glass case and had a plant seed-like object at the centre.
"This amber? This seems to be a substitute my great-grandfather stumbled upon while walking in the woods, and it was so beautiful that he took it home unexpectedly"
The amber, which was made of hardened sap, looked glowing.
"You want that much?
"Yes, one of the party members found it and liked it."
"I see."
Illis, who was strolling around the party venue, stumbled upon it.
I'm convinced that Mr. Garland, who knows that all my party members are women at the party venue yesterday, thinks it's a gift for women.
"Okay. I promise to give it to you as a reward for your crusade."
"Thank you"
I had to go away to crusade the demons, but that's all it's worth in this amber.
"Looks like we made it."
"Oh."
Report to Illis who found Amber.
"I can't believe this is happening."
"I'm surprised too."
It wasn't Amber that mattered to us, it was a substitute like the seed of a plant in Amber.
It only looks like a plant seed, but this is definitely 'the fruit of the Divine Tree'.
It is a small substitute for what can be called a shard compared to the fruit of the Divine Tree previously obtained in the elf, but it must still have a more powerful divinity than magic. Thanks to this, you should be able to acquire magic more efficiently than you can magically convert the gold and silver treasures you acquired at the auction.
"That's why when the auction is over, we're headed to Amento territory."
"Okay."
I go around the party venue with Illis because I got acknowledgements from other members for reading.
I feel all sorts of gaze from the party venue.
Even though he was a fallen knight, he had a strange gaze at the capture of the nobility.
Still, the organizer of the party, Mr. Garland, said it was no problem, and no one would make a stand out move because he even told me that I had a connection with the emperor.
"Coming."
Party venues get noisy.
My gaze was pointed at the woman in the new dress who came in.
The woman moves on to the party venue without worrying about her surrounding gaze or anything, and comes all the way to me.
May I have a moment, please?
"What's wrong?
I travel to the corner to the party venue, taken by Pina, who is careful of words because there are nobles around me.
You don't have to worry about being heard if you talk in a low voice in this place.
"I just met someone who made a scene of theft."
"What's the result?
"Same people who were at castles and auction venues. under the influence of some skill."
"Right."
Illis, who was watching the noise, told Mr. Cattleya the upside of the matter in The Far Tale Crystal, and Marie, who shared information and was suspicious, contacted Pina in a diligence to head to Count Ament's mansion.
Even Mr. Marie's perception was so financially stranded that it was not strange for Sir Darrenberg to work the theft. But I got suspicious because of what I said and did when I was caught.
Apparently that was the right thing to do. Successfully deactivated the skill.
"Did I do something wrong to him?
Many noblemen showed me how they could be captured if they had worked theft because of their skills, shaped close to wet clothes.
"You don't have to worry"
"Why?"
"If you were an innocent white man who I don't normally think would steal, someone could have come in to help. If it doesn't even make it seem strange for everyone to steal, it means that they had problems with their normal behavior."
If I had been careful from time to time, I wouldn't have been treated like a murderer.
"Besides, what you say and do after you deactivate your skills is also a problem"
I keep saying that I don't know anything, just like I did when I was caught.
Besides, he wields his power as a nobleman, demanding that he immediately open up and pay compensation.
It's so ridiculous.
If this is what you say and do to someone who is noble and inferior to you, it was fine, but the person you are complaining about is the servant of the Count family who is working under the orders of Mr. Garland, the Count.
Besides, they've said the same thing to Pina, the emperor's sideroom.
He didn't know the new emperor's sideroom because he was demoted from the baron and was also neglected by events in the center.
Poor thing, if Rio finds out about this, it's likely he won't be a nobleman this time.
He didn't want to invite Mr. Garland either, but he explained with an apology that his predecessors, when he was a baron, had no choice but to call him after he seemed to have taken care of him.
"Dealing with enemies is more important than being such an idiot"
The enemy is sneaking into imperial castles and auction venues as well as individual party venues.
"The way I touched them didn't change their appearance. That's not the 'transformation' skill the thief had. It's not even a 'wall out' that can be used to break in."
Pina goes with her own thoughts mouthed like an answer match.
Some of us already have answers.
"Skills like 'Brainwashing' if you can think of one"
I had no self-consciousness of talking to a thief or stealing a gem in person, and I acted that way if I realized it.
Possibly manipulated by powerful brainwashing.
Perhaps the manipulated Darrenberg had stolen the diamonds, then transported the jewels to a pre-specified location so that the diamonds could cross into the hands of the person brainwashing them.
You don't have to lay your hands directly to get the jewels.
"In this case, if I disable the effect of my skills, I can't get to the curtain."
"No problem. I've already figured out what to do."
To do this, we need to find the person being manipulated and have Pina deactivate it.
"That's the same labyrinth lord as Rio"
"I can't let you taste this one, so the next time I find you, I'm gonna bump you out."
