Lesson 26: The Threatened - After
Count Zarbagne had a hard time with us, even if he thought we were in trouble.
Adventurer Alliance is powerful in the Kingdom of Estalia. That was also because the majority of the industry in the Kingdom of Estalia relied on materials produced from the labyrinth. The same goes for food, but more people processed the material to make clothes and blacksmiths than that.
The Labyrinth is managed by the Adventurer Alliance.
As a result, the Speech of the Adventurer Guild has grown, making it impossible for nobles to give orders to adventurers easily.
Being a high-ranking adventurer, it's hard for us to meet without a lot of appointments. No, using power makes it possible to meet. But soon after you do that, the Zarbagne family will turn the Adventurer Alliance against the enemy.
There was no foolish nobleman in the Kingdom of Estalia who would do that.
"That's why Count Zarbagne was also going to observe"
I was going to look at the fold and make contact with us and ask you to keep your mouth shut about the bandits. Fortunately, it is easy to remain silent if you go outside the country because you are a foreigner.
I also intended to show my sincerity about the villages and towns where the bandits were rampant by compensating them later with taxes and such.
"But it was last night and we had a problem."
Someone appeared to steam back the matter of the Bandits.
The assassin didn't know who he was.
But even from the eyes of Assassin, there is no doubt that those of higher standing than the Earl of Zarbagne, at least, are equivalent.
"Otherwise, you won't follow their orders."
Count Zarbagne had been threatened by his opponent.
The aim of the opponent is - to get us out of Esterbourg immediately.
You know it's not easy to beat us over there either. I didn't even demand killing them all.
"After all, Count Zarbagne had no choice but to swallow this demand."
There was no way they were going to steam back one of the Knights who became bandits.
"So it looks like he planned to send her to Esterborough, where she was a trusted assassin."
The Count, a nobleman, was in the king's capital.
From Wang capital to Esterbourg, those with high status can arrive in half a day if they do their best.
Things got tough to Esterbourg, and they took me from the tavern looking for us and witnessed Noel acting alone. Later, I multiplied the raid by deciding that it was a good opportunity because I ran into a place where a chimp was attacking me that only one person was targeting a lower-ranked Noel.
I would have been absolutely successful if I believed in my skill.
But unfortunately, they were bad.
"And well. This is why Assassin attacked us."
"What have you done with Assassin?
"I asked her for a message."
His opponent is the Count of Zarbagne.
The content is to give us information about the person who threatened to attack us in the near future. If they don't give it to you, they will spread the bandits in the Wang capital.
"Apparently it would be very troublesome if I could spread the rumors, so I decided to let it be used as a threat material"
Now it turns out they're being targeted by two forces.
The purple robe guy who fanned the chimps.
The one who came threatening Count Zarbagne.
"I'll report back to you, too."
"What?"
I've been drinking at the liquor store yesterday, Melissa.
I didn't think I had anything to report to her, so I overheard her.
"These are the Scots who invited us to launch yesterday, but they are also part of the hostile forces"
"You don't have that."
Deny Melissa's report.
I'm making sure there's no hostility when I see them first.
The point of light that displays the position of the person in view has the function of identifying the enemy and the ally, so that the ally is displayed in blue and the enemy in red, and for those who are neither, in yellow.
The Scots we met at the tavern were displayed in yellow close to blue.
It was because it was true that I was grateful for your help.
You can almost say I'm on your side.
"No, they were just used"
"Using?"
"Yes. Apparently, by completing the request, my client, the Earl of Wales, gave me a reward multiplier and yesterday's introduction to the tavern"
Mr. Scott and the others were also visiting the tavern where the launch took place for the first time, leaving the food and liquor served to the tavern.
The recommended drinks and dishes were satisfactory and they left in a good mood.
I mean...
"The enemy was at the liquor store."
That tavern was where the Count of Wales breathed.
With that said, Mr. Scott's hostility had not even been confirmed by the master of the tavern or by the employees.
"It was a detour"
"Yeah, it looks like the aim over there was to hold him where he was drunk and crushed."
For this reason, I gave out delicious liquor until I faked the amount.
But when I tried to do it, there was a huge miscalculation.
First, I got drunk first, and that made even Noel go home, sensing the situation being attacked, and soon back to Illis and Sylvia.
As for the liquor store side, more than half of the plan failed because it was intended to gradually serve drunken liquor.
When that happened, I had to bet on the remaining Ira and Melissa.
And the biggest miscalculation.
That Melissa was resistant to alcohol by the time she was unusual.
The intoxicating liquor was offered to Mr. Scott and only as much as they did… but there was no way Melissa could get drunk at all. Or Melissa right in front of me. As usual.
"I magically questioned the master in the morning to confirm"
Everything is an order from the Earl of Wales.
However, he can only tell if the Earl of Wales is as threatened as the Earl of Zarbagne is the master of the tavern.
Assassin only knew that Count Zarbagne was threatened because she was a trusted subordinate of the Count.
"But you've come a long way today."
A person who could threaten the Count worked for the three forces.
So far I don't even know if I'm a solo or multiple offender.
But I'm pretty sure he's coming hostile looking at this one as a threat.
"If you're looking, it must be from someone who threatened the Earl of Wales."
"Why?
"Try to remember. Don't you think it's too convenient when you were attacked by a red crab (Crimson Club) in the labyrinth?
They ran into the Crimson Club just the moment we entered the labyrinth.
It is also possible to clean it up in a word of coincidence, but since it is a labyrinth with a labyrinth lord, the current location of the demons that emerge is also free. The second Crimson Club seems to have suddenly appeared, too, if you think about it.
"A little bit, maybe the way you look at it, but there's a chance you might have prepared a situation like that to get to know us."
"... don't take too much trouble"
But for that reason, we went to the tavern in a natural way.
When I went to the tavern, no one was alert to the people on the side of the tavern.
Melissa noticed because her master got upset because she was in a hurry against herself who wasn't drunk either.
It may be ineffective indeed, but my vigilance was diminishing.
"Do you want to look into that?"
Nevertheless, the investigation must take place after tomorrow.
I have an appointment to meet with the president of The Golden Fox Chamber of Commerce from now on.
