Commercial city Plum.

To the east there is the Wang capital, to the west there is Savona with its harbour and to the north there is a city with a large barn zone. It was a major logistical shock in the east and west due to the large mountain range to the south.

Many merchants are still in and out.

The plum is covered by a thick wall about fifty meters high around the perimeter.

The outer walls of cities are often covered with thick walls. Often prepared to deal with enemies from outside, it is an indispensable substitute in the world of demons.

Besides, if it becomes this big a city, it could be attacked not only by demons, but also by people. However, you don't have to worry about a massive raid. The other direction is not bordered by the territory of any other country, and when it is attacked, it will be when it comes across the sea. As for the invasion from the east, the King's capital will be allowed to fall first by location.

You don't have to worry about a massive invasion, and if you're opponent like Plum crashes, you can't handle it in one city.

And there has never been a massive invasion at all.

It's a good thing there wasn't an invasion. I got to have another problem inside of something.

Increased power of merchants.

Merchants have power is similar to the Regulus Commercial State, which is a country in which merchants are at the centre of politics. What is in mind is the prosperity of the merchants, with controlled commerce and politics.

But Plum is nothing like Regulus. There is the Kingdom of Métis at the top, and it is only one city that governs under the Kingdom.

Take taxes from where the money is and try to serve the country.

I am not mistaken, but I buy the antipathy of the merchants who prioritize profits, and the merchants try to pursue their own interests by scratching the eyes of the rulers.

The table makes it a lawless zone behind while pretending to obey.

"Well, from here on out, it means something else."

"Wait a minute."

Trada grabbed me by the shoulder and stopped me as I tried to take Ira, Iris and Melissa ahead.

"Why are you trying to leave us?

"Have you ever been to Pram?

"Of course, there is?

Probably have been here in my duties as a knight.

Then maybe you didn't notice.

"I'll sneak you up later, and we'll let you act from here"

Approaching a city surrounded by huge exterior walls.

Plum has a number of gates that serve as entrances. Within the city, the compartments are divided according to the purpose, so that entering through the gates closest to the destination can reduce travel times.

In our case, we can go from anywhere but north to one of the gates on the east side.

"What can I do for you?

In front of the gate stands a gatekeeper with a tight face.

"I'm looking for 'something' on request. It's a very rare thing, and I was wondering if there might be one here."

Show the Adventurer Card and Status Card and tell them what the purpose of the visit is.

Plum where many merchants gather. Numerous excavations such as precious and rare objects can be seen. Not for special, suspicious reasons.

"You can come through."

The gatekeeper drops the weapon.

I don't want to imitate them wasting their time in and out because they also have a merchant's breath hanging on them, and if they don't have a problem, they make it through easily.

Hide yourself in the shadow of the building away from the gate.

"Well, what about those people?

"That would be difficult."

As Melissa says, it's hard to get through the gates of Pram safely in a knight.

They were right about that word, and after a while they've been diving through the gate, they weren't safe.

"Withdrawal"

Without saying goodbye, I'll leave the spot behind.

If I were to survive, I'd be a knight.

I don't know how much time it will take to investigate.

We were allowed to secure a base accommodation there. It's the same thing everywhere, and there's no reason it has to be here.

Enter a restaurant close to the inn for an operational meeting. So far, he hasn't even looked suspicious about us. Being flat is never more suspicious.

There are those who are now suspected.

"That's very thorough."

"That's all I want to hide," he said.

There is moderate noise in the restaurant.

Normally I don't have to worry about other people asking me for what I'm talking about.

"But don't you have to help?

"You don't have any particular problems."

It was the knights who acted differently, but they had surveillance on them the moment they entered the city.

I haven't noticed that all three of them are being watched. You went into the city under the guise of irrelevance, and now you're going to be on guard until we make contact.

I don't want you to be alarmed at the moment.

"Even those three are knights. You may not be able to deal with it if you're assassinated, but even the city doesn't want an assassination of a knight."

Probably should be kept under surveillance.

If you collide by force from the front, you're a knight, so you can deal with it.

"Hey, town"

The food is carried when we are talking about dealing with the knights.

It's a meat dish that steams a variety of meats with a number of spices. In the plum, where many objects are gathered, it has become popular to multiply various objects in this way. Of course, I'm not just multiplying it, but I'm figured out how to make it taste good.

"You're using a good amount"

"So, what do you do?

"I want to go in a short showdown if I can"

Direct surveillance is not on.

Still, information can be leaked from inns like the one you used and from stores like this restaurant. If I spend too much time on it, we're not taking on requests or anything, and it doesn't look like we have a purpose.

I want to settle within what they think is a normal adventurer.

"Let's use the references Satil has prepared for us"

The first included an invitation to the Chamber of Commerce, which was run by Prince Reginald.

At the Chamber of Commerce, which is responsible for logistics, he carries his luggage by running a carriage east to west while based in Plum. Because some mercenaries are held by the Chamber of Commerce, safety on the road is ensured and trust is gained.

But only commerce on the table is gaining trust. Behind, he distributes stolen and illegal goods by trying to get them to get into a lot of the luggage he's carrying. They also mislead some of the materials that make it a dangerous drug, and many people suffer.

"People who do business like this are stupid," I can only say.

"Really?

"Drugs, indeed, generate enormous profits temporarily. But if you sprinkle dangerous chemicals in your own territory, you will lose your productivity and you will not benefit."

In the long run, you will be losing money.

I'm just talking about changing the business area, but there's a good chance other merchants are already in the hands elsewhere. Negotiations with such people will cost a lot.

That's why I sell kusuri in places that have nothing to do with me.

They are dazzled by temporary profits and have no long-term sales strategy in place.

"Well, I mean crush it, okay?

"Of course it is. That's what Mr. Satyr wants."

What was in the envelope was a letter of introduction, rather than a map.

There was a map showing where the intended Chamber of Commerce was based, with a view of where in the building there was a hidden room connected to the back.

It's an easy substitute, but I can tell a lot about where the stash room is.

Nevertheless, it is behind us to break into the hidden room.

"Let's get in from the front first"
