"Hey, Warren, get the map in front of you and figure out what you're doing with a hard face."

No, it was General Rover who spoke to Sir Warren, who was thinking toward his desk.

"I was wondering if you could estimate the location of the base of the

"He estimated the base of the kingdom from north to south."

"Yeah. But Norland in the north will probably be a tow for the Vazari attack. The attack on Vazari was aimed at freeing the subhuman slaves, so to speak, there seems to have been no room for a preference for the location."

"But if you say so, so will the forests of Barren and Silva."

"Yes, it's just that Vazari is jumping away from other places, but the forests of Barren and Silva are rather wrapped around the same range"

"... what happens to the shalds?

"It's a ruin, and it didn't actually come out, did it?

"Hmm...... so what happens then?

As Lord Warren turns the map he was spreading to his desk towards General Rover, he explains it pointing to each point.

"Of the rest of the point, Barren, Silva, Morrow, and the place where you heard the dragon roar, the distance between Silva and Morrow, which is the furthest from each other, is assumed to be the range of action of the If you draw a circle on the map with that distance as its diameter, it hits the center of the circle..."

"... nothing."

"Yeah. Near the boundary between Ballen and Elgin territories, right? The nearest town will be Ballen or Elgin."

"... do you think there's a base for one of them?

"I can't do that short circuit. Because it is possible that he is making it look that way. … it is just a fact that Xu acted in the places listed here. Then the possibility of leaving some kind of footprint in a town convenient for manoeuvres cannot be discarded."

"Barren, or Elgin..."

"One way or another, Barren's line would be thin."

"Why, can you say all that?

"I'm not saying enough… it's hard to imagine making so much noise in a town where I'm based."

"Is it Elgin who stays..."

"It's just... so we're talking about what to do..."

"What? Shouldn't we be looking into it right away?

"Xu has so far shown no hostility to the kingdom. But if we imitate the way we explore our strongholds poorly here..."

"Could it be a snake..."

"In that case, snakes aren't cute to come out of, are they?

"Right."

The two soldiers contemplate. It's risky either to put exploration in poorly or to look past it in silence. So what can I do for the moment...

"Get in touch with my bad friends in Elgin's Adventurer Alliance. If you're going to ask me if there's been anything unusual in Elgin's town in the past year or so, there's nothing to stimulate it."
