Ten days passed after Neme was taken, and the faces of the 'Arrivers' reached Aifan.

Although we were able to enter the country safely, the destination is still far away.

When I asked the pedestrians who were together in the carriage, Cardinal Huguet was a well-known figure in the country, probably in the city of Bithrill, the largest Cesina sanctuary and capital of the country.

Bithrill had to take the carriage from the border for more than five days, which was another long journey.

When I finally arrived at Bithrill, I looked out the window of the carriage, and the mountain spreading forward was like a concave shaped mountain with a scraped top.

Is that Bithrill?

I wondered, when I opened my mouth, the man who pulled the carriage answered.

"Is that it? Is this your first time in Bithrill?"

"That's right. Could you tell me about the city, please?"

I can't refuse a little girl's favor.

When Roslia asked about the kindness of love she had, the man answered with a carefree face.

"Hundreds of years ago, there was still war.Aifan was a country of constant strife, not to mention the example.Major cities were caught in the crossfire, and the Bithrill of the city at the crater site, with its unique terrain, was relatively rarely attacked, but it was still a strange situation to be at the center of the struggle. "

A man who pulls a carriage will tell the history of Bithrill.

Roslia asked about the current situation in the city, but I can't interrupt the story of the fever any longer.We decided to listen to each other as it was.

"So a hero appeared.It's a dwarf named Forge Martius.Kids in this country know that name.He decided to make a grand plan to be single, worried about the state of Bithrill, which he did not know when to attack.It was to make Bithrill a fortress city in this mountain. "

"Is it a fortress city...."

"Yes, I still know who was in power at the time, but Forge was still a civilian boy.It was said that everyone laughed with their noses that it was impossible to do that, combined with the environment in the mountains.Still, Bithrill was working on the plan. "

So, did the plan succeed?

Roslia asks a question as she looks at the mountain in the window.

The man answered with his chest full.

"Oh, it worked.Overturn everyone's expectations.Of course, it seems that the plan was difficult at first.It's impossible for a boy to turn a city into a fortress city.On the way, however, the boy attained the age of fifteen and acquired the skills.It's now a legendary skill. "

"[Handler of the Hammer]...."

I didn't think it would connect to what Diego told me here.

From the name, [Hammer Bearer] is the third Holy Instrument Series skill, followed by [Sword Leader] and [Gun Hidden Hand].

I had heard the man's story in half, but perhaps I could draw inspiration from the Forge and his anecdotes to draw the power of the [Holy Sword's Guide].

I decided to change my attitude to listening.

"Forge used the hammer created by his skills to rebuild the city," he said.Strong rock beds make for stronger walls.Leave the covered grass behind and lock the door there.We decided to restore the city's intrusive terrain and rebuild it as a maze to prevent intruders.As a result, Bithrill became an impenetrable fortress, and all residents began to celebrate Forge's achievements.This is the history of the city. "

"You can do that with one skill."

"Yes, that's why this city is considered a Cesina sanctuary.By the myth that God spared the fire by a miracle.Nearly a hundred years later, the capital of Aifan was transferred to Bithrill, and it still remains. "

"Does that mean you can only see mountains from a distance, but you don't know when the cannon will fly if you try to shoot?"

Roslia asks with her index finger pointing to her cheek.

The man who pulled the carriage said with a smile.

"I didn't say it right. Bithrill was a fortress city for centuries.Now, the magic encapsulated by the hammer is also on the bottom, and it's just a fortress.Well, losing its function as a fortress would make it a city.And there is no war now.That's why there's nothing wrong. "

Well then, I'm relieved.

"There's just a lot of remnants of the city as a fortress.I think you can enjoy it as a sightseeing spot.Many tourists are captivated by the unusual city scene.If I don't have a job, I'd love to show you around. "

"If we had nothing to do, we would have liked to go sightseeing.It's another opportunity. "

Roslia said with a smile of affection.

She's right. We have a mission to get back the cat.

It was true that I was interested in the city of Bithrill after listening to the man, but now it is a time wasted situation.

I thought I couldn't afford to go sightseeing after the noise to get back the nerds, but I watched the approaching mountain.



The "Arrivals" arrived in Bithrill and took their base accommodation.

If we can figure out the general whereabouts of Neme, the rest is ours.

I have Mapping and Search Enemy art.

Neme was able to find signs of her by entering the Enemy Range, and [Mapping] revealed her location.

Apparently, Neme was enclosed in a room of the Cathedral, the home of Cesina, in the heart of Bithrill.

Given the signs, I was relieved that there was no life-threatening situation.

However, Neme is a church called the Salengre Cathedral, which also serves as the supreme decision-making body in the country.

In our country, the King reigns, but in this Aifan, the Cesina pope reigns.

The point is, it's like being captured by a royal palace in King's Landing.

There's no way a single adventurer could hack into it, let alone recapture someone in captivity.

So I decided to follow Lease's advice honestly.

Ask for help from Swiss Myran, the most powerful bandit in Aifan.

If Cardinal Huge's kidnapping of Neme was a national affair, what we are trying to recover Neme may in itself be seen as a rebellion against a country called Aifan.

In the worst case scenario, you'll be a hunter in this country.

I find it difficult to attach the cooperation of Swiss Mylan, a resident of this country, but it is more likely that we will fail if we alone take back Neme, who knows little about Bithrill.

Then it seemed better to follow the advice of a trusted mentor and bet on the possibility of winning cooperation from Swiss Mylan.

Nevertheless, we have no information as to where the bandits are.

Major cities should have their own alliances for people in their area to register for combat roles (battle styles).

There was a bandit guild in Bithrill as well, so I decided to get there quickly.

It is somewhere delicate to go alone, but even if you go in the big zone, the evil stands out.I've decided to go with Erin here.

I'm so sorry ~

Things don't get better even when you wait outside, so I'll go inside right away.

"Are you registered? Or is it a request?"

The receptionist who was at the counter reacted when he noticed that we were unfamiliar.

I was worried about how to cut it out, and Erin took a big breath and said.

"Is there a bandit named Swiss Mylan here?There are thieves who stand up, so I'm going to ask for a favor. "

I think this kind of place is honestly reliable.It was also a moment when I envied Erin's fearless personality.

"Is this Swiss Mylan....."

Face the receptionist as if he were in trouble.

Is there a problem?Erin and I were wondering when the man sitting on the lobby sofa walked in with a drink in one hand.

"I can't believe you're coming to the Bandit Guild to visit Swiss Mylan."

"What, you're talking to me all of a sudden and calling people superfluous?Even though you're drunk, isn't that a little rude? "

I didn't expect Erin to be rude to someone like the head of a rude speech...

The man said while scratching his short hair when I was looking at him.

"Oh, that was rude.I'm sorry, I just thought she didn't know anything and she just said it. "

"Do you know about Swiss Mylan?"

"I don't know. I don't know how to answer that, but...."

That said, the man leans against the reception counter.

"Somehow, a bandit named Swiss Mylan is wrapped in mysteries.Very few people in this city know who they are.Although it is real and there is only information that it seems to be in this city, most of the more specific things are covered in secrets. "

I think it's like I heard it somewhere.Speaking of which, the notorious decapitation as the most powerful killer was treated like an urban legend.

I know who the decapitator is, and I hear he's hiding his identity from his own mouth to prevent retaliation, but is Swiss Myran for the same reason?

In a combat position called banditry (battle style), undercover requests may also be accepted, so it is possible that the identity is hidden.

Wherever similar stories come up in every country, even if the country is different, the creature of man may not change much.

"The point is, you don't know anything."

"Well, it's a tough assessment, but it's not true."

The man put the bottle of alcohol on the counter and smiled with his nose.

"If a couple of strange young people came to ask for a favor from someone like that, it's only natural to doubt the extra, right?So don't be so angry. "

"I'm not angry. This is normal mode."

"Oh, you're such a strong lady."

"As far as I'm concerned, I can always be angry."

Erin turns a challenging gaze and the man bangs and shows his willingness to surrender.

Good. If a man buys a fight and makes a scene, it's a long way off to get his nerves back.

If I could, I wanted Erin to be gentle.

The man also opened his mouth to dispel the harsh atmosphere.

"As an apology, I'll give you one more piece of information I know about Swiss Mylan."

"What is it?"

"He would never pick a client for a reward.There's an episode where a nobleman made hundreds of millions of dollars and didn't shake his neck vertically. "

"Does that mean you have your own criteria for accepting requests?"

"Well, why not?I don't know much about it either. "

The drunk man answers my question.

Is it luck or misfortune?No matter how cutting-edge a dungeon strategy we are, it is a party that has been short of money for thousands of years.

I can't find a force sword to replace the sparkle because I don't have the money.

I can't shake a sleeve without helping my people.

In that sense, it turns out that Swiss Myran is not the money keeper, and there may still be hope.

"So, what do you want with that Swiss Myran?"

"That's..."

It seemed dangerous to reveal your intentions to a stranger bandit here.

We don't know this man's name or anything.All I know is that you've been drinking in the Bandit Guild since midday and getting involved with visitors.

If we talk about our attempt to recapture Neme, we may sell the information to the church.

Even if it's not, my mouth seems to be light to look at.There is no guarantee that the rumors of the tavern will go round and out of Cardinal Hooge's ears.

You perceived our vigilance, and the man spread his hands with a shy look on his face.

"Hey, wait, don't freak out.I'm still saying this with good intentions. "

"Good intentions?"

"Yes, even if I look like this, I'm a bandit on one end.I accept requests at any time.What are we gonna sell? You don't have any money, do you?If it's cheap now, I can accept your request. "

"Cheap, doesn't that mean nobody's going to ask you for anything?"

Erin sighed as if she had lost interest.

"It's a waste of time talking to a drunk like this.I'm not even telling the truth.Even if we gather information, let's ask other bandits. "

"Come on, miss. You're being kind, but that rating is spicy."

"Unfortunately, we're looking for a first-class bandit.If you want a favor, please contact someone else.Come on, let's go. "

Then he grabbed my sleeve and turned his back toward the entrance of the guild.

On the other hand, I stopped to wonder if I should follow Erin.

"What's going on?"

Ignoring Erin's eyebrows, I decided to ask a man a question.

"Can I have one?"

"Oh, what is it, Grandma?"

"Why do you think we don't have money?"

Huh?

A man opens his eyes all the time when he doesn't understand the meaning of the question.

I decided to organize my thoughts and talk.

"No, how did you look at our gear and think you were a golden adventurer?Her wand looks luxurious anyway, and even if I'm not familiar with the magician's gear, the same thief would know I'm carrying a dagger that's never cheap. "

"Isn't that just a drunken look?"

Erin's guess is correct.It's possible that I'm completely overwhelmed.

"It may or may not be.But I think this guy probably figured out that we don't have any money to pay for his mouth or his face before our gear. Somehow. "

"So, what happened to it?"

"I don't know, but I'm not as drunk as I look."

"Ooh...."

The man looks at me as if he were impressed.In the meantime, I decided to make a decision.

"Would you do us a favor, please?"

"Are you crazy?"

I hear a bewildered voice coming from behind me.

I think this is a bet, too.I can't believe you entrusted the fate of your people to this suspicious bandit.

But it's not like I'm a complete amateur.There is also a good reason.

"Maybe this guy is the best bandit in this guild.That's what my Enemies say. "

"That's the way it is."

Erin was convinced to tell me why.

Me and Erin aren't short friends either.It seems to have gained a little credibility.

Looks like an interesting visitor.

The man raised the corner of his mouth and plugged a bottle of alcohol.

She turned her back and said that she would leave the liquor in the item bag that she had hidden in her pocket.

"You can't talk with your belly broken here, can you? Let's move."
