81 Fighting Wyburn... gathering information.
The next morning, the four of them, who had taken off the inn, left for a certain village. Of course, the destination is the village where Wyburn is scheduled to show up tomorrow. There is no boarding carriage, so it takes half a day on foot and the arrival is after noon.
Until now, four of the 'Red Vows' have often used their client's carriage or boarding carriage to travel, but the truth is, it is in the luxury category that hunters use boarding carriages. Unless there are any circumstances, such as a lot of luggage or an injured person, it is usually on foot.
While walking, the four of them were talking about a crusade request.
"After all, the lord is normal..."
"Yes, the amount of the reward is reasonable, and after several groups of parties were wiped out and no one to take the request, he told himself to turn the request over to Wang Du... If you were involved, you wouldn't actively do that."
"Oh. And if you're up to something, you'll try to see us. It's important to know who they are in order to make a plan. It's dangerous to just guess, but so far, there's nothing unnatural about it."
Affirming Lena's words, Pauline and Mavis. Miles is oblivious to people's thoughts and actions being involved, so he just listens.
"So the line is thick that you put out soldiers and damaged them?
"Right."
"That's right...... With unilateral damage, we can't even get rid of the crusade, and we can't tolerate any more damage, or...
If you ask the Hunter Guild, the only loss is the reward, which also makes you look like a lord by saying 'I gave you money, let you crusade'. It's a reward for success, so no matter how many times you fail, your nostalgia won't hurt any more. "
Leaving the miles behind, the story of the three of us continues.
"In the end, the question is, 'If it's normal, it should be crusaded so much, why hasn't it been crusaded yet'? Wyburn is certainly a nasty opponent for a normal party, but we all know that's about it, and you took it because you have a good chance of winning, right? The leaderships, not to mention how much interpersonal combat they specialize in and how little experience their demonic opponents have, are professionals in combat, and would have prepared and planned in advance and attached advisor veteran hunters and such, naturally. That means…"
"Yes, yes, yes! The number of Wyburns was high or very strong!
I'm finally talking about what I can tell, so I'm just gonna break in here.
"Well, that's the thing..."
I was interrupted in a delicious place, but Lena flushed me lightly, guessing how Miles would have liked to join the conversation when it finally came to a story that I could understand. That was not the leader...... The leader is Mavis. Sometimes I forget.
"Anyway, on the assumption that the enemy is strong, I'll go with caution. It was about miles, and, uh, yeah," Take care of your life. "
Three people nodding at Lena's words.
"... but are you okay? Not that I don't believe in everyone's magic arm, but I can't be a fighter until I have Wyburn pulled off the ground..."
"It's okay! He said we could fix it!
It was Mavis who felt somewhat anxious about the mileage he would contract with......
By the time we got to the desired village, it was well past noon. Not only about the crusade request, but it took me longer than I thought if I walked slowly with all sorts of stupid stories.
The four of them are going to go to bed early tonight in preparation for tomorrow, so they've already decided to keep gathering information like this. Afterwards, I plan to eat lunch and dinner and get some sleep.
The four of them took the inn for now. Since there is only one inn in the village, there is no choice.
Tell the innkeeper he doesn't need dinner, and look for a dining room or a liquor store. The four of them left the inn once.
In such a rural village, where there is not even a liaison office on the part of the branch of the guild, the collection of information is determined by the liquor store or the village chief's house and the market. But this time it's not a request from the village, and I don't think the village chief has any special information. It's also troublesome to get extra mouths and favors done, so it was a pass to go to the village chief for now.
"... here."
I haven't seen anything like a dining room after walking around for a while, and I asked the villagers who wanted to go down the street, there's just one drinker in this village who also serves meals, barely even signs... Well, in a small village where only about a familiar pedestrian stops in addition to the villagers, maybe there's no need for a sign.
When four people were in the store, there were more than a dozen villagers in the store.
"" "" Eh... ""
I didn't expect to have a large number of guests at this hour, the miles who gave a shout of surprise, but what surprised me was the same for the villagers.
"... Huh? Hunter..., right, ladies..."
"Yeah, it's Red Vow, the hunter of the King's capital, who was asked to crusade Wyburn."
In response to Mavis, the villagers bothered.
"Yes, no, I appreciate you taking the request, but hey, the..."
One of the villagers spoke in a slightly troubled tone and caged his mouth.
That wasn't impossible either. The village is the closest to the territorial capital of Wyburn's emergence zone. In other words, the majority of the parties requested to crusade so far would have intercepted in this village, and possibly the leadership would have also based this village.
This meant that the villagers also knew all the consequences.
If you find out that the next crusade party that shows up there is a pair of little girls, you have no choice but to be discouraged or afraid. So it's nothing. The Miles don't feel bad.
"Don't worry about it. I know some circumstances, and we are a party of three magicians who can use powerful attack magic, and one swordsman enough to defeat the Knights Commander. I will definitely let you knock off Wyburn.
And if you give me a lot of information, I can assure you of that!
The villagers, who heard Pauline's explanation, raised their voice of joy and provided information one after the other.
While the sun was still high, large numbers had gathered in the drinkers not for food and drink, but for discussions about Wyburn, which would probably fly in again tomorrow. If you say so, there was only a splash of water and a cup of wood on everyone's table.
And according to the villagers' explanations, after all, several previously requested parties, and a dozen soldiers of the leadership, each tried to crusade Wyburn, and they were all devastated.
However, although Wyburn carries out a harsh counterattack on the opponent who attacks him, he does not do any particular harm to those who do not, and he seems to fly away when he grabs the cows, horses, sheep, etc. he decides to prey on the day with his legs, and there are no casualties among the villagers. As a result, the villagers don't feel so sad, but they don't make a living if they take away the livestock on a regular basis. It was a dead and alive issue in the village.
So they were discussing it tomorrow with the first proposal, "Put the oldest and leanest cow in a prominent spot and limit the damage", and the second proposal, "Protect all livestock and drive back Wyburn".
However, the first proposal does not constitute a fundamental solution, with fewer and fewer livestock and ultimately bound to the survival of the village. A second proposal, if you do poorly, Wyburn's prey switches from livestock to humans. Either way, the future of the village remains bleak.
"... Huh? Cows and horses? Is Wyburn that big?
miles to give you a startling voice.
I can't help it. Birds are lightening their bodies to the extreme in order to fly. There is no excess lifting force that allows you to grab and fly heavy objects that exceed your very own weight. Even if it's not a bird, how many giants can it be, such as grabbing one cow round and flying...
"What are you talking about? You were taught in training school, the standard size of demons..."
Miles objected to Lena, who said so as if she were frightened.
"No, I remember that, but it's a different kind or something... Anyway, I don't think you can carry a cow or horse that size! Birds, too big a prey..."
"Birds can't use magic."
"... Huh?
"Because birds can't use magic, can they?
"... magic?
"Dragon species are flying by magic. Otherwise, if you're still a Wyburn with big wings, there's no way an ancient dragon or anything, with such a body, can just fly with wings, right? Plus, dragon braces, you're magically determined. What the hell did you think that was?
Miles answered weakly to Lena's penetration.
"... I have a flame bag or something in my stomach..."
"" "No!
All three denied it.
In the back, the villagers are also nodding.
If he is the father of a previous life, he is likely to say "no guts" or something. Miles was pretty polluted by his father's father's father gag in his previous life, but fortunately he didn't get a chance to show it off because he didn't have any friends. The advantage of not having friends was just in that respect......
