Visit the trade hall of Landsle, the head of the Horsteal Chamber of Commerce. Though the climate in Toryn is hotter than in other countries, it's pretty cool in this mall.
"This is, Dear Real"
"Landsleigh, is that you? I don't mind if the head of the mall picks you up."
"As busy as you are, when you are young, Master Ritial is grateful for your help."
Landsleigh was one of the merchants I used to mock when I was an adventurer. I can tell the talented from me. I just wanted to sell my gratitude, but the fact that it serves as one of the bases makes me feel the importance of causality.
"Was there anything unusual?
"An inspection by the Toryn army came in a while ago. We had a lot of dealings with Raitis, so it seems to be an investigation into the relationship."
The most suitable organization for us to operate without informing and using the circumstances is the one of nature worship, Laitis. Its influence is far inferior to that of Yugra, but it is very helpful in finding those who do not fit the teachings of Yugra.
A connection between us and Leitis was exposed in a case in Kuama, and Toryn, where Leitis' sanctuary exists, was thoroughly investigated by the Toryn army. But since the Holy Land is only a hub of activity as a religious aspect, no evidence can be found that would lead to us.
"To that extent, there won't be a problem. You're only collaborators who don't know what's going on. I don't mind you being honest with the investigation from Toryn."
"I don't want to bother you, I want to minimize those who share the circumstances. I understand why, but I don't mind if you rely more on me."
"Even if it's enough to get people to cooperate without knowing what's going on. Networks like that are invaluable. Is Solide doing well?
The name of Solid slightly changes the landscape. In our work at Toryn, we are giving Solid his position as head of it. I still don't seem to have a very good relationship with this reaction.
"I am saying that I am doing well...... it is difficult to report on his recent developments, especially since I have not had the activity I said this either"
"I guess. Well, I'll tell you what, you should keep up with everything."
Behind the mall, there is a solide in a room to entertain guests. I can see the air gradually enveloping me with a sweet smell as I head to that room.
"It's not bad to smell incense or a small amount... but even whores don't burn this far."
The sweet smell of darker incense paralyzes my nose when I open the door to the room of purpose. The room is full of incense smoke that is burning, and I find a solide sitting on the back of the chair placed in its center.
"- Realistic? What's the matter with you? It's been a long time since you showed up."
Solide wears big clothes that don't fit her height and looks at me with a vain eye peeking from her long, long hair that she doesn't think has been cut for more than a decade. Various organs would be paralyzed if they were in the smell of this incense for a long time. I even feel like I might not even be able to think.
"Sometimes I want to show you my face."
"Doesn't look like that...... oh, something happened to you?
"I'm always right and above all else. Well, let's start with the history."
Tell Solide how it has been so far. Solide keeps her eyes closed and keeps asking in such a way that she can see that she is falling asleep.
"Real, that means you went out of your way to show up this way from Serende. So that's what the people of Yugra can do, huh?
"I'm still young, but I don't mind you taking me for a doer as much as I do. Nevertheless, it would be enough if you and I worked together."
"I'll do it alone. You just have to give me the minimum information, that's all."
Will it still be so? It doesn't mean that Solide doesn't have any co-ordination, and he's complacent about strength, he just doesn't even like working with people. I can't resist dealing with the understated, but I almost certainly don't join hands with my reciprocal counterparts. Remove a bunch of pre-prepared parchment paper.
"I thought that would be the case. We already have the information you need here."
"Yeah, yeah, I know the real thing. All the time, this guy is like," It's more efficient to cooperate "or" Be companion "or something. What matters is whether you can move comfortably or not. I don't know if I can move something pleasant."
"It's just that I've been entrusted with this protection by Necthar, too. I'm staying at Toryn for a while, and I'm going to intervene if I decide it's out of your control. Be patient there, though."
"I don't trust you, me"
"It's the price I've paid for not being trusted. Still, the only reason I'm free to move is because there are people who appreciate your abilities, which is why I want you to keep it in the corner of your head."
Leave everything on the surface to the solids. I will be thorough on my back and ready for the movement of the people of Yugra's stars. If the solide is to be overthrown, that doesn't matter. All you have to do in the meantime is lightly prepare for me to grab the victory.
"The power, if you have to wield it when you should, will be devalued. But you have to be the one with the power to identify that time. I'm sorry about matching someone else's greed. But the people of Yugra's stars? If that's what Real says he's a pain in the ass... it's not bad to be happy."
Solide shows no interest other than what he was interested in. That's even what Necthal is for. But once you decide to move, your ability to act is not a big deal.
"There is one demand from me, and Landsle is a valuable person who spares no effort to cooperate without knowing the circumstances. Try not to bother him."
"Try your best. Understood, understood."
I can't expect any further effect on this push, but I would still be able to guide this man in any way. Though in the worst case scenario, I would also have to be prepared to let Landsle escape to Serende.

Check the prepared items. They all have rarities that you don't see on the market. "Aoi" did a really good job.
"Is this a good thing?
"Excellent. This would have few competitors, and it would be easy to catch Holsteal's eye"
"That's right. No one likes to collect plants and ore from the demon world."
The product we deal with, it's from the Demon Realm. What is in Kuama, a neighbor to Toryn, is not so rare. But what you get in the Kuama demon world, which is bordering that Kuama, is not so easy to get. They're just militants like adventurers, knights, and priests.
"But compatriots, wouldn't it be too conspicuous if we sold out the demon world's goods? That's what realism seems like..."
"If only 'we' could sell it. All of these products are to have been purchased via Quama as collections by Jestuffs. By now, similar products are beginning to appear on the market in Quama. A somewhat skilled merchant would be jumping right into business opportunities and all."
And in a few moments, Toryn, our neighbor, will also have products from the Wizard Realm. In practice, however, these items are collected by demons who are under the command of "Ethereal". So we have the authority to manipulate the total quantity and price.
"Only Lord Jestaff has the right to develop the Kuama demonic world. It's going to be pretty hard for the rest of us to get out, and Lord Jestaff's funds are going to moisten at the same time."
"Sort of. It will be essential to prepare the junction for the employment of adventurers and the protection of miners, even as we sneak in."
The Kuama demonic world has become a relatively safe area due to the 'Ethereal' 's response to peace with Kuama. But it doesn't change that there are demons, and the demons of the demonic world are poisonous to humans. Preparing a stable supply line can be costly. In contrast, this is a simple plan for the 'Ethereal' to give orders to the demons.
"We are merchants who can purchase products well from Jestuffs who pioneer the Kuama demonic world."
"You're approximate enough to sell it feeling cheaper than the fair price. If you can afford it, Mejs, I'd like to buy something from the demonic world... well, consultation with Pope Eupalò is inevitable, and that's another time."
With the consent of 'gold', even with regard to the Ghane Demonic Realm, we can move freely, but we cannot restrict the movement of Ghane Demonic Realm Demons. You won't be profitable until you find this one, which is quite rare.
"But Dear Mischief, Whatever the ore is, I'm guessing we don't know much about the potency of herbs and stuff yet, do we?
"Oh. Until now, the adventurers have gathered as many objects as the adventurers have gathered. We also need to do some tests and experiments."
"That's going to take a lot of time..."
"To some extent, I asked Nora to look into it at Tayz's beforehand. The rest of you have done your job."
"Hands on?"
"Nora's master, Barastos the Great Sage. They live in a forest near the border between Quama and Toryn. I'm going to go see him now and negotiate."
I have sent a letter for once and I have received a colourful reply but I should still negotiate directly here. Nora takes care of me scattered, and I thank her for that.
"The Great Sage Barastos? I hear you're good at researching fairly magic..."
"Whoever wants to follow you is free to do so. It's just an appraisal of products from the Wizard Realm."
The only things that are starting to go on the market right now are those things that Nora has done her research on beforehand that are simple to understand. But if we find anything else useful, the market will be bigger.
"I'm interested as far as I'm concerned... is it okay for the Demons to show their faces?
"If you're about to be autopsied, you just have to run."
"Autopsy......"
I've heard some talk from Nora about Barastos, but he still has a lot of screws off about the masterpiece. The reply to Nora's occasional update letter also said, 'Send me some demons, I want to use them for a variety of experiments'. If the Demons show their faces, that's what they'll happily try to do.
"When you say that, I'm a demon king. You can do whatever you want with Ekdoyk, okay?
"Right. Which way do I have to escort my fellow countrymen, and let's just say I follow?"
"If it's an escort, there's me and Lord Harkdock, even without Lord Ekdoyk."
'That's right, I'm coming too! I knew it sounded like a wise man! I'd love to see you once or so!
"Not that I don't trust you, but traveling at a distance would be more useful if I were there"
By the way, Hark Dock is currently evacuated to the next room. 'Ethereal' and Hark Dock cannot always be in the same room, so if one of them comes in later, the person who was there first could decide to move to the next room. Harkdock said, "I'm always moving to the other room, okay? 'But' Ethereal 'has made this suggestion. Harkdock was in tears of relief for that care, but I don't care about that.
"If Hark Doc's going, I'll leave a message.... That sounds like a terrible way to say it."
'Don't worry about it. That's how much I care. "
"It's surreal to watch you talk through the door."
If you're squealing about that, Mary a hand up to the naughty feeling.
"Ah, that compatriot. Would you mind if I went with you?
"I don't mind. Even with a slight increase in the number of people, with Ekdoik and Kuto, you won't have trouble moving."
"Thank you!
"... I knew I was too... nothing"
If we move separately from Hark Dock, 'Ethereal' can come with us. I don't know if it would be too inviting, so don't open your mouth. We were to take Ekdoyk, Harkdock, Lachra and Mary to the woods where Barastos lived.
Horses take a lot of time, but with Ekdoik and Kuto, it's an empty journey and the time can be greatly reduced. Ekdoyk will carry Mary and Hark Dock, Kuto will have 'me' and Lakla, and we will arrive in the woods of our destination.
"They use special magic in the forest itself. They can't reach the house where Barastos lives without traveling in the right steps, so we'll be on foot from here. Don't let it slip."
There is fog in the woods, and as soon as we get away from it, we are going to lose sight of the others. There's nothing particularly wrong with Ekdoyk because he's chained to everyone's arms, but if he had come alone, he'd have been lost.
"You seem to be using magic that drives your sense of direction crazy. This is a lot of help."
"Next... that tree"
It is necessary to follow the codes inscribed on the trees in order to proceed through the forest of Barastos. Apparently the ciphers are switched regularly, and they're also changing the way they're decoded on a six-month to yearly basis. The disciples of Barastos teach us how to change the cipher and so on, so that we can proceed without particular problems. But it feels like inviting guests are taught a one-time procedure in a letter they receive in advance.
"Brothers. I thought, if that letter or something is stolen, does that mean the thief or something can break in?
"The letter itself is normal. It's just that they're watching me on this road, and if I were a thief, they'd switch ciphers along the way. I mean, uninvited guests get lost along the way."
"This is scary..."
"But that story sounds true, brother. I've been hanging on one of those detective magic things a couple of times since before, huh?
Somehow, security is tight, but accidents happen from time to time. That's right. No wonder I misread the Hark Dock or some other letter and got shipwrecked.
Going through the woods for two hours, I realize the fog around me is quite clear when I think it's time to take a break. And I saw a mansion behind the woods.
"Looks like you got it."
"Finally, you can meet the Great Sage, Master Promise!
"... just before that... is this some kind of prank?
"Prank? What happened?
The lackluster in front of me tilts his neck. Others don't seem to notice, but this is obviously weird.
"Because Hark Doc doesn't feel hostile, I think it's probably Barastos' offer. Who are you? I want my real lacra back."
The Ecdoics react to the words' me 'and surround the person who looked like Lachra. The person looked particularly hasty and smiled with a delightful face.
"Duh, what do you mean, brother!? Lachra is not Lachra..."
"You don't realize Hark Doc means he's also beautifully imitating magic and all that. That's amazing."
"- How did you know?
"We are totally together in shape, but we walk and breathe differently. And the distance to 'me' is even more uneven than usual. It's like that, even if it's prescribed."
"... a bit of a dong-pulling judgment material, that. I can't help it if I find out that I've been successfully replaced with a chain."
When the person who looked like Lachra rings his finger, the figure switches in an instant. What a woman dressed like a wizard of a resident of the fantasy world. I just feel like my clothes are small.
"... Could you be Barastos?
"Yes, Barastos the Great Sage. My adorable apprentice is looking after you, Mr. Starling People of Yugra?
