Legend

"Er... that? I wonder how this happened."

Ha, ha.

While exhaling, Ray shakes the Death Size to cut the body of the attacking bandit and knocks down the arrow with a bow from behind with a twilight spear.

On my way to Egginis, I discovered a carriage being chased by bandits and thinkers.

The moment he saw it, Ray immediately signaled Seth to descend toward the ground, thinking as if it were again.

It was already a long way from Gilm, and this area was a place Ray had never been.

That's why there are bandits here.

Also, it is not so unusual for people who have trouble eating, adventurers, or mercenaries to become bandits.

Some of them usually work as mercenaries or adventurers, but if they lose their jobs, they also work as bandits...

Because he was on a horse chasing a carriage, Ray decided that these bandits were… to some extent bandits with combat skills, and ambushed the bandits chasing the carriage from behind.

Originally, a horse running with all its strength is not so easy to catch up with.

But it's different when it comes to seto.

The speed of flying in the sky naturally exceeds the horse, and even the speed of running on the ground exceeds the horse.

However, attacking the bandits was not so difficult, and Ray entered a full-scale battle with the bandits after dealing heavy damage in the ambush.

Nevertheless, even though the opponent has some combat skills, it is only to some extent.

Far away from the Gilm of the Border, its strength is no greater.

As a result, the fight against the bandits was supposed to be called devastation.

Unfortunately for the bandits, not only Ray, but also Seth.

As a Rank A Adventurer, Seth is a Dragon Slayer, Bandit Eater Ray, and a monster equivalent to Rank S.

I was attacked by one of the out-of-standard guys, so it would be the worst thing for the bandits.

"Shit! What the fuck, what the fuck!

With so much irrationality, one of the bandits shook the stick at Ray with a big wave.

However, Ray shakes such an attack lightly in Death size and cuts the stick in the middle.

"Nah...."

I don't suppose you didn't expect a stick with a thick tip to be cut like that in order to increase its impact.

It was a thief shouting surprise, but it was too deadly in front of Ray.

The next moment, Ray's swinging twilight spear struck the bandit in the head.

Yes, it's not slashing or crushing, it's slapping.

He stepped in and hit his head with a lower handle than the tip of the twilight spear.

I didn't do it because Ray was afraid to kill people.

Simply because if we don't find out where these bandits are, the bandits won't be able to get the treasure they've accumulated.

Otherwise, it is more money to capture and sell as slaves than to kill them.

However, the latter is only true if there are cities and towns nearby.

A village is fine, but there are not many villages with slavers.

If you can't do that, you'll kill him after you get the information.

"Well, then... are you there?"

Check the perimeter, but no one's already standing among the bandits.

Bandits who fired arrows with their bows were also blown away by Seth's blows.

"Seth, do you know if there are still conscious bandits nearby?

"Gruuuuuuuu... gruuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Ask Ray and tell him that Seto will be fine.

Ray nodded at Seto's appearance and turned his gaze toward the carriage's escape.

Of course, the carriage that was attacked by the bandits is nowhere to be found.

Running at full speed, not to mention that Ray and the bandits attacked from behind, they didn't seem to be aware of Ray's presence at all, and they thought they stopped targeting them.

Ray doesn't care about that either.

If the people in the carriage noticed Ray's presence, they would be thanked for saving us from the bandits... but it could be something like asking you to come home to thank them for something.

As I was on my way to Egginis, I wanted to refrain from taking the time to thank you here.

"Well, selling to slavers is... difficult. It's just that the living people would have understood everything by themselves, and they would have been thieves, and they wouldn't mind dying."

As I murmured, I gathered the bodies in one place and burned them magically.

Store your weapon in Misty and count the remaining bandits.

There are three of them.

Whether the bandits that Seto defeated failed or were simply too fragile as originally anticipated, they are all dead.

"Seth needs to learn a little bit more about how to handle it."

"Gruuuu....."

I'm sorry, Seth. I'm gonna scream.

Ray strokes in such a comforting way.

Such an exchange would cause the unexpectedly fainting bandit... to moan from the bandit's mouth, which had the club earlier.

"Uhh... ugh..."

"Wake up. Though it was a hassle, it was pretty quick. I thought it would take me a little longer to wake up."

Ray murmured as he saw a bandit moaning, but there was no particular emotion in the words.

I was surprised to wake up as soon as I took my shot, and I was delighted to find out about the bandits and get the treasure.

"I'm... in pain! Hyeee!"

The man who woke up didn't seem to know why he was lying in such a place at first, but when he moved his body, he felt agony as a result of being beaten by Ray.

And I realized why I was in this place because of the intense pain... and what was going on, and I saw Ray and I screamed.

"Well, if you've woken up in this situation, you're lucky. Can you tell me where your thistle is...?"

"So... if you say so, will you help me?

Well, you can think about it.

Ray made a promise only to think about whether or not he would help, and he didn't say he would.

Still, the bandits rely on Ray's words.

If I hadn't told you where there was an azimuth here, it was because I knew that I would be killed without question.

"Okay, okay. I will guide you to Ajito. So... please, help me."

"Let me show you first. Then we'll talk.... before that, I'd better tie the rest of you up and stop moving."

Three of the bandits survived with a man trembling in fear in front of Ray.

It is only natural that you should guide me to Ajito, but one person is enough.

Not to mention that the other two are still fainted and have no time to wait for them to wake up.

Nevertheless, if you leave the two people who are stunned, they'll just run away.

That being the case, it would be natural to tie it up here.

(It is impossible to escape if you are tied up and unable to move. But then there's the possibility that monsters, wildlife, or other bandits will attack me... well, that's when.)

Had it not been for the bandits, Ray would have taken more into account.

But after all, it's a bandit.

I don't care if I die, and if I live in a nearby city or city, I can imitate selling it to a slave trader who handed it over to the guards there, but I only wish I could.

Ray quickly tied the two bandits to a nearby tree, keeping a watch on the scared bandits.

As Ray, I meant to tie him up tightly so he couldn't get out, but as a bandit, maybe I could do something like get out of the rope.

Nevertheless, Ray opens his mouth to the frightened bandits, judging when it does.

"All right, show them to Ajito.... no, just to be clear, your bandits were all here?

"Ah, ah. That's right. It hasn't been that long since I got here, so I needed to make some money now."

Whoa, whoa.

Ray has a disgusting look on the bandit's words.

I just came here because I decided that I couldn't expect the treasure in Asia.

Of course, it is conceivable that when you come to another place, you will bring the treasure that was in the previous place.

But there's still a limit to the amount of luggage I can bring.

I would naturally take the kind of treasure, such as expensive jewelry, but there is also a sufficient possibility that it will be left in the previous azimuth for things that are judged to be of little value.

In addition, even the types of weapons used by bandits will naturally leave less used weapons behind.

Ray, whether it's such a weapon, a spear, a disposable weapon for throwing, or any other weapon, throwing it in during a fire whirlwind increases the vicious power of the fire whirlwind even more.

Normally speaking, it's garbage, but it's quite a disposable weapon for Ray.

"So, why did you move here?

That's not what I heard because I had an idea.

Talk and move, and the bandits will get some relief. In that way, I think the time to travel to Asia will be a little shorter, and I wonder if I can get information about other bandits as well.

"Well, the place we were in before was quite a real place, but the bandits around the Egginis have been steadily decreasing lately and your head is in danger...."

Hee.

No way, Ray, who didn't think to ask Egginis' name here, looks a little bit intrigued by the bandits.

"Wait a minute. Tell me more about it."

"... eh?

As a bandit, you didn't think Ray would be interested in his own words.

Face Ray with a surprise expression.

I thought you might be making fun of yourself, but Ray has a serious color in his eyes.

As far as I can see, it was clear that Ray was serious about asking about Egginis.

Bandits don't know why they care about Egginis.

I don't know, but I can never imitate Ray's mood in my current situation, and what happens to me in the future depends on Ray's mood.

With that in mind, I had no choice but not to talk about Egginis here.

"Well, that's right. As I mentioned earlier, we were originally bandits around Egginis."

The tone of the bandits changes sharply to keep Ray in a mood.

Ray didn't really like that kind of wisdom, but if he was going to be honest about the information, Ray prompts the conversation with his gaze without saying anything.

"It seems like you know it, so I'll explain it briefly, but Egginis is a slightly special city, and because of its specificity, it is treated as an autonomous city just like a labyrinth city. It's a city, to be exact, but it's close to a city on a scale."

Ray has never heard of an autonomous city.

Nevertheless, given the information we've gathered so far, Egginis is, as bandits say, a truly special city.

Given its peculiarities, it is not strange that it is classified as a city like Gilm, but it is essentially the same as a city.

So convinced Ray, the bandits keep saying that it feels good.

"It's a place like this, and it's a place where you sell expensive golem, so naturally, there are a lot of rich people coming."

I guess so.

I'm here to buy a golem, so naturally I need to travel with that much money.

If you're a bandit, you can say no more prey.

Nevertheless, naturally those with money hire escorts.

We need to imitate whether we have enough strength to defeat the guard or whether we are prepared to push through the sacrifice in numbers.

"I used to bandit like that... but from one point on, many bandits began to disappear one after another. My head decided to leave Egginis because it was dangerous… I started working here a while ago."

Yes, the bandits told him.
