Legend

Egginis... to be precise, the bandits that were based around it disappeared one after the other.

It was a thief who told me so, but it wasn't particularly surprising to Ray.

It's no wonder some people are hunting bandits with hobbies and benefits like themselves, and even if they're not...

"The adventurers that Egginis hired dealt with them by destroying each bandit?

If you look at Egginis, the bandits who live around them are harmless and unprofitable.

A customer who would have dropped the money on Egginis was raided and taken from him.

The rumor that there are many bandits spreads naturally, and those who want to go to Egginis will step on their feet.

That's why it was only natural for those in Egginis to want to exterminate the bandits as much as possible.

"That's right. In fact, I think that's the most likely. Besides, some of them are attacking to check the performance of the Golem... and some of them are crazy."

"That's it again...."

I don't know if Golem is performing as originally planned until I've checked.

Alternatively, it is not known whether the performance will be as planned in practice or not, even if the performance is demonstrated in a predetermined test.

In that sense, rather than complaining about killing a bandit, I'd rather be thanked.... on the contrary, if you register with the guild as an adventurer, you'll even get paid.

In that sense, bandits aren't a bad match for Golem's combat test.

Of course, fighting bandits is dangerous.

Bandits may win the Golem, or they may ignore the Golem and target humans.

If you hire escort adventurers, you may be able to deal with them at such times, but naturally you will show the escort adventurers the performance of the Golem.

"It's just weird. Adventurers, golems, targeted bandits are destroyed, but it's not strange for one or two of them to escape, and it's not strange for information to spread from there. But no one escaped."

"Isn't that just being ravaged without even being able to escape?

In fact, when Ray does bandit hunting, he doesn't let the bandits escape.

Besides... Ray looks at Seto.

Seth's presence makes it quite difficult for bandits to escape.

That is not impossible, but it is certainly a similar difficulty.

"That's right. In fact, that's what everyone thought at first. But... if there are more than five thieves crushed by... If those bandits were attacked, one or two of them would have escaped."

Ray can't deny the words because he knows the strength of the bandits.

Nevertheless, if the bandits were attacked by powerful people who stood out as individuals like Ray, they could literally be wiped out.

In addition to being an autonomous city - to be precise, a city - where Golem is thriving, Egginis will naturally have the strength it deserves.

Not to mention, when a lot of rich people come, they buy golem and drop the money.

It's not surprising for Ray to use the money to gather a skilled adventurer.

I don't even think it's strange that there are anonymous adventurers.

"Well, I know why I ran away. I don't know how good you guys were around Egginis, but I'm glad you ran away.... as a result, you ran into me, so you might actually be unlucky."

Ray's perception of the battle was not weak, but not strong, just ordinary bandits.

That's Gilm's adventurers... not the ones that have grown in construction, but the adventurers of the past, but the strength of those who can defeat them is not hard.

It was only that strong, so if I had stayed in Egginis, I would have definitely destroyed it all.

With that in mind, it was certainly fortunate that even the three of us were able to survive.

(And....)

Ray sees a bandit in front of him.

Initially, I was going to take you to a city or city where there were slavers, and I was going to take you out to the guards.

If there was no such place nearby, it would have been troublesome to take him away, and he could have killed him.

But now that I've heard what you think is important to me when I'm heading to Egginis, should I stop killing him? And that's what I think.

Normally speaking, letting a bandit escape alive is never to be commended.

However, as far as Ray can see, it is unlikely that this bandit will ever be able to steal again.

That's all, because fear is engraved in your heart by Ray and Seth.

However, this world is basically a weak predator.

The weaker the eater, the stronger the eater.

In that sense, even if the bandits who led Ray back to the bandits, Ray wouldn't feel anything in particular.

The next time I encounter you as a bandit, I'll kill you relentlessly.

(I see. Don't do anything strange. If you send me to Ajito, I'll let you go. There are two people tied to a tree to take them to where the slavers are.)

Luckily for the bandits who led Ray and Seto this far, this is how they got a viable future.

"Heh... this is pretty good."

Ray murmured impressively as he saw the bandits lead him.

I thought there might be a good treasure because I had just come here, but there was quite a treasure unexpectedly.

Let's say Ray is happy with the arithmetic.

It is said that I brought carefully selected golden objects, so it may not be strange to think about it.

"What do you think? Do you like it?

"Ah. I heard about Egginis too... here, take this."

That said, Ray takes a few gems out of a nearby treasure and hands them over to the bandit.

"... why not?

Bandits who receive gems in an incredible way.

If I were a bandit, I would have been judged worthless at the time I brought Ray here, and I didn't think it would be strange to be killed.

I didn't want to die if I could, but I had no choice but to be a bandit.

So Ray's behavior was completely unexpected.

"As I said earlier, I appreciate the information about Egginis right now. It's just... the next time I find you, if you're a bandit again..."

It was Ray who didn't say anything else, but the fact that he didn't say anything told everything.

If you are only famous for being a bandit eater and then you encounter it as a bandit, you will definitely die, but you will understand that.

"I see! I'll try my best to be an adventurer!

Why adventurer? Ray had some doubts, but there wouldn't be any kind of skill more than banditry.

If you are from a farm, you may be able to do it as a farmer, but even if you are a farmer, you will need land.

In that sense, an adventurer who can work with weapons and equipment is never a bad story.

Normally, however, the weapon and armor are also quite expensive.

However, in the case of bandits, there are weapons and armor currently in use, so there is no need to worry about them.

Ray's jewelry is also quite luxurious, so you can sell it and buy new weapons and armor.

It's not like I can buy land.

Anyway, the bandits leave quickly, even if Ray doesn't change his mood and get killed.

Ray drops it off and stores all the treasures in the mistletoe.

"Well, you kept me waiting, Seth."

"Gru"

I'm not waiting, Seth. I'll show you how it's okay.

Together with that setup, the bandit hunt was quite a harvest, and some of the bandits were tied up.....

"Gruuuuuuu? Gruuuuuuuuuu"

And as she went down the mountain, Seth unexpectedly rang out.

It's not as jammed as vigilance, but it still sounds like there's something ahead.

It was Ray who was worried about such a noise, but I understood the reason as I went further down the mountain.

There were dozens of people around the tree Ray tied the bandits to.

At first I thought you were one of the bandits, but if you look closely, there are several carriages parked a little further away.

And in one of the carriages, Ray knew him.

That's the carriage Ray was attacked by the bandits when they came here.

A carriage is usually made in a similar fashion if it is not expensive.

Still, Ray decided it was the carriage because there were a lot of scratches on the back of the carriage, like arrow wounds, slashing wounds, and places that were destroyed by axes.

(Perhaps there is a nearby village, city, city... that escaped from here. Anyway, he ran into it and hired an adventurer to turn back.)

According to the story Ray heard from the bandits earlier, it was only recently that he set up an aside here.

In other words, there has been a sudden increase in bandit raids here recently, and if we were to try to make people who live nearby, we would have wanted to defeat the bandits and wake up as soon as possible.

And when you defeat a bandit, the treasure will be yours.

However, Ray already had the bandit's treasure.

(Nevertheless, I don't know what to do in this situation.... do you want to leave without going out in front of them? That's the easiest part... but that's the problem, right?)

Ray looks at Seto.

Those who follow the Griffon set will only be as much as Ray among the adventurers.

Or maybe... really maybe, but I can't deny that there are other adventurers in the world who are subordinating Griffons.

Still, in the sense that Griffon is a subordinate, it is also a pseudonym, and Ray is definitely the most famous.

And when he fought the bandits, Ray fought with Seth.

Of course, the bandits will be watching Seth, and it is no surprise that the Griffon was attacked by an adventurer who subjugated him by talking about what kind of opponent they would have been if interrogated.

In addition, Ray was completely unconscious because he only cared about Seto, but if he used a big sickle like Death Size with one hand and fought with a dusk spear in his left hand, he would soon know who he was at that point.

(Now, what do we do?)

Even if Ray decides it was Ray who attacked these bandits, it's not particularly inconvenient.

Most of the bandits are dead, and only two are alive, except for one who escaped earlier.

Neither of them seems to have any particularly important information.

Maybe we should just leave.

The advantages of showing up here are like putting those two into the guards and selling them as criminal slaves to slavers, but the money may be worth it.

At least the treasure we got from the bandits is overwhelmingly more valuable.

If the adventurers in front of the bandits tied to the trees were aiming for the treasure in Asia, it would definitely be troublesome.

In that case, I decided that it would be better to give up the end money - just for Ray, and normally the appropriate amount - and leave.

"All right, Seth. I won't let you face them like this, and I'll leave you alone. If you put your face there, it's likely to be troublesome."

Ray can take over as long as he claims ownership of a bandit tied to a tree.

However, it would be troublesome if you were to be asked to share the treasure that was in Asia.

Or even if that doesn't happen, it can take time for them to ask about the situation.

Before that happened, Ray left the scene.
