Legend

Ray and Seth, who broke up with the alchemists, were once again walking in the mountains in search of the bandits.

Even if you walk in the dark clouds in the mountains, even if you come into contact with ordinary bandits, it's basically impossible to think about encountering the cause of the bandits disappearing.

Still, it is the bandits in the mountains who are likely to lead us.

(Besides, I don't know who is disappearing the bandits, but if they are doing such a imitation and bringing in additional bandits, the killer is troubled if the bandits aren't there.What happens if I defeat the bandits one after the other?)

I think it's dangerous to target Ray, and it's possible that he won't show his hand.

But it wasn't strange to think that eliminating Ray would be quick.

That's what Ray's after.

... or maybe that's the assassin who broke into the inn.

"Gruuuuuu"

As she walked through the mountain, Seth unexpectedly rang her throat.

Ray, who knows what that means, walks down the mountain with Seto....

Oh, it's coming off.

"Nh... what the hell!

Unfortunately, Ray murmured at the sight spreading in front of her.

Because there was a digging cabin in front of Ray that looked like it was handmade, and Ray suddenly appeared in front of it... precisely because there was only one bandit who was surprised to see Ray on Seth's back.

In the sense of robbing bandits of their accumulated treasure, it would be worth more than that.

But Ray's aim is to hunt down bandits… reduce the number of bandits.

Killing a bandit here and stealing the treasure from the shack won't accomplish Ray's goal.

It would have been easier to fight bandits if you were just hunting them normally.

"You're here to keep an eye out.Surrender, or I won't see your eyes hurt. "

"Nh... fu, this is bullshit!

It would not have been interesting to have been suddenly treated as inferior and told that it was not worth defeating.

In fact, this man was better off standing up than any bandit.

However, that is only if there is no sprain on the right foot.

What happens when you encounter other bandits in the mountains?

If you've known each other for a long time and you're friendly, it's no wonder you're fighting bandits together.

Normally speaking, bandits don't mean anything to each other, but hostility has only disadvantages, but basically, bandits are all rubbish.

If there is someone in front of you who thinks you are stronger than yourself, you can't imitate being too stubborn to intercede.

As a result, bandits fought each other... and the man who stayed here suffered injuries such as spraining his right leg.

There were a few others who were injured, but it was nothing but minor cuts and bruises on their arms.

Compared to such injuries, foot sprains are obviously a handicap for bandits who walk through the mountains.

That's why this man stayed here as an answering machine.

... because Ray and Seth appeared in that place, I can only say that it was bad luck for a man.

Still, Ray may not be scared or running away from Seto anyway.

(No, it's not.You're simply too upset to know how to react to Seto before he does?

The thief in front of you is more excited to defeat him, so that he is judged to be an absolutely unwinnable opponent, and he can listen to the information very carefully.

Ray, who decided so, stepped off Seth's back and approached the bandit with the axe.

"Stop! Don't come this way!If you come this way, I'll beat you to death with this axe!

"Try it. If you can do that, you might be able to get out of here."

Ray didn't think a man with an injured foot could handle himself or Seto.

No, because of the bandit's skill, even if it's perfect, there's nothing you can do about it.

It is true that men were clever among bandits, but it is only a story among bandits.

Men also grasp the overwhelming strength of being small in front of them by saying that the axe they have in their hands is the last thing they can rely on, whether they understand it in their current words or with their hunted expression.

"If you surrender, I won't kill you.I'll just catch him and stick him in the guard. "

Crime slaves are the only way to end it, but it would be at least salvation to think that most of the bandits who lost to adventurers would still be killed.

Nevertheless, what awaits after that is whether you will work in the mine or be driven into battle... Otherwise, you should think that you will not be able to live an easy life even though it is not very easy.

Even though the man understands that he can't beat Ray because he knows it, he figured out a way to get away from the scene.

If you can't win a fight, you can run.

... but if I can get out safely with my leg injured, I'll tell you another story.

"What do we do? It is not profitable for me to spend too much time.You can either fight here and pass out, or surrender.... ah, it would be helpful if you could stop suicide. "

That's what Ray said, but it didn't seem like he really wanted a man to die... or anything like that.

That's the kind of attitude you don't want me to die if I can.

But that attitude was enough to convince him that Ray really felt that way about a man.

"... surrender"

No matter what happens, I can't escape this place.

The man who makes that decision eventually says so.

If he were a man, he would have thought that no matter how he moved, there was nothing he could do from this situation.

In fact, the decision is not wrong.

There was no chance that a man could get out of here.

... no, it's not really nothing.

Perhaps a Rank S monster will suddenly appear here, a meteorite may descend from the sky, or lightning may strike Ray.

None of them are terribly unlikely.

It's unlikely, but there's still a chance.

After all, things like connecting with other worlds are happening with monsters underneath Trent's forest.

Nevertheless... miracles don't happen so often.

That's why it's called a miracle because it doesn't happen.

In that sense, the possibility that the bandit man will escape the scene by miracle... is unlikely.

"Surrender."

In the end, a man who realized that there was nothing he could do about it threw an axe he was holding like his guardian god on the ground.

If you disarmed and surrendered, you would have shown that attitude.

I see. Then I'll tie my hands so that I don't do strange things first. "

Tie the bandit's wrist behind him with a rope removed from the mistering.

Some bandits are good at breaking loose.

Like removing the joint, making a gap in the rope and pulling your hand out of it.

Others pulled their hands off the rope with force, and some cut the rope with force, regardless of whether the hand flesh was shredded.

That's why we need to be careful not to let loose the rope when tying up bandits.

Ray then asks the bandits with their arms tied, what they should hear first.

"So, when are your bandits coming back?

"... he said he was going a little further, so I can't do it today.I don't know how many days it will be. "

"Far away? Aren't you targeting a guest from Egginis?

This mountain is near Egginis.

Those who enter and exit Egginis, naturally, are the targets... even though the bandits think they can defeat them on their own.

"There's no doubt that we're targeting a guest of Egginis, but we're still on guard when it comes to the side of Egginis.But if you think you're out of our range somewhere away from Egginis, you'll relax. "

I see.

That's right, Ray, but if you don't have to keep an eye on the mountain near Egginis, why don't you just keep an eye on it outside the raid range of bandits around Egginis?

I doubt that.

"Then why are you here all the time?

"Because we always work near Egginis, too.I'll just try this one out. "

In other words, there's nobody here right now to see if it works the way it came up.

Is it really going to work that way for Ray?Perhaps it will work surprisingly well with a columbian egg-like feeling?There are two kinds of feelings.

(Nevertheless, what would you do?)

Ray's plan was to capture the bandits in front of him here and then wipe them out a bit later, when the bandits based here came back.

But that's only today... and I think it'll be back in a few hours.

I can't imagine waiting here for a few days.

In the first place, I was thinking about going back to Gilm tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so it's too late.

If you think so, you can still say that this case is a failure.

That's what Ray thinks... then at least the bandits' treasure is on his way to the hut.

"Seth, look at him.If you escape, you can handle it properly. "

Gru!

In Ray's words, Seth understood!And my throat rang.

Although Ray understands Seto's intentions, it's only Ray.

If you were a bandit who was watching Seth bark his throat right next to himself, what exactly did Seth do this kind of imitation... I don't understand anything about it around here.

That's why, in some cases, you even think that you will be eaten.

"Oh, hey. I'm sure it's all right!

A bandit man screams at Ray in a hurry, but Ray laughs and opens his mouth.

"If you don't do a strange imitation, there's no problem.... if I don't do a strange imitation. "

It meant that if I did a strange imitation, Seth would attack me with his nails and a stick.

As for Ray, I hadn't thought about it that far, but it seemed like if I were a bandit man, I'd be killed lightly by Seth if I did something strange.

Leaving a silent and fiercely nodding man on the spot, Ray dug up and opened the door of the cabin....

"Is this all you got?

There is hardly anything to call treasure.

That's what the bandits will use, but Ray can't help it if all the spare weapons are axes.

It's not a battle axe or battleaxe, but an axe that's normally used by samurai.

Other than that, dried meat and tree nuts are placed as food, but there are no treasures.

Of course, Ray was also a treasure... such as a genuine gold and silver treasure, a rare metal, such as a mythrill, a magic item... or a golem, considering that it was an azimuth near Egginis.

It's not that, but it's only natural that I still wanted a little more treasure.

Have these people just come here?No, but it looks like it's been a long time since this dug house was built.So... no, rather than the possibility that these guys are old stocks, should we think about using this as a base because we happen to have a digging shed here?

Determine that and look again inside the digging shed to see if there are any suspicious areas, especially on the floor.

It's so close to impossible to create a hidden passage in the wall that it's a digging shed.

But if it's on the floor... if it's under the ground, it's not weird that there's a basement or anything like that.

Even if I look into it like that, there is nothing in particular that seems to be hate.

Rather than searching alone, Ray decided it was better to ask someone he knew about the area… Ray went out of the dug cabin without talking to each other.
