Legend

Regarding the assassin, the security guards moved quickly, so it wasn't particularly disturbing.

The number of people who saw the lord of the carriage pushing toward Ray as an assassin was small in the first place, but the fact that the guards moved quickly would be significant in this case.

Nevertheless, that's why Ray wasn't supposed to be released as it is, and the guards told me what happened.

However, Ray has just returned to Exinis.

That's why Ray was attacked by an assassin not long after he entered Egginis, so Ray will be treated as a pure victim.

Alternatively, if Ray was an ordinary person, the guards might need to deal with a lot, but Ray is a Rank A Adventurer.

Even if something happened, it was judged that I could handle it myself.

To put it bluntly, it's a form of self-responsibility.

Nevertheless, Ray is not dissatisfied with such a guard.

As for Ray, there was no point in taking the time to investigate or consult on future escorts, so I was grateful.

(I thought it might be related to the disappearance of the bandits as an idea of being targeted... I don't know.)

Ray has previously heard rumors that the bandits' disappearance may be linked to Dolan's new Golem.

In an autonomous city where the Golem industry is thriving, Dolan Workshop, which currently has the top Golem manufacturing technology, has great influence as a matter of course.

If this is normally ruled by the nobles, I can still expect it... but thinking about it, Ray still shakes his neck.

(No, it's impossible.Even the nobles benefit their city… If more money comes into them, say nothing, even if the Dolan Workshop uses people as Golem ingredients.Not to mention the bandits.)

Ning Ro, if it means killing the bandits around the city, they'll even appreciate it.

Even if the Dolan Workshop is replenishing the Bandit for the extermination.

"Hey, hey, that's... that guy back there, right?

"I have a Griffon with me, I'm sure of it."

"Huh? What? What's the matter with you?

"Look, that robe guy.Didn't you just tell me the carriage ran off?That's when I stopped the runaway carriage. "

"Ah, you're dead....."

As Ray and Seto walk the streets of Egginis, they hear the conversation.

I was watching the accident - or the incident - but I didn't seem to realize that there was an assassination disturbance because I wasn't good enough to discern your movements.

For Ray, it wasn't a problem because it didn't bother him to ask for more details or to be seen in the eyes of fear.

Gruuuuuuu?

What's the matter with you? As he asked Seth, Ray stroked his head to the star pavilion.

That's because I didn't feel like stopping by the stalls or anything like that after all that trouble.

It's easy to imagine that if you stop by the stall and they look at you strangely or ask you what happened to the carriage, it could be a hassle.

Essentially, street food is a customer business, and many people prefer to talk to customers.

Some of them are in the form of craftsmen, but there are also rude stalls.

That's why Ray went back to the Stargazer without stopping at the stall....

"Ray, are you okay?!

"Ray, are you okay?!

"Ray, are you okay?!

"Ray's brother, are you okay?!

As soon as I broke up with Seth, who was heading towards the stables, I was able to hear voices from four people at the same time as I entered the star pavilion.

Roger, Lindy, Marka, Nicky.

Those who were deeply involved in this exigency shouted at the moment they entered the star pavilion.

It's obvious what you're worried about.

I think Ray was attacked by an assassin the moment he entered Ex-Jinnis.

No, to be precise, the assassin was almost unknown, so you thought it was a carriage accident.

However, those who knew that Ray had been attacked by assassins in this inn before - Roger being the exception - were not surprised to be worried that the carriage accident might have been an assassin attack.

In fact, it was no doubt true that the assassins attacked us like this.

"Oh, no problem.It was just a carriage accident. "

If there is such a disturbance, the inn's guests and employees will naturally look at Ray and the others as if something had happened.

That's why I couldn't talk about being attacked by an assassin here.

The carriage lord was an assassin because the guards told me not to say much.

It is not an order that you should never say, but a request that you should not say if possible.

If Ray had been a low-ranking adventurer, he might have given strong orders.

I couldn't have said such a thing to Ray, who had an alias for a Rank A Adventurer.

Ray himself is unconscious, but a Rank A Adventurer has such a powerful influence.

For that reason, I think it would be okay to mention the assassin to those who were worried about themselves, but I thought it would be better to keep it as a carriage accident for those who had nothing else to do with it.

(Ah, but doesn't Roger know about the assassin?... well, there's the Dolan Workshop, and I'm asking you to produce a golem, so maybe you should let me know about it.)

While thinking like that, Ray opens his mouth and decides that he should move.

"It's a problem to make noise here, so why don't we move the place?My room is... well, it's big enough to fit this number of people, but I'd like a slightly larger room if I could. "

"Hmm, how about a concubine's room?

Marka's words were taken for granted in a sense.

Roger and Lindy didn't take a room in this inn in the first place.

On the contrary, Lindy is from an orphanage and is not a very high-ranking adventurer, so she can't come to high-end lodgings like Stargawa-tei, though not very much.

Lindy could not be stopped from entering the inn because Lindy was an acquaintance of Ray, but by chance Roger was with him.

When that happens, only Marka and Nicky are left....

"Lady, it's a lot worse to put someone else in your room."

Nicky says so.

Marka is still small, but she is still a woman.

And it's Nicky's honesty that I want you to stop imitating strange rumors beyond being a duchess.

Sometimes I think it's for Marka's sake, but more than that, I'm supposed to be Marca's escort, and that's what I would have thought if there had been such a story in Cohen's ear swearing deep allegiance.

But what do we do now?This number of people in Ray's room is tough, and Nicky's room is no different than Ray's.So if the concubine room doesn't work, there's nowhere to go?

"Well, how about my room?

I hear such a voice unexpectedly.

Ray sounded familiar with the voice and quickly understood who he was dealing with.

Rydon, there you are.

"Of course. It was about Lord Ray returning.... but I'm not hurt. "

Rydon, a neutral aristocracy led by Dasker, is probably the best of them to know that Ray is being targeted by an assassin.

Ray disguised himself as a maid and fought the assassin who broke into the inn.

That being the case, it's only natural that Rydon knows the assassin best.

And since Ridon is a man, bringing others into his room is not particularly disturbing.

And Ridon's room was quite spacious, which was definitely just right.

Yeah, it was a little close.

That's how you answer Rydon's concerns.

In fact, the enemy suddenly jumped in with both hands blocked.

Without the dragon robe, we would have probably suffered a lot.

Rydon showed a little surprise at Ray's words... and then opened his mouth.

"Anyway, it's annoying to be here.Like I said, why don't you talk to me in my room?

No one would say no to Rydon's words, so Ray and the others turned to Rydon's room looking around.

"Now, do I need to introduce myself...?

Rydon nods to his words, except for Ray.

Ray knows everyone here, but many others don't.

When Ray came back, I thought it was not strange that the four people who had spoken first introduced themselves to each other, but because they were worried about Ray, they couldn't afford to imitate him like that.

This is how we introduced ourselves, but Marca's presence is surprised by the fact that she is still the daughter of a famous aristocrat named the Duke of Quent.

... but only Roger and Lindy were surprised because Rydon knew about Marka.

Regardless of Roger, Lindy was surprised, but he didn't seem to understand exactly how many cases.

It is not strange that Roger understands the aristocrats, not just the Alchemist, who has the highest level of skill in Egginiss.

By contrast, Lindy is just an adventurer... and she's from the orphanage.

Egginis was an autonomous city, and I couldn't help but lack knowledge of the nobles.

Now that you are ranked up and become a talented person called a high-ranked adventurer, you will have a lot to go out with the nobles, and your knowledge of nature and nobility will increase.

To be precise, if you don't acquire the minimum knowledge, it could be the worst.

That's why we're done introducing ourselves... and Ray returns to Exinis to explain the early assassination riots.

"Hmm... it's surprising, but when it comes to Ray, it's not that surprising."

That's what Marka said the first time she heard about Ray.

It was Roger and Lindy who turned their gaze at Marka.

These two are still short after meeting Ray, so even though I know that Ray is an adventurer with arms, it is only knowledge.

It's hard to say that even Lindy, the same adventurer, has a solid grasp of Ray's abilities.

That's why, given the current situation, Marca didn't understand why she was so optimistic.

I see. Honestly, I didn't expect to be attacked as soon as I got back to Egginis.Maybe some of the guards are connected to a group behind the Assassin Guild. "

This is not so strange in itself.

Even Gilm, who is told by Dusker not to be able to corrupt his hands as much as possible, is quite a guard connected to the undercover organization.

I wonder if there's anything I can do about it.

In fact, if you say that it is all bad, there is the fact that it is not.

If the underlying organization is truly useless and harmless, it is the Lord who will destroy the organization itself.

Of course, if they were attacked, the underworld would fight back, and the lord would die and the underworld would survive...

Still, most of the underlying organization will be destroyed.

That would not be the case because it would be in the interest of the lord to have a purely underlying organization.

Collect the world behind you and avoid unnecessary disturbances.

Inform the lord of information unique to the rear world.

Defeat the undercover organization that came from other territories.

Bribe the lord to get all sorts of spills.

Beyond that, there are a number of other reasons… which undoubtedly allow the survival of the underlying organization.

For that reason, it was impossible for Ray, who was targeted by such an organization, to remain under heavy attack.
