Legend

The day after he went to the slums, Ray slept better than usual and dressed himself before heading to the cafeteria.

I don't think Ray would taste like sleeping too if he was asked to do something.

Or if you're making some sort of promise.

However, I didn't make any promises today, so there was no problem around here.

Waiting for an ambassador from the wind and snow may be a promise in a sense.

In any case, it was never a bad story to enjoy this slow time without a promise in particular.

In the first place, Ray came to Exgenis to buy Golems, but it has more holiday implications than that.

The fact that Gilm was unable to walk freely in one of the Crystal Dragon corpses is obvious given the disturbances when he returned to the Gilm.

Until that disturbance subsides... or until there's no one to make a scene of Ray, but until it subsides somewhat, Ray won't be able to act like he's free to walk in the Gilm.

(I'd love to spend the winter in Gilmore.)

Essentially, we don't go out that often in the winter.

If you go out, many people will be less likely to expose their faces because they are wearing coats and robes to counter the cold.

That's all, Ray thought it would be okay to go back to Gilmore in the winter.

(The question is, will Golem be purchased by then?)

We are currently asking Roger for a defensive and cleaning golem, and we are preparing to purchase another Golem for the Dolan Workshop.

Roger said he was going to use Oaknaga materials to make a golem, so it's no wonder it takes time.

Beyond using an unknown material called Oaknaga, we need to first find out what it is.

After analyzing the area, consider how it should be used as a material for the golem.

If the nature of the material is discovered quickly, it won't take long to make a golem.

However, if it takes time to analyze the material, it will be too late to work on the production of the golem.

Ray expected that Dolan's workshop would take less time than Roger's.

No, it's not prediction, it's certainty.

Ray is not the only one who wants the Golem from Dolan Workshop.

Nobles and merchants like the Great Chamber of Commerce are also looking to buy Golems from Dolan Workshop.

Still, it is the autumn season of late summer, but if the aristocrats and big chambers of commerce are told to wait until winter, the answer is no.

Ray alone might have waited, but I couldn't keep him waiting that long because there were nobles and big merchants.

"Nh, as delicious as ever."

After enjoying breakfast in the restaurant at Stargawatei, Ray tried to get back to his room....

"Mr. Ray, may I have a moment?

When I tried to get back to my room, I was surprised to hear it.

Turning to what the hell was that, the hotel employee was there.

And there was a man in his twenties on the employee's side.

A man who doesn't have characteristic features that seem to be remarkable.

If you force the characteristic, is it a man who seems healthy?

I wonder if a guy like that would say hello to Ray...

"They say this is Soleil, but is it correct that he said that he might visit last night?

Soleil.

Listening to those words, Ray understands who the man in front of him is… exactly who he came from.

I understand, but I'm still surprised.

Ray went to the snowstorm hub yesterday... or last night.

Isn't it too soon to come to the report on anything more than that?And that's what I thought.

"Master Ray?

"Oh, no. Yeah, he's the one who said he was coming.Okay, let me talk to you in your room, okay?

"Yes, please."

The man who says so... nods to Soleil, and Ray says thank you to the hotel staff before heading to the room.

It is not uncommon for a person staying at this inn to invite someone to their room.

But it's Ray who's doing it this time.

A high-profile figure in Egginis today... and in the Stargazer Pavilion.

Because such a person is inviting guests from the outside and staying with them, there's no way they won't get noticed.

If this was someone who was staying in a stargazer like Marka, Nicky, and Rydon, it would have been different.

(Ah, but if you say so, did Roger and Lindy come yesterday?I was with Marka and Nicky when I arrived, so they don't think I'm your guest...)

When Ray came back, he was shouting Ray's name.

Beyond that, it's not strange to be perceived as Ray's associate.

Not to mention Lindy, Roger is known in Egginis as a skilled alchemist.

While in sight, Ray ignores it and enters his room with a man.

"Okay, so... just sit on your couch for now."

"Thank you."

Then the man sits on the sofa... and lowers his head towards Ray before he does.

"My name is Soleil, and I was sent from the snow and wind."

"For the record, is Soleil your real name?

"No, just think of it as the title of the messenger."

I see. Then I'll call you Soleil for now. "

So, when Ray saw him sitting on the sofa, Soleil also sat on the sofa.

"So, can I assume that your presence here has solved one of the blood blades?

"Yes, yesterday, Ray-san...."

"Oh, don't be afraid of anything else.Make it easy to say. "

"I see. Thank you very much.Yesterday, after Ray returned, Snow and Wind used their maximum force to raid the base of the Blood Blade and destroy none of them. "

Soleil talks lightly of annihilation.

The use of the word annihilation naturally meant that there were many people there.

Not to mention that the blade of blood is not the biggest assassination organization in Egginis like a snowstorm, but Ray has heard from Nina that there are many Assassin Guilds on a large scale.

Naturally, there would have been a reasonable number of people at the base, and some of them would not have been combatants.

They killed all of them.

Nevertheless, Soleil's expression did not look scared or regretted at all.

Seeing Soleil like that, Ray is convinced that he is a member of the Assassin Alliance.

"But you were pretty quick."

"Isn't that what you were ordered to do?

I see. I thought the sooner the better.But I still thought it would take a few days. "

"I appreciate Ray's surprise.... for now, those who were at the base have been destroyed, but those who were not at the base may have fled.I don't think it's going to be like targeting Ray again because the blade of blood has already been destroyed, but please be careful. "

"I will.... so you know who was after me?

"Yes, I had a contract.But I've decided it's dangerous to take it out, so I'm taking it with me to one of the hubs where the snow and wind are using it. "

That reminds me that Ray told me to give her the treasure.

It would certainly be useful, but in this case, the destruction of the blood blade was more important to Ray than the treasure, and the information on who asked for the blood blade.

"You didn't bring the contract?Whatever the treasure, it's not hard enough to bring a contract, is it?

"Just in case, it's not held.On my way to see Ray, the remnants of the blood blade could come after me. "

If we had a blade of blood, we would have been destroyed if we had noticed.

Survivors who were not on the base by accident usually imitated that they would disappear quickly to avoid getting caught up in it, but for some reason… it is not strange to think that there are lovers and wives on the base who were killed by snow or wind, or simply that the Assassin Alliance to which they belong was unilaterally destroyed.

For such people, it was not an assassin like Soleil, but someone to send a message was the best match for revenge.

Of course, Soleil is much stronger than belonging to the Assassin Alliance.

But it's just... somewhat self-defensive, and it's hard to deal with an assassin who's actually active.

That's why Soleil didn't have a contract like that, he simply came to get Ray.

"I see, I understand the situation.Then let's go to the warehouse.How far is it from here?Could it be a slum town?

Now that the Snow and Wind hub is in Slum City, will Soleil show you where it's going to be?

Though it was Ray who thought so, Soleil shook his head sideways.

"No, it's not.It's not the main street, but it's still a warehouse on the back street. "

Exinis is a city where the golem industry thrives, and there are many types of warehouses that hold golem in that connection.

It seems that Snow and Wind own one of these warehouses, where Snow and Wind brought treasures and contracts...

"I see. Then let's get going.Who asked for the blade of blood that is targeting me?Depending on that, we need to behave ourselves. "

"I see. I will show you soon.However, even if the assassin guild finds out about this incident, it is possible that Mr. Ray could be fitted if he moves in a circumstantial manner. "

"Can you fit it? Specifically, my client asked for a blood blade because I made it up and insisted that the contract type was a forgery?Egginis can be troublesome just for autonomous cities. "

If this is the rule of ordinary aristocracy, we could do something like get Dasker to turn his hand around at worst.

Or even if it wasn't Dascar, there wasn't a way to get help from a neutral aristocrat like Rydon who came to Egginis.

But when this becomes an autonomous city, the story changes.

Specifically, the people who are ruling this Ex-Jinnis… in this case, they would be merchants, but there was a good chance that they would fit Ray in at their own discretion or join hands with someone who wanted Ray to die.

In order not to do so, it is necessary to use another method, rather than attacking an organization that has honourably asked for its own assassination from the front.

(If so, who is the best person I can rely on in the current situation... Roger?)

Roger was overtaken by technology at the Dolan Workshop, but he is still a skilled alchemist in Egginiss.

If it's Roger… and if it's Roger's workshop, it's sure to have a strong say in Egginis.

If so, it still seemed like a bad option to ask Roger to do something like blame for killing himself.

Regarding rewards, there are also ways to imitate additional Oaknaga materials, or to divide Crystal Dragon materials slightly.

(I was so happy in Oaknaga, I'm sure the Crystal Dragon materials would be delighted.If that's the condition that you do something about the man who targeted me, like a blade of blood... no, I don't think it's strange to destroy the enemy even more flashy than a blade of blood.)

Thinking like that, Ray opens his mouth as if he were looking back at Soleil.

"Anyway, I can't help it if I don't know what kind of target is actually targeting me.First of all, would you actually show me the type of contract in that warehouse?Please guide me. "

"Yes, I understand.So, what do we do?Want to go now?

Ray nodded naturally at Soleil's words.
