Legend

Of course, Lindy knew more about Anne.

However, since Lindy met Anne in person a long time ago, Ray was more familiar with Anne's current appearance.

He also gives the slave merchant a note written on the slave merchant's shop that Lugana taught him.

The path of snakes should be called snakes, or the slave shop written in Ray's memo was well understood by the other side.

It would never have been a big deal to be the biggest slave trader in Egginis around here.

It would have been helpful if Ray had been able to negotiate with such a partner in the first place.

But for slavers, doing business with Ray is never a bad thing.

I'm not buying them cheaply, but I promised to sell them to my store after I caught the thief.

In a sense, it was a fruitful deal for both Ray and the slavers.

... but it wouldn't have gotten any worse if it had been a bandit used for trading.

Well then, I'll leave it to you. As early as today, late as tomorrow, I will let you know which slaver Anne was bought by.Also, if I find it, I will tell Ray not to sell it because I intend to buy it.Is that okay with you? "

"Oh, that's good. Thank you.... ah, that would change the story a bit, but I need to ask you something, okay?"

That's how Ray asks for the opportunity to talk to one of the largest slavers in Egginis.

Slavers also nod with a smile because it is profitable to make a good impression from Ray.

"Yeah, I don't mind. If only I knew."

"It's not that hard.... are there many people who come here to sell bandits as prisoners besides us these days?"

"I see. As far as my shop is concerned, it won't change that much.It's no different than before.And if that's the case in my shop, I'm sure it's the same in other shops. "

"... I see."

I don't think Ray has any doubts about the slaver's explanation.

The bandits have disappeared because, according to Ray's current perception, the Dolan Workshop uses the human body as a material for the Golem.

Although there is no clear type of evidence, there is no doubt that it presupposes such a thing.

In other words, even if the bandits gathered around Egginis disappeared, they might have just been taken prisoner... or dead, so they might still be alive, but they're sure to keep it.

As such, it was unlikely that they were selling bandits as slaves like Ray.

As far as the slavers were concerned, Ray's predictions were correct.

(Now I have another reason to doubt Dolan Workshop.The problem is how to hunt down the Dolan Workshop... and if I succeed, Lindy could break into it.This isn't about Anne.)

If it hadn't been for Anne, it might have been like Lindy was going into Dolan's workshop.

For Lindy, the Dolan Workshop is the most likely place to capture Goliath.

That said, Anne's incident was an unfortunate one for Lindy, but there was no doubt that she was right to help Lindy at the same time.

Well... if Ray was going to say that to Lindy, it would have been more likely that he would be angry, like poking his hair in the sky.

"As a slaver, do you feel like there are more bandits?"

"Huh? No. Some of them seem to have been attacked quite a bit, but the number of raids is not that high, and I don't think it's the same as before that captured bandits are sold as criminal slaves, as Ray just heard."

"I see. Then... can I ask you one more favor while you look into Anne's case?"

"Yeah, I'll do whatever Ray wants."

If you're a slaver, the more Ray asks you here, the more profitable it is.

However, I had no choice but not to listen to Ray's request.

Of course, if the request could not be fulfilled even if it was a slaver, it was another story.

"Well, then, as I've heard, I'd like you to find out if there's been an extreme increase in the number of bandits sold as criminal slaves over the last few days."

"Okay, if that's all right."

Although she was a slave merchant who took on the task lightly, it was completely different to find out whether a woman named Anne was sold as a slave and how often criminal slaves were sold.

In the former case, other slavers will also teach without particular reluctance, but in the latter case, they will not teach everything so easily as they will be heavily involved in the trade as slavers.

That said, the slavers in front of Ray took Ray's request lightly.

Naturally, if it were me... it would be because of my pride in being the biggest of the Egginis slavers, that I could do anything.

Of course, that's how Ray thought he would benefit more than just collecting information.

"Well, please. Let me know where Anne is when you find out about the information.As far as the bandits are concerned, I don't mind. "

"Okay, then."

The negotiations between Ray and the slavers were thus concluded.

"Anne-san, I hope you're okay."

After negotiating with the slavers, Lindy murmured a little after leaving the shop.

The words had a strong colour of distress.

(Told the customer that it was impossible. I know your face... no, when I hear that your family has been enslaved, it's usually like this.Not to mention the fact that it has been friendly to orphanages until now, but when the president of the Chamber of Commerce changed to him... is it natural to think like this?)

That's what Ray thought, but I also have questions about the behavior of someone named Gerby.

No doubt Anne is an attractive woman, but why do you bother to imitate Anne as a slave?

Or if Garby simply wanted Anne to be her own woman, Ray would have been convinced.

But according to the information Camilla brought, Anne was sold as a slave to a slave merchant in Egginis.

Why did you deliberately imitate such a thing?

(Should I check this out?)

Normally, a carriage from Exinis to Bourdon, where the orphanage is located, takes a lot of time.

However, if Ray had a partner named Seto, there was a way to get there right away.

"Lindy, I'm going to go to Bourdon and talk to him.If you have a letter, I'll deliver it, but what should I do? "

"What? Is that... really what you're saying?What are you going to do about Anne's information and the Dolan Workshop?Not really, but you can't afford Ray to be away from Exinis for days. "

"Did you forget? I have Seto.And with Seto, you can come back to Exinis on a day trip. "

Lindy was surprised at Ray's words.

I've been watching Seto many times, and I've heard about it from Ray.

But knowing the existence of Seto, I didn't think I could do such a mimic.

Still, it's not just surprising, but thinking about what I should do as soon as Ray really says it....

"Then why don't you take me to Bourdon?I want to see with my own eyes what's going on in the orphanage now that Anne is gone.Besides, I'd rather tell you in person than in a letter, and I'd like to take Camilla home if I can. "

"Ah... Camilla..."

Understood, Ray nodded at Lindy's words.

Nevertheless, Ray can't just nod to Lindy's words.

"Maybe Camilla came out without saying anything to the adults in the orphanage.The adults in the orphanage wouldn't normally do that. "

The kid is alone... without a carriage, walking all the way to Egginis.

Such an imitation will most likely result in death.

Camilla arrived safely in Egginis without encountering monsters or bandits, and even at Lindy's inn, thanks to luck.

When I bought a lottery ticket in Japan, Ray could honestly convince me that he was just as lucky as the first prize.

If I had told Lindy something, it wouldn't have been strange if the grown-ups had come.

(I mean, maybe Camilla's gone, and she's looking for Bourdon, or maybe she's on a carriage to Egginis... no, given the speed, is it weird that she's already here?Well, I don't think it's strange to find Camilla while traveling in a carriage.Or can't you afford to come to Ex-Jinnis because Anne is gone and takes care of the children in the orphanage?)

Thinking like that... but Ray shakes his head against Lindy.

"I'm sorry, but it's hard to take Lindy."

"Hey, why!"

If I were Lindy, I'd be worried about Anne... and about the orphanage when Camilla disappeared.

I was told that I can go to Bourdon on a day trip in such a situation, but it is no wonder I am dissatisfied with what it means that I can't go with you.

"It's impossible for Seto to fly in the sky on a ride other than mine.If you can't do it... you might be able to ride a kid like Camilla, but in that case, Seto's wearing out pretty badly.If you still want to come with me... how many times have I done this before at my party, will you grab Seto's foot with your hands and move the sky? "

"That's...."

Lindy's cheeks twitched as she imagined herself flying in the sky with a grip on Seto's leg.

Looking at Lindy like that... that reminds me of Ray.

"That's right, there was a setto cage.With that, Lindy and Camilla can fly together, but first of all, it's definitely going to stand out. "

The Cetto cage is not particularly noticeable when it is flying in the sky because it can't be seen from the ground.

However, when you pull out that set-top cage... or when you lower it to the ground while flying, it really stands out.

Also, in this world where basically there was no flying in the sky, it was not impossible for some people to think that it was unfamiliar at the time of flying in the set cage.

That's all, I don't want to recommend it as Ray, if possible.

"I wonder if Bourdon has a garby?I think it would be troublesome if the guy who's hanging around the orphanage finds out about the seto cage or something.If you're going to give me a little something, I can handle it as much as I want.But if you mess with the orphanage, I'll be hard to deal with. "

The distance between Bourdon and Exinis was a distance that Seth could move quickly, but it was only Seth.

It is impossible to pay constant attention to the situation of the orphanage in such a situation, and above all, it is difficult to get in touch, and if there is any problem in the orphanage, there are no many ways for Ray and the others to know about it.

If it's a pair of orbs, it's a different story, but pairs of orbs aren't that easy to get.

Even if Ray and Elena had a pair of orbs, it would be obvious how hard it was to get them.

"That's... okay. Then I'll just write you a letter."

It was Lindy who tried to argue against Ray, but in the end, I would decide that it makes no sense to say anything I can't say here, as long as Ray can't say anything.

It was also true that Anne was worried about the orphanage, but at the same time she was definitely worried about Goliath.

Anyway, Anne is enslaved by Exinis.

That's what I thought I should do to secure you... first I started preparing to write a letter.
