Legend

While Ray and Orban were talking at Robert's Mansion, Seth was walking around the slum freely.

By nature, slums are a dangerous place.

That's why if someone who doesn't know anything does something like enter a slum city with an interest in mind, it's not strange to even lose the worst life.

Although it is such a slum town, Seth walks around without any particular concern.

... but nonetheless, there is no one like Seth to be raided.

It is related to the fact that Seto is a Griffon, and in addition, the information that Ray and Seto are currently guests of the wind and snow was spread by the wind and snow.

If you were hired by the Dolan Workshop, you would have spread the word about where Ray and Seth are and where the people Ray took away, but you decided that there was still no problem with the snow and the wind.

"Gruuuuuuuu"

With his throat rang, Seth ran through the slums.

Unlike the whole city, roads with collapsed buildings are quite difficult to run.

However, it is only a perception of obstacles if it is set, and there is no significant difference as set.

No, on the contrary, if you try to make it a setup, is it fun to run while avoiding obstacles, or it doesn't seem like you've suffered at all while running around.

The slum-dwellers saw Seto running around like that, but there was no way to make a scene.

Naturally, Seto doesn't run in places like people.

With Seto's five senses and six senses, you can sense if there are people in your running place.

That's why Seth was able to run around freely.

"Gruuuuuuu, gruuuuuuuu, gruuuuuuuuuu!"

Seto runs around freely, screaming with joy.

It's a shame Ray wasn't here, but it's never a bad thing for Seto to be able to run around the slums with some freedom.

Still, it doesn't really mean full speed.

Although the current situation is a little insufficient for Seto, I still feel that it is acceptable to some extent.

It was Ceto who was running like that... but of course, it would stand out if he did something like running around freely like that in Slam City.

"Hey, is that... a Griffon called Ray's subordinate?"

And for those who came looking for Ray, there was no way they could have missed Seth's existence.

Adventurers hired by the Dolan Workshop, Ray defeated a while ago.

Apart from that - in the sense that they were hired by the Dolan Workshop - they were the same.

The Dolan Workshop won't forgive Ray for stealing the altar he used for necromancy and the sacrifices he used for it.

No, before I could forgive you, I had to get back the altar Ray had taken.

And with the name Dolan Workshop, it's not hard to gather a lot of adventurers.

... but some of them didn't want to do anything like challenge the anonymous adventurer because they had a good understanding of Ray's strengths and were cautious.

Anyway, here we are, attracted to the rewards from Dolan Workshop, the alchemists who betrayed Ray and Dolan Workshop, or those who came to capture the slaves who were taken away.

That's why I think they're lucky to find Seth running around the slums.

In fact, it is unclear whether it is really lucky.

"Even if I say so... how are we gonna catch up?Not really, but we can't run that fast? "

It was a request from all over the city, but it was in Slum City, and Ray was going to fight it.

These adventurers are naturally the best equipped, but metal armor is heavy.

And it was only natural that running with heavy metal armor would slow down your feet.

There were some bandits at this party, but I couldn't keep up with the speed at which Seto ran.

"Hmm... then what should I do?I found a corner griffon, but it doesn't make any sense. "

In fact, while talking like this, Seth is gradually moving away from the slum city.

Not at all, but it will be difficult to catch up from now on.

"In the meantime, why don't we head for the one where Griffon ran?Maybe there's a safe house over there.... I wish there was... "

One of the parties says so, but words are powerless.

Though I want it to happen as much as possible, you probably think there is no such thing as a base even if you follow Seto.

In fact, the prediction is correct.

Seto is not on his way to the snowstorm, he's just running around.

Even if we could get ahead of Seth's current course, it would only be like a slum town.

... or maybe there were many Assassin Alliances in Egginis, so there might have been a base, but at least there wasn't a snowstorm base these adventurers were looking for.

There is no doubt that there are only clues as far as Seto's run.

Alternatively, I might have come to another conclusion if I had known about the relationship between Wind and Snow and Ray.

Regardless, we can't abandon the option of chasing Seto until we get a lead on the corner.

We came to Slam City without a clue, so if we were to imitate not following Seth here, we would have to look for a clue first.

There's also a way to gather information from slum dwellers... or that's the quickest way to do it, but slum dwellers basically lie to get money.

Many will answer by asking where Ray's base is and promising a reward.

But... the information is different from one person to another, and it's likely that going where the information is would have been completely bullshit.

In that case, it would definitely be better to follow Seth, Ray's subordinate.

Those were the adventurers who judged and chased Seto... I was surprised to see that Seto, who was supposed to have run away earlier, ran towards them less than a few minutes after he first ran.

"Hey, why are you coming back here?!You just ran over there! "

The woman with the dagger shouted unconvinced why Seto came back here.

Seth just happened to come back because he likes to run around the slums, but it was completely unexpected for the adventurers who tried to chase him.

(What do we do?)

The party leader's man is lost for a moment, but at the same time decides that this is a crisis and an opportunity.

It's hard to catch up with the running seto, but fortunately now they're coming towards us from the other side.

Then we need to catch Seth here.

"I'm going to get Griffon! Ready!?"

Of course, I don't think I can win against Seto.

But it is reckless to fight from the front against an unwinnable opponent.

What men can do in this situation is not fight.....

"Ah, ahh... I brought it exactly as I was told, but I didn't really think it was going to work."

The bandits took out dried meat.

However, naturally, the dried meat is not just dried meat, but dried meat prepared with sleeping pills.

When requested by the Dolan Workshop, I fully considered the possibility of opposing Ray, who has the alias Deep Red, and the Griffon of his subordinate Rank A monster.

However, if you fight from the front, you need to use a method other than fighting from the front, as you can't win.

And the man who was the party leader heard that Ray and Seto liked to eat.

If so, you can let him sleep without having to fight from the front.

No matter how strong they are, if they fall asleep, they have no hands or feet.

That way, you can kill and capture them as much as you like.

Especially against the Griffon of the Rank A Monster.

I don't know how much the material would cost if I could kill it.

In that case, it was not surprising why Ray and the hostiles would not resort to such means.

While thinking like that, the distance between Seto and the adventurers shrinks rapidly.

Of course, Seth is aware of the adventurers.

I had five senses that were more sharp than ordinary people... specifically, using the senses of hearing, smell, and sight to grasp the presence of the adventurer.

At the same time, one of the adventurers has dried meat, and from that dried meat, he also notices the smell of chemicals that ordinary people would not notice.

I don't even know that the drug is a kind of sleeping pill, but I soon realized that it was not ordinary dried meat.

Still, Seth stopped near the adventurers because he decided it was best to defeat the opponent who came after them as much as possible.

"Gruuuuuu"

Watch the adventurers and be alert... no, set your throat to intimidation.

Tingling.

The adventurers accidentally retreat to Seto's attitude after a few steps.

These adventurers are active in Egginis.

In other words, enemies are basically merchants escorting them, bandits attacking nobles, and monsters often fight goblin-like opponents.

Occasionally... I've actually fought orcs and flying harpy once in a while, but to that extent.

I've never been so close to a monster with a gigantic body more than three meters long like Ceto... from the front.

Some of the horses that carry carriages and horses used by the cavalry have bodies the size of Seth, but the power of horses and griffins is very different.

Horses, whether they are horses or horses like the one holding Elaina's carriage, are never inferior when they face Seto in close proximity, but such horses are not so easy to see.

"Oh, hey. Dried meat... quickly..."

In front of Seto, the party leader managed to speak up.

I guess I'm just a party leader because I can make such a voice in this situation.

In the voice of such a party leader, the bandits managed to deliver dried meat to Seto while fearing the presence of Seto.

"Here, here. Dried meat. This is special, it's delicious."

Since it is dried meat prepared with sleeping pills, it is not wrong to say that it is specially made.

Nevertheless, the question is whether Seto will eat the dried meat.

Even so, the dried meat prepared by this party is important for preservation and is by no means delicious.

Ray originally had a mystery, so there's no need for dried meat in the sense of preserving food.

Ray still has some dried meat in his possession, not to eat it as it is, but to use it as a cooking ingredient.

In fact, dried meat produces good stock when used as a soup ingredient, and it is not bad as a ingredient.

However, what Ray has is fine dried meat, also made of spices.

It was mostly that kind of dried meat that Seto had the chance to eat.

By the way, Seth was loved by many in Gilmore, and had a good chance to eat regular dried meat.

It was such a setup, but I decided it was better not to eat the dried meat in front of me... When I sucked the dried meat out with a stick, I threw it away in the distance.

"Ah...."

The bandit man who was serving dried meat shouted with surprise and despair at being robbed of his meat.

I bet you didn't really think you could beat Seto from the front.

If the dried meat does not work, there is no other way to deal with it.

"Hey, hey, hey... what's going on?"

The bandits ask Seth, who snorts his throat and looks at himself, to be afraid.

"Gruuuuuuuu"

Against the bandits, Seth rang his throat with intimidation.

Looking at this, it seems very unlikely that Seto is in a good mood.

(Did you know... that dried meat has sleeping pills?)

That's how the party leader looks at Seto.

The party leader's man shouted aggressively when he realized that his prepared wife's hand would not work.

"Run!"

As he screamed, he hurriedly left the scene... others followed such instructions reflectively, but at the next moment, Seth attacked the escaped party.
