Legend

I don't like it.

In response to the guards' request for accompaniment - a substantial arrest - Ray said so.

"Nah...."

The guard who was talking to Ray didn't think that Ray would say no to his words.

I can't say anything about that word.

The authority of the guards is quite great.

Especially since the city is autonomous, merchants and workshops run the city.

However, the authority of the guards in this Egginis was greater than that of the city ruled by the nobles, as there was no such thing as a knighthood under the nobility.

Of course, it's just common sense that Egginis is the only one, but the guard who was talking to Ray thought that his common sense would also lead to Ray.

But of course Ray can't obey a guard like that.

Or if the guards were coming when the Jarris workshop was being attacked and the adventurers hired by the Dolan workshop and the guards were fighting, they would have gone out and talked about things.

However, these guards did not show up at all when the adventurers hired by the Dolan Workshop attacked the Jarris Workshop, and Ray appeared as if he had been waiting for it when Ray rode in Seto - and Ray predicted that he would have actually been waiting for it.

It was obvious that the aim was to capture Ray, who was inconvenient for Dolan Workshop, and to somehow disable him without going that far.

There is no conclusive evidence.

However, the current situation was above all evidence.

(In Japan, it seems that circumstantial evidence is not that strong, but it is different in this world.I mean, it's not a trial or anything, so I don't think it's necessary to worry about that area.)

With that in mind, Ray smiles at the guards.

"So? I told you I don't like it, but what do you do?If it's going to be hard on you, I'll take care of it. "

I suppose you returned to me in Ray's words.

The guards shouted reddishly at the frustration that didn't work out for them.

"Ray! You... think you're just going to stand up to the guards!You can throw away your bounty through your Alliance! "

Normally, listening to a word like that doesn't make you shrivel.

Being able to pay a bounty means that many villages, cities and other places will be unavailable and will be targeted by bounty hunters who specialize in targeting bounty heads.

But... despite the situation, Ray opened his eyes to the guards.

"Bounty neck? Try it if you can.But, of course, putting me on the head of a prize is going to expose everything that's happening at the Dolan Workshop right now. "

The guards in front of Ray are, after all, down.

That being the case, you will not know anything about the kind of necromancy that takes place at the Dolan Workshop.

It wouldn't have worked if I said I couldn't put the prize on my neck for that reason... unless it was something else.

The fact that these guards were not guilty of anything - Roger attacked Seth, but it has already been settled - watching the Jarris workshop be attacked in silence is fatal for the guards.

If this were to come to light, it would undoubtedly be a major disturbance.

Ray is a rank A adventurer with a different name, and he is not very aware of it, but he is recognized as the pocket knife of Dusker, a neutral leader.

If only such an important person, naturally, were to work for the prize, we would be able to find out exactly what happened here.

Of course, what bothers me is the guards... the people who gave the orders to the guards.

If you ask me if I want to give Ray a prize, I won't nod, but I won't.

Not to mention, Ray has a partner named Seto.

If the bounty hunter comes, we can get out of here in a flying setto.

Alternatively, there are ways to go to other countries as it is, or to live in rural areas where there is no information on the neck of the prize.

"Don't be a coward!"

The guards shouted at Ray's words, but not only the adventurers who were naturally employed by Ray and the Jarlis workshop, but also the wild horses who were watching in a remote place, and the shouted guards looked at such people in a daze.

Of course. If anyone asks me who's doing the cowardly imitation in the current situation, it's the guards who are obviously following orders from the Dolan Workshop.

Even if you say something like being cowardly in this situation, no one can honestly believe it.

"I don't know which one is the coward.... well, anyway. So what are you gonna do?Like I said, if I catch you because I flew in the sky on Seto, I'll be the one.We don't have to stop running with Dolan Workshop. "

The moment I heard the word "run with Dolan Workshop" coming out of Ray's mouth, the guard man who was talking to Ray stared at Ray with a red face for a different reason.

Even though it was an order from above, did he realize that it was a run by Dolan Workshop, as Ray said?

Or I didn't realize it myself, but did I have a pride as a guard in my heart?

Ray didn't know where it was, but I can imagine things from the current situation.

Yes, but... think that the man in front of you has nothing to do with it, and erase the idea from your head.

"Gu... you!"

Couldn't forgive being humiliated, the guards held their weapons in rage.

Those who looked around were surprised at the appearance of the sword pulled out of the sheath.

Particularly surprised among them were the guards other than the one who was talking to Ray.

The person who was talking to Ray had blood on his head.

In comparison, there was still some room for the other guards to talk to Ray directly.

But you didn't think your people would pull their weapons in front of Ray.

As security guards, they have considerable authority in Egginis.

But the existence of Ray in front of you is not an easy target to manage even with that kind of authority.

That's what happens when you fight without authority.

At least, it was clear that the guards would never win if they fought from the front.

"Hey, hey! What are you doing!"

That's why another guard who was by the unarmed guard shouted.

It was not only the screamers who stopped the man who pulled out his weapon.

The others who were around also desperately stopped.

There is no doubt that the guards here are behind the Dolan Workshop.

The guards who hate it aren't here in the first place.

But... even though I understand that I'm working for the Dolan Workshop myself, each one of them has a different degree.

Some followers of the Dolan Workshop from the bottom of their hearts, and some followers of the Dolan Workshop with a little pocket money.

And the former and the latter, naturally, are overwhelmingly more numerous.

There were few people here who wanted to fight Ray just to that extent.

Most of this means that there are a few of them... but if you try to hostile Ray in this situation, it will be stopped lightly by other guards.

Given the circumstances around here, even those who are willing to fight Ray can't do it now.

"Nh! Hey, you guys, let go! You're gonna pull back like this!You know what happens when you do that! "

"Yes, I think you should step back now.Otherwise, it'll be a lot worse, won't it?Besides, you don't think we can beat Ray on our own. "

"Gh... that's..."

If a man who draws his weapon is told by one of his allies, not Ray, that he cannot beat Ray on his own, he cannot contest the words of one of his allies.

Because of the words of my friends, I was able to calm down a little bit.

"What is it? If you want to do it, I'll do it quickly.I'm not free like you.I pulled out the corner weapon, so you can't just leave it there, right? "

The guard who was holding the weapon shouted, blushing his face at the provocation from Ray's mouth.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

Hee.

Ray looks surprised at the man's retreat.

Given the current situation, I didn't think I'd really have the option of retreating here.

The man who was talking to Ray wasn't as simple as he looked when he honestly chose to retreat from the situation where there was blood on his head earlier.

Of course, it is not interesting to think of a man as having been fooled and despised by Ray to retreat.

You know that, but you still know you have to do it in the present situation... and then you stare at Ray in disgust, and then you open your mouth.

"Remember!"

Typical discarded dialogues lead the guards away with the rest of the group.

Is Ray going to provoke us a little bit more while we wait?However, given the current situation, it is decided that there should be no further disturbances here.

If you were here alone, or you and Seth alone, you might have done something like that, but here you are, not just yourself, but the Jarris Workshop.

If the opponent behaves strangely by further provocation, the Jarris Workshop personnel may also be harmed.

Or the damage to the facility may not adversely affect Roger's golem.

In that light, there was no doubt that it would be better to stop provoking any more here.

And then I think about my current situation... and I remember talking about turning the golem into a slum town... no way, I think about the possibility, and I immediately call Seth.

When Ray called, Seth, who was flying in the sky, immediately came down toward the ground.

"I'm sorry, I'm going back."

Ray on Seth's back who came down said so, naturally the guards at Jarlis Workshop were surprised.

I'm glad you saved our lives, but you didn't expect me to come back so soon.

"Eh, hey... what's the rush?!"

"I'm a little more concerned about the slums."

Having said that, Ray once again rode into Seto and headed to Slam Street, without the other person knowing or caring if he understood.

Ray hastened to return to Slum City, thinking that the Jarris Workshop raid might have captured him and disabled him, or even if he hadn't been able to do so, he would have created a situation where he was somewhat absent from Slum City.

Of course Ray is important to Dolan Workshop.

Above all, Ray is still taking the altar for the necromancy ritual.

Even if we can recover the Anne hidden in the snow and wind, we can't use her soul as a material for the core of the Golem.

Or take me hostage?But I think it will be a real battle against the snow and wind.Yeah, but if you can't build a Golem nucleus and you're being hunted down, will you imitate it?)

Nevertheless, the Golem of Dolan Workshop is somewhat performing, but it is not the Alchemist after all, only the Golem is strong.

In that sense, the Alchemist does not imitate fighting the Golem from the front, and the existence of an assassin who precisely aims only at the life of the Alchemist is probably even a natural enemy.

Now, if the Alchemist has the strength he deserves in life, there is no way to deal with the assassin.

However, none of the alchemists Ray had seen since he came to Egginis seemed to be good at fighting in life.

Not all of the alchemists in Egginis were known, and not all of them might have acted as adventurers.

With that in mind, Ray rode into Seto and headed for Slum Town.
