After what happened in front of the lord's house, there was nothing particularly wrong with him, and Ray returned to the city.

The number of people working on the expansion works is large, and as far as I can see, there seems to be little space to walk.

(No, it's really more people than before, isn't it?... well, it's autumn, so maybe it can't be helped)

For many merchants, the goal is to purchase goods in the guilm before winter.

It is also highly likely that snow will fall while you are in Gilm if you take the trouble to purchase goods.

Of course, just because it's snowing doesn't mean you can't get out of the Gilm right away.

Still, if it snows, it will be cold, and above all, there will be snow on the streets.

It is not impossible to travel by carriage if snow is accumulated in earnest, but it is difficult.

Alternatively, the carriage can be moved quite easily if it is piled thinly, but there is a possibility that a horse holding the carriage or wheel will slip its legs due to snow.

To prevent that from happening, you probably want to buy goods from Gilm and go somewhere else a little early.

Or, if you're working on an extension, you can buy souvenirs for when you return home during the winter.

Or are some of those who cross the winter at Gilm trying to buy various things that they need a little earlier?

(Yeah, I'm glad everyone looks busy.... apparently someone will be dispatched from the King's City, but I wonder what's going to happen around here)

When it snows, it is naturally harder to move.

Not to mention, it was not unusual for monsters to appear on the edge of the Gilm during the winter.

If so, even if someone comes from the royal capital, it is necessary to arrive at Gilm before it snows, and we cannot take the time to select a candidate.

(I think there are many people who want to come to Gilm because it is likely to be in their own interest.Who will be chosen among them?That's why there seems to be a lot of rushing, trading, etc.)

Ray was walking around the city thinking like that.....

"Hey, is it true that Ray is back in the Gilm!?"

Such a voice came into his ear, and Ray's walking speed slowed for a moment.

Fortunately, no one noticed Ray like that... but it was still a gilm full of skilled adventurers.

Maybe it's not strange that someone recognized Ray as Ray just for the moment.

... but for someone like that, the concealment effect of the dragon robe doesn't make much sense either. Even if you don't know that it's a ray with a hood on your face or a dragon robe, it's not strange if you can see it as a ray with the way your body moves.

Perhaps such a person was looking at Ray now and could have spotted Ray, but now Ray listened while thinking that he might not have been found by such an opponent.

"It's true. I've seen monsters descend on the aristocratic city."Ray is the only one who can imitate this kind of situation right now, right? "

"Wait a minute, that's the crimson that defeated the Crystal Dragon, right?"I've just come to the Gilm recently, but why is it that monsters can enter the city without any formalities? "

"Huh? If you've been here recently, don't you know?"Ray... or rather, Ray and Set are quite special.I heard that Ray was reliant on me for this expansion work at first.He said he didn't have to go into the city because of the relationship. "

No, it's not.

Ray was about to say that reflexively to those listening to the conversation, but if he said such a thing here now, he would be known as Ray, which would definitely be troublesome.

There was a little danger in front of the lord's museum, so I stopped talking.

... in fact, I was able to enter the Guild directly without going through any formalities because of the Crystal Dragon.

Of course, it is no mistake that I worked quite a bit in the expansion work.

I want to penetrate the story I heard, but I want to look at the products of the surrounding stores and listen to the story.

Noble city. I was hoping you could sell me the materials of the dragon... I don't think so.

It's impossible.

"No, you don't have to say that relentlessly..."

Maybe there is some kind of hint.

I was a merchant who asked the person I was talking to, but I had no choice but to shake my head to the side.

"I can't do what I can't."A lot of people have been trying to get Ray to negotiate, but I haven't heard of it yet.I don't like to be brought in to negotiate myself, but I can't really come back to the Gilm. "

"Is that so?" I would have liked to meet and talk to you once if I could.Even if you leave out the dragon material, it's not a bad idea to have a familiar adventurer with an alias. "

"That's true... but I think we should do something else instead of Ray."

"Huh? Why? Ray, with his crimson nickname, has become quite famous in the last few years."I just want to meet you as soon as I can. "

"But Ray's common sense as a merchant doesn't make sense."She says she doesn't like the person she doesn't like, and the deal doesn't work that easily.Just because I have high combat power doesn't mean I can't use threats.Oh, of course I'm not going to do that. "

I don't know who's asking me, but I'm in a hurry to correct him.

In fact, the judgment was correct in a sense.... and at the same time, in a way, it's wrong.

After all, Ray was listening to what he was saying on the spot.

Because I heard the words, I remembered the face of the merchant and thought about not making a deal... I walked away from it.

All that remained were the merchants who had just arrived in Gilm and the merchants who explained with a familiar face.

I didn't know that I had made a fatal mistake, so I continued to explain it with an intelligent face.

(I knew it was too early to know about Set.There's a lot of people already moving around.

Ray sees a lot of people walking around the city busier than usual.

Of course, I'm not looking for Ray because all of them are dropped by Sete.

However, given the current situation, there were certainly quite a few people involved in the search for Ray.

Still, it was unlikely that it would be recognized from this crowd as a ray that only wore a common robe with the effect of concealing a dragon robe, so it wasn't going to be that easy to find.

(However, I don't know what to do. If this were to happen, it wouldn't be possible for me to move around.... do you want to go home to the Marina?That way, you don't have to get into trouble.)

Spirit magic keeps the Marina's house away from malicious people.

That said, if there was no bad intentions, I would be able to get in. Fortunately, the name Marina was quite well known in Gilm.

Having said that, entering the grounds of the Marina's house without any promises was certain to be a problem later on.

Elena is currently based in a relationship where quite a few people actually enter Marina's house.

Still, once you're inside the Marina's house, no one will be able to say anything to Ray... not at all, but it's going to be a lot fewer.

Not to mention that no one in their own room at the Marina's house would have asked Ray to make a deal in such a situation.

Is that okay?

That was Ray's thought, but he quickly dismissed it.

That shouldn't be a problem, but I remembered that I needed to check with Ray first.

It's about seeing how far the dismantling of the Crystal Dragon in your Alliance has gone.

It hasn't been that long since I showed my face to the guild.

In that sense, it was possible that the dismantling had not progressed much yet... but next time, I didn't know when I would be able to come to the Gilm, so I was sure that I should check the area myself.

Nielsen moves in his dragon robe.

I don't know if you've taken Ray's thoughts into account, but as a curious Nielsen, you want to make things as interesting as possible.

... but Nielsen can't be known yet.

If Ray goes to see the Crystal Dragon dismantled, Nielsen won't be able to see it as long as there are guild officials there.

Still, if you show them a little so they don't see you around.

Thinking so, Ray turned to the guild.

As you move through the city, you'll eventually see a guild building.

As you get closer to your guild, the number of adventurers increases proportionally.

However, many of those adventurers were real adventurers... not those who had been in the Gilm before the expansion work, but those who wanted the job mostly because the expansion work was going to be carried out.

(If this is the very thing that hides the tree, it's him in the woods.)

Many people who are not real adventurers and have become adventurers on a temporary basis to carry out the expansion work do not naturally use special armor, so many people dress easy to move around.

Many of these people wear robes to counteract the cold because it's autumn.

Of course, the robes worn by such people are not as high-end as the ones worn by real adventurers, but as sold around there.

In that way, Ray's Dragon Robe's concealment ability was very effective around the guild, in the sense that it blended into the surroundings.

However, there were adventurers in the guild who had been working in the guild before the expansion.

Some of them know Ray's Dragon Robe abilities, so they may recognize him as Ray.

(It's safe now, but if you stay here forever, you might run into someone who can see through me, so let's get to the warehouse.)

Judging by that, Ray heads toward the warehouse.

Fortunately, there were so many people near the guild that no one cared about Ray moving.

... or even if I knew where Ray was moving, I might have left him alone thinking he was going to be chased back by those who were ahead.

The Crystal Dragon is currently being dismantled in the guild's warehouse.

Of course, those who know about it will want that information somehow... or if they can get the body of the Crystal Dragon, many of them will go to the warehouse thinking that way.

In order to refuse to meet with the guild officials who were dismantling them, or to prevent them from sneaking into the warehouse and stealing Crystal Dragon materials, the guild placed the skilled adventurer as a guard in the warehouse.

That's why we're not supposed to be guarding the warehouse.

For the guild, if the Crystal Dragon material that Ray deposits here...... no, it's not the material, even the pieces of meat are stolen, the face will be completely crushed.

That's why we're supposed to be using people to guard our warehouses, who could be sent to the Trent Forest.

As Ray progressed, those judged to be the adventurers with arms from the guild blocked his way.

“Wait a minute. From here on...... or the warehouse over there is off-limits to anyone except those with permission."

The adventurers turned their serious gaze toward Ray.

I didn't think I was seeing through the concealment of the dragon robe, but I still understood that Ray's body moved his arm.

In the face of such opponents, Ray takes off the hood of his dragon robe.

When his face was revealed, the adventurers recognized Ray as Ray, and the adventurers appeared to be relieved.

Everyone here knows Ray's face as he should.

He was originally a famous figure in the Gilm, and most importantly, when the guild asked him to escort the warehouse, he said he could let Ray through.

"What the hell, Ray?" Don't surprise me. "

"Yes, I suddenly approached you... and you were definitely strong, so I was wondering what to do if you were an enemy."

Ray apologized to the adventurers for saying that.
