Legend

”That's... a very sudden development again.”

Dusker hears reports from Elena and Aaron and tells them so.

The words have a strong color of surprise.

Of course. No wonder Ray returned to the Trent Forest and suddenly two black dice appeared.

However, the report is surprising... and, although it has a gloomy expression on its face in the battle against the depression in the forest of Trent alone, there is also joy in it.

That's because only the Trent Forest is currently in full swing, and Gilm doesn't have to worry about that at the moment, and the biggest part is that other than Ray... it turns out that there's someone here who can defeat the black dice.

Elena, dispatched by the Aristocrats, is not the kind of warrior you can easily lend a hand with, unlike Ray.

However, it is very helpful to Dusker that there are people who can handle it in case of any problem.

“I think so too. I didn't expect to be attacked by black dice twice in a row."

Elena said that, but she was confident.

Elena felt confident enough to defeat the black dice with Dragon Language Magic.

However, if you defeat the black dice with Elena's Dragon Language Magic, it will also cause a lot of damage on the ray axis, so you can't use it to bypass the city, of course, but you can't use it to bypass the forest of Trent.

In fact, the Trent Forest is heavily traced by laserbreaths, which allow monsters and animals in the Trent Forest to invigorate their territorial feuds.

"It seems that the movements of the relevant people are getting bigger all of a sudden."... there was something moving for the enemy. "

"The possible possibility is that in the fight against the black chunk rather than the black dice, Ray pushed his magic into the place where it was the entrance and exit of the transfer."

So you're taking a lot of damage and you're throwing a lot of black dice at me because you don't want me to see your feet?

Having heard that, Dusker was convinced that it was highly probable.

Dusker doesn't even know what the enemy is doing in this situation.

In the first place, the opponents were those who were using the deception that was said to destroy the continent in the worst case.

It was obvious that it was difficult to predict what such people were thinking.

(Do you think we can safely use it?)

We'll be fine.

It is not strange to think that way.

It is common for us to overrely on our own power for nothing.

Only that kind of opponent... no, in a way it's natural, but I'm going to blow myself up.

If suicide bombers only kill their own people, that's fine.

But in the worst case, it is said that this continent will be destroyed.

I can't keep company for some fools.

"We need to do as much as we can about this." Even the aristocrats can help us, right? "

Dusker's question in the sense of checking.

As long as Elena is here, and we're going to the Trent Forest, it's clear that we're going to help.

However, I still want to ask again because I think that one of those things is serious.

Elena nods honestly because she understands Dusker's thoughts.

"As far as I'm concerned, I'm going to do it." I want you to give me an exact reply from my father. However, Ray... no, if you think about the existence of the bird, you probably don't have a choice. "

It was Elena who tried to give Ray her name, but she hid it in her ears.

In fact, Elena wanted to be involved in this case because, in the worst case, the depression would destroy the continent, but more than that, the thought person Ray was involved.

If Ray hadn't been involved, he wouldn't have cooperated, but if I hadn't been so proactive, I wouldn't have.

In that sense, Elena's attitude was somewhat explicit.

"... I see. It would be helpful if you could say so."

Dusker naturally noticed that Elena was trying to name Ray, but he pretended not to notice it.

If I name Ray here and Elena affirms it, I understand that there will be various... things that will be really troublesome.

Given the current situation, I don't want to be such a hassle.

Even so, the relationship between Elena and Ray does not change, so it is essentially just a matter of forwarding.

However, if Elena alone is still involved in Vihera and Marina, it is obvious that it will be extra troublesome.

(In a way, Ray is amazing. At least I don't want to be in that relationship with Marina. You can call me Mr. Ray, not Mr. Ray.)

Dusker was also attracted to the beauty of the marina when he was young, and although it is a black history, he used to imitate the stains of the proposal when he was a child.

However, at the end of the day, I didn't want to have such a relationship with Marina.

That said, it was unacceptable for Marina to be stuck with a man who wasn't even rough.

It's also true that Dusker admits it to some extent because of Ray.

"Even from the king's capital, people should be here sooner or later." If you're going to be late, it's going to be hard to come and go in winter. ”

Snow can make it difficult for the ground to progress, and the ground can freeze due to the temperature. Alternatively, there was a possibility that monsters specific to winter would emerge.

Thinking like that, if people do not come from the capital before winter, they will wait until next spring.

This is something else... for example, explaining Gilm's expansion, or if that's the case, it's perfectly fine to wait until next spring.

However, this case is very different.

If you don't come to the Gilm a little early, the damage will spread.

Now, by relying on Ray and leveraging the power of the fairy homestead, I managed to prevent the damage from being caused, but then only Ray's burden would increase.

In order to prevent that from happening, I needed to get high ranking adventurers and adventurers with aliases in Gilm to do their best.

However, in this case, the question was whether even a high-ranking adventurer or someone with an alias could defeat the black dice...

If you can't defeat it even if you ask, and the adventurer spreads the information senselessly, it's not interesting as a dusker to rule the Gilm.

Do you have any idea who can be sure that Lord Elena can defeat the enemy?

There are a few of them, but it's definitely not them.

"... by the way, what about Marina?"

Dusker makes up his old acquaintance and reveals the names of those who are now with Elena.

Marina's spirit magic was overwhelming... that's why Dusker knew it was in the realm of the Dark Elves, not the humans.

Besides that, it was natural for Dusker to think that Marina's Spirit Magic could not do anything about it.

However, Elena had a difficult expression on her face when she heard Dusker's words.

Elena knew a lot about spirit magic, and if she stayed at Marina's house, she would have seen spirit magic.

However, when I was asked if I could still do something about it with Spirit Magic.....

It was just my impression that I didn't ask Marina directly, but it was difficult.

That's what I'm telling you.

Dusker did not react to Elena's words in a special way.

In this situation, Dusker would have expected that the spirit magic would have no effect on him.

Still, it must have been a question of hope.....

“Specifically, what makes it difficult?”

"You know that spirit magic is a magic that moves by the spirits according to their names." In addition to that, if I touched the black dice, the spirits would become black dust and be absorbed. However, as I said earlier, this is only my guess. In fact, I need to ask Marina directly. "

If the Spirit also touches the dust, will it be black dust?

Dusker doesn't know that either.

A spirit is a substance... that is not the tree that the black dice touched and dusted.

Even such a spirit, if it touches it, will it really be so?

Elena was right about that. Ask Marina... I can't say anything without actually trying it out.

"Okay, next time I see Marina, let's hear it." Nevertheless... I'm glad that one of the giant slimes is likely to be finished, but there are also some troubles. "

It was unclear whether Marina's Spirit Magic would be able to cope with this.

Dusker decided to change the subject.

The contents are a huge slime that seems to be the lake's lord.

It was undoubtedly a very troublesome existence, but the fact that it kept burning meant that it could keep warm.

Especially considering that it was going to be winter, the existence of a giant slime that could warm up when it was no good was never a bad thing.

If it was too late in the winter for summer, Dusker would have been happy to see the giant slime disappear.

However, it was not very interesting for Dusker that the huge slime that was burning in the coming winter situation should disappear.

"In terms of the owner of the lake... I don't know for sure yet, but the monster called Water Wolf who nostalgically missed Ray was more powerful than before." The giant slime that used to be the lord is dead... no, it's not dead yet, but more than likely, the water wolf could be the lord of the next lake. ”

"I hope so." The worst part is that the lake monster becomes militant with the lake owner gone. When that happens, there's a lot of bad taste. "

For now, some monsters in the lake are fierce and others are generous.

It's not uncommon for researchers to be attacked by lake monsters while they research things in the lake.

The adventurers were entrusted with guarding the Nativity Tower.

Although it's not my job, as a Dusker or guild, I want to keep the lake as secret as possible.

If it is widely known that the lake has been transferred from another world, somehow we can get creatures and plants from that lake... Even if we don't go that far, some people will want to get it from the water of the other world's lake.

There is no doubt that such a situation would be very troublesome, so to avoid it, the fewer people who know about the lake, the better.

And not far from the lake, there are adventurers' campsites, and some of them are free.

When that happens, there's no choice but not to help.

However, Dusker also understands that it is impossible to hide about the lake in earnest forever.

Even if the adventurers don't know about it, some of the researchers talk to their acquaintances like this is the only story, or they talk drunk in a bar, or they talk to sleeping stories in a brothel.

Dusker understood that, but he still wanted to hide it as much as he could.

"If the water wolf becomes the lake owner, perhaps we can establish a friendly relationship." Otherwise... it's necessary to imitate Ray to show his strength, and after that, we'll decide what exactly will happen. "

Even so, Elena could easily imagine that at the time when Ray showed her strength, there was no chance of winning the lake.

It was not just Elena who thought so, but also Ara, who was sitting next to Elena, and Dusker, who was sitting opposite each other.

But... that said, Dusker can't accept all Elena's words in the affirmative.

"If the new lake master is a dangerous opponent, it's good that Ray wins." But Ray can't stay by the lake forever. Wouldn't that cause some kind of problem in Ray's absence? ”

I don't think Ray will allow such an imitation, and even if it's not as good as Ray, I don't need to worry about it as much as there is someone with the right power.

In response to Elena's words, Dusker had a convincing expression on his face for the time being.
