Legend

"I also thought when I was heading to the mountains or climbing... I knew Seto was different"

Fron tells as he walks down the street. After descending the mountain, he continued to walk with little rest, and in his sight he already saw the city of Gilm.

It is still about 3 to 4 pm in terms of time and is a particularly fine time to apply for a visit to the Lords.

When asked to head to the mountain, it was a trip to conserve health to attack the harpy and climb the mountain at night. But this time I heard Brasso's opinion that we should hurry back as fast as possible to the city of Gilm, and the journey took about 10 hours to shrink to about 6 to 7 hours because we proceeded at such a rate that we could say force.

"Okay, so when we get to the city first, is that an guild? Or the Lords' Hall?

Ray speaks to Brasso as he walks next door as he goes down the street.

After a few thoughts on the question, Brasso opens his mouth.

"Right. I figured this place should be the first place to report to the Lords. Even after reporting to the Alliance, there's a chance that they won't have time to meet with Uncle Larks Borderline."

"I agree with that, too. Besides, I'm not too happy that you're still worried about me after I've made the report of the request's termination a guild."

I agree with those two words with Ray himself nodding small as if he had no particular objection.

And as I walk down the street talking like that, I eventually get to the main entrance of the city of Gilm, where I do the procedure of entering the city with the Langa and the others as usual before entering the city.

"Well, I rely on Ray for knowing the lord after... can you go?

Ray nods at Fron's words and takes the path he has passed several times to walk towards those with the Lords' Hall.

I met the knights who had been around several times along the way, but I arrived at the Lords' Hall without being particularly alarmed as to whether it was already Ray's business card replacement with Griffon's Ceto.

Exactly as I approach the front of the gate, I get a gaze from the two gatekeepers, but Ray himself comes close without looking concerned.

Behind that, there are two people, Fron and Brasso, who look uncomfortable.

Whatever you call a skilled adventurer, you're a rank C adventurer. It's not strange that Rank B or A would have face-to-face knowledge of a request for nomination from a lord, but I don't have that experience with the two of us right now. No, as of Rank D, it's more unusual for Ray to be eyed by Dusker, who is also Lord of the City of Guild, to make a nomination request.

Ray speaks to one of the gatekeepers as he leans his neck inside to see those two.

"It's Ray the Rank D Adventurer. I need to talk to Uncle Larks Borderline right away, so I'd like to ask him to see me."

"... I do know about you. You look familiar to the Griffon you're taking with you. But I want you to meet Lord Dusker, the lord of this city, and you know how hard it is to say yes?

To the gatekeeper's words, Fron and Brasso sigh all the time wondering after all.

I was hoping for a connection between Ray and Larks Borderline Uncle, but I still wondered if that was a sweet prospect.

But Ray takes a chunk of the flame ore that Brasso mined in the cave from the mystering that is nestled in his arms, ignoring the two behind him like that.

"Whoa!

Even as a gatekeeper, I guess this was just an unexpected event. Step back for a few steps as you raise your voice of surprise and open your mouth.

"This is..."

"Flame ore, as you can see. This time, I went on a crusade with the two behind me on a request to go where Harpy was nesting... you know the story around there?

"Ah, oh. It's a mine that makes a huge contribution to the city of Guild. Of course I know."

Naturally, as someone who serves the Larks Borderline Uncle, the gatekeeper snorts all the time. Turn your gaze toward the flame ore you have with a grin against that gatekeeper.

"Find a ton of ore where that harpy nest was. This flame ore was also obtained there. I thought I should report it as soon as possible..."

People who have just brought content that directly connects to the proceeds of the territory… Nor does that translate into returning the person that their serving lords want to take in, and the gatekeeper who was talking to Ray speaks to his colleagues standing next to him by giving them the flame ore they received from Ray.

"I'm sorry, but can you give the captain a report?

"Okay."

Nodding small, he leaves the gatekeeper he's been talking to the Rays on the spot and enters the Lords' Hall with flaming ore.

"I'm sorry, but I need you to wait here until I hear back from you. As important as this is, even our captain won't be able to judge so lightly."

"Oh. I'm sorry I couldn't."

Return to the gatekeeper and turn your gaze to Fron and Brasso, who are showing some restlessness.

"Hey, what's going on?

"No, what's wrong with you! You know, this is the Lords' Hall!? I mean, he's a nobleman!? How can you be so calm!

Ray yells at Fron so he doesn't sound like a gatekeeper, but gets it flat.

I grew up in a world that had absolutely nothing to do with nobility, so when they say nobility, they don't come up with a heart of respect.

And most importantly, unlike the less aristocratic Dusker, it would also be significant to have known Elaine and the others. Custe, arguably a typical nobleman, or Elaine, a courtier of the Duke of Keller, who is also a central figure of the aristocracy. As for Ara, I didn't remember the impression that she was so aristocratic because she was too drunk with Elaine.

"I've been here a few times before. I guess so."

Put it in your mouth for now, ray to deceive.

And while the gatekeeper waits, he tells stories about no other love, or strokes Seto, and eventually the gatekeeper earlier returns from the hall.

"You guys, Master Dusker is going to see you. I need you inside right now."

"You put a lot of work into it."

Thankfully, he bows his head down small and walks into the hall with two people, Fron and Brasso, who look nervous somewhere.

With regard to Seto, I asked one of the gatekeepers to take me to the stables.

"... Hey, Ray. Are you sure?

Fron asks as he drops off the back of such a ceto, but Ray nods back without incident.

"Oh, there won't be a problem. Seto's been here before with me."

"I hope that's what you say."

Going into the hall whining, a butler, who looked like he was in his 50s, was waiting for the Rays.

"Let me show you under my husband, thank you"

He followed after a butler who gracefully thanked him, and eventually arrived at the office where Ray had been several times before.

Ray smiles internally as he feels himself to be blinded by two of Fron and Brasso to that door with a sculpture that works as if it were a work of art.

The butler smiles and uses the knocker next to the door.

"Dear Dusker, I have brought the Rays with me."

"Oh, I don't mind. Get in."

The door opens with that voice, and Ray, who entered the room, bows his head to Dusker, who is sitting at the desk and looking at himself.

"Long time no see, Master Dusker"

"Oh, it's certainly been a long time.... Nevertheless, you often don't bring commotion. Most of all, if it's a disturbance like this one, you're welcome here."

Dusker turns his gaze toward the flame ore that is placed on the table of the reception set for visitors, with a nibbling grin.

While complaining in his mouth, there was a delightful grin on his face.

But that won't be impossible either. It's not strange to say that Harpy, the cause that was somehow rendering the mine unusable, was exorcised, because it brought a huge flame ore that I hadn't even seen.

Sit down and have some tea.

"Yes, excuse me"

The three Rays sit back on the sofa for visitors while Dusker moves on. Then the butler, who led me this far as if I had been waiting for it, walks into the office again and lines up a cup of tea in front of the Rays.

A gentle thank you carries the tea to his mouth, and eventually Dusker opens his mouth when he sees that both Brasso and Fron have settled down.

"What I heard was that Harpy found this flame ore from the cave he was nesting in... is that a fact?

Ray turns his gaze to Brasso on Dusker's words. But Brasso just turns his gaze on you.

A small sigh of sigh at the look of it, Ray opening his mouth.

"Not exactly. He's right to say that the flame magic I used last night reacted with the ore that was in the cave and turned it into a flame ore..."

"... you?

"Yes, but this seems to be due to a kind of miraculous probability that a number of coincidences have overlapped. So it's a little hard to tell you to do the same imitation again and make flame ore...... or first of all it wouldn't be possible"

"Right. The city of Guild would also be a little richer if the flame ore were to be produced steadily. So, you heard the explanation about the flame ore from the dwarf there?

Dusker's gaze is directed towards Brasso. Then you decided it was inevitable any more, and Brasso opened his mouth when he put the cup he had over the saucer.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not very good at talking to nobles out of Dwarves, so it would be helpful if you missed it."

"I don't mind. I don't care that much about manners myself. If only you could show the least courtesy in public."

Brasso starts explaining how calm he is when he finally relieves himself with that word of Dusker.

"It is immediately apparent that the flame ore has barely passed since it was made by those who are familiar with it at all. And it was Harpy's nest that found that flame ore. If you could tell that far, it wouldn't be that hard to find out who was normally asked to crusade for Harpy by examining the guild. Especially if that is the lord of this city of Gilm, the Larks Borderline Uncle. Therefore, I came to report that I thought it would be better for Kun, etc. to talk before the information was weirdly distorted and arrived at the lord.... Fortunately, because Ray meant he had an acquaintance with the lord"

"... I see. You decided that Ray would be tortured to make flame ore."

"Yes, because it actually produces flame ore once. If you don't know anything, you won't believe that you can't do what you did once a second time. I'm relieved the lord seems to understand the area."

To Brasso's words, Dusker puts his hand on his chin and thinks of something. And eventually I open my mouth.

"It's a real coincidence that this flame ore was made, isn't it?

"Yes, let me assure you that as a dwarf."

"... ok. I promise I won't mention Ray any more in this matter. So, do you have any idea how many flame ores were made in that cave?

To that question from Dusker, Brasso answers for a few seconds... no, there was a few dozen seconds between them.

"Almost everything at the entrance to the cave…"

"... what?

"Ray threw in the magic of the flames, near the entrance to the cave. All of that is turned into flame ore. Probably equivalent in quantity. That's enough to change the color of your eyes if you're an alchemist and a blacksmith. And..."

An incredible amount of flame ore that came out of nowhere. Brasso, who speaks of its value but goes on to talk about it even more.

"And? You still got something?

"Yes. Behind the cave. Where Harpy was nesting, there were massive windstone crystals growing like stalactites from the ceiling, and there were other emerostic ores."

"... is that a fact?

"We have confirmed Ray and Fron as well as Nong, so I wondered if there was any doubt. That amount of magic metal, I can't even imagine how much it would cost. It wasn't just about the flame ore, it was about it, so I hurried to ask the lord to see me."

"... I see. You kept me well informed. We'll send someone close to the area with the Knights to find out about the caves and the dots as soon as possible. And naturally, what about the others?

To the gaze from Dusker, Ray, Brasso and Fron nod silently.

"Yes, I'm not leaking it to anyone"

"Right. … thank you. Anyway, as you know, it's on the border that this city of Gilm is located. Now we'll be able to develop one more."

That's what he said, and whoever was in Uncle Borderline's position bowed his head to the Rays.

"I'll divide everything up over here on this matter in the future. If you don't want to get involved in the extra commotion, keep your mouth shut."

Three people nodding silently at Dusker's words. Open your mouth again as you see how it goes.

"Well, is there anything else? If it doesn't, I'm going to get people to a mountain with a mine soon."

"... a little, okay"

Ray stops Dusker from trying to cut the story off.

Brasso and Fron have a slight eye on Ray, who imitated him to block the nobility story, but Ray opens his mouth regardless.

"I don't really have much to do with this one, but a man named Bornter, actually, the meeting of the Azot Chamber of Commerce, recently told me to give away the magic items and cetos I have. Have you heard anything about that?

"... no. You have no idea. Is that true? No matter how many meetings of the Azotto Chamber of Commerce you can call adventurers' possessions, you can't imitate taking away demons and magic items."

"Yes. I hear about that area in my guild. He said he seemed like a man with all sorts of bad rumors.... I said no on the matter once, but maybe they'll still come and set something up without giving up. In that case, it could be a little noise in the city of Gilm."

Dusker frowns at Ray's words. I've heard a lot of bad rumors about Volnter even in Dusker, but it's a kind of nest that couldn't be eliminated by paying taxes and rooting. It's also like if you do poorly, it could lead the city of Gilm to death.

"Okay. Let's tell the Azotto Chamber of Commerce a lot about the area as a Lordship Authority. If it's still forceful behavior without punishment, do what you think it is. Fortunately, there was a better brother there than Volnter. You don't have to worry about the inheritance."

Ray, realizing what Dusker's words suggested, squeezed his expression and nodded small.
