Legend

"... Huh?

When I was called by the original lord of the city of Barr and led to the lord's hall to face the person who called me, the next moment the nobleman turned upside down and lost his mind. I guess that would happen if Ray showed the facts he experienced in the end.

……

And that was the same with a few of the escorts who were in the room. I didn't really know how to move for a moment.

The first of them to take action was Cormish, who brought Ray to this occasion.

"Dear Soleil, are you okay?

He says the Lord he serves is losing his mind, but he doesn't look worried at all. No, I rather sound like a bottom-of-heart pain in the ass.

And with that voice, the escorts returned to me, and rushed over to Soleil.

It was Ray watching such an exchange, but eventually one of the escorts turns his bewildered gaze to Ray somewhere.

"Hey, you. Did you do something to Master Soleil?

Try it as an escort and we'll be confused as soon as our Lord sees the person in front of us. No wonder I assumed the cause was on Ray. But the escorts have been watching Ray since he walked in, so even if something happens, we can't assume that we'll overlook it. He is wearing a robe, but he is not wearing a hood because he has just met a nobleman. For this reason, I could see a face that could be described as a child's face and a luxurious body. How did such a child confuse their Lord, who in any case only seemed to be to the extent of an apprentice wizard? Some of those thoughts of the escorts, the inquiry itself was not so harsh. And naturally it's wet clothes if you take it to Ray.

"No, nothing particularly about this. I mean, this happened as soon as I walked into this room, right? What do you think I can do?

An escort who unintentionally agrees with that word of Ray. But if the man in front of you hadn't actually done something, he wouldn't have understood Soleil's actions.

"It certainly could be. But..."

Saying so, he was an escort trying to go on with the words further, but Cormish's hand is placed from behind his shoulder.

"Calm down, Master Soleil is just losing his mind. Soon you will return to consciousness. Then you should listen to me.... Just so you know, it's not really your fault, is it?

"Oh."

Ray snorts at Cormish's words.

Then it means Soleil passed out for unexplained reasons, and there starts to be some tingling atmosphere around him.

Try the escorts, even if this is not Ray's fault... no, in that case, we were alert to the surroundings that someone, or their husband, might have been attacked by some other means, and Ray was similarly unable to grasp the meaning of the action Soleil took the next moment when he exchanged words face to face. But...

(... ah)

Ray remembers how Soleil looked at that time, somewhat visionary. the presence of a wizard who had lost his hips the moment he saw himself during a commotion with Bornter. Were you sure you didn't react the way you did then? And the information I heard from three people -- the Sasanas, the Dear Logo, and the Seyce -- was that Soleil was magically indulging. That is.

Do you have the ability to sense magic?

If you are indulging in magic, it is not strange to have such abilities. No, Ning Ro. Naturally. Having so decided, Ray turns his gaze to Soleil, who is resting on the couch.

And whether one of the escorts used some kind of magic, he lodges a warm light in his hand and lets it touch Soleil's head.

About 30 seconds after the light that was touching my head disappeared. Eventually Soleil's eyes opened.

I guess I don't know my current state. Look around and open your mouth.

"... hmm? What's wrong with me?

"Master Soleil panicked as soon as he saw him and fell into the couch."

I guess it was my passion as an escort that I fell into the couch and hit my head on the floor and didn't tell him I fainted. As Ray watches as he thinks he's going to be, he eventually turns to the thin eyes like Soleil's fox.

"I see. Did I pass out? Sure, it wouldn't be strange to panic if you suddenly put the bearer of this magic into your sight."

Ray reacts with Pickle to that word that was squealed in his mouth alone.

(You put me in your sight, did you? I mean, that's...)

Past Ray's brain whining inside is Luno's figure, who has faced each other several times in the guild. Rank C Adventurer and a fairly high-ranking adventurer yet working solo. The biggest reason for this was because of the power of the demonic eye to see the magic directly.

And given the content of the little whiny words now, it was easy to predict that Soleil, who was alert to himself on the couch... and still looked at him intriguingly, probably had a demonic eye similar to it.

"You're Ray, right?

I'm not sure for a few seconds what attitude to take to that inquiry… I choose an outward-looking language that I'm not used to considering being a baron and the boss of the Deer logo.

"Definitely. Ray, adventurer of the city of Gilm."

Needless to say, I'm not an adventurer in this city, but Soleil looks as intriguing as ever as he doesn't notice it.

"... Hmm. Surely with all this magic, is it possible? No, but the dungeon's nucleus hasn't grown yet."

And when he suddenly rises from the couch where he was sitting, he enthusiastically begins to look at Ray.

"Hmm? You said Ray. That robe you're wearing, it's a pretty high level magic item, isn't it?

"Huh!?

To the words of Soleil, an unexpectedly breathtaking ray.

I had understood from previous actions that I had demonic eyes that looked at magic, but I still didn't expect to see the effect of cover-ups.

(I heard you were an armed wizard, but you seem to be a much higher level wizard than I expected)

Ray groans inside and turns his subtly alarming gaze toward Soleil.

I guess Ray felt the signs of surprise. Soleil opens his mouth with a grin.

"Was it surprising that you were spotted?

"No, because I heard you would stand on your arm as a wizard"

"Well, you are. Certainly I am proud to say that as a wizard I stand up quite well. I mean, if you pull magic out of me, you're nothing more than a Taoist nobleman."

……

Exactly. There's no reason to agree to that word for a detour, Ray, but let it pass silently.

But Soleil continues the conversation with a grin without even seeing how Ray is doing.

"Anyway, thanks to being too passionate about magic research and skipping the job of ruling this city, I've had a lot of trouble with distribution, financial paperwork, and so on. Thanks to you, I'm supposed to be dropped off the role of lord of this city by the man above me who's taking care of me.... No, it's fine because as far as I'm concerned, I can be passionate about magic research."

(... I see. Typical research. It's stupid. Besides, there must be a lot of talent in that area. Surely I can't help throwing out my job as an uninterested lord)

"So, yeah. Dungeon nucleus. Is it true that it existed in this city?

I guess I finally got to the point. Soleil pointing a caged gaze of heat at the fox-like thin eyes, still characteristic of the researcher, to Ray.

While feeling the meaning of that gaze, Ray nods honestly.

Somehow there was a nucleus of the dungeon because I knew that Sasanas had already been reported to the Deer logo and Seyce, and even if I hid it here, I decided it was harmless and without profit.

"Yes, even with regard to the demonic fever that was prevalent in this city some time ago, it was probably caused by the nucleus of the dungeon"

"Damn, I knew it. I couldn't believe it when I heard this report..."

Exactly, he had to believe Ray's words that actually confirmed the nucleus of the dungeon with those eyes.

There, it would have been obvious that Ray's immense magic power also had something to do with it. Someone with this kind of magic is moving.

"But why did you imitate destroying the nucleus of the dungeon in a short circuit? As for the dungeons, there are still a large number of unknown parts. No, it turns out to be limitless. That's why you have the item box, so maybe you could have temporarily taken the nucleus of the dungeon into it?

"The nucleus of the dungeon was embedded in the ground of a storage facility east of the city. When you take it out, you have to do something about the buried ground of the nucleus, and then whatever happens, it can irritate the nucleus. Considering what happens as a result, you were a little scared and couldn't do it the way you did."

"But that's just speculation, isn't it?

To Soleil's point, Ray shakes his head small.

"There is certainly a chance that nothing will happen. But in fact, there was a commotion that created a slime that spewed out purple mist. Because that action by the nucleus of the dungeon may have caused us to discover it in the middle of nowhere and approach it."

"... I see. That could be possible, given the magnitude of the magic that I can feel from you.... By the way, I stopped by the east vault before I got here, but there wasn't a single fragment of the dungeon's nucleus left. You know what this means?

To that question, Ray reacts with a pickle in his heart.

Regarding the nucleus of the dungeon, Ray's death size disappeared the moment it was destroyed. That's just like when you absorbed the monster's demon stone.

But naturally I can't say that, and I open my mouth by pretending to think for a few seconds.

"The Alliance Master was blowing up the roof with a tornado to collect the fog that was accumulating inside the storage area. Wasn't that when the fragments of the dungeon's nucleus were also blown up somewhere, or sucked into the tornado?... but in the latter case, I think they've been wiped out by my magic."

"I would have liked a fragment of the dungeon's nucleus."

He lowers his back to the couch, sighing at Ray's words, making sure to cover his eyes with his hands and exhale.

Hold still for 5 minutes. Still seeing no movement in particular, Ray eventually asks Soleil.

"Can I go back to the inn if I don't have any business anymore? I'm tired of everything yesterday."

……

Soleil is enthusiastic about his thoughts without even noticing Ray's question like that.

I guess this is why I took Ray and felt like a research idiot.

"Uh, well, isn't that okay? If you need anything else, I might call you."

Cormish tells him lazily, and Ray reaches for the door again... and hears the noise of a dota and running down the hallway approaching rapidly, and takes a few steps from the door.

As we gather Ray's gaze at what we're doing and the guards, starting with Cormish...

Gun, it makes the noise and it opens forcefully as if the door is going to be punched.

"Baron Soleil! I told you all that you can't go out to the city of Barr, what are you doing on your own!

The person, who has entered the room with momentum, sits on the couch and yells out loud at Soleil, who is passionate about thinking.

Wear leather armor made of monster skin so as not to obstruct movement, huge battle ax on its back. Only for a moment, but when I saw that look, Ray was breathtaking by accident. Or maybe I was mistaken for a moment, but it's definitely the Battleax that looks familiar being carried on the back of that person yelling at Soleil. There is also the possibility that someone else's likeness is possible if it's just the face, but there will be unlimited chances that someone else's likeness has a magic item that I once owned.

So Ray speaks to the person in front of him. To someone carrying a well-maintained and used Power Axe.

"Ara, is that you?

"Roughly. Baron Soleil has the strength to be a wizard, so he deserves it... Huh?

A woman who turns around unexpectedly interrupting a sermon to Soleil by a voice hung from behind her back. And when you capture Ray in that sight, you dye your face to a stunning color as if you saw something incredible as well.

"Les, Lord Ray!? Why are you here?

The person, who opened his mouth in a flash, was definitely Earla Scarley, who became familiar with Ray when he was previously hired on a nomination request.
