Legend

0536 words

2 days after traveling through Exil. The Rays, able to fly and travel in the sky at the speed of Seto, a griffon, had already come a long way from Exil.

That is...

"You're not a big bucket for bandits."

To the bandit Ajito.

When it comes to why Ray is here, it's not that hard to talk about.

When he noticed the ground noise on his journey from Exil to Guild and turned his gaze towards him, several carriages were being attacked by a group of horseback riders.

Clarify your ears and hear the men on horseback shouting anger at the carriage, judging you a bandit.

Already recognizing the bandits as beings to be exorcised, Ray succeeds in defeating most of the bandits who were attacking the carriage as they unleashed the magic of flying slaughter and flames from the air.

The bandits, in addition to those on horseback, were hiding in the direction of the merchants, but there was no escape from Seto's sight, hearing, or sense of smell, and this one would be lightly wiped out by an attack that could be described as a carpet bombardment from over Ray,

Later, after the carriage turned out to be a merchant squad, Ray interrogated the surviving bandit and forced him to throw up his Ajit location to storm Ajit with his merchant squad escort.

As for Ray, I was one person... more precisely myself and Seto alone could exterminate enough bandits, so I didn't need reinforcements... but I was nevertheless begged by merchants and escorts to return the favor and keep the bandits out, and it was also a pain in the ass to say no and bring them in as they were.

It must have also affected knowing that most of the bandits attacked by interrogation were now at war, and that only a few left in Asia.

He said he might get the treasure the bandits have.

Ray thought it was okay for the escort to throw out the escort, but the merchants, who were also the key escorts, agreed, and advised him that he could not be held responsible for anything.

In the end, only a few of them remained in the voicemail as per the information obtained in the interrogation, and your escorts caught you lightly. They're going to sell them off as slaves in the city where they're headed, just like the living ones who were attacking the merchants.

Of course, the price was already paid to Ray, including a few gratuities.

"No, no, I'm not. I thought it was quite a bandit group of this size."

A merchant with a full smile tells Ray so.

If we try to be merchants, we can legally put the treasure that the bandits were accumulating in their possessions without almost any difficulty, so I guess that's not something that interests Ray.

"You're gonna want me first, as promised, okay?

"Yeah, go ahead. However, if you could think about this for a moment..."

Even though it's hard to say, I guess I deserve to be a merchant around saying exactly what I want when it comes to my requests.

"Don't worry. As I was saying, there's hardly any treasure left here that I want. You get the rest instead of the nuisance."

Tell him so, look over where it should be described as a warehouse rather than a treasure trove...

Sometimes they weren't originally that big of a bandit group, and most of them were leather bags with copper coins and silver coins, or clothing, dishes, weapons, and protective equipment.

Ray, who sees them, unhesitatingly stores the spear in the mistering towards the place where the weapon is gathered and placed.

As for the remnants for throwing, they were not replenished at the weapons stores and blacksmiths in Exil, but they were only good if they could afford it.

At the same time, collect all dagger types.

This is a consumable used to strip away monster material.

Most of all, even spears and daggers don't have that much stock.

It was more natural in a way than the rest of what the bandits were using.

"Can we just do this? Do as you please with the rest."

"... Are you sure? The..."

I saw them retrieving the death size when the bandits attacked me, but once again the merchants were blinded by the presence of an item box shown in front of them like this. In that, he returns to me at Ray's call and asks as one of the merchants turns his gaze to a leather bag containing chirali and copper and silver coins.

If we were merchants, Ray, the solo adventurer, just thought the first choice was gold.

But only spears and daggers were chosen.

He asks me somewhere flashy about it, but nods that there is no problem.

I don't have that much trouble with the money.

The merchants' gaze at the words from Ray's mouth was half impressive and half frightening.

If you try to be a merchant, gold is not enough to satisfy you. The more, the better.

Most of all, even if I get money, I don't imitate working wrongdoings.

Less often, the merchants on this occasion have such common sense.

But if you try Ray, your nostalgia is very warm with the money you received from selling materials and demonic stones obtained in the dungeons of Eggzil, or by passing the bodies and information of unusual species to Bosc.

"Okay, then that's it. So... what will Lord Ray do now?

"What do you mean?

I don't know what the question means, Ray just asks.

"So, which way are we going to go... if the direction we're going to go is with us, why don't you act with us?"

To that word, the other merchants just nod that it's a good idea.

Those employed as escorts had a slightly dissatisfied look on their faces.

"... oh"

With that word, Ray observes the merchants' prospects.

With the power to sweep away the bandits from the sky, the safety of the journey was promised.

I just let one and one of them prove that all the people they hire as escorts are outnumbered, and if you try being merchants, you want to hire Ray as an escort, even if it's not.

"Of course I will pay you the right reward. What do you think?

To such an inquiry, Ray shakes his head beside him in silence.

"I'm sorry, but I'm still in a hurry. It was only a coincidence that I helped this time."

"Can't you do something about it?

"Sorry, I want to get to the Guild as soon as possible."

Returning just that briefly, the merchant who was talking to Ray eventually sighs small.

"Okay, if you're in such a hurry, it's no use saying anything more.... Lord Ray, thank you for helping us this time. As head of the merchant corps, I'd like to thank you."

If you bow your head deeply as you say so, the other merchants and escorts will also bow their heads according to it.

With that word on his back, Ray walks out of the cave that was used as a bandit's aside.

"Grrrrrrrr?"

Wings flapping, Seto turns around and throats as he flies through the bright blue skies of summer.

Losing the favor of being hungry, which is floating in its circular eyes, Ray takes the dried meat out of the mysteries and gives it to Seto.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr"

Wings that let you wing while delightfully eating dried meat.

"You're clever."

Look behind you. But there's no discrepancy whatsoever in Seto's flight speed or path.

I guess it's an action because I understand that flying as an instinct.

Think that way while stroking Seto's neck somehow, Ray.

Was that pleasing, Seto wings loudly as he rattles high, further increasing his flight speed?

Ray's mouth has a small grin as he watches some monster who was on the ground go into the woods to escape as soon as he hears Seto squeal.

Summer is passing, and it's gradually heading into autumn, but summer is still summer.

Even as mornings and nights become somewhat cooler, the intense sun falls during the day unchanged.

In the distant skies there are entrance clouds that make the season feel smudged and ray.

Thanks to the dragon robe, the heat is barely felt, and we make sure to shortcut the winding streets… so that eventually we see one city under our eyes.

Yes, the only city on the border, the Gilm.

"Grrrrrrrrrr!

Seto sounds happily high at the appearance of the guild he hasn't seen in a long time.

Several types of monsters who heard the voice on the ground flee back to the nearby woods, deciding that they would never have a chance of winning if attacked.

Some of the monsters were fighting each other to eat each other, but as soon as they heard Seto's voice, each ran away in a different direction.

... The biggest problem is still travelers, merchants and adventurers who were going down the street.

Most of them knew the existence of Seto, who was close to Gilm's mascot character, but some of them came to Gilm recently, or saw Griffon for the first time… more precisely.

Those who know what's going on where those people are rushing to escape are asked, and that's the border and the voice of surprise.

I guess I can properly recognize Ceto flying high in the sky as Ceto, or I can recognize Ceto as Ceto by its ringing, because the existence of Ceto is still so widely known in the Guild.

Whatever it is, Seto wings as it is and lands a little further from the guild before heading to the main entrance.

I wish I had descended directly to the main entrance if it were meant to be, but I had tried to be careful since I had been noticed of the area before.

"Oh, I knew it. Isn't that Seto and Ray? It's been a long time."

It was also one of Ray's familiar guards who turned his gaze to Ray and Seto as he walked in and told him so with a grin.

"'Cause I was just going to Eggzil"

"Eggzill... was definitely a labyrinth city. I heard you talking, but you've never actually been there. Is the purpose a dungeon?

"That's the place. I've got something for you."

Ray offers guild cards while having a conversation.

The guards will also continue the process of entering the city after receiving it just because they are used to it.

"What's wrong with Langa more than that?

When asked about the absence of a guard captain who had been treated half as close to his own exclusive, the guard would try to imitate the cleverness of flattering his shoulders while proceeding.

"If you're the captain, I've been going to Abu Ero for about three days."

"Abu Ero?

Tilt your neck to the fact that the name of the city has emerged closest to Gilm, while encouraging ahead.

"Oh. I hear there's a little troublesome bandits out there for everything. As a reinforcement, a few knights were sent from the guards, starting with Captain Langa."

"Bandits, huh? You don't have to worry too much about bandits around the Guild."

"Sure. If you have the strength to bandit around here, you can usually make money as an adventurer. Hey, look. Alliance Cards and Devil's Neck Decorations"

Guilds on the edge naturally have a lot of monsters for that matter. No, there are many types, not just numbers.

Even half-armed adventurers will not want to play wild boarding outside the Guild.

Store the returned guild card into Mystering after the process is complete and hang the Devil's neck on Seto's neck.

When it's over, we dive into the main entrance with Seto and go inside the guild.

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Go to the stall near the main entrance so that Seto will urge you to howl your throat when you are hungry...

"Oh, isn't that Seto? And Ray. Are you back? What do you say, today's skewers are delicious."

Such a voice of the stall owner echoes around, and many gazes are directed at Ray and Seto.

"Oh, it's Seto"

"Sure, it's Seto"

"You're still adorable."

"I haven't seen Seto lately, but I finally got to see Seto..."

"Seto, do you want a sandwich?

"Oh, there's Ray too"

"True."

"Wow, Seto, that's Seto. Hey, let's play."

"Oh, that's sloppy. Even I want to play with Seto."

Talking that way, many passers-by, stall owners, or adventurers and children traveling through the vicinity come together.

... Most of its aims are Ceto, and Ray's treatment aside is probably natural given Ceto's position in the Guild.

But that's why it's true that this kind of noise in front of the front gate would get in the way of other passers-by...

"Look, don't get too crowded there. Seto didn't run away, so he scattered it."

That's what the guards at the front gate paid attention to.

People who, unfortunately, listen to it honestly and scatter it.

Of course many people do not just scatter, but give the dried meat they had, sandwiches and skewers they had already bought to give Ceto in the quick ones.

In an instant, Ray went to the wheat pavilion at dusk as an inn tonight, listening to Seto roar his throat happily after receiving tons of food.
