Legend

Spend some time watching the Demon Stone and it's not weird to sleep in another few hours if it's usual. Ray was getting some kind of visit in his room.

I understand that for once Ray is also an adventurer whose name is quite widespread.

That's why it's still a little early to call this kind of a late night...... but I knew it wasn't strange for people to visit me that much of the time.

(Any sudden requests... or the guy who tries to knock me down and raise my name, or something else? Well, who would that be?

No matter what happens, the least you can do is approach the door and speak to the person behind it.

"What can I do for you?

"I have a confidential story to tell. Would you mind letting me in the room, if I could?

The voice was not familiar to Ray either.

Open the door, thinking perhaps the first person you meet….

And standing in front of Ray, who opened the door, was, naturally, an unrecognizable figure.

"... who?

The mid to mid twenties man gives a deep salute to the words that came out of Ray's mouth.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Ray. My name is Siest. Actually, one of you brought a suggestion for Mr. Ray. Would you mind listening to me, if I could?

"... well, fine. Right, what's in the room and can I talk to you in the dining room?

"Dining room, is it? If I could, I wouldn't want anyone else to talk to me."

"That being said. So, elsewhere, it's just my room, huh?

"Yeah, I don't mind. No, it would be helpful if you could do that. I thought it would be a great pleasure to have you in that famous Ray's room."

Ray enters the room with a mixed gaze as he turns to his delightful sight.

Raising the first man you meet into your room is unintentional.

However, in Ray's case, if he was the majority opponent, he was confident that he could deal with it immediately, even if something unforeseen happened.

That is also if the opponent is not like the noise of the Rank S adventurer who fought in the Bestian Empire.

"Okay, then let's go in. I want you to sit in that chair because there's nothing like a raw hatred and a couch"

Ray invites in the siest and tells him himself as he hips down on the bed.

It was a siest that made his expression strong for a moment, but the next moment he turns it off beautifully and opens his mouth.

"Thank you, then, if you'll excuse me."

Tell him so, and Siest entering the room, as Ray put it, sits in a chair with only one in the room.

Confirming that, Ray opens his mouth quickly.

"So, not so late at night... what are you doing here at this hour? Besides, come to me for the first time."

"Yep. Actually, Mr. Ray is the keeper of the duel in three days..."

That's all I've said, Ray subtly has a bad feeling.

But I don't put it in my mouth, and I urge you to talk with my gaze.

"He says he wants to pull Mr. Ray out. In addition, if you pay a few white gold coins as a payment fee,"

"I knew it."

Somehow such words leak from Ray's mouth with a sigh into the content of the story as expected.

I guess Siest, hearing Ray's words like that, didn't know what that meant. He had a strange look on his face and his gaze at Ray.

"I mean, you realized it would be impossible to beat me if the duel actually took place, and you tried to acquire it, right? It's about white gold, too."

White gold coins are definitely expensive currencies if you try to be ordinary people.

But if you try to be an adventurer with more than some strength, it's never scarce.

And most importantly, there are quite a few white gold coins in the mysteries.

In the newest part, the gamelion hunt was held the other day.

That's when Ray came on...... more precisely from the adventurers who tried to steal the former guerrilla carriage, winding up white gold coins.

For Ray like that, being told to betray Muet with a few white gold coins was a pre laughing matter.

"In the first place, if we win this duel, half of the property of the Count Eriel family will belong to the Baron Sisne family. Then I don't think the amount paid to me for winning a duel is about a few pieces of white gold?

"It's...... but they're with Count Eriel's house, right? There are many inconveniences for Ray if he keeps fighting..."

Yes. To Siest, who tried to say so, Ray smiles and opens his mouth.

"You think there is? I don't know what to say, but I don't think it's inconvenient for me as long as I'm in the Guild. If we go to Wang Du, we won't talk about it. And if you can't really do anything about it, it can also mean that it will disappear from the kingdom of Mireana. Whatever you say, I'm a light adventurer."

It wouldn't be that easy to talk about exactly.

In the first place, if it meant running away from the Kingdom of Mireana, it was certain that it would be difficult to meet Elaine as well.

Not every night, but I talk to Elaine there frequently in the orb against me, but still, if I can see her, it's natural that I want to see her in person.

But Siest, who did not know it, could only be surprised at Ray's mouth when he abandoned the country lightly.

"Well, you're done talking. Then go home. I can imagine who your husband is now, but I dare not pry."

I've told him to serve in the keepsake, so I could easily imagine whose hand Siest was.

But I knew it would be a hassle if I told him that, so Ray recieves it.

(Even so, I didn't expect you to come first to acquire me. I thought we were going to launch a raid on the Baron Cisne family... misread me?

Looking at the man in front of her, Ray has the complicated thought of being sorry while relieved by his misreading.

Precisely because we have already carried out the raid and you failed, we went to the means of acquiring Ray, but Ray never finds out about it.

"Ho, are you serious!? This is Count Eriel's house, right? He is an aristocrat with a certain force among the Kings. Even so, when you refuse a request from that next owner!?

I guess I couldn't believe the words out of Ray's mouth enough. Siest groans as she opens her eyes wide.

But what Ray gave back against such a sist was a fierce grin.

"What do you mean, I have to bother serving a guy like that? If you want to follow me, you show your power, not your parents' power or the money in your house. That way there's nothing I wouldn't even think about doing.... Most vessels won't be able to hold the water named me."

With a smile on his face, Ray could not imagine a scene in which he would serve a nobleman.

In the first place, I often act alone, which can also be taken as arbitrary. I am only the first being to move effectively as an individual. I also strongly believe that if I move to match the actions of other knights, I will not be able to fully demonstrate my abilities.

"... ok. If that's what you're going to say, excuse me around here. But understand that opportunities like this are not normally possible."

Pointing his gaze at the person in front of him as if he had no understanding at all, Siest gets up from the chair and gives a bowl of grace and leaves the room.

Ray, who dropped it off, falls asleep on the bed when he takes off his dragon robe and stores it in the misting.

"Well, you tried to buy me, which means you figured out who I was. I feel like I'm moving a little slow."

Thinking about his behavior from tomorrow, Ray took the book out of the mysteries and started reading it.

"... what? Say it again."

What sounds inside the room is words like they don't know what they're talking about.

Listening to the words, Furtos wipes with his clothes the sweat that rises on his face.

The rising sweat is due to tension, not because of the magic items of heating in the room.

"Ray refused to serve Master Keep," he said.

"... what is that? What the hell is going on? I'm the next owner of Count Eriel's house, right? So you're telling me that just an adventurous affair turns me down? What are you doing with that guy?

A fist waved with anger, slapping the desk.

The skin was torn and the blood flowed, but the keepsake screams as if he had felt no pain at all due to excitement.

"I'm kidding. Ahhh! This guy says I'm gonna let him bother, and he says no to it! Goddamn it, I'll never forgive you for imitating a nobleman!

In the keepsake, it's like being bitten by a hand you've deliberately reached out to an adventurer.

I... no, the position of nobility was tantamount to being insulted by just an adventurer, and could never be forgiven.

"Furtos! Get him in a duel... and have someone ready to kill that ray and all the other bitches! The sin of insulting me, I will make you pay for it with your life!

I order Fultos with an angry gaze, but Fultus' reply to that was to shake his neck sideways.

"Have you forgotten, Master Keep? We originally tried to get Ray in here because we couldn't get enough people to beat him. That hasn't changed yet. This guild was originally the home of the neutrals. We cannot fully exercise our influence as kings or as Earls of Eriel."

"Grr... so what are you going to do! Strong adventurer in this guild... no, wait? If you can't hire a strong adventurer here, you don't have to bother obsessing with the guilds. Sure, there was another city nearby, huh? Abu Ero and Subrusta..."

It was a keepsake with a grin that I came up with a way to regenerate death, but what came back to that was a full toss of shaking my neck once again.

When I thought I had to fight Ray, Furtos thought about it.

But I had to dismiss the idea immediately.

"Dear Keep, This is a guild. In other words, a place where adventurers of equal strength gather within the kingdom of Mireana and no less than the king's capital. If other city adventurers were to duel against Ray, whose name is sold as a prowess among such guilds... and there is little time left"

"Don't be ridiculous! You still have to do something about it! If we keep this up, half of our property will be taken!

It was a screaming keepsake, but if you try it full toss, I'd say why you imitated betting half your fortune.

(At the very least, we didn't do the legal processing, and if it was a promise, we could have missed it.)

Even while he groans bitterly inside, the yelling of the keepsake echoes into the room.

Listening to it, Furtos inadvertently stops moving as if the keepsake had come up with something, thinking that there was somehow no means to break the status quo.

Furtos opens his mouth, even though he has a bad feeling about how his own master is doing.

"Master Keep, what have you done?

"... I'm seeing this all because there's some paperwork under Larks Border Uncle where my blood judgment was pushed, right?

"Huh? Well, that's right. With those documents, it's true that we're in an unmistakable situation."

"Then why don't we just do something about that paperwork? Yeah, like thieves or something sneaking in and stealing."

"I can't."

Don't be ridiculous! I put up with wanting to scream, and Furtos assures me.

"It's where the lord lives, isn't it? Naturally, the protection is done properly. Especially the knights of the Larks Borderline Bertier are well-aligned and have a reputation. Not very much, but I was wondering if I could imitate scratching those eyes and sneaking in."

Furtos didn't put it in his mouth, but he thought there were other possibilities that Dusker might be spotting their movements.

If it's a keep, it wouldn't be weird to take short-circuit action that far.

"Then tell me what to do!

"It's..."

"To the habit of having no alternatives, you're only complaining in public! But if it's hard to attack the Lords' Hall, will it wipe out the Gilm itself? If you hire people to set fire to it all over the city, it won't be a duel."

"Please don't! If you imitate that, the Earl of Eriel family is doomed!

"So if you want to complain, give me an alternative!

Even if they yell at me, there's no substitute coming out of Furtos' mouth.

But still... I could never let him sneak into the Lords' Hall or imitate Gilm by setting fire to it.

If you imitate that, you will be certain that even your own life will be in danger, not just the keepsake.

There's only one thing Furtos can do to do something about his life.

"Okay. I will look for someone who has the strength to manage to beat Ray. So please refrain from imitating it lightly somehow"

Days left until the duel.

In the meantime, I had to manage to have someone who could counter Ray.

Keepsake nods satisfactorily at the words coming out of Fultos's mouth.

Because if you could find someone to beat Ray, you didn't have to worry about.

Most of all, I don't understand how difficult it is to achieve.

That's why I open my mouth thinking that Furtos' opinion can be fully fulfilled.

"You just have to say that from the beginning. I'll take care of it."

... This is how time flies and the day of duel finally arrives.
