Mass production of demon swords that manipulate their owners.
Such an unpleasant hunch of Ray giving up the Cyclops stripping and dew when the material stripping of the Cobolt is over and he returns to the Guild.
"That's why he couldn't have done that!
As for time, it was still some time past noon.
The Rays returned to Gilm with the two adventurers who were being chased by Kobolt, but they saw some noise in front of the gate where they proceeded to enter.
I guess those are the ones waiting for the process of entering the guild. While questioning the appearance of a significant crowd, the Rays turn to the one who spoke.
There, an adventure-style man was held up by several guards.
It's also in a rather harsh way, not just holding back, but being forcibly knocked down to the ground and his hands and feet held back by each of the guards.
Is the man being held down unconscious or not moving?
Still, the guards around him held the man down without any alarm.
"What happened?
"Huh? Oh, Ray"
Asking a merchant who was nearby and a man in his thirties or so, the man seemed to know Ray's face, and I wouldn't be particularly surprised to see Seto.
... even though I was blinded when I saw Vihera.
Still, as soon as I return, I rush my gaze from Vihela to the guards… specifically to the fellow adventurers being held to the ground and the noisy man.
"That suppressed adventurer burst out with a dagger all of a sudden. Besides, it feels strangely glowing in my body, and it looks suspicious."
"... what?
To the merchant's words, Ray turns his gaze toward the man who is hurriedly held to the ground.
But as the merchant said, I don't see anything like glowing from inside my body.
Still, Ray was looking carefully at the man.
The only thing that's making a scene is the adventurer with the man, and the man who's being held down seems to be out of strength from his body, and he's laid back.
Not very much, but it doesn't look like it's going to burst out.
(That dagger)
Ray's gaze was pointed at a dagger rolling on the ground.
The moment he sees that dagger, Ray gets the impression that it resembles a Cyclops hammer or a Kobolt demon sword.
I guess that means that the dagger now at the end of Ray's gaze is a magic item made by an alchemist from the Bestian Empire......
"I want you to feel safe. I think we can quickly prove that he wasn't hostile to us."
Langa calls out to calm the excited and noisy adventurer man.
I guess the man of the adventurer who was called out also naturally knew about Langa.
Exhales like a soothing sigh from earlier protesting tones.
"... sorry. I was a little too excited."
"No, I don't care. My own partner burst out all of a sudden, so I guess it makes sense to think that way. It's just, for once, he'll let me pick it up over here, okay? Of course, when you realize it, let me look into it, and if there's nothing wrong with it, you can go home immediately."
"So... no, yeah. Okay. Do that."
He was the man who tried to protest Langa for a moment, but he can pull the word right in.
I guess you understand that if you make any more noise here, you and your people will be in a bad position.
There was also such a thing as trust in Langa.
Langa, who brings together the guards, comes out to the gate this way despite his position and does the same job as the soldiers.
That's also after cleaning up my job as captain of the guard.
That's why Langa's personality is known to those who live in the Guild, and I guess that's why the adventurer man pulled back so manly without any more blame.
"I'm sorry. But I want him to rest assured that he's not guilty. Perhaps…"
Once the word stopped, Langa's gaze was directed at a dagger falling to the ground.
Heading to that dagger, one guard tries to get close...
"Stop!"
Words that are not usually as sharp as they seem to be warm langa words.
Guards who are directed at such words naturally stop their feet.
"Captain?"
"The cause of this disturbance is probably the dagger"
Probably using the word, but Langa is sure. He was staring at a dagger falling to the ground with a sharp gaze.
"But, uh, what are you gonna do? I don't think you can just leave me like this. If this dagger is the reason, even more so."
"I have an alchemist in the Knights, so I'm calling him now. So don't touch that dagger now. And keep the dagger surrounded so no one else touches it."
"... ok"
"Now that we've cleared this up for now, we all want each of you to get back to work. I don't care if you keep too many others waiting..."
And that's all I said, Langa notices Ray's presence.
I guess the reason I haven't noticed Ray's presence until now is because Seto was a little further away.
... because Mileyne and Johanna are adorable.
Even without Seto, he was telling the story of the height of Langa's attention around him noticing Ray.
Still, if you hear anything on this occasion, there will be some people out there who will wonder if Ray has anything to do with this one.
Merchants and adventurers are often sharp around them.... No, because it's right that you can't survive unless you're sharp.
That's why Langa just needs to be small and salute and turn her gaze to the man she was holding back again.
I really want that information on what means I got this dagger.
Of course, this man who was just manipulated is not guilty of anything, so I was going to stop talking and release him as soon as I finished my physical examination and hearing the circumstances.
With that in mind, Langa rearranges each of those who had gathered around him in a row and restarts the process of entering the Guild.
After enough time, several knights on horseback emerge from within the guild.
I guess he rode his horse because it takes time to get here from the Lords' Hall, but it takes time to walk.
Seeing a thin figure behind one of the knights with a line that is very invisible to the knights, he decides that is probably the alchemist of the Knights.
"Are you late?
One of the knights asks that towards Langa.
In knights and guards, knights are naturally more superior, but the opponent is not just a guard, he's the Langa of the captain of the guard.
Also, few knights of the Guild originally imitate prestige against others.
... not all of them for just a few, but fortunately the knights who have spoken to Langa now were not one of those few exceptions.
"No, it's fine. than that......"
Answer the knight and point your gaze at the man being held back by the guards.
At the time I released my dagger the most, I was unconscious, and there was nothing like moving from me.
"What about the magic item that he... So what's the example?
"Right there."
The dagger, which was falling a little away from the man, was guarded strictly so that no one could touch it.
If anyone tried to touch that dagger, it wouldn't be possible unless they did something about the guards.
And the guards are alert to their surroundings so that whoever comes can stop that movement.
"Please."
When the knight briefly tells the alchemist, the alchemist nods small and gets off the horse.
Even if they belong to the Knights, there's probably nothing like riding a horse usually with just an alchemist. Even with the knight on board, it was somewhere dangerous to get off the horse.
Still, when he manages to get down to the ground without falling or falling, he takes a small, deep breath to calm himself and walks towards the dagger.
Watching Langa snort, defend that dagger... another guard watching gives way to the alchemist.
"I see... technically that much... but twist for that? But why is this not a left-right object... because this is intentional?
Alchemist whining as he sees a dagger rolling on the ground.
The way I convince myself to squeal, from the side, there are all sorts of creeps.
But the person whining about it doesn't seem to care at all about what's going on around him.
Ning Lo, the knights around me seemed a little more embarrassed to see their own people doing it that way.
Still, unlike earlier, the number of wild horses around is low, so I guess I could put up with it.
The guards are the main ones who are looking at themselves, and the guards are hiding them as walls for those who go into the Guild.
But I don't want to be able to look at you like that forever just because you can stand it.
One of the knights who thought so speaks to the man of the alchemist.
"Hey, Wal. Come back to the good news. If you're going to analyze that dagger, you don't have to be here. Take it home and do it in the lab."
"... but this magic metal should have been pretty scarce. To dispose of it? But by using this magic metal... yeah? Oh, oh. Sorry."
I guess he finally came home to me in the words of his buddies. The alchemist called Wall immediately returns that word.
"Look, get ready as soon as you figure it out. I'm taking it home with me."
"Yeah, I got it."
To the urging knight's words, Wall takes some cloth out of his nostalgia.
Naturally it's more than just a cloth than an alchemist puts out.
It is specially processed using magic power to prevent, albeit somewhat of a mental attack on the user.
It is only somewhat, and it cannot be prevented if something like powerful spiritual domination were in a dagger, but even such a cloth must use scarce material to create it, and it is not so easy to create it.
Put that cloth on the dagger, Wal gently touched the dagger from the top of the cloth and immediately let it go... and when he realized there was nothing wrong, now he touched his finger on the cloth for a few seconds, and when he knew it still had no adverse effect, he grabbed the dagger over the cloth.
The knights around him were breathtaking to see how Wal was doing like that, but when Wal, who held the dagger, nodded small, he finally exhaled in relief.
"Apparently, you're okay."
"I can handle it.... Apparently, the ability to control them isn't more powerful than I thought."
The surrounding knights and guards exhale in relief at Wall's words.
"Well, let's get going."
Nodding at the knight's words, Wall tries to ride the horse with a dagger wrapped in cloth... even realizing that his hand cannot move freely because he has the dagger, he succeeds in crossing it into the back of the horse with the knight's hand, which he managed to carry when he came here.
"So, Lord Langa. We'll be excused for this. Please be strict about the example."
"I know. As captain of the Guard, I don't want to imitate putting dangerous people in the Guild."
Gilm is the most convenient way to replenish food and other supplies than the Alchemist is working on.
Of course, alchemists will be on guard, but humans need to eat.
(But if you have a hand-worked companion, you could be eating monster or wildlife meat)
Though I think so, that doesn't mean I'm not wary, and Langa was wary to keep the alchemist out of the guild.
"Don't bother me. I thought there was something else because of Cobolt..."
In Ray's room in the wheat pavilion at dusk, besides the lord of the room, there are also the figures of Vihera and Bühne.
I came back to Gilm with Mileyne and Johanna, but given the sight I saw in front of the gate, I was very unwilling to make a scene at the banquet to accomplish the request, and I broke up along the way.
The only bright news for Ray was that the Cyclops' crusade request would end safely, as Johanna and the others each took the crusade proof sites and materials together.
"If you can mass-produce magic items that can manipulate monsters, it must be troublesome."
"Mmm."
Nodding as Bühne agrees with Vihella's words.
Neither can Ray answer no to that word.
So far, so little damage has been done, but if this were to be done to a greater extent, the Guild and its surroundings would be dangerous in many ways.
But Vihera continues her words as if to dispel Ray's anxiety like that.
"But so far, don't you have to worry so much?
"Yeah? Why?
"'Cause if you really can totally manipulate a monster, you're making a lot more fuss, right?
In that word, Ray remembers the person he has defeated or encountered so far.
Cyclops, cobolts, and humans.
It must have been caused by an alchemist who was causing this incident. Only those three things Ray knew because of the noise, but I immediately understand and convince Vihera what she was trying to say.
"With that said...... if you can manipulate monsters and users altogether, do you want to go into more secrecy or, conversely, make a lot of noise"
"Yeah. Make it cyclops. Make it cobolt, manipulate the user one way or the other. It felt like getting close to a runaway state. I've only seen the gate thing since it was seized, but from previous experience, it's probably the same."
"For example, a monster manipulated by an alchemist will attack the guilds in large numbers... Oh, my God?
"Probably, but I don't think so."
Vihera's words exhaled a breath of relief from Ray's mouth, reassuring him that there was no need to worry about Gilm for now.
