Legend

A few days after there was an incident in front of the gates of Cobolt and Gilm.

In the meantime, Ray, Vihera, and Büne and Seto went outside the Guild to look for the alchemist.

But it's pretty hard to find just one alchemist outside the guild, even though it's hard to find even if he's in the guild, and he still can't capture that figure.

"Gru......"

Seto, flying through the sky with his wings winged, squeals his throat sorry.

Ray on that back strokes Seto's back like that.

"Don't worry about it. There's nothing wrong with Seto. You knew it was hard to find, didn't you? Besides, we're not the only ones looking."

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

To Ray's words, Seto regains only a little energy.

Ray and Seto are the only ones flying and looking in the sky this way, but Vihera and Büne were both searching as they moved around the ground, and the guards were also looking in the gilm about the gate...... especially around the slums where people could easily hide.

Regardless of the two most Vihella and Büne, only Langa and a few of them know what's going on in the guard.

Beyond that, it is not uncommon for guards who know nothing about the investigation in the guilds to look around and become something out of place.

... It's not a by-product of this, but it was connected to deterrence of crime because the guards were looking around the city.

"Besides, Vihera had a lot of fun, didn't she? I work with pleasure, so don't worry too much."

"Gru?"

Am I? and Seto tilting his little neck.

In fact, Vihera enjoyed the act of walking around outside the Guild with Büne.

Vihera has just come to Gilm, and some do not know her relationship with Ray.

... Even though it has not been ten days since I came to Gilm, there is still a greater number of people who know Vihela because it still stands out that much.

Together, those who are crude, even though they don't know that Vihela is an associate of Ray, naturally come by if they meet Vihela outside the Guild.

In contrast, Vihera tried a mock fight by saying that if she could beat herself, she could listen to about it... and as a result, it was a winning streak.

Ningro's visit to Vihera over the past few days has made Ray stand out in a different way.

"You probably don't think you're in the gilm. If that's the case, it'll be pretty obvious."

"Gru."

Ringing his throat so that Seto also agrees with Ray's words.

If you're in the guild, small weapons like daggers anyway, huge magic items like the hammers used by the red cyclops really stand out when you bring them up.

And I didn't think the guard led by Ranga would miss someone to take out such luggage.

(Is it possible if you are turned into a merchant?

I agree, Ray, but the guards can say they're professionals on that path.

Especially Gulm guards, who are sometimes on the perimeter, check the perimeter in detail.

(Because I guess it means you're lurking somewhere... it's kind of inconceivable that you're out at night on the border and maybe even in a few)

It was Ray looking at the ground on Ceto winging, but Ceto accidentally rattles his throat.

"Gru!"

"What's up!?

Throat-rattling Seto changes direction of travel with his wings flapped as-is.

The way it descended toward the ground was precisely the behavior to describe even with the raptors who found their prey.

On Seto's back, Ray also turns his gaze to the ground.

That's how I landed on the ground and into Ray's eyes was a single carriage pulling back and forth beside the street.

I thought it was an accident where the wheel got hooked on something, Ray, but the only thing around that carriage is the horse's body.

Nor did it break the neck bone with the impact of the carriage rolling, with the arrow stabbing.

It is obviously at the hands of men, and it is easy to imagine, for example, what kind of people did this.

"It's unusual for a bandit to come out all the way around the guild. Because it's spring?

Gilm is a periphery and there are many powerful monsters around it.

And monsters naturally don't see bandits as companions, and encounters strike without question.

In other words, if you're going to bandit on the border, you need just the power to defeat the monster.

Not so many, but they need that kind of power to be able to deal with rank C monsters like the Cyclops that Ray fought last time.

With all that power, of course, we would be able to attack things like merchants and merchants coming to the Guild and take away a large quantity of scarce goods.

But if you imitate that, besides monsters, you'll be targeted by Gilm's adventurers.

If you have as much power as you can do about it...... that's what you can do without bandits, but you can also be a mercenary and eat by some pretty legitimate means.

Daring to bandit near the guilds in such a way are those who are confident in their arms cannot or will not choose a way of life other than banditry...... or are they overconfident fools who know nothing about the circumstances around them?

"Well, I don't know if I'd decide to be a bandit because I'm using a bow. And that carriage doesn't necessarily mean you're a merchant."

If you're a man-shaped monster like an oak or a cobolt, it's not strange to use a bow.

Still, it was desirable for Ray to be a bandit if he could. Because...

"A snake's path is a snake. If you're really a bandit who's got territory around here, it's not weird to know about the alchemist. Seto, do you have a location?

"Gru!"

Turn your gaze toward the woods, where Seto is a little far from the street, when he tells you to leave it to Ray.

Unlike the forest that became a battle with Cyclops, it was a forest where the trees only grew neglected, and it was not difficult to find it if the battle was taking place in the back.

"Seto!"

To that call, Seto moves into action as soon as he rings his throat.

Kick the ground with Ray on his back and continue through the woods avoiding the trees.

When I ran like that for less than a minute, I can finally hear the metal in Ray's ear.

(A minute on Seto's foot means a good distance while avoiding the trees. Does that mean you've been running away from bandits long enough?

It's not as fast as flying, but Seto runs fairly fast.

That's enough to even afford a trained horse to catch up.

That distance is considerable because such a ceto runs for not a minute.

Eventually I can see those fighting through the gaps in the trees...

"It's a hit, apparently. Seto needs an escort for those under attack."

"Gru!"

The number of bandits and thinkers is about twenty.

In contrast, the number of escorts and thinkers is five.

The difference in numbers was overwhelming, but still the bandits still couldn't finish the fight, probably because five of the escorts were thoroughly defensive, mainly two women in their twenties.

(I don't know if it's a merchant or not, but is this why the bandits put more emphasis on the person in the carriage than on the luggage in the carriage)

The two women protected by the escort were the ones who, from Ray's eyes, seemed to look neat.

Beauty to the point that from the eyes of Ray, who knows beauties like Elaine, Vihera and Marina, it doesn't extend to those three, but it doesn't matter enough to affirm that they are beautiful.

It wasn't strange that the bandits who saw it changed the color of their eyes.

"Seto, please. Use the King's intimidation first."

"Grr!"

As Ray calls as he takes the Death Size out of the Mystering, he goes through the trees and out to where it's just like a square.

The first thing I noticed about the sudden intruder was the bandits...... not the five escorts.

Seto showed up from behind the bandits, of course.

The bandits questioned the appearance of such an escort and tried to turn behind...

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

To the roar that has been echoing from behind, my feet tremble, dropping the weapon I had in my hand to the ground, my head filled with fear.

"Hey, what? What happened?

One of the escorts speaks out loud to the sight of all the bandits who were suddenly surrounding him.

It is the effect of the King's skill of intimidation, but the two women and five escorts perceived as beings to be protected by Seto were out of that effect.

"... you didn't expect everyone to be like this in one shot. After all, there was nothing I had to do."

Squirting, Ray, down from Seto's back, looks around with Death Size in his hand.

"Eh, you..."

One of the escorts opens his mouth to Ray's appearance.

At first I didn't know who Ray was... and what the situation was, but the escorts have also come to Gilm many times over the past few years as escorts.

That's why I turned Griffon into an obedient demon, and I immediately remembered someone with a sickle more than his height.

"You, could it be deep red!?

"Correct.... Well, you should tie these bandits up and keep them from moving, as we'll talk more about it later. Are the two of you safe?

Ray's gaze was pointed at two women surrounded by escorts.

They were attacked by bandits, chased by bandits who managed to escape by escorts, and fled into the woods, where they were caught up and surrounded, and attacked in the middle of play and half when they could defeat them at any time.

As it is, all the escorts are dead, and they may be taken away by the bandits, contaminated with their bodies, and eventually sold as slaves.

The hand of salvation that suddenly appeared where I had such a fear.

I can't see my face because I'm wearing a hood, but I'm never tall.

It was more impossible to tell such an opponent not to be grateful.

"Thank you. I really don't know how to thank you."

"That, ah, thank you!

To two deeply bowing heads, Ray waves gently.

"Never mind. I have a little errand for the bandits too... let me ask you something, these guys are bandits, right?

Actually, he wasn't a bandit. Ray asks if it would not be stylish, but both five of the escorts and two of the women nod back at the words.

"Definitely a bandit"

"I guess. If you say it's the Knights, not the Bandits on this face, it'll surprise you."

"No, no, don't judge me by my face."

Listening to such an exchange of escorts, I pass Ray's brain for a moment wondering if he would be treated like a bandit's parent without question if Pamidor were here.

While I'd like to take a look at that, when I take the rope out of Mystering, I throw it at the escorts.

"If it stays like this, it's not weird when these guys move out either. I'm gonna tie you up real quick."

While talking to the escorts, the bandits were unable to move.

No, on the contrary, there are even those who are unconscious.

If you move, you will run away immediately, but you still can't move at all with the effect of the king's intimidation, and even if you can, you are looking at the bandits with a sharp gaze so that Seto won't let you do it.

Usually Seto's eyes that emphasize his love with circular eyes, but now his gaze is so sharp that everyone who sees it won't believe it.

Ray and his escorts quickly tie up the bandits who are unable to move.

Two of the most escorts held back on the woman's side in case the bandits didn't give a strange little bit.

Twenty or so bandits, but the Rays were only used to it and were tied up in minutes.

"... so, uh... now what are these guys gonna do? We got help, so we'll take care of these guys."

One of the guards who finished tying the bandits asks that to Ray, but Ray shakes his neck to the side of the inquiry.

"No, I'll leave it to you about these guys. The carriage looked like that, and it's got a lot of stuff in it, right?

As Ray is usually said to be a bandit eater, the bandits take the treasures they accumulate and the bandits they capture sell them off as slaves and turn them into gold.

That alone would make one fortune...... two fortunes or so, so you can see how much Ray usually makes.

That's why the man in the escort also opens his eyes to Ray's words with surprise.

"Are you sure?

If we keep taking the bandits to Gilm, it'll be gold.

"Oh, I don't have a bit of time right now. I just want to talk to these guys a little before I do. Looking for something... No, I have a searcher. It may not be funny to you guys, but I put my neck in this one for it."

"No, we would have been in danger without you. I'm suspicious if those two escorts were helped, and even if I have something to thank you for, I have nothing to resent.... So, that was what I wanted to hear. I don't mind, okay?

When the man from the escort I was talking to Ray asked the other face, the only thing that came back to it was a snort.
