Legend

Having housed all the trees logged in the Trento Forest in mystering, Ray rides Seto back to Guild as planned.

That was the sensory thought for Ray that the time he was flying in the sky was about a few minutes and that he was already in front of the main gate of Gilm in the next moment when he thought he had just stood in the Trent Forest......

That's how you get down in front of the main entrance, where you'll also find several knights in front of the gate and three figures: Marina, Vihera and Bühne for some reason.

(Knight?)

Why is the knight here?

Ray had such doubts for a moment, but soon I realize that one of these Trent woods is joined by the Knights... or their superiors, or even the Lord's Dusker if they do poorly.

It was more questionable for Ray why the marinas were here than for the Knights of Ninglow.

I guess I already noticed about the flying ceto.

The moment Seto gets off the ground, the knights come closer.

Note that it was Ray and Seto who used to ask me not to imitate anything that would go directly down to the side of the main gate, but now it was allowed to collapse.

I guess that's why Seto's presence was known to many.

The captain of the guard, Langa, admits it too.

... Most of the time, it seems that Langa has been busy with a lot of things lately.

"I've been waiting for you, Ray. So what about the tree?

Ray also looked familiar to the knight who had called out so.

Originally, Ray often deals with the Knights for a variety of reasons.

That's why few of the Knights were comfortable with Ray.

Not to mention that this knight has acted with Ray in the war against the Bestian Empire, and has the impression against Ray that he is, one way or another, a comrade of war.

Words directed at such comrades were at a mild pace.

Ray is also easier enough to deal with this one than to be respectful.

Open your mouth with a grin about it.

"Oh, no problem. The trees that were being felled, I brought them all. So, where do I put it?

"Look, over there, please. That way, we'll do something about the rest."

Shown by the knight who has spoken to Ray is right on the front gate.

There were a number of carriages there… there were also specialized carriages available to be used by the wagons when carrying wood.

Those in the process of entering the Guild have a rare view of such a carriage.

There are many merchants, adventurers, travelers, etc., but it is probably unusual for such people to have carriages for caravans.

The merchant, in particular, pinches Ray's exchange with the Knights in his ear and wonders if it will lead to some kind of money-making story.

In fact, that's not a mistake. Regardless, Ray would naturally assume that there is something, given that the Knights are coming out in person like this on purpose.

... but it's hard to tell if you can eat in there.

In the Dusker, it is already decided to which chamber of commerce to take the story regarding the addition of the guilds.

It is possible that the requested chamber of commerce will turn its work to other chambers of commerce for reasons such as not being able to do so on their own or strengthening their influence over other chambers of commerce.

Whether or not a merchant watching Ray interact with the knight would let him into that chamber of commerce was a delicate matter.

"Okay.... Whatever that is, why the marinas?

The marina, spoken on behalf of the three of them, opens her mouth to Ray, who looks at the carriage for the horse.

"It's not like anything happened, so don't worry. It's just that we all had a little time to walk around the city..."

So the gaze of the out-of-word marina is directed at the knights.

"Uh... yeah, somehow I know why"

With no expression, Ray nods back to Marina's words as he looks at Büne stroking Seto, emitting some delightful atmosphere.

Just because the marinas are here doesn't mean there's something wrong.

I can say I'm glad I was able to meet the marinas face to face like this.

"What were you doing today?

"Do me a favor.... about the Trent Forest."

"... I see"

To Marina's words, Ray somehow understands what Marina was doing.

In the first place, there was a lot of confusion when I used to take Marina to the Trent Forest.

That was only because I'm a marina with high abilities as a spiritual wizard, but I guess this time I'm going to ask that marina as a spiritual wizard to look into the trees Ray has been cutting.

In fact, the same is true of the amazing Spirit Wizard, but in one way or another the focus was more on his knowledge as a dark elf living in nature.

Especially in the case of Dusker, he's been with Marina for a long time, and the workers are quite close on one side of the marina's successor.

"Uh... Ray. Anyway, give my regards to the tree. I'm busy right now. If I can, I want to carry the tree as soon as possible. We're still going back and forth, right?

I was talking to Marina, Ray, but in the words of a knight, I remember my current situation.

"Bad, then I'll load it right up in the carriage... how many of them will be okay?

"There are a lot of horses at once, and the carriage is a special item, so I hear there are no problems with about ten normal trees..."

I guess the reason I whine about my lack of confidence is because, naturally, knights don't know much about their work.

"Well, we've got a bunch of carriages here, so we can do something with a little more numbers."

While feeling slightly unreliable to the condition of the knight he adds as if in a hurry, Ray decides that he should let out the trees now stored inside the mysteries anyway, moving closer to the carriage.

If it were normal, horses would be from one to two against a single carriage.

However, the portions of the carriage are long and widely built so that trees can be put on board, and the carriage is large for that matter, as is the number of horses that carry nature and its carriage.

"Is this the carriage for the caravan?... It's not like a regular carriage."

Whimpering, Ray quickly picks a tree out of the mistering and loads it onto the carrier.

Here's Ray... and what the knights miscalculated would be that the felled trees weren't cut and shaped like branches.

Usually, the chopped tree is left alone for a short time to dry the tree - for more than six months depending on the tree - during which time the leaves wither and the excess branches are cut and so on, but in this case they are told to carry them as they are felled.

That is why the trees remained felled and the leaves growing in the trees remained intact.

As a result, each of its leaves and branches gets in the way and doesn't load well on the carrier.

"Uh... Ray, I'm sorry, but put some trees back on me once. So, will you let me ride the difference?

"Really? Just give me a minute."

Store a few trees on the carrier in mystering, and then put them on the carrier differently from each other.

Although the branches and leaves are not usually put on as well as the trees, they can still be put on much more than they were when they were first placed on the carrier.

"All right, take this carriage over here for now. Then you go!

"Okay."

And he nodded unto the word of the knight, and turned his carriage toward the main gate.

I guess the procedure was done in advance.

The carriage with the long carriage slowly… enters the gilm, trying not to drop the tree it is putting on.

Dropping it off, Ray heads to the carrier of the next carriage and puts the trees in the same way different from each other.

Compared to when a tree is transported, the number of trees is very small.

This has not been dried after cutting and would be due to the fact that there is still plenty of moisture left in the trees.

In fact, some trees have leaked sap and moisture from the trunk cutting area of the tree that Ray placed on the carrier.

The moisture content varies depending on the type of tree, but it is stored in the misting almost immediately after cutting, so there is a lot of moisture coming out of every tree.

... It's been about an hour or two to be exact, but given that I let it dry for nearly six months, an hour or two would be within the margin of error.

The moisture content could not be foolish and, naturally, could not be imitated as they always carry.

Still, if I manage to successfully put all the trees on the carriage, the knight I was talking to Ray earlier will talk to me again.

"In the meantime, you've worked this one out.... Just don't come any time soon, just a little later. As far as this goes, it's going to be hard for the carriage to come back soon."

"I guess..."

The carriage was originally built bigger than a regular carriage, and the horse pulls it pretty slow because it puts a ton of trees on it to get around.

No, this is still a wagon for the wagon... even if it is somewhat magic items are just used, the number of horses is still to this extent, and if this were a regular wagon, the number of horses would have needed to be twice... or triple.

We're moving slowly in our current situation, so given Seto's speed of flight, we were certain we'd wait here even if we came back in our current situation again.

"You can take a break in the city if you want, but what do you do?

"No, I'll stop it. I'd like to look into the woods a little more."

"... right"

A knight who whines briefly says nothing more.

This knight, too, understands the danger of the Trento Forest more than he has been entrusted with this one.

That's why if Ray can work it out, he's strong enough to want to leave it there.

If Ray can't even look into it, there's very little he can do.

But at the same time, Dusker tells me that there was only one tree to be carried from the Trent Forest.

Less, as long as there was room in the confinement... no, they told me to collect trees even if I was somewhat forced to.

... In that shadow, Dusker's men's alchemists work day and night, but I don't even know the knights that far.

Thus Ray exchanges words with the knights… he also speaks only a little with the marinas before flying with Seto towards the Trento Forest.

Dropping off Ray like that, each of those who waited for Ray on this occasion, starting with the knight, goes into the guild.

The procedure itself ended without taking that long, as no one was in that line at the present time.

Still, putting out your guild card and showing that to the guards... doesn't change the hassle of the process.

When Bühne had a slightly unpleasant atmosphere about the hassle, but still had to endure to get inside the guild, he finishes the process with great care.

"I don't think you need to worry because it's about Ray... it's okay, right?

To the whining marina's words, Vihera nods that she has no problem.

"If you want to do something about Ray, that's what you can't do about the forest.... I've never been to that forest, but you think I can do something about Ray?

If you say so, the marina also has to shake her neck to the side.

In fact, the forest that Marina had seen was one that was all sorts of uncomfortable.

But... even with that discomfort, I don't think I can do anything about Ray to that extent.

If Ning Lo Mori tries to do harm to Ray, I wonder if that's what will wipe out the forest itself... even that way.

It was not something like a convenient prediction, but as a real feeling in the marina.

Ever since Marina found out about Ray, she's never been discouraged by her lack of strength, even if she's ever been surprised by her prowess.

"Right. Maybe I think too much.... No, maybe Ning Lo Ray is worried that the Trent Forest will disappear because he's working too hard."

"You know, it could be normal."

Even if Vihera can't predict that Ray will be able to do something about the Trent Forest, she can easily predict that Ray will do something about the Trent Forest.

Sometimes people say that it's because you haven't actually seen the Trent Forest... but if it's like this one, that's what you knew about the Trent Forest didn't worry about Ray in particular.

That's all it means to understand Ray's prowess, but it's also a big deal that no matter what you think, you couldn't imagine Ray dying.
