Legend

The person Ray attacked in the cave, naturally not so strong, was now unconscious and fell asleep on the ground.

Most importantly, not being strong is only because the attacking side is Ray, which equals enemy land... it also acted by infiltrating the periphery where a wide variety of monsters existed, so in general it would fall into a strong enough category.

Either way, a glance at those who have lost consciousness like that makes Ray look around the cave again.

There are also types of wood, stone and metal ingots there, and I can tell that there is a considerable amount to see.

(With that said, you also managed to say that there was another cup in the cave when you infiltrated. So this isn't the first time these guys attacked us today?

Ray had also heard that the merchant attacked today was carrying a considerable amount of material.

But still, the amount of this material felt a little too much.

Of course, I can't abandon the possibility that I was actually carrying this much material.

"Whatever... I'm pretty sure I'm confiscating all this material."

Whimpering, storing the material that was in the cave in one mistering after another.

Though you can store it just by touching it, the amount is.

Eventually it takes enough time to store all the materials in the mistering.

"Mmm!"

That's how I put the last stone in the mistering, and I heard that from the entrance to the cave.

Whose voice is that, I didn't have to think about Ray partying with me.

"Bühne, you mean you're here, have you cleaned up outside yet?

"Mmm."

I look at Bühne snort, and I snort that Ray would too.

In the first place, the Rays' party, the Red Lotus Wings, is a party that you can say specializes in combat.

No one can deny that even Beaune, who is actually supposed to be a bandit, has a fighting power that is not commensurate with his age.

Vihera is a combat fanatic, and with the presence of Ray and Seto, it was natural to assume she was a combat specialist.

In fact, there are many other abilities besides Seto's sharp five senses and his ability to excel in combat, such as marina knowledge and spiritual magic.

... Still, I guess they see it that way more than it is true that combat power stands out and is high.

"Right, then go.... No, do you want me to tie you up so you won't get away with it before you get conscious again?... but the question is how do we get these guys?"

"Hmm?"

With the rope removed from the mistering, he ties the hands and feet of the men who are falling to the ground.

It's a special tie that can't be roped out so easily, but that's only in the general sense.

That would not explain that if these men were like special forces, even this way of tying them up would not be light... but there was ample chance of escape.

(Would you make some kind of guy with a magic item to restrain the other guy?... but it seems the alchemist is so busy right now that he wants to borrow the cat's hand too)

Needless to say, the biggest cause of this is the trees that have been felled from the Trento woods.

We have logged quite a few before we defeated Giganto Turtles, and since we defeated Giganto Turtles, that is what we have logged in large quantities every day.

Given that one of Ray's main tasks is to carry the trees he logged in the Trento woods, you'll see how much he carries.

... Although it is more likely that Ray was asked to do so, even if it is not that much, because it is faster than carrying normally felled trees than there is mistering.

Either way, the tree is not that special as it is.

But alchemy can give you some magic defense.

And more than just applying your hand in alchemy, you'll need as many alchemists there.

As a result, Gilm's alchemist got very busy.

Of course there are means of calling alchemists from other cities and villages, but the wood that can be harvested from Trento's forests is a critical key to building more guilds.

Therefore, there was the idea of the upper management of the Guild that if possible, other city or village alchemists would not want to be informed of the details.

In fact, some of the Alchemists in Guild behave suspiciously… Alchemists who seem to be deeply related to other cities, villages, or cities are not involved in this case.

That's why alchemists are getting busy with extra work.

"Mmm!"

Tie up all the men who were unconscious in the cave and can't get away with it, then make sure Büne rushes them out of the cave.

That's how I look around the cave, where all the men who were in this Azito have fallen unconscious.

Disable this many people without killing a single one.

That alone would reveal how powerful the Rays are.

"Ah, Ray. How'd it go in the cave?

Seeing Ray out of the cave, Vihera asks with a grin.

Seeing a man who was called captain fall a little further away, Ray reassures Vihella that his fight with the captain would have been satisfactory because of his good mood.

(Plus, he's alive)

Vihella's skill, the Impregnated Palm, now has the effect of detonating the interior of the body.

But that's a very dependable skill in the sense of killing someone, but it's never the right skill in terms of keeping them alive and capturing them.

That's why I was wondering if maybe the captain was dead... Ray who was feeling slight anxiety, but fortunately the captain had not exploded anywhere in his body and seemed to be just unconscious.

With such Ray's gaze, I guess he understood what he was thinking. Vihera opens her mouth only slightly dissatisfied with the grin that was floating.

"What, you thought you might have killed him?

"Uh... no. It's not like that. I'm just glad Vihella was able to fight to her satisfaction."

"Right. I didn't use an immersion claw or anything like that, like Ray was worried about, and I didn't use nails or blades on my toenails. It was really a battle in a vegan state."

I understood why the captain was safe in those words, Ray, but if Vihella was going to be satisfied with it, I would change the story to see if I didn't have to go in any further and get grumpy.

"So, what are we going to do... it's going to take a little while to get these guys back to Gilm, don't you think?

"... right. If you find out you've been captured, you'll find a way out."

Marina, who has been checking to see if there are any survivors - no one's dead - around, interrupts Ray and Vihera's story, yes.

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

And on the side of the marina, there was also the figure of Seto.

"Is that it? Did you call Seto?

"Yeah. Looks like the enemy didn't let anyone escape, and then you don't have to keep Seto waiting over it, do you?

"... I don't think this is all the enemies I've defeated yet."

Maybe there's someone somewhere hiding and watching the gap? And, against Ray, who tells him so, Marina opens her mouth with a smile full of confidence that will then make her wander unintentionally, be it a man or a woman.

"If there's someone you can escape from spiritual magic, there might still be someone lurking with."

"Uh... yeah. I see. Okay.... Spirit magic is still cod."

"Really? But there are quite a few people who have the aptitude to be human, and it's hard to get the Spirit to move as you wish?

"Even if Marina, who uses it all in front of us, says it's convincing..."

Marina technology that uses spiritual magic is, as far as Ray knows, the pinnacle.

I have previously encountered elf spiritual users in the Bestian Empire who have a fighting method of letting water spirits form dragons to fight, but the marina obviously seems better on top in the sense of freely using spirits.

(And in the case of the marina, if you want to do it, you're going to be able to make a bigger being out of spirits than that water dragon.)

It was a smudge and a ray I think so, but Marina tips her little neck at how Ray looks like that.

"What's going on? Anything wrong?

"... no, it's nothing. Anyway, the guys who were here definitely took them all down. Is that what this is all about?

"Yes."

"Right."

"Mmm!"

"Gru!"

Three and one respond that way to Ray's words, respectively.

Ray hears that, then... and takes out the rope with mystering.

"It's the easiest way to connect with a rope until you end up taking him to the guild, isn't it?... Tie him up while he's unconscious. Let's scatter them all and clean them up at once. Seto asks if anyone has regained consciousness"

"Gru!"

To Ray's words, Seto sounds his throat gladly.

Until earlier, it was just flying in the woods.

I knew it was an important task to be careful not to let the enemy escape.

But still, it was boring for Seto to be flying without doing anything.

Not to mention that even if you see a few monsters in the woods, you can't possibly do anything more than defeat them than be a lookout.

Therefore, it was still a worthwhile task for Seto to see if the consciousness of those who were falling in front of him had returned.

Especially for Seto, who has excellent sensors like hearing, smell, and vision, that's what he's good at spotting people who pretend to have lost consciousness, people who are almost unconscious.

"Well, here we go."

With those words, the faces of the Red Lotus wings scatter in each hand the rope that Ray took out of the mistering.

Ray also turns to a man who is unconscious a little further away.

That's how I tied him up like the man I tied him up in the cave earlier...

"With that said, Ray. You already recovered the material that was in the cave, didn't you?

Marina, who had tied the hand of a man who had lost consciousness a little further away, asks.

"Oh, you're all right now. It's all in my mistering, so I can fully accomplish the minimum request.... so if you take these guys for the rest, you can end the request with the highest rating."

"... ma, I guess. I still don't know for sure if that's the highest rating."

"Yeah? What does that mean?

"There are many things about requests that adventurers don't even know about. Well, if that's what you mean, I'm pretty sure this one's highly rated, regardless of whether it's the best rating or not."

Just the former guild master, I guess Marina knows a lot about what Ray doesn't.

But daring to say nothing against Ray means that Ray doesn't have to know.

That's how he decides, and Ray binds the man's hand without going in and asking for an explanation in particular for more than that.

Also, I don't tie my legs like the men I tied up in the cave because I'm going back to Gilm.

If you have your legs tied at that time, that's what makes you walk very slowly.

I definitely wanted to avoid that even though I was trying to get back to the guild as soon as I could.

"Nevertheless...... again, who are these men? Not very much, but it doesn't seem like just a bandit. Well, I'm pretty sure he wasn't like a bandit at the time he said he was on a mission."

"Right. But we'll find out if we get these guys to Guild, too.... Dusker is basically fair, but that doesn't mean he can't be tortured."

He was a former knight and a dusker worthy of calling his personality extravagant, but there is still nothing more hesitant about interrogation or torture than being in a position of lord.

I don't hesitate to gather information to protect my territory.

Especially since these men were clearly acting to disrupt the construction of the Guild.

If so, you should not choose the means as lord of the Guild.

Dusker's position is not just Dusker's.

Those in the city of Gilm, those in the service of the Larks Border House… and one of the three great factions, the central figure of the Neutralists, have many lives at stake.

If there's anything you can do for it, you don't have to hesitate.

"I wish these guys hadn't done a weird imitation of giving a little bit to Gilm either."

Ray groaned with some pity as he saw the men returning to consciousness.
