Ray was in front of Gilm's main gate with Seto that afternoon when he received a request from Dusker.
Originally, when you go away, it takes a lot of preparation.
Means of travel, preserved food, drinking water, escorts… of course it is possible to replenish it during the journey, but I do not know what a journey is.
Beyond that, it was natural to be prepared for something like that.
But... if that's Ray, the story will be completely different.
To the means of travel, Seto is far faster than a horse running on the ground, and since he then flies through the sky, he is not attacked by bandits.
Food is in large quantities in the mysteries, and drinking water is solved by a magic item called a running water dagger.
And in terms of escort, you can call it excessive power at the point where Ray and Seto are present.
There was nothing like Ray making special preparations just for that situation.
If I were to dare raise it, would I have bought a stipend or gradual dish in the street before I got out of the guild, enough to pack it into mysteries?
"Okay, then? We're not gonna get lost, are we?
It was a marina that I would tell my first child to tell, but in Ray's case, it's not even extreme... but it's somewhat directional tone deafness.
I guess that's why Marina is taking care to keep Ray from going in strange directions.
Note that initially Marina and Vihera also intended to go with Ray.
But the reason I couldn't do that was because Marina and Vihera had a lot of work to do in Guild.
The Spirit Magic of the Marina in particular has an overwhelming power difference even from the same Spirit Magic user.
Its applicability, versatility, is immeasurable in terms of the spiritual magic used by marinas.
Vihera has achieved a high level of success as a policing officer.
... Ray wonders if the appearance of Ningro Vihera is what's disturbing the security, but somehow, for adventurers, craftsmen, and people who have been looking for work, they need a variety of prominent figures.
As a matter of course, it was becoming a half-gilm specialty for such people to lay their hands on Vihela and be beaten to death.
Bühne has been excluded from the membership going with him in the first place due to the issue of communication of will.
Ray has also been able to communicate broadly, but that is only broadly.
Like Vihera, there's no way to understand what Bühne is trying to say in detail.
Beyond that, the option of taking Bühne did not exist in Ray from the beginning.
If you take him, it will definitely be confusing.
On the contrary, the inability to communicate with one another makes it highly probable that there will be various unsavory situations.
"I know. You too, Gilm, I asked for it.... Well, I guess I don't have to say it"
"Pfft, I wish I had someone to help me with."
The same is true for the reason that Vihella remains in the Guild, but another thing was that the obstruction of the nobility did not necessarily end with this.
Of course, there are more adventurers in the Guild today than usual.
You won't come as foolish and honest as you attacked Bistol than you have all that fighting power.
However, it was also conceived that the next time it was set up, it would be by unexpected means.
It was also half certain that some of the adventurers currently in the Guild had the breath of an aristocrat.
... No, besides the Ning Lo aristocracy, you should consider that there are lurkers in the hands of those who are troubled by the construction of the guilds.
Vihela was chosen as a direct force of war because in the case of such opponents it is probably a strong opponent and Vihela can enjoy a satisfactory battle......
"Well, I should probably get going."
Saying so, Ray crosses Seto's back...
"Seto!
I hear voices like that inadvertently, as if I had anticipated the timing.
What Ray saw with his gaze at his familiar voice was still what Mileyne looked like as expected.
Wave and head straight for Ray - in this case you will be headed exactly for Ceto - to see what Mileyne looks like running, but don't wait for it to signal Ceto.
If it was not a time of haste, I didn't mind letting Miraine and Seto play.
But now we need to hurry up and leave.
before a major move by the aristocrats.
If we waste our time here, that's all the more likely that the aristocracy will move.
... Of course, there's no particular difference in wasting a few minutes here, but if the other person is Mileyne, the story changes.
The love Mileine has for Seto is what makes it so intense.
If we let Mileyne do as she pleases here, that's what we do on an hourly basis...... if we did poorly, time could have been crushed on a daily basis.
I also wanted to refrain from wasting that much time for Ray.
"Hey, Ray! It's me, it's Mileyne! Wait a minute. Huh!
From behind...... no, Ray rises to the sky with Seto, ignoring the voices he hears from below.
You want a ceto? and I was tilting my little neck and looking at Ray, but Ray nodded that he had no problem with it.
Seto could have played a little with Mileyne, but if Ray were to say so, he would keep his wings winged and away from the guild.
"Look, first of all, still eat this. It's not that long... but the first place to go is the noble territory of the Neutralists."
As for Ray, I could have headed for the aristocratic territory where he had sent private soldiers at once, but the situation over there...... I still need information, especially to know where and what kind of buildings are there and how much security is laid.
And just as well, next to the aristocratic territory Ray is going to be, there is the aristocratic territory of the neutrals.
If so, then naturally if Ray is receiving this request from Dusker, he can get information from that nobleman.
I'm guessing that Dusker asked Ray to do the same thing, considering the circumstances around it.
(Well, give me some information about the construction of the Gilm. Nobility of this target...... Was it Count Realdact? I'm guessing it's each other because what he grabbed was the information he got from the man who was letting him sneak into that neutral aristocratic territory.)
Turning your gaze to the ground as you fly over, you can see Trent's Forest a little further away.
Most places remain untouched, given the enormity of the Trento Forest, although they seem to be cutting trees with great effort.
It was such a huge forest, but I can see the trail Giganto Turtle moved from above.
(No, in this case, it's from above, so I don't know what.)
A single line drawn to the woods.
It's a little too thick to call it a line, but there was no doubt that it was very noticeable.
"When will we be logging all the trees in this Trento forest?"
"Gru?"
You blamed Ray for whining, what happened to Seto? Turn around with your wings winged.
Ray strokes the back of his neck in front of him as he waves his head saying it's nothing to Seto, who stares at him with his circular eyes.
Seto rattles his throat in a pleasant manner at such Ray's act.
A monster of rank s equivalence is the loving nature of a very unlikely ceto, and Ray understood that why Mireine has such a strong love for ceto.
(Well, I knew that originally)
That's how Seto keeps flying, instantly passing through cities like Abu Ero, Subrusta, etc.
The speed of the difference in digits from moving the ground.
This speed would be one of the major reasons why Dusker asked Ray for this request.
One thing about this...... I guess that's what you're going to do, trying to end retaliation before the information gets through to those who were pulling the thread behind the plan to raid the merchants and take the materials they use to build the guild.
Most importantly, Ray is not optimistic about that.
Like a pair of orbs, there are no more magic items that can communicate over a long distance, because I understand them myself.
It's only natural that Ray can have frequent conversations with Elaine because of this magic item.
I just don't think this pair of magic items called Orbs is a very valuable substitute and that's what Count Lerduct is taught not to be in that important position among the aristocrats.
You wouldn't have to worry about that, considering how hard Ray struggled to get this.
(Well, if it's noble, it's possible to buy it with gold... do you have all that financial resources? You don't get it first. However, there are other means to keep in touch besides the pair of orbs)
That is what Tamer and the user of summoning magic will do if they take the means to have the bird carry the letter, they will know the result of this one overwhelmingly faster than they would normally send it out.
Regardless of the summoning magic, Tamer is so rare that he can't even be hired so easily... should I say fortunate or unfortunate for the Rays?
Either way, there are many adventurers currently gathering in the Guild.
In addition, Dusker had hired the person in his hand to promptly contact other villages and cities and give instructions.
Some of them will, naturally, take jobs from others to make requests.
For such people, no one will pry.
No, I guess if it's a blatantly suspicious request, I'd say no, but none of the people who fell out during that time would.
"Grrrrrrrrrr"
Seto accidentally rattles his throat as Ray thinks as he looks at the surrounding scenery.
Hey, what's up? and Ray with his gaze pointed his gaze in the direction Seto was looking...... with a surprised look on his face.
Because there were a few oaks at the end of his gaze.
Oak itself is not that rare a monster.
It would be a huge commotion if beings such as superior and rare species led the oak, as was the settlement previously dominated by Oak King, which Ray defeated, but a few oaks in the absence of such beings...... often wrapped around ten in many cases.
Of course there are many exceptions, so that's why some orcs work in dozens of units even though there are no top or rare species, or vice versa.
Anyway, Ray can't be particularly surprised just because he has an oak.
But... if that orc is responsible for a person who has lost consciousness, the story will change.
Not to mention the long hair of the person in charge.
Perhaps the proviso will be made that it is not the man but the woman who is in charge of the oak.
And a woman caught by monsters like Oak and Goblin is miserable fate awaits.
That's what I'm saying, as a person... no, I can tell you that I will be trampled on in my dignity as a woman.
"You can't keep doing this more than you've seen..."
Nothing, Ray, is not fraternism.
Sometimes the world of adventurers is convinced if they say weak meat.
However... I could not imitate abandoning a woman even though I could be helped in this way.
"... can't help it, huh? Seto!"
In that one word, Seto must have understood what Ray was trying to say.
Wings flapping and descending towards the ground.
At this time, the sound was not as loud as usual because Seto also showed himself to the woman in charge of the oak?
If Seto was ringing here, I don't know what the orcs would do if they noticed Seto's presence.
If you're going to let the woman go and run like this, it's going to be easy for Ray to achieve his goal, and it's the best result.
But throwing a woman unconscious on the ground is definitely a lot of danger.
Given that the shock at the time of the fall could also result in the worst possible loss of neck bones and death, it's not very much, but there's no way we can tolerate such imitation.
(Besides, oak meat is pretty valuable)
It was a rank D monster and an oak that never meant to be a high rank monster, but its meat tastes pretty good.
The higher the rank of a monster, the meat taste of that monster basically improves.
But there was an exception to everything, and Orc was one of those exceptions.
Previously...... that was when Ray just showed up in the Guild, Ray took part in the attack on the Oak settlement led by Oak King.
At that time he was getting a lot of meat, but Ray eats even more than he eats with what he deserves to call a big meal.
More than that, it is only natural that the oak meat in the mysteries is diminishing...... if you could refill that, you didn't have to hesitate.
