Legend

Guided to the Guildmaster's office by Lenora, Ray sits on the couch as recommended by the Guildmaster's worker.

"I'm sorry, I let you take the time"

"No, I don't mind. There's no way you're going to explain this request in front of the counter."

"Right. If that happens, it could be a lot of trouble. … so, as soon as possible, can I have the documents from Master Dusker to complete the request?

Nodding at the word, Ray gives it to the worker when he takes the paperwork out of the mistering.

Glimpse of it and finally make sure it has a proper Dusker name on it, nod, then get up off the couch and put it in a box separating the documents that are in the desk.

"Confirmed. I acknowledge that the request is complete.... Still, you're moving fast. I didn't think you'd be home in such a short time."

"There's Seto. Besides, it would be a lot more convenient if I were here, wouldn't it?

"That's it already"

Ray said that half-jokingly, but I guess he didn't think this was going to snort with a serious look either.

But before Ray, who is surprised, the worker nods and opens his mouth.

"Especially big was bringing wood from the Trent woods, after all"

"Uh... Kenny tells me about that area. Sounds like a lot of trouble."

"Yes, there are other adventurers out there who say and do things that made me weird that Mr. Ray isn't around, but I figured I wouldn't even have to worry about that much because that's about it after all"

"Being strong without me... it's not like I'm following the discipline of adventurers."

In the first place, Ray often breaks out quite often.

It was because the majority of that was tangled up with their opponents, but it's nonetheless an unmistakable fact that Ray was rampaged all over the city.

It would naturally be confusing to be told that such a ray was disciplined.

"Well, I don't think you have to worry about that area in particular. Starting tomorrow…"

"Oh, I'm listening. I thought you had eyes on destroying the walls."

"Yes, it took a lot of time, but something like that."

"Craftsmen are often stubborn."

Some of them are soft-headed craftsmen, but most of them seemed to Ray to be stubborn just because they were confident in their arms.

"I have a problem with that, but I also had a problem with the materials. So, what do you say? Can you help me with my work with dirt magic?

"Well, if it's a request. Fortunately, we don't have much work to do right now.... I'd like to dismantle Giganto Turtle or something..."

"Oh, on that matter, maybe we can work together here,"

"Yeah?"

"Neither does the construction of the additions always require the hands of adventurers, and the...... it seems that more adventurers are coming together than we expected. Some of them came from the Bestian Empire and surrounding countries."

"... from the Bestian Empire? Isn't that what you're ordered to explore with the possible addition of a guild?

Previously, Gilm was broken in by the hands of the Bestian Empire, causing several noises.

And Ray was hostile to the Bestian Empire in a way that would get caught up in that noise and eventually he would join the war.

Of course, the Bestian Empire today is not immediately at war because people such as the pro-Mileana kingdom have strong powers.

But that doesn't mean you don't look into the inside of Gilm, where there is a lay of caution among the Mireana kingdoms.

Even in a situation that is not currently hostile, the fact remains unchanged that it is a country that waged war a few years ago and a potential enemy country.

Above and beyond that, one of the three major factions in that country… it would be natural to gather information on how much power it actually has too, if the central figures of the neutrals who know it in the war and the civil unrest that ensued show great movement.

"You're right and wrong. You wouldn't be thinking of clearly hostile to Gilm. But at the same time, it's not surprising to think that we need to see how it works."

"I'm not sure what the hard story is, but for now, you don't have to worry about internal manipulation?

More than destroying walls, there is also the possibility that in the night, a monster will attack you.

If they made strange moves in such a situation, it was certain that it would be a very troublesome thing for Gilm.

But the worker removes Ray's concern by nodding.

"Of course I'm not letting it go completely wild. I'm going to put this hand on it and keep an eye on it. … but I'm sure you'll understand that."

I guess you're after information that you can get as far as you can move as a normal adventurer, beyond showing grandeur that you're from the Bestian Empire.

Ray is so convinced by the words of the worker who explains it.

"I'll leave that area to the Alliance. If that kind of guy had a strange hand over here, we'd be talking about it."

"Ha. I don't think so."

As much as the Bestian Empire, neither will any country understand Ray's strength.

The inhabitants of the Bestian Empire are more famous for Ray's name than the kingdom of Mireana to which Ray belongs.

… Unlike the Kingdom of Mireana, which is basically regarded as a hero because it is basically an adventurer in its own country, it is synonymous with fear in the Bestian Empire.

Still, there is a history of working in civil strife, and some of them are not that scared… on the contrary, some have respect.

Basically, such people are often those who belonged to the guerrilla forces led by Ray during the civil unrest, or who saw Ray's power up close.

"Then fine.... than that, what are your plans starting tomorrow?

"... I would just like a few days off if I were supposed to, but unfortunately I can't afford much time here. More than that, I'd like to ask you quickly about the Trent Forest and the magic of the soil."

"When is the destruction of the wall going to happen?

"I don't know exactly, but I thought maybe a few more days or something"

"A few days, huh? Looks like you're back at a pretty good time."

"Right. Craftsmen who destroy walls are very skilled people. Decide where to destroy it properly and just break the wall there exactly. People with that kind of technology."

"Heh."

What Ray remembered when he heard the workers say was the sight he saw on TV when he was in Japan.

Blowing up buildings in America and dismantling them all at once, such a show.

(Well, when we're talking about workers, we're talking about only part of the wall to break, and I guess it's more plain than that)

Using explosives to destroy everything at once is what surprised Ray, who was watching at the time.

It was such a very flashy and hectic explosion, but you have to do some very close calculations to actually do it, get familiar with the structure of the building and think about the direction it will fall… etc.

(I don't know what that craftsman's skill feels like, but will I look forward to it for a bit)

It feels like seeing it in some kind of attraction, and Ray looks forward to the day when the walls are destroyed.

A broken wall naturally means that there will be no substitute for preventing monsters even at night.

Nor is the junction usually stretched on the guilds as it has always been, than it exists along the walls.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the world will vanish.

There can be no option of not being prepared for monsters attacking from the sky on the periphery.

But still, it wasn't like I could perform as fully as I normally do than destroy some of the walls.

Beyond that, we have a lower priority than alerting the monsters entering from the destroyed walls, but we also need to alert the monsters that still strike from above.

"Anyway, no more rest from there when the walls are destroyed, and we need to proceed with the construction as quickly as we can. In doing so, I thought it would still be important for those who use earthly magic, starting with Mr. Ray."

"... Well, I guess so"

It would not, of course, be possible to create new walls without even the ground and as such.

But the walls made without even the ground and the walls made even.

If you ask me which one is sturdy, it's obviously the one who's even.

Nor is it conceivable that there is some kind of cavity below the ground, although it is unlikely.

I guess the area was well investigated when Gilm was made, but then it's been a long time.

No wonder some monster, or animal, is moving around and drilling holes in the ground near the gilm in the meantime.

Even in the sense of examining it, it was natural that a user of earthly magic would be driven out.

(And...)

The worker looks again at the ray in front of him.

I have naturally never seen the worker himself, but I remember reading in the report that Ray's use of earthly magic is not just an act of evening the ground, but of manipulating it somewhat freely.

In other words, that meant that we could shorten the construction of new walls somewhat.

Ray's cooperation will be essential if we are to do something about the lack of walls any sooner.

"We apologize for any inconvenience, thank you"

Ray nods small at the worker, who has once again bowed his head deeply.

Getting the guilds wider is something to welcome for Ray as well.

I have no hesitation in cooperating with it more than that.

... of course if you told me to work for free, I would refuse to do that.

I work for a formal request this time, of course, so I don't have to worry about that.

Imitation that would let a very capable adventurer escape for the Alliance would not even be considered by the workers.

Most of all, that capable adventurer also causes problems.

"Oh, I know. You're welcome to have a bigger guild."

"It would be helpful if you could say that. So, it's time to get back to this request, okay?

"Hmm? Oh, I don't mind"

That said, you just gave me the paperwork to complete the request, right? With that in mind, Ray explains to the workers his retaliation against the Real Duct.

Because the explanations are not so different from those made for Dusker, Ray was also able to speak fairly smoothly than when he spoke to Dusker earlier.

"... I see. For those in the mine..."

"Did it taste bad?

Ray asks the worker who showed something cloudy, even though he thinks it might be...

But the worker shook his head beside Ray's words like that.

"No, that's not true. Mr. Ray just heard from his client."

The mine collapse, to be precise, was not asked by Dusker, but by Gail, the same neutral as Dusker.

But workers don't do anything to blame it.

It's not like there's anything slightly wrong with Ray's behavior, but still within the scope of this request, I guess that's what he decided to do.

"What are you going to do about the reward for this? I can pay you right away."

"Uh... no, keep it with the rewards for the addition of the guilm. I'll get it together later."

"Well, if that's what Mr. Ray says, it helps as far as this one is concerned. Ordinary adventurers try to get paid as quickly as they can."

The word of the worker is never wrong, but in Ray's case... no, it doesn't fit precisely into that in the case of high-ranking adventurers, including Ray.

In the first place, Ray isn't in trouble for money, so it's a big deal that he doesn't have to rush to get paid.

Besides, it took less effort to collect it later than I planned to get it in the class of ore, starting with flame ore, including this reward.

"Well, it's time for me to go. I haven't told you that I'm back at the marina or the Vihera or the Buune yet."

"Yes, I understand. … we will contact you when we have more information about the wall"

Ray nods at the worker's words and rises off the couch.

(Well, the marina is the transport of Trento forest trees, Vihera and Bühne are the city's policing.... I figured I should go see him from Vihera here)

With that in mind.
