Labourina Country.
It is the same as the Kingdom of Mireana in terms of a royal state, but its size is very different.
It is one of several small countries in the vicinity of the Kingdom of Mireana, a country treated as belonging to the Kingdom of Mireana.
Most importantly, it is a position of belonging, but it is not treated so badly.
Every year it is necessary to pay the Kingdom of Mireana money in the name of a security deposit, and several people are sent by the Kingdom of Mireana to the national political arena of the country of Labourina, but diplomatic freedom is nevertheless guaranteed to some extent.
Also as a force of war, an army is staying from the Kingdom of Mireana, and the necessary funds are being given out by the State of Labourina at that time, but there is nothing like being attacked by other countries in the vicinity because of the army of the Kingdom of Mireana.
It's not a country that has the characteristics that it was at some point, it's really a country like a normal little country.
Not very much, but it did not seem to those who were on the spot to imitate hostilely against the kingdom of Mireana in the Sovereign Nation.
"Take it easy. Like I said, it's not like the great lady of Labourina told us to bring a woman. It's just my organization."
"... Still, what would happen if the people of the Labourina country caused disturbances in this country? I don't think he knows anything about it."
That's what Elaine tells Ajas to say with a difficult look on her face.
In fact, that word is not wrong.
If the State of Labourina were to cause harm to the Kingdom of Mireana this time, there is no doubt that some penalty will be imposed by the Kingdom of Mireana on the State of Labourina, whether that is due to the will of the State of Labourina or not.
It also caused all this commotion in a guild ruled by a neutral central figure, Dusker.
Naturally, that penalty would be severe.
The aristocracy and neutralism have recently become friendly relations, and the kings and neutralists are not hostile. But that is only inside the Kingdom of Mireana.
If it is in the interest of the Kingdom of Mireana in this one case, even if the neutrals have been harmed, the Kings and nobles will have nothing like putting their hands on the state of Labourina.
... Although it may be honest that the Kings want more damage done to the Neutralists if they can.
"Is it true...?
At first it was Elaine, who didn't believe Ajas' words, but seeing how Ajas tells it that way too dignified, I doubt it.
If it were normal, it would be incredible for a subordinate country to imitate something like a half-attack on a sect.
But if I look at the grand ajas I feel like maybe...
"True. You think I'm going to imitate the kind of lies you're going to tell here, even though Rebejeff and Haston's lives are at stake? If you imitate that, that's what you're gonna do to your people. Do you think I'm going to be chosen either for my organization or for my people's lives?
If you say so, Elaine, and those around her, cannot help but be convinced.
Even from Ray, who doesn't know the country Rabrulina, it's clear how Ajas feels about the two of his people.
More than that, it is Ray's decision that the words out of Ajas' mouth deserve to be trusted.
... although naturally I don't peddle all of Ajas' words, I guess I need to get the information out of the others and take the back.
"Yes. Then I ask you once and for all, it was your decision to come to Gilm? Or an order from the organization?
"That's an order from the organization."
Elaine followed by Marina asks, but Ajas also tells this one without any particular hesitation.
It is not clear to those who hear whether the word is true or not.
But if you think about the facts Ajas has ever spoken or about his people, there's a good chance that it's true.
"But you want to take a woman to be a whore?... Why did you bother to imitate that... hey, was there some sort of prejudice or something about a whore named Rabrulina?
"No, I don't think you did. For better or worse, it feels like a normal country."
"Right?... because you forcibly take away only beautiful women and improve the quality of whores?
"It's not like whorehouses are state owned, is it? So you're coming to another country just to improve the quality of whores? No, I don't know if that's the same subordinate country, but why bother coming among the Sovereign Kingdoms?"
A face of intelligence exchanges words only in a whisper with a companion nearby.
But Ray, who originally had a sharp five senses, Elaine, who inherited the Enchanted Dragon's Demon Stone, Dark Elf's Marina, Vihera, who absorbed Ambris, and the Bandit's Beaune.
Those outside Ara who were there mostly had a sharper sense than normal people, so the conversation between the men in the intelligence unit was well heard.
(What does that organization want after all? To collect hookers... maybe nominally, I'm pretty sure I'm doing something behind it. Just don't know what Ajas and the others are doing behind it. Well, normally I can't help thinking about it)
Take the risk of going out of your way to another country… it also goes to the kingdom of Mireana, the Sovereign kingdom.
If we could find it, the country itself called Labourina could be in danger, so even those in the country should have had no hesitation in crushing the organization to which Ajas and the others belonged.
Why imitate this in the knowledge of such dangers?
That's what Ray didn't understand.
(Possibly, the organization itself was getting some sort of backup from someone in a key position in the country, even if it didn't go that far? No, still you don't know why I do this imitation)
Towards Ray, who is so troubled, Ajas opens his mouth.
"I gave you the information. This is gonna save our lives, isn't it?
"... right"
To Ajas' words, Ray turns his gaze to Ilse.
There, Ilse was staring at Ajas with a murderous gaze.
If I say forgive Ajas here, I'm pretty sure Ilse would run wild.
There's a big commotion going on, and it doesn't necessarily mean that Gestal or his men won't get away with it.
And most importantly...
"Yeah, I thought about it, but I figured keeping Ajas alive would be a lot of trouble. Unfortunately, you can't keep the other two alive."
Ray didn't feel any value in keeping Ajas alive.
Here life is all equal and above all honorable...... and if anyone can be so assured, maybe this matter has also become a problem.
But fortunately, no one here should say such a thing.
"Stupid! Why just us? I thought Ajas was gonna help us, too!
It was usually Rebejeff with a slightly softer language, but in this situation where Ajas'...... fellow lives are about to disappear, it would also be natural for the language to get rough.
Ray opens his mouth with a cold gaze at the way he screams wildly.
"How many, dozens, or more of you have killed so far? Even the murderer was as worried about Ajas as you were about to be killed. But you've killed it anyway.... But why would you call me that if you were in such a position?
I don't understand it from the bottom of my heart.
With such a gaze on him, Rebejeff tries to say something...... he understands how cold the gaze Ray is pointing at himself and has to shut his mouth.
In fact, if you try Rebejeff, it's a decision that your people matter but what else can happen.
That is by no means wrong, but the answer was no if they still asked if we could break the status quo.
"Keep your mouth shut when you know it. Your life will be saved at least, so be satisfied."
"Wait! If you kill Ajas, I won't say anything! That should be the same for Huston!
It wasn't Ray... it was one of the men in the intelligence unit who returned words to Rebejeff like that.
"If you can imitate that you're not going to tell us anything after our interrogation, I think you can be proud of that. So far, no one's been able to do that."
Intelligence units are not a public organization.
So unlawful interrogation...... that's what you should call torture is not so much to blame.
No, if it's just torture, it's not that uncommon.
To that extent, more than the meaning of the term human rights has not been clearly defined, this is normally done.
In the first place, if there is a word for human rights, then the very existence of slavery becomes a problem.
"Come on!"
I guess Rebejeff understands the area, too. Stuck in words.
"Enough about Ajas?
"Yes."
Seeing Rebejeff shut up, Ray asked a person in the intelligence unit.
Originally it was decided that Ilse would take Ajas' figure, but Dar told me he wanted more or less information, so the intelligence man tells me that's fine.
Seeing that, Ray once again calls out to Ilse.
"That's why. You put up with me. After that, do as you please."
To Ray's words, Ilse nodded silently without uttering a word.
With the dagger in his hand, he slowly, slowly reduces the distance from Ajas.
"Wait! Ajahu!
Rebejeff tried to say something against Ilse, but an intelligence man who was nearby put a cloth on Rebejeff's mouth to seal the words.
Nor did he seem to care at all about such an exchange, and Ilse approaches Ajas.
Ajas was silent and staring at Ilse like that, not saying anything.
Whatever you say here, I guess you understand it's no use saying anything more than you don't think Ilse will stop revenge.
There's nothing we can do about it in the current situation, surrounded by the Rays, to take any action at all.
"Father, mother, brother. The sin of taking away three of my family members... make amends with their lives."
"Right. Apparently, that's it for me now. But, okay?
To Ajas' words, Ilse stops moving.
Originally, I was going to ignore Ajas' words and take that life with a dagger as it were.
But for some reason, Ilse, who hears Ajas' words, stops the move.
Maybe even words of life begging come out of Ajas' mouth.
I guess I had that thought.
I want Ajas to suffer precisely because he takes revenge.
In that sense, it was Ilse's idea to welcome him if he was going to beg for his life.
But...... there is no humble color in Ajas' eyes at the end of Ilse's gaze.
Ningro, I'm looking at Ilse with some provocative eyes.
"I wonder what? Whatever you say now, it doesn't make any difference how you die."
"You, isn't this the first time you've killed a man? Of course I'm not saying it with any certainty, but as far as you're concerned, I think so.... What do you say?
It was a picture star.
Originally, my activities as an adventurer also focused on collecting Ilse.
There is no reason why people should be killed.
Still, Ilse is not going to stop the act of killing Ajas, or hesitate.
"Apparently it's a hit. This is the first time I'm going to kill someone, and I'm going to give you advice from me for killing so many people."
"Advice?"
"Oh.... if you mean to kill me, that would be good too. But by the time you kill me, you'll be part of the killer. That also means you'll be just like me."
"No!
Ilse immediately denies Ajas' words.
But Ajas heard such Ilse's words and shook his neck to the side.
Blood splashes all around him with impact from his hand, which was holding him back where his right ear was, but Ajas opens his mouth without the way he cared about it.
"It's not the same. For whatever reason, it means murder. Then you're right.... it's cheaper to have people's lives in this world."
To that word, some of the intelligence forces nod that they agree.
Intelligence units include some who were Egg's men, others who were pulled out of adventurers, former assassins… that's what makes them so diverse.
Because of these people, we can understand Ajas' saying that people's lives are cheap.
In fact, when adventurers take a rank-up exam, they need to survive the test of killing bandits with their own hands.
"... and I will kill you."
With that said, again, Ilse packed the distance from Ajas... to his head, waving his dagger down.
