This time, Jaya, the reason why the Rays came all the way to Labourina.
Sometimes Lutus is the son of the person who leads the jar, and I had a lot to ask...
"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you that"
"Sorry, but I can't tell you that"
"I can't tell you"
When I hear a lot about Jaya, I mostly get those words back.
But Ray also figured out that that's not how Lutus was trying to pull some kind of reward out of the mean, let alone Ray.
Because when I tried to get the information out of an underground facility in Mejougo, there was a lightly dead person.
There is no way that Ray and the others can imitate Lutus by forcing him to give us information beyond that possibility.
(Most likely, Lutus didn't answer what he didn't want to answer... backwards. troublesome)
Lost as to what questions to ask Lutus next, Ray speaks to Elaine and the others who were watching what happened behind her back.
"Is there something you want to ask me? I don't know if I'm gonna answer that, but if you just ask, it's free."
"It's not like I don't want to answer either. Just saying there's something I can't tell you."
I guess I felt a slight thorn in Ray's words.
Lutus tells her as if to defend her words.
"In the meantime, is it almost impossible for Jaya to ask questions about the organization? Because... this cave is next. You said there were over a thousand giants, right?
To Ray, who asks in the sense of asking for confirmation, Lutus does not say he cannot answer, but snorts back firmly.
Make sure of that, Ray gets to the point.
"Then I'll ask. How's all that giant food going? I saw the sight of a giant giving birth in that underground facility. When she came out from eating her mother's stomach, she even ate her body."
As I explained, I guess I remembered the sight then.
Not just Ray, but the others...... that's usually even the faceless Bühne frowns at the discomfort.
"More than a thousand such appetizing giants. How are you filling all those giant bellies? No way, you're feeding a bat in a cave or something like that, right?
"Oh, that's easy. The giant is basically asleep. That's not until I give you some kind of order."
"... sleeping?
That's what they said and what Ray remembered were the giants that were circling around the black crystal.
But at that time, he attacked himself even if he didn't seem to have done anything in particular.
That's not who ordered it.
(I dare say someone gave the order... I guess the black crystal gave the order, is right)
I don't know what means to use, but the black crystal perceived the Rays' existence and decided that it was harmful to me.
And I moved the giants so that they wouldn't imitate me like that.
With that in mind, Ray also understands why the Titans have attacked themselves.
"With that said, the giants were still asleep when we found the black crystal... but I looked like I was giving that one some energy to the giants. But isn't that only possible because the giant was on the side of the black crystal? Even though I don't have black crystals, I don't think the giant's belly swells when he's asleep?
"... I can't go into details about that area."
Ray sighs again at Lutus, who tells him so by way of example.
But if you force me to say it any more, an important source dies.
If that's the case, there's no way we can force it.
"Right.... that black crystal, you broke it was a failure"
Precisely, Ray would be right to say that he didn't break it in an attempt to break it, but that something like defensive instinct worked against the black crystal that tried to erode Ray's spirit and activated the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor, causing it to disappear.
"What?"
It was Lutus who reacted first to Ray's whining like that.
No, not just Lutus, but those who remain as escorts around him also have the look of having no idea what Ray said.
"Uh... Ray. Maybe I heard wrong, but I heard you say you broke the black crystal?
"Oh, yeah"
"... it's more accurate to say that I didn't destroy it, I wiped it out."
Elaine tells, as she supplements Ray's words.
Extinction? and Lutus, hearing the word, turned an incredible gaze from Ray to Elaine.
Lutus is once again blinded here by Elaine and other faceted beauty, but still soon got out of what should be called the curse of that beauty, I guess, because it's the content of a story you'll never miss for Lutus.
The black crystal is the only one that is central to the actions of the state of Labourina, the superior organization of the current Jaya...... no, the substantial Jaya.
At the same time, it is also a super-class hazard that many have ever tried to figure out their abilities, breaking their spirits and rendering them obsolete.
Naturally. It is the black crystal that creates the giant, manipulates that giant... not to mention has such an extraordinary ability - there was - to use the collar of a slave to change the consciousness of his opponent.
Naturally, there are by no means a few people in the country of Labourina or Jaya who wanted to unravel the secrets of their abilities.
However, where several abolitionists were created, the decision was made that black crystals should be used rather than figured out, which was the current situation.
Destroying that black crystal would naturally surprise you, even if it's a lutus that doesn't break some floating attitude from time to time, because they heard it was extinguished.
Even those gathered as escorts of Lutus were surprised to hear the story, so it is a testament to how much the shock was.
"I don't believe it...... no, I'm an adventurer with an alias, so is it natural to do that much? Still...... after all, I can't believe it"
Again Ray's...... Lutus can only be surprised to see what an alias adventurer looks like in front of him.
As the son of one who leads Jaya, Lutus has also met with various adventurers before.
Still, in the end, he's an adventurer in a small country like the Labourina Nation.
It was not uncommon for people to say that they were skilled, but only to the extent that a few steps of their arms fell, compared to the elites in Jaya.
But the people in front of me... No, not the people.
Once again, I was able to realize that it was not so much the skilled adventurers in the country of Labourina, but the most skilled of the great powers, the Kingdom of Mireana.
Most likely, the Rays were not particularly concerned about how Lutus was doing, but were discussing what they would do.
"What do we do? If you ask me anything far-fetched here, I'll kill Lutus... and then, you know, don't you feel like some kind of creepy thing later?
Lutus is also definitely part of an organization called Jaya, where Ray is disgusted.
No, he's the son of the one who leads Jaya before he was a member of the organization.
Still, for some reason, I didn't think Ray would mind killing Lutus like the others.
If you ask me if I can tolerate an organization called Jaya, I will immediately say no.
"Right. It's been quite a while since we exchanged here, and it's not surprising to think we're preparing for an interception, among other things. So, what do you say we take him as a hostage?
"... hostages, huh. I don't mind that, but if you try to imitate that, those escorts will resist, okay?
As Vihela seems just a little intrigued, she turns her gaze to the escorts around Lutus.
The person who fought Ray was an opponent with considerable skill.
I want to fight if I can fight, even with the same skill... or slightly inferior skill.
That's what I thought.
Red tongue licks her lips sluttily.
The guards near Lutus feel cold in the spine as do the guards who have been hiding and protecting Lutus since one of the previous incidents.
That is as if it were a herbivore thrown out before a carnivore.
But such fears and fearless thoughts fit in with the words Elaine uttered at the next moment.
"Vihera, keep it around there"
"Oh, I'm sorry. Stick"
I know you didn't mean to intimidate your opponent in person, but nevertheless, signs of seeking a fierce battle released from Vihella were enough to atrophy the escorts.
(You're a problem kid again in a different way than Ray)
Paying attention to Vihera, Elaine thinks she'll make it.
Usually quite… it was only a fairly common sense Vihera, but when it comes to fighting, that common sense also blows up.
"So, are you sure you want to leave Lutus here for now? Or you won't be able to tell me the information, but do you want me to take you for when something happens?
"That would be nice, but a lot of people would put us at a lot of disadvantage, wouldn't they? Not to mention the fact that an escort wouldn't allow you to take only one lutus"
Marina's gaze reaches the ears of the guards around Lutus and the other guards hiding around.
When I hear that, a few seconds ago, fear against Vihera...... no, each of the guards who was in awe retrieves me and nods back.
That's what they decided they needed to protect Lutus as an escort.
I can also see that it is not commensurate with my strength, but nevertheless doing the job entrusted to me firmly favors those who see it.
(Well, so Jaya's cooperating with an organization is subtle)
While I think that way, I think about what lies ahead... eventually Ray shakes his neck sideways.
"If I'm going to take the other guys, I'm going to have a lot of trouble, so should I stop them?"
Regardless of Lutus, some escorts are unhappy with the way Lutus does it.
It is also clear that someone attacked Ray earlier.
A glance at a man who still doesn't look like he woke up from a stun, Ray tells him so.
The escorts on Lutus' side showed a slight dissatisfaction with the fact that they were suspected, but still did not actually speak out of dissatisfaction.
"Then... is it okay to ask about the inside of this cave?
"Oh, that's not a problem. It's just not as wide in here as it sounds. Simply put, there is a divide when you cave in and go for a while. Proceed to the left and you will reach the place where the people of Jaya are. And go right and you'll reach where the giants are."
"... that's a lot simpler. Sometimes it's a cave, and I just thought it was pretty mixed inside."
There are many things Ray knows about caves that are literally like mazes......
Besides, even that knowledge doesn't mean that I checked it with my own eyes, but the knowledge I gained from cartoons, comics, and novels when I was in Japan.
Ever since I came to this world, I've seen several caves, including the ones that have become bandits' aside, mostly not that complicated.
"Well, because that's not the kind of place where you can accept giants in large numbers. This was the biggest place I could find. Yeah, and naturally, but caves are down, so you should be careful."
If you say so, Ray will have to convince you too.
In fact, when there are more than a thousand giants, there's no doubt that they won't be collecting them anywhere.
Because such imitation would undoubtedly expose the presence of giants.
There is no doubt that the presence of giants is still known in the Resistance, but it will only be the Resistance or a few close to it.
But if we properly gather giants around it, they will undoubtedly be known to the various.
Neither Jaya nor Labourina can be allowed to do so.
"So, how many people are in there?
"That's about twenty. Yeah, of course, the escorts are out."
Twenty.
Ray doesn't even know if there's a lot of them.
However, given that there were few people in the underground facility located in Mejougo, it may be said that there are many.
Most of the researchers were evacuated because of our raid.
With that in mind, Ray asked a lot more about the cave.
