Legend
1755 words
A few days after the day Ray hunted Gamelion...... that day, on the side of Gilm's main gate, there was a Dusker figure.
Naturally, Dusker isn't the only one there.
Some are entrusted with escorting Dusker, while others are aides to Dusker.
It was a natural story, but it would stand out if you imitated it like that.
Dusker is the lord of Gilm, so a lot of people knew who it was.
Some of those who were coming for the construction of the Gilm did not know Dusker's face, but were immediately convinced, and at the same time surprised, who it was if they were told around.
I was wondering if anyone would even come.
In fact, it's not strange if someone important comes because this is the only massive addition.
... In that sense, Elaine, the princess general, is definitely an important figure as well.
"Excuse me for a moment. Is Master Dusker out of town on purpose?
A merchant who was about to enter the guild finds a guard who just knew him and speaks up.
The guards look around at the words of such merchants.
Because so many people are gathered together, no one cares about themselves talking to merchants.
The merchant talks all the time here to the guard who understands that and still wonders if I can say it.
"Tonight, at the Sudras Pavilion, we'll treat you to a skewer of gamelions."
"... Mm, Kohon. I can't help it. If you say so, I'll tell you."
Sudras Pavilion is a restaurant where meat dishes… especially meat dishes that go well with alcohol are delicious and people know them.
So now is the season - the season is almost over, to be exact - and having Gamelion skewered was too rewarding for the guards.
Most of all, other guards who leaked such stories were gazing at the guard.
But I won't do anything to blame the guard for his condition.
Of course, if this were to divulge some sort of important classification, my fellow guards would have stopped it.
But one thing today is not something you have to hide that far through.
On the contrary, it is a more effective substitute for informing others, and Dasker's - his men, to be exact - hired throughout the city are spreading information about those who are coming.
If so, there is no problem at all with the guards spouting that information here.
On the contrary, if you put it inside the guild, the information around it is usually obtained without having to imitate it to luxury the skewering of the gamelion.
In that sense, the merchant would obviously have lost money, but naturally the guards who know that say nothing.
You can eat gamellion skewers at a delicious restaurant.
"You know what a Labourina country is?
"Uh... it's the kingdom of Mireana, isn't it? Besides, it's pretty small in my country."
It was a merchant's word to answer to remind me of something, but it is rare in some ways that I know the name of a small country called the Labourina Country.
You know that now? The guard I heard has a slightly surprising look when answered lightly.
"Surprised, you knew me well"
"Yeah, well, it seems our grandfather was from a village close to the Labourina Country"
"Right. Well, in brief. Refugees from Labourina are coming to the Guild. It's an acceptance."
"... refugees, is it? Is that why Lady Dusker's out of town?
Many people come to the Guild in search of work, even if they don't even have to be refugees.
That is particularly remarkable now that we are working on an additional building.
But why bother to go out of the Guild to welcome a man of high rank, Uncle Borderline, for the refugees?
It was natural for a merchant to have such doubts.
But the guards laugh at the words of such a merchant.
If, of course, it is the class of a few refugees who come, it is not necessary for Dusker, Lord of Gilm, to greet them in this way on purpose.
But...... it would have been a different story if it had been a group of nearly a thousand people, all of whom were in carriages, and even more able to use only the bow between the arrival of the country of Labourina and the Guild.
Most of them are right that only a few actually use bows, and most of them use their high combat power by shooting arrows in large numbers.
And most importantly... it was Ray, who was so dependable to Dusker, who led them.
There is no doubt that the refugees who come will also be very reliable for Dusker than they are.
There are many exceptions, like the aliases and high-ranking adventurers, starting with Ray, but still the truth that numbers are power does not change.
We wanted it from ourselves, and that's all the power comes to the Guild, so there was no option for Dusker not to welcome it.
Of course, not everyone who comes will be in the guards or the military, and Dasker will be in trouble if Ning Ro does.
Still, some of it… was well trained and the best development was for the faces that deserved to be called instant warfare to become a force of war.
"Here they come!
And, accidentally, a man among the guards who is said to have good eyes screams.
At first, it was not in the eyes of the others, but a little while later, some of the good eyes... and even later, the others notice a large number of carriages that are gradually visible.
Naturally, a single street alone cannot manage to do more than a hundred carriages, and many carriages stick out of the street.
Dusker and his men, who had heard the story, were surprised to actually see more than a hundred carriages.
Of course, this is not the first time you've seen this number of carriages.
That's why, during the war of the Bestian Empire, a thousand cars... no, because it's not uncommon for a carriage to move just over 10,000 if you put everything together.
But still, when I looked at it again with my own eyes, there were things that I thought were different.
"Ray."
"Yes?"
Dusker calls Ray, who was waiting near him.
This one case starts with Ray's actions.
Of course, for that reason... it may be more natural in some ways than it was Dusker who asked Gilm to retaliate against an organization that had put up a little bit of a scratch.
"Let me ask you something, I'm pretty sure it's in that carriage herd, huh?
"Right.... or if all the carriages except Ning Lo Sura and the others came all the way to Gilm, it's going to be a lot of trouble."
More than a hundred carriages emerged from nowhere.
If such a thing existed, it was going to be a big deal no matter what you think.
Naturally, Dusker understands Ray's thoughts like that, but he still naturally wants to say it.
"Nevertheless..."
Dusker, who was watching a bunch of approaching carriages, whines inadvertently.
What is it? And when Ray turned his gaze, there was an unexpectedly harsh look on Dusker's face.
Ray is a little surprised at what such a Dusker looks like when he just thought he was going to say it in a light way no matter what exactly.
"What's wrong with you? Something about that bunch of carriages... even bothering the Suras?
"No, it's the Zorgay Chamber of Commerce. Even though I had a carriage ready to go first, if I were to have that many, I would have needed a lot of money. This means that the Zorgay Chamber of Commerce was making so much money despite the Chamber of Commerce of a small country called the Labourina Country"
The look on Dusker's face of whining has a bitter color.
Naturally. The fact that the Zorgay Chamber of Commerce made money in the country of Labourina has to do with the work Jaya was doing... bringing the women here by force to fit the collars of slaves, brainwash them and make them work as prostitutes.
Dusker doesn't even know if he was involved in the fact that he was the mother of giving birth to a giant. I don't know...
"Sounds like the Zorgay Chamber of Commerce was serious about moving its base to Gilm in earnest."
"Huh? You said that around here before, didn't you? I also spoke with the Zorgian Chamber of Commerce's Gimecameras in a pair of orbs."
"Oh. But they're merchants. Maybe moving bases to Gilm was a lie.... No, I was thinking about the possibility that even if we were to create some sort of base, it might just be an ostensible substitute. But when I saw this, I thought I meant it."
Dusker's position is that more Guilm-based chambers of commerce are to be welcomed.
Even so, there are now some additions to the Guild, because it is honest that those living in the spread want to secure as much as possible.
It's not a bad story for Dusker either that the Chamber of Commerce with a certain power will come there.
I know that... Still, in the case of a said chamber of commerce like the Zorgay Chamber of Commerce, I don't know if I'd be happy.
Not to mention because that's what they say about gimecameras seconded by the Zorgay Chamber of Commerce when they do business with illegal organizations when they talk to each other in a pair of orbs.
"It depends on Dusker's skill."
"Don't make it easy for me."
Even though I give that back to Ray's words, he doesn't look grumpy to Dusker.
In fact, I guess it's only natural that it's up to Dusker to decide what to do with the Zorgay Chamber of Commerce.
That's how the carriage herd approaches while we talk... eventually the leading carriage stops near Dusker and the Rays.
The leading carriage is followed by other carriages, and eventually the doors of the leading carriage open, as if they had been gauging the timing.
What emerged from it were those who led this horde of carriages to this point, even those who could be called central figures.
Four people: Sura, Sharia, Gimekala and Rocks.
Sharia, who doesn't like the place, knows she needs it now.
I was looking pretty cramped, but still the four of them out of the carriage move in front of Dusker and poke one knee.
"Dear Dusker. Thank you for accepting us. On top of this, we want to define this guild as our living place and contribute to its development."
Representing the four, Sula tells them so.
Sura ended up being the representative of this group.
With such a view of the four near Dusker, Ray is convinced of the proper outcome.
First of all, the Rocks were originally Gilm adventurers, and this escort was also a job - which I can no longer call a job altogether because I ended up dating Sulla - something I was going to.
Sharia has been treated as Sura's subordinate - actually a friend.
The main thing is to move the home of the Zolghe Chamber of Commerce to Gilm, and that's not to sum up this group.
As a result, only Sura remained.
Sometimes he originally led the resistance, and it is significant that there were no problems in terms of who everyone was comfortable with.
"He used to take a long journey to the Guild. The wounds you've sustained will be deep. But hopefully it will heal more or less by living in the Guild."
The words of Dusker, who tells him so, show off the piercing locks in the position of faction leader.
I don't usually have that attitude intentionally, but Dusker is also the head of a faction called the Neutralists.
If so, naturally, if the person intends to do so, the attitude can also be commensurate.
"Thank you. Dear Dusker and his men, I have nothing to thank you for."
"Never mind. You will be the people of Gilm from now on. That means it's the same thing that's gonna be my family. For the sake of his family, it's only natural."
Dusker's words were somewhat exaggerated, but at the same time included authenticity.
That's what Sura figured out, too, leaning over but shivering her body.
No, that's not just Sura. Other faces are shaking their bodies, somewhat like that.
Especially for the Rocks, who started dating Sulla, Dusker's warranty would be more than anything else.
"Look, stand up. The hard part is over around here. It's time to go inside. Salaziros!"
One man approached the call of Dusker, a civilian and a man who was a little further away.
"This Saraziros will take care of you for a while. If you don't know anything, ask this guy."
"My name is Saraziros. Thank you for your patience."
The tricks of a deeply gracious man in his forties were so sophisticated that all the suras who raised their faces were accidentally blinded.
