Legend

"Heh. Is Gilm that different?"

Mumble as impressed by Ray's words that Lanigs describes Gilm.

That doesn't look like an act at first glance.

In fact, Lanigs wasn't acting or anything, he was listening to Ray with surprise, so I guess it's natural.

Even Baron Musei's family at Lanigs' home naturally gathers information in Gilm.

The Baron Musei family itself is sometimes the Baron family and not that big a house, but only the kings of the biggest factions, and they have a high degree of influence in that regard.

A number of royalist nobles have sent their men and relatives to Gilm to share information with them.

We don't fully share all the information, and there are more factions within a faction called the Kings, so the information we get is different even under the circumstances around it.

Still, I get a lot of information, but this is how I actually get information from Ray from different sources.

"Hey, Ray. Is it true that all of a sudden a giant forest was formed near the Gilm?

Terez, who was listening to me with Lanigs, asks me that.

Normally, if it means discovering a forest that was there somewhere, it's still impossible that all of a sudden a forest can be found near the city.

But... in the land of the periphery of Gilm, that can be anything.

If it's about the extent to which forests can be found near Ningro Street, it's not surprising that much.

Even if you had that impression, no wonder.

"Uh, you made it. It is said to be the Trento Forest and is used to magically treat the lumber in that forest with alchemy for current additions"

"Heh... that's what border is all about. Sounds a little interesting. Isn't Ara something that can work in the woods?

That word Terez said as he looked at Ara, probably because Ara uses Power Axe as his weapon.

As its name suggests, it has the shape of an axe, so it could work in the woods.

I won't deny that.

"Oh."

Terez, who just thought that Arla was unhappy with her words, turns a surprise gaze.

But Ara doesn't think Terez's words about being active in the Trent Forest were said in a disgusting way.

No, as for Therese, I know I meant to, but I didn't particularly care because if I tried it on Ara, I know what form my weapon has developed.

"Though... if it's about logging trees, it'll be enough to have Lord Ray"

I've never seen Ara in person, but I know her by listening to her.

Even the ordinary jaws are enough to cut a single tree… In some cases it's not uncommon to take an hour, and Ray with Death Size says it's the only way to finish the logging that flashes.

Compared to such a ray, having a magic item called Power Axe doesn't really help me.

"Oh."

I was just wondering if it would stick around as usual exactly, and Therese squeaks just a little too bad.

Still, with Ray, I'm interested in Arla's words, such as enough, and Therese's gaze is directed at Ray.

"Ray can cut trees that light?

"If you ask me if I can do it, I guess I should answer that I can. Nevertheless, my job was basically not to cut trees, but to carry trees that were harvested."

"Oh, I see. Is it more efficient that Ray has an item box and given the weight of the tree"

Like convinced, Lanigus nods.

"That means it's harder to carry a felled tree than to fell a tree, right?

"Right. Think about Therese, too. Which is harder to cut a tree or carry that tree to the gilm? I'm pretty sure Trent's Forest was built on the side of the Guild, but it's not right next to the Guild. It only means nearby compared to other places."

Lanigus is right about that word.

In fact, it is not a short walk to Trento Forest to arrive.

Not to mention if it means loading and carrying that distance into a bespoke carriage with logged trees, that's not surprising if it takes about a few hours.

However, if you have an item box and a ray with a means of travel called Ceto, you will arrive to the Guild in a few minutes.

Therese snorts at Lanigus' words explaining so... but, hey, I notice.

"Is that it? Well, wouldn't it make a difference if Ray didn't just haul the trees, but cut them? That's what we can do right away. But we can do logging, right?

So why don't you just do Ray?

To Therese, who turns her gaze so, Ray lowers her hand, which was eating the sandwich that the maid had brought to me.

By the way, this sandwich was not made by Georgima......

Georgima, who taught me about a dish called Ramen, is quickly challenging its prototype, because it is not the place to be.

So I brought a sandwich made by one of Georgima's men - or a disciple, I should say.

Unlike last night or this morning's meal, the flavor will definitely drop, but that's only compared to Georgima's cooking.

Especially the sandwiches prepared as breakfast are clearly beaten... but still only made by the cooks at the Duke of Kelp's, and obviously taste better than the sandwiches served in the bakery and dining room around there.

Even though a sandwich is such an easy dish that even Ray can make it, Ray was slightly curious as to why the flavor was so distinctly different so far, but now it was ahead of time to answer Therese's question.

"I can cut trees, but if you ask me, I'm just cutting them off. If you are in charge, think about which trees are suitable as building materials and so on. Most of the trees growing in the Trento Forest have been felled."

"And it doesn't make sense to look at the good or the bad in a tree."

"I won't deny that. It's just... I'm not just dating construction. I need to do a lot of other things."

In fact, while Ray helped build the addition, he did a variety of things: he went to the country of Labourina, escorted those who had escaped from it, went to the sea and caught fish…

That way, if there is no one Ray - precisely Seto, so it's one with one person - we won't be able to secure the building materials either.

That could put the construction work itself at a standstill...... it was only natural to put in place a system that would allow us to proceed with the construction of the additions without Ray.

"Hmm. You're busy with Ray. Didn't you and Lady Elaine have time to be amazing?

"Huh!?

Ooh, and.

To that word that suddenly came out of Therese's mouth, Elaine manages to cough up, but avoids imitating it like she blows tea.

Still, whether the tea has entered a strange place or can be swallowed several times...... the ability enhanced by the Enchanted Dragon's Demon Stone quickly returns me from that situation.

... The Enchanted Dragon, who had the Demon Stone inherited by Elaine, would never have thought that the person who inherited his Demon Stone would use his abilities for such a thing.

Either way, Elaine, who manages to return, stares at Therese with a funny grin.

Still, I guess the unmatched kind of pressure we had when we directed it at Geiska meant that Elaine was also properly restraining herself.

"Terez, suddenly what do you say?

"Oh, I was interested in that neighborhood. You do, don't you?

When Terez turns his gaze, Lanigs also thinks a little before nodding back.

"Right. I don't know what kind of relationship you two have...... I hear that's a lot of rumors, and I hear that's a lot of talk among the aristocrats. If so, I'd like to hear the truth about the rumor if I can"

"Until Lanigus... that's not what I say in public, so unfortunately, let me be silent"

With that said, it was obvious without even thinking what Elaine had in mind about Ray when she saw Elaine's cheeks turning thin and red.

Therese and Lanigs would have liked to hear exactly what was going on in that area from Elaine, but still understand the general situation from what Elaine is doing now and stop pursuing it here.

I could have pursued it more persistently, but that's why I decided that such imitation here would probably damage Elaine's mood.

"Well, here's a blatant change of story..."

Around deliberately putting it out in his mouth, Terez 'poor character is represented.

But before Elaine or Arla says anything about it, Therese goes on to say it.

"Did Ray make a request and anything unusual happen? I don't mind if it's funny. If you live as a nobleman, that's not enough excitement."

Ray, who was told the story, wonders what to answer to Terez like that.

In terms of stimulus, that's what Ray has taken on all sorts of requests so far, and he's stuck his neck in the case even where it's not a request.

But there are many of them that people can't seem to say in a detour, and there are many requests that relate to the privacy of others.

Doesn't involve such things...... and what Ray, who thought so, put into his mouth is, in a way, an act that has become one of Ray's hobbies.

"How about a bandit hunt or something like that?

"... Bandit hunting? Is that the word as it is?

Terez turning his gaze on me in an interesting way.

For the aristocratic Therese, a bandit is never actually what I saw with my own eyes.

That was the extent to which people would listen, or it was just like coming out of a fairy tale or something.

"That's right. Normally, we attack bandits who attack merchants and such... some bandits save quite a bit of treasure, and if we capture the bandits themselves alive, we can sell them off as criminal slaves, so it makes a lot of money"

That's what Ray said, but he used to act with Seto, so it was difficult to take the bandits he captured alive as well as to the city and village, basically more often to try to kill them all.

If for any reason he was traveling by carriage... he would have sold the captured bandit to a slave trader.

"Hahaha. Bandits don't attack, they attack bandits? Isn't that better than Ray being a bandit?

"No, if you think of it as a bandit crusade, you've got quite a request as an adventurer, huh?... There are rarely any bandits around the Guild, so Guild doesn't have a request for that hand."

Nevertheless, it is not uncommon for merchants who come to Gilm to hire adventurers as escorts and then fight bandits on the road.

For a bandit, being an adventurer in the Guild is also the worst opponent... on the contrary, if you try being an adventurer, the bandit is also a fruitful opponent.

Though that presupposes that you only have the strength to defeat bandits.

"Bandits attack ordinary people and adventurers attack bandits. If you think about it, adventurers are the greatest."

"I don't know. The adventurer is asked by the average person to do his job, and without the average person in the first place, he has a lot of trouble living. It's him, isn't it?

Some adventurers have a variety of production techniques, starting with alchemists.

That's why if my parents are people like restaurants or bakeries, I've often helped my parents since I was a little girl, and nature and the skill of their hands will be acquired.

But they are not enough to satisfy everyone in the world.

Above and beyond that, it is still the ordinary people who do the work of that hand that allows adventurers to live their daily lives.

In that sense, adventurers are still the greatest...... I can't say they will be at the top.

"I mean, if you're going to say that, wouldn't the greatest be nobility or royalty or something?

"... if you ask me."

"Poor aristocrats like us don't really feel that way, though."

Lanigus pinches his mouth to Ray and Therese's words.

Lanigs' house is a baron's house, an overwhelmingly inferior title if you think of it as a title.

That's definitely not the kind of person who can enjoy tea like this at the Duke's house.

... he doesn't look like that at all.

"Really? I heard it's pretty busy with dishes and baked goods?

"I'm glad you told Elaine that, but it's not that expensive."

In that way, the line didn't even care at all that Gaiska disappeared, and he enjoyed the public discourse.
