The story of a mercenary attacking a birth tower naturally goes into Dusker's ear as well.
No, Ningro was informed by Dusker as a top priority, which would be right.
For Dusker, Lord of the Guild, the presence of the Tower of Birth means a great deal.
If such a place were to be attacked by mercenaries, then naturally those who plotted it… move to find out the mastermind that hired the mercenaries.
"... so? Did you throw up any information?
A grumpy voice comes out of Dusker's mouth as he sorts out the paperwork in the office.
This one case will undoubtedly be my downfall.
If things were to be like negotiating with the Grand Dragonian Empire, one of the raids on the Birth Tower would be the other card.
That's inevitable anymore.
If so, I needed to move to make that damage a little less.
Yes, those who planned the raid have already captured and disposed of.
That's why we needed to capture this one mastermind as quickly as we could.
"Yes."
To his men's words, the look on Dusker's face, which was tight and tight, soothes, albeit slightly.
That's because it was definitely a delightful report from last night.
But... the look on the face of the man who brought the report is not bright.
No, you can say Ning Ro is dark.
Noticed how his men were doing, Dusker turns his gaze once he stops reading the documents.
"What's up? You figured out the mastermind, didn't you? Then we just have to catch him."
"I can't. The mastermind merchant has already left the guild within yesterday…"
"... is that what you came for"
Dusker also learns why his men have such a look on their face, which gives him a bitter look.
If the mercenaries' raids succeed.
If I fail, I won't be in the guild by the time it turns out, so I don't have to worry about getting caught.
"Nevertheless, there's no reason to give up to that extent. Neutral...... and send a letter to a friendly opponent here, even the aristocrats, to make a request to capture the person"
"Ha!"
"Well, I'm glad you got out of Guild in this situation, but don't think you can get away with it."
It was a dusker to complain about in an unpleasant way, but soon a new... and more urgent issue to the mouth.
"So that merchant who attacked the birth tower figured out where he got the information from? At the time of the mercenaries' raid, there was never going to be a lot of people who knew about the birth tower. If so, I think it's easy to understand who passed the information on?
"We're currently investigating. The mercenaries didn't know anything about the area either... I was wondering if we needed to capture the merchants in order to find out more."
"Right. Then hurry up."
Having said that, it was Dusker's decision that it would probably be difficult to identify the person who was circulating the information in this matter.
If we knew we were looking into it, naturally those with dark spots behind us would escape for some reason.
If a mastermind merchant is caught, he or she will also be in danger if he or she circulates information.
Judging by that, there was no reason to stay in the Guild.
Not to mention that Gilm now has construction additions and people come and go very often.
If so, it's not a hard story to escape.
When he drops off his men leaving the office, Dusker drinks water, as if to put out the flames of anger in him.
But that doesn't make all the frustration go away.
"Shit, it does a nasty imitation.... if you want to interfere with us, is it the work of the Kings? It's not unlikely..."
It happened a few months ago, one thing about Cobolt.
No, further from one of the redcloth cases before that, I'm pretty sure the Kings were moving.
If so, it was no surprise that the Kings were moving in a matter like this one.
However, the information in Dusker does not contain information that there are aristocrats in the King's Capital who are particularly moving in the Kings.
To be precise, there are a number of aristocrats who are plotting various schemes, but among them are those who currently launch some kind of attack on Gilm… and so on, not from what we hear from the personnel who are sending them to the King's capital, is more correct.
"Then did the bouncing guys still do it among the Kings? It's not like there's any chance."
Whimpering, sipping water again.
It's getting warmer in the spring, but it's not hot yet.
Still thirsty, I guess, because the current Guild is in a terribly unstable situation and Dusker is under strong stress about it.
"If we behave badly, instead of building more guilds, the guilds themselves could disappear, right?... I won't. Never let that happen."
Whilst whining to tell himself, Dusker managed to figure out a way to make the status quo better.
"Hmm. So you think Lizardman is friendly here?
To the words of the aristocracy she is meeting, Elaine sips a cup of tea and then nods.
"Mm-hmm. I think I already know, but the Lizardman I've been transferring seems to be making a country. Even then, it is obvious that he is highly intelligent. Do you think those Lizardmans would take a hostile attitude toward the person they encounter there for having moved to a place they don't know about?
It was Elaine, who told me in a confident manner, but in fact, some Lizardmans had taken a hostile attitude at first, and most importantly, they were attacking the Greens.
Given the circumstances around it, it is true that Elaine's words are quite impossible.
Nevertheless, it's not even a total lie, beyond the fact that there are friendly Lizardmans like Zozo and Gaga.
"I see.... because is it also possible to negotiate with those Lizardmans?
"Possible."
No way to get lost, instantly nodding Elaine.
This is by no means a lie, for example Gaga has a mock fight with Ray and vows not to attack the Green Man while he is in the land because he lost with it.
It's huge that you can make good promises to Lizardman, even if it's not that big, heavy of a promise.
Of course, I made a promise. But if the other side wasn't going to keep its promise at all, it doesn't make sense.
Promises properly exchanged meant keeping, and being able to make promises was good news for the nobility.
... the monster Lizardman? And it's true that I felt slightly incredible.
"When that happens, shouldn't we move a lot, even as aristocrats? I was wondering if it would be problematic for a neutral to have such a presence alone."
"I know how you feel, but if you poorly get your hands on this one in the present situation, there can be no problem with Lord Dusker. I'd rather wait for you to ask me to give you a hand from the other side, not from here, at least not from here."
"... So, isn't it taking too long?
"Maybe. But the presence of Gaga and Zozo is invaluable. I'd rather proceed with caution than fail in a bad hurry."
The nobility seemed slightly dissatisfied, but if Elaine nevertheless told me so much, I cannot solicit any more.
If you imitate that, your position among the aristocrats will be unsavory.
That's all the influence Elaine has with the alias of General Princess as a symbol of the aristocracy.
That's why I needed to leave now for good.
"Okay. If that's what Elaine says, I won't say anything more from you."
"Uhm, it helps"
Elaine also knows what the nobleman in front of her thought and made such a statement.
But right now, I'm not going to complain about the attitude of such an opponent any more than it would be better if you would leave me in earnest.
On the contrary, it was even the best result if you pulled back so manly.
After that, when we talk to the public enough, the aristocrats eventually leave the room.
"Phew. Honestly, I don't really like this kind of thing."
Elaine shrugs carelessly as she carries warmer tea into her mouth.
Even that bad behavior has to be done because I understand that this is for Ray.
I got involved with a Lizardman named Zozo and Gaga, and even more Zozo has pledged allegiance to Ray.
Ray said things in his mouth, and often made decisive decisions in practice, but he was kind to those within him.
And Zozo is becoming half-body to Ray.
That's why nobles of the aristocracy took the lead and gave a little bit to the Lizardmans, and that couldn't possibly create a crack between them and Dusker, who is protecting the Lizardmans as a result.
In that case, there could also be problems with the relationship between the neutrals and the aristocrats, who currently have friendly relations.
Elaine couldn't admit it, either as a public or private person.... I feel stronger as a private person.
"Dear Elaine, how about some new tea?
That's what Arla asks Elaine when she returns to her room, when she drops off the nobleman who left the room.
But Elaine shakes her neck to the side and then tastes the warmer tea.
"The tea Ara made me is delicious enough even if it gets a little warm."
Praised for her tea-making arm, Ara smiles with joy.
I have been praised many times before, but I am still glad to be praised by my beloved Elaine.
"Thank you. You'll keep up the good work.... than that, I can afford some time until the next one comes, what do you do?
"Hmm, right. How's the yellow doing?
"If you're a porn, you're playing in the courtyard."
I don't even have my best friend Seto, but nonetheless, Yellow was flying around in the courtyard playing.
When she saw it, Ara also wondered what was fun and imitating it like that, but if she was playing in the courtyard, she decided there was no problem and left it there.
"Right. I thought if you were a jerk, you'd leave."
"I'm curious because you're Elaine's demon."
"... does that have anything to do with me?
"Was it dragon language magic? Master Elaine created it with it, so it still has something to do with it?
If Ara tells you that, I can only convince you as Elaine.
Elaine was also aware that she had a strong curiosity, because it was natural to think that it had affected the erotic.
"Anyway, if you're in the courtyard, fine.... There are strange opponents in the Guild right now."
Ray tells me that a mercenary attacked the tower of birth.
It was unclear what I had in mind to do that, but I can predict about why.
Birth tower as a birth tower...... I mean, if it's where Lizardman hatches or grows up, I guess he targeted Lizardman's children and eggs.
What the hell would those people do if they found a black dragon child named Yellow?
That was obvious without even thinking about it.
Yellow has its strong skin and ability to be transparent, and there's nothing like being caught so easily by a malicious opponent.
But still, if you want to catch them, it's possible to catch them.
Strong in terms of defense, but it hurts that I have little habit of attacking the opponent trying to catch me.
(In my case, I'm better at attacking Ningro. If that's what affected me, what can be affected around it as well)
It's boring.
With that in mind, carry the last remaining tea into your mouth.
It was already cold, not warm, tea, but strangely still not unsavory.
Essentially, tea is unsavory when cooked in hot water.
"Dear Elaine, what are you going to do for lunch today?
"Yeah? You know what Marina made me?
It is correct that it is downward precisely, and that after that it is only allowed to pass through the fire.
Both Elaine and Arla can do it normally if that's about it.
Also, the soup kind has no problem if you reheat the rest of the breakfast.
Then don't you have to worry about lunch in particular?
To Elaine, who tells her so, Ara shakes her head to the side.
"No, I thought you might want to try it all over the city once in a while. Yellow will want to do the same."
"... Hmm, outside"
Whimpering, Elaine's gaze is pointed out.
There, the spring soft sun was falling, and I didn't think it was a bad idea to have lunch in the sun like that.
I'm still eating in the garden in the morning in the morning sun, but I thought it wouldn't be a bad meal to eat in the daytime sun.
"Right. Well, let's say we do that after we finish our interview with the rest of the morning's visitors."
It might be interesting to go see Ray at the birthday tower.
With that in mind, Elaine laughed.
