"Thank God."
Saying so, the knight bows his head to the adventurers.
It must be huge that only the knight, who is supposed to be in charge of this occasion, was able to catch no more than one opponent who came to scout.
He also seemed happy when he was grilling and eating fish with Cerberus meat and fangs at dinner, but the grin floated by the capture of those who came here for reconnaissance is another different grin than when he ate.
(Speaking of which, you didn't catch that fang fish after all)
Turns out there was no demon stone, and Ray lost his motivation, which was why.
Most importantly, the taste of the fish itself was quite delicious and only large, and it had its own quantity, so it might be promising if viewed as an ingredient.
"Never mind. We've been entrusted with escorts here, so we just did our job.... but you didn't expect more than ten people to come at a time, regardless of one or two. We're all in this together to see it."
Those caught were all wearing the same masks in black.
No matter what everyone actually has to do with this, persuasion doesn't exist there.
"When that happens, it doesn't matter where the hands are... or who they hire. Although, these people don't break their mouths easily."
Ha, and. Knight grunting so with sigh.
Sometimes it's easy to throw up bosses and employers in some cases, but unfortunately these black dressed men don't look that type.
"Does anybody recognize those guys in their faces?
They were all masked, but now that they have been bitten by monkeys, the mask has also been stripped off as a matter of course, and the face has been stripped off.
Given that there are more than ten of them, maybe it's not strange to have someone who looks familiar in this man's face, I guess that's what the knight also asked... and what came back to that was that everyone shook their necks sideways.
"Don't you recognize anyone? All of them?"
If you were a knight, it wouldn't be strange if there was someone familiar about one, and that's what you would have expected if you could possibly capture one of them from there into a potato ceremony.
But such a knight's hopes are shattered and scattered without any hesitation.
"Given the number of Gilm residents today, it may not be that strange... but still... hmmm..."
He was a knight who started thinking about something, but Ray calls Zozo for now.
It was sudden that Seto discovered the men in black with their sense of smell, so he was rushed to capture them.
As a result, the Lizardmans were not briefed on the circumstances.
In fact, there were some adventurers left on this scene, so I guess I could have done it if I wanted to explain... somehow in the course of the conversation, the Lizardmans also decided they should wait now.
If Gaga found out about this one, it could be affecting that she could have done something like go to battle.
Either way, Zozo nods as convinced by Ray's explanation.
'I understand the reason for this one. But then... when we already know about the Tower of Birth, should we think so?
"I guess. It's not strange to think that one or two of us accidentally got lost, or let's just see how it goes because it's suspicious but we don't know what it is. But when all these people come together, I'm pretty sure it's a good idea to know what's going on here.... and then..."
Ray, who stopped the words halfway through, thought of the adventurers who were being chased by Kobolt.
(In the day they came, so many of them, that too, their fighting power was commensurately good for covert operations anyway. Can you think of this by chance?
Maybe there's a real chance that it's a coincidence.
But from Ray's point of view, it was also true that very much that was not an issue that could be cleaned up by chance.
"Hey, for once I ask... those adventurers that were being chased by Kobolt, Master Dusker is still securing them, right?
"What? Ah, oh. Of course you're right...... hey, are you trying to tell me that maybe these guys came because they leaked information from those adventurers?
"I think there's plenty of potential"
"No, but... but..."
If what Ray is saying is true, that means the Lords' Hall security is sweet.
I don't know if the adventurers escaped, or if they got the information out in any way.
I don't know, but if you think of it as a possibility, you can never deny it.
A knight who shows his grit with the thought of not wanting to admit it and the thought of having to admit it.
"So those adventurers were after you from the beginning?
"I don't know that far. It's just... it's a better idea now, but most of them were equipped with signs of some use."
"They said he was the one who gave it to you?
"Weapons, armor, everything? That's a little unbelievable.... but only if I think about it like this now."
Show Ray's words how the other adventurers were convinced.
Nevertheless, such a thing is only a matter of now.
That's what I needed to think and point out when I met those adventurers.
"Anyway, you just have to ask these guys about the details around here. Some knights or something, they specialize in interrogation, don't they?
"Oh."
Nodding knight.
As a knight, I guess I don't find the existence of the back very interesting, to say the least.
But I'm pretty sure the talent in that hand is essential.
From the grid around it, the knight's words must have gone short.
Ray glances at such a knight, but says something else.
"Nevertheless, when so many reconnaissance personnel arrive, how far do you think the information on this lake is spreading?
"Right. For once the adventurers here are basically not moving out of here. If that happens, I can't imagine information leaking out of here. And then... is there any chance of information leaking from the owner of the carriage who's bringing food or something?
"Some of them, the lake knows the tower of birth anyway, right? Then it's possible they tipped off the liquor store."
Adventurers who speak for their opinions.
It is likely that the source of this group of black outfits is those adventurers, but that is not yet confirmed.
Those in black will be severely questioned - in some cases tortured - but the adventurers who are currently in the dungeons of the Lords' Hall will not be as severely questioned as those in black, but they will be questioned.
I don't know if I'll be honest with you.
"Anyway, from here on out, there's nothing we can do about it. The Knights in the Guild will take care of the guards, and we'll be on guard."
Other adventurers snort at Ray's words.
It's not like the adventurers don't have anything to think about this one.
It's possible that the person we helped was actually acting to get information.
Nevertheless, if you are doing it as an adventurer...... not to mention if you are as handsome as you have been chosen by your guild to be entrusted with escorting you here, you have experienced betrayal once or twice.
Although there is more to this case than that, there can be no such thing as being shocked and depressed enough to see it.
"Right. Do you want to keep a close watch first? I can't deny the possibility that these guys are an advance team."
"So you're saying we get these guys and there's another one coming where we're at ease?
"Wow... I hate it when it seems kind of normal. Nevertheless, if Seto is there, he will attack... no, not attack, but reconnaissance of a lake or something. Even with a guy like that, you'll find..."
"Oh, wait a minute"
It would be safe if Seto were here.
To the adventurer who tried to say so, Ray hangs on.
What the hell happened to the adventurer who was stopped from speaking his own language? and has turned his gaze to Ray.
"What's the matter with you? No way, don't just rely on Seto or something like that?
I guess that was meant to be half a joke.
Because we actually have Seto, which is why we were able to find him earlier this time.
That's why...... that's why I'm surprised to see Ray nod at the word and many of those who watched it.
"I'm sorry. I need to see what's going on."
Yes, that's definitely where we have to go to see how things are going at the moment.
Such a place of culprits, who transferred various beings such as Lizardman, the Green Man, the Tower of Birth and the Lake.
I don't think we're finding Whisps in Trent's forest underground space, but there's been a leak of information and a reconnaissance about this lake that we've been keeping as secret as possible.
If so, maybe...... really maybe, but I can't deny the possibility that it's known about underground space either.
Most of all, in lakes and underground spaces, the number of people who know is very different.
As for this lake, although it is kept secret, there are naturally many who know it.
That's why Ray also expected information to leak sooner or later.
But underground space is different.
While I understood that it was different... still, given the seriousness of things, I definitely needed to check it out.
"Hey, are you serious? I don't know where you're going, but I have to go in this situation right now. 'Cause you really say that?
One of the adventurers comes at Ray with a sinister gaze.
If you try to be that adventurer, you seriously don't understand why you have to imitate that in the present situation.
Still, I'm sure Ray isn't saying that to skip work in this situation because he has a certain trust in Ray.
"Oh. Sorry, but definitely on this matter.... I think Master Dusker will forgive you if he finds out about this"
Towards the knight who is being treated as the head of this scene, Ray affirms so.
I guess you decided there was no lie in how Ray looked like that.
The knight eventually nods and opens his mouth, even with a difficult look on his face.
"Okay. Then I believe Ray's words.... go. Just go back as soon as you can."
"Hey, dude. Are you sure about this?
One of the adventurers yells that way at a knight who gave permission to Ray's actions lightly.
That's all, I guess the knight's judgment surprised the adventurer.
But knights nod at such adventurers.
"If Master Dusker is going to give you permission, you have nothing to say. If that's a lie, of course, it'll be a problem later. But I don't think Ray... Ray, who has a lot of trust in Master Dusker, would throw up such lies here. Didn't I?"
"It's..."
An adventurer hung on a knight can only be convinced of the knight's words.
In fact, it is true that Ray has received various requests from Dusker and has done so.
The build-up had built strong trust in Ray.
"You get it? Then, Ray. Go on. What, the adventurers here are skilled, and the Lizardmans are a lot of skilled. If someone attacked you, you wouldn't lose so easily. … although the biggest problem is that the enemy is not attacking us, but focusing only on reconnaissance."
Even the adventurers, many of whom had eaten and hung until earlier, are convinced of the knight's words.
If you fight normally, you're not going to lose.
But if you're the kind of person who kills signs and acts covertly, the story is different.
To be honest, it's hard to find one like that.
Not to mention that the opponent is the kind of person lurking outside Seto's detection range.
I'm pretty sure it's just a pain in the ass.
"Sorry, then I'll be back as soon as I can, so keep up the good work until then.... Seto"
"Gru!"
Seto rings to Ray's words, giving in.
Ray crosses on its back and Seto runs out intact.
As usual, I run up into the sky after a few steps of help, but now I can't deny the possibility that someone is looking at this place.
If so, if you imitate, as a matter of course, flying here, etc., then that is likely to be found by the enemy.
And if they could have found it, they could have followed us by moving hard to find places from above: Trento Forest.
Still, there was a chance that if Seto had five senses, he could find someone to follow, but there's no need to go out of his way to risk wasting it.
Now anyway, I needed to go somewhere that would connect to the underground space a little faster and see if it was safe there.
Ray rode Seto... straight through the Trento Forest.
