Legend

The next morning. As usual, the owner of the Knights carriage, who brought to the Tower of Birth the kind of food and hobbies, the paperwork for the Knights, and all the other things, opens his eyes to the sight that was there.

Naturally. Because a group of suspicious black-covered people, no matter where they came from, stayed there in such a situation that they were tied up with their hands and feet but could not get out of it.

If this were the night, we would have been able to imitate the darkness of the night.

But now it's daytime...... no, it's morning.

In such a morning, a black outfit just seems like a dumb outfit.

Those in black, they understand that.

He seemed somewhere embarrassed by your gaze.

"The... what's this?

A man of your own asks the knight, bewildered.

The voiced knight opens his tease with a glimpse of the black-coated men.

"These are the people who came here last night... maybe to scout the lake.... I was able to capture Seto thanks to his presence. It wasn't that much in terms of combat technology, but he's quite the master of covert operations. … there must have been some information I could be sure that I was here for reconnaissance with so many people"

Understand what the knight wants to say, and the man of your lord gives a harsh look.

If information about this lake was leaked, he said he was one of the suspects again.

Most of all, your trust is great only for those who have served Dusker for a long time.

I never thought I'd do this.

In that sense, that would definitely be more suspicious of the adventurers who took them yesterday.

In fact, that's where the information came from… what I know about it is the adventurers who leaked the information and the people who heard about it. And only those who heard the report from the person.

"Whether these people were hired by someone or someone else's men. It seems that's how he came here to scout. Take me to Gilm and let me spit out the information."

"Okay. But when you take this many people, it's dangerous. This fellow in black could come and get his allies back. Can you ask for some escorts?

"I'm going to do that too."

I want some of the people who are escorting me to the Birth Tower to escort me.

The knight immediately nods to the word of the one who tells him so.

In fact, because the option of not wearing escorts does not exist to carry so many people in black.

Sometimes it may come back, but if you do something that puts ten people in one carriage, and you move around with no one watching, that's what you could do with your joints off, and you could do something like remove the rope that's tying your hands and feet off.

From that point of view, someone still needed a lookout.

Even as a knight, I understand that this one matter is important, so I was going to make sure the black outfits were escorted.

"Ray, can you ask me?

"Okay."

The knight relied on Ray, naturally.

More than just being the most powerful adventurer among those escorting the Tower of Birth, that would be natural.

Also, if Ray goes with him, Seto will go with him.

I captured these black outfits because of Seto's great ability to find them earlier.

I had an expectation that if such a ceto were with me, the black costumes would not be able to imitate the detour either.

That's why Ray also expected that he would be asked to escort him.

It also has the role of carrying trees that have been harvested by the guilds.

... after breakfast, I was just hoping to give the tree to the alchemists because they are cutting some trees and storing them in mysteries.

Unfortunately, since they are going to be working, is there any logging going on... even if it is logged, it will be about a few.

Then it would be quicker to collect it later.

(Besides, we need to report that we don't even know about underground space)

Beyond the fact that the black-covered men had come so far to scout, it was also possible that in some cases someone had gone to examine the underground space where the whisp was located.

If Dusker asks about the black outfit, he'll naturally worry about it there.

That's why I needed to let you know that nothing went wrong with Ray directly.

When it comes to informing Dusker outside of direct reporting, it is a means of writing and messaging.

The letter could be stolen by someone, and the message is there are those who listen to it.

Either way, you'll need to delude yourself with some kind of metaphor or something.

Such imitation doesn't tell Ray if Dusker will notice it, and if Dusker does, he'll have an awesome troubling time.

With that in mind, it was still true that I should go directly to the report.

"So, do you want to carry these people right away? Or is there something I can do over here?

In the words of Ray, he opens his mouth without thinking.

"I'll be there soon, of course. I want to spend a little less time with these people. Besides, if we take the time, maybe that's all the big fathers and employers in these black clothes are gonna come back and get their information, right? Then you'd better get it under Master Dusker as soon as you can."

Neither did Ray disagree with the words of your Lord, so he nods honestly at the words.

"If you do, this one will help.... Well, let's go. Should I put him on the carrier?

"Oh. It would be best to pull them in a carriage and let them walk, like they did when they caught the bandits... then it would be like letting them know these black dressed guys got caught, wouldn't it? It may not make much sense, but I want to make sure that the area is not known as much as I can. Most……

So once the word is cut off, he turns his meaningful gaze to Ray and opens his mouth again.

"If Ray wants to capture the person he attacked and increase his sources with it, I can get on with it."

"No, I'll stop that."

Even as Ray, I understand that there should be more sources.

But still, it was Ray's idea that we should proceed as secretly as possible in this case.

Of course, all the black-covered people aren't coming back, so the boss or the hired ones will decide they've been captured, and there's a good chance they're going to take back the black-covered ones or seal their mouths in order not to give them their information.

Anyway, if I could afford it, I wanted to bring the blackclothes into the Lords' Hall as soon as possible now and give them to those who specialize in interrogation there.

Neither does your man understand that Ray really hates you, and he will not say anything more about trying to make the black outfits look good, but will give instructions to unload the carriage.

When this happens, the fact that they were using boxcarriages rather than so-called carriages without a front plays a role.

You can't tell from the side that you're packing the black outfits in the carriage.

… In fact, among the carriages held by Dusker, carriages are popular, and many wait in order to borrow them, which is why you use boxcarriages.

Horse carriages are quite easy to do when loading or unloading baggage for no roof or wall.

It's a little thing, but when that little thing piles up, it makes a big difference.

When all the luggage is unloaded before it is enough to do so, the next thing you know, pack the black outfits into the carriage.

It is possible to pack them all, in number of people in black.

… although it feels very cramped inside.

If we were to keep an eye on the black outfits, Ray would have needed to get in the carriage again.

But given the clogging in the carriage, that's what Ray has to decide he's more dangerous to ride.

The black costumes are good at killing signs.

In other words, you are likely to have one side as an assassin as well.

If so, I had no desire to be with such people anywhere they could not move, even if their hands and feet were tied and fitted to monkeys.

Most importantly, Ray has a ceto.

Even from outside the carriage, if the black costumes had a sense of Seto if they imitated it strangely, they would have known right away.

"Well, then we're leaving.... I'll give you the report, so don't worry."

And your voice shall be short unto the knight, and the carriage, and Ray, and Seth shall depart.

"Ray, I'm gonna move a little early, okay?

"Oh, there's no problem over here. Ning Lo, you can travel at full speed."

"That's just too conspicuous."

He who tells you so with a slight increase in the speed of the carriage, as he says.

Normally, the carriage slows down if you get close to the guild, but if that's traveling at full speed, it's definitely noticeable.

... most notably at a time when Ray and Seto are traveling together as escorts.

"Okay. I'll take care of the area."

Ray snorts at the words of your Lord.

Thus, the carriage begins to advance towards the Guild.

"So how's the lake looking so far? Yeah, of course. I just need you to tell me what I can tell you."

On the way to Gilm, that is what your Lord will ask you by accident.

If I were you, I'd see it close again and again, but I still think there's a lot going on in the lake.

"Hmm, right. In the meantime, the ecosystem is rich. I can eat fish and stuff normally... or it's delicious."

With that said, Ray remembered a fish with fangs.

I think we should treat him as a monster for once, but in this world, the reason why monsters are monsters... I don't even think about treating him as a monster anymore than he doesn't have a demonic stone.

I gave that lizard to the guild, and maybe one of these days you should ask me how I treat that lake monster.

Though, even the guilders are busy with a lot of things right now, and I probably can't afford that, to be honest.

"Heh, is it delicious? Then don't let the inhabitants of Gilm eat fish and stuff from now on."

"I guess. But I don't think it's possible to feel like it's for all the residents of Gilm."

Given the size of the lake, it may be possible to acquire fish that can temporarily fill the bellies of all the inhabitants of Gilm.

But if you imitate that, naturally, fewer fish are in the lake.

More than a certain… You need to keep as much fish as you can naturally breed and maintain numbers.

For Ray, it reminds me of my favorite Hatha when I was in Japan.

Boil it. Okay, the hawthorn of good baking was a pretty favorite fish for Ray.

However, there were times when catches decreased year after year, whether the hawthorn was overcaught or for some other reason.

As a result, several years were set aside, including within the meaning of resource protection, and catches were restricted even after that had ended.

As a result, the number of Hathats has gradually increased.

In guilds where there is no such thing as a sea or a lake, and few people have knowledge or skill in fishing, there is no denying the possibility that they will catch fish from the lake because that is what they want to eat.

... just a lot of people with bad, high abilities, extra.

(Maybe we should talk to Master Dusker about this. People are gathering from all sorts of places in Gilm. If you think about it, some guys might know about fishing)

In Ray's case, I know what to do with the mess, but I don't know exactly how to do it.

That's the only way to be honest is to leave such a thing to the fishermen in office.

"Ray? What's up?

"No, think if the lake thing gets out there, there 'll be a lot of guys going to the lake.... and we're heading into the summer."

"Uh... that's..."

To Ray's words, your man groans as he is convinced.

The last few days...... no, here for a while, the temperature has been rising considerably.

Think of it, it's not strange that one of these days someone wants to swim in the lake out of the heat.

Regardless of where the magic items of cooling are or if there are other people who can avoid the heat by any other means and live, many people are unable to live like that.

Essentially, magic items are very expensive.

Or that there are few who can be wizards.

...... With dungeons, there are places where temperatures are constant, so there is also the option of taking a heat shelter there, but unfortunately there is no dungeon right on the side of the guild.

As a result, many people would go to the lake to cool off if the existence of the lake were made public... There is also the monster thing, so it was easy for Ray to imagine that it would be quite a commotion there.

"Yeah, we need to do something about it for now."

And he snorted in trouble at Ray's words, saying so.
