Defeat all enemies that have attacked the carriage...... that's where the problem arises.

"So, what do we do with these people? No, I can't leave you like this, and I guess I need to take you all the way to Gilm."

Many of the black clothes are dead, but so are the living.

That's why I couldn't keep it that way.

"Um, I don't care what you say. We can't put him in the carriage anymore, can we?

Ray knew that, too.

Only those who have come to scout the lake and the tower of birth, which has become a major part of this case, are already full of carriages.

If we are to take the living in this situation, that is what we need to take forcefully in the carriage.

"Then... we don't have to think about it anymore."

I see soldiers approaching this one, and Ray squeals so.

If you think about it, it's natural that this is the road that leads to the Trento Forest, but at the same time it's a place you can see from the streets.

If you stand around in such a place, it will naturally be seen by those who are going down the street.

On top of that, the roar of using the intimidation of the king of Seto was also heard by those who were going down the street.

Then, naturally, those who realise that will inform the guards of Gilm.

And if the guards asked about the situation, it was natural to rush there.

"Ray! What the hell happened to this?!?

Try being a guard, Ray and Seto are familiar opponents.

If Ray is the only one, it's hard to tell who it is if you see it from afar in a dragon robe, but if Seto is nearby, it's easy to understand who it is.

That's why the guards immediately called Ray's name.

"I was just trying to capture a suspicious guy in the Trent woods and hand it over to the Knights, and they attacked me to help the captured guys, so I intercepted it"

Simply explain the circumstances, Ray.

In fact, that word is not wrong.

The guard who was listening to that gives a slightly questionable look where he takes them to the Knights.

"To the Knights? Isn't that us?

Normally, criminals are in charge of guards.

Of course Ray knows that, and why would he do that? And yes, it would be natural for the guards to wonder.

To such an opponent, Ray gives the carriage a serious look... a glimpse of the carriage packed with black outfits who came to scout, then opens his mouth.

"Oh. Sorry, these guys are the guys we captured last night... I'm in that carriage, they're one of them. And as for the Knights, they want to get that information themselves."

"... I see"

I'm saying it like I'm convinced, but the guards don't think it's funny on the inside.

Nevertheless, there is no choice but to do so in the Knights and Guards than to have different jurisdictions.

Also, I don't put on the table the thought that I'm not funny beyond the fact that my consciousness to protect the guilds is the same even if I have different jurisdictions.

It is also true that even in the Guild today we are understaffed as guards, and that there are places where the knights of the Knights have given us a lot of help.

That's why the guards also snorted honestly at the word knight.

"I just don't mind handing over the guys in the carriage to the Knights, but I also want to hand over the guys who are still alive here to the Knights.... Can you ask for it?

"I can't help it. It's Ray's favor, and I'll ask. Besides, we can't leave the body like this forever."

It is spring and is now gradually approaching summer.

It was still quite cool in the morning and at night, but it wasn't uncommon to scratch sweat during the day.

That's why if we leave the body like this, it will eventually become undead or, in some cases, plague.

Even if it doesn't, it's still a problem if the stench drifts around you.

To avoid that, the body needed to be cleaned up as soon as possible.

... In fact, Ray can keep the body inside the mistering, and the guards naturally know that.

But still, given the current situation, there was no doubt that Ray should take those in the carriage under the Knights as soon as possible.

"We'll clean this place up, so Ray can just go. If there's a guy alive because he's down there, you can turn him over to the Knights, right?

"Are you sure? Please, I'll plug something in next time."

"Right. If there's any Gamelion meat, please."

Gamelion meat, which can only be caught in winter, cannot be eaten now that it is naturally spring.

No, it's not that I can't eat it at all because I've made it into dried meat or salted and preserved meat, but it was definitely the best way to cook and eat raw meat after all.

"Okay. So, next time?

"Huh? Are you serious about giving me away?

I tried to say the guards, but you didn't really expect me to give in, and I showed surprise at Ray's words.

Not just guards like wanting Gamelion's meat, but other guards as well.

Watching those guards, Ray waves gently before leaving for Gilm with the carriage.

...... but don't be alarmed.

I'm not that far from here to Gilm anymore.

But more than we've raided in places like this, that's just around the gilm... in some cases, it's not strange to raid after entering the gilm.

Normally, it's not very much, but I don't think I would do that, but it's honest that I have no idea what it is that I would do just to someone who has somehow imitated something like raid right down the street.

(Maybe he's actually after the neighborhood... isn't it possible?)

Think about it and be bold so far...... Ray doesn't even know what kind of move you're making to describe it as reckless.

But given what they've done, I can't distract them at all until I hand over the black outfits in the carriage to the Knights.

"Don't take any more notice than you know what those black outfits are going to do."

"Oh. Ray and Seto, too, please"

Probably because they actually attacked me. The man returns his words nervously to Ray's words and proceeds with the carriage.

But fortunately - and that's for sure - until we get to Gilm, we'll arrive safely, with no one in particular attacking us.

If you're new to Gilm, it'll take a long time to get inside, but the carriage that Ray and the others are riding in is owned by Dusker, and your men are Dusker's men.

The process itself ends quickly, more than Ray is also in and out of the Guild as he does every day.

Thus, Ray and Seto head with the carriage to the Lords' Hall.

I saw Seto along the way and played. Some of them did, but you knew from how Ray and Seto were doing that you were at work now, and you never gave me a whiff.

I don't know where the black outfit is coming from. In the present situation, that would be very helpful.

(Though, so far, there's no sign of an attack.... Normally, you thought no more raids would be possible? No, but it is. Even Master Dusker should undoubtedly sanction the organization that caused this disturbance more than it has done so far. If you think about it, it wouldn't be strange to show some movement here)

Proceed vigilantly around… but in the end no one will raid you and you will arrive at the Lords' Hall.

That's normal, but I still can't honestly rejoice when I look at the unscrupulous state of those black outfits.

That's why I was wondering if there's anything still going on in this situation.

It is possible that it was the last force of war that struck near the streets.

... No, Ning Ro, that's more likely.

Even so, I guess that's why Ray still feels chest noise somewhere because he still expects there to be something.

Nevertheless, it is also a fact that, if anything were to happen, we would no longer be able to do anything about it if we entered the Lords' Hall.

With such doubts, Ray speaks to the knight who is the gatekeeper.

"Hey, are you hurt enough?

The voice was answered by a knight who was about to be killed by an assassin disguised as a merchant a few days ago.

Open your mouth with what an unspeakable subtle expression.

"An injury, that's an injury that Ray kicked you in, right? Mild bruises, that kind of injury."

The quick thing to do to protect him from the assassin's dagger was to kick and blow him away.

Because he did it, the knight took his life, but it's Ray's kick with extraordinary muscle power.

Though I did a little trickery, I can't help but have some bruising injuries.

… it is unusual in the first place that he was kicked from above the metal armor and still suffered bruising.

"... so. There's a guy in this carriage who might be... really, maybe, the same organization as that assassin."

"What!?

It wasn't just the knight that Ray kicked at me that raised his surprise, but the other knight was at the same time.

Also, this knight was here at the time of the assassination riot.

So, naturally, I guess I was intrigued by the assassin thing.

The knights are together, and they're approaching Ray.

Such knights were watched with a slightly dazed gaze.

No, not just the knight, but Ray too.

As Dusker's men, he also works in the Lords' Hall.

Naturally, I also know about the assassin Ray is talking about.

But still, that's what I thought I needed to say on purpose here.

"I'm telling you, it's not like the guy in the carriage leaked any information. I'm just wondering if I am."

"... if they say Ray's taking a look, is it my fault that I feel like I'm going to hit something so bad?

When the knight of those targeted by the assassin groans, so does the knight of his partner.

Because I know how active Ray is, it's strange and strongly persuasive if you ask me that question.

"Uh... well, I don't care about my account, now just let me in. We need to get the men in the carriage to the knights quickly. And I think the guards will bring the others who captured them later, so thank you for your response."

To that word of Ray, the knights also remember their work and immediately open the gates.

There was nothing more wrong with the guard's response than it was a job.

The carriage and Ray, Seto, enter the gates...... but instead of the path that leads to the Lords' Hall, which, if always, passes, take a different path.

Ahead is the headquarters of the Knights.

Besides, the place is right next to the Lords' Hall.

Naturally, there are also dungeons in the headquarters of the Knights.

... In that situation, when it comes to why the adventurers who pretended to have been chased by Kobolt and obtained information about the lake were in the dungeons of the Lords' Hall, the adventurers are not criminals - they entered the Trent Forest on their own - but only because they are treated as unlucky adventurers.

But unlike those adventurers, who are in the carriage… and the guards who are about to be brought in are not such unlucky adventurers, but historic criminals.

That's why I brought you to Knights headquarters.

"What's up?

A knight standing in front of the headquarters of the Knights notices the carriage that came and asks him so as he approaches.

Do you want to grow up, or the knight in a polite tone will explain the situation to you, and the knight who hears it will soon return to his headquarters.

"Well, for now, I'm sorry for your loss. We need to go and report it to Master Dusker later."

Originally, Ray came with this carriage meant a lot to the escort.

If you get in Seto, that's the only reason you're going to act with the carriage, because it won't take you a few minutes to get to Gilm.

And the fact is, if Ray hadn't come with the carriage, the black-covered raids would have killed you... or at least injured you. Naturally, the black clothes that were packed in the carriage were taken back by their opponents.

But if that escort also comes to the headquarters of the Knights, we don't need it anymore.

Gilm's knights know each other as elites, not how assassins can do it.

"Thanks for the help. Thank you."

And when he had briefly told Ray, and heard it, Ray waved gently, and departed from the place with Seth.

... Though Seto, naturally, could not enter the Lords' Hall with Ray, so he headed to the garden as usual.

When Ray dropped off Seto on the way to the garden, he headed to the Lords' Hall.
