Vine of the Count Dorat family is a Kingslayer.
Yeah, Dasker asked me. Ray wonders what to say.
Let me be honest with you, for Ray these days, being a king is only an unpleasant opponent.
But at the same time, I understand that not all of the Kings are unpleasant opponents.
"So, the... what do you think we should do in this case? The noblemen who came to the tower of birth are captured, so if you send a carriage over there, I think they'll bring you in soon."
"Right.... In the meantime, it is imperative to keep that nobility secure. Let's send the carriage over there right away. Don't even need a guard soldier or a knight."
"... do you think a person named Veen would move?
"I don't know. That grandfather turns his head quite a bit. I don't think I'm going out of my way here to imitate crossing dangerous bridges myself. If it were to move, it would be someone who would have drawn the will of Veen. We should use the outside world as much as we can."
External humans.
That's what Ray remembered when he came to scout the lake and the Tower of Birth.
And they attacked Gilm while he was escorting them, and here they are again in black.
The outsiders that Ray fought the most recently...... I mean, it's those who remind me of being hired by someone.
That's why I thought Ray might be connected to Veen and those black wearers... unfortunately, there's nothing to prove it.
"Dear Dusker, those people in black... did you throw up anything?
"No, there are still reports like that...... do you think those guys did it to Veen, too?
"As a possibility. If you think that the people in black came to scout the lake and the tower of birth, and then that nobleman came in less than a few days before standing, to make it happen..."
He was a dusker who nodded convincingly to Ray's words, but at the next moment he opens his mouth like he noticed something.
"Wait, all the black-covered men who came to scout, did Ray catch them? If so, isn't it strange that Veen has information about the lake and the birth tower?
Normally, it's not surprising to think that another person who watched it from afar left the scene once he confirmed that his allies had been caught.
But by the time Ray and Seto were around, Dusker had already abandoned that possibility.
That's all I trust in Ray and Seto's abilities, I guess.
"Right. I doubt that area alone, but still, given the current situation, I think it's most likely that the black outfits and Veen are connected."
Ray didn't know how to get the information, but in this case, is there some source Ray doesn't know... or is there an awesome arm that Ray and Seto just don't perceive?
(No way. I mean, coincidence... isn't it? That nobleman obviously seemed to know about the birth tower. Besides, I honestly feel subtle at the point where I have the ability to keep Seto from noticing)
Try Ray, I've never met a person in person named Veen.
But still, from what I've heard from Dusker, it doesn't seem like I can hire the kind of amazing skill that can act like I'm not very, but I can't even find myself or Seto.
If there's a reward for it, it's a different story.
"Anyway, I'm pretty sure someone named Veen is suspicious, but what do you want to do?
"I don't care what they say. To be honest, there's no clearer way we can do anything from here than with no clear evidence.... Of course, I won't just try to keep quiet. Keep an eye on him, though. Egg's too busy right now, but there's no reason to leave him alone in this situation."
Egg was originally the person who led the bandit named the Meadow Wolf, but that bandit group is outrageous... that was not the kind of bandit Ray hunts as a half hobby.
Because of this, Egg has never been hunted by Ray, and eventually by Dusker, he is now entrusted with the job behind Gilm.
It was such an egg, but now Gilm is pretty busy on the back side as well.
The gathering of many means that some of them are in the hands of forces hostile to Dusker, or have something to do with the organization behind them.
That's why it was easy for Ray to predict that in the current situation, there would be very few people available to deal with you.
However, given the case of Veen, it was still necessary for Egg to come out here... even if he could not do so himself.
If we can grasp any evidence with that, Dusker will also be able to make a dignified move against Veen, and in some cases protest the Kings.
"With that said, if you mean the Kings, what about the royal handlers who came into contact with me before this? Why don't you just get your hands around me from that way?
"That would be a little difficult."
To the suggestion that came out of Ray's mouth, Dusker shook his head sideways.
I wanted to know why, Ray, but Dusker doesn't look like he's going to say why.
Probably something I don't need to know...... or decide it's something I shouldn't know, and stop poking around any further.
Being a direct subordinate of the royal family, all I can think of is obvious hassle even if Ray thinks about it.
Ray was often in a lot of trouble, but when it comes to problems like royalty, I don't want to get into trouble from myself, though not very much.
That is why we shall remain silent about royal relations.
"Hmmm then... it hurts that Egg doesn't know when his enemies will... Veen will move"
If you know it will move clearly, you can also deal with it as Ray.
But when does it move? It's hard to deal with that if you don't know what works for you and where you're going for it.
Still, I'm with Seto, so I can deal with it faster than the others with that mobility.
"Right. As far as hearing this one thing was concerned, the aim was only to see how this one came out. In that case, I don't know if they're going to attack us again..."
That's all I said, Dusker, shake his head to the side.
In this situation, I can't imagine the enemy moving as we expected.
"I've been after Lizardman this time, but it's troublesome when they're after the Green Man."
Lizardman has the strength they deserve.
If you look at it objectively, Zozo is pretty strong too... among other things, you can say Gaga is something else.
Because he has just enough strength to do that with Ray in a mock fight.
There's nothing you can do without sending an extra hand just to someone with that strength.
But the Green Man is different compared to the Lizardman, who has a lot of corresponding strength.
It is very difficult if we are told that we have a principle of behaviour that should also be referred to as pacifism and that we can deal with it if it is attacked.
And while you're at it, you have the ability to grow plants.
Given the character of the person named Veen, it was Ray's expectation that there was no way he wouldn't be able to get his hands on this one.
Dusker, naturally, had something convincing about Ray's words like that, but he doesn't look particularly depressed.
"You don't have to worry about that neighborhood. The Greens are also very important to the Guild, so they have guards on them."
It doesn't get wet.
That's what I thought for a moment, Ray, but for Dusker, who's looking to get the Greens to help him grow spice varieties, the option of not escorting the pacifist Greens doesn't exist.
"Really? Then you don't have to worry about that one.... then the next question is whether to increase the number of birth tower escorts any more... what do you want to do?
"I don't care what they say. Even in the present situation, the Alliance is considerably forced to do so. It's hard to turn any more adventurers..."
"What about the Anastasian escort? For once, I have my assistant Fana now, so I'm not defenseless. Besides, between the underground space and the birth tower, Seto and I are sending you in."
"Right. That helps.... because she's brilliant but has a lot of personality. Take care of him."
"Distinctive... is that concentration? You know, acting too focused and suddenly not clapping."
While observing Whisp, Ray had seen him reach out softly, not knowing that he was too focused.
If there were anything else to do with such an oddity, it would be dangerous in many ways.
Most importantly, Anastasia took Fana because she knew it herself.
"Hmmm. Well...... its a lot of things, but definitely a very good person. I can trust you."
In this case, I guess it's a big deal to be trustworthy.
It hasn't been that long since Ray met Anastasia either, but I somehow understood that she could be trusted.
"Okay. Leave the matter of Anastasia to me for now. I'd be in trouble if you didn't study that whisp properly, too."
"... trouble? Why would I be in trouble?
Ray slipped his mouth, just a little upset.
Ray wants you to keep researching Whisper because he thinks you might be able to go to Japan.
But the only cover story Dasker knows about Ray is that he was raised in the back of the mountain by his master.
That's why I wonder why Ray would be bothered if he didn't study Whisp.
The lucky thing for Ray would have been that Dusker believed a person named Ray from his previous relationship.
I didn't think I was thinking first of all about making a few unscrupulous requests and just the person who has done it, such as betraying myself for some reason...
"Maybe you can get magic items from different worlds or demonic stones from unknown monsters. Well, some of them are like Lizardmans."
In the meantime, so deceitful.
Nevertheless, that in no way means cod out.
Because some things actually expect magic items and unknown monsters to come from different worlds in this case.
Most of all, even when a monster from an unknown corner arrives, it doesn't seem to have a demonic stone like a monster from the lake.
"Right. If you are intelligent like Lizardman and you have someone you can negotiate with, it would be helpful for you to have a discussion first."
I'm half-joking and I'm telling you, but I mean half of it.
If even though the opponent is willing to communicate with this one, there is a possibility that it will cause the worst possible consequences if there is an attack without question.
That's when a presence like the Grand Dragonian Empire, to which the Lizardmans belong, has shifted and become a war.
If that happens, Dusker will undoubtedly take responsibility.
That is why contact with beings like Lizardman and the Green People needed to proceed with caution.
... but when Ray first met the Lizardmans, it was a battle.
I was nevertheless fortunate in a way to be able to forge friendly relationships.
"Anyway, Anastasia and Fana need to study Whisp."
"Right.... If I could, I'd like to take a look at that underground space too..."
"Isn't that hard?
Ray immediately tells.
As things stand, fewer people know as much about that underground space as possible.
Anyway, all I know right now is Ray and his crew, Grimm, and Anastasia, Fana, and Dusker.
That's not all that important of a secret, but more than that, you can't teach the underground space so easily to others.
Then, when we go to underground space, it's just Dasker... or Ray and the others, even if it comes to escorting us.
Try to be the knights in the Lords' Hall, and the fact that we have ourselves but can't escort Dusker will hurt our pride.
Unless, of course, it is a time of need, but this is not the time of need.
That's why I needed to be concerned about a lot of things in this case.
... Most of all, as a dusker, I was purely curious to see the underground space myself, no doubt.
"Mmm... that's right.... I've got work to do, and I can't take that time."
For a strong dusker, he had a rare and disappointing look.
