Legend

In the meantime, the story is wrapped up, and the Rays go outside the magic tent.

Then, there... there was an unexpected sight.

Anyway, a lot of centaurs were obsessed with mining.

Of course, mining work has been going on for a long time, but still without any guessing... that's probably because there's something in the ground, which is clearly more lively today than when we were digging the ground... most importantly, everyone even seemed happy.

"This is, again... what the hell happened to you?

"After all, it must be big to know that if you dig there, you have a purpose."

Next to Ray, he sees the centaurs where Vihella works and tells them they're smudged.

"This scout team, Ray's putting it together, isn't it? You've often been able to gather centaurs from so many different settlements."

It was Anastasia who said that.

As in the time of the dam run, we have stopped by several settlements, so I guess that's not surprising that there are many differences between them, and that if several settlements are gathered, it's because of the differences between them.

"As I said earlier, it's Zai, not me, who leads this scout team.... just well, I guess we're united because we work hard to unite our common enemies against each other"

"Dealing with Dragonias? Then there's something else..."

No, it's not.

With that willingness, Ray blocks Anastasia's words.

And it was Vihera who turned her gaze.

Vieira looked at Centaur, who was not working with the kind of eyes she looked for her prey, as if she had not noticed Ray's gaze at all.

Anastasia was watching Vihera... and Fana also understands what Ray is trying to say.

Strong enemies to fight in unison...... I guess that's what you're talking about Vihera.

In fact, that's never a mistake.

That's what a lot of Centaur will be needed to deal with Vihera.

So while you're at it, you lose if you fight.

That's why even Centaur needed to work closely with each other in order to be able to fight each other somehow, even without having to defeat such a formidable enemy…

That's why they seem to hang out with each other because of different settlements, not very much, but they can't fight Vihella.

On the contrary, he was unable to cope with a series of attacks and could have been unilaterally defeated.

"Vihera's been working on it for a long time... well, yeah..."

It was Anastasia who tried to say something, but when you see that Vihera has turned her gaze on herself, you end up misleading her with the right words.

Because if you really say what you think here, it doesn't taste good in many ways, it feels that way.

Is that a woman's inquiry, as an elf, or as a researcher again?

He didn't even know the area, but it was an unmistakable fact that he spared the disaster for now.

"Okay, so... what do we do? If we're going to do mining, I think that's how much Anastasian spiritual magic can help us."

To Ray's words, Anastasia shakes her neck to the side.

Such Anastasia's behavior was surprising to Ray as well.

Given Anastasia's character, I didn't think I'd do anything to imitate it here.

"Why?

"I think I've told you many times that the Spirit is strong here. That's the power of the earthen spirits, too. If spiritual magic were to be used here... it would be soil spiritual magic too, and I honestly don't know what would happen. Hopefully, we might be able to take out something buried in the basement right away..."

It was Anastasia who cut the words there, but I could also predict if it failed.

Anastasia has said so many times that the power of the Spirit is so intense that if it fails... it is that if it is bad, this settlement itself will be extinguished for some reason.

Is the settlement swallowed by the soil just because the spirits of the soil are concerned, or does the settlement itself weather, as Dragonias' body weathered in the woods?

Other than that, Ray predicted a few things, all of which would only end badly.

"Yeah, right. If that's what Spirit expert Anastasia says, I figured we shouldn't use Spirit Magic here. Once this settlement has been destroyed, it will taste a lot worse."

That's what makes this settlement's surviving centaurs, and this is their home town.

Beyond that, imitations such as the extinction of this settlement would be very much unacceptable.

Yes, Ray tells me, Anastasia nods satisfactorily against the word as well.

"I'm glad you didn't force me to use spiritual magic."

"... it seemed like I would do that?

It was a ray representing a slight dissatisfaction, but Anastasia shakes her neck to the side and opens her tease mouth.

"I don't mean to think so, but about spiritual magic, not many people know that, do they?... Ray uses magic too, but that's just plain magic. So I thought you might not know how it affects when you say the Spirit is strong."

If that was explained, there was no way Ray wouldn't be convinced either.

In fact, there's a lot I don't know about this one.

In that, if Ray tried to do something with his own thoughts alone, that could have been some big mistake.

"I got the story. Anyway, if you can't use spiritual magic, we can help... No, we don't need it."

That's what Centaur and the others are doing together.

On the contrary, there were even those who were making it difficult to move because of too many centaurs working.

If so, there's no doubt that we can only get in the way where we went.

No one disputes whether such Ray's opinions were the same for other faces.

"Because, what do we do?

"... In the meantime, Vihera must not look for someone to train in combat"

"Oh, that's a shame."

Words seemed uncomfortable, but still, around honestly following Ray's words, I guess it didn't mean that I was so serious about looking for someone to fight training with.

Confirm that...... Ray reminds me that everyone was sticking out when he said he was going to serve booze when he asked for a deer watch.

"If you find something buried in that basement, I'll give you a drink!

To Ray's words saying so, the Centaurs stop moving for a moment… in the next moment, many move faster than ever before.

Nevertheless, some of them only made the same moves as before when they heard they could drink.

I also knew Ray had a few Centaurs who didn't originally like drinking very much, and besides that, I guess others said they punished him for previous hangovers.

Anyway, even though it's hard to move around with a hangover, we did some mining... and on top of that, there was even a raid on Dragonias.

Then it's not surprising that those who want to shy away from alcohol for a while come out more than it's only been a few days.

... Note that Zai, who leads the scout team, likes to drink and although he wants to, he was reluctant to drink considering his position.

In the last case, you must have decided it was dangerous to drink.

Though it was not strange to think so, given the current situation.

No, if you try Ningro Ray, the decision is laudable.

(Though, Zai doesn't change that he likes booze either.... In a way, if you think you've also been able to find the Anastasias because you met Zai... maybe you can give Zai some liquor to keep when you're done with one of the Dragonias)

Though the liquor you keep, Ray doesn't even know if the liquor actually tastes that good.

However, it was easy to predict that it probably tasted better than it was a pretty expensive drink.

...... if you try ray you're not very good at booze, if that's all you buy expensive booze, shouldn't you normally buy food? I didn't think so.

Nevertheless, if you think you can use it at a time like this, there's no reason why you should be glad you bought some fancy liquor.

"So, Ray. As we leave mining work to Centaur... what are we going to do now? In the present situation, do you have anything to do?

To Vihera's inquiry, Ray thinks about what to do.

I'm not thinking about getting my hands on you any more than I decided to leave mining work to Centaur.

Previously, I had imitated from the remains of the tent of the head of this settlement something like looking for information about this neighborhood... If Anastasia came and told me that the power of the earth spirits was so thick that Ray could somehow understand the secret of this settlement.

I didn't exactly understand everything, but still, given the current situation, I don't even need to look into the remains of the long tent again.

For example, what needs to be done in this situation now… not many.

"It would be alarming to see if Dragonias would not attack us."

At the end of the day, that was definitely the most necessary job as it stands.

Outside the woods, however, there are two deer and a centaur who protects them.

If Dragonius had attacked us from that side, we would have informed Ray and the others immediately.

... In fact, I can go into the woods from anywhere more than there is a decision that I have to go through places with deer and centaurs to get into the woods.

For that reason, many Centaurs are standing by in every part of the settlement.

The Centaurs, who are not mining operations, turn their gaze to Ray like they want to say or hear something.

That was for those working in the mining business, like Ray drinking, so I guess they want to hear what happens to themselves on the lookout.

"Don't worry. If I discover anything about the earth spirits buried in the ground, I'll give you a good booze."

Centaur and the others on the lookout to hear Ray's words and show relief.

In this situation, what the hell happened when I said that the only person giving the liquor was the one doing the mining work?

... it doesn't even have to be thought about.

That would have made the situation close to the uprising.

Of course, such imitation would eventually allow the Rays to suppress it.

But you don't have to bother to do such imitations in the present situation.

(It's a big deal that the guys doing the mining work are able to concentrate that way because they don't have to worry about being attacked by the enemy all of a sudden because they have company on watch)

For example, those who were on watch are naturally cooperating in the mining operations.

Beyond that, it is only natural to give alcohol to the watchmen.

Are the watchmen relieved to get Ray's appointment, too, going back to their jobs?

... If it wasn't Ray's fault, I would have been more seriously alert to what was going on around me than I had been before.

"Wow..."

Seeing such centaurs, there is a shuddering voice coming out of Anastasia's mouth.

I guess I didn't think it would be very, but I didn't think it would motivate me to this point with alcohol.

"With that said, is Anastasia not interested in Centaur?

"What? Suddenly."

"Curious Anastasia, so I thought you wouldn't be interested in Centaur, which doesn't exist in Elgin... or not near Gilm if it does"

"Oh, you know what? Suddenly I wondered what you were going to say."

Anastasia grins at her mouth how convinced she is of what Ray wants to say.

"If it's about Centaur, I'm already looking into it."

"... Really?

"Yeah. When I stopped by the Damran settlement, there was a lot going on. As a result, I didn't expect to be admired so much."

I was very concerned about the various things Anastasia said, Ray, but if I hear that here, I feel like I'm going to regret it, and I can't hear it.

"In the meantime, shall we keep an eye on him?... Fana can be with Anastasia, right?

To Ray asking, Fana nods small.

I'm still better off with the closest Anastasia because I'm a fana who's originally willing to know people.

(Oh, but since you got here, you don't really feel like that anymore. Thanks also to the rough waves over here in the world?

With that in mind, the Rays focused on their work.
