His eyes watched as Ray and Seto... and the wolves walked side by side.
Eyes floating in the air never miss Ray.
While I was there, I didn't even make Seto uncomfortable with a very sharp feeling.
... In fact, Seto looked around strangely as soon as he entered the Trento Forest because his eyes floating in the air were too close.
After that, don't do anything to get into Trent's woods. The eyeballs floating in the air waited.
(Wolf? Did Ray come all the way to Trent Forest to see that wolf? No, but... why would you do that? It doesn't look like a monster I've tasted.)
If you look at it, you don't know what Ray is doing.
Ray's weakness...... he said he used few magic items to try to find even one of his weaknesses, but the harvest just wasted the magic items on this.
"Damn... you were sooner than expected to know about the Count Zorgela family. When this happens, should I have cleaned up the body after all?
Less frustrating, failure to make a decision would be the biggest drawback of Anterm's many shortcomings.
He usually seems aristocratic - only the aristocrat Anterm thinks he is - and he has an attitude, and he has no problem with politeness just because he was born as a factual aristocrat.
To some extent, you can also push and kill your own mind to perform an act.
Even though there were other aristocratic tongues, it wasn't Dade who climbed to the top with the exception of the exceptional Rank S among the adventurers named Rank A.
"Phew.... Whatever, we need to do something about Ray to get Seto. Looks like he's got a bunch of magic items, and if you kill him, I can go higher."
In fact, the matter of Anterm's likely culprit of the Count Zorgela family has already been passed on to the Alliance through Dusker, and even those in the Alliance have information from Dusker, which means that they have been arranged for nomination… Happy or unhappy, I don't know what's going on in that area to Anterm, who is now hiding and exploring Ray with magic items.
"... Shit, it's useless"
Anterm exasperates at the fact that the magic item has expired and the eyeball has disappeared.
Either way, I can't get any more information on Ray now than the last one has vanished.
Nevertheless, there were hints.
Because in the Trent Forest, Ray was playing with wolves.
... It's actually different.
Either way, Ray's a cute wolf.
Kill that wolf, Ray will undoubtedly have blood on his head and he won't be able to make a calm decision.
That way, even though I'm in my favor, I'm even more in favor of Ray.
... Of course, I understood that Anterm is also a strong ray. I was, but I was still firmly confident that I was higher.
However, I had never seen the true strength of a being named Ray, and it was from the impression I had when I met him in the aristocratic city.
Still, in fact, Anterm has been doing well in that way before, and this time again, he decided it was okay, so to speak.
"You're hungry. Do you want something to eat?"
Squirting, fishing in the room.
It must be due to the mid-summer temperatures. From the next room comes a thick iron rust odor.
Noticing it, Anterm frowned lightly and became grumpy.
This house can be described as a common house among the guilds.
When it came to why I chose this house as a lurking place, it was because I decided that I should do so.
Only Anterm, who has dived through numerous training grounds as an adventurer, has a very sharp account of this hand.
I decided it would be safe here, so I chose this house as a lurking place.
But... as a resident of this house, naturally, and if you try to anterm it, you forced the opponent to imitate it, such as against the noble self... and shut it up forever, but in this heat, the smell naturally cages too.
That's why there was quite a stench in this house.
Anterm didn't find that interesting, but still decides he shouldn't go out now and is in the building like this.
"Well, that's not good."
Eat the bread that was in the kitchen, but naturally the bread is hardened with the bread from the day before.
It was possible that it was getting worse this mid-summer, but Anterm was eating without any concern for the area.
Originally, hardened bread imitates things like dipping in soup and eating, but Anterm chews a thousand pieces of bread, whether he didn't know about it or was it a hassle.
Just the anterms used to a sumptuous meal, just the bread...... it's also baked but nothing, on the contrary the hardening bread is not very much but not what you could have eaten.
Still, I couldn't eat it because I thought I should eat it when I could eat it as an adventurer?
"Well, if you can, it's time to get out of a place like this... is it still not good now?
It was a grunting anterm, but no one answers that voice.
I guess I'm summing up my thoughts by talking to myself and answering myself to it.
"First of all, if you kill that wolf, you can upset or piss Ray off. Then I can win."
Such a solitary voice echoed in the house.
"So? Was it an anterm? You still can't find him?
To that word of Dusker, the man with the scratches all over his face bows his head sorry.
"Sorry, I haven't been able to find it yet. Is it such a place as Rank A Adventurer even if it rots? My people are desperate to find me."
The man's name is Egg.
He used to lead a band of bandits called Meadow Wolves, but now he served Dusker by Ray's scouts.
Of course, it is more than such a background, it is not a distinguished position.
Something like Gilm's intelligence department?
Those who do dark things behind them.
Those eggs have been coming to Gilm to serve Dusker for years.
Most places are familiar with this guild, too, like their own garden.
Nonetheless, we cannot find a person named Anterm.
Anterm stands out because he was born only of nobility and has a neat face.
Also, although it is easy to stand out in person personality, it was still not possible to find the appearance of Anterm.
"Is the most likely is still Slam Street"
"But I hear you have an aristocratic high temper, don't you? Do you want to go to Slam Street?
I had no idea that Dusker was going to a place like Slam Street just for an anterm of character such as a noble nobleman.
No, it's not just Dusker, it's the same with Egg again.
I didn't meet Anterm in person, but from the information I'm hearing, it doesn't seem like someone who's going to be going to Slam Street.
"So... it's possible that you're lurking in some building. There are also many people in Gilm. Some of them will hide criminals if they get paid."
You're a pain in the ass.
Dusker groans bitterly.
He was the guild he ruled, but Dusker doesn't have the delusion that everyone is a good person... etc.
As Egg said, depending on the amount, there will be people to hide, even criminals.
Beyond that, it's very difficult to figure out where to look.
There's no way I'm going to look into all the buildings.
No, if you've searched all of Gilm's buildings, if you're hiding someone like that, it's possible you're hiding in a hidden room or something.
That's not the common sense story to look into everything to such a place.
"What do you want to do? To be honest, the same goes for Anterm, but there are a lot of other things to do, so there are only a few people you can break into."
The matter of Anthelm is now of paramount importance, but there are also other people in the Guild who are plotting something else to get into it, as well as dealing with spies sent by other nobles and other countries.
The Anthelm thing is important, but so are you.
More than that, I can't imitate that in the present situation, all of the eggs are directed at the search for the anterm.
... That's why it's also hard to keep the criminals of the Rank A adventurers intact.
"The soldiers are spinning that way a few times, right?
"Of course, but the soldiers have so much to do that you can't beat them."
Dusker exhales loudly.
In fact, the soldiers have a lot of work to do, and we hire adventurers like Vihella and the rest of the city to look around because the soldiers can't keep the Guild safe alone.
Given the circumstances around here, you can't force the soldiers to do it.
"That's right.... Why don't you just ask Ray? Ray says it's Seto's sense of smell or something, so we can figure it out?
"Even if they say so. Ray's got a job for Ray."
"But it was Ray who Anterm and I rubbed yesterday, wasn't it?
"That's right.... Though, it's not like Ray got tangled up in the anterm. It seems that Anthelm was involved in his desire for Seto."
"It's, again..."
Suicide.
That's what I said, Egg.
Eggs, too, can understand the feeling of wanting a ceto.
Anyway, Seto is a Griffon of Rank A monsters.
It's not just a griffon either, it's a rare species that uses several skills...... in other words, it's a monster of rank S.
Just take him, I can make a big face.
It is a fact, otherwise it means a great deal as a material.
Even naturally loose wings and cut nails mean a lot if you try to be an alchemist.
If beings like Anterm get Ceto, what the hell would Ceto be treated like?
As an egg who knows about Seto, it seems that way.
"Anyway, it's very dangerous to have rank A adventurers lurking like Anterm"
"I guess."
Egg also understands what Dusker is trying to say.
If this were the work of an adventurer about Rank D, Dusker wouldn't have done anything so desperate either.
But Anterm is rank A.
Its strength is at the top of the list even when viewed throughout the guild.
Though salvation is only superior and not the apex.
And when I became someone who could deal with a rank A adventurer like Anterm, that was the one thing that was really limited.
"Right. Should I contact the Alliance to turn the alias into an Anthelm crusade?"
"... okay? Rank A Adventurers and Aliasers can be very damaging to the Guild."
Damage in this case is not just damage to buildings.
That's the damage, including the lives of those in the Guild.
Originally there were rank A and aliases in the outer realm compared to the average adventurer.
What happens if such a person becomes violent all over the city? You won't even have to think about that.
Not to mention that having an alias close to Egg and Dusker is even more so because Ray specializes in wide-area destruction magic.
"That may happen, but now it's more dangerous to leave the anterm alone. I'd like to ask someone who doesn't fight so flashy if he can."
"Right. … the question is if you have a free hand with an alias."
If you have an alias, of course, you have a high level of awareness.
Beyond that, it was also easy to assume that if that were the case, they would naturally make a lot of requests for nominations.
I guess that's why Egg is worried about whether there are any available people in the current situation.
"We need to talk to the guild around here. If you're still in the Guild when you're asked, I'm sorry, but you need to take this one."
Originally, Dusker doesn't like the way he wields power.
But just because I didn't like it didn't mean I wouldn't use it.
If that's what you need, I won't hesitate.
That is what I do as a lord...... if anything I hesitate to do here, I was certain that there would be a lot of damage to the inhabitants of Gilm.
That's why while Dusker understood that the impression from the guild would be worse in this matter, he wrote a letter asking him to hurry up and go into such action, telling him to head to the guild when he summoned his belly-hearted men, not Egg......
