Let's Manage The Tower

(18) Recovery

"It's up to you to know that the previous mirror is a divine instrument. You decide what to do."

Dana asked the three of them in a hurry, showing signs of leaving.

"But I don't have that water mirror right now...!

"That's right, but it doesn't really matter."

"Well, what do you mean!?

Dana replied in a hurry to her usual peach.

"Didn't I tell you? That's a divine instrument."

"If I'm really lucky, I'll come back to you again. But that's the only way things can happen."

Well, what do you mean?

Dana dropped some tension to explain Peach and Colette.

Floria talks to Dana like that, shrugging her shoulders.

"The easiest thing to understand is that the temple intervenes. Or a country."

"Really!?

There's no way you can win by negotiating with someone like that.

Florian shook his neck to the side of Dana.

"That's why I told you. What you think is up to you. Then, you should stop thinking that you can continue to use the artifact without breaking it."

"That's right, it looks like they already found out before they stole it."

"Really... what?

Dana, who didn't realize it at all, saw the three of them with anxious expressions.

After seeing Dana like that, Floria sighed and continued.

"What was it like in the first place, the negotiators came all the way down here? It wouldn't be strange to think there's something."

"... negotiator?

"There must have been people who visited here many times before the mirror was stolen."

That's how Dana remembered Mist for the first time.

I haven't been here since the theft, but it's only been a few days.

I simply thought it would be like that.

"Negotiator, Mr. Mist..."

"It's a profession that most people have no connection to, so I can't help but know... it's a lot more defenseless, right?

"Well, that's..."

Floria shook her neck to the side of Dana, who had lost her word.

"No, I'm sorry. I'm not blaming you. I just wanted you to know that this could happen from now on, that the mirror is a divine instrument."

"That's right, as I said before, it's up to you to decide what to think from now on."

"I see. That concludes our conversation. And then, what do you think?"

Colette closed and reached out to the water mirror on the table to retrieve it.

After all, Dana could only stare at it in a daze.

The man snorted his throat as he saw what his men were carrying.

"The world doesn't know that this stuff is going to be money. Hey."

It was just a coincidence that a man found out about the mirror.

I knew it was rumored about the rare tools used by fortunetellers, but I wouldn't hire anyone to steal it.

Instead of paying the information fee, the strangled priest told me about the mirror.

He said, "That mirror is a real artifact."

Of course, men didn't believe that story from the beginning.

Eventually, however, I saw the negotiator move and understood that the information was true.

I hired an expert to steal from the fortuneteller, so it cost me a lot of money, but I gave up that I couldn't help it.

It was absolutely necessary because the fortuneteller had to take action before handing things over to the negotiator.

As a result, I got the product at hand, so I thought it would be fine.

Then, instead of using the transfer gate, you can move to other continents to become a temple and sell the country to your opponents.

He didn't move immediately because he was alert to the movement of the guard.

But that's enough.

The man thought so and ordered his men to bring it to him from the storage area.

Looking at the water mirror in front of him, the man snapped again.

"Anyway, sell it like it's good."

The man is already using the transfer gate to move to other continents.

Because the amount of money that can be traded can be enormous to leave to others.

I don't intend to take a few more men to escort them.

It costs money to grow the organization.

The funds obtained in this case were meant to be used as funds to give the official back money.

A man who was calculating such an uncaught raccoon noticed the noise outside the room.

"What?

Now that I was paying, nobody answered the question.

I heard that something urgent had happened, but it was already too late.

The door opened and the cause of the noise came in.

"Hey, you're in a good mood. Excuse me, could you come with me for a moment?

That said, he was one of the officials who came in police clothes.

"Hmm, what!? I haven't done anything like get stuck all of a sudden!?

"Ha ha. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

After a conversation like I had heard somewhere, the man was taken by a man in police uniform.

At that time, the water mirror placed on the table was to be collected as an "important reference".

Having received the report, Benito nodded with satisfaction.

It says about the money that was recovered at the same time as the outbreak of a dark guild.

Of course, it was not everything, but it contained the information that Benito wanted.

One of them also describes an example water mirror.

If this happens, it will be returned to the owner in a few days.

That way, we can resume negotiations again via Mist.

And it wasn't until two days after Benito received the report that Benito was thinking about it.

"That water mirror belonged to the cultivated Dark Alliance!

Seeing Adelmo say that all of a sudden, Benito had a bad feeling.

"... your ears are fast."

"We also have our own route."

Benito only returned "Really?", thinking that his own route seemed fragile.

Adelmo said she was even more surprised if she noticed Benito's idea.

"Now, let's go get it!

"... Huh?

Benito did not understand what Adelmo was saying and responded unexpectedly.

Benito would only have been such a runaway merchant.

It was such a rare development that Adelmo continued to talk with pride without realizing it.

"The guards retrieved the mirror. It's only natural that we go pick it up!

Seeing such Adelmo, Benito felt a serious headache.

I wonder if I have to convince the other person of this lack of common sense from now on.

At first, I thought it was quite intelligent and rational, but it was Benito who wanted to beat himself up in the past because it was stunning.
