Let's Manage The Tower
(7) Value of artifacts
Carmen, who dropped Samuel off at the tavern with pride, turned to the table where he had been negotiating earlier.
Beyond that gaze, Floria and Sylvia were having snacks when they said they were coming to eat.
"... is that good?
Carmen talked to Floria just in time.
"Huh? What happened?
"Let him have something like that. Even if it happens on the way, I'm going to blame you.
Instead of Floria, who had a meal in her mouth, Sylvia answered.
"There will be no problem at all. At that point, we just stick it out to the government."
"Well, I suppose so. I think there's a lot of surprises, a lot of darkness?
"Now, will you surprise him?
In response to Sylvia's query, Carmen's eyes were rounded for a moment and she burst out.
"Sure, if you mess with your emotions like that, you'll soon find out."
That's what I'm talking about.
Floria, who had swallowed the contents of her mouth, replied quickly.
The same goes for Sylvia, but I can see how she grew up around here.
Many adventurers who are rough don't have these kinds of manners.
Of course, not all adventurers do, because every three men and four men of nobility sometimes do adventurers.
Carmen and Florian, with A-rank abilities, don't think Samuel can handle the raid.
I just wanted to say that that's possible.
It doesn't matter if Florians already understand the possibility, even if they don't bother to say it.
"If you understand, that's fine."
"I'm sorry to bother you. Besides, we have to be careful now."
"Hmm? What do you mean?
Sylvia answers Carmen, who leaned his neck without knowing what Floria meant.
"We're not the only ones after this artifact."
"Well..."
Carmen, who tried to keep on thinking, looked up.
"... is there such a strange guy? Whatever I was trying to get, as a divine instrument..."
Sylvia nodded in agreement with the murky Carmen.
"I understand what you're trying to say. Because this artifact doesn't seem to have the strength to listen to it."
"If you know... hmm? Can't you see?"
Carmen nodded and noticed Sylvia's subtle rhetoric.
Being invisible actually sounds like you have the power you deserve as a divine instrument.
And Sylvia was actually making the rhetoric with that intention.
Florian also did not deny Sylvia's words, so Carmen understood that the artifacts they were given were truly worth it.
I tilted my neck because I could not find that much value.
"Honestly, I don't think I'm worth it."
"I guess so. I can't go into any more detail."
"Oh, that's fine. I won't ask."
If you stick your neck in strangely, you could get caught in something extra.
It may not be what Carmen thought he was trying to get the instruments of God, but I'm not going to get caught up in it until I'm sure it won't be mine already.
Floria, who saw through Carmen's thoughts, shook her neck vertically.

After that, Floria and the others had a very common conversation, but the change in the situation came just after they had finished eating.
A group dressed as priests appeared at the entrance to the tavern.
Those who were noisy in the tavern began to talk about a group of about five people who appeared in silence.
If you are an adventurer in the first place, there are few priests in the tavern.
The group was clearly alien to the Adventurers and belonged to the Temple.
Carmen was also puzzled by the sudden appearance of a group of priests.
"... what are these boys doing here?
Sylvia answered Carmen with her eyebrows frowned and said so.
"Is there only one reason why they showed up where they couldn't have come?
"What?
Sylvia's words were meaningless and Carmen leaned her neck, but she immediately turned her gaze in a certain direction and looked convinced.
Beyond Carmen's gaze stands the sword of the artifact that Samuel obtained earlier.
"... I see. And it's not too soon, is it?
"It won't be too soon. Perhaps not because we've known what we got, but because you've been paying attention since you started negotiating."
Sylvia said that with a sip of a drink on the table.
Carmen saw Floria and Sylvia take their appearance for granted and understood that this was what she expected from the beginning.
While Sylvia was having that conversation with Carmen, as expected, a group of clergy approached the table where they were.
Coming straight ahead also shows that they have information about the artifact from the beginning.
One of the five men approaching was wearing the most luxurious priest's clothes.
And Sylvia saw through his clothes what the central figure was in this Seychun temple.
"... the head of the temple?"
"That's it again. I can't afford that much."
After hearing Sylvia's tweets, Floria turned her tongue.
The fact that the Temple Master himself is coming out can be said to mean that he attaches so much importance to the acquisition of artifacts.
But, as Florian says, you can also say that you're in such a hurry that you have to take the top out.
Such detailed information becomes important for negotiation.
The priests who approached Sylvia's table came straight to Sylvia.
"Elisamil, thank God for your guidance."
"Kowske, God's guidance."
Saying hello in the name of God, who believes in each other, is peculiar to priests.
Sylvia didn't miss the moment Seychun's temple chief frowned when he named him Kaiseki.
Floria doesn't say anything about it because she has experienced enough to hate being handled like that.
As for Sylvia, he usually gives the name of the examiner because he understands how the other person feels about the real god in the first greeting.
By the way, there is no doubt that Sylvia, who has the blessing of Elisamear God, gives the name Elisamear God.
Floria looked at the interaction from the side with an interesting expression.
Since the time of the queen, the clergyman's response was usually left to Sylvia, so I don't have any particular impression of ignoring myself.
Rather, it was Florian who was concerned about leaving Silvia to her own devices.
