"... it seems that the Mighty Scout failed. The worm I put on the new adventurer was destroyed."
A small city near the Glendale border.
Keel blurred in the basement of the city's tavern.
What Keel felt impossible was the complete destruction of the surveillance bugs that sneaked up on Kate and the others.
The bug that is under surveillance continues to inhale its human magic. Moreover, even those who are good at magic detection are extremely difficult to discover because of the synchronization of magic with the monitored object. Bugs are ultra-micro in size, so they are not usually visible.
Keel has used this surveillance worm to gather information from both domestic and international sources. Sometimes he grabbed the secrets of royalty in a country and used the Dark Clan to threaten the King and steal money. But....
An insect with the ability to scratch the eyes of the dark to protect the royal family appeared to be of no use.
Hart is constantly spreading thin magic all around him. This is to prepare for ambushes from demons and other vanishing beings. When the diluted magic detects something, more tentacle-like magic stretches from Hart to get more detailed information.
Hart has moved with Tina to Kyoko's side. The thin magic he was releasing captured the presence of the worm that had caught Kate. And to find out the details, the moment the tentacle-like magic stretched from Hart touched the bug ─ ─
The worm burst.
Because the magic that slightly exceeded the allowable limit was poured into force.
"Who the hell are they?
"Someone...? In the meantime, all I can say is don't do anything anymore."
Keel meets behind a desk with a well-known informant. Nothing to hide his face from, but Keel can't recognize the face of the informant. I wonder if some skill is active.
No matter how much Keel interrogated her information, the identity was unknown.
However, in the underworld, the high ability not to let the other person find his/her information represents the person's ability. So Keel trusted the information that the woman brought.
"I'm interested in them. I'll play the reward as usual, so please do something."
Gad was going to fight the Hurts and Keel started the investigation because he was told to look into it. At first, I was going to look into it briefly and report it to Gad before I finished.
Keel, who gathered the information with the help of the front society, lost sight of the authenticity of the information about Hart and the others. Because they were all incredible.
And he was interested in El Nor.
"The heroes Tina, the princess of Al-Haem, the princess of Bestier, and the spirit-king-class spirits are gathered in one place. And in the center is a man named Hart who beat and blew up the Black Dragon....."
"That's not all."
Yes?
"So I'll tell you a little bit. Ah (...), (...) is a bug that will destroy countless magicians and tame the devil because he likes his appearance."
"Ah, demons!?"
That's why this is my final advice.
The informant woman stood up.
She was releasing an intense killer.
"Don't touch El Nor."
─ ─ ─ ─
"... oh?
Keel noticed that he was in the Knights' quarters.
"I'm sure."
Something catches me.
I can't remember my last behavior.
And I felt strongly restricted in something.
"Hello... am I brainwashed?
Normally, no one even notices the discomfort. But Keel grasped it with his special skills.
He puts his hand on his head and (...) washes (...) his brain for (...) minutes.
"Ah, no. There's still something left... Damn it, I'm a little fucked up, but I got eyes on it."
That said, he was laughing like a child who found a new toy. Most of the brainwashing magic that the informant woman cast on him has been forcefully removed.
Something still seems restricted, but his interest doesn't stop anymore.
"When you say no, I have a personality that makes me want to do more."
