Master of the brave.

"Dead!? You're lying, what do you mean!

The day after the catch took place.

Rock's voice echoed in the guard's stuffing where the four men captured by Wynn and Leticia were housed.

The Knights School class filed an absence notice as a priority, and Rock was visiting the Guard's Stuff.

Likewise Winn and Leticia and even Cornelia were accompanied.

Cornelia also expressed surprise and interest in the incident that had occurred since her breakup last night.

As Winn, who is always accompanied as Cornelia's squire, it helps that she moves with me.

But I was just about to interrogate the men I captured in the guard's jail, and one of the guards I was with yesterday told me they were "dead in jail".

He said, "To the extent that I'm not dying, I think I've cut you some slack.

Leticia tells the guard as surprised.

"Yes, we also confirm that..."

The guard's story is that when the men were brought into this jar last night, treatment was given by a doctor belonging to the guard.

In the physician's view at that time, there was certainly no separate letter of life, and the men were just losing their minds.

The men who had completed the doctor's examination were first housed in a cell in the basement of the jail by the guards who were on duty.

However, there was only one cell with the "Enchanted Enchantment" to accommodate those who could use magic, so all four of them were accommodated in the same room.

And when the night dawned and it was morning, the guard in charge went down to the basement to deliver breakfast to the prisoners and peeked into the jail, saying that all four men were spitting blood out of their mouths and getting cold.

"Suicide by poison?

"You didn't check your belongings or anything?

The guard shook his head at Winn and Rock's inquiry.

"No, I checked my belongings properly, etc. We also confirm that you have not planted poison in your mouth during a doctor's visit."

"Did you plug it in from the outside or something? Like through a window."

The guard also shakes his head at Locke's allegations.

"As I said earlier, the cells here are built underground. Among them is the Enchanted Demonic Junction, whose cells are located in the deepest part of the country and therefore cannot be broken in from the outside."

"Could you show me to the cell where those four people were dead?

Four went down to the basement following the guard's guide.

The passages, the walls, and the ceilings were all made of stone, and there were six cells.

They are all separated by an iron lattice, with three or four prisoners sleeping in one room or watching the people who sat up and came down the stairs.

Is the hygiene not very good, as soon as I got down to the basement, the smell that could have poked my nose and Leticia and Cornelia held my nose at the same time and glanced at me.

"Hey, sisters. Pretty. Wanna play with me? Uhhhhhhhhhh..."

From within the iron lattice, the guard leads us as we gaze at the unreached trying to reach out to the women.

"Well, the kind of people we accommodate are predominantly the ones who either got drunk and fought or worked seco stealing.

As I'm sure you know, felons are housed once at the branch headquarters of the Guard, set up between East, West and North, and sent there to a dedicated facility to house criminals as soon as they are investigated and found guilty.

For once, they also planned to send it to branch headquarters by the end of the day... "

"Here it is," the guard explained, leading the three men in front of the iron door at the stake.

Only the room was made of iron, not iron plaid, but all the doors were thick and heavy iron.

Just at the height of the eye position, a small peek window had been created to allow just a peek inside and an opening to insert the meal into the bottom.

"As I said earlier, there is a" Sealed Demon's Order "in this cell, and this shackled person will no longer be able to use magic"

When the guard removed the metal shackles that were hung on the wall, he showed them to the four of them.

And he unlocks the lock of the cell and opens the door.

The walls inside are made of stone.

There were no lighting windows in the basement, and the only way to the exterior of the room was with the exception of the iron door, which later had a small hole for ventilation.

Although Cornelia, who specializes in grant magic, went inside and checked the walls and such, I don't see any other strange places.

"Sure, you feel like you're losing strength from your body."

Winn didn't feel anything in particular, but Rock has some disgusting look on his face.

Even if he wasn't fitted with shackles, it seemed to affect him a little.

"Normally, it's quite difficult to seal the magic of others, but the magic of the Sealed Demonic Realm here seems to be made by a considerable owner of arms.

Is that even the court magician who has a seat? "

"Yes, you're right"

The guard answered politely whether Cornelia saw her as an aristocratic maid, at least a woman in a noble capacity.

Cornelia nodded deeply as the guard gave the name of the courtroom magician who had treated the magic to this cell.

The name belonged to a famous court magician who has served the Empire since longer than before Cornelia was born.

"If it's more magical, if it's not the owner of so much power, it'll seal the magic."

"Hmmm... if this is about the juncture, I can use magic though"

The guard looks surprised at Leticia, who spoke with one shackle in his hand.

"I was told that the Sealed Demonic Realm, which is imposed in this cell, can seal magic to the point where even the court demon conductor, who is given a seat, can finally cast simple magic......

You know, noblemen have magic. "

He had an admirable look on his face.

"So, does that also mean you could have used some kind of magic to kill four people?

"No, I don't."

But Winn replies negatively to the guard's query with a slightly anticipated color.

"I don't think the bearer of her magic is."

The last defense of the Empire, the Seven Kingdoms Magic Formation, which is finally activated using a hefty ritual and a tower that amplifies all seven magical effects

One of the greatest secrets of magic.

With that magic, Leticia wants to know if we can finally seal up the magic.

Though treated by some of the most famous court magicians, it is only natural that her magic cannot be sealed with a "sealed demonic kingdom" made by personal degree rather than ritual magic.

If there were anyone else who could use magic even if thrown into this place, it would be about [the Great Sage] Tiara Sculls Verfa in Winn's mind.

Maybe if it's the same high elf as her, there are other people who can use it. But it would be wiser to assume that there were other means than the possibility for such a person to visit this place.

The four of them, who got no clue in the dungeon, return to the Guard's jar again.

It was the rooms in the stuffing room that were guided.

The guard, who was responding to the four of us, told me that he was going to prepare tea, and went outside.

"You're likely sealed in the mouth."

"Damn......"

Winn opens his mouth where there are only four of them.

Locke regretted slapping the grip on his right hand flat on his left hand.

"But how did you bring poison into the cell? You didn't lie to the guard earlier, did you? Brother."

Maybe someone with a sealed mouth is inside.

"If you do, you'll have enough people to influence the Guard."

"I wonder if we can find out what happened in the Guard's jar?

Locke says as he stares at the door the guard left.

"I guess we'll start with an internal investigation by the Guards. Besides, even if we find any injustice, I think it's the job of the gendarmerie."

Even the chief guard, the director of the stuffing station, has a lower status than a knight.

However, senior knights of the Knights, or noble classes, hold the position in the upper headquarters of the Guard.

Four branch chiefs in Imperial Capital are sent knights in the rank of Thousand Cavaliers, and the General Manager is a knight in the rank of Thousand Cavaliers.

It is a scandal of the Guard that a prisoner has been assassinated in a cell in the jail.

First, an investigation will be conducted in an organization located inside the Guard.

The intervention of the Knights before that investigation is carried out cannot be allowed first and foremost as an act of transcendence.

For example, even if the Wins are the parties that captured them, it's not certain if those four men actually have anything to do with the case that the Rocks Lloyds squad is after.

Rock in the present state - it becomes an act of transcendence for the Knights to embark on an investigation.

"Can we just report it to the captain and let him know when the investigation report comes out... after that, it's the carriage crest"

Locke drops his eyes on the narcotic paper he has at hand.

It was a crest that relied on memory whenever possible.

"Exactly. Then you don't know."

"How are Letty and Mr. Cornelia?

"I don't know either if that's just it. Because there are many houses with crests."

Leticia also shook her head.

"I don't know anything more noble."

"Why don't you look it up at the crest house? We manage all the crests there, and I think if you ask the crest officer, he can show you the materials."

"Well, let's find out at the crest house"

Where Locke nodded at Cornelia's suggestion, the guard came in with tea for a number of people.

"That's right. I need to ask you one more thing..."

When Rock told him about the recent disappearance in the Glades, the guard replied with a somewhat puzzled look on his face.

"Is it a ghetto... it's hard for us to grasp over there. In the first place, the inhabitants there have so much hostility to us."

Originally, the Glades were a city where the predators had flown in.

Something that caused me a lot of debt and I ran away at night without being able to repay that. It is a place where those who have lost their villages due to natural disasters such as famine, flooding, or demons have no choice but to come out to the city and find work, and where those who have fallen ill live.

I don't say all of those people, but it is natural that there are those who often dye their hands at crime, and when they do, they conflict with the organizations that maintain security.

"Right...... if those living in the Glades are going to ask for a case resolution, I think they're going to, like, Adventurer Guild or something.

You'll need a fee there, but new adventurers can hire you for a cheaper price, and they often have more information behind them than we do. "

"An Adventurer's Guild? When you ask me, it sure is."

"If you're an Adventurer Guild, I guess I should go. I know him, too.

What Mr. Seri asked me to do is not work for the Knights, so it would be an off-the-mission job for Rock, right?

"Sort of."

"I'll go over there and ask."

"Could you possibly return to the work of an adventurer?

"I didn't officially take the request, so I'm not doing my job,"

Winn laughed at Leticia as she embarked on herself.

"I have a job as a squire, so I'm just gonna go talk to him."

"I'm also interested in the Adventurer Guild. I'd like to join you."

"Then Winn and Cornelia, Leticia decided to go to the Adventurer's Guild, and I'm the only one at the Crest House... I don't know, this somewhat angry combination..."

Most importantly, we don't even know if it has anything to do with the Locks' mission yet.

The Wins are only telling each other well, and that's a thankful story to hear from Rock, and it's a mystery to be angry with -.

(I know, but I feel something irrational...)

Rock is where he left off the jar, bashing Winn's back as much as he wants as the Wins break up trying to make their way to the Adventurer's Guild! and slapped him with a flat hand.

"Ouch! What are you doing?"

"Ugh!

Rock kicks Winn, who protested a little tearful.

"Let me know as soon as you figure something out, okay?

"Ah, oh. I know. I'll see you later."

To Locke, who says it as if to throw up a discarded dialogue, Winn walks across the left and right sandwiched by Leticia and Cornelia with a somewhat bewildered look.

Dropping him off afterwards, Rock walked out toward the crest house, slightly sluggish.

(If you see that sight, you're gonna want to hit me that it wasn't me!
