- That evening, I went for the royal palace, rocked by a carriage, to meet with the sender of the seal.

The companion dressed in the same outfit as usual, Garnett.

And the other one I was supposed to pick up along the way.

The carriage stops on the road to the Wang capital and a female knight in private clothes comes aboard, hiding her face in a hood.

Long time no see, Lord Commander.

Hildo Armyfield of the Knights of the Neon Scale.

The White Wolf Knights, to whom I am to be entrusted, are to be seconded as the representative of Honeysuckle.

Only a very limited number of people know who it is, but its identity is an elf displaced from the Northern Tree Sea Union, as well as a researcher who aims to uncover the truth about the history that the High Elves conceal.

As Hild lowered his back to the opposite seat, he made me try to retrieve the same envelope letter I had received.

"I'm surprised. I can't believe you got a letter straight from an adult like that. I still don't know how to connect with the Captain."

"It's not even Roku's edge, though. But the fact that that minister contacted me definitely should have something to do with the investigation into the 'Demon King's Castle area'. What was the letter you received?

"I hung up the convocation on the leader of the White Wolf Knights, so I asked him to assemble the knights to be seconded during his stay in Wangdu. Would you like to see"

I'll take the letter and see what's in it.

Sure, the text is different from the letter addressed to me.

I'm the main one and Hildo's the one who wrote it.

"Lord Commander and Minister of the sender… what is the relationship between the Duke of Kingswell"

"Right...... I'll explain it lightly before we get to the royal palace"

- Things go back a long time before the Duke of Kingswell's clan went down to His Majesty's military gate.

The labyrinth, later named 'The Millennial Corridor of Narrow', with all the difficulty and little to gain, existed in what was then the territory of the Duke of Kingswell family.

The Duke of Kingswell had one brother before he succeeded the housekeeper, but the person somehow found paranoid value in the labyrinth and repeated his own investigation without regard for the house.

As far as his brother was concerned, his parents abandoned him in the name of letting the governor inherit him, and his brother likes him.

Even then, the Duke's brother continues his investigation, which only seems to be wasted on his parents' money, turning down news in the labyrinth after years of straying.

"... the problem starts here. It was thought to be a worthless dungeon, and from the back of The Millennium Corridor in Naruto, a Dwarf invaded by the Demon King sent a message asking for help."

"Then I know too. Gandalf, the Demon King, led the war against the army."

"Oh. The Duke of Kingswell recommended the brave Falcon raised by hand salt to the operation, but he failed to return. I was the only one who got cut off on the way back to earth."

That's the beginning of it all for me.

It was the first step towards separating the adventurer's life, which had not budged in fifteen years, succeeding as an arms dealer and carrying the unwanted title of a knight captain.

"But for the Duke of Kingswell, my return by evolving my skills was an anomaly that I couldn't ignore."

- The Duke's brother had conveyed to his brother, the Duke of Kingswell, the hypothesis that 'that labyrinth has the effect of drawing human power' shortly before his disappearance.

Normally, it was nothing but paranoia, and the Duke smiled and listened, but a 'living witness' appeared to back it up.

The Duke was in a hurry.

The vast array of research materials and hypotheses left by my brother have a mountain of content that has strayed from the regular track, and if we report these in great seriousness, the Duke can also be questioned for sanity.

But in case you find out later that your brother's research should have been a powerful clue, you could be rebuffed that he kept it secret the other way around.

Whichever concerns are at stake, they will give the political opponents a clearance to enter.

So what the Duke chose was to put the 'living witness' under the watch of the Knights for good reason so that he could respond quickly to either fall.

"In the unlikely event that something strange happens to my body and it turns out that my brother's research that I kept secret was correct, if I could have been discovered early by being watching me at the Duke's discretion, I still have extra money to offset the merit... he also said it was totally just for self-preservation."

Of course it was a good annoyance for me.

To make the Silver Wings watch over me, he murdered the brave Falcon, smuggled a misrill, but he was next on the list of charges he didn't remember.

"Ha... what would you say, that was a real disaster..."

Hildo is also exhaling for a long time in an abrupt manner.

"But as it turns out, the Duke's self preservation fell in the right direction."

I turned my gaze outside the carriage with complicated emotions.

"Thanks to the Silver Wings Knights coming to Green Hollow at that time, I was able to realize as soon as possible what Gandalf the Demon King was up to when all kinds of coincidences stacked next."

"I mean, without it, I wouldn't have been able to get close to any of the leading clues either... something that I don't know how to connect with."

"Absolutely."

Though it was an awesome and unbelievable history, the results alone are definitely the basis of the present.

I'm not going to be hairy to thank the Duke personally, but I guess there are reasons around for not getting resentment and hatred.

"In the end, the Duke was ordered by His Majesty to scrutinize and analyse the material and to share it if it had any results..."

"Did the fact that there was a call still mean that there was progress"

Hild has embarked on himself with a full look of anticipation.

From her purpose, the survey data for The Millennium Corridor in Naruto, which is seen to have something to do with ancient magical civilization, will be what you want so much that you can get your hands out of your throat.

But there was no basis for a cheap undertaking if it had to be.

"Well... I don't know. Maybe it's just a status report, or maybe you just say hello again because I'm officially in charge."

"That minister, you can't really read what you're thinking at the root in the first place."

Garnett, who remained silent all the while explaining, opened her mouth to throw away as she reassembled her legs.

"It's self preservation. I don't know what it is, but I don't think that's all. I don't mean to be malicious... it would be easier if you could do something more blatant."

"What kind of a silver wing knight is that?... Now it's time to get down"

As the limit for getting in the carriage approached, I spoke to Garnett and Hild to get ready to get off.
