11
At the Lordship Hall, Captain Tesla welcomed me.
The guardian of the town of Voca has a squad in charge of the gates of the town, a squad in charge of the hall of lords and a squad in charge of the security of the town, with a captain in each of the three. Captain Tesla is the captain in charge of the Lords' Hall.
Lekan took Edda into the hall, silently intimidating the barking wooden wolf.
The room that was put through was not the lord's office, but the reception where the superior coordination was placed.
I sat down because they told me to sit on the couch.
Soon the lord arrived. My son Agate is with me.
"Hey, Lecan. Long time no see."
"Oh."
"That's Edda."
"Yes."
"I didn't know you were such a poor girl. Please, thank you for this bandit crusade."
"Ha ha hi"
"Well, Lecan. I would recommend you as a Golden Adventurer. Can you take it?"
"When you become a Golden Adventurer, do you incur any obligations"
"There is no special duty whatsoever. Sometimes a leading member of the Washi or town may make a request for a nomination, but that may be refused. I mean, it doesn't change my position as an adventurer."
"The pharmacist's training under Sheila will be completed by the end of this year. After that, I think we're going to wander around. I haven't made any specific plans yet."
"Really? That's too bad. But that doesn't mean I'm never going back to this town at all?
"I don't know. There may be times to go back. Maybe not."
"That's fine. Go back to town sometimes, if you can. But it's up to you, too."
"What good is it to you that I become a golden adventurer in this town?
"Hmm. Having a gold-class adventurer in town only improves security. And it has the effect of making the surrounding lords and those who hesitate not to do so a little bit. Besides, it's special in your case."
"What's special?
"The best way for a lord to make a fool of himself inside and outside the town is to have a knighthood, but my town is still not at that stage. The Lords of the Labyrinth City are sloppy. You can always hire a high-ranking adventurer. For a lord who is neither of them, a golden adventurer will replace it"
"I see."
"But you and Edda, as well as being gold-class adventurers, are labyrinth trespassers. Besides, you are a rare adventurer who has broken two labyrinths of convenience three times. You are the adventurers of my town. [M] Don't call this special, what shall I say?"
"There is no guarantee that in the future we will act as you will. Does it still make sense to be golden?"
"That's not the problem. Rather, it would be a political defeat if it came to exercising the force of you. Because we don't use deterrence, it makes sense."
"Hmm? I don't really understand the nasty story. Anyway, if it's in your interest not to oblige us to do anything, that's fine."
"I'd appreciate it if you could say that. I'm sorry, but the impression I had with you before was that today's consultation would be difficult."
Sheila told me.
"From Lord Sheila? What?"
"My discussions with you told me to give up everything I could give away"
"Right. Lord Sheila. To her, really."
What is it really? The lord did not try to say the rest of it.
After a moment of silence, Lecan opened his mouth.
"If this is all we have to do, we're going home."
"Oh, no, wait. I still need to talk to you."
"Say it."
"First, I want to make sure in advance. You solo broke through the labyrinth of Golbull."
"Oh."
"And twice"
"Oh."
"Maybe when you came here before, you were already stepping through the labyrinth?
When he used to come to the Lordship Hall, Lekan explored his memories.
"I stepped back into this town for the first time, that was the day. Your son broke into Sheila's house door and tried to tie me up."
"Don't tell me that. I think it was bad. But, yeah. Already then, were you a labyrinth trespasser? There are so many sons, eagles and unknowns, such as treating it that way. Please forgive me."
How dare Lord Voca bow his head. My son bowed his head next door as well. Captain Tesla, standing at the wall, also bowed his head.
Only for a moment, Lekan tasted the thought of drinking down. At that next moment, the alarm of my heart went off.
(Now the biggest power in this town and its successors are bowing their heads to me)
(I almost had the pleasure of victory)
But something's wrong.
(Is this really a victory for me)
(Conversely, isn't it bad by letting these guys bow their heads)
That is not reason, it is intuition.
Intuitively, Lekan felt the kind of crisis that caused these two to bow their heads down, with a rope around their throats.
Rekan, suddenly, bowed his head.
Deeper than the lord and his son, Rekan bowed his head.
"It was to shame the lord and his successors. I'm frightened about it."
"Gee, I can't believe Lecan lowered his head to people"
Edda is surprised next door.
"Oh, no."
The lord seems to be staying too.
"In the future, when Sheila or I have business, I want her to turn to me."
"Don't say that, I want you to allow me to visit Lord Sheila and Lord Nike in the future"
Rekan looked up.
Aguito, the son of the lord, is straightening out Lecan.
Next to it, the lord looks sinister.
"No one will be forbidden to visit Sheila, who lives in this town by you, the heir of the lord. But the common people have a common life, they have rules. I want you to respect that if you can."
Using his head full, Lecan squeezed out this line. But as I talked, I couldn't say I knew exactly what my line meant.
"Absolutely. I will not disturb the lives of Sheila or Nike in the future."
Hearing Agate's words, the lord became an increasingly sinister face.
(You win)
Lekan himself didn't know how to beat what, but he intuitively thought so.
