The lord dampened his mouth with tea before continuing his words.
"Could you please visit Lord Golbull? And I wonder if you could show me that dagger."
Rekan was a little upset. And then I realized I was upset and tried to contain that emotion. Lords are not making unreasonable demands. Lords have a position of lord, and from that point of view, there's no way they don't do this kind of interview. Yes, I told myself.
"Is there any guarantee that Lord Golbull will not take this dagger from me?"
The lord's son looked annoyed. Something in Lecan's words seems to have bothered me.
But just as the lord answered Lecan's question without changing his expression.
"A washi sends a messenger to the Earl of Golbull. Adventurer Rekan, the owner of the dagger, explains his unwillingness to let go of the dagger and that in time, he understood that he would make the dagger appear to the Earl of Gorbull."
That's not enough, Lecan thought. So I devised to put the thought into words.
"I guess if you told him that and he tried to get this dagger forcefully, he'd crush your face. But Count Golbull might choose to get this dagger over crushing your face. Can I help you not to do that?"
"It's... if you do that, you'll lose your honor as a nobleman. But I see you can't guarantee me that Count Golbull won't choose that path."
The lord closed his eyes and turned his mind.
"If the Earl of Gorbull vows not to offer to buy or give up a dagger, the Adventurer Lekan can tell the Messenger that he will visit to see the dagger"
"Wouldn't it hurt your decency to make other lords swear that way?"
"You're absolutely right. If you talk like that, it means you're a disrespectful person. But if you don't say hello to the Earl of Golbull and don't show me your dagger, I don't want to convince you as Earl of Golbull."
"For you, it's your chance to improve your relationship with the Golbull Territory, but you've behaved disrespectfully, and the ambition for you will disappear"
"This... surprised you. I didn't know you cared about that."
"You don't have to make promises like that. However, if the Earl of Golbull tries to take this dagger away, the Earl of Golbull will kill it. Kill anyone who tries to get in my way. Also, I'll get your neck. I just hope you know that."
The lord's son and captain Tesla froze, stunned in the face.
The lord put his strength into his eyes, but there was no hostility there.
"I see. You are an adventurer exploring the depths of the labyrinth. I just found out about it. I guess you have the power to make it happen."
"I don't know that. I am an adventurer until the last moment when my life runs out, and I fight those who seek to deprive me of my freedom until I die. That's all."
"Right. The way we live is too different from the world we live in. But strangely, now I think I'm proud of you."
"If it's the Lord's job to protect the Lord and the people, you have to protect too many things. I find it hard to get tied to something. I don't have the courage to be responsible like you."
"Ha. Are you snubbing me? No, maybe you complimented me? You're surprisingly delightful."
The lord carried the tea into his mouth.
"I want Lecan to get the Gold Adventurer certification ceremony tomorrow as well. And as a golden adventurer in my town, I want you to visit Count Golbull as soon as possible"
"Certification ceremony?
"That's right. In the Adventurers' Association, in the presence of the Lord's name and the Acting Temple Chief, the Adventurers' Association President will receive the Adventurers' Chapter"
"Roger that. But I'm not changing my mind to make you look like a golden adventurer."
"Of course you will. As for me, I just hope that my meeting with the Earl of Gorbull will end peacefully and safely. Being a gold-class adventurer in this town would have somewhat of a disincentive effect. And if this is successfully done, the fact remains that the gold-class adventurer in my town has broken through the Golbull Labyrinth twice. It's a big strength for me."
"To the Adventurers Association, should I go tomorrow?
"Let me say tomorrow afternoon."
"Okay."
"Tomorrow morning, Washi will send the messenger out to Golbull. I'm going back and forth with my horse, so by the end of tomorrow, consider yourself talking to the Earl of Gorbull. When will you go to Golbull?
"Well, let's go the day after tomorrow"
"Oh dear. Adventurer Eda. As for you, I would recommend Captain Ritton to the Golden Adventurer as soon as he returns to this town. Will you take it?"
"Lecan. What do I do?
"Take it."
"Yeah. Lord. I'll take it."
"Uhm."
Now we're done talking.
You should be able to go home by now.
But at this time, Lekan felt that he could talk to this lord about his belly being broken. It will be a bet, but if successful, we can ensure a certain degree of safety in this town of Eda.
"You, Lord Voca, will know the noise in the temple and the noise in the Goncourt mansion"
