The person who opened the door did not immediately come into the building.
Instead, it was Labyrinth Affairs Chief Eliza Notts who came in.
"Excuse me."
From behind, the big man crouched at the door as he stood back.
He was an unusual man.
He is taller than Lecan. Slightly thin, but the bones are thick, and the muscles strained to the bones have not lost their tenacity. He wears a leather vest over a well-ventilated shirt. Trousers look sturdy. And I'm hanging a long sword on my hips, but it looks a lot smaller compared to my height.
Old man. Pretty old. But it's full of life.
Above all, the meat is creepy, up to about a third of the mouth in front of the right ear. In that part the teeth are protruding and the cheekbones are exposed.
I noticed a visitor, Nark, came out of the kitchen and stopped his leg.
"What a nostalgia. Zoltan!
"No, it's been a while."
"Ha, ha, ha. I can't grab an uncle like this. Well, don't just stand there..."
So Nark looked at Eliza. I can see from the fact that it is noble. It is also a very high nobility.
Lecan called out to Naak, who had frozen.
"This is Lord Eliza Notts, chief labyrinth secretary. Was it the Marquis' niece?"
"Take, take, take, just, kan? Here, here, here, here."
"You are Lord Lecan."
"Oh."
"I am Zoltan. I came today with your daughter's escort and directions. I was wondering if I could sit your daughter down."
"Oh. I'm sorry I didn't mean to. Sit down, Commander."
"Say Thank You"
As it was, Eliza waited a little, but no one pulled the chair, so she pulled herself and sat down.
"Are the four of you out there not coming in?
"I don't think it's a good idea to push a lot of people. I decided to ask you to wait outside."
"I see. You're not gonna sit down?
"I'll stand. I'll escort your daughter."
"Whatever you want."
Zoltan pointed toward the Nark and toward the kitchen. It's a signal to take your seat off. Nark pulled quietly into the back.
"Lord Rekan, isn't it terrible?"
"Suddenly, my lord commander. Did I do something?
"Old Master Termin says he's going back to King's Capital. Bring your disciples. How the hell did you do that?"
"What does that mean?"
"I told you to stop working at the Tubolt Labyrinth and return to the King's capital."
"I'm not saying that. In the first place, I didn't know that my grandfather was from King's Landing."
"Then why did the old master suddenly say to return to the King's capital?"
"What happened yesterday after I left the Superintendency?
"Old Master Termin asked to see me. Regarding the secret appraisal that Adventurer Rekan received by paying a large gold coin, the witness Guislan broke his pledge and stole the appraisal to report its contents to the Superintendent, who, on the basis of the report, revealed to Adventurer Rekan that he knew the contents of the secret appraisal, not to mention that the witness Guislan acknowledged that he had read the contents of the appraisal. Do you have any clarification on this matter? That's what I asked all of a sudden."
"Wow. What did you say?
"I can't answer because it involves the Marquis' secretary," he replied.
"Heh. Grandpa, did you pull back with that?
"No. I've heard more. Even now, the contents of the secret appraisal have been stolen and reported."
"You stepped in. What did the Commander say to that?"
"I didn't steal it. It's just that I learned what I need to know as a Marquis family. That's what I said."
"You... no, well, fine. So that's it?
"It's not the end! Old Master Termin said this. He wants me and my disciples to leave this town as soon as possible, and the unpaid remuneration will be sent to the King's Capital."
"Wow. That's nasty. But Termin's grandfather thought he was either a Tubolt inhabitant or a minister of the Marquis of Tubolt, but he also had a house in the king's capital."
Are you going to tell me you don't know Old Master Termin or something?
"I found out at the shopping mall here"
"I have trouble being told a joke. Speaking of Old Master Termin, isn't he the highest peak of the kingdom for the appraisal of swords?"
I didn't think you were that close.
But when you think about it, this place is a tubolt. The Labyrinth of the Sword. Probably the place in the kingdom where you get the greatest sword in quantity and quality. Perhaps there is no wonder that the finest appraisers of swords in the kingdom come together.
"I heard. Why are you home? That the promised period is not over. Then the old master answered. The Marquis broke his promise to me. Pledged and trampled. That's why I'm leaving."
(You had a fierce temper, that grandpa.)
"The anger of the Marquis on my uncle, who heard about this, was even more serious. Rub your forehead on the ground, but tell the old master to stay on the tubolt. I visited the old master. Then, the first thing you need to do is apologize to Lord Lekan. That's why I came here."
