Upon receipt of a request from Ottoman, I took my Alliance members for the Guildbird realm.
Gilbert Territory is southwest of the capital [Thread], a three-day journey by carriage.
The carriage asked the carriage dealer for a carriage with a lord.
The cost is expensive, but it is better to ask the carriage dealer to use it occasionally because it does not have to be transported by a carriage dealer and there is no need to maintain the carriage.
Destination Gilbert Territory is full of mountains and forests.
The Count of Gilbert is also in a hurry because one of the main industries in the Count of Gilbert's territory is agriculture and mining, which has caused problems this time.
Ottoman said he'd leave for the city with the mines immediately after he met us.
"The Count. I've never met a nobleman, so what should I do? I don't know any manners."
"I'm a little anxious, just like Dan."
Dan and Leon expressed anxiety that they had never met anyone in a position before.
"Certainly, manners can be tough on both young people. So you should leave the greeting to the Count to the master of the delegate and Alice, who is used to the venue. If we keep silent behind the master, we're done."
"Phew ~ If you just keep your mouth shut, you can relax."
"Yeah, then maybe I shouldn't be nervous either."
After they showed relief, they turned to high tension.
"It's fine this time, but you'll always have time to talk to nobles and people in positions ahead, so remember that."
Wow.
"Yeah."
They were responding at a breathtaking time.
Even at this time, cooperation between the two is perfect.
"Alice, I'm sorry to say that you joined the Alliance so early... but you really wanted to dive into the dungeon, right?
"Yeah, it's totally fine. As Lindbergh says, I've met a lot of nobles, so I'm used to it."
"I'm relieved to hear that. Actually, I'm not too good at tough places either. Adventurers were always the only ones called here, and I was often not called by Porter. That's why it might bother you."
"Leave it to me, I'll follow you well then."
"I'm counting on you"
Ehehehe
Alice had a satisfying look on her face.
◇ ◇ ◇
The one-way three-day journey of the carriage, which I expected to have time to spare, did not run out of topics unexpectedly, and I was able to have fun at all times.
Talk about formation and collaboration in the dungeon. I was just excited to share the information that I, Lindbergh, and Alice had about each other, such as how to use items and stories.
After such a relaxing time, we quickly arrive in Gilbert territory, our destination.
It seems that Count Gilbard's mansion is at the northernmost end of the largest city, so I decided to head there at once.
The town with the Count was only the biggest in Count Gilbard's territory, and there were certainly many lively streets.
"What a big city. I've never actually been to this city before."
"That's right. I've been here a few times at work. But I was busy at the time, and when I was finished, I left without seeing the city."
Well, if it's all right after the request, can we all go sightseeing?
Everyone who listened to my casual suggestion took advantage of the unexpected.
"I did it. Let's buy them a souvenir and go home."
"I'd like to buy something for my mom and brother to go home to."
"I would like to try local specialties."
After the young couple were delighted, Lindbergh usually began to appeal to the taste of the meal.
If everyone is excited, let's have a dinner party that also launches.
After a while, he reached the front of a large mansion surrounded by high walls.
There were gatekeepers, so when I called out, it was definitely Earl Gilbard's mansion.
When I tell them the requirements, one of the gatemen enters the Mansion for confirmation.
The remaining gate guards were watching to make sure we didn't make any strange moves in front of the big gates that were closed.
"Apparently, these adventurers were arranged by Count Gilbard. Let him through right now."
The Earl of Gilbard has confirmed that we will enter the grounds with dignity through the large open main gate.
Immediately after entering the premises, an elderly man was in a good position.
"I will guide you to the Mansion. Follow me."
That said, the man crossed the horse and started moving slowly in a way that led the carriage.
There was a large white building in the center of the site, and beautiful flowers were blooming around the building.
Alice, you look beautiful.
"Yeah, I've never seen such a beautiful flower field before."
The women were talking about each other's feelings about the flower fields.
When I look at the flower fields, I notice a girl sitting near the center of the flower fields.
Blonde hair stretched to the shoulders is swayed by the refreshing wind.
The girl's expression looked dazzling.
But now that it is my top priority to greet Count Gilbard, I have regained consciousness of the Mansion.
At that time, you can see multiple lines of sight from inside the building.
Apparently we were under surveillance, and members other than me were aware of that.
When you arrive in front of the Mansion, the door of the Mansion automatically opens just as the elderly man approaches the door.
Nearly a dozen maids lined up before the opening.
We move on as the maids bow.
He was guided through several rooms in front of a luxurious guest room.
When I knock on the door, I hear a voice saying, "Come in."
When I left the door open, a middle-aged man stood staring at us in a simple but well-stocked room.
The dress and the manner in which he stood convinced me that he was definitely Count Gilbard.
We'll be guided to the sofa set up by the old man.
Count Gilbard sat next to us.
Thank you for coming.
That was Count Gilbard's first voice.
Count Gilbard is a tough looking man with blonde hair tied together behind his head and looks a little older than me.
Speaking for the first time, it looks like someone who's straight and doesn't lie.
For now, I don't know who the Count Gilbard is, but my first impression is not bad.
"Count Gilbard, I see you for the first time. We call it" Oratrio. "My name is Alliance Master Label. This time, I was asked by General Manager Ottoman to provide security."
"Yeah, I've been looking forward to seeing you guys. These are the adventurers the Ottomans sent me. I trust you. I know you're listening, but I don't have much time. Can we move on to security now?
"Of course. I'll do my best."
"Well, I'd rather have someone who's always on guard duty explain it than explain it to me. That's faster. Zax, come on in."
"Excuse me, Mr. Gilbard."
A different door opened than the one we came in, and an adventurer came in with his head down.
Everyone looks at the adventurer.
The head of the skinhead is characterized by warrior gear and forged flesh.
"Zax, let me introduce you to the [Oratrio] people from the Adventurers Association of [Thread]. I will leave it to them to guard the Mansion this time. I need you to explain to me how to protect me, how to take precautions."
"I see. But is it really okay?
Xax called out to Count Gilbard with a nasty look on his face.
"Is there a problem with them?
"No, that's a problem, but I've been watching you since before you entered the Mansion, and I was wondering if you could explain your request to the Porter, who is not an adventurer, because the man you were talking to was equipped with the backpack that the Porter was carrying...."
That's what Zax said looking down at me.
Dan and Leon reacted a little, but soon it was gone.
I was always complaining aggressively.
I was glad they were both getting older.
"I think I'll be fine. These are the adventurers recommended by Ottoman, who have been appointed head of the Adventurers Association in [Thread]. I'm proud of the depth of my relationship with him. He can't send a powerless adventurer."
"If Master Gilbard has said so."
Zax has been reviewing me like he said he was reluctant.
"I do look like a porter, but don't worry, I'm still a Class B adventurer."
That being said, I'll show you the B Class Adventurer card.
"We're all more than Class B adventurers, and one of us has a higher rank. Still don't trust me?
You don't have to be polite about all of the Alliance's information.
I only presented my card, and then I tried to say that.
"Shit, I get it. But don't try to be great in class B. I'm a class A!
Saying that, Zax showed me his Adventurer Card.
Certainly Zax's card was an A-Class Adventurer's card, but we all had the same impression of Zax.
