In response to reports of his captivity, he asked the soldiers to deactivate the standby order and wait for Sister Fell to return.

And I did every favor to some of my men.

Those who asked for it looked a little frightened but still reluctantly obeyed me when I asked for it.

Well, which one will come back first?

With that in mind, as I waited while working in the office, it was my men who came back first.

"Lord, I've brought you what you asked for"

That's what my men said, and what I brought to the office was a big bottle.

I took the lid from the bottle and looked inside.

"Yeah. That's good"

"Lord, what's this?

"It's the water from the Qinghai."

When I said that, Mr. Raymond stunned and withdrew.

"Here, here, this is that cursed lake ⁉"

Is that so surprising?

Oh, well.

With that said, I didn't tell Mr. Raymond yet.

"Calm down. The investigation revealed that" Qinghai "is Salt Lake."

"Salt Lake? Are you talking about a lake made of moist water about the same size as the water in the ocean?"

"Exactly"

But I've never heard of a man who died drinking salt water.

"Perhaps, but there are things in this' fresh sea 'water that are invisible but make you ill if you put them in your body. Filter and simmer, and you can salt and smell."

"Is it salt and garlic? You brought it back yesterday. I only knew the name, but I didn't know you could do it with that water."

"Quickly, but stay in the funnel in the order of pebbles, sand, charcoal and cloth, place the bottle under the barrel, and put this water in the funnel. And now simmer the water flowing out into the pan to make salt and sores."

"Ha, I'm in awe"

Mr. Raymond grabbed the bottle and headed to the kitchen.

After a little while, I said that the garlic and salt had been made, so I put the salt where the sun would shine and dried it, and ordered the chef to make the tofu if the garlic.

I still had the beans that I simmered at this morning's meal, but I couldn't make tofu because I didn't have any stinging.

It was just fine because someone was also going to let me go to the 'Qinghai' at noon to get some water.

As I waited for Tofu to be ready, I received a report that Sister Fell would be back in the city in a few moments.

Convenient. Let's show them tofu and salt and negotiate with the Isimeons.

I let Mr. Raymond pick me up, and I was working in the office with Sophie, and it was noisy outside.

Hmm. Sister Fell is back.

I stopped working and left the room. [M]

Sister Fell returned with her men as she left the Lords' Hall and waited at the front door.

From what I've seen, I don't think I'm hurt anywhere. Good.

Sister Fell came to me when she got off the riding warcraft.

"Welcome home, Muggy."

"I'm home, uh-oh."

Come to me and hold me tight. [M]

It feels good and nice to be able to bury her face in that big chest, but Tina's gaze is so tight from behind something. Why is that?

"Kohon. Lord, Master Fell, what about the men who caught you?

Mr. Raymond distracted me, or he talked to me.

I ride it and get away from Sister Fell.

"Right. Just bring them all to the courtyard."

"I'm in awe"

Mr. Raymond graciously left the scene.

"Well, let's go to the courtyard."

"Okay."

We went to the courtyard first.

When we got to the courtyard, Sophie and Shallu were here first and had a chair for two.

"When?"

"First of all, I thought we were going to have an interrogation here, so I was getting ready first"

"Well, that helps."

When they labored, they bowed their heads.

Me and Sister Fell sat in a chair and Tina and Sophie instructed me to go behind me and Shalu to go to the kitchen and bring the tofu and the water and salt of the 'Qinghai', which I had not yet boiled.

And as they waited, they brought the Isimeons, whom Sister Fell's men bound with rope, after Mr. Raymond.

"Lord, I brought you here as you ordered."

"Uhm. Let him sit first"

When I said so, Sister Fell's men sat down the men of the Isimeons.

Some of them were rebellious and struggled to make them sit down.

Finally, when they all sat down, I opened my mouth first.

"Are you twelve Isimeons?

And it came to pass, when he asked, that the most conspicuous of the Isimeons sitting answered.

"Exactly"

"Hmm. You, what's your name?

"I am Khaliudon, the son of the chief of the Isimeons."

"I am Lewie, the lord who was appointed to this' Owe '."

When I named them, the Isimeons were noisy.

To see this reaction, you don't seem to know that I've become a lord.

"This territory is ruled by the demonic kingdom. They're raiding it, so you can't complain about taking your life."

With that said, the men of the Isimeons looked like they were ready.

"Kill me if you want to. But let me just say this. Killing us won't stop our tribe from raiding. Our twelve families will continue to raid until they become one of the last!

Kalyudon says with a strained chest.

Hmm, this man. Seems to have quite a liver.

"That said, depending on the story, I don't consider a lot of things"

And when I said so, the men of the Isimeons were bewildered.

Well, this is where the negotiations start.
