Episode 118

I was able to source detailed information about the Senate from the kite.

"They're really fucking ..."

Kite was first ordered to "take over the sword of the martyred knight Volzab as a relic and visit Zaria."

It is customary in Miraraldia to pay higher respect to those who die in a single duel than to the normal war dead.

So if you have a relic sword, you can get it back if you ask.

Collect information as much as you can.

It was such a mission.

But in fact, this was a trap that could have driven him to ruin.

The sword of the werewolf sword is said to be the heirloom of the northern mining city, Klauchen. I borrowed it, and it would be a problem if I couldn't return it.

The elder, who forcibly borrowed the "wolf slash" from Klauchen, was impatient and ordered "regain the wolf slash."

On the other hand, it is not a big deal for other seniors. Rather, if the other elders concede, their voice will increase relatively.

Then, other elders said, "Such a thing is fine, but please investigate in detail what happened in the battle of Zaria."

I guess this is a group that assassinated Zariah.

But here again, the other elders hold their mouths. It is a faction that separates the Demon Army from the Southern Federation and drives away the Devil King to reunite Milardia.

They intervened in HR, preventing the messenger from using diplomats. To make the negotiations fail.

Thinking of the future, he wouldn't have liked to borrow in the Southern Federation with a magic swipe.

If the messenger were killed by the way, it could be publicized as proof of the outrage of the Demon King.

So here comes a somewhat obscure order, saying, "Request the return of the great sword, the witness of Knight Volzab, and gather information on Zalia, but do not use diplomats."

I'm not sure, but it's a formal order from the prestigious Senate.

What was in trouble was the staff working in the Senate.

Negotiations with the enemy require a wealth of contacts, knowledge, and expertise in negotiation skills, but the diplomats cannot use them.

If you can't afford a bargaining expert, send at least a research expert. Sorcerers are also brain workers, so simple negotiations (which are said to be) may help.

And among the magicians in charge of the investigation, the poorest guy in the world was to draw Hazrekji.

It is a kite.

It was his misfortune that he was outstandingly skilled as a magician.

These are guesswork, but the sum of the information that the kite secretly looked up and the information that I gathered from pilgrims and others seemed to be like that.

"The Senate is a very easygoing organization."

I say irony while recommending tea to my kite.

He fell on the table.

"It can't be helped, because the Senate has so much money and power in it."

The systems completed by the ancestors were solid, and their successors seemed to have managed Miraraldia simply by defending them.

However, in a form that imposes a burden on the south.

I heard other interesting stories.

Since there is no television or internet in this world, the Senate has control over information in Milaldia. Announcing it as a Senate decree would make any lie a fact. You can also deceive the truth.

Therefore, they seem to be playing a lot of hoaxes in order to degrade the image of the Demon King Army.

For example, for Lashiy, it looks like this.

"The violent and cunning Lord Vice Black Wolf kidnaps the saint Mildine and engages in unethical and humiliating abuse that cannot be overstated. As a result, the Saint became frenzy and committed suicide. '

Apparently, I'm listed as a jade ball in the Senate's negative campaign. However, I really liked "Black Wolf Lord", so I hope the Southern Federation will adopt it.

Kite glanced at me after telling me about the story behind the Senate.

"Rashii, are you safe?"

"It's obvious. Now, as a disciple of the Demon King Gomoviroa, I'm immersed in my research every day. I'm also terribly advanced in genjutsu."

"How nice……"

After sighing, Kite muttered.

"But when you're with that person, do you sometimes get angry?"

I do not think so?

"By the way, how much did you send your report on Kite and Zalia?"

"The guards of the Zalia guards are so strict that we haven't been able to investigate them. We've confirmed that the reports of the soldiers here are generally correct."

Then nobody should be in trouble.

Then do you work?

"Kite, report that" Wolf Killer "was damaged."

"Is it damaged?"

"Oh. The Demon Army recovered it after the battle, but it was damaged and unusable, and it was disposed of."

This is not to hide my mismanagement.

"This way, the Senate would give up on 'Wolf Slash' and Klaugen would be furious."

"I see, deepen the conflict between the Senate and Klauchen?"

"There is also it."

But, of course, that's not all.

"Can kites pass freely to Klauchen?"

"Well, yeah, I'm an outside researcher. If I get rid of this job, I'll do whatever I can for a business trip to Krauchen."

It's a type of workplace where you can travel on an empty trip. I wonder if accounting is a monkey. A little enviable.

I laugh and tell him.

"I have a request."

"What is Mr. Weid?"

"I'll get you to Klauchen soon."

At that moment, the kite spouted tea.

`` Buffy !? ''

"Dirty !?"

The kite shouts in a hurry, wiping his mouth with his sleeve.

`` What are you thinking about? 120,000 silver coins !? ''

That was the case. I completely forgot.

Even so, despite the 70,000 silver coins, the prize money has increased considerably. Let's be happy that the foil is on.

whatever.

"So I ask you. Even if you're an escort mercenary, take me to Klauchen. I'll ask you to make arrangements."

`` It's the northernmost !?

I took out the malfunctioning "Wolf Slash" and sighed.

"I'm going to get this back.

"That's it !?

I have to apologize for anything that has been destroyed, and I want to bring Klauchen to this side.

It seems difficult to add Klauchen to the Confederation because of its location, but it could be an ally.

And there is one more thing to worry about.

The trader Mao sent to Klauchen is sending a series of interesting information.

For example, a new tunnel is being dug near a salt mining site. The ostensible name is test drilling, but it seems to be different from usual. Access is also restricted.

There was also a lot of suspicious information, such as the fact that Tamori frequently left the city but did not know where to go.

Since traders are not full-time spies, they cannot imitate ninjas.

For example, you can't sneak into the new tunnel and scout inside. Thanks to this, the collection of information is subtly frustrating.

So you should check the situation directly.

There are some excellent investigators here.

The kite crouches, holding its head, although it is a good idea of two birds with one stone or three birds.

"Yabe ... I've been involved in a great thing ... I'm completely squid ..."

You're rude, you.

Along the enemy's territory, the Demon King's cadres visit Tamori directly by himself.

It just sounds cool, as Kite says, but it has a great psychological effect on the other person.

For example, if Klaugen Tamori came to Lünheit alone, I would definitely be interested.

I pressed the kite holding my head to make a decision.

"Kite. Decide whether to accept or reject."

When I said, the kite sighed and looked up. And grin grin.

"Good, I'll do whatever he wants."

"That's fine"

The problem is how and when to get out of the way ...
