"But Bandit extermination? The size of the opponent is the same, but the question is whether or not we can find the bandits."
"Yes, Elvis. So first, we meet the victims of the recent banditry. If you don't listen, you won't know."
"That's right. Soon, Lord Bayden will bring the merchant who is the victim. Let the mercenaries be prepared to move at any time."
"Yes, thank you."
Sit back and wait in the Baden Mansion.
Elvis left the room ready to go looking for him at any time.
We'll do what we can in the meantime.
While showing the people in the Mansion the maps of the surrounding area, listening to some of the places where the bandits were likely to become roots, the door was slammed from outside the room.
Looks like the merchant has arrived.
I'll have him come in and listen to me.
"Hey, wait a minute. It's been a long time, Sula-san."
"Oh, was it you who was the merchant who suffered the damage? It was a disaster."
"Oh, my God. I had an escort, too, but I got hit in no time. It was a miracle I came home alive."
The person who entered the room suddenly started talking to Sula.
Do you know Sula?
"Who? Who do you know, Sula?
"Yeah, I didn't think this kid was a thief. Occasionally, Christina, a merchant, comes to variants. The merchant who comes to the foot of the spiritual peak is precious, and this child is going out with everyone separately. I'm glad she's safe."
I mean, Sula-san. Who's the boy? You're a pretty little girl. "
"Nice to meet you. My name is Alphonse Barca. I'm the leader of this Balkan mercenary regiment."
"Yes? Are you the commander? Wasn't Barca the name of the castle owner in the sky? Could it be someone involved?
"That's right. That castle belongs to my parents. Greetings, Christina."
The merchant who came into the room was a woman.
That's pretty young, too.
Is it because I usually travel around as a merchant?
She was a beautiful healthy woman with wheat skin.
Nevertheless, I feel that there is a lot of skin exposure.
Her chest is also wide open and she wears short pants, so her pretty slanted legs gather the eyes of the men around her in one hand.
Some kind of common-law woman who doesn't seem to be in the House of Lords, but seems like a good person.
"Thank you for being safe. Ah, maybe you can use magic?
"Yeah, that's right. Very well, little commander. I ran away desperately for Physical strengthening . I was scared."
"Wow, there's someone else who can use the magic that's spreading in variants."
Ehehe. In fact, it was Sula who gave me magic. A merchant who goes out everywhere and says that a woman is dangerous. I was given a [name] a few years ago. "
Yes, it is.
It's a pretty widespread name in variants, but there must have been talk of unexpectedly poor spread.
Those who live at the foot of the spiritual peak basically live in a closed society.
That's why I heard that even though more people were supposed to be able to name others and use magic, it still didn't spread.
That's why Brother Ars named Banaj in Orient so that the magic circle could spread even further.
However, there were others who could use magic besides the variant residents.
Healthy and beautiful, Christina managed to survive using her magic.
"You said the guard got hit in no time, didn't you? Did you destroy them all?
"Yeah, some of them got away with me. But a lot of guards have been sacrificed. I was worried about what I was going to do because I ran out of goods and luggage and didn't have an escort."
"Hmm. So there's no clue to the bandits? Anything."
"That said, I was desperate to escape. The place where the bandits appear is quite different. Mr. Baden says he doesn't know where he's based, and I don't have a clue."
"You don't have to know where you are anyway. That's right... for example, it would be helpful if there were something that belonged to the bandits or smelly."
"Smell? Oh, wait a minute. So what do you think of this? This sword. There was a bandit approaching me, so I cut him. There must have been blood on it, so maybe the smell of blood still remains."
"Ah, that's nice. That's what I wanted. With that, we might find out where the bandits are."
"Really, Mr. Alphonse? Oh, I'm sorry. I called you."
"Fine. You can call me that, Christina."
"Fufufu, okay. Well then, let's ask a trusted mercenary. Please find the bandit. The merchant's bill of lading was really a big mistake to give up the merchandise they took. I just want it back."
"Roger that, Mr Baden is supposed to pay you as well. Leave it to me, Christina."
That being said, I receive a sword with blood that says I cut a bandit.
... good.
Apparently, I just wiped it off with a cloth and didn't wash it.
Oh, I told you, the smell would not be clean at all if I [washed] it.
If that were the case, it would have been impossible to find a bandit with this sword as a clue.
But this sword still smells of blood.
I decided to follow that smell and go after the bandits.
