The Branded Female Fencer

"I see... are there such people"

The line was roaring in arms. This is where Alphilis has just finished talking about everything he's been up to with Oranzeble. The presence of those who are called black magicians. The opponent is a very strong line of enemies, starting with the hero king. And its aim is still unclear, that it is in a state of truce with the refuge of True Dragon. The Alphilis are working with Arnelianism to find a way to counter them. And Alphilis set up a mercenary regiment in Arnelia to defend himself and create a means against them at the same time. I told the line about the situation. There are no groups of newcomers around, they are all just fellow alphilis the ancient ones who know the circumstances.

After some roaring, Rhine speaks to Alphilis with unprecedented seriousness.

"I'd like to check with Alphilis."

"Fine."

"In the Alphilis, are you going to fight them? I'd like to hear about any specific maneuvers or policies."

"No, I have a few thoughts on that."

Alphilis responds instantly. Attention was drawn to the words. None of Alpha Reese's people heard exactly what she was going to do.

Alphilis starts talking in everyone's attention.

"In my calculations, I don't think it's possible to take them all down. If we gather the power of the whole world together. Or, I mean, I don't have that power. I'm not expecting another convenient story like that."

"Oh, I think so, too. So what do we do?

"Can't we talk to each other? Or you can persuade me."

Everyone was annoyed by Alphilis' suggestion. Yes, nothing honestly needs to be fought against all opponents. That was what Alphilis was worried about.

"Do you have any idea?

"No, not yet on that point. But Gwendorf is looking into the situation. It could depend on his investigation."

"When will the investigation be completed?

"Once I showed my face around spring, I heard from you."

In fact, Alphilis interacts regularly with Gwendorf. They come in many shapes, but they can be contacted via Maia and Lakia. Alphilis also has the means to contact you directly if you are interested in doing so. Instead, if I can't get in touch directly, I will have trouble as an alpha leash.

But Rhine seemed to believe the words of Alphilis.

"Fine then. If you have any idea who they are. If there's a breakthrough, things move forward."

"Do you believe me?

"You can't help lying to me here, can you? Besides, if you're a liar here, it means I didn't have eyes."

The line said without any concern, but it is really hard to trust people. As a matter of fact, the only reason I trust Alphilis is because of my own account. This is unusual for the cautious line, but the reason he liked Alphilis was because he could always believe that there were no lies in her eyes.

At first I thought it was just a dangerous favorite, but she has the thought of making ruthless decisions for her precious things, but at the same time wonders if everyone will be safe. There are a lot of people with heads turning. People who are just calm again, people who are just ruthless. But Rhine thought it was very rare for people like Alphilis to have them all together. In that sense, Rhine came to watch secretly that she was a difficult person.

It is no coincidence that Alphilis did some work with Rhine. It's no coincidence that she didn't see too many dangerous eyes again. It was all set up by the line. Rhine had arranged for Alphilis to defend himself from a time when it was suspicious if his name and face would match.

"Okay, I've made up my mind! I'll join your mercenary regiment."

"Oh, is that okay!?

Alphilis squeezed my eyes out. Because I thought the line was the right character in her and she was somewhat of a coward. I didn't expect him to fight because he was asked so much about it.

"Why...?

"No, I didn't think they were the ones who sucked like that. Then the firepowder will eventually descend even if you leave it alone. Then you want to be in the vortex from the start and cut off the firepowder. Can't you?"

"Yeah, that's not true. Because my attitude is too different."

"Well, I guess so"

Rhine sighed softly. Because the attitude was so grown up, the Alphilis was a little overwhelmed.

But for a moment, too. Alphilis seems to be the head of the mercenary regiment and keeps asking him questions.

"Nor do I dispute that you belong to my mercenary regiment. But I need to ask you something. May I ask who you are from?

"No, I want you to give him a break. Admittedly, I was a former knight, but I'm an inquisitor in the country. You should stop working under your real name. I want you to think this mustache and hair is disguised too."

"I see. Then I won't ask for details. But I'm going to see Miriazal in person tomorrow, so get some done. Otherwise, you'll just eat the front door."

"Is it that bad?

"Oh, it's awful"

The dance slave hammered the gavel. The line begins with an instant answer.

"Shisha. I'll figure it out by tomorrow morning."

"Nice to meet you. Besides, it's what I came here for, but what exactly are you here to find out? You didn't come vaguely, did you?

"Oh. Specifically, I'm here to check out the flow of weapons"

"Weapons"

To the words, Alphilis opened his eyes as if he had made a new discovery.

"I see you had that point of view"

"That's... I didn't really even think about Lisa,"

"That's the thing. There are a lot of suspicions about the flow."

"Explain it to me so I can see it."

Aerial couldn't keep up with the story and asked the Alphilis and the others questions. Alphilis explains to her as he tells her.

"Okay, Aerie? We humans need weapons and protective equipment when we fight. You're not just a bunch of people, like Airlie, who procure weapons in front of themselves."

"I understand that, too. Ever since I was in the prairie, I've asked merchants for what I needed. Is that it?"

"That's what bothered me when I created the mercenary corps. Good thing Jessia just showed up with the boat this time around, but I usually negotiate with an arms dealer myself. Normally, you can't negotiate directly with a guild, so it'll only cost you a few minutes to go through a retail store along the way."

"Wait, Alphilis. Who's Jessia?

The line blocked Alphilis' explanation and stopped. Alfilly will now explain it to the line.

"Jessia is the merchant guild of the beasts, the merchant of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce. I asked Lisa to look into her origins, so I'm sure. I'm asking Renatica to identify herself."

"I saw a lot of people manipulated by insects in the middle of the field. Is that not possible?

"No problem. I've seen many bugs, but I can tell that kind of thing. If there's a problem, I'm killing you."

Renatica answered just fine, so the line sat deep in the chair, even a little relieved.

"If you have the means to confirm it, that's fine. If you know how to tell, you can tell me next time."

"Fine."

"... you keep talking. So the best way to procure a weapon is to have a production plant or something, and eventually I want to get that far too, but it's the quickest way to procure it now."

"I see, that's it. How does that relate to the story of the line?

Alphilis and Rhine face to face. Apparently, it was the same thing you thought about.

"Aerie, how do you think Arnelia Church is purchasing weapons?

"Aren't you asking the guild?

"Arnelianism is too big for that. It's only natural to assume that we have our own production plants if we become such a group. I don't know where it is."

"I agree. More importantly, I have the star on, but I have never confirmed it. Again, this is my imagination, but the Arnelian Church thinks it's mostly bullshit about the distribution of weapons on this continent."

"Yes!?

Alphilis gave a burgeoning voice to Rhine's remarks. I didn't even envisage an alpha leash until then.

"Whatever it takes, it's huge."

"Really? There are many chambers of commerce that deal with weapons, but they've barely ever been able to rub them before. It's like someone's got a footprint. Normally, you can rub your interests and profits together, right? So they seem like separate people at first sight, but it's actually more reasonable to think of them as one group. It is assumed that the Alkyd Chamber of Commerce of Ancient Ginseng began 400 years ago to divide the distribution of weapons. Just at the same time as the establishment of Arnelianism, and even before that, the Arnelian Church had a record of coordinating the distribution of weapons immediately. If you think about them in combination, it's not a possibility at all."

"... you know more about it, you. Lisa doesn't know that much either."

Lisa looked a little hard to regret. I guess I felt like they took my share. Though I didn't pay much attention to the line.

"There's such a thing as information that doesn't flow all over town. Besides, you don't have information that your kids can't get."

"So you're trying to find out about Arnelianism?

"That's right. Maybe it was Arnelianism that sent weapons to Hekatonkail. Arnelianism did not actually come to arbitration during the riots in Krums. Usually it seems like it would be nice to move to arbitration. So I suspected Arnelianism was leading the rebellion."

"I see. That's a tough talk."

Alphilis was also convinced by Rhine's theory. But on top of that, she talks.

"But I don't think I'm Arnelian."

"You think?

"Take a look. And Miriazal's character, I guess."

I see. I don't know that.

Rhine was also convinced by the words of Alphilis again.

"So you're trying to hook me up with Miriazal?

"Yeah, and your information should be beneficial to Miriazal. It shouldn't be a bad thing to see her."

"... right. I'd like to see the Knights of the Temple once and for all. Not a bad idea. Nevertheless, it's a big deal to be able to communicate directly with the Supreme Bishop of the Arnelian Church. Most of us have never even met kings or delegates."

"Well, I'm on edge."

Alphilis winked with a little tea glare, but the line nodded seriously again and seemed convinced.

"Then it's all tomorrow."

"Right. It's late at night, so let's go to bed. Tomorrow morning, but I'm leaving for Miriazal. Ekla, please reconcile your work and your visit."

"Yes, I myself am supposed to meet with the person in charge of the Miriazal administration to borrow the funds. You should come with me. And Miriazal himself says he's not going to be out of Arnelia for a while."

"Speaking of which, you're generally a Virgin, aren't you? She is."

"What kind of woman are you?

To the question of the line, Alphilis laughs furiously.

"You'll see. Because he's an interesting person."

"Interesting, huh? More than you?

"What's so funny about me?"

"" "All" "

Not only the line, but the people around him said the same words simultaneously. Alphilis stomped the estate on the words, but Aerial and Rana beat him to it, and the occasion was dissolved.

And on leaving, Rhine passes one letter to Alphilis.
