"... that word, isn't it true?
"They want you to tell them what you intend. But whether you really have a chance to talk depends on the situation in the field, so maybe it's not a must as a client. Maybe the client hasn't really thought deeply about what it means to add conditions, but this is a lewd thing for the hunting side. Even if I fail, I'm sorry enough, and even after the hunt, why don't I just tell him, 'I didn't hear that condition'?
Most of all, that's a hell of a thing to look bad for, and worst of all, if you undermine it by tonight, you could ask that person to take it down. If you do, you can just pay up front and say goodbye, so it's delicious, but since then, it's a failure. "
"You don't have to tell me, I know!
Number three, frustrated, followed the scene. There is no longer a moment of respite. Lure your opponent to a somewhat easier place to stay, if you don't do something about it. Number three, I've never failed a request before. I've always cleaned up my requests perfectly with my natural ability.
That's why I've never encountered a scene in a hurry. I saw number three leaving the scene early and didn't even notice that Fondaine was hanging up the edge of her mouth behind her.
"Fostina, can I ask you about the ruler of Tarram?"
"I'm sorry, Letore. I didn't grasp any definite evidence. I can estimate it instead, so I'll talk to you if that's okay."
"Let's hear it."
Fostina and Letore were independently chasing one of Tarram's rulers. It is said that there is nothing that cannot be found in Fostina, the brave man who makes exploration his business. Fostina was certified as a brave man for exploration of all historical sites, traces of a species that should have perished, relics of the war period, etc. Fostina was single-handedly recognized for her great contribution to human history and was certified as a brave man.
"Let's start with the conclusion. The ruler of Tarram is certain."
"The rationale is"
"Cities are protected by all sorcery in the first place, but Tarlam has an abnormal number of them. This is said to be because, apart from the operating side defending the city, various forces exercised witchcraft at will, many of which were detectively inhibited. The city is told like an abomination not to look for lost items, and it is also treated like an aberration to put such requests on the guild. Did you know?
"Oh, because trafficking in human beings is legalized here in part. It's worse to be gone, but they even tell me to do something about it myself because if I have to, I can fix it with gold."
"Exactly. So I assumed detection inhibition was something that those guys in the loop put up. But the magic tricks are strangely advanced."
"Altitude?"
"Yes, it outweighs the realm of skilled magicians. It's like someone directly from the Magic Church, or more."
To Fostina's opinion, Letore roared.
"But given the existential significance of this city, isn't it okay for such a person to live in hiding? It can also be assumed that he did such sorcery to avoid being chased."
"Of course, unless the magic has been done for hundreds of years"
Letore looked out for Fostina's opinion. Fostina went on looking slightly excited.
"I can use magic to read memories of living in that place. Using that magic, we proceeded with our exploration from an old part of Tarram. You know what? The first place Tarram developed was in the 4th Street, the most insecure place in the world."
"I didn't know that."
"And I used magic in the oldest building in Tarram, supposedly. That in itself just read memories of no other love, but then I went to the 4th Street Hall and glanced at the various records. Then I found it interesting.
In Tarram, he was actively raising painters to value beauty. For this reason, he portrayed a large number of people who worked for the bureau at the time, as well as important people in the city, other than the townspeople. As I looked at them, I found that people who I thought looked exactly the same as the people I read were real for over a hundred years. "
"... So you think the person is the ruler?
"I don't know that far. But if the person is still alive, I think he might be close to it. He's someone I've seen, too. You might even know that."
"Me too? I wonder if there was such a person."
"Does this name sound familiar?
Fostina cautioned and moved on from there in her brush talk. Fostina's written down name certainly reminded me of Letore too.
"- Oh, if that person does know me, too. But really?
"It will be worth asking. And, you know, it's natural, right? That is most likely given the composition of this taram. Everyone is going to notice, and then everyone can't be sure. I think it's a good idea.
That's my reasoning, is that helpful?
"Oh, it helped. I'll report to the captain softly."
"So can I get a reward?
"One more thing before that, about Experion. I want you to hear from me."
Experion was originally chased by Fostina. It was Letore who interrupted the request. He had responsibilities and responsibilities.
