The Branded Female Fencer
War and Peace, Part 653 - Day 11 of the Continental Peace Conference (4) -
"Well, when I think about it, it doesn't make sense.Having enough power to defeat two beast generals together, it doesn't name them at the same time, it just lives in secrecy.What the hell did you want to do while facing up to the battle between the Beast and the Barbarians on the Southern Front?I can't think of a figure like that.I thought there was a lack of understanding of the human race, but if the wind of the sword were someone who lived in the human world, I thought so. "
"I see. But we just need a reason to get rid of our employer and two Beast Generals.You're not Armus, but you're smart, and if you get even more money, you can do so many dangerous missions.Do you think of all the opponents, Banessa?
"I don't know, I'm just a token and it's Whisper's job to think.But the Beast is also in trouble.The Southern Front has been around for over a hundred years, right?
"It's sporadic, but there's been a lot of skirmishes.There are times when we settle with the barbarians, destroy them, or when there are mass outbreaks of monsters. "
"Looks like Alexandria. You've been fighting tribes around here for over 200 years.Otherwise, the eastern part of the continent is divided into Romansland and Alexandria and Grosard.Armas is desperately supplying weapons mainly to the west, and the assassination is contracted to the east. "
Air Real and Cerio opened their eyes to the words at the same time.Banessa's expression is crunchy.
"Nah, what is it?Was I wrong?No, can you keep it a secret?
"No, it's not... is Alexandria's story true?
"Oh, you don't know?Not famous, Alexandria needs the continent's most powerful Knights before entering another country.Arnelia doesn't mediate, and Alexandria's manners aren't good.Every time we try to wage a war of territorial expansion, there is a lot of monsters and barbarians on the border, and there is no leeway for the war... Alexandria is rich in land and soldiers are strong.And it's been one of the oldest countries since humans began to defy monsters.Don't you think it's stranger to be in Ashinaga territory?
"... so much information doesn't flow to Grooszard.There are spies and stray beasts everywhere, but they're not in Alexandria. "
"Oh, is that so?I knew... "
"... I asked Alphilis."
Air Real opened a new bottle and broke into it.Someday I'll have another strong drink at hand.It was time for Cerio and Banessa, who were close to their limit, to catch their expression.
"There are also many monsters in and around Romansland.The reason we have such a standing army is that it is more stable to set up a standing army to secure stable labor and fight monsters.Perhaps Romansland is characterized by a lack of engagement with the Alliance. "
Who's the source?
"The royal family of Romansland and Alfilis are close.Very credible. "
"Really?"
"That's true.I work in an Alliance tavern, so in and around Romansland, there's almost no waste, no demand from residents, and there's no limit to a small-scale beast crusade.There aren't many facilities in Arnelia, so the plague is around. "
"Does that mean..."
"It's not Armus.If so, it must be related to the black magician.And if you become a country with a sword wind and bad signs... "
"Deal's Shane Sereno"
All three voices were heard.But instead of laughing, the three of them turned into mysterious faces.
"... I hear you're in the lead at the meeting.Is this woman working for a black magician?
How far are they going to go?
"No, nobody noticed?
"No, I think King Dryan is aware of it... but I think it's suspicious.I can't do this, I'll make a report right away. "
"Well, calm down, it's all reasoning.Rather, it's a miracle that the three of us met here in a way.There may be things that have not yet been discussed at the field level.After all, the meeting won't work until three days later.Why don't we talk about this a lot?
Air Real placed a stronger liquor on the table, so Cerio and Banessa's face suddenly caught on.Air Real smiles at it.
"What's the matter, you can't drink anymore?
"Lies... they're so strong."
"Why are humans more resistant to alcohol than beasts... or you'll burn!
"I'm not kidding!Shinouke!
"Whoa, what's the best thing about Armus?
"Armus has nothing to do with this!
"So you think Banessa, the bouncer, would turn down the liquor offer?
"Gu, where it hurts... ahh, okay!I'm gonna hang out with you, damn it!
"That's the spirit."
Afterwards, the banquet continued until the dawn, and when the two were about to fall off, Aerial weakened the wind boundary, attracted the attention of the surroundings, and stirred them from the surroundings to drink.Then I took out a lot of information from the two of them, paid them on the spot, and went home.Naturally, Aerial paid for all the liquor of the surrounding customers, and I kept quiet about what happened on the spot.
"(Hmm, I didn't have any use for the money I made, but I can use it this way.I didn't know the Spirit of the Wind had this kind of use.Combined with Lisa's abilities, she could be even more useful... but the sword wind won't reach the Spirit.Well, you should talk to Alfilis about what to do.) "
Air Real was looking for directions to help himself, but he felt that he saw a way forward and raised his consciousness.
