"Poison..."

Pull over. Pull over.... I don't really feel it, or I often wonder...

"The" weird look "Claire saw would be a shirt to protect himself from poison.Using slaves also shows that it is a dangerous job.Probably the production of poison. "

"Er? So the royal family is thinking about throwing poison from the Golden Realm into a well called the Red Gard Realm?"

"That's fine, but poison doesn't just mix anything with water or food."

Laocles explained to me with a very reluctant face.

"For example, we know that burning certain stones from the Golda mine produces poisonous smoke.It seems that if you mix it with a specific dried poison or salamander's blood, it will create a poisonous smoke that will kill even the dragon.Of course, it's Golda's secret trick.I only hear that there is such a thing.I don't know the details even if I'm a sidekick. "

I don't know how many dragons I can kill.However, as far as the reactions around me are concerned, I don't think it's a little too powerful.I wonder, if you think it's an African elephant corn...

"With food and water, we can deal with it without drinking or eating.Or just make sure you have a safe diet.But... air won't work that way either. "

Yeah... I know that. Poison gas is dangerous.Wow. That's why chemical weapons like poison gas are forbidden in our world...

"... poison dissolved in air, hey. But I guess that's not what I thought.If you smoke, you're gonna need a lot of equipment to produce it, aren't you?Besides, generating a poisonous smoke covering a town would require a considerable amount of material.How much material do you need to make us dysfunctional? "

"But on the contrary, it is likely that it will suffice just to make the people of Soleira suffer.Enough to show off. "

In Laocles' words, Fay looks like he's "bawling."

"... no, what are you going to do after the show?So the royal family was destroyed by a total attack from the other realm?Do you use poison in such a situation? "

"Well... I'll do it myself."

Fai's objection was empty, and Mr Crowe ruthlessly said so.

"There's no other way out.If you think about it from the royal standpoint, the royal family could even be doomed to be beaten by the Alliance of Nobles and the Argents.Then I think it will suffice to crush this emblem of the Union of Nobles, the Spirits' knees, and the royal family.If you just spill the poison, you don't need that much force.Would you allocate almost all of your existing forces to defend the castle? "

Fay finally fell on his desk like he was holding his head."Ahhh..."

"Of course... there's still a chance there's something behind it.That's what I might be hiding, even the most insidious soldiers in the mine. "

With such a fake, Mr Crowe sighed and said.

"If there is such a thing, the poison will come.I think that's a good idea.Because... if you poison me, there's nothing I can do about it. "

... things could be worse than I thought.

Poisonous smoke dissolved in the air… If the royal family is trying to kill with poison gas, we don't have many ways to deal with it.

"Uh, you don't have any antidote?"

"I've never heard of it.... Krah, do you know something? "

"No, nothing. I mean, there's less poison like antidote.The development of poisons is faster than the development of antidotes.It's easier to kill people than to heal them. "

"Well... that's what I mean."

I asked, but there are no antidotes.

... that's right. Killing is easier than healing.I know, I know.

"It's easier to destroy or kill than to create or protect.You'll see. "

When Laocles told me that, I had to nod.Even if it takes time to paint, throwing it away is an instant.When you light it, the paper turns to ash in just a few seconds.No matter how many hours you put it on that drawing paper, it's the same thing.That's right. I know.I understand. But...

"... I think it's irrational."

"... that's right."

When I said so, Laocles smiled a little lonely and stroked my head.

"Come on, what do we do? In the meantime, would you like to report it to your father?"

"I see. Maybe we should take the Spirit and discuss what we can do about it."

Yeah, I'll take you with me.

... as far as I know, I can draw it.Whether it's a barrier or a gas mask, you can get it out as long as you know.... but anyway, I've never seen a gas mask in real life, so I'm not sure I can make it work properly.

I wonder if it's a shelter. What do you want me to do with the shelter?Shelter, shelter...

"... Mr. Corn"

When I thought about it, Princess Large pulled the sleeves of my clothes from the side.So, slightly out of the circle of argument, and approaching Princess Large, she secretly said with a voice that only I could hear.

"Actually, I know the name of my father when he ordered me to hand over the Knights of the Forest."

Eh!?

I thought that wouldn't be necessary, but if there's a lot of information I know, I'll never get past it!I need you to tell me now!

... but Princess Large looks kind of serious.Princess Large, who had such an unexpected look on her face... finally said.

"The current Lord Gorda testified... that he saw a great sinner in the former Knights of Gorda in this forest.There are also testimonies from the people of the time... so my father told me to hand over the Knights of the Forest in order to capture the killer of Lord Golda and the killer of the people... "

... for a moment, I got lost.

I suppose Princess Large secretly conveyed this to me because she didn't think anyone would know this information.You secretly told me not to discredit the Knights of the Forest unnecessarily, Laocles. Thank you.

But, well... everyone knows that.Everyone here knows that the Knights of the Forest's Gypsum statues were sold as criminal slaves.So you don't have to hide it.

No, but...

... I thought you'd mind.I thought it would help Laocles and the others to become aware of their sins.

It will hurt the heart of Laocles, who has become positive, and it will also hurt Marsen and Interlia greatly, who are going to have the most gorgeous time of their lives as weddings.

That's why you shouldn't tell me.

That's what I was thinking...

"... you know, Princess Large..."

But I thought that was different.Besides, if we hide it here, we'll know when the royal order comes.

Then it's not honest to keep it hidden.

You should say so.... even if I say so, I think so.

"They were all criminal slaves.Everyone here knows that.So, it's okay to tell everybody. "

To ensure that Princess Large is careful and doesn't hurt anyone as much as possible, so that her emotions don't mix up, just give her the information she knows, just the facts.

I was so worried, and Princess Large would have been more worried... but it was taken lightly by everyone.

"Well, I'm being looked at.I'm surprised Lord Golda knew about us now, but considering what he saw when he saw me, it was a good idea. "

That's what Laocles said and sighed.And Marsen nodded a little convincingly, "Did you see my face?"

Speaking of which... this wouldn't have happened if I hadn't accidentally bumped into Lord Golda.Then I'll... no, let's not.I can't help thinking about this.Anyway, besides Laocles, the Royal family found a reason and properly attached it to something, and eventually, the royal family came in.Yeah, let's think about it.

"Well, that's a lot of clarity.Lord Golda must have drowned in the royal family.You chose to rub this information and Golda's secret poison formula or manufacture against the Royal Family without any cost. "

"I see. Now that Argent has become a third force, he can rub against the royal family and become the most privileged aristocracy in the country.Well, it's a big bet, but I don't think it's stupid.Rather, from Golda's point of view, I think it's going to be a good line.Well, it's stupid to turn us into enemies. "

While listening to Mr Mersen's analysis, Mr Crowe's analysis, and Mr Crowe's thorny words, I think.

I wonder what to do with this...

"Um, Faye, Mr. Crowe."

"Oh, what?"

"What's wrong? Are you hungry?"

What do you think I am, Claire?

"The Royals are demanding that the Knights of the Forest hand over the old Lord Golda because he killed him... but what are they going to do when they do?"

Laocles and the other knights were all sold as criminal slaves.It seems to have been swaying around with other owners until I bought it. [M]In the meantime, as a criminal slave.

In other words, I don't think there are any more punishments now, but what is the justification for wanting the Knights of the Forest?

No, of course, the hidden idea behind it is that I want to sharpen the defenses of the forest...

... Fai and Crowe looked at each other, thought for a moment, and then taught them what to think.

"Well... maybe you'll be punished severely."

"Or maybe I'll give you something else.If the current Golda lord is involved, it's possible enough. "

"They've always been criminal slaves? Punishment?"

I don't think so. Even though spending time as a criminal slave was a punishment, it wouldn't be much to punish even more.

"That's what I'm talking about. And if there are testimonies not only from Lord Golda, but also from the people... well, that's what I'm talking about."

As for me, I'm not convinced, but Laocles says so and strokes me and my head.

And Laocles whispered my head and said, "Shut up a bit... and open your mouth again, without looking at me."

"Sometimes it's poison. I think it would be best to accept the surrender, since they may be able to unjustifiably kill our people."

I disagree.

Soon I will speak up. [M]Take a good look at Laocles.

"There's plenty of potential to steal the Forest Knights and further poison them.Then I think it's bad luck to hand you over. "

Laocles finally saw me. [M]

"... at least the opponent loses the name of the soldier or the slaughter.If I could send troops without a name, I wouldn't have ordered "Hand over the Forest Knight" in the first place.The Royal Family has deliberately named Handing over the Knight of the Forest because it needs a name. Isn't that right? "

"No need. Build a high barrier to protect the forest town from poison.Shelter's fine. I'll give you as much as I want. That should be enough. "

I don't care what the royal demands.There are many ways to resist.

"There is also the possibility that people outside this town will be attacked.The Red Gard family itself could be poisoned.Or another town.... it's impossible to protect them all. "

"Then I'll shelter all the towns!"

"It will take time. We will not be able to produce the equipment to protect all the Red Gard people in a day or two, but if the royal order is given tomorrow, the poison could still be spilled the day after tomorrow.And what if there's a royal scout scouting this town?If you look at the bulkhead that jumped out of nowhere, you may know that the operation is leaking.It shouldn't be built cheaply. "

"Then we can attack from here....."

"We're not going to send troops.Even if it moves behind closed doors, something is a bet.In that case, you'd better not move until you know where they're coming from.If I'm sure I'm going to protect my life. "

... Laocles' opinion is only a worst-case scenario assumption.

The Royal Response is very fast, poison is already available, and even worse, it raids some town in Redgard territory, and we don't know which town will be attacked.

"It is unacceptable to move under cheap assumptions to put your people at risk.... if you're in Faye's position, yes. "

But that's what Laocles says. Faye has a very tender face, but she doesn't deny it.

"And as a knight of this town, I can't risk my life..."

I know the correctness of what Laocles says.

I know that life comes first.Something irrevocable must be protected.

But the opposite feeling is inside of me, and I can't explain the correct theory well, and I think it's my selfishness, and my head is messy.

"I need to buy some time. Isn't that right?"

"... I wonder if there are other ways to buy time.I don't think it's a good idea to lose the defense of the forest here. "

I'll try to think about it with my messy head and object to it, but maybe this is not what I want to insist on.I know, but what's the right answer?Even if I ask myself, I don't get a good answer.

"No, you don't have to lose all the knights in the woods."

For a moment, I was expecting Laocles' words.

But as soon as I saw Laocles' face, I knew something was different.

"Not many of the Knights of the Forest are seen by the Lord of Golda.Few would know that almost all of the Knights served Golda at the time. "

Laocles... looked determined.

"I'll go alone.We've found the killer, so we can just hand him over.... so you can buy yourself some time. "
