The Traveling Hero Won’t Let the Innkeeper’s Son Escape

"- Oh, um……………."

The villagers, who had been making noise earlier, look back at Ruth's voice in unison. The people in the village of Micana just seem surprised, but most of the people in the village of Hashi looked like, 'What, the poor bastard of the Blau family?' But don't even look at me like that.

"What is it, Ruth? Is something wrong?

"Oh, yeah, hey, what I remember, can I use it for this one..."

"What is it? If you have a good idea, just say it."

Thanks to Rossa's voice, she even spoke to the village chief, who usually frowned on Ruth's behavior. Of course, I guess it was because there was no good idea and half the story was rough, but I felt that the village chief was better hit than when Alec was there.

Ruth scratches the other villagers and approaches them in front of a table that is spreading the map. The area around it, including the village and the dungeon, was noted.

I knew it was this cave, that cave.

The place where the red painted stone was placed for the landmark was at a cliff diagonal to the right from the dungeon when I looked at the map. Looks like the cave down here is definitely where the thieves are standing.

At first glance, the surroundings were open and promising because they were away from the trees, and it was difficult for ordinary villagers to devise a strategy to attack them, but there were unique shortcomings of the land. And maybe Ruth and Alec are the only ones who know that.

"Actually, this cave has a vertical hole, and from there, the horizontal hole continues again. Go from there…………"

"Vertical hole? Did that happen?

"If you go to the back, the ceiling is higher, right, there's a vertical hole in that corner. It's dark and hard to see, and because it's narrow, I don't think you can tell it's probably as light up from the bottom."

"But you lit it from the bottom. So you don't know, does that mean you've peeked from the top?

"Yes.... that, with Alec"

"Alec."

"I see."

When Alec's name came out, seriousness began to appear in the faces of the adults around him as soon as possible. Probably because of Ruth's increased credibility in his words. It's a pitiful story, but Alec and Ruth have no choice because the adults have mistrusted each other.

"So where does that hole lead to?

'I think you're going to get mad,' Ruth said, pointing at a place with a map with a sinister face. There's...

"Hey, isn't that in the dungeon?

"Was there a hole in the dungeon that would follow outside?

"No, it's all surrounded by thick stone walls over there, and I frequent inspections to prevent thieves from entering, so that's not..."

As the grownups make noise, Ruth's finger is the equivalent of the back of the dungeon and the second basement floor to the right. Normally I don't think there's a hole leading to a cave under a cliff in a position close to the center of such a dungeon. If there's a hole in the dungeon that leads to a cave in the first place, you'll notice the frequent Zelenka family.

However, only the village chief changed his complexion when he saw the position he had pointed at. You must have noticed what Ruth was talking about.

"No way you...... or Alec! Did he drill a hole in that“ Wall of Narco Lessons ”!?

Ruth nodded slowly as she pulled her cheeks to the mayor's face.

"Yes. (d) About a year ago I... or Alec succeeded in destroying that wall."

The walls that Nako makes for nesting, or "Nako Walls" where they are, are so stiff that they are comparable to the armor of C-ranked demons that it is normally impossible for ordinary people to break them. But there's nothing you can't break if you're someone who knows how to do it. That's why in Aristotle season, young people from promising villages will enter the ruins in the future and carry out narco extermination. Even if the extermination is delayed a little, if the technique is quite usable, it is possible to break it, in order to learn how important it is.

And the 'Wall of Narco Lessons' is about the indestructible wall that that young man learns in his first years. Anyone who starts exterminating Narco without knowing anything knows how important it is to get rid of it in front of this wall.

And why it's indestructible, that has a lot to do with the nature of Narco. The walls of Nako can be broken if you remember the magic in about a year, but if you leave them unattended, their armor will be gradually strengthened, and the next year another Nako will build a nest to increase the thickness of the walls. In other words, if left unattended, a strong wall can be created that is not a noise at the C-rank. And the "Narco Lesson Wall" refers to a place where the state of abandonment has lasted for centuries, and where it has become a terribly hard and indestructible wall that no one can destroy.

The Zelenka family, Colt's home, also makes this wall of narco lessons one of the monumental specialties. I suppose that's why it's consciously remembered as impassable over there.

"Fool! It's not about breaking it, it's about breaking it."

"Well, I know. Me and Alec just felt like we were trying our arms. Alec hates to lose, so he has improved his magic every year to break it, and it was like a" big battle of the year "and he played half the time. However, I finally made a big hole in the special demon squares that I made about two years ago..."

When Ruth laughed bitterly, the village chief finally looked far away. I don't know how Ruth feels either.

Alec drilled a hole in the walls of the Nako lesson was so thick that Ruth reached out and lined up four people that it wasn't enough. Alec wrote one of the demon squares and broke it. Until then, of course, he repeated scattered failures and continued his thought and error, but neither did Ruth think it would end so quickly. By the way, that demon cube is pretty special, so even Alec spent quite a bit of time knowing it wasn't easy to use, but it was so nasty that Ruth recommended the seal immediately.

"Hey, hey, now you calm down, Bartolo. It's not like I'm rubbing it on that wall right now."

"Mayor Georg"

It was Georg who came in between me and the angry-headed village chief.

"Did you say Ruth, who wasn't... The end of that wall leads to that cave under the cliff, right?

"Oh, yes, it is. There was a place behind that where the dungeon wall was partially broken, and a hole was made. There was quite a bit going on ahead, but I remember it leading to that cave under the cliff. Perhaps the walls of Nako were left there for a long time to block the hole."

There was a great possibility that Narco's properties were used to block anything other than the formal entrance leading into the dungeon. Originally a dungeon without a chest, but the wall decoration and candlesticks are beautiful, so there is also a risk of theft and destruction. Since it is also well sealed, the possibility that demons, animals, bandits, etc. will live there is also well considered in terms of rainstorms. If that happens, you can say you make a living in the dungeon. Because from Hashi village, it will definitely be a devastating blow.

"I see, I don't even know the village people, the path from the dungeon leading to the cave? Isn't it just right to ambush them? Hey, Bartolo?

"………………….. you fools"

The village chief had a rather sinister face for allowing a hole to be opened that should not be drilled, but he did not deny Georg's words. I guess there is no better way to help the hostages intact and catch the thieves.

"That's settled. Ruth, you know, the roads are mixed up. I know the way. Is it easy for anyone but you to get there? Then the Hashi Village people didn't seem to realize that the wall was open, but are you up to something?

"As far as the road is concerned, there are a few things that are divided into all sides, so I don't think it's possible for the people who start and go to reach the cave without taking time. I'm good at remembering mountain paths, and I can show you the path I took two years ago. It's a wall, but it doesn't change the purpose of what I saw, as I put the wazoo and narco in place that year to make the wall to mislead the drilling. But it's only been about two years since I buried it, so I think it's possible to break it if magic can be done there."

When Ruth answered confidently, Georg grinned and nodded niggardly.

"That's a good answer. All right, Gorus, you keep up with Ruth to drill a hole in the wall, Yuan, and you're an escort and an ambush. And then."

"Hey Georg, don't decide on your own. Besides, if we don't get the inhabitants of your village out in front of the killer, the thieves will be suspicious, so come forward. You can't ambush too many people. And I'm anxious that only Ruth will guide us there. I'll even put a few from our village."

"Mayor, let me go."

"No, I'll go. I'd be the one guiding you."

My hands rose from the adults who were gathered in the voice of the village chief. They are people in the village who are recognised to stand up in arms. Whoever is chosen is not strange. But the village chief looks sinister after thinking for a moment.

"Whoever showed his face in the negotiations earlier, stay on the front. If you don't show up, the thief will be on guard. Then you can't have someone as big as Rosa. Not for covert action. He goes through the hole, he's got a little bit of an arm around him."

"Then leave us alone, village chief."

Three Daniels raised their voices, scratching the grownups and putting their faces in front of the village chief.

"The small circle is better than the original, so I'm ready to enter the dungeon because I was originally prepared to exterminate the narco. We can move on. You're not talking about being able to take the time to prepare, are you?

A village mayor who tries to think only a little about Daniel's words full of confidence, but eventually sighs and nods.

"Okay. Let's ask the three of you."

"Yikes!"

Daniel grips his fist hard at the village chief's permission. And when Ruth and I met each other, I smiled niggly and then nodded loudly.

Apparently, they're coming to the dungeon with Ruth. I can tell from Georg's statement that Yuan and Karen's arms will stand, but Ruth also feels comfortable to have friends in the village who know what moves to make, because we don't know each other.

"Now, let's get started. The ambush targets before sunset. Everybody move quickly. Don't let the thieves interrogate you."

To the village chief's voice, the adults moved to prepare themselves.

Ruth, Yuan, Karen, Daniel, Colt and Fritz, who were to head to the dungeon, nodded loudly as they looked at each other to unite.
