At breakfast the next day.
Anyone would care if a bunch of people suddenly showed up and wandered around the city that could destroy a bunch of ghosts and nests with meteorites.
All the more so if you are a powerful man.
So I take it for granted that there are as many applications for visits or rumors being heard at Ildo's.
At times like this, it's the quickest way to actively disclose information from this one and convince him that I'm not a threat to the city.
"And what do you think?
"... you're right"
Ild heard my thoughts, thought a little and then nodded.
"Whatever you think, because nothing will want to buy Master Margils' anger. That's what I reported, but I was wondering if I needed to overreact."
At the end of the day, Ilde's judgment would be more accurate than mine, which still has only sub child knowledge of common sense in this world (Sedia). Especially for these areas.
"But it's disgusting, isn't it"
Maura bent her mouth to the 'hee' lettering and blurred. That's right.
Besides, not at all, it was a realistic (...) idea, but Mora's words just seemed like a foretaste of what was about to happen. I don't really want to say it, but it's the one called Flag.
"Well, I know it's okay, but sometimes just in case. I'll keep this for you."
That's how I handed them two magic items. It's a silver ring on Ill and a light green cape on Mora.
"Wow, that's very light, you cloak...... heh?
"Become!? Maura!?"
When Maura wore her cape, her adorable figure vanished in an instant. "D&B" is also the basic magic item "Cloak of Disappearance (Elven Cloak)".
"It's okay, Maura is there. It's a cloak that can be transparent when worn. Take it off and you'll be fine."
"Really...? Oh, get out of the way!
Mora, who took off her cape, appears in the same position as earlier.
"Usually you just need to fold it and keep it"
"Such a precious item… is a waste to us"
"You're my few collaborators, my friends, right? If anything happens, I'm in trouble. Ildo's ring is" Wind Demon's Ring (Ginny's Ring) ". When I rub that thing, the wind demon god shows up and asks me three wishes for anything. Whatever it is, it's mainly combat and labor that can do it."
The demon god of the wind is a powerful monster among the 12 levels. Ildo would use it effectively.
Ildo lowered his head so as to hold the ring in his devotion. Maura also bows her head deeply.
"Thank you for your concern. I'll take care of it."
"Oh, thank you, Mr. Geo!
"Just keep it to yourself for once."
Even more just in case, I hid from the two of them and used the [Invisible Demon (Invisible Demon)] spell twice, keeping the invisible demon on their escort. On top of the fact that only one mission can be ordered by a demon who recalls with this spell, he eats a painful handache tail unless he chooses the word of the order carefully, but has the advantage of a long duration for that matter. This time he ordered the devil to "detain him for an hour if anyone tries to do harm to Ill (Mora)".
I myself recall the [Invisible Demon (Invisible Demon)] to give the same order, plus use [Hostile Breaking (Dictate Enemy)] and [Emergency Activation (Emergencies)]. Let's not make this three-piece set indispensable for a while.
A few hours later I was rocked by a carriage prepared by Ill and headed to the Capitol of the City of Lellis.
The purpose is to meet with Mr. Zato Browse, President of the City Council of Lellis.
Take a look at the bustling streets of the city of Lellis flowing through the carriage windows (though not the glass windows) and sort out the information you asked Ildo.
Around Lake Lewis was originally the territory of the Kingdom of Lewis, a country belonging to the Kingdom of the North (Schrendal), which began about 40 years ago when the Kingdom of Lewis collapsed in a civil unrest when leading merchants and nobles worked together to assert their right to autonomy and attain independence as an urban state.
The city of Lellis is currently operated by a council meeting. It is the chief of each guild who can become a councillor… I mean, the big merchants and the nobles who cooperated independently, but without hearing anything else, the big merchants and nobles are fighting over each other's factions. Well, this is nothing natural.
Mr Browse, who is to meet, is the president of the Council and the head of the Traders Guild. It means he has been the head of the merchant faction for a long time, but he seems to be one of the few who can also think of the interests of the city as a whole, according to Ill.
I am the person to hit and follow to explain that I am harmless to the city of Lellis… rather useful.
As I was thinking, the carriage stopped in front of the capitol facing Central Square.
The entrance to the majestic capitol, which suppresses the others, was decorated with the god of commerce, the patron saint of the city, and the elephant of the goddess of winter, who protects people from the darkness.
"You're the Great Wizard, Master Geo Margils, aren't you? I've been waiting for you. Come on in."
A city official waiting at the entrance just showed me to the reception room.
"Welcome, Lord Great Wizard. My name is Zato Browse, President of the City Council of Lellis. I beg your pardon for the disrespect you have called."
The chancellor of the review was a magnificent man with a splendid mustache. I have no humility at all in the way I break my hips deeply and thank you.
"It's the wizard Geo Margils. It's an honor to take care of your invitation. We're late for a visit."
Sweat seeps gently into the hand holding the wizardry staff. Browse's style doesn't even take a pull from real professional politicians and merchants who saw him where he was a company employee. Being overwhelmed, I desperately say to myself, 'I am the Great Wizard'.
When greeted, he recommended a lavish chair and lowered his back across the table.
"I have heard of your great work from Lord Arnoggia and Sedam. I thank you, on behalf of all the citizens of Lellis, for destroying the Dark Nest"
When Browse bowed his head again signaled, the secretary brought a small chest (chest) in a hand-held car. When he opens the lid of the box to me, there's a tight pack of gold coins and gems inside.
"This gratitude is not meant to be expressed in monetary terms, but please give us this first"
"... I just did my rightful duty as a wizard. Thank you for your generosity."
I don't have the guts to accept such a large sum of money. From Ill beforehand: "The exchange of gifts among the powerful is like a natural greeting. It would be an insult instead if you didn't take it," she nodded.
"No, good. Now we have one shoulder load."
Said Browse, smiling softly.
When he rings the bell on the table, a maid comes into the room with a set of tea utensils on the wagon.
……
"You have good canel leaves. How about a drink? Was the booze better?
Unexpectedly, Browse said when he saw me following the maid with his gaze. No, I didn't like the tea, I just came across a real maid for the first time and saw it.
A young woman with chestnut hair tied up, she looked simple: an unadorned black long skirt and shirt, a white apron and gloves. I also felt a high degree of professionalism from her pouring water into the tea bowl so that it flowed gracefully.
"Speaking of which, are you looking for a servant or something? If you don't mind…"
"... no, fine. I'll leave that to Mr. Ill."
Shit. Looks like they misunderstood me by looking too much at the maid.
"Ill be expected to be the head of the young even in our traders guild. It is also truly gratifying to us that he was close to you. Is this also Ashginea's favor?"
"Oh, he's really getting help. … but it's not like I can help him with his work"
"No way, if you want that much, you buy Ashginea's wrath."
A soothing series of conversations, but in fact this was also the flow as advised by Ildo. Ill say, "There may be such a misconception that I will use my closeness to Lord Margils to become within the Alliance. I think the chairman of the review cares there, too," he said. So I told him I wasn't going to get involved in his business, but as far as the look on Browse's face, it seemed to be a response to the passing score.
"Thank you for waiting"
A maid put tea on the table poured into a fine thin ceramic cup. Indeed, the fragrance is richer than the silk tea that Mora usually brews.
"It is a leaf that can be picked only in the Canel region of the Kingdom of the North (Schrendal). While staying in the city of Lellis, you can enjoy as many specialties as you want from all over the continent."
"Oh, I'm already indulging you"
Browse carried the cup into his mouth first, as he would have done with poison. I also include light brown liquid in my mouth, not to be alarmed.
"... Mm"
"Oh, didn't it suit your mouth? Compared to silk tea and so on, the flavor may be a little strong."
"No, it was just amazingly delicious"
In fact, I felt it was not as delicious as I thought it would be. But the browse looks delicious, I don't want to apply mud to his face, and I patiently swallowed a second bite because I have trouble being considered a country guy who doesn't know the taste of luxury goods.
"So I think I'll hear from the Sorcerer's Guild in a while about the golem"
"I see. That's really meaningful information for the city. It's not enough to thank Lord Margils."
"The Dark One is the enemy of all humans. If we are to protect people from the dark, we will spare no effort in the future."
"Thank you for your reliable words. Let me tell the other senators and guilds, they'll be delighted."
This is how you interact with the necessary information between public stories. In Japanese society, this is the realm of politicians, not company employees... Browse is also something that often accompanies rhetoric like my academia.
"If there's anything I can do to help defend the city, don't hesitate to say it."
"Hmm...... Thank you again. I can't judge by myself, so talk to the Guard Commander..."
"What's wrong with you?
I leaned back from my chair and peered into Browse. He elbows at the table and blues his complexion.
"Ugh."
"Oh, whoa!?"
Finally, Browse vomited and fell in.
Is this poison? No, it's poison, no matter how you look at it.
If I held him down and looked indoors, of course the maid's appearance had disappeared.
