Lesson 596: Weaknesses (2)

"What else did you find out?"

According to Surakitan, there must be something else I found out. I urge you to keep talking.

"I'll explain in turn."

First of all, it turns out that this mineral called gray-black crystals is probably a mineral, but it has the property of accumulating some ingredients. "

What's the ingredient?

"There is no measuring instrument, and I have no idea what it is, but I found that it emits a slight light at the moment of crushing."

You mean store the light?

"No. If so, it will trap the light, and the crystal will be black and will not let the light through." If you think of it as not, I don't think it stores light. "

"Is that why you said it was some kind of ingredient?"

"Yeah. That's right. My guess is that it's magic, and I thought it was like a magic stone, but it's a little different."

If something that glows when it's crushed is magic, if it's the same as a magic stone, I think it's strange that it doesn't possess magic power even after melting, but once it's melted, this gray-black crystal won't emit light even if it's crushed. "

The magic stone in this world is said to have the properties of accumulating magic power and sucking magic power from the surroundings and spitting it out, as monsters of rank A or higher often have in their bodies. For monsters, it is thought that they play a role like a magic tank, which means they possess more magic power than humans.

Melting and hardening such a magic stone to create a magic stone formation meant that even after melting, it still had the properties of accumulating magic power, inhaling magic power, and exhaling magic power.

In other words, this gray-black crystal is not the same thing as the magic stone.

However, I don't know if the magic power that is Suratan's guess is enclosed, but at least, there is no doubt that something is trapped inside before melting it.

"It seems likely that the ingredients that are trapped will become a weak point for the Dark Elves."

“If the information that there is a weakness is true, the probability is high.”

"... do you think you can use it?"

"I don't know... it looks like Synya and the others didn't get sick when they entered the place where the gray-black crystal was, and even when I was investigating, there wasn't anything wrong with their bodies... I don't know what they meant by weaknesses."

"I don't know if it's a weak point, and if it's a weak point, I don't know what effect it will have..."

"It's unlikely you'll die suddenly just because you're close to the boulder... well, you'll have to try."

"That's right..."

I don't feel like I can rely on this as a hand card in the hit-and-run production, but it's better than nothing.

I'd like to get some more hands...

“I don't think the black dogs are dropping any information about themselves. As for the Dark Elves, I'm going to ask them about them, but... I don't know if they'll get any more information.”

"I see... I'd like to extract information from that woman as much as I can, but it might take a while."

"But I think we should go ahead with the information, and I think it would be better to take the time to pull the information from that woman before moving on, rather than rushing here."

That's right.

As for our future actions, we had to go to the demon world and solve the demon king and the demon princess, but it was too dangerous to enter the demon world with little information about the demon world.

For once, everyone in Amazonas has gathered information, and because Heine and Pilte have made connections with the vampire race, I think we can share some information if we enter the demon realm, but if we have the opportunity to obtain information outside the demon realm, we should also secure the information here.

It would be even better if it was an opportunity to get information from the assassins under the direct control of the Demon King.

Besides, I had some kind of reaction to Nil's demonic eye, and I should get out of the city after I've collected all the information.

Therefore, Heine and the others waited for the woman to wake up while collecting information in the city.

In the end, it was only after noon the next day that the woman regained consciousness.

By the way, I decided to have a conversation with the woman without being able to get any more information, but perhaps even if I had more time, my hand would not increase. So I got permission from Suratan to move, so I immediately talked to the woman and headed to the dungeon in the Mansion.

I was surprised that a dungeon was normally built in the basement of the mansion, but I was able to walk through the mansion and was convinced somehow that it was a big building worthy of being called a mansion.

In the first place, I have no experience of living in such a luxurious mansion, so I don't know whether it is normal for a cellar to be built, but considering that a world of slaves is normal, it is not surprising that a dungeon is built.

In particular, the owners of this mansion were the ones who were cooking sweet juices with Bourdon-Fjorde. It seems quite natural to even have one or two of the basements.

Anyway, I went down to the basement of the mansion and to the woman in the cell chained up.

The moldy smell unique to the poorly ventilated basement comes to my nose.

The interior of the mansion on the ground is luxurious and brilliant, and it is a very boneless basement with a floor and walls that have only been embedded with unprocessed, magically created stones. There is only one cell, a fairly small space, and an iron lattice with rust floating on it is illuminated by the light of a lantern hanging on the wall.

Jarrah.....

You noticed I went down to the basement, and you can hear the chains breaking from the back of the grate.

Behind the iron lattice, as I heard, there were dark skin and scorched brown eyes in the sharp eyes. I see a woman with thin lips, long ears, and long gray hair.

It has a tidy face, and it can be said to have a beauty reminiscent of an elf just by its appearance. Currently, it is connected to a simple bed, and because it is in a situation where it cannot stand up, I do not know the exact number, but when I recall that it is in battle, it will be about 170 cm tall.

Of course, all the equipment has been removed, and the only cloth that wears is a surgical attire.

Every time you move vigilantly, you can see that your eye-catching limbs are muscular and well trained. During the battle, I didn't know whether it was a man or a woman without hearing her voice, but when I looked at it like this, it showed that the breasts that were neither large nor small were women, and I could tell at a glance that they were women.

"Did you wake up?"

When I get close to the iron lattice, the woman snatches me from the inside. I wake up on the bed, but I can't move around because my left right arm and legs are chained to the bed. Of course, I was firmly restraining my fingertips so that the magic circle could not be drawn.

According to the story, before she lost consciousness, this woman was dazed and did not feel the will to attack, but she looked like she might bite if she got close.

"I don't think I can talk about it."

"I don't want to talk, I don't want to talk."

Although the woman is staring at me, she responds with an extremely calm voice.

Raise your voice and let go! I thought the template was supposed to say, "Kill me!" It looks like this woman is different.

Understanding that I will not be released and will not be killed, I think that I am determined to never give any information.

However, so far, it has been as expected in some ways.

The opponent was the dark side of the demon tribe.

You'll be emotional, you won't accidentally divulge information, and you must be trained to withstand torture.

Even if I inflict pain or suffering, this woman will never break her mouth, and I am not used to torture myself, so I don't have the confidence to break her mouth.

Everyone knows how hard it is to extract information from such an opponent.

Before I fainted, I heard that I was in a state of losing my will to fight, so I had the hope of being able to have a smooth conversation, but when I looked into the woman's eyes, I understood that the hope had disappeared.

It's just... screaming, it's like you can't have a conversation, and the content is anyway, and the conversation is made up. I don't know if I can have the same conversation from here...

I think that's enough for the first time, but we can't wait too long. We should push the conversation to some extent.

So, ignoring the fact that I don't want to talk, I started the conversation on my own.

"I see... let's hear your name first."

………………

"Later, if you ask those two, you will know a lot from the memory of the blood." Even if you keep your mouth shut, you know what I mean? "

………………

In that case, a woman who keeps her mouth shut by saying that it's fine. No, I understand that I don't have enough blood, and I may know that I won't lose it.

Either way... the woman doesn't open her mouth and can't even talk.

If you don't cut your hand early, you won't even be able to speak.

There is no point in sparing money, because if you can't have a conversation, you won't get anything.

Therefore, I took out the gray-black crystal I had brought in earlier and showed it to the woman who was in the back of the iron lattice.

The woman only turns her gaze once to the object I took out, but does not react.

I thought that the story of the black and gray crystal's weakness might not be true, but...

After a short time, the woman noticed that she was looking at the gray-black crystal horizontally again, and her thoughts changed.

Apparently, it would be good to think that it would have some kind of effect, even if the woman cared. The problem is how to use it...

First, I'll unlock the iron lattice and go inside to see if it reacts.

If the gray-black crystals are going to work just by getting close, you won't want me to get close to them.

But whether you open the grate or I go inside, the woman doesn't respond at all.

Is that because you try not to react, or is it because it's not something that works just by getting close... it's very difficult to judge.

"Are you not going to talk to me?"

…………………

"... I see."

I will approach the woman with the gray-black crystal, but for now I don't see any change in the woman. At least, it doesn't seem to work just by bringing the crystals closer together, but here's the problem.

Should it be touched, crushed, or in a completely different way?

And whether the effect is like a woman breaking her mouth.

When I remembered Surakutan's story, he said it glowed when it was crushed. Suratan's guess was that, when it was crushed, some component that would have been trapped in it was released, and some of it might have become light. Considering these things, if the ingredient is the weak point of the Dark Elves, it will have the highest success rate of crushing.

While thinking about it, I tried to get closer.

"Master."

I heard Nil calling out to me from behind.

"... what's the matter?"

Would you mind a little?

Yeah.

I get out of the cage, away from the woman.

"... what's wrong?"

I go up from the basement to the ground, and when I can't hear the woman, I hear why Nil called me.

First of all, I was supposed to do the interrogation of the woman by myself. It was true that Nil would follow along, but it seemed that the woman was wolfing at Nil's magical eyes, and she wanted to see the reaction to Nil, so she tried to talk to herself first.

That's the situation, and knowing that I'm interrogating a woman, Nil knows that she will get in the way, but if you call me, it should be enough to think that you will have to do so.

I thought there was something going on, but apparently another visitor called me back.

I notice the sign before Nil responds.

Lenya!

Behind Nil was Renya.

I was very helpful with the bandits.

Renya lowers her head slightly when I call her by name.

"I'm glad you're doing well."

“Yeah, I'm better now that I'm injured, and I'll be fine if I don't push myself.”

"... did you get in the way?"

"No. It's okay. It was a nice timing."



What are you talking about? Lenya had a look on her face, but let's change the subject first.

“Let's sit down and talk about what's going on here.”

Nil is already headed to the kitchen to prepare a drink, and he takes Renya with him.

She sat down with Renya while drinking the tea Nil offered her.

It looks like Renya isn't hurt either.

"Yes, thank you for being safe."

"Once again, it was really helpful at that time." Thank you for coming. ”

“No, I did what I should have done.”

Naturally, it was said that it was very important. After all, Renya was handsome both inside and outside.

For once, I was pretending to be an adventurer, and I wasn't dressed as a ninja.

“We've heard from the Eagle Crows.”

Lenya and I did not share the story through the Eagle Crow. In terms of ex-post processing, the excellent renya were moved by the remnants and other evidence gathering, so they could not meet in person until now, but that would have settled down for a while.

"Even after it's over, there's a lot of help."

Lenya and Shinobi are excellent, so don't rely on them anyway. "

“Terrifying.”

As usual, the reaction was strong, but I was really glad to see that my mouth was slightly loose. When Renya and the others are moving as ninja, they do not change their facial expressions no matter what, so it is unusual for them to react to their facial expressions in this way. It might be because I was moving as an adventurer, but I was happy enough to move Renya's expression.

"So... what about the rest of you?"

"I found some people and captured them." However, the remnants of the gang were only members of the bandits, and they didn't have much information. "

"Either way, the bandits have been annihilated, and the bandits will have no proof, so it doesn't matter."

Yes.

According to Lenya, the remnants of the bandits did not appear to be gathered and set up. They were just fleeing, so it was good to think that the danger had completely disappeared.

I heard that Eagle Crowe and Kevin were concerned about the remaining bandits when they asked Shinobi, who was as good as Renya, to do the post-processing.

If I could scratch all the remaining bandits, I would have thought that I would have enough to launch another attack on the city, and I was concerned about that.

Now that the Barabantas and the heads of each bandit group are dead, there are no elements that can attack us, but if they do that, they will have more casualties, so it must have been a concern.

In the end, the remaining people were in a state that seemed to completely lose their will to fight, and they only thought about escaping. They were unnecessary worries, but I also think that they should be crushed in case, and Lenya and the others played a role in that.

I've heard a few other stories, but they're all reports that this case is over. We can now say that we are finally in complete danger.

"It was really helpful."

No.

When Lenya finished speaking, I thanked her and responded briefly.

"... did you find anything out about the woman?"

“No, I haven't been able to hear you yet.”

Really… We'll interrogate you?

If Renya and the others were patient, even if they talked about the demons, they could believe that they would never divulge their story, but if they could, they should do it themselves.

All I wanted to ask Black Dog was about the demon world. We can't let Renya get involved in our situation any longer.

“No, we'll take care of that.

Just... can I ask you something? "

"If you can answer me, then what?"

"Actually... this is it."

Kotoku...

I'll put the ash and black crystal on the table where the tea is.

Suratan has already investigated the gray-black crystals, but I thought that if I asked the professionals of the underworld, they might give me opinions from a different perspective.

"Is this...?"

This is called a gray-black crystal...

I told them all about the black and gray crystals I knew, and told them that it was the weakness of the person I wanted to interrogate.

"Is it a weakness...?"

“I know it's vague information. If it is true that it is a weakness, how do you think you will use it?”

"That's right..."

Lenya grabs the gray-black crystal and frowns as she looks at it.

"Speaking of which..."

Suddenly, Renya opened her mouth with a look that reminded her of something.

“It's going to be on Ouca Island.”

"If there is anything that comes to mind, please let me know."

Yes.
