"As always, I'm confused by the speed of that switch... but I found out you were looking into something through the treasure balls of the dragon tribe's former chief, and that you left all kinds of items in this labyrinth, so it's information-gathering and item targeting."
I was also surprised by the gap between Grevin, who had rolled earlier, and now Grevin, besides Ethereal Tai.
"Hmm, the items are behind this, so you take whatever you want. Yeah. What I've been looking into is probably not about the guy who tried to trap us."
The tone of Grevin's voice had fallen slightly and turned into something serious.
"Did you find out anything about him? I figured out he was Francisle's brother, but I have no idea why he did it."
"Hmmm, I looked into it too, but I wasn't sure... I was checking his trends for a while to see if he would do anything after that, but I normally reigned and stayed on top of it without anything happening"
Hearing about Grevin, Ethereum and Deena frown.
"So you don't know anything... I was hoping to hear you were discussing a lot with the Dragon Clan Chiefs"
Aotearoa clearly becomes a discouraged expression. I feel an unspeakable sorrow at the death of an opponent who had no enemies against us without doing anything. Then the idea of why you fell for us is circling around my head. Deena couldn't hide her shock because she seemed to have come to the same idea.
"I couldn't get this kind of information about him, but our situation has changed since a few decades."
Grevin knew the shock in the hearts of the Ethereals, but he goes on to talk.
"In the first place, I divided my clan into multiple settlements… I didn't expect the Empire to target us."
Aotearoa narrowed her eyes when she heard it. Grevin is trying to say something important, that's what he felt.
"Hmm, sounds like you're curious to ask. The Empire attacked us, and there were crushed settlements... because I was supposed to be dead in the first place, as is commonly known in the story. I used it to hide my identity and try to lurk. I wonder if it was then that I met Atra."
Grevin sends his gaze to Atra to dig up nostalgic memories.
"When I was fighting other demons, Lord Gregor helped me, and I made a deal with the Beast Demon."
"Uh-huh, that's what happened. As I said earlier, it was smaller than that. I had no idea it was gonna be this big."
Atra narrows her eyes to Grevin's words.
'Let's give that word back exactly as it was. I didn't think you were getting so huge'
"Sure, I think so, too. I didn't know you were transcribing memories into the Golem... so I guess that's all there is to it first."
"Whatever's here, well, if anyone can use it, he might get in a little trouble. Well, let's go after it. More about the Empire than that. Those guys were after the dwarves. It was clearly aimed at my existence."
Noticing the contradiction between the earlier words and the current story, the Ethereal Face comes with suspicion.
"You realize I'm supposed to be dead in the world, but you've been after me. In other words, it seems that there are those who were certain of my survival."
"That means I knew you were alive in the Empire. Or someone expected you to be in his way."
"Um, I gave out a couple of books. You may have read it and convinced me of my existence."
That's what I expected, Grevin. However, since the nickname Grevin is a cheap abbreviation, it was easy to predict from Gregor Marvin, but that's why it was hard to believe that he had gained enough certainty to attack the settlement from there.
"You abbreviated Grevin in the first place because I said so, didn't you? The one who knows that is going to be limited. Not to mention there shouldn't be one in the Empire."
The empire did not exist during the journey a thousand years ago, when it was still a small kingdom. But almost at the same time as the dwarves began to be attacked, they named the Empire and expanded its forces.
"I don't know, maybe someone we know leaked it... or maybe there was a traitor."
"But Francisle's brother didn't do anything else, either, did he? You don't know any other survivors."
Aotearoa and Grevin get more and more into the depth of their thoughts.
"Uh, I thought..."
In a situation where nothing can go on as it is, Deena, who softly raises her hand, calls out.
"What?
Aotea said back to Deena, wondering if she had noticed anything.
"Isn't it possible that that Mr. Francisle's brother and the person who instructed him to attack the dwarves in the Empire are the same person?
What the hell are Grevin and Aeta saying to the way they talk while mixing their hand gestures? and saw Deena with a face that looked strange, but soon realized the possibility.
""............... that's it!
At the same time, Grevin had thought of what Aotearoa had come up with.
"For example, yes, it's like a life-extending device worn by the Chiefs developed by Grevin. As a royalty, he could have faked death and then lived under a different name."
Aotearoa uttered one reasoning.
"For example, you don't have to be the person who inherited the idea, and you can't even think that he built an empire."
Grevin gives the possibility of someone else with the same idea.
"Either way, if you think about it that way, don't hang around. You should have known the name Grevin was Francisle and that brother. I remember his name in a chat once back at the castle."
"Um, he was alive. Or if anyone inherited his thoughts, thoughts, memories, etc., they could think of targeting me."
From one word of Deena, the two turn their minds around and go through some reasoning.
