461 Episode 461: Shaking in a carriage and reviewing the present Part 1.txt




 The owner of the White Wolf Store, an arms store in Green Hollow Town.

 A knight in chief of the White Wolf Knights, and a knight whose domain covers the entire area around Green Hollow.

 I've been wearing two shoes for a while now, but I'm proud to say that both are going strong for now.

 --It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on some of these items.

 Through the ingenuity of Noir and Alexia, two types of small heat-generating devices were developed with magic tools and elaborate technology, both of which will be adopted by the Ash Hawk Knights.

 Since the advance production version has already been sent to the north, it will be moved to full-scale production after the local test operation.

 --The latter's progress has also advanced to the stage where we can proudly report to the royal palace.

 In the second level of the "Elemental Ark" dungeon, the establishment of a cooperative relationship with the city of Asropolis, where demons live, in the second level of the "Elemental Ark" dungeon.

 Discovered that the true identity of Agat Ram, a mithril trafficking organization, is the same organization as the avenging enemy of Demon King Gandalf's army and is hiding in the third level and beyond.

 Although the whereabouts of the main body of the Demon King's army is still unknown, it can be said that the future investigation will be given a boost by being able to use Asropolis as a base for the search.




 Now - with both jobs going well, I was tempted to get more serious than ever before, but right now I was away from Green Hollow.

 I cast my eyes out the window as I was rocked by a carriage large enough to carry an entire family's entire household goods.

 The landscape of the neatly maintained roads proved that this Westland Kingdom, which had nearly unified the continent, had a sufficiently well-developed infrastructure.

It's a good thing that the king himself has summoned me. You're becoming a big shot, aren't you?

 Garnett chuckled in the seat across from me.

 That stance, with legs crossed and arms spread out on the backrest, would be an annoying sight if done in a ride-on carriage, but since there were few passengers now, it didn't really pose a problem.

 There were four passengers for me and Garnett, which meant that there were six of us traveling together in total.

'It's not like I'm great, is it? I'm sure I'm just going to be asked to explain it directly to you because I sent you a report with a bunch of crazy stuff.

 The reason why we suddenly left Green Hollow, as Garnett said, is because we were summoned to the royal palace by King Alfred's personal appointment.

 The nomination was to have an audience with King Alfred to report on the progress of the White Wolf Knights' official business, in an audience with King Alfred.

 All the reports are sent to the king's capital, but did they think that was not enough?

'' (If you think about it calmly, I've been reporting on things that were beyond the norm: ......)''

 The first report chronologically is that we have reached the further levels of the 'Demon King's Castle Realm' where we fought to the death against the forces of Demon King Gandalf.

 If this was all, it was still good.
 It was only a matter of time before the search party reached the next level, so the royal palace must not have been surprised beyond 'that was surprisingly quick'.

 However, the destination was the neutral city of Athropolis, named for the meaning of 'sanctuary' or 'refuge' by the demon tribe for the demon tribe.

 The city, which remained neutral from the demon king's army and the rest of the world, accepted the search party to rest and replenish their supplies in exchange for solving the problems they faced.

 The royal palace must have been quite surprised, but it's an event that is still within the realm of common sense for adventurers.

 Dealing with the non-hostile demon race in the dungeon was unusual, but not impossible.

 --But the problem goes on from here.

''If I were in charge of the royal palace, I would definitely doubt my eyes.

 One of his companions, Hild of the Knights of the Rainbow Rainbow Scales, smiles a troubled smile under his hood.

 You can find a number of different types of rainbow troops in the area.

'Any one of these things alone would be a big deal, but it's unlikely that they all happened all together at once, even if you have to believe it.
''Well, ...... honestly, even if I were in charge, I'd be mad. What kind of face should I raise the report to His Majesty?

 I chuckle as well.

 After arriving in Athropolis, I was in for a series of surprises.

 First of all, the second level, which was thought to be unheard of, had a first(...) guest(...).

 The first labyrinth ...... disappeared in the labyrinth, which on earth was called The Thousand-Year Corridor of the Abyss, was Algernon, the brother of the Duke of Kingswell.

 I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future. 

 I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more information on this topic.

 We were able to get permission to use the city as a base of operations for our search, as well as the secrets of the dungeon as far as Flaxinus knew, after hearing the request of Flaxinus, a tree man (dryad) who claimed to be the administrator of Asropolis.

 --the situation changed dramatically after that.

 As soon as we encountered Algernon, we were suspicious of the presence of anyone other than him on the second level.

 And then we contacted the Norsemen who had encountered Algernon before and confirmed that Algernon had managed to escape to the second level by himself, and discovered that the people living in the residential area were fakes.

 The true identity of the human beings is the same type of automatic doll ...... the Night Ripper that once caused a series of murders in the royal capital.

 They are planning to kill the administrator Fraxinus for some reason, and when they realized that our appearance had jeopardized their perfect progress, they forced their plan with only minimal preparation.

 As the battle against the automaton unfolds, more truths are revealed.

 The truth is that this unidentified group is the same organization as the "Agat Ram" that took the life of Garnett's mother by controlling mithril trafficking on Earth.

 Mithril trafficking and the assassination of the neutral city's administrator--we don't know what the connection is between the two, but we fought with the demon tribe and fought off Agart Ram.

...... True, it's absurd to think back on it again. It's like I was having a bad dream.
It's a dream, and it's not worth it. I finally got my hands on Agat Ram's tail, you know? I'm going to drag you out to your head like this.

 Garnett switched his amused smile to a ferocious grin, the edges of his mouth hanging wide.
