Soon after that, me and Hild found Garnett and his friends in a section of the party hall.

　I thought about calling out to them right away, but Sylvia and Marida were happily talking to me from both sides, so I decided to take a look at them.

　Sylvia asks curiously about life in King's Landing.

　Marida wants to know what she likes about her fiancé.

　Looking at the garnet sandwiched between the two of them with a troubled smile - in front of them, it's Alma - I felt like that was enough to relieve my fatigue from the meeting I had just had.

　And while looking at me from the side, Hild chuckles with a smile on her face.

''I'm glad to hear that your relationship seems to be going well.
"...... You're getting a bit old for it, aren't you? ......
''There would be nothing worthy of age in front of the elves. And if you simply account for the number of years I've lived, I'm the oldest in the entire Order.

　Well, that's true.

　It's just that the High Elves who knew when the ancient magical civilization was alive and well are so special that they are outstandingly special, and ordinary elves have also lived much longer than humans.

　I hadn't asked for specific ages because I thought it would be rude, but it seems that Hild is not one of those examples.

''I vaguely remembered that, in fact, among the young elves in the Chalk Fairyland, it's popular among the young elves to attend the weddings of humans on earth.

　Hild looked at Garnett and popped his palms together as he looked at Garnett and suddenly said something like that.

'I don't want to ask you why you remembered ...... weddings are so popular, what's the reason?'
"Weddings between elves are a rare occurrence. It's an opportunity to experience a festive and happy atmosphere, and we think it's a good omen for them to be blessed by an elf, so we often get invited to weddings, even if it's just a casual acquaintance.

　I see, it's a surprisingly interesting reason to ask.

　It's a culture I didn't see in the range I was active in when I was an adventurer, but it's probably a custom unique to the northern countries that are closely associated with elves.

　In my imagination, it may indeed be quite a production of glamour and mystery.

''So, I'll be looking forward to seeing you there.
............

　Hild smiles brightly under his hood.

　It's too obvious to fool people into thinking that it's about something, but it's not something I can respond to head-on with a sober face, so I can only maintain my silence.

　I'm sure Hildy was expecting my reaction and didn't seem bothered by it.

'I see you're finally back. It sounds like you were interviewing some pretty big names, how did it go?

　Mark spoke to me at just the right time, so I decided to turn my attention to that for now.

I'm sure it's not a bad idea. We'll be able to put together the results of the Knight Commander's meeting and also establish a guideline for our future activities.

　All of this was a constant source of tension, but I can say that we gained quite a lot.

　First of all, we need to explore the Ark of the Elements and at the same time set up a system against Agart Ram.

　For that purpose, we must also coordinate with the Adventurer's Guild Branch and work closely with the adventurers and the Silverwing Knights during the search.

　The adventurers lack the knowledge and experience to take on the criminal organization called Agat Ram, while the Silverwing Knights lack the knowledge and experience to take on the dungeon, an environment where the common sense of the earth is not understood.

　The most urgent task is to make up for these and be able to respond appropriately.

　Subsequently, if they were able to trace Demon King Gandalf's forces in the course of their search, they would quickly contact the Golden Fang Knights, who were in charge of the military, and ask them to take military action if necessary.

　In addition, in order to achieve this cooperation, it was necessary to make the adventurers in the field know not to go after the Demon King's army too much.

　We don't want the situation to worsen by meddling in the affairs of our own accord for the sake of prestige, so at the very least, we want them to make sure to report the matter to the guild branch or the White Wolf Knights (me and my team) immediately.

　Of course, it would also be essential to widely inform them of the premise that they will be given sufficient credit for simply reporting the matter.

　It's not just in dungeons that you need to be careful.

　There was a possibility that some wizards might visit the Ark of the Elements for research, so if those people visited Green Hollow Town, they would check their background and report to the Green Eye Knights in charge.

　The ones who would be working together in this area would be the Adventurer's Guild, which controlled access to the dungeon, and the Green Hollow Town Hall, where the wizards would be seeking a temporary home?

　With the former, you'll need to work with the former in a variety of ways anyway, and that's just one more requirement.

　The latter is ...... In the first place, I was made the lord of Green Hollow Town and the surrounding area, albeit only in the name of funding the activities of the White Wolf Knights, so it would be quicker to approach the town hall from that direction.

　The search for a means of transportation to the third level is also being attempted from other routes on the ground as well as within the dungeon.

　The forbidden area managed by the Iron Dog Knights - the area around the route that the Demon King's Army used to invade on the ground - will be searched for, and the attempt to reach the third level from the ground will be carried out at the same time.

　I'm not going to be able to get any more than a couple of hours of sleep.

(Plus, it's essential to share the information we've pulled from Ail Seslumnyl.)

　One of the three demon kings - Gandalf as the first, and the third, the dwarf Ivaldi, after Fraxinus, who has now been turned into the administrator of the neutral city of Asropolis.

　Information that the golems seen in large numbers on the first level were also designed and manufactured by this demon race, and may even be alive today and leading Agart Ram.

　And the information that the third level to be aimed at is that there was an ancient magical civilization - at least in the past.

　As long as the information obtained from Fraxinus so far is cross-referenced with the information obtained from Fraxinus, these clues obtained from these women should be able to be said to be quite probable.

　The ease of searching is completely different from having no information about the next level of the hierarchy we are aiming for, or having some information, albeit old information, that is somewhat known.

　In fact, this is the kind of information that the Adventurer's Guild needs the most.

When we return to Green Hollow, the first thing we need to do is to discuss it with the Adventurer's Guild. Through the White Wolf (me and the rest of us), we need to get them to strengthen their cooperation and information sharing with the other knights' guilds.
'I think you're right, and I'll do everything I can to help, but I don't think this is the time to talk about it. See, he's looking at me a lot: ......

　When I followed Mark's gaze, who looked pressurized, I saw Garnett, who noticed that we had returned, appealing to me with his eyes to come over here quickly if we were there.

　Now that he's acting as Alma, the change in his expression is subdued, but that's already an atmosphere that would have made him glare intensely if he were in his normal outfit.

'...... Right. Let's go.
'What, I'm collateral damage too? The guts to jump into a circle of women like that: ......
I'm not asking. I'm not gonna make it easy on you.
