40-approach





"My king, there seems to be no reply from the land of the elves. You can't expect a good answer from .......

"I see. I guess we can't trust anyone but humans. I'm sorry to say this, but we should seek help from Latota.

"La Ratta, sir?

 What came out of the man's subordinate was a voice of surprise.
 The country of Latota is a neighboring country to this one, but we have very little contact with it.
 I've heard rumors that it places importance on the training of adventurers, but even that is not true.

This is a good chance to deepen relations with Latota. I'm sure they can't ignore an unidentified dungeon.

"Oh, I see. You're the king.

 The subordinate praised the king in a way that made sense to him.
 If we can deepen our relationship with the Latota nation and also investigate the dungeon, it will be more than just killing two birds with one stone.

 I don't know how well it will work out, but I can't help but have high hopes for the king.

Anyway, we should get in touch with the king of Latota. What should we do? ......

"Why don't we just send a messenger to ......? Mr. King.

That would be fine, but Latota is a very closed country. An ordinary messenger would probably be turned away.

 I've decided to approach Latota, but the problem is how to make contact.
 There is very little information about Latota.
 Even the existence of the king is shrouded in mystery.

 On top of that, a number of countries had failed to communicate with Latta.
 Even if you send a messenger, it is more likely that an ordinary messenger will not be taken seriously.

I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.

"Adventurers from ......?

I'm sorry. I was out of line. ......

 My men are ashamed of their actions.
 Even though he was in front of the king, he had exposed his own head without thinking.
 He was a mere aide.

 In some ways, this is so disrespectful that I could have been executed.

"Well, that's an interesting way of looking at it. The adventurer's perspective is something we can't get to. It could be a bridge to contacting Latota.

 But.
 The king's reaction was more favorable than his men's.
 Apparently, the idea of using adventurers as messengers had completely slipped his mind.

We'll need to select adventurers, then. It may take some time, but it can't be helped.

"Yes, we'll start the selection process now!

 And so.
 And so the approach to Latota begins.
