268 Chapter 18-10 Orcs and Bandits

"What the hell... ah!" Flute, it's been a long time. "

When he found me and greeted Mr. Flute, he was grabbed by his arm and taken to the guild leader's office.

I was expecting this from Mr. Flute, so my grandpas followed me in no hurry.

"Guild Leader! Your party has arrived!"

"Alright! Take Augur's turn to the north or east, or a swarm of orcs marching on the west or south streets!"

The situation in Gunjo was worse than I thought.

"Primera and the others defeated Augur's turn in the north, so the request is complete.Now, we're tired, so.... "

While visiting Gunjo City, I basically explored the surroundings using Exploration, so I'm sure the Alliance Leader's Augur's turn is the one Primera and the others defeated.

That's how I tried to turn my heel back... but I just had more power to grab Mr. Flute's arm.

"In the meantime, hand in the auger that you defeated.It's hard to imagine that we missed other augers, but it's possible that the augers moved the exact opposite of what we expected from the sightings. "

That's how the Guild Leader summoned the other staff, and the women, except Amur, were taken to another room to talk about Augustus.Amur was going with him, but the Guild Leader told me he had something else to ask him to do, so he stayed.

"So, let some veteran adventurer confirm the matter to the north, and I would like to ask Temma to crush the ohm's herd of augers that have been confirmed to the east, and Amur to crush the ohm's herd of herds that are on the streets to the west or south."This is not a nomination request, but please accept it. "

Currently, many of the adventurers active in Gunjo City seem to be new, and since there are only about a third of the newcomers, it seems that it was difficult to crush two orc hordes at the same time.

We were there, and we were sorting out the northern problems like a souvenir, so we wanted to finish the remaining three places here at once.

Incidentally, both orc herds appear to be close to fifty, and among the 150 adventurers who are now, they are planning to split the hundreds into two that are likely to be able to move quickly and become a force for battle.

"Hmm... then I'll take charge of one of the herds.I can fly, and depending on the place, it might take about an hour. "

Grandpa, who had remained silent until then, lowered his head immediately while saying that the Guild Leader was afraid.It's a very different attitude from mine.

"Tenma, let's borrow Slurrin.After defeating the herd, the retrieval will be completed as soon as Slurrin is present.And the guild leader. I'll go, so Amur can stay here.Wouldn't it be a bad idea for an Alliance to take most of the merit of Oración to a boulder?Instead, I will wholesale the orc I defeated to the guild for a cheap price. "

In addition to the north, when Orasions head for the eastern Augur and the western and southern Orcs, most of the materials and rewards will be ours.As a result, additional rewards due to the number of Crusades paid to other adventurers will be considerably lower.That way, the adventurers' dissatisfaction will go to the Oración and the Alliance, and if Grandpa takes the crushed orc with him, the Alliance will make less money.

So instead of taking advantage of Amur, we can reduce dissatisfaction by sending the adventurers we gathered to the place, and sell the amount that Grandpa defeated to the Alliance cheaply so that the Alliance doesn't run a deficit.

Flute reacted to this before the guild leader, and immediately wrote the contract here.

"Amur is on the answering machine, I don't think so, but be prepared if one orc flock attacks you."Just in case, I'll leave Silomar and Lyden behind. "

"Hmm! Then I can't help it! If something hits us, we run into the Knights' headquarters with Primera and the others.If that doesn't work, I'll take them to Riden! "

Leaving Amur's jokes aside, if we work with the Knights in the presence of Amur, Shiloumar, and Golem, it will be fine if a thousand swarms attack.However, if the herd actually attacked the city of Gungjo, given Primera's influence, it would be better to work with the Knights.However, even if the herd attacked the city of Gungjo, if it was so close, I or my grandfather would notice it before leaving the city, and if it was so far away as I did not notice, I would be able to finish each person in charge in time.

As he laughed at his grandfathers, Flute, who was dumbfounded, brought a map with the sightings.

So after checking the general position, Primera and the others who were talking about Auga came back.As I thought, the Augur that Primera and the others had defeated was the subject of the sighting, and the wounds on the male's body were consistent with those reported.

Now that Primera and the others had finished their business, we all discussed the rest lightly, and Primera and the others decided to go to the "Full Belly Pavilion" first and wait.And by the way, if I hadn't come back by dinner, I'd have decided to eat first by myself.

"Now then, Grandpa, let's go, get it over with, and get back home."The name of the operation is "Sah, Sah, Sah, Sah," and whoever comes home late confiscates half of his supper!Let's get started! "

She turned her body towards the door casually, and ran out at Grandpa's discretion with a start signal.Well, when I go out, both my grandfather and I will fly with the magic of "flying sky", so honestly, there is no error of about a few dozen seconds... but I can't help it because I want to do it.Incidentally, I was later informed that the error was not about a few dozen seconds, but nearly thirty minutes.Anything, my dash caught me and my grandfather ran away, but after running for a few steps, he punched his little finger in the foot and fell into the spot.At that time, I was already in the sky, and Amur couldn't fly.

Merlin side

"Recently, I feel that my treatment is terrible... I wonder if it's because I got married?"

While thinking about it, it is about thirty minutes late from the temper.I was healing by the time I was able to move... or I thought I was healing well.Perhaps my shins and pinky fingers would have cracked my bones.Well, it wasn't as big as my healing magic... but even so, even with normal old people, it's a level of damage that keeps you at peace in the house, at all!

This anger kept flying as I remembered the map I had been shown before I left to bump into the Orc herd in front of Temma.

The orc swarm is a day's walk from the city, so if you keep flying, you'll be able to find them in less than an hour.You don't have to fly the street as a landmark, so it should be easy to find it if you haven't changed the place a lot.

As expected, I saw a crowd of oaks in less than an hour.However, in front of it (about 2km away), there was a group of about twenty adventurers who seemed to be targeting the orc herd.It's not good to judge by appearance, but most people don't seem strange to be mistaken for bandits or bandits, and the laughter they hear slightly is vulgar.

"I may be looking forward to the opportunity to defeat the orc, but I've been asked to, and if I stay away from here, I can't claim the rights of that herd.Besides, you haven't put your hands on it yet. "

The adventurers' voices became louder as they tried to charge at the Orcs.Apparently, the scorn has returned.

As I kept watching, some people pointed somewhere with a laugh, so I stared in that direction....

"Is that one of the merchants?"

There was a caravan heading towards the orc herd.From the merchant caravan, I don't think I noticed the orcs on the other side of the hill.On the other hand, the orcs are starting to move the herd to attack the caravan, whether they notice the smell of the caravan's food or something.

It looks like the adventurers are going after the orcs attacking the merchants.

Whether the caravan resists the orc swarm or runs away, it's no mistake it's an opportunity no more... but it's a bad choice.Maybe the merchants over there will be the client of tomorrow.

Besides, if the Alliance finds out that they are deliberately deceiving the caravan, it will be natural to suspend or revoke their qualifications, and they will be blacklisted everywhere.That would make it difficult to live a decent life.

"Whatever happens to those adventurers, it's pathetic that a bunch of unknown merchants get caught up in this... well, once we have a cause, we won't hesitate!"

If it's about two kilometers away, you'll be there in less than a minute if you do your best.When I skipped as far as I could and filled the distance, I first built a wall with earth magic to block the street, and stopped the merchant corps. At the same time, the orcs made it difficult for the merchant corps to attack.

"In total, it's over fifty."I'd like to take it all down, but I have an appointment with the Guild Leader, and I have to take it home in the best possible state of trouble... uhh! "

Besides, we have to defeat the adventurers who were trying to sabotage the merchant corps before they come, so it's better to see that there's no time than you think.

So, I roughly checked the oak range, used water magic to wet the whole herd, and released a few "Thunderwalls" there.

It seems that the released Thunderwall struck directly, but many of them were lucky enough to avoid it.However, most of the individuals who escaped the direct hit were electrocuted and collapsed because of the water magic they first released without any time to relieve themselves.After all, it was the three of them who were on the edge of the herd that managed to escape.Moreover, there are adventurers in the direction of escape, so it will be difficult to survive.Well, even if they escaped, the three of them wouldn't be a threat, and if they could stop the adventurers at all, I wouldn't praise them for being somewhat useful.

"Sullin, I'm going to stop him from breathing, so get him back quickly.They suddenly come with cancer and foolishness. "

I would say that he was robbed of his prey because he tried to deceive the caravan.So we need to retrieve all the orcs they took before they arrived and tell the caravans why.If I succeed, it may be a bandit who has suddenly blocked the way for the caravans.

This is the last time. Surlin, this one too. "

The wind magically scratched the last one's neck and asked Slurrin, who was right behind him, to retrieve it.The surrounding area is a sea of blood, but if you use water magic to some extent, it won't be a problem... I don't think the blood will be smelly for a while.

Isn't it Merlin who's here?

One of the caravans spoke up to see when the orcs were finished.I thought it was a voice I had heard somewhere before, what a representative of the Jay Chamber of Commerce.

The Jay Chamber of Commerce people were wary of being attacked as I thought, but they were wondering because magic was being used across the wall and nothing was being done to them.However, I wonder if the representative of the caravan will speak up in a situation where I am not sure who I am, but I have just said thank you for saving me the trouble rather than being watched.

"Really, that wall has such a reason....."

"So it's time for the hidden adventurers to come again, but the owners didn't realize there was a crowd of orcs there.Also, I didn't have anything to do with the adventurers who were hiding, did I? "

"Yes, at least I won't be drunk enough to hire anyone to hide from us in the distance."If you need Merlin, I swear to God, whoever you are, you have saved us from danger. "

It's a little exaggerated, but I'll declare it with the understanding that Alex will come out if I get caught up in something irrational.If this is going to be a part of the evil, I'll say no, but it's because there's a chance that even if you get into trouble, you'll be sure to win.A merchant is not strong after all.Well, it's convenient for me.

"Well then, could you make me a little contract?"What, I defeated the orc herd because I was hired by the owners, and I was hired just to make a contract that was less (...) than (...) before I built the wall.I thought you said you needed to talk to me about paying me back. "

"Yes, I'll create it soon."

Jasmine immediately took the paper and pen out of his pocket and wrote a contract with Sarasa.

"This is the contract. Well, I was lucky enough to say I was at the top of my life to be able to make a deal with someone like Marlin on the verge of being attacked by orcs."

Sanwen plays are also a good place, but there is a possibility that they will complain to the guild that "they had their eyes on the orc herd first, but I suddenly showed up and went to make fun of them", so we must also be prepared to appeal to the guild that it is not a sideways action, but a request to act.Well, as for the order of the requests, it may be pointed out, but there was also an attempt to deceive the caravan (there seemed to have been a movement), so it would have fallen back unless it wasn't too stupid.

Well then, it seems that an uninvited guest has arrived, so the client should stay behind me.

Though hopeless, I would expect them to have some decent intelligence.

Merlin SIDE.

"I didn't expect you to get so mad..."

I admit I was in a bit of a rhythm, but when I beat the Augur's turn and came back, the first scream from Primera said, “I'm in too much of a rhythm!I was scolded for a while and told to pick up Grandpa.

"It's been three hours since Grandpa left, so did you have any trouble?"

In my case, Augur's turn was quite near the city of Gungjo (about 50-60 km) from the sighting point, so I could find it about 30 minutes away.Reporting this, Ms. Flute was more dangerous than she thought.

I got another tip from Primera because I almost knocked Mr. Flute out, and I left the guild to be kicked out.Even though it wasn't my fault that Flute-san fainted.....

"In the meantime, I have to take Grandpa home quickly and fix Primera's mood...!"... but it looks like you're in trouble. "

In addition to Grandpa's reaction to the end of Exploration, there were numerous reactions around him.

"... Grandpa, were you attacked by a bandit?"

"Oh, Temma! I see."It's nice to defeat it, but I wonder what I'll do next.... "

I heard an explanation from my grandfather and Jasmine, who were hiding nearby, about what to do with the Bandit Adventurer.And I came to the conclusion that

"Grandpa! The cage is ready, let me bring it in!"

The adventurers who built the cage and made it impossible for them to move inside, were thrown into the cage and later collected by the guild.The cage alone could be broken if the orcs came out, so we also built a moat with a depth of a few meters around it.

"Unless you're lucky enough, you'll have until the Alliance sends a Collector."

Even if I said I couldn't move, I was only tying my hands and legs together behind my back to bite the monkey, so I could run away by cutting off ropes with hidden weapons and magic.However, I have collected the Alliance Cards and other items that may also be used as ID cards, so it is decisive that the Alliance hear from me after collecting them.

In turn, we collected weapons, magic bags, and dimensional bags that were in our eyes, and we built a mound near the cage and buried them in it.As it was, it was dug back up after escaping from the cage, so I placed four golems to defend the mound.According to my grandfather, the adventurers don't have the strength to defeat the four golems, so if you don't mind the weapons and luggage, you have to be quiet.Well, depending on the Alliance's judgment, weapons and luggage can be confiscated, so I can't say for sure... but I guess that's helpless.They might think of him as an inhumane trick, but according to the story, he was the one who tried to get out of the way first, so there's no helping him.

"Tenma, we're done. Let's get back here!I'm getting hungry! "

"Well then, Grandpa and I will go back first, but I think it's probably okay because it's relatively safe ahead.Well, I still can't lose my temper. "

"Yes, I understand that.Besides, we have a guard here, so we just have to do what we normally do.And occasionally, please take your feet to the Jay Chamber of Commerce in King's Landing.The people of King's Landing mourn that they can't show their faces these days. "

After the exchange, my grandfather and I went back to Gungjo City.

Jaime and the others will probably arrive in Gunjo the day after tomorrow.And the caged adventurers will be collected late tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

"That way, the guild collector will be back in about four days."

You said four days to come back as soon as possible, and then a day or two to investigate.Until then, it would be better not to leave the city of Gungjo, but the stay will be a little longer than planned, so there will be no problem.

However, the adventurers may ask for help, but my grandfather has a request from the guild, and there is evidence of a request from Jaman.Although Jasmine may be said to be disguised, he can argue that it was only after he had left it in writing.Besides, just watching the situation from a considerable distance does not give rise to priority, and if you were nearby, you could be said to have abandoned Jasmine who was trying to approach you.Above all, tell Grandpa to hand over ownership of the destroyed orc, and if he refuses, it will be over there at the time of the attack.

"Very well. Send a trusted adventurer to capture them immediately.Also, please do not leave the city of Gungjo until at least you have testified from the merchant. "

The Guild Leader and Mr. Flute were in the process of arranging a retrieval for the adventurers, looking reluctant.Perhaps the adventurers might have received a request from an Alliance in another city, but even in that case, in principle, the prey would be won by the early winner, so the act of making trouble because it was taken is routine, so if there was an Alliance that asked those adventurers, there would be no way to do it.

"By the way, Grandpa, how much are you going to charge Jayman?"

"Oh, that's right, but we'll talk about it after we get rid of those goons.Now you're getting a strong drink made in the north!It seems to be popular and not very popular near King's Landing, but it seems that it can be purchased regularly at a branch in the north.So, if you like it after drinking it, they will definitely ask you to do it. "

Speaking of the north, I have Maria-sama's parents' home, so I can't ask for alcohol with that handler... but the handler is like I made it, and Grandpa is looking forward to seafood, so I don't want to say too much.Besides, it is attractive to say that you can purchase without me, so even if you don't like the alcohol, it seems that you are going to continue to go out with me.

That's how I joined Primera and the others waiting for me at the Belly Pavilion... because we were considerably slower than expected, they had already finished lunch, and because it was halfway between lunch and dinner, my uncle told me that there was no food left, so I decided to go out to the stall to eat.Moreover, as a punishment for getting on my feet, I had to pay for everyone.Well, I just got a request fee for defeating the Augur's turn, and since it's a stall, it's not that expensive, so it doesn't matter... but when I ate up the Augur's turn's crusade fee, it was troublesome for the two of them to eat too much and break their stomachs.
