44 Episode 43 Negotiation with "Union"

Snake Town: "-Megumi?"

A chalk residence owned by a “union” composed of slave traders.

In one room, I faced my client, Fyodor, and explained what had happened in the forest of Titis, including what I heard from a demonic girl-a sparrow.

The originally narrow eyes of Fyodor are now narrower, and sometimes his eyes are turned to my side.

A sparrow with two horns was sitting there anxiously.

Hunter Sparrows are like jumping into their nests aiming for themselves. Every time Fyodor's eyes were turned, he shook his body and grabbed my clothes tightly.

While observing the sparrows closely, Fyodor continues his words.

The King of Snakes "Is it that the ceremony has appeared because it can no longer be performed?"

"From the situation, I think it is appropriate to think so."

"Hmmm ... I mean, I indirectly evoke the king of snakes."

Fyodor moans with his hand on the sagging jaw.

As a result of the hunters aiming for sparrows, the sparrows had difficulty getting out of the village, which prevented them from gathering the food needed for the ritual.

As Fyodor says, the union will be the most responsible in this emergence of the Basilisk-I reported, as it sounds.

Fyodor stares at me.

"Aside from that, did the king of snakes surely defeat him?"

"I confirmed that the beast was swallowed by the fire along with the sea of decay. In return for his life, Perry of the Grim Reaper took three legs and cut off two of them, The movement of the beast was quite slow, so it's unlikely that he could escape that fire. "

However, I did not confirm the corpse, so I can not say that I was able to defeat it definitely. I added that.

"Because I wasn't too far away"

"What?"

"While fighting, I was poisoned by the King of the Snake. I was saved by a sparrow where I was in trouble."

"Well, the demon has helped humans. I hear that the snake king's poison is powerful enough to invade even the earth. How is it?"

"This is it."

It was Jiraio-Okus that showed Fyodor that way.

Fedor looks at the yellow nut and looks at the sparrow as it is. The sparrow noticed his gaze and shook his body again.

"Does this mean that this fruit was a poison for poisoning the king of the snake?"

"It's a secret that has been passed down from generation to generation. This saved me a life. The sparrow is my lifesaver. It's not just about poison. She lost her village. He fired the fire, ready to be sunk, and sank the demons into the fire. ''

I looked back at the slaver's eyes.

The gift "I mean, the sparrow is a benefactor not only for me, but also for the city of Ishka. If my creed is to reward my grudges with resentment and sincerity for sincerity, I will bet on my life to protect Sparrow. I want to help Fyodor. "

Fraud: "Let us help protect the demon. What's wrong with this, isn't it possible that he's lying?" Maybe you are

Three times, Fedor stared at the sparrow. The sparrow's body trembles.

"I wonder if the cause of the appearance of the King of Snakes was really due to the lack of rituals. I have never heard of any way to seal the monsters with offerings and dances alone. If you think you've sent it, you're still more convinced. ''

"Hmm. If you have such doubts, I would definitely do it. I hoped I didn't want to turn Fyodor on the enemy ... but I'm sorry."

With that said, I urged the sparrows to get up.

An escort behind Fedor places his hand on his sword with a sharp glance.

Right now, I'm in the room, sparrows, fyodor, and two fyodor escorts. Among them, only two escorts are armed. I keep my weapons at the reception desk.

In addition, the slaver in front had more than a dozen soldiers hiding in the ceiling and behind the walls.

It's easy to get rid of me and catch the sparrows, and it's clear that I'm thinking like that than looking at the fire.

Of course, I won't tell you kindly that you have this.

There was no lie in saying that I didn't want to turn the "union" against the enemy, but it would be different if you would be hostile from beyond.

The fight starts when the escort pulls out the sword. I was watching the escort in front of me with such a feeling.

Then--

"wait"

Fyodor raised his hand to control the escort.

Let go of the handle of the sword as if the escort was in a hurry.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sora. But I hope you don't come to a point at the moment. I just said that there is such a way of thinking. Merchants are not so confident. I can't help but think about it. ''

"I was sorry. I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that protecting Sparrow would not hurt Fyodor and the Union."

"Well, why is that?"

"The achievements of discovering and repelling the king of snakes are in Perry's and other 'Grim Reaper's Scythes', and those who sent them to the forest were the Fedors. Including this, the government will celebrate this as a great achievement, and it is possible that forests and water resources will be polluted in the future due to the effects of basilisks and rotting seas. I'm heading. "

"I see. It's the fruit of that tree."

"Yes. Some may criticize you for protecting the demons, but if you could gain valuable poisoning instead, your voice would have to be reduced. In addition, this poisoning was only done this time. And if you can neutralize the snake king's poison, most poisons can be neutralized. Let's come and buy the royal aristocrats who are afraid of poisoning and buy them. The "Union" knows the money tree, "

"Houho"

"I am liable for the consequences of interfering with the snake ritual and inviting the emergence of the king of serpents, but only those who are aware of the snake ritual in the first place. `` I'm not going to blindly listen to the information that my partner, Feodor, would be disadvantageous.If I cooperated with it myself, the secret would be to the tomb. ''

Conversely, when Fyodor and the "union" are no longer collaborators, they will listen as much as they want.

If this information spreads, it is not enough to say "union".

The emergence of the King of Snakes is a major incident that jeopardizes Ishka's existence. Fyodor would have known that it wasn't a matter of ignorance.

Of course, I would have been accused of cooperating, but it's more like a mosquito bite than the damage that Fyodor and the union do.

I have repeated the words, but after all, what I want to say can be condensed into one.

-Withdraw from the sparrow.

Concealment For that purpose, give up the achievements of defeating the Serpent King, and cooperate in doing inconvenient facts. Instead, if I don't pull out, then I'll be completely an "union" enemy.

The opponent is a slave trader of Umisensensen. He must have read what he wants to say verbatim.

Now, how much could my words move the interested balance in slavery?

With that in mind, I waited for Fyodor's answer.
