Volume 17 Chapter 1 Part 2 (2/2)
“I’ to relate what happened in Passner to several people viain person”
“Wolfgang…?”
Hydro and Oxygen seemed perplexed by the unfamiliar name, so shi+n explained that he was Girard’s descendant Beast types would give birth to several generations of descendants over 500 years, after all
shi+n preferred to meet him directly because he shared the blood of Girard, an i of the Beast Alliance Falnido, the largest Beast country in the continent of Eltnia, so he was sure it would be best to talk in person
“That Girard, h in itself, but if he could pass on without any regrets, I suppose it’s a good thing”
shi+n expected Hydro to ask how a Wolf-type beast could have lived so long, but her expression did not show any such intentions
Oxygen was the same too
“I can’t say I am not interested, but I don’t want to think of my coly asked about it and received this reply They were interested to a degree, after all
shi+n was relieved to know that both Hydro and Oxygen did not think of their companions as research specimens
Even if Hecate had created them with a mad scientist-like nature, they still treasured the people important to them
“We’ll leave Girard’s descendant to you then Leave Baltan and theat the Gars They norht at home in Romenun’s poisoned zone
shi+n’s party thus left Ro distance via land, so they used a teleportation crystal to instantly warp to the location they registered the last time they were in Falnido
“I didn’t even notice you registered a spot”
“Well, no need to ht?”
shi+n couldn’t exactly tell he did it while taking a toilet break
The party teleported to a forest, then erou was the one to pull it
Lulled by the vibrations of the reinforced horse carriage, shi+n’s party headed towards the gate they were told about during their previous visit to Falnido It was a gate reserved for those who had special perular one used by adventurers and merchants
“Schnee and I will act as the coachuards remember our faces, they shouldn’t be too wary”
shi+n had sent a e already, so he didn’t think they would be refused entry, but there was still the possibility of miscommunication or human error
Schnee’s presence was likely to solve any issues they ht have, but he wanted to avoid trouble as nized us”
“They were already inforate shi+n’s party headed to was normally concealed by illusion skills They didn’t affect shi+n, however, so he waved to the gate guards and they waved back
If shi+n’s uards was there when they left Falnido the last ti informed you about our arrival?”
“Yes However, for added safety could you showemblem His Majesty has entrusted you with?”
shi+n stored the horse carriage and approached the gate, then one of the guards asked for such proof shi+n did as he was told and took out the accessory Wolfgang gave him from the item box
“Duly confiruard checked the accessory, nodded to another guard, and politely greeted shi+n and the group
The guards had already sent a horseof their arrival
The guard said that soeous horse carriage arrived It was a lavishly decorated vehicle, used to welcouests
It was also rather coh quality for this world’s standards
Horse carriages used by nobles and the royal fae citizen, still shook considerably; the lack of vibrations in this carriage clearly showed that a lot of money had been invested in it As expected of the welcouests
shi+n’s party was led to the same room they used when they reunited with Girard There they found Wolfgang, Cuore, and two other Beasted the t faces to introduce themselves
“I aaro, I a”
Volk, the Beastman who spoke first, was the type closer to Beast than hu unifors, a black beak, and black hair His physique was also larger than Wolfgang’s: if he stood up he would probably le beast
It was generally hard to tell the gender of Beast from Volk’s low voice and physique he was a ht
His level was 244 Despite the bulky physique, his job was Mage
Maybe because he could detect shi+n and Schnee’s htly nervous
“I am a minister too, my name is Ciel Tio”
The other beastns of the Beast species were animal ears and a tail
Ciel had short blond hair with hints of black here and there Her thin black eyes were darting around, observing shi+n’s party closely
Ciel’s slender physique suggested she was female: she also wore an easy to move outfit, similar to Cuore She did not seem as nervous as Volk
Her level was 239, her job Beast Warrior
“Do they know about us?”
“Yes, I’ve told them already Think of them as Lord Girard’s Rajim and Van”
Close retainers worthy of trust
Wolfgang said he had already told Volk and Ciel about them, but they introduced themselves all the same As they revealed their identities, they could tell the two Beastmen looked tenser
“How could I put this…your party has beco knew about shi+n and the others’ exploits already, but he couldn’t help feeling a bit aard
The cause was the presence of the foron Emperor, shi+baid, as well as Sety and Filma, ere on the same level of prowess as Girard They had heard about them from Girard, so they had an idea of hoerful shi+n’s party was
“Er…I know it’s weird for me to say this, but try to relax and listen”
The atmosphere had turned tense after they just introduced themselves
The sole exception was Cuore, asn’t nervous but looked extre what happened in Passner and the air surrounding Wolfgang changed again It was tense, but in a different way fro closely, as commanded by his responsibility to rule the country Volk and Ciel too listened intently
“I thought I had understood the situation after reading your ang and the others took the situation gravely
Wolfgang especially kneell how different players were fro Girard
Their knowledge and skill were very advanced, of course, butthat set them apart from others
Many of them were also famous: while shi+n did not know them, the people of this world would accept most incredible events if one of them was involved
“Those who know players ould be evencreatures like us, so they too will die eventually…but still, there is so that sets them apart fro’s words
Chosen Ones were different from normal people too, but since they were born and raised in this world, they felt they did not have that different “so” players had
“Really…well, let’s leave that aside for noanted you to know that there’s sos like what happened in Passner It’s frustrating, but we haven’t coh”
“No, sis very different You havebowed his head and the other three followed suit shi+n knew that they were acting like that also because he was Girard’s ht they lowered their heads too much
“Anyway, that’s all the reason e cas and royal retainers were certainly not people you could easilythe contents of the “chat” and the person it ca and the others would surely accept to meet them, but shi+n didn’t want to take too much of their time
“Where will you be headed now?”
“I plan to visit several countries to talk with the people we know there Soe card, after all”
Only players and support characters knew of h-ranked people who had access to such rare items It wasn’t unusual for even Chosen Ones to not be aware of their existence
The first people that came to mind to shi+n were Todo Kankuro and the Five Supreme Blades in Hinomoto, Hibineko, Shadow, and Holly in Balame as characters, so they were pretty siht
“In that case, I would like to ask you to inforon Emperor The empire holds a vital position in the continent, so I would like them to know such information quickly Falnido will send an official document about your report as well, but I believe that they will understand better the gravity of the situation if Sir shi+baid appears in person If you have not decided on your next destination already, please consider it”
Wolfgang added that had the report come from someone other than shi+n and Schnee, they wouldn’t have believed it at first Information from the Beast Alliance would certainly be treated with due priority, butthem directly would add ood idea I know a bit about the empire too It’s the country shi+baid used to be in, we can trust them I’ll think about it”
shi+n actually o there immediately The Beast Alliance used coed quickly
As Wolfgang said, however, they could not know if the ereater the country, the more information it needed to parse There was even the possibility that the Emperor hadn’t learned about it yet
shi+n strongly wished for theravity of the situation, so he had no objections to having shi+baid or Schnee act as intermediaries to provide the information to the empire
