Episode 21.3 (1/2)
Commander Doug was begging Lecan to stand up with his eyes, thus Lecan stood and turned toward Earl Golbul Gaionis Douga.
The earl is quite thin with a pompous moustache that stand upward on the tips.
Earl Golbul who entered the room along with two knights greeted Lecan before sitting down.
”I am Earl Golbul Gaionis Douga. Are you adventurer Lecan?”
The eldest son, Tomaj has a calm low pitched voice and yet the father, the earl himself is sounding weirdly shrill.
”I am.”
The two knights standing behind the earl emitted their bloodlust.
”Fumu. It appears you know nothing about manners. I suppose that is how that be for adventurers. I applaud your coming here. Would you have a seat for me.”
”Will do.”
The earl waited to take his seat after Lecan, followed by Tomaj and Henjitt.
”Let us get straight to the point, is it true that you conquered our Dungeon Golbul on the 28th Month 3 Kingdom Year 116, and on the 26th Month 4 Kingdom Year 116?”
”I don't remember the exact dates, but I did conquer Dungeon Golbul on month 3 and 4.”
”We recognize your legitimacy as a conquerer of Dungeon Golbul. We shall hold a celebration.”
”Your eldest son already treated me with liquor and food, congratulations too. I see that as a form of hospitality from Earl Golbul.”
”Most excellent. I ask you, what did you obtain from the dungeon boss on month 3?”
”A golden potion.”
”Do you still have it with you now?”
”No. Used it.”
”On yourself?”
”Yeah.”
”Will you tell me what kind of ability you acquired?”
”No comment.”
”So you won't. Let us proceed, what did you obtain from the dungeon boss on month 4?”
”A <Dagger of Harut>.”
Reacting to that, the surroundings buzzed.
”Is that assertion based on its outward appearance. Or by <Appraisal>.”

”<Appraisal>.”
The surroundings buzzed once again.
”Most excellent. Do you have it with you now?”
”Yea.”
”Could you show it to me.”
Lecan pulled up the collar of his overcoat, took <Dagger of Harut> from <Storage> and put it on the table.
'Ooh', several people let out a voice.
Earl Golbul turned to look behind him a bit. One of the knights nodded, walked forward, and tried to grab the dagger.
”I never said you could touch the dagger.”
The knight glared at Lecan with an intense look.
”Fumu. I should have asked for your permission beforehand. Adventurer Lecan. We would like to <Appraise> this dagger, we shall be borrowing it for a while.”
”I won't allow this dagger get taken out of my sight. You're allowed to use <Appraisal> on the dagger. But do that inside this room, right in front of me.”
