408 406 Bandit Guild (1/2)
The night after I asked Eliante or Calc to find a mansion.
You couldn't find it on your own after all.
”Mmm.”
”On”
In the evening, we also looked around the aristocracy. But even with the stone statues of dragons, the relief of lions, and the angelic bronze statues, I could not discover anything that matched the war maiden stared at by scorpion lions.
He said Eliante couldn't get any eye-catching information either, and he's still going to keep gathering information.
Neither on our own nor on the Adventurer Alliance's information network, we are headed under Calc, the last fortress.
(Information, do you have it?
”Well, even if you didn't, you could squeeze the area, right?
With Calc's information network, downtown and pleasure streets will be able to do some research. This means that if Calc couldn't be discovered, it could be removed from the exploration range.
”Well, I'll be there”
”Mmm.”
Activate Split Creation to create Splits. According to Ursi's nose, Calc is already in the tavern.
Push open the decaying door and enter the tavern. Again, don't let your gaze turn to us all at once. Yesterday, you were known to have been talking to Calc, and there was little sign of insult.
Oh, yeah, I erased my split in the tavern. Maybe they see it and think it's a creepy opponent.
No one tries to put their feet on today, no one flies a chilling whistle. Instead, you didn't want to get involved with me, enough to make way for me.
”Hey, it's been yesterday.”
”Are you here? I guess we're getting the money, huh?
”That means. Did they find you?
”Oh.”
That's amazing! Even the Adventurer Guild couldn't get a clue. This seems to have been an affront to Calc and his network.
”Well, give me this”
”Can I pay you off before I get the information?
”Oh. I'm good at spotting lies. Besides, you're not stupid enough to try to get away with this money, are you?
”Hmm.”
It was unlikely that Calc would try to get away with just taking the money, either in the sense of losing credibility or in the sense that there was no way he could escape me.
Calc snorts like it doesn't seem funny. I guess we don't like the fact that we're being insulted by putting ourselves in a rough situation.
”- Silence. Let me just ask you something?
”Take this one.”
”Paper? What numbers?
”It's the address of the mansion you're looking for. Central part of the aristocratic district. It's a separate residence in the Count of Olmes, behind the house of the Marquis of Ashtoner. Across the street is the mansion of the Count of Baileys”
”Ormes......”
”A little while back, it was Viscount Receps' residence, but he was crushed by the scandal. You know what? It's Marquis Ashtoner's concubine.”
Viscount Receps means Sergio. The Marquis Ashtoner family has a perfect connection.
”In front of this present Earl of Olmes Separate Mansion it has become the Earl of Baileys Mansion, but there is a stone statue of Manticore. The gaze of the statue faces the garden of the separate mansion, which is adorned with stone statues of the maiden of war. What do you say?”
This information will be a hit.
”Perfect. Thanks for looking into it.”
”Even though I was forced to take it on, it's my job. I'll do it perfectly.”
”Thank you”
When I thank Calc, I decide to just disappear. The paper I received has been secretly handed over to Ursi in the shadows. No, seriously. I might be able to take care of Calc's information network again. For once, shall I say no? Although it would be annoying for Calc.
”I'll know what I want to know again.”
”Don't come again”
”I'll do it right.”
”Hey -”
I smiled slightly at Calc with an annoying look on my face and he erased the split.
(Master, how's it going?
I never thought I'd be able to get the information this far.
(Then?)
