Chapter 109: Target, City Lord's Mansion
I took Alice and wandered to the open-air café I had promised. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Ah, welcome-I'm sorry, it's been a busy day lately, so if you need to order food, you may have to wait a while, so please find a seat first-!"
The bell hanging on the door made a clear sound to inform the clerk that we had entered.
After hearing the voice, a waitress with long red curly hair said apologetically.
As she said this, she hurriedly packed up the tray after the guests had left, and hurried to the counter.
"Actually, we came to the appointment, and the person who agreed should have been waiting for a while, can you please tell us which private room a beautiful woman and the headless horseman are in?"
"Eh, the Headless Horseman, I've had a lot of guests lately. Let me think. ”
After hearing my words, the busy staff lady pressed her index finger to her lips and showed a thoughtful look.
At this time, Alice, who was behind me, tugged at the corner of my dress.
"Now, Uncle Bone, Alice said she could smell Sister Felicia's scent, why did ......she ask it? Ah, because the clerk is so beautiful? Wow, what a bony uncle, your style. ”
Alice, who was following me, showed a look of disgust without understanding anything, so I whispered to her:
"Listen up Alice, building a good relationship with the clerk in the shop is the basic principle of adventure outside. Especially the beautiful clerk lady, they usually have a lot of hidden flags on them. For example, after being caught by a nobleman for theft, you will find out that the clerk is actually the daughter of the lord, and she usually hides her identity to experience the fun of a commoner, and then saves your life because you have a good impression of meeting. ”
"Oh, oh, oh! Alice has seen this in an adventure story. I'm sorry, I'll be there. ”
Hearing me say this, Alice, who had the same expression on her face, fell silent.
"Uh....... I'm sorry for this guest, although I'm a little happy to be said to be beautiful, but I'm just an ordinary person, not the lord's daughter. The two guests you mentioned seem to be in the private room on the right side of the innermost part of the corridor, so I'll leave first if there's nothing to do. ”
When I turned my head again, the staff lady who seemed to hear our conversation made a forced smile.
It seems that I broke my flag with the clerk at the starting point.
――I was a little disappointed after the failure to pick up a conversation, and I was pulled by Alice to the private room, opened the door and walked in.
"Lord Eshuin, you come to ......., forgive your subordinates for being stupid, but don't you have a space ring? You've been here for a long time, is it because it's a bad situation......?"
"It's okay, Brother Paul, Uncle Bones is just a little disappointed after being disliked by his beautiful sister. ”
Immediately upon seeing us, Paul said with a saved expression, while Alice preached to him about unnecessary things.
This guy is especially chattering in unnecessary places.
"Alas, I came late because it took a little time to be interrogated by the guards on the way, and nothing else. But Paul, why do you seem to be fidgeting.......Oh, okay, you don't have to say it, I know. ”
Curious as to why Paul had a relieved expression, I saw his embarrassed smile and knew why.
There was no surprise to see us appear, Ah Shu sat opposite Paul, elegantly drinking black tea without saying a word.
No wonder there is an awkward atmosphere.
Although she looks pretty good, I have been with Ah Shu for a long time, and I have a deep understanding that this guy doesn't like to talk in the first place, so Paul must have spoken to her with lines like [eh], [um], [yes].
…… In addition, Ah Shu's life has a strong deterrent aura, so it is really hard for Paul to accompany her.
"Enchantment magic, soundbarrier"
After putting down the soundproof barrier, I gently placed the package in the corner of the private room and sat down on the chair.
"So let's get straight to the point, this is a document compiled from the intelligence collected by Matt's thieves, you can take a look at it first. ”
After taking out the documents and manuscripts brought by Sokite from the spatial ring, he handed them to Ah Shu and Paul respectively.
"From the adventurer's point of view, these are places that are not conducive to investigation.......
"Well, Paul, you're right. And we don't have much time left, and considering whether this information is missing, we need to complete the location this week, otherwise we will be in a very dangerous situation. ”
As I said this to Paul, who was embarrassed, I also gave them a prototype of the telescope.
"That being said, I didn't plan to find it anytime soon, so I guess it's impossible to be so lucky. So there's no need to rush today, Paul, you're still going to play as planned. This is a magic telescope to assist in the investigation, and the specific usage is ......"
"Alice knows, Alice knows! Hmph, let me tell you!"
When I was about to introduce the purpose of the telescope, Lori, a werewolf who had a good time these days, snatched it up.
"Uncle Bones has been working on this thing lately. Actually, if you align these two smaller holes with your pupils, you can see far away. Also, the slightly larger two holes can be twisted to adjust the distance you see. ”
Then, Alice's eyes lit up as she played.
While I was excited to introduce the revised version of the telescope 2.0 that I had improved and can adjust the distance between the objective lens and the eyepiece.
"It doesn't take magic to do this kind of effect. I've been curious before, not only do you have a special way of thinking and acting, but you can also make such a powerful magic item, Lord Ashin, you are really ...... Unfathomable. ”
After Alice's explanation, Paul, who quickly understood how to use it, sighed with feeling.
Hearing Paul say this, Ah Shu, who was sitting opposite him, also played with interest.
"Well, it's a fun prop. Even the concubine body couldn't understand why a simple combination could achieve such a magical effect, and the magic items that didn't need magic power to run were almost like the results of a completely extinct ultra-ancient magic empire. ”
Hmph, otherwise how can I say that I am a traverser.
Even though I was paid a lot of money, I didn't stop developing my products. In order to research the small thread mechanism that can change the distance of the lens, I also went to the local blacksmith shop to learn some basic building skills.
- No, now is not the time to indulge in a sense of joy, I digress.
"You can also see the specific information of the sealing location, because Paul has to participate in the game in the afternoon, so he can't participate. Then, in fact, today in the final of the qualifiers for the castle lord election, I have a good idea. ”
After slapping the table and drawing everyone's attention from the telescope.
"It's something that can only be done in the afternoon, and if the plan goes well, we can easily rule out one of the most difficult locations to investigate. The target is the treasure vault of the City Lord's Mansion of Rixel!"
I said to all of you who looked puzzled.
"I've got the necessary props to plan everything. The necessary factor for the success of this plan lies with you, and then Alice can only grieve you a little, and then she only needs to ...... like this"
