"The latest intelligence suggests that Gustan has been hiding in Tania. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"So our allies failed in the end?"

"They're still looking for it, and it doesn't seem like they've given up yet......"

"Why, what do you mean...... Do they need our help? ”

"No, but ...... They need our cover, and if we don't address this potential threat, you and I won't be at ease. ”

“……”

"The situation in the city has stabilized again, and opening some convenient doors is just a matter of effort......

"Recently, the number of adventurers in the city has begun to increase again, and there was a large group of adventurers who went out last night, seemingly spontaneously participating in the action against the Empire...... We have enough instability. ”

"That's why we should win allies. As for those who take risks...... We should continue to put pressure on Felistone to discipline the unruly untouchables......"

"Adventurers don't change because of anyone's discipline, and we've experienced it countless times ourselves! Don't let our feet loose because we have the advantage we have now, which will cost us our own fate, or rather...... Have we reached the point where we can suppress strife at will? ”

"Don't forget...... We still have a Pamir that has not been solved yet. ”

"Pamir...... It's time to start dealing with this final nail. ”

"The situation is not completely on our side, we have a lot of other threads that need to be cut, if we start the plan now...... Variables will appear even more. ”

“…… I'll tell the fox to speed up his progress so that he doesn't have too many dreams at night. ”

"Especially the members of the civilian faction, they are the members who are most likely to repent, and they must be appeased."

"But...... According to our understanding, the rise of those parliamentarians was almost secretly promoted by the speaker, and as long as Pamir is not there, they should not make any waves. ”

"Should we do it in sync?"

“…… We should discuss this possibility. ”

"Okay, I'll let the pressure continue in two days, until then...... Let's discuss the reactions of these people together. ”

"And the adventurers in the city...... If all goes well, then their presence is about to become our biggest stumbling block. ”

"Or the biggest magic bomb ......"

"It should be handled as properly as possible."

"Even the most powerful local adventure groups are not monolithic with each other and within, let alone adventurers who help us, as long as we promise heavy profits and a little guidance, we may be able to sit back and wait for a good show......

"It's easier if that's the case, but among them...... There are still a few tricky ones. ”

“…… Who are you referring to? Is it the boss of the rivers and lakes, or the one who fought us the other day? ”

"According to recent information, the leader of the adventure group named Jianghu has recently disappeared and seems to be busy with other things, and now it is another adventure group named the Sword of Justice who replaces them on the front line. As for the other person...... He and his companions had recently tried to return to the city to continue their previous search. ”

"The Taling Cathedral the night before yesterday...... Is that the same person? ”

"Judging by the results...... Yes, because few people have survived Tuvit's electric magic. ”

"Make him a priority and try not to let him near important places when necessary...... It's up to you, Tyken. ”

"As long as the plan is carried out smoothly, it's not a big deal, for the sake of ...... Glory of the Empire. ”

"For the glory of the Empire."

******************************

"Why do we listen to the orders of the Empire? We should stand up and give them a tough response! ”

"Come on, Congressman Vincent, can't you face up to the defeat of Fars Fortress? Dusk has not dared to come back and face parliamentary scrutiny until now, do you want to be next? ”

"Then, that can't accept such a condition, a whole half of the members of the council, plus so many high-ranking officials, and have to hand over the speaker of the council, how can we accept such a condition?"

"At least we can talk, and President Hossman hasn't spoken until now, and that old fellow Forts hasn't said a single ......"

"What do you want to say, Councillor Harry? Do you want us to follow them? ”

"No, but ...... We have to think about how to deal with the consequences of their agreement to this proposal. ”

"The proposal will not pass! No way! ”

"Don't jump to conclusions so confidently, at least partially...... Maybe it's really a problem, haven't you seen some of the people on the list who haven't shown up much lately? ”

"How is that possible? Do you mean that the Speaker also has a problem? ”

"Don't mess around! You know what I mean......"

"Stop, Coles, and Harry, don't doubt your fellow man......"

"The Speaker can't come forward now, and we can't prove their innocence! Will you vouch for us with your life in all the city of Tanya? ”

"What are you talking about......

"Stop arguing!"

On the second floor of Valletta Hospital, the door of a noisy ward was suddenly opened, and a woman in a white nurse's uniform put her hands on her waist, violently suppressing the cries of the big people crowded in the room: "How many more times do you want me to warn?" The patients here also need to rest! It's only eight o'clock in the evening, but we have already received three complaints from the patients around us, how long are you going to quarrel here? ”

"Please go out and discuss something!"

"But, but ......"

"Nothing!" In the crowd that separated automatically, the angry nurse crossed the road between them, came to the side of the hospital bed, and then made a chasmo-like posture with one arm in a pair of smiling eyes: "It's so late that you don't go back, do you want to keep vigil for me?" Is there anything you can't talk about tomorrow? Walk around, walk around, walk ......."

"But we still have problems......"

"If you are still worried about anything, please come to our emergency room to register, although it is not a project that we are good at, but we are currently receiving psychotherapy ......"

"It seems...... You like this girl very much. ”

Looking at the crowd that was gradually moving away under the efforts of the woman, Pamir slowly withdrew his gaze, and next to the root of his ears, the voice of a fat man sounded again: "Those councillors didn't listen to their words......

"It's not something I can handle right now."

Pamir replied peacefully, then pondered for a moment: "...... You go and tell them that although my injuries are almost healed, I am not currently in the job, so before I am discharged...... Don't discuss anything like that in front of me. ”

"Even if I had an opinion, it wouldn't make any difference now." He laughed and said, "They're wasting their time."

"Horsman's affairs, don't you care?" The fat man didn't walk away immediately, but looked back at the other party's face: "What if that old guy's brain is really pumped?"

“…… I'm willing to make sacrifices for the future of the Principality, but that's for another time. Pamir said meaninglessly: "It's not your turn to mention this yet, you ...... Do you understand? ”

After looking at each other again for a while, the fat man finally shook his head, and then walked towards the far side of the ward while emphasizing something loudly to the black-clothed guard guarding the door. Pamir, who had become a man again, exhaled a little leisurely, and then brought the proposals brought by the parliamentarians and appeared in the parliament before him to himself: "Hmm...... Fars war reports, the defense of the small town of Anta, and the routine protests in the city...... Isn't there any news that has nothing to do with the war? ”

Reluctantly, he threw the page in his hand aside, put his hands behind his head, and the speaker lay quietly on the hospital bed behind him, and then in the increasingly quiet atmosphere, he suddenly let out a long sigh that seemed to be talking to himself: "Finally, ......"

"It's still you adventurers."

"Hossman was a supporter of my reuse of adventurers, at least until the outbreak of the war, he did not give any opinion to my ideas, and the situation is ...... I can't think of any other reason for him than to make compromises. ”

"I am not afraid of death." He said quietly, "What if...... If the principality is still the original principality. ”

The dim light made the silence of the room even more obvious, but the man lying on the hospital bed didn't seem to stop: "After two assassinations, I also felt that deep malice...... There seemed to be people within the Empire and the Duchy who didn't want to see me continue to live, which forced me to do some deep reflection on what I had done and the promises I had made. ”

"Which initiative is causing the outrage? Is it true that there is no room for adventurers in their eyes? ”

He smiled and closed his eyes: "No, it shouldn't be like this, in the hundreds of years since the destruction of the Magic Empire, there has never been a case of adventurers in power, not only because their identity and ability are not high enough, but also because they themselves are not united enough."

"They...... No, you weren't born to be rulers. He tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Adventure, treasure, and heroic deeds...... These are the things where you belong. ”

"No, no, no, as one of them, there is one thing I still want to clarify."

In the deep night sky outside the window, Duan Qing's voice appeared like a meteor: "We just like that sense of accomplishment, whether it is the power of being a strong man or the power of a hegemon."

“…… Why don't you come in and sit down? ”

"If you want to."

Still wearing the same black cloak, Duan Qing's figure quietly appeared in the room, and then sat on a seat somewhere in the corner of the ward before the shaking window was about to close...... That's another question. ”

"We still have a reason to do this." He lowered his head: "Rule the principality...... Or change the things of the principality. ”

"That's why I'm unanimously opposed?" Pamir still looked at the ceiling quietly, as if Duan Qing's arrival was not beyond his expectations: "Just because you will become a potential threat to them?"

"So far, they've only subconsciously thought so." Duan Qing spread his hands helplessly: "But ...... You don't need to think about things like killing people very thoroughly, sometimes it's just that I don't like you...... That's enough. ”

"I've been in power for a few years, and I don't think I have left such a bad image on the world." Pamir, who was lying on the bed, shook his head slowly: "Is it just because of a bill that I am labeled a rebel?"

"Or a revolutionary, or ...... It's not your fault in the first place. Duan Qing's voice was full of disdain and indifference: "It's like we've always insisted that there's nothing wrong with us."

“…… So why exactly? ”

"Do you have to figure it out?"

"If we don't answer this question, how can we solve the situation at hand?"

"I'd love to answer that for you, too, but I haven't figured it out...... Much more than I know now. ”

Duan Qing's arms were propped up on his knees: "The lack of intelligence is also a big reason why the problem cannot be solved."

"Intelligence?" Pamir's eyes widened: "What do you want to know?"

"Originally, I wanted to get straight to the point." Duan Qing hid his chin in his raised hands: "But it depends on your current situation...... I probably won't get an answer either. ”

"Is that what you're here for tonight......"

"I've visited a lot of places today." Duan Qing replied in a deep voice, "The Adventurer's Association, the Warrior's House, the Black Market, the Library...... And, of course, there were the Shadow Society, none of whom made direct contact with me to answer my questions. It wasn't until I went to the council hall and learned something that I thought of you, who had not yet been discharged from the hospital, and the fat man who was still by your side. ”

"The so-called list...... What exactly? Duan Qing asked in a low voice, "And the reason for war that you have been concealing, what is it?"

“…… Now, it doesn't seem to make sense to hide it. Pamir sighed and said, "The Empire accuses our principality of harboring thugs and creating and shielding criminals who attack the borders, and the current list is naturally the culprit they demanded to hand over."

"Of course, the people on the list were 'investigated' by them." Looking at Duan Qing's eyes that were still full of suspicion, Pamir smiled bitterly: "There are ...... They believe that there are people who need to be held responsible for this war. ”

"That's why you're at the top of the list?" Duan Qing asked in a low voice, "Will you agree?"

"At the moment, it seems that there is a big possibility." Pamir replied in a low voice: "And...... Hossman also seems to have a tendency to agree. ”

"Has Hossman been lobbying lately?"

"Yes, he wants to call everyone together to resist the invasion of the Empire......"

"Do you still think he's doing it?"

“…… What did you say? ”

"What's underneath Tania City?"

“……”

"I tried to approach the hall of the council three times and twice, but in the end I was always stopped by some unknown person, and later I was even wanted by the whole of Tania for this strange reason...... Why is that? ”

"This ......"

"Who gave the order for the transfer of the city guards?"

“……”

"You should know that Tasker is stationed in the village of Taran, right? But do you know how many guards he took with him? ”

“…… What are you trying to express? ”

"You see, our problems have changed."

Looking at Pamir's increasingly serious face, Duan Qing's expression also became subtle: "There are so many things that you and I don't know, and there are so many problems that we haven't figured out, and I want to make a correct judgment in such a situation...... It's simply impossible. ”

“…… It's a pity, but I've been in the hospital for this time, so ......"

"Then I'll ask you a question you know." Duan Qing suddenly interjected and asked, "Where is Horsman's residence?"

“…… Well? ”

"You tell me the location, and I'll investigate it myself."

Duan Qing looked at the other party and stood up: "Maybe ......"

"Your and my problems will be solved."
