Section B, Chapter 23: Impostor and Flight (Lusha)

After a few more minutes of rambling conversation, the elf, who had always loved storytelling, finally had no topic to talk about.

"These two people haven't finished arguing yet!" sighed heavily, and Cyberdart's expression was as uncomfortable as eating: "I'm convinced...... Listen to what they're arguing about right now?"

Pricking up her ears, Lusha listened carefully: it seems...... It's dissatisfaction with each other's clothing. And after a few seconds, they began to complain about how tasteless the wine they were drinking.

"What kind of mess is it? These things can be used to make noise, no matter how you look at it, it's a topic that you don't have to make up when you don't have to make noise. I wonder if they remember why they got into the fight in the first place. With a wry smile, the elf shook his head: "Uh...... Even I don't remember. ”

Indeed, what was the reason for the quarrel in the first place? was also confused, and Lutha thought hard: "It seems to be because of the dumplings...... I forgot why. ”

"Forget it, it's just a boring stumbling stumble anyway, and the reason doesn't matter. With a serious expression of a philosopher, the elf cleared his throat: "As the saying goes, quarrels don't solve the problem......"

"What's next?" Waiting for the elf to finish, Lusa couldn't stand the gasp.

“...... Forget, that doesn't matter. It seemed that it was completely made up by himself, and the elf coughed heavily to hide his embarrassment: "Ahem...... Anyway, let's start practicing in a while, there's no need to wait for them. I'll have to take you to the lighthouse in a moment. ”

"Shall we just go?" Despite the proximity, Lusa became excited: it had been a long time since she had traveled with an elf.

"If you want to, I'm fine. Raising the stick made of the leather whip in his hand, Saibodat looked at the slowly falling snow and slight frost wind, and listened to the noise of the dock with emotion: "Today's weather is rare and good, mainly because the wind is light. If the waves are not large, it is convenient to take a boat. ”

I almost forgot that there is a lighthouse quite far from here...... Looking at the lighthouse hidden in the snow and mist in the distant sea, Lusa was a little dazed: "That's right, elf. The captain of the guard, named Somer, wanted to ask his sister to help find out who the stolen goods belonged to. At the mention of this, Lusha was a little worried.

"Huh? This is the first time I've heard of it. He was drinking water, but this time he almost made the elf squirt out everything he had just drunk: "Why didn't he deal with it himself?

"Probably because he doesn't care about the next thing, and he thinks my sister is very powerful...... The ice prison and the cryotherapy are spectacular. After a moment's hesitation, Lusa whispered, "She didn't say yes at first, she didn't want to meddle in things." But when Sommer inadvertently suggests that there will be a reward for doing so, Lucina can't hold her breath. So ......"

"Understood. That's why she yelled, 'Leave it to me,' and found that she couldn't solve it, right?" Seeing Lusha nodding, the elf began to complain helplessly: "She's always like this! Don't say yes if you can't do it? I have to teach her a lesson this time, and I won't help her with the aftermath as usual. ”

"Hmm. But if it can't be done this time, it's a bit embarrassing at best. Smiling embarrassedly, Lusa asked curiously, "Cyberdart...... What should I do when this kind of thing happens?"

"Claiming stolen goods has always been a headache...... Because there will always be fraudulent claims. After pondering for a moment, the elf thought very seriously: "Hmm...... Claimants are usually asked to detail what they have lost before claiming their items. The problem is that some crooked people know what others have lost, and they claim it themselves. In this case, there may be a situation where one lost item corresponds to many lost owners. ”

"What then?" Hearing this, Lusha was very nervous: "If some impostor members unite to prove that they do not belong to a certain accomplice, then they will not be taken away by fraud." ”

"It will definitely be. But there's another way to do it - to have these people describe the look and feel of the lost item in as much detail as possible without seeing it. Whoever says it in more detail belongs to whomever goes. Shrugging his shoulders, the elf's expression was full of regret: "The lost object can't speak, so it's the only way to do it." Do you know why it is difficult for a junior knight to pretend to be a noble knight?"

"Why?" Lusa didn't know at all.

"The absence of family coats of arms and more ornate armor and swords was an external reason, but more importantly, they did not know much about heraldic genealogies and aristocratic habits. After a slight pause in his tone, the elf concluded his speech: "That's pretty much it. External things may be impersonated - such as removing equipment from a fallen knight. But inner temperament, knowledge, and so on cannot be faked. The same goes for claiming lost property. ”

"Well......" After pondering for a moment, Lusa was a little dizzy by the elf's example, "If only no one had taken it...... No hassle. ”

"It's possible if it's in Eloa. Here?" Shaking his head, the elf's face was full of 'no expectations': "The people of the port town are of uneven quality. It is impossible to expect everyone to be conscious. As for what your sister will do...... If she's proficient in illusion, it's all right. It is possible to control the people who come to claim to tell the truth. But she didn't know how to do illusions. ”

"My sister had said that Professor Manus, who had adopted her, thought she had no talent for illusion. After thinking about it, Aya said very seriously, "But she still tried to learn...... The result was really the same as Manus said. ”

"Talent has hurt a lot of people. At the mention of this, the elf was a little discouraged: "I obviously have a mana net, but I can't master the flying technique." ”

Elves have always wanted to fly with their own entities, I remember it well...... Stroking her cane, Lusa fell silent: Maybe it's because Aya can fly, she can understand Sebodart's yearning for flight: if you don't have wings, your daily life will be much monotonous, right?

She couldn't imagine life without wings.

"Not many people can learn to fly, and even few people can even levitate. Using the knowledge she had heard, Lusha hurriedly said, "You're not the only one who wants to fly. ”

"Yes. I'm actually able to fly with the help of Nalo. The elf tugged at his hat, but instead of the deer-hunting hat, it had been replaced by a top hat.

"Bought it last night. Noticing that Lusha was looking at the hat, the elf laughed, "Isn't it nice?"
