How weak human beings are, this is the thing that human beings themselves know best, and it is precisely because they know best that they can get better little by little.

At least that's what Jonathan thinks.

Lucia quickly lost interest in talking about the strength and weakness of human beings, and to be honest, humans are all right, and compared to such inconsequential things, Lucia had a good idea.

"Anyway, this piece doesn't belong to anyone else, so let's just take it down and use it as a stronghold. ”

Originally, it was most convenient to occupy the developed land, but Lucia felt that it was better to abide by the basic politeness of first-come, first-served, and besides, Lucia had no idea of going to war with anyone.

The hegemony mode is too cumbersome, more troublesome than building a stronghold from scratch, and even if you can rule the human kingdoms, it doesn't make much sense.

"That's not going to work. ”

Jonathan was secretly smug in his heart, and when the eldest lady noticed the point of 'territory without masters', Jonathan was ready to develop into such a situation.

"It is said that there is no owner, but in fact there have been unofficial managers for a long time. ”

Jonathan fanned the wind with the palm of his hand, and found that not only did it not get cooler, but the consumption of physical strength increased, so Jonathan stopped this senseless action, and simply lay down on the driver's seat, anyway, the four beasts and horses were too well-behaved, even if they didn't, no one would watch it.

"There is a profession called 'adventurer,'"

The moment she heard the word 'adventurer', Lucia instantly came to her senses, and she no longer leaned on the edge of the window, she leaned out of the window directly. There was a look of interest in his eyes.

"Oooh!"

That's the 'adventurer'? the darling of fiction, the-stirring stick of the world. The raison d'être is vague and far-fetched, but there is always a large number of adherents. To put it simply, it is the easiest profession to use your imagination.

Not realizing what terrible consequences his words would be, Jonathan lazily continued.

"These so-called adventurers, whose work is similar in nature to mercenaries, are almost as long as they have money, but they are more reliable than mercenaries in terms of morality and credibility. ”

"So these adventurers have taken over the land I fancied?

It didn't matter if there was a reason, Lucia was just trying to find a reason to mess around with the adventurers.

- Have you already decided that it belongs to you?!Because the eldest lady can't see it, Jonathan rolls his eyes openly.

"It's not occupying, because there are many monsters in this area. In addition, it would be more convenient to act without the constraints of the state, so the adventurers' union funded the construction of a small stronghold transit station here. ”

After a pause, Jonathan explained more carefully.

"The Adventurer's Guild is a general organization similar to the adventurer's, it has no nationality, but it has a lot of power in various countries, and the adventurers who join the Adventurer's Guild will be subject to a certain amount of control, but they can also get the help and protection of the guild. ”

Jonathan couldn't say it clearly, there was no way, and his knowledge of adventurers and the adventurers' guild was only half-understood. Because Khiva is not in the area that adventurers value, after all, Khiva does not have so much oil and water to attract these vultures, but there are more people who go away to become adventurers.

"That is to say......"

Lucia tilted her head and nodded her lips. I thought about a statement that Jonathan's mind could understand.

"So we're not dealing with scattered monsters, but with planned copies?"

Jonathan didn't understand what the 'scattered monsters' and 'dungeons' were talking about, but he still heard the battle intent in the eldest lady's tone. He quickly denied it.

"Why do you have to fight with adventurers?!"

――I don't understand the eldest lady's train of thought at all, could it be that I have had a holiday with adventurers before? Jonathan, who is quite normal, guessed the answer relatively normal. So he was not destined to guess.

"What stupid are you talking about?"

Lucia let out a voice of disbelief.

"Why do you have to fight? Of course it's because they're adventurers! ”

Lucia spoke loudly, and her firm tone was not at all suspicious.

Because it's an adventurer. That's why you have to fight.

Jonathan said that the logic in this is simply dead, and there is no relationship at all!

No, that's not going to work! If this continues, the group of innocent adventurers will be wiped out for very unjust reasons! And it happened to be Jonathan himself who first mentioned this stubble...... There's no way to see death without help.

Jonathan tried to hold his breath, but probably because the sun was so warm, he couldn't think of a solution.

While Jonathan was struggling to squeeze his pathetic wisdom, Lucia's whim had shifted its course.

"But it doesn't have to be a fight, there are other interesting ways to get involved. ”

Lucia was starting to get bored again, only her own high interest couldn't last long, and after all, she didn't really find it fun to fight adventurers, as I said before, it was just a whim, and three minutes of heat was a matter of course.

Jonathan, who was still thinking, suddenly encountered a 180-degree turn, which almost made his brain stuck.

A kind of grievance that seems to have been brushed by someone grows in Jonathan's heart, but he also knows that the eldest lady is such a character, and he doesn't mean to play anyone, so Jonathan ...... It's even more aggrieved.

Unbeknownst to Jonathan's glass heart, Lucia retracted into the carriage and returned to her lazy state, swaying her hands hanging out of the window, sharing her thoughts with Jonathan.

"Maybe there will be a beautiful girl adventurer who is encountering a big crisis on the line of life and death, and we just happened to pass by, and after helping out, it was logical to get the love of the beautiful girl adventurer...... Something like that. This is a fixed plot in the novel, and the chance of it happening will be higher, right?"

"No way, no way. ”

Jonathan replied almost immediately.

"Leaving aside the possibility of such coincidences, it is impossible to talk about geographical location alone. ”

It's not that Joansen is at odds with Lucia, but there is a solid reason.

"You must know that although this is a dangerous area where demonic beasts are rampant, it is actually in the shape of a long strip, and it only takes about three days to cross this line, so how stupid it must be to encounter a 'big crisis' in such a place. ”

If there were such people, Jonathan would have liked to see them. (To be continued.) )
