The White Wolf tribe is an ethnic minority living in the hinterland of the North Continent. The Adventurers Guild had posted a bounty. So, they had been unreasonably persecuted.
Therefore, the White Wolfs bought the necessary supplies with the help of their collaborators and carried them to the village where they were based.
We have now secretly escaped Norte Boden, the largest city on the North Continent, and joined the White Wolf Advance Corps to carry the necessary supplies.
We had breakfast in an igloo made of snow blocks.
The main food was preserved food. Dried at, pickled vegetables, sothing like a slightly hard camp bread. After eating, I took tea with a mysterious fruit jam.
[It is tasty.]
Chris, the sweet judge, smiled and drank the tea. No points were given. Apparently, the jamd tea did not fall into the category of sweets for the demons.
The inside of the igloo was wider than I expected. The magical light on the ceiling illuminated the room. There were many carpets on the floor, so I didnt get cold at all. The room was very warm, probably because the human body temperature was high.
The igloo was easy to use by the white wolf. A large amount of snow was piled up around it, and it could be easily broken when it was no longer needed. Yet it was sturdy enough to withstand a snowstorm.
We were seated drinking the jamd tea when Ice appeared on the igloo. She had previously reported to the person in charge of the advance team.
She imdiately chased to the point.
The point was
"I'd like to ask Peacemaker to do a quest. I want you to kidnap Am Norte Boden Smith, the eldest son of Toruo Norte Boden Smith."
Tension ran in the room.
That's no surprise. Suddenly, I was asked to kidnap the eldest son of an aristocrat in the largest city on the North Continent.
But for , the na "Am" was a little more caught than the noisy word "abduction." Like I heard sowhere recently
Perhaps she expected our reaction, Ice imdiately added so words.
"First of all, don't get wrong, but we don't want you to commit a cri. Am and we, the White Wolf, have been interacting with each other for a long ti and have a friendly relationship."
"Why did you make a noisy request for kidnapping?"
"Because the soldiers guarding him have Toruos sll on them. Not all of them, but I can't tell who is from Toruos faction. They dont let et Sir Am. "
Certainly, the White Wolf tribe, who had been chased for the prize money, could not be t easily.
"that's why, I want you to take Sir Am out and create a place to talk with us. If you have the ability to start up, you can take Sir Am out without shedding unnecessary blood, right? To be honest, I think a lot of blood will flow if we do it. We don't have that kind of experience. "
"We have never kidnapped a key person from a castle. What would we do if we were surrounded by a large number of people?"
I once helped Chris' mother, Lady Silas, who was imprisoned in the castle with Snow, but it was because I knew the inside of the castle and there was a hidden passage. In addition, it was before the legion was created.
Ice turned back with a face of "reaction as expected".
"We're not going to ask you so much. First, after graduating from Sorcerer's school, Sir Am has been traveling around the world. But I got the information that Sir Am will be back soon. And his friends will set up a banquet to celebrate his return. I want you to attack at the ti the carriage went back."
I see, it wouldnt be that difficult to attack and take out a carriage.
It's annoying that the opponent is a magician, but there are several ways to neutralize it without killing him.
"But what would you do after the successful kidnapping? If the negotiations broke down, would you take the eldest son hostage?"
"No. Rather, I can't do that because our position is really bad if we take hostages."
Ice told us about her plans after the kidnapping.
"I'm planning to have Sir Am have a daughter of the White Wolf tribe as a concubine."
"Huh?"
"If Am has a daughter of the White Wolf tribe he would be the backing of our clan. And no matter how much Toruo wants it, it's impossible to keep paying a bounty to the eldest son's concubine, right?"
Polygamy was not uncommon in this world. However, I felt disappointed when I was told face-to-face, "I will give my daughter as a concubine to be the backing of the clan."
Snow and the others were sohow convinced. It's not unusual in this world. However, I felt a little stuck.
The idea of helping many at the expense of the individual had a bad aftertaste, like sacrificing a living human being to calm the wrath of God.
I involuntarily asked.
"I think it's an effective way to get backing, but is the daughter to be married convinced? Although it is to help the clan, how to sacrifice ignoring her own will.""
"Yes, I'm convinced."
"Did you confirm it yourself?"
"No need of confirmation, I'm the one to marry."
"Is it ice cream?"
Sitting in front, she spoke while fingering her long straight hair.
"Yes, that's right. I've known Sir Am for a long ti, and I'm a childhood friend who has played with him many tis. Rather than a child who doesn't know him, it's easier for a childhood friend who knows his heart to understand Am, right? And if I beco Lord Am's concubine, it is my hope that everyone in the clan will be saved. I can only do it to help the clan. The white wolves can't abandon their comrades. Because I have also inherited the blood of such a clan"
Ice kept restlessly groping with her fingertips.
"If everyone in the clan is saved, I'm hoping for it." She said calmly, but it could be felt the heat of a girl in love. Isn't it a completely female face?
Oh, that's it. Ice was in love with her childhood friend Am.
Her mouth said that she didnt care anymore about her childhood friend, instead, it was for the clan Rather, she had given up on her unfulfilled romance because of obstacles such as her race and status, but she had a reason to wipe away all that and marry.
As for Ice, she could fulfill her love and save her clan. Probably it is a very old feeling.
I felt like I'd lost my worries. Ice misunderstood my expression and offered so conditions
"Of course, the Adventurers Guild won't let through, but I'll ask you as a quest, so I'll pay a fair reward. If you don't have enough supplies, I will be as flexible as possible and help you. And"
She put out a trump card.
"If you bring Am safely, I'll tell you about Snow's parents."
"!?"
Hey Didn't Ice said, "If you go to the White Wolf Village, there may be soone who know?" However, I had determined why there was already information here.
Perhaps there was soone in the squad who knew about Snow's parents when she reported us to the advanced squad leader.
She put it out as a trump card for negotiations.
I an I didn't think that such a condition would co out. However, no matter how much information is given about Snow's parents, is it okay to kidnap an aristocrat?
I looked at Snow and the others.
"I'm sorry but let talk with my friends a little."
"I don't mind. Ill wait outside so call out when the discussion is over. Would you like another tea?"
I asked everyone with my eyes. It seed they didnt need it.
"It's okay. If we want it on the way, can we call you?"
"I don't mind. Don't hesitate to call at that ti."
With that said, the Ice went out.
Inside the igloo, only Peacemakers mbers remain.
"So, what do we do? Do we receive Ices and the White Wolves request?"
"Of course, let's take it! We, PEACEMAKERS ARE SSENGERS OF JUSTICE WHO REACH OUT TO THOSE WHO ASK FOR HELP AND HAMR THE UNRIGHTEOUS WAYS! And with the power of Lord Lute, it wouldn't be impossible to kidnap a nobleman at most! "
Surprisingly, iya answered loud at the very beginning. Chris and the others agreed with her montum.
[As Miss iya says. We should take it for Sister Snow!]
"I agree. We certainly want information about Snow's parents, but her clan is in trouble. We can't overlook it."
"The opinion of the maid is that the answers of the young masters are her own will."
Snow wept at this answer.
"Thank you everyone! I'm really glad I t everyone!"
Chris and Liz hugged Snow's tearful hands and shoulders.
It was a beautiful sight. anwhile, iya spoke to Snow for a long ti.
"You don't need to thank us, Mrs. Snow. We are important mbers of the sa legionNo, we are the ones who adore, respect, and love Lord Lute! More than that, I couldn't realize the truth of the world because I didn't touch the majesty of Lord Lute. But now, I understand the wonder of Lord lute! Bone marrow, even one soul fragnt! Unlike newcors like , Snow is a big senior who noticed Lute's splendor, greatness, and genius earlier than anyone else! If you can help such a girl, this iya Dragoon, will drink the water of the lake! "
"Thank you, iya-chan"
Snow shed tears at iya's ardent lines.
"Gusu, I used to think that you were a disgusting person who said terrible things to Lute, but it was my misunderstanding. I'm sorry, I've always had a cold attitude"
"No, it's rather a natural attitude. If I go back to the past and take a similar attitude, I'll just hit myself in the past with ammunition and hit as many anti-tank mines as I can."
iya took out the handkerchief and presented it to Snow.
"So don't be afraid. And please be the most disciple of Lute and let iya Dragoon, your right arm and confidant, help you with a little effort."
"Yeah, let's do our best together, iya-chan!"
And this ti, four people hugged each other firmly. I looked at the scene that was moving with so calm eyes.
Why?
iyas series of actions looked slightly black
It feels like one was buried in the outer moat. I feel the air of a tactician from behind the hugging iya.
I could only see her back, but she seed to have a bad smile No, maybe it was because of ?
For the ti being, it was decided that we would receive the "Am Norte Boden Smith Kidnapping" quest from the White Wolf tribe.
