His words are polite. However, the voice is neither high nor low. I cant tell if it belongs to a man or a woman.
Not only the voice, but his gender also can not be determined with his mannerism. His mask probably possesses the sa effect as mine.
This person whose age, gender, or na can not be determined is Nona.
Business huh. You should already know what I want to say right?
You said it as if I set this up. I have taken a handoff approach regarding your inquiry you know. The Council simply succumbed to the pressure from the other countries, thats all.
My inquiry, huh.
Yes. it is as you guessed. I was the one who filed my complaint to the council regarding the Spirit Turtle incident. With all the incidents lately, you were the only one who gets the credit right.
So it was you after all.
Personally, I drew up a scenario where you beco fed up with the Empire and when the S-rank adventurers failed to subdue the Spirit Turtle, I would defeat it myself and replace you as the Empires sole SS-rank adventurer. Still, you sure flipped my expectations.
I guess I could say as expected of an SS-rank adventurer huh.
Even though he just admitted that he crossed , I couldnt feel any shred of fear from him at all. He is talking about it like it is soone elses business.
Thats a sha wasnt it.
Yes, it really was. Honestly, Sokol has already run out of patience with as well.
It was because you imdiately captured any dungeons they found right.
Dungeons are the most efficient thod after all. Most monsters will imdiately run away when they sense the power of my magic sword. There is no escape for them inside the dungeons you see.
So you only value Sokol because of their dungeons huh. Their citizens will cry if they hear that you know.
Im fine with letting them cry though. I hate them for all their demihuman discrimination anyway.
Hou? Hearing sothing honest like that from you is quite surprising. Then why have you based yourself inside their territory for so long?
Nona lightly shrugs at my words.
Was he serious or was he only acting? I cant tell. And I am quite good at telling such a thing apart too.
I do have my opinion about them but my goal is much more important to than my opinion. To make my magic sword stronger, I need more dungeons. Sokol empire is the only nation that took the initiative in discovering new dungeons and supporting the adventurers for capturing them. Thats all there is to it.
And they finally exhausted their usefulness so you decided to jump ship?
Yes. I hear that the Empire is a good country and I expect them to have a lot of unexcavated dungeons as well. The only problem I have is that the Guild wont allow 2 SS-rank adventurers to settle in the sa country.
I guess so. The Empire will probably dont allow it as well. Too much dicine can beco a poison after all.
Having adventurers to deal with monsters is like having dicine for your country. Among the adventurers, one could say that SS-rank adventurers are a particularly powerful drug. Having two in your country would be like swallowing a powerful poison instead.
Thats why in order to get the result Nona wants, he has no choice but to eliminate .
Exactly. You were an obstacle for who wanted to get in the Empire and now the Council has their eyes on you. The people of the Council favor relatively well so after the inquiry if I put in my request to relocate to the Empire, there should be no problem.
You think the Empire will allow that?
They will. With internal and external conflicts, they would have to be vigilant against monsters without the presence of an SS-rank adventurer. The Empire has been heavily ravaged by monsters these days and the overall quality of their adventurers is low. One could say that they are quite reliant on you to combat the monster threat.
Thats why they will accept .
Nona concluded.
I see. What a guy. It really shows how terrifying he is thinking that he put so much thought into his actions.
However.
You heard him? Miss Finne.
Yes. Unfortunately, the Empire does not accept you. Nona-sama.
Do you have the authority to say that? Miss Finne von Kleinert.
So you know.
Of course. The rare beauty with a blue seagull hair ornant. There is no reason not to notice your identity. However, thats a sha. It seems you are Silvers ally huh?
I was sent to the Adventurer Guild Headquarters as an Imperial Ambassador. My opinion is one with the Empire. Silver-sama has done his best for the sake of our country. We have no intention to accept the inquiry nor any attempt to remove Silver-sama.
Hou?
A noble lady.
That was probably how Nona viewed Finne but it seems that his opinion of her changed because of her reply.
Finne was not selected as an ambassador just because of her fa.
She has the skills required to be an ambassador and she has the experience of conducting the secret maneuvers with .
She should be able to handle even a minister of foreign affairs from another country.
If you do not accept then what do you plan to do? I think that your country is in quite a difficult position though?
It is exactly as you said. However, you have also contributed to said difficult situation as well.
I am sorry for that. I intend to make up for it with my work.
That is alright. Even if Silver-sama has to leave the Empire after the inquiry, there is already another SS-rank adventurer inside the Empire after all.
.Elder Egor huh. Im surprised that the old man is still in the Empire. But that old mans quirk is that he cant settle down in one place. I do not think that he will stay in the Empire for long.
That doesnt matter. Suppressing the rebels and intercept the foreign invasions. If he stays with the Empire until everything is over, then Silver-sama can return to the Empire again. If the Council is that prone to other countries pressure then after the conflict is over, I see no reason for them to not succumb to our pressure as well.
Egor is currently staying inside the Dwarven Village for Sonia.
He will stay with the Empire at least until Gordons rebellion is completely suppressed. What happens after that will depend on his mood but Finnes assessnt is correct.
If he can stay with us to that point then the Empire can just pressure the other countries to stop pressuring the Guild as the victorious country. If that happens, the Council will lose grounds to raise any complaints toward .
I am quite hated it seems.
That is a given with your goal is it not.
I simply want to create a magic sword that can surpass the Holy Sword though.
That is the sa as surpassing the Hero, the symbol of our country. As long as you have set such a goal for yourself then the Empire can not cooperate with you.
I see. You are quite a capable lady huh. By the way, Silver. The fact that you ca to ans that you have already gained the cooperation of the other SS-rank adventurers right?
Of course. You are the one that is the most unlikely to cooperate after all.
It is all to achieve my goal. I have nothing against you personally. But I understand. I will cooperate with you in this inquiry. Even if I choose to be on the Councils side, the vote can be overturned with 4 SS-rank adventurers. All I can do is only sway so council mbers who favor to my side but..I wouldnt want to be in their debt. It would all co to waste if it ends up interfering with my goal after all.
Saying so, Nona raises both of his hands as if to announce his surrender.
By bringing Finne with , I was able to remind him that the Empire would not accept Nona. Now he has no reason to not help .
Give up on the Empire and look for another country.
I will do that. However, it was not just because of the dungeons that I wanted to relocate to the Empire.
Hou?
It was because I want to confirm sothing that I wanted to go to the Empire. I want to see how much different my magic sword is from the current Holy Sword. That was what I wanted to know.
.You intend to pick a fight with the prodigy of the Brave house?
Please. I only wanted to see the Holy Sword with my own eyes. But you have already seen it havent you. Being as powerful as you are, you should be able to tell the difference between the power of my magic sword and the Holy Sword. Thats why what I ask in return for my cooperation is a match with you. Silver.
Saying so, Nona pointed his jet-black magic sword, the Dis Pater, at .
In the end, it has co to this huh
