Master SSS-Class Magic Swordsman

Another suspicion021.

●

The next day, the Royal Capital's Guild Hall- The master's office inside.

The current Master of the Hunter Guild, ‘Drabeth Glue’, had some tension.

It was because of the two legends in front of him.

The current head of Phoenix. A man who made countless military achievements, including the subjugation of the Mother Mage 10 years ago.

Recognized for his achievements by the royal family, he is the ruler of Eugracia - the strongest man who has established himself as the ‘Golden Knight’. 'Gareth Allite Phonics'.

And a man who belongs to the Phoenix family and works as Gareth's closest aide.

It is the pinnacle of dungeon capture, and the hunter and ‘sword god’ who was once the most influential as a guild master than Draves. "Alberto Cheros".

None of them were easy for Draves to deal with.

No, no one in this country can treat these powerful people recklessly.

position if position. Powerless if powerless. Intelligence is intelligence.

It is the 10th noble phoenix that does not bow to anything.

Even if Draves is the Master of the Hunter Guild, the weight of these Phoenixes is different.

‘It means that your body naturally trembles when these two are in front of you.’

More than that, Draves respects them.

The trembling of the body could be called a tremor.

So, in order not to be rude to the two of them, Drabeth was going to pick his horse.

“-I mean that. I think it will be difficult to send a large number of people to subdue the ‘Tomb Cave’ dungeon, so please understand.”

Before Drabeth, Gareth opened his mouth.

Contrary to Draves' attitude, Gareth was sitting quite lightly.

The same goes for Alberto. Draves is savoring the tea that she has chosen over and over again. Looking at his face, he seems to have passed.

A simple cake is placed next to the tea.

The only sweet thing is Alberto who doesn't eat well.

Because of this, Draves gave Gareth and Alberto different flavors of cake.

....... Then Gareth snatched Alberto's and ate it.

Alberto looks at Gareth as if he were an immature brother.

Of course, this attitude is shown by acknowledging Draves.

If this place had been a leader with a normal relationship, they would not have even made eye contact with the intimidation of Gareth and Alberto.

“It’s okay, Gareth. Is it unavoidable? Our Hunter Guild also feels very sorry for this situation, and we will continue to investigate-”

“It’s a long talk. All you have to do is say, ‘Attempt assassination, you bastard!’”

“Drabeth has been a sincere friend since long ago.”

“Let’s relax a little and let’s go.”

“Excessive subtraction in front of two people is not accustomed to me either.”

At Draves' shy words, the three people's light laughter echoed in the room.

Immediately, Draves smiles and moves on to the main point.

It was about his most important issue at the moment.

“Then, can I talk about the Mother Mage again?”

“I’m here to talk about it.”

Watching Gareth holding up a teacup, Draves continued his speech.

“Did you say that ‘internal information’ was leaked?”

Insider information - it's not exactly grandiose.

‘Children’s outing information’. That's all the story.

But, of course, I didn't go there by notifying them somewhere.

It is normal for information about going out not to be revealed.

However, according to Eud and Eliri, the 'Gnome'-Mother Mage knew.

The fact that Tiana, Selena, and Eud are going out with an escort.

“I’m going to say it cautiously.”

Draves gives Gareth some rude comments.

“There is a possibility that there is someone inside the mansion who has spread information about the Mother Mage. We have to review it.”

That is - traitor.

That was a pretty sensitive matter.

But it was also a possibility that should not be overlooked.

Because, there is no way for this to be 'from the inside out'.

Of course, Draves' words now do not just focus on betrayal.

Perhaps, some of the users may have accidentally leaked information to the outside (for example, chatting or chatting with an outsider who temporarily visited).

Moreover, in that case, following the leaked route, you may reach the location of the mother mage.

For Draves, it was an opinion that considered both sides of it.

This is clearly an event that is difficult to happen without an ‘information provider’ or ‘information acquisition method’.

It was a story that came up 10 years ago.

Gareth nodded his head as if satisfied with Drabeth's words.

Apparently, he liked the fact that he did not care about his position and expressed his opinion.

“I don’t know if I’ll convince you, but it’s not.”

However, Gareth briefly denied Drabeth's words.

“But, Gareth. I have heard that the Phoenix family has a deep trust with its users, but-”

“I am not talking about an emotional story. Draves. No matter how much we trust it, we have already considered it.”

"already.......?"

Gareth gave Alberto a slight wink.

“On Gareth-sama’s order, last night, Lorona-sama saw ‘the eyes of all the servants in the mansion’.”

“Lorona-sama . . . in the eyes of his wife.”

"okay. It's the Cattleya family's 'magic eye'."

maan.

It is said to be genetically inherited from a certain family, and is an unusual eye with magic.

The Cattleya family is the most famous family for its magic eyes.

Gareth's wife, former 'Lorona Cattleya'. Among them, she has a magical eye that can see the flow of a person's inner-image.

Drabeth couldn't understand for sure, but she could see through lies and malice according to the natural flow of a person.

As a result, in the past, Lorona was a shunned entity within her native Cattleya family.

Even in Cattleya, where many magical eyes are created, this is because it is a very specific magic eye.

Being able to detect lies or emotions at any time, as well as the users, parents, and brothers have been reluctant to live.

I met Gareth as a young man who came to Cattleya to talk for a while while living alone in the mansion room.

Then, they completely met each other in the mansion, and after years of passionate love, they finally entered the honeymoon- .... It's a story that's not important now.

“Lorona-sama, don’t use your magic eyes as much as possible.”

“I haven’t written anything about it except for the first time I used it for the ‘third’ who came to the mansion recently.”

It is said to be a problem of trust with users or close associates.

He was suspicious of those who worked for the mansion and did not want to see them.

Knowing that heart, even the users of Four Enix were not afraid to come out and make eye contact with her.

Of course, the strictness is always the same even without magic eyes.

Roro, who had such a belief, looked at her users with magical eyes.

“I checked all the users,” she said. without any exception. Regardless of trust, age, length of service, everything. Starting with her youngest, Feria, the maid, the butler, the engineer, the Four Enix Hunter team, and—”

Alberto put his hand on his chest as if to bow.

“Me and Joan, the user manager, are no exception.”

In other words, even the closest people who have been with Gareth for decades were all suspicious.

Draves unconsciously swallowed the saliva.

“As a result, no one leaked information.”

“Of course, I don’t know what it would be like to go to the realm of the unconscious. At least, there was no sign of lying to the users Rorona saw.”

Gareth said with a slightly bitter smile.

“It’s the result of my wife’s checking, even as she undermined her trust with her employers. So I trust our users. Trust Alberto, trust Joan. And... I trust Lorona the most,”

“……With that kind of evidence, I can’t argue any more.”

As if overwhelmed by Gareth's words, Drapeth nodded his head.

However, if this happens, he will not know why he knew that the children were going out.

In simple terms, it would be ‘I saw it by chance while monitoring the mansion from the outside’, but……

‘In that case, considering the distance from the incident that happened yesterday morning. After all, the time is just right.’

The murder of the dawn took place in a completely different city from Phoenix.

Considering the travel time, it's not impossible, but it's tight.

Rather, he knew all about ‘information that is not yet known to the outside’, and even about his adoptive son, Eud Hollite Phonics.

In order for the Mother Mage to continuously cause events on both sides, securing information would inevitably be required.

“How was it really leaked……”

“So it is. I just denied the opinion that I was a traitor, but I was fully considering the ‘information leak’.”

"Yeah?"

Isn't the story a bit out of place?

Then Draves understood the very intent.

“-Gares-sama is saying that ‘an external third party’ is secretly stealing information?”

“That’s it. I'd rather be an eavesdropper than a spy."

Gareth grinned, and Alberto picked up a refreshment fork.

“Alberto.”

"Yes."

At Gareth's call, Alberto nodded his head as if indifferent.

That moment-

Phaeae!!

Tae-ae!!

The fork in his hand flew like an arrow at once.

“-!!”

“I never heard of seeing it this way. surely-"

Alberto's fork hit the wall in the office.

.......with some bugs.

“‘The Insect Master’. There was talk of being in a distant country. You will really see it.”

Gareth got up and walked towards the wall.

He then pulls out his fork and takes a curious look at the little bug embedded in it.

“There is also a magical reaction.”

“You mean you were looking at this room as a bug?!”

“Sharing vision or sharing hearing is possible.”

“Yesterday, we found some flying bugs in the mansion that are suspected of being a bug magician.”

Gareth threw the worm's corpse on the table and returned to his seat.

“Draves. Mother Mage's helpers certainly exist. It's the same as 10 years ago. So let's investigate that as well. Because he's "injured now", the fewest to track. I sent a message to other families to beware of the worm magician’s work.”

“Al, I see. I will do it soon!”

Drabeth hurriedly pulls out a piece of paper from her work desk and writes down his message.

Although it writes quickly, the clean black letters stand out.

Alberto, who had no tableware to use next, turned his head slightly.

“I’ll have to ask for a new fork too. .........Ibosho, Gareth-sama. Please do not continue to steal my refreshments without dignity. What the hell is a person who has grown old enough to do it?”

“Whoa haha ​​(mum hum hum).”(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

Alberto nagged at Gareth, who stole the refreshments again.

If this happens, the refreshments will disappear before the new fork arrives.

The Draves side asked the guild staff to add refreshments along with a fork.

"right. Draves.”

“Yes, Gareth.”

Draves, who gave a command to the guild staff, turned to Gareth's call.

“Could you please listen to my request from now on?”

“Of course, Gareth. What are you doing?”

Draves was a little surprised by that, but gladly accepted it.

“Can you recommend some decent wizards?”

"Moderately.......?"

“Another appropriate word.”

Alberto nags once more at Gareth's adequacy.

And Draves knows.

When Gareth refers to ‘moderately good’ here, he means a wizard with considerable skills.

'Mother Mage' - Two days after the attack of a presumed being.

Eud slyly got up from the bed. He then leaves the room with the sound as low as possible.

The wounds were almost healed. In fact, should I say that almost all of them are better?

However, Joan and the maids still insisted not to move recklessly.

Thanks to that, I'm careful because I'm afraid I'll hear something if I'm caught out of the room.

“What are you doing! You said that if you don't rest today, you'll be scolded!?"

“Hey!”

heard right away

When she turned her head in surprise, Marie, the maid, was looking at her with an angry face.

He puts a wagon full of clothes that had been washed next to him and walks in stride.

“That’s, that- I mean-”

When Eud tries to make an excuse while shaking his bandaged arm,

"-Ahaha, I'm joking, Mr. Eud. The room is a little cramped, isn't it?"

Marie immediately smiled and stroked Eud's head.

Only then does she realize that this maid was joking.

Among the maids, Marie is the most playful.

Besides, she's a decent storyteller even among maids, or she always leads bets on something.

I remember being told that she had such an entertainer's temperament.

If the lights in the maid's dormitory don't go out until dawn, it's all Marie's fault.

“Huh, I’ll keep it a secret. But where are you going, Eud?”

Marie asked, tidying up Eud's messy hair.
