237 235 Wheres Garth? (1/2)
Inn room in front of the guild.
”Then open the letter.”
”Mmm.”
'Oh, don't open it to such billies. We need to make it cleaner.'
When Fran breaks the billy and opens the seal, a bi-fold piece of paper emerges from inside.
When I opened it, it was a letter with Garth's signature on it. I guess I wrote it in a hurry, the letters aren't very pretty.
In the first part, I was ordered to take a request from a grand aristocrat, and I couldn't help but say no. Because of the confidentiality request, it says that we were unable to contact each other.
I can't get in touch now, or reveal where I exactly am. However, by the time this letter is read, I will be in the King's Capital. If you can, I want you to come to Wangdu to match the auction.
There will be a variety of weapons available for the arms auction, so you'll love it. And I'm going to make a new sheath, so I'd love you to take that, too. I look forward to coming to Wang Du.
That was the content.
Wang Du. Well, I was gonna go anyway, and you don't mind there.
”Sounds like you're not in Barbora anymore.”
”Mm-hmm. More reason to go to Wang Du”
”Right.”
And the next day. We were on our way to the Adventurer Guild to exchange information with Legs. I have some idea where Grandpa Garth is, but I might have some other information.
”Wait?
”No, I just got here too. He's got some information, too, right?
I hope that doesn't come with the information in the letter.
”I'm renting a room upstairs, let's move”
”Okay.”
You mean you can't let people hear you? Then you're going to be able to expect it there. In the private room of the Adventurer Guild, facing Legs.
”Silence”
”Oh, that's Princess Black Thunder. Wind magic is top notch.”
Keep the sound shut off with silence so you don't have to worry. Now you don't have to worry about being listened to.
”Well, it's Lord Garth's whereabouts... I didn't know exactly”
”Mm, I can't help it.”
Because even we don't know. What Legs then told me was that we both knew, at the request of the state, that he had left the town in secrecy.
”You seem to know this far. But how about this information? First of all, is Lord Garth supposed to have received a request from the state?
”Mmm.”
”It is the person of the Marquis Ashtoner family who has been in contact with Lord Garth to make that request. I did not know if the Marquis were receiving life from the country or if it was a request led by the Marquis itself...... I think the Marquis Ashtoner family is likely to be the client”
”Ashtoner? I've heard it somewhere”
Sergio's parents are Marquis Ashtoner.
(Grand aristocrat looking for divine sword?
”That's right.”
Naturally, the Marquis people should also be acting secretly to make a request confidentially, but the information network of the informants didn't seem to deceive them. It appears that he is an official of the Ashtoner Marquis, based on information that he is entering and leaving the family crested trinkets of the Marquis he is wearing and the separate residence of the Ashtoner Marquis in Barbora.
In fact, since the outbreak of the Evil Man by Linford, there has been increased vigilance against suspicious humans coming from outside the city, and the Marquis minister who was acting in Kosovo seemed rather evil conspicuous.
