276 274 Letters and Demonic Props (1/2)
I'm opening the envelope I was handed and looking through the letter inside.
”I see...... Princess Black Thunder. He delivered it well. Let me deal with the princess here and now.”
After all, it seems to be a letter written about the Princess's escort. But if it's that important, if I told you it was a long-distance demon prop, it would be instant, wouldn't it have been certain?
(Why a letter?
”Does Fran think so, too?
(Mm-hmm. It's faster to use demon props)
He also wondered about Fran.
”Thank you.”
”Mmm...”
”Ho? What? You look like you might want to ask me something.
No, I'm sure Fran was wondering about the letter, but you figured it out. Even though my expression has only changed so much that I wouldn't know if it wasn't for me.
I accidentally appraised it, but I don't have the skills to read my mind. An old man's death experience?
”How did you know?
”Don't live forever in Dada.”
Seriously, it was a feat of the year! Don't insult me, Grandpa.
”... demon props were enough, why a letter?
”Ho, do you still notice? There's a lot of reasons. You want to hear it?
”Mmm.”
”Fine. Let me tell you something.”
Offer Fran the letter Gilmouth had.
”Are you sure?
”Uhm.”
When I read it, the letter said that the assassins of the Bashar kingdom targeting the princess were entering the kingdom of the Beasts and that they should increase their escorts because it was dangerous. Other than that, some kind of cryptographic number is written.
When I looked at Grandpa, he stared at Fran with his unafraid eyes.
”What's this weird number?
”It's a code that tells you where the princess is headed. Even if they look inside, it's not going to be easy.”
What's the reason for that and using the letter? Then Gilmouth will explain. What a long-distance calling magic prop. Apparently it was developed in the Mage Guild of the Bashar Kingdom. As a result, it is rumored that the Kingdom of Bashar has the technology to steal and listen to long-distance calls.
In fact, there seems to have been assassinations and invasions in the past that seem to have occurred because of stealing and listening to calls. Apparently I'm not sure of the authenticity...... Apparently, more than likely, the truly important information is exchanged by letter.
”As long as we know how to eavesdrop, we can prevent it.”
”Don't you get it?
”Uhm. So I am very grateful for the presence of a man of strength like the Lord who can travel at high speeds and not take away my letters. Well, that's not why I use the letter.”
”Mm-hmm. Okay.”
The fact that the Bashar kingdom can eavesdrop on long-distance calls and the descent of ciphers is true. I've been using false reasoning for a long time, but there was no response. But one last word. ”That's not the reason,” he said. This place is a lie. I mean, they have some other reason.
Hmm, that's disgusting. No, it's a big organization, and I know there's no way you can tell me everything... You're not being used for anything bad, are you? I can't be specific if you ask me what kind of evil it is, but I'm gradually becoming a suspicious ghost.
Master?
I'll talk to Fran, who's surprised, about what to do.
(... somehow ask)
'Right...... So if it seems to reject you, I have no choice but to give up. You can't turn your guild against your enemies.'
