409 407 Reunion in unexpected places (1/2)

Leaving the Adventurer Alliance, we were quickly taking to Count Olmes' separate residence. Turn off the signs and see the mansion from a distance.

(Master, that)

”I see, is that the Scorpion Lion”

Fran is pointing to the gatepost of the mansion in front of Count Ashtoner's mansion. You did say it was the house of the Earl of Baileys.

That's just the gate to the noble mansion, and it's pretty big. There would be more than 10 meters of gate columns alone. And a magnificent manticore stone statue set on its heavenly side was gazing down the street to guard the gate.

If we followed that gaze, it certainly seemed to point toward Count Olmes' separate residence. The rest would be perfect if there was a war maiden at the end of that line of sight.

I can't peek inside because of the high walls. I even thought about sneaking in just a little bit, but it's too dangerous, so I stopped. Even from the outside, it was because I could feel the world of sorcery. Moreover, its strength is something inside. The Earl of Ormes Separate Mansion was so much stronger than the magic felt from Marquis Ashtoner's mansion.

Fran tried to go, though. I did everything I could to stop it. I didn't know Eliante's conversation was going to be pretentious...... It was dangerous.

'... let's see from the top. I'm just gonna go. So don't move here, okay?

Fortunately, it's night now. Making some flashy moves doesn't make you stand out. Even more so if it's just me.

I moved over by magic. It is somewhat elevated because careful care was taken not to touch the boundaries of the mansion. It feels like it's exploring magic and covering the mansion in a sphere.

He turned his attention to the garden of Count Olmes' separate residence while stationary above. Mobilize skills to observe the garden in every corner. And I discovered it.

”There it is! It's a statue of the maiden of war.”

There was a stone statue of a war maiden, set in the center of the fountain. He's wearing an armored helmet, looks like a woman, no doubt about it. It also matches the tip of Manticore's stone statue gaze.

Having gained certainty, I moved under Fran again.

”I'm home”

(Welcome back. How'd it go?

”It's bingo. I'm pretty sure it's here. '

(Yes)

That said, I don't even know what's going on inside the mansion just from above. Naturally, I didn't even know where Garth was.

”Not from the outside, but there's a lot of people in there.”

Exploring the signs, there were obviously too many soldiers on the guard. Besides, many soldiers are looking inside, not outside. It was as if he was guarding to stop the escape.

”Wolsi, how's the smell?

(On……)

”Can't you?”

(Off)

The mansion is also stretched with wind attribute junctions. I guess this is blocking the sound and smell.

(What do we do?

”I hope we can identify where Garth is imprisoned.”

We decided to walk around the Count's mansion to find some clues. There are signs of a significant number of soldiers patrolling the mansion. No one must have noticed us.

However, as I walked exploring the signs around me that way, Ursi reacted to something. I smell my surroundings.

”Could it be Garth?
