In truth, Duke Barry's words were not without merit.
There were indeed quite a few suspicious aspects to this matter.
"Mr. Beren Mura just mentioned that the former member of the Old Demon Clan sought contact with Adventurer Shane because of some powerful Magic Tools which caught her interest, intending to mass-produce them. However, it has been established that these so-called Magic Tools do not exist, thus contradicting the claims of Adventurer Shane."
"And why would Killian from the Old Demon Clan Faction seek out this Adventurer in Lamijion on his own initiative? Was this merely a coincidence?"
"Furthermore, without any actual Magic Tools, why would the Adventurer plot to lure out the Old Demon Clan Faction? Did he truly possess the confidence to deal with the main force of the Old Demon Clan Faction once they were drawn out? Yet the result was a considerable number of casualties, was it not?"
