Chapter 11 - Chapter 9

Having escaped the criminal who tried to kill Grubert, we followed the original path back to Amy and told him that it was a back alley.

Then Amy was disappointed. That said, Duke Baldeck was glad that you guys came back safely. Isn't it coming back like this? I was worried. I said.

After that, I'm glad everyone was safe for Lizrina-san! !! If you didn't come back, I would ... hey yeah yeah yeah yeah! !! ?? I started crying while saying.

Oh yeah, Grubert, the mastermind of this case, regained his consciousness thanks to my resuscitation drug. Will it go away as soon as it regains consciousness? I thought, but I drooped while showing the idea. Then, on the spot, he talked about this incident and all of his "encounter with Revise."

The encounter between Grubert and Levice dates back half a year. He was suddenly called by his father and told:

Guru belt! Pack up your luggage and get out of this house tomorrow! You are disowned! !! ??

Grubert, who heard this word, naturally told his parents why he was the next head of the family, and I had to leave the house! ?? But the words returned by his father were cold.

Do you know what you've been doing? Playing freely without obeying my instructions, assaulting the citizens and being caught by soldiers. What's more, can he leave this house and city to the guy who was kicked out of the Reedgarm Magic Academy?

In addition, if the next head of the family adopts an excellent relative's child, there will be no problem. At least I think the one I'm adopting is better than you are now ... isn't it?

When I was told that, I couldn't even make a noise. I had no choice but to obey my parents, but that night someone with a deep hood appeared on the balcony of Grubert's room and told Grubert:

You want to be the lord of this city, right? Then will I make your dream come true? When. Grubert didn't trust him, but as he began to feel credible while listening to the other person's one-sided story, Soitsu cut out the story of the contract with Grubert.

Why don't you get on my story? Then you can become the lord of this city. Even better, if you sign a contract for my "business" cooperation, you'll earn more than your father. It's up to you to cooperate or not!

The moment Grubert heard the word, he signed his contract.

After confirming Gulbert's signature and seal on his contract, Soitsu turned to Gulbert and said:

I'll say my name because we're going to be business partners. My name is "Revise". Oh yeah, it takes about a week for you to become a lord, so look forward to it. Take an inn in this city and wait. I have a lot of preparations.

Levice disappeared into the darkness of the night.

He did something stupid. At first I thought, but three days later his parents died, and the fact that he was the only successor made the story go on, and ten days later Grubert became the lord. Grubert himself was surprised at this result, is this a dream? Just before I thought, Revise appeared again and said:

How can you be a lord as I said? The contract says that I will cooperate with my business, but ... what about? Will you cooperate according to the contract? It is said that Grubert will cooperate with anything. I made a promise.

This was the encounter between Grubert and Levice, and the beginning of the evil deeds at Gozes.

At the end of the story, Grubert said before the soldiers took him to his cell.

"I wasn't suitable for the lord as my father said ..."

After seeing off Grubert, the Duke of Baldeck and I returned to the General Guild to organize the information. For the time being, I am here as an important reference.

"As a result of examining the mansion based on Mr. Grubert's testimony, contract documents and tools for illegal drugs and illegal magic tools came out, and contracts for illegal slaves also came out. I can't escape.

Also, when I found and investigated the basement that Grubert was talking about, I found people who were missing in Gozes with Aid's family, but unfortunately three were dead and four were enslaved and where. It was sold to the crab. Those who have been enslaved and sold will be investigated by the general guild. "

Aid, who was able to reunite with his family, remembers crying and hugging his wife and son, and then thanking me to the point of being persistent.

"Later, I'm talking about Mr. Levice, but since the name is not listed in the manuscript record of the city, the name Levi's is probably a pseudonym. How Levi's invaded the city is now I'm investigating, so I don't know. I'll report as soon as the results are available. Do you have any questions so far? "

With her notepad open, Lizrina in her work mode turns her face over and looks over everyone in the reception room of the General Guild.

"Oh, Lizrina-san, is she okay because she has two questions?"

Lizrina turns to me, raising her hand.

"Ask a question, Mr. Elleina"

"First, did anyone see Aid's family being taken away?"

"I haven't done so yet. I will continue to investigate the criminal method and circumstances here."

There are no witnesses for now.

"What is the other question?"

"Who heard the name of Levice other than Grubert?"

Lizrina put down a notepad, took out her material, flipped through a few pages, and then she started talking.

"The name of Levith is known to the servants and slave traders who worked in Grubert's mansion, her Lasbeth Bruma of Bruma, and several employees of the trade and her adventurer guild, Debutor. I did. "

My name is the guild name ... well, leave it alone.

"Did any of the citizens know?"

"We are currently investigating, but no one knows so far."

"Is that so"

Well, something gets caught.

"Next, as I mentioned earlier, Razbeth Bruma of the Slave Company, it seems that Levice was trading illegally through Grubert. The types were buying and selling magic tools, slaves, drugs, etc., and Grubert. He is also the person who sold the four citizens who were in the basement of

By the way, the chairman of the Slave Company caught a horse-drawn carriage with a lot of luggage in front of the store. The soldier was talking about it.

"Lizrina, I have a question, is that okay?"

Lizrina shifts her gaze from the material to the Duke of Baldeck.

"Yes, what is the Duke of Baldeck?"

"Did you identify the method of transporting illegal products and the supplier?"

"I'm sorry, but I'm currently investigating. I asked Mr. Gulbert and Mr. Bruma, but Mr. Bruma bought it without asking anything from Gulbert, so he said that he didn't know the supplier at all, so I bought it. I asked Mr. Grubert, who seems to have been a lie, but he said that one of the contracts was to buy without asking anything from Revise, so I myself do not know anything. I used a psychological crystal. So it doesn't seem to be a lie. "

The Crystal of Truth is the one I used to see my status. Is it meant to be a lie detector? Let's ask God later.

Guell begins talking with his arms crossed.

"Hmm, it feels like they're cutting the tail of a lizard. Maybe it was because they were the most involved in trying to get rid of Gurubert. That's how much testimony I got. I have to thank Elleina. "

I also think that Gurubert was the correct answer. Perhaps memory read alone has less information than it does now.

"But the way Soitsu speaks is quite distinctive. Is Revice a man or a woman?"

"When I asked Grubert, he said he didn't know his gender, but his voice was like a woman. And it was Revice who informed Grubert that we were coming to Gozes this time."

Did Levice know that the Duke of Baldeck was coming here? Maybe he is an assassin in another country? No, but then you can't do business. Hmmm ... I'm getting more and more confused about the device ... Well, let's leave this to the country.

"And the Adventurer's Guild He investigated the guild chief of Debutor and found about three. The first was hired by Grubert to try to kill the Duke of Baldeck by pretending to be a thief. However, thanks to Mr. Elleina, it ended in failure. "

I don't say it because of me.

"The second is that a fellow Debutor was escorting Grubert, but he was rushed to the members of the murder of the Duke of Baldeck. When they left, they said," Stay home all day today! " I heard you told Gulbert ... Gulbert himself seems to have gone out alone without obeying his words. "

It's bad for Grubert, but it's stupid. I think.

"Third, former lord of Gozes, Baron Midbert Langut and his wife, his wife, Lasina Langut, were found to have been killed by his chubby adventurer guild."

"Wait a minute !?"

Mr. Barbos suddenly made a voice while making a surprised expression.

"Half a year ago, that accident ... no, was that incident involving Debutor?"

"Yes ... I told you in detail that I was asked by Revice to kill me half a year ago. It seems that Revice also taught me how to kill, and this time it was Grubert's request, but ours. It seems that he was trying to get rid of the murder in the same way. "

After hearing Lizrina's explanation, Barbos hit his desk while making a fist. I'm scared of my face, why are you so sharp?

Girly says while looking at Barboss.

"Guild chief, please calm down !! I understand that your friend Midbelt was killed, but now that we are in a meeting, please calm down!"

Yeah, I was a friend! ?? Former lord and Mr. Barboss?

"Fu ... Fu ... It was bad. The punishment of the members of Debutor should be left to the country."

It was good, calm down. If it starts rampaging, I'll run away at a glance!

"I'm sorry. Keep talking."

"Yes, the adventurer's guild chief, Devtor, will be felony. Other members are currently under investigation."

"... I see, I understand."

Upon hearing the words, Lizrina looks down at her notepad, flips through a few pages, and then begins talking.

"And finally, the house that Elleina asked me to investigate was a fire that burned down, but it turned out to be a surprising fact."

"What on earth did you find out?"

Guell tells Lizrina.

"It was the house that Grubert gave to Revise."

Those who hear it look at me.

"Did you really know?"

"No, no, Mr. Guell. When I joined Amy," the house burns! There is a fire! "When I heard that, she felt strange, so I asked her to investigate further."

Keith talks to me this time.

"In other words, we were chasing after Levis himself at that time, and there was a magic circle in the burnt-out house, and he was chasing. Burned with evidence so that it would not be tailed. Isn't Elleina guessing? "

"That's right. And I think it might have been a smuggling route. I'll leave the investigation around to you."

It's a national job from here, so let's leave the rest of the investigation.

Keith and his friends nodded when I thought so.

"That's right. Leave it to me."

This time, the Duke of Barudek turned to me.

"If something happens, I will contact you"

"If I'm okay, it'll help. And I have a personal problem ... can I ask?"

"Problem? Did you have any problems?"

Yes, we have it! Duke of Baldeck! !!

"Actually, I haven't taken an inn yet, but ... is it okay to go to book an inn now?"

Duke Baldeck takes his pocket watch out of his pocket and begins to check his time. There was a clock in this world.

"... It's already night, so the reception desk may be closed at ordinary inns."

I started thinking about what to do in my head.
