NOVEL WEB c60
The Dicaman family, the local territorial government, the Adventurers Guild, the largest guild in the area, and the church, which is a pest to me.
The three major forces in the city have worked together, and although the fire continues to burn, the chaos caused by the blaze has been brought under control.
'The master has a lot of magical power,'
An adventurer could reach an A, maybe even an S.
What do you think, lord, why don't you join our guild and try for the S rank?"
"I am the head of House Dicaman, and I have no intention of becoming an adventurer."
"Hahaha, what a pity."
Of these three forces, the relationship between the Dicaman family and the Adventurers' Guild is favorable.
Through the relationship between the adventurers belonging to the Adventurers' Guild in the form of firefighting and the Dicaman family in the form of requests for magical medicine, they have succeeded in building a mutual trusting relationship.
The relationship between the adventurers and the magic potionists of the Dickaman family dispatched on an emergency basis is also good.
The relationship between the adventurers and the magician of the Dicaman family, who was dispatched on an emergency basis, seems to have grown closer, especially after the magician, who had been researching the hair-growing potion I mentioned earlier, distributed the completed hair-growing potion to the adventurers who were not so eager to help put out the fire.
The guild leader was also a recipient, and it seems that men's problems are common.
On the other hand, the church is distanced from both the Dicaman family and the Adventurers' Guild.
Although they help with the digestion, the priest does not participate in the treatment, saying, 'Recovery magic is a miracle of God, and there is no such thing as a free gift.
Hearing this, the guild leader got into a screaming fight with the priest, and since then there has been quite a distance between them.
Well, the treatment with the magic medicine we provide is free of charge because it is an emergency, and there is no particular problem even if the church is not cooperative in using recovery magic.
"But Maria, was it her?
How could she have known the culprit, and the lord doesn't know it?"
Yes, I happened to know that Maria was in town in the first place, in the process of rescuing her."
"Yes, you were on your way back from the royal capital."
Maria is not unconscious, but I have put her to sleep with magic.
There is nothing more that I need to know from her since she has already told me the story of the murderer, or rather, the circumstances. Maria's role now is to act as a decoy to lure the criminal.
From the priest's response at the meeting, the person who cast the spell on Maria, the cause of the fire, was no doubt a member of the church in this city.
But I'm surprised they are moving at this time.
The church had visited the Dicaman family daily in the past, forcing them to reduce the scale of their operations after a dispute in which they pressed them to hand over the method of creating a magic potion, which was called a secret medicine.
At the time, the church was not able to withdraw completely because there were many believers in the town, and they were opposed to the withdrawal.
After that, the situation calmed down, but secretly, they must have wanted to destroy the Dicaman family.
In other words, he was trying to ruin the reputation of the Dicaman family in the territory.
The events in the territory that Maria had told me about were probably a result of a dispute between Khalil Dikaman and the church behind the scenes.
In my knowledge, Maria took a small amount of support money from the Dicaman family and succeeded in destroying their reputation in the territory by spreading rumors that they had burned down a slum.
This time, however, it failed.
In addition to Maria's failure to bring the aid money, the timing of the final stage of the arson attack, which was to spread the rumor, was greatly delayed due to her influence.
So far, we could have taken public opinion in the direction of damaging the reputation of the Dicaman family.
If I were in the position of the church and Maria had died in the fire, I would have manipulated the information as a murderous act caused by the Dickaman family's daughter.
But Maria survived, although unconscious, and she testified that she knew who did it.
They don't expect her to give testimony that will lead to the church, but they don't want the story to leak out of Maria.
"I'll be staying in town tonight, if you need anything, just give me a call."
"I appreciate it."
"I'm sorry, but I'm going to take some rest."
"If the people in the mansion are looking for me, tell them I'm in the building next to the potion store."
"All right, I'll be there to wake them up if they need anything."
I carry Maria, who continues to sleep, to the building that was built for the potions master to stay in, which belongs to the Dicaman family.
The building has been cleaned regularly so that it is ready to use immediately.
The clownfish and the pirarucu.
I will be ready for any attack at any time, so I will only strengthen my defense.
I'm going to knock him out directly to protect myself, but worst case scenario, I'm going to capture that priest and make him spit out his plan.
If any intruders appear, let me know, and if Maria is about to be killed, stop them."
The blowfish that was extinguishing the fire has been put out, so the order will be carried out.
Now all I can do is hope that the actual muzzler will come, but since I spoke with the guild leader in a louder voice so that the church officials can hear me, I need him to come.
As soon as I catch him in an assassination attempt, I will capture all the church officials in this city and have them accuse themselves in front of the people living in the count's territory so that they will never be able to establish a church in my territory again.
Oh, and do not forget to get ready: ......
"Fall asleep."
Those who have run out of magic in their bodies are susceptible to magical influences, especially those who normally have a lot of magic in their bodies.
The reason is that those who have little magic power in their bodies originally resist magic with the functions that exist in their bodies.
However, those who have a lot of magic power, such as us nobles, do not use that ability, but use magic power to resist magic, so the ability to resist that is not normally used is reduced.
Reject [anti-magic veil magic]."
After putting Maria to sleep deeply, I used a magic to increase her magic resistance.
The church spy who entered the mansion has been eliminated, and although I do not think there is anyone that fierce, it is just a precautionary measure.
