A Sword Master Childhood Friend Power Harassed Me Harshly, So I Broke Off Our Relationship And Make A Fresh Start At The Frontier As A Magic Swordsman - 107 78

After capturing the hunters and sending the rescued villagers back to their respective villages, we had returned to Devon.

Now we were in the middle of discussing our future course of action at the village chief’s house based on the information we had gleaned from the hunters.

It seems that the Knights of the Kingsguard are involved in various ways in this matter. I’ve confirmed this with the man-hunters, so I think it’s reasonably reliable.

While we were bringing them in, we were carefully finding out what information they had leaked to us, with the help of Dimol, Deedle and Deele, to make sure it was true.

The captured man-hunters were very cooperative and easily opened their mouths to the questions they asked.

As expected, when a giant pterodactyl, a giant horse and a flame-spewing demonic sword intimidated together, normal people would be frightened.

They’re cute guys if they can communicate properly.

I’ll have to tell everyone how wonderful they are sooner or later, but that’s not the case right now.

Noelia, who was present when we were getting information from the hunters who captured them, also opens her mouth with a half-unbelieving look on her face.

It’s hard to believe that the people who say they are in the mine are connected to the Konoe Guard: ……. And there is no indication that the people who captured them are lying to you.

The man-hunters were talking about receiving a request from the guys in the mines, and they confessed that the Kingsguard was involved with the gold owners behind it.

It wasn’t credible if it was just one person, but since the same information had come out from several other people besides the leader man, we decided that it was somewhat credible information.

Susana, who had been listening to our report with her eyes closed, opened her eyes and spoke up.

It’s a good thing that you’re able to have a good time with them. I think it’s not surprising that they are doing something behind the scenes.

Since I was mainly in charge of the interrogation of the manhunt, this is close to the first time Susana has been exposed to this information, but she has suggested the possibility of Radcliffe family involvement, which Susana herself felt was a possibility.

I knew that’s the line, too.

But this land around Invahannes is Jair’s territory, and no matter what he does with the people in the territory, if it’s said that it’s up to him, the lord, to decide what he wants to do with them, then that’s it.

If it’s too bad an incident, even for a noble family, the kingdom will give them the punishment they deserve…. If the other party is the Radcliffe family, which is the vizier, there’s a high probability that they’ll be vague about it somewhere unless there’s a lot of evidence.

I had seen the arrogance of the aristocrats in King’s Landing many times, and I had a feeling that this incident was also going to be pretended that it wasn’t due to pressure from Jair and the aristocrats belonging to the Kingsguard.

‘Well, I think so too, but ……. By the way, Suzana is Noelia’s resident maid, but she’s surprisingly knowledgeable about worldly affairs.”

I’ve heard that she’s a maid, along with Noelia, a kind of older sister that I’ve grown up with since I was a child.

I don’t think she’s a maid by the way she carries herself, and she handled that unusual weapon brilliantly, and I know a lot of information about her.

Who the hell is she?

”Huh?　Ah, yes. Even though it looks like this, I’m the maid of a frontier county family, so I get a lot of information. Yes, well, yes.

I was curious about Susana’s background, but her eyes were appealing to me not to pry any further, and I decided not to ask any more about it because I was afraid that if I went into it, I would get an unexpected blowback from her.

I guess that means she’s on this trip and not just about Noelia.

I’m also holding a secret, so let’s just call it a win-win situation here.

I had told Susana with my eyes, ‘I won’t pursue it any further either.

Not caring about me and Susana, Noelia, who had been thinking about it, said the question that seemed to come to her mind.

‘Does this matter still have something to do with Abyss Walker?　The Rahaman mine is also close to the Abyss Walker sightings, and that information was pretended not to have been there due to pressure from either the Kingsguard or Lord Gile,

I don’t think it’s unrelated, though, considering that this would have happened if I came to confirm the sighting of the Abyss Walker.

In the first place, the information we got from the Guildmaster of Invahannes was also stopped from being searched due to pressure from the lords.

If the Abyss Walkers are connected to the miners and Abyss Walkers, I have a feeling it will be …… more important.

‘That’s what I’ve been wondering about too. I was wondering if the Abysswalker sightings had anything to do with the miners.

If the Abyss Walkers and the miners were connected, it would be a huge deal that would shake …… the country.

Noelia’s face paled as she spoke her thoughts.

If the Abyss Walkers seen near the mine are the newer models that fought in Abyssfall and yet are connected to the miners, then …….

That would lead us to the worst possible idea that the Abyss Walkers are operating with organized support.

”We should look into that connection as well, but we might want to find out if the miners have the involvement of the Kingsguard, or if Lord Gile, the head of the Kingsguard and the lord of the land, is involved as well.

Susana’s words make me suspect the worst is happening.

If the king’s guard, the head of the Kings Guard, the head of the Kings Guard, and Gile, the heir apparent of the Radcliffe family, who is said to be a close associate, is connected to that Abyss Walker, I think it would be an unprecedented betrayal.

If a second major attack happened under these circumstances, it would be …….

I shuddered just thinking about it.

But there’s no confirmation of anything yet.

However, the two matters may be completely unrelated just because they coincided with the sighting of Abyss Walker.

Personally, no matter how much of a noble bonbon Gile was, I didn’t want to think that he was involved with the Abyss Walker who caused so much damage as a member of the kingdom.

‘We might as well look into the matter of the Abyss Walkers, which was our original purpose. But before we do that, we might as well take a hard look at which one of them is connected to the miners.”

I felt a twinge in my stomach at the thought that things I originally thought were unconnected might suddenly be connected.

‘You’re right, Flick-sama. It might be better to check the identity of the people in the mine first before the Abyss Walker matter. And the people in the village say that the people in the mine were there a decade ago. If Lord Gile is involved, we’re talking about since he was a child: ……

If that’s the case, does that mean that the Kingsguard was originally involved and Lord Giles doesn’t know about it?

If the involvement of the Kingsguard Knights had been involved for more than a decade, as Susana had said, then the story would be that a group of nobles who were supposed to protect the king and defend the country had betrayed them for that long.

But I couldn’t help but think that those soft knights of the Kingsguard were the ones who would do such a big thing.
