Yeah, judging by our earlier experiences with Bandits and their ambushes, I can undoubtedly say that they went for the 「ambush the unsuspecting Events within the Labyrinths」 possibility.

「Assuming that they’re hiding within the Labyrinths, do you’ve got any concept by which of the Labyrinth they could be hiding?」

「Proper now we don’t have any leads, however since there are solely three Labyrinths within the territories belonging to Hartz Duchy, so we have now to contemplate the potential of them hiding in any of them.」

「And what in regards to the casualties? Have there been any damages executed to this point?」

「No apparent damages have been executed to date, however given their notoriety, it’s only a matter of time earlier than they begin showing.」

So evidently no injury executed by these two Bandits has been confirmed but. Good. This most likely implies that we should’ve encountered Heinz and Simon shortly after they arrived within the Hartz Duchy and solely had the time to arrange that lure in Haruba’s Labyrinth. If they’ve tried to assault some village, then the Duke or Gozer would undoubtedly caught wind of such a plot brewing of their territory, however the query right here is: would they have the ability to react in time if one thing like that basically occurred?

However however, in the event that they know a lot about these two already, then I suppose this simply goes to point out that the knowledge community of the Duke of Hartz and his Knight Order of Hartz Duchy is to not be underestimated. Both that, or maybe they managed to listen to one thing from observing the actions of the remnants of those Bandit’s band after they have been scattered to the 4 wind as soon as their leaders have been overthrown?

「And that’s principally what’s happening proper now. With that being the case, we’d such as you to stay cautious whereas exploring the Labyrinths of the Hartz Duchy, Lord Michio.」

「And also you went out of your method to contact me simply in order that you may let me learn about it? Thanks for that.」

It’s certainly good of them to let me know in regards to the hazard lurking within the Labyrinths of the Hartz Duchy…. However their data are gradual and outdated, as a result of the hazard that they’re talking off is not any extra as a result of I already took care of it and defeated these Bandits all alone.

Nonetheless, even when I needed to, can’t divulge to them that I’ve already defeated them. If I do this, they may need me to point out their Intelligence Playing cards as proof of the deed being truly executed, and as soon as they request me to point out their Intelligence Playing cards, it’s solely going to be a matter of time earlier than they request me to point out my very own intelligence Card, and till I turn out to be an Adventurer, that’s one thing that I completely can’t permit myself to do.

Whether or not I prefer it or not, I merely haven’t any alternative however to withhold that data from them for a short while longer. Usually I might say that staying vigilant on a regular basis is the commendable factor to do, however on this explicit case I wouldn’t actually thoughts it if the fellows from the Knight Order of Hartz Duchy have been only a teensy-weensy little bit much less vigilant.

「If we’d give you one other piece of recommendation, then we’d advise you to be particularly cautious when going to the Labyrinth of Bode.」

「Labyrinth of Bode, huh? I see. I’ll ensure to take your recommendation to coronary heart.」

「Additionally, right here’s one thing that may assist you determine Heinz do you have to ever bumped into Bandits throughout your travels by the Labyrinths in spite of everything: Though Heinz himself is an Elf, he appears to have many human subordinates on his facet, however that’s all the knowledge that we have now on him proper now.」

「Any concept for why Bode’s Labyrinth could be the place the place he’s probably to be?」

「As a result of if he have been to go to the Labyrinths of Tare or Haruba, he would find yourself drawing an excessive amount of undesirable consideration to himself as a result of there aren’t as many Elves there, so he would undoubtedly stand out, however in Bode, the place there are comparatively many Elves, he wouldn’t be something uncommon to anybody who doesn’t know his title or face, and that’s the reason we expect the he would possibly’ve chosen Bode as his hiding spot.」

Yeah, that appears like a fairly sound and possible logic…. If it wasn’t for the truth that Heinz the Bandit was hiding in Haruba’s Labyrinth, which implies that he in some way managed to outsmart each the Duke and his Knight Order.

「So should you suppose he’s in Bode, then what’s the plan of action that you simply advocate in response to it?」

「Sure, since we expect that there’s a excessive risk of Heinz being in Bode’s Labyrinth, then we advocate coming into the Labyrinths positioned elsewhere for some time if you want.」

「We may also be conducting our personal search by all the Labyrinths within the Duchy’s territories, so there could be a risk that among the Knights from the Knight Order are going to be conducting spontaneous Intelligence Card checks, so if one in every of these checks occurs to be carried out on Lord Michio and the members of his Get together, so if that occurs, then I ask you in your full cooperation and persistence.」

They’re going to be conducting Intelligence Card checks? Oh boy, that’s undoubtedly unhealthy. If that’s how issues are going to be growing, then possibly I shouldn’t be maintaining quiet about me defeating the Bandits in spite of everything?

Then once more, the Duke and Gozer mentioned that they advocate me going to different Labyrinths for some time, so possibly I ought to do precisely what they’re suggesting and keep away from the Labyrinths of the Hartz Duchy in the meanwhile and concentrate on advancing by the Labyrinths of Vale and Quratar? At this level, I really feel like every little thing goes to be higher than risking having my Intelligence Card randomly checked.

「All proper, I perceive. When you suppose that avoiding the Labyrinths of Hartz Duchy is the absolute best factor to do right here, then that’s what I’m going to do.」

「Thanks in your understanding, and sorry for all the difficulty that this unexpected growth would possibly trigger you.」

Though I mentioned the phrases that I mentioned, it wasn’t like I had that a lot of a alternative right here, so I simply agreed with the Duke and Gozer after which left the Duke’s workplace. After that, since I had no different enterprise right here in Bode, all that was left for me to do was to return dwelling and eat breakfast, throughout which I defined the scenario to the ladies.

「The Duke needed to speak to me in regards to the Bandits which have just lately appeared within the Labyrinths of Hartz Duchy. He mentioned that it could be fairly harmful to be going to the Bandit-infested Labyrinths in the meanwhile, so till the scenario calms down, we have now been given a inexperienced gentle to go to the opposite Labyrinths for some time, and since we can’t inform him that we have now defeated the Bandits that he’s so frightened about simply but, I feel we’d take this chance to do precisely what he recommended and advance our progress in different Labyrinths, particularly within the one right here in Quratar.」

「Understood!」

「So we’re going to be going to Quratar’s Labyrinth for now as a substitute of the Labyrinths of the Hartz Duchy?」

「Sure, that’s precisely what we’re going to be doing.」

「Sure, desu!」

All three of the ladies gave me easy replies that expressed their help of my resolution to make extra progress within the Quratar’s Labyrinth. Properly, it’s not like I anticipated any of them to really go in opposition to my resolution, as a result of let’s be sincere, do they even have any cause to not wish to go to Quratar’s Labyrinth? However no matter whether or not they agree with me or not, I’d as effectively give them a small justification of my resolution, simply in case.

「You could be questioning why do I wish to go to Quratar’s Labyrinth of all locations. Properly, it’s as a result of Quratar’s Labyrinth is the one to which we occur to be possessing a map for, and since we have now the maps of all of its presently accessible flooring, we’ll have the ability to progress by the Quratar’s Labyrinth’s flooring at a a lot quicker price than with different Labyrinths.

「I feel the thirteenth ground of Quratar’s Labyrinth goes to be a comparatively good ground for us to maintain incomes good Drop Gadgets that may be then bought for cash and develop stronger by preventing the monsters there.」

Oh, do you now? Properly, it’s good to know that you simply notice that.
