Chapter 472: Gallus' Determination

It's been a few days since the rank up. Fran had been summoned to the Adventurer's Guild again.

The adventurers make a lot of noise when they see Fran, but there are few malicious glances. Is that being an admiration or fear? The former are the newcomers who admire Fran, who is the youngest B rank adventurer. The latter are probably those who have been blown away by her or those who have witnessed the scene.

Anyway, it's nice not to get tangled up with the small fry. It seems that rank has a big impact on this.

Moreover, the number of recruitments from n.o.bles has decreased drastically lately. This is because rumors have spread that she has the backing of the Beast King. Apparently, it was the king's words at the dinner that triggered the spread of this rumor. He must have dared to spread it.

Still, that doesn't mean we don't have any contact with any of them at all, though. It seems, those who think that they are special was everywhere huh. In the first place, there is no way for a n.o.bleman who is in the royal capital and has not been given a good job can be competent.

When she intimidates them, they won't come back, so it's not that annoying. There was almost no hindrance to our work. Well, in the last few days, most of the work that Fran had to do was gone.

The treatment of the seriously injured patients was almost finished, and the rest could be left to the court doctors and magician. The removal of debris can be left to the adventurers who came to help. The Knights have regained their functions and are now in charge of maintaining the peace.

Still looking for work, Fran advised the Count to use earth magic to build temporary housing, but he refused.

The area outside the city walls is not a safe place to live, with magical beasts roaming about. The commoner's area is densely populated with houses, and there was not that much extensive damage. Therefore, there was no s.p.a.ce to build temporary housing in the first place.

Even if it were to be built in the n.o.ble district, the temporary houses that cannot be moved would be a hindrance during the rebuilding process. It would be very labor intensive to demolish several temporary houses. A tent that can be moved quickly is better.

I've been thinking about this from a different perspective, but it's difficult to build temporary housing here. We don't have the technology to build prefabricated houses. If we stay here until the reconstruction, we can help, but we don't intend to stay that long.

In the end, Fran's major tasks were to help the injured and set up a wind barrier to prevent dust, but that was mostly done and she was completely out of ideas.

That's why she was able to answer the guild's call in the middle of the day. But it wasn't Eliante who called Fran, it was Forrund.

I came

Yeah

As usual, the two were able to understand each other. Forrund took her to a place that was not Eliante's office.

In here

The room looked like a private room in an inn. It seemed to be a room used to accommodate adventurers who had come to the capital on business from other adventurer guilds.

They have these rooms because they may not be able to use the lodge depending on the time of day, the nature of their work, or the time of year.

Gallus' room?

Yeah

Gallus was supposed to be lying low now. The Adventurer's Guild was still protecting him, although the government had decided not to impose any punishment. It was said that this was largely due to the cooperation of Eihwaz, who could cure magic drugs, and also as a result of the king's decision not to offend the Adventurers' Guild.

Well, as for us, we're going to let Gallus decide what to do after he wakes up.

When Forrund walked in, we found Eihwaz, Eliante, and Gallus waiting for him. Yes, Gallus had gotten himself out of bed and was here to greet Fran.

Gallus, already awake?

I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused you. Let me show you my grat.i.tude. Thank you

His face is still pale, but his tone is firm. I wonder if the after-effects of the magic drug are safe?

Are you okay now?

Of course. I cured him, didn't I? I used the finest elixir I could find. Oh, don't worry about the price. The Guild and he himself have already agreed to pay for it. Besides, I've gotten some interesting data

He grinned and laughed at her. It's not like he's hiding his embarra.s.sment, but he's serious. He must have really conducted the experiment in parallel with the treatment. I'm not complaining, though, because it's cured him.

Besides, I also have a deal with the country

What do you mean?

Hmm. Why should I complain when I've made these weak magicians a little more useful?

It seems that this old man had drugged the magician entrusted to him by Count Bailleys. The drugs increased their muscle strength and stamina and allowing them to work sleeplessly and without rest, and after its effects wore off, the users would suffer from h.e.l.lish muscle pain and insomnia.

That's why there are fewer mages available for reconstruction, you know? Isn't that obvious?

If we hadn't killed the enemy, more damage would have been done

You know that, and that's why the king said he'd wouldn't care with Gallus' treatment

I know what I'm doing

Rather than that, what to do about Gallus' future. That's why I asked Fran to come here to discuss it

I see, more or less, it's because of Fran has issued a protection request.

It seems that Eliante and Eihwaz have already explained the whole situation to Gallus. Everything, including what he himself can't remember.

What does Gallus want to do?

Umm

When Fran asked him, Gallus grunted in distress. Even though he had been manipulated, he probably regretted having a hand in a major incident that shook the royal capital.

I'll help you escape

The Thieves' Guild said they'd help us out

And the Adventurers' Guild too

Me too

After all, it seems that the guilds are not optimistic about Gallus' situation. If he is taken into custody by the state, he may be forced to work on the divine sword in captivity.

But Gallus shook his head and refused Fran and the others' proposal.

I'll stay in the royal capital. It may not be enough to atone for my sins, but I will help rebuild the royal capital

Are you sure?

Umu

Gallus understands everything. Still, he chose to entrust himself to the country. Once she saw the determined look on his face, she knew that it was impossible to reverse his decision.

Is that so

Fran muttered in disappointment.

You did everything you could. I'm sorry

No. If Gallus had decided, so be it

Don't worry, I'll give some push on him from the guild!

I'm sure the Thieves' Guild won't stand idly either

Me too

If all these guys are willing to back Gallus, will he be okay? I don't think he'll be under house arrest. At any rate, if they make enemies with these people, the country will be in trouble this time.

I'm sorry

At these words, Gallus bowed deeply.

However, even in this somber atmosphere, it is Eihwaz who can't read the air. After listening to Gallus's resolve, Eihwaz takes out something and starts asking Gallus questions.

I'm not quite sure about this part

Aah, that parts huh

Hou. In other words

That's right here

What Eihwaz took out was a doc.u.ment on the pseudo fanatic sword. It seemed that the Thieves' Guild had been holding it. He seemed to be looking at it and asking questions about the technical aspects.

The others, especially Eliante, seem to be quite curious and start asking more questions to Eihwaz, who asks Gallus questions.

that is why

So you can't ma.s.s-produce pseudo fanatic swords anymore?

In the first place, they were using the fanatic sword as a raw material

The pseudo fanatic sword was apparently made by mixing pieces of the fanatic sword with the consciousness of the fanatics when it was made. Originally, it was said to be a magic tool that sucked the magic power of its surroundings and strengthened the user. Moreover, it was a failed product with unsteady abilities.

By mixing it with Fanatics and inhabited by its consciousness, he was able to strengthen and stabilize its abilities, making it a pseudo fanatic sword.

The ability to counteract magic is a product of the magic-absorbing ability of the tool.

The reason why it was stabbed in the back was because the original magic tool was a type of magic tool that was worn on the back in the first place, and the Fanatics' consciousness could not display its abilities to the fullest unless it was in the form of a sword, so it had to be in the form of a sword.

In other words, now that the sword of blind devotion-Fanatics had disappeared, the pseudo fanatic sword could no longer be made.

Well, I don't know if the country will believe this story

It's not easy to forge that much of evidence. Besides, after a while, various information will be discovered in the Marquis's territory. If they look at them, they must be understood, no matter how foolish they are
