“Well, putting that aside. Janice, what are they doing here? They didn't say anything about the mercenaries, did they?" Moritz asked a question, for the sake of changing the subject.
“A-ah… they came here to apologize about that. The rest maybe… Mr. Presscott explained,"
Presscot added that Grenaldine wanted to add to the commodity needs of the city for mineral minerals and several types of plants which according to herbal plant experts in the city of Pirn included poisonous plants.
“Wait a minute, poisonous plants? What for?"
"I also don't understand their motives. But those plants include blood ball mushrooms, black opal ginger, and Cloud peppers which have even been proven to us to be able to produce white hairs which make mouse dragonflies when tested then die, "
Moritz was silent as he held his chin that semi hairy.
"Okay, I'll find out about that later. That's all from me, Mr. Presscot. Next some of my team members might have something to say.”
Bihice cast a mind spell so that what the monsters in Pirn forest were saying could be understood.
All of Moritz's colleagues, Rorokubis, Umbrella Ghost, Queen Thessaly, Bihice, and Faegwyn convey their aspirations to Presscot. The man's face now did not appear calm, on the contrary, it looked confused. The man who Moritz admitted that this young man was smart, now seemed to shake his head a little, daydreaming to the point of scratching his head.
“O-well… to be honest I was very surprised. I had absolutely no idea that the Rokurokubi and Umbrella ghosts or all the other spirit races had the choice not to antagonize the citizens of Pirn Town. Secondly, about the strangeness of the forest that Miss Bihice and Queen Moldrin Thessalia told before the tragedy of the disappearance of the townspeople, the exploration was actually triggered by the need for a mission. I had Janice investigate the mission rewards in the Guild through an insider and it turned out to be true. The wages increase seven times in the evening. Including the issue of dark elf slaves, I have investigated everything. Janice please bring me the scroll!” Presscot ordered seriously and firmly, Janice immediately handed the scroll to Moritz. “
The scroll contains a map of the process of taking all the materials that the capital wants to be used as basic supplies. There are pictures of vaughtort village, pirn town and pirn mine with different colored arrows. The colors of these arrows have a description of the ingredients in that area. All the arrows headed towards the city of Pirn, then from the city of Pirn arrows were pulled long enough towards the capital, Grenaldine.
(This! This is not good at all!)
"I got a scroll - no, I bought it from someone from the capital," said Presscot. "I've actually had this information for quite a while. I just need the right person. Most of the strong people in Docraltes have been bribed by those in power!”
Moritz paused and nodded slightly. It was as if all the strange things, during the three years of living in Etherealm Yregailia, were starting to connect to a certain common ground. Now he began to believe the next step.
Moritz learned that preferably, he needed to do something.
"I'm sure this problem will benefit us if the pirn forest becomes ours,"
Then, Queen Thessaly and Mira, all the forest creatures protested.
"What!? You guys already have a town wanting to take the forest too!?” Mira and the other Rokurokubi as well as the umbrella ghost joined in the protests.
“I doubt that forest peace will ever be achieved, Mr. Moritz! It's nothing new after all Moldrin's war with the lords of the capital! And also… please don't destroy the alraune! She is also our ancestor!”
Moritz stood up as if he no longer wanted to hear excuses and rebuttals. But, he said one rational thing. Moritz with a face full of commitment, a firm commitment also came out of his mouth.
“The residents of the pirn forest are temporarily living in the vaughtort forest, they can live near my house! Bihice, this is the first time since I have known you, especially in this realm….” Moritz took something out of his pocket.
A ring with carvings and colors as white as dove feathers. In the center was a new blue gem that was as dark as the bottom of the ocean. Halphas Envoy Ring.
Moritz with red cheeks, approached Bihice who was sitting next to Queen Thessalia, about three seats to his left. He bent down, grabbed Bihice's right arm like a newlywed.
“Bihice, from now on, you are my familia, acting as a conduit for information. Will you accept this ring?”
Even with the sudden situation, Bihice's expression became very happy. Again, like a newlywed, even if only she thought so. "Yes, my dear, Moritz!"
“Woooaaahh, they got married!?” said the rokurokubis. Again the sensational Moritz again, being the spotlight of all beings on the scene.
(*"Pupupu! Pretending to be serious, it turns out that you only want to add women? This brother is really sensational!"*)
(Your mouth please, fried chicken!)
Everyone clapped, the Rokurokubi whistled.
“WOOII IS NOT LIKE THAT!! Ughh, forget it….” Moritz slapped himself on the forehead.
Then after the ring was put on Bihice's forefinger, wisps of white light accompanied by falling dove feathers rained down on him. Then Bihice's body became bright shiny dazzling.
Until…
Her appearance changed drastically. Now wearing a blue one piece dress in tune with the ring, which has dove feathers on the collar. On her head wearing like a white circlet.
Everyone in the room was amazed. It was the first time they witnessed the familia's recruitment.
Then, Moritz looked at every race there. Moritz with a loud voice burning spirits, his face covered with serenity in speaking.
“Bihice will be in charge of messenger media. She will introduce the inhabitants of the pirn forest to the villagers of vaughtort. Will this work if you ask? I don't know! But… anything is possible. As long as there is a possibility, I can't possibly stop giving in to that possibility!”
Moritz tells Bihice that he can now use teleportation magic as well as several other self-protection abilities.
“I am ready to do anything on command, milord!” The happy Bihice then hugged Moritz briefly.
So….
“Mr. Presscot, because I have come this far, I want to make changes in the future. For that, you have to update my request list. But first…." He approached Presscot and handed him a small glass bottle that brought by his pocket. Inside it looks like magic swirling around. “You and Miss Janice keep up with the town as usual. If there are additions, immediately inform Bihice, "
“A-a, blueprints?”
“Find the most talented craftsman in this city to make it. I beg you, it has to do with the success of something I do!” Moritz earnestly looked at the man.
“Anything for a change in the city of pirn!” Presscot gripped Moritz's gift tightly, his eyes full of promise.
After that, Moritz ordered Faegwyn one more time, to return to Vaughtort village as a backup force if something happened. Moritz gave a clear reason, namely that Faegwyn's presence there would help Bihice in conveying the misunderstanding that would occur later. Faegwyn finally understood though reluctantly, she agreed to Moritz. With her three daughters, they would strengthen the village of vaughtort, were Faegwyn's last words.
.
.
The dish added experience to the Rokurokubis and umbrella ghosts who previously only devoured plants, beasts, or even intelligent races, now they feel stupid. They thought that there must be some way to forge good relations between the forest creatures and the intelligent race. Or more simply, a beast race of monsters with a race of minds.
While Queen Thessalia, who had been looking worried, Moritz came to her.
“You know me from the moldrins. The Alraune is not destroyed, at least if I take over the forest first," said Moritz earnestly, holding out her hand.
Queen Thessalia's countenance became relieved. She took Moritz's hand as a sign of agreement.
.
.
Then the discussion was over. Bihice immediately carried out her task, bringing along the Rokurokubis, umbrella ghosts, Queen Thessalia as well as escorting Faegwyn and her three daughters to the village of vaughtort.
Meanwhile, Moritz was shopping for something in town to prepare for his journey to the pirn forest again in an hour.
However…
Within that hour, Moritz received a message from Bihice via telepathy. Moritz was relieved to hear that the object Bihice ordered was safe.
(Bihice, the bad news?)
($"The village of Vaughtort is at war with the grenaldine soldiers. The woman with the spear is there."$)
(*”Means Jaquelin isn't there, right?”*)
($”Luckily… she’s not.”$)
(Hm… hold them for half an hour. This is bad news but also good news.)
($”Hm? What does that mean, milord?”$)
(Get the Rokurokubis and umbrella ghosts to help out. That will speed up this misunderstanding. In the meantime….)
(I'm sorry, you might have a tough first assignment, Bihice.)
($”Don't worry, milord! I'll do my best!”$)
(*”Oi, dryads! Don't push yourself! Otherwise, just run away! Remember, it's only half an hour, you know!”*)
($"Strange bird worrying about me is weird."$)
($”But… I still thank you.”$)
