Welcome to the Monsters' Guild ~ The Strongest Group Who Did Everything, for a Price ~

The next day Rise had been summoned to the Royal Palace.

The reason is a situational inquiry into the dragon's combat behavior last night.

No matter how many rides were free to leave the Knights, or how many were outside the King's capital, you can't leave the dragon alone if it fights near the outer wall of the King's capital, which is the king's knee.

(But the place of explanation is the royal palace.)

If trouble usually occurs, it is at the guard's stuffing station that the circumstances are heard.

However, the Knights will be in charge of such cases as cannot be dealt with by the guards.

This is something I also know very well about the Knights' Rise.

In the first place, there's nothing for the Knights to ask about.

These mechanisms are only rules that are built on assumptions.

It's just a one-off decision for when a possible case occurs.

At the very least, there have been no incidents where the Knights have been questioned while Rise was a member of the Knights.

(I can't believe I'm going to be the first example of this... or the Royal Palace.)

Rise is taken by the knight who guides him through the royal palace.

It's a call from the royal palace, so the obedient demon trend is not allowed.

Most of all, there is a black dog lurking in his shadow, and the demons of the shadow troop are escorting Rise in the shadows.

"This way."

A knight stops his leg and urges Rise to stay inside.

"Is this...!?"

I can't help but be surprised that Rise, it was during the glance that he dared bring him here.

Because it's a room just to meet the king of this country.

(I thought it was a ministerial class, but hearing it immediately from His Majesty the King is a lot more important.)

Rise was also surprised by this.

Rise's squires are certainly brilliant, but it still takes some time to gather information.

I never thought Rise would suddenly be called to the royal palace yesterday.

(Or should I have looked into it when the call didn't come from the Knights at night)

Rise never stopped to look.

◇

"Rise-Tamer admission!

A knight raises his voice announcing the admission of Rise.

A deep red carpet is laid in front of the rises, with knights lined up beside them.

And in the back there is a wide staircase for each person on the side, lined with ministers.

The top of the stairs is hidden by a vale descending from the ceiling.

(Ah, Captain Frieda. And former Commander Muldo)

If you look, you can see both of them mixed up with the ministers.

Captain Frieda stares abominably at Rise, and former General Muldo looks unable to smile.

Rise went down the path of the red carpet, and as he came to the front row position of the Knights, which he refrained from to the left and right, he knelt with his head dropped.

Because it is disrespectful to see the face of a king whose minister is close and the master.

"His Majesty the King"

I can hear the sound of clothes rubbing with the voice of the knight.

"Raise your toes."

With the permission of a familiar voice, when Rise raised his face, the vale on the stairs opened and there was a statue of a magnificent man sitting on the throne.

"It's been a while, Rise-Tamer. Has it been since your lord's count?"

But Rise doesn't answer. Because it is disrespectful to speak to the king without permission.

"I want to hear your voice the rest. Answer me."

"Ha, it has been a while, Your Majesty."

"Uhm, more than anything."

The king smiles with a good smile.

"It's about this call…………"

When he finishes his greeting, the king becomes the face of the exchanger and gets to the point.

"I want to know the whole story you let the Dragon fight. Answer me."

"Ah⁉"

Captain Frieda's vividly trembling appearance is clearly visible in Rise's eyes.

(Uh, no doubt they asked me about the connection with the laying of the emergency line in Wang Du.)

But when it comes to the servant General Frieda, there is no excuse for the king.

Because it is disrespectful to speak without the king's permission.

(Was it ex-General Muldo's ploy that involved the king? Or the anti-Frieda Generalists?

The killer who wrote this painting thought of someone, Liz, but now he decided that it was a prerequisite to keep his own safety, and he decided to tell the king what was going on.

◇

"……"

When Rise finishes his explanation, the king mutters as he strokes his own beard with his hand on his chin.

"A bandit turned into a holy knight in an object sealed with the power of the devil, and a weapon filled with the power of the devil..."

The king's brow hangs faintly.

"Don't match what the captured thief told you, Muldo."

"Oh, I see."

Former General Muldo, who has not obtained permission to utter the word, answers the King, but this does not hit him with disrespect.

For ministers standing under the stairs of the throne are given permission to return their words without permission from the king.

This is because the ministers involved in the operation of the state cannot speak without permission from the king, because they cannot convey important information to the king.

"The perpetrator of the burglary captured by Rise-Tamer, the one who was serving to hide that spy, and the spy who had the weapon to handle the power of the surviving demon. It matches what they say."

"Uhm."

Rise was handing over the captured thief to former General Muldo.

Because in a situation where we don't know the real killer pulling the thread behind the current situation, we decided it was dangerous to hand over the spies to the Knights.

What's more, the current head of the Knights is Captain Frieda, so I can say it's because I didn't know what I was going to do because I hated Rise.

"If it involves the devil, it is inevitable to use the power of the dragon. Instead, we should be thankful that there was not a single dead man. The Church is grateful for saving the knights."

"Your Majesty, that's not all."

"Mm, is something still going on?

Here Rise feels uncomfortable with the conversation between the kings.

(Something's weird)

"What a spy captured by Rise-Tamer, it turns out that these missing persons have been kidnapped by these people as experimental benches for demonic experiments."

"Oh my God! Are you sincere!

"Yes. It was already too late for those who, unfortunately, had sacrificed themselves, but the number of those who were safe is not small. Some of them have noble children."

"Well, that's good news. Parents will be happy to have my child back."

"Absolutely."

Words that come out slurred as if watching theatre.

(Definitely, this is a conversation as shown beforehand)

Rise observes that some kind of meeting is taking place between the King and former General Muldo.

As proof of this, Captain Frieda's face was dark and distorted.

I can see how hard it was to get to my stomach back there.

"We must reward Rise-Tamer for saving the people of the King's capital and destroying the apostle of Satan, the enemy of the world."

"But Rise-Tamer has already earned the title. I was wondering if I could give you any more titles than running the Knights."

"You're the one on the left."

(No way, you're not going to tell the Knights to put them back and give them a new title or anything!?)

The kings' thoughts are unreadable and frightening Rise.

(Can't you help but think that Ketsey and the others didn't get the information? Asking about the situation is pre construction. He called me in the name of questioning circumstances to create this situation)

"Furthermore, the dragon carriage started by Rise-Tamer has become an important transportation network in our country. I was wondering if I could return to the Knights now."

(That?)

I thought he was going to be sent back to the Knights in the name of the King. Rise eats a shoulder watermark.

"Is that a dragon carriage? I hear people and supplies are transported not only to our country, but also to distant countries in just a few days"

"Yes, if other countries have already benefited from it."

I hadn't noticed the knowledgeless rise in politics, but his starting dragon carriage had a tremendous impact on countries beyond his assumptions.

The reason the country originally wanted to bring Rise back to the Knights was because it wanted to regain the deterrent power of the Dragon.

But the fact that Rise started a free-flowing dragon carriage in the country of his own free will prevented the surrounding countries from turning their armies against the Kingdom of Tend.

Dragon carriages without a set route can be the worst hit by dragons if they find out that the army is moving worse than they know when and where to appear.

The dragon carriage was unconsciously becoming the deterrent of the Tend Kingdom.

So much so that some countries mistake Rise for being connected to the Kingdom of Tend in the back.

And as former General Muldo put it, simply the dragon carriage was giving great benefit to other countries in the sense of transport power.

It is of great significance that many people and luggage can be transported safely and quickly without worrying about terrain and demons.

There were so many advantages of dragon carriages that they could not be counted in order to converge before the epidemic broke out and solve problems between nations quickly.

With such a dragon carriage doing business in the country of Tend Kingdom, it was only negative as it stands to force Rise back into the Knights.

The Rise didn't realize that.

"Then let me promise you that I will grant the Rize-Tamer dragon carriage national credentials and exempt it from paying taxes."

"Oh, that's a good idea!

(Seriously ⁉)

Rise nearly screamed inside.

The taxes in the Kingdom of Tend are deducted from the income less expenses.

However, since most of the food costs of demons working at Monsters Delivery in Rise are covered by meat from demons captured in pastures and the Great Demon Forest, the problem was that they did not incur much expenses other than maintaining the office.

If there is no expense, the dividend will be greater.

But the king declared that the dragon carriage's money could be used as a whole Rise thing.

The amount of tax that comes back is never less than the majority of the income is in dragon carriages.

As for Rise, it was the content of a reward that I wanted to welcome by raising my hands.

Most importantly, as a country, I don't have to pay for the maintenance of the demon who uses Rise, so I don't have any trouble losing taxes.

"Uhm, that's settled!

Rise is told to leave the room because of a paragraph in the interview.

And it was when he was about to leave the room.

"Rise-Tamer, I heard you left the Knights, but it worked brilliantly. Send praise."

Rise, who was not allowed to answer without permission, turned around and smiled slightly and returned to the king.
