“To the feudal lord? Does the person accompanying you have a high social rank?”
Baren asked, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
If one could have an audience with the feudal lord immediately, it must be a person with a high position to some degree. As expected from the guild master of the city near the Sacred Place, he was quick to catch on.
“You will know about my companion’s status. The information should be passed on to you soon. Leaving that aside, do you believe in my information?”
“Hrm, I can not remain silent when hearing ‘Flood’. But under the present situation, there’s no proof to back up what you’re saying――”
Baren said, while putting his hand on his chin.
However, it seemed he already sent a messenger to confirm the information contrary to his words.
There were people leaving the guild hurriedly; Shin could sense it.
“If you say that you are an A rank adventurer, the story would be different.”
For Baren, he should be able to get into action quickly. However, since he was the head of the organization, he couldn’t accept Shin’s information that easily.
“Then, how about this?”
Receiving a probing-like gaze, Shin took out the letter of introduction from Tsuki no Hokora from his Item Box.
“That is…”
Eliza expressed words when she saw the letter of introduction.
“I already have official guarantee that it’s genuine by Guild Master of Bayreuth.”
“…I see, I have no choice but to believe you since this is shown.”
The gaze containing doubt from Baren was erased.
“Don’t you have to verify it?”
“Unfortunately, I don’t have a letter of introduction. But as you said, I can contact Barlux-dono. Even if you tell a lie, I’ll know it immediately.”
“Thank you――”
“Uh huh, from here on I officially announce the declaration of a state of emergency. If the companion whom you said has brought the story to the feudal lord, the army would move immediately. As soon as the report comes, we’ll begin the preparation for the residents’ evacuation. Eliza, please contact the representatives of each guild.”
“Understood.”
Eliza who received the order left the room afterward.
Organization of the army and units, procurement of supplies, and the evacuation of the residents; there were many things that needed to be done from now on.
“What are you going to do hereafter? I guess you’re an upper class Chosen One, right? Please cooperate as I’d like to ask regardless, but…”
“You don’t have to ask. As an upper class Chosen One as you say, you can expect me to help to some extent.”
“That’s reassuring. Then, it would be nice if you have a meeting together with the other Chosen Ones in this city.”
In Baren’s talk, the Chosen Ones that became the main force, because upper class Chosen Ones were not the same as ordinary adventurers or knights, it was said that they would unite in a party between fellow Chosen Ones and fight.
Since they themselves often had weapons for their exclusive use, they didn’t take much time with preparation compared to a common adventurer.
“Now the Chosen Ones protect Balmel, but I’ve heard there is one short..”
“You had known? I’m also concerned about this, but the force increased once you joined. It became somewhat better, is what I’d like to think.”
“My companion is a Chosen One too, so you can count on us.”
“It’s a blessing.”
After inquiring about the location of the shop which the Chosen One ran, Shin left the adventurer’s guild. Even if everyone of them were a Chosen One, it didn’t mean they would be adventurers or knights.
