Chapter 286 – Ringain Ambassador

I faced the ambassador and spoke coolly.

“Ambassador, I hope that you do not think that you can get away with aiding the dark ones and opening up a hole in the divine protection?”

“What gross accusations!”

“I see. So, where is the device that was used to make the hole?”

I did not expect to get an answer. And so I used magic to search the place while talking.

However, there must have been layers of concealment magic here, as I could not detect anything.

And since I was talking with the ambassador at the same time, it took a little longer.

And so I said to the others,

‘Shia, Serulus. You two deal with the ambassador.’

‘Th-the ambasador? Deal with him? I don’t know if I can do that. I don’t like talking to important people.’

‘You’re a knight, Shia. You will be fine. Besides, you talk with Eric all of the time.’

‘That is true, but…’

‘Don’t worry. Just talk about something random and keep him from running away. We just need to buy some time in order to find the vampires.’

‘Still, I am not very confident. Serulis, can you do it?’

Shia had little experience with talking with nobles.

That was normal for an Adventurer, so it could not be helped.

‘Very well. Leave it to me!’

Serulis said confidently.

“Your Excellency. It has been so long.”

And then she bowed like the graceful noble lady that she was.

“…? Ah, you are the daughter of Her Excellency, Marquess Schmitt.”

After looking at her suspiciously for a second, he quickly realized who Serulis was.

Marquess Schmitt was Serulis’s mother, Marguerite.

“Yes. It is unfortunate that we have met in such circumstances.”

“Very unfortunate indeed. I never thought the daughter of Ambassador Schmitt would be involved with such rebels…”

“Your Excellency, given your position, why did you decide to offer your help to the dark ones?”

The ambassador called us rebels, and Serulis said that he was with the dark ones.

As both sides were accused of doing something bad, they made a show of looking sad.

It was a good way to buy time.

As they talked, I continued to search the room.

“Hey! What are you doing!”

The ambassador shouted angrily when he saw that I was moving.

But I continued to search silently.

The closer I was, the easier it would be to see through concealment magic.

“Your Excellency…”

Serulis tried to distract him. However, his eyes were now fixed on me.

That pretty much confirmed that there was something here that he did not want me to find.

And that thing was likely the device that had tore a hole into the divine protection barrier.

“Hmm?”

After searching the room for one minute, I found a place that was suspicious.

It looked like an ordinary wall. However, it was actually a door that had been hidden with powerful concealment magic.

But when I tried to touch it…

“Bastard!”

The ambassador roared as he unsheathed his sword and moved towards me.

“Your Excellency, we have not finished talking yet.”

Serulis grabbed him by the sleeve and threw him to the floor.

She did not even need to draw out her sword.

“Gah!”

The ambassador fell on his back and wailed.

He was no amateur. Judging by how he had thrown the spear at me, he was a first-rate warrior.

However, Serulis had brought him down with just one hand.

“Your Excellency, shall we continue our talk?”

Serulis said with a pretty smile as she looked down at the groaning man.

‘Thank you, Serulis.’

‘I’m fine. Leave this to me.’

She was very reliable. And so I started to disarm the concealment magic that was cast on the door.

And then what just looked like a wall, suddenly transformed into a solid metal door.

This wasn’t ordinary metal. It was likely mainly made of orichalcum.

On top of that, there was fool’s gold in it as well.

That meant that the dark ones had so much fool’s gold that they could put it inside of doors.

“This is an impressive door. It must have taken a lot of time and money to make.”

I said.

“Don’t touch it! It is not something that a bastard like you should touch!”

He wailed. But I ignored the ambassador and touched the door.

It had powerful Lock magic cast on it.

And it was about as strong as the magic cast on the treasure room doors of the royal palace.

“You must really want to keep people out of it.”

“Bastard! Stop this!”

The ambassador tried to get up so that he could attack me, but Serulis just tripped him again.

And so I was able to calmly cast the Unlock spell.

–Click.

There was a low sound, and the lock opened. And just as I put my hand on the door and was about to open it…

–Boom.

The door itself exploded.

The metal door turned into tiny fragments that flew in every direction at a high speed.

It had such power, that even one small shard could cause a deadly blow.

And as the party sorcerer, I had to protect Serulis, Shia, Grulf and Lord Gerberga.

And so the moment I detected that there would be an explosion, I cast a magic barrier.
