556 Hall of Return (Instead), Part 8 - Requests from Miranda

"Alphilis, we've got new joiners."

"Again? We just picked it out five days ago, didn't we?

"Also. There are about 10 people who want to come these days in 5 days. Aren't you glad to scream?"

"Gradually, it's just screaming, though."

As always, many people wanted to join the mercenary regiment of Alphilis and others. There were still many new joining hopes, and Alphilis and Ecla were the days to be chased by those processing. As for Ekla, he wanted himself or someone to be entrusted with the selection of personnel, but as for Alphilis, there were some indistinguishable doll disturbances the other day, and he was not in the mood to leave it to others in the absence of Renatica and Lisa. Besides, although Ekla is very competent in practice, there are still places that are young and blind. Although Ekla's opinion is also very informative for Alphilis, he was not yet willing to give it even HR rights.

Thus Alphilis has still chosen to join the group itself, but Alphilis was gradually becoming burdened with the sorting of prospective joiners to visit on a daily basis.

"(I'm glad to have someone who wants to join the group. But I still don't know how many people I can use like limbs in my abilities. I didn't even go through the fight with this rapidly increasing number of people. Keep increasing and you'll probably shrink your feet all at once)"

Alphilis' concerns actually point to the line as well, and he knows the difficulty of operating that number because it is a line that once had a thousand men. Thousands of people can be a tremendous force if operated, but control is also difficult, and if the collapse begins, they can't be stopped. Whilst the line advised to temporarily restrict joining the group, it also felt that the level of talent to be gathered would increase and that it would be a shame to restrict it compared to the capabilities of existing members. In addition, even the smaller mercenary regiment, which had recently become more difficult to operate, had come to wish to enter.

An offer had just been made that it would not be sneaky for Alphilis to stop such an upward airflow himself, and that Miriazal would be ready for further private land expansion for the mercenary corps. Alphilis was anxious but couldn't stop the regiment from trying to get even bigger.

That's when Miranda's men sent me a letter. The strangely strangely verbal man left the scene when he followed the letter to Alphilis with disrespect.

"(This is a letter from Wye's boss ~. I did give it to him, if that's what you want)"

He's definitely an Arnelian monk with a long cane, but if he does, he can tell from where he's wearing his body hiccups and ornaments that the man's not just a one-sided monk. Probably one of the pilgrimages I listen to, but Alphilis wondered that Miranda also uses strange men. Everyone thought that someone with no mouth would be enough if it was just for use, but close to Alphilis.

All in all, Alphilis followed Miranda's letter and headed towards the newly built White Tree Palace. Miranda et al. impressed the building like that palace made up of white tones, alphilis, but decided to leave it unannounced around there wondering if there were many different circumstances.

Alphilis is going to the White Tree Palace alone this time. Because that was Miranda's hope. Alphilis then proceeds inside the palace as he is guided. This was another strange sister who acted as a guide, but I knew immediately that I was not the only one who felt intimidated from my back. And I don't really welcome the Alpha Reese thing.

Sister finished the role without saying a word but the least. When Alphilis was waited in front of a pure white door that reminded him of the snow scenery, he eventually heard a familiar voice from inside.

Alfie, come in.

"Ohhh."

When Alphilis opened the door, it was a room full of warm colors, like Miranda. Apparently, that's where it hits the office, and Miranda's desk is still loaded with piles of paperwork. Alphilis laughed somewhat bitterly that the sight was similar to his recent self.

You look good.

"Naturally, Miranda is immortal here. Besides, you seem busy."

"Fair enough. I'd like another body, though. But I managed to get it right."

"That's more than anything."

Miranda talked about recent developments while recommending the tea she had left for Maple to Alphilis. It's usually stupidity about each other's work, but when these two discuss it, it's not a strange and dark story. When they discussed something funny and strange around them, they eventually moved on to nature and why Alphilis had been called to the White Tree Palace this time.

"So, why did you call me here?

"Yeah, actually, I wanted to make a request."

"Heh, finally a request from Miranda. You're so nervous."

"I'll tell you what, it's like you're just being quiet."

The two laughed again, but Alphilis also knows that it would be more than just a request for Miranda to discuss it alone. Alphilis was tightening his mind that he probably needed his own strength for Miranda.

Miranda took out one dossier and showed it to Alphilis. This is an earlier report. Alphilis glanced at the report.

"What's this?

"That's what I'm asking. I need you to help me solve this case."

"Help... I mean, you want me to be an assistant to Miranda's men?

"It's quick and helpful"

Miranda lowered her mouth and retrieved the report from Alphilis.

"This request was made by Atashi. This will be the first big job Atashi will do as the person in charge"

"Big job? It didn't seem like a very difficult job in terms of content."

"Sure. There are many dead, but not that many yet. If you think there's a skirmish of demon kings opponents going on all over the continent, it's insignificant. It's an abnormal way to die, but from Arnelianism, which undertakes crusades of evil spirits and warcraft, it's not that big of a project either.

But there's more to the story. Atashi immediately made the pilgrims inspect this hall. As a result, it turns out this is a kind of "castle."

"'Castle'? Oh, that's the top version of the junction. That means"

"Yeah, I'm talking about some pretty powerful evil spirits, so it's a pretty superior of Atashi's men who sent me to look into them. He doesn't want to go in there alone. Because it's dangerous, we've only had to investigate it from outside. That's why we're sending more than enough people around him on this mission. I want Alfie to help me with that."

"I don't mind that, but... I wonder if any of my men are that good at evil spirits?

Alphilis thought of the faces of his own men. Now the sorcerers have nearly 20, but not everyone is that high. As a magician, it was Alphilis' view that it still did not extend to Larna.

When that happens, will it be about Lisa and Lunatica who can use it later? In Impulse and Emerald, he was about to escape before the evil spirit.

When Alphilis was thinking about it, Miranda slapped her hand and called in her men. It was the monk who delivered the letter to Alphilis and the Sister who guided him who came into the room where the two of them were.

"Let me introduce you to Alfi. These two are the clerics Brandio and Ultina. Each of them is a former pilgrim, a superior human being. I'll cover your arm. Say hello, both of you."

"Gentlemen, Brandio is fine. Later."

"... it's Ultina. I need you to know me."

Two seemingly contrasting impressions, but Alphilis also found that both were crooks. Regardless of the words and attitudes, I guess these two aren't even on their teeth about Alphilis or anything. Besides, it didn't seem like he was serving Miranda wholeheartedly either.

Alphilis looking right at Miranda, but Miranda has also guessed what that gaze means, and she has agreed with Alphilis with her gaze. Miranda goes on explaining without having time for the two pilgrims to suspect that exchange.
