If Jin had seen them, he would have immediately recognized that they were of the same form as those worn by the golem that Jix brought with him.
However, the color is different. It was a dull, matte gray.
"Sorry! Are you all right, there!"
Lukoil notices the other carriage.
"Hey! You guys! You guys, get a hold of yourselves!"
Vivienne helped her coachman to his feet.
"Ugh......"
"Oh, my God. ......"
"Thank God you're all right."
"No, I'm not all right. ......
I hurt all over. ......
"If you can talk like that, you'll be fine."
That's a hell of a thing to say. ......
Vivienne and the other driver seems to have only a few bruises, but the other driver's carriage is...
"Hey! Hey! Hey!
The other carriage seems to be out of it.
The other carriage has four horses, and there seems to be no one on it but the driver.
"Mr. Lukor, how are you doing?
"Oh Vivi......via, I'm not well. I think I hit my head, I'm still unconscious.
It is a young man. Lukor was shaking him to make him realize what was happening, so Vivian stopped him.
"Hey! Don't shake him too much!
By this time, the guards of the Golem competition venue had heard the commotion and rushed to the scene.
Seeing two horse-drawn carriages lying on the ground, anyone could tell what had happened.
So the first thing to do is to deal with the accident.
Since we had one golem with us for security, the first thing we did was to wake up the overturned carriages and move them to the side of the road.
The carriage of Lukor and his team was light and easy to raise because it had almost no baggage, but the other party's carriage was not so easy.
"What ...... is that?"
"Oh ...... it's heavy!"
It took two guards and a golem to finally wake up the carriage.
The other man was still unaware of the situation, so Lukor, Vivienne, and the two assistants who had been acting as the guards explained the situation to him.
"I was in a hurry to watch the golem competition (gompetition), and I bumped into that carriage coming out of the side, and we both fell down.
"Hmm."
The healer who had been at the golem competition was called in to treat the man who had fainted.
"<>"
However, it seems that he can only use elementary healing magic, and it doesn't work very well.
"For now, let's take him to the first-aid room at the venue, shall we?
"That would be better."
The two guards consulted with each other and decided to have the golem carry the man.
One of them followed him, and one stayed behind to take care of Lukor and the others.
"What about the wagon over there?"
"Oh, I'll move them."
The man helping him offered.
"Oh, then I want you to move both of them not to the side of the road, but to the open space over there for the wagons.
This is the parking lot for the golem competition (gompetition). There was still some space available, so he asked us to move the carriages there.
The man helping to move the other party's carriage looked doubtful.
"What's wrong?"
Vivian, who was still in the distance, heard the murmur and asked, "What's wrong?
"No, I'm just feeling heavy. ......It must be carrying a very heavy load."
"...... Hmm?"
Vivienne thought that the guard who had just woken the carriages had said something like that.
"Is it a heavy load? ...... What in the world is it?"
* * * * * *
It was a casual remark, but a part of the truth was hidden in it.
The <><>, who is guarding Vivian secretly, has been watching the whole thing and has transmitted it to the old man.
The old man guessed that it must have something to do with the golem that is currently participating in the golem competition (gompetition).
Since there is no urgent matter at this moment, the "Mere Old Man" gave such a moderate order.
The "Mere Old Man" was not so sure.
"For the time being, while complying with the law. ......
After receiving the order, <>, another < of the <> who is escorting Vivienne together with <, another <>, tells <, another of the <> who is escorting Vivienne, that is to go with . Ash, the other <> who was escorting Vivienne with him, temporarily took over the responsibility of escorting Vivienne, while he searched around the accident site.
"Is there anything that might give us a clue?
His sharp eyes caught a glimpse of something.
"This is ......."
A piece of metal. Judging by the color, it must be a piece of the armor that had just tumbled out.
It must have been chipped by the impact of the fall. It is more fragile than we thought.
It is only a small piece that can fit in one's palm, but it is enough for analysis.
"If you can't tell the original shape of the object, it's a piece of trash, isn't it? If a piece of metal is on the street, someone might get hurt. It would make sense to clean it up.
secures it as the first clue.
"I doubt there are any more ......."
But, as expected, there seems to be nothing left in its place.
"Then, there might be a clue in the carriage over there..."
Wearing the <> magic once again, <> heads for the carriage.
* * * * * *
The carriage in which Vivian and the others had ridden and the carriage of the other party who had caused the accident were placed side by side in the wagon yard.
The men helping Vivienne and her family are taking a nap in the carriage of Vivienne and her family.
At the same end of the lot, there is a guard station and a temporary first aid room where Vivienne, Lecole, and the man who fainted seem to be.
On the other side of the wagon, there are two guards who are trying to make a cursory check, according to the rules, to see if there are any hazardous materials on board.
(Just as well. (Just in time. Let me show you from the side.)
Vivienne and Lecole's carriage, with only two napping assistants and minimal baggage, is checked in a matter of minutes.
But the other carriage's baggage...
"Hey, what's this?"
The same armor I saw earlier, for more than a dozen people.
"That's some strange armor. Even if it's from ......, it's still light."
"What's this? ...... it's true. It looks like steel or something.
Maybe it's a new material. I guess they're here to sell it to the crowd."
The armor made of the mysterious metal was not so suspicious.
And then.
"And then there are two ...... barrels. Do they contain water or liquor?"
The guard tapped the barrels with the baton in his hand. A low thud sounded.
"Hey, hey, what's that sound?
"At least it doesn't sound like there is water in it."
The same sound was also heard by , and the same sound was also passed on to the old man.
