City Mayor Panasole raised his head and looked at the sunlight streaming through the window. He squinted briefly, then spoke apologetically.
"Sorry. Warm sunlight makes it easy to get sleepy."
Ainzach lightly shook his head. "This is a bit unusual. I was planning to notify you specifically, but I didn't expect you to come in person."
"Your Excellency, you should take better care of your health," Laxil said with a smile from the side.
"You know me. I've always been rather lazy," City Mayor Panasole chuckled.
The atmosphere of the conversation between the three was quite harmonious. Clearly, they had a good relationship.
"Well then... let's discuss business," City Mayor Panasole said.
At those words!
Ainzach and Laxil both turned serious.
City Mayor Panasole looked extremely fat and incompetent, but as his friends, the two of them knew very well.
Not only was he not incompetent, he was actually quite shrewd and capable.
As the Re-Estize Kingdom's most important border city, "E-Rantel" stood at the very front line against the Baharuth Empire.
As long as His Majesty the King was not foolish, he would never send an incompetent person to govern "E-Rantel"!
And the current king was far from mediocre.
The fact that he had bypassed the noble system to create the position of Warrior Captain for the commoner Gazef and allowed him to form a new army was enough to prove that.
"This is the situation."
"Over the past half month, the number of villages and merchant caravans attacked by Goblins has clearly decreased."
"In fact, there have been no reports of Goblin attacks during this period," Ainzach said solemnly.
Laxil, president of the Magic Guild, asked in confusion, "Isn't that a good thing?"
"Whether it is a good thing cannot be judged solely by the current situation."
