Renault approached the window and looked out. It looked like two servants were talking.

"Master Rudolf, what's wrong with him?"

"It seems we can't abandon the investigation."

"Are they going to continue after being hurt like that?"

"I said the same thing. But he didn't listen and said it was dangerous for monsters to come to the city."

"It's really the style of Lord Rudolph."

"By the way, what about the rope?"

"You mean that kind of strong rope with lead added? It was delivered this morning. What is that used for?"

"Catch monsters."

"for what......"

The two slowly moved away from the window, and the sound gradually faded away and could no longer be heard.

"Capturing monsters? For what purpose?" Renault suddenly looked at the bookshelf, "Grim should be studying animal transformation magic." He chuckled.

"That's it." Renault left the study with satisfaction and prepared to go to Rudolph's room. Found the room easily and knocked on the door.

"Please come in." Hearing a knock on the door, Renault opened the door and walked in.

"Ah, it's you, I've been waiting for you." Rudolph was sitting on a chair deep in the room, reading.

"About thanking you..."

"Before that, I have a question." Reno interrupted, and Rudolph frowned.

"What is the problem?"

"Are you going to conquer or capture the owner of the forest?"

Rudolf was surprised. This question suddenly appeared without any foreshadowing. The young man may have "aware" of it.

"You..." Rudolph changed from a surprised expression to a face full of sadness, "You are such a smart boy."

This sentence made Renault more confident in his guess: "Sure enough, the master of the forest is Grim, right?" Rudolph nodded vigorously.

"Why can you detect it?"

"I overheard the conversation between the servants and learned that you placed an order for a strong rope. If you consider the safety of the town, it should be a crusade rather than a hunt, right?"

"That's true. But, it has many other uses."

Renault nodded in agreement: "I have a strange feeling."

"Strange feeling?"

"Why did you choose some novice adventurers? If you just want to conquer, you can issue a commission to the guild in the royal capital. There should be many first-class adventurers there."

The guild is an organizational structure for adventurers, responsible for coordinating work and assigning tasks to adventurers of different levels. In this case, an A-level adventurer should be suitable.

Rudolf just nodded and urged Renault to continue.

"Although he is a border lord, he must have enough financial resources to live in such a mansion and hire servants, right? This makes me feel strange."

"Did you choose the newbie because you didn't intend to kill him? It's not just that. It was a year ago that the master of the forest appeared, and it was also a year ago that Grim Rudolf disappeared."

"What? You know about this?"

"I saw it in a bookstore. After all, I used to be a fan of his."

Rudolf said happily, and then replied: "Even the master of the forest is not necessarily Grim, right?"

"The rest is just my intuition. After all, Grimm is also a researcher of animal transformation magic. I doubt whether he has violated a taboo."

Lycanthropy magic is essentially a form of magic that transforms oneself into the form of a beast. Although it is a simple magic, it is not that easy to fully understand the characteristics of transforming into a beast, etc., otherwise you may end up retaining a part of the human half-way.

So, what are the taboos? It is "demonization". By transforming yourself into a monster, you can use the characteristics, magic, and abilities of the monster. This is an epoch-making technology.

However, the monster's magic power contains trace amounts of toxic gases that are harmful to humans. Since it is real magic and not a disguise, it consumes the spirit and turns both body and mind into a monster. Therefore, it is a forbidden form of magic that is forbidden.

Rudolph was silent for a moment, and then whispered: "Intuition...yes. Renault, you are right." Rudolph confirmed weakly, his expression twisted with pain.

There were once a pair of close brothers. The older brother had a gentle personality and became a man worthy of the title of lord that his father inherited. The younger brother was diligent and intelligent and became a famous scholar. The two always get along well and will definitely help each other in times of difficulty.

However, there is one thing that my brother cannot give up no matter what, and that is the ecological nature of monsters. Although he is known as the first person, he often says that he does not fully understand the nature of monsters and expresses his desire to get a glimpse into the lives of monsters.

The elder brother expressed concern about his younger brother, but perhaps because he had learned about his younger brother's thirst for knowledge since childhood, he did not inquire further. One night, my brother woke up because of the sound of breaking window glass and felt uneasy, so he went to his brother's bedroom.

There, there was a broken window and a magic circle written all over the floor, and the brother immediately understood what was happening. The brother regretted his foolishness and indiscretion.

You should communicate with him more and pay more attention to your younger brother. Despite his feelings of remorse, Rudolf remained calm.

Violate taboos and even renowned scholars can be caught as violators. If you are unlucky, you may even be sentenced to death.

Therefore, he chose to conceal the truth. He found some trusted people and treated it as a disappearance.

Although he is a famous scholar, he often stays at home recently, and the town is a border area. These two points have played a certain role, so he has not attracted much attention.

That's when a "master" appeared in the forest.
