A Chronicle of Life in a Different World
Chapter 538: Preparations Part 3
Gilba arrived in King's Landing and the Reurus, who had finished explaining the street, could not leave immediately.
Sometimes it's not ready, but when I arrived in King's Landing, I found out that Gilba had run through with a forceful army.
It took about ten days for the Reurus, who did not encounter the bandits, to reach King's Landing from the abandoned city of Laval, without the help of Eliza.
Gilba, far from the abandoned city of Laval, found out about Leurus's narratives while arranging materials for churches built in the town of Speranza near the town of Lemona and Baron Amendura's territory and making deals with spirituals, and still felt the "stinky stuff” in the background and ran away alone.
Gilba ran for nearly two weeks at the speed of the Reurus' journey to King's Landing in less than ten days. After hearing about it, Reurus pulled his cheeks and suggested that he rest for a while.
"If the heathens are stupid, I can forget about tiredness and fight....."
"Not only the Gregorians, but there are other problems, so I have a little time to spare. So rest. Sarah and Neddy are at home, so you can pray whatever you want...."
It was Gilba who rushed through on such a rude schedule that Reurus made such a suggestion. However, I thought it would be helpful because it is Gilba as a revus.
"And there's Tina, but please don't kill her. We'll split up when we leave King's Landing, so please at least miss it until then.
"... let's do something good"
Gilba nodded reluctantly as Reurus drew attention to Tina. After seeing it, Reurus decided to ask Sarah and Neddy to stay as close to Tina as possible.
So Reurus, who finished dealing with Gilba, took Eliza and Meer and left the house behind. Considering the possibility that the Gregorians are lurking, we aim for the residence of the Count of Velg in a fully armed state wearing all the armor and a "neck hunting" sword and dagger on the Spirit Sword Radia.
Reurus and the others fought the Gregorians, but Louis and the others did not. Fighting with Countess Doria
The goal is to solve it, and while Reurus and the others are away from King's Landing, we will leave you to deal with it all.
Natalia also reached out to her former captain of the Third Magic Corps and went out to find out if there were any materials to improve the situation. Because of the time constraints, it was necessary for Reurus to take care of the discussion with Lewis and the others.
The House of the Count of Werg is located in the corner of the nobles' mansion, so there is little chance of interchange with the inhabitants of the King's City. However, there were people who were completely armed and had their eyes rounded with something about the appearance of Reurus wearing a jacket.
When you visit the residence of the Count of Werg, the gatekeeper standing in front of the gate will have a faint look. But because I knew Reurus' face, I lowered my head with a smile of affection.
"Here, this is the Baron Reurus. What can I do for you today...."
"I came to talk to Count Werg about the other day. Are you home?
"Wait a minute....."
Listening to Reurus, one of the gatekeepers immediately rushes out. Reus leaned his neck in response, but within a few minutes the gatekeeper returned and opened the gate.
Reurus lightly lowered his head to the gatekeeper and proceeded to the residence of the Count of Werg. Then he saw Louis scratching his cold sweat in the distance, and Sebastian standing next to him, looking slightly cautious but natural.
"Hello, Mr. Reurus. The soldiers at the gate told me you wore armor and came with your weapon... and you were angry about Serras, right? But that's exactly what I want you to do..."
Lewis shook his neck with his face to Lewis as he pulled his cheeks a little.
"No, I was really surprised when I got the report. Ah, I knew I was angry... but it was a misunderstanding."
"I'm sorry to disturb you... but as I was saying, Gregorianism is involved."
Reurus, who went to the reception room, gave a brief account of "so far” in order to solve Lewis's misunderstanding. That's why the Gregorians were targeted, and why the Reurus were targeted, but I told them that the dragon case was false and that the Gregorians were leaping forward and had been asked to defeat it.
The army has repeatedly told the Count of Werg that it has nothing to do with it, considering the possibility that Gregorians are also infiltrating the King's City.
"But I see... they are again..."
Louis, who has a past in which Gregorians were involved in his own territory, murmured with a bitter face.
"Yeah... this time it's going to catch fire, so I can't just leave you alone."
"Can't you promise that you'll be okay...? Baron Amondola can't move, can he? Without the support of the King's army..."
"After all, Zilba ran for me."
"I was thinking of lending out our soldiers, but I'd rather pull my legs. Yes, Lord Jilba....."
If the Gregorians were against them, no one would be so reliable. Louis exhales relieved that he was in the same mood as Reurus.
"But I see... you're throwing yourself into such a fight... Sebastian"
Louis whispers something whispering when he calls Sebastian close. Then Sebastian greeted Reurus and quietly left the reception room and returned a few minutes later.
"Mr. Lewis, I have it."
Yeah, thanks.
Sebastian has a small wooden box in his hand and hands it over to Lewis. Reurus, who was watching the interaction, leaned his neck with his heart alone.
-What is that? I can feel the magic...)
From the wooden crate that Sebastian brought, I felt a powerful magic that I couldn't hide.
When Lewis opened the crate and checked the contents, he nodded one by one and then stood up and walked towards Reurus.
"Mr. Reurus, take this."
That's how he presents a rectangular wooden box. The wooden box was large enough to be grasped by Reurus with one hand, but there was a flower sculpture on the surface, and the wooden box itself was reinforced with metal such as horns.
"... what is this?
"Apologies for Seras... the“ advance. ”Open it."
Reurus leaned his neck, but opened the crate according to Lewis's words. And when he checks the contents, Reurus opens his eyes.
In the wooden box, there were three “pedestals” made of folded silk fabric, and a purple gem about five centimeters in diameter was placed on the pedestal.
"Is this... 'Magic Stone'?
When Lewis asked, Lewis nodded back.
"Ah, it's the Magic Stone we own. I thought you'd be happier with these things than with the money."
"I just wanted it, and I'm happier than gold... isn't this pretty expensive?
"Magic Stone" is an ore that accumulates magic, but the color intensity also changes depending on the amount of magic accumulated. Compared to the "Magic Stone" Reus had seen so far, it was a little smaller, but the magic that could be felt was very large inside.
As expected, it is cheap compared to "treasure ball", but "magic stone" is also a fairly expensive substitute as far as Reurus knows.
"As for the amount... well, is that it? But it's a small expense compared to what happens between us and you."
"Is this a trivial expense..."
Reus thought that the support money that was given in accepting this request, the nobility, really has the money. Of course, there are poor aristocracy without money.
After hearing Lewis unexpectedly leak his thoughts, Lewis shook his shoulders with a bitter smile.
"As a matter of good faith, you will be caught in the crossfire between us and the Viscount Doria over Serras. You see, Baron Amondola said that you were unilaterally harmed."
"You were talking like that. I think it's Tongton because of Ruvillia's behavior, but isn't that right?
"Yeah... honestly, if you're going to retaliate not only against the Viscount Doria, but against us, it's something you can't stop. And for my part, I definitely want to avoid“ that kind of thing ”... settlement money for that. This isn't money, is it?
Reurus looks at Eliza sideways, looking at Lewis as he deepens his bitter smile. And Eliza immediately nodded, and Reus closed the lid of the crate and put it on the desk in front of her for a moment.
"Thank you very much. But I'm kind of sorry. As far as I'm concerned, the Duke of Doria doesn't have the slightest idea of Lewis getting into trouble."
"It would be helpful if you could say so... but just for the record, if you were to turn your sword against our house, we wouldn't have enough power to stop you. If you think about the damage done to it, it's so cheap... yeah, really."
(When I hear that, it looks like you're getting a shingle....)
There are no shards of such feelings in Reurus, but it seems like they cannot be swallowed from Lewis.
"Besides, this is just an advance, right? I want you to“ tighten up "Countess Doria's house and let me talk about the settlement money again. I'll have the house pay for what I have to pay for."
That said, Louis had a smile that made him feel terrible. Speaking of Serras, Reurus was victimized not only by the Counts of Werg but also by the Viscount of Doria.
However, since Vicomte Doria, who had never been with him before, and Louis, who had put Ruville in danger, was angry, he also intended to throw a round at Vicomte Doria.
Depending on the trend of fighting Gregorians, this is one of the reasons why it will no longer be a part of the story.
"I see. But if I don't come back...."
"I don't want to make that assumption... but I'll discuss it with Baron Amendura, your“ superior. ”Compared to what Reurus gave you, who suffered direct damage, the settlement money would be lower by a few steps."
"Please."
Lewis somehow coughed when Lewis lowered his head. And when I think I corrected my residence, I look at Reurus with serious eyes.
"However, even in these circumstances, I think if you have children, you should pay the settlement money in full... even though I don't have a wife or children."
"Hah... well, I guess so."
Reurus was a baron and was able to succeed the governor. Therefore, if there is a "inheritance”, it will be solved.
Louis slightly stepped forward and sat down on his chair as he quickly returned to me, wondering what he thought of the vaguely nodding Reurus.
"... that's why I wish you luck. There will never be a fight... but come back safely. This is not the Count of Werg, but a word from the person who thinks of you as a friend."
"Yeah... I don't want to die either."
Reurus, who thought he was going to say something about Ruvillia, replied, feeling a little bit oblivious.
(You wouldn't recommend your sister to someone who doesn't know if she's going to make it back alive... I was thinking of seeing Ruvillia, but I think we'd better leave now.)
I got "Magic Stone" unexpectedly, but I plan to go to the pharmacy I took care of the other day and buy magic medicine and so on.
(... I don't know if I can give it directly, and I'll buy some stomach medicine for Mr. Collard and give it to him.)
With that in mind, Reus took Eliza and Meer and left the House of the Count of Werg behind.
