A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 211 The Viscount of Werg Part 1

A carriage runs through the town of Accra as the wheels rattle.

There are cobblestones on the streets as large as the boulevards of the abandoned city of Laval, and the vibrations transmitted to the Reurus in the carriage are not so strong.

The chairs installed inside the carriage are highly cushioned with plenty of cotton, and the carriage has a mechanism to reduce vibration.

Reurus and the six of Esther would have been a bit cramped, but they still had the quality they deserved to carry their guests.

(So, I'm renting out a carriage like that... I don't know what you think.)

Regardless of Estelle, Reurus and the others are adventurers. Even if you helped Ruvillia and Diego a little, it's not too much to deal with.

I may have taken these kinds of measures to protect my courtesy to my benefactor, but as a realuse that has only been treated at the bottom since I was born in this world, my vigilance comes first.

Diego sits on the podium with the Emperor, and it is difficult to shake the conversation from the carriage. As a result, Reurus sighed one sigh and knelt down carefully to avoid kicking the feathered "Dragon Slasher" on the floor as he got into the carriage.

"Hmm... a carriage is amazing! Hey Reurus! Let Calvin make it when we get back to the abandoned city of Laval!

"Can we all use Enhancements to move around? You don't need a carriage... or you don't have a horse to tow."

Sarah shouted excitedly from the small window on the side of the carriage looking out at the landscape, but as a realuse, she could only laugh bitterly.

It would certainly be useful to have a carriage on a long journey, but of course the carriage does not move without a horse. However, I have never seen a horse in the abandoned city of Laval, and I don't even know if the inhabitants of the abandoned city should own horses or carriages in the first place.

"I can see the house of the Viscount Velg."

Speaking in the carriage for a while after leaving the church, Diego opens a small window leading to the podium. Reurus, who was caught by it and checked the condition outside, accidentally pulled his cheek.

What seemed to be the way to the carriage was a large house.

Around the squarely divided site, a circular and water borehole was set up, and a stone wall of about three meters was built after crossing the water borehole as a countermeasure against the outer enemy. The stone walls seem to be wide enough for people to ride, with occasional sentry soldiers coming and going.

The water borehole is nearly five meters wide, and even if you use "reinforcement", it will be difficult to jump over the stone wall with a single jump. In addition, it seems that soldiers are constantly lookin 'around the Mansion, and the armed men can be seen walking in pairs.

Looking at the four sides of the site and the main gate and the shady place, there was also a sentry tower made of wood, and it seemed that the sentry soldiers were watching the surroundings from a height of about ten meters.

And beyond such a pond and stone wall, there is a mansion that can be seen as huge from a distance.

The only large-scale structures Reurus has ever seen in this world are the 'Altar' for the Spirit of Fire, where Sarah was born. The "altar" was also huge, with a side of 100 meters and a height of nearly 20 meters, but the mansion that seemed to be far away was no less large than that.

(Wow... I knew there was money there. How much does construction cost?

It was more like a castle than a mansion, as it was defended by a pond, stone wall, and sentinel tower. Though it was a revus that thought unexpectedly how much the construction cost would be, I wonder if it was built with an unimaginable amount of assets.

The carriage proceeds straight to the main gate, taking the Reurus, which secretly fights like this, elsewhere. In the water moat in front of the main gate, there is a jumping bridge like the Laval gate, and if anything happens, it will increase your defenses by pulling it up.

The gate itself had a large pillar made of stone, one on the left and one on the right, and even a semi-circular arch was made by stone technology alone, which showed the amount of money spent and the high level of technology.

Arch-shaped main entrance with the family crest of the Värg family and thought relief embedded in the front.

(Crossing swords and spears... flowers behind them? What flower?

Reus, who lived far away from flowers in previous and present life, tilted his neck without knowing what flowers were used for his family crest. Instead, Eliza and the others looked around and exclaimed their admiration at the exterior of the mansion, and none of them were looking at the family crest.

(... well, it's nothing important.)

It was a realuse that thought of that, but just because the realuse didn't notice it, the same family crest is engraved on the carriage that he is currently riding. So none of the soldiers who stood guard of the main gate did anything, and they stood ready to give up their weapons.

Beyond the main entrance in this way, there was so much sight that I thought it was another world.

A straight path leading to the Mansion and walls of tall trees made to sandwich the path. The garden of the mansion is replete with trees, and a flower bed is set up to entertain visitors.

I am growing flowers and leaves to welcome visitors even in the early spring, and I wonder how much time it takes.

I suppose someone who manages the garden is hired exclusively. The dressing was enough to exhale without even thinking of Reurus.

But some people aren't surprised by the sight around them. The Reurus and the others were all surprised, including Neddy, but Esther looked at the garden and murmured.

"It's a nice garden inside...."

Whether they were different in sensitivity or had seen “more” gardens, the tone of the ester's voice was as impressive as the colour of the senses, and the colour of the surprise did not contain fine dust.

The only person who noticed such an ester murmur was Reurus, who turned his gaze unexpectedly, but Esther never looked at it together. Just look at the garden and look back at your memories.

The carriage slows down gradually as the garden turns a blind eye. Apparently we have arrived at the Mansion and Diego will call out when the carriage stops completely.

"We've arrived. Please get off the carriage."

Following Diego's words, Reurus and the others alighted from the carriage. As a precaution, Reurus went down first and checked the surroundings, but naturally he could not see the suspicious person.

Mr. Esther, give me your hand.

Eliza, who comes out of the carriage lightly, has no problem, but Reurus helps the highest ester in the line.

Thank you very much for being polite ~

Though Esther glanced slightly, she quickly took Reus' hand and got down to the ground as she was used to. Reus made sure everything was all right, including Eliza, and followed Diego's lead as he approached the Mansion door.

"... Diego-san, it's probably too late to ask, but are you sure you want to keep your sword on? And the way we dress....."

In front of the huge mansion, which used plenty of wood and stone, Reurus was worried about their outfits now.

It is difficult to be unarmed and defensive in Esther's defense position, but I didn't think it would be a good fit to enter the aristocratic mansion.

"Don't worry about that area. I've been instructed by Mr. Lewis to look good as usual."

Do you think Lewis and the others won't get mad, or is Lewis gorgeous? Or do you think you can suppress the Reurus even if they get violent? I didn't know what Lewis was thinking, but I decided to follow it if I didn't have to worry about dressing up.

Still, as a precaution, I checked Eliza's outfits and quickly repaired the disturbed areas of her hair.

It was Diego who was watching the realuses, but when he made sure they were ready, he rang the knockers that were installed on the double-opened doors twice or three times. Then the door opens slightly after a few seconds.

"By order of Louis, I have brought my guests."

The door was opened by a woman who thought she was a maid and looked back when she heard Diego's words. Then he nodded a few times and opened the door wide.

― ― Reus unexpectedly opened his eyes to the sight that was spreading beyond the door.

Beyond the entrance, there was a red carpet in the hall that was commensurate with the enormity of the Mansion, and many men and women lined up to welcome the Reurus.

Like the maids who opened the door, there were about twenty maids of the same age who thought that they were elderly and elderly, and dressed in maid clothes with long sleeves up to the bottom of the knee.

Though there are fewer men than such maids, there are about ten men in black butler clothes. Similar to maids, the age ranges from the elderly to the young.

And there was a young man standing in the back more than a line of butlers and men and women who thought they were maids.

It was Lewis, who once looked at Lewis - Lewis was unexpectedly confused.

(Hmm, you're kind of sneaking around... are you okay?

Unlike when he was face-to-face, Lewis wore white clothes that he thought were made of fine fabric. The shape is similar to a tuxedo and is decorated everywhere, but I don't have a vulgar impression that I am careful not to become more gorgeous than necessary.

Louis is taller than Reurus, has blonde blue eyes, is cool and looks good on his face, and is dressed in white - but it looks like his eyes are dead because of fatigue.

Still have the eyes of the guests (Reurus) or smile softly to hide fatigue.

"Sorry to bother you. Louis-Vis-El-Sin-Verg, the current deputy of the Viscount Verg."

The word was directed to Reurus. Lewis's consciousness seemed to be directed to Reurus, either because he was leading the way as Esther's escort.

(... I've been called in, but don't bother to react if you're so generous.)

I don't know how to answer when a nobleman is against me. Should I speak the same way as before, or should I use excessive respect?

"Nice to meet you. My name is Esther of the Spirit Teacher."

Esther began introducing herself to Louis to protect the confused Reurus. The tone is unusual and somehow serious.

Having heard the words of Esther, Louis deepened his smile and lowered his head slightly with his right hand against his chest.

"Nice to meet you, Esther. Thank you for coming all the way to the territory of the Werg family."

"Don't worry about it. This is also my role as a spiritual teacher."

Esther replies in thanksgiving. Meanwhile, Reurus, who got back on his feet, lowered his head to mimic Esther.

"Reurus, an intermediate adventurer from the abandoned city of Laval. I will accompany Esther as her escort this time."

I know your face, but you should say hello. With that in mind, Lewis introduced himself, and Louis narrowed his distance with a disgrace.

"Hi, it's been a while! I know what you're doing!

Louis smiles refreshingly as he leaves his distance from Reurus unsuspecting. The bright attitude makes you feel intimate, and if anyone who doesn't know anything sees the sight, it would have seemed happy to resume a long time ago with an old friend.

I wanted to talk to you about something! Your visit is most welcome!

Despite the fact that Lewis was carrying the Dragon Slash and consolidating himself with leather armor, Lewis laughed as he slapped Lewis on the shoulder without seeing the dust look alert.
