A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

The development of new territories can never be ignored by neighboring lords.

This is because there is a risk of rubbing with water rights and land boundaries when bordering the territory. Most of them help to draw lines such as streets, mountains, rivers, and forests, but people who cannot fly in the sky cannot see the map and view it from an overhead perspective.

For this reason, “a little mistake” can cause people and soldiers to step into the land of other lords, but it is an implicit understanding that there are aspects to each other, so it is a little quiet.

If you don't stop the river upstream, do river construction to change the flow of the river, root out crops from fields in other territories, break into the mine on your own, steal, and kill your people, you rarely collide in real life unless you're clearly selling fights.

The inland part of Mataroi - if it is a safe territory that does not have contact with other countries, or even if it is located at the outer edge of Mataroi, it is necessary to cooperate in the event of an incident.

Therefore, it is only foolish to poke corners at each other from a daily basis, rather, it is more common to cooperate with each other by pointing at something.

There are some lands where there have been troubles in the past and the lords and residents are competing with each other, but in that case, other neighboring lords and large aristocrats will break bones and “make up” so that they can cooperate in the event of an incident.

Of course, we help each other because we have the appropriate intention and taste, but as a fellow member of the framework of a country called Mataroi, we sometimes offer help by weaving some losses into it.

It's about helping to create new towns and villages, like Natalia, who recently became a baron and gained territory.

Although not free of charge, there are several forms of support, such as selling building materials, lending labor needed to develop territory, and patrolling the lord's land to soldiers to exterminate bandits and monsters until security stabilizes.

However, there is no point in supporting it - if development is likely to be frustrated, we may not be able to help from the beginning.

A junior in the same situation who serves a newly aristocratic country called Mataroi, but knows from the beginning that it will fail and few help. Even if we swallow up some of the losses, in the long run there are various benefits to support us.

From that point of view, some of the lands Natalia has taken over, called Montrat, are harsh.

Once upon a time, the failure to exploit, the quality and quantity of monsters, etc., would not have led to the support of the lineage where the territory was acquired. It may have been strange to give a little support from the body and pretend to be unknown.

However, if the new lord is famous and competent, the premise is overturned.

Montrat's land was acquired by the Amendura family, who had been preparing for independence as a quasi-bar for four generations, while the contemporary lord was Natalia, the youngest in Mataroi's history, who ascended to the ranks of general of the national army.

Among the nobles and soldiers, it was known nationally and internationally in the name of "wind and dust," and it was not uncommon for a lord with land on the “border” to meet Natalia, who was patrolling the country when he led the Third Magic Corps. Some of them have been on the battlefield together.

Such Natalia became a baron and gained territory. If Natalia is not only a martial arts player but also a politically prolific Natalia, it is worthy of support without hesitation - it is not yet enough.

Some lords think it is good to support Natalia's existence alone, but the land of Montrat is not so small that Natalia alone can manage it.

Eliminate monsters and bandits to develop the land. No matter how famous Natalia is as a wizard, there are limits to what she can do alone. For this reason, neighboring lords focused on the “other” part.

Then, we decided to support the focused results.

There are three reasons, one of which is that Collard, who became an associate baron of Natalia, was assigned. Not as good as Natalia, but quite facial, and there were many lords who had taken care of things since the time of the knights.

One is the presence of Sarah and Neddy, who were recognized as spirits in the cathedral of the King's City. This promised the help of spirituals at least. In addition, some of the residents were willing to help, making it easier for them to turn to support as lords.

And finally, "Monster eater" - recently, there is a realuse called "Spirit Man" in “Rumor from King's City”.

With the cooperation of the Spirits, there is an assistant named Collard under Natalia, and there is a power called Reurus who fought Bernard well. Compared to the time when development failed, the enrichment of combat power is unparalleled.

Those conditions were in place, and the Marquis Grimer and Count Werg had promised support, so had the landlords adjacent to Baron Amendura decided to do the same.

Also, for merchants who live in the vicinity of Baron Amondola's territory, the “story of this time” cannot be missed more than the lord. We need a variety of materials to grow the city, and just one of them is a big business opportunity.

Food, building materials, household supplies, weapons and protective equipment, tools, horses for farming and transportation, and medicine for convenient magic equipment and helmets.

I need a lot of things, and I can sell them at a slightly higher price. However, given the latter, it is foolish to sell at a high price.

Similarly, if you set a higher price than other merchants who rushed to sell the product, they would buy it from you. No matter how much materiel you need, you may be able to drop off purchases if you set a price at your feet.

If you sell what you need at the right price or at a slightly cheaper price, you may become a "customer” who buys on a continuous basis. When you build a town, you'll need huge amounts of material and work for a long time.

It could be profitable in the long run and not rooted in other merchants. Moreover, it is the land called Montrat that has been largely untouched by the abundance of monsters. Merchants with nearby stores will naturally be interested, as valuable products may emerge.

There were many merchants who were interested in doing so, in addition to the merchants who had stores in the territory near Baron Amendura, as well as pedestrians who had travelled from afar to hear rumors, and some who led caravans from King's Land.

Protecting such merchants is part of the support of the lords, although there are dangers in monster-ridden lands. I had soldiers escort me to the land I was working on.

"Are these the people who brought you the materials? I'm cleaning a little now, so please proceed carefully.

On his way to the town where he was supposed to be building, he encountered a Reurus that smiled while dragging a bloodstained bear.

The same is true of the towns that were engaged in construction work, but it would be difficult if the monsters attacked people in the neighboring territories who were carrying the materials.

With that idea in mind, Reurus, who had been instructed by Collard, was taking Elizabeth and encouraging him to “clean up” the streets connecting Baron Amendura with the rest of the territory.

The area around the planned construction site of the town is under the influence of several days of rioting, or the arrival of monsters is decreasing. Also, the black snake that surprised the Reurus and the others could not be seen since either it crushed the sewer nest or there was no nest nearby.

So Reurus, who hunted some of the monsters in the neighborhood in a short period of time, decided that Collard and the dwarves would be able to deal with them in a reasonable amount of time and set out on the street.

Of course, we won't go that far in case a powerful monster emerges. If there was anything, it would raise the wolf smoke and let me know what was strange, so I could only get away at a distance of less than an hour at the rate of movement of the Reuses.

However, unlike when we were heading to the planned construction site in town, we didn't have a heavy luggage truck with us. If the Reuses move at full speed, they can travel a considerable distance in an hour.

I borrowed a wagon and a horse to load the monsters I hunted, but the empty loads didn't slow me down.

From time to time, while checking whether the smoke is rising, we find the source of heat for the monsters and go hunting for them. From time to time, Reus used the sword "Dragon Slasher" and "Head Hunting" to scratch the trees beside the street without saying that this place was his territory.

Though I was careful not to damage the trees, I thought it would be good if the smell of the fire dragon Vanille and the "neck hunting" didn't get close to the monster.

It may be better to roll the monster that I took down, but if it doesn't work, the horned meat will be wasted. For this reason, Reurus and the others were bold enough to fight the monsters around the street from time to time.

"Hmm... ah, is there a lot of heat coming this way? Maybe these are the people Collard was talking about, because they don't seem like monsters in the way they move?

"Whoa, did you bring the materials? With all the materials, Calvin's grandpa will build us a house soon, and I can't help it....."

"But there's a monstrous heat source nearby for them!

"Say it quickly!

If the monster attacked you even though you brought the materials, you can't expect “next” support. So Reus left Eliza and the others here and ran away with Sarah alone.

Running through the woods in less than three minutes, they discover a haunted bear approaching the street.

"Better than you!

A horny rabbit is hardly likely to cause much damage, but it would be troublesome to be attacked by an intermediate monster. In order to manipulate the flame magic, there is also a risk of catastrophe if the flame is thrown up in the forest.

The Reurus, who decided so, plunged straight into a haunted bear called Orzo. By speaking up, the transformed bear turned around in response - in the next moment, the "neck hunting" sword penetrated the transformed bear's heart.

Gah!?

It is easy to use in places with obstacles. On top of that, the sharpness of the sharpness of the prick will exceed the 'Dragon Slash'.

With that in mind, Reurus twists the "neck hunting" sword, spreading his wounds and completely destroying the heart of the Bear. Still the last resistance, one of the four arms was lifted, and the head of the revus was hanging and swinging down.

"Oh, that's so sweet."

Reurus releases the 'Head Hunting' sword and avoids his swinging down arm. Then he grabbed the "Dragon Slash" and smashed the head of the broken bear with a sheath, and with a single blow he reaped consciousness.

As Zilba once taught me, the fur of a haunted bear can be sold at a high price. Therefore, it is better to have as few scratches as possible.

Your body is losing power and gradually leaning. But Reus grabbed the bear's arm before he fell, and pulled out the "neck hunting" sword to prevent it from being laid down.

"I'm glad that this guy can sell high because he can eat well, but if he lives in such a habitat, the passers-by gets attacked and it's troublesome....."

"Let's drain the blood and take it home. Tonight, there are still other meats that have been frozen, grilled with bear meat..."

"I don't have half left... but let's call them before we get back. I don't know if that's true, but it's also possible to steal a field that turned into a merchant."

With those words, Reurus takes Sarah closer to the street. Dragging the Bear to avoid being taken by other monsters.

As they approached him, they found out that those who came through the streets would have come to support the development, as Collard had said.

Horse-lined wagons are loaded with food and timber, and some of them are manually hauling their wagons. There are soldiers and thinkers around it who think it's for the escort, and they look vigilantly at the realus that approached as they scratched through the forest.

For that reason, Reurus decided to hold his weapon and speak with a smile to make it look as friendly as possible.

"Are these the people who brought you the materials? I'm cleaning a little now, so please proceed carefully.

I have traveled as far as I can to hunt monsters, so I should be able to reach the town I'm working on safely.

Collard will take care of it when we arrive. They should be able to trade with the gold they brought from Laval Waste City and the monster materials they've taken down so far.

"Come, what about you?

"Ah, I'm late. The town ahead... I'm in the process of building it, but it's called Reurus, who works in that town. This is Sarah the Spirit of Fire. There were some monsters until we got here, but I'm hunting them all, so please go ahead with peace of mind.

When Lewes answered with a smile because he was asked by a vigilant soldier, the soldier stole the weapon with a pulled smile.

"I see... I'll let you through..."

Yeah, be careful.

That said, Reurus drops off a crowd of people heading down the street. Sarah leaned her neck beside her.

"Hey, Reurus. It's a long way from town, so maybe it's time to go back.

"That's right... the guards were there, but we're going after them now. I'm visiting the town for the first time even if it's under construction, and if anything happens, I don't mind. Meet Eliza and the others on the way and follow with vigilance."

Because trucks do not exist, the amount of material that can be transported is limited. Still, the materiel that Reurus dropped off from the caravan is very much appreciated.

Wood carries trees harvested from nearby forests and can't be used if Neddy drains the water. However, when the water drains rapidly, it is often flashy cracked or bent to become useless.

In addition, it seems that the draining of water from the tree will deplete the magic as often as it can fly the water of clothes.

So I really appreciated the materials that came from elsewhere. Using the materials brought in this time, we will be able to build two or three houses in a simple way. Using wood only for the roof may double it.

(That said, it's going to be a “normal town”... just like in the abandoned city of Laval, just a house with a roof on the earth wall... don't you think?)

If the house that can prevent the rain wind is completed at all, it will become like a town.

Reurus followed the caravan by dragging the Bear of Decay, imagining the town that was about to change.
