Ascendance of a Bookworm

Socialize with other territories

"That's all I have to tell you."

When Anastasius, who had finished the conversation, stood up, he commanded me to erase the shield of Szeria, and to go outside the scope of the anti-eavesdropping magic apparatus and speak to his neighbours to collect the magic apparatus.

Anastasius turns his gaze to his adoptive father by stopping his sidekicks from moving and Aerenfest sidekicks from trying to brew and change tea.

"It was a better harvest than expected. Thank you. I must hurry back.... Oh, yeah. Aub Aerenfest. According to the Central Temple, it is truly disrespectful to God for such outrageous things as raising a knight to the altar in the midst of divinity. Like accompanying blue clerics and witches, he said. If Aerenfest even a Lordship candidate can put together a blue costume, it's not a problem."

Anastasius' word must be that if you put your cleric clothes on the escort knight, you can take him anywhere you want. I'm asking an adult escort knight to wear blue clergy and witch clothes to escort me.

... If you were my escort knight, you would wear it if you asked me, wouldn't you?

With that in mind I get out of my chair and release the shield of Szczeria. After finishing collecting his magic equipment and greeting his adoptive fathers, Anastasius flipped his cape and just walked away.

"I don't need any more tea. If you'll excuse us. Something I've been interrupting for a long time."

When the First Lady says so and greets her, she leaves with Hannelore. When a bunch of blue cloaks walk away, the next thing that comes is Crassenburg with the red cloak.

"Aub Aerenfest, do you mind?

"Absolutely, Aub Krassenburg"

My adoptive father exchanges greetings, and I also greet him in person for the first time.

"Allow me to pray for blessings to the tough sorted and rare encounter of AVILLIBE, God of Life"

"Forgive me.... I got an interesting look at the joint research while I was talking to Dunkelferger and Prince Anastasius. I was surprised that there was a lot of difference in the content of the study, even though it was a collaborative study"

Suggested seats, while tea and sweets were being prepared, Aub Krassenburg also told me about reports from the civilians who took part in the joint study.

"I went through real divinity, they said with their mouths together. The sight of all prayers coming together, the magic drawn out, and the columns of your colour rising, was so moving and stunning that it was hot behind your eyes," he said.

He said that gratitude to the royal family that supports the foundation, Jürgenschmitt, was a shocking ritual that was drawn naturally. I had similar feelings in Clarissa's report, which summarized the opinions of the civilian apprenticeships of the participating Dunkelferger, but I always listened to them in half because they were daunting.

... I didn't know the senior Aerenfest civilians because their magic flowed too far and they only said, "That's divine, isn't it?"

Is it because we hear stories of Wilfried and Charlotte going around the place at prayer and service ceremonies? Or is it because you are playing fesh peel and blessing, wondering what can be done to prevent you from leaking your blessings at the service dance, or because you are letting the gathering place regenerate, or because you are witnessing the pillars of light stand in a bang at the ritual of Ditter? Most of the senior-level civilian sentiments attending Aerenfest were sympathetic to their Lord's satisfaction with previous stories.

... Aerenfest students are used to blessings in a weird way.... is it my fault?

"Will we be performing rituals in the House of Lords again next year? I have a lot of opinions I'd like to go through other than civilian..."

"I don't have any plans for next year because this ritual was done because I needed it for a joint study with Dunkelferger. We don't get precious magic from you every year."

"I hear you've been given a lot of highly effective restorative drugs. With that, I know we can cooperate. It will help support the royal family."

Ditter this year, and I prepared magic restorative drugs because they were there to help us with our own research, but I'm not going to make that a routine. How much time would the hell have been cut off for reading in preparation for the ritual? Why should I do such a hands-on thing when it is not even for research? It's not just the guardians, it's even the royals who tell them not to do anything extra.

"With the magic gathered in temples everywhere, royalty will be delighted. The purpose for which I performed the ritual was also my desire to review the presence of the temples everywhere. I'm glad you understand Aub Krasenburg."

If you want to perform the ritual, there is a temple, so do as you please, my word seems to make sense. Aub Krassenburg raised his eyebrows lightly and turned his gaze to his adoptive father. Maybe he's complaining with his eyes, "Convince my daughter a little". My adoptive father coughed up with Cohon as he grinned in a pulling mood.

"This ritual is a collaborative study, i.e. I, the parent, should basically not speak out because it is the behavior of the student. Besides, it is within the jurisdiction of the Central Temple during the deepest part of it, so even if only once for research, it is still more likely that the groove between royalty and the Central Temple will deepen after many rituals in the House of Lords. Now that Master Eglantine is daughter-in-law of the royal family, doesn't that seem like a very welcome thing for Classenburg?

The adoptive father dismisses Aub Klasenburg's request to shield his parents from basically speaking out about the House of Lords' actions and the deterioration of relations between the central temple and the royal family. He realized that he was not willing to accept it at all. Aub Krassenburg changed the subject with a flashy face.

"A report from a merchant who traded this year tells us that Aerenfest has a lot of much rarer stuff. They say that the new books that are popular in the House of Lords are made in distant Geebe lands, but there are also a lot of novelties in the city."

There was talk of pumps and cozy carriages found by the merchants at the inn. The first year was barely popular, so I guess the merchants were surprised that it changed dramatically in a year, as the pump was also fairly widespread in the second year, although it may not have caught their eye.

"Especially since they say the pump that pumps water out of the well is groundbreaking. We had a request to be included in Classenburg."

Looking back at the civilian behind the requested adoptive father. It was Haltmoot who stepped forward and answered his adoptive father. Haltmoot is always familiar with the situation in Lower Town, as he is bound to show his face in my meetings with the merchants of Lower Town.

"Unfortunately, the pump is not yet ready for mass production. I'm very afraid we haven't had any plans to sell you in a while. Pumps need very fine parts, but few craftsmen can make them."

Pumps have to be produced by Johann for fine parts, and mass production is still difficult. Most importantly, we want to spread it to the lower town of Aerenfest rather than to other territories. If you want to spread it all the way to the south side of the city, you can't sell it to any other territory yet.

When his adoptive father nodded lightly at Haltmoot's words and returned his answer to Aub Klasenburg, "Hum," Aub Klasenburg roared.

"It may be difficult for Aerenfest artisans, but it may be possible for craftsmen in Classenburg"

That's what the civilian behind Aub Krassenburg says to Aub.

"If I were to sell the blueprints for the pump, as I sold the Cattle Curl recipe, would you accept it?

He turns his gaze to me as Haltmoot says "it may be difficult" behind his arms as his adoptive father thinks.

"Blueprints are managed by the Blacksmith Association so that a certain fee for the use of blueprints is paid to the designer, Master Rosemayne, and the blacksmith each time one is made at Aerenfest. It will be possible to sell blueprints to the Blacksmith Association in Classenburg, but we cannot give them to you unless you are able to manage them in the same way as the Blacksmith Association in Aerenfest"

Haltmoot smiled nicely as he looked at Aub and the civilians in Classenburg.

"Can it be managed by the Blacksmith Association in Classenburg or not...... It will be a difficult place. It's the great territories that keep their eyes open to civilians."

... Haltmoot! I can't trust Crassenburg because the merchant has already done something quite unsolicited, the same is true! I'm not wrong though.

"Either way, we'll have to discuss once and for all whether we can have a roundup or not. We'll see you at the Lords' Conference for more details."

That's what my adoptive father said to end my conversation with Aub Krassenburg.

When you're done talking to Crassenburg, Drevanhell is next. Next up is Haufretze, and then, Aub of Guillessenmeyer. The Aubs who come next want more trading frames, they say. "It may still be difficult this year," the four bells rang and it was lunch time while returning the kind of answer that pushed the verdict.

By the time I got back to the dorm for lunch, I'd be fine. To return to the dorm for lunch I wanted to return with a horseman, and I prayed to my adoptive father, and I returned to the dorm with a horseman.

"I'm tired..."

"Next comes the upper realm. But with Haltmoot, I was saved."

Although both adoptive fathers and civil servants have information about the printing industry and the newly sold books, I'm not so familiar with pumps and carriages that merchants just saw in downtown. I thank Hartmoot for his good support.

"I'm more than happy to help Master Rosemaine. But that's what Aub's civilian needs, isn't it?

"Hmm. I can't just leave it to them, and I have to go downtown again to find out what's going on in the lower town now, don't you think? When Ferdinand's gone, we're not gonna get any information on downtown either."

There is no more Ferdinand who was circulating reports from me and information that Justkus has been gathering. My adoptive father has to make a handout for himself to know what's going on in the lower town.

"It would be good for my adoptive father not to carry out inspections of the lower town, but to let them be civilians with my proximity. If a civilian on his way to inspect does anything extra in the lower town, I will, because I cannot forgive him. Isn't it better to get Grechelle in order and get the merchants in?

"We won't be able to, because we have their magic this year. Now, even if we increase our trading frames…"

"No, you can't. We'll never know if Grechelle can keep Lower Town beautiful until we see how it goes for a year or so, and we'll have to set up an inn or teach them how to serve customers, so we definitely need a prep period"

The lower town of Aerenfest was actively helped to keep the city by the Gutenbergs, soldiers and others. But there is no such connection to Grechelle. I had no choice but to leave it to Geebe, but Geebe also didn't have the attitude to ask the other guy's opinion just to order him downtown. I'd like to think it's improved a little, but civilians absolutely struggle for the first time in Geebe's unscrupulous.

"Just leave it to the merchants of Grechelle, as I left it to the commercial guild and the Plantain Chamber of Commerce"

"My adoptive father. Ordering merchants from other realms to be welcomed immediately at Grechelle is just like receiving the royal decree of welcoming all Aubs immediately at the castle of Aerenfest to be perfected. Aren't you in trouble?

When asked if he could offer perfect hospitality to his opponents for many territories in Aerenfest today, his adoptive father, as well as his proximity, pressed silence.

"It is true that Aerenfest must change. Let's give Grechelle a prep period and set the pace for acceptance."

For one thing, we were going to go ahead and talk to Geebe Grechelle to get the lower town of Grechelle ready early so that the merchants could be accepted.

And while he had lunch, his adoptive father started talking to Vilfreet about the contract. When you sign, you are told to be fooled if you are not careful, and always check with the civilian before signing.

"If this one triumphs in the dowry ditter, I swear to God I won't give in," Master Restylaut said, "so I thought it was an unconditional giving up of the engagement dissolution"

"I'm the same, Brother Wilfried."

But I can quickly see which one is to be trusted with the word of mouth between children in the House of Lords or with a firm contract.

"Again, I'll be careful about not checking the terms. But that's not a contract, so there's nothing wrong with that."

"It didn't even look like a contract to me at first sight, but it's a mandatory contract for dowry ditters, right?

Although it was only a piece of paper that seemed like a written report with the terms of the ditter and the number of participants, it becomes more of a contract than it has a signature. I was made good by Restylaut. Wilfried and his proximity shook their heads face-to-face at my adoptive father and at my words.

"That can't be right. That's the paperwork you need to spend your dorm budget in Dunkelferger, and only within Dunkelferger will it be effective at best"

Did Lestiraut tell you that? Wilfried insists that it only works within Dunkelferger.

"Vilfreet, but the contract will be signed at some point."

"That can't happen. The contract with Aerenfest, another territory, should not be concluded. It will not be an official contract.... Yes, you taught me better, Rosemaine"

"Did they teach me lies," Wilfried said, staring at me with a murky face. I tilted my neck, not knowing what it meant.

"Did I teach you?

"That's right. Always use parchment association paper for formal contracts. Cheap Aerenfest paper is as good as running writing and reporting. I told you to be careful because contracts on Aerenfest paper are not considered formal contracts?

"Ah!"

The voices of me and my adoptive father overlap and face to face.

... So even though I have a signature, neither I nor my adoptive father thought it was a contract.

At first glance it only appeared in the report because it used Aerenfest paper, not parchment paper.

"Master Restylaut said it was a necessary paperwork for the budget in the dorm, and I checked it out. Hey, Ignaerts?

"Yes, I checked to see if I could really get a budget with this paperwork"

No problem, Lestiraut replied. That one was going to contract over Aerenfest, so I guess all I said was, to get a budget. In contrast, Wilfried said he signed worried about his opponent if he would really get a budget on botanical paper.

"At one point in the year, Aerenfest was the only one who used it, and even though it was seen with the eyes of using an unusual piece of paper in the library, I was happy to know if it was now also commonly used by Dunkelferger..."

Ignaerts said so and was slightly discouraged by his lack of vigilance, which is near the side of Vilfleet. Looking at him, Wilfried looks worried.

"Dunkelferger's civilian apprenticeship seemed to have only Aerenfest paper, but maybe he doesn't know it can't be used for an official contract"

We let our own civilian have both pieces of paper. Because I don't know when I'll need parchment. But in Dunkelferger, they only had vegetable paper.

"... adoptive father, you must have cautioned during the sales contract at the Lords' Conference that cheap Aerenfest paper cannot be used as a formal contract to avoid crushing with the parchment association, right?

"Oh, of course. It's important to their parchment association. But if they came up with it as a contract, there's a good chance Dunkelferger doesn't understand it."

I snort at the words of my adoptive father. Maybe we need to pay attention again to all the territories we have a deal with.

"Send Dunkelferger an Ordnants during lunch."

That's just the wrong paper use, it wouldn't be a good idea for an allegation to sound in the venue of a territorial rivalry.

"I'm the one who signed it. Send it from me."

Wilfried commands Ignaerts to send Ordnants.

"I don't have that much thought either. Trust me a little bit."

"I'm sorry, Brother Wilfried"

The Ordnants came back a while later. "Dear Mr. Wilfried. Thank you for taking the time to let me know. From now on, I'll be careful," said Hannelore, "What do you mean you used everything to paint?" I heard the First Lady.

When the discussion of the various differences in common sense and differences in word and deed in the contract came to a paragraph, I asked what the joint study looked like. The Lords did their best just to deal with one coming Guest after another and were very unable to see how the collaborative research was going.

Marianne was the one who gave me the best answer with her eyes shining. It seems Gundorf has come to see what research presentations Aerenfest will make in a joint study with Drevanhel. And he was surprised that there were exhibits that were different from what he was studying.

"You were surprised to explain that Rosemayne gave us a proposal that we made. The original idea was the same, but I didn't think I'd create magic equipment that didn't use magic so far."

The direction of making magic equipment that plays music is the same because if you look at the aphone paper score with a demonic stone, it makes a sound, but in Drevanhell and Aerenfest, the ability was the exact opposite direction.

"And while hiding it from the teacher's eyes, Aerenfest grew a little too."

He said it was natural for researchers to keep the research content and important information hidden without drooling, and he was delighted that it was great to be able to do so and succeed in amazing himself.

She told me that she would love to incorporate magic equipment that the book cleans up in designated places, as well as in her own lab. Ignaz and the others will also report back on the reaction of the customer who was here to see it.

"Dr. Gundorf was asking us a lot of questions about the graph."

I laugh bitterly remembering how Gundorf was while Filine said so. The graph I used in this joint study does not use something that is so difficult. It's at the elementary level, so I think you can tell by looking at it. But there never seemed to be a visualization of the numbers, and the research was just the same, and Gundorf was devouring the graph, he said.

"Filine was working on it, and I was explaining the graph."

Apparently Roderich was entrusted with Gündorf's opponent to explain the graph the whole time. Then the teachers came to the next, and they felt very uncomfortable lecturing the teachers and other civil servants.

"They're going to use the graph for next year's Drevanhell research. He said he would love to work with Rosemayne."

"I'm glad Roderich explained it properly."

There are still a lot of things in the graph, so let's twitch this one out. While Filine and Lauderich were explaining their collaborative research, Muriella was apparently looking around at other realms of research.

"Dunkelferger's research presentation says there will be a ceremonial demonstration at the end of Ditter. Clarissa told me that most of the territory's adults didn't know about Ditter's ritual, so they actually had to dance and show it to everyone."

After the students' ditters are finished, the adult knights of Dunkelferger actually perform rituals, perform ditters competing for speed, and show them until the last devotion of magic. Apparently Aub Dunkelferger is very uptight.

"That's going to look good."

The dancing of Dunkelferger's students was great too. The dance of the adult knights would be brilliant too.

"Yes, yes. We had a little chat with Mr. Lulu Lady of Yose Brenner. She wanted to thank Rosemayne for her blessing, but she was sorry because she was busy socializing."

The tenth place yorse brenner is not an exaggeration when considered in the territory moving in the first half, to say the bottom line. He said he couldn't get into a place where all the royalty and upper territories were swarmed.

"He said he enjoyed the word of love by letting Schmir's magic equipment play to the end in Arlensbach, partly because of what I taught him. When you heard the last publicity, you said you wanted the book and you couldn't help it."

Maybe Luluradi sounded the book's publicity in Arlensbach? Remember what Ferdinand told me, "Dear Lulu Lady, Very Fine," I'll whine, too.

"But I can't buy a book because Yose Brenner hasn't traded. Master Lululadi was so sorry, why don't you write a story and make your own book? and I recommended it."

I'll try, and Lulu Lady seems to have gotten me on board. Now there may be more new books, and I smiled and praised Muriella.

"Well done, Muriella"

Increasing the number of writers is important. Lulu Lady seems to be a senior civilian, so he could be a writer like your mother. Feeling the birth of a new writer, I finished my lunch.
