Ascendance of a Bookworm

The small halls are not arranged in a seating order so that each of them can converse as they please, and the tables and chairs set up to circle the room are to be used as they please. It was too sudden a feast, and besides, because I had no idea how many people would be treated as guests by Dunkelferger, and because the number of participants would not be confirmed, I was also unable to determine the order of seats.

My uncle came to where I was sitting, and my uncle's side went to fetch the dish. His adoptive father took his seat to hear the report from his uncle, and his father, who was finally able to show his face to the feast, stood behind his adoptive father. Another, Ferdinand, who looked normal, sat in the empty seat.

"Will Ilkner be far away?

My uncle's martial arts tradition began with such words. Your uncle is right, Ilkner is far away at the southwest end of Aerenfest. When you march with a horseman, it becomes a day of work. Because you have to keep up with the speed of the lower knights, and it's a real fall if you can't seem to get to the battlefield with too much magic to get to speed.

"But if it takes that long to get around, there's also a good chance that Irkner will be crushed. Arlensbach is a great territory. Coupled with the nobility of old Berkestok, the power of war is not even comparable"

Although the Irkner population is increasing slightly, it is still a land with few nobles and civilians and lots of mountains and forests. Though there are many lands to protect, there are few guardians. If you are attacked from a large territory, you will be subdued in no time.

"Therefore, in a transfer formation that can only be used for Aub, we moved to the summer hall in Ilkner"

My uncle said it would be a loss if I didn't use it because it is something that I have. The metastatic formation for transferring humans will need a lot of magic to use, and I can't move it unless it's Aub. It's not very cheap to use. We were able to send the knights in the transfer formation to Irkner this time because Aerenfest was not in the raid yet, and there was little room for recovery medication, recovery time, etc. to restore magic.

"We arrived in Ilkner, and as soon as we started fighting, we knew this was a raid to bring in the Knights"

"Why not?

"Because the number of knights was less than assumed and it was not a move intended to drop Geebe's Hall"

A difficult number of knights were sent in to deal with them in the number of knights in Ilkner, and they were attacked in such a way that they could see that there was no need to crush Ilkner until the Knights of Reinforcements arrived from Aerenfest while avoiding the lax attack. Besides, the magic of the land is being targeted and the enemy is operating extensively. He's never been a strong enemy to my uncle, but he was a pretty troublesome opponent.

"But he was going to call the Knights, so he was going to stick around for two or three days. The enemy was quite surprised at us when we showed up in the transfer."

My uncle laughs at me like I'm good at it. Even if Aub gets a request from Geebe, he's not usually ready to leave right away. Get ready, move... it should take a few days. However, the readiness for the raid and the use of the transfer brigade quickly led to the arrival of reinforcements in Irkner.

"Quite simply, we've done quite a bit of work to move the metastasis team."

My adoptive father said that dissatisfied, but my uncle keeps talking with an unfamiliar face.

"Information came in that Gerlach was also attacked on the way to battle. It's like saying you're destiny, but there's so many enemies, I was wondering if we could get some help. I thought I had to go, but I had to finish the battle of Ilkner as soon as possible to get to Gerlach without worrying."

He scolded the knights and, under Brigitte's guidance, ran around the land of Ilkner with horsemen, tearing them apart and throwing them, and then starting to do a great job of throwing.

"Why did your father think you had to go to Gerlach?

When the father in the face of the Knight Commander asks, his uncle also takes a serious look from the face of his grandfather, who brags to his granddaughter.

"Gerlach smelled more dangerous. I thought we had to go a little faster."

"Dangerous smell, is it?

"Uhm. There were indications that there were some strong enemies that I thought would struggle considerably"

"Signs......"

Somehow, my uncle feels very wild. Instinctively moving, or sharp sense of smell? Graozam should be the first to work out measures.

"Dear uncle, was there any injury to Brigitte? He was my escort knight, so I'm curious to see how it goes. In this battle Brigitte sent us some very useful information for Aerenfest that the enemy is coming by boat..."

"Brigitte is close to Rosemaine, even if she's in Irkner," his uncle murmured with what a complicated face when he talked about the Ordnants Darmuel received.

"Though it's good information to send to the Knights, complaining that they don't have a receiver, the thought circuit they try to send through the side of Rosemaine is mainly one near the one they want to let handle"

"... I'm so glad you think so even far away"

When I rejoice, my uncle nods, "Rosemaine has a good minister".

"Dear uncle, how was Brigitte?

"Mm... Your arms as a knight were a little dull. Female knights can't help but stay away from training in marriage and childbirth, but I think they're a little spared."

I wanted to hear about recent developments, not my ability as a knight, but I also think it is a very uncle's answer.

"Even though my arms were a little blunt, I would have done enough work as a knight to protect Irkner's land. I was struggling that the mountain forests that Rosemaine would need to make the workshops and paper would have to be protected at all costs. As Geebe's sister, I think he was a firm protector of the land and the people."

That's how my uncle went into Ilkner with Brigitte to capture the old Berkeshtock geebes who were taking the magic of the land.

"I was heartily surprised when Ordnants flew in that Rosemayne and Ferdinand led the Dunkelferger knights on their way to Gerlach. Rosemayne had cut off her bravery, but she didn't think she'd really come back to rescue Ferdinand in such a short time.... Well done, Rosemaine"

"Thank you, Uncle."

My uncle, who told me to give up on going to the rescue or something, admitted and praised me, which made my chest burn and warm.

"Rosemaine, I think they also protected a variety of things well. If you wanted me to hold out until I arrived in Gerlach, a report came in that Gerlach was cleaned up just before I left Irkner. I thought the Ordnants were broken, and I accidentally slapped them several times."

... If your uncle did that, Ordnants would break the other way around!

"The knights of Dunkelferger worked very hard at the Battle of Gerlach."

"It's my friend," I introduce as I show Hannelore, who seems to be having fun talking to the female nobles.

"But it would be Rosemaine who has led the knights of Dunkelferger?

"No. It was Master Ferdinand who incited the knights of Dunkelferger to lead us to Gerlach, saying that a real ditter would never end just by taking away the foundations of Arlensbach. When Ferdinand and the others left, I slept in the castle of Arlensbach."

He was poisoned and led the knights of Dunkelferger with little rest. "Master Ferdinand is amazing," he said, looking at Ferdinand and sniffing.

"If Gerlach was cleaned up, he refused when he asked Aub to move the transfer formation to try to get back to Aerenfest. Invite the guests of Dunkelferger to the feast and come back on their own as they will use the transfer team to return Rosemayne and Ferdinand," he said.

"The priority is Dunkelferger's guests. Besides, Rosemayne is calling me for a reason to use the transfer team. Can you give me permission?"

The battle has just ended and the healing pills are much less. The knights are exhausted because of widespread manoeuvres. Civilians and sidekicks are very busy preparing for the feast. In the meantime, he couldn't use the transfer formation for his uncle.

... I didn't call you anything else.

My uncle insisted that I should leave the other knights behind and return at full speed. From such an instinctive appeal, they led to the phrase "I'm here to help" at the same time as it appeared.

Too many instinctive moves, reliable or a little scary, I knew exactly why Graozam would do everything in his power to combat Grandpa. I'm afraid to be hostile.

"So, how was this one?

My uncle turned his gaze to my adoptive father. Just listen to everyone's martial arts tradition today, and my adoptive father, who doesn't try to talk much about himself, opens his mouth like he can't help it.

"Information from Dermuel's Ordnants, precisely Brigitte, delivered to the Knights, was the beginning. Was that when the three bells..."

Information came in that the enemy was likely to arrive at the West Gate, and the knights began to move. Ordnants are flown in various places, each following a determined placement. I don't know when the enemy will appear or when the battle will begin. Apparently my adoptive father was told to go right between the foundations because they can't take away the foundations.

"I was waiting among the foundations. I have to cage, but to be honest, I have nothing to do. Ordnants come and go through the holes in the walls for Ordnants."

They have a circular warp hole dedicated to Ordnants in the office room and on the foundation so they can get in touch with Aub, who is between the foundations. He said there was nothing his adoptive father could do, except for the white Ordnants coming up with a peeky face from there and making a report.

"Because of this, I decided to build more traps between the foundations that I considered Rosemaine"

My adoptive father, who was so free, said that while the raid on the West Gate started, he flew a little bit and the Ordnants to the side to get the trap tools ready and brought it in himself to build more traps.

"Can Aub work on his own?

"I'm the only one who can get in, so I have no choice."

He started creating traps to kill time, putting bird mounds on the stairs, and setting up nets and lavatories, as I suggested. By the way, they say a trap was created in a wooden van because no metal vanity is usually used here.

... I'm not talking about a place that hurts when you hit a tree vanity, am I? What if Master Georgine's fatal wound was a tree shank?

Though I think it was partly because of my poor explanation, I didn't think I would use a wooden toilet, not metal.

"Even while we were building more traps, the Ordnants were coming and going. Ilkner began to make his way to victory by Bonifatius' activation, but more enemies appeared in Gerlach and a request for rescue flew in"

I ordered the neighboring Geebe to turn the Geebe Knights one by one, and I checked with my uncle to see if I could travel, but I don't get a very colorful reply. The neighboring Geebes say they may be attacked next, but they can't send the Knights to Gerlach. That would be the case in Geebe's shoes. Geebe disqualifies me from letting him head to the rescue room to protect his land.

The knights who defend the aristocratic city are not capable of delivering much even though the enemy raid is imminent. Not to mention that Aub, who handles the transfer formation, is caged between the foundations. Unlike when you were in Ilkner, you can't send knights right away.

"More and more war conditions arrived in Ordonanz from Geebe Gerlach, unable to remain caged on the ground. Ferdinand contacted me when I tried to send a knight on the transfer team."

He said the news was that I, who took away the foundations of Aerensbach, was bringing Dunkelferger's will near the boundary gate between Aerenfest and Aerensbach to accommodate the nobles and knights of my own territory who were doing unsolicited things at Georgine's behest.

"I was seriously surprised by that one. I've never felt more of a god's dispensation."

"My adoptive father is loved by Grucklitate."

He ordered the clerk to "contact Ferdinand so that he could make his way to Gerlach immediately". Ferdinand, who is in the territory of Arlensbach, or I do not receive the Ordnants. We need you to send a letter to the border gate.

And they flew the Ordnants to Gerlach "endure until then because Rosemayne and Ferdinand will lead the Dunkelferger knights as reinforcements".

"There was also an enemy raid at the West Gate during such an Oldnants exchange, and the battle began near the North Gate, making the Temple a battlefield. Ordonanz from Florence, who said someone was coming using a hidden passage, also came.... Everyone's fighting, but I'm just waiting between the foundations"

While he waited desperately to contain his desire to jump out, he received news from his adoptive mother that he had captured Georgine.

"While I did nothing but myself, I got into battle"

I've never been over it even if it wasn't a little funny. To get to the White Tower, his adoptive father stepped out of between the foundations and sent information that he had captured Georgine everywhere.

But on the way to the white tower, he said, "Another, Master Georgine, has appeared. They seem to have transferred me because I came down from the ceiling. There may be others. Don't come out between the foundations until the real Master Georgine is confirmed," said Ordonanz, the voice containing his adoptive mother's impatience.

"That's what Florencia told me, and I hurried back. I thought the unwanted way to trap multiple times was really Georgine. Returning to Aub's private room in the castle, he entered between the foundations. Then what a sudden attack by massive amounts of water"

"Huh?"

"The moment I crossed the curtain of that transition, there was a ton of water swirling between the foundations, and I jumped in and gobbled..."

Between the foundations was the real Georgine, and the battle had already been set up. Apparently, the adoptive father felt bloodthirsty that without his adoptive mother, Ordonanz, it would have been a development that would have deprived him of his foundation.

"In seconds the swirling water disappeared and the body that was floating in the water fell. Shortly afterwards, the washroom I set myself up came down."

"Huh? Is it a bathroom?

"The trap we set also rose with water and the scones and the bathroom came down. I dodged it with a single hair, but that was a pretty dangerous trap."

If you do a vaschen that fills the whole room, you're not the only one who floats. I experienced Vashen in the early days of my life. Things float all over the room. Then what the sorcerer perceives as dirt is washed clean.

"Because of this, the bird mochi I painted on the stairs was washed beautifully, and all the tricks and traps I set floated in the water and moved from where I installed them. I could see only my hands sticking out of the other entrance all the time as the wooden vane bounced at my feet making noises with Koonkoon. Relaxed."

The hand, which can only float forward from the wrist, is held by a stamp. Apparently, my adoptive father realized once again how horrible it was to Georgine, who hadn't even seen it but could definitely attack it.

"If your wrist looks like it's floating in the universe, it's natural to think you're scared."

My adoptive father immediately set up a stamp. That's where Georgine walks in gently. She was dressed as a gray witch, but behaved like a queen.

"Georgine looked at me and said he couldn't believe it."

"Is it not natural for Aub to be between the foundations because there is a positive movement going on here and there? Did something surprise you?

Ferdinand's words made my adoptive father look a little bitter.

"Aub is naturally among the foundations, which is why Georgine released the poison of instant death," he said.

"... Huh?

It's an instant death poison that flows out into the wind and becomes less effective, but it should exert terrible power in a narrow place like between the foundations. After unlocking and throwing in poisonous magic equipment, I wash the room so that I can get in. That way, he thought he could do whatever he wanted, if he slowly dyed the foundation without any other interference, if he took away his magic and crumbled the foundation.

"If Florence hadn't called me out between the foundations, I'd already be dead"

"My adoptive father, you truly have the protection of the Gruck Retreat."

"Rather, Georgine had no patronage of the gods"

How was Georgine's mood if he planned so closely with so many traps, but if he was just lucky enough to avoid them?

"So how did you capture Georgine?

"I was setting up a stamp, so I guess I decided to attack right away"

Because of the distance, the adoptive father said he turned Starp into a bow and connected the arrows of magic, releasing them one after the other.

"After I could play one of Georgine's amulets, I was prevented by Gettylt. I was packing my distance as I shot an arrow and they threw something like a metal needle and I could play one of my amulets. But you couldn't wear a silver cloth to get in between the foundations, or the magic attack worked, so capturing it wasn't that hard in itself."

In Georgine, a woman who focuses on socializing with a male adoptive father who is somehow working out her body, there will be a huge difference in basic health, arm strength, and accustom to combat. Of course, the adoptive father is overwhelmingly more advantageous at his age. Magic amount and magic efficiency are also increased by magic compression and reacquisition of protection, so there is no element to lose if confronted directly.

"... but people can hate someone that much"

My adoptive father doesn't talk about what he said. But it was a pretty mind-blowing word, if you look at my face, you can tell.

"There are still aristocrats who gave their names, or whoever made a subordination contract took over what they wanted and destroyed Aerenfest," he said.

"... a nobleman who gave his name is dangerous."

"Ah. I don't know if there's anyone leaking in that solemn. I don't know what a nobleman who gave his name is ordered to do. Do you storm out on the battlefield or scatter that poison somewhere? We must stop the damage before it spreads.... I stabbed a stop with this hand"

That's what my adoptive father says and stares into his own hands. I put my sister, who separated herself from her blood, in her own hands. With his eyes that make him feel its weight, the adoptive father takes out the cotti and the demon stone.

My throat hummed.
