“——Run, run, run !! Hey, there !! What are you, its weakness! That battlefield will kill you first! As you know, the Duke is a quarrel in the city. I don't know how to get rid of monsters or something like that! The main battlefield of the duke is war between nations! If your feet suddenly fall like muddy, go back to your hometown and look for a bouncer job.

But in the vast grassland, there were many men running.

There were dozens of statues of earth that seemed to be twice as large as adults. Obviously, the statue is a golem created by a wizard of earth, but there is no sign of movement yet.

And they are unusually powerful.

Men who seem to be hundreds are running towards the golem. Most of them are well-built men, but their ages are different and their weapons are different

"You've passed the second exam, but it's a long way to go! But you're a strong man trying to make a connection with the Duke! “Hey, stand up!

It was a good-looking knight who fueled many men.

The red armor indicated that he was a knight of the Dukes.

And a lot of ordinary people gathered here. Their purpose was to survive the selection and become a hired knight of the Duke.

In the southern continent, there are four countries called superpowers.

One of them is the Knights State (Dalis), located southwest of the continent.

A knight country that has a long history since its foundation and values strict tradition and history.

There are aristocrats with strong powers in various places around the central royal capital, but the most famous aristocrat is probably the Duke.

"The magic flies off the battlefield! Burning golems and brainwashed monsters may be thrown in! Hora golems will start moving! Boldly fight!"

There is a duke (Denning) in the knight nation (Dalis).

This is probably because foreign countries have come to call it so much, because the duke has made a huge presence in war with other countries. The knight nation gained huge territory because of the presence of the Duke.

The weight of accumulated history strengthens the duke.

And there is no end to dreaming of becoming a member of such a duke.

It is synonymous with being one of the knights of the duke, gaining a high position in the army. It was a matter of course that anyone who wanted to get a job in the army, trying to marry the Duke, was a tough road but very popular.

Although they are ordinary people, they aim to be apprentices to knights of the Dukes.

What awaits them are many golems, earth golems created by the duke's wizards.

"Don't give up is just a golem! A nucleus is hidden somewhere in your body and breaking it will break it in an instant!"

"If you pass, even ordinary people like us can succeed!-And you can be with him!"

An unusual sight like a real battle.

There are also many galleries that look at them in a distant manner. The gallery looked at the fighting men in a friendly atmosphere. Behind their eyes is a large-scale event held annually in the Duke of Denning.

In the Duchy, it was a very popular event for a large crowd to visit.

"Well, those who are there ... maybe Sansa?"

Meanwhile

One of the spectators pointed to a woman approaching the tent where the Duchess knights gathered.

"Hello, this is Sanza! If you contact us, we will come out! Come on, take a break!"

Middle-aged knights gathered in the tent are seen and their body is hardened.

For the knights of the duke who run the event, and for those of the aristocracy, she suddenly appears far above the clouds.

The woman's name is Sansa Denning.

Hidden what she was a very high-ranking woman of direct lineage in the Duke of Denning, a nobleman of the knight state.

Although they are often referred to as the duke lineages, many of them are known in the knight nation Darris, but Sanza Denning's reputation is outstanding.

"No, I'm fine. I'm on vacation today. Treat me as if it weren't. And will there be other family members at this event too? Because everyone likes this time."

The commoners who were fighting the golem for the appearance of Sanza are also angry.

There was no one who knew her as a duke knight.

A woman who uses the magic of the wind to kill enemies faster than anyone else on the battlefield.

Sansa Denning, one of the closest humans to the next duke.

"Sansa. On a precious holiday, we were just taking a rest in the mansion ..."

"I came because I wanted to come. You don't have to worry at all."

As the middle-aged knight says, Sanza is busy.

Sansa Denning, crowned general in the military of the knight nation.

She is counted as one of the candidates for the duke, and shows her face both inside and outside the country. Sanza, in particular, is a beautiful woman. Her presence was desired everywhere, as the army tightened just by showing her face.

Finally, she was given a break.

For just a few days, Sanza returned to the duke to remember her start. Speaking of this, I remembered that it was a time of choice for dwellers in the Duchess who were full of motivation and wanted to get a job in the military.

"But it's weird. That number ... too many passers than usual. Did you ever shake off in previous tests?"

It was exactly what Sanza had to say.

Place of choice imposed by the duke. Once a year it is an extremely high number of trials of whether one passes or not. Moreover, despite the fact that it is a magical golem battle, the number of ordinary people who are testing is clearly higher than usual.

"I sifted both the primary and secondary tests ... but there were too many applicants than usual."

"Reason?"

"It's that ..."

When Sanza asks for a reason, the middle-aged knight is hard to say anywhere.

However, Sanza soon understood the answer.

This is because a voice was raised from one commoner to Sanza.

"Sansa! When will he return to the Duchy?"

A simulated battle with a golem in the grassland.

In a test aimed solely at the duke's family, a wounded boy raises his eyes to Sanza with his eyes shining.

“——I heard it by rumors! That guy is today! That he might come back from Krusch Magic Academy and come to see us! But that's not all! We heard it!”

Fighting the golem, the men with damaged and sunk faces regain their vitality with the voice of a boy. Sanza finally understood her mind in a change that would not accumulate if she saw such a miserable figure. I understand.

"The prodigy of the wind-talk about that Slow will soon return to the duke!"

In response to the words, men screamed on the meadow.

The amount of heat is enough to deter Sanza Denning, who always keeps his expression.

The glorious days of the wind, the prodigy--Slow Denning's name was still recognizable to Sansa Denning, one of the next Duke's lead candidates, for how long she continued to be in the country. .

“——Denning! Is there a confluence point that your Majesty has told you ahead! You should turn back once again! In such a steep forest, there is a way that you can smuggle into Sarkista, and it's almost impossible for me. I can't believe it! "

The magnificent nature extends outside Krush Magic Academy.

Me and Shuya were just walking in the woods to the destination.

I left the school early in the morning.

The first time I thought that the air was clear and fresh. He is tired of the task of quickly pushing the branch with his own arm.

In the first place, the forest outside Krush Magic Academy is maintained only around the school. After a few minutes of walking, you stray into the untouched forest. But His Majesty said earlier that he was preparing to head for the Circus.

Believing in those words, we continue to walk in the woods.

"And denning! I haven't allowed you to come with me yet! I don't want to borrow you anymore! Eldred says I need you, but this is given by His Majesty My ordeal was done! I dived into the labyrinth alone and defeated the slime! "

"..."

No, I die.

Do you know how strong the labyrinth monsters we are trying to dive? And yesterday, when I went to Shuya's room, the great spirit of fire would have been telling me the strength of the topic Slime.

An unusual collector who has no eye for treasure.

A stupid slime who sold his quarrel to a number of great nations, exhausting his usurpation.

And ... borrowing by Shuya is a more talk now.

She says she doesn't mean I can't borrow it, but Shuya says she's not upset.

Is it lawful or serious?

Huh. When this happens, do you lend to this guy and pile it up so you don't return it?

"... Nuh, Denning. I'm going to check it out ... I'm not at a loss, right?"

I continued to ignore Shuya's voice.

Are you in doubt?

I wanted to say that I could see if I saw that. Around the same place a while ago ... oh yes, I'm lost!

Generally, the place reported by Her Majesty is too abstract! Leave the Magic Academy and walk east for 2 hours and you will know just that! Give me a map of your destination!

However, when I kept walking silently without dealing with Shuya, it seemed that I stopped making noise all the time.

Instead, they hear noisy breathing as if they are tired due to lack of strength.

Or rather, it's Shuya's luggage. What a stupid bag he carries, what's in it? The speed at which Shuya walks is extremely slow because she is carrying that bag. It would be hard to walk in such a forest if you had just enough luggage. I told you many times, throwing it away. But he didn't shake his head.

I check regularly that Shuya is following me. That was going on too many times, so I asked what was in the bag.

Then food and weapons.

I still know the food ... a weapon?

You don't need a weapon for Shuya. He's the crystal on which the Great Fire Spirit sleeps, that's all I need.

And food?

If you look at that, you'll see that what you have prepared is meaningless.

Deep in the forest designated by Her Majesty the Queen.

I walked through the woods for a couple of hours, and after breaking through the branches, I finally found it.

"Good news, Shuya"

What appeared in front of us was a decaying road.

On such a highway where you do not know where it continues.

"I don't want to walk from here ..."

One wagon packed with lots of luggage.

And a giant horse with intelligent eyes was waiting for us.
