047 The Tower of Things
The border city of Avis is a relatively large city among the kingdoms (Harland).
It is located west of the Wang capital (Ansel) and borders with neighboring Roar.
Roar and the kingdom (Harland) are not in a hostile relationship, but they are hardly (mostly) free to come and go.
The Kingdom (Harland) only allowed the entry of the Royals into this border city (Avis).
Conversely, this border city (Avis) is the only place the Royals can get in on Kingdom (Harland) territory. The Roars cannot go outside, from the city of the border (Avis).
When asked, apparently Roar is taking the same measures (let him). The only territory in Roar that the Harlanders can enter is the border city of Farica, he said.
Celestia, known as the War Maiden of Silver (Valkyrie), is a native of the West and was appointed to the Western Knights a few years ago to head the Knights. Of course, it was accompanied by strength, but a beautiful, young woman was the leader of the Knights, and people said that the advertising tower in the Kingdom (Harland) was also the same.
That Celestia will leave the city of the border (Avis) this time in the position of the Knights Commander and return as a one-time adventurer.
Her intricate thoughts were immeasurable, but she never looked ashamed, sad, or bothered, at least against me.
Border City (Avis) is a city that originally developed as a permanent base for the Western Knights on border guard.
There are large walls throughout the city, and there are cities within the walls.
The soldiers guarding the gates of the walls seemed surprised by Celestia's appearance on the boulders.
She's just an adventurer now, but every soldier bows his head and gives thanks to Celestia.
When we followed Celestia's instructions to secure the accommodation, we took a break and asked Celestia to show us around the city.
Sometimes the entire city is originally a permanent base of the Knights, and there is no such thing as a gorgeous decoration, but a strong image of the quality rigidity (Shitsuzuke) is conveyed.
Every building was made of stone, and I was under the impression that it seemed strong against attacks from the outside, fires, etc.
The number of people going to and from the city is high, but most of them are the Knights and their families. Otherwise, there are many merchants.
When I saw it, there were many jewellery shops in the city, and Sylvia's eyes glistened every time she passed in front of the store.
Celestia says that there are many gems mined in Loire, and that the gems are coming into Avis through Farica, the city on the Loire side of the border.
For this reason, a large number of merchants from and to Farica and Avis live in the two border cities.
"There's something I want to show you."
Celestia mentioned that as she guided the city.
Following her words, it was the tower that stood in the heart of the city.
Celestia called out to the soldiers guarding the entrance and invited us.
I heard it later, but if you're not actually a Knights person, they can't get you into this tower.
Celestia has become an adventurer, but in a way the soldiers have distracted me.
Me, Grace and Sylvia are led up the stairs of the tower by Celestia.
It was good to the height equivalent of a few floors, but Sylvia raised her roots on a staircase that was too long for boulders.
"Hey Ceres, how far does this go!?
"That's the other half.
What, would be a good opportunity to eliminate overweight?
"I'm not as relaxed as I need something like that."
Somehow I look at Sylvia's chest, which looks heavy, and then I let my gaze swim.
But Sylvia noticed an astute (meticulous) gaze.
"I'm telling you, this isn't fat."
"Ha ha -"
I delude myself with laughter.
When I managed to climb the stairs to the top, Sylvia and I lost all strength and breathed rough.
I was climbing in conversation until I was on my way, but at the end of the day I was completely silent.
"This way."
When Celestia opens the top door, the wind comes through at once.
When I walked out the door with my eyes closed to the wind pressure, there was a beautiful scene that I couldn't even tell from the present.
"This is-"
It's not just me, Grace and Sylvia are raising their admiration for the landscape that is spreading today.
- This is a special place for me.
Celestia said with a smile.
The wind shakes her blonde hair and it also looks like she has no heart or herself emitting light.
"From here, you can see the streets of the border city (Avis).
My original role was as a tower to watch out for (and only) enemies outside the walls, but I like what people see from this tower. "
When they say that and look around, they do see the lives (crumbs) of various people, such as people walking in the city, shopping in shops, etc.
"I'm here - to protect this landscape.
I changed my position from before, but that thought remains the same.
When I came to this city, I really wanted to see it, and I wanted everyone to see it. "
Grace and Sylvia smile when they hear that.
"- Ceres, thank you for telling me where you're important."
"Sure.
I'm tired, but I feel better. "
Looking at the three of them, I broke my expression, too.
But my voice, which I saw underneath my feet on a mundane clap, watered the atmosphere.
"- What?
Isn't that a demon (monster) in the city!?
"A monster!?
I point my finger at the three people who rushed.
There was definitely a two lizard (lizard) man walking in the city ahead.
I don't have a weapon and we both wear clothes, but it looks like a giant lizard (lizard) walking completely on two legs (looks like it).
Celestia, who confirmed her appearance, said to me as she stroked her chest down.
"Kay, that's not a demon (monster).
Lizard Man. The Beast Man.
"- The Beast Man?
"Oh.
Perhaps it would be better to say "Royals."
I was surprised to hear that.
That's the Royal from the neighboring country!?
Grace, who saw my expression, tells me from the side.
"Kay, didn't you know for a second?
Roar is the land of the beasts.
I open my eyes even more to that statement.
This is exactly the one called "Eye to Eye Scale”.
The next day we returned the horse to the stables (Cusha) and left the border city (Avis).
From here on out, you are not allowed to cross on horseback.
The river that leaves the city is a border, and there is a stone bridge over it.
Sometimes in the morning, there are never many crowds, but they are still very different from some beasts coming from the Roar side.
I saw Lizard Man for the first time yesterday - but I couldn't stop staring at a different beast man.
A wolf (wolf) with two legs - a werewolf (wearwolf) or a tiger with two legs as well - a tiger man (weartiger) can't be looked at at at at all.
It was just a rare behavior, but don't you feel it's a good idea to be seen as a giro by a boulder, because a few beastmen said, "What can I do for you?" I was questioned.
When we arrived in Farica, the border city on the Loar side, there was a gateway to enter the city.
When the four of us gave out the identity cards of the adventurers - especially Celestia's identity cards - we were allowed to enter the country after emphasizing to the wolf (wolf) head soldier that only the border city (Farica) had the scope to step in.
The border city (Farica), like Avis, is a city with many stone buildings.
The walls are not as high as Avis, and even if you look at the entire city, the building is not high. Either that or I have the impression that I use the land much more spaciously than Avis.
Celestia says that some beasts are pretty heavyweight, and that they don't really like going upstairs in themselves. Certainly tiger men (clothing tigers), etc. who slipped near the border, were a lot bigger than me.
When I turn my attention to people in the city, I realize that more normal people are walking than I thought.
Impressively, a third of them are normal people.
The other two thirds are lizards (lizards), tigers, leopards (leopards), wolves, dogs, cats, foxes (foxes), mice (rats) and ravens (rabbits) - not to say zoos, but there are exactly different kinds of beastmen.
I was walking normally, forgiving the fact that there were other people in the city, but the four of us felt like we were gathering some gaze.
To be precise, the three of us, not the four of us, are gathering our sights.
In short, it would be because the three of them all have an easy appearance to gather their gaze on.
When the four of us secured the accommodation first, we decided to discuss the next course of action over lunch.
"Only in this city (Farica) has permission to act.
In the meantime, we're going to have to talk about a man named Clovis. "
When I say so, Celestia has an opinion on it.
"Kay, that's certainly all I have, but I have someone I'd like to see on this occasion if I could,"
Seeing Celestia's face, I prompted her to make the following remarks.
"A Royal with whom I am close, by the name of Weiss.
- I think I've talked about this before, but I was originally cut off from chasing demons because I got advice from Weiss. "
I do remember hearing that story.
Celestia said an acquaintance of Roar, who attended the Founding Festival of the Kingdom (Harland), warned her that “there are signs of demons in the Kingdom (Harland)”.
"Who is Roar and in what position?
In response to Grace's question, Celestia answers in a way that reflects on the past.
The kingdom (Harland) and Roar should not have been very close.
Still, I'm invited to the National Founding Festival, so I guess Weiss is in quite a position.
"When I started residing in the border city (Avis), I was the commander of this city (Farica).
Now he's back in the center and in a promoted position.
It's a silly way of saying it, but I think it's in a position like a general. "
"Then you mean you won't be able to see me until you get to the capital of Roar -"
Celestia continued her conversation so that she could speak to me.
"The man who took over the command of this city (Farica) is Weiss' man.
I'm going to ask Weiss if he can take it from there. "
"Where is the commander of this city (Farica)?
Celestia answers the question by turning to Sylvia.
"Sure, there must have been a command building in the center of the city.
When you're done eating, let's go. "
After lunch, we followed Celestia's lead to the command building.
Even when it comes to the Command Office building, it is not a beautiful building, but to the extent that it is about one turn larger than the buildings around it.
The gate of the government building was closed, but at the gate stood a gatekeeping dog-faced beast man.
Celestia approached the gate of the government building and communicated her name and intentions to the dog-faced beast man.
"Commander, where would you like to meet me?
I want you to tell me that Celestia from Avis is here. "
Then the dog-faced beast man asked Celestia, looking troublesome.
"- Do you have a promise in advance?
"No, I don't have any promises, but if you could pass on Celestia's name, you'd see her."
The dog man has a very unpleasant face.
It is interesting to observe that even the dog's face is undergoing proper facial changes.
It seems that the dog-faced beast man, who showed a frequent and troublesome attitude, decided to respond to Celestia's request first, albeit troublesome.
After telling Celestia to wait a while, she went inside the government building.
- Did you wait about five minutes?
An earlier dog-faced beast man came back and opened the gate to the government building.
"They're going to see me. Go straight ahead."
The four of us lead Celestia into the government building.
There's a fox-faced beast man inside the government building, pointing us to the room we should be in.
The fox (fox) face beast man was a woman or her chest looked a little swollen.
Celestia knocks on the indicated door and walks into the room.
Me and Grace and Sylvia entered the room, too, following Celestia.
There was a large desk in the center of the room, with a leopard (leopard) head beast man sitting across it.
The leopard (leopard) head beast man doesn't seem that big, but he wears white armor that looks superior to his body.
I'm not sure what armor is on the head of the leopard, but it looks strangely good.
"Thank you for your sudden visit."
In response to Celestia's voice hanging, the leopard (leopard) head beast man rose out of his chair.
I didn't feel it when I was sitting in the chair, but only to the Beast Man, he's taller than I thought.
"No.
I didn't think so, but surely you are the Holy Knight (Daim) Celestia.
It doesn't seem like you were alone, but what can I do for you?
The leopard-headed beast instructs us to sit on the couch in the room and sit across from it.
"Lenz, which, before that, I'll introduce you to these three.
This is my buddy Kay, Grace and Sylvia. "
The leopard (leopard) -headed beast man, known as Lenz, leaned his neck in surprise (much) shivers.
"Companions -?"
"Yep.
I am not in the knight position (or so) for a reason right now.
I came here as an adventurer. "
- There's something wrong with you.
That's what the leopard man (Lentz) says, he looks at me and Grace and Sylvia again.
It would be that they finally got into the sight of the leopard man (Lentz) for saying he was one of them, not one of them.
Celestia began to get into the subject, laying her breath down for a moment, with her eyes down.
"Actually, Lenz, how did you get in here today and ask for a favor?"
"Well, what is it about? I wish it was something I could do."
Without changing his expression much, the leopard man (Lentz) is trying to listen to Celestia's wishes.
Celestia saw it and cut it out into a stand-alone straight forward.
"Weiss, where would you like me to meet you?"
The moment I heard that wish, I saw a change in the look on the face of the leopard man (Lentz), who had not changed until then, and I could see that his eyes narrowed softly.
