Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Wisnaia, a port town in the southwest of the Kingdom of Verdogal.

It is a relatively large port town among the coastline strongholds on the Duke's territory.

There is also the Temple of the Moon, where merchants come and go with the hinterland. The streets are well maintained and the traffic is good, and ships come from the western seas, as well as ships bound for Termwilds.

It would mean mooring the Sirius to increase the number of transferable bases, as it would also be an important base if it were.

"The Lords of Wisnaia seem to have a good impression on His Holiness the Ambassador of the Other World."

said the Duke.

"Really?

"Yes. Thank you. You seem to be reversing your evil impression of the demon."

"Oh...... I mean, even about the demon killer?

"Yeah. You should know that."

... Wisnaia is where foreign ships come from. It's convenient as a place to spread false information, so I guess it's also giving notice to lords.

Knowing that I am a demon killer is a good impression of the past. Well, if you ask the person in charge for details, you'll find out. Let's do exactly what I have to do first.

"Okay. The story goes after them. Where would you prefer to dock?

"Right. Harbor, isn't that a good idea? The temple is nearby, and I was wondering if it would be just right to leave towards the sea."

"Okay. Then… we will replace Alpha and the Ship."

I will leave the escorts of the dignitaries on the deck side to take turns with Alpha and the ship once they return to the bridge. When I got to Alpha in the cockpit, Alpha barked small and gave me the place.

"Thank you, Alpha"

Thankfully, Alpha nodded quietly. Let Cadkeus head to the deck so he can be replaced, then control the Sirius and slowly approach Wisnaia.

Although the airship is a new vehicle, King Melvin has issued an official circular stating that it will be treated in a manner equivalent to that of a dragon cage, a vehicle that goes the same airway.

I mean, it's the way I've been, but I'll stop by the surveillance tower on the outer wall on the land side to show it's not a suspicious ship, and have the city signal with a flag inside.

That's no different, but at least in Verdogal and Sylvatria it became a formal rule. We were allowed to make similar moves in the Bahárzad, so if airships were to be built in the South in the future, it would probably be a similar procedure.

"This is the Duke. Welcome home."

"Uhm. Good luck with your assignment"

The Duke standing on the deck hangs words of labor on the soldiers of the watchtower.

"It is not only me and his family who are on board, but His Highness Stephania, His Highness Adriana of the Kingdom of Silvatoria, and His Highness Elkham of the Kingdom of the Bahárzad. Grand Duke Debonis and Ambassador of the other world, Sir Theodore. And their fiancées. Don't be rude."

"Ha. We have heard it due to an earlier decree"

Although the soldier was frightened and cut because of the gathering of dignitaries among the dignitaries, when he responded with a salute, he moves agile and sends a signal inside the city with a flag.

The message is that - in addition to the arrival of the Duke - there are guests of the highest class on board. The lord needs to welcome you.

When the flag was waved towards us from a large mansion on high ground throughout the city and the signal was returned, the soldier turned to the deck and said:

"Go ahead, please come through"

Take that word and proceed the Sirius all over the city. Turn once to the sea side and drop altitude to anchor it in the harbor.

Carefully landing water on the surface of the sea to avoid large waves over time. Keep sailing and let them dock at the harbor to unload the anchor.

"Well...... I guess this is the place."

Again, the white streets are beautiful even from the port side.

I think the Lord's welcome will come soon, but before that, I will try to go with Claudia to the Temple of the Moon.

When I got back early on my errands at the Temple of the Moon, Lord Wisnaia's carriage was picking me up at the dock.

"Welcome aboard, Grand Duke Debonis. I have deposited this port town with the Duke, my name is Raoul-Wisnaia"

A nobleman who came out of the carriage was about to greet the Grand Duke with respect. Count Raoul-Wisnaia. He's a nobleman under the Duke of Driscoll family umbrella... but that's pretty big.

The aristocratic garments look cramped with a muscular physique that can be seen even from above the garments. You can see I'm working out at first sight......

"Hmm. The Duke tells me you're doing well."

"Thank you. I still have a lot to learn from my youngsters, and I'm still trying to make the most of it."

The territory of the great aristocracy is relatively, if not quite, large compared to other aristocracies.

When it comes to Verdogal, the nature of the labyrinth makes the central sphere of governance and the royalty strong, but when it comes to other countries, there are cases where the territory of the great nobility is so powerful that it may be called a different country from the central one that it lines up with the royal family.

Well, the same goes for the Grand Duke of Devonis and the Duke of Driscoll if you're talking about the size of the territory. So in order to facilitate governance, an umbrella lord given a title by the Duke's family is placed at an important base. So do the lords of the inland mines in the example.

It is the Duke's view that lords along the coast will also have less of a special and worse impression of Grand Duke Devonis, as there is no direct collision of interests with the Grand Duke.

It's also limited to the work of the Dream Demon Grazheim. It was largely well known the other day that the Royal Family and the Grand Duke, the Duke's intentions were consistent, and no lord would come here to cause friction with the Grand Duke.

I have Cadkeus as my escort just in case...... I hear Count Wisnaia is a quality rigid and honest personality. Rarely happens.

"Oh, Sir Theodore. Are you back?"

As we approach with everyone as we stand, the Duke who notices us comes to us from the dock.

"Yes, I've been working on something."

When I say that and nod, the Count looks back and circles his eyes.

"Ooh..."

And he approached me and knelt respectfully as he came before me.

"I'll be the first to see you, the ambassador of another world. I've heard rumors. My name is Raoul-Wisnaia."

"Nice to meet you, Count Wisnaia. I'm Theodor-Gartner.... uh. Why don't you put your face up and get up?

The Count was trying to fold his big body into small pieces, but he took my word for it and raised his face. And stand up slowly.

Deeply carved tough face. The shadow gets deeper because of the backlight, and I can't read some of the expressions. It is a giant body that looks up. When I got up, this one went round and in the shade. I could see how my eyebrows were troubled by the letter (c).

I somehow know I knelt down not to be intimidating... In the meantime, when I asked him to shake his hand as he was, he only shook it with both hands. Is it oddly bought because you still know I'm a demon killer?

"No, be disrespectful. I lost my mentor during the assault of the King of Dead Sleeps."

The Count said quietly that it was conveyed that I had a slightly strange look on my face.

Oh...... Are we talking about the Dead Sleeping King? If that happens, it will mean that my mother took revenge on my benefactor. But given the Count's position, that shouldn't be all.

"... Again, about the current situation?

"Sincerely...... We know some things about Term Wills' demon killer because of his position. I truly admire the ambassadorial palace, which stood on the arrow with the devil for two generations."

That being said, the Count bows his head in regret.

"A mentor, huh? I knew I had something to think about demons..."

"He's the one who helped my wife when she was younger where all the demons attacked her. For me and my wife, I am a benefactor of life and a teacher of temporary martial arts."

In the Duke's words the Count nods with his eyes closed. Then, when he opened his eyes, he said with a smile that he would give a grace and then regain his mind.

"You're out of line. Welcome to Wisnaia. Welcome aboard."
