Din no Monshou (WN)

Episode XI: In the King's Capital

Wang Du is completely covered in a huge castle and defends himself from external enemies.

The more I want to say if I'm going to get this far, the bigger it is.

But the reason for that was wanting to be simple.

Hundreds of years ago, there was a war involving the entire continent, he said.

Famous as its outpost, The War of Kings.

The kingdom fought the northern empire, a total bloody battle of strength.

It seems that this castle protected the King's capital even then.

If we had such thick walls, it would be difficult for demons and humans to break through.

Convinced.

Through the central city and into a street with many nobles.

Then there stood the mansion where guests would be welcomed.

Looks like this is our quarters.

"I didn't expect to build a house like this... I guess I did something pretty bad"

"What do you say, Regis? The king is a famous man of purity and white."

"No, 'cause I've never seen a garden with a fountain. What millionaire?"

"The dueling nobles stay here."

"Ho."

From what I hear, this mansion seems to be the most bottom-line property in the Wang capital.

I've been through the kitchen before if I step on the floor.

Totally, it's a story that makes me want to punch the wall.

Even the Din warehouse seems like a superior property to me.

I can't believe I'm showing you this.

What kind of life does a king's nobleman live?

Apprentice the lives of the common people, the lives of the common people.

But I'm also a nobleman in my classification.

It's falling apart.

I try to get through the gate.

When I looked behind me, it caught my eye that Shady Berga was getting her clothes ready.

"That, isn't Dad going in?

"Oh, when you put your stuff down, you're going to say hello to the royal castle.

It's the royal family that takes the duel. "

"I see, when you go bow your head to the king,"

I wonder if it's okay if I don't take the confectionery folder or something.

As I was thinking uselessly, Shadyberga shook her neck to the side.

"There's no way you can meet a king in person like me.

I'm going to show my face to the minister. "

"I'm a fallen nobleman. I don't have a choice."

"Yes, yes. How about that, Regis? You wanna come with me?

"... mmm"

A glimpse of the royal castle.

The Great Castle climbs through several gates from the city and quite a few climbs up the mountain.

Don't go too far on foot.

That said, I don't want to take any more carriages today.

Triple regulation gets caught up in labor standards law.

Don't worry about it here, will you crush it in your spare time?

"No, I'm fine. I'll see you in the city."

"Right. Central Street is good, but stay away from the northern aristocracy."

"Hmm? Why not?"

"There are many unscrupulous nobles.

We're lucky to be staying in the southern aristocracy. "

I hear there are two aristocratic towns in this king's capital.

One is this southern aristocratic neighborhood where we are now.

A nobleman sets up a house from the bottom down to about the middle inside.

It is characterised by intense replacements and the proximity of civilian districts.

So you think it's a district that's not very exclusive?

Hit and change, and it's the aristocratic neighborhood of the north that's bad tachi.

District where bigoted upstream aristocracy is consolidated.

By the way, they also have a Holgos family villa there.

If you didn't think to see Durf, would you have gone north?

I don't even want to see you.

Do you think the aristocratic neighborhoods of the north are such a heterogeneous space that felonies can be imposed just because ordinary people enter?

You think some nobles hold the right to tax?

They say those people abuse ordinary people day and night, out of the sight of the king.

I see, it's hard to say the rule of the country.

"Okay. I'm not going that far."

"Okay, I see. I wonder what Walkins will do?

"Hmm. Shall I escort Master Regis?"

I don't know what to do.

I put a gentle no on her.

"You don't have to. You haven't slept here lately, Walkins.

I've been keeping an eye on the outside in the carriage. You need to rest now. "

"That's sweet, Master Regis. Then sweeten your words -"

Walkins brightened his expression and went inside the mansion.

And skip it.

I often feel subtle when an adult does it.

In Walkins' case, it was sama.

There's something cheerful about it.

And then I knew it was cute.

Gap difference between luxurious silver hair shaking sarah and elegant servant clothing.

It tickles my taste very much.

It's impossible not to look at it again.

"Well, Regis, I'm coming."

"Oh, be careful on the road."

"I don't have to be told."

Bit, and Shadyberga thumbs up.

From the notoriety of Dürf, we cannot deny the possibility that he will be raided.

But there are plenty of people from here to the Royal Castle, unsuitable for assassination.

If they discover the disgrace in the King's Capital, they're the ones in trouble.

You won't have to worry.

Get out of the mansion and take a trip to Central Street.

Walkins and Shadyberga are always in a lot of trouble.

Sometimes I want you to get some rest.

I'll do some shopping in the meantime.

I came to Wangdu because of this.

There must be magic books that you can't buy in the region.

Do you want to look for a magic store and buy some?

I'm hanging around Central Street thinking so, but I don't really have a magic store.

All I have are martial arts stores and grocery stores.

I have no choice.

I gave up looking for it myself and asked the guy with the store number at the grocery store.

"Excuse me. Can you tell me where the magic store is?

"I don't mind... are you a nobleman?

"Yes, once."

The man looked at my outfit for a while and nodded one.

"Then are you okay? The magic store is located in a neighborhood unlimited to the north.

There's a lot of weirdness over there, so be careful. "

"... north. Thanks for the info.

This is all I need, so I'm going to get you one knife. "

"Maido"

Shop small knives made for demon hunting applications.

I already have one, but I don't have any problems with spares.

I've earned quite a bit of money on behalf of others.

And yet - this knife.

You look like the knife Shadyberga has for a long time.

You can't tell the difference.

It's cheap, but it looks like a first-class product.

My walkway that looks smooth and full of sails.

But if there's a problem, it's the location of the store.

District close to the north.

shopping district near it.

There should probably be, like, common folk discrimination there.

That said, my status is noble, so I'm not too frightened.

It might make you feel uncomfortable.

"... well no, let's go and think about it"

Shadyberga's face won't take that long either.

I'm not even here to see you.

Leave the work in the realm alone and you will be in the king's capital.

I need to finish my concerns early and go home as soon as possible.

I was worried about Sefina's condition as I walked north.

◆ ◆ ◆

The closer we get to the north, the more heterogeneous the atmosphere becomes.

An expansive path for the arrogant nobles.

The common people, by contrast, are passing through the edge of the road.

In the provinces, the distance between the inhabitants and the nobles may be close...

It seems the opposite is true in Wang Du.

The ruling class until brilliant.

A complete aristocrat is licking the inhabitants.

The aristocratic shops are heavily advertised.

You're not like the common people because of your behavior.

Ordinary shops secretly open their shops so as not to touch the aristocratic scales.

I don't like being entangled in nobility either, so I walk along the edge of the road greetings from the common people.

A little later, the aristocratic neighborhood of the north, something like that.

There was a magic store there for me.

And it was definitely the latter when it came to the nobles or the common stores.

Split the drapes and go inside.

"Hey, there you are"

When I went inside, a girl called out to me who could or could not reach the age of twenty.

Red hair, a tough face.

Long hair stretched up to her waist glowed as she looked calm and beautiful.

It is characterised by a lacquered black cloak that is sucked in.

"I guess you're noble to look at your clothes.

Is this getting lucky for my shop? "

Gatspaws small in front of me.

Something's familiar with him.

But it doesn't feel strange and depressing.

Friendly in one way or another.

It felt like it was ironic but not poisonous.

I try to block words and ask questions.

"How far do you keep the Book of Thundermagic?

How far, that's a level story.

There was something called "Master Edition" in the magic book I used to have.

But the last five years ago, a massive magic book revision law was announced in the kingdom.

Along with that, the standards have changed slightly.

Magic is produced one after another by researchers and magicians.

So there will be regular simultaneous revisions of the Magic Book.

By the way, the standards were renewed in the last law,

Until now, magic has come to be seen as a level one step below.

By current standards, the old Master Edition is now the Advanced Edition.

The old "Intermediate Edition" falls into the current "Lower Edition".

So the best fire magic I've ever mastered, Astral Fire.

Now it's in Advanced Edition.

The amount of magic used is enormous, but the difficulty of chanting and acquiring it is not that high?

By the way, because 'Mega Telepath' is quite difficult to acquire,

They're still in The Master's Edition.

The magic book I use when I'm training with Walkins is pre-revision.

That's why I wanted to get my current magic book.

The girl answers my question confidently.

"Of course, I even put it in the master's edition.

But lately, a lot of people don't even use it, but they buy it as an ornamental product.

If you want it, I wonder if you can show me enough strength for the magic of the master's edition.

Then I can sell it to you. "

Huh, and a girl smiling mean.

I knew you didn't seem to have a good personality.

I'll never use polite language again.

Still, is there a guy who's going to buy it for viewing?

Probably noble.

With that kind of raw, they won't be able to sell it at times like this.

I want you to weigh yourself a little.

"Can you do that? If you can't,

You're coming after you're a little older. Ha ha. "

I'm laughing softly.

Son of a bitch...... lick me.

What's wrong with me? Discuss your appearance.

Seven years old. Small stature. A child's face.

I see, is it more unnatural to not be licked with this on the contrary?

Honestly, you'd better show me your magic arm here.

Otherwise, you're not going to be dealing with me forever.

Gather magic in your head and think of the girl in front of you.

(... Magic Expansion)

The image of connecting a circuit there.

Finally, a chant was performed to instill magic.

(... From us, emerge the circuit of the devil - "Mega Telepath" heh!

Feels like a current ran on the top of your head.

Apparently, we're connected.

I stared silently at the girl's face and spoke with my heart's voice.

(You're a master editor. Is this it?

Fly directly into the other person's head.

Then her face turned surprisingly monochromatic.

(Been... Is this a telepath? No, you're not a mega telepath!?

(Hit it. I can hear you.)

I eat magic after using it for a long time, so I immediately disconnect it.

The girl was grumpy for a little while.

But when I spoke in my actual voice, I got me back.

And scratch your cheeks like you're in trouble.

"Shit. I didn't mean to sell it, so I plugged up some lame challenges."

"What, were you even on an appointment?

"No, no. It's convenient this way."

The girl took a thick book out of the shelf.

Place the still new, unsealed book on the table.

"Yes, it was good with thunder"

"Oh."

The book was quite expensive.

Master editions don't have a lot of publications, so they're nearly three times higher than advanced editions.

Spit out all the gold you had and indicate your willingness to buy.

When I give you the money, the girl takes it forward.

That's when I saw something behind my back that bothered me.

"It..."

"Oh, I used to be a mercenary.

That's what I got when I fought the Empire on the border. "

There was a pale helmet on the shelf.

Engraved in eye-catching blue with black swords crossing.

Definitely imperial equipment.

That belongs to the captain's class, too.

"Did you take it?"

"No way. I was just scared behind the guys at the Magic Society.

Those guys weren't good people to deal with at work.

The Empire is still my trauma. "

If you hear about the battle against the Empire, don't come out with 'King's Blood Battle' about 50 years old.

But the skirmishes have been going on ever since.

Mercenaries as border guards, I guess, are being driven out.

Because the difference in force from the Empire will not be filled unless we do so.

The girl strokes her bright blue helmet, remembering when she got it.

"I wonder if that was about ten years ago.

When I first went to war as a mercenary. "

"Hmm, my first job is fighting the Empire? That's pretty hard."

"You think so. I blued when I walked into the battlefield and found out about it.

Killing each other with the Empire was famous for having the highest mercenary mortality rate.

I couldn't sleep at night thinking I'd never be home again. "

You remembered the fear then, the girl is a little trembling.

Katakata and. With the bees.

Looks like there's a tremor coming to my teeth, too.

I guess this girl isn't quite mature yet either.

If I told you ten years ago from there, you would still have been young at the time.

Around the use of mercenaries under the age of ten, a situation of war might have persecuted them.

The past of the kingdom is so dark.

"But fighting on the front line is a magician selected from the country and seconded by the Magic Society.

Our job was to support them. "

"Do you even do support or therapeutic acts?

"Yeah. Anyway, shoot the magic, shoot it, shoot it all.

Because you can be weak. I wonder if anyone who specializes in swords would have assaulted him from behind. "

"Oh, do you stand in the way of enemy chanting"

"Yes, so the danger should have been relatively low"

It should have been.

I guess that means it wasn't what I expected.

Her blue face proved that was obvious.

"The Empire guys, they came here first to crush us from mercenaries.

If you're hunting, it's from a weak guy, isn't it?

He was shooting fire magic from the bushes of the street, and I was chased around by a hand-crafted magician. "

Sure, that would be traumatic.

If you become the elite of the empire, you will have top-notch magical arms.

I can't wait if a mercenary gets chased around by those people.

"I tried my best to get away with it, but, well, they'll catch up to me. It's a kid's leg.

I'm ready to be killed. I gave up and meditated my eyes.

I guess that was then. The magician on my side helped me... "

According to the story, the flow goes like this:

She ran away and ran away and ran away.

But I'm caught up.

An enemy magician chanted the magic of a lethal class.

At that moment, a spear of ice seemed to have flown from behind.

It drove the enemy magician out of combat with one blow.

Ice magic is difficult to handle without aligning both water and soil attributes.

Some uniforms he wore, and he soon found out the person was a magician.

He was an ordinary man who joined the war at the behest of the Magic Society, and you think he was a woman, by the way?

"She was amazing.

The mercenary regiment to which I belonged was no surprise that the whole thing was destroyed.

But that guy got rid of it all, and he never died.

It was a reliable back. I felt strangely secure. "

You remembered ten years ago, your eyes are distant.

The tremor had stopped already.

"Is that the one the enemy magician was wearing?"

"Yes. Apparently it was an ace at the time.

She beat me, including my men. "

You had a lot of dependable people.

It is also possible that this kingdom is fighting inside the

Thanks to the people on the border and the magicians of the Magic Society for their hard work.

"I'd like to see you again and say thank you.

Because of that guy, I wanted to get a career in magic. "

"Didn't you hear his name?

You could even look in the tunnel if you asked for a name.

To my words, the woman slowly shook her head to the side.

"No, I asked. And you answered me.

But I was confused then, so I remember. "

You asked me during the battle.

"I am, though." What are you asking me now? "

Huh, giggling girl.

But my eyes are cutting after that magician.

Apparently, the desire to see you is true.

She holds her head and tries to remember it for sure.

"... I wonder what it was. Was it Walk Ins?

No, it could have been War Keynes. "

She twists her head.

And I squeal a name that I think I know of.

So I had nothing to think about - unconsciously speaking the name of a servant close to me.

"Isn't that Walkins?
