Dream Life

Lesson one: Departure

Tria history December 15, 2018.

My father, Masaias, decided to bow to the Viscount, and we set out for the Imperial capital, Plymouth. This time with the exception of my grandfather, Govan, the Lockhart family members will all be accompanied, including their twins Theo and Serra, age 11, and their sister Sophia, age 8.

This is the nominal aim of spreading the sight and ear of my brothers, but it is in fact Luna's camouflage. It stands out that Luna is accompanied by one person, but if she is accompanied as an entourage or alumni of Theo's, she thought it would not be unnatural.

I had no choice but to accompany Luna to protect her. If I hadn't received a direct call from the Imperial Chancellor, the Duke of Phyllobisher, I would have stayed in this village. But there was no option to refuse an order from a substantial ruler of the super-Power Kaelm Empire, in the name of a request.

It's not like there's any way to leave Luna in this village, but she thought she could handle a lot of different situations with us, and she let her go without stopping.

This time the young Sim Marron is to take command of the escort and Dan is to assist. Five new attendants to these two and five young vigilantes will be escorted.

The average age is a little over twenty and very young. This is the main reason why a new generation should gain experience.

In addition to the escort, Angie and Elena will accompany them as samurai, bringing the Lockhart family alone to nearly thirty. It doesn't mean that there are so many families of aristocrats going to the Imperial Capital, but it looks like a disproportionate number to a country lord who is only a knight.

In addition to the Lockhart family, the angel Viscount Ignacious Radford and other ministers of the Marquis of Seawell will be accompanied.

The Seawell family also had more than twenty, including escorts, in a large area of about fifty people in total.

Walt and Byron have suggested that we should have a little more escorts, but in addition to us Zaksextet, we have fathers and brothers, so we are not wary. Plus my sister-in-law Rosalee and my younger brother Theo have the same arms as regular soldiers, and I can fight more than I thought because I have experience in action.

On the contrary, so much so that he feared reducing the power of the village's defense.

That said, my grandfather is in command, Walt and all the other key squires are there, and many of the vigilantes have leveled up in the fight against the undead earlier, which would hardly be a problem if it were about a flock of two or three hundred oaks that passed near the village last year.

Of course, there is a lack of power against a large army like the Undead Legion led by Vlad Varonos, but even the enemies of the gods should not be able to match all that power with a good one.

Besides, I'm not leaving Luna in the village, so it's unlikely that the enemies of the gods will be after the village, and I think this one is safer.

The carriage is accompanied by three carriages, in addition to the box-shaped ones in which the mothers ride. One is loaded with costumes, etc., but the other two are loaded with five three-year casks of Scotch.

The three-year Scotch is for gifts to the Blacksmith Guild of the Empire City and the city you went to. I really wanted to take some more, but there was too much Scotch consumption from the Spring Dwarf Festival, and this was the limit.

It also contains three stainless steel tanks that fill the Zack collection. Scotch of the decade, brandy of the eight years, Calvato of the five years (...) s - apple distillery liquor taking the name of distiller Calvert. It's not “Calvados” - they each come in.

To give the Emperor what he packed in a bottle of crystal glass when he arrived in Empire City.

But long-term aged liquor is not everything with it. The main one is in my storage magic inventory.

I dare put it into storage magic to prevent it from being demanded by the nobles of the Imperial capital. Too much is demanded from so many places that they don't seem to have more than they need, but the blacksmiths want to give them a drink, and they hide it in storage magic.

The carriage my mothers ride, but since last year it has been slightly modified to improve ride comfort and safety.

First, plate springs were mounted to reduce severe vibration and improve ride comfort. However, the development of the shock absorber was not finished and the ride was not as comfortable as I thought.

I tried to make an oil damper as a shock absorber, but this was harder than I thought.

I know what caused this.

It's a matter of lack of proper oil and precision.

Oil in this world is basically only edible or abrasive oil used in polishing. In the village of Rasmore, the predominance of filtered pig and cattle fat resulted in severe degradation, and we searched for an alternative but did not find what we wanted. For once, we are using magic to modify the quality, but we have not been able to make an oil of satisfactory performance.

Furthermore, the clearance of the piston section could not be successfully created and was not completed in the end.

For once, I tried to make an air damper like a syringe, but it was not installed because it didn't work for the loud sound.

It not only suspends, but also modifies the wheels.

Wooden wheels are mostly used in this world, but they are replaced with steel and bearings are used for bearings.

Tires with improved demonic leather were inserted. This tire is made of demonic leather reinforced by wooden attribute magic, similar to the interior of my grandfather's armor made with the blacksmiths of Welburn. As well as strengthening the surface as the armor, more gel parts inside allow for more absorption of the impact. It's just a waste of time to use dragon skins, so I use gray bear skins, which are grade 5 equivalent demons.

Though we have not been able to demonstrate enough about durability, hundreds of kilos should be fully usable without having to do anything. Of course, I can magically maintain it, so I don't have a problem with any further distances.

However, because the iron wheels stand out, wooden wheels are fitted on the outside as dummies.

It should be noted that although this tire is used for carriages, plate springs are not used. Because of my anxiety about strength.

In addition, ideas have been developed for the body of the vehicle.

Carriages in this world only have wooden windows, and it gets dark in the middle of winter and rainy weather when the cold is severe. There is no problem with using the magic props of the lights, but it is the stress of those on board that do not see the landscape outside, and it can also cause motion sickness.

At first, I tried to fit sheet glass, but on unpaved roads, there was a danger that the vibrations would break wide. For this reason, it was decided to apply the "wind plate” applied with a soundproof magic guide to the window.

Besides being transparent, the good thing about this wind plate is that it can be opened and closed freely.

Soundproofing magic guides only last about two hours, but since the area is small and it is not necessary to vacuum between them, it can be used continuously for more than ten hours without significant magic.

Thanks to this, you can now enjoy the outside landscape even in the middle of winter.

However, for the sake of prominence and parking, the wooden windows have not been removed.

Thanks to these modifications, the ride improved more than I thought. My mother praises me for being so much better, but I'm not happy with myself yet.

Ready to go. As my father exhaled his white breath, he said to my grandfather, "Okay, I'm going. I'll ask for the later," he said, riding the horse, "Ride!," he ordered.

Everyone, including the young vigilante, rides on a cloak with the Lockhart family crest.

The figure was neat enough to be elite.

Likewise, Viscount Radford's escort captain Osborne Towerdin said, "Ride!," he ordered, and the knights of the Marquis of Seawell rode simultaneously. This one also gathered the elite because of the Emperor's escort of the angels, showing the Lockhart family and their unscrupulous movements. However, combat power is very much the same as that of young vigilantes, with many around level twenty.

Thus will the nearly forty rider's escort consolidate the front and rear so as to escort the five carriages. With all this escort, bandits, as well as demons, would rarely attack.

The Lockhart family carriage carries my mother and my youngest sister Sophia, and Luna and Sharon. Because my mothers can't ride horses, but Sharon is to deal with Luna.

Not only Sharon, but Mel and I are going to take her place on the way. My mother cares about Luna, too, but because of the consideration that we would feel safer living together.

My father said, "Let's go!" When I signaled, the line began to move slowly.

Moving through the village, the villagers said, "Come on in!" or "Be careful! ♪ I'm going to call you ♪

It's not a word to hang on a line of nobility, but I think these kinds of distances are a good place in the village of Rasmore.

From the village of Rasmore to the imperial capital Plymouth is about a thousand kilometers.

Continue south on Ars Street to Ars. Then continue on Oriental Street to enter Imperial territory, continue along the Fannel River along the eastern realm of the Empire and enter the Central Street.

It's the itinerary of entering Langton Avenue from Esalington, a major traffic shock, and then stopping in the Marquis of Seawell territory before entering the Imperial capital Plymouth.

The weather conditions of departure in the middle of December, which is the middle of winter, and the fact that mountain roads will continue until we pass through the Kingdom of Kaum, foresee a month and a half on the outbound journey alone. The itinerary also includes the celebration of the New Year in Ars, which will essentially go on for less than forty days and twenty-five kilometres per day.

This is due to the fact that the streets within the Empire are maintained, the weather is stable this time of year, as well as the load of carriages can be increased at a relatively light speed. Once further into imperial territory, it is planned to proceed about thirty kilometres per day.

According to information from Viscount Radford, although the eastern realm of the Empire borders the Kingdom of Kaum and the mercenary country of Fortis, it also has good relations with the two countries and is relatively secure.

"There are no bandits selling fights to the Lockhart family. I don't know what the Dwarves would do if they attacked the Lockhart family carriage loaded with liquor barrels while gaining strength."

Viscount Radford added so with a laugh at the end.

In fact, there will be no bandits attacking the Lockhart family whose names have been sold so far. Of course, there may be bandits who want to make a name for themselves, but if you think about the Dwarves obsession, if it's a normal feeling, you step on two feet.

What is more, the nobles who maintain security in the eastern part of the country should be more concerned than necessary.

Basic information on the eastern realm, but here too there is the Governor's Office, just like in the north. But Governor-General's Office armies like the North do not exist. This is because, unlike in the north, there is no border conflict, but there is a great deal of Empire's desire not to let an independent military organization be created in the eastern region close to the Empire.

For this reason, the eastern realm feels like a nobleman with territory is a Knights of the ○ ○ Territory, with only a few dozen to many but hundreds of units of policing. The Knights of Aaldred, where the Governor's Office is located, are the largest, but still will not exceed a thousand greatly.

And its nobles, but unlike the north far from the imperial capital, they are sensitive to imperial intelligence. Naturally, we know that the Crown Prince and the Leopold Prince are in a fierce dispute, and this time it will be conveyed that the Rockhart family lord is a recommendation from both factions.

In the east, there are only nobles below the Count, except for the Borderline Uncle, and even more than in the north, they are not under the authority of the Borderline Uncle, they are completely independent lords. For this reason, I belong to any faction and naturally care about the intentions of the leaders of the faction to which I belong.

In other words, the nobles of the east should think that the Lockhart family needs to be safely sent to the Imperial capital, so that they don't get into trouble in their own territory if they make mistakes.

We left the village of Rasmore looking at the mountains of Aquila with snow makeup on the top.

Out on the street, my brother Theophilus and his twin sister Seraphine, riding for fun, pulled up a horse.

The two are leveling up in the undead, with a swordsman level of eighteen. This level is comparable to a Class VII mercenary of about twenty years of age. In other words, even though he runs out at only eleven, he will be the arm of a professional mercenary. By the way, my brother Rodrick is level sixteen when he joined the Knights at twelve, so he's going to be level above his brother.

My father and brother were surprised not only by this. However, when I say it in front of them, it grows, so I am behaving as normal, and neither one of us has noticed because of me or Mel.

"It's just the beginning of the year by the time you get to Ars. What will Brother Zach do in Ars?

My sister Serra spoke to me as Nico. She is a beautiful girl with beautiful blonde hair and clear pale eyes conceded by her mother. Now he wears boneless leather armor and hangs a skinny sword, but if he does, he's not ashamed to put it out anywhere as an aristocratic maid.

You look alarmed, but today it's as far as Bogwood, the border town of the Kingdom of Kaum, and there's nothing to worry about being attacked because it's within the Rockhart family's sphere of power. Dan, who was most entrusted to the deputy captain of the escort, is in the mood, so if anything, you'll notice immediately.

"Right. I'm not thinking about it, but it would definitely be a banquet with the Ulrich."

Answer that with a bitter smile. Serra is right. It is December 30th, when the scheduled arrival date at Ars falls on New Year's Eve in this world, and there will certainly be a big banquet waiting for us over the years.

"Are you going to the royal palace, too?" Theo asked. He's blonde as well as Serra, but he feels like a swordsman and a shorter short bob than Serra. Now they're wearing helmets, so they look just like each other because they're almost hidden.

"Mr. Kati will be able to entertain the Alliance's banquet, but this is an official visit. Maybe you'll go to the royal palace for a day."

Even though it will only pass, this time it will be an official visit as the Imperial Knight Lockhart family. He is likely to be treated as a representative of the imperial government, especially as he accompanies the emperor's envoy.

"The royal palace... I'm looking forward to it," Serra whines to herself with her eyes shining.

I guess I'm old enough to admire the royal palace. Perhaps he remembers something at Wellburn Castle in the Raswell Borderline Uncle family.

He entered the town of Bogwood, feeling the cold that cut him, but with a soothing atmosphere.
