Golden Experience

Episode 338: How's It Going, You Can't Help Riding

"You Gentiles all the time... After all, they were dangerous."

A magnificent rock castle boasted by the kingdom of Pairee.

Ambrosius held his head in the king's office.

It is good that the shape has invaded the pair.

No, not really, but at least not surprised, because that's what they're declaring.

The shape's decision to defend the Krall ruins over Zorlen during the invasion to the south was a bitter one.

Apart from Ambrosius, I don't think I care about the people.

But we can't be robbed of the ruins just in case.

I don't even know how much information I have left about the ruins in the Shape Royal Family, but if it was passed on in detail until I was in the exact location, the conditions for unsealing them, and the means for launching the ruins, it would be a problem.

Being robbed of the ruins means that the Shape Kingdom has that power. That alone must be avoided.

Considering these circumstances, we decided to protect the ruins, not the city.

When they heard that the Knights of the Shapes were headed for the city of Zorlen, Ambrosius also covered his eyes and offered silent prayer.

But when I received the next report, I opened my eyes and doubted my ears.

The report says the Knights of Portley are defending Zorlen.

Even the monsters of the giants who attacked the King of Wealth and various parts of the Shape appeared. The resistance broke the shape and changed the target to the north.

To be honest, the Titan faction, which also appeared in the Shape's statement, has no idea, but it is not bad if it helps.

The problem is Portley.

As an ambrosius, the Portley-kingdom is the most hostile of all nations currently hostile.

This would not have happened if that country hadn't suddenly turned the knight over to the pair in the first place. By now Augusto would have solved the mystery of the ruins and brought prosperity to the pair.

If the Portley-kingdom is protecting the city of Pairé, it is only natural to assume that there is something unexpected about it.

The suggestion was made that the Portley Knights, who had left the Shape Knights, occupied Zorlen as it was and issued a declaration that they had occupied the city.

There is shame enough to enter the country of others and take possession of the city and turn it into my own.

Moreover, the declaration was delivered directly from the Knights of Portleigh by the Zorlen pigeon. I also have the King Ernesto's signature carefully.

In other words, the Knights of Portleigh had already carried the paperwork and marched all the way to Pairé when they left their country.

Nevertheless, Ambrosius chose not to protect the city.

It is certain that Portley defended the city instead of Pairé, and if that portry took it away, it would seem shameful to complain about it.

I thought about taking the Knights from Krall Ruins just for pose or for recapture, but it's not necessarily because of the gap that Portley is not targeting. Then I don't know why I cut off Zorlen.

For the time being, I decided to end the problem by putting out a declaration in the country that abused Portry's generosity and stirring up national feelings against Portry.

Once you have the power of the ruins, you can take care of all the nuances with it.

But the problem didn't end there.

The unparalleled impact of this incident on the public, namely the occupation of the cities of other countries, was beyond Ambrosius' imagination.

What mattered was not the city of Zorlen, nor was it attacked.

It was the very fact that the Knights of the Portley-kingdom ruled the city of the Pairé kingdom.

Everyone knew it was possible.

By the presence of Gentiles who instantly share information with mysterious mechanisms, this fact was diffused throughout the continent.

In the northern part of the Kingdom of Pare there is a village named Route.

This village has a legacy of powerful dragons right next to it, and it was supposed to provide broken subsidies every year as a rural village in the province, just in case.

Recently, the dragon woke up, attacked the village, and suffered damage until it was half-destructed, but Ambrosius didn't do anything about it.

In other words, as a kingdom, the result was a huge subsidy. It is troublesome to suddenly ask for more.

If you've been confronting dragons for a long time, you should have known the threat, and if the subsidy wasn't enough, you should have said so. Honestly, it's a different story, but at least I wouldn't have left it there.

Even if they say they neglected it and destroyed it on their own, all they can say is that they don't know.

Nevertheless, it was not a village far from the King's Capital, and there were ruins even nearer where the second prince was dispatched. We can't just leave him alone.

It's a series of disturbances on arrowheads like that.

I had no choice but to shelf the treatment of Route Village.

The village of Route suddenly declared its independence.

A little too long has passed to think that the Dragon Raid has become an opportunity. Then it would be decided after Portley occupied Zorlen.

If so, this independence commotion involves Gentiles.

There are reports that the Knights of Shapes who attacked Zorlen were accompanied by a fragmented group of people of all races, ages and genders. It is clear that some Gentiles are helping the shape.

Also the other day, I heard that two Gentiles had caused some trouble here in King's City.

Fortunately, the matter was somehow handled by the hands of the Episcopal Church, so it is not important, but in the worst case, there may have been some damage to this royal castle.

Ambrosius was right to risk increasing Gentiles across the continent.

"─ Does the fact that I am being pushed so far mean that it is not good for the Gentiles to know that it is dangerous? And if he had a series of incidents..."

Ambrosius does not believe in conspiracy theory, but if things continue to be so inconvenient for him, he will want to think so.

It's as if I've been trapped in a giant spider web where I can't see anything.

The harder it gets, the worse it gets.

"Father!

The door was opened violently with a loud voice.

Remember the feeling of pre-vision.

"... Sylvester, I don't know what's going on right now ─ ─"

─ ─ Excuse me.

Sylvester was followed by a monk of the Holy Church one day.

I don't know if I'm a bishop, but I'm extremely insane to enter a room with a royal family without permission.

"What are you going to do! As much as you are..."

But Ambrosius, who tried to stare at the bishop, hardened.

The atmosphere is obviously different from when we met before.

The light with its eyes is full of confidence, and there is tension in the skin. It doesn't seem like he's rejuvenated or changed his face, but he also looks like someone else. But if you look closely, you are definitely the bishop of that time.

"No, I apologize for checking in before you gave me permission. You mustn't get distracted. Hahaha"

The Bishop smiles as he strokes his jaw, which can even see the cubicle shining.

"... that's enough. What are you doing today?"

Ambrosius stopped pursuing him, feeling anxious that he might be familiar with the bishop's state.

"No. Not enough to say I need something, etc.

Just so you know. Your Majesty is not in a good mood. Something's bothering you. "

Rude entry to even the most demanding places, and this rhetoric.

I can only think of Ambrosius as a fool.

Looking at it as if it was different from when I met you before, perhaps this old man is taking some bad medicine.

"You......! Give me a break! Boy, time! You want to be disrespectful!

Silvestre, the stranger, intimidated, but Ambrosius didn't want to stop it.

Because Ambrosius would have screamed if Sylvester hadn't screamed.

But no matter where the royal threat comes from, the bishop is the wind.

Even if you are not a family member, if you receive such angry emotions from a superior species, it is not strange for a mere beast to atrophy and become rigid.

That means you have much more physical power than Sylvestre, you're really crazy about your brain with medicine, or...

"Well, Your Highness. If you've been so angry since you were young, you'll be in trouble when you take the throne in the future. It's mainly around me.

Instead, I came here today to relieve Your Majesty's troubles.

I think His Majesty is also coming to you with a pinch in his ear, but the Knights of the Basilica of our Episcopal Church have terminated the recent invasion of this king's capital by a Gentile crook.

I hope you can tell the guards guarding this castle's gates that the curve had quite an arm, but that means that we now have enough power to turn back that many opponents without difficulty.

─ ─ I wonder. Your Majesty.

Your Majesty will entrust the pacification of the shapeless and the unknown countrymen of the North to this Episcopal Church. "
