Episode 110: The Guardian Knight Who Lost the Lord

A messenger came to me from Nortmarc, the empire of Germania.

I thought it was time to come. There's no way this cruel fantasy (real fantasy) is putting a brave man at ease.

But it was unexpected from Germania.

I thought the next problem was the regional aristocracy of the South.

I decided to invite him to talk during the royal sight of the castle.

Queen Silhouette sits next to me, but I sit on the throne too. The gold leaf is affixed and the decoration is splendid, but to be honest, it's not a very comfortable chair to sit in.

"It's been a while. Thank you for your help with that verse."

"Guardian knight, Herman Salzhorn? Not as long as it's been."

To be precise, should I now say the former guardian knight of the late Prince Fried?

He's a giant knight like a horn mower. 'Of the Iron Wall' Herman's fame will be evident, but I do hear that the imperial capital, Nortmarc, fell into the hands of the traitor.

I wonder if that would mean that his status now would be that of a knight in exile.

He's a powerful man who can cross decently with Louise with the Great Sword of Orihalcon, so if he's freelance, he just wants to scout.

"For the valiant of Silesier, this time with His Royal Highness the King, he prayed, and the joy will be with him."

"Hellman on the Iron Wall, let's skip the hard greeting. I want you to talk to me about it."

"If I do, I will be used by His Majesty the Emperor Conrad."

"Was His Majesty Conrad safe? I heard the Imperial Castle fell."

As I have said many times, the Germanian Empire has been torn apart. There has been a coup in the Empire.

Does the coming of a messenger from the old emperor mean that he has escaped safely somewhere?

Fried and I have already fought it all, but there is no resentment against His Majesty Conrad, his parent emperor.

I heard that Emperor Conrad was a hero and a fine famous man who even became a brave man, and I heard that he blabbered and his son was unscrupulous, so I felt sorry for him.

"No, Your Majesty is caught in the hands of a rebel and held prisoner in the back of the Imperial Castle. But before I did, Your Majesty asked me to give this to the valiant of Silesier."

Herman opens the big crate he carried on his back and offers it to me.

I see, the 'Orihalcon armor' that Fried was using?

"You seem to be repairing beautifully, but you don't have any armor."

"Only the part of the armor has been taken away by the rebels. It was impossible to take it back, so I'm sorry."

"No, that's fine. I'll take your favor. I mean, I wonder if there's anything you want me to do with this armor for a souvenir. For example, side with the Germanian Empire."

"No, that's not true! The repression of the traitors is exercised by us, under the command of the Germanian Empire. This is a sign of His Majesty's apology."

"I see, an apology..."

"Now, as far as I'm concerned, I'd like to ask His Majesty to rescue me by putting my hand on the valiant of Silesier and rubbing my forehead on the ground, because of His Majesty's immediate orders not to cause any further trouble."

Though old, Old Emperor Conrad seems like a noble man.

There is only one "Orihalcon Armor" that exists in the world, which can be a material for exchange conditions that seek some help.

At least, it's a tool that makes a lot of money if you sell it. I didn't know you'd drop that off for free.

While I am in a predicament where I am captured, I still prioritize my son's unending apology. I guess that's the kind of man he is.

If you know my personality, you're quite clever.

Receive your apology, I don't need your help. It even makes me feel like the old emperor is trying this metric. This makes me want to help, even if they tell me not to.

"Okay, Herman Salzhorn. Wait here for a while. I need to talk to you for a second."

"No, but I must return soon to save Your Majesty from the hands of the enemy!

"Well, let him send it to those who can use flying magic even if rescue is impossible, and it will be quicker. I'm not gonna do anything wrong, so just wait a while."

When I waited for Hellman, I went into discussions with the teacher during the refrain next door.

"... so as far as I'm concerned, I'd like to help the old emperor, what do you think of the teacher"

"Yeah, well, one thing I can say is, I can't get this army out"

Because intervening would be a war with the Germanian coup army, or not for that reason.

They say it's a first glance, because we can't just barely be alert to the local nobles of the South or defend ourselves against the Duchy of Transbania or the Duchy of Rankt.

"Well, what if I go and help you with my personal brother-in-law heart?"

"Right, is it around there?"

Oh, I thought the teacher would disagree with you not to do anything reckless.

Looking at me with an unexpected look on his face, the teacher smiled funny.

"I trust you. There is no one in the Old Empire who can defeat Lord Takel today. If you take Oracle and Kaala to escort them, it won't be rare. Just..."

"Just?"

"Stop by the Duchy of Rankt and keep your understanding with the Duke of Emehardt. It's a good opportunity, so it's good to meet again and keep the relationship strong. If you are serious about helping the old emperor, the Union of the Horses will be on the run."

Call me and I'll come. Or rather, Kaala, who sticks her neck in these meetings without having to call, came out of the shadows after all and pinned her mouth to the teacher's plot.

You, come on, I think you should give up your military character.

"Wait, I didn't mention the old man earlier who said 'of the iron wall' or anything, but it's not only the dying emperor, but also the eight-year-old granddaughter. The weak princess and the father-in-law will definitely help."

"Don't you predict what I'm doing."

Well, I can say it's a hit.

But why did Hellman keep his mouth shut about the Crown Princess? If I told you, did you think I wouldn't help you the other way around?

"What Kaara says isn't a lot off either. Sooner or later, the Crown Princess will remain an obstacle to our control of Germania."

"Yes, sir."

Kaara, who is also familiar with the Germanic situation, boasts about the size of her chest with her half-brained.

No, this guy, the terroir wasn't bad, he's also genius if he's limited to magical talent. Is my orientation and ability just making me feel sorry for not subtly meshing?

"But the troop leader that we had the coup is going to be a nasty strong enemy for the price, isn't he? It would be more convenient to put it in our hands than to have the legitimacy of a rule called the Old Emperor or the Emperor's Granddaughter in the hands of such an enemy.... If you're in the way, you can turn it off."

At the end of the day, Kaala pulls a snarl at the words the teacher whimpered softly.

I thought the Demon Clan, who was planning to revive the Demon King, wouldn't pull it off, but when you think about it, you don't know when Kaala, the finest magician, will be erased by your teacher either.

Be careful not to disturb the teacher.

"No, Father! I'm not freaking out."

"Yes, sir."

"This human warrior, uh, is bringing a woman into the ploy! If you say you're going to kill a woman or a child, you're sweet because your father's going to stop you."

"Yeah, yeah, right."

Not to mention, Doctor, when you decide you should kill, I'll kill you for real (bee).

I don't think we can stop this without good reason.

"It is also the service of the military master to propose things that are difficult for the monarch to say."

With a spare look, the teacher wielded a short wand, mocking the magician robe.

There was a difference in character as a military teacher.

And that's where Queen Silhouette came in.

That's right. We need to turn it down here, too.

"Master Takel, you are going to help His Majesty the Emperor."

"Yes, I'm sorry. I left the castle."

"No, because it would be a good wife to send you out here with pleasure. That's why I became queen, so my concubine will protect me from you."

"I have a good wife."

"But come back as soon as you can,"

This one must be the real deal. I nodded, hugging and kissing.

With a firm face, the teacher watched, so of course I go to the teacher equally. Kiss. I have to say hello to my wife.

"The Father of the Nation..."

Kaara looks at it with a look that seems complicated.

This kind of thing doesn't show people, it's embarrassing.

"Kaara, I'm counting on your flying magic this time."

"Yes, I was asked!

He seemed somewhat happy, so I'll swallow the word that you're a cabbie.

My "Mithril Armor" is handy with the magic of all resistance, and thoughtful, so I think I'll put the "Orihalcon Armor" I got on Louise as well.

Don't let Louise's fighting power get stronger again.

"Wait a minute, please take this"

Then, trying to travel, when I went outside the castle, I was stopped by a teacher who brought me a rucksack.

Take it and check inside, there's a lot of magic gun ammo in there.

"Do you need ammunition so much?"

"Lord Takel, think carefully. If you wield the sword of light in the imperial capital of Germania, it would be like advertising that the valiant of Silesier is here."

"Well, that's externally lame,"

The situation in Germania, which is fractured, is fluid, and it is better to avoid turning the Imperial coup army completely against the enemy at this stage.

Basically, you mean covert activity?

"Yes. Well, if it's dangerous, I can't help it. I also think it would be a good training for magic guns. Well, it's like packing gold coins and shooting guns, so I don't have much trouble getting pampered. Hey... it's good to see you boosting your armaments."

That's a little cute to say. insignificant, is this what they're appealing to me to give me more budget.

That's right, the teacher has no loopholes.

"Thank you. Let me use it."

"Ah, then, Father of the Nation, I'll give you Atashi, too"

What Kaara gave me was a black robe I haven't seen much of lately.

Sure, you can cover up the conspicuous Mithril armor with this, and if you wear a hood in the eye, you'll bring it to covert action.

"Uh, this is the one Kaala was before, the one who concealed the magician."

"Father of the Nation, would you stop saying things like black history in the past? Atashi is still an expert in stealth. This robe itself also has a trace but concealed magic effect, so if you weave feathers instead of capes, you won't have to stand out."

Hmm, not bad. Perfect size.

The texture of a well-used, slightly colored, pitch-black robe is also cool, and fits well when fastened at the shoulder and woven like a jacket from above the armor.

Think about aliases? With a displaced black musketeer (Driff Gunner)?

The blood of the sleeping two came out for a long time.

"But I'm sorry I got you a valuable item. This is a very important robe for Kaala."

"It's okay, I've got three more black robes to wear around."

Well, it seems a little awkward to have uncovered poor fashion sense rather than some sort of black history.

I wish I could at least have a different color or something. Why are you dyeing black when you're not a man?

These demons only have swimsuit-like skin clothes when they take off their robes.

In the meantime, I'm going to put some decent clothes on Kaala.
