11-30 Lysia Almost Kaina Village
On May 13, the day Jen arrived in Loizato, the capital of the Empire of Shouro, Lisia and Pascoe were arriving in the town of Charles.
"It's just a few more days and it's the village of Kaina. You can stay in Toka Village first, leave before dawn and hurry your horses, and you can reach Kaina Village before nightfall."
"Mr. Lisia's been there once, hasn't she, Kaina Village?"
"Yeah, last fall, as a tax collector"
The tax system in the Kingdom of Klein is somewhat special.
Essentially, citizens pay taxes on the state. Though it is wheat, or ore, or money.
And the state shall pay the aristocrats out of their taxes.
This is because there are new nobles and knights, and nobles who have no territory in them.
And the aristocracy with territory is paid according to the size of the territory. That's why Count Walter, who was offered the village of Kaina, is being paid less for it.
but if you return the back, you will say that you will not leave the territory except for the taxes established by the state.
This means that the bulk of the harvest and income from mines from newly opened land belongs to the Lords.
The state buys up the ore. Thus Count Walter's condition was quite warm. Until one case of salt.
It is precisely for this reason that the earlier Inad mine had to have one of the cases of forced labour criminals unknown in the centre.
"It was tough being attacked by a Unified Party (Unifiler) golem back then."
That's what Lisia said as she stroked her lower back sword.
"That's right. But Mr. Lisia must have repelled him, right?
Because Jen had begged me to say so in order to hide his existence, Pascoe Rush was a perception of saying so.
"No, the truth is, Mr. Jin has repelled me."
but I don't even need to hide it anymore. The summit is also something we know all along.
"Ho, is that true!? A magician? How?
It was hard to believe as a pasco.
"You were slashing and ripping the golem with water magic back then."
"That's how..."
I don't know why. Pascoes can also use magic. He was good at Wind Blades (Windcutters), among others, in the wind system.
I've never even heard of that wind magic, such as the slashing and tearing of a metal golem.
"" The Blade of the Water Flow (Waterjet), "said Jin.
"Is this a water jet?... You've never heard of it..."
Apparently, Jen began to feel thin that he was not a regular magician (Magicraftsman).
There was still a little time to get dark, so Lisia goes to see the town by herself. And there's a crowd in front of a store.
When I heard what was going on, the price of salt was too high.
"... that's strange, I heard you had enough salt reserves"
As an ambulance knight, you may also manage the health of your soldiers. At that time, because salt shortages are still a problem, inventory control, confirmation, etc., were also used.
This year, the salt of the Klein kingdom should have been in sufficient stock to release the required quantity.
"Is someone making an unfair purchase?"
but no matter how much you think, there's no reason to buy up salt around here. Normally salt was in circulation, and where I bought it up, I can't expect to make a big profit.
Rather, it only afflicts the inhabitants. And it only increases dissatisfaction with lords and nations.
"No way, is that what this is all about?
I think it was Lisia, but if I didn't know what it meant, I drove the idea out of my head and went back to the inn.
The next fourteen days, the two of them who were early, hurried their horses and managed to reach the village of Toka in the evening, before sunset.
There is a soldier's quarters here. Lisia and Pascoe stayed there.
Before dark, Lisia feeds and waters the biographical dove she's taking.
"Oh, sweetie"
The voice of Lisia. Because on that day, the two pigeons looked whole and swollen.
"Is it cold?"
In cold weather, birds inflate their feathers to store air between their wings, insulate and protect themselves from the cold. Just like that, the two pigeons were inflating their wings.
"I think we should raise a little rice."
So he murmured, and Lisia fed a little more.
And wash our hands, and now it is our own meal. A simple meal for soldiers. Clearly, it's not delicious, but Lisia and Pascoe, who are going through the battlefield, didn't care about anything.
That's when I heard information of interest from the soldiers stationed there.
There is also a lack of salt in this village. They say mysterious men and soldiers are buying it up.
"Speaking of which, I heard that voice in doppa and lacno."
Pascoe says. Lisia didn't ask, but she knew intuitively that Pascoe wasn't lying.
"That's crazy. … as soon as we get to Kaina Village, let's fly pigeons"
That's what Licia promised the soldiers. If you contact the head of kingdom, you will have some measure in place.
"But along the way, a thin rock between Doppa and Lacno, that was amazing"
The atmosphere darkened, so Pascoe shook a different topic.
A thin rocky place is where the Golems of Penglai fixed the cliff collapse.
"Yeah. It was rougher rocky when I used to go through it, but when I went through it today, it was pretty. Ancient Party (Nostalgia), you did a really good job."
Because it cleaned up all the rocks that were about to collapse and magically hung the stones until they cured (hardened).
"The Ancient Party (Nostalgia), huh? I wonder if there's a connection to a mysterious figure like Deus Ex Machina."
Listening to the words of a half-solicited Pascoe, Lisia was blurred to wonder if there was a connection to Jen.
And fifteen days unknown. Lisia and Pascoe left the village of Toka. to reach the village of Kaina within that day.
The horse they ride was a pretty good one, and the other one for luggage hauling was still fine.
The stars were still visible in the sky.
As you continue down the road, you will also lose sight of the star. And the east sky brightened, and the sun rose.
"The weather looks good today."
When the night dawned, the two of them were through the rocks. It is that rocky place that was previously attacked by the Golem.
"Crossing that bridge is a mountain path."
Lisia explains to Pascoe.
"Then let the horses drink water in the river there."
"Right."
I've been out of Toka Village for two hours. Just right for a break. The two led horses to the water and gave them as much to drink as they wanted.
We eat mobile food ourselves. The contents are dry bread and dried meat. It's hard to get through my throat without water, but I have plenty of water so I have no problem with it.
I'll be leaving again in about fifteen minutes.
The sun is already rising and the temperatures are warmer. Fumiglia remembered, and when she saw the bird basket she was wearing behind the saddle, the two pigeons were still swelling their wings slightly.
"It'll be warmer soon."
Lysia, who spoke so loudly, rushes the horse.
If I climb, the pace will drop, so I'm going to earn some distance before then.
Pascoe seemed to know the area, too, and followed him with a load-carrying horse.
"Mr. Lisia, you're used to it..."
As for Pascoe, I wanted to line up the horses and move on, but I stopped because of the width of the road.
On the way down, a pedestrian came. The other side is for the carriage, and the difference is critical. It was still good to stop the parallel, Pascoe thought in his heart.
The pedestrian seemed to see Lisia and say something, but Lisia was leaning down at that time, so in the end the two went off without exchanging words.
And the mountain path was ninety-nine folded, and when the horse began to sweat, the slope finally loosened and attached to the lounge. Just in time and noon.
"You managed to get there as planned. Then let's rest here."
That's what I said. Lisia's face lit up a little red, and her breath was rough.
"Mr. Lisia? Aren't you feeling ill?
Worried about it, Pascoe asked, and Lisia shook her head.
"No, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired."
So he went to the water field and washed his face and hands. Pascoes also continue, and at the end of the day, the horses are also allowed to drink water.
Then the two have lunch. As in the morning, it is dried bread and dried meat.
Pascoe, who was hungry, quickly flattened out, but Lisia doesn't seem to have an appetite and she's chewing in the first place forever.
"Mr. Lisia, are you okay?
When Pascoe says so, Lisia looks up as a hack.
"It's okay. I just don't have an appetite."
"Shouldn't you be forced not to eat at that time?
And Pascoe said, Well, Lisia nodded, and when she was forced to swallow the meat in her mouth with water, she put the rest back in the bag.
"Come on, if you work a little harder, it's Kaina Village. I'll let you rest there."
"Let's do that."
Pascoe was worried that Lisia seemed to be unable to do it, but in any case she couldn't do anything without wearing it to Kaina Village, and now she said nothing.
The horse ate the surrounding grass and seemed to be pulling sweat, so he decided to pace it up a little bit.
There are no more steep slopes on the road, and if you go to Togo, you will descend later.
At the current pace, the village of Kaina was likely to be reached around 4: 30.
Pascoes to follow from behind. Lysia looks pretty spicy from that eye.
They also have rounded spines that are usually stretched properly, and they don't look very well.
Lisia, a healing magic user, doesn't think so, but there's quite a difference between healing an injury and healing an illness.
It is surgery, so to speak, that heals the injury, and it is internal medicine that heals the disease.
Lisia was familiar with surgery, or healing injuries, but was not good at healing illnesses.
"Good luck with that, Mr. Lisia."
Pascoe can only care about Lysia, who seems to be getting worse and worse.
But I managed to climb to Togo. Half an hour behind schedule, but we still have enough time.
All we have to do is go down.
The river Hermé was visible in front of the two of them.
