Magi Craft Meister

15-18 Kingdom of Franz/Town of Roluon

There was a post at the end of the dive at the gate, where border guards from the Kingdom of Franz were waiting.

"Stop!"

Guards staring at the carriage that stopped in front of them.

Jen thought about getting off on his own, but Elsa stopped him and made Edgar hold an exit permit for the Klein kingdom to present it to the soldiers.

"Confirm. Wait a minute."

When the soldiers' captains received their permits, they were directed to a small building in the back.

Steward, your man, drove slowly and parked his carriage in the indicated position.

"What? Is this horse a golem?

"I've never seen this carriage before."

The soldiers there touch the body of the vehicle with their hands on it in an improper manner. Reiko has an angry look on her face, but Jen slapped her shoulder softly to forgive it.

"Never mind."

"... Yes"

Three or four minutes later, officials who appear to be in charge on the side of the Kingdom of Franz will come and check the carriage and the occupants.

"Hmm, Sir Shouro Imperial, Gin Nido, his sister Elsa Nido, friends Theon and Lucas. And Laeko and Edgar from Automata. You're the steward, aren't you?

"Yes."

That's when Elsa handed something to the official.

"Helpfulness, hard work"

officials were trying to ascertain in their hands what they had received, but soon,

"All right, go through."

and gave permission.

The carriage carrying Jens went out into the street at somewhat faster speeds and took a distance from the barracks.

"Elsa, what have you done?

Though I had a faint idea, Jen asked Elsa to confirm.

"I let him grip two gold coins"

In short, under the sleeve, it's a bribe. Jen was mildly surprised that Elsa knew such a backhand.

"... taught by brother Rai"

I asked Reinhardt a lot of precautions last night because I was going to the kingdom of Franz.

"If possible, I shouldn't go," he also said. Really, you're right. It's not an attitude toward Sir. I'm not educated. "

"Uh, I knew it. I was told to be careful, too."

Theon, who overheard the conversation between the two, said with a slightly sorry face.

"Sorry about that. Looks like I let you do something dangerous on purpose."

But Jen smiled at Scion like that.

"Never mind. It is also true that you would like to come to the Kingdom of Franz. But if you think so, why don't you tell me a little more about you guys?

"... what are you doing?

"Why did your sister go to the kingdom of Franz and why the Hundred Handed Titans came after you?"

"A hundred-handed giant?"

I'll tell Jen here what was in the report from you, old man.

And that seemed to work pretty well.

"... the Hundred Handed Giants (Hekatonkale) probably had us chased by a clan of Puppets."

"Well, you still have a clan with that ability."

"... as you can guess. The" Puppet "clan is good at slave magic. I can do most of the demons."

Jen nodded. Because it coincides with the hypothesis you made about Arshel. Here and Jen asks what he cared about.

"Does that ability also work for humans and you?

"No, normal slave magic doesn't work for me and Lucas. Because most demons are resistant to mental attacks. What about humans? You don't know because you don't know the precedent."

When Jen heard about it, he secretly thought that knowledge transfer (transinfo) might not have worked because of its resistance. And from the example of Marcosias, it would work for humans, too.

"I didn't even know about your sister. Perhaps, after we left, we were dispatched again."

"Hmm, if one of you fails, I hope the other succeeds, something like that?

He went to the Kingdom of Klein as well as the Kingdom of Franz to negotiate food aid, it seems. Where topography does not make it possible.

From the Grand Gorge of Pazdext, the Kingdom of Klein is slightly closer, but there are steep mountains along the way. Meanwhile, although the Kingdom of Franz is a little far away, the height of the mountains to cross along the way is low.

"I see. Your sister was unlucky..."

"... yeah"

You must have remembered my sister, Theon let her face down.

But as for Jen, I was wondering if one of them was an obsession with the radical demons. And behold, when the hundred-handed giants (Hecatonkail) came after them, they would be Zions.

The fact that someone like Lucas, unsuitable for negotiation, came with him as an escort is also convincing.

Jen thought it was ironic that Jin was more successful in negotiating and his fate failed, but he didn't tell Zion.

As a result of the slightly faster pace of the streets, after noon we were able to reach the town of Lolloon.

Foreigners say they can't get a carriage all over town, so park the carriage in the carriage park at the town entrance. Of course they took the money.

"Stay here today and gather information"

Jen suggests so. Theon and Lucas did not differ from it either.

"Well. We have to decide on an inn first.... Ugh?

Stepping from the parking lot to the town, Jen was breathtaking in a landscape that looked nothing like the town he had ever visited.

"This is..."

"... terrible"

It was an unusual landscape.

The building is made of stone, similar to the Kingdom of Klein. But the inhabitants were very different.

Two main avenues. Rich and poor. That can be seen at a glance. Because you dress differently.

The rich wear fine clothes and walk dignified down the street. Many have obese body shapes throughout.

The poor wore thin, dirty clothes, pale and lean, and walked frightened at the edge of the street.

I didn't know there were any disparities so far.

"... human beings are also discriminated against."

One Scion is nodding.

"Yes. Even humans are many things. Good guy, bad guy. Honest, belly-black. The strong, the weak.... Too bad."

Lucas saw that humans weren't a single rock either, and I guess there's something to think about, he was only face to face all the time.

"... husband, noble husband"

At that time there was a man who spoke to Jens.

"Looking for an inn? I know a good place to stay. If you're a foreigner, you'll love it!

The man, who would fall into the category of the poor, dressed appropriately looking, followed and laughed and rubbed against Jens.

Things like late twenties or early thirties, I guess. lean body shape, but was tight and felt strength in his eyes.

Reiko and Edgar enter an immediate battle posture. Lucas was one-tempo late.

But the man doesn't even seem to notice their murderous intentions, and he keeps talking peppery.

"I said Fernan, and I'm an informer in this town. In addition to the inn, if you need any information, we can take care of it, right?

Earlier, he was listening to the line 'Let's gather information' he was talking about when he got off the carriage. Looks like a guy with a hard time getting out of it.

"Well, let me introduce you to the inn first."

Jen replied. Depending on the inn, I thought I'd give it a rating of a man named Fernan.

"Hehe, then follow me here."

Fernan took the lead and walked out. Jens follows. Reiko and Edgar don't get off guard.

Straight down Central Avenue and take another street you interacted with to the right. The northern corner of the town was lined with luxury homes, up to a large park.

Adjacent to the park was a large hotel.

"This is where it is. Say" Otel Renault. "Come on."

"Can you hold on a second?

Jen took one silver coin out of his pocket and made Fernan grip it. And they all went to the hotel.

To conclude, the hotel was a hit.

Two meals per night, 1,000 torres with room service. Of course, there are four of them (the automatic doll (Automata) was free because it handles luggage).

A hundred thousand yen for four would have been acceptable. He was prepared that there would be no decent lodging without high prices and about double the price.

Jens, who checked in and left their luggage behind, left two secret mobile units (SPs) with Jens behind and once again all came to the park in front of Fernan's waiting hotel.

"Hehe, how was it? Nice hotel, huh?

"Oh, that's not good. So, do you know about the men and women who were caught in Enak a few days ago?

With all the time wasted, Jen sets up quite a direct ball game.

"Well, is that rumor already spreading? Rumor has it that the Devil's Spirit is everything."

"Oh, that's it. I want as much information as I can about those two."

Fernan thought about it a little later.

"... Let's take on ten gold coins. Tomorrow afternoon, I'll see you here. Oh, can I have some on the advance?

Jen told Reiko and gave Fernan five gold coins.

"All right, tomorrow afternoon, right. Nice to meet you."

"Hehe, leave it to me."

Fernan, who received the money, disappeared early enough.
