We were not attacked until we reached Adeline territory.
These attacks are meant to be artificial attacks, limited to the raids by the hordes that were aiming at me in the royal province.
Unfortunate or fortunate, they did not pursue me, and we were able to just enter Adeline territory by clearing out a few monsters and a group of lousy bandits.
Then I started thinking, maybe the raid was a coincidence.
But carelessness always leads to bad results.
You don't lose your tension until the end.
Anyway, the magic I learned on my way back to Adeline territory was useful.
Flint's magic makes it easy to build a campfire while camping. In the cool forest, the fur is warmed with warm magic. Of course, when using magic, Arthur secretly used it in a situation he did not see.
Of course, I haven't used any prominent fire magic. When I went for a little water, I made a Demibeast as a test.
“I got here really fast. It's been a week.”
“I think so."
I blurted it out rather quietly, but it seems to be against Arthur the Great.
“No matter how urgent the position is, it's too harsh. Think about the deputy welfare. People have changed. Where's that innocent old Dylan? ”
Arthur looks very tired. Not only was I tired, but so were the horses we rode. If I hadn't put Wormth's magic on the horse, it would have spread already.
The idea came from physical therapy. I applied hot energy to the muscles to release clumps and tired muscles, but they were more effective than I thought.
When I retired later, I thought I could go into the city and open up a physical therapy room.
The value of magic like this is not in power. How it is applied is important. Especially with my modern knowledge, I was able to expand the power of magic applications indefinitely.
“I'll get you a good weapon as a gift. If I'm special, my deputy should be special. ”
“...... It sounds like I'm supposed to sit down as deputy. Is this because I feel bad? ”
“You should be honored. ”
I jumped back and moved the horse. Arthurs quickly spoke as he approached the mansion, not the commercial district.
“Why don't you stop by the tavern for a refreshing beer? ”
“Everyone is looking at us. Don't you think you should be careful? ”
“Oh, it's too late to wear off your post. ”
“Hahahaha!”
We drove our horses more vigorously to the main street of Adeline.
The horse races the road coolly.
Soon we were able to reach our destination.
Adeline's mansion in front of her was still magnificent, with its prestigious dignity intact. It's been a while since I left, but I feel like it's been a while.
What could have happened in the meantime?
In fact, I was more excited to meet Rohan and hear his story than to learn about the Marquis of Kronos.
Meet Eluna and Calmond, who are working hard at Mathis. I have no idea how much money the company has raised.
We got off the horse and left the horse to the horsemen.
“I'll report to the Knights first, then we'll move on separately. ”
“Got it.”
After sending Arthurs first, I immediately went inside the mansion to meet Lord Kronos. Then I encountered an unexpected person.
“Hey, kiddo. ”
Hamel, the third. Behind him lies Ser Paramella. Nothing's changed that much, but it's black under your eyes.
It will be very hard. Confucius Prague will keep quiet while playing with Diablo's holy grail, but Confucius Kaien, who won a high-end fountain pen at the auction, is making his position even more solid.
“It's been a long time. Confucius, I'm sure you've had enough. ”
“Do I look like I do? ”
“You look a little uncomfortable. ”
“Nothing should ever work out. By the way, you did one big thing in the royal family this time. ”
“That's how it happened. ”
“Hmph, go up there. Father is waiting for you. I'm going out for a while, so I'll see you later. ”
“Drinking too much is harmful to your body. Confucius.”
“Shut up.”
At the end of the sentence, Confucius Hamel left the mansion. I wonder if there will be a reunion between the Three Musketeers today.
I don't know what Prince Prague is doing, by the way.
We need to make sure that Calmond has collected the information well. Since no news has flown to Jeonseo-gu, he must be having difficulty collecting.
First things first. I urged you to go to the Marquis's office immediately.
“Dylan. I'm here to see you. ”
“Wait a moment. ”
The knight politely asks for an audience, and you hear a bold voice telling you to come in. The knights open the door, and I go inside.
The baron sat on the throne and looked down at me. And next to it is Weiss.
I walked forward on the carpet, kneeling on one knee and taking an example.
“I'm here to see my noble master. I ran a month after taking orders. ”
“You're early. ”
“I rode with my assistant day and night without using the wagon. ”
“Maybe you like the title this time? What a rush.”
“It's because we need to get back to the Royal Road as soon as possible and take the girl. I didn't have time to wait. ”
I was intrigued by the Marquis's eyes because of my bold answer. It is also half true. And then we need to get to Mathis and check it out.
“You always talk about things that aren't what I expected. ”
The monarch looks satisfied, but the vice next to him does not. It was clear that I was unhappy with my tax investigation.
Indeed, I'm glad you drove the royal road even though it was too much.
Otherwise I wouldn't have gotten so involved with the Duke that things didn't work out.
After I got promoted, Weiss couldn't take it lightly.
I continue to investigate Weiss's reaction and report to the erl.
“Your academy life is about to begin. I need to get back to work as soon as possible, even for a day. I was in a hurry because that's my job. ”
“Speaking of which, I hear you're helping me study. Lord Merlin complained. I feel like a competitor has appeared. ”
“It's just a little skill. ”
In fact, I have no problem with my ability to bring three co-conspirators whose succession gradients are woven. But all I did was insist on Sapiella's love to the end.
Perhaps that will arouse the Marquis' curiosity. Why does this guy have no appetite?
They're not missing, they're hiding.
Succession doesn't have to be done in a mansion. Growing Mathis turned my life upside down. All you need here is enough food to raise Mathis.
“I'm excited to see how that little talent will grow. But how's Sapiella? ”
“We are enjoying the rest of our days at the stars. The king has yet to make a name for himself in the social world, but he is showing his presence to the nobles. ”
“I heard you first met Duke Midas. Good job."
“Thank you for your guidance, Principal Britain. ”
The erl smiles with a meaningless smile. I suddenly thought about what Britain had to report.
Was it reported to the erl that I decided it was best to go to the Duke first? Why else would the Marquis smile like that?
What an unexpected assist.
“It's time to get down to business. As well as news from the stars, I've checked all the relatives from the Bahamut family. No one will deny the ball you have built, and it should be repented from many people's mouths in the future. ”
The Marquis rises from his seat. As he shakes his arms with majesty, his luxurious clothes flap their wings in the sky.
“You will continue to be loyal as Adeline's rightful steward. He then takes the position of Nam Jun-nam and lowers the Tor 'Dang area to vomit. Do you have the last name you want? ”
Sometimes I get a last name, but I heard I can make it myself. Then we decided to attach a more meaningful castle. So I thought about it on my way here.
“Medici. ”
The family that existed where I lived.
It was a family that sponsored academic and artistic causes the Renaissance to bloom in Europe. I wanted to do the same here.
The baron accepted my offer without much color.
“Very well. The Tordanese region will be called Medici and under your rule, and you will be loyal to Adeline for all eternity." Lord Weiss, bring what you came for. ”
Vice moves on the baron's orders. He hands over a fancy sword that was kept at his side to the baron.
I guess that's my reward.
The Marquis steps one step closer, extending his sword toward me.
“A sign of an oath to this black heifer. I will treat you as a proud Adeline family heir, and you must repay me loyally for my family. ”
“Take orders. ”
I raised my hands to receive the sword. It seems that the heavy sword is not just used as an ornament.
You let Mana into the sword for a moment.
The machete responding to Mana resonated stably. I could see that it was made by a very good craftsman. I'm afraid I have to retire the Black that Smith gave me.
“I'll use it for the Black Clan and for you from now on. Thank you again for your generosity. ”
“I look forward to keeping that in mind. I will make a seal for your family. Get the other documents from Janloff. ”
“Yes, my lord. ”
I came out with respect.
As soon as I came out, I remembered a notification message in the status window as if I was waiting.
Okay! Okay!
A locked info window will be opened by achieving certain goals.
Two, as expected. We need to quickly check which info window is open.
Lohan is the most decent person in the mansion right now. It's been a long time since I've had a hot hug and checked the status window.
However, the atmosphere outside the office changed a bit. When the knights saw the sword in my hand, they were flawed, surprised, and ordained.
“I'll cut it short, Lord Dylan. ”
I'm also a butler, but I'm also a pretender for the territory. They deserve respect.
A sword can make such dramatic changes.
I nodded, smiling satisfactorily, and then moved on.
* * *
There was no stiffness in my steps.
I found Janroff's office because I had to get a vomit and an appointment. He was busy, but as soon as I came in, I smiled and said this.
“I've been waiting a long time for you to come. Have you found your master?”
“Yes. I thought there was going to be a big party, but I got a short notice. ”
“Viceroy Jun is like that. Besides, things haven't been so good lately. ”
What do you mean, it's not good? It was the first I had heard of it. I didn't notice anything very strange when I crossed the city.
“Is something wrong? ”
“Looks like the Earl of Astria has begun large-scale military training. That's why I heard there are messengers coming and going every day from the perimeter. ”
Holy shit.
Are you going to start a war?
