Master of the brave.

Speaking of which, you couldn't have gone to see the elts at night.

Winn, who stopped his leg, turned his attention to Ertz's penthouse, which looked much smaller on the other side.

Wins are climbing sloped mountain roads aiming at the entrance to the abandoned pit road that leads out to Lyon. The place where Winn stopped his leg was just where the trees on the slope on his left hand side broke and his sight opened.

The sky is not called a full blue sky, but it is blessed with good weather.

Still, the top of the mountain of Magil was hung by thin, thin clouds, and I couldn't see it.

I guess I was lucky, as the old man I met on the mansion said, to see the summit of Magil clearly from the mansion of Ertz.

Winn took one deep breath.

The magnificent stream of the Rooms River. An abyss forest that covers everything from the Empire to this Eltz. And the numerous towers that characterized the town of Ertz. And now climbing the Magil Mountains.

He came from Shimrug, the empire city where he was born and raised, a long way from home. And from now on, I will go through the abandoned pit road for my first foreign country, the Kingdom of Lyon.

In this circumstance of escorting Her Royal Highness Princess Cornelia to an abandoned pit sixty years ago to a dangerous place where people would not lean over, Winn remembered his excitement, though careless.

"What's up, brother?

Leticia walking behind Winn turned a strange face to Winn, who stopped her leg.

"No, it's nothing. I opened my eyes and I saw Ertz, so I was just watching."

Leticia also stops her legs and looks at the same person as Wynn.

"Really. Are you all right, Mr. Lloyds?

"It's about the captains, so don't you worry? Instead, the vice president stayed in Eltz, so I'm more worried about him."

If we arrive in the Kingdom of Lyon, there will naturally be a welcoming ceremony for Cornelia and Leticia. Typically, when the royal class travels as state envoys, they are accompanied by specialized civil servants and martial arts officials, so you can leave it to them to prepare for welcoming ceremonies, etc. In fact, the officials who had accompanied Alfred, who remained in Eltz, were in that role.

But now the officials remain in Eltz as well.

Cornelia on her way to the kingdom of Lyon comes with only four new American SS squire. And his predecessor, Wynn, will be the sole head.

"It's okay. Look, even Raul came to the Single Empire, but the people stationed at the Lyons' mansion in the Empire, they also saw the costumes and accessories, right? Lyons should have an imperial hall, too, so why don't you ask the people there?

"A public house?"

"Raul's here, and I can borrow enough people to fix it."

"Right. Besides, I still can't help thinking about what's ahead. First, we need to get safely through the abandoned pit road and get to Lyon."

"Yeah. If we don't hurry, we'll be late."

Nodding, Winn, alongside Leticia, started walking down the mountain road again.

Because I was stopping my legs, there was an opening between them and the wedge walking in front of them.

At the beginning of the party, Lewis stands with a wealth of experience and a directing role, behind which he walks in the order of Leticia, Wynn, the rear of which has experience as an alt, rock, illiza, lino, cornelia, wedge and adventurer.

Focusing on Cornelia, who is a top priority escort, Eliza stands first, who has little health but a wealth of magical guidance, and Lino, who can use the Magic of Body Enhancement if he has to.

Leticia is also meant to be escorted as a prince, but she is so used to traveling with Winn that she has the power to make the difference and not to pull on the oats physically.

He climbed up a mountain path with a steep gradient and eventually went out to a square where decaying wood rolled.

Nobody's visiting now, Old Mine District.

The rolling wood was the pillars and walls of the house.

"All right, we're staying here for the night."

When Olt says so, Eliza and Lewis also unload their bags.

"Is that it? Even though it's still high?

Locke had also unloaded the package according to its endorsement, but asked Winn wonderfully.

I took a lunch break about two minutes ago. Though the day is tilting a little bit, it's still high and not even time to call it evening.

"If you go into the pit right now, you'll be camping all over it. Then you'd better reveal the night here and then come in the next morning."

"Winn is right. And I want to get this guy back."

When Niyali and Olt make the Winns laugh, they walk to the wood that was nearby. What you have in your hand is his prey, the battle axe. I waved it down momentum toward the corner material that I thought was the pillar.

Makes a creepy noise, the corners are shattered and scattered.

"I'll help, too."

Winn, who understood Olt's intentions, also unloaded his luggage and collected decaying and scattered pieces of wood on the ground.

The wood in the abandoned house is dry and good for fuel.

I made my journey support in the town of Ertz and in the mining district at the foot of the mountain, but I finally figured out why I didn't buy fuel there. If you can source firewood here, there's no reason to bother to increase your luggage to climb tough mountain roads.

The waste materials collected were used to create the incineration, and by the time I had finished discharging dinner, the sun had begun to set.

Draw the oil into the pan and simmer with bacon and sauté the leaves, then pour the water and simmer until it boils, adding plenty of corn powder to taste with salt and spices. In the thick soup that was thus made, the dried and hardened bread was soaked and soaked for long-term storage and eaten.

"Speaking of which, this is how you surrounded the bonfire the night you first met Winn and Leticia"

Pouring a sip of wine into the water bottle, Oult saw Wynn and Leticia.

When Winn was nine and Leticia was seven. I'm talking about when I saved Iferina, the wingman girl who was burned inside and orphaned.

"I heard Poulat retired from Adventurer with a broken leg, but are you feeling better?

"I work in Imperial Capital as an employee of the East Branch of the Adventurers Guild. I'm already married, and I have children."

"Right. For him, on the way to pursuing his dreams, he would have been cut off... but very few could survive and start his next life. If your daughter-in-law can do it and you have kids, I want you to take care of that life."

Oult gave him another sip of wine, then gave him a lonely laugh.

Winn is breathtaking.

If you look closely, the face covered by the beard of an oat over fifty is engraved with deep wrinkles.

Adventurers, as a mercenary, it's not strange how old you are to be thinking about retiring already.

The specialty of the Olts is to enter untouched land and find and explore the ruins of the ancient Lentheim kingdom.

It's not just the Lemursil Empire, it's traveling around a lot of countries.

That they set up a house in Eltz, inspired by the fact that Lewis and Eliza became husband and wife.

In the depths of the Magil Mountains, where people do not set foot, there may also be ruins from the Lentheim Kingdom period, but rather than based in Eltz with the intention of exploring it, he may have intended to retire from the adventurer family business in this town.

Successful adventures over and over again, they will already have saved enough money to eat without having to work, and if they feel like it, with the experience gained over the years as adventurers, it is possible to be held by the officials of the Adventurers Guild or as instructors of the Knights of the Lords.

Wynn felt a little sorry for relying on the oat cheaply just because he knew his face.

You saw the look on that Wynn's face, Olt said in a bright voice.

"Nothing to worry about, Winn. I somehow know what you're thinking, but I'm grateful to you for bringing this request. I had two dreams. I want to be an adventurer and look around this world. I want to find a world no one has ever seen. The dream has largely come true, but I just thought that the other dream would come true."

"Another dream?

If you noticed, at some point everyone else was listening to the conversation between Oult, Wynn and Leticia.

Until earlier, he has also noted Leno and Cornelia, who were feeding on one of the golden yarn sparrows he had bought in the mining district at the foot of the mountain.

"That's right, protect the princess and travel!

Turning his eyes to that Cornelia, Olt laughed happily and said.

"You're always with the guy who tried to be an adventurer, aren't you?

"Yes, it is."

"I will! Well... Speaking of which, we... You're traveling to protect your princess."

Eliza and Lewis also laugh out couscous.

Using that story as a starting point, Laura and Ifelina's parents and children, as well as the activities of Win and Leticia at a young age about it, all talked to each other until they were sleepy.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

Before the sun rises yet.

Rewarming the leftovers from yesterday's dinner for breakfast, we headed to the entrance to the abandoned pit road, which is our destination.

There was a long length of grass growing around, and the abandoned pit road with its pocky mouth open on the mountain cliffs was only visible at the top but very large.

The lateral walls and the heavens are reinforced with wood.

Nearby, a wooden trolley was rolling over, probably once used to carry ore from this pit.

In the middle of the pit, where the five adults have lateral widths arranged at their leisure, they are worn decayingly but planks of wood are laid. I guess there was a trolley full of ore coming and going over this.

At the time, when the mine was boasting of luxury, many slaves were used to trolley the ore to the entrance of the pit.

It should be noted that the countries on the western side of the continent, including the Lemursil Empire, are now out of slavery. Many of the slaves are the people of a country that lost the war, because a massive invasion by demons led to a situation in which people were not at war with each other.

Slavery was abolished when all nations of the human race formed alliances and fought under the Great Temple of Emerdia.

Many war refugees, etc. were generated by emigration, but the abolition of slavery is arguably one of the few gospels humankind has gained in the battle against demons.

Interested in that trolley, Wynn, who was crouching and looking into the part of the wheel, rose to notice the footsteps approaching from behind.

When I see it, Leticia and Eliza come together.

"Winn, if I were looking for you, Master Leticia would be here. You couldn't find him because he was crouching."

The trolley is surrounded by tall, back-length grass, similar to the entrance to the pit. If you crouch in, you won't be able to find Winn from the square in front of the pit at Eliza's back length.

"What's going on?

"I need to ask you something."

When Winn cut it like that, Eliza opened her teasing mouth looking over the faces of Winn and Leticia.

"Winn, you guys are knights, right? Then you can use magic, right?

"I can't use a lot of magic. At best, the Knight Sword can be strengthened..."

I tell him to be a little embarrassed about it.

"Oh, but you can use Mr. Cornelia, Rock, Lino and the wedges."

"Yes, and then Lady Leticia, too."

"Yes."

Leticia makes me nod.

"Well, perhaps Master Leticia knows from experience, but will you tell the others what you're about to say, Winn? Don't use high-powered attack magic, especially with explosions, and flame magic in the pit."

The explosion in the pit, a narrow space, has no escape, and the explosion pressure diffuses back and forth from the blast site. If we do, we will involve not only our enemies but even our companions. Besides, the pit itself could collapse.

The same is true of the magic of flames, which, when used in small spaces, cause the surrounding air to be suddenly heated, hot and steamy. It also consumes a lot of precious air.

"The others are still fine, but it's hard to tell Her Royal Highness from me. Can you do me a favor?

"Okay."

"And..."

Eliza said with a strong tone, poking her index finger at Winn's face as she wrinkled between her eyebrows.

"Mr. Wynn? Apparently, you feel inferior for not being able to use magic, but don't be so demeaning to yourself. Is it like the people you trust and admit to quoting yourself low are also saying you don't have eyes to see?

I looked at Leticia standing next to me with the look on Winn's face. She stares at Winn's face.

Winn nodded with a strange look as he turned to Eliza.

"Well, it looks like it's time to leave, so come to the entrance for both of us"

With that said, Eliza had eyes with Cornelia watching this one as she tried to walk out with her back to the two of them. Soon she turned away, but even if she didn't listen to me in detail, I can tell right away that she has pale feelings for Winn.

(Brave man, Your Royal Highness. Besides, I wonder if His Royal Highness expects you to win that you sidestepped a single civilian knight on an unmarried princess. Gather trust from all these people, even if you can't use magic...)

Eliza turned Winn over her shoulder.

(This is Winn's - much greater power than magic or something. Most of all, he doesn't seem to be aware...)

With that in mind, Iliza is overflowing with grin.

Like the people around Winn again, it was impossible to contain expectations of him.
