Episode 344: The Trinity of the Knights
After that, Sophia said she was headed to town hall for all the formalities, and she quit the room, leaving the four of us in the conference room.
Then the three other people besides me, as if they had been released from the heavy pressure, all together weakened and left themselves in their chairs and desks.
"Ha... I don't like blue peacocks after all"
"Is it also a bad memory?
"It's not like that. I think you should do your job clearly. But the attitude during the mission is such a surprise. That's what the captain was following."
Garnett puts his jaw on his desk and complains about bumps.
Well, if you ask Garnett about his dissatisfaction with the Blue Peacock, that doesn't seem to be the limit.
I turn my gaze to Hild next, wondering what reason the other two are.
"... Besides the security and management of the temple, Honeysuckle (of which) also does research on ancient magical civilizations, such as the relationship between local history and faith and skills... You get a lot of pointers because of the budget entanglements around it..."
Hild leaked a dry laugh as he turned away from me.
"No, well... there's no denying that individual intellectual curiosity is motivated about research, is there? But in the first place, more than ever, the temple is also a place to explore the secrets and wisdom of the gods. Is it natural that the temple-dominated neon scales are researcher temperament..."
"I have trouble excusing myself... and it's a long time..."
I guess it's an argument I've been thinking closely about and preparing for since before, with my gaze swimming but the long dialogue even coming out.
What is considered problematic in this case is still the use of tax revenues from the territory?
Tax revenues, so to speak, are like combining the budget of public service with the salaries of individual knights.
Using it for private purposes is not a problem in itself, but it is a big problem to use it to come in the way of official business, and research on Honeysuckle (Koshiyairin) makes checks more demanding because it is difficult to draw public and private lines… etc.
"I haven't been inspected yet, but you've heard so many times about the horror of being blinded by your predecessor's knight."
Mark said what he knew about the Blue Peacock Knights without me having to ask.
He's a rookie who became an official knight at the same time as me, so he just never seems to have been taken care of by an inspector, but he still hears the troubles.
"Nevertheless, can we finally give you a territory... even if you can change it from Green Hollow to another place, without a territory, you won't be on official business"
I decided to change the direction of the topic just a little bit because it seemed like it was going to start in some kind of stupid tournament.
"Mark. Don't something happen to the stone that you should behave like this as a lord?
"... why do you ask yourself? There will be more experienced people here."
Mark frowned just saying it was out of his mind.
Indeed, Garnett and Hild are many times longer than Mark, if only in the years he has been a knight.
"I'm not talking about territory, I'm throwing a round at Argentine deputies. I've never been there before."
"The Silver Winged Knight has a particularly wide range of activities. I also have a verse that separates the territory from the financial resources. Nice, deputy."
"It costs a little money, but if you think about the hassle they take that way, it's cheap."
Next to Garnett and Hild thriving on a common topic, Mark was surprised with his eyes rounded.
"... I didn't know there was such a difference in perception between the Senior Knights..."
"Groups with large areas of responsibility are more or less the same. The Blue Peacock isn't advanced, but I don't think he's going to make it back to the realm during the mission."
"Do you say, Sir Mark is now asking his deputies for territory, too?
"I'm keeping it with Captain Justin. I'm a member of our team, and I've never heard of you representing an unrelated third party."
The topic switched from the matter of the Blue Peacock as per the prospectus, and an interesting conversation began to take place.
I'm not going to get mixed up on this topic myself, but it's going to help if I'm just listening.
Garnett of the Silver Wings Knights, who are tasked with policing and criminal investigation, does not have much opportunity to return to his territory in relation to the need to frequently fly around the area on mission.
The Hilds of the Knights of Honeyscales, tasked with the security and management of temples throughout the continent and the study of matters involving faith, are not bound to run their territory with their own hands for the reason that they want to devote time to research.
The vigilance against the Oriental continent and the markings of the Knights of Purple Shigeko, whose task is to guard the trade routes with the Oriental, have a strong sense that the territory also governs itself directly because it is concentrated on the eastern edge of the continent.
Even if I say Knights in a bite, Master Sandoku.
I'm sure each of the other nine Knights have their own unique circumstances.
And we - the White Wolf Knights - are going to mix up there, too.
As I was giving my thoughts again on what was to come, I heard the door of the meeting room being knocked lightly.
"Go ahead."
Has anyone from the Silver Wings Knights come to see how it goes, or is Sophia back?
I replied, wondering which of them, but it was a completely different person who opened the door and came in.
"Excuse me. I asked to greet you on your inauguration."
He is a fierce, knightly young man.
He is also quite good in stature and can easily be seen being physically and mentally trained on the front lines.
I immediately remembered the qualities of the youth and took my hand with the meaning of welcome.
"Long time no see. The seconded personnel have been decided upon by you, haven't they? Best regards,"
"No more awe-inspiring responses needed. Sir Luke will be the superior officer in the future."
Hild and Mark have a strange look on their faces in response to the assumption that they are familiar with each other.
Garnett was mixed with it for a while, too, but eventually the knight in front of him seemed to remember who it was, and, oh, he raised his voice briefly.
"I remember. The golden fang guy. That's the face I saw when I was fighting at Demon King's Castle."
"It's Lionel. I didn't expect to be under the command of the same person as the Silver Winged Knight, but let's just say we serve each other without delay"
A handful of elite infiltration units sent by Golden Fang to rescue me when I was brought into Demon King's Castle during the once Demon King's War.
Four knights led by Captain Hazel, a female knight - he is an axe spear (Halvard) knight who was one of them.
"Er... then, Sir Lionel. Because of this, why don't I show you the facility? I guess you should have Sir Sophia, too, and some of it's still under construction in the first place."
