Episode 248: The Village Behind the Mountains Hathaler and Management

It's a terrible story to show you all this stuff. "Normal Village," etc., but if you see a village called Hathaler without this secret, it was a bit strange, but it was definitely a normal village.

At least, that's what I believed.

The villagers, with the exception of the two of us here, and my father-in-law Ingo, should equally recognize Hathaler as a normal village.

You'd feel uncomfortable if you went outside, but you were a little different, uncomfortable enough to end up with.

Nevertheless.

Why did you bother bringing us here when you claim to be a "normal village"?

If you always wanted to be a "normal village," I don't think we should have been taught this place either.

At least that's what we've been doing for a long time.

Only a limited number of ancient villages and those responsible knew and kept secrets.

That would be the case.

And yet, I find it strange.

Well, you wanted to ask me something, so instead, I was talking about, but the scale of the secrets you told me is too big.

That's what I'm thinking, Garb says.

"... Now the Capitans have said that Hathhaler is a 'normal village' already. Evidence is that there were only three people who knew this place now. So... I really thought we should make it a normal village."

"What do you mean?

When I slapped him in the neck, Garb continued.

"Didn't I tell you before? Once upon a time, the village was more of a slaughter. That's because we have it here. Back in the day, the Sorcery Master, the Knights Commander, the King... the old-fashioned role has only three of them left, but when I was young, there were other prime ministers, justice ministers, clerics, whatever."

Not now, nothing more than that.

How is it gone?

I can tell from the word that it was a slaughter, it's not a very good story.

Garb continues.

"Because it was when I was young... you weren't even born a Capitan or an Ingo. It was the time of the previous village chief. In those days, the six people who knew about this place had broken opinions. I mean... make the most of it or not. The three men who had the role of Chancellor, Minister of Justice, and Cleric insisted that if we used this place well, Hathhaler could call people, become a massive city, and then life would be richer, and the villagers would be happy. I have heard that the other three did not understand the opinion, but did not feel positive either. Anyway, it's a secret I've been keeping for a long time. Now, there's one conservative reason why we're going outside on our own... and the other is the danger here. You can tell by looking at this guy, right?

With that said, Garb strokes the Black King tiger Shahor Melefnamel.

Totally catty, by the way, but it's supposed to be a monster if you fight.

If a village had something like this as a force of war, someone would surely show up to use it.

... I guess that's what danger means.

"Were you worried that it would be used somewhere?

"Yes. Not to mention countries and organizations, and there are many people outside the village who have powerful powers, even individuals. Sure, this guy, this place can be a powerful weapon, but we're not even in the country in the first place. At the end of the day, I felt strongly deceived and used, and the village was going to be devastated. So... the two claims ended without any interaction to the end"

"... done?

What has ended.

When I urged her to continue, Garb nodded,

"It's over. As you can see from me and the Capitans, Hathhaler possesses a variety of special skills. We could all use magic and minds. That's not normal either. Something powerful that has been told for a long time... The Prime Ministers' opinions have remained the same, and at the end of the day they have tried to screw down by force. And against the other three at the time... the remaining winners were the magic master, the knight captain, the king... I mean, the pharmacist, the hunter-head and the village chief, so... Well, it didn't go to zero damage. The pharmacist was seriously injured, and the hunter's head was no longer a hunter. The village chief managed, but it still didn't change that he was full of creativity. And the three prime ministers are all dead, and this is how it ends."

There is also the smell of blood.

It was a slaughter, but I didn't think it was going to be this far.

I didn't know there had ever been such a fierce struggle in a village like this...

unspeakable, Garb laughed all the time,

"It was a long time ago. So, I'll keep talking, but that happened after all, because I'm trying to protect this place. I thought I'd stop. I'm counting on you."

and throw in quite a few problem statements.

"... Didn't you work hard to protect this place?

"Ma, I sure am. Things have changed. Look, I guess Lorraine there is from the Realmud Empire, huh? So I know this place... I mean, after the feud in that village, this place came to the knowledge of the Realmud Empire. Well, we still don't seem to know it's connected to Hutthaler."

To this word, Lorraine nodded,

"They say it was almost fifty years ago that the Realmud Empire grasped this place... but like I said, I don't know what the big deal is. But still, this is an ancient ruin. It has always been said that there will be useful magic props. However, it has been abandoned so far because of the difficulty of the investigation, but lately the empire has been a noise...... I have heard that the value here has also been reviewed and plans to dispatch survey teams on a regular basis are beginning to be proposed"

Garb nodded at this too,

"That's what I'm saying. In the first place, it seems that the prime ministers said that this place should be made public at the time, because one of them witnessed a person coming here. I guess we were in the mood for it before someone took it from us. That said, it is conveyed to our autobiography that there have been many times if we go back in history that people have come. I guess it was just one of the excuses...... not now. If the Empire were to name the country and embark on an investigation, we wouldn't even be talking about peace of mind as before. Someone wants to leave the management to the lighter footwork guys. So there's something that just seems right, and that's why."
