Episode 158

Leaving Lünheit, we arrived at the mining city Klauchen on the edge of the northeastern part of Milaldia.

"It's slow."

Mao, a trader, was waiting in front of the castle gate.

He reports, saying he bumps.

"We have secured a squadron of squadrons. It's easy to persuade. He says he will hold his attitude until he meets the Princess."

I smiled.

"That didn't seem easy, wasn't he trying to kill himself?"

"I want to die if I want to die. Of course everyone is safe."

Mao shrugs, but it's hard to imagine that it wouldn't have been easier.

As expected, the bargaining power to persuade the Rolmunds is likely.

"I'm sorry. Did you get what you asked for?"

"Yeah. I packed a reasonable amount, including spares. I don't know if it fits Rolmund's climate, so I'll manage it."

I guess it's better to leave it to others, but it seems like I can't help but do everything myself.

"Thank you, I'm sure you'll do it, but ..."

"What is it?"

"It's hard work."

"What you say is out of my heart"

What does that mean?

As you pass through the gate, you will be greeted by Blauken, Klauchen's patron.

"Sir Weid, you've come often"

He had been loyal to Rolmund until the end, but surrendered to the Commonwealth in response to the persuasion of the other Northern Nurses.

In his case, the situation was the case, so I'm asking the council not to punish him. Of course, there was no objection.

That's why he is soft on me.

That's why I respond with a smile.

"I came from the front gate properly, not from the window today. I'm going out of the loophole in the back door.

Berkken, known for his solid stuff, smiles in trouble with my bad jokes.

"Well ... yes. The maintenance and security of the mine are perfect."

It's serious enough to talk to Rolmunds.

Perhaps because of the southern disposition, I'm not good at it, but I have more jokes.

Bercken is away, and goshogosho and the werewolf whisper behind.

"How was the captain's joke now?"

"That's right ... about seven out of ten?"

"I think I have six points"

They are rude.

I'm still more social than before.

We go through the mines to Rolmund.

The tunnel itself seems to have been dug from Rolmund for years, and is quite long.

The way through the long tunnel was in the mountains.

It's still summer but it's cold. There may be some differences in latitude and altitude, but the existence of the mountains may also affect the air mass.

And in front of you are the long mountains.

It's all mountains.

Eleora pointed to a distant peak.

"That's the castle of Noviesk, which is at the forefront of Rolmund. It's also my castle."

Looking through a telescope, you can see a robust castle at the summit.

No .... it became a model of a castle in an amusement park of a previous life.

I mean, I don't know much about the castle, so I can't find any other suitable comparisons.

This is a more practical and rugged construction.

"I'm surprised that such a castle is a princess's castle."

"When I grew up and wanted a quiet castle for my research, my Majesty ordered the castle's lord."

Whatever you think, this is this.

But Eleora smiles.

"At that time, there was no story of a southern expedition, and I was glad to be away from the intrigue in the court. At that time, I should have been more vigilant. That's a good lesson."

Indeed, did his character gradually become distorted in this way?

Noviesk Castle is a mountain castle, so its habitability is not very high, but it is said that about 150 soldiers can be stationed for a long time.

"Now, about thirty people are absent at that castle. That's all for the second nine squadron."

That's enough for Princess Shita's Guard, but not too much for military action.

"Are there no other troops to mobilize around here?"

"Sir Kastoniev, my paternal uncle, is the lord of this neighborhood. There are about three thousand soldiers to defend the border."

"Are you a standing soldier?"

"Yes, half-farming villagers, but it's life-saving to defend the land. That's why the farming is done by serfs and peasants, so daily training is not neglected."

Unlike Miladian militia soldiers, Goshi is a fairly professional warrior. It's like a local samurai.

Three thousand in lord class. At least the scale of the country is different from 10,000 or so.

"Is it an ally?"

When I asked suspiciously, Eleora shrugged.

"I do not know"

It's a troublesome land.

Even Rolmund, however, does not mean that he can use this much force to advance to Miraludia.

You have to be prepared for thieves and rebellions, and it's hard to start a war across the mountains in the first place. In winter, neither retreat nor reinforcements remain.

That is why peace has been kept until now, but it has not gone so far.

When we arrived at the castle of Eleora on foot for half a day, we were a little nervous.

I can't seem to betray her here, but I can't help but feel at home.

The worshipers are strong because they are strong, but the worries are Kite, Rashii, and Mao.

I call out to Parker.

"Parker"

"What is it?"

"If something happens, will you protect the attendants?"

Parker disguised himself as a good-looking man with the same illusion.

"Oh, of course. As the same person, I will protect them responsibly."

"Same ... human?"

"You seem to have forgotten sometimes, but I'm originally a human being !? Because I died once, I didn't reincarnate in another race!"

I was reincarnated in another race.

"At the time of his death, he's no longer a living person. He's a relative of zombies."

"That's why reinforcement surgeons are said to be physically supreme! The essence of man lies in intelligence and spirit !?"

Even though the mind can change with just one chemical in the brain.

I'm a human wolf in the brain of a human wolf, so I'm always having trouble.

The fear, especially when pulled by the werewolf's instinct, is known only to those who have experienced it.

Every time you see the traces of the killings you have caused, a cold and cold thing runs through your back.

However, if you think so, Parker, who keeps his mind without even his brain, is a very unstable thing.

Do you want to be kinder?

I thought so.

"Oh, are you the demons of this castle? I'm Parker, a necromancer! I see, you've been executed in violation of military regulations.

"Wait a minute, don't take care of evil spirits without permission."

After all, let's treat it roughly as usual.
