Episode 232

With five Squads of Werewolf and twenty escorts, I and Parker, and Mao left the Imperial City.

When you leave the Imperial City gate, you pass by a horse with a Bolshevik coat of arms.

"Is that a Bolshevik subordinate?"

Monza said softly, I shook my head.

"The coat of arms is different. That's Jovtsiya's subordinate."

It is not the official coat of arms of Bolshevik, because there is no design in the emblem to represent the Lord. Instead, there is a design showing the third son.

It's probably not a coincidence to meet his men here.

As I walk my horse slowly, I stare at the knights of Jovtsiya's men.

The knight silently bowed to me. It is customary in the Imperial City to not take the courtesy of the lower horse because it is congested.

The chain of the sheath decoration fell on the stone pavement with the momentum. A whine sounds.

Monza sees it and smiles.

"Yes, I'm careless."

"Hmm? Oh ..."

I nodded for the time being, but I'm wondering that the knight isn't panicking at all.

The sheath chain is an important piece of dress used in a duel application.

It is a violation of manners if it comes off by chance. Depending on the situation, you may be subject to light punishment.

However, the knight does not move at all and descends lightly, picking up chains slowly.

While watching me.

Finally he bowed again and left on horseback as if nothing had happened.

I think about the sheath chain and the action of the knight.

There was something similar to one scene of the Three Kingdoms I read in my previous life.

I think it was a scene to inform the other party of danger.

After all, is that the case?

I told Monza softly.

"Watch out for attacks on the way"

`` Eh !? Why suddenly !? ''

"This is a warning from Jovuzya. He doesn't have much contact with me on his position, so he told me that way."

Monza flutters his eyes.

"I don't understand the meaning ...?"

It would be difficult for a werewolf to understand such silent communication.

I smile and cheat appropriately.

"I know, I'm the leader of everyone. Tell me secretly."

"all right"

Parker opens her mouth.

"Isn't the raid on Eleora, not us? Is it okay?"

Oh, is that possible?

Well it would be fine.

"I'll send a message to Eleora now, but I'm just asking the surviving wolf squad to guard Eleora, so that's fine."

"That's right."

"And now she has a lot of Rolmund subordinates and supporters. There's no one in this country to turn to Eleora."

Even the Crown Prince Ashley can no longer head to Eleora.

Mao smiles.

"Because of the revolt of the Dniesk family, Eleanor seized the hearts of the soldiers and the people. For them, the leaders who will end the war early and end with victory are themselves worshipers."

Mao is the trader most vulnerable to conflict, so he can easily understand the public. A representative of the people.

"Well, for me, if I was a little sloppy, I could make a lot of money ..."

Withdrawing the previous statement, this is a villain.

Parker appears interested, and digs into the conversation.

"Mao, how did you make money in an unfamiliar foreign country?"

"I'm a trader of rock salt, so I'm a little familiar with minerals. Minerals don't rot and prices vary widely by region."

According to him, Miraraldia purchases rare and rare minerals in large quantities at low prices and transports them through mines.

"Especially jewelry and precious metals can be sold only for their rarity value without practicality. Here, even second-class products will sell well at Miraraldia."

"Would you like me to make it a mineral resource anyway?"

Mao shook her head when I complained.

"I can't do it, it's more than a minute."

"What do you mean?"

Mao smiled faintly as Parker tilted his head.

"If we bring highly practical minerals to Miraraldia, they may become an indispensable resource for our lives in the future. However, if the political situation in Rolmund becomes unstable in the future, we will not be able to purchase them."

Indeed, it is.

It's not going to be like oil from the previous world, but it's never beware.

So I understood Mao's words, but I felt a little strange.

"You say something unusual and sensible for you."

Mao shrugged.

"Because I'm also a legitimate trader, I'm based in Miraraldia. If I don't take responsibility after the sale, I'm involved in the trust. If I can just look at the jewelry, I'm fine with one-off bargains."

This is a strange and lawful guy.

The villain is a villain, at least not just a villain.

Mao responds and asks a question.

"Speaking of which, I've heard interesting stories about mining equipment from mining officials."

"Climbing equipment?"

"Yes, it's a tool for the business of diggers looking for veins. The tools they use seem to have been created by a drowlite about two hundred or three hundred years ago."

Drowlite?

According to Mao, mountaineers and hunters walking across the snowy mountains use the drowlights of the example, a tool left by fugitive slaves.

"About three hundred years ago, this area was full of monsters, and it seemed that there were almost no lovers of climbing the mountain. You have to watch out for both the cold and the monsters."

"I guess so"

Of course, little climbing equipment has been developed, and climbing snowy mountains was a complete suicide act at the time.

However, the slave swordsman Drowlite had created a number of climbing tools that did not exist at the time, and had completed the seemingly impossible mountain crossing.

The pursuing troops apparently did not expect his party to escape beyond the mountains. The pursue squad entered the mountain with light clothing and no one came back.

"For example, wool clothes. Wool usually takes extra fat, but Drowlite left out wool fat as much as possible. Do you know why?"

Fat? Speaking of fat, do not play water.

"Is it to prevent getting wet with snow? If you get wet, your body will cool down at once.

"That's right .. Why is it so easy to understand?"

"Because he is a disciple of a great sage."

It's a convenient way out.

I thought Parker was muttering behind a hat.

"I didn't know ..."

"You won't get cold anymore?-It's a difference in feeling."

"I do not think so?"

He's still leaning his head.

Don't be too concerned about it.

I called on Mao to change the topic.

"aside from that?"

"Oh, yes, yes. After that, there are various ways to use ropes and iron stakes, and to make translucent blindfolds to prevent the sun from reflecting on the snow and burning the eyes."

It's really modern ...

Maybe that person is a reincarnation?

Drowlight is from a war guy not uncommon at the time. According to one theory, he was in the arena and had nothing to do with climbing.

It seems that he has made quite a full-fledged mountaineering tool using only things that are close to him, leaving an unnatural impression. And modern.

There is an anecdote that he went hunting for water beasts to make waterproof clothing, but he is too suspicious.

Eleora is an example of anticipating the times, but she feels a little different from her.

Eleora studied only reasonably and was able to arrive at something that was an extension of current technology. Because there was a foundation, we will always find it.

However, in the case of drowlite, there is no basic knowledge about climbing. In the first place he must have been educated, except for how to handle weapons.

Too unnatural.

There has never been such an unnatural example, so it can't be helped that Drowlite feels like a reincarnation.

Of course, he should have died long ago because he was an ancient person, but if he was a reincarnate, there would have been a reincarnate before me and the first king.

I don't know if there was such a modern mountain climbing technique three hundred years ago, though ...

Nothing is known about the drowlites after escaping Lorumund and crossing the Northern Walls.

It only bears its name in the northernmost city of Milaldia, the oldest northern city of the mountainous city of Drowlite.

No one knows the origin of the name.

This is my guess, but I don't think the slave swordsman Drowlite did not reach Milardia.

Surely he scattered in the Northern Walls to escape his companions.

Otherwise, you'll be a hero in a leadership position at Xintiandi Miraludia.

Later, republics Lolmund rattled as a large number of slaves began to flee following Drowlite's footsteps.

After the birth of the Empire, to prevent slaves from fleeing, the rumor is that "Mirardia is a terrible land where monsters infest, and the escaping slaves have terrified eyes."

In addition, the Empire created a mountain division in preparation for future conflicts. Slave fleeing has plummeted as army monitoring of mountainous areas begins.

With almost no traffic, Rolmund and Milardia go on separate paths.

And now it is.

The hero Drowlight fell midway, but he changed history.

I've been thinking while walking a horse, but I come to that conclusion.

"Thanks Mao, for some interesting information. Please let me know if you know anything about it."

"Oh, oh, I see."

When Mao nodded, Monza came close to me.

"Captain, is there something in the right forest?"

"Oh, there's nothing"

I've been feeling a little strange for some time.

One day we were far from the imperial capital and were in the open woods. The left and right are deep forests.

It's just the right terrain for a raid.

I was warned by Jovtsiya that I thought he would come and go.

I laugh grinning.

"Let's start hunting.

"Ah, fun!"

Monza nodded with a good smile.
