It was about when Christina began to focus more on the political affairs, as the body and mind were vibrant.

Almost three months have passed since Christina left Almadia's family home and became a baron, and the signs of summer approaching became apparent to the skin.

By this time, the existence of towers closely related to the great god Caravis, the earth mother god Mylar, and the great god Chaos near Bern village became known to cities other than Galois, and the smell of adventurers and money trying to gain merit. Merchants who have smelled are lined up on the highway.

More and more people are seeking perfumes and medicines that use rare plants from Ente Forest, which are sold only in the village of Bern.

In particular, from the northern kingdom to the royal capital, as well as the eastern, western, and southern regions, perfumes of various flowers, including the black roses of Diadora, are prevalent among the wealthy. Is also being scattered.

The most common of these are the second and third sons of farmers who are aware that the land they have cultivated will become their own and dream to own the land, as well as free laborers.

As a baron of Bern who wants a labor force, he accepts no matter if his shin is hurt, and of course he is not tolerant if it seems to disturb the security, but generally welcomes those who step on the land of Bern doing.

The first to greet them in Baron Bern is the newly built barrier and its gate.

Large-scale roads and accommodations that connect the villages of Klause and Bern, and the stone statues that approach the roads alone were impressive, but the barriers and gates are a bit different.

Now that the South Gate is the only one connected to the highway, and the perception that this is the place seen by visitors to Baron for the first time, Christina and Doran look good at the barrier, the South Gate, and the soldiers who guard it. And quality were very important.

For the soldiers selected from the Knights of Bern, the following important work for the Baron, which is a seemingly sobering and evolving gatekeeper, is not only for the commander Barran, but also for Christina, the lord. Scented pottery is given.

Thoroughly polished and worn without any compromise, it is made of Damascus and armor helmets with light weight, anti-magic processing, body strengthening magic, etc. are attached, with halberds, long swords, daggers, circular shields of the same material The faces of the armed soldiers had pride in doing work worthy of pride.

Beyond them, mass-produced golems, for which Doran has officially applied for a patent for the Magic Guild, are lining up along the barriers, guarding against emergency situations.

The new barrier was able to catch the eyes of ordinary people who had nothing to do with force or magic, as well as the quality of each soldier's equipment and golem.

In the past, Deirdre covered the barrier with countless black roses and its thorns, but now it is more gorgeous and more gorgeous with the elaboration of various trees and flowers living in the forest of Ente who wanted to imitate Diadora. Have been.

Seasonal flowers and various tree trunks and ivy covered the walls of the barrier, creating a special look that is unique to Baron Berne, similar to, but different from, a devastated castle drunk by trees.

Some stop before going through the gates, and some indulge in poetry or eagerly brush towards the plain campus.

The Baron side of Bern now has a parking lot for stopping carriages, a café where snacks can be taken, a food stall on a stall, etc. As a result, places of economic activity were expanding outside of the village of Bern.

Also, this barrier is completed on the east side of the forest side of Ente and the north side of the Mores Mountains side, the southern part connecting to the village of Krause, and the west and northwest part from the southwest to the dark wilderness. Because it is a part related to future development, it is temporarily stopped.

Instead, in parallel with the construction of barriers in the dark wilderness, talks are going on in the direction of building multiple small forts for surveillance, and work golems and soldiers will go along with the materials and carry out construction work. I work for.

One day, there was a special group visiting Christina's mansion, always dealing with migrants and tourists coming in every day.

Formerly a member of the soldiers of the village of Bern, Cress, now officially a knight, has returned with his guests.

Cress was tasked with visiting a lizard who had settled in the northern Mores Mountains, with several horse golem carriages carrying soldiers and veteran names.

Cress began to work on a full-fledged reclamation of the northwestern swamp of the village of Bern, where the lizards originally lived, and Cress set out to talk to the original resident Lizard to remove future frictions and anxiety. He successfully returned to Bern after successfully negotiating with the Lizards.

Cress, wearing the dirt and tiredness of his journey, cleaned up the dirt and went to Christina for a report, accompanied by four lizard messengers.

Fortunately, with regard to the use of the swamp, the Lizards have not objected to the use of the Bernes as they are already remote, and they are pleased with the resumption of exchanges that had previously been with the village of Bern. became.

Trade items have changed slightly since the Lizards have moved closer to the lakes in the Mores Mountains, but processed foods, fabrics and luxury goods are mainly exported from the Bernese side. From the tribes, metals and rock salts from the Mores Mountains are exported.

What delighted Christina, especially the upper members of the Baron's territory, is the increased access to salt that is vital to survival.

Ryugu has also signed a contract to sell salt on its own, but there is no other way to secure salt.

By the way, the lizards have the appearance of a bipedal lizard that is one or two heads larger than humans, but in addition to the lizards, men and women of lizards were included in the four.

What is the difference between the lizards and the lizards? As mentioned earlier, the lizards are, in short, a bipedal giant lizard with the same level of intelligence as humans. The phylogenetic tree belongs to reptiles.

On the other hand, the lizard people are human subspecies and subhumans created by adding the characteristics of the lizard, originating from the original human species created by the cooperation of multiple gods.

The human element is the main element, the characteristics as a lizard are secondary, and the phylogenetic tree as a species belongs to humans. This is a common element of the tribe called Ajin.

Nevertheless, it is not uncommon for lizards and lizards to live together, even though they have the same lizard element-it's pretty wild to put them together.

The four young people stay in Bern as they are and serve as a contact point for the Lizard trade squad that will come later and as an advisor for the construction of the facilities for staying there.

It is a proof that Christina and Doran have been planning exchanges with other races living in the Mores Mountains.

It is not just Lizards that have made progress in interacting with the various races in the Mores.

Originally in Bern village, there is a river that branches off from a nearby large river flowing from the northeast to the southwest, but now the waterway extends from that river to various parts of the village.

It is natural to expand the waterway besides digging wells, because it is natural to extend the cultivation hands to the dark wilderness where water is scarce, but it is still fine like a mesh, and it is also a boat It is not just a waterway when it comes to passing widths.

In addition, the northern gate that draws the flow from the upstream also used a sturdy iron grate to prevent the invasion of large aquatic organisms such as large crocodile, but now a roll-up type gate is installed. I was

Not only the river flowing inside the village, but also the large river flowing upstream, there are many small reservoirs made by drawing water from the large river on both banks, and mooring boats There is a pier and a small hut.

All of these were created under the direction of Christina, to help the Lake Mermaid clan `` The People of Uala '', who lives on a separate lake from the lizards, rest on their way to the village of Bern. Thing.

Under the auspices of the water dragon Wedro, they had traveled around the Mores through several lakes, ponds, and groundwaters in the Mores, and they sometimes wanted to contact Wedro and contact them outside, He responded to the mission sent by the village of Bern.

Now, the lizards bring precious metals and rock salt before processing, but what the people of Uala bring is their own, the scale of the water dragon Wedro, the high-purity water quarry produced from the lake bottom, fish sauce. And so on.

The waterways around the village are for mermaids, and the Bernes have invested some money and labor to create an environment where they can move through the village.

In addition to promoting exchanges with the tribes living in the Mores Mountains, interacting with a tribe that has the protection of a water dragon acts as a kind of diplomatic pressure externally. It looks like a child, and a measure that could be ridiculed as Happo Bijin.

Berne Baron, who has steadily established exchanges and cooperation with the surrounding tribes that had no interaction before, has a unified invasion from the dark wilderness soon after, and prepares for it. As one side was included.

The fact that a mysterious force different from that of the surrounding nations was involved in the eastern battle for the blessing Princess Fam Fatal also spurred these actions.

However, rather than cooperating and countering the invasion, for those who know the real abilities of Christina, Doran, and Doramina, the Bernese side will take protective action before the evil hands reach out to the surrounding tribes. You can think that it turned.

And that same day, a mission to a hidden village in the Mores Mountains was about to leave Bern.

Horse golems who can walk without problems in the steep Mores Mountains continue to drive several carriages, as well as golems as laborers for civilian officers and escort soldiers in charge of negotiations.

However, in consideration of the special circumstances of this visit, almost all the missions are male and all of them are selected as healthy and as good-looking as possible.

As a result, the number of missions was considerably reduced compared to the past missions, but since the golems bear the labor correspondingly, there is no trouble on the way.

And the biggest difference is that this mission had a figure of Doran who had to accompany him in order to keep his rearing up.

Diadia, Doramina, and Christina have no linen, but instead Serina is beside Doran.

In the current situation of Doran, it is quite rare that there is only one woman by the side, even though the journey lasts several days, if only a few hours.

It is strange that even if it is due to public circumstances, there is no linet that recognizes himself as Doran's property.

This had a lot to do with where they were going.

Doran, dressed as a traveller, is now nervous, albeit only slightly, while Selina, wearing her sunshade hat, is happily climbing red on her cheeks.

"Fuhfu, I'm glad I got home much earlier than I thought, and I'm even more so I can introduce you to Doran!"

Ms. Doran looked at Serina, who gave a satisfying sigh, with a compassionate glance.

Despite their apparent lover and fiance relationship, it was also clear that Doran did not lose her feelings to Selina, such as her grandfather watching over her granddaughter.

"Although I've been talking before, I have to be nervous.

Saying hello to your parents, rather than meeting the representatives of Selina's birthplace as a public affairs of the Baronist of Berne, is even more intimidating than asking your father or Dylan I think. "

"Mama and dad aren't such scary people, but I'm sure they're going to take a tough attitude, because she's Jarula's representative.

Just because Doran is my future husband will not help me. The public is public, and I am the simplest person. ''

"It's just that I'm prepared to be worthy of my position. The official exchange between Lamia's Hidden Village, Jarla, and the village of Bern is good for both parties and not harmful. I believe it will work.

I'm nervous because I'm worried that Serina's mother and father wouldn't think I'm engaged with a woman other than Serina. It's sad, but I'm sorry. ''

Yes, this mission goes to Lamia's hidden village of Jalula, where the population exceeds 1,000.

The secret purpose of taking the Serena-chosen Doran to this hidden village, the hometown of Serina, was also implicit.

And the members of the delegation are made up of good-looking men, who also make it easy for Lamia, who needs a foreign man to be a child, to understand the benefits of interacting. It was for.

While in Jalula, some members may be eaten in some ways, leaving Lamia with new life.

That's unavoidable, says whether Doran and Selina are divisible?

"Well, well, don't think too seriously. Originally, there is a habit of sharing men when men are just missing or when they like each other. I don't think it's a problem that much? "

"If you say that you don't feel very confident, you can't feel relieved, and this time it's the opposite of Jarula customs.

As a parent, there is a woman who has a relationship besides a cute daughter, so it's no wonder that it seems uncomfortable. And I refuse to go to Jarula as a groom. ''

"Well, I tried not to think as much as possible, but once again, it's unusual for Jalula's village. I hope I can persuade my mom."

Delan talks to Selina, who is embarrassed, but with an unwavering determination.

"Well, I'll never give up to be Serina's" husband ". I'll persuade her, and she'll allow her to interact with Bern and get married to Serina.

It's no wonder how Selina responded to Doran's words.
