Since I was reincarnated as a poor farmer in another world, I decided to lay bricks and build a castle

"Oh, here we go. Looks like something's gone wrong, Brother Ars. He was suddenly attacked in the Wang capital and fled with his life."

"... Huh? Is he alive, that old man?"

"Yeah. I can handle it. Even so, it looks like he was in pretty serious condition when he was transported here. Just because Cardinal Miriaria was in this city of Rishar, he asked me to [recover] and take his life."

"Are you sure you're alive, Kyle? When Lion got the information on the King's capital, he said Lord Joseph had lost his life."

"Sounds like the Greatest family magic. He used a spell called" [Instead]. "

"Isn't that the effect of preventing attacks on others? Sure, I think Lord Joseph said he was using [substitute] against King Doren."

"Yeah, I am. But Lord Joseph isn't the only one in the Greatest family. I hear someone else was using [substitute] against Lord Joseph. So he managed to be safe."

Joseph was killed in the king's capital.

That's what Lion told me in the city of Fontana. I immediately headed to the city of Lishar.

And that's where Kyle asked me something else.

Joseph seems to be alive.

The Greated family has served the Doren royal family for generations in the Wang metropolitan area.

Basically, aristocrats who use magic in the Wang metropolitan area often have the magic of a cultural system.

but it wasn't just a nobleman at all unfit for battle.

The Greateds are the few exceptions, and rarely can they use magic to protect others.

The magic of [substitute].

If a subject is attacked while using it against someone who wants to protect it, the magic user will replace the attack.

but they say this seems a little vague about the effect.

When it comes to replacing the damage done by an attack, they say that the person attacked is not intact, but rather usually scratched.

So when Joseph, who was persuading his surroundings in the king's capital, was slashed with a sword by the head of the Bismarck family, Joseph's body was undoubtedly spayed.

To that end, Joseph was fatally wounded.

He said that whoever saw it got a wound that just seemed to be dead.

And when he saw it, those around him spread the word of Joseph's death, and it must have come into Lion's ear.

But Joseph was alive.

Because the Grated family used [substitute] beforehand.

Apparently, both me and Lion were mistaken about this magic thing.

I was wondering if it was magic to take the damage on my behalf, but it wasn't.

Somehow, it seems to have the effect of sharing life force.

Joseph, who was fatally wounded, but it seems that other Greated-family humans bore the residual amount of vitality that was supposed to be lost by [substitution], and that it was done with the degree of serious death.

I'm not really sure, but I'm sure he had 1 HP left or something like that.

"So, the Greated-family fled to this point Lord Joseph, who is now dying, and was helped by Cardinal Miriaria's [recovery], he said. Well, I'm glad you're safe at all costs. I felt a little responsible, too."

"Then why don't you put [recovery] on Lord Joseph, too, brother Ars like that? Cardinal Migliaria said that the wounds on his body just took his life and he was still a little worried."

"Oh, yeah. All right, all right. Show me around, Kyle. [Recover] Let's go."

Joseph, who was thought dead by those who watched.

The Joseph was taken out by the Greatest family shortly after he was attacked, and turned out to be barely alive.

As a result, the Greatest family immediately went into action.

He said he drove the dragon rider to take off the king's capital and go for the city of Rishar.

I used secret medications and the like and treated the wound but the wound was still deep and not likely to heal easily.

The only way to cure such a serious wound is to rely on the church.

but I don't know what kind of interference the other aristocrats in the Wang capital will do, starting with the Bismarck family.

Therefore, he abandoned his treatment in the Wang capital and rushed into the city of Rishar.

And so Miriaria, who was coming down from Sky Cemetery, used [recovery].

Now he said that he managed not to die and was on his way to recovery.

It just doesn't seem complete.

For that reason, I decided to ask Joseph to take me back to the room where he was resting in order to [recover].

But I thought it would be.

Had the magic of [substitution], therefore, did the Greated family continue to serve the Doren royal family for many years, and were they also in the Wang metropolitan area with a great deal of influence?

And I can also see that they took responsibility for the previous raid on King Doren the Earlier.

I guess it couldn't have been better for the king to lose his life or something.

If [instead] had been used, the Greatest family would have died first, even if they had been attacked.

And if you can earn even that little time, you can run into the church and make them [recover].

Even so, the king died and Joseph survived.

I don't think it was meant to be.

but I'm pretty sure it was such a lapse in political strife that I would lose a lot of legs.

It was because of that that an old nobleman named Joseph would have been faithful to the present King Doren in order to return the stigma.

I cast a [healing] spell at Joseph, who sleeps in the guided room, and completely healed the wound.
