Struggling Hard As The Lord Of A Castle In A Different World

Episode 74: The Shadow of the Great Powers

When Yongsaki and the others were in contact with Kisaragi, the Raylans were tying up bandits elsewhere.

After the Chamber of Commerce transport carriage that was supposed to be attacked was already attacked, he said he couldn't just leave for free, so he tracked down the bandits.

The bandits were carrying their luggage to a warehouse near the Asiatic harbor, where the Raylans held it.

"Soune, tie them up and send them all to Reinhardt Castle, sir"

Raylan was sending instructions to the Black Dragon Squad as they took the Blue Dragon Knife on their shoulders.

There comes Lily, who finished tying up the bandits.

"Raignan, you look happy."

"To destroy evil is joy, sir. Impudent imitation in Madison, stigma salvage ne"

"If you're going to say that, return the stigma. Apart from that, what about this massive amount of water crystals and ore, cocoa?

When we raided the bandits' Ajito, there were far more inactive water crystals and unfamiliar black ore, cocoa beans, piled inside the warehouse than the looted gold.

"I still know the water crystals and the ore, but the cocoa doesn't make any sense, sir. I'm pretty sure it's a diplomatic product because I was trying to get you on a boat, sir."

"Do you even have a friend who likes chocolate?"

Roberto, who has finished tying up the bandits, joins the two as he claws the cigars.

"Ah, Grandpa"

"I haven't used a sword in a long time, so my joints stink. I caught you obviously, but you still don't have a leader at heart. The lower end of the spectrum is handed over information, and we need to catch the leader..."

On the way we're talking, Roberto's eyes stop on the black ore.

"This guy..."

"Grandpa, do you know anything about this?

"This is geostone. It's also called a willing metal (metal shell), and the shape of the weapon used a long time ago has changed, and now it's just like a stone, but it's like a shape memory alloy that reacts to shock and returns to the original weapon, a stone that's involved"

"So they're building weapons for a purpose, sir?

"No, geostone doesn't even mean you should simply shock. We need to do a stone analysis and research to see what kind of shock it will take to get back to where it was. There's not enough time to have a hundred years if you want to put so many geostones back in their original form. And it takes a lot of fire crystals to process it."

"But it's not the fire crystals that are here, it's the water crystals."

"I have no idea, sir. Do you mind if I take this?

"Isn't that nice? Even if the stolen gold is kept at Rheinhardt Castle, this geostone or water crystal is definitely the back route first. There's never gonna be a dropper."

"Why don't you just report it to Reinhardt Castle for once, and we'll keep it? Dropper, if you didn't show up, there was a law that you could have it.

"That's a month. I don't know about the castle. You're gonna get mad at me for not bringing it, and that's fine."

"Right, Al. Cacao rots when left alone?

"I don't think we're gonna rot, but aren't we gonna grow mold?

"Well, for now, I'll carry it all, sir"

As the three of them considered how to carry it out, a skinhead man hidden in Geostone's shadow suddenly shook up his sword and attacked him.

"Die!

Roberto comes out so abruptly that he shoots and rings the machine gun on his right arm in surprise.

The man is shot in the shoulder and leg and falls.

"Shit, I shot him"

"It's okay, I'm not dead. This guy's probably the leader of the Bandits. We need to hear from him what this supplies is all about."

Lily solidifies trying to wake up a skinhead man.

"Ha!?

"What's up? Become!?"

The three look at the man's face and say no.

Waking up a man who's been lying down, a man doesn't have facial eyes or nose parts, he just has a head like a loose egg.

"Ha Ni!? You just had a face! Why are you missing your face?

The skinhead man seems surprised to touch his own face too, but he has no mouth, so he has no voice.

"Is that some kind of magic!?

"That guy sucks, sir! Away!"

As Raylan grabs Lily's collar and throws it behind her with a force full of dizziness, the faceless man raises a voiceless voice and bursts abruptly dispersed.

The explosion, as if it had even been planted with a bomb inside, punctured the blood as if it had exploded a bag filled with tomato juice, blowing the man's body to wood-tipped dust. All that remained was the blood of a man scattered in a radiolinear fashion.

"Hey, what was that..."

"It's not an explosion to kill the eagles, sir. The explosion is too small."

"I don't know if the Bandits' dealers were doing magic and trying to explode if they got caught."

"That's most likely, sir"

"Mouth seal."

"For now, report to the King."

The three men recovered their supplies and returned to the royal castle.

I was getting reports from the Raylans watching the supplies come in.

"Suddenly I started to say bread, yo"

"It's the same way Carlos was executed we saw him in Madison City."

"Dead was like the leader of the Bandits."

"I'm pretty sure he tried to stop us from talking about the narcissists behind our backs, but the bandits who already did it with us confessed."

"It's about the hardness of the bandits' mouth, sir."

"It's bad you didn't put a pause on everyone."

A carriage carrying Dee came back to the castle a long time ago as we were talking.

"What is it, this pile of supplies?

Dee gets off the carriage and sees supplies being brought in one after the other.

We'll tell you how it happened.

Dee then rounds his eyes.

"I'm just a little away from that... so what happened to the Bandits? I think it was quite a size though."

"I defeated them all and handed them over to Reinhardt Castle"

"Knocked him down!? Those bandits are getting bigger and stronger, and the Reinhardt Castle was enough to burn their hands!?

"Yeah, in a day"

"A day!?

"I could afford a scratch, sir."

"I guess you didn't expect me to attack you in the middle of an attack."

"So this supplies?

"Yes, it was in the Bandits' Ajit. About a thousand water crystals in an unknown geostone? Besides, there's a cacao that calls for a mystery for about a tsang, sir."

"I also picked up geostones and cocoa for a low price from the Bart Chamber of Commerce"

"And you do incredible things"

"Maybe it would have been quicker if Dee had been here, wouldn't it?

"Definitely, sir."

"Anything else involved?

"I lost my bald face and exploded."

"Huh?"

When he tells the story, which was a warehouse, Dee puts his hand on his chin and thinks.

"Perhaps there's a possibility of a high-ranking spellman. If you're going to cause a conditional explosion remotely, you'd be at least an S-class or better user. Probably pretty much. King Narcisse should be in a hurry. If they take away all this diplomatic material, they can't help but worry about who they were planning to deal with more than the allies they're fighting for."

"I wonder who this dealer is"

I see a geostone being carried in.

"This much rare metal will be needed, and it will become a limited number of countries that can be processed. Probably either Red Moon, Dorothea, Knights of the Holy Cross, or Tsubaki."

"You're a big country."

"Yes, but Tsubaki is currently in financial difficulty, and there is no Dorothea line because Cacao can be taken even in the south"

"Then the Red Moon or the Knights of the Holy Cross"

"Yes, but it's a snowy country to the north, so you can't be crippled with ice crystals. We just have to melt the ice and turn it into water."

"Bye."

"Yes, the erasure method, but the Knights of the Holy Cross in the west fall under the category of counterparty"

With just three supplies, it's just Dee competent to narrow down the counterpart.

"The Knights of the Holy Cross is a great power in church relations."

"Behind a little king like that, sir."

"Then could we have pissed off the Knights of the Holy Cross?

"No, not necessarily. Because the Knights of the Holy Cross and King Narcisse are not always equal."

"What's going on?

"This supply was probably given to the Knights of the Holy Cross. Instead of making a contribution to this, they had missed the burglary in the vicinity. Or he could have been allowed to wear the Knights of the Holy Cross to a casket."

"The Knights of the Holy Cross is an organization connected to Church headquarters, isn't it? Is that what you're gonna do?

I guess Freya didn't look like a bad tissue on the surface, as she had visited church headquarters before to break the curse. Sophie answers that question.

"What, the church is pretty dreary, isn't it? Perhaps believing in God in the church is about the end priest. The Archbishop doesn't believe in God, so he can't use miracles."

"You're lying, the church is over."

Well, can we just talk about such a lousy fact polo?

"You went to me for help..."

"That means we can hunt down narcissists backwards with this supplies."

"What do you mean, sir?

"He wants this supply back, even though it's not. No, I have to take it back. I mean, if you flinch these supplies, they're gonna have to take my declaration of war."

"I see."

"The supply route has been cut off, and later, the extent to which the remnants of the Allied forces will have"
