Survival in Another World With My Master
Episode 336: The Unreachable
After my work in the County of Travis, I decided to cross some territory.
I am the king's mate, the husband and spouse of the queen.From a common sense standpoint, it is the number two position of this country - the nascent kingdom of Merinard.I am not aware of that, but at least for the aristocrats who value such status and dignity, it is something that should be treated as such.
On top of that, I will lead the Northern campaign and stop the invasion by the two countries of the North.There are anecdotes that the Liberation Army, led by Sylphie, was instrumental in regaining the kingdom of Merinard.
Besides, I don't have time for episodes such as taking a lot of food out of nowhere, making a lot of grace out of my farmland regardless of the season, healing old wounds in an instant, creating a fortress in an instant, following dragons, summoning iron giants like to look up, being certified a saint by a moderate Adolese sect, or a hero of the story.
Everything is true, by the way.
Still, my personal information is very vague.I know that I am more a man than the Queen's spouse, and I know that I am married to many women besides the Queen.But I hardly know who I am or who I am.Of course, I don't know what I like or hate, and I don't even know if my personality is warm or cruel.
Because if you are to swallow rumors about me, I will reach out to the needy, the weak, and give great charity, while dealing with the hostiles is relentless and very harsh - people with such fierce duality.
I went to Merynesburg several times and there were nobles who climbed the castle, but my visit didn't come true.
I tried to turn down the nobility as much as I could, and Sylvie and Merty were doing the same.I thought getting involved with the nobles would be a hassle, and Sylvie and Merty didn't want the nobles to know I existed.
Given my personality, I might have thought that if I got along too well, I would put it on the nobles with a light feeling.Actually, I guess so. The nobleman who asked to see me was a nobleman, and he was accompanying his mysterious children to get along with me.
Well, I mean, what do you want to say?For the nobles who welcome me, my visit is a very headache and stressful event.
That would be the case. One mistake could be that the Iron Titans, who have ravaged the two northern countries, will struggle to destroy their territory.Rumor has it I'm a very merciless man to the hostiles.
Much has been accomplished in atrocities, such as bombing thousands of King's soldiers without taking prisoners, turning tens of thousands of troops into ground flesh in the rain of bullets in the two northern countries, and refurbishing the fort with a single blow.
There were rumors of being kind to the weak, and many of the nobles in the country recognized me as "a rabid dog that is usually big and gentle, but cannot be handled if it is clean".
In fact, the nobles I met seemed very afraid of me.I wonder if there is a status of King's Favor, but it was treated as if it was not placed below, or as if it was treated as a swollen object.
"Better than being insulted."
"It's good to be feared and respected.My concubine is very satisfied. "
"You don't need any trouble, do you?"
"I'm also concerned about a little noble hospitality."
"I don't think it's much better than Koske's meal."
Running through the wilderness on Bella's airboard while talking like that.
Well, after all, he still refuses the hospitality of the local aristocrats and runs to work.
"How many villages did this open?"
I think it was the twenty-seventh one.We're done with the west. "
The nearest place could be two a day, but it's been three weeks since I left the territory of Countess Travis, which was my first mandate today - about a month since I left Merlinesburg.It's time to meet Sylvie and Harpy.
When she thought about it, Grande suddenly turned her face forwards, making her face steep.
What's wrong?
"I smell blood. It's coming out."
That's how Grande opened the airboard roof door and jumped out.At the same time, Mr. Harpy, who was scouting over the sky, contacted us with a Golem transmitter.
I've got a target ahead, but something's wrong!
"I think I can see it, but Grande rushed to the scene.Scout a wide area around the scene. "
I see!
Bella speeds up the airboard while we're talking.Needless to say, it's very helpful to learn my intentions.
"The smell of blood is not gentle."
"What can you think of?"
"A monster attack or a bandit attack.I thought you said you were sending a guard. "
"Something came up that couldn't be stopped with that escort.But this area is far from the realm of monsters. "
It's like a bandit or something.
When I arrived at the scene with that kind of talk, it was a terrible situation on the battlefield.They were attacked in the middle of the night, and there are many tents built, but all of them are stained with blood, torn to pieces, and burned down.The wreckage has been dumped everywhere and seems to have been devoured by the beast.
"This is terrible."
"Nobody's alive.From what I've seen, the bad guys are probably human. "
That said, some of the remains that Grande pointed to could be seen as sword wounds.The Beast has devoured us, but this body is probably a Wesen woman.They don't seem to be armed, and they don't wear armor.It's plain clothes. It looks like you've been slashed from your back trying to escape, or slightly cut from your shoulder blades to your spine.At least not by the fangs of the beast.
I don't like it.
That's right.
In the meantime, we will retrieve the bodies that rolled into the attacked camp into our inventory.We'll check and mourn the list of pioneers sent to this place later, as the nobles who rule this territory will have it.
Fortunately, even bodies that have been devoured and cannot be personally identified can only be named if they are included in the inventory.
"Looks like you've been plundered for food and stuff.This is definitely a bandit's work. "
"Hmm, maybe some of them have been kidnapped.Because it seems like it's being done quite unilaterally. "
"Looks like we've decided on a pretty good night raid.That's a lot of practice.I wonder if he was killed last night or before, considering the state of the body. "
Oni-daughters also inspect the scene and provide information.Three veteran adventurers are very comfortable at these times.
"Can you track down the bandits?"
"Maybe. He'll be a horse to carry his prey, he'll be using a carriage, and I think we can track him down."
After looking around, the shark nodded.Shumel nods in the same way, and if they both nod, I guess so.Bella? Bella was a little far away, and she's still investigating something, so I don't think she heard the conversation. Yes.
Well, if we clean this place up, we'll be hunting thieves.
Now that we've hunted down the bandits and killed them, not the people who died here will come back to life, but we won't have to take any more victims.Above all, I don't like being interrupted by my work.I don't like killing the people I was supposed to help.That's enough to kill a thief.
