After the meeting, I had lunch with my grandfather and three old knights.

It's awkward even if they tell my favorite stories forever, so during the meal they decided to set me up to talk to the old knight.

For me, who has never been properly out of Qualdenze territory before, the story of an old knight living in Imperial territory has become very interesting.

Particularly interesting was the story of the sea surrounding the Elo continent.

According to the old knight, huge carnivorous marine life lurks in the sea and the current is disturbed without any regularity. And far away in the sea plains, he said, you can see a number of fog shadows of a wide field, different from the digits of land.

Warcraft also occurs in the field of the sea, and mature warcraft is born, the old knight said.

In the field of the sea, where humans cannot go on crusades, mature warcraft occurs indefinitely, and from time to time, polluted tides of poison reach the coast to afflict fishermen.

I've never seen a book describing the world outside the El O continent before, but now I know why.

At the civilized level of the continent of El O, where only wooden ships can be built, we cannot break through this vicious sea.

Until a powerful warship or plane is developed, I guess the El-O continent will be much more isolated. It is a continent as if it were a place of injustice.

At the end of lunch, the old knight said he would return to Imperial Territory early.

Apparently, the fact that those of the Imperial Knights, though retired, will always be at the military base of the Qualdenze family is the source of unassailable trouble.

My grandfather seemed to understand that point, and he didn't have any particular pull back. I guess I was done talking openly about what I should have told you before I entered the conference room.

"Then Master Galphis. Next, I'll come as a warrior."

"I'll wait for you."

The old knight came to me when he exchanged goodbye greetings with his grandfather.

"Good to see you, Master Wilk."

So the old knight shifted his gaze away from me for a moment so that he could circle his thoughts and become a face that hid his emotions.

With his expression solidified, the old knight slowly opens his mouth.

"Best regards to the Duke of Qualdenze (...)"

When the Kingdom of Levios was founded, it made five titles. I translate from the top to the Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, Baron as a Japanese translation when I write in my diary.

Originally this title does not become homonymous because of the Elo language. The Duke and the Marquis cannot be distinguished in Japanese by "this way", but in Ero they can be heard as another word.

It should be noted that there are also five titles of the Jinker En Empire. Because in the fine part, we are following the example of the kingdom of Levios, a senior nation.

It soon became clear that the old knight had deliberately said "Duke of Qualdenze".

I think this will be a conversation as a nobleman, and I think about how I should return it.

"This"

Then my grandfather slapped the old knight's head properly and turned to his frightened face.

"Don't rush into conversation, it's not like you. Did you catch a cold after breathing the air without the eastern tide?"

"... excuse me. I haven't seen the ocean in a long time, so it seems like things have gone crazy."

The old knight apologizes to me after he has corrected his standing and bids me farewell in the right way again.

Though I thought about what he was trying to say, I returned the usual greeting.

"Dear Wilk, I look forward to seeing you again"

The old knight's eyes shimmered as he pushed his deep wrinkled engraved eyelids, capturing me.

There seems to be a lack of magical children in the old knight's house, so maybe they expect it as a seed horse. She asked me about the type of woman she liked several times during the meal.

For example, I was asked a few specific examples of what these women think. Maybe the old knight's house has a daughter like that.

I would like to check with my father later to see if it is ok to sow it on the daughter of the Imperial Knight family.

Seeing an old knight straddling a horse away, I was still in the mood for sex with a daughter I hadn't seen.

Back in the conference room again, my grandfather and I took the tea prepared for Tesh.

The scent of flowers spreading along with the hot air tickles the nostrils.

"Is your grandfather new here as he is?

"That's right. We have to keep staring here. The enemy knights have been here several times before."

Typically, the new year is spent relaxing and nearby with the family, and the knights of subordination come to greet us at the beginning of the year.

Unfortunately, one grandfather seems lonely to spend the new year at this front-line military base.

There are no ex-girlfriends or children to take this base, which is taking shape because of it.

You don't want to leave this place, even from your grandfather, who is now willing to kill the enemy's home.

Like my grandfather said, there's no way for a knight of the old Voystra descent to show a gap if he's asking for opportunities with tiger sights.

Assuming my grandfather is known to be absent, there is no doubt that an army led by nobility will raid this base.

No matter how powerful the Qualdenze army is, there is not a single defense battle against a nobleman with the magical power of the Lord's ancestors.

Noble opponents can only be nobles.

"Be careful with Newnelly. I assume you read Wilk's letter from Luxe, too? As we pay particular attention to the Holy See."

The letter from my father, which I received the other day, described the achievements of the Expeditionary Force that entered Newnelly Field.

This is the unit that Lupetta set out to identify the mysterious man of the Holy High Council with the Lord's ancestral magic that he saw inside the field.

"What does your grandfather think about the Holy High Council?

Mature Warcraft moves forward in steps while rotting the earth, so tracking its trail can more or less identify where it occurred.

Apparently, the location of the Mature Warcraft discovered by the Expeditionary Force was where Rupetta defeated the Lord Ancestral Mystery Man using manaral crystals.

Near that scene, he said, there was one man who was bleeding to death by Hill, and a foursome group from the Holy High Council dressed as adventurers, who were on the verge of starving to death.

Around the upper and lower body of the Lord Ancestral Mystery Man was rolling, he said, the earth was so polluted that it was unusual. As if a mature warcraft had come from that rotten earth.

"It's hard to believe."

"Right. It's still a hypothesis that Warcraft grows by eating magical humans..."

Warcraft grows by eating another warcraft in the field. You accumulate strength by taking in the flesh of your opponent in a world of weak and strong eating.

If it is simply enhanced by eating something strong, I do not feel that taking in a magical person will encourage growth at once.

I've looked for literature on warcraft, but I couldn't find any studies to support it in particular.

No Mad Scientist seemed to think about deliberately feeding a precious magical human being to the Warcraft, etc.

But I don't even think the situation where the Lord Ancestral Mystery Man was eaten all over coincidentally coincides with the birth of the mature Warcraft of Newnelly Field, said to be a centuries-old disaster.

Personally, I just want to experiment on a small field.

"No."

"No?"

Then my grandfather slowly denied it and looked at me.

"Even if we had the means to make mature warcraft, as Wilk and Luke put it. The very fact that a person tries to create a warcraft is incredible. Nobility and priesthood, it is our duty and pride to protect the land of the people's life from the beasts of warcraft, to the extent that it is in a different position…"

The Holy High Council has a presence called the High Priest. The High Priest is a man to whom all of it belongs to the Lord's ancestors.

The High Priest spreads the teachings of Zeth, while governing the area under his charge. That is why, like the nobility, there is a basis for the rule that "protects the land where the people and wheat grow from warcraft".

There is no way that the Holy High Council, which would understand those values, could imitate the release of the Warcraft, I guess that's what my grandfather thinks.

A suicide bomber that pollutes the earth seems to be an incomprehensible act for those living on the Elo continent. From what I remember living in Japan in my last life, I can't empathize, but I can understand.

Either way, the truth will be revealed sooner or later, as we were able to secure four executioners, even though they were on the verge of starving to death.

You must have been subjected to plenty of torture in the name of interrogation at a military base in Newnelly City by now.

"My father was worried whether or not to publish it as a broken mouth due to torture. As a Levios royal, it will be in good shape for the great name, and it could inspire the start of a war of sanctions against St. Navenpos"

The Royal Levios wants to make an invasion of St. Navenpos, so if this case comes to light, he's likely to organize a Royal Army with a small leap forward.

If the Allied Coalition Army of all the kingdoms and the Royal Army of Levios and St. Navenpos were to start a war, my grandfather's plan for an imperial invasion would also be grandfather.

My grandfather distorts his face uncomfortably.

"Hmm. You just have to do that on your own at the Levios house. It has nothing to do with the Qualdenze family. If you have to, just ignore it."

It would not mean that the Qualdenze family, which was actually terrorized, had nothing to do with it.

Assuming we're going to attack, I don't think we'll be dressed until the Qualdenze family, the victim, joins the fight.

"Ignore the royal family?

"That's right. The Levios, who did well with the Mirendorva, are not afraid enough."

Until a few years ago, the Royal Levios family was in a state of civil unrest with the domestic aristocracy Mirendorva family.

As a result of the battle, which lasted for decades with repeated truces and truces, the title of the Kingdom of Levios was increased by one to a total of six. The increased title was above the Duke, so I translate it as Grand Duke.

The increased title was awarded to the Duke of Mirendorva, who became the Grand Duke of Mirendorva. Although kingdom division was avoided, it is essentially a royal loss.

It's a massive socialization rumored to open in Wang capital next spring, but this is said to have the aim of appealing to the nation and abroad that this civil unrest has rallied.

"... well, my father didn't seem interested in invading the Sacred Capital, and he would do something about it"

"Uhm. What, Luxe would be able to round them up well, like the Kingsville guys"

Although the Kingdom of Levios had named the nation, independent autonomy was guaranteed for the aristocracy that constituted it.

Although some acts are prohibited by law, starting with a ban on war between kingdom nobles, it is basically a state of non-interference in internal affairs.

This has a lot to do with historical history.

The Kingdom of Levios is a nation made up of noble independence from the Holy High Council. This is why we have a tradition of valuing the autonomy of the aristocracy.

For this reason, if you do poorly, you may be removed from the kingdom, but every aristocrat has the right to veto orders from the state.

In that regard, the point of the gathering state of the people is common, but the concept of autonomy is thinner in the Jinker En Empire than in the Kingdom of Levios.

If the emperor declares that "we are going to declare war unanimously against the Qualdenze family attacking the Imperial nobility", the Imperial nobility will have to join the war for all.

It should be noted that the current emperor has not issued an order of engagement against the Qualdenze family...... no, I cannot.

This is part of the Kuordenze family's work behind it, but the lack of power on the part of the current emperor is the biggest reason.

If you badly issue a belligerent order, it is very likely that the aristocrats who rebel against it will consign and the empire will break into two parts, east and west.

Therefore, the present emperor cannot give orders.

The appearance of the Jinker En Empire, which was aiming for centralization and for a time had shown so much momentum that it could overtake the Kingdom of Levios, is already a thing of the past.

It is not possible to integrate the aristocracy properly, and it is not strange whenever it disintegrates.

The Royal Levios, who is losing his temper, and the Jinker En Empire, whose brooms have become dewy.

Somehow, I felt that an era of unrest was approaching.
