The Old Knight of a Frontier District

1

The story of Maura gave Baldo a lot of suggestions.

Among them, the story remained strong in Baldo's mind that the spirits eaten by humans had been properly resurrected in the beginning.

Maura once said that the spirits bitten by humans become demons.

A demon in this case would be a crazy spirit that gives birth to a warcraft.

Being twisted by humans would mean spirits taken in by humans, or spirits that have become spirit-possessed.

From there, Bardo thought that once he had become a spirit-possessed, the Spirit would always go mad when he was resurrected.

Zaria also said that the Spirit who became one with man will lose his memory until then and will be resurrected as a mad Spirit with no wisdom, no heart, no kindness.

So Bardo thought that spirits taken in by humans would go crazy immediately, without exception.

But suppose that the Spirit who became one with man was also resurrected in the beginning as a normal Spirit.

Everything seems different.

There's something out there that's not what I thought it would be.

Something happened.

Something that drives the Spirit crazy.

Does something of it still have to do with the fact that humans took in spirits?

There must be.

Because the Spirit did not go mad until man descended into the land.

Something happened.

After remembering that the humans who came down to this land would take in the spirits.

Something happened that would drive the spirits crazy.

Is that after the battle between King Jean and the captain is over?

Or was it before that?

What the hell, when, what happened?

After finishing his story with Maura, Bardo joined the line, guided by Maura's father, and left the Misty Valley.

From there we headed straight west.

We are on our way southwest, but that way we will pass near the village of Shesa.

He hated it and took a detour to the west.

"Uncle Royal.

If you turn just a little north of here, isn't it by the waterfall of examples?

Let's camp out there tonight. "

On the fourth day, Gordon Zarkos said so.

Bardo nodded because there was no reason to disagree.

And we reached by the waterfall.

I came here seven years ago before this.

Bardo and Gordon and Cars and Jurchaga and Doria Tessa.

It was autumn then, but it's spring now.

The colours of the trees and grass are different, but the quiet and rich scenery may be said to be the same as then.

One line began preparing the camp.

"This is where Doria Tessa was trained by Cars."

That's what Taranca said as she collected the guinea pigs.

Bardo replied yes and then wondered why he knew.

Quinta is also asking Gordon questions.

"Dear Gordon.

Where is the Rock Shelf where Master Cars took the knight's vow, guided by Master Bardo? "

"Hmm?

Ooh!

Is that it?

That one, look.

There's a rock shelf sticking out there.

In that one downside place.

Come on.

There you go.

Here, here.

Turn around, Cars kneels down, and my uncle takes the lead around here. "

"Really?

Thank you. "

"Hey, hey.

What are you talking about, Doria Tessa's training, Cars' vows? "

"It's a little hard to talk about"

"Later, later"

Taranka and Quinta answered Carla's question with a different tone.

The preparations for the camp were investigated and the meal began.

When the meal came to a paragraph, Carla asked the question again.

Tell me what you just said.

"Oh, yeah."

Taranca and Quinta exchanged glances, but Taranca was to explain.

"Well, let's talk a little long.

Do you know that Master Bardo is from Pakula, on the eastern border of the continent, far south of here?

Eight years ago now, Master Bardo was retired and embarked on a journey.

Just then, an angel was visiting from the king's capital of Parzam. "

Talanka told the story.

That Bardo worked with Jurchaga to uncover the Coendella family conspiracy and back it up.

That he then met Gordon and also joined Jurchaga for a trip to the border.

Numerous activities on that journey.

Meet Doria Tessa.

Cars' knight vows.

A long story and Taranka said, but it was a truly well organized and terminal story that didn't take much time to finish telling.

"Thus Master Doriatesa returned home with Master Jurchaga, qualified to compete in the Border Race Martial Association.

Ladies and gentlemen Bardo continue their amazing adventures, and in April of the following year you will be joined at Rhode Van Castle.

At the Border Race Martial Arts Association, Doria Tessa is given the feat of winning in the General Division.

He said it was something that never happened before, such as a player in the fine sword division suppressing a heavily equipped knight to win an overall victory.

I actually have a backstory about that, too.

Well, let's get this over with. "

Speaking of which, Kara was opening her mouth gently and listening with her eyes open.

It's familiar.

Originally Carla kept her distance from Taranca and Quinta, and Taranca and Quinta looked at Carla with suspicious eyes.

In fact, Kara has something to hide.

I added Carla to this line in the first place because I thought I'd keep an eye out.

However, the way Taranka and Quinta were treated changed after seeing Kara at Agis.

Looking at Kara treating Tempel-Aid and villagers, Bardo's view also changed.

I started to think that this stomach wasn't a bad person.

With the flexibility worthy of his youth of eighteen, Kara increased her intimacy with the line.

The way we are listening to each other may also be said to have been completely solved.

Nevertheless.

Nevertheless, how does Taranca know so much about Bardo's journey?

"No, no.

Surprised.

Brilliant.

How dare you talk about your uncle?

Who the hell asked you that? "

"Dear Gordon.

Actually, I have two books.

One book is brought to you by Dear Doriatessa, but it is called The Old Knight Adventure Tan on the Border.

This, he said, is based on what Master Julchaga told in front of the Imperial Palace Square of Goriola, written down by the bard.

One Earl of the Goriola Empire made that a book, didn't he?

Lady Arflaburn brought a souvenir to Lady Doriatesa before this.

Me and Quinta showed it to you.

Another book is called Sir Bard Lowen's Transmission of Excellence.

This is a book written in the Kingdom of Parzam.

The first half, at the Castle of Rhodvan in the fold of the Border Competition Martial Association, was written down by the minister of one of the aristocracies of the Kingdom of Parzam what was spoken by the Doriatesa and the Jurchaga and the Knight Lord Maitalp, and the second half is the verbal and behavioral record of the Bardo, seen and heard by that nobleman himself.

I have read that the priest Kuri is kept in secret. "

How dare you?

There are two kinds of Baldo biography.

However, what Jurchaga said should have been quite foot-colored.

But what Talanka said may be said to be true.

In other words, Talanka has an eye that correctly discerns the nature of things and the ability to describe them in objective terms.

"It is.

But what?

What a hero Tan.

I can't believe this story is real.

So, what's next?

"Huh?

Continued "

"That's right.

First, talk about the back story.

What happened at the border martial arts club?

In the end, Taranca told the story of Bardo from next to next.

The story of Cars, Doria Tessa, at the Border Race.

And Baldo Lowen sings "The Pilgrimage Knight" and tells the story of the knights in line.

Carla was still unsatisfied and wanted to hear the rest of the story about what happened next, and then what happened.

Talanka said in response to a request.

Baldo's work since he was entrusted to the Central Army of the Kingdom of Parzam.

Rescue Fort Corpos.

Have a folk salvation journey with Chantillion.

And lead the Joint Troop of the Three Kingdoms in an awesome defensive battle at Rhode Van Castle.

Well, Bardo thought.

I knew it was Chantillion's idea to have a book made of Parzam, so I know it says about Fort Corpos and the journey that follows.

But how do you know about the Great Warcraft Invasion into Rhode Van Castle?

Thinking about it, I immediately realized.

Nuts.

It's Nuts Kajnell.

Nutz Kajnell, Bardo's deputy at Rhodvan Castle, is the knight of the Argolide family that Chantillion lent him.

Returning to the Argolide family, Nuts must have reported the upside of events to Chantillion.

I can't believe you lent me nuts for that.

No.

Maybe it was?

Talking about Talanka continues.

Sinkai army invasion of the Middle Plains.

How Baldo, entrusted to Wazid Entrante, defeated this.

Have a brilliant end to Knight Goes Bore.

He disappeared at the invitation of the Queen of Manouno just before he was invited by the King to enter Goriola, and then only five Quintas helped him.

Founding and development of fusarions.

Re-invasion of the Sinkai army.

A showdown against the General of Appetite, led by twenty brave men gathered at Roadvan Castle.

Carla, who keeps asking, has no voice at all.

But I'm terribly drawn to the content of the story.

When the story reached the Queen of Manouno, Bardo did not miss the presence of a demonic light in his eyes.

When Talanka finished the conversation, Gordon, who had been nagging for a while earlier, pinched his mouth.

And I told him.

Tell me about your journey when you and Bardo were alone.

What village did you go to and what adventures did you have?

Talk about the hatred of three brothers and sisters.

Disturbance in Moon Fish Sawa.

Meet Jameen's brave men.

The evil merchant conspiracy in Krask.

What happened at Sir Enzaia's castle.

Meet Doria Tessa.

Confront the Gerkasts who attacked Rhode Van Castle.

Meet Engdall.

The backdrop to the Maisian rebellion.

with heat, Gordon said.

Talanka's, and Bardo was in strange comfort as he listened to Gordon's story.

Before, I couldn't wait to be told this story in front of you.

But now, not so much.

Not so much, but rather preferred.

I thought, why not?

And I found out.

In my own mind.

Baldo's life expectancy isn't that long anyway.

I'm old enough to die one of these days.

No matter what they say about me, it doesn't hurt or itch.

But.

But it is.

Telling the story of Bardo also means telling the story of the people with whom he and his adventures took place.

The nobility of Zaifert.

Have a look at Goes Bore.

The struggle of Maitarp Yagan.

It means telling the story of the battle and vivid life of the brilliant knights.

And also the will of the three brothers and sisters.

Bigoted leather armorer moves.

The swordsman Zendatta lives.

It means talking about the memories of people who lived and sparkled in Shirai.

Such stories are told and heard by the younger generations.

That's a good thing, Bardo thought.

If they were to be told without being lost from people's memories, that would be a very good thing, I thought.

And also, Bardo thought.

I was wondering if we should also tell these young people about the meaning and purpose of this journey.

Until now, we haven't talked about the reasons for the trip.

Because he did not want to carry unnecessary burdens.

Sometimes it was difficult for other humans to understand the problems they were pursuing.

But no matter how hard it is to understand and be interested, that's all if you don't talk about it.

If we talk about it, they can take what we're about to meet.

I can take, judge, and taste.

I thought the possibility should be given.

So Bardo said, after Gordon had finished speaking.

The truth about the Spirit and the Warcraft.

that humans are not indigenous to this continent.

King Jean's wish.

History of the Devil's Sword.

About someone who was behind General Appetite.

About the gift from the Queen of Manuno.

About someone who manipulated Manuno and forced him to invade a large group of warcraft.

About the dragon men in hiding.

That we have embarked on this journey to uncover those truths and to fight enemies we have yet to see.

And again, Bardo said.

The birth of Cars Lowen and the annihilation of the kingdom of the werewolf king.

This is not for you to tell the story.

It's just that Cars is still going to live for a long time, so I figured it would be a good idea for some people to know the secret.

Plus, I'm going to Krask.

Better tell us what's going on before then.

I started talking and saw Cars better, but Cars didn't even hate him.

I was just listening quietly.

Taranka, Quinta, and Kara listened to Bardo as he ate in.

Gordon Zarkos also closed his eyes and listened quietly.

In the end, Bardo's story got the longest.

By the time I had finished talking, the night was already dawn.

One line decided to take a day off by this waterfall.

When I woke up at noon, Carla was sitting on a rock shelf with her knees tucked in.

Concerned about the soggy appearance, Bardo approached him and called out, asking what was wrong.

"Because.

Because if you ask me that.

If they make me listen.

Something I've been trying to do is too tiny.

Too tiny, crazy.

I don't know what I'm doing. "

Bardo stared at the water spiral in the waterfall pot for a while and then said:

There is a distinction between big things and small things.

But only the big ones are honorable, and the small ones are boring, not that.

Everyone is honored.

Besides.

Humans who do big things are polite about little things one by one.

That pile produces something big.

Kara looked like she was still bluffing Bardo's words.

Baldo was Baldo, and he found himself in my heart with wonder.

Why is my heart so fragrant, calm, and filled?

That was a strange thing.

Bardo's heart was at ease and flooded with quiet power, much longer than he remembered.

I thought about it for a while, and I got an answer.

That's because I told the young people the secrets I had on my own.

Baldo has two feelings right now.

One is, why did the warcrafting of the Spirit happen?

The other is about being called the king of evil spirits and the dragon man who is in service to it.

I don't know if these two things are related to each other.

I don't know, but being involved with each other seems like a big deal.

But what do you do when you know it?

Is there any way this one old man can solve that if he could discover the problem that caused the warcrafting?

Maura, who became "the one who roots in the earth," asked Bardo to solve the mystery of warcrafting and help the spirits.

But could such an old man have done such a great thing?

I can also tell from the faintly known fragments that the presence of the King of the Evil Spirit is too mighty an enemy.

He's such a huge opponent that it's probably hard to destroy even by citing the total power of a great power.

Do you want to challenge the big enemy without stopping, empty-handed?

Even though it possesses Chantra Meguierion, the power of this sword did not even pass to the General of Appetite.

Aren't we going to fight at all?

So Bardo's heart was heavy.

There was nothing left to do with the problem of the Spirit, the problem of the Evil Spirit King, and the desperate mission of just having two things to solve and defeat by yourself.

But Bardo told the young people about it.

liberated by speaking.

That does not mean that we shared responsibility for our mission with the young people.

It's not a matter of nature to be able to share with someone originally.

Instead, I stomped by saying I should fight my battle as myself.

Problems that cannot be solved need not be solved.

For those who can't fight and win, you just have to not win.

Just pale, know what you need to know, and fight the battles you need to fight.

If you have the strength, you can fall and die.

But there are those who know that Bardo Lowen went to such a battle.

After them will also be those who will face the same problems.

Hopefully that one day the problem of warcrafting will be solved and the threat of the evil spirit king will be eliminated.

I have no idea what kind of road that would take, Bardo today.

Just look forward to the future, until I fight my battle.

That's right.

Bardo held hands with the future by revealing secrets to the young people.

2.

The next day, when he was traveling from the waterfall, Bardo told Cars, we were going to Krask.

Cars nodded quietly and small.

The line went west and once in Beaubard.

For the remainder of the salt and liquor had become scarce.

Then I went south.

Majuez territory took a detour.

rather than proceeded close to a people's settlement.

One line arrived in Krask in mid-May.

A month and a half had passed since I left Fusarion.
