Since the discovery of the first black swamp, there have been successive reports of discoveries everywhere.

The same black swamps were found in caves and caves everywhere.

I'm not saying there's a hundred when I find one, but it's true they found it to keep going.

It may be the result of being able to deal with places where my hands have not been turned before.

The black marshes found varied in size, but they went to all places regardless of size to purify them.

I was a little tired of going on a national tour again, but I managed to cope with it.

It was not long before the reward for continuing to come was gone and I was relieved to exhale. Now, a request for the Knights to be dispatched arrived at the royal palace.

Having heard the details of the request, His Majesty the King immediately decided to dispatch the [Virgin].

It was the Hawk family who sent the Knights to the Royal Palace, the leader's parents' home.

The Hawk family's territory lies on the far north side of King's Landing, along the border, as the title Earl of the Frontier suggests.

The streets leading to other countries sometimes run through the territory, and it was one of the key points in Japan.

We also need to be alert to invasions from other countries, and Hawk territory has more soldiers than any other territory.

The breakdown of soldiers is the Royal Army that guards the border and the Hawk family's private soldiers and mercenary regiments that defend the territory.

Not only do these soldiers take on people, but they also naturally crush monsters that descend into the areas they protect.

There are only more soldiers than in any other territory, and we have dealt with them in this time of year without the help of the Knights.

Normally, it is not a house that relies on the royal palace.

His Majesty also seemed to have taken matters seriously with requests from such houses to rule important lands.

The royal palace was moving fast, and a week after receiving the Hawk family's request, it was decided to leave King's Landing with the Knights.

I was in a hurry, and never stayed in the Lord's Residences for as long as I did in Klausner.

Still, at the edge of the country, the journey to Hawk territory took longer than when we went to Klausner territory.

Mm-hmm.

As he got off the carriage, he raised his hands above his head and reached out.

Since you've been in the same position for a long time, there's a pachipoki sound coming from all over your consolidated body.

I'm a little tired of the boulders.

"Yes. When this break was over, was it a straight line to the capital?"

That's right.

The commander of the division who got off the carriage with him also stretched out with his hand against his hips.

Even the division chief, who is accustomed to expeditions, seems tired of traveling to the edge of the country.

"Sei, you must be tired. Get some rest."

"I'm sorry, thank you."

Turning to the voice, the commander pointed behind him.

While thanking him, he went to the person he was told.

Looking back, a white cloth instead of a picnic sheet was laid on the ground and a snack plate was placed on it.

Floor tables are also available around the cloth.

It appears that the servants and maids accompanying the Knights prepared it for us shortly before we got off the carriage.

When they sat on the floor table, the maid handed them a mug containing tea.

When I thanked the maid and received it, I felt a warm touch in my palm.

Hawk territory seems to have a lower temperature than King's Landing, and I felt a little chilly, so I appreciate the warmth conveyed.

Take a sip of tea and exhale.

If you look far away, you can see the top of Mt. Iwayama, which is white and makeup with snow.

That mountain, which looks very similar to the mountains of the Japanese Alps, seems to be quite elevated.

It's warming up.

That's right.

Similarly, the division chief, who was warming himself with tea, opened his mouth slightly with a dusty look.

She nodded back and sipped another sip of tea.

"The altitude around here is a little high."

Was it a mountainous area?

"Yes, you know it well."

"I checked a little before I came.Preliminary investigation is important. "

The majority of Hawk territory is mountainous and temperatures are lower than the King's Capital throughout the year.

There is also the second-largest lake in the Kingdom of Slantania.

There are also famous sightseeing spots on the shore of the lake.

I learned about this area in a lecture given at the royal palace.

By learning in the same way, when it comes to important information in the crusade, is it the strength of the monster?

The monsters that come out of this country have the characteristic that they become stronger as they leave the King's City.

Therefore, it seems that the Hawk Territory, a territory along the border, is home to some of the strongest ranked monsters in the Kingdom.

That's why the Third Knights came out of this crusade.

The Third Knight is the most familiar Knights of the Royal Palace in the crusade against monsters.

In addition, I joined the division chief from the Imperial Magic Division.

It's not because the division chief squeezed the waste like a hoax.

I was to accompany you under orders from His Majesty.

There are members who are said to be overfired, and we can see how difficult this crusade is.

Well, it's time to go.

"I understand."

When I finished drinking tea, the commander called out to me at the end of the break.

With that as a sign, the people around started to evacuate.

I traveled by carriage again and arrived at my destination about two hours later.

Like the Klausner domain, the Hawk domain capital was surrounded by walls.

It seemed to be drawing water from the river, and there were also moats around the castle walls that were filled with water.

In addition, Klausner's territorial capital was on the hill, whereas this is on the flat land.

Looking in the direction of travel, the collar capital was attached to the left side of the street, and the castle was seen on the far left.

Castles and buildings all over the city are dark blue with a calm atmosphere.

I noticed it all over the city, but it seemed flat at first glance and there was a slight difference in height and height across the city.

Among them, the castle was at the highest point, slightly uphill from the front.

The castle, which I thought was a single building, consisted of several buildings.

Buildings on the third or fourth floor are contiguous, and they seem to serve as walls.

According to the leader, the Lord's family lives in one of these buildings.

The carriage stopped in the courtyard just past the castle gate.

As I heard beforehand, many people, including the lord, were waiting in front of a building with a large entrance.

I wonder if this is the Lord's Mansion.

I was waiting for a grand man like a lord, a lady like him, and servants.

In the middle of the front row, the lords and wife lined up behind them with servants.

Is the noble home the same everywhere?

I've seen it so many times.

When I got off the carriage and raised my face in the escort of the commander, I met a man who looked like a lord.

Soon the man smiled calmly.

The man opened his mouth as he walked along while being guided and stopped just in the right place.

"Welcome all the way.It's my first time seeing you, and I am Lord Helmut Hawk. "

This is my wife Claudia.

Hello, I'm Sei Takanashi.

Just as I imagined.

It was Uncle and Mrs. Hawk, who was also the leader's parents, who greeted him.

The lord had blonde hair, blue-grey eyes and the same color as the commander.

His hair is darker than that of the commander, so it resembles his eldest son, the Minister of Military Affairs.

The lord's wife is gentle with silver hair and rattan eyes that gently wave.

The Lord's wife's hair may not be exactly silver, as it also looks light and light blue.

From this, it is clear that all three brothers resemble their parents somewhere.

I wonder if the Minister of Military Affairs is completely similar to the lord, the color of his face and eyes is similar to that of the lord, the color of his hair is similar to that of his wife, and the head of the regiment is similar to that of the lord and his face is similar to that of his wife.

Don't forget to respond while thinking about that.

In response to the lord and wife's greetings, I picked up the robe that I was wearing and caressed.

Subsequently, the commander and division commander, who led the crusade team, delivered greetings.

Whether it was a work mode or a parent-child, the commander's greeting was hard.

But that's just the beginning.

When the greeted uncle called out, "Welcome home," the commander smiled a little and whispered, "I'm home."

"You must be tired from your long journey.I will guide you to your room, so please relax there until dinner. "

"Thank you."

The lords and wife showed me to the room as soon as they finished their greetings, without stretching out the story.

Looks like you've been worried about our condition.

Though I came in between breaks, I was grateful for your care.

Even if you can magically heal body pain and fatigue caused by staying in the same position for a long time.

So I was led by the Marquis, and the rest of them were led by the butlers to their rooms.
