I arrived in the room the Knights were renting.

I heard it was a room, but it actually seems to be using a whole bunch of two-story detachments on the castle grounds.

According to the captain's story, it seems that the Knights of the Royal Palace are the place always used when expediting.

The ground floor away seemed to be a waiting area for the knights, and it was a hall as soon as they entered the entrance.

A long desk and chair are placed in the hall, and you can see the knights discussing something while looking at the map.

Everyone looked familiar, and when they noticed that the captain and I had come in, they gently raised their hands and greeted me.

About after the captain, pass the hall and go up the back stairs.

Upstairs was parted into several rooms.

They're using one of them as the chief's office.

Inside the office was a desk and a reception set, just like the Royal Palace mansion.

Encouraged, he sits opposite the head of the regiment on the reception set.

"Quick, but I want to get down to business"

"Yes."

After putting it forward, the captain began to talk about the current situation of the Knights and the findings.

I hear the knights are splitting up into several squads and working.

Each squad is scattered between East, West and North, and they're taking turns investigating the area around the Territorial Capital.

The faces I was on the ground floor earlier seemed to have just returned from the investigation.

At the same time as the surrounding investigation, the knights are also crusading the demons they encounter.

According to the report, you think it feels like there are as many demons around the previous King's Capital?

Once the investigation is over, the demon crusade will begin in earnest, but I wonder if it will take long to calm down.

The captain seems to have the same idea.

"It will take a little while for the problem to settle down. I'd like to return it to Wangdu as soon as possible..."

"I'll be fine. You can study herbs in the distillery."

"Right."

I told the sorry captain about the distillery and he gave me a relieved look.

Maybe he smiled afterwards because he remembered what he was talking about on the road.

Excuse me, I'm obsessed with potions.

That's where I came up with the fudge, so I tried to say it.

"If you ever encounter demons during an investigation, you use potions, right?

"Right."

"What will you do to refill the potion?

"I also brought it from Wang Du, but I plan to buy it in this city when I run out of it"

"If I may, shall I make it?

"Sai?

"Yes, of course you need to have ingredients ready, but I think it would be cheaper to buy herbs than potions."

"That's right, but if you're going to make potions, don't you need equipment?

"I'm thinking of checking with my lord if he can let me make it in the distillery"

"I see. Then I'll check for permission to use the distillery."

"Please"

Now that we're just still doing research, we're also consuming less potion.

But if a full-scale crusade begins, consumption will be steadily higher.

Given the size of the Knights on the same path this time, I don't think the number of potions that have to be replenished is small.

I don't know what recipes the potions sold in the city are made of.

If they are made according to normal recipes, the amount of herbs that are better used to make them in secret recipes can also be suppressed.

Though the region of the herb, there is also a shortage of herbs in this city, so I thought it would be better if I could save money by making them.

I told the captain, but even when you think about expenses, it seems better.

Speaking personally, there are times when you can practice secret recipes casually on the grounds of replenishing the Knights.

Though I have permission from Mr. Corinna, the number of potions I make in practice is high.

As a matter of fact, there are some parts I'm still making out of.

You were a little worried that it would overflow the potion just like the old lab did.

If you're going to follow the mercenary regiment and also wholesale it to the Knights, you'll be fine with making some more.

"I'll get back to it, but after the investigation, we're going to have a crusade, right?

"I plan on doing that."

"Do crusades take place jointly between the Knights and the Mercenaries?

I remember the mercenary regiment, so if I checked about the crusade, the look on the head of the regiment became subtle.

What's the matter with you?

If I checked, after a while of worrying, he told me, albeit with a bad tooth cut.

On the day of my arrival in Klausner territory, while I was resting in my room, I heard that the captains had spoken about the demonic situation in the land.

At that time, the captain said he had a face-to-face meeting with the mercenary regiments employed in the territory, but it didn't have a very good vibe.

Speaking of mercenary regiments defending Klausner territory, they are known for their tenacity and have rarely requested support from the Knights before.

However, only this time it was decided to accept the support of the Knights because of the impact on the main industries in the territory.

Though hired, as a mercenary regiment, I guess I was proud to have protected the land until now.

Even at the time of the face-to-face meeting, he said it was an atmosphere that he reluctantly accepted because the lord told him to.

Against that background, he said that even if he were to carry out a joint crusade, he planned to divide the areas in charge rather than mix personnel.

The person who met the leader with the lord is probably Mr. Leonhardt, right?

When we met in the distillery, he said he was packing up a mercenary regiment.

At that time, it wasn't like there was certainty with people from the Wang capital.

Maybe you don't know I'm from Wang Du?

Speaking of which, I feel like I only told you my name after all.

"What's up?

"Did Master Hawk see you, Mr. Leonhardt?

"Yeah, but you know what?

"I came to the distillery this morning to pick up the potion, and that's when I met you."

"Did they say anything?

"No, nothing"

Mr. Leonhardt thinks of me as Mr. Corinna's apprentice, so there's nothing for the captain to worry about.

I don't know when I can come from Wang Du with the Knights in the future.

But I'm not too worried.

Based on the mercenary regiment people today, I think they're originally good people.

Even if there was a pan at first, I think I can crack it down.

Is that a little too optimistic for you to think about?

"I think it's okay about Mr. Leonhardt. More than that, it's a crusade."

"Oh. I'm still planning on continuing my investigation tomorrow. I'll be in touch when the crusade is scheduled."

"Okay."

Is it not my turn yet?

Then let me study in the distillery a little bit now.

Yeah, well, you should also tell Mr. Corinna that you might wholesale potions to the Knights, right?

I assembled my future plans in my brain and finished talking to the captain, so I decided to go back to my room.
