Trinitas Mundus

Lesson 51: Baron Gladstone

After an interview with Hamish and the others, Ray headed to Ashley's room.

And tell him that Duke Selzam, the guild leader, told him he would not approve of joining him as a prostitute.

"Oh, no... Duke, why is my little father... then we can't head to the battlefield"

Ashley stuffs Ray with a regrettable face, but he quietly explains what he comes up with.

"Do you remember Ash? When I left the city of Morton, Baron Atley gave me a letter of introduction to the vice president of the Knights of the Springs."

She nods at his question, but I don't see why we're talking about it now.

"I remember, but I can't join the Knights right now. Or dive into the Third Battalion."

"Oh, I know. We are mercenaries and adventurers. So..."

He explains his thoughts.

As I heard the explanation, the color of hope began to float in Ashley's face, and at the end of the day, she was smiling and embracing him.

"Now you can follow me with dignity. Now I can stand on the battlefield with my fathers. Ray, you are still my prospective man... Ray..."

Despair had turned into hope, and at the end of the day it had been a tear.

"I haven't been successful yet. Is it okay if I go now? Pretty late, though."

The time had already passed six in the afternoon and it was starting to get dark around. That's why he cared about it.

Did she calm down a little or return to a decent look,

"I don't know, I just have to go. If it's an important part of the state, you'll manage to meet me."

The two quickly prepared themselves and headed to the Knights of the Springs headquarters in Royal Castle.

At first, the guard of the main entrance to the royal castle had no appointment to see him, and by coming at such times, he did not allow passage. The Rays show a letter of introduction from Baron Atley and desperately complain that it is an urgent matter.

"It's a very important matter for the stability of the kingdom. Be sure to send a message to His Excellency Gladstone. If you look at this reference, you'll see me. Please!

The guard breaks to its desperation and contacts the Knights headquarters.

After a while, the vice president informed me that he would allow the meeting.

(Good. First gate breach for now. It's harder after this, but I just have to work on it)

Following a squire from Knights headquarters, the two headed to headquarters.

Baron Seaver Gladstone, vice president of the Knights of the Springs, had his head troubled by the election of a vice captain for the Third Battalion.

(As a replacement for the current deputy captain, I just have to hit the veteran deputy captain. Speaking of those who can restrain that grown Kilgar Roho, about Leland? However, it is hard to see a shift from the deputy captain of the first battalion, who reports to the third battalion, to the left. Besides, this assignment will not be evaluated for the many difficulties. Worst case scenario, the eyes of the big captain promotion could be crushed too. How to persuade......)

I can tell him that he had a sudden offer of an interview from the main gate that was bothering his head.

To his question as to who he was, a young mercenary man and woman, carrying a letter of reference from Baron Bruno Atley, lord of Morton, is given a deposited letter of reference.

(Is it a letter of introduction from Bruno? One is Ashley, Lord Markat's son, and the other is Ray Arklight... Ray Arklight, recently, I think I've heard... oh, the young man Lord Victor was talking about. That Hamish Markat wants to be his successor... I don't know what you're talking about, but I'll talk to him about mood swings)

He orders the two of them to go through here, and realizes that there are other sounds familiar in the name of Arklight.

(Indeed, the name of the man whose magician's tower is firmly soliciting should have been Arklight. At times it is possible to have the same person, but there is no way to make a magician the commander of a mercenary regiment......)

With that in mind, two young men came through under him.

"Lord Gladstone, my name is Ashley Markat, daughter of Hamish Markat"

Ashley, who had been in and out of the Knights since childhood, also seemed to have no familiarity with Gladstone and was a little nervous.

Gladstone was impressed to see what it looked like.

(You're young, but that's Lord Markat's daughter. There is already a style of warfare)

"My name is Ray Arklight"

Gladstone was uncomfortable with the young man speaking in nature.

(You think this young man is Lord Markat's successor candidate? Speaking of which, Master Victor said that too. at first he said he was surprised)

"It's Seaver Gladstone. Well, hang up."

He recommends the chair and lowers his hips himself.

"Shall I ask you something? I heard it was an important matter for the kingdom."

Ray was under a different impression from the knights he had ever met by the Deputy Commander who spoke quietly.

(I'm not that tall, nor do I feel muscular and mucky. You don't look like a knight. Somewhat of an official, it also feels like someone who is said to be able to cut it)

"I heard from Captain Markat that there is a possibility of an invasion by the Demons. A battalion is scheduled to be dispatched from the Knights, and the Mercenary Alliance will recruit prostitutes."

"You're right," Gladstone nods.

"If this invasion was massive, we could be invaded to the worst of Bridgendo. Captain Markat is worried about this situation and is probably willing to die. The evidence made it clear that I would not take my daughter, Ashley Markat."

Ray takes a look at Gladstone, but says nothing.

"If Hamish Markat died in battle in this battle, what would it be like if“ Red-Armed Hamish, "who was also complaining so much about the demonic crisis, died?

Gladstone took it as a general story, without thinking particularly deeply.

"Mm-hmm. If Lord Markut, popular with the citizens of Fonce, dies, the people will be saddened, won't they? But how does that engage the kingdom?

"I heard that this battle power was determined by His Majesty's life. And Captain Markat said he lacked enough to gather the prostitutes. In that case, the citizens must think that there was an error in His Majesty's judgment, and that it was an error in His Majesty's judgment that drove the hero to death. Perhaps the popular support is not so necessary for His Majesty. But I still have a reputation for gently estimating the demonic threat and trying to get the edge of the Kilgaroho family, headed by the Four Dukes, to put a handle on it. This doesn't seem like a good thing for the kingdom."

(Well, I see what Lord Victor meant. You're absolutely right. His Majesty is about to cut the power of the Kilgaroho family on this occasion. But one mistake would result in the loss of the support of the people, the source of royal power, and the shredding of their own power. Lord Markat's readiness to die cannot be a lie. He would try to defend himself even at the expense of himself)

"I understand the purpose. But I can't do anything about it now. Even if I raise it with His Majesty, perhaps this decision will change."

You expected Gladstone's words, Ray nods.

"Yes, I understand that too. Because there are more reasons to change than His Majesty has ordered in the form of" death. "

(Don't let the youthful-looking fool you)

Gladstone changed his attitude towards Ray from being a young man to a reciprocal opponent to be coached.

"So what do we do? Don't you have some kind of abdominal proposal?

"Yes, we will protect Captain Markat."

Gladstone looks surprised at the unexpected answer.

"What if? Even a man as strong as Lord Markat," Tsuwa-san, "can you do something to prepare him for death, if he is young?

"Yes. I can use a little magic. Even in the battle with earlier augs, we have buried more than half of the sixteen augs. To Elmer Annekis of the Mage's Tower, as you can tell by listening, my magic is a little special. And more powerful magic can be used by court magicians."

(Is there still not enough experience? It only appears in the hero Tan of the Mythical Age, such as changing the war situation by himself. Are you proud of your own power?

"I know the rumors that the Sorcerer's Tower is trying to solicit you. Surely powerful magic can be used. I don't doubt that. But the battlefield isn't so sweet as what happens with the power of one magician. How are you going to help that Lord Markut?

"I think about that on the battlefield. Let me sleep magically. But no, I can connect you later as a slasher. I can do that."

Gladstone also loosens his expression to his serious, and desperate look.

(So you're not just a big head guy? If you're sure you're so ready, maybe you can do something about it. If you can manage with my help, you can break a bone. Bruno, you introduced me to an interesting man...)

"I heard you were ready. Are you sure that asking me to do you a favor means joining the brave army?

Ray is amazed at Gladstone's insight.

(Earlier, if you don't take Ash, Mr. Hamish said he made it clear, but that's all, you know what the demands are on you...)

"Exactly. With regard to this participation in the brave army, Captain Markat and Guild Commander Selzam have forbidden me to participate."

Gladstone nods loudly and looks to Ray.

"I see. So does this one have a stomach proposal, too?

"There is. Me, Ashley Markat, and, I'm not here, I'd like you to hire an animal named Stella as an" adventurer, "as the Knights of the Springs. And I don't know how to call it with the Knights Commander or Command, but I want you to stay out of command of the Third Battalion."

"As an adventurer? I see. It's possible with command, but if you don't come under the command of the Third Battalion, you won't be protected on the battlefield. That's all right."

Ray nods hard, "I don't mind," then looks a little hard to say.

"It's hard to say, if you put us under the command of the Third Battalion, we'll be dumped as pawns by that battalion leader. In that case, we will not be able to achieve the objective of saying that we will protect the Head of the Regiment. On the contrary, between the Knights and the Proselytizing Army, you might even get a crack in it."

"Okay. But there is a reason to attach it to the command. I guess you're thinking about that, too, huh?

Gladstone listens with a smiling look, as if Ray was looking forward to what he would say next.

Ray, who came on board, also nods loudly, "Yes," explaining in a slightly lighter tone.

"I'm sorry to say this, but knights aren't very good at reconnaissance and jamming in the deep woods. In thinking about future strategies," As a command, we need to get information from a different perspective than a knight. So why not hire an adventurer "

"Mm-hmm. It makes sense. So I'm sending you to study how to fight the Demons in the future."

"Yes. Ashley Markat is from a mercenary's perspective. I, Ray Arklight, confirm from a mage's point of view. Stella is good on reconnaissance missions, so I'll accompany her for our assistance."

Gladstone gently meditates his eyes as if to put his thoughts together.

(I don't know how powerful these people are, but at least it makes sense for this young man named Arklight to see the battle against the Demons and report it to us. Besides, it might be more convenient to have that little Kilgaroho breath. Better hurry up and meet Leland and these guys. We have to report to His Excellency the Duke tomorrow...)

"Let's be good. Ask the Adventurer Alliance to nominate you."

Ray, horrified that the negotiations went well, was holding him back from nearly exhaling.

(It worked. Now I can follow you without Mr. Hamish kicking you back)

Ashley just watched Ray negotiate sideways, and she was impudent that she couldn't do anything.

(Even though it's about your father, I left everything to Ray. But now we can stand on the battlefield. We'll figure out how to make use of this position later)

Gladstone has confirmed about the reward when the two of them are thinking about it.

"How good is the reward"

Ray panics a little to a question he didn't envisage,

"I don't want a reward. If necessary for the request, it can be one C (clona) per day."

"Hahaha, my knights are not so stingy" Kechi "! I've never made such a request, but it's a job that put the fate of the kingdom at stake. Pay commensurate with it. You are not knights. I think you deserve a fair reward."

The two bow their heads and say, "I'll take care of it".

(I thought you were a stiff person, but you're a surprisingly bright person. I heard Baron Atley was distant when he was told he was going to be made up. Even if I just have a relationship with that person, maybe he's changed)

"Tomorrow morning, again, I wonder if you'll come. I would like to draw you to His Excellency the Duke of Braveburn. Your Excellency is also concerned about this one. I want you to tell me what you just said in front of your Excellency."

Ray was surprised by the words, "Eh! to the Duke that I am".

"Lord Markat and His Excellency are comrades of war. You don't need to get hard."

The two followed the Knights headquarters without their heads attached to an unexpected development.
