Chapter 153 – Müller Row
The view of the city from the top of the hill near Aslan was beautiful.
In fact, when I looked at the buildings built around here, it seemed like I was looking at an antique piece of art.
“Actually, in order to build a building around here, they say you need permission from the lord.”
“Yes?”
After all, the number of buildings itself seems to be considerable.
In fact, is it not enough to say that it is a place where the high-ranking officials of the territory stay?
“They said it was legally blocked. Designs using specific colors are prohibited, the height is limited, and the landscape must not be covered…”
He nodded at Chloe’s words.
Actually, it doesn’t really matter.
End of the hill.
I cleared the wall blocking my approach and walked to the end, looking down at the scenery of Aslan at a glance.
Huge city.
And a mighty river.
Ordinary people can’t even see the other side. I also boast a great distance to the extent that I can only see it by concentrating my magic power.
And this is only part of this lecture.
It is said that the island in the lake of Lainia in the Baheun Kingdom, which connects this river, is bigger than most cities.
There are not just one or two such islands.
In other words.
In the war against Barheun Kingdom, you have to fight in an unfavorable battlefield against soldiers with excellent water magic and affinity.
In addition, even if most of the noble families of the Barheun Kingdom do not have a clear symbol, if they fight near the water, they will be at an overwhelming disadvantage.
Especially when the royals step out…
“No, no.”
I think of war again.
This is true
“Is anything going on?”
He shook his head, saying that it was nothing to see Chloe’s worried gaze beside him.
I’ve been thinking about it lately, but should I say it’s instinct?
You don’t feel a little bit ferocious.
… I can see why the former nobles were called gods.
The direction of reason has changed, and it feels like the root is twisted.
“Lord?”
I looked up at the sun in the sky for a moment and looked to the side.
I looked at Chloe and hugged her.
“Kyaaak! Hey, my lord! Others see!”
“It’s okay. It’s okay.”
I didn’t even care anyway.
Her small frame makes it perfect for hugging her chest. And it’s most comfortable to touch while hugging.
I looked down again, feeling a warm feeling all over my body and feeling at ease in my heart.
Ships floating innumerable.
Starting with the Barheun Kingdom, he looked at the people who traded with the entire southern region.
That’s all mine
“Back to Müller.”
“… Are you okay?”
Even though it has regained some stability, there are still many uneasy factors.
Although Chloe’s words have some truth.
“Here is dangerous, but Müller is also dangerous. More precisely, the entire South rather than Müller.”
“That is, yes.”
There are people in Müller too, but all the people who can be called my aides are here.
It can be said that it is a disadvantage of minority operation.
That few people can be trusted.
“We start with the people of red blood. I’ll leave this to Triana, Zeke, and Isabelle.”
“Yeah.”
Isabel, who has a deep understanding of the field, including the person under him, and Zeke, who is excellent at domestic affairs. And Triana, who will serve as their signboard.
All of them are trustworthy people and have excellent abilities, so I think they are enough to entrust this land.
“What about correspondence?”
“Wait, in my heart…”
I felt Chloe linger in my arms.
“Let’s see…”
“Kyaaak! Hey, lord!”
Holding Chloe’s shoulder with one hand, I put my hand inside Chloe’s coat.
Chloe’s small breasts are touched inside his clothes.
“Isn’t this here?”
“… Leo.”
I ask about the lumpy texture at the tip, but I withdraw my hand at the cold eyes flying by.
Aren’t you afraid of other people’s eyes? Haha
“Here it is.”
“Well. Indeed, indeed.”
I nodded at the contents of the letter.
Anyway, the conversation with us is progressing smoothly.
“Then shall we go too?”
“Yeah.”
I went down the hill laughing as I saw Chloe tidying up my clothes.
There are people I haven’t seen in a long time.
* * *
“Oh oh. A long time. My hometown.”
“Isn’t the lord’s older brother Franz?”
“It means that this is my second home now.”
The sound of clattering horses walking.
The feeling of horseback riding is now familiar.
Aslan and Müller. The end of this journey, which seemed so close, finally came to an end.
“This.”
At that time, Chloe, who was leading the way, looked ahead and opened her mouth in surprise.
“Well?”
“Welcome.”
The outer fortification walls visible in the distance.
As I got closer, there were a lot of people outside.
“Aigoo. Why is it so hard to do this…”
All of them were Müller’s people.
With the gates of the outer castle wide open, they were welcoming their masters.
“Quaaaaa!”
“Lord, long live! Hurray!”
“Glory be to the sun god!”
The closer you get, the more you hear their voices.
“This. This makes guarding more difficult. What are the guards doing?”
Chloe had a small smile on her lips as she said that.
There was no major damage, but it was not without wounds.
Even more so, a battlefield where people die in accidents.
Knights and soldiers are also crying and laughing, looking for their hometown after a long time, their family.
“But, yes.”
Welcome people.
Army with you. Their hearts are conveyed.
This must be the feeling of being on top again.
“Isn’t that good?”
Right!
I snapped my fingers and a huge firecracker exploded in the sky.
It’s purely an imitation of firecrackers using my magical power, but let’s celebrate the day of return by brightly illuminating the red sky as the sun goes down.
“Once inside, let’s open the warehouse and hold a festival. And, as I said before, a reward that the families of the dead will never regret.”
“Yeah. All right.”
Seeing Chloe nod at my words, I smiled in satisfaction as well.
Even if there is no major damage, the dead do exist.
In this world where one life becomes a huge power, all of them are professional soldiers, and they are also those who were forcibly conscripted.
In the first place, it is a difficult world for those with magical powers to live freely. Even if it is the life of a free adventurer, they are those who risk their lives.
Even if he hates even that life, he eventually has to join the corps to protect the village, and he has no choice but to become a soldier or a knight.
The better the talent, the more so.
My military experience in Korea was an ordinary, ordinary soldier’s life, but I, who lived a soldier’s life in the name of duty, wanted to give my own medal to those who worked under me.
“I must think of those who died on my orders. You should record them one by one and think of a system that can be a small benefit when doing something in the future.”
“… All right.”
How many wars will there be in the future?
Even if I can’t give you that big of a reward if you think about it. I want to do something like this now.
* * *
“Is this the monster?”
“Yeah.”
A large-scale monster born from taking a quasi-aristocratic magical power holder.
But the one in front of me right now was a guy who was almost dying.
“Kkeuk… !”
“It’s almost, just breathing.”
“Sorry. I’m doing my best, but I’m in a state where my recovery isn’t working properly…”
“No, it’s okay. After all, I didn’t think they were in a good condition when I looked at the conditions of those caught before.”
Rather, it would have survived for a long time.
Is it because the stronger the mana is, the stronger and longer the lifespan, or is it just a coincidence?
This is not a situation worthy of statistics, but it is a headache.
“This…”
Violet, who came to Müller with me this time, and the others are looking at the monster with shining eyes.
“This is great. Research seems to have gone in a completely different direction than ours.”
“Do you know anything?”
“I’m sorry, but in this state… But none of the strange waves I mentioned before.”
While saying that, Violet moved closer to the monster and looked at the situation here and there.
Anyway, I also nodded at Violet’s words.
I don’t feel anything about the wave that twists the monster.
“The wave itself disappeared after a while.”
“… Miss Alina.”
Alina Earthlane.
She smiled at her as she walked slowly.
“It’s been less than a week since I watched the monster that Miss Triana brought. It got weaker and then disappeared right away.”
“… Then the effect of the drug itself can be seen as a week at the longest. I can’t think of it as an exact date because of the circumstances.”
“Anyway, you’d better be careful. It is true that it has the power to seduce monsters while losing their sanity.”
Of course, the patrol team was increased in preparation for that case.
All the passages from Larson’s estate to this direction were blocked, and I was prepared for sneaking in, but how well will it work?
“So, what are you going to do from now on?”
“From now on? Okay.”
Looking at the monsters and looking at Violet and the others, who went out of their minds due to their inquisitive mind, I thought slowly.
A tense situation continues due to the declaration of war by the Franz Borin Alliance, but no one has yet to make the first move.
“Now it is time to go slowly.”
“Is it?”
Whoa.
Cigarette smoke began to float in the sky.
Alina followed the smoke with her eyes and then her mouth opened softly.
“You’d better be careful. The capital.”
She nodded her head at that.
The aristocrats in the capital started to move secretly, but it is not unusual for the royal family to be quiet.
Is there a purpose or…
“The ducal family will remain neutral this time. That’s because the Earthlane family has been such a family for generations, but even if that’s the case, the current royal family…”
Alina, who had opened her mouth to that point, shook her head.
“Well, the best thing would be to experience it yourself.”
She said as she looked at her and started to leave.
“Are you going with me this time?”
“No. I’ve been working for a while, so I’m on vacation now.”
Mmm.
When the host leaves, the guest stays.
Well, it doesn’t matter.
