Chapter 143

It must have been about an hour since Mongsoon withdrew.

After hearing that a guest had come to me, I came out to meet someone, and I was put in a situation where I had a brief question while seeing a completely new face.

The person who didn’t look like an adventurer, but didn’t look like someone’s attendant or a servant of a noble family, reacted as if he knew me even though he was seeing it for the first time.

“Hello Sir Ega. I have come here to deliver the items you requested.”

Even without revealing who he was, as soon as he saw me, he put his hand into my bosom, so he reflexively raised his mana and prepared for a surprise attack. I would be nervous if someone I didn’t know and tried to take out something that I hadn’t even ordered before, but since I’ve done a lot recently, I couldn’t react calmly.

However, when his hand came out again, I understood the situation at once and greeted him with open arms, smiling as brightly as I could to relieve the guards’ guards who were starting to feel puzzled by my reaction.

“It’s ready sooner than expected. I thought it would come tomorrow.”

As if he was used to this, the man who naturally accepted my sudden welcome smiled and handed me the scroll he took out of his pocket.

“We’ve been lucky. We’re glad we were able to deliver on schedule.”

At first glance, it was clear that it was high-quality parchment, but the scroll, which was not sealed in any way, was the flight permit that Duke Lesrom promised. Well, it’s a situation where you can’t openly send someone from the aristocrats, and you can’t even put your own name on it.

Even though all they had promised in advance was an incomplete message that they would send it within a day or two, the reason why they weren’t genuinely thrilled that they took care of even this cumbersome part in order to deliver it to me in a form that was as inconspicuous as possible was purely because the other person was Duke Lesrom. because it won

Still, you should get what you get.

The scroll, which I checked on my way back to the mansion after sending the man off with a simple greeting, was written in a form that looked like an official document, but since I had never seen a real flight permit, I couldn’t tell if it was true or not. Anyway, that part could be easily solved by showing it to Gis, so I wasn’t particularly worried.

Still, while passing the time by looking at the light and looking at the handwriting to see if there was a way to know something, Ragnis and the others returned home after the trial. I don’t know if it was because they were able to have a proper dinner this time or simply because it ended quickly, but the faces of those who returned looked much more alive than yesterday.

The trial today was also organized positively, so the atmosphere of the people was bright, and in such a happy atmosphere, we were able to gather and enjoy dinner after a long time.

“The trial of the nobles... it was really hard. It felt like my blood was drying up.”

Giess started off with a spleen expression even until morning, but now he looks like a refugee who eats soup while dragging dark circles. Fortunately, he says he has finished his work by attending the trial today.

“Eldomia, you should have seen the look on the faces of the aristocrats when he appeared as a witness.”

“Honestly, it was a bit thrilling. When I met eyes with mine, Viscount Etaville’s expression seemed to bring vibrancy to my life just by thinking about it whenever I was depressed.”

Viscount Etaville was the person who started the work after incurring a debt to Giess. It is said that he was one of Count Bossa’s aides, and he was quite prominent in the moneylender business. In this trial, it was like pretending to be a poor victim who lost personal assets to Ragnis’ heinous act of treason, but it was really good that we had a real victim and ended up being attacked.

“There are not one or two street thugs who unknowingly borrowed money from him and ended up on a leash. It is said that even among adventurers, there are those who use debt as an excuse.”

“He’s the guy who wants to put a knife on it.”

“...Eldmia, don’t say such things recklessly. I’m really afraid I’ll go and stab you.”

I couldn’t help but react with regret to Cheryl, who spoke in a very sincere manner, not joking.

It is said that if you fly in the sky on a flying dragon, the weather is perfect for hypothermia or something like hypothermia if you are not fully prepared.

“I’ve felt it before... but Eldmia-sama seems strangely accustomed to flying in the sky.”

No matter how winter it was, Geiss tilted his head in amazement as he looked at me wearing a coat and even a cape that would make it hot even if I moved normally. Asilie, who shares similar feelings next to him, was also dressed in the same outfit as me, but without any advice, he seemed very puzzled when he saw that I was dressed well on my own.

“I see. Isn’t this the second flying dragon boarding?”

“What a surprise. In this kind of weather, even riding a horse would make you shudder because it was cold. I just thought it would be colder because it’s a flying dragon.”

“Usually, I look at the difference in temperature coming from the height difference very funny. The courage you showed in the air last time is also surprisingly, aren’t you a flying dragon pilot?”

“What can I do if I have a constitution? Without permission from the royal family, I can’t fly freely, and it’s all about money to feed this big guy.”

It is certainly a very attractive means of transportation, but there is no interest or regret because of the disadvantage that you cannot ride it as you wish unless you have a job approved by the state. If I can keep it without worrying about such obstructive restrictions, I’m thinking of raising it as a pet and a means of transportation.

“Without restraint, this target is a group of mercenaries on the move. I think the biggest challenge will be not knowing where exactly they are. But according to the information, they aren’t the ones with horses.”

Some of the executives might be riding horses for comfortable movement, but it was clear that it wouldn’t affect the speed at all in the yard where everyone was moving together anyway. This time, I opened up the map I had obtained from Zicmel and handed it out to Gieth. After a quick glance, he nodded confidently.

“It’s in the direction of Raviel. The roads in this area are well-maintained, so if you don’t talk, you’ll spend most of your time on the road. The location marked on the map seems to have been predicted based on that.”

“You can get a sense of it just by looking at the map? Do you memorize all the topography of the kingdom?”

“It’s kind of like an occupational disease. Since I spend more time flying around, I can get lost in the city, but I’m good at finding things like this.”

Since I couldn’t come up with an example that I could sympathize with or understand Gieth’s argument, which seemed so obvious, I just assumed it was so and decided to accept it.

“You remember how to ride two?”

“of course.”

Basically, in order for the three of us to ride on the saddle made assuming two people, we have to give the pilot as much space as possible and sit with two people in the back seat. I almost control the direction with my whole body. Because it is a skilled pilot, it is not at the level of falling, so if you are stuck in the middle, you will soon lose your balance and be in danger of falling.

With a motion that is difficult to say even with empty words, she climbed onto the flying dragon and took a seat. As she helped Asillie sit in front of her, she said with a slightly excited voice.

“Maybe a little bit nervous?”

“Riding a flying dragon?”

“No. Riding with Eldi. Didn’t I ride in the back when I was young? I wanted to go for a walk while riding a horse like this because it was the opposite. I didn’t expect to ride a flying dragon before a horse.”

At the same time, Asilie shook her shoulders as if she was having fun, and she looked so innocent that she was at a loss for words. It was such a ripple effect that I thought that I wanted to get a flying dragon pilot’s license without realizing it at the moment and ride a flying dragon myself.

“Then let’s go!”

It was early in the morning, so the flying dragon spread its wings at the signal of Gieth’s cry resounding from the empty parade ground of the Ogatorv Mansion.
