Chapter 539

After dropping Gutenbergs down town, we visit the summer hall of Gibe. Then Benno and Printemps began talking about the establishment of the association with Kirnberga’s officials, and I handed over the Holy Grail to Gibe Kirnberga to finish the prayer ceremony. Since it has already become an annual spring event, I am used to it.

“Let me guide you to the border gate”

I boarded the beast and followed Gibe Kirnberga. The wooden building on the white building is the same as the town of Ehrenfest, but the town of Kirnberga is in the Giebe summer palace and the noble town is closest to Ehrenfest. The more you go, the more downtown you feel. It is completely the opposite of Ehrenfest, which has a downtown, aristocratic town, and the castle of Aube at the back.

“In the past, there were many people from other countries coming in from the border gate, so I heard that the Gibe’s palace was built in the back as seen from the border gate. Can you see a white border gate and a wall with a slightly different color across the wall? ”That is the border gate.”

A Udit sitting in the passenger seat tells you while pointing. I hadn’t noticed that I had only been to Gibe’s palace at the prayer ceremony, but when I approached, I could see two gates of the same height.

“Wow … I thought the white gate made by Abu was beautiful, but the gates and walls where Zent is made are exceptional.”

Boundary gate and Kirnberga’s outer walls are the same white as Ehrenfest, but the walls and gates behind it are a pale rainbow-colored with a glitter like a pearl layer of shells used for rafting. The border wall, which appears to be slightly shining, is long outside Kirnberga and continues long and long. I remembered the Great Wall. It’s strange that it doesn’t meander to the terrain but continues straight as someone draws a line.

…… Who is the first Zent who draws the line?

Jurgenschmitt is where the border of Zent is stretched, and it is learned from geography that it looks like a part of the continent, but it is the first time to actually see the border of the country. I thought that the border could not be seen with the naked eye, just like the border created by Aub, but there is a light, iridescent wall like the gate.

“The border gate is very beautiful, but the building in the town has a wooden structure on top of a white building, just like the town of Ehrenfest, so it’s hard to see unless you get close to it.”

As the Udid says, the gate is three or four floors high, making it difficult to see from the Gibe’s palace. I should have visited Kirnberga at the first prayer, but I was not in sight at all. At that time, it was Ferdinand’s role to greet Gibe, either taking a rest in the carriage and taking a rest, or saying, “Hiddenly hide” and died. It may be.

When I approached, I could see the white door of the border gate fully opened inside. Before that, you can see a knight who seems to be wary. Behind it was a tightly closed border gate. A complex pattern is engraved on the door of the rainbow-colored gate that glows pale. Probably like the clothes of Schwarz and others, there must be a lot of patterns to hide the magic circle.

“Is the Kirnberga border always open?”

“No, it’s special today. I heard from Theodor that Gibe Kirnberga asked Aub to give Rosebine the chance to see the border gate and got permission to open it. I was thrilled because I didn’t think I could see it. “

According to Udit, the border gate is usually closed tightly and the border gate cannot be seen from the front.

“Even in the town of Kirnberga, you can only see the closed border gate and the outer wall when you are young. The height of the border gate and the border gate are almost the same. And I can see the top of the border gate … “

It seems that young Judith had no choice but to see the border gate. It seems that he wanted a knight because he wanted a great cause to approach the border gate.

“I was able to see the border gate from the top for the first time when I entered the aristocratic house and got a beast. I was really moved at that time …. That’s how it’s not just me, and so is Theodor. “

Whether he was embarrassed to aim for a knight to approach the border gate, Udit repeats that he is not alone while shaking the orange ponytail. I smiled a little because it was interesting.

“Did you remember that Theodor wanted to serve Gibe Kirnberga like his father?”

“Well, Theodor is just wearing parentheses. The reason for applying is the same.”

I’ll say that Kildberga’s knight is aiming to become a knight in order to approach the border gate, because Udit is so desperate.

…… Let’s ask Theodore this time.

“Lose Mine, please take down the beast after Gibe”

While being guided by Udit, I take down the beast on the roof of the border gate. There are several Kilnberga knights greeted side by side, and there was a figure of Theodor. Theodor laughs back when you laugh with a glance. It seems to be doing an apprentice work well, and above all.

“Lose Mine, please here”

escorted by Gibe, who had previously cleared the beast, I slowly walked forward. It’s a little windy and chilly because of the high place. The border gate shines in a pale rainbow color in the field of view.

Compared to border gates and town gates that have many waiting rooms and offices in the gate, the border gate has little depth. About three or four meters. Unlike the border gate, which is flat and wide enough to allow many knights to descend on the beast, the border gate has a sloping triangular roof that does not seem to be entered or exited by the beast.

“Only Kirnberga knights can see the scenery from here.”

When I walked up to the edge of the roof, I could see the scene behind the border gate. Beyond the faintly shining border gate was the sandy sea. As long as you can see the state of sand without any magical power.

“I thought that there was another country beyond the border gate. The country that traded as I heard in the story … What about that country? Could it be that this was the situation when the magic was exhausted? ”

Considering the situation of Ahrensbach, which began to be rough due to lack of magic, I think the neighboring country became sandy because the border gate was closed. When I asked with fear, Gibe Kirnberga shook his head, laughing, “I have never heard of such a story.”

“The border gate is a huge transition between the nations, and those without Zent’s permission will not be able to pass with or without magic. I know only that, but the border gate is opened. There seems to be a huge magic circle there. “

And after moving at the border gate, it seems that he entered Kirnberga through the border gate. In other words, both Zent and Aube must have permission.

“Isn’t there a person who can get stuck between the border gates without Aub’s permission even if Zent’s permission is granted?”

Gibe Kirnberga smiled laughingly, whether my question was unexpected or he thought of a merchant who went back and forth between the gates.

“Maybe there was such a stupid merchant. But there is permission to go through the border gate, so I just have to go home. Unfortunately, there seems to be no such interesting story. I don’t know “

“So what stories are there?”

When I took out the writing board, I looked up and looked up at Gibe Kirnberga.

“There are still a number of stories about the spring and autumn festivals that welcomed the visit of Zent. The border gates seemed to be open from spring to autumn and closed during the winter. Seemed to have visited and opened and closed. “

In the spring when trade begins, there are a lot of stories about the townspeople waiting for the opening of Zent while getting ready to accept the merchants who have entered the avalanche from the moment the gate opens, and in the fall the Zent must return before closing It seems that there are many stories of merchants who hurry back because they have to spend the harsh winter of Ehrenfest without getting ready for winter.

“The merchants’ forgotten items seem to have been an annual feature”

“Nevertheless, the border gate is at the edge of Jurgenschmitt, so the Zent, ​​which has to open and close all the gates, is difficult to move. Zent, ​​I feel sorry for Zent that I have to move in Jürgenschmitt. ”

It is an unexpectedly difficult job to open and close the border gates every year every year. Even if you move with a beast, there will be a lot of escorts and entourages. Gibe laughed at my impression.

“There is no need to worry about movement. There seems to be a transfer team in the border gate that can only be used by Zents with Glutlis Height”

Speaking of which, if the transition team between the territories is also Zent, ​​the border gate is outside the border gate that Abu makes, so permission of Aube must be necessary to lay the transition team.

…… Is the presence or absence of Glutrice Height really serious?

“But why did Eisenreich’s border gate be closed instead of Ehren …? Is the border gate so important in terms of trade?”

Now, the border gate must be important, considering that Ahrensbach, who has the only remaining border gate, maintains trade and ranking. Why was it closed? To my question, Gibe Kirnberga pointed to the border gate.

“It seems that there was a country called Boas Geitz ahead of the transfer gate at the border gate, and this was not Ehrenfest, but a large territory called Eisenreich. It seems that the territory had extended further north of Haldenzell, and there seemed to be a large mine, which was a special product of Eisenreiich. ”

It seems that ore and processed products were sold to Bosgait. Also, weapons made from high-quality ores were important weapons for the Haldenzell commoners to defeat the beasts.

“And one more thing. The thing that the countries that trade with Jürgenschmitt want more than anything else is magic stone. In other countries it seems like a rare thing that there are not so many magic stones, and even ordinary people around here can hunt. It seems that even a small magic stone of such a weak demon was able to trade at a high price. “

This is the first time I have heard about other countries. Some questions arise, such as how magic stones are handled in a country where there are not so many magic stones, or whether it is the same in Lanzenave, which is connected to Ahrensbach. As he wrote it down on the writing board, Gibe Kirnberga began speaking quietly in a low voice.

“The beginning of the crash was inspired by Borsgaitz and Aub Eisenreich aimed at Zent”

When I raised my face in amazement, Gibe Kirnberga boiled her chin a little and then continued talking.

“At that time, Aub Eisenreich had enough power to aim at Zent. Aub was tempted to invite the Borsgaiters and try to push the Glutlis Height into the middle” [19459002 ]

Not a king now without Glutlis Height. Apparently he tried to dismiss the real Zent with Glutlis Height. Bosgaite has been sending supplies and other supplies one after another, and Aub Eisenreich has gradually moved goods and knights to the dormitory using the transfer team heading to the Aristocracy.

“Isn’t there anyone on the side of Abu who stopped that big plan?”

“Yes, but it seems like I couldn’t hear it. Aub’s daughter, who realized that she couldn’t stop, ran alone and headed to the center, telling Zent the secret.” [19459002 ]

While the father was moving supplies to the nobility, the daughter ran to his center and ran to the center.

“Zent, ​​who was enraged at her daughter’s news, immediately closed the border gate, returned to the center, attacked the dormitory with the Central Knights, and overthrew Aub Eisenreich.”

And, of course, Eisenreich’s lords and other major aristocrats who attacked the center were executed, and Gibe continued.

“What happened to Aube’s daughter who conveyed the information? Was she also a liaison?”

“It was barely an execution in ligation. Recognized for his loyalty to Zent and his efforts to stop the rebellion in advance, she became a new Aub Eisenreiich.”

I was relieved by the words of Gibe Kirnberga. If you were told that you were here, you would have had a very bad aftertaste. But the story didn’t end here.

“However, that is not an honor at all. The great territory Eisenreiich was divided by Zent into Freibertauk and became a middle territory. It seems that the daughter had a royal fiancé at that time, but that engagement was canceled and she was re-engaged with a lord candidate suitable for the middle territory. “

Although life was saved, the land was divided, and the border gates and mines were lost. The fact that he was separated from his royal fiancé, I can’t believe Zent will reach out no matter how much Eisenreich is in trouble. I think this was a rather heavy punishment.

“It was seen as a territory that caused treason from the surroundings, and it seemed that the former large territory had declined. And, after losing the mine, Raisegang, who had been dedicated to agriculture, I became powerful at once, and of course, there were Eisenreiich nobles who were dissatisfied with it. “

Aub and the main nobility were executed, but not all Eisenreiich nobility were executed. Most of the remaining aristocrats seemed to miss the former glory and complain about the current situation.

“It wasn’t just the aristocrats who were dissatisfied. The Bosgaiters left behind in Eisenreich because of the sudden closing of the border gates were the same, without any notice. I want to go home. Those who wished were gathering in Kirnberga, the closest to the border gate. “

When there is a big incident, bard poets who listen to the parties and make songs. It seems that the lament of the Bosgaiters and the foolish choices of Aub Eisenreich spread as a popular song.

“Eisenreich’s next and successive lord candidates grew up listening to the poet’s song in addition to the elderly glory, and at the time of deciding the next aub, The claim was split in two. ”

“Are you two?”

Gibe Kirnberga slowly nodded as I tilted his head.

“Those who tried to open up the border gates to return those who were only involved in the fight to return to their hometown, and those who were inviting the former Aub to Zent. Two of those who think it is natural to be punished together ”

And, nobles who want to regain their past glory to their lord candidates and nobles who naturally take the same punishment have come to their side and have developed into a battle to divide the territory .

“The girl who became Aub lamented her lack of power because neither the father who rebelled Zent nor the children and grandchildren who quarreled the declining territory could be suppressed. I asked for the return of Abu’s position and the appointment of a new Aub who would rule over this land. “

And it seems that the first Aub Ehrenfest came with Zent who brought the Central Knights. As Eisenreich nominated for the opening of the border gates, Zent changed the cornerstone with Glutlisheit so that Eisenreich would never seek past glory, and the name of Ehrenfest and the territory Seems to have changed.

“There seems to have been Eisenreich’s castle around Greschel now. Considering this, it may be said that it was a good place to give to the princess who came from the territory of Arensbach.”

I write down the story of Gibe and check it against the history I learned.

“It’s a little different from the history I’ve learned. I learned that the first Ehrenfest attacked and took the foundation.”

“It’s still the same that we attacked with the Central Knights and took the foundation from Abu at the time … but it certainly has a different impression.”

Gibe Kirnberga agrees with a light whisper. I looked up at Gibe Kirnberga while closing the letter board.

“And I seem to have known the story of Eisenreich. It was in a collection of stories. As a story of a stupid aub against Zent … Because the territory’s name was different I did n’t understand. ”

There were similar stories in the stories collected at the Aristocracy. I thought it was a lesson based on what was in the past, but I didn’t think it was an old Ehrenfest story. If possible, I would like to compare it with stories that have been transmitted to other territories.

“Is there any literature on this story in Kirnberga?”

“It’s basically an oral statement in the form of parents to children and nobles who serve from Gibe. The literature remains, but the text is a little old and difficult to read.”

…… It was!

I would definitely like to read the literature at that time that was stored in the place where the matter actually occurred.

“Gybe Kirnberga, can you read it? I can read old words too, and the difference between what is spoken and what is left unwritten, the story left in Kirnberga and the lord family. I would like to investigate the difference between the story that is being held and the story that remains in the royal family. “

When I showed my enthusiasm, Gibe Kirnberga pulled back one step, “Oh, it’s okay to show you …”. You can be drawn. I took the word that I could show it.

“Thank you, Gibe Kirnberga”

Gibe Kirnberga quietly asked, as he looked quietly at me, unless he wrote it down during his short stay.

“How does Rosemine think of this story?”

“That’s right … I thought it would be really difficult to rule Jürgenschmitt without Glutlisheit. Couldn’t the opening and closing of the border gates and the territorial line and foundations be changed?” No matter what Alb tries to do, he can’t even exercise power. How hard is the present King to rule Jürgenschmitt? “

I realized that Zent’s power was with Glutlis Height. It is probably because of the lack of Glutlisheit that the present king has been disrespected or cannot be strongly challenged by the land territory.

When thinking about the difficulty of Traokvar’s position like that, Gibe Kirnberga looked as if he had been told something unexpected.

“In this story, Rosemine is conscious of the reign of King Traokvar …”

“What is wrong?”

When I tilted my head, Gibe exhaled slowly. And look at me quietly.

“Then, change the question. What do you think the qualities required of Ehrenfest’s aub with a border gate closed by Zent’s punishment?”

“… Quality required of Aub Ehrenfest?”

I think desperately, rebelling Gibe’s words. I think this is a question that can’t be quite failed.

“Do you think that there is no trade through the border gates, do you have to work hard to improve the territory?”

Listening to my answer, Gibe Kirnberga looks at the town of Kirnberga that extends inside, not outside the border gate.

“I think Kirnberga is governed by serving Zent with Glutlisheit, regardless of the opinions of others. That’s why Villefried is confused by the opinions of Raisegang, who is a territory aristocrat. I’m very worried that you will become the next Aub. “

Gibe Kirnberga seems to be raising anxiety on the contrary to Villefried who is moving to gain the support of Reisegang. Speaking of which, one of Gibe Kirnberga’s sons should have been a close friend of Villefried.

“Did you get any information from your child?”

“Rose Mine-sama comes only to the extent you know …”

Gibe Kirnberga closed his mouth without trying to say any more. As long as the information provider is clear, I won’t be able to talk about the details. You only have to collect the information you need.

…… I have to listen to Cornelius’s report later.

“My son serves Villefried, but that doesn’t directly support his parents.”

I noticed that the voice of Gibe became low and harsh, and I stretched my back. Supporting Villefried here is the fiance’s role.

“Aub who did not try to scold the second wife stubbornly and stubbornly, encouraged Gibbe Greschel’s daughter to be beaten, and arranged his entourage to fill the holes of Mrs and Mrs Aub. I want Rosemine, who can choose to go to the temple in an extraordinary fight, aim for Aub. “

… Eh? No.

The father was motivated by his second wife, thanks to the self-run and presentation power of Brünhilde, and Richard said he wanted to return to his father, and Clarissa would enter the temple I just didn’t go.

“Ghibe Kirnberga seems to be misunderstood. The adoption of the second wife was due to the decision of Ehrenfest and his own determination. Rather, I’ve just retained Brünnhilde, who decided to marry an adopted father who was only visible to his adoptive mother. “

Gibe Kirnberga looked surprised. I will also explain why Richard and Filine work on the side of the couples Aub. I’m telling the fact, but it’s an expression I can’t understand.

“But Rosemine is the most royal trust among the lord candidates …”

“Gibe Kirnberga”

I interrupted Gibe’s words and deepened my smile. Regardless of what I am told, I am not going to aim for Aub as a former commoner.

“Isn’t it natural that Villefried, who is aiming for the next Aub, wants to gain the support of Reisegang … and if I ask Gibe’s request here, I will be at that point. I think that you will be a lord candidate who depends on the language of others, but what kind of reply would Gibe want? ”

After a brief, silent moment, Gibe laughed.

「ローゼマイン様のお考えはよくわかりました。ここは少し風が強いので、そろそろ館に戻った方が良さそうですな。文献をお出ししましょう」

ここでいくら言い募ってもわたしが意見を変えることはないとわかってもらえたようである。わたしは安堵しながら騎獣を出して、乗り込んだ。
