Chapter 123: 123
Marius continues the conversation.
“I may be listening to you to some extent, but before we crusaders were sent here, there was a massive outbreak, and there was already damage. Of course, in the elves.
I ask Mr Liddy for the injury allowance, but there is no change in his expression.
“I think I managed to stop it at that time, but the damage was too great…”
You used that sword then. Because there was a life, there were people who lost their lives.
“The number of people inside has dropped dramatically, and we can’t even rebuild it like this. So this inner part of the elf was abandoned, and the inner people were to move to other parts, etc.
“What about the cave there?
“It will be managed by the state. If we leave it to decay, the burglars will be able to settle in, so we will garrison our troops over there, and the cave and the square we are garrisoning now will be used primarily as an exercise area for recruits.
“… Oh, you mean an exercise ground where an infinite number of actual opponents are born.
“Exactly.
I don’t know how often it springs up, but if it were the elves, there would be some normal life, so I can’t even go to the cave that often. If so, I would have said that when I realized it was wacky.
In that regard, if you mean military training, you’ll be able to dive or so once every two days, and if you sweep inside that way, it doesn’t seem like a powerful demon will ever spring up in rare things.
I’m curious why you haven’t done that before, but I wonder if you cared inside or something.
“So, what do you want from me, Mr. Liddy?
“Frankly, I want Lord Liddy to live in your house.
“What?”
I raise my dumb voice. No, weren’t the elves supposed to move inside?
“The people in here move on to something else. Doing so will take longer when you want to borrow the knowledge of the elves.
“Was this the closest place to the capital?
“That’s right. So I want to keep one close. Then it’s best to have them live in the capital, but they don’t, do they, elves?
“Yes.”
Mr. Liddy nods. Elves have magic refills. Where magic is rare, like the capital, it will be tough to keep living for a few days anyway. Technically, once every few days, maybe I should come to the Black Forest and replenish it, but it’s not efficient.
Marius continues the conversation.“If you could do that, you’d be living in the capital in the first place… so, if you ask me, you’d hear that it’s the closest place to the capital, the Black Forest, that is, your house is the most convenient. That’s what she asked for.
Mr. Liddy nods cocklessly again. We are certainly not the best when it comes to meeting the conditions.
“Is Mr. Liddy good?
“Unless it’s an inconvenience for Mr. Eizou.
“It doesn’t mean annoyance. You’re just going to leave the people inside.
“Yeah. I know.
I wonder if it would be good around there, even though there would be family or something. But I wish there were complications around there, so I can ask. I don’t know how old I am because I am an elf, but I guess I am not a child, and if I say I prefer to be in person, shall I?
“Okay. Let’s take it.”
“Thank you.
“Thank you from me, too.
Mr. Liddy and Marius are coming to thank you.
“Gentlemen, thank you very much for this time. Thanks to your work, we were able to wipe out the demons that nest safely in this land.
Marius addresses the soldiers in line, which Miss Frederica writes down. I’m guessing he’s also a nominee from the country.
It’s suspicious if she has that perception.
“As I told you before I left, I can’t give you guys as much reward as you want, but I believe there’s a lot I’ve gained from this experience.
The previous world might say “rewarding exploitation,” but this time we’ll have to convince each other with that. In fact, I think it’s a big deal whether you’ve been in action or not.
“Luckily this time there was nothing to lose my life. But there are those who have suffered severe illness by giving themselves up. Praise their dedication and courage with applause!
Wah the applause rolls up. Me and Mr. Liddy applauded too.
“Come on, then, let’s go back. Triumph!”
The applause and cheer rolled up again, and it seemed as if it would last forever.
