11 7. The New Lords' Flow

Through the mirror, it was on the side of a rocky mountain approaching the fortress of Falve.

Tordek, a Dwarf youth, saw the sight in front of him and surprisingly stopped thinking and walking.

"Really..."

It wasn't that I didn't believe it, and there were rumors from pedestrians that it seemed true.

Still, when you actually see the view of the castle fortress being built in Falve, which was heard to have been devastated, the exclamation leaks.

Besides, isn't it even made of something like a city chick around its fortress?

"Still amazing, the new lords."

"Absolutely."

Tordek unexpectedly stares seriously at the old man standing next to him in response to what he didn't expect to have.

"I am Rosius, the village chief of Kaye village. My lord called me."

In response to the introduction of the old man with gray hair, Tordek also responded by briefly explaining how he had come to this point.

Humans and Dwarves.

Both who lived in the same country and were in the process of similarly similarly making many enemies, such as goblins, but cannot even be said to be close because of the differences between the race and the area in which they live.

But the Dwarf youth and the human old man had the same sentiments.

"There's a hell of a lord here," he said.

To say the least, the magical mirror that created the transfer gate (gate) that carried as many as two hundred dwarves - and the Mirror of Furfroom - is not even understandable to them, who are not mysteriously profound.

The Dwarves will also be in a very different mood than they are when they come out of the mirror and uniformly show the same reaction.

Most importantly, if you knew that Mirror of Furfroom had about 200,000 gold coins - 2 billion yen if it were Japanese yen - you wouldn't have been able to creep around with advanced (major) magic equipment (magic items).

Then I'll be called to the castle.

"Yes. Bye."

As I dropped off the old man's back, I was just thinking about what I should do - before Toldek came the person who would probably be the most outrageous.

"Hey, you've come a lot"

If I do it, it looks friendly, and Yut approaches me with one hand up.

"Nice to meet you"

"No, no. So, come on, I need to talk to you about the benefits."

Silently, Tordek makes himself strong. Again, five pieces of silver coins and so on were too broken. To what extent will it be priced?

If it's about 4 silver coins or 3, can you manage to convince everyone......

To Tordek, who summed up his thoughts quickly, Yut threw an unforgiving word.

"I'm going to increase it a little bit."

"Huh?"

Obviously it's not a good word to say to the person in front of you. Brothers coming out of the mirror one after the other also pay attention to something.

You care about that, or you probably don't, but Yut continues his explanation as he moves around Rock Mountain to the other side.

"Forehead, maybe five copper coins. However, you don't want to give the increase directly, you want to set aside medical bills."

"Would you mind giving me an explanation?

"Of course."

What Yut explained was the Japanese health insurance system, if I put it briefly.

The premium may be deducted from the salary and, instead, the health care provider may be charged at a reduced rate by presenting an insurance policy.

"Well, we don't have a decent hospital at the moment, so we're going to rely on Mr. Arcia."

"Dear Alcia, with a priest who can also resurrect the dead..."

"Yeah. I can't do that. You're an artist."

"Um, what can I do"

Tordek said in dismay, but managed to keep it out of the table.

"I don't take confirmation from us, I think you can do it. I mean, no matter what you think, there's no reason to refuse, is there?

"Oh well. Safe, secure."

This is a world where there is no such thing as public welfare. It was a courageous guarantee for Yut, who was worried about what would happen by bringing Japanese common sense there.

"Well, let's talk about it now. First, we need to get this rocky mountain material to build our own quarters."

Of course, I have a tent for a temporary residence or something.

As he continues to do so, Yut knocks Rock Mountain with a knock.

"I don't mind that, but from the cut out..."

"The cut out is going on there."

"Who the hell...?

Tordek's doubts were quickly dispelled.

"Ha."

On the other side of Rock Mountain, a beautiful cathedral knight was waving his sword. It's not the usual demon sword, it's a straight blade with a blunt glow.

When Valtrude, the incarnation of the war maiden, waves her sword, the sweat plays, and that brings out her beauty again.

That's all, like a single width painting. No, a sight to be painted and preserved.

But I'm not barebacking against a rocky mountain prepared by Yut.

The blunt straight knife pierced the fundamentals all the way without being bounced by the rock skin, and Valtrude put more effort into swinging the straight knife down to the foot.

If you pull a rock mass out of a rocky mountain several times about that, now you cut it into a rectangle exactly the same size.

If you look at it, the stone cut out like that was piled up naggingly.

"What do you think?

"Thank you..."

I can't even say that common sense and reality are collapsing, Tordek told me to squeeze them out.

"Is that Adamantine's?

"Exactly. Of course, with Val's arm would be the move."

The Adamantine weapon strikes with disregard for the hardness of the object, and the Adamantine armor has the legend of protecting itself from all blows.

However, it is also an illusory metal that is rarely produced.

Using such an expensive weapon for cutting out stone, etc... would be something no one else can think of.

"Oh, my God, that's what I was looking at"

As I was leaving the cut stone to Jonah's mindful power to wipe the sweat, Valtrude noticed Yut and spoke up.

"You're brilliant. Exile's old man, this is not how it works."

"The right material."

Tordek stared with a certain certainty at the two laughing joyfully.

"So I have a place to build my quarters on this side and other materials, so I was wondering if you could move quickly to work. Valtrude, I'll leave this place to you."

"Leave it to me."

Pounding his undulating, scarce chest, Valtrude undertook.

With a smile and a nod, but Yut also speaks to Jonah.

"Yona, I asked for Valtrude."

"Yeah. Whoa."

It was Jonah, who had stacked stone to play with her fuzz with the power of mindfulness, but all this time she responded with a serious look.

"Wait a minute. What does that mean?

Yut smiled and said nothing, activating the "Flight" spell. The white robe flickers with the wind, and the black uniform is exposed.

"Well, I have work to do at the castle. Say hello later."

"I'll have it explained clearly later, Yut!

Conference room at the castle fortress in Falve.

Originally, it is probably a room used for military meetings, but now representatives gathered from villages in the territory, as well as former adventurers recruited by Alcia and Valtrude for "interviews" in Sejour, the king's capital, meet together.

The welcoming side, so far, is Alcia alone.

But it would have been thanks to the fact that we had already gone around the villages and connected our faces, there was no tension indoors, and we were also about to finish packing already decided policies, such as the relocation of hopeful people to the Falve.

"It's late......"

There comes Yut, who left the Dwarves to Valtrude and Jonah.

Admitting it, Arcia stood up all the time.

"Thank you for taking the time to get together. Sincerely, thank you."

And declare the meeting open.

"You are gathered here today to make some requests and suggestions. - Yut."

"Complete Phantom (Mirage Fact)"

At the same time as Alcia's signal, Yut chopped off the spell document by five pages and projected it after her.

As its name suggests, it is a spell that creates illusions just like the real thing. Often used to hide pitfalls, create false paths, and make armies look more numerous. It originally works on hearing and smell as well as vision, but this time it wasn't that elaborate.

"This is a model from the village of Kaye, but we want each village to have an installation as well"

What is shown behind Alcia is a panoramic view of the village.

Based on the footage confirmed in Mirror of Furfrom, some machining is done to create the phantom.

"Specifically, stone walls and moats surrounding the village. Install these to boost your defense."

"But even so..."

"Of course I'm worried."

Smile gently at one of the village chiefs whom Alcia doubted. Of course, the reaction is woven.

"But this construction will all be borne by the Earl of Istas. Instead, I'll do everything with his spell. It won't take a day."

"Except for the castle fortress, which created the shape of the city and the rocky mountains, because I'm the one"

I wasn't convinced by that, but it wasn't anything detrimental, so I didn't raise any more questions.

"Instead - I don't mean to, but I'd like to ask you to habituate the people on guard sent by the Counts and to create a vigilante."

There will be many villages where the vigilante was originally located, but Alcia continues to explain that he is planning something more authentic.

"You may lend the necessary equipment, such as weapons or protective equipment"

The remark raised a voice of surprise.

(There's usually no such thing as an exchanger who gives weapons to the people)

Yut laughs bitterly as he refrains behind Arcia.

"And to get these ready and accepted, we will be tax free this year"

A twist beyond earlier dominated the large conference room. Surprises are raised not only by the heads of the villages, but also by former adventurers who hired them as defenses.

"Of course, there's nothing like a doubling of taxes starting next year. Because I will judge fairly by my performance up to last year. I'll leave it in writing."

Yut calmly follows as if to block it.

It also seemed like a story that only had merit on the part of the inhabitants, but it was also a decision that it was better to tax free and set up a bureaucratic mechanism for one year at a time rather than being forced to collect taxes in a shortage of manpower.

Whatever you do, you're not going to fly.

Besides, if you run out of funds, as Larsia said, hunt one dragon, and that's the story.

"It's not an easy story to believe. I know that."

Yut leaves a step forward. Plus, look at Alcia and nod, tell her to leave this place to me.

Alcia flaunted those poor lips slightly and sent her approval.

"Consider this an investment in the future. Now it's definitely a loss, there's quite a bit to take out. But I believe it's an amount we can collect in the future."

I wouldn't say that I don't mind returning this investment either...

Because neither Yut nor Arsia, naturally, Valtrude is willing to support them, even if they want to help the inhabitants.

"Neither apply nor be flexible. I just want to produce richness. For that, I don't hate money or spells. That's how we do it."

Fully convinced air, yet to be born.

But I guess I meant it. An atmosphere begins to be fostered about getting on with this proposal.

"How about that?

Don't miss that opportunity, Alcia asks for a decision.

It was the village chief Rosius of Kaye village who responded to that.

"I appreciate the story. I don't know if I want to do what you suggest... but I can't accept a guard to whom the lord will be sent."

He turned his sharp gaze toward one of his former adventurers who refrained behind him.

At the end of his gaze, he's sturdy with his dark hair cut up short. Now I'm sticking nervousness on my face, but if I laugh, I think I have an out-of-the-box love.

I left the interview to Valtrude, but it's not like Yut doesn't know what a man is either.

Glenn Muller. Is the family name just a self-proclaimed name?

The muscles visible from the gaps in metal armor that cover the entire body would prove to be quite a warrior, even if they are not far from the Exile or anything else.

You're the kind of guy who seems to be playing master general in the baseball club, and Yut feels unsolicited in his heart.

"Dad!"

I was listening in silence, Glenn couldn't stop trying to pop up and be grabbed and stopped by a red-haired sorceress who was next to her on that shoulder.

Her name is Marian.

It's not particularly beautiful, but it has an atmosphere that seems unpretentious and easy to talk about.

(You're the type who treats everyone lovingly and misleads a man. I have one in my class)

She won't even reach under Yut's feet, but even a sorcerer (wizard). It would be quite precious if a presence that could use a theoretical spell would reside in the village.

"I don't have a son. No, he died fifteen years ago."

"At that time, I'm sorry. But I'm also an adventurer..."

"This is just a story, but who would believe that a person who abandoned a village would defend the village, etc.? Where is the guarantee that once you abandon the village, you will not abandon it again"

A drama-like development is happening in front of us.

As an adventurer, Yuut, who has stepped through the castle of the Black Demon of the Book of Nothingness (Caios Evil), slaughtered numerous monsters and even defeated the dragon, sits unspeakably.

Other faces didn't make such a big difference.

(There are other things besides specialty…)

Originally, there were forces in the village - retired former adventurers and guards. I was willing to serve in a defensive battle on the north tower wall, retired soldiers, etc. - and put them down.

This is the result of a mild thought that it would be better to bring in former residents.

I guess Glenn isn't a worse person than he passed the Valtrude interview, but there's no way anyone else can do this to a screwed up parent-child relationship.

Look, Alcia just keeps her mouth open, too.

It was Marian, the red-haired sorceress, who separated the two of them.

"Please stop, Father-in-law"

"Father-in-law......?

"Actually, I had a child..."

Glenn says shyly, holding Marian's shoulder.

That's why I retired as an adventurer.

Well, stick around in the party, have kids and break up the party. Retirement as it is is is not common, but it is not uncommon.

"Oh, you..."

"I knew I was going to be a father soon, and when I was thinking about the kid I was going to be born to, I knew how my father felt..."

"The kid even scratched the kid, and he said he knew what it was like to be a parent!

If you look only at the words, the parent-child fight looks as if it's going on.

But we were flashing and weeping as if our souls had fallen out of each other. One case of settling is more obvious than seeing fire.

(What is this threesome play...)

Did Valtrude hire in anticipation of this happening? It could be enough.

I feel awake and look at Arcia by my side.

Then - that Alcia, too, nodded somewhat satisfactorily, expressing her joy by trying to hold her fist and slap her in the chest.

(The Brewers are not soaking up.)

Dimensional move for a year. To the new facts we now know, Yut could only have a bitter laugh.
