1221 The night before departure

"What do you think Lord Benjamin is after, Liz?" Are you really thinking of defeating the monsters and becoming a king? "

"Honestly, I don't know. I don't think it's a lie, but I think it's a detour.”

"Well, after all, if you're going to defeat a monster, you should definitely have a strong ally by your side." If you come all the way here on your own, you may be surprised. "

I went to the mausoleum with Benjamin.

I agreed to that, and then I had dinner with him, and I gave him a room away from him, and he rested.

Then, after the First Prince has rested, I will ask Elizabeth again.

What does it mean to kill a monster?

I know that Benjamin wants to move so that the country doesn't break up.

But there are many other ways to do that.

After all, he was closest to the throne after the demon king died as the first prince.

That's why, if you use your subordinates to capture the royal castle, that's the end of the story.

If Charles and the others resisted, they would be able to deal with him as a rebel.

But I came alone to a small country called the Orient, and asked for my help.

Even though I didn't know him until then.

I can't find the point of doing such a thing anywhere in the line of reasoning.

Even if I had a track record of defeating monsters.

"Maybe the monster crusade is just a pretext." Isn't it true that Al-kun has the purpose? "

For me? But don't you have to go all the way to the mausoleum?

“It's not like that. Go to the mountain of death, where the peaks do not attract people. You'll have a chance to talk a lot along the way. People need to have a lot of opportunities to talk to each other in order to get along. In other words, His Highness Benjamin wants to travel with Al-kun and deepen his rapport in the name of the monster crusade.”

"... is that possible?" If you just want to deepen your rapport, why don't you stay here for a while and just talk while having a banquet? Before that, I don't think getting along with me should take precedence over the fight for the throne. "

“That's not true. Al, you should be more aware of your worth.”

Is it my value? Did you say it's normal to fight monsters?

“No, not really, but more fundamentally about the country of origin. An unknown country beyond the peak. Numerous previously unknown techniques from the country. There is no counting of naming, magic, or how to make weapons and tools using monstrous materials. All of those things that had not been in our country before had flowed through His Highness Charles to the Mysterious Kingdom of Brillia. I'm sure His Highness Benjamin also values that.”

I see.

If you ask me, it may be natural.

That's one magic thing.

You can name others by [naming], but magic power flows to others by that amount.

And if the named person dies, the magic will be lost from the named person.

In order to deal with this, small countries received naming from multiple sources, and a stream of magical power like a mesh became entangled.

However, in that way, it was difficult for the superior who had magic power to monopolize the magic power, and it would be averaged across the board.

As a result, the nobility's superiority would be lost.

However, I can't believe that the country that brought the magic is doing such a sloppy management.

Somehow, I could think that I was controlling the flow of magic power.

And in fact, the United Kingdom of Fontana is ready for it.

The church's inheritance ritual allows the nobility to inherit the flow of magical power from generation to generation.

There is a way beyond the mausoleum that we don't know.

But crossing the summit means death.

Therefore, it would be natural for us to think about getting information from the person who has that information.

It's not a mistake to be close to me in that way.

After all, I was officially an international student from the United Kingdom of Fontana, so my identity is clear.

I have no connection to the exile of my homeland at this time, but I do have the knowledge.

This means that we may even meet up to grab those clues by acting together.

Then I might need to lead you to the white dragon on the peak without showing you much of my hand.

I was thinking about that as I prepared to go to the peak.
