When I returned home after the meeting with the Nobleman, I packed my tools for dungeon exploration, such as preserved food, knives for eating, lanterns, ropes, and poisons, into a backpack that was enchanted with a weight reduction spell.
I put 1 potion for recovery and 3 mana potions in my waist pouch. It is made of shock-absorbing material, so even if it is smashed with a sword, the bottles inside will not break. These alone cost 10 gold coins.
These were all things I used when I was an adventurer.
I was half nostalgic and half wishing I had never had the chance to use them.
How did a life that was supposed to end with me contributing to Yang as a member of guard corps go so far astray?
Should I have changed my destination when I fought the goblins that appeared in the forest? No, I don’t think I can live in a place I have no connection to and fit in.
Living in Yang was inevitable, and could not be avoided.
If that was the case, this request would be one of the trials I would have to overcome.
“Let’s get some information straight.”
In order to get over this safely, I need to know exactly what my current situation is.
It is not possible for Zelma to request the work of erasing a Knight from the world at her own discretion. The Erler family would definitely be involved behind the scenes.
He is the pathetic head of the Christo family, but since he became a hindrance to the Erlers, they decided to get rid of him.
So far, there is no problem in assuming that this is confirmed.
The important part is ‘Why should he be killed?’
The reason is important. If he was committing a crime behind the scenes, the Lord should just bring him to justice according to the law. He would not ask a commoner to do so.
It’s important to note that Christo Brate is the head of the Knightly family that rents and manages Yang from House Erler.
The Brate family manages the village and delivers the harvest, livestock and money to the Erlers. Do they want to change this trend? Regardless of the method, if they make it a directly managed land of House Erler, they’ll be able to increase their income.
However, it’s a weak reason to kill the nobles in secret.
I can see a path for Yang to grow a lot by discovering the dungeon. If people gather, the amount of money, paid to the Erlers will naturally increase, so there is no need to forcefully kill them. There is also a way to take over slowly and over time. In fact, that method is the royal road. If they don’t choose that method, then there must be some other reason why they need to hurry.
[TN: Royal Road= Correct method]
Whether that reason is rational or emotional, I don’t know.
Is Regina, whom Zelma asked when she left, the key to this, or is there something else? …… There is no conclusion to be drawn from this.
It’s late and I have an early day tomorrow, so I’m going to call it a day and go to bed.
I turned off the lights in my room and laid down on my hard bed.
I was so tired that I fell asleep immediately.
TN: The real controversy is going to start soon. It’s getting more interesting. Well I’m doing my best in order to have daily chapters but my University hunting is also getting in the way. Besides that I don’t even want to become a ronin.
