Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 339

After dealing with the knights, I decided to slightly revise my evaluation of the Western Kingdom..

From a neighborhood full of lazy people who can't even deal with orcs properly, to a friendly neighborhood where seven knights who are brainy and lack skills but have a lot of money come in groups and provide travel expenses to return to their hometown. It was very disappointing that the three escort knights who had been with the lord for the first meeting with him left behind like ghosts, but there was nothing he could do..

Now I'm starting to understand that they couldn't deal with the orcs properly. Since they are such kind and generous friends as the trees, I guess I couldn't help but feel sympathy while dealing with the orcs.?

"I never thought I could find horses and make money this way.."

Smiling, I took off the barding of the warhorse that was now my horse and handed it over to the guy who was standing there with a dumbfounded expression. He was shocked and staggered, but somehow he accepted it. He was the squire of a guy named Haksen who stood at the forefront and boasted about being rude and doing everything he could. It seems like he was like that ever since I heard that he paid for a horse as a ransom..

I don't know if it was shocking that the serving knight lost to the adventurer, or that the knight ransomed the horse, but it was clear that I couldn't believe the sight before my eyes. Maybe it's both.

But is there anything you can do about it? If you don't have money for a subject that is twice as arrogant as other people, even these things should be taken away. You should have brought along a horse that doesn't listen well when you tease it. If you have a child who obeys this well, isn't it normal for it to be taken away? Still, I have a conscience, so I leave behind the barding..

"I will be using the saddle, backpack, and helmet, so please pass them on to me.."

Of course, I'm leaving it behind because it's unnecessarily heavy and unnecessary..

"...Yes, I understand."

Not long after, the guy waddled out of the stable, carrying heavy barding and an armful of javelins and bows attached to his saddle. Not long after, he was very panicked and heard something being thrown loudly. It seemed like he had fallen into trouble while avoiding someone..

"The driver is not good, and the squire is not good either...."

Because it’s a funny place.

As I was shaking my head and rechecking the harness, I felt a presence behind me and heard a familiar voice..

"Is that what Lord Haxen said??"

It was the Margrave of Kelvast. He was not accompanied by any escort, but he kept a pretense of calm and looked at his words with a pretense of indifference, so it seemed like he had already heard the whole story and came after grabbing the back of his neck..

That nonchalant appearance can't possibly be sincere. Since the knights have been robbed by a baseless adventurer, the lord will feel like he has been smeared in the face, and the atmosphere in the city will become ugly for a while. 'Is it true that the knights who were robbed by an adventurer can protect us?' The same sound will be prevalent.

Nevertheless, Margrave Kelvast's performance was perfect. He can only guess about psychology, but cannot be certain. There was no reason to delve into it, so I just nodded and answered lightly..

"you're right. Those are good words. People follow me well too."

"I heard the others only got pennies.."

From the nobles' point of view, it was a small amount of money. Each knight received only four gold coins..

"I got what I deserved. No one has the ability to pay more."

Margrave Kelvast's mask cracked for a moment as he deliberately turned his head to answer. It was a natural reaction since the knights in his hands were devalued..

Because of the existence of Aurors, knights are classified into different classes, but in the end, knights are much stronger and more advantageous fighting machines than humans who cannot use Aurors, so they were by no means a cheap type of soldier. It's just that Aura users are occupying the position of medieval supercars, but they are also popular foreign cars..

A knight named Haksen said that there were three more people stronger than him, and two of them, including him, were Auror users. The Margrave of Kelvast, who is in front of me right now, owns at least six supercars and seven foreign cars, and has countless It could be said that he is an insanely rich man with so much wealth that he can command an army and even run a city..

To be honest, I had only heard that Kelvast was rich and generous in many ways because it was a barrier against orcs, but I had no idea it would be to this extent. However, while he was away for a short time, the value of his three supercars and seven foreign cars dropped to the level of junk cars, so no matter how nice the person is, he cannot help but feel uncomfortable..

"...They're not that needy though.."

Although it is difficult to understand with modern common sense, it was an extremely natural reaction. In fact, the drivers raised their voices saying they could pay more ransom..

"Did you? It seems the West is richer than I thought.."

They must be doing well because they can afford to spend money. Margrave Kelvast let out a silent sigh at my answer, which clearly contained such intentions..

Of course, I knew this because it was what they also claimed. I just made them all shut up and then took four each. Haksen was furious at first and said he would pay enough money to buy three warhorses, but later he became scared that the ransom price would be cut for no reason and shut up..

Did you say that if you stay still and act like a dick, you should give him a reason to act like a dick? I just focused on giving reasons..

A knight was released after paying a ransom that was less than the price of a war horse. Even the person who called him a knight would be put to death, and the person involved would feel so humiliated that he would want to bite his tongue. Even if you excel on the battlefield for a while, you will probably have to live with the shame of being teased for being a knight worth four gold coins.?

"Ha, are you really just an adventurer??"

Margrave Kelvast probably already understood my intentions from the conversation we just had, and without hesitation, he threw a fastball. Rather than being particularly critical or hostile, he seemed bewildered..

Even though the unexpected behavior of the knights was the cause, the calm and serene appearance that made it hard to believe that this was a person facing a person who upset and messed up everything that could have gone smoothly was not an act, so I felt a little sorry. answered.

"Due to unavoidable circumstances, there are a lot of waves in life.."

"That's really... poetic.."

Margrave Kelvast nodded in understanding, even though he had a shocked expression on his face, and shook his head to change the topic..

"In fact, the reason I came here was not because of that incident, but to tell you the outcome of the meeting.."

"Thank goodness. This may have been hard to believe, but thank you.."

"...They haven't told me the results yet?"

"If you didn't believe it, it wouldn't have been the lord who came here, but soldiers with spears and swords.."

When I said this as if it were obvious, Margrave Kelvast burst out laughing and nodded..

"That's correct. In fact, we were not stuck in the city just having fun and eating, so I concluded that various circumstances were connected. I've already sent the parbalma.."

"Mayo green onion?"

"Oh, there are no drakes and gates in Kelvast. Just for the sake of one possibility.."

In the past, I would have wondered why Orc bastards could use a gate and ride a drake, but because of Kakula, I thought it was indeed the wisdom of our ancestors..

"To be honest, until now, I thought it was a crazy possibility, but I'm starting to think that it might have been the wisdom of our ancestors. Maybe something similar happened during the last major offensive.."

What the fuck. I was shocked because I thought you read my thoughts..

From then on, Margrave Kelvast continued to chat with me casually until I finished the maintenance and left the stables. It was only when we reached the edge of the castle garden that he started talking about something else in passing..

"I'm trying to contact you as quickly as possible, but it will take fifteen days for this letter to reach Etisel. Including the reply, it will take a month. I want to let you go too, but..."

"Since you are using the kingdom's emergency communication means, you cannot bring along unknown strangers.."

"It's not that surprising anymore. Are all the adventurers in Itisel as knowledgeable as you??"

"Thank you for the compliment, but in the end, I think that's where everyone lives.."

There are people like Gaendal Party and there are bastards like Dantel, so I don't think there's anything wrong with that. In response to my answer, he nodded formally and continued speaking..

"It's okay to call me a substitute, but if you want, I can write a letter of identity in my name.."

"...Wouldn’t it be more beneficial to somehow hold on to what I said until the truth of it is confirmed??"

"Well, something like this happened during a brief meeting, so I'm not sure if it's really beneficial.."

Judging from the fact that he was laughing even as he spoke, he was clearly not an ordinary person. 'He's putting shit on my face. Catch him and kill him right now!' Even if a situation were created where you shout, ‘That’s possible.’ I was planning to accept it..

Of course, if that were the case, many other people would have had to receive my axe, knife, and needle..

"Even though the only ID I have is an Ethisel adventurer's card, I came from the steppe, so there is no reason to suspect illegal immigration. It's not completely free, but at least you won't have to worry about passing through the kingdoms on your way back to Ithisel. Or, you can stay here as a guest and wait for someone from Ethisel to come to meet you.."

"In the former case, what do you want in return??"

"I want silence."

Isn't this an unexpected answer? I looked at him, tilting my head to see what he was talking about, and Margrave Kelvast explained with a faint smile..

"Shouldn’t we save face after you go? It's too shameless to come to this point and ask you to return the axe. Just to make you a hero."

"......An unidentified traveler, who succeeded Lord Dubert, punished the lazy guardians of Kelvast to raise awareness and headed east without a goal.?"

It must have been similar, judging from his surprised reaction with his eyes wide open..

"You are a coveted talent. Are you not interested in kingdom life??"

"There are still many waves to hit."

Putting aside the regretful words of Margrave Kelvast's coaxing, I chose the certificate of identity..
