--Rustinel Territory.

This is the western part of the Kingdom of Rhinol, owned by the regional monarch Louise Rustinel.

Although it is not suitable for farming because it occupies most of the territory in mountainous areas, it is said that it is rich in mining resources, holds particularly much silver and produces about 30% of the silver consumed in the Kingdom of Rhinol.

... and now Arcs is visiting this Rustinel territory.

From the west gate of King's Landing, take a horse, head west along the street, and cross one mountain to the end of the kingdom.

The purpose was, of course, to obtain magic silver.

The other day, when I checked the status of the stock of magic silver at the store, I heard that the purchase was delayed, which is still new to my memory.

That's why I sent a report to the Mage's Guild and asked each Chamber of Commerce, but now I don't have enough stock to sell anywhere and I'm waiting for silver to be processed.

In order to secure a temporary allowance, he received an authorization from the royal family and travel expenses for the visit, and went to Rustinel territory, where he owns the silver mountain.

Horseback riding is now a journey through the streets on foot.

The leader hires a local conductor and travels with Noah and Kazi as usual.

It's the result of uncle Crave's training, or he's used to riding.

Now I'm good enough to cast spells while running horses.

Holding a rope on the back of the horse and gazing at the long (quiet) scenery, it's a blurry voice to mouth in a faint tone.

"I can't believe this is really going to be a procurement journey."

"Silver is needed everywhere.Dishes, ornaments, gold plating, coins and so on. "

"So this isn't the time, is it?This is where the mass production system is set up.

From the mouth, if you are dissatisfied, it drips away.

Previous research has made it possible to advance the usage of Alchemy .

You have already completed the enclosure and contract of some magicians, and the guide of Alchemy .Further mass production of the tentative name Smelting Magic Silver has just become possible.

In this situation, there is a shortage of raw materials.

Life is not going well, but in my case, I don't feel like I'm getting stuck quite often.

When he talks to Noah like that, Kazi laughs as thinly as other HR.

"Kihi, can't you do better?Your Majesty ordered me to use my authority. "

"That's, uh..."

"Yeah, it's gonna be hard."

If the royal family were to use power to collect silver, it would naturally be the same argument that they needed silver.

Suddenly, if the royal family wanted silver, other countries would wonder and try to find out why.

Then we can reach the magic meter from there.

Therefore, as a result of the consultation with the Alliance, it was decided to buy the necessary part first, while taking what Arcs is looking for for for the business, not the Alliance.

... on the other hand, it seems that the Alliance has been exploring with the rumored Polk Nadar who is hoarding silver, but your investigation is not pleasant.

As a result of following the flow of silver, they did buy it before, but it seems that the distribution itself has been cut off because they stopped buying it a little while ago.

Now, where the silver went after the break - and of course it's not Arcs' job to look into it.

"Anyway, it's a long trip."

Immediately, he stretched his legs and strayed away, and looked up at the blue sky.

Saying so without saying anything, Noah looked strange.

"Really?Even if we go back, it's only about two weeks.

"No, no, no, that's a long way to go."

That said, Noah and Kazi just looked strange.

I have memories of automobiles, trains, airplanes and other vehicles because I am chasing a male student.Therefore, compared to nature, I can't lose the sense of a long journey.

During your free time on the road, the attention of your guide, who often talks to you gently, is a comfort for your trip.

The veterans of this road for twenty years were not Date, but told me all kinds of stories.

"Don't worry too much about being idle for a long time.

"Yes, it's time to be more careful."

"What's that?

"First of all, raising it would be a direct danger.Basically, it's like a bandit. "

"The so-called bandit?

"Yes"

"Is that how you're going out...?"

Hearing Noah's affirmation, I could not say anything about the breath.

Certainly, the phrase that mercenary collapse becomes a bandit and vandalizes the neighborhood is also a major reading in the man's world.Walk outside the walls, bandits.The sooner you get into the mountain, the more you bandit into something like bandits.

However,

"Bandits...."

I've been chasing a man's life, and when I hear of him as a bandit, he won't stop.In a relatively safe man's country, no such thing naturally occurs, and it belongs to a fairly fantastic creature.

I remember hearing that there were some of those things in foreign countries.

"If your imagination doesn't boil, you can imagine that the Marquis of Gaston hired more mercenaries.It's a cave in the mountains, an old tunnel, a rotten village, and it's stealing regularly. "

"But I didn't hear you say that on your journey?

When asked, Kazi answers.

"The neighborhood of King's Landing is basically well maintained, so the guards patrol the streets frequently, and we don't run into each other.Neighbors aren't that careful. "

"But when it comes to regions, it's different.This Rustinel territory is vast and mountainous compared to other territories.There are lots of empty spaces that aren't well managed. "

"And then, in that empty gap, these people gush up."

It is only natural that we should not be out of control.

"Next thing I need to be careful about... is the monster."

"A monster? Yeah, well, that's what I'm talking about."

As I recall, Kazi turns her eyes unexpectedly round.

"What are you doing? You know all about magic, but you don't know anything about monsters?

"Well, look, I've never been out of King's Landing before."

The first time I left King's Landing was when I went to Crave's territory to practice magic.

At that time, I didn't encounter monsters on the road, and I don't remember being warned to watch out for the two of us.

I didn't really care if it wasn't so familiar because there weren't any monsters in King's Landing.

"It's not something that happens very often, and it's something that Arks isn't interested in."

"That's right... as far as I'm concerned, I'm quite surprised.Kihihi "

Kazi makes a strange laugh.It seems unusual that I didn't know because I have been interested in everything and studying.

"Have they ever seen a monster?

"I've only done this once in a while."

"I've been there a few times."

"Are there two of you?"

"I made a confession to Clave when he ordered me to kill him."

"Ah, that old man will be ordered to do the same.And I saw it then. "

"What did it look like?Is this how you feel when you come out in a picture book or something?

When I hear of monsters, I think of a deformed monster that appears in a picture book in the Mansion.

If there are monsters in reality, it seems that the pictures in the books are based on what exists in reality.

"No, no, the real thing isn't such a cute monkey.When a child sees you cry, no, don't stop your heart. "

"That's right. How can I say that seeing just that is a creepy figure...?"

Apparently, the monsters in this world are completely different from what we thought they were.

It affects cardiac function.

You look so creepy.

If so, is it different from the monster in the fantasy game of the man's world?

The fantasy dream that was in the corner of my head was crushed in an instant.

Anyway, that's what bothers me.

"Are monsters strong?

"Even if you say so."

"Monsters aren't strong or weak.It's all a monster... a disaster.Before that, you're probably not thinking about winning alone, are you?

"What? Isn't that right?

No, no, no, no.

Kazi shouted in amazement while showing a bitter face.

On the other hand, Noah supplements it to compensate for the lack of knowledge.

"... Mr. Arcs.In order to crush monsters, we must move the base troop size. "

"Eh, no, if you leave like that, you'll destroy the village, right?

That makes Noah and Kazi look amazing.

"A monster is such a thing.A monster that can finally defeat 10,000 arrows.In fact, even when Crave gave his life, he took his elite to the crusade.... well, I think he could have killed one. "

Is it that much?

"Well, there seems to be a lot of conditions for going out.Unlike thieves, it's rare to encounter them. "

"Sometimes it's because fewer people have met and survived, but it's not something that happens often.I've never been careful. "

Apparently, you don't have to worry as much as a bandit.

... but the problem is that they say "come out" or "occur".

In that way, I can't feel the biology.

And then, yes.

"Isn't a monster a creature?

"What is it? From there."

That way, Noah quickly rubs up the monocle and enters teacher mode.

"Mr. Arcs. You know what a curse is?

"Curse? Yeah, right?It's the rest of the scum that comes out after using magic. "

--Curse.

After using magic, the Magic Letter Arts Griff scattered and scattered.I often see broken Magic Letter Arts Glyph , but it seems to be called this Curse Suso rather than just a visual effect.

... is it easy to understand when compared to internal combustion engines?

Magic (gasoline) is poured into spells (engines), and their reaction produces magic (energy) and drains a curse.

When the curse is cut, it becomes invisible, but it is proven that it actually exists.

Anyway,

"It is said that monsters are born out of that curse.When this curse reaches a certain concentration, it turns into a monster. "

"So the monster is a creature created by the curse, something else that takes the form of a creature?

"That's right. I think that's a good idea."

It was unexpected that such a cycle existed in the development of monsters.

But when that happens, yes.

If you use magic, only that amount of monsters will occur, and above all,

"Then why isn't there a monster in King's Landing?King's Landing... even if it's not just King's Landing, if you use magic, it'll be full of curses.

There are many people in urban areas.The fact that there are so many people increases the chances of magic being used.

In that case, a monster would appear on the land in proportion to that.

But there's no such thing in King's Landing.

"I hear the King's City is designed to prevent accumulation of curses.The curse is designed to fall east, west, and south, and it's a mechanism to dissipate. "

Curse accumulation?

"That's where the curse stays.Curses have the nature of wanting to go to dark places that are not exposed to the sun or places that are slimy.In the woods, in the mountains, in the remains of the underground, in the ruins of ancient times. "

"I also hear that these places are designed to gather curses intentionally.Do you want to automatically contain the monsters that have occurred? "

Hee...

"I missed the conversation, but the monster didn't appear in King's Landing because I let the floating curse escape and consciously prevented such a place."

Talking to Noah and the others like that,

"--Ladies and gentlemen, please wait"

And then, the lead conductor stopped the horse and called out.

Now, it's time to go to the next mountain.

Though I wondered what was going on, I stopped my horse's feet according to the guide.

Beyond his gaze is the entrance to the mountain road.

Looking closely, there were unnatural people there.

The conductor said, "I'll see how it goes." He left.

... and eventually the Conductor comes back to listen to me.

"Looks like they're blocking the road."

Stopping traffic?

"Yes. Looks like there's a bandit nearby that's temporarily blocking the road...."

That means that the officials in the territory measured it so that there would be no harm.

"When will the blockade be lifted?

The guards don't know that either.

"Well, what else can we do?

"There are, but using them would be a big detour."

"I see....."

But there's nothing I can do about it.I have no choice but to wait here until we know when the blockade will be lifted.

At the entrance, some of them set up tents and waited for the blockade to be lifted, but they weren't ready for it.

When it comes to going around, it's inevitable.

The problem is...

"... if it's going to take too long, you have to think about it.If the sun goes down, it's too much trouble. "

Kazi is right, we didn't have a long way to go, so we don't have much time.

If it were to take some time to get to the next station, the sun would be down on the way.

I'd like to avoid the night army as much as possible.

"Well, why don't you stop by a nearby village once?I think I'll be able to get to the capital tomorrow night. "

"Okay. So please."

That said, the conductor let the horse walk on a different path.
