The Swordsman Called the Countless Swords Sorcerer

"Well, that's about to come."

Aldis cuts out next to twins wrapped in a mantle and sleeping.

Meadow at dawn. After leaving the city of Tria for more than the first night, the Ardiss were preparing for breakfast and talking about the future.

"I'm going to be a royal capital for the time being."

After walking about 5 days on the highway southwest from Tria, you will reach Gran, the capital of the Nagras Kingdom.

"You have three choices. Stay in the royal capital, go to the City-State Union, or go to the Empire."

To the west of the kingdom of Nagras, various small and medium-sized city states exist as independent states. They formed a modest alliance and formed a form of allied state.

In the southeast of the kingdom is the Emperor, the Emperor. Discord The country located in the southeastern part of the Robles continent has been linked to the Nagras kingdom for a long time, and has been frequent with fire in its history. Fukyuten Both countries still have their opponents as virtual enemy nations, so to speak.

"North is not an option?"

"What is that country ..."

Crossing the plains from Tria to the north, there is a country called the Bronchel Republic. It is a republic that chooses the president by election, although it is limited to the wealthy, and the country itself is rich, but it is one of the reasons that it is not a choice because it is an area with a strong male-female culture.

"If you go to the republic, you'll be nervous, because in that country you won't be recognized as a female mercenary."

Women rarely get a job in Bronchelle. Laws stipulate that only men can hold public office, and few privately employ women. Naturally, only men have the right to vote.

Aldis does not want to bring twins to such a country. That's why I didn't make it an option from the beginning.

"I don't think the empire is easy to live in. If you go abroad, you're probably a city-state union."

The Armenian Empire has a strong sense of nobility among the nobles, making it a poor country to live in. On the other hand, the city-state union has strong independence in each city and is open to various values. Inferior The weakness of the nation as a whole is a weakness, but it is unlikely to be a kingdom in terms of ease of living.

"First, look at the royal capital. If there is a captive order from the country, then go west to the city-state alliance."

Having decided on the policy for the time being, the Ardiss rested slowly during the day and began their journey after the night widened.

If you fly in the sky, it's better to be an unseen night, and sometimes you're on guard from Trier. With no sign of worried pursuers, the Ardiss flew to the sky overnight and reached the royal capital, where they hid themselves into a forest about two hours away.

Bed "First of all, for now"

Aldis cut it out.

I don't know how the captive drama in Tria passed to the royal capital. Of course, I don't think the information is coming sooner than the Ardis and others who flew. However, if arrangements were made in advance, it would not be possible to go to Nokonoko and the royal capital. It is better to gather information in the royal capital for a few days and hide.

In addition, Aldis or Nere should enter the royal capital alone to be able to escape immediately. A temporary base will be set up here, and one will collect information in the royal capital, and one will tell Nere the role of twin amulets here, and she will agree easily, "If my Lord says so."

"Nere keeps away the dangerous beasts around it, and also asks for food prey."

"Ok, my lord."

Although not as good as the Caucasus Forest, it is a place where no one can access. There must be a carnivorous beast. Annihilation You don't have to go around, but you don't want to get close. Pumping Nere will be good at driving Aldes to drive away the beast.

"Well, this is a base."

"Aldis, do you make a house?"

"Aldis, big house?"

The twins have plenty of sleep during the day and are fine despite the night. I'm curious about Aldis.

"It's more a hut than a house, it's a make. It's fine if you keep the rain and wind off."

With a little time left before dawn, Aldis floated around with faint magical light that had been adjusted to prevent it from being too bright, and began to magically dig up disturbing trees.

Excessive leaves and roots are cut off by wind, and the logs are piled on a foundation made by compressing the soil firmly. Raw wood Use it without drying it, but it's a temporary house anyway. Time is regrettable now.

The ceiling was lined up with logs and closed, and a board made of hardened soil was lined up to keep out the rain. The cut leaves are magically dried and spread inside instead of a bed.

The double-sword beast, sometimes approached by the sound and light, hunts lightly with a short sword that Aldis flies. The twins came together during the work, but he continued to work without worrying about it rather than leaving the side poorly and being attacked by twin sword beasts.

Less than two hours later, Aldis created a temporary base and walked down with a twinkling twin into the light.

(At least the floor should have been flattened)

Despite the fact that they are covered with dried leaves, they frown on uncomfortable sitting comfort. When several additional trees are cut down, they are cut into plates and spread all over the room.

"I'm back, my lord."

Meanwhile, Nere came back. Both hands have their own prey hanging for meals.

"Sorry, how did you feel?"

"Don't be too tough. You don't have to worry too much. There was a swamp nearby. The water there is dirty and unusable, but there is probably no groundwater because there is no river. It seems worth digging a well. "

"Well? Well, let's dig tomorrow. Rest for today."

"Keep the dismantling of the guys first. Let my Lord rest first."

He raised his prey in his hand to the height of his chest, and Nere went outside.

The night will soon disappear. It takes about an hour until the sun rises.

(When the sun rises, make a breakfast. Dig a well. Surround the hut with fences. Explore the surroundings. Eliminate dangerous beasts. And then ... Or

Aldis wrapped in his cloak and began to sleep, feeling Nerre outside the hut.

The next day, Aldis and Nere begin to prepare the temporary hut and the surrounding living environment.

After the sun had risen completely, Nere had a late breakfast with the meat that had been cut down and started working.

"First is a well."

When Aldis explores the area around the hut with magic, water starts to appear on the third. We will dig a few more and prepare wells where the water quality is the highest and the amount of water is large.

Lattice After that, the surrounding trees are additionally cut down, divided by an appropriate length, and a diagonally combined fence is stretched around the hut.

Since the abundant magic power is doing things by magic, it takes at most three hours to finish the well and fence, but if you do this as usual with human power it will probably take more than ten days . The twins, who did not know that the scene unfolding in front of them were insane, were delighted while shining at the new facilities being added one after another.

"Aldis, what's next?"

"Aldis, make a big deal!"

"I'll make it again later."

"Well!"

The twins inflate their cheeks dissatisfied.

His expression has become much richer than when he first met. When I was in Tria, I was afraid of the public, but humans would not come here.

Considering that, it may be better to make these places a home rather than a city. Of course it is a matter of ensuring the safety of the twins.

(I'll make a garden and playground later ...)

With one extra tomorrow in mind, Ardis calls out to Nere.

"Look a little around. Take care of Philia and Liana."

"My Lord, I'll go if you're exploring or beasting."

Azusa: "No, I want to keep my surroundings in mind.

Aldis leaves it and enters the forest. Ardis walked about 30 minutes on foot from the hut, treating the occasional carnivorous beast.

As Nere said, there was a swamp in the nearby area, and unusually aquatic creatures such as "Karaushi" and "crawlers" in the forest. But the only thing that has changed is that much. Kinds of beasts that come across-to the Ardis-were insignificant opponents and no monsters were found.

On the other hand, the only people who come to these places are mercenaries. Because it is far from the highway, peddlers and travelers will not get lost.

It is just good to make a temporary base. Aldis picked up two small beasts as souvenirs and returned to the hut while the sky was bright.

The next day, Ardis builds a twin playground inside the fence, leaving Nere to leave again and enters the forest. Beasts that could be dangerous for the twins show off their overwhelming power and drive away the fools who are still heading.

In addition, they will actively hunt for their prey. Food left over from Tria is still there, but it is difficult to go hunting with twins while visiting the royal capital. Now that both Aldis and Nere are present, some reserve is needed.

Fortunately, they have a foul-class power when it comes to magic. Easy It was only with the help of Aldis and others to build a warehouse out of ice for food preservation and keep it.

Five days have passed since we left Tria. It is the number of days it takes a peddler on foot to get from Trier to the royal capital. Of course, the messenger horse should have arrived long ago. It's a good time to enter the royal capital and explore how Tria's story is transmitted.

"Nele. Don't ask me to take care of my absence and twins."

"Ok, my lord. Leave it to me."

To keep the twins here, either Aldis or Nere need to remain. Either way is fine, but Aldis wants to remain emotionally.

However, if the Ardiss were arranged in the royal capital in one case of Tria, it would not be noticeable. When I thought so, Nere's appearance was eye-catching.

As a result, Aldis decided to go to the capital city. Fortunately, the twins have become accustomed to Oita Nere, so there is no worry about leaving him for a while. The trust in Nere's personality is much higher than before.

"Return is tomorrow evening or night"

"Aldis, come on!"

"Aldis, don't forget your souvenir!"

Aldis walks through the woods with "" with the twins seeing off. It must be a time when the gate of the royal city has not been opened yet. Fortunately, I did not encounter any humans walking along the highway. Undiscovered, Aldis continued to walk forty minutes along the highway, arriving at the northern gate of the royal capital.

Gran, the capital city of Nagras. With a population of about 300,000, it is the largest city in the Kingdom of Nagras and one of the largest cities on the Robles continent.

Scenic Situated south of the Canobis Mountains, Gran, like Tria, is very famous as a seafront city. It is located at the intersection of the main road that crosses the Robles continent and the road that continues to the southeastern continent.If you go northeast along the road, you will reach the Bronchelle Republic via Tria, the west to the Union of City-States, and the southeast to the Armenian Empire. It is a key point.

Gran, which has long been a thriving city of trade, has attracted continents, goods and enormous wealth. Engraving The power of Gran has been a city-state, but it has grown into a vast kingdom.

The royal capital consists of an old town with houses from the city-state era and a new town that has been newly expanded after the establishment of the kingdom. The old town and the new town were separated by walls surrounding the old town. The wall is a remnant of a city wall from the city-state era.

At first, the site was a new town with a lot of room, but it was said that the population of Gran has continued to increase, and that there is already little room for development. Some say that some of the outer walls should be expanded, but the enormous costs and the current uncertain airflow to and from the empire did not seem to allow it easily. .

Aldis walked at normal speed toward the outer wall, recalling what he had heard from Norris.

In front of the gate, a soldier was just preparing to open the gate.

(Now, suddenly, you have to use it at the gate ...)

Concealing the tension, Aldis approached the gatekeeper.

"Are you going soon?"

"Oh, wait a minute. I'll be ready soon."

When the gatekeeper looks at Aldis's face, he answers without changing his attitude. It doesn't seem to be at least as far as the gatekeeper.

Aldis waited until he was ready to open the gate, staring at the surroundings.

"I came very early in the morning."

Probably ready. The gatekeeper speaks.

"I really wanted to enter the royal capital by yesterday night. I was just attacked by Glaswolf halfway and I wasn't in time for closing the gate."

"Hey, that was a disaster. Well, well ... well, are you a mercenary?"

"Do you look like a peddler?"

"As expected ... I can't see it as a peddler."

The gatekeeper says with a good smile.

"Yes, you're a young mercenary, but you're a good mercenary. But isn't it dangerous to camp alone? We can't afford to delay the closing time, but we can't camp in front of the gate It's closed, there's a night watchman and a bonfire, so it's safer than camping out in the open.

With a friendly gatekeeper attitude, Aldis's caution was somewhat relaxed. Aldis pays a tax called the "gate tax" that is collected when entering the city, and Aldis goes through the formalities.

In the meantime, caravans and mercenaries departing from the royal capital pass by one another one by one. The number of people who depart early in the morning should have been called the royal capital.

"Okay, good. Is this your first time entering the royal capital? If so, I have to give some precautions."

"No, I know because I've been before"

"Yes, then I have nothing to say."

Say thanks to the gatekeeper and step into the royal capital wrapped in the air of the early morning.

(First, confirm your departure and secure your inn tonight.)

Aldis disappeared into the backstreet, watching the surroundings.
