Episode 105. Imperial business trip (2)
A voice that pierces my ears sonorously.
I opened my eyes.
A gorgeous underground space appeared before my eyes.
The imperial moving magic circle I saw for the first time.
I’m really jealous.
The secret of the moving magic circle that I am learning these days.
Even quantum mechanics could not keep up.
The more I learned about the mystical language of runes and magic circles, the more difficult they became.
If I didn’t have the new skills of using nature guardians, I wouldn’t have thought of learning them.
I turned my eyes and looked back at the smiling man.
Around them, imperial guard knights wearing red cloaks stand like stone statues.
Even though I came, there was no movement.
Since the moving magic circle has been opened, we are doing our best to defend ourselves.
Unlike those knights, a man wearing a pure white robe is smiling.
Age is mid 40s.
“My name is Baron Berton, and I am in charge of the magic circle today.”
Most wizards in the Imperial Magic Tower had titles.
The owner of the tower is a duke.
The elder level is a marquis or earl.
If you’re a Baron, you’re a pretty useful wizard.
“Thank you for your hospitality, Baron Berton.”
“Of course it is something to do. Let’s go outside. “The attendants are waiting.”
The wizard seems to be busy.
People come from all over the empire to celebrate the emperor’s birthday.
He made room for me.
“It is an honour. Count Frauche de Raisel, Lord Elthodion.”
Two neat-looking attendants were waiting.
Since they were both imperial servants, they were wearing servant uniforms made of high-quality materials.
“You seem busy today.”
“That’s right. “Many nobles have already arrived and are continuing to arrive.”
The Emperor’s Birthday, which occurs only once a year.
It is one of the two major holidays along with the Empire Foundation Day.
“Count. Would you like to stay in the accommodation provided by the imperial family until the banquet? Or would you rather stay at home outside?”
After hearing the servant’s words, I decided to go outside.
If I’m alone, I can stay in the palace.
However, country knights will get a herniated disc while greeting nobles at the palace.
And there are things to do outside.
“I’m going out, so please guide me. “What do you plan to do, Lord Elthodion?”
“I have to part ways here for a moment. “I think I should meet my father and see him.”
“Thank you for today.”
“no. The Count is always welcome. then… … .”
Saying hello, Elsodion headed to where the Marquis was.
It’s time for me to leave too.
however.
Grumble.
The knights stood there drooling, mesmerized by the enormity and majesty of the splendid imperial palace.
My body trembled when I saw the maids passing by.
It’s like seeing my old self.
“Don’t move.”
“!!!”
The two knights came to their senses when they were told to move.
I braced my shoulders and stood behind him.
The servant led us outside.
The imperial magic tower occupied an important position in the spacious imperial palace.
I raised my head.
The head of Raizel Palace can be faintly seen in the distance.
thud! thud!
My heart is racing.
Unfortunately, not today.
After gathering myself, I came out of the palace.
however.
Hehehe.
A cold wind blew.
It’s still early spring, so the days are cold.
I suddenly realized a disconcerting reality.
The fact that the group had no horses to ride or anywhere to go.
Other nobles either stay at the palace or have their families send carriages to take them.
But when we came, we left our horses at the marquis’s house.
I don’t know anyone here, let alone my family.
ah! There is.
Merchant Roll.
But now I am no longer the person I used to be.
A count cannot stay in a merchant’s house.
“Chuung!”
The outer castle guards salute after seeing the red cloak bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor.
Their number reaches hundreds.
“Please take a look.”
The attendant also shouted goodbye.
I was greeted as if I was being kicked out of the imperial palace.
I miss Perorin.
The two foolish knights are busy looking around.
My foolish knights who don’t know what to do with their eyes open and their noses cut off.
“Gyeongdeul, is there anything that comes to mind?”
“yes?”
So, am I asking for too much?
A teacher who came to Seoul with elementary school students from an island village must feel this way.
“Where is my horse?”
Mental education was needed.
“!!!”
The knights came to their senses and their faces turned pale.
I now know how disrespectful my lord is being treated.
“Master, we are incompetent! Please kill me!”
ah… … The dog is embarrassed.
The soldiers on the castle wall are watching.
First, I left the outer castle and walked.
There are very few people passing by on the street in front of the imperial palace.
Attic attic attic.
Two-headed and four-headed carriages ridden by nobles came and went.
There is no carriage to stop.
Tak tak tak tak.
At that time, a carriage passed by like a savior.
A private carriage ridden by commoners.
The two-headed carriage could only be used by knights or older.
“Stop.”
I couldn’t trust the drivers, so I stopped the carriage.
Heeeeeeee.
The carriage stopped.
“What’s going on? lily.”
When the coachman came out and saw the drivers, he hurriedly got off the coach seat and bowed his head.
A pathetic carriage pulled by a parched horse.
A tattered door and an old carriage came into view.
small and narrow
I can’t tell between cold and hot food right now.
“Please guide me to accommodations where nobles can stay.”
“Sir, is this a carriage that only commoners ride? Is it okay? It’s an honor for me, but still… … .”
Not knowing the circumstances, the coachman looks sad.
“Don’t worry. “Let’s go quickly.”
“Get on.”
The coachman even opened the door.
got into the carriage.
I feel like I want to get out of this place quickly.
The drivers also rode together.
That moment.
“ha.”
A short sigh came out.
The interior of the carriages that commoners ride are in disrepair.
A chair made of wooden planks.
It’s so narrow that the three of us can see each other’s faces.
It feels like three hell spears are riding in an old model Tyco.
“We’re leaving.”
The coachman shouted excitedly.
“Hey!”
Heeeeeeee.
With a loud voice… … .
Creak, creak, creak.
The carriage moved almost at a crawl.
It’s armor that has been enchanted, but armor is armor.
There were three big men riding there.
It was easier to be led by a horse.
“Wow… … .”
“oh my god!”
Meanwhile, two country knights forget their identities and just open their mouths and let out exclamations.
I closed my eyes tightly.
I lived comfortably as a permanent resident.
While serving as Sir Perorin’s assistant, I made a ridiculous mistake.
I, the imperial servant and count, would never have imagined that there would not be a mansion and carriage in the imperial capital.
There was a difference between being smart and having a lot of social experience.
Today I reflected on who I am today.
Tak tak tak tak.
I closed my eyes the whole way.
“Nari, we have arrived.”
Finally, the carriage stopped.
One gold coin has already been given.
It fell like the wind.
The knights followed suit and disembarked.
The luxurious boulevard of the imperial capital as far as the eye can see.
It was tall and gorgeous.
All the empire’s supplies were gathered.
As a street that deals with aristocrats and wealthy merchants, there is no trash.
Medieval stone buildings of at least three stories arranged on the left and right.
It resembles an important historic medieval European city.
“Wow… … .”
Meanwhile, the foolish knights were on the verge of having their mouths torn apart.
Next time, even if the territory is destroyed, I think I will have to bring Sir Perorin.
Jump and jump.
I led the young knights and headed to the most luxurious inn on the main street.
I saw a sign that said ‘The Resting Place of the Elf Queen’.
The exterior is so splendid that the queen stayed there.
“welcome.”
At the entrance, I was greeted by a middle-aged man who looked like a servant from a noble family.
“Are you three staying overnight?”
“I would like two high-end rooms, please.”
“All right.”
I wasn’t surprised when they said it was top quality.
It was a natural reaction since I mainly dealt with nobles.
“A lot of nobles are here today, so I would appreciate it if you would be careful not to bump into the knights.”
Attention has been received.
It seems like I came by carriage.
Red cloaks, eaten in the countryside, were also common in the imperial capital.
“No, we… … .”
The knights were about to get angry.
I didn’t want to have an accident today.
“i get it.”
“I will show you to your room. The accommodation fee for both rooms is 10 golden coins in imperial currency.”
“Ugh!”
“1, 10 goldens?”
The knights were desperate.
A large amount of money that far exceeds their annual salary.
I was shocked to learn that the fee for one night was a gold coin that I had never touched in my life.
“… … .”
The employee frowns slightly.
They seem to be checking to see if they have any money.
The embarrassment should end here.
“Pay in advance.”
“We will treat you with the best!”
As soon as I took out my pocket, the employee’s response changed.
Earth or here… … Money is the best!
***
“welcome.”
Magic Tower shopping mall located near the inn.
As we entered the gray-white three-story stone building, a hospitality wizard appeared.
On the first floor, various magical weapons emitted dazzling light.
At a glance, you can see that they are expensive decorations.
It is a dazzling product that is not very practical.
The current address of Magic Tower, which eats its fill by beating up idiots.
“Knight. Are you here to buy magic items? “Most of the items you see are luxury items made with great care at Magic Tower.”
A male wizard in his late 30s.
It smelled more like a merchant than a wizard.
Four golden lines can be seen on the sleeves.
The 4th circle wizard looks at me like a fool.
“I would like to obtain a book of teleport coordinates.”
“yes? A coordinate book?”
A wizard with a stiff face and a shocked expression.
“The teleport coordinate book is one of the magic items strictly managed by the Magic Tower. If you want, get it from the Imperial Palace Magic Tower. “I can’t sell it.”
As expected, the coordinate book was not treated carelessly.
This is important data that will be useful in war.
“My name is written on the gate of the Magic Tower. “Isn’t that okay?”
I changed my tone of voice.
Peace negotiations are now over.
“Stop it. To have your name written on the gate of the Magic Tower, you must be a wizard of the 4th circle or higher! “If you look down on the Magic Tower any longer, I will not remain silent.”
Pababat.
The energy of not only the responding wizard but also the wizards around him was sensed.
An atmosphere that will create magic if the circumstances arise.
The wizard’s gaze is cold.
“Obviously, Lord Redford of the Magic Tower personally told me that he would engrave it on the door of the Magic Tower. “Is that false?”
“!!!”
“Do you think I ignore you? “It seems to me that you are ignoring it.”
“??”
“I am Frauche de Raisel, Count of the Grand Caesar Empire.”
“Huh!”
I responded clearly and informally.
The face of the responding wizard turned white.
There is no one in the empire who does not know me, the eighth sword master.
“Count Frausch, Gerius’ younger brother?”
He asks me with a skeptical expression.
“right.”
“sorry. Count Frausch.”
The responding wizard immediately lowered his head.
An attitude not seen in self-respecting wizards.
“An official letter was sent asking you to cooperate with the matter regarding the Count.”
“Thank you.”
“Please wait a moment. “The coordinate book is an important item, so you must report it to the higher-ups for permission.”
If you can’t do it here, get it from Brother Gerius.
I only stopped by the Magic Tower briefly because I was in the imperial capital.
My status has risen a lot.
And after a while.
The wizard came out holding a thick-looking book.
“The coordinate book was so large that we could not prepare it in detail. Here are the coordinates for a safe location in the center of the territory, including the capitals and marquises of each empire and kingdom. “Be careful because there are many places where magic circles that disrupt the mana field are installed.”
“Thank you very much. “You always feel indebted to the Magic Tower.”
“I’m personally curious, but why is this coordinate book… … .”
“I plan to invite a high-ranking wizard to the territory soon. Good luck.”
I answered briefly and left the Magic Tower branch.
As soon as I came out, I opened the coordinate book and looked for a place to safely teleport to the imperial capital.
“It’s an expensive place.”
I was about to sigh.
The place where you can safely teleport in the Imperial Capital is a place lined with mansions.
It may be illegal in the imperial capital, but it seems they turned a blind eye to protecting the privacy of high-ranking nobles.
After quenching my appetite, I returned to the inn.
at that time!
“How dare a country fief knight rebel against Viscount Oderon’s knight? “You guys are crazy!”
Country knight?
XX… … . Something happened!
