Lord of Plenty

Why?

What kind of shit luck did he have?

Or was there something they didn't know? I heard that the relationship between the Marquise and the Marquis had always been bad, and that hair color was very different from the Alan family. I heard that the new Sword Saint had blonde hair?

In short, there were all kinds of rumors.

It wasn't until he came here in person, the Rich Territory, that Bal, who was from a similar family to Dawn, finally understood a little.

He saw the richness and vitality of the Rich Territory, which was in sharp contrast to what he had seen and heard along the way, which shocked him.

No matter how strong the Sword Saint was, he couldn't change the weather, couldn't stop the rain from falling, couldn't grow so much food, and couldn't make every resident in the territory well fed and clothed, with a look of happiness on their faces.

And it was less than a year before he left the capital.

"Rustle~"

No one spoke in the room, only the sound of letters being turned over.

The last letter sent by Catherine's cousin and the letter sent by Marquis Lawrence said almost the same thing.

They just got the news that the neighboring country of Artoria, which has been in constant friction with Dansu, actually hid a fourth-level mage!

The other party's purpose is self-evident, that is, to wait until the two countries officially go to war before playing this trump card, taking the opportunity to frustrate the military and civilians of the Kingdom of Dansu, so as to gain more advantages in the war.

But no one expected that Dansu, where no one has set foot in the hero field for two or three hundred years, would actually have a fourth-level swordsman at this moment. Seeing that the plan to frustrate the enemy's morale has failed, the other party also neatly showed this trump card and stabilized the situation between the two countries.

Not only that, perhaps he was very confident in the strength of this mage, or perhaps there was some other plan, the king of Artoria actually made a strange request to visit Dansu at this moment.

The king came in person, and the mage accompanied him!

And the king of Dansu actually agreed?

In the third letter, Catherine's cousin asked in a very official tone whether Dawn, the swordsman, could be sent to serve as the king's personal guard for a period of time, especially during the visit of the neighboring king.

Tsk, this letter was obviously not written by Catherine, because his cousin had never been so formal.

As for why it was not a direct transfer order from the royal family, but an inquiry, and the tone was so euphemistic?

Because the rule of the nobles on the mainland is that your vassal is not my vassal.

Simply put, the rights of the kingdom cannot be applied to the guardian knights pardoned by Kun.

As a noble of the kingdom, Kun has the obligation to protect the interests of the king, but Dawn does not have this obligation.

It's a bit confusing and a bit twisted.

But the rules of the nobles are like this, which is not in line with common sense.

The nobles have their own logically consistent theories.

As for the fact, these strange regulations will maximize the interests of the nobles in many cases.

The tone of Marquis Lawrence's letter was not so tactful. He directly asked Kun to send Dawn to serve as the deputy leader of the Skyfire Knights under his command.

As for the reason, the glory of the Alan family is the glory of Kun, what additional reason is needed?

And this is also one of the theories of the nobles that are both twisted and self-consistent.

Unfortunately, he, a great wizard who is above the second-rate and determined to climb to the first-rate, does not buy it.

"Swish~"

Kun picked up the pen and wrote a reply.

Cousin Catherine, or the royal family she represents, actually has a very simple request.

During the period when the enemy's lord visited the capital, a strong man of the same level was needed to calm the situation. Kun thought about it and simply agreed.

With Dawn's warlike temperament, even if Kun did not send him, he would rush to fight when he heard that a saint from another country came to provoke. After all, it has always been Dawn's wish to fight a fair battle with a fourth-level strongman.

Lord Kun is also a fourth-level lord, but after seeing how Kun used a great blessing to break the defense of the demigod undead, Dawn never mentioned challenging Kun again.

Anyway, it's all a matter of going with the flow, so it doesn't matter whether he agrees or not. He can also get the goodwill and favors of the royal family for free, so this deal is not a loss.

As for the order of Marquis Lawrence...

What did he say? Use magic to defeat magic.

Aren't you logically self-consistent? Don't blame me for being self-consistent for you.

Raising his head and looking at Bal who has been standing for a long time but has not moved, Kun shook the letter in his hand and said:

"Father, you think too highly of me. Although Sword Saint Dawn has sworn to become my guardian knight, his will is free and his body is free. I respect all his choices. I'm sorry that I can't make such a rash decision for Dawn."

Kun couldn't directly order Sword Saint Dawn.

After receiving this hint, Bal did not find it strange, or no one would think that Kun, a young lord, could really command a kingdom swordmaster at will.

Unless the Marquise really had some unclear relationship with that person, but this was impossible.

The great nobles of the kingdom were not stupid enough to let their bloodline be confused by their subordinates.

"Let's put it this way, Swordmaster Dawn will rush to the capital in the near future, and the Lord and the Mage of Altria will also visit the capital in the near future. I think Uncle Bal is also aware of this matter.

When the time comes, if Father wants to let Dawn serve as the deputy leader, or something else, I swear in the name of the Sky Goddess that I will never stand in the way. Moreover, if Father personally invites you, it will show more respect for the Sword Master, right? "

Seeing that the task was successfully completed, Barr said with satisfaction:

"The Viscount has thought it over carefully, so I will tell the leader this."

Tate, who was standing aside, couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

The Marquis is the young master's father. He has always been arrogant in front of the young master, and he doesn't think there is any problem at all.

But Dao En is different. He used to be the defeated general of the Marquis, but now he is the sword master of the kingdom, and his strength is higher than him. Whether the Marquis is willing to lower his dignity and invite a subordinate who has just been released from abroad is a matter of fact. is a problem.

In front of Dao En, it was absolutely impossible to stand up again.

There is a high probability that this matter will be nothing in the end. Even if the Marquis is really willing to let go and invite him personally, will Dawn be persuaded by him?

Why?

Because he is domineering? With his status as a marquis? Or is he inferior to Dawn due to his strength?

Tate left with Baal who said goodbye to Kun, and Kun released the royal messenger Wind Falcon.

"Dharma Saint, let alone Dao En, actually even I am a little curious."

This is not a fourth-level person who took his bloodline fusion potion and made it in batches, but a Dharma Saint who was promoted through strong promotion based on his own talent.

Even if it is unlikely to be the same promotion route as him, to awaken the second bloodline on his own, at the very least, he is a person with talent no less than Nia, who is still standing on the top of the mountain, Nia in her prime.

The point is still that he is a mage.

The farther you go on the devil's path, the fewer fellow travelers there are and the lonelier you become.

"You're curious too, aren't you, Falcole..."

"…His Majesty the Dharma Saint?"

Kun, who was by the window, turned back and looked at an empty place in the room, and said with a smile.

"Haha, please forgive me for being a bit technical, but even if I am promoted to the fourth level and only use third-level magic, I still cannot hide it from the discernment of the Archmage."

Falcole emerged from invisibility with a radiant face. Although he did not look any younger, his lifespan had actually been extended. Kun could clearly feel the surging vitality and magic power hidden under his old body.

"But I am still very curious. After I fell asleep and woke up, I asked myself that the defensive magic in the secret room was cracked and restored without any trace. When did the Archmage discover it?"

"Breathing, heartbeat, temperature, magic power fluctuations, mental space, external light, etc. There are too many flaws."

"Well……"

Falconer choked up at Kun's blunt statement. Is his magic so unbearable?

After making a gesture to Falcole to sit down, Kun sat down first and then said with a smile:

"Although this lord has been promoted to the fourth level first, his strength is only a little higher than that of His Excellency the Dharma Saint."

Kun made an action that might be blocked by the Greater Universe Nation. Regardless of whether the other party heard or understood his hint, he continued:

"For those 'outsiders' in the territory, one of their elders, who was as wise as Archmage Zelos Little, once said that if three people are walking together, there must be one who is my master.

If His Excellency the Dharma Saint has nothing to do, you might as well chat with these outsiders. Although these guys seem to be acting strangely, their understanding of the truth may not be weaker than yours and mine, and you may be able to gain something. "

"If there are three people walking together, must one of them be my master? I can't believe it at first, but when I think about it carefully, if a sage similar to Zelos said this, it would be really amazing."

Falcole clicked his tongue in surprise.

It is not unusual for people in high positions to climb up step by step from the place of low-ranking people, but what is rare is that they can still be so clear-headed even when they are in a high position.

Once a person reaches a high position, many things become natural.

Even for him, how long has it been since he stopped listening to the thoughts of the masters here and discussed the truth with them?

Even he couldn't remember clearly.

"So, now that you have been promoted to a saint, are you interested in going to the capital city to meet the Dharma Saint from a neighboring country?"

"I'm not interested. If I were seventy or eighty years younger, I might still have the idea of ​​fighting for this false reputation. Now..."

Falconer shook his head and said matter-of-factly:

"I am only interested in magic research now. No one wants me to waste my limited time on such boring things."

Kunpo said with some regret:

"That's a shame."

He originally wanted to fool Falcole, so he took the opportunity to watch the excitement.

Dao En, a sword master, went to the royal capital, so this fight might not be possible.

Even if the Dharma Saint believed in his own strength, the king of Artoria might not have the courage to really let them fight.

After all, the Dharma Saint is an artifact against the city, while the Sword Saint is against people.

If he wins this fight, there is no need to worry about it. If he loses, he may not be able to leave Dansu Kingdom in one piece.
