Chapter 124: Preparation (II)
It felt like everyone was rushing on the streets on a rainy day, and it was already past noon when I got back to the Wings headquarters.
Sean pulls Frelia into the room alone and tells her what the Grand Duke has said, especially the stories about the murder of a witch......
"Do you think it's true?" asked Sean.
Looking at the other party's frowning expression, it seems that he has been [thinking!].
"I haven't heard of it, so I don't know. However, since it is the news that the Grand Duke said, there should be no falsehood...... There are still many things in this world that we don't know, and most people just can't go out and see them in their lifetime. ”
Sean had rarely seen Frelia say such things, and it seemed that the story touched her.
108 people.
just disappeared out of thin air, there is no record in the history books, what happened to those who recorded it?
Speaking of the recorder, Sean suddenly remembered that he hadn't been to them in the city, and wondered if he could get something from those scholars.
"Sean. Frelia said suddenly.
"......Huh?
"Don't go this time, stay at the headquarters with peace of mind, I'll keep people in touch and I'll tell you if there's anything." ”
It's really unexpected, how did the two people I met today tell themselves not to go.
"And what's your arrangement?"
"Prince Philip asked me and Wizard Ai Xiu to go with the Black Feather Knight, because it was inconvenient for too many people to walk on a rainy day, so it could only be reduced to three thousand, and it is estimated that these three thousand will have to advance in batches on the road, if you don't adapt to that environment, it's best not to go." ”
Frelia's statement somewhat piqued Sean's self-esteem.
He is not one of those nobles who has not been drenched in the rain, even if he is on foot, Sean is confident that he will not be worse than those wizards, but at the moment he really has no desire to go, since they don't want to go by themselves, then let's not go.
Sean didn't refute......
This made Frelia actually appear in a state of [Lost!].
..............................
The time for the Wings of the Sky to set off was the next morning, and they left together with a group of people who had come to greet them.
Sean wasn't there at the time, and Frelia had even come to the door of her room before leaving...... It's just that I didn't knock on the door, probably because I thought I was still sleeping.
However, Sean had already sat down and looked at the entire map of Rietis, which could be seen by Frelia leaving and the soldiers from the Prince's Palace, and he estimated that some people were waiting outside the city, after all, the streets would be clogged if too many people walked from the city.
And the news of the Grand Duke also came with the departure of everyone......
Sean originally thought that the Grand Duke was asking people to invite him over, but he didn't expect to ask people to send a letter.
And in the letter, he told himself that Rjetis and Saidia City would issue a mercenary recruitment order in the future, so that the civil forces would also join, and in the letter, the Grand Duke also specifically mentioned that he hoped that he could go to Saidia City to take charge of the mercenaries.
to the Grand Duke's city.
If you go in, isn't it like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth, and what to do at that time is not up to you.
Because in Rietis's words, at least there are wings that cover the sky to protect him, and Prince Philip is not as obvious as he thought before about competing with the Grand Duke for noble resources.
Every time it seems that the Grand Duke is pushing behind his back, and His Royal Highness the Prince is the kind that has been in a passive state.
It's like it's been boiling......
After all, the Grand Duke is so old, maybe he will be angry and ruined one day.
Therefore, Prince Philip does not seem to be in a hurry at all, as long as the Grand Duke falls, it will be difficult for his heir to establish his prestige among the southern nobles in a short period of time, and at that time, even in order to survive, many nobles will fall to the side of the prince.
Factional struggles can be seen everywhere, so until now, Sean has not noticed that the prince has any rebellious moves, but the open and secret struggle between the two has always been the focus of the nobles' wait-and-see.
It is estimated that many nobles have the same thoughts as themselves, and they are all observing.
In the end, whoever wins will fall to whomever it is, and although it is not good to be a wall grass, it can live for a long time!
Anyway, they were insignificant figures in the struggle between the two, and now they felt that they might be able to call the man who could move the wings of the sky, but Frelia could not be such a close person!
So Sean didn't listen to anyone, and didn't reply to the letter about letting him go to Saidia City, but continued to do his own thing.
Practice magic every day, and then ask Karjana for magic knowledge.
During this time, Sean looked through the magic books left behind by Lucille, many of which were spells......
There should be thousands of spells in a whole book.
I don't know how Lucille memorized it, Sean hasn't been able to memorize it all so far, but which kind of magic is recorded and then classified, but it has been figured out, if you can use it at that time, you can directly open the magic book and use it.
The day after Frelia left, the heavy rain finally came to an end.
It's not sunshine yet, it's just gloomy weather......
Taking advantage of this good weather, Sean once again came to the Erudito Library, this time to learn about the situation in the southeastern region.
To Sean's surprise, the branch of the Recorder in Rietis turned out to be the same building as the Erudito Library!
In other words, these archaeologists, historians, and cultural geographers are all the same people......
There are not many people in the library as always, because the little brother in the store here actually remembered himself after the last time he came, and he greeted him and laughed when he met.
"What do you want to sell this time?"
"Find me some literature on the history of Tacoma City in the Southeast, preferably someone who can understand it. Sean said.
Since this is a place where recorders and polymaths exist at the same time, there should be scholars of history.
really
A moment after the shopkeeper left, a voice interrupted Sean's thoughts.
"Your Excellency wants to learn about the history of Tacoma City?"
Sean looked up, and the person who appeared in front of him was actually an acquaintance.
Harry Wallep......
Although the two have only met once, Sean has a deep memory of the noble name Wallep recently.
"We're meeting again, sir!" said a surprised look on his face, but Harry didn't show any signs of relevance, apparently the other party had come over after seeing that it was him.
"Do you know anything about the Tacoma area?" Sean said.
It doesn't matter who comes from, as long as you can answer your own questions.
"Did you ask about what happened recently?" said the other man suddenly.
"What's going on...... late?"
Sean actually doesn't like such a smart person, but being able to be a smart person must also have something good about him.
"Recently, the major mercenary teams have spread all over the world, and it is said that the prince and the grand duke suddenly issued a mission to investigate near the Tacoma area...... In fact, the Mercenary Guild has not received any news from there in the past half a month. ”
