"Hey, I said, what's your full name?"

"Sir August Dupan. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"Oh, you're a nobleman?"

"I am the last descendant of the ,,,,, Auguste,,,,, Sir Dipper,,, my father,,,,, Auguste,,,,, long gone,,,,,"

"Translate this, Dipan," in the City of Fish, the City of Iron, and the City of Trees, there are three lovely little trees, and they are, the crystallization of wisdom. "I can only understand so much"

"Well, thank you, Sir Dipan. "Oh,,,, don't call me Sizz,,, just call me Dipan,,,,,,"

Rhodok, "Hey, what are you doing?" "We're ,,,,,"

The border guard interrogated the group

"Merchants of Rhodok Viruga, we have a few good blankets to transport to the city!" said Bandak, thrusting 200 dinars into the guard

"Ah, you're definitely serious businessmen, go over!"

"Thank you, sir. ”

"City of Trees,,,,,,,,,,,,,," Avala pondered as she rode a horse

"Hey, boy, what are you bothering about?" Bandak asked him

"Do you know where there are many trees, old man?"

"Hey, you're still from Rhodok! You don't even know ,,, of course it's Aaron City!"

"I worked as a lumberjack there when I was younger! It was a great time,,,,,, sorry for the distance. ”

"Oh. "Deepan, why are you stammering?" Manid asked curiously

"Ah,,, I'm sorry,,,, I don't know,,,,,, I often talk and talk ,,,, I can't speak,,,, it's like a machine ,,,,,, can't work ,,,,,,,,,,,,,"

"Mechanical?" "I don't ,,,, know what it ,,,,,is,,,,, but I ,,, like ,,, ,,,, knows"

The gloomy weather in Calradia did not affect the growth of the trees, but instead of being green, they were yellow.

"Hey, it's finally here, and it's getting dark, so let's find a tavern to rest here. ”

There seemed to be something in the bushes, and "????" Avala noticed something unusual

",,,,,,,What's wrong with you, Captain?" "Ah, nothing, just a little absent-minded. "I'm going to investigate the puzzle tomorrow morning, so go to bed early!"

The four of them returned to their rooms

It's late at night――――――――――

"Click-oh" There was a strange sound outside the window

Knock! Knock!

Avala's house was the closest and the most audible

"Damn! It's only 4 o'clock, MD has the energy to make trouble tomorrow!" Looking out the window, a man in a hat was chopping wood with an axe

The man seemed to hear it, and put down his axe, and sat down on a wooden mound to rest

"Hey, sleep. ”

It didn't take long for "Knock! Knock!"

“**。 Avala couldn't help but walk out of the room

Dawn has just arrived

It's still dark outside

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Avala shouted at the man

“，，，，，，，，”

He was silent

Avala walked in, "What are you doing?????

The man jerked back

Raising his axe, he slashed at Avala's head without saying a word

"Holy!" Avala had half of her hair cut off

"It's too dangerous, it's almost there. Avala was terrified

He fixed his eyes and saw what kind of "person" this was, which was a few pieces of wood

"I ,,,,,,," Avala was speechless

"Who are you? Oak, I don't like you, you make me and my companions uncomfortable. ”

"Huh?" Avala hadn't reacted yet, "Ever since someone like you appeared, the weather has been gloomy, and I don't like you, and neither do my friends. ”

Avala understood that he might have mistaken him for the Shadow Infantry

It's dawn, "Why didn't you fight back ,,,, ,,,,,,?"

Oak asked hesitantly, "I think you're right." ”“，，，，，，，”

"Alas. With a thud, he threw the axe to the ground

"You know, since I came here, I've been considered a freak, people don't like me."

"My father, who didn't think I could have human feelings, was so indignant that I ran away from home. ”

"I've been chopping firewood around here for more than a decade, and I want to go out and see what my father said. ”

"Perhaps,,,,,, I can take you?" Avala asked him

"Really?" "It's true. ”

"Wow! Oak is happy! Oak never has any friends!"

Avala felt that he was overexcited

"I could stand all night without eating, I just used a little lime ,,,,, water or something. ”

"Take the oak tree with you. ”

"Hmm," Avala agreed, "by the way,,,,, who will give birth to a wooden man???!!!"

"It's so spicy! Oak is going to say goodbye to people! I'm going on an adventure!!!"

"Hey, boy, where have you been?" ”

"Friend?" "A tree, to be exact,,,,,"

"So, you've solved the puzzle?" Manid asked, walking over to him

"Well,,,,,,, so to speak. ”

"Next one is, the City of Fish. "Ahh Manid shouted with joy

"??"The place where I made my first pot of gold, Welkeg, the territory of the Nords. ”

"What month is it?" "I don't know, it's June." "No,,,, you can't use the usual ones for ,,,, month now. ”

"Oh?" "It's supposed to be ,,,,, Locust Moon,,,, we're going to ,,,,, to the coast before the Plague Moon,,, and then we're going north to avoid the Plague Moon." "After a six-day journey, the five men came to Fort Tilbaut in the second month of the locust month

"Well, how far is it from Werkeg?"

"Dipan ,,,, thinks ,,,,, will be there tomorrow morning,,,,,"

"Shh――――――h ”

Dismounted

"Who is it?" Manid asked, "I don't know, five in robes, one in equipment I haven't seen before, and some ordinary soldiers." ”

"Wait! What are they doing?"

The men dragged out the corpses, and the leader began to chant something in a Shinto manner

What happened next

Let them renew their perception of this continent

The corpse stood up like that, its eyes misty, its limbs stiff, and its pupils radiating uneasy calm

"I said, what is this?" "Hey, be quiet!"

Manid screamed, catching their attention

"Gan, how blessed you are!" Bandak scoffed

"Shh――――――h ”

Avala tucked her dagger into her sleeve and walked straight over

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are just merchants, look, what do you want?"

The man in the strange armor in the lead took a bone staff made of human heads and whipped him

"Hehe, don't be flamboyant, I think your head on your shoulder is good!"

"You can't get anything from me!" "What?"

"Oh, except for my sword, when he sticks it in your chest!" Avala drew her dagger

A sword sealed his throat, and Manid next to him pulled out his sword and stabbed him in the abdomen

The oak tree burst out of the shadows, and with a great axe, chopped the robed men to pieces

"There's someone from afar!" Dippan loaded his bullets, and "bang" "bang" fired two shots in succession, and the two shadows fell

Bandak half-crouched, put the siege crossbow on his lap, "Bang!" The dull crossbow string flicked open, and a silver light flashed

Several soldiers on the opposite side were pierced by the giant crossbow and smashed to pieces

"What is this? Dipan, do you recognize it?" "No, Dipan doesn't know ,,,, doesn't know ,,,, isn't used to asking them what they smell like. ”

"Alert! Hell, something will come out in a moment. ”

As he spoke, several sharp arrows came at him

,,,,,,,, an arrow hit Avala's plate armor

Simply this plate armor cannot be pierced by crossbow arrows

But he still felt a sharp pain

"Who?" said several shadows on horseback in the distance

"It's dangerous for so many people to carry so much money!"

It turned out to be a bandit from Vecchia

"Damn, why are there another batch. ”

Avala rode the old traveling horse and rushed towards the bandits

A dense rain of arrows quickly knocked down the horse

But it didn't hurt Avala in the slightest, not even his plate armor penetrated

"Hah, a family heirloom, lucky enough to be worth at least 2,000 dinars!"

In the distance, the sound of trees trembling could be heard in the forest

A white light flashed, and the leading soldier was shot in the eyebrows, fell from his horse, rolled on the mountain bag a few times, and fell

An arrow hit Avala's plate armor right on

Simply this plate armor cannot be pierced by crossbow arrows

But he still felt a sharp pain

"Who?" said several shadows on horseback in the distance

"It's dangerous for so many people to carry so much money!"

It turned out to be a bandit from Vecchia

"Damn, why are there another batch. ”

Avala rode the old traveling horse and rushed towards the bandits

A dense rain of arrows quickly knocked down the horse

But it didn't hurt Avala in the slightest, not even his plate armor penetrated

"Hah, a family heirloom, lucky enough to be worth at least 2,000 dinars!"

In the distance, the sound of trees trembling could be heard in the forest

A white light flashed, and the leading soldier was shot in the eyebrows, fell from his horse, rolled on the mountain bag a few times, and fell

"So, why did you fall ????"

"My family was originally in the service of the lord of Zhivadin, that is, the king of Vicchia, Yarogerk. ”

"Then my father, who I did not want to mention by name, married another woman, whom she considered his son

was the heir, and then poisoned my hound with plate oil, after which I ran away from home. ”

"And your soldiers?" "These are mostly the sons of the minor nobles of Vekia, who volunteered to follow me, and now I am a bounty hunter. ”

"Your father is a Black Knight?" "I've always wanted to rely on a strong team, and I think if I build a team myself

My stepmother-sama will stop at nothing to kill me, so your party is a good place to stay, and I can provide you with my private soldiers

Falcon Guards, I've only trained 10 people since I left the house too early, but if you can support my name, I can train you more soldiers. ”

"A strong force is exactly what we need, and it's important for you to join us. ”

"Okay, Captain, we're ready to go. ”

At night, Sagos, the capital of the Kalad Empire.

Live the life of Riley.

Even if the power of the empire began to slowly weaken, the treasury began to make ends meet, the landlords began to annex the land, bullying the weak, and the trumpets of the north and east were getting closer and closer, the king of the empire was still indifferently enjoying his 60th birthday banquet.

Despite the fact that the empire was already in the storm and crumbling, the old king never seemed to care, and he recklessly spent the dinar that his previous kings had accumulated in the treasury, sent troops to let them run wild in the villages, and gave the lords some dehumanizing privileges. He is so murderous, arbitrary, moody, such a shameless scumbag, he is worthy of being the master of all Calradia!

"Oh, sing a message for you, my king, you are wise and powerful......."

The bards were playing him a poem dedicated to the king, and he was singing so emotionally, so beautifully.

"Yes, our king is exactly as the poem says!" said a nobleman, who was fat like a fat pig, munched on a large piece of roast meat in his hand.

"Yes, yes, my lord is right!hahahaha---" The bard bowed, then turned around, and rolled his eyes silently. However, although he looked down on these fat pigs who were reincarnated, in order to survive, he was forced to continue to do what he spurned the most.

"Well------ ladies and gentlemen, you are all confidants of this king! This king is now 60 years old, and I invite you to come to share the joy of this king with you!"

"Hahaha,,, congratulations to the king on his 60th birthday, may he live a long life!"

"May he live a long life!"

The nobles were about to drink when suddenly, with a bang, a soldier stumbled in.

I saw him raise his head and look at the king in front of him. Suddenly, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, please!" he fell to his knees, his face dusty mixed with sweat and tears, and the poor officer looked panicked and tired, and said incoherently, "Those hillbillies must be crazy...... Everywhere, these usually fragile ants actually ...... our most elite Thirteenth Legion"

The king's face was full of interest.

"Oh...... How far is that anti-civilian army from here?"

"Big ..... About two hundred miles....." replied the soldier tremblingly.

"Bear it to the king, and all the responsibility will be borne by the commander of the thirteenth legion, Count Kalmat," the king said coldly, "and it is ...... that you are so presumptuous."

"Your Majesty!" blurted out the sergeant in astonishment, "Count Kalmar has died in battle! his head has been hung on a pitchfork by the scumber......s!"

The king immediately put away his smile and his eyes widened with rage.

"Get out, a bunch of straw bales, rice buckets, and I'm going to see your head after the feast. ”

The king gestured to the guard, who hurried forward to hold the officer and drag him up.

"Your Majesty, we are sincere to the royal family!!!Your Majesty the King------"

The officer was dragged out by the guards, and then a scream came from outside the door: "Ah!!!!!!!hh

Outside the door, flesh and blood flew sideways, and a man's head rolled down the steps with a grunt, and everyone along the way covered their noses and walked quickly to avoid it.

The king's 60th birthday was almost ruined by this miscellaneous fish....... Come on, everyone, keep drinking!"

The nobles looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

"This ......"

“..... Drink!

The nobles hesitated for a moment, but finally raised their glasses again and slowly drank the contents of the glass. Only the Count of Ferraren, who was at the table, frowned and did not raise a glass.

"Why, Count Ferraren?" the king raised an eyebrow, "are you worried that those mobs will have the power to destroy our strongest legion?"

Count Ferraren stood up: "Your Majesty, I have no intention of doing so, and I have no doubt about the strength of the Thirteenth Legion. I just think it's a bit wrong to just leave it alone?"

The corners of the king's mouth rose slightly, and he squeezed out a smile with great difficulty.

"Rest assured, Lord Count. They're just like the previous ones, they're a mob of strength and brainlessness, and they can't get to the noble and elegant imperial city of Sagoth---- ”

The Count of Ferraren was silent for a moment, then raised the glass in his hand and drank the wine from it. He looked at the cup with some emotion.

"That's right. The king turned to his attendants and said, "Bring me the best mead, meat, and cheese!, and by the way, what do you think that the king has decided to divide half of the customs duties collected in the last three months as your bounty for attending the king's feast?"

"Hooray!" the nobles cheered, only a few of them shouted a few times with the crowd in order to save face for the king, and then sat down and drank slowly, thinking about something unknown.
