The Earl of Holm was a rare aristocratic lord who thought about the people, and the Countess of Holm was a rare noble lady who was kind and kind, and they were also a loving father and mother at home.

After shaking in the carriage for a long time, Lyle, who had an inexplicable sense of exhaustion, threw himself directly on the bed: "Sure enough, the room with a maid looks clean and tidy, which is completely different from my kennel-style dormitory~"

His bedroom conforms to the stereotype of 'noble young master's bedroom', and there is nothing special about it, because magic-related books are placed in the study, the materials needed to make magic props are placed in the basement, and the equipment needed for physical exercise is directly obtained from Fran's room, and the bedroom is really just used for sleeping.

Incidentally, the housekeeper uncle of the family is the former patriarch of the ninja clan who fled from the east, and was served by Count Holm in the war, and Fran is his eldest daughter, who has been brought to the Earl's palace since she was a child, and while serving as Lyle's exclusive maid, she insists on ninjutsu practice, so there will be daggers, kunai, smoke bombs, hooks, meteor hammers, steel wires and other 'fitness equipment' in her room.

"Huh? Isn't there a maid for the professor in the Academy of Magic? Fran, who was taking Lyle's luggage out of the Fliggy piggy bank, said in surprise that this was inconsistent with the information she had heard about the Academy.

"Theoretically, yes, but most professors will refuse, either by bringing a maid from home, or by using a Chimera, or by using a contract elf. We don't want our hearts and minds to be casually turned over by strangers, not to mention that there are some unclean guys in the academy from time to time......" The trap that Lyle set in his bedroom and electrocuted three students who had stolen spatial magic materials during the summer vacation shows that this is not unfounded.

Fran subconsciously recommended herself: "Then why don't I go to the magic academy to take care of the young master?" ”

"No, no~ no matter how much you say it, you can't be separated from the housekeeper's father and daughter." Lyle sat up and explained why he hadn't mentioned it all along, "Besides, I'm not going back to the academy. ”

Fran, who was still a little disappointed when she heard the first half of the sentence, was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses: "...... Is it because of the problem with the underground ruins? ”

"Well, the discovery of an ancient ruin would have attracted a large number of adventurers, mercenaries, thieves, merchants, craftsmen, and scholars, bringing opportunities for economic prosperity and hidden dangers of law and order. With more people and more strength, I'm already going to stay and help manage the territory. "These travelers have not yet arrived in the county of Holm, and no matter how fast they move, they have not left their work and rushed back as soon as they received the news, but it is only one to two weeks late.

A smile unconsciously appeared on Fran's face, there was no better news than the young master staying in the territory.

Lyle looked worried: "And this time it's different...... The strange creatures that crawled out of the ruins are problematic no matter what they think, and it is still unknown when the investigation will be concluded. ”

Generally, after entering the ruins, the normal rhythm is [being attacked by ghost-like monsters and accidentally triggering a trap to pick the lock to open the door to find treasure and being attacked by peers], and now there are flesh-and-blood underground creatures, there are two possibilities. The first is that the first person to discover the underground ruins accidentally touched some mechanism, so that the ruins began to spawn monsters by magical means; The second is that there is a huge space in the ruins, which is enough for a race to obtain food for a long time and stably to thrive.

Either way, it was very unfriendly to the inhabitants of the county of Holm.

Lyle's speech made Fran's heart sink and he couldn't help but think of another thing: "...... There are also lethargic events. ”

"Sleepy events?" There is no mention of this in the Earl's letter.

"When the monsters in the ruins rushed out of the ground, some of the people who were attacked fell into a strange stupor." They were the lucky ones, and the other part of the people who were attacked were killed on the spot, "Now not only did they not wake up, but there was a vision of purple crystal sand flowing from the corner of their eyes. "E-book bar

“？！”

》》》》》》》

I took a hot bath, changed my clothes, and made up for lunch.

Lyle has a family meeting with his parents, and the real decision is made by the people in charge of this territory, and Lyle, the son of the count, actually has no real power.

"If you don't have a place to use me for the time being, father, I plan to go to various villages in the suburbs to arrange the coordinates first." Checking the condition of the sleeper and analyzing the purple crystal sand is an inevitable job, and there is no need to mention it at all.

"Lay out the coordinates?" The Earl wondered.

Lyle glanced back at the piggy bank beside him, hinting at the space magic he had learned: "Remote teleportation requires the coordinates of the target location, and if there is a magic prop for warning, I can rush over to save people as soon as the village in the suburbs is attacked." ”

The Earl was relieved that his son could think of the inhabitants of the outskirts of the territory, and was now only shocked by his son's magical ability: "Are you saying that even if you are so far away, you can reach it in an instant?" ”

"[Flight] and [Teleportation] are my two trump cards," Lyle shrugged, there were many magic that came from the epiphany, but these were the two that were blushing at all the teachers and students of the academy, "All in all, leave the garrison on the outskirts to me, Father, when your army arrived, the villagers were probably killed." ”

"Even if you can teleport, aren't you alone? How can that work? The Countess was concerned about her son's safety.

"Don't worry, Mother, I've been evaluated by the Dean many years ago as a [one-man army] magician." Lyle looked very helpless, he didn't have any records, he couldn't make the people closest to him understand his strength, "Let's put it this way...... I may not make it out of the underground ruins alive, but I certainly have a better chance of surviving than my father's 2,000-strong troops. ”

"Really...... The Countess expressed high suspicion.

This is another common declining magic world, the ancient magic cow has reached the sky, lost and lost, modern magic is only a few ordinary elemental attack magic, and even a teleportation magic can make the entire magic academy climax and fall into the research fever of space magic.

The Countess treats Lyle as an ordinary modern magician, but in fact, Lyle spent most of his time in the Academy of Magic pondering ancient magic, and the realm is different.

"Combat aside." The Earl doesn't actually trust Lyle's boast either, but doesn't want to leave the conversation there, "Lyle...... Sure enough, you're planning to investigate the ruins later? ”

"Somebody has to cure the problem, doesn't it?" Lyle said as a matter of course.
