Chapter 264
Chapter 264
Viceburn seems to have taken their next move. The Royal family of the Drak Kingdom has been issued an imperial decree, to transfer all the pedigree skill owners to the south.
Chancellor Bergmans words made me feel that he had finally come.
Finally, huh?
Thats right, I have continued to support Princess Cortine of Jorum with the title of Daikokuya Branch of the Dragrange Margrave Territory, but in return, I have asked her to investigate the internal affairs of the Drak Kingdom.
The result is the news this time but to come directly to the Royal Capital
Even though it is in the form of Kurtmerga, she probably does not want the pedigree skills of the Drak royal family to leak to the outside as much as possible.
I wonder if its because of her obligation to the Drak royal family, or if there is some other information.
I see. So since the report said that theyre moving south, does that mean theyre targeting Amar?
I dont know the details of the decree. Thats why Im meeting Ashley to discuss the situation. The transferred Royal family is the eighth Prince Zagir. He is Cortines only real brother, and it seems that their features are quite similar. Hes, however, a human, instead of a beast race.
Is that a big reason why she came personally? Its easier to deal with an enemy whose face you know than an assassin whose identity you dont knowbut what worries me is
If I may ask, what is the Drak royal familys pedigree skill?
Of course, the pedigree skill hidden by the Drak royal familyFellow System. Even if I listen to the story, I dont really understand the details yet, but in a nutshell its the ability capable of enslaving monsters.
The pedigree skill Fellow System that Chancellor Bergman told methe details were intuitive, and even when he heard Cotys story, the Prime Minister could only understand the outline. However, for me, who understands that the origin of pedigree skills is some kind of game, just listening to the outline is enough information.
Enslaving monsters, that is to saya system that allows players to tame monsters as pets or battle partners.
Its no wonder Coty wants to keep it hidden. Originally, monsters were the enemies of all living things in the natural world. A skill that allows one to enslave them from the outside, it could be regarded as the same ability as the master of the labyrinth. For the Royal family to have the same ability as the master of the labyrinththe people would only feel fear.
I dont know what the former Drak royal family thought, but it can be inferred that they succeeded in creating a knight corps unique to the Drak Kingdom called the Dragon Knights, passing down the skills while only partially degrading them, keeping the fact that its originally a Pedigree Skills. .
I changed the names and outlines of the pedigree skills into easy-to-understand words for Chancelor Bergman.
I see, from what you said, their aim is to have monsters attack Amar, right?
Besieged by monsters or humans, I dont know which one theyll use more. Either way, I dont think that Prince will be allowed to lead a large army on his own. That leaves only one
Understood. Ill contact the general guild around Amar and mobilize all the adventurers to hunt monsters in the surrounding area. If there is no monster to enslave, no matter what they plan, they will not be able to carry it out.
Thats about all we can do from now on. The Zephanel mansions guards are well-staffed, regardless of the presence of assassins. Worst-case scenariouse the transfer magic circle set up in the basement. The important thing is to calmly deal with any disturbances and not cause chaos.
With that in mind, Ashley and the crown prince shouldnt be stuck in a risky situation
After that, I talked with Chancellor Bergman about my arrival on Big Ship and the high-end interiors sold at Daikokuya. Chancellor Bergman told me that he would buy up all the furniture as soon as it arrived.
Originally, craftsmen from the Royal Capital should be gathered to craft furnishings suitable for the castle where the King lives. But with the location of the Rafflesia has not yet been grasped, it is necessary to limit the number of people entering and exiting the Royal Castle as much as possibleit would be troublesome if magic tools were installed in the delivered furniture. In that sense, the quality and safety of the furniture that I prepare is perfect.
That said, I warned Chancellor Bergman that it would be impossible to prepare that much furniture.
After finishing the call and taking a breather, my eyes fell upon the swaying light shining through the closed wooden window.
When I took off the key hanging on the wooden window and looked outside.
A band of light stretched out and rotated like a searchlight from the tower built on the small island located in the center of Big Ship.The band of light that illuminates the night sky not only informs distant ships that Big Ship is here, but can also be used for long-distance communication using timed flickering like Morse codesaid the men who were having a blast at the bar on the first floor..
Two days later. The promised day has arrived, but I havent heard from Sierra yet. It was already noon and the sky was dyed red.
Customer, would you like another drink?
Please.
A young man standing at the counter poured distilled liquor into a new glass, added citrus juice, and gently slid the glass in front of me.
A familiar cocktail for sailors called cloak. Liquor is drunk as a substitute for water during voyages. For sailors, it can be said to be the water of life. Its to the point that theyd still drink cloak regularly even when on dry land, and wont be drunk from it. The men making noise in the tavern were proud of their achievements during the voyage, celebrated their safe return to port, and sang prayers for the safety of their next voyage.
As I listened to the song, I was slightly intoxicated by the noise and cloak, waiting for a call while confirming the number of people entering and leaving Blue Ocean Inn.
Finally here, huh
It was completely dark outside, and when the tavern was about to reach its peak, the old sailor named Garda, whom I had met at Sierras shop, was standing at the entrance of the tavern. He looked around the bar with narrowed eyes that I cant tell if its open or closed. When he saw me, he slowly walked towards me.
The young man standing at the counter should be able to see this old sailor Garuda, but didnt show any signs of treating the old sailor as a customer. Apparently, this old sailor is a frequent visitor here as a liaison.
11th Ship, 36th Warehouse.
Garda, who came in front of me, said just that, then placed a magic stone-consuming magic lock crest on the counter and waited for my reaction.
Is he waiting for the payment?
When I glanced at the young man at the counter, he seemed to sense something and moved to the other side of the counter. The sailors making noise in the tavern didnt seem to be interested in us, and more than half of them fell down on the table after getting drunk.
I suppose its okay to hand over the payment now.
The information fee this time reached a platinum coin and a half. Im worried whether itll reach Sierra safely if I hand it over to this old sailor, but thats nothing to do with me.
I put my hand into the pouch hanging from my waist and took out the small bag containing the money from the inventory. After picking up the small bag on the counter, Garda quickly put it back into his tool bag and silently walked out of the bar. I also collected the magic lock crest, stood up from the counter, and headed to warehouse number 36 on the 11th ship.
