Ascendance of a Bookworm - Chapter 368

The star knot ritual was completed successfully and I fell asleep as scheduled.

Talked to the chief priest after waking up was the story that the attack was prevented by the struggle of the old Veronica children.

“Probably the raiders thought the priests would move in a carriage. The Knights reported that there were some signs in the forest along the highway.”

“Are you a forest along the highway? For what purpose? Because you are a beast, you don’t always go along the highway?”

There is no road and it is a good place for the beasts to go straight to the destination. What does the raider think about, even though it doesn’t bother to run along the highway?

The priest sighed as I leaned over.

“You wouldn’t have thought you would move everything on your beast. Only some nobles knew that your beast could be resized freely, There can be no aristocrat who puts a gray priest on his knight except you. “

“… I mean, my flexible idea wins.”

“Let’s break common sense”

According to the priest, it seems that the attackers lost sight of the attack target due to my actions that I could not think of as a nobleman. Imagine the figure of an attacker waiting for a carriage to pass through in the forest.



The attackers seem to have weak magical powers that are difficult to find for the Knights, and as soon as the Knights began searching, they were scattered and suddenly turned off their magical powers. The knights who were searching for the weak magical powers lost sight of the subject and decided to increase the vigilance of the border gate.

“It ended as a result, but it was true that the old Veronican children knew the plan and struggled to get in touch, and the reports helped the raiders lurking in the forest. “Richarda said,“ You may have smashed your heart so that you can cooperate with the faction in the aristocracy. ”

This is a happy miscalculation because I started with the feeling that I don’t want to be angry around me, and since my parents were involved, I thought that the cooperative system would end when I returned to Ehrenfest. .

When we were adults and were able to choose a faction freely, we were thinking of getting here, but the old Veronica children were quite advanced.

“By acting with courage, Rhoderich and others showed loyalty to the lord. Because the foster father knows how hard it is to confront his parents. Please ask the priest to bring in the children well. ”

In aristocratic society, the decision to leave parents without becoming adults is to cut their ground. Without the next asylum, their future will be dark. Since apprenticeship work is also done under relatives, there is a possibility of being crushed in no time.

“… they seemed desperate to let you know, but aren’t you going to capture them?”

“Eh, is it okay to set it up close to me? Certainly, there are people who want to set it up, but it wouldn’t have been praised so much that I took the old Veronica school first.

I think it would be better for the adoptive father, who is still weak in ground, and Villefried, the next lord, to take in. Of course, I’m going to take more and more if the people I captured behind Reizegang are more effective against the Old Veronicas.

“If you do not do your best or give reward to your side, you’re too hasty. As usual, it’s dangerous to just judge them and suddenly take them into your side.” [19459002 ]

“I wasn’t so sudden because I saw their work at the Aristocratic House. The people at Harmut and Brünnhilde, who judged the unacquainted with only paperwork and called them close, It was so sudden. “

My aide candidates are Sieve ( Sieve ) It may not have been sudden for parents. However, for me, it was almost the first meeting, and I chose to be close without knowing who I was.

Compared to that, the old Veronica children are watching the behavior of the aristocracy for a season.

At first, I was reluctant to cooperate beyond the faction, but when I started studying with a group, everyone started studying together, so that I could immediately provide materials and teach each other. became. He made efforts to obtain information about Ahrensbach, which can only be obtained by the former Veronica group, even when earning money by collecting information, and preparing for the battle against the territory was also the right place for us. It was.

As long as you live together, you can see some of the nobles you’ve usually repaired.

…… Apart from whether I have eyes or not.

“That’s right. It might not be sudden for you, but it’s too sudden to get around. It takes a little more time and work to get the old Veronicas close to you. But it ’s better to reward for the future. What do you want to do? ”

No matter what you want to do. I should have said that I would like to keep it close to me. Is there any other useful reward that will make it easier for older Veronian children to join this faction and at the same time help to change adult consciousness?

“If it’s difficult to get the old Veronicas close to you, I think you’ve suggested it before, but can you change the content of the contract magic to teach how to compress magic?

“… Magic power compression method?”

For now, we have selected and taught aristocrats who have been confirmed as Florentian, but if we can teach them as rewards for achievements, there is a high possibility that the number of workers working for this faction will increase.

“Why don’t you decide where you want to serve yourself? If you wait until you are an adult, there will be a big difference in the growth rate. Old Veronica children were very impatient.

“That’s right. It’s a big part of the growth rate, because it’s obvious when you compare the generations of Lamprecht and Darmuel with the generations of Angelica and Cornelius.”

“Did the priests think that they wanted to expand the compression method in order to solve the shortage of Ehrenfest’s magic power in the first place? I want to increase my magic as much as possible. “

The priest listens with a difficult face. There is some hope that it will not be rejected immediately.

“Whether or not to teach how to compress magical power depends on the opinions of senior management, so I can’t answer anything right now, but it’s an urgent need to get children into this faction. You will get here, or you will have children alone and cut off their parents before they are crushed of valuable human resources in the future …. The time will soon come when you will be forced to make a choice. ”

“Yes, as it is now, there is a high possibility that the conflict between parents who want to get close to Ahrensbach and their children who want to choose a faction will intensify, so they need a caregiver for underage children. I think “

Being a guardian of the old Veronica children is something that I can’t do as a child, and it is the work of my adoptive father who brings together the noblemen of Ehrenfest. I want the lords to reward their achievements and determinations.

“I understand your opinion. I’ll tell you”

Physical condition is restored and daily life is back. When Filine and Khartoum came to the temple and started working normally, they received a visit request from the downtown area. The main company is Gilberta Co., Ltd.

When the date of the meeting was decided, I flew Ordnance to Brünnhilde.

“What do you think about the symposium with Brünnhilde and Gilberta?”

I think it’s easier to enter than the downtown area of ​​Greschel.

“Things in and out of Figline and Hartmut. I will come even if I don’t have to worry about that.”

Since I was able to enter the dirty downtown area, I received the answer that I could enter the temple without any problems. Since other aides are coming and going on a daily basis and listening to the story, the resistance seems to be much less than in the downtown area.

“How did Hartmut tell about the temple?”

“Since there is a priest instead of a nobleman, the cleanliness is not much different from the castle, and the gray priests from the commoner are also well educated, so they say that there is no discomfort even if they are around

“I also report what work I did in the temple”

Not only Hartmut, but also Filine smiled and said,

“Lose Mine, the next meeting with Gilberta will be a meeting about the dyeing show, so you should contact Elvira as well as Brünnhilde.” [19459002 ]

Hartmut pointed out that the mother was contacted. As a result, the meeting with the Gilberta Company was accompanied by an escort knight, a civilian, and Brünnhilde and her mother.

Today’s meeting will be held by the mother and Brünnhilde, so it will be held in a newly created reception room at the closest location to the main entrance of the temple, not the usual orphanage room.

“I’m heading now”

As the Ordnance flew from my mother, I asked Nikola to prepare tea and sweets, and headed to the front door to meet with Franc, Monica, Darmuel and Angelica.

As I looked around the sky, I saw a knight flying in a row from the castle. More than expected. Along with my mother and Brünnhilde, there were two apprentice apprentices and three apprentice knight apprentices.

“Is this a temple …”

Brünnhilde, who came for the first time, looked around to see the temple, but her mother had come to my temple headquarters, so she entered the temple without hesitation. Brünnhilde looked lightly at the scarlet eyes, as surprised.

Other aides are not hesitant to enter the temple. Brünnhilde enters the temple as if he was walking with the star. I try not to express my emotions as much as possible, but I can see that my eyes are swimming a little.

“This is the drawing room of the temple. This is used when aristocratic civilians and downtown merchants meet.”

The furniture in the drawing room is a renovated piece of furniture left by the former temple chief, so it is a room with no problems even if it is used by senior nobility. Brünnhilde looked around the furniture and struck one lightly.

“Today’s candy is a Cordé tart. It’s a new work”

When I recommend a tart with a seasonal taste made by Ella and Nicola, Fran will make a cup of tea right away.

Fran’s tea seems to fit the mouth of Brünnhilde. Brünhilde, who took a bite with Kokuri, closed his eyes lightly and enjoyed the bite slowly.

“It’s very delicious”

“Fran is also educated by Ferdinand and is recognized as being excellent”

“Wow …”

When we enjoyed tea and sweets, Gil brought the members of Gilberta Company. You can see Otto breathing in the reception rooms lined with aristocrats. The reason why I smiled at me was to hide the upset.

…… If you have ten people, you’ll be surprised.

After a long greeting, I recommended Otto with a chair and tea.

“Otto, how is the downtown area? Is there a lot of merchants from other territories?” When you go around the workshop and orphanage, you will hear a much busier noise than usual. 19459002]

Talking to Otto while tasting the tea and Korde tart that Fran gave me.

“It’s a great success. There are some improvements for next year, as commercial guilds and big stores are busy dealing with it, but it’s going well for now.”

There seem to be many things that need to be reviewed for next year, such as the lack of luxury inns that can be used by merchants in higher territories and the education of their employees.

However, when people go in and out, it means more business opportunities. The owners of big stores that have come to Italian restaurants are already moving towards next year.

“Linshan and hair ornaments are selling well. Italian restaurants are also restricted by the referral system, giving them a sense of quality and speciality. Central merchants also eat. The Ehrenfest has many things that are still lacking, but there are several places that have been pulled out to other areas, so we can do business with great breasts. “

I was able to easily imagine Otto and Benno doing business without losing merchants in the center or Klassenburg.

“Looks like there’s no big problem. Do you keep the city beautiful?”

“Of course. The soldiers are still on the lookout. Now that the soldiers haven’t heard much, they have become accustomed to the new lifestyle.”

It seems that passages and roofs are being constructed so that trash and filth can be thrown away even in snowy winter. It seems that architectural workshops and timber trading companies are busy.

“Let’s talk about the dyeing party. How about the dyeing workshop?”

“In addition to Gutenberg, the title of the lord family has been gained and it has been very exciting to open up a way to become exclusive. Young craftsmen, like Gutenberg, are eager to earn the title. The old craftsmen are desperately trying to remember the stories and techniques they heard from their parents when they were apprentices. ”

Although it was a dyeing technique that had been abolished, the technology has been revived from a small amount of information such as old memoirs and cloths remaining at the Gilberta Chamber of Commerce and some materials in the warehouse of the dyeing and weaving association It seems to be showing great excitement.

“This is a list of participating dyeing workshops and craftsmen”

Looking through the list provided by Otto, there was the mother’s name. With the name Efa and the name of the workshop, I am sure that I am not a different person, and I get nervous all at once.

… Wow! Mother also participates! I will definitely appoint my mother!

Fumufumu, with a face that looks calmly looking at the list, in my heart, I’m fine! , Otto shifts his gaze from me to the mother.

“When is the schedule for the show, Elvira? You must give the craftsmen an accurate date”

Hours of arrival on the day, start time of the tea party, how big the party will be, the number of people who can enter the castle, etc. Basically, what is important in the conversation between Otto and the mother, sometimes Brünnhilde To go.

I was thinking about the titles for dyeing and clothing, as I asked one thing after another. Otto wants you to send a title, but I can’t imagine a name that fits like Gutenberg.

…… No title. But Gutenberg was impressed with Johan’s metal type and just came out, and I wasn’t very interested in dyeing, regardless of books and printing.

In the case of library relations and printing relations, even though there are many names that come out, I don’t remember the details of the dyeing relations that were only invited by my mother during the Reino period. No matter how many books you’ve read, it doesn’t make sense unless you remember it.

In addition, I thought I wanted to spread dyeing to craftsmen in order to respond to the information gathered by Yustox. Neither dyed goods competition nor title is expected. I don’t have much thought, so there’s nothing indecent for the name I can think of.

…… Well, if you can’t think of a person’s name, do you use the name of the dye or the Yuzen you first thought of? But isn’t it difficult to pronounce Japanese words?

As an added bonus, here the names given to nobility are longer. If you give a short name, you’ll surely get a subtle face.

… I was in trouble. It might be better to use a word that means the revival of technology or something like that … What did you say? Hey, I’ve forgotten a lot, but it wasn’t there. Such an era. Troublesome to divide, reviving or reviving culture …

“Uh … Yes, Renaissance!”

Refreshing! The moment you raise your face, you can see that the surrounding gaze is facing here.

“Oh, excuse me, because I was thinking about a title to be given to the best”

laughs, laughs, turns into a demon, but everyone’s subtle expressions remain the same. After a moment of silence, Otto smiled and looked around.

“Well, Renaissance. Is that the title that Rosemine gives to the dyeing craftsman? Because it has a difficult face, I thought there was something wrong here, but I was pondering it. [Shin]

…… Otto is following me so much. It’s not an atmosphere that you can say “I’m out of polo, but it’s different”. What should I do! ?

“I’m glad that Rosemine’s title was accepted”

“Renaissance …”

While I was holding my head in my mind and thinking about how to correct it, the title for dyeing was decided to be Renaissance. Hartmut and Philine took notes, and the assistant Theo behind Otto also wrote on the writing board.

…… Yaba! Dyeing is no longer relevant. If this is the case, my mother will be called Renaissance. Oh no!

“Please do it that day”

“I’m smart”

After the meeting, the members of the Gilberta Chamber of Commerce are leaving the room.

“How does Mom, Lamprecht’s bride, Aurelia look?”

“You basically meet as an adopter of the lord, so call it Aurelia …. It seems that you talked with Lamprecht and carefully selected the person you want to visit. There has been no contact with the Veronica. ”

Mr. Lamprecht’s brother and Aurelia’s new house are separated from the grounds, so it can be seen when nobles come and go.

“It seems that Betina, the other bride, is intimately associated with the old Veronica group. This is natural, though.”

Saying so, the mother exhaled. Fredden, who was married by Betina, is a middle-class nobility of the former Veronika group, so if you get to know them, you will deepen your friendship with the old Veronian group. I can’t help doing this.

“But I still haven’t seen my face because Aurelia always wears a veil.”

“That’s right, my brother Lamprecht told me that I wanted to prevent misunderstandings.”

“I think it would be misunderstood to have been wearing Aalesbach’s veil for a long time”

If mothers sighed, but have lived misunderstood, it would be natural to want Aurelia to avoid being misunderstood in the current tense situation.

“That mother, would you like to invite Aurelia to the dyeing show? I’m forbidden to contact you, but I can’t help but invite you?”

My husband’s boss, a foster mother, my mother-in-law, and my sister-in-law, I don’t invite Aurelia to an event that I planned, from the side, I am completely married.

“Yeah, I can’t afford to invite you. I’ll try to be with you as much as possible, and I’ll be fine with Brünnhilde. Be careful with your remarks.” [19459002 ]

“Yes”

“I want to talk to Rosenmine and Ferdinand about the details of Ahrensbach that I heard from Aurelia, because I already talked to the lords and couples.”

It seems that the priest had promised after the discussion with the merchant. Ask Monica to call you, and ask Francs to replace her tea.

“I heard that Elvira has information about Ahrensbach …”

“That’s right, although it’s information that Lamprecht has heard from Aurelia.”

The reason why my mother taught me in advance was that the number of lord candidates in Ahrensbach was drastically reduced.

“The first wife of Aub Ahrensbach was from Drevancher, the second wife was from Berkestock, and the third wife was Georgine of Ehrenfest.”

“Berkestock …”

The Priest asked, “What is that?” Unfortunately, I don’t know at all. For the time being, I only know that Berkestock is a large territory that has already disappeared due to political change.

“The first wife had three girls and no boys, and the second wife had two boys.”

It seems that one of the sons of the second wife would be the next lord because both were from large territories. Some of the daughters of the first wife were married outside the territory, while others were married to senior nobility in the territory.

Then, a political change occurs, and the camp will be divided between the first wife’s home and the second wife’s home. Aub Ahrensbach made the same position as the first wife’s family. Because he was on the same camp as Drevancher, he was able to join the winning team.

“And after the political change, there was Kiyoshi Otsuki”

An aristocratic Oyasei was performed by the king and Krassenburg. The defeated aristocrats were severely punished.

“The second wife was the younger sister of Aub Berkestock, who had been executed. The two sons were also in succession, but Aub Ahrensbach’s rescue petition By dropping into the status of a senior noble, life was saved. “

At this point, it seems that Ahrensbach was in trouble with succession, despite having won. Nevertheless, the defeated territory was sold and the territory expanded.

“When the second wife’s son was abandoned and became a senior nobility, the first wife’s daughters were already married and were not Ahrensbach’s lord candidates. He said he tried to increase the number of lord candidates by adopting his daughter’s children, grandchildren. “

However, every territory has fewer nobility. Only one person was able to pick up. While raising the child as the next lord, he was planning to increase the number of lord candidates by adopting the blood-drawn child of the lord who descended to a senior nobility.

However, the first wife died and Georgine became the first wife.

“Georgine’s daughter was married to a senior nobleman and was no longer a lord candidate. All that remains is Dietrinde and Retizia, who had been adopted by the first wife.

“Is the lord’s brother a lord candidate? If there are many of them, wouldn’t it be better to give up the status of Abu and increase the number of lord candidates?”

The mother slowly shook her head in the words of the chief priest.

「いいえ、アーレンスバッハでは領主が決まった時に、同じ世代の領主候補を廃する習慣があるそうです。アウレーリアの父親は土地を与えられ、上級貴族となっていると聞いています」

アーレンスバッハの状態は八方塞がりであるらしい。

「……わたくしがランプレヒトから聞いたのは、このくらいです」

「色々と疑問点が残っているが、アウレーリアがフレーベルターク出身の第三夫人の娘ならば、あまり詳しい情報は出て来ぬ可能性もあるな」

神官長は眉間に深い皺を刻み、ものすごく嫌そうな顔で、思考の海に沈み始めた。
