Ascendance of a Bookworm - Chapter 452

Dedication is to swear allegiance to the only Lord for himself. It entrusts the right to life and death to the Lord and shows that he is an absolute subject. The Lord cannot be changed because the time has changed.

“Aub Ehrenfest, I want to give thanks and loyalty to Aub for showing me the way to save the clan.”

After Jeremias’s decision, Viscount Darldorf, who had been silent for a while, grabbed his fist. Viscount Darldorf, who closed his tight eyes, drew his head.

“… Aub Ehrenfest, I can’t”

“Father !?”

Jeremias opens his eyes to the words of Viscount Darldorf. I didn’t think that Gibe would cut the way to save the family. In front of us who were amazed at the surprise, Viscount Darldorf made a painful whisper.

“I have no more names to dedicate”

It seems that Viscount Darldorf had already given his name to someone. I heard from the priestess and my entourage that I would rarely give a dedication, but wasn’t it? I look down on Viscount Dardorf in a mysterious mood.

“If you don’t have a name to dedicate, Dardorf …”

“But! We will show you all the sincerity for the clan. We will always seek out the scriptures and prove that we are neither hostile nor malicious.”



Therefore, I beg that I don’t want to block the way to avoid the concession. The adoptive father narrowed his eyes to mourn Viscount Dardorf.

“… Who gave your name? I can’t trust it.”

“It ’s Veronica.”

Gabriele, who had been married from Ahrensbach but was unfamiliar with Ehrenfest, forced his loyal subjects and their children to give their names. Apparently, he needed a vassal who was not betrayed to protect and protect his children.

“There seems to be more dedication in Ahrensbach than in Ehrenfest. The mother who came from Ahrensbach with Gabriele said that he couldn’t trust his unnamed subject. I was brought up “

At the age when Viscount Daldorf was devoted to his name, Veronica and Georgine were named by their mothers for devoting their names. It seems to be a story before the adoption father was born.

The Viscount Dardorf was said to have made Veronica the name of the first wife of the lord.

“So, like that, do you mean that those who are related to Ahrensbach’s blood are giving a dedication? On mothers and sisters”

“Yes. To counter Reizegang, we had to swell Veronica, who draws Ahrensbach’s blood, and to unite it.”

I felt that I couldn’t say anything about the reason why the middle class nobility, who are the center of the old Veronica group, did not change the faction. Apparently there seems to be a big difference in dedication between Ahrensbach and Ehrenfest.

“Why didn’t you give my child a name?”

“I didn’t feel particularly necessary because Veronica had enough power to suppress Reisegang and the faction was so big that I didn’t have to solidify it …. Aub Ehrenfest, to me We will do everything we can, please give mercy to our family … ”

The adoptive father, who was quietly looking down at the bequesting Viscount Darldorf, waved his hand lightly.

“Recover the stolen scriptures. Everything is from it. Let their work be shown carefully.”

“I’m sorry”

The search for the scriptures began with the shelves once shelved. Viscount Daldorf immediately flew Ordnance to the surrounding nobles, “I don’t know where my wife should have gone to the noble town first, but if you know anything,” Then bring the magic stone of Viscount Darldorf and confirm that the corpse is his own. After that, as the priest asked, he opened the hidden room of Countess Darldorf and asked him to look inside as he wanted.

“Lose Mine, what is the scripture? I’m going to tell the servants to search, but I haven’t seen them very close. I think the servants probably don’t understand.”

I will explain the scriptures about what kind of book and what size. The first-hand service gave instructions to the employees, and a large-scale search in the hall began.

As Viscount Dardorf began to deal with the returning Ordnance, I spoke to Jeremias about the actions of Countess Darldorf as far as we knew.

Jeremias asked various questions in order to find the scriptures, while angering, “What do you really mean …”.

“What is the scripture used for? It may vary depending on the purpose of use”

“The scriptures are used during ceremonies. I remember the congratulatory words, so I can do the rituals without them, but it is difficult to lose because it is a scripture in the territory. Is it necessary to memorize the congratulatory words? ”According to Egmont’s memory and the unwritten paper, it seems to have stolen to embarrass us”

“Are there any other uses besides ceremonies?”

…… It’s a use that I don’t need at all, but it looks like a handbook to become a king.

“There is nothing else to use”

When Jeremias had a difficult face in my answer, the chief minister and the chief priests who were heading for the search in the hall returned. He looked for the scriptures with the momentum to turn over the hall, but could not find it.

If I didn’t feel a sense of incongruity, it would have been long before it was discovered that the scriptures had been replaced, so I thought it might still be at hand, Apparently nowhere else.

“I’m more likely to move it somewhere. Does the Duchess of Dardorf have a transition?”

“No, she doesn’t have herself and hasn’t given permission for what she manages at home”

As a result of vigilance against assassination and assault, transfer teams that move people can only be set up by the lord. And the transfer range of transfer teams that can be set up by the lord is limited to the territory. The transfer team across the territory like the transfer team to and from the Aristocratic House requires the permission of the king.

And the transfer team for moving objects can only be transferred within the territory and not across territories. To be precise, there is nothing that cannot be done if both lords are convinced and set up, but I do not hear that there are so many transfer teams. It seems that there is a high possibility that it will be troublesome when the situation changes according to alternatives and times.

And, as used by the chief priest, the transfer team that can be used by individuals is basically a one-way street, with the team to send and the team to receive. In addition, there are various restrictions, such as if it is not possible to move without the creator’s magic in either sending or receiving, or sending without the recipient’s permission. It seems to be a result of being wary of a situation where dangerous goods are suddenly sent.

In other words, even if the transfer team is obtained in some way, the destination is limited to the Ehrenfest.

“Gybe Dardorf, who is likely to need the scriptures in his wife’s companionship, who has exchanges to keep such dangerous things?”

The priest who was investigating about the old Veronicas is not unfamiliar with the friendship of Baron Dardorf. The purpose of asking Viscount Dardorf is whether he really wants to cooperate.

“I think it’s Gibe Gerlach. He and his wife are both dedicated to Georgine, so if you hide from the clan and get the scriptures, it may be for Georgine. Gibe Gerlach is a civilian-inspired Gibe, so it would be possible to create a personal transfer team. “

“Fum”

The priest was happy with the answer of Viscount Darldorf. There seems to be no discrepancy with the information held by the chief priest.

“But there was no transfer team in her usual room, in the hidden room, or in the side servant’s room. Transfer would not be possible without the transfer team. Give it to someone other than Gibe Gerlach. Can’t you think of it? ”

“… My wife hasn’t gone out of the way to the fullest after returning to this pavilion. I haven’t met anyone.”

The head side said so. The Viscount’s room doesn’t have a balcony, so it seems that you can’t go in and out with a beast.

In addition to the testimony of the first served, the information gathered in Ordnance to the Duchess of Dardorf was that she did not go out. The prison chief kept the knight watched when Egmont was captured and taken to the castle.

The time to leave the temple in Egmont’s memory and the time to return to the aristocratic hall where the first-serving service was remembered were almost the same. I don’t have much time to go elsewhere and I think it’s too dangerous to hang around with the scriptures.

…… There is no transfer team, and nowhere to go … It seems like it was moving so vigorously before entering the noble town.

I think it was my own job, but I should have gathered information and bought cloths at Italian restaurants and Gilberta Shokai. What was the meaning of that? I was thinking a lot about the actions of the Countess Darldorf and looked back on the first served.

“That’s right, when did Gilberta’s cloth arrive?”

Ask questions that remind you that you need to check other than the scriptures. It would be better to collect information on cloths that could be involved in downtown.

“Is it a cloth of Gilberta firm?”

“Yeah. A person who seems to be the messenger of the Duchess of Dardorf buys a new dyeing cloth from Ehrenfest at the Gilberta Chamber. On the same day that he gets the scriptures, I bought cloth from a merchant who doesn’t use it, so I thought it might have something to do with it … “

When I explained what kind of cloth I bought for the first-side service, I said that I had something to come up with.

“The cloth arrived before his wife returned. There was a merchant who came to deliver orders from his wife around noon. It was a stranger, but his wife’s handwriting The letter was together, so I paid to receive the goods. The cloth was taken out by the side serving in the afternoon. “

“Huh?”

Isn’t it the time since the return of Countess Dardorf? If the side service is wrapped in the Gilberta Company’s cloth and brought out the scriptures, the Gilberta Company will surely get involved in the scriptures.

“Where did the side service go? Is there a possibility that the scriptures were brought out in the cloth?”

‘Everyone turns his eyes on the first side of my word. Apparently it was the leading side that arranged the carriage. The answer will come back soon.

“I remember that the chariot with side service headed to the castle”

“Is it a castle ??”

An unexpected place came out and I rounded my eyes. Will you bring the scriptures to the castle? What do you do with a cloth before that?

Jeremys raised his face in front of me leaning down.

“… It is a wedding celebration for Ferdinand”

“Huh?”

“If you send the fabric to the castle as a gift for Ferdinand’s wedding, you can carry the goods to Ahrensbach without passing through the Gibe Gerlach and without being suspicious by others. If you want to deliver the scriptures to Georgine, isn’t it the most suspicious way? “

Marriage of lord candidates. A lot of gifts arrive from Ahrensbach, but I bring a lot of gifts from Ehrenfest. Gifts from Gibe and many aristocrats from all over the country have already arrived from here and there in front of the winter social circle, and there seems to be a room where more and more are piled up.

“The new Ehrenfest dyed fabric would be a good gift for marriage. For women, it would be a mistake for Dietrinde and Georgine, not Aub Ahrensbach or Ferdinand.

Unlike the hairdressers that have already sold their recipes and the hair ornaments that have been decided to be taken to the Aristocracy as gifts for graduation ceremonies, there is a new trend and a box that can hold the scriptures can be prepared. And unlike sweets, it doesn’t rot or get damaged even if you leave it in the castle until it leaves in the spring.

Jeremias said that no one would wonder because it is common for a groom to give a bride a new cloth.

…… Speaking of that, when I tried to give cloth to Aurelia, I told Brünhilde that it was actually a gift from my brother Lamprecht.

I finally got up to the clue I finally found.

“I’m going to the castle”

The Viscounters of Dardorf were to watch the knights and look for other clues. The priest skips the Ordnances to the castle secretary, “Going to the castle to confirm the wedding celebration.” I accompany the priest and look for Gilberta’s cloth in a room where gifts are stacked.

Upon arrival at the castle, head to the office used by the chief priest. The civilian who received the Ordnance was waiting there. It seems to be a civilian who always helps the castle. It seems to be an aide who never comes to the temple.

“We have received a key because we are going to confirm a gift for the wedding gift. Even if Ferdinand didn’t bother confirming it, we could confirm it here …”

The civilian said he was a little dissatisfied, even though he was busy and didn’t need to increase his own work. It seems to be a civilian who tries to reduce the work of the chief priest.

“We were contacted by Aub Ehrenfest that we received a lot of wedding gifts from everyone. It certainly seems cumbersome, but in the winter social world we have to give thanks to each other and return Can’t you say thank you without knowing what you’ve received, you have to make sure that there are no temple rituals now? “

The chief priest accumulates work one after another, taking up the keys of the room where the gifts are placed from the civilian with a smiley smile.

“Yustox and Rosemine will accompany you to check the gift, so it’s better to work hard on this job.”

“Is it not allowed to accompany Ferdinand and Rosemine?”

A civilian who was told that he should remain and look at him looks at the priest.

“I am my self. I wanted to give a gift to Dietrinde and Letizia, but I’ve already received gifts from Gibe in various places. I didn’t have time, so I wanted to see what kind of gifts I had.I’m sorry for not having enough time to go to the aristocracy. “

When I apologize to the civilian, the chief priest responds, “That’s right.

Looking back, the civilian was lonely dropping his shoulders and grabbing the documents.

“… I’m sorry somehow. Only one person remains working.”

“There is no way. How do you intend to explain when you have something to look for?”

“That’s right …”

I walked next to the priest at the Lesser and reached the room where the gifts were kept. When Justox opened the door with the key he received from the chief priest, it turned out that many gifts were already piled up.

“There are many wooden boxes”

“If you leave the item bare, it may get dirty when you carry it to the carriage.”

It seems to be best to put them in a wooden box even if you think about stacking them.

“Find it right away. You know what cloth you are.”

I am the confirmation clerk who knows the cloth sold at Gilberta Company. Have your entourage bring a wooden box and look inside. At that time, the chief priest would definitely confirm to whom he received what.

“Put the boxes that have been confirmed here. Be careful not to mix them with unidentified boxes.”

Escort knights bring wooden boxes as if they were working. The priest confirms it one by one, and Justoks writes it down. I check carefully only when a new dyed cloth comes out.

Even if it looks similar, there is no same dyed fabric.

“This is Ferdinand, this is the cloth sold by Gilberta!”

After seeing a few, I found a cloth that I was familiar with. There is a flower-patterned cloth that resembles the cloth that my mother dyes. It is a cloth that uses the precious colors of summer so that it is just right to be delivered in the spring.

“Lightly tested for toxic substances, but check before touching. It’s not without the possibility of poisoning when replacing the scriptures.”

In the words of the priest, my escort knights started a toxic test according to the instructions of Hartmut. Yustox who was watching it screamed as if he was impressed, “I remember what I taught.”

I was trying to take out the cloth because it was confirmed that no poison was attached.

“Hey, heavy …”

The cloth wrapped around the core is big and heavy and I can’t take it out of the box. Have Leonore and Angelica take it out, and then take the cloth off.

“… Oh?” ​​

I thought that the scripture would come out if I stripped the cloth, but it was a wooden box that came out.

“It’s a box again”

“It’s very heavy to use as a wick, this box. I’m sure there’s something inside.”

They say so and open the box used for the core of the cloth. There was my scripture in a wooden box packed with cloth so as not to move.

“There was! The scripture of me!”

“Let me inspect the poison before touching me, Rosemine”

“Forgot that the exact same appearance was poisoned?”

After being beaten by two people, I wait a little while waiting for the poison test to finish.

“It’s okay to touch this, Rosemine”

Hartmut, who took out the scriptures in the wooden box, offered them to be easy to hold. I hug the scriptures in front of me. I looked carefully at the cover and the binding and sniffed and confirmed the smell.

“Ferdinand-sama, looks good, smells, weights, this is definitely my scripture.”

When I was confident and looked up at the priest and laughed, the priest looked down at me with an eerie look.

“You feel confident that you can’t make mistakes like that.”

…… What is it! ?

“If you have love for books, you can do this much”

“Yes, but it doesn’t matter”

The priest said, waving lightly and exhaling slowly.

“Nevertheless, this time it was a lot of elaborate work”

“If this was found in Ahrensbach, it might have been the case that the priest would have stolen Ehrenfest’s scriptures.”

The priest slowly shakes his head in my words.

“No, I was accused of having Ehrenfest plan to put Alensbach on the stigma of the thief”

“Neither has changed much. The strange plan has been crushed.”

I found the scriptures. It wasn’t a goal, and it was regrettable that this was not the case.

“There is no proof that this case is related to Georgine, right?”

“So far, this is all done personally by the Countess of Dardorf. There is no evidence that leads to Georgine in Ahrensbach. Even without the Egmont ring, even Gibe Gerlach I was n’t connected. ”

Georgine is sure to be behind, but he’s a very troublesome partner, being cautious or ecstatic.

“But I found the scriptures. I and you didn’t make a goal, and you’ve prevented poisoning. Collecting this cloth won’t involve the Gilberta Chamber of Commerce. Dardorf swore allegiance to Aub, and as a result, was n’t it good? ”

“Because I first noticed a sense of incongruity, you can give up a lot.”

I feel that I wasn’t very helpful on the way, so I stress that I was a good man.

“I don’t want to admit that when I say that, well, I can’t say that”

“You don’t give up?”

“You just turned around so that you don’t lose your goal. You won’t give up again.”

Although the priest did not praise him, the scriptures and the Gilberta cloth were successfully recovered.

After that, all the gifts were confirmed while being used by the chief.

We finished the work, so we returned to the temple. You must check if the key is authentic by opening the scriptures with the key. It seems that the keys of the scriptures that remained in the key storage box were genuine, and I could open them without any problems by registering my magical power.

The magic circle and characters are still floating in the place where the cover is opened. I also confirmed that the scriptures were authentic, so I immediately reported to the adoptive father and Viscount Dardorf.

“We have recovered it safely. And then we have a collection of Gilberta’s cloth because we are in trouble if something goes wrong.”

My dedication and affiliation is a foster father’s job, so I don’t thrust my head. They looked hard to find the scriptures and received a lot of information about the Ahrensbach nobility, so I don’t think it would be bad for the Dardorf family.

“I’m glad the scriptures are back. I thought what would happen at one time”

¡Fran, who waited while waking up in the temple, looked back at the scriptures that came back and happily broke his face. I nodded and hugged the scriptures again.

“Come back, my scripture”
