Chapter 130

Euris takes us on a walk through Fage territory .

Elia has also parked her carriage and is following us .

The residents of the territory look at us and gossip in secret .

Rather than being suspicious, they simply seemed to be interested .

I and Mea both look conspicuous from the point of view of a Norcs, so they must have immediately recognized the person who hadnt been in the territory before .

One man runs up and calls out to me .

H-, hey, you dont look familiar, but you came from outside the territory, right? Dont tell me you made it through Nalgarn?

Yes, theres a corpse in the plains, so I thought Id have the Adventurers Support Center help me retrieve it later

That is, if the Adventurers Support Center was functioning .

There should be an Adventurers Support Center here as well, but its doubtful that its doing its job properly given the situation in the territory .

A corpse? I-, Is Nalgarn dead?

I didnt want to weirdly stand out, so would it be better If I didnt say too much .

No, it will be clear soon, so there is no need to hide it poorly .

Yes, like this, Im going to tear off the neck with a short clip .

With a sizzling motion of my hand, I explain the fight with Nalgarn in the simplest way possible .

I, I dont really understand but is Nalgarn gone? Thats it, right!

The man grabs me by the shoulders forcefully .

I can see the people who have been eavesdropping on the conversation buzzing .

Ahhh, yeah, I know, but well, just dont put too much pressure on it, its going to come off .

M-my bad, brother

The man lets go of my shoulder .

I turned my shoulder for a moment and tested the joint to see if it was okay .

There was a rattling sound . I decided it was my imagination .

Did you hear that, you guys! I hear Nalgarn is gone!

The man turns back to the other residents who are watching him and shouts loudly .

I-, I dont have to follow Larks words anymore!

Oh, yes! You dont have to worship that red-haired idiots face!

Sa-, saying things that embarrass my lord in front of us is

Euris cringes in annoyance .

Shut up, Larks dog!

Think of it as your last day to look big!

A few of the residents stick around to rebel against Euris words .

They dont look very calm .

But does that big guy goes down that easily? . I wont believe it until I see Nalgarns body!

Ah, its at the entrance to the village .

Whoa!

When I tell them the location of Nalgarns corpse, the residents who have been listening to me run to their side .

All of the feisty-looking layers of the residents have left, and the commotion has calmed down .

Apparently, it seems that Lark is really hated .

I wonder if this territory is on the verge of civil war .

Yukes stood up straight for a while with a stiff face, but when his eyes met mine, his head shakes as if he remembered, lowered his head, and laughed in a bad way .

You-, you have seen in an unsightly thing, wawawa The-, then, lets hurry to the lords mansion .

After all, cant I just say hello another day?

To be honest, I dont want to see him anymore and more .

I even have a feeling that if I get involved in this situation, the other residents might even see me as an eyesore .

N, no! We dont take time, so dont worry! Really, its okay to show a little of your face!

Ah, okay .

Well, no matter how bad his reputation is, how bad his character is, or how little support he has, hes still the lord here .

As long as the other side doesnt come out and say anything reckless, its better to be friendly to them .

The fact that there would be a problem was something I was prepared for to a certain extent when I set my destination in the Fage territory .

Even so, the risk of being sniffed out by Gizel and the Doom tribe is low here, and we decided that it was safe .

I just dont want to be taken advantage of, so I want to be careful about that .

I dont want to create a second Gaston .

Hmm, is that?

As I followed Euris through the territory, I saw a group of people gathered in the square .

In the center of the gathering, a man with a gentle, threadbare face is standing in the center of the crowd .

He was wearing a pale blue robe and around his neck hung a necklace with an ornamental decoration that resembled a three-pronged spear .

That ornamental spear, its the one the water god has

Levi, the god of water, is said to have created the oceans and given life to the world .

He is said to be a three-eyed giant, with a blue body and covered in scales .

He is usually depicted holding a great three-pronged spear . The spear is often referred to simply as Levis Spear .

It is mainly worshipped by the country of Riveras, deep in the Fage territory .

This is Ringus-san, a missionary . He left the Riveras Country for training and came over the rugged border mountains to this territory .

Rather than a journey for training, it was more likely that he had fled because he couldnt stand the war inside .

No, I was told that hes calmed down now .

Heh, thats amazing that you crossed over by yourself from that country over there by yourself . I heard there are a lot of magic beasts in there .

I heard that Ringus-san is good at magic that erases presences . Even so, I heard it was a rather dangerous road

I turn to look at Ringus .

Its in times of distress that a persons true worth is tested! Dont hit the people around you with an unspoken lament or clamp down on others! They will eventually come back to you . One of the words that Lord Levi is said to have said is, All things circulate . Water and action are the same again . he said .

Ringus is holding a thick blue book in his hand, talking to the residents about this and that with fervor in his words .

The audience all seemed quite enthusiastic .

Ringus-san has been a great help to us . Thanks to his admonition to the people, the number of people who try to commit violent acts against our lord has decreased significantly

with the way you said it, youre still around sometimes .

Euris held her mouth as if to say shed put it away and gave a deceptively twitchy smile .

Thank you always for everything, Ringus-san!

The strong man bows his head to Ringus .

Ringus smiles and takes his hand .

Nono, The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that you are not of your sect, and I am sorry that I can only talk about this . I hope that I can be of some support to you all, even if its just a little bit

Oh, dont be so modest, sir! If it wasnt for Mr . Rings, this territory would have been more awkward!

Unlike Lark, that missionary seems to be quite well-liked .

The more difficult times are the ones when people need a place to rest their minds .

It is much more valuable than an incompetent lord .
