Saikyou Juzoku Tensei ~Cheat Majutsushi no Slow Life~-Chapter 130 - Episode Five
Chapter 130 - Episode Five
Euris takes us on a walk through Fage territory.
Elia has also parked her carriage and is following us. πππeπΈππ―π―πΌπel.ππm
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 hadnβt been in the territory before.
One man runs up and calls out to me.
βH-, hey, you donβt look familiar, but you came from outside the territory, right? Donβt tell me you made it through Nalgarn?β
βYes, thereβs a corpse in the plains, so I thought Iβd have the Adventurerβs Support Center help me retrieve it laterβ¦β¦β
That is, if the Adventurerβs Support Center was functioning.
There should be an Adventurerβs Support Center here as well, but itβs doubtful that itβs doing its job properly given the situation in the territory.
βA corpseβ¦β¦? I-, Is Nalgarn dead?β
I didnβt want to weirdly stand out, so would it be better If I didnβt say too much.
No, it will be clear soon, so there is no need to hide it poorly.
βYes, like this, Iβm going to tear off the neck with a short clip.β
With a sizzling motion of my hand, I explain the fight with Nalgarn in the simplest way possible.
βI, I donβt really understandβ¦β¦ but is Nalgarn gone? Thatβs it, right!β
The man grabs me by the shoulders forcefully.
I can see the people who have been eavesdropping on the conversation buzzing.
βAhhh, yeah, I know, but β¦ well, just donβt put too much pressure on it, itβs going to come off.β
βM-my bad, brotherβ¦β¦β
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.
βDid you hear that, you guys! I hear Nalgarn is gone!β
The man turns back to the other residents who are watching him and shouts loudly.
βI-, I donβt have to follow Larkβs words anymore!β
βOh, yes! You donβt have to worship that red-haired idiotβs face!β
βSa-, saying things that embarrass my lord in front of us isβ¦β¦β
Euris cringes in annoyance.
βShut up, Larkβs dog!β
βThink of it as your last day to look big!β
A few of the residents stick around to rebel against Eurisβ words.
β¦β¦ They donβt look very calm.
βBut does that big guy goes down that easily?. I wonβt believe it until I see Nalgarnβs body!β
ββ¦β¦ Ah, itβs at the entrance to the village.β
β βWhoa!β β
When I tell them the location of Nalgarnβs 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.
β¦β¦ 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.
βYou-, you have seen in an unsightly thing, wawawaβ¦β¦ The-, then, letβs hurry to the lordβs mansion.β
ββ¦β¦ After all, canβt I just say hello another day?β
To be honest, I donβt 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.
βN, no! We donβt take time, so donβt worry! Really, itβs okay to show a little of your face!β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦ Ah, okay.β
β¦β¦ Well, no matter how bad his reputation is, how bad his character is, or how little support he has, heβs still the lord here.
As long as the other side doesnβt come out and say anything reckless, itβs 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 donβt want to be taken advantage of, so I want to be careful about that.
I donβt want to create a second Gaston.
βHmm, is thatβ¦β¦?β
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.
βThat ornamental spear, itβs the one the water god hasβ¦β¦β
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 βLeviβs Spearβ.
It is mainly worshipped by the country of Riveras, deep in the Fage territory.
βThis is Ringus-san, a missionary. He left the Riveras Country for training and came over the rugged border mountains to this territory.β
Rather than a journey for training, it was more likely that he had fled because he couldnβt stand the war inside.
No, I was told that heβs calmed down now.
βHeh, thatβs amazing that you crossed over by yourself from that country over thereβ¦β¦ by yourself. I heard there are a lot of magic beasts in there.β
βI heard that Ringus-san is good at magic that erases presences. Even so, I heard it was a rather dangerous roadβ¦β¦β
I turn to look at Ringus.
βItβs in times of distress that a personβs true worth is tested! Donβt 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, βAll things circulate. Water and action are the same again.β he said.β
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.
βRingus-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 significantlyβ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦ with the way you said it, youβre still around sometimes.β
Euris held her mouth as if to say sheβd put it away and gave a deceptively twitchy smile.
βThank you always for everything, Ringus-san!β
The strong man bows his head to Ringus.
Ringus smiles and takes his hand.
βNono, 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 itβs just a little bitβ¦β¦β
βOh, donβt be so modest, sir! If it wasnβt for Mr. Rings, this territory would have been more awkward!β
β¦β¦ 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.
