Is hanging the three carriage travel of Cecil Family symbol on the King's city street, is in the carriage of head, sorceress Jibril turned on the lap on window, is bringing a curiosity, but maintains discretely is sizing up this city.
She grew up in the poor backward Southern Region area birth, before knowing „eldest sister” Amber, her entire world was in dark dirty the sewer corner the small town, the low worn-out poor streets and alleys as well as the decayed ill-smelling garbage heap comprised, but then such as overwhelming majority Ainz person such, she also had the opportunity to hear with this great King's city related story-- from occasionally passed by the recitation roaming poet , the adventurer who line of gab, in the sly vigilant merchant mouth, she has outlined the appearance in this city imagination, she has imagined that big grand city wall, splendid church, style uncommon aristocrat mansion, as well as. King your majesty lives, that pasted completely the silver leaf „Silver Castle”.
In these take the swindler and sorceress mingle among the day in sewer mean alley, she knows that is impossible to visit King's city depending on own status and ability, do not say visits King's city, so long as she even dares to step into the big point city to be held and whipped by the feudal lord, but the destiny sometimes is such marvelous-- these words she is always familiar with, when wears the hood and a divination set of sign is used to flicker these adventurers, but she wants saying that at this time very much to oneself-- under marvelous destiny arrangement, she has become a dignified person, gives loyalty to the person of big aristocrat, but this place. In the past had King's city in imagination merely, at this moment in her at present.
It truly such as recited such that the roaming poets and adventurers said that was grand and grand.
But actually everywhere revealed that is obsolete and dirty.
Jibril knits the brows, saw that the both sides of King's city street proliferate the contamination, in the big city wall also many worn-out poor streets and alleys, this walks, she saw in the same old way poor and by „outcastes that” in rags the soldier drives away, she thought herself regarding the King's city happy imagination little avalanche.
This truly is a sublime ancient capital city, from the inside story and scale, it has no qualms in the head of Ainz, but Jibril discovered oneself like Cecil territory that clean neat street and systematic city, official who likes there full of vigor and vitality people and scrupulously follows the law.
But before she records sincerely just before leaving , the duty that receives, all mood changes very well were therefore hidden by her, she is having the graceful appropriate smile, has put down the lap of carriage compartment, turns the head to look to sitting in oneself opposite that young Arcanist: „Does Mr. Sanctis, we go to the hotel of Sir Duke directly?”
Some Sanctis state of mind difficult draws, hesitant a moment later he to open the mouth saying: „I think...... First goes home.”
He hurries to supplement: „Naturally, the Duke duty is more vital, if you think improper, we first go to Crown Street No. 4......”
„Does not need like this cautious, Mr. Sanctis,” sorceress Jibril smiles slightly, like one true, the family background young aristocrat or mage apprentice such of rich merchant family, „according to the order of Duke, you are the leader of this motion, I and Pierce will only provide the necessary suggestion and assistance to you. You only need according to you think that the reasonable plan moves then.”
„Good...... Good,” Sanctis is a little not familiar with nod, and slightly somewhat afraid turns away, diligently disagreement/not with opposite that has a flax color long hair, to wear the black long skirt and facial features beautifully charming „sorceress” looking at each other, „that we first...... Goes to the cross road. Right, the remaining two horse-drawn vehicles can go to Crown Street No. 4 first, does not use together with-- the street of cross road is very narrow.”
Sits interrupted in nearby high thin male hears word: „Mr. Sanctis, if our horse-drawn vehicles can enter the cross road, then another two definitely, I suggested to let two accompanying horse-drawn vehicles-- you in going home should as far as possible the high-sounding talk, this was a stance.”
Sanctis has gawked, along with it nod: „, Good, Mr. Pierce.”
Is the guard „fast walker” Pierce has knocked compartment front plank, to sitting shouts outside driving guide: „Cross road!”
Three horse-drawn vehicles turned round on the street, change the King's city common people region.
Sanctis thought that „” float of own heart in this process gets up, a feeling of nowhere whereabouts is twining him, his deep breath several, therefore mixes with the rich fishy smell unusual smell cold air then to drill into his nostril: The carriage after the sturgeon street, here fish fishy smell can even cover street corner these stinks of thing of defecating and urinating.
Even if the present is in the winter, that rotten stink actually because also has soaked each brick on full street unable to linger, revolting.
He cannot bear turn on the window lap, looks at outside street scene.
The familiar vista maps his view.
Low, disorderly and crowded common people residence piles up like the overlapping moss under the city wall, because the weather is cold, only then the fragmentary several stall keepers on the street, the pedestrian are few, several faces that occasionally sees are flooding all numbly, these numb people are swaying on the street like the good-for-nothing, as if the diet of coldness and malnutrition of winter has made these people lose all expression changes, however they have suddenly „brightly” time--, when is hanging the carriage of aristocrat symbol to roll by the street, these expression numb poor almost will crawl immediately then , the forehead is tight. Pastes in the ground, their responses are such rapidness, resembles this is their inherent instinct is ordinary.
Sanctis brow slightly wrinkle, but this moment carriage has rolled by the short sturgeon street, entered well slightly „cross block”.
The cross road is the place that intermediate level „resident” lives, will have the person of status and wealth slightly will live here, with being the sturgeon street in poor block will compare, here room will be obviously bigger, but these will walk the person on road obviously to be also more energetic.
They when saw that the aristocrat carriage does not need to crawl immediately in the place, but must hide by the street immediately, and bends the waist to is lower than the altitude of carriage glass absolutely-- common people must do this, this is to prevent them uses the dirty line of sight gaze possibly to look from the glass probe head to outside aristocrat.
Only then even higher block that the wealthy resident, receives baptized lives, these accept has taught blessings „dignified person” not to need to do this, their only needing stands by the street bends the waist to salute then.
In King's city, the custom naturally compared with the places of border these wild must.
Comes from the cross road, the promotion is 2nd Level Arcanist Sanctis is „child who this block most has prospects”, his mage rank is also the life in the highest achievement that the person in this region can achieve until now, in the past, even if Sanctis mixes in the mage learned how not to be again unpleasant, how to be pushed aside again, he returns to the block time is also bringing proud, is now, saw that these in the neighbor neighbor who by the street deeply lowered the head, in his heart actually only then an intermittent worriedness.
Here does not change, leaves with him exactly the same.
Last year cross road was this, the ten years ago cross roads were also this, 100 years ago cross road this!
But in Cecil territory, one year of time sets up a city sufficiently, makes the child learned that one crowd is not literate write itself sufficiently and name of parental family member, came from the Gondor Wasteland monster to hit sufficiently these twice!
Sanctis is thinking worriedly, then suddenly saw that the streets and alleys corner has a little girl to look here dull.
That little girl puts on neatly, but obsolete women's clothing, on women's clothing only then a patch, she is combing two neat ponytails, the cheek freezes in the cold wind blushes, two are holding bulging cloth sack.
She seemed just walked from some corner, did not have bends the waist to salute to the aristocrat carriage with enough time, but a little cannot respond that looks here.
Sanctis has gawked, afterward makes noise to shout: „Peppe!”
However that little girl before he opens the mouth suddenly ran off, as if has not heard his following words.
„Who is that?” Sits asks opposite Jibril curiously.
„My younger sister,” the Sanctis tone is somewhat strange, „why can she run?”
The little girls fast run street, runs up to one seems is newer than before the surroundings building the point the house, hurriedly pushes the door to run, a wear old cotton-padded jacket and old apron, are hearing the sound to raise the head in the middle-aged woman of room central attrition herbal medicine, sees own youngest daughter surprisedly: „Peppe? Did you such quickly come back? Gave Mr. Wayne the herbal medicine?”
Afterward she saw cloth sack in little girl hand, the brow cannot help but wrinkled, but before she opened the mouth to reprove, the little girl stutter has opened the mouth because of the anxiety: „Mother...... Mom! Outside came three very big horse-drawn vehicles! Is the aristocrat! On the carriage is hanging...... Is hanging the symbol, when with Elder Brother previous time mails a letter, on letter paper picture is the same!”
The middle-aged woman has been startled, suddenly the hand shakes, the wooden hammer that the attrition herbal medicine uses then falls on the ground.
She cannot attend to picking, immediately then stands up, is staring at youngest daughter's eyes: „Did you see clearly? Really is that symbol? The symbol of sword and plow?”
In the little girls grasp begin cloth sack, is somewhat anxious and fear: „Saw clearly......”
„That is the Cecil Family symbol...... Is person who Duke Cecil sends...... You noticed that on the carriage also has other thing? On are the cart driver hat or the clothes clamping the dead chrysanthemum? On driving horse hangs is having the cloth strip of white flower petal?”
The little girls as if had been daunted by oneself mother, could not speak anxiously all of a sudden, but the gate to inside room opened in this time, the husband of this family/home heard the sound to walk: „How? Outside I hear am very noisy.”
„Dear, the Duke Cecil person, coming three horse-drawn vehicles......” the mistress of this family/home to make an effort to twist, „can Sanctis have an accident? I early have told him, Dark Mountain Range is a very dangerous place, making him surely careful, he is always actually believing to say......”
„Calms down,” middle-aged man said, „Sanctis is only 2nd Level Arcanist, Duke is impossible to send three horse-drawn vehicles to inform......”
At this moment, knock transmits suddenly.
The man and woman almost then stretch the straight body immediately, they breathed stopped the flash, and was fixing the eyes on the main house gate direction, but stood the little girl who left the gate recent position almost to jump.
The knock in the sound, the little girl a little at a loss has still gawked, afterward moves toward the main house gate subconsciously.
„wait a moment, I go.”
Middle-aged man was saying, before while crosses own wife and daughter arrives at the gate.
He opens the door, the cold wind heads on, is high and thin form stands there.
The little girls stood in oneself father behind, called happily: „Is the Elder Brother!”
