This is snowing of wide scope.
Snowflake of fluttering from Dark Mountain Range continuously as be continuous as rock fort north, about 1/3 Southern Region lands by this winter beginning the snow dyed pure white, but crossed the rock fort to north, in the Ainz land of length and breadth, east a small number of regions and entire Northern Region also welcomed vast snowing similarly- snow as if changed the entire world in a night, the active human society was dormant rapidly in the cold winter, Holy Spirit Plain fell into a silence, the army of east front changed over to confronts, the Western Region border trade announced the suspension, but Grand Duke of north- has arrived most approaches on noble territory of rock fort.
In Pompeii Earl family castle, the flame in fireplace in flaming is burning, the precious gold/metal oak was treated as the firewood, sends out in the flame is making the person mind tranquil delicate fragrance, the fireplace bright flame illuminated the reception room that is laying down the golden red rug, these gold and silver in the reception room hits the system on the household utensils and lampstand casts the light shadow that the twinkle drags , the light shadow drags, on the Pompeii Earl round fat face is building is flattering with slightly to bring a tense smiling face.
The big aristocrat in this plain border region to leans forward body: „Your arrival really made me more relieved- , since south side that fort exchanged ownerships, I have not slept day of calm and steady, these Cecil people in must insert construct big pile of magics to install, my pitiful castle really does not know that which sky will collapse in the evening......”
Victoria? Wilde Duchess puts on one snow white to bring the light blue pattern the long skirt, the silver-white sending silk pulls high after the brain, two wisps dangle by the ear, sends the golden silk thread that in the silk weaves to sparkle to shine in the flame of fireplace, she looked at present Pompeii Earl one: „As far as I know, since the rock fort exchanges ownerships, Duke Cecil has not expanded outward, has not attacked your territory.”
„...... This truly so,” Pompeii Earl scratched forehead- he has not perspired, but in being known as „the north queen” in front of Wilde Duchess of name, no one will not feel anxious, this Duchess is the kingdom most powerful aristocrat on the spot, has the severe callous wind to comment, what is more important she also controls Silver Castle now, but Pompeii Earl not only lost rock fort stretch of nominal manor, but also lost lots of family knights and soldiers in the process of support rock fort, this by him while careful maintenance and Southern Region relations must strive for the aid of King's city as far as possible, This moment speech nature is cautious, „the army of Cecil person has not trod rock fort one step, but they have increased the build fortifications on the north city wall of fort, this is very discomforting.”
„That Founding Hero does not hope evidently we go to ‚disturbance’ he......” side Victoria, wears a white female Priest long gown, makings calm tranquil Veronica breaks suddenly silent said in a soft voice.
The Victoria slight nod, and looks at Pompeii Earl: „Besides the construction work, what the Cecil person is still making?”
Chubby Mr. Earl thinks: „They tore down the southern city wall in rock fort- or blasted it, then has not repaired- built up one south the fort ‚rock stone wall’, they forbid people to cross the rock stone wall, but rock Shicheng is open to the merchant and envoy.”
„Transformed the rock fort a fort city that had both the trade function......” Victoria is hesitating, „said, you have gone to the rock stone wall?”
„I...... my territory lot of work, cannot go personally,” Pompeii Earl scratched the smooth forehead again, said embarrassedly „does not dare to go to” several characters, „, but I have been paying attention to there, and has sent the envoy. Rock Shichengli everywhere is the magic installment that the Cecil person constructs, a very giant market, they opened the strobe of Colgong river, allowing Holy Spirit Plain the wharf of merchant by market area to anchor, that market attracted very many merchants- you know, so long as the merchant sees money, basically is reckless......”
Victoria has not responded, but looked at present Pompeii Earl one lightly.
This was also once had illustrious military exploits the descendant of big knight, however had a high and respected position so many generations in gentle Holy Spirit Plain, the brave and courageous spirit had vanished in this bloodlines- as the owner of this lands, this Mr. Earl at least did a duty-bound matter, knew the situation in rock fort as far as possible.
The wind and snow sound outside castle has stood still gradually.
Victoria Duchess stood up, stands goes forward to reorganize for her in side black hair maid Maggie immediately was having some folds women's clothing slightly, this north ruler looks at Pompeii Earl that also stood up, said lightly: „Did your best counts Southern Region in the past year to the Holy Spirit Plain trade information, counted to have many merchants and they relates, counts the merchant who they sent, in addition after had the rock fort exchanged ownerships, commodity that they mainly purchase.”
On Pompeii Earl that Caroline Zhang's face this time really seeped out sweat: „This...... good, I will try the best......”
In the paper pile that must pile up from these disorderly mess counts several credible numbers is not a simple matter, will walk the merchant who the merchant of alley or will bribe the soldier not to appear in receiving the list of tax officer, as the ruler of this lands, Pompeii Earl will not even talk clearly own territory last each month probably many merchants to come and go out- since, but Duchess has ordered, he must complete as far as possible.
It seems like that if tonight sleepless night.
Looks at Pompeii Earl that awkward look, in the Victoria heart sighs again.
The statistics, register the personnel, the standard law...... in seven years ago Silver Castle conferences, Eastern Region Duke had once proposed these concepts, he went to school these things in the Typhon person, and once wish made the Ainz person also learn them diligently, however seven years pass by now, has Eastern Region become a rebel army, Silas? Loren Grand Duke has not actually popularized in the request that Silver Castle set to the Holy Spirit Plain south......
Silas? Loren...... couldn't you see the hope?
Weiluoliya? Wilde left the castle imperial palace, after that motley ancient outer wall winding corridor, she arrived in the Pompeii Castle top terrace.
The wind and snow have stopped, however in the nighttime sky still had the snowflake to fall gently once for a while, that is the snowflake that on tower and roof save sprinkles in the night wind, these snowflakes flutter are surrounding the terrace, avoided the Victoria Duchess side more than ten meters scopes automatically, just like awe.
With constructing in the summit of hills, overlooks the thousand li (500 km) snow and ice Coldwinter Castle to compare, the family castle that Pompeii Earl is proud must appear diminutive, poor, but it still occupies the best topography, has an outstanding terrace, stands in the terrace, the dead ahead of Victoria field of vision is the Southern Region mountain pass continuous hills, and rock fort in hills.
The middle almost not obstructs the down country of no keeping off.
No wonder Pompeii Earl will sleep on pins and needles.
Under the deep dim light of night, the rock fort is in Dark Mountains a brightest light source, by the Extraordinary keen vision, Victoria can see that ray is by establishes massively forms in the light on city wall and tower- these lights faces each direction, they can illuminate various checkpoints, can, when the enemy tries to attack disturbs attack the line of sight, making it be hard to aim at the shooter or mage in wall pile and sentry post tower.
Besides these photo sources, outside the entire rock fort also covers a protecting shield of sending out glimmer, that matter is protecting the shield to make the details of other entire fort regions cover under a piece of dim tissue, is hard to distinguish.
„That is the rock fort protects the shield...... the Veronica sound to transmit from side greatly”, this „Saintess Princess” does not know when has arrived at side Wilde Duchess, she is overlooking the direction of rock fort, the side is surrounding one such as past light Holy Light, „I heard that Fire Month on the 58 th, the Cecil person destroyed that matter to protect the shield...... with the magic of some powerful force not to think that they fixed quickly.”
„Protects the shield greatly is the important protective screen of rock fort, the Cecil person definitely meets first restores it, moreover magic barrier this type of thing, so long as charge and projection structure does not have the essence to damage, protects the shield to be penetrated merely is very easy to restore.”
„Is this......” Veronica said in a soft voice, she raised the head, is somewhat looking at the south lost, „...... I too do not understand the magic domain matter......”
Listens the response that this has not obviously been distracted, Wilde Duchess to give a calm smile, later then with this „Saintess Princess” the same place, in the curtain of night that in this snow stops initially for the first time stands in the terrace in castle together, calmly is appreciating this tranquil winter night.
The 2nd day, clear weather.
In the main hall in castle, Pompeii Earl also sent out the parchment of ink delicate fragrance to hand over in the hand of Victoria Duchess one volume.
On this volume of parchment is counting the Southern Region trade information in the past year sketchily, and rock fort exchanges ownerships the later merchant contact situation, its content is shallow, perhaps only then 30% are reliable, remaining 70% feared that is achievement that Pompeii Earl and one group of advisers even/including veiled have to guess.
Takes such material, even if by the Victoria intelligence and ability, cannot estimate many valuable information.
However looks at several adviser listless appearances of Pompeii Earl that red eye, Duchess knows that this is the best result.
At least Pompeii Earl can also put out this thing, rather than like these true countryside aristocrats bewildered asked oneself „anything is statistics”.
„Goes back to rest, Earl,” the Victoria words make Pompeii Earl relax, „we will bring the news.”
„Your wisdom is the Ainz biggest luck,” fat Earl bends the waist, said sincerely, „hopes your trip smooth.”
Victoria nods, turns around to leave, Veronica fell behind intentionally several steps, this Your Highness Princess said side Pompeii Earl: „Do not see off the general tone with this battlefield, the aristocrat as kingdom, showing some courage comes- that is our ancestors, does not eat the wild animal of person.”
Pompeii Earl shows a somewhat awkward and ashamed smiling face, lowers the head: „Just as you said.”
Your Highness Princess who northern Duchess and Holy Light care for left, fat Pompeii Earl remains same place, in the heart actually cannot bear say disgraceful words:
From infancy to maturity, hits him ruthlessly is his grandfather......
In addition the grandfather so, separates dozens generations now, moreover didn't have other ancestor of blood relationship to take up the pointed weapons...... that not to suppress is killing?
The envoy motorcade from King's city left Pompeii Earl castle, after this is not completely suitable the winter snow that goes out, the carriages and horses drive the kingdom main road that the snow proliferated.
Sits Victoria in magnificent carriage? Wilde raises the hand, the ordered wind blows together baseless, coerces in the motorcade about, the snow on path was blown off, winter cold was also prevented outside.
The knights of guard motorcade rap with the long sword are hanging the shield by saddle, is praising their mistresses loudly, put on the soldier of red and blue bi-color numbered clothing to sound the bugle in the team front, the military band also played the music, in the encouraging tune and melody, the messengers from St. Sunil took the footsteps to the direction of rock fort.
The Cecil city, in the feudal lord mansion, Gawain front magic circuit communication sky is reappearing the rock commander and second regiment commanders- Grunwald? Straight that the half-length projection of Pellicci knight, this respectable old knight stands: „Sir Duke, the King's city envoy has approached the rock fort.”
„Is ready, the serious reception,” the Gawain slight nod, „sent the motorcade that greeted already.”
Afterward he, on the face showed the smile: „Do not neglect- they is a big business.”
