chapter 31
At the end of Dalian, Clone No. 2 met the Emperor with Yuri. I heard a lot of stories from Yuri before meeting the emperor. Nokbong has disappeared, but the treatment, such as dispatching an escort, has improved, and it is said that he is a rare wise king, even though he has only been running state affairs for a few years. Anyway, the conclusion was that I was a bad guy after disappearing for decades. I was offended that he seemed ungrateful, so I hit a honey chestnut, and then I opened my ax eye and stared into the air.
And met the emperor. The emperor calmly said that he had never tried to disrespect the Guardian Spirit, and that he was well aware of the grace the Guardian Spirit had bestowed on the empire. Rather, I think this guy is better than Yuri. I don’t know if it’s sincere, but at least don’t you say it beautifully.
Still, there were some achievements. He brought up the situation Germain was in and asked for someone to help him. The emperor unexpectedly consented. He would be half the guard, but if there was an official who had connections with the emperor, the manor would be much easier.
In fact, in a situation where it was confirmed that I was going to be adopted by the fallen count family, I was called by Yuri and headed back to Baron Telmeyer.
“Welcome. Prince Germain”
Yuri greeted me with a ladylike smile. At the moment of the heinous thing, his expression almost crumpled, but he managed to endure it.
“See you again. ma’am”
When I bowed with respect, Yuri let out a small exclamation.
“oh! The moment Prince Germain makes his debut in the social world, there will be a real uproar.”
Will such a day ever come? At least I don’t like to go there. Even when I was living with the Francois family, my parents invited me several times, but I never went.
Because he knows what a great waste of time the social parties of nobles are. It was to the point where even as a soul with plenty of time, watching the nobles’ parties made me think that time was wasted.
“I’m not the kind of person who likes to stand out in front of people, but thank you for your high evaluation.”
First of all, I laid the ground rice and humbled myself. This is the quality of a great aristocrat
“By the way, there is a place that wants to adopt Prince Germain. If that happens, wouldn’t it be possible to solve the identity problem at once and lay the foundation?”
It’s a story you already know, but from Yuri’s point of view, Germain doesn’t know, so you have to pretend you don’t know.
“Can you guess which family it is?”
In fact, I only know it as a fallen county, but I don’t know exactly where it is.
“It was said that it used to be quite prosperous in the past when it was called Count Akasha, but honestly, the family is leaning a lot now.”
“Why adopt children in a place like that?”
“Well, first of all, Count Akasha has no children. He had a son, but he died a long time ago. And it is not the will of the family head Akasha to have the adopted son as the successor.”
“yes? what is that?”
The will of the head of the family is not reflected in bringing in a successor? What kind of goblin anus does that sound like?
“The vassals lead. Right now Count Akasha is not in good health and is not doing anything. In fact, the management of the territory is all done by the vassals.”
“therefore. Does that mean their jobs will disappear if there is no successor?”
“that’s right. That’s it.”
I know how it goes back and forth. But if that’s the case, why are you taking the quantum from the outside? Couldn’t they just let one of their sons do the right thing? There was also a corner to guess. Aren’t all people’s lives going around the same way?
“I know roughly. Then, when will we know what your intentions are?”
“Probably, just contact me and I will come to pick you up right away. In fact, I have been requesting it in various places for a very long time, but there were no suitable applicants.”
No matter how bad it is to become the heir to the county, is that so? At this point, I wanted to see how bad the state of the estate was.
“Then please contact me.”
“oh! It’s nice that Prince Germain is cool.”
Yuri became a very excited face. It looked like the face of a cat with a thorn pulled out of its neck. It seems to be getting more and more hateful.
As I left Baron Telmeyer and returned home, I cleaned up Brother Frmain and summoned the remaining No. 1 in the Propene Empire. It is difficult for No. 3 to move because he has been learning alchemy over his shoulder following a reclusive alchemist he luckily found almost 10 years ago.
In fact, the only ones I can move are number 1 and number 2. need more clones If I had known it would be like this, I would have made a lot of it before I was born again.
Even now, if you want to create an alter ego, you can still make it, but if you make an alter ego, it will be difficult for you to adapt for several months, and what if a little Germain is created just like the little soul was created as an alter ego. Of course, when little Germain comes out, you can just kill it, but isn’t that a bit like that?
That’s how I waited for a call from Countess Akasha. Countess Akasha is said to be about a week away from the ecliptic. Then you will be contacted in 3 weeks, and around that time, the alter ego 1 will also join.
I sparred with Jake once a day. However, it seems that Jake’s skills are improving more than my sense of actual combat. It was becoming more and more that I was put on the defensive. It’s not a bad thing for subordinates to improve.
I also explained to Jake the circumstances of going to adoption. Jake was just naive, but not stupid, so as soon as he heard the explanation, he suggested that it be better to cancel. I vaguely glossed over it by saying that I had an idea.
Look at this, if Jake is going to say this, Yuri, you’ve done me a great deal. In the future, glass should be avoided if possible.
Alter No. 2 has already started as Countess Akasha. There, we will gather information in advance. A few days later, the Akasha territory seen through the eyes of No. 2, which arrived at Count Akasha’s house, was worse than expected.
“hahahaha! what’s this?”
Of course, I was talking to myself because I was alone. It seems that there are barely over 100 people in the county’s estate. The house where the lord lives is just a two-story house, not even called a mansion. The horse is the lord, this is just the village chief. Fortunately, the land of Yeongji is not very small.
Then, what do the retainers here receive and do with the green wages? It’s obvious.
In the meantime, the reduced territory and property would be in the pockets of the vassals. And it must have designed me as a sacrifice for that last feast. Rather good. Normal people don’t know, but I can solve it very simply.
I looked for Count Akasha. Count Akasha was lying motionless in the bedroom of the second-floor house. I was lying down, but my eyes were open, but my eyes were already unfocused. already screwed up It seemed that this would be difficult to heal even with the Power of Healing. The power of healing is to heal the body, not the mind.
I saw a messenger sent by Yuri arrive at Count Akasha’s house and meet with those whom he called vassals. There are a total of 3 retainers. He was an administrator, a marshal, and a butler.
After the messenger returned, the vassal did not hide their hidden face, but revealed it.
“I finally caught one.”
“You’re from a noble family in the Propene Empire? Isn’t this a bit like that?”
“No, would a great and smart guy come all the way here?”
“That’s right. hehehehe”
“I can finally get out of this damn corner.”
“You said that the Marquis of Illivad would take care of everything, right?”
“Isn’t that how we’re going to pick up this remaining piece of land?”
No, I’m a great and smart guy, but a new name came out. What is the Marquis of Illivad doing? Seeing as they say they are taking the land, it must be a lord near Bona Mana.
It’s not good to fight with a nearby territory. If you fight, you shouldn’t lose, but if you win, it’s a problem, and if you lose, it’s a problem. I guess I’ll have to think about how to solve this.
Right now I have to do what I can. I started purchasing the necessary items in the Imperial City. There were many things to buy.
He also looked for a guild that could continue to trade with Yeongji. Just then, the person the emperor said he would attach appeared.
The man who visited me at the inn was a typical scholarly man in his mid-to-late 20s. The size of the soul is great, but the face is familiar if you’ve seen it somewhere.
“hello. He is called Dorvi Agelahim, Baron Baron. His Majesty the Emperor told me to help Prince Germain for a while.”
I remembered it when I heard the name. This guy is one of the Guardian Spirit’s children. He was the guy I found and sent, so of course I remember him.
“You are one of the children of the Guardian Spirit. Nice to meet you. My name is Germain Francois. Although the last name will be changed to Akasha soon. I am also a child of a guardian spirit. i look forward to.”
Dorby was startled and took my hand.
“How did you know I was a child of a guardian spirit? Few people know.”
“There was a time when Suhoryeongnim called them seniors and showed them a list.”
Dorby nodded his head even though he had a slightly doubtful look on his face.
“I heard that when the guardian spirit found it, it was very dangerous as it was surrounded by wolves.”
added a word. When I found Dorby, he was surrounded by wolves in the middle of the mountain and was on the verge of becoming wolf food. I was tired of tears, runny nose, and even peeing.
“Ah, did the Guardian Spirit tell you that?”
Now, it seems that the doubt has been dispelled. This is a story that no one knows except for the guardian spirit and yourself.
“By any chance, in which department of the imperial palace did Baron Dorby work?”
“I was in the Treasury. Why?”
It just went well. The right talent has appeared. Could this be the emperor’s arrangement?
“As far as I know, the Akasha county is so underdeveloped that there is no guild coming and going there. So, I’m looking for a trade union that can do business with it in advance, so can you help me?”
If you belonged to the Ministry of Finance, you would know a little about the Merchant.
“Hmm, it’s going to be difficult to find a caravan to go there on purpose to do small trades.”
“Now there will be a special product in the Akasha county. If you can monopolize that as a top tier, that would be a good deal.”
“What kind of specialty is it?”
“I know how to do a little crafting of magic items. Especially for subspace items.”
In the past few days, all of the things he bought while wandering around the ecliptic were materials and tools for crafting magic items.
“Oh, that is very precious. Well, if that’s the case, I think we’ll find the top somehow.”
But Dorby’s eyes didn’t say that. It must be doubtful that I can really make subspace equipment. It’s a natural question.
“First of all, this is a sample.”
I deliberately opened the subspace in front of them, took out a subspace bag from there, and handed it to Dorby. Dorby received the subspace bag, tried it on himself, and looked around the bag.
“This is a very high-level subspace device.”
“It’s about four carriages.”
“At this level, if the items come out steadily, will the merchants who want to trade line up…?”
Dorby’s body, which had been talking suddenly, stiffened as if suddenly paralyzed. Then, suddenly, he ran in front of me.
“What are you doing!?”
“What?”
“Didn’t you take out the subspace bag from within the subspace?”
“Yes, it was.”
Originally, subspace and subspace do not overlap. It is common knowledge of this world that is widely known. In the absence of Inclonius, I am the only person in the world who can use this.
“Isn’t that not okay!”
“There is nothing in this world that is not possible. I can’t.”
I got a little arrogant in front of Dorby who suddenly turned red and screamed.
“Are you willing to help me a little now?”
He probably didn’t like that he came here to help me in the first place. it would be like me Dorby calmed down for a moment, then let out a big sigh and spoke.
“I looked ugly. Yes, I will no longer doubt Prince Germain’s abilities. Is there anything you haven’t shown me yet?”
“It must be quite a lot?”
I smiled like ether.
