Episode 124 Rehearsal

Time goes back again.

The location is the backyard of a stylish mansion in the corner of Landgries, King's Capital of the Kingdom of Dabus.

"Toni too!? Yes, now everyone. Congratulations!"

Lane congratulated the six slaves kneeling before him.

The slaves stand on their knees and clamour, "Thank you, my lord".

Seeing it, Lane nodded satisfactorily and knelt to the ground without even loathing the skirt's hem getting dirty.

To gaze at the slaves.

Everybody, look up.

When the slaves raised their faces, there was a face of Lane with a full smile on his face and a happy disgruntled affair.

It's a smile that makes us proud that our actions brought this grin to our attention.

Just then, Baron Gegran, Lane's father, seemed to have returned home, and his voice rose by the gate.

"Oh, your father is back. I have to go. But you did a great job with Toni. I can tell you to be excited about your meal tonight. I can't eat with you, but we're good friends."

That being said, Lane got up and ran away.

All six of them are slaves bought by Lane about six months ago.

To be precise, Baron Geglan, who was deflected by Lane, bought it so he is a slave to the Baron, but I don't care about that if I try to make him a slave who serves the "house".

Anyway, the baron broke when he said he wanted a child's slave when there was a lane that rarely spoke of me.

Speaking of children, it would be quite an amount if they were as many as six, but it could also be said to be an amount that doesn't matter to a baron who eats Takalo as part of a court magician.

Instead, the baron who was concerned that the conversation between his father and daughter had decreased over the past few years, whether or not he had entered a period of defiance too early, was happy to hear me if he could buy his daughter's pleasure.

The slaves purchased were all civilians and children of slaves who worked in agriculture on the outskirts of Landgries.

There is no significant difference in the age of each person and they are not even six months apart at the top and bottom.

At the time of purchase, they were all eight years old and three or four years below the lane at the time.

The difference is about the origin and associated nutritional status.

After purchasing the slaves, Lane began educating them to find time and make them remember the magic.

It should be noted that, naturally, I didn't go to magic to pour all my time into the house because of cleaning, laundry and other work, but since I had built it up to a distance in the corner of the grounds and they all woke up there, it was time for Lane lectures in the evenings and nights.

Education on reading, writing and arithmetic was also provided.

And today, it came to pass.

All six of them succeeded in gaining special skills in magic.

That day, oddly enough, was the day Baron Gegran told Prince Alexander Belgrid about his daughter at the Royal Castle.

Then six months later.

In this meagre amount of time the magical level of all slaves had reached three.

Has the amount of magic increased commensurately, or is it just an improvement in keeping an eye out?

Yet another month went by and Lane went to the labyrinth of Benkelish for the first time before she had grown up.

By this time, Lane had also admitted to the opinion that "if you hurt and kill a creature, your level of experience will rise," so she also worried about accompanying the slaves.

but didn't dare to bring them in at that time.

The princes and princes of stature, as well as the knights of high-powered escorts, are on the same side, so there was also a reason that sufficient escort power was secured, but it was decided that the revelations of the slaves were still premature.

Of course, it was also Lane's true that there was a strict fact that slaves could not be expected as a force of war at all times except by magic, but above all because all slaves were still young and had no experience of killing each other.

In his first labyrinth row, Lane thought of the importance of white soldier power.

So he decided to order his own tutor, a skilled combat slave, to make them do sword planting.

He was a reluctant combat slave to Lane's desire to keep a secret from the Baron, the head of the Gegran family, because he would be opposed anyway, but Lane also broke this, battle slave named Stiff Jean, when he said he would train him in magic instead.

Gene didn't think that magic could be used now, etc., because the six slaves under Lane's guidance did know that magic could be used.

A slave who can use magic is precious.

The salary will surely go up.

Regardless of the dream story of bouncing yourself back to boulders with it, the amount of salary that would have jumped was appealing to Gene.

In particular, Lane had Lane's thoughts as well.

First of all, I had become aware of and fond of her tutor, Gene, for her serious personality over the years of instruction.

Sometimes the baron has just run around and looked around to educate his eldest daughter about the White Soldiers, and he even has quite a few swords and spears of skill.

Not as a substitute for teaching me the White Soldier War, but it wasn't hard to imagine how much I would owe her if I could teach and use magic.

To the best of her knowledge at the time, Gene is the strongest in the White Soldier Battle.

Naturally, I understood about the fact that there would be stronger ones in the world, but they were the strongest without a multiplier among the people I had actually seen.

It was said that Dwarf's man, who was a former salaried man within her companion, was the strongest in the Battle of the White Soldiers, but she had only seen a mock fight like the one played in the courtyard of the Royal Palace.

In the first place, the man has been with the Knights of White Phoenix since we met, and there seems to be no time for conversation or busy conversation, and sometimes he only knew a few superficial things about his humanity.

Lane had quite a few moves as a magician, but at the same time was familiar with the magician's weaknesses.

It is no exaggeration to say that you will be completely defenseless, especially when focusing your mind on exercising witchcraft.

This was because spiritual concentration in exercising magic, no matter how good the operator, was absolutely inevitable, and it was self-evident that the time would be difficult to exercise continuously, even if sufficient magic remained, feeling spiritual fatigue according to the magic used, even if it was made marginal by skill.

Lane himself gives a self-assessment that he would be "perhaps the best mage in the world (Aus) or close to it" about himself.

Anyway, I was able to release Stone Javelin in front of adults in a small amount of concentration time, and I didn't even know how to use magic once and for all.

He also made them even reproduce lost magic such as air whips, stone skins and fire penetrators that remain in the literature alone.

In addition, since the amount of magic held is also estimated to be hundreds of times greater than that of an ordinary person, we can say that it is a sufficiently accurate self-assessment if future growth is taken into account.

Anyway, it had been concluded that in the past few years, for an "increase in the level of experience", creatures needed to be killed, and that it would inevitably be a shortcut to overlap combat.

She herself does not like all combat behavior, starting with every feud, but understands that an "increased level of experience" is a useful one in itself.

I'm sure he also feels the need to defeat or hunt demons for it.

But if you do that, you will sometimes encounter powerful demons.

In doing so, it was a natural idea to want the truly trustworthy to protect themselves.

So, if there is, a serious Gene comes to mind first, it was just a story.

However, Gene's age was in his mid-thirties at the time, and there is no reason to be able to move smartly forever.

I had to raise someone to be his successor before that happened.

The majority of the reasons for purchasing child slaves were also the implications of investigations and experiments in the process of instilling magic, but there was also the aspect of raising Gene's successor.

At any rate, it didn't take long for the six slaves and Gene, who planted white soldier warfare moves on them, to have a sense of admiration for Lane and dedicate absolute loyalty.

I have led them several times to the labyrinth of Benkerish, but there was still only the great labyrinth that was famous in the world, and the more hierarchical they overlapped, the more they often struggled.

Gene, who is skillful, often suffers major injuries, and given the experience gained, Lane himself doesn't go to clean everything up.

And most importantly, Lane doesn't have time for himself.

Years later.

Lane had led them several times to the labyrinth of Benkelish, but he also deplored that the labyrinth was a place full of danger.

So I was looking for a place outside the labyrinth where I was likely to gain experience killing demons.

As a result, it was concluded that the Dart Plains would be appropriate.

The deeper the Dart Plains go, the darker the demonic shadow becomes and the more opportunities you have to encounter it.

There are still unknown and dangerous demons, but powerful and affordable demons like oak, hobgoblins, and centaurs are essential there.

At the time, even without her, she was able to fight endangered in two layers of Benkelish's labyrinth, and she thought that there would be no major problem with her opponents to that extent.

The risk of inadvertent hitting is great because of the thick vegetation and the many places to hide yourself, but it is also advantageous because the opposite is true and there are many opportunities for it here.

It is also possible to escape in all directions, unlike the labyrinth blocked by walls.

Of course, it was possible to go on her own and kill her all she wanted, but it was the neck that all the people she was planting as her shield were slave classes.

Slaves are difficult to move across territory without a corresponding reason.

I can't help it, so I said, "I want the Gegran family's private soldiers to take down demons and stuff and raise their level of experience, but if it's a labyrinth in Benkerish, there's a big danger to the boulders. At last, I want you to be a member of the military in the form of volunteers. But I don't want it incorporated into the normal chain of command, and I want it treated as an independent subunit," he asked the prince.

At first glance it is a luxurious wish, but it was approved without particular disproportion in the Kingdom of Dabus, where the power of the aristocratic class extends to within the army.

In particular, only the condition that the outbreak of territorial conflict could be incorporated under the command of the local forces was drunk, but killing enemy soldiers was consistent with the objective of "raising the level of experience" and therefore did not go to the boulders to reject it.

As for Lane, there was also an anticipation that "it would be possible for the vicinity of the village where they would garrison to be a battlefield every five years or so," so there was no alternative but to break it off.

And time returns.

Excellent tutors and away lanes have also not neglected to train at a minimum, to the extent of protection, but both sword moves continue to be maintained.

Gene led Lane's shield was vigorously hunting demons, mainly in Kincade village, about ten kilometers east of Tankur village.

Two years went by after continuing to hunt demons in the Dart Plains.

All members have also welcomed adults very quickly, and the majority are now eighteen years old, some of them nineteen.

That demonic hunt was carried out using magic up to awesome, and had become quite famous among the Dabus army.

Says,

- The court, the magician, the leader of your army.

- No, I heard it was a royal special task force?

Says,

- The orcs I saw the other day, they were murdered, weren't they?

- Yeah, it's a ghost cruelty.

Says,

- They're never gonna miss the prey they're after.

- That's great. They're gonna let you take part in the next offensive, right?

- Finally, in action. I'm sorry about the Lombards.

Voices such as that were whispered to me.

But they can't afford to brush their arms silently without my concern for such a voice.

About once a year, it was their pleasure to return to the Wang Capital to show off their trained arms to Lane and give them compliments.

Such a decree arrived in the village of Kincade, which they make Negijo.

The village of Tankur to the west is said to be under assault by the Royal Romberto Army.

The Lomberto army was accompanied by terrible sorcery users, who sent out incredible amounts of soil to build positions on the tip of the cultivated land, and the village of Tankur was reported to have found itself in a critical situation.

Sir Damon, who will keep the Kincade Village defense team, made an immediate decision.

"Tell the White Phoenix Knights Third Independent Guard Platoon. Hurry to Tankur village with the knights of our troops and take over the enemy mages"

The Genes don't have horses as a means of mobility, and they don't have riding skills in the first place.

Naturally because he's not even a knight, but if he was traveling on cursory foot, the village of Tankur could fall.

- Are you saying it's that much of a crisis...

Gene replied, kneeling down, "As you say," and stood up immediately.

Sir Damon felt comfortable when he saw the face of an emotionless Gene.

- Mm-hmm. The boulder is the Magic Command Unit. It's a good face I'm used to in action.

"Get out now! I can't move here because I have to protect this village. But let the deputy captain lead half the defense team and send them to the backpack. I asked for it!

Back from the spot, Gene lined up his men, who had been dating for years, as he headed to a cabin in the corner of the village.

"I'm leaving in fifteen minutes because..."

Replying verbally to the understandings, the men begin to wear leather armor.

Mixed with them, Gene also wears leather armor.

"Dear Gene, is it enough that we have to go?

Hero, the longer-haired brunette who excelled in white soldier warfare moves among his men, asked gloomy.

"I'm not the one to judge that. My Lord Damon."

Gene starts to tighten the leather-armed string.

"But you've never been in a war with a human being before. Me, should I aim for the most handles?

Says Solyn, a woman whose pale black skin shows shorter orange hair.

She laughs as she plants a knife in a boot made of thick leather.

"Yeah, yeah, my arm's ringing. Kihihi."

Ursula laughs in disgust as she drops an infantry sword (short sword) on her hips, shaking her dull blonde hair.

"... don't be alarmed."

Toni, a tall man with short pruned green hair, said as he wrapped something like bowl gold around his forehead.

"That's right. There's no way we're going to tarnish Lord Lantier's name. Failure will not be tolerated."

Everyone's face tightened, Donovan said, a man who wore leather armor as soon as possible and sparkled his characteristic red eyes as he tightened the toni leather armor strings standing next to him.

"... the enemy is with the demon... just kill"

A woman with morbidly white skin and deep blue hair, Mekui growls bossy.

"Are you ready? The opponent says he is a considerable mage. According to the report, it's comparable to or more than Lady Lantier."

When Gene says as he looks around at them all, there is a laugh.

"Don't laugh like that. I don't think that's possible, either. But there are quite a few reasons to be reported as such. It seems a fairly massive piece of ground magic has been used."

Gene had a niggling, man-smelling grin when he said so.

"Heh..."

"Hey, is he a black witch?

"Maybe so."

"I'm not a big guy, I'll do it!

The voices of my men are stained with anticipation.

"The move is a horse with birding off. The knight who carries them needs to wear armor to reduce their weight. They're going the shortest distance without taking much time off. They told me we'd be able to get there because we'd be on our way."

"Indeed."

"It's starting to look like a garden around here."

"Was it last month? I hunted all the way to Tanqueray."

"If you don't have time off, will you be there in about two hours?

"... maybe"

"It would be nice to be able to ride a horse"

Seeing that the packing was starting to run out again, Gene raised his voice for departure.

An hour after sundown.

Lane's shield arrived beside the village of Tankur.

The knights who have carried them down a little in front of the village are turning back to rendezvous with the backpack.

They are around 500 m east of the village of Tankur.

The Lord Moon is climbing into the night sky, with a gentle light pouring down.
