Chapter 74: 74
"Nice to meet you, I'm Leonard Lakes Adler, the eighth prince . "
Leo bowed down to an old gray-haired woman living in the largest house in the village . The old woman, called the village chief, responds by lowering her head while shaking her small body .
"Mr . Mao, the head of the village of Hina . My name is Mao . Thank you for your help in such a village . " "No, any village is an imperial village . The royal family is responsible for all the people . "
Leo smiles softly while answering . Listening to Leo's words, another person in the house whistles .
"I'm surprised . What's so different about twins?" "How did your brother look?" "It looked great . "
A red-haired man is leaning against the wall . At the request of Al, Abel led the adventurers and took over the village escort . Leo was impressed when he saw Abel, who was an adventurer and talks to his teeth .
"I see . Then you may be surprised when you look at your usual brother . " "I hope that . I'm asking a ridiculous bounty to escort a remote village and that prince . Were all scared of what monsters would come out? "" How was it? "Asked," There are no monsters . It's a peaceful village . Seeing that he's hardened, he doesn't go out to the villagers but sees it often, but it doesn't seem like a stupid bounty . It's easy . "
Tr ans l a t ed b y ｊpｍtl . ｃo m That should be good for adventurers, but Abel seemed dissatisfied somewhere . Leo smiles with a sense of professionalism there . If the bounty is cheap, you get angry; if it's too high, you get frustrated . Adventurers are annoying . But free-living people like them liked Leo .

"It's going to be tough now . I'm going to pursue a kidnapping organization . Perhaps the lord who should govern this village is also involved . " "Huh? What's the rationale?" "I dared not go to the lord's city . However, the lord seemed to be approaching, and at that time the lord seemed to move in a very panic and suspicious movement: if he did not recognize the outlying village and ignored the request of the village, he could only show a welcome movement to me . , The lord tried to reach out to someone, and that move was enough to deepen the suspicion . "" Maybe I'm just too nervous? "" Maybe . But I came At this point, the southern nobles should be aware of my purpose, and if you don't realize it and miss it, you'll try to take the minimum action . of I'm working on it, but the lord hasn't moved yet . "" I thought I was detouring, but I was doing a lot surprisingly . It's excellent as the rumor is . " Hasn't done anything yet . "
Leo says so and looks down . That was Leo's frank impression . At the hunting festival, he led the knight but did not make a decisive strike . It was not Leo who won the trust of the two countries as the ambassador to the powers, but Al dressed as Leo . I haven't done anything since I joined the Imperial War . Therefore, Leo had extraordinary feelings in this case . I can't afford someone to attach to the emperor . Those who show their will to become emperors and cannot take action are not worthy of emperors . If you can't solve the problem of the southern frontier, it's a dream of an emperor . It was a word that came out of such thoughts .
"Well, if you think so, I guess so . It's good not to be embarrassed . Just don't rush to resolve the case, do not lose sight of it . " "Of course . " . . . Lin is a kind child . . . . I didn't show that kind of behavior even though I was the hardest and moved for the village . " " . . . Lynfia asked me anything I just imagined that something big had happened since I left the village . "" Yes . . . eleven years ago, the first harvest was eleven years ago She was three years older than Rin, when she was only five years old, and the last she was taken away was Rin's six sisters, the day she fell asleep because of her illness . . . " "Sisters take their luck . . . . " Unique iris "There is only that child among sisters Eleven years ago, many dwarf emigrants entered the country, and there was a lot of human beings targeting sub-humans and children with special powers . The frequency has decreased since His Majesty declared all the immigrants to be Imperial subjects, but my village continued to be targeted, and no one helped us . That's why . "

The village mayor sighed deeply and deeply . The immigrants did not like them . Many of the immigrants who have entered the empire have been displaced from their homes during the Southern Warring States era, or have suffered the implications of the Soukal Empire's policy of eliminating sub-humans . The empire is tolerant of the migrants . But that's because we want to bring in the best people, and we can't just crack down on humans . Subsidiaries with excellent skills can be active in various places, but those who do not have to endure in the margins . Eleven years ago they were treated as if they were not . However, the emperor's declaration changed the situation . The migrants were pleased, but that did not change anything . The emperor, at that time, recognized the immigrants who were in the empire as imperial subjects and exempted them from taxation for five years after their recognition . It was only a burden for the lords, but in fact no village of any migrants could afford to pay taxes . That is why in five years it will be able to blend into the territory, trade and reclaim, and have the capacity to pay taxes . Such instructions were given, but some lords ignored them intentionally . Because it does not benefit ourselves . Leo had shown a certain understanding . If so, I thought there was room for extra consideration . Even the lord has a point . However, this is not the case . This village is a special village . There are also many excellent people like Lynfia, and there are many excellent hunters . In addition to the territory, there should be many benefits for the lord . But the lord treated the village as if it were not . If you look it up you'll know right away . Otherwise, the existence of this village will be transmitted to the center of the empire . The lord had something he wanted to hide .
"So Lynfia came to us . It's the central responsibility that didn't even care about the frontiers . Please forgive me . " "No, no! There's no extinction! I didn't say that! "Please raise your head!" "How much apology will not heal my heart . . . I cannot promise to take you home, but I will do my best to search the villages that have been taken away . I will also reveal my sins, in which case the Emperor will make a fair judgment . "" Thank you . . . Thank you . . . ! "
The head of the village bows many times . That was the end of the discussion, and Leo went out with Abel .
"I said that, but I guess it would be painful?" "I guess . " "The people who look at the village are professional because of their behavior and equipment . They thought that bandits and gorotsuki would take away people . But I haven't seen anyone who was so serious . It's completely business . "" Yes . There's a big organization behind it . The lord who owns this village is not a big lord . Probably only the lord is used . "" There is a possibility that the nobles of the whole south are involved . If you do poorly, you will trigger a southern revolt? " T ran s lat e d by Jp m t l . ｃ o ｍ
Leo laughs . The issue of the southern frontiers is a perfect way to get the emperor's joy . But if the southern aristocrats are allowed to rebel, responsibility may turn to Leo . It was a dangerous mission . Investigate only the shallow part without entering deeply and round up . That was an effective strategy . However .
"But I heard and wanted to help . Can anyone who cannot help those who want to be emperor be an emperor?" "I don't know . But which one do you want to be emperor? Speaking of which, I would prefer an emperor to help the person who wants to help . "" Yes, so I came here through . I'm paying a high bounty . Sorry to get you to work? "" Hey, just as I say . . . "
He told the adventurer that he was a bad client . But they have already received the money . I cannot refuse a request once received as an adventurer . Abel had to shrug and answer Leo's words .
