87 – County of Eschik (1)
The carriage ran leisurely down the road.
Every time the car body shook on the road, Sirien’s arm reached out to me.
It must be difficult to read in a place like this. Sirien flipped through her documents one by one as if nothing had happened.
Dwarf. She later heard that a man named Harvey Tran left a report as a legacy.
It was a report summarizing the nobles who had recently become close to the Marquis of Eloran.
What is most noteworthy are the families whose spending rapidly increased after contact with the Marquis.
Objectively, a person with nothing particularly notable. At the same time, they were selecting those who were offered deals with very good terms.
Excluding miscellaneous details such as the reasoning process that he probably wrote himself, the Marquis of Eloran was supporting a nobleman.
Sirien took her report away from her eyes for a moment.
The head is gently tilted back. It seemed like he was going to take a short break, so I spoke up.
“Won’t you get dizzy if you read while shaking?”
“This is bearable. “I learned the trick when I was young.”
“Do you have any tricks for that?”
“Yes. Just don’t stare too hard. “I look back whenever I need to think.”
After saying that, Sirien leaned her head on my shoulder.
Her eyes are closed as if she is asleep. The tips of the long eyelids seemed to sparkle.
Sirien asked without opening her eyes.
“Razen. I have a question.”
“What is it?”
“Do you want to roll around with Lazendo girls?”
“Well, well…… ?”
A huge question was asked with a casual expression.
What on earth prompted me to ask such a question?
Did I do something to be misunderstood? No, that can’t be possible.
Most of my daily routine consisted of training with a sword or walking around with Sirien.
If you want to smoke in a chimney, you need at least firewood.
Sirien, who actually threw the bomb, had her eyes closed and a peaceful expression on her face.
In the end, I had no choice but to ask back.
“Why are you suddenly asking me that?”
“There were things like luxury expenses written on the paper. Things like expensive jewelry or precious alcohol. And I think women’s play is always a part of places like this.”
“Others may know, but I’m not really interested.”
Looking closely, Sirien’s bangs were slightly disheveled.
I patted her with my hand and straightened her hair.
“You are still next to me now. “The prettiest woman in the world is my lover, so other women must be a nuisance.”
“Really? Hmm. Ugh. If that’s the case, that’s fine. I’ll tell you in advance, I didn’t doubt it. It’s just that Rajen is also a man…… “I thought there might be some interest here and there.”
Fortunately, the intention seemed to have been conveyed well without any problems.
Sirien raised the corner of her mouth and hugged her arm.
“Okay. “I feel energized. I need to work hard again.”
Sirien opened her eyes again, feeling much better.
Stretching out her arms. Sirien held her body against me and she began to read her papers again.
I had already read it once, so I just checked where I was reading.
This was the place where Baron Iklan’s name was mentioned.
A small military family in the north.
It was written at length that he, a small nobleman, was rapidly increasing his luxury.
– Therefore, it is assumed that Baron Iklan is acting as the limb of the Marquis of Eloran.
– It has been confirmed that a lot of money is being exchanged between the two families, and Baron Iklan’s frequent trips to and from the capital have become more frequent.
– More detailed circumstances cannot be ascertained.
However, Habitt did not seem to have much confidence.
It was common for nobles to create their own factions, and there were not enough workers to track them down one by one.
It seemed like they thought there was still insufficient evidence.
In addition, the two families’ fiefdoms were located in quite close proximity.
Even if the Marquis of Eloran has lost much of his influence, he is still the undisputed leader of the North.
It was an excessive assumption to be suspicious just because one day the two became closer.
Sirien’s brow twitched.

“Razen. “Do you have a map?”
“Inside the backpack. “I’ll take it out now.”
“Thank you.”
A map spread out on your hand.
Sirien began to compare the names in the documents one by one.
Sirien reached the conclusion that Harbit could not.
“These are nobles on the supply route.”
“To the Northern Front?”
“It’s a little different. Even if we continue the territory of these nobles, we will not be able to reach the front lines. “Maybe this will be a supply route if the northern garrison collapses.”
The nobles he selected were those who would form the Marquis of Eloran’s new northern front.
I don’t know if the parties involved know that much.
Sirien pointed to one side of the map.
The first place my finger touched was the current Northern Front. From there, it continues south until the fingers stop.
“Is this what the Marquis of Eloran thinks is the front line? “I can only see the thoughts.”
The white index finger drew a line.
Below that, several of the territories mentioned in the report were located.
It looked like the Marquis of Eloran was using them as a shield to confront his demons.
The one at the forefront was Baron Ikran.
If the demons move south, the new northern front will be extremely dependent on the Marquis of Eloran.
If the Marquis of Eloran does not support them properly, not only the territory but also his life will be in danger.
“You have no intention of directly crossing swords with the demons, but you have chosen lords who will obey you unconditionally?”
“My driver is always quick to notice things like this. Is it because the story involves fighting?”
“I have always been quick.”
“…… It’s okay, I feel good now.”
For some reason, Sirien sighed.
Did I say something wrong? I don’t think so.
It’s probably just because of the Marquis of Eloran. Because it’s such a pathetic idea that it makes you sigh.
“Ha, I understand the intention, but the thinking is too shallow. Typically, he is an aristocrat who only knows politics. After all, I can’t use this person.”
There is a reason why electric wires last for a long time.
The army cannot advance infinitely and cannot defend anywhere.
This means that drawing a line anywhere will not maintain the wire.
In that respect, the place the Marquis had chosen was only half convincing.
At first glance, the Barony of Iklan appears to be a strategic location.
However, it was a tiring place to continue the war for a long time.
The terrain is relatively low and there are too many attack routes. It may be good to temporarily stop the enemy, but if the war continues, it will continue to eat away at you.
“The current Marquis of Eloran said that his abilities could not keep up with his greed, and that was an accurate assessment. “If you were going to join hands with a demon, you should have cleaned up after yourself.”
“Well, I’ve heard quite a few bad rumors.”
The previous Marquis of Eloran received quite a lot of respect.
When we were in danger, we thought Sirien would be the first person to ask for help.
However, when the marquis whom Sirien knew died and his successor took over her family, the situation became very bad.
Humans with a strong sense of inferiority. Because he caused accidents in all sorts of places, he was always compared to Jeondae.
In today’s social world, you’re actually close to being kicked out.
It seemed like he was hissing because he was afraid of the power of the great nobleman.
“Anyway, Baron Iklan might be worth investigating. “You and I stand out, so of course it’s out of the question. Would it be better to ask Russell for a favor?”
“They must be busy too. How about Isha instead? “She would still be holed up in her training room somewhere, brandishing her sword.”
“Are you serious? “She’s going to make that little kid do something dangerous?”
“You’re young. It’s because you don’t know. This is not the same Isha I was when we first met. “I assure you, she was absurdly talented to begin with.”
“That…… They say?”
Sirien tilted her head.
She was not unreasonable. Because Isha in Requitas was not that great of a swordsman.
With her weak heart, she still seems like a child to her.
However, recently, Isha has achieved crazy growth.
It was a good achievement, even if it was explosive, as if her name in the original work was not a lie.
It could be said that the water was blocked because there was no decisive moment so far.
Since everything was prepared, my skills improved like a torrent with just a little opportunity.
Isha hasn’t been crazy about the sword these days for no reason.
Even if it were me, if her skills had improved at that rate, she would have just swung her sword all day.
Even at this moment, when she was heading to Count Eschke’s house, she even dared to act as her guard on top of her carriage.
No matter how late, we will be able to see the ‘shadow moon’ within two years.
When I pushed with confidence, Sirien agreed.
“To acquire proper skills, you need practical experience. Isha wants it more than anyone else right now. She can be sure as the same prosecutor.”
“Yes. That’s right. Let me ask you something. “I guess I should tell Russell too.”
The divinity of Hybras swallowed the stack of documents.
This is the end of this boring meeting. Now all that’s left to do is rest before the destination.
Our destination was the County of Eschik.
