Swordsman Runes

Swordsman Runes
The Part 67



I walked towards the gate with mixed feelings. I was wrong to think that the real thing to look out for was the king not the crown prince.


Even though he seemed to know nothing, he actually knew all the behavior of his children, only he remained silent.


Marquess Marband will die not because of the crown prince but because of the will of the king himself


What was the purpose of weakening the nobles? Butwhy? Marquess Marband does have a fertile area and is known as the center of royal medicine. But that's all.


The territory does not have a strong power. It is often used as the target of the crown prince as it is today.


I don't understand the king at all. I saw a woman in a black dress walking with 2 kids, one girl one boy


I know that woman. She is the legal wife of Marquess Marband "Mrs Marchioness"


The woman looked


"Ah.. Mr Viscount Monrra, are you still here?"(Marchioness Marband)


"Yes, I went to see him for a moment. Is this young marquess?"


"Yes, these are my two children Julian and Margaret. Greet the children"(Marchioness) "Hail Mr. Monrra"(Julian) "Good day"(Margaret)


"Good afternoon. Ahhh, have you met Marquess Marband?" "Yes, I've been seeing my husband. Considering this was our last meeting"(Marchioness)


Closed execution is the death penalty for a hero or a high-ranking royal


Usually after being decided to get such a punishment. The perpetrator will be exiled somewhere and put to death without anyone knowing when and where the place is


"Sorry I can't help the Marquess get away from the death penalty" "It's okay. My husband is also grateful because thanks to the Viscount our family can still live as nobles"(Marchioness)


"The situation will get harder later. Both of your children will even be expelled from the academy. Moreover, the tax from the palace that is too much will make all the situation worse"


"Yes, I know that. It's just that it's better than losing the whole family. I can definitely find a way out later"(Marchioness)


"You don't have to worry like that. I will help if you need help, especially for your child's education. In our region, I built schools for the education of the population. It's just that for ordinary people not nobles"


"Thank you Viscount for the offer. Later if I need it I'll call you"(Marchioness)


"However, the Marquess is my comrade-in-arms. So I also feel guilty not being able to help her"


"The Viscount did was already much more helpful than his third noble prince. Please excuse me, come on Julian, Margaret"(Marchioness)


I silently watched the Marchioness and her two children leave. Although I managed to thwart the extermination of Marquess Marband. It seemed that it could not prevent the third prince's party from faltering.


Look at the Marchioness this time. There was no way he would be on the third prince's side.


Although now he will be busy, even though the situation is stable. He would not trust the prince anymore, seeing his actions in the courtroom earlier.


The Marchioness and her two children had already boarded the horse carriage and left. I should go too.


I boarded my carriage and went to Valerie's house in the capital after returning to Monrra.


3 Months had passed after the trial. Monrra's situation is getting messy, I underestimated the bad state of the climate here.


The lake formed with magic tools was already dry. The entire harvest was severely damaged, plus the actions of the crown prince who forbade other regions to trade with me made the situation here even more complicated


Besides, I have to clear Rodigur's border every month, it's all weighing on me.


Fortunately, thanks to the trade association I hid, the state of this region was not immediately destroyed.


But it all just delays the situation.


According to them, restoring Monrra's state is not a difficult thing, but I need magic crystals for that


The problem is that the price of magic crystals is expensive, the other one is about 10 Ero and I need quite a lot


Thinking about this really made the head ache half to death. Fortunately Lizra wanted to come here to see the situation.


Now here we are. In front of a dry lake, the plants that had grown here were no longer there


"It turns out it's much worse than I thought it was"(Lizra) "That's how it is. The crown prince also made things even more chaotic"


"Where here also becomes dry and hot. Even the temperature here rises higher than when I first came"(Valerie)


"That bad? Why didn't I realize?" "Maybe because I'm used to it"(Lizra)


"You're always outside than at the Mansion. It's only natural that you don't realize it"(Valerie)


"Is there no way to solve this?"


"Eitherway. This place is already too dry, not even a magic tool can fix this situation"(Lizra)


"It looks like we should give up on this place Josh. Better talk to the king to give one of the regions of Rodigur"(Valerie)


"You know that's not possible. Valerie go back to the mansion with Lizra first. I'd like to cool my head down for a second"


"It doesn't seem like a good thing to drink right now"(Lizra) "Teacher. Let Josh think for a second, let's have some tea at the Mansion"(Valerie)


"Tea? When things are like this? That's right"(Lizra) Lizra and Valerie went to the Mansion


"I serve iced tea it can.."(.Valerie) Valerie is getting further away and her voice is not heard anymore.


I went to the underground city again. I need to talk to the Dwarves over there. Finally I decided to stop by the Dwarsen house while carrying a bottle of acholol


The underground city is always hot, even the temperature here is higher than above thanks to the Eternal Furnace.


Unlike the surface that has been closed so that it is not hotter


"Josh how are you?"(Dwarsen) "You insulted me?"


I have arrived at the Dwarsen house and greeted Dwarsen directly "Akholol"(Dwarsen)


I gave Akholol that to the Dwarsen "Still thinking about the state of this land?"(Dwarsen) "That's how. It's hard to get magic crystals right now. If there is also a price"


"Be taught, magic crystals can only be obtained in magic mines. Most of the mines were in the eastern and southern regions"(Dwarsen)


I'm getting limp. It is impossible for me to obtain the magic crystal with the supervision of that crown prince


"Is there no other way?" "It"(Dwarsen)


Dwarsen gave me a glass of acholol. I immediately gulped it down


"What if there is?"(Dwarsen) "If I've done it from the beginning" My head started to get dizzy but I kept drinking the shackles


"there really is another way. But why think now is important to drink only"(Dwarsen)


"You're right. Foolish times with this barren territory, stupid times with the king, the crown prince of that damn nobleman. Better go, you're all keraka"


I drank with Dwarsen all day till night putting aside the matters of this land. Enough of this land has been weighing on me all this time
