The Demon King's Reincarnation Starts a New Life From Zero

V1 Chapter 23 Other Steps

“Alva .... huh.”.

If they were to conduct a full investigation, there was a limit to the information that could be gathered with the rumour gathering method they had been using up until now.

Like where and when did they start showing up?

How far has the research on them progressed?

Is there some kind of law for them?

And then, one more thing.

Why do Humans know about the existence of the Black Continent?

Shion thought that if he was going to do some research, then he wanted to research everything. However, books written like that were not sold in the city bookstore.

──Library.

If someone was researching something, that word would probably be the first thing to think about. However, the libraries that members of the general public could enter did not exist on the Shutaia Continent.

The reason was simple, and one of them was to protect the bookstore. Another reason is, because it is not necessary.

The items that could be bought in the bookstore were simple books like the legend of the Hero, and were basically oriented towards nobles.

Because paper is expensive, books, which are bundles of paper, are even more expensive. And since endless binding was preferred, the price increased even further. Merely, it was not like one could not live their life without it.

If one wanted to hear the legend of the Hero, the singers in bars and restaurants would sing it regardless of the time of day.

Even if one cannot read or write, there are many possible jobs, and if one wants to learn how to read and write, they will need a private school or private tutor.

In other words, books were a luxury item, and facilities that would go out of their way to collect and organize such things for the sake of the general public did not exist.

This is even more so when it comes to the technical books Varvatos wants to read, and it only exists in places that are oriented towards people who are anxious about the future of the country and who can be stored and managed safely.

For example, the royal palace archives.

For example, the archives of the knight order.

Take the Temple archive for example.

For example, the Adventurous school archives.

Naturally, there was no way they would just show it to him just because he was visiting.

Books are assets. Therefore, unless there is trust, it makes sense to turn to the front door.

Unfortunately, Shion has no connections anywhere. And if he had no connections, he had no choice but to make her believe.

And to make them believe it, he needed a reference from someone the other party trusted.

And to get that reference── connection needed. It was really an unproductive circle, but nothing helped that this was the reality.

In that case, what should he do.

First, the royal palace was impossible. He had no acquaintance with the noble family.

Next is the order of the knights. Many knights were people with a lot of pride, and Shion, who was only an Adventurer, had no acquaintance among them.

Next is the temple. Because their tendency of "Monsters to be destroyed" was so strong, he did not want to approach them too much.

He didn't have much to worry about it but .. if there was someone who could see his real identity disguised, it would be even more troublesome.

Finally, Adventurer school. In fact, Shion thought that this place might be the place with the highest possible negotiation going well.

The fact that he had no acquaintances in it was the same as other places, but the school of Edius Adventurer was basically a school to train Adventurers.

Basically .... what it means is that it does training for things other than being an Adventurer, but in general, it is a place with little sense of rejection for a job called Adventurer.

But, Shion and Zweita are famous people in a good way.

If they can “trust that”, or maybe there is a chance that they will at least listen to them.

Thinking that, Shion walked towards the school of Adventurer Edius along with Zweita.

“School ...... Boxing fight ..... The school building will collapse ....”.

“Yah ...... That will probably happen if we put one in our place.”

The establishment of an educational institution was a good sign of civilization, but whether or not it would fit in with the Black Continent was another matter.

To begin with, an educational institution represented with a school was formed under the pressure of necessity, and the school of Edius Adventurer was founded because it was a necessity.

The Adventurer School of Edius is a school in the capital city of the Kingdom of St. Altlis, Edius.

Although it was considered an Adventurer school, in fact, it was the place to nurture the Humans who would fight for the sake of the St. Empire. Altlists.

Ordinary graduate careers, many of them would be Adventurers or mercenaries, and in the case of nobles, it was the order of royal knights. And if it was too difficult, they would also become Adventurers.

And because of their abilities, there were also those affiliated with the Magic Association as Magicians.

Receiving the support of the country as a whole, the well-established school of Edius Adventurer made "sending an outstanding character capable of being the successor of Hero Ryuuya his educational goals.

“...... Can we not destroy it?”

“You can't. Also, don't talk bad about Heroes here. “

"I know that."

Yes, for that reason inside the beautiful steel main gate, there was a statue of Hero Ryuuya standing gallantly in the square.

Hero Ryuuya.

Heroes are summoned from another world who once defeated Demon King Gramfia.

Shion, he guessed that they were most likely from the same place.

That being said, as it would be said that he came from a glittering god country and if the singer sang about him, he could not have confidence whether it was true or not.

When Shion stood in front of the main gate while thinking about such things, perhaps because he was judged as a suspicious person, a man who seemed to be a staff member approached him.

“...... Excuse me, aren't you an Adventurer Shion?”

“Of course I'm Shion, but I don't know if I'm the Shion you think I am. “

When he made such banter, the staff member made a slightly displeased expression, and sent his gaze towards Zweita who was at Shion's side.

“...... I see, that's true. In that case, are you an SSS Ranked Adventurer, Shion? “

It would be fine to make a mockery here once again, but thinking that there would be no special meaning to it, Shion nodded her head.

When he did, the staff member showed a face that looked relieved.

“Ahh, this must also be the guidance of Philia-sama ...... Shion, I want to make an urgent commission to you.”

“Commission?”

When the staff member shook his head vertically, he said this.

“I want you to make a small speech at the school admission ceremony.”

Why did he say such a shitty thing?

Thinking that, the reason why Shion slightly bent his face was, it could probably be said to be something that could not be avoided.
