A few days after I learned recovery magic. After that, I managed to master some new magic spells like "telescopic sight" and "eavesdropping", and I worked to develop new magic spells using "surprise".
At this point, my combat strength should be quite high. The only attribute I can use is non-attribute (for some reason, I have no talent for other attribute magic, which I should be able to use). I can't expand what I don't have, no matter how much I would say “continuity is power. I was able to use a number of non-attribute magic, the North Bushinryu Shogun, [surprise], and recovery magic, and my overall fighting ability was already close to A+ rank. I'm sure I can say that at least A must exist.
There were not many A rank mages or adventurers in the empire, and A rank mages could be a mainstay in the local adventurer guild, or even frontline mages in one of the three elite divisions of the imperial army. If you're an A-rank person, you don't have to worry about livelihoods for the rest of your life.
But you never know what will happen in the world. For example, I still think I can't beat my father. My father, General Karl Heinz of the North, used to be a S-rank warrior, “demon of war. Even now that she was married and I was born, her fame was known throughout the empire
It seems that even though he is such a man, he is actually not the strongest in the empire. I only heard rumors about it, he said, but I heard that there was a hermit in the Imperial Kingdom who lived for hundreds of years. He seemed to be living in seclusion somewhere deep in the mountains or in the forest, but if there was a crisis in the empire, he was promised to fight at the request of the emperor.
He looked like a guardian god, but since he was a hermit, it could be assumed that he was a demigod. It's impossible for a human being to live for hundreds of years, and since he's got feet above all of us, I don't think he's too far off the mark.
As of now, the only people known to be stronger than me were the imperial army or my parents, and they were all basically good, so the chances of me being hurt by them were low. But of course there are bad guys stronger than me that I don't know about, and there's no guarantee that I won't meet them. Then I must become stronger as quickly as possible to be able to fight an enemy that I have not seen. I am the future heir of the Northern General. I can't just sit around playing around.

"The kidnapper from last time, it looks like the culprit has already been caught."
"Oh! It's a relief."
said the father, who had finished his lunch and was having tea after dinner while enjoying his exotic stir-fried beef.
“Patrolmen can respond to Eberhard's request quickly. It is not always easy for an organization to move on without a decision from its superiors.
It seems that bringing the feared girl to the police led to the disclosure of her identity at the time, and instructing them to take immediate action has been successful.
“Tightening patrols and screening of city entrances and exits may seem like a normal course of action, but it is expensive and cannot be easily implemented with decisions made by patrol headquarters alone. We have to get approval from the council and the lord to increase the budget for those measures. In this way, I may be a child, but I am the next ruler, even if I am a child, and will be responsible for what is done according to my orders. That's why I can work through the steps quickly without waiting for approval.
“The arrested criminal is a lowly adventurer, who works in a criminal organization. The man himself was nothing more than a disposable pawn, but the person he worked for was one of the heads of the organization. This is the reason why the Heitburg branch of the organization was eventually destroyed."
"That's right. Then I did a good thing."
“But the head of the organization seems to have escaped. I sent an urgent letter to the surrounding rulers, but I don't know if they got it in time."
Criminal organizations are so annoying. As long as the top executive is alive, low-level thugs can be augmented with the poor and desperate, and instead obey laws and customs, they ignored them committing more crimes so no matter how many times they were beaten, they would always come back out of nowhere.
Since it is much easier to steal money than to make it, people without a sense of ethics will commit crimes without hesitation. So, from the point of view of the rulers who cracked down on them, they had no choice but to pressure the criminal organizations to shut them down and make it relatively easier for the people who earn income the right way. Some people have no choice but to be criminals, and this is a difficult world to live in, but that is politics. Sometimes it is necessary to make a cruel choice to stop some people's crimes.
The world is still in the process of development. Not as rich as developed countries in the world. It needs to change the structure of society as a whole without wasting limited resources.
"I hope Lily makes it home safely."
He left Heidburg a few days ago and should have arrived at his parents' home in Bernstadt by now.
The distance to Bernstadt will still take a few days, he said. But with the duke's extraordinary bodyguard, he won't be delayed as much as the crime syndicate.I'm sure the criminal organization doesn't want to make enemies of the dukes.
The ducal family, the strong ones, might destroy them sooner or later, but as long as they did not touch the ducal family, they would not be actively destroyed. It may seem like a futile attempt to prolong life, but if one can get out of the criminal business and get a legitimate job while prolonging his life, he is in a good position.
"Don't worry "
I also gave him a pendant for a communication device, and I was sure he would contact me when he arrived at Bernstadt safely. I thought there was nothing to worry about, and went back to my room.
