As usual, Leorde was  training with Gilbert, when one of the maids came running towards them. Normally, Gilbert would condemn her for being so flippant, but the maid's expression were  paled, and the two of them stopped their training, thinking that this was not a normal occurrence.

"What's going on?"

knight has come to visit you. It seems that he has urgent matters to attend to.

"Hmm ...... me?"

"I'm sorry, can I have your attention, please?

Leorde was also wondering why the knight had come all the way to visit Gilbert, but the maid told him so that only Gilbert could hear

"I see. ...... Master . That's it for today. I have to talk to the knight who came to see me."

"Ah, yes. I understand."

 

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. So, he went back to his room to study magic.

　Leoldo was curious about it, but Gilbert's not in  mood   to tell him, so he listened to what he was  saying .

　Leoldo was bored after his match with Gilbert ended early. So, he went back to his room to study magic.

On the other hand, Gilbert, who heard the story from the maid, went to the knight who was visiting. He and the maid arrived at the door and Gilbert led the knight into the house to hear more from him.

"Gilbert led the knight inside the mansion to get more information."

"Yes. We, the Knights, have dispatched a team to investigate, and there is no doubt about it."

"How many?"

"More than 20, "

"Twenty? ...... With all due respect, don't the Knights make their rounds at least once a month?"

"I'm embarrassed to say that some of them falsely claim to have made the rounds. ......"

"Well. If that's the case, I'll have to report it to , Lord Beluga."

"Is there any way we can do this peacefully, ......?

"No, sir. It's the result of the knights' negligence in this matter. It is not possible to overlook it."

"......

"that's why you came to me?

"No, sir. I have heard from my men that Gilbert is a man of great valor, and I have come to ask for your help in exterminating these wyverns.

"Hmm, ......, Barbaroth-, I see. But I'm the monk's steward, so I can't participate in this wyvern extermination."

"You can't do anything about that!　We are certain that many people will be injured alone. At the very least, we want to limit the damage!"

". We should send a messenger to King's Landing and ask for reinforcements. Then I'll leave you to it."

　If this had been the Leoldo of before the   he had taken over, he would have accepted it. He might have returned triumphantly to the royal capital with the achievement of defeating the wyverns.

　Unfortunately, as Gilbert said, the result was caused by the negligence of the knights, so even if they exterminated the wyverns, they would not receive any reward. Rather, they should be punished for endangering the people.

　However, the current Leoldo would usually refuse. He's so desperate to survive that he'll probably decide to leave the extermination of wyverns to the Knights.

　Gilbert decides that he has nothing more to say to the knight who came to visit him and leaves the table. He put a maid on the knight's shoulders and urged him to leave.

　When the knight didn't get a good answer, he tried to bite, but Gilbert's insistent pressure made him leave quietly.

　In the event that you're not sure what to do, you may want to check out the following tips.

　After the report was completed, Gilbert delivered it to Beluga, the lord. After sending out a messenger, Gilbert slowly made his way to Leold.

　Leoldo, who was secluded in his room, was working hard on his magic. In an effort to increase his accuracy as much as possible, he was activating and maintaining his magic with no chanting.

　He was concentrating so hard that sweat was pouring out of his forehead. The sweat that flowed down spilled onto the floor, creating a stain.

"Fu ...... Fu ......."

　Leoldo, who has a sphere of water floating in his palm, looks at it with serious eyes. The floating ball of water becomes distorted and pops if Leoldo disturbs his concentration in any way.

"Phew!　　Calm down ......!

　It's not that he lost his concentration, but the water ball floating in his palm became noisy. It had been in the shape of a beautiful ball, but now it was bobbing and changing shape, and it seemed like it would pop at any moment.

　Leoldo tried desperately to control and manipulate the water ball, but Leoldo's efforts were fruitless and the water ball popped .

"Damn ......, not again."

Leoldo takes a towel to wipe his wet hair. While he is wiping his hair with irritation, he hears a knock at the door.

"Hey, master . Is this a good time?"

"Yes. You may come in.}

　As Gilbert entered the room, he wondered why Leold was wet."

"Have you been bathing, ?"

"No.  it's magic training "

"Oh. I see."

"So, what's going on?

"As  he was saying, it seems a wyvern nest has been discovered near Ze'at."

"What the hell?　How many?"

"Twenty, according to the knight, but the exact number is unknown."

"Hmm. ......""

(That's not in the game. I am not going to die from this, right ?)

　(I'm starting to get scared. ......)

"Gil, join the Order..."

"No, . I've told the knights to call for reinforcements from King's Landing, so there's no room for  me ,  master 

"Hyah, hyah!"
