Regressor of the Fallen Family - Chapter 193

Episode 193

“Knights! Do something! Make a way for the customers to move!”

At the mayor’s shout, the knights of Ruspelheim hurriedly moved to the front of the group.

and.

“Ugh! Don’t push!”

“Knights, stick to the side!”

“It’s soldiers over there! Damn it!”

Confusion began to increase at the gate, which was already crowded with people.

However, there was no one who resisted the knights and soldiers, and soon a straight road appeared in front of Logan and his group.

“What about that giant group?”

“Are you doing this because of them?”

“Damn it, would anyone who isn’t a noble live in shame?”

However, the mayor smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the open road, as if he could not hear the complaints, and lowered his head and extended his hand to Logan.

“Now, come in here and I’ll guide you.”

“…All right.”

Logan and his group, who suddenly received the attention of many people, followed the mayor with a slightly embarrassed expression.

“…Is this what you usually do when a national envoy is dispatched? The mayor himself comes out to the city gate?”

“That can’t be true. I came here about 10 years ago, but it wasn’t to this extent. That guy was the mayor back then too.”

In a perplexing situation, Logan whispered a question to Luther Kyle, but his doubts only deepened.

Moreover.

“Mayor, why are you like that?”

“I don’t know. Normally, you wouldn’t have moved a single step from the official residence, right?”

“I know yeah.”

Logan’s puzzlement could not help but increase as he heard the words of the Ruspelheim knights through his sensitive hearing.

“I have heard many stories about Count Logan McLane. The whole city was so abuzz with the story of the young hero of the Holy Kingdom of Grandia…” The

common language with an accent that is a bit foreign to the Grandians seems to be from the central part of the empire. It continued without it.

Dmitry Ryan, who introduced himself as the mayor of Ruspelheim, was a middle-aged man with a good-looking appearance and was more talkative than expected.

In addition, most of the words were meant to boost Logan, so it was inevitable that Logan would feel very burdened.

Apart from knowing the circumstances of the kingdom strangely well.

“Do you have any connection with the author? You’re almost carrying him around?”

The mayor’s attitude was so extreme that even Luther Kyle’s bewildered expression was understandable.

However, you can’t ask why someone treats you kindly.

Logan felt his face getting tickled by the excessive praise, but tried to keep his expression as calm as possible and followed the mayor.

The exotic scenery that unfolded as soon as we entered the castle gate was enough to capture the attention of Logan and the group.

The first thing I noticed were three-story buildings stretching endlessly to the left and right of a wide street that seemed to be 50 meters wide.

Buildings of the same standard and lined up at equal intervals gave a neat feeling rather than a stuffy appearance.

Numerous people were doing business inside the building and along the main street, displaying a variety of goods.

“You can think of most of the outer castle as a market. It is the basis for which Ruspelheim prides itself on being the largest trading city in the eastern part of the continent. Of course, it is not as expensive as Aserian. The empire is the largest country in the world, and there is nothing that is missing. If there is anything you need, “If there is, look for it. It’s all there except what isn’t really there.”

The mayor, who had only been praising Logan so far, looked around the street with a proud expression and spread his arms left and right.

Indeed, the sight seen was impressive enough to make one feel such pride.

“This is a rare animal from the western tip of the continent. Take a look!”

“Selling the horns and skin of the demon beast Calcutta!”

“This is a fruit that only grows deep in the southern mountains!”

Numerous objects that had never been seen before in Grandia caught the group’s attention.

“It wasn’t at this level even 10 years ago… The empire is developing quickly.”

Luther Kyle, who could be said to be the eldest, looked around with admiration, and the other party members were also busy looking around frantically, like countrymen who came to a big city for the first time.

“Of course, our territory has developed tremendously thanks to Confucius, but this place is on a different level. After all, the empire… Ugh! Why? Ah… Hey, aren’t you guys in line?! Did you come to play?!”

Henderson, who was constantly making exclamations, was hit in the side by Victor and forced to keep a straight face and adjust his ranks.

And the mayor, who was proudly looking at all of this, shifted his gaze to Logan.

In fact, no significant change was visible on Logan’s face.

‘But it’s definitely not better than 20 years from now. Of course.’

Unlike his group, which was busy looking at cultural relics everywhere, he could see the soldiers and knights stationed throughout the market.

‘The level of security forces is not that different from my previous life. But the fact that there is no difference between my current medical history and 20 years from now….’

I’m thinking about it alone like that.

The mayor, seeing Logan’s expression, said something that made his eyes light up.

“Oh, by the way, a merchant from Macline visited here not long ago. They were impressive people. They even created a branch of the merchant soon.”

“…Does the mayor even pay attention to the top?”

“Haha. Ruspelheim’s location is such that I am always listening to news from nearby Grandia. Moreover, if it is related to the McLane family, I can’t help but pay attention. As you will know when you hear the report later, I did my best to make it as convenient as possible.”

“I owe you something unintentionally. Thank you for your kindness, Mayor.”

“No. It is something that must be done for the sake of friendship between the two countries. Isn’t the McLane family the current power in Grandia?”

“Haha. That’s an undeserved evaluation.”

Although he was smiling the whole time, Logan’s eyes became more sunken.

Although it is said to be the closest big city to Grandia, it takes three days to reach by horseback.

The mayor of such a city keeps the news of Grandia in mind and keeps up with all the top news?

‘The interest rate must have been a market even during the Imperial War… Could it be that they were preparing for war around this time?’

I felt like I needed to look into it carefully.

As I composed myself and exchanged nonsense with the talkative mayor, I soon arrived in front of a large building.

“This is Ruspelheim’s official residence. It is also my office and home.”

Mayor Dmitry looked back at Logan with a proud expression in front of a huge seven-story building that could only be seen in a few magic tower-like buildings in Grandia.

“We’ll prepare a VIP room inside, so you can rest as much as you want.”

Since there was no reason to refuse, Logan nodded willingly.

“Thank you. I will not forget the mayor’s generous consideration.”

It was just a meaningless greeting, like the conversation we had while walking so far.

“Hahaha. If you say yes, I would really appreciate it.”

A strange answer followed.

Anyone can see that he took what he said out of politeness sincerely.

Logan had no choice but to ask back with an awkward expression.

“…Is there anything I can help you with?”

however.

“Oh no. I just hope that if you ever become a high-ranking member of the Empire, you won’t forget about me.”

The mayor’s words were strange.

“High-ranking officials of the Empire? I mean? What is that…?”

These words are expressed with the innermost feeling that they are absurd.

Nevertheless, the mayor nodded as if it was natural.

“Yes. You have received an invitation from His Majesty the Emperor.”

Why do I ask questions and come back with nonsense?

Was the mayor of the empire a position that even a lesser idiot could take on?

Logan’s bewildered gaze unknowingly turned to the giant standing next to him.

“What does this mean?”

“…I do not know.”

“There’s nothing wrong with my ears, right?”

“Yeah. I think that guy is crazy.”

Luther Kyle, with a distorted complexion, spoke without hesitation in a voice that even the mayor could hear.

However, the mayor was just smiling leisurely with an expression that had not changed at all, whether he really didn’t hear what he said or was pretending not to hear it.

So Logan had no choice but to ask again.

“Isn’t there some kind of misunderstanding? I am visiting as a national envoy?”

“Ah, I think Lord Logan is slightly mistaken.”

“yes?”

Not you? I?

Logan makes a blatantly absurd expression.

“The invitation that Lord Logan has is not an ordinary invitation. It is an invitation sent by His Majesty the Emperor to an individual named ‘Logan McLane’ rather than an envoy of the state. It is very different. It is different.”

“Does that have something to do with the nonsense I heard earlier… hmm?”

Only at those words did the mayor smile and nod.

“Yes. In fact, most of the few people who received nomination invitations from His Majesty are now by his side. As much as His Majesty loves talented people, he gave them positions appropriate for their talents and abilities.”

Now I understand what the mayor is saying.

But no matter what, I couldn’t shake the feeling that it was too much.

“Hahaha. Even so, the situation is different. Although it is not enough compared to the empire, I am already a person with a strong family.”

The mayor simply smiled and responded to that obvious statement.

“I’m just saying this just in case, so just take it to heart.”

At those words, the knights behind Logan had grim expressions.

It was thought that the mayor was drawing McLine and ignoring Grandia.

“How dare you disrespect our kingdom?!”

Luther Kyle openly shouted in a loud voice, but Logan stopped him.

“Luther, calm down. There’s no way I could do that.”

“No, no matter what, there is a duty that a Shinigami must have, but you’re saying such rude things…!”

“By the author’s standards, it’s not nonsense.”

“Huh…”

Logan blocked Luther Kyle’s path and looked at the mayor’s face again.

And seeing his unwavering expression, I was convinced.

‘Do you really think I have a chance of that? ‘Are you sane?’

It seemed as if the extreme imperial chauvinism of the empire’s nobles was clearly felt.

“…I understand. I will keep the mayor’s thoughts in mind.”

Even that arrogance.

Logan thought that and was about to turn around.

“I heard that His Majesty’s guest has arrived, mayor.”

A sharp voice suddenly sounded and caught everyone’s attention.

‘Who is he?!’

The owner of the voice was a middle-aged man with brown hair, black eyes, and a mustache.

However, it was no coincidence that everyone around him reacted to the voice uttered by the owner of that ordinary expression.

“The author is a superhuman.”

thud.

As Luther Kyle took a step forward and announced the danger of the stranger, the complexions of everyone in the group changed.

Except for Logan, who already figured that out.

“who are you?”

And the answer came right in front of me.

“Ah! It’s Lord Blake. Lord Logan, this is Count Blake Evendore. He is in charge of the 3rd Legion, the elite western army of the Empire.”

“Mayor, what you’re saying is exaggerating. It’s just one of the 8 western districts. But is this person…?”

“Yes. It is him.”

When the mayor answered, Blake politely held out his hand toward Logan.

“If you don’t mind, could I see your Majesty’s invitation with my own eyes?”

Logan sighed inwardly at this absurd situation. He held out the invitation in his arms.

After examining it carefully, the superhuman wiggled his eyebrows and politely returned the invitation with both hands.

Logan took the invitation again without any hesitation.

“I have confirmed the handwritten letter from His Majesty the Emperor. It is an honor to serve you. ”

“…Huh?”

“From now on, Blake of the Onslaught will safely escort Logan to the Ecliptic.”

An absurd sound was heard.
