An A-Ranked Adventurer’s ‘Slow-living’ - 129 Epilogue 2

“Is it true that you received a letter from Aldred !?”

Barlock, who was called by King Abalone and arrived in the audience room, asked with astonishment to his voice.

“Um, Count Clark found Aldred and negotiated.”

Looking at the king nodding happily, Barrock glances at the blonde blue-eyed man in the audience room.

Then he smiled with an amiable smile whether the other party also noticed this.

He has a good face, but he is very sloppy.

…… How did he get Aldred’s whereabouts?

Barlock had no clue as Barrock had been sick in the search for Aldred, where even Kourne was gone.

The man in front of me found it easily. What kind of method did you grab?

Barlock, who has lived as an adventurer for many years, tells him that he is a guardian.

“Hello, my name is Clark-Raymond.”

“My name is Barlock-Essofia, master of the Adventurer’s Guild.”

It’s common sense to say hello to anyone who doesn’t like you, but who has claimed himself.

Barrock locks her personality away and greets the aristocracy.

Became a master of the adventurer’s guild, and various contributions have been recognized, and Barrock has become a lower grade but a baron.

At that time, a fiance and an educator were attached, and the works at the Royal Castle were thoroughly beaten in, so it was in good shape.

“I hope Barlock’s rumor. I’m glad to see you.”

“Everything worked with my colleagues, but I’m glad to say that as one of the adventurers.”

It should have been a bit colder than usual, but today I’ll round it up because of the main subject.

“So where was Aldred?”

“It’s like the village of Nordende, the westernmost point of the Silphid Kingdom”

“… Nordende”

The king says that Barrock rumored the word.

If it was a neighboring country, but it was a refreshing country, it was caught in Barlock’s mind for some reason.

It was a long time ago when Aldo returned after finishing his request. It was the name of a village where Aldred, who did not express much emotion, spoke unusually excitedly.

“Oh, the countryside where the flower fields are beautiful …”

“Yes, there is a flower field that blooms all year round, and the flowers and colors that bloom with the seasons seem to change.”

He muttered as he remembered, and Clark caught him with a smile.

At that time, Aldred said that the flower field in full bloom was very beautiful.

A village that dropped in on a request only once. I thought that I was impressed by the beautiful scenery, but it was no doubt that I would choose as a residence.

As Barrock, Aldred lost his dragon and lost his sight of his goal, and felt depressed, so he was looking for competing monsters in danger areas.

With that in mind, I asked a talented adventurer to search the danger area, but I was completely misplaced.

“And there is Kurune-san there too.”

“Kourne too !?”

Suddenly, if you thought you had quit a teacher at Magic Academy, did you chase Aldred?

The mystery of knowing Aldred’s destination is the same party, so it’s not necessary to think about it.

“Apart from Chalcune who followed, why was Aldred in such a place …?”

“I don’t know because I don’t write it in the letter so far, but he seems to be living strangely now as a villager.”

“Ah, is he a villager?”

A-rank adventurer who just defeats the dragon is just a villager?

After hearing the king’s words, Barrock almost asked him what he was joking about.

Barrock couldn’t even imagine that he was just a villager, with a variety of extraordinary strengths.

Why did you choose such a life?

I couldn’t understand Barlock, which I had been watching for many years.

“Can you show Aldred’s letter?”

When Barlock said so, the king handed the letter he had to his hand to the nearby knight and let him go under Barlock.

Barlock read the letters confusedly, and found what the king was saying.

And when I arrived at the latter half of the sentence, I could confirm the definitive characters.

“Return the sword !?”

“… Oh, Aldred seems to be completely cut off from the kingdom.”

The king’s voice was mixed with anger.

Returning the sword given by the king means stopping being a king’s sword and taking over the prestige of the country. The sword-giving king would be humiliating.

However, adventurers are not officially soldiers or aristocrats of the country, so there is no reason to be accused of leaving the kingdom.

However, it was also true that Aldred’s existence could not be measured in the framework of ordinary adventurers.

Now I understand what Aldred wants to do in the future, but it sounds like a radical response.

Aldred is a guy who doesn’t really get along with him, but his roots are very generous.

Perhaps something that caused the king to suddenly push his sword back was the first contact.

Barrock gazes at Clark who finds Aldred.

Clark may have noticed his gaze, but did not respond.

Barrock was originally an adventurer and lived comfortably, so I want to support Aldred’s new path.

But now he is also serving the kingdom. Well, I can’t say I’m going to be soft.

“Of course, it doesn’t make sense to keep Aldred just as a villager. I’m not going to let it go. Do you know what the eagle wants?”

For the king, Aldred is a sword that you definitely want to keep nearby. If so, what should Barlock do?

“Take Aldred back to the kingdom. I’ll get to the bargaining table.”

The king nodded happily with Barrock’s words.

“Well, but he says he wants to do negotiations in a nearby city, not in Nordende.”

“Perhaps something is going on. You should send the messenger in a discreet manner.”

It would be painful for the kingdom to go to a distant place, and that would be more convenient.

“So, who do you think is better? Would you go?”

Barrock shook his head after questioning the king for a while.

“… No, let’s send Elliott to the messenger.”

“Oh, yes! The original party was the same party. That alone would relieve the alertness and make me more resilient. Now I will always be the next head of the Elfiore family. I will not be violent.”

What the King is worried about is not like Kourne.

Elliott has already been adopted by the noble family of the kingdom and is also a knight. You cannot imitate a betrayal.

“Today was the day the Knights were practicing. Call Elliott here.”

The knights practice at the training hall near the Royal Castle. The distance from the castle is just beyond your eyes and nose.

When the commanding knight was ordered, the knight quickly left the audience room.

After a while, Elliott, dressed in kingdom armor, entered the audience room with the knight.

Elliott entered the audience room and sat down on his knees.

“Aldred found at Nordende”

Elliott heard the king’s words and shook himself.

“Oh Elliott, I’ll be your messenger to get Aldred back.

“If that is the king’s command”

Unlike the Aldreds, there is no way to turn down Elliott, a knight who swears loyalty to the kingdom.

Perhaps Elliott knows why Aldred got out.

Barrock was convinced of his chest, given Elliott’s feeling of carrying a stick to bring his former friends back.

“Get Aldred back anyway!”
