Since I was reincarnated as a poor farmer in another world, I decided to lay bricks and build a castle - 1219 Benjamin's search
“As a mercenary?” Me? ”
“Yes, I want to hire Al.”
“Does that mean there’s a war?” Brillia Magic As a throne battle in the country ”
Hire me as a mercenary.
That means there’s definitely a fight ahead of us.
It was not far away either.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have brought this story with me.
Do you mean that you came here on purpose in the winter, as soon as spring comes?
“No, it’s not like there’s a war.” At the very least, I didn’t want to do anything stupid like cracking down on Brillia. That’s why I want to finish this before the other heirs move. That’s why I need Al’s help. ”
“I am the Protector of the Orient and Secretary of Defense.” Even if I were hired as a mercenary, I would not be able to leave here much. I’m not going to be locked up as a reservist when there’s no battle. ”
“Oh, of course I do. Yeah, that’s why I need your help. It doesn’t make sense to just hire them to stay with me, but to fight.”
“I don’t quite understand what you’re trying to say. You want the strength to fight, but you’re not going to fight? I don’t think that’s possible.”
“It’s possible. I’m not dealing with people.”
Isn’t it a person? So, what are you going to fight?
“It will be decided.” It’s a monster. ”
A monster?
People fight monsters, not opponents.
I see.
Well, then, I know what it means.
I didn’t think fighting monsters was going to be a battle.
But is there a monster?
I wonder why I needed to fight.
I always thought you’d do more to be king than to do that.
No, it’s not.
Maybe fighting monsters is a condition for becoming a king.
Do you mean you can become a king by defeating monsters?
“Well, I guess that’s how it is.” But I don’t think it’s enough to be just a monster. It must be a powerful king who leads the enchanted country of Brillia and a monster who can show the surroundings. ”
“Hmm. I understand what you’re saying. I don’t know if the aristocrats in Brillian Magic really recognize the throne that way, but Ben thinks it’s possible. But why me?”
“Hmm? What do you mean, Al?”
“No, that’s what it means.” Why do you need to talk to me? Demonstrate power by defeating monsters. If that’s all, you don’t have to talk to me, do you? As the next king of the great powers, I think that if you use the prestige of the First Prince, you can attract as many people as you want to follow Ben in the country. Some of them are stronger than I am. Why do you need to go out of your way to help people in other countries? ”
“It’s decided, isn’t it?” Well, isn’t Al underestimating his power? It’s hard for me to find a replacement for you. That’s how much he appreciates Al. ”
For me?
The prince of the great powers?
Is it true?
Indeed, I think I have achieved various achievements so far.
We’ve been fighting in the Orient, and the mercenaries are getting bigger and bigger.
But isn’t it subtle that the prince of a great power will rate it highly?
Anyway, no matter how far we go, we’re talking about a small group of countries.
There was no comparison between the great power of Brillia and the small country.
“Fufu. That’s where it is, Al. You are unaware of your peculiarity. [M] Rather, it’s because they’re born special. What Al takes for granted is not natural to me. Does Miss Elizabeth know what that means? What did you think when you heard us?”
Huh? Was there anything unusual about me and Ben talking to you, Liz?
“… yes, there is, Al-kun.” Al, when you heard your Highness, you said, right? “Is it enough to defeat a monster to become a king?” But this is what I felt when I heard the story. To defeat a monster and become a king is to say, “It’s like Ogasaki.”
“That’s right.” As Lady Elizabeth put it, monsters are a far cry from reality for us, the people of the Burian Magic Nation. That’s what it’s like to be in a story, isn’t it? But you’re not. Because of the special origins of being born and raised in a country beyond that mausoleum, I recognize the existence of monsters as a matter of course. I don’t think they’ll find talent from any noble family in the Brillian Empire. ”
I see.
Speaking of which, is that so?
There were too many monsters around here, and it was like a presence in a story.
Well, not at all, but at least rarely in the human sphere.
In that sense, I may certainly be regarded as a weirdo.
“But that’s all, isn’t it?” Just because you normally accept the existence of a monster, there’s no inevitable reason to call out to me. ”
“Hmm. You’re not really aware of this, are you?” Well, is that really unconscious? I thought it was all I had left to claim it for myself. ”
What are you talking about?
“That’s why I’m talking about monsters, Al.” You’re exhibiting the remains of monsters in this city and in the new city of Barca, aren’t you? The remains of that peak monster. ”
“… oh. Is that it?” It’s about ice bears and the fur of four-handed ice monkeys. ”
“That’s right.” I was surprised to hear that some people are hunting down monster materials that live in places where it’s difficult for humans to get in. I didn’t think it was true the first time I heard it. But it wasn’t. The reality was that they climbed the winter mound and defeated monsters. That’s why I need your help. Let me ask you again. Al, I need your help. Let’s go to the peak with me and defeat the monsters. ”
Is that so?
Was Ben’s purpose at the summit?
Well, that might work.
Closed to the snow for ten thousand years, I went to the mausoleum where it seemed impossible for people to survive, defeated monsters like no one had seen before, and brought back their remains.
In that case, he may be recognized as a king.
What should I do?
I thought it was an interesting offer.
When I heard Ben’s story, I was intrigued.
