“Yare,Yare….you came home so late that my bones are chilled!”
“I’m sorry. I’m late.”
After defeating the Catastrophe Org, Raidorl was sitting face to face with Zafis in the Adventurer’s Guild. On the table are tea and cakes for the two of them.
The two of them were the only one’s present. The other adventurers are working on recovering the corpse of Catastrophe Org and repairing the fences and traps on the outer walls of the town.
The Catastrophe Orc is a disaster class monster and can easily destroy a town or two if it appears in packs like this one.
Because of this, materials from them are extremely rare, and every part of their body is sold at a high price.
The skins are used to make armour, and the bones are melted down and mixed with iron to make a harder, sharper alloy. The offal is used to make medicines, and the meat, while not edible, is said to make cattle and sheep bigger and stronger when mixed in animal feed.
The carcasses of dozens of catastrophe orcs are now a treasure trove, and adventurers are happy to clean them up for a reward.
“It’s no use, you know. The idlers are being very persistent., this is why I hate gold-eating aristocrats who have filled their guts.”
He spat in disgust and poured the tea into his mouth.
In the early days of the Catastro Orc attack, Raidorl was away from the frontier city because he was visiting the Count of Aedras, the lord of the neighbouring town.
He was in the town of Aedras to discuss the ownership of a silver vein found on the border of their territories, but the greedy nobleman persisted in asserting his rights, and as a result he returned later than planned.
His haste to return to the town after hearing of the attack on the Catastrophe Orc caused him to miss the talks, and he ended up conceding too much on the mining concessions.
“That’s a tough one. But, well. It’s good to have you back.”
When Raidorl drank his tea in one gulp, Zafis took the teapot in his hand as a sign of appreciation. As he poured himself another cup, he changed the subject.
“The way you fought back there, that was impressive. I’m sure there’s no one in the Empire’s guild headquarters who can fight like that. You can’t beat that as a mage.”
“Heh, as a swordsman I’m not quite skilled… is that what you’re trying to sound like?”
“I’m still no match for you in a sword fight, though. I’m not just a guild master in the middle of nowhere. Don’t underestimate me, young man!”
Zafis laughed, and Raidorl shrugged his shoulders with a chuckle. Zafis is his sword master and his guardian in the frontier city.
In terms of position, Raidorl is superior to him, as he is royalty and a lord, but it is natural that he is the one who took the place of his parents, who picked him up after his brother and country abandoned him.
“But it was a pity about the vein. There’s more like this one, isn’t there?”
“Apparently so. Eidolus was adamant about it, though.”
The silver mine found on the border of the county of Aedras ended up being ceded 8:2. The damage would not have been small.
“No matter. If we hadn’t given up that much, they wouldn’t have let us go.”
Count Eidolus must have been more pleased than anyone else with the attack on Catastro Org.
Even though Raidorl is a royal family, considering the size of the territory, the influence in the south of the Kingdom of Zain is dominated by Eidolus. Even in emergencies, it is not acceptable to simply walk out of a discussion.
It was unavoidable that they would have to concede their concessions in order to break off the talks.
“I’m sorry. I wish we could have defended it on our own. ……”
“It’s fine, this is my territory. It’s my home. It’s only natural to rush to defend it at any cost…”
Raising his teacup to Zafis, who lowered his eyebrows apologetically, Raidorl responded. He takes a sip of his tea and smiles mischievously.
“Besides, …… I’m sure that they will be crying for you soon, eh?”
“Hmm? What do you mean?”
“That place is part of the frontier. It’s not a safe place.”
“Oh, ……, I see.”
Hearing Raidorl’s reply, Zafis felt a pang of sympathy. The image of the greedy Count crumbling under the unexpected blow flashed through his mind.
A newly discovered vein of silver. The area is also a dangerous one, with many demons appearing.
It’s not a big problem at the moment, as the adventurers of the pioneer city regularly thin out the demons but cutting through it and mining it will be more difficult than Eidolus expects.
“We’ll pull the adventurers out of that area for a while. That won’t be a problem.”
“That’ll do. Now let’s see how long …… they can last.”
Raidorl laughed and shook his shoulders.
As they had predicted, the Count of Aedras, who had begun to exploit the silver mines immediately, had lost many miners and guards to repeated demon attacks and suffered enormous losses.
It was not until a month later that Aedras asked for the elimination of the demons in return for a substantial transfer of the rights to the silver mine.
