After the Magic Armor has been disassembled, it was sent to Shirone Kingdom via the magic circle.
Afterwards Ginger contacted a craftsman she knew to encase the Magic Armor in stone blocks as camouflage, and had it sent to a warehouse near the capital.
I didn't go along.
But I did instruct her to also start investigating the situation inside Shirone Kingdom.
If the north invading turns out false, that gives me a good reason to dissuade Zanoba from going.
Even though, the northern Kingdom of Bista really looks poised for attack.
Bista has mobilized for war, with large number of mercenaries and hoodlums inside its borders.
"King Pax seems to have brought 10 able knights from the Kingdom of Dragon King with him, and used them to rid the country of rebels."
10 able knights.
Just 10?
Well, including Pax, the coup has eleven members, but the coup's success are no doubt the doing of these ten individuals.
In that case, they might be the trap set by Hitogami.
"Ginger-san, did you learn of the names of these 10 knights?"
"No, unfortunately I haven't got that far with my investigation... Only that it's rumored King Pax has a man with a skull-looking face by his side. Also the rumor that man is among the Seven Great World Powers, the Death God."
"I see."
Yikes, another one of the Seven Great World Powers...
Well, I hope that the Kingdom of Dragon King won't bother to lend Pax one of the Seven. Maybe that skull guy is someone else. Either way I should report this to Orsted.
"Oh, if the northern kingdom is ready to invade, then we have to hurry."
Hearing this, Zanoba looks anxious to immediately head out.
He is ready to go.
His tone is like usual, but I can sense his unease.
Nothing I can do to dissuade Zanoba now, so we will set out in a few days.
The party will be me, Zanoba, Ginger, and Roxy. Four members.
Julie is temporarily left with my family.
