750 748 Why Nighthardt? (1/2)

”Gilmouth! Oh no! It's not a boro rag!

Elsa screams when she sees Diaz held by Nighthardt, who stepped down beside Sibula.

As Elsa put it, Diaz, who was wounded all over her body, was so damaged that she couldn't help but be told she was a boro rag.

”Dear Nighthardt, I wonder if you did it?

”Yes. Regardless of the normal chasers, Lord Diaz and the others were too strong. If I had used my wife's hand, I would have lost. But I did first aid, so I'm not going to die.”

Are you sure Nighthardt pinned Diaz down to that state? Although there is no noticeable damage to Nighthardt himself......

In the first place, is Nighthardt working with Sibula? But if you were one of the Eliantes, you must have a grudge against the Reids Kingdom...

”You mean you were a man of the Reids kingdom, too?

”No, isn't it?

”Oh? So you were hired as a mercenary?

”I'm sure you're hired, but you're not as a mercenary. I've already quit my regiment.”

In response to Elsa's inquiry, Nighthardt shakes his neck to the side.

”Hmm. I don't see why you give them a hand, do you?

”There's a situation, and I want to go to the Reids Kingdom.”

The other adventurers and spectators stared in solitude. I guess Elsa, a celebrity, and I don't have the guts to just break into a Nighthardt conversation.

Besides, the current state is like taking Diaz hostage. A far-fetched imitation could put Diaz in a predicament.

Neither adventurers nor nobles seemed to want to take responsibility for it.

”It's also, I don't just want to go, I want to move around somewhat freely over there. Well, are the Shibulas like bills of lading?

”What are you going to do, go to the Reids Kingdom? It wouldn't even be for tourist purposes.”

”Do you have company? They are irreplaceable, family-like companions who slept together.”

To Elsa's inquiry, Nighthardt returned such an inquiry. Elsa answers Nighthardt's question, albeit somewhat puzzled. I guess Nighthardt's seriousness was conveyed.

”I'm here. Solo as an adventurer, but the Urmut adventurers all feel like family”

”I, too, used to have people like that. No, I'm still here, but I was there a lot more. But my mercenary regiment has lost a great deal in the battle against the Reids kingdom and has fallen apart.”

Pity mixes with Nighthardt's voice.

”At that time, as the palace of the retreating Kranzel Royal Army, the Red Sword Knights came after us - that is, fighting the Shibula lords, many of our compatriots scattered on the battlefield and fled to the Kranzel Kingdom with a crawling body that also left us. What you get is a little money and honor. What I lost is my family...”

”Then why are you giving Sibula a hand! It must be an enemy! Or do you resent the Kranzel kingdom that used you as lords?

That sounds most likely. What if the anger against the Kranzel kingdom that crushed them is prevailing over the Sibula that fought to defend the country?

I guess everyone thought so, but Nighthardt shook his head sideways again.

”I don't have any grudges. That's part of the deal, and someone had to serve as your lord. That would have been the best decision I could make then. If you're angry, it's on you who couldn't protect your people, and there's nothing in the Kranzel kingdom to think of.”

”Well, then, I don't know extra. Why do you want to go to the Reids Kingdom now? No way, for a fellow grave visitor?

”You have that, too. Because that battlefield is in the territory of the Reids kingdom. But that's not all. I thought I was dead then, but I knew I was still alive in the Reids kingdom.”

”They say some are protected, others fall into slavery. I want to rescue them. That's why we must definitely go to the Reids Kingdom.”

If it were Nighthardt, it would be possible to break into the Reids kingdom. But when it came to getting out of the country after searching for and rescuing his companions, it was nearly impossible to be single.

We definitely need a collaborator. It would also be that Nighthardt referred to Sibula as a bill of lading.
