Vol 11 Chapter 201 (1/2)

Galleria

Galleria… its official name was the 【Grand Duchy of Galleria】

It was a country where, a its varied feudal lords, the one that held the etting the surrounding lords together

The Grand Duke’s dukedom alone held reatest marvel of the country was of how the authority of a duke was recognized by surrounding lords

After departing fro into Galleria from there, I could tell the atmosphere was different

It was a country centralized around nobility, and one where the feudal lords held great power

Sitting on Porter’s roof portion, I guarded the specially prepared carts, and the large-scale Porter- quite a conspicuous group- as I watched over the convoy that had stopped to coe procedures

“… It really is a troublesome process”

The one to answer my murmur was the Third

『There’s no helping it But once they verify it’s a delivery for the Grand Duke’s house, they’ll let us through for chureed to barter entry for the Magic Stones and materials we obtained on the way, so it even reduces our load』

The Valkyries stationed to protect the group wore robes, and carried their varied specialized weapons to appeal

When monsters attack, they’d instantly respond, and annihilate the, they’d retrieve the stones and materials as well

『The feudal lords having poas the same in Bahnseim, but this land is the extremes of that As a country, it has a questionable size, so even a baronet house would see a baronet here sounds quite profitable Seems you’d have a considerable amount of influence to boot』

The Third sounded envious, but even so, from my point of view, there were nu their territories, so there were places where the roads were maintenance, and places where they weren’t

Every tie toll would be taken

Because ere using their roads, ould have to pay for it

… I could only see it as an overly inconvenient country

We passed through a number of territories, and even before we could enter the Grand Duke’s territory, the otiate with the nobles

“With the scale of your convoy, the fee would be around…”

“No, but we’re delivering goods to the Grand Duke, so…”

“The value of bartered goods fluctuates, so please pay in gold…”

What I heard was just how otiations to how cheap they could lower it Using the ained on the way, the merchants were able to pass for cheaper than anticipated

But thinking of the return trip ly painful If ere to use the same course back, they would take our profits

What’s more, you couldn’t move between Galleria and Rusworth

It see their goods for coh prices, but to the buyers, the Grand Duke house, it must be quite an annoyance

The Fourth quietly let out complaints

『Road old? What’s more, there were plenty of check points in dubious places Wherever there’s a lot of traffic, they use every chance to pluck money off of us If theythe roads, they’d earn several ti, there lords? Are they idiots?』

In regards to territorythe heads of history, and it seems he was quite displeased with Galleria’s system of rule

『Manage it properly!』

The Seventh was opposed to the Fourth’s opinion

『It’s irrelevant to us Well, I do feel it’s inefficient, but this isn’t our territory You’re paying undo mind to it』

At the very least, Bahnsei at the center It had a level of uniformity to it

“So even with the saeneral structure, they can be different”

Sitting on the sa Fro Bahnseim to Galleria

“Sure it’ll differ froe superpower But it’s true the feudal lords havelike Imperial nobles here Can barely believe it myself”

Galleria’s Grand Duke House didn’t have any Imperial nobles, it seems The duke had his retainers, but they weren’t treated as nobles, and they didn’t have a peerage It seems all of them were treated just as vassals

“So it’s a gathering of provincial nobles, huh”

Seeing that the group had started tothe large-scale Porter

The soldiers that saw Porter were staring at us, but I ignored theh

After entering the Grand Duke’s territory, since ere the ones who’d been called for, we didn’t have to pay toll, and the other various expenses

On the wat to his e he didn’t own a palace But the city around it was a fortress city nonetheless

The walls around it were sireater number of military installations

Entering the city, we proceeded straight for the mansion

There was no doubt the air of the city was different from Beim’s but the fact it reminded me of Bahnseim was perhaps due to the similarity of their structures

When the rare sight of Porter cah, a crowd formed, and the children looked up at the Gole

“No horses?”

“Maybe they’re inside?”

“Idiot, in that case, where’s the luggage going to go?”

Listening to the such voices from the residents, we made war for the mansion, when Eva restlessly popped up on Porter’s roof

“S-so ”

As her eyes sparkled, and she insisted her desire of having her songs heard, I pushed her back into Porter

“We don’t have the time, so we can’t It seems a war is close here, so hold yourself back”

Not letting herself fall inside, with her head still pressed, she addressed me

“You’re always like that! There isn’t a single ti you Just a little bit of tih”

Taken aback, I spoke

“Aren’t you the one who said dealing with the local elves and organizations would be a pain? Please endure it When we’re done with Rusworth, I’ll make some time in Lorphys”

In these two unstable countries, it wouldn’t be strange if war broke out at any moment In such a place, I didn’t want us to overstay our welcome

“Wah, I kneould be like this, but I’ve barely any chances”

Spilling her complaints, Eva returned to Porter’s insides

The e-scale Porter were lined up in front of the Grand Duke’s manor

The one responsible ca each piece with the merchants

They were mostly tools you wouldn’t use in war

As thatlike that?’ but I chose not to mind it

The vast mansion was definitely appropriate for a Grand Duke It was at the center of the country, so it wouldn’t be strange for hi in it, this as definitely easier

The responsible party that confiro issued orders to his subordinates to carry it away There, a single woman walked out of the mansion

That wo silver hair, let her silky locks sway as she came over to us

Her violet eyes, and white skin made me feel the beauty of soht uise as a man

Her atmosphere was stiff And she was of tall stature, suited to military exploits

When she walked over to me, she used her thumb to point out Porter

“My apologies, but ould the owner of this article be?I’d like to talk with them”

I took of s

“My nae of this convoy’s security I’m the owner”
