145 Dungeon
Move Is So Convenient

I entered the royal
capital to offer my New Year's greetings to the Royal Family. Just before I
arrived in the capital, the Royal Treatment and Job Change Clinic was
established. As the name suggests, it is a facility backed by the Royal Family.
Before that, the Public Treatment and Job Change Clinic was also established in
the ducal territory of Kerniff.
What they're doing is
the same as the Saintess Treatment and Job Change Clinic, but since they don't
have a saintess or a merciful mother, you might think they're not doing
anything to prevent delinquency, but they actually have a solution. First, they
gathered people with the Instructor job (and had them change jobs). After that,
they gathered people with the Nursery Teacher job, which is a lower-tier job of
the merciful mother (and had them change jobs). The public order improves as
these people walk around the town and protect the children. Of course, a large
city like the royal capital or Kerniff won't see an effect overnight, but it's
much better than doing nothing.
"Your wedding is
coming up soon, Viscount Footscythel."
"I am very
grateful that you care, Your Highness."
I was attending a tea
party with the Princess with my fiancée, Anneliese.
"Is the
preparation going smoothly?"
"Thanks to His
Grace the Duke, it's going without a hitch."
The person who came
from the Ducal family is enthusiastically taking charge of things. Thanks to
that, I can leave everything to them without any worries.
"The temple has
been complaining about the Treatment and Job Change Clinic."
"They've come to
us as well. Zaigen handled them easily."
The temple, which was
already in trouble because of its chief priest's misconduct and its
uncooperative attitude afterward, has apparently been complaining to the Royal
Family and the Ducal family. The temple, which had a monopoly on the important
systems of this world—job changes and treatments, which are related to people's
lives—has become too arrogant.
"Now is the
critical moment. I have great expectations for the two of you."
The Princess laughed
with a "Hehehe." The fact that her eyes weren't laughing was scary.
"The temple's
first likely move is to instigate foolish nobles to start a civil war. They
could also have the Liver and Cup Empires invade. Or they could have the Doran
Empire turn against us. Those are the possibilities."
It's already been a
given that they would try to instigate nobles who are dissatisfied with the
Royal Family, the Duke, and me. The Princess and the Duke are currently
identifying those nobles and taking countermeasures. What's more annoying is a
foreign invasion. The Oda Kingdom has the Liver Empire to the north, the Cup
Empire to the southwest, and the Doran Empire to the northwest. The Oda Kingdom
has been in a state of war with the Liver and Cup Empires for a long time. It's
very possible that the temple could back them and have them invade the Oda
Kingdom. We have a treaty with the Doran Empire, and our relationship is good,
so I don't think they would, but the malice of the temple is something that a
good person like me can't fathom.
"Please be
careful about assassinations."
This is something that
I, who has the Assassin job, shouldn't be saying, but if the two of them were
to be taken out now, it would be a problem.
"We are, of
course, being careful with our personal security and are also on alert for
poison."
Since her father, the
King, was poisoned, the Princess is apparently taking solid countermeasures.
"We also have no
problems there. We are also being careful about my personal security, my
family, and my retainers."
As expected of the
Duke. He is thorough in what he does.
"Oh, by the way,
the new head of the Tsukmandes Marquis family is a very sharp person."
The Tsukmandes
Marquis' mansion is still under a strict information lockdown. It's on such a
high alert that even Sodon, the hermit, can't sneak in. The Koga clan is
currently watching the area around the Tsukmandes mansion, checking the people
who come and go. The truth is, there's not much useful information right now.
That Marquis
Tsukmandes was replaced. The Princess said the new lord is a young man of only
25. I'd like to meet him and use my Detailed Appraisal on him.
A few days later, the
New Year's audience took place and ended without any problems. It was announced
there that the King would abdicate in the fall of this year, and the Princess
would ascend to the throne and become Queen at the beginning of next year. She
didn't say anything about it at the tea party, but the Duke seemed to know.
Well, they wouldn't consult a low-level noble like me about such an important
matter.
"Alright,
Gandarvan. Let's go and get your family!"
"There's no need
for you to go, my lord."
"What are you
talking about?! You're my right-hand man, Gandarvan. I have to go and get your family
myself!"
If I don't, I'll be
buried in paperwork!
We are heading to
Moritia, which is northwest of the royal capital. I, Gandarvan, and five
knights changed into our explorer gear and entered the royal capital dungeon.
The reason for this will become clear in a moment.
"Alright, let's
move to Moritia."
When Jonaminus, the
knight with the Explorer job, activated the Dungeon Move skill, a door
appeared. Yes, Moritia has a dungeon. And I've dispatched my subordinates with
the Explorer job to each dungeon in the Oda Kingdom and had them enter. Since
Dungeon Move allows you to travel between dungeons, this kind of travel is
possible. However, it consumes a lot of magic power, so it's a skill you can't
use when you're at a low level.
After moving to the
Moritia dungeon, we came out. We realized the greatness of Dungeon Move when we
saw a townscape that was different from the royal capital. Gandarvan's family
lives in a town at the foot of the northern mountains from Moritia.
"You didn't have
to run..."
We didn't bring horses
because we moved here using the dungeon. There are stagecoaches, but I'm not
riding them because my butt will hurt. So, we have no choice but to run!
Everyone in this group is over Level 50. They can all run faster than horses.
We ran into some
people who looked like bandits on the way, but we beat them up and tied them to
trees. I left a note saying they were bandits, so I'm sure normal people won't
go near them. I don't know, though.
We arrived at a place
where we could see our destination, the town of Tolg, but something looked off.
"Smoke is rising
from all over the place?"
Thinking this was a
bad sign, we increased our running speed. We sprinted at full speed and reached
Tolg in an instant. Some of us are a little behind, but I'm more worried about
the state of the town.
