I Was Reincarnated as a Poor Farmer in a Different World, so I Decided to Make Bricks to Build a Castle - Chapter 85

"Hey, Ars. I'm sure it's really okay. They won't be surrounded or killed as soon as they get there."

"What are you freaking out about, part-time brother?"

"Whoops. You're not freaking out. I wonder if it's true when they ask me about a sudden truce."

Sort of. Well, if anything happens, let's make sure you can escape immediately. "

We were on our way to Fontana.

Negotiations with the nobility lord through Bishop Paul have led to a clandestine ceasefire.

But it's just an informal conversation.

We need to do it officially this time.

After all, I'm not just a truce, I'm joining Fontana.

To this end, I entrusted my father with the castle I built in Kawakita, and came to the city with my part-time brother and Vargas in a small number.

If I go through the formalities here, I will be clear and innocent, and I will have a night to sleep with peace of mind.

I understand my part-time brother's concern, but I was a little relieved to think that I would finally be able to return to my life.

We came to a church in the city.

A church of a different size from the one in the village, Bishop Paul reads out the Ceasefire Treaty that he agreed to the other day.

So we went to the final stage.

Ars Barca, forward.

"Yes"

"Do you pledge to serve Carlos de Fontana and support her?

"Yes, I swear."

"Carlos de Fontana, forward. Do you take Ars Barca as a knight, and swear to join forces at times, and to fight shoulder-to-shoulder at times, and to protect your people?"

Oh, I swear.

Proof of oath, then.

As I crouched down on one knee in front of Carlos, Carlos pulled out the sword hanging from his hips.

That must be the Ice Sword.

I can't see it directly because my head is slightly lowered, but I think the sparkling body of the sword is the same as the sparkle of the Ice Sword I saw in the previous battle.

I'm so scared.

There is a person with a sword in front of him.

But that sword never hurt my body.

Carlos moves the sword in his hand so that it hits my shoulder.

"Alas Barca, I will make you a knight and give you a name. Now thy name is Ars von Barca. I look forward to working as Fontana's knight."

Here we go.

At the same time as this ceasefire agreement, it meant that I would be under Carlos.

The reason why Carlos ceased fighting with me in the middle of the fighting and tried to add it to his ranks.

That was because Bishop Paul benefited from a magical pass that raised his rank.

Instead of naming the nobles to give them magic, they have the advantage of receiving magic supplies from their subordinates.

In order to receive this magic pass, the noble lord at the top can be the most magical in the territory.

The fact that there is a lot of magic is also a threat.

Not only does it use magic more times, but it is also easy to strengthen physically, and it is also strong even if you simply hit.

In this world, it is safe to raise magic and beat physically.

Carlos' eyes were on me to pressure the remnants of Raymond's faction.

Since Raymond was in charge of all the territory, the magical pyramids in the Fontana family were built to concentrate on the Raymonds.

That's why Carlos made an unexpected choice to capture my magic during the conflict and increase his power.

And the fact that the magic pass led to Carlos meant that I also benefited.

Magic other than the earth system that I couldn't use no matter how hard I worked.

The magic of ice held by the Fontana family.

New magic was brought to me, and through me to the Balkans.

"Congratulations, Ars. This means that Ars is also the lord of the castle."

"Ah, maybe. There's actually a castle."

In the end, there was nothing in the city that would harm us, and the truce and the recital ended peacefully and safely.

I am returning to the castle in Kawakita.

I'm just climbing up one of the towers and talking to Gran.

"So, what do you think of the villages of Vulca and Linda, and the territory up to this castle?

"It's not bad. I think our terms were better than I thought."

Essentially, it seems that even if you take what you have gained in battlefield as a squire and then pull it up as a knight, it will not be possible to hold territory.

It seems that only some of the knights will be able to grant territory.

But as a result of this battle, I have two villages and one castle.

Initially, I was told that I would be entrusted with the rule of the Vulcan village, but it was the result of my inquiry.

The castle was a waste, but sometimes people like Vargas didn't want to let go.

Somehow, even though there was a pressing question, my claim would have been accepted.

"So, what will Ars do now?

"What are we gonna do?

"Speaking of two villages, ruling the land is one of the romance of men. There's something I'd like to try."

"Hmm, I have to do more than just try."

"Is there something I have to do?

Oh, let's make some money.

I don't give a shit about romance.

What I need to work on as soon as possible is not talking about romance.

My wallet situation was obscured when I paid Bishop Paul.

We must hurry to recover the economic situation that could cause the fiscal collapse now.

That's how I got into territory and started making money.
