Chapter 299
Chapter 299 City of Ganiz
On the 3rd of April, when spring was in full swing, Jin was able to successfully meet up with Reinhart .
“Matheus, he’s Jin . Although he does have the title of Honorary Magi Craftsman of Egelia kingdom, he is free of restraints . ”
Reinhart introduced Jin to Matheus, who was his friend and escort .
“Jin, he’s Captain Matheus Gaist Fon Rialgar . He is a friend of mine and also the captain of 3rd squad of the Imperial Guards . He will become my brother-in-law soon, as well . ”
“Nice to meet you, I am Jin Nidou . ”
“Nice to meet you as well, I am Matheus . ”
They greeted each other and shook hands .
“I have heard a lot about you from Reinhart during our journey . You seem to be a wonderful magi engineer . ”
“Hahaha, that’s right! Jin is a magi engineer whom I can’t even hope to reach! That much I can guarantee you!”
For some reason, Reinhart answered with pride . Seeing that, Matheus raised his eyebrows for a second there but soon went back to normal .
“I look forward to seeing you in action . And so, is it fine to assume that you will be travelling together with us from now?”
Reinhart went and answered that question as well .
“Yes, of course . Jin is my guest, after all! …Jin, so is it okay if I get on your carriage right away?”
“Y-yes, sure . I have a lot to talk about as well . ”
“Right?! And so, let’s depart, Matheus!”
“… . . ”
Slightly astounded by the excited Reinhart, Matheus ordered his subordinates to depart again . And now, 15 people were guarding Reinhart while they were heading towards their country .
“Let’s go!”
The carriage Reinhart had been riding on departed without its master . The driver knew Jin so he didn’t mind either . After all, this happened often before too .
However, that was not true for Matheus . The person he was supposed to guard, his friend, his younger sister’s to be husband, just went off happily with a person of doubtful origins (although Reinhart did introduce himself as the Honorary Magi Craftsman of Egelia kingdom) he had just met .
And there’s also this girl called Reiko riding with them . Seems like she is an automata but that just makes her even more mysterious .
And not to mention that a iron made golem was driving the carriage, the type of which he had never seen before . It seemed to be inferior to Reinhart’s Schwarz Ritter in every single aspect .
However, the carriage was being pulled by a golem horse . He was honestly amazed by that .
(To be able to recreate such horse-like movements… I can’t measure his ability . )

“Is Elsa doing fine?”
“Yeah . She is teaching the kids at a village called Kaina at the moment . ”
“I see . That’s delightful . Well, as long as she’s happy . ”
Reinhart said and lowered his voice,
“…Jin, Elsa’s brother, Fritz, the reason why he turned weird… no, the reason why he returned to normal — you had a hand in it, right?”
There was a sound-proof barrier spread around Jin’s carriage so there was no need to worry about being wiretapped but he ended up whispering unconsciously .
“Ah . That ‘hypnotism’ and ‘seduce’ . Before, Rucall cancelled it by stimulating and stunning him but now I understand that the same thing can be done by a magic called ‘shock’ . ”
And then, Jin went on and explained how the Unifiers became Nostalgia and how they are now helping each of the countries .
While they were engrossed in their conversation, before they realized, they had reached today’s destination, the city of Ganiz .
“Looks like we are here . ”
Reinhart said while looking out the window .
“Time sure passed by quick, huh . We will stay here today and head to Toskoshia tomorrow, which is just before the border . We also have the visa needed to pass through, so they probably won’t make us wait . ”
“Ah, yes, I am looking forward to going to Shouro empire . ”
“I am happy you feel that way . Well then, let’s get down for now . ”
The carriage stopped at a simple checkpoint just before Ganiz .
Reinhart was the most highest ranked person among them so he had to show his face while passing through .
Matheus surveyed Reinhart as if to make sure everything was alright when he came down from the carriage .
And glared at Jin for a moment, who was still inside the carriage .
“?”
While Jin had noticed Matheus’ glance, he didn’t understand the reason behind it so he decided to pretend he didn’t notice for now .

The city of Ganiz was not a fortified city . It was surrounded by normal wood fences .
But it’s not like the city was only inside the fences, from the looks of it, it seemed like they were in the middle of expanding the city .
Although, there was no doubt that the part outside the fences were less developed .
The city was in the remote region of Serroa and the reason why it was flourishing lied in the mine halfway up the Karter mountain towards the south .
Mines of valuable mithril metal were found at 3 places, one of which lies along the road used for ore transportation from Bololon .
“Hmmm . Well, I understand how that would make Bololon prosper but why would it make this place prosper as well?”
Hearing Reinhart’s explanation, Jin asked the obvious question .
