He lent them a playle.
"Although it has become one, the border area is still not well maintained.
The carriage continued on its way, listening to Rhodes' explanation.

The streets of the town are becoming more and more lively.
"If we secure some land here while we still can, the price of land will probably go up in a decade or so, won't it?
"Maybe..."

"What? Land is bought with money?
Rubina was surprised, as if she had never heard of this before. Although she did not say it out loud, Shu seemed to be in the same boat.

Now that the threat of Malchitas had passed, Jin began to think seriously about reconsidering his plan.

In the meantime, the view from the carriage is once again of a bustling town.
"Ah, we are finally approaching the old city of Leuthart," Rhodoth explains.
Rhodes explains.

"So, Rhodes, how long have you known about this Reuthert?"
"Well, I guess ...... the last 100 years or so."
Jin's impression was that Rhodes was 125 years old, so it was natural that he did not know about it before that, but he had known Leuthart since he was younger than he thought.

"Now it's the old Reuthert!"
The moat that once surrounded the former Reuthert spread out before Jin and the others' eyes.

Yes, I understand.
The carriage went straight down the main street. More and more carriages passed by each other, and the bustle of the street increased.

There were some familiar buildings here and there, but there were also many newly built houses and buildings that had been remodeled or extended, and overall, the town looked new.
"I'm sorry, but could you go to the bridge at the east end of the town?"
I asked Praile, the golem,

Jin squinted at the house to the north from there.
