"Sir, are you sure you want to do this?"

"About what, Mr. Lassen?"

I mean, where we're going and what we're going to do. I wonder if it's really safe to go steal magic stones in the territory controlled by the Brillia Magical Kingdom. Moreover, it is said that Barka-dono is also planning to marry a nobleman from the Brillia Magic Kingdom, but if it goes badly, won't it end in a breakup?

"I'm sure it will be fine. It would be impossible to go to the village of Atmos from the Orient, which is located in a group of small states, in the winter when it snows. It's okay as long as they don't find out. If they say something, just tell them you don't know anything about it.

　Lassen, who was forced to ride Valkyrie, talks to me on the way to the village of Atmos.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that he is getting anxious here.

　He kept asking me if it was really safe for us to go to the land owned by a big country to steal a magical stone called the Spirit Stone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Each time, I answered that it would be fine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, normally one would be concerned about that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is because it is not a common sense to do something that would make that great nation look at us.

　However, the village of Atmos is located at a considerable distance from the home country of the Briaria Magi.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is located near the foot of the sacred mountain, and it is also located in a valley, so it is not a place where food can be grown.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is rather a place where one wonders how the warriors of Atmos could live in such a place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess that's why.

　When Brother Ars went to the village of Atmos for the first time, Lady Charlotte, the third princess of Briaria, the wife of the current Brother Kyle, was in charge of the army.

　The distance from the home country inevitably delays the transmission of information.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, they must have had someone in mind who could supervise the field work.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As a result, I'm not sure how it would have worked out for the magician's side.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, but that makes me even more worried. Are you sure you can handle it?　If we go to such a place and are found trying to extract magic stones without permission, we are likely to be attacked without any questions asked. Besides, we're the only ones going there this time, aren't we?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My explanation, on the contrary, seemed to make Lassen more anxious.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is a man who has a strong command in the field and he is in charge of the army to protect the land.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He said he was still uneasy about going to such a place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Don't worry. But you can see it now.

"What, what is it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"There it is. That's one of the reasons why the people from Valliant listen to me so well. You won't find that anywhere else."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Oh, that. That's great. It really exists. A castle in the sky. Is that the Valliant Castle?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes. Welcome to Valiant, Mister Lassen."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Something that could instantly silence the perpetually anxious-looking Lassen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A flying castle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A Valkyrie on the ground crosses a mountain pass, and the view opens up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The landscape there is truly mysterious.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A world of white.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Next to it is a sacred mountain recognized as the Mountain of Death, with a deep ridge line running along it, slightly overlooking it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But the most conspicuous among them was the castle of Valliant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is not as high as the heavenly mountains, but it looks like an upside-down small mountain floating in a place that can never be reached from the ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Or perhaps it looks like a bowl turned upside down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　From this pass you can see a castle on such a floating land.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A wilderness with demons that appear along the way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lassen was at a loss for words when he was shown a man-made, yet clearly inhuman structure.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was so moved by the sight that he seemed to have forgotten how to breathe.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You seem surprised. You seem surprised... Let's go..." he said. There is a small town under the castle of Valliant. That's where we'll be sleeping today.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ah, ah, excuse me. Okay, let's go."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He patted Lassen on the back and urged him to go on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We're on the move again, and we're not headed for a castle in the sky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That is the land of the Sky Kingdom, which is currently closed off from the rest of the world.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Elvis and his family used to live on top of the castle, and they used to travel to and from the ground by airships and so on, but that is no longer the case.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, it is impossible to go up there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But, on the other hand, the city of Valeant on the ground does not belong to the Kingdom of the Sky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In a sense, this city is governed by its own government.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Though this place was once managed by Elvis and still has a strong influence from us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Is that so?　I was under the impression that the land of Valiant was the property of Lord Barka.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"This place is a little bit special. So we treat it as our own self-governing territory, not ours or the Sky Kingdom's."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Why is that?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Before, this is where the dealings with the Bryllian mage state used to take place. Until the Kingdom of the Sky closed its doors to foreign nations.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Eh, doesn't that mean that there is a possibility that people from Brillia might still enter this city?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's right. So, even though we are no longer connected to the sky kingdom, it is still a place where we can contact with the magic kingdom side. Let's rest in the variant today and make contact with them tomorrow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Once there were only small settlements in Valianto.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But now it has become a major force.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Originally, it was the first place in the East where magic began to spread, and its inhabitants were trained by Elvis with military-like rigor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, there is a group of people with power that is not possible in such an uncivilized land.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I mean, the Barka mercenaries started out because of their existence.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And the existence of such a powerful group is not unrelated to the military stationed in the village of Atmos.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Or rather, they seem to be their customers in a sense.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because, although it was hard to tell in the winter season, the number of rice fields in this variant had increased considerably and they were growing rice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In short, the garrison of the Brillia Magistracy in the Great Valley bought a large amount of rice from this variant as well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, I have contacts with the soldiers there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, as soon as I arrived in Valiant, I decided to make a meeting with the person with whom I was dealing in the rice trade.
