　In recent years, the Orient has gained the power to repel all the attacks from the surrounding countries, has proved its power in actual battles, and has made a connection with the aristocrats of the great powers.

　In other words, the Orient is now considered to have a powerful backer.

　Up to now, my name had been spreading in the sub-national group to a certain extent, but I guess I was basically just an unusual newcomer.

　Most of the people must have known me as a foreigner who came from the other side of the deathly mountains called "Reimyo", who owned a mercenary company, and who used the power of Atmos' warriors to penetrate into the small nations.

　People from various countries and cities came to see him.

　In the end, I guess people evaluate me based on who evaluates me.

　To tell the truth, I thought it would be a hassle, but Ai said I should take it, so here I am meeting people every day.

　She was smiling and chatting with everyone who greeted her and me, and seemed to be having a good time.

　However, when I asked her later, she told me that she was not talking happily with them, but rather, she was trying to make conversation in such a way that I could feel it.

　It seems that this is a common culture among the nobles of Briaria.

　It is a boy, but I can see that he has high magical power.

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

　I don't know about the Atmos Warrior's point of view, but he obviously has more magical power than a child born among ordinary people.

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

　Ian has high magical power as a warrior of Atmos, and Hannah is the godmother of the highest rank in the church of Barca.

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

　It is apparently true that a man and a woman with high magical power can have a child with a high amount of magical power if they have a child together.
