Just as Erdena Aura Nirmana was frequently coming to invite him to dine with her in between the business of the city's internal affairs, word was received that a messenger had arrived from the frontier city of Greencombe, south of Liberty Village.

　The frontier city of Greencombe, located in the south of Liberty Village.
　Here, the relatives of Eldena the Elf are named in the lord's group.
　Because of this connection, it was the first land I set out for after I was disowned in the royal capital and had nowhere to go, but due to the harassment of my father, who was very influential in the royal house of nobility in the royal capital, I was denied entry to the city.

　I'm sure you're not going to be able to find out what I'm talking about.

　It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what to do with it.

　The messengers were the three bishops and sisters of the Church of the Greencombe.
　They said that they came as emissaries for a group of lords of the Greencombe.
　

　We talked a bit about the church.
　There are two major sects on this continent.
　One is the Bobblebum religion, which has racial supremacy as its holy book.
　One is Tersulianism, which preaches the protection of sub-humans.
　There are many sects on the continent, all of which are derived from one of these.

　The church in the village of Liberty is of Tersulianism, and is now administered by the Owl People (Owlpeople), Yome, as Sister.

　And the bishops who come today as messengers to the Green Combe are from the Boblebam religion, and this bishop is an influential person with a good standing in the royal capital.


　After exchanging greetings with the bishops, they chatted for a while.
"Hmmm? It's my use of....
　As I was about to say that, I was huffy.

　I've delivered a pandemic disease medicine to Greencombe, but I didn't tell him my name because I was afraid of what he might do if he found out about me to my former father in King's Landing.

　Contrary to my intentions　
'Oh ... so you were the saint after all!
　Saying that, the bishop and everyone else in the Green Convoy got up from their seats in unison, knelt down on the spot and began to worship to me........what?　What's going on?

　It's hard to understand what's going on, and I'm in a bit of a quandary, but at any rate, I'm facing a situation where I can't do anything about it right now, and I'm in a bit of a quandary.......

　after a short time
　The bishop and his party finally released me from my prayers and sat me back down, and I finally got comfortable.

　The bishop told me that the medicine in the vial, which was delivered to him at the time of the epidemic, cured him instantly of a disease that could not be cured by healing magic.
　The person who delivered the medicine left without telling us his or her name... This must be the saint who saved us.
A few days ago, a lost lamb brought a certain vial of medicine into the church. Apparently, the medicine made by the lord of this Liberty Village saved the lives of his relatives.......the medicine bottle that was brought in was the same bottle that contained the saint's medicine.
　To be sure, that medicine bottle is a distinctive object... when I was still in King's Landing, I had a glassworker I knew mass-produce one with a shape designed to efficiently store medicines, and stored it in a magic box, so it was certainly unlikely that anyone other than me would use this bottle.
　In hindsight, it was quite careless of me to use such a unique bottle, but...

　Anyway.
　As a result of this one incident becoming known to the people of the city from the church, and as a result of this story being passed on from the bishop to the group of lords, the bishop and others were sent to confirm that if the lord of Liberty Village is indeed a saint, he would like to establish a friendly relationship with Greencombe.

　I'm not going to be able to say that I'm the wrong person, I told them that I was the one who performed the medicine, but I did the right thing as a human being, so I didn't want them to be more grateful than they needed to be.
What a profound man you are!
　And then he was even more impressed, and I was bowed down again and knelt down....

　The day had already begun to fade when I managed to finish the whole talk successfully in the midst of the untenable situation where every time I said something, I was moved, shed tears, and worshipped.

　Finally, the bishop said
I'm sure the city will send a messenger to the village with regard to friendship between the city and the village, so we'll work out the details then.
　He smiled and said so with a smile and headed back to the Greencombe.

　Since we were here, I suggested that we should stay the night today.
No, no, I have to tell the city about your saint as soon as possible.
　With that statement, I became a man on a wagon.

　I was exhausted from the constant derailing of the meeting, but the substance of the conversation was very meaningful.
　The largest city in the region where Liberty Village is now located is Greencomb.
　If it becomes possible to trade with this city in a friendly manner, even greater profits can be expected than trading with small frontier cities such as Picks, and it is thought that there will be an increase in the number of people from the Green Convicts visiting the village.
　In the same way that the stagecoach service was opened up between Green Convoy, it may be possible to open up a regular stagecoach service between Green Convoy and Pickus, and there is no doubt that various possibilities have opened up.

'Oh?　You look so happy, don't you?
　While peering into my face from the side, Foldente chuckles at me as usual.
''Well, regardless of how it happened, this is how I was able to connect with Greencombe.
　When he finished listening to my words, Foldente let out a small breath
I don't know why... but I do know that I have a connection to Green Convoy.
　Foldente had just said that much when there was an unexpected knock on the door.
　The door was opened before I could answer, and
I beg your pardon, sir. Due to the urgency of the situation, I will not wait for an answer.
　A lillpop enters the room staggeringly.
　With his hands, he grabbed the person he had tied up and dragged him into the room by the scruff of his neck.
"These two men were attempting to infiltrate the dragon scale mining site, and when I attempted to question them about their duties, they countered with poisoned arrows, and I seized them, but they committed suicide with the poison they had concealed in their possession.

　Those words blew away the slightly buoyant mood I had been in earlier.

　It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for when you're in the market.

The dragon scale mining site is the most important resource in this village, it's a secret.
　I nodded silently at Foldente's words.


　The place where Salamander Sarah's decades worth of dragon scales are mined is so important to Liberty Village that they have used the holes they have dug and covered the surrounding area with rocks to prevent its full extent from being seen by the surroundings, limiting its access to the area.


　If the intruders were to arrive at the place at the same time as the arrival of the messenger from Greencombe, I think the timing would be too good to be true.
After all, Greencomb is a racist city. Don't you ever forget that?
　I nodded silently at Foldente's words.

********

　A few days after the messenger from Greencomb returned.

　It was finally decided to start school.

　At first, we had thought that we would start in the spring, but since we had more children who wanted to be students than we expected, we decided to start the school ahead of schedule on a trial basis.

　There were 41 students in total at the beginning.
　There were 37 sub-humans and four of their race.

　They would be the youngest class in the King's Capital, and would begin with learning to read, write and calculate.

　Nirmana, who comes to the lord's office whenever she has time and invites me to dinner, has proven herself to be extremely talented when she finally takes the podium.
　It's not easy to teach a class while listening carefully to each child and making sure that the entire class understands together and moves forward, rather than forcing them to move on.
　I'm not sure if I was able to give that much consideration to the whole class, though I myself stood on the podium when I was in King's Landing.
　
　Also, the former magic strongman of Batcombe, Magic-san's class was also quite good.
　She would nominate a student anyway and make them answer a question.
　Loudly in front of everyone, as a basic rule, and if they answered correctly, she would clap loudly for them, and if they made a mistake, she would communicate her disappointment with her body in a loud voice and gesture.
　The students never get bored of the lessons because they are taught with their whole bodies.

They are more solid than I thought.
　Saying that, Foldente, who was supposed to be teaching, could only chuckle.

　Thus, the school in Liberty Village got off to a better start than expected.
