189 . Frontier City Liberty Combe Part 2



 I had heard a few disturbing stories about King's Landing in the morning, but it didn't take long for me to get out of the way.

 First thing in the morning, I gave a speech at the town hall.
 I had all the staff gathered in the main conference room and I gave the speech.
 I thanked them for their past and asked for their future cooperation, and after the greetings were over, I was handed a bouquet of flowers by the deputy lords of Erdena and Biblina, and there was a surprise of a toss-up from all the staff.
 I was very happy with everyone's feelings, but the words on the shirt with homemade lettering worn by Gianbarea, the head of the underground labyrinth, who was in charge of this body raising, were

Liberty Combe, the frontier city of death.

 And I couldn't help but notice that the "city" of the city was misspelled as "death"....

 By the way, when I met Gianbarea in the corridor after this, he was still wearing the same shirt, but the word "death" was painted out in black and the word "Shi" was rewritten next to it...
Gianbarea, that's not true either.
Oh, my God, really?
 He was in a big hurry to take off his shirt and try to write again, but since he didn't even have his underwear on underneath his shirt, he ended up with his top half naked in the corridor, needless to say, everyone around him was buzzing....

 Next, I went around to various parts of the city to greet the city folk.

 Liberty Combe is largely divided into

 A former abandoned village where we first settled.
 An inn village along the road
 Gehmose, a small frontier city
 Settlement at the foot of Mount Gorun

 All of these things are made up in one place.
 I visited them one by one.

 The area of the former abandoned village that I first visited is now a village with a hot spring inn at its center.
 The dwarves who have built a village deep in the mountains to do blacksmithing work are also treated as residents of this hot spring village.
 Here, the meeting was being run by a young elf couple who were in charge of the hot spring inn.
''This way, sir.''
 In the large banquet hall where I was shown in by the young elf proprietor, the people who worked in the hot spring village and everyone from the dwarven village had gathered there.
 I was about to greet everyone in front of them, which I did at the town hall.
'My lord, this is a happy day, isn't it? No hard talk, no hard talk, no hard talk.
 A word from the head of the dwarven settlement was the signal for everyone to start toasting at once.
 Everyone rushed in front of me in the blink of an eye, and
Come on, my lord, let me pour you a drink for all that you've done for me.
I'd love to.
Get me a drink.
 They said so and poured me a lot of drinks.
 If I was in a normal state, I would have lost consciousness after being forced to drink 10 people's drinks in one gulp, but thanks to Eldena, who had anticipated this, I somehow managed to avoid getting nauseated, but
Hey, hey, this lord has a lot of potential.
 As a result, we had to pour more into the dwarves.

 The next place we headed out, much later than planned, was the area of the shukuba village along the former Kaido.
 This was a prosperous post village when the road went straight south from the hot spring village, but after Liberty built the road to the east of the hot spring village, the number of visitors drifted to that area and decreased drastically, so the villagers have all moved into Liberty.
 A young buffalo man and his wife have built up a farming settlement in the area of the abandoned former lodging village, and there were vast fields of rice in this area.
 This farming settlement has grown to the point where it now produces almost all of the crops consumed in Liberty Combe.
 The young buffalo man showed us to a meeting place in the settlement, where almost all the people engaged in agricultural work had gathered.
 Here I was able to do the greetings we did at the town hall without delay.
My lord, take this.
 I was given a pile of freshly harvested vegetables.
 If it weren't for the magic bag, we'd be in for a hell of a ride, I thought to myself with a wry smile as I thanked everyone for their help.

 The next stop is the small frontier city of Gehemorse.
 Literally, this is where a small frontier city called Gehemorse used to be located.
 When the city was destroyed by a chimera worm from Batcombe in the past, the lord of the city at that time went missing, so management was transferred to Liberty, who defeated the chimera worm.
 This area has the largest facility in Liberty Combe, and the inauguration ceremony of Liberty Combe, scheduled to be held in a few days, is scheduled to be held here.
 As preparations for the event have already begun, I had the residents of this area gather at the ground attached to the venue.
 There, I gave a few words of greeting.
 The majority of the inhabitants in the hot spring and farming communities I had visited before coming here were sub-humans, but this Gehmose area has the highest percentage of racial groups in Liberty Convey.

 In the Gehemorse area, I was able to finish the greeting without any particular problem and moved on to the last settlement area at the foot of the old Gorn Mountain.

 I've been to all the villages I've visited so far, and they are all connected by stagecoaches operated by the wild boars.
 I took a temporary stagecoach to the village area at the foot of Mt.
 The journey, which in the past would have taken several days to complete, took only a few hours, and I moved to the village meeting place.
 Here, Yorme, who usually assists Erdena at the town hall, was helping me with the arrangements.
 When Yome led me to the meeting place, the old chief gave me a bouquet of flowers on behalf of him.
'I never thought this whole area would become a frontier city.
 With a word from the old chief, I was lifted up by the others and thrown up in the air.
 After that, I was surrounded by people and time passed as we talked and chatted.
 In the end, I wasn't able to say hello to anyone here, but the time I spent surrounded by everyone, smiling and talking with them was very meaningful.

 It was almost dark when I returned to the town hall in Liberty Combe after having visited all the areas I had planned to visit.
 The stagecoach arrived in front of the town hall and was greeted by Erdena.
 Biblina was absent as she and her secretary, Faran, were preparing for the ceremony at the meeting hall in the Gehemorse district.
''Thanks for ....
 Erdena greeted me with a smile as I got off the stagecoach.
'I managed to get it over with,'
 I said that to Eldena and thanked the boar for riding me around the city all day.
 I'm sure that the stagecoach has moved out of the town hall, and then I moved with Eldena to the lord's office.
 I had told everyone in the surrounding villages in advance that I would be away today as I would be traveling around the city, but it seems that quite a few of the surrounding villages had come to congratulate me, and there were numerous leftover letters on my desk and a mountain of congratulations lined up around my desk.
 
 Korok noticed me coming back and came into the lord's office in a frenzy.
'Welcome back, lord!'
 Korok smiled and hugged him.
By the way, my lord, that box smells really good.
 So he was drooling out of the corner of his mouth as he said that....

 I felt somewhat soothed by Korok's gesture.

 After this, the first day at Liberty Combe passed with the five of us, including Korok, Erdena, Unja and Aura, who brought us tea, eating the fruit that was among the celebratory gifts.
