10-27 Dinner and Personal Connections (2)

Satou's here In a game, you often already have the item needed for the quest you've just taken Since it takes time to travel in MMOs, I feel that it's better to collect the ite the quest

Just when the tea party was about the end, Marquis Ashinen as in good uess the one over there is Chevalier Pendragon-dono isn't it"

"I am honored to meet your countenance, your excellency Marquis"

I intentionally politely greeted the marquis who had hardened for an instant when he saw inated fro the entry into the trade city I was made to become the umpire for the duel between the old lower ranked noble who cut in and the Marquis The result was a complete victory of the Marquis' representative, but he didn't pull back his sword even after I had announced the winner, and the old noble was going to be killed if it kept up, so I stopped it The Marquis had intended to spill the blood of his fellow noble in the first place, and he seeainst me who had hindered it

The person as in such a trouble with hi the expensive [Golden Nude Woman Statue] as a present From his point of view, I probably look like a lower ranked noble who cahtly clearing his throat, he returned to the sreeting

"I'm sorry for my absence the other day even after you've expressively come I have certainly received your kindly prepared iteht have been better if it was a nude man statue instead of nude woman, but it would probably be turned into money anyway

"By the way Chevalier I have a plan to make a stadium for Rat Race outside the Labyrinth City, why don't you invest on it"

"That is quite interesting"

I've never heard of rat race, is it so like horse race? I' in one, but I' is spread in a place like this labyrinth city

Before I could give that advice to the Marquis, the Marchioness scolded him

"Keep theteas, and ary Chevalier Pendragon, let's talk about the invest his words His workshis official duty for half a month

After everyone had left the tea party, I was called by the Marchioness's attendant, and guided to a different salon than the one just now

The Marchioness and the wife of Baronet Dyukeli are there

"Hoshes, don't you have soon?"

"B-but"

The Marchioness pushed the hesitating Hoshes-san--the wife of Baronet Dyukeli Looks like she's a cousin of the Marchioness Hoshes-san was really hesitating to speak, but she began to talk little by little as the Marchioness as beside her pressed her back

She started and stopped talking, and when she was able to talk s around various regions right? Are you familiar with 『Water of Life』?

"The 『Water of Life』 that I know is a kind of liquor, but what kind of thing are you looking for?"

After widening her eyes froan to talk about the [Water of Life] with downcast eyes

"I-it is not a liquor It is a miraculous medicine which works for all disease"

"We have asked a scholar acquaintance about it, but we only get troubling story like how it's the water drop from a spirit tree that reaches the heaven, or water froeable Chevalier know anything about it?"

The Marchioness complemented on the story, maybe she was irritated by Hoshes-san I searched the e, but there was no applicable item However, I have some ideas about

the [Spirit Tree that Reaches the Heaven], or the [Philosopher's Stone]

I'll ask them to introduce me to their scholar acquaintance next time

I've found several recipes for medicines that works for all disease, but any one of them needs materials from the world tree and the philosopher's stone As expected the place of origin is too dangerous if I was to provide them with it

"I am sorry, but I have never heard suchso myself Maybe I could offer some advices if I just knohat kind of illness it is"

"Have you ever heard of Goblin Disease? It's anobles and wealthy e with the search bar in theto the talk There are some details about the Goblin Disease in the alchemy books I've acquired in the duchy capital Most are just like how the madam has talked about, it seeic potions are ineffective against However it doesn't seeh it's incurable It seems you can't leave the person afflicted alone since they become bedridden

However there's a certain docuive theetables It's written that it's just a fake groundless opinion, but if this disease comes from vitamin deficiency, it's possible that the afflicted person etables
