Tower of Karma

William was spending the daytime at Taylor for the first time in a long time. The reason why it has been a bother to the Taylor family even after Carl and the corps are separated is the strong hope of Karl himself and grabbed the sleeve by Rutgard at the end of each morning’s training every morning, and Lord Taylor She smiles and says, “I will never get lost.”

William has already made plans for tomorrow and has memorized the tastes of the people who meet there. I had an honest spare time.

“……”

William was reading a book. It is a custom that I have been neglecting for a while while sending myself busy everyday. There is also a collection of books I want to read, which I secretly mixed with the logistics of medicine, and I set today as the day to digest it.

As it is hard to read in cold rooms, William works in a large fireplace in the room. Rutgard sits in a chair that is a little far away and works for a little while.

In the living room of noon, such a relaxing time flows,

“Hmm? Did you get in the way?”

Suddenly, Einhart appeared. As Einhart, who did not come out of his room, showed his face, both William and Rutgard, a family member, also had a slight surprise as the woman who was the maid. Seeing them, Einhart screams small.

“I just came a bit warmer. This one had a bigger fireplace and no wind.”

That’s why Einhart passes next to William.

Suddenly, Einhart dropped her eyes on William’s reading.

“… Old Estad character? Can you read it?”

William looks at Einhart with a surprised face. I was interested in myself, and a surprise for Einhart who knew about this character.

“This book is Garnian’s history. It’s just a copy of a collection of various armor without being understood as a letter. That’s because the nation’s prosperity is fierce. It would be impossible for Garnian humans to read everything. “This is a book of Chaos. It is an old document. I can not read it.”

Einhart stared at the mountain of books intriguingly. Occasionally pick them up, turn them over and say “Hum” or “Wow”. Then I put a book and turned to William.

“Can I read it all?”

“No, there are places that can not be read completely.”

“Conversely speaking, you can roughly read it. It’s a lot of knowledge.”

William has no choice but to return to Einhart’s praise. We can not sense the source of this knowledge. Although it is a long time ago event, it may not always be remembered by anyone. Inwardly, I was biting that it was a mistake to read a book here.

“Can you write the letters of Arcadia?”

“Yes, I think I can write without problems.”

It can not be helped here to lie. I wrote some letters for Laurent, and I did homework using Karla’s letters in the first place.

“I mean you can translate. Hm … there are some books that are a little more difficult. Can I ask for a translation of it?

William thinks a little. The risk of making a book, of course, doesn’t seem to make the time and rewards of making it commensurate. The money that William makes at the company and the value that can not be converted to the money and money that people who are now energetically meeting can produce. I did not think that Einhart could not give out the amount of money that would be commensurate with them at present.

Seeing that silence, Einhart smiles.

“Don’t look at me with such a foolish eye. What, I am a merchant as well. I understand that I mean to restrain your time.

“No, such stupid eyes”

“Don’t go so far and deny it, and you’ll get in the wrong direction. And your thoughts are not wrong. There’s no money for me now, it’s impossible to get paid with money. How about saying something other than money? ”

William’s face changes. Einhart did not miss that moment. You can see the goodness of William’s speculation and the reason why his father, Laurent, is using it. Pay with something that is not money. I was interested in this for the first time. Einhart understands that it has grown to that point. Therefore I cut it. Your own card-

“I know somehow that I’m doing a merchant. I will introduce the person who I thought to be interesting in it for the price of the translation. I will use it for money or waste it up to you. It’s up to you to find something.

The eldest son of the Taylor family. But now it is not treated as a trace. The person has no intention at all. How would you rate such a person? I do not usually look after. It is because the personal connections possessed by such people are well known. But-

“I want to accept …”

William received the offer. I was not convinced of something. Still, it is true that I became interested in Einhart who would like to do such a deal. We introduce people who produce it, not money. William did not know anyone who could do such a prophecy.

“Good. First of all, please translate this book.”

Einhart took the hand of William’s possession, a book by Chaos. The contents are already written about the history and culture left by the Qeos people, who had almost been destroyed, and the various lost techniques that exist in it. It is not easy to get. It was destroyed by the hand of “Eraode” Candelario, the madness king of Estard’s history, who is completely uninterested in such things. There were few documents left and the scarcity value was high.

“Deadline?”

“Nothing special. I can translate it even in my free time. I will pay a reward when it is finished.”

Einhart goes back to his room after saying that. After all, I did not have time to warm up, I just requested a translation from William. It is not clear to William why he just came out of his room, just wanted to warm up, fancy or something he intended.

I do not know that this deal is worthwhile in the first place. Translation is not an easy task. Especially this book was acquired to enjoy the difficult translation work itself. How much time does it take to finish things that people can read? It kills valuable time without knowing whether it can create the value corresponding to it. I think that is horrible. at the same time–

“I think that is the correct answer”

William turns to the voice.

“Einhard brother was said to be evil in the company. I think I was not compatible with the policies of my father or company. But it was the Einhard brother who made the most money. “Every father is better than anyone else.”

The ruthgard’s words, the faint premonition, turns into a confusing conviction. Even the present William is a little lower than a mid-sized company within the Taylor family business. It is an ugly thing that has only grown in this short period, but it is an endless road if you look at it. The person to introduce the man who reached there once. William has suddenly become interested.

William got up with the book. I am free today. So today we have to do it right now. Because time is limited.

“After that, I think that the room is cold, so please put it on here.”

Rutgarde gave me a freshly woven woolen fabric. “Thank you,” said William, leaving the room with an acknowledgment. There was still a partner in this house to break down. Moreover, the other party may be excellent.

That is why it is sufficient to take it away. William could not stop the overflowing smile.

○

William gave up some time to cancel some appointments. William Einhart finished his translation at an alarming rate. The work of selfishness, the first “power” and knowledge that was first obtained when William was al. The book that is the easiest to buy is the book. It is the easiest to play with a book if you gain knowledge. That’s why Al hit the door of Norman’s store.

The power at that time was alive here.

“Oh, it’s not a place like that.”

Einhart put on his coat in his usual style. Things look good, but they are sober. Against William is a noble look. It is not strange if the position looks reverse if it is just cool.

“Because I am not aware of where I am today”

“… Mm. Yeah. Is there a little misunderstanding?”

Einhart scrapes his head.

“First of all, it’s about today, but it’s a place where one of the auspicious three sons, has been isolated. It’s not a noble nor a merchant. It’s just a hobby.”

William spread his eyes wide behind the mask. Although I did not think that I was deceived, it is true that the expected value fell. Einhart senses the air and sighs.

“I don’t know what you were imagining, but in the first place, there’s a man with money, who can make money for anyone who sees it, can you do something? Is “power” of you in you? ”

William had no words to put. Einhart continues.

“The medicines you are dealing with were niche in this Alkas. In other words, the people in the back had led and the front side wasn’t a good area to touch. That’s why you were able to win. I just conquered. There is no power on the front side to exploit the vested interests. ”

There is no sound of whisper, William. The reason why they did not spread even though they tried to actually spread their hands was here. After all, William’s firm is weak. Even under Taylor’s umbrella. William himself is still immature as a merchant. Knowledge has never been accumulated in any way. And if you have no experience, you won’t get a job.

“Even if you succeed in attacking the territory of the other party, your territory will be invaded this time. It is more difficult to protect the business than it is possible to attack. Even if you are holding the key you will be erased. ”

William had a bad sweat on his back. Because Einhart knows. The relationship between William and the Kingdom of the Night. You will not know the details, but it is still good to see that you know to some extent. The fact that Einhart, who is supposed to be entangled, knows that it puts William on his back.

“There is no power to squeeze in vested interests now, and there is no time for that?

Yes, William is a military officer after all. Just how much William did his best, it is necessary to go to the battlefield if spring comes. Spring-Summer-Autumn and the time in Arcass are short.

“That’s why you conquer the gap. If you say more, create value. Well, for now, just shut up and follow me. If you don’t like it, there is no need to make a translation. I can do it for no good, I can do it.

That said, Einhart took a glance at William. Continue walking as it is. It’s a big street, but only part of it is snowing. Einhardt walks forward without worrying about anything like that. For the moment, William switched his thinking to follow Einhart.

Is it worth today’s day? Will it lead to the creation of value? Einhart’s and William’s relationship is the day when it was decided.

○

There was a room where the smell of iron was stained. Iron and smoke, and heat.

(What is this?)

In front of William there was a row of mysterious weapons. It was so unique that it was bent, broken, snarled, and so on, so I could not say it was a weapon. And most of that-

(Two, you can use it)

It was garbage without practicality.

The Lord of this room and Einhart were talking. The situation continues that Einhart continues to hear NicoNico that the landlord talks down one-sidedly, rather than having a close relationship.

(What the intention is. It is too bad. It is the intention of the creative weapon, but it is only a suspicious alternative that it can be put to practical use before the practicality. Even if it is said that such things are shown to create value, etc. )

Worthless. In William’s head this one thing was ending up.

“Let’s introduce Mr. Escult. He is William Liwius.”

The story of Einhart was shaken, and the eyes of a man called William and Escult were mixed. As it is, the escort comes by the side of William and looks as if to give up from a close position. The body, from the top of the foot to the back of the head, the height was not so high, so I could not see it in the top of the head. I thought that I grabbed William’s head and observed it firmly to the top of the head.

(What is this guy !?)

A man who does not say anything but behaves too rudely. This time I started smelling.

“William Liwius, white mask, white knight, yes. Smell of iron, smell of blood, and a hint of evil fragrant. The body is tight and the whole body is ideal. The foundation is poor. It is something that can be raised up to here, though.

He shook his nose and shook William’s neck straight.

“Don’t stop!”

William took an unbearable distance. Seeing that, Einhart smiled. The escort in question pretends to be sober and treats William in the mouth.

“This is the first such person”

A captivating escort. Just blow away everything on the messed-up desk, spread a sheet of parchment and write something.

“What are you going to do?”

The question of William who has an anger that can not be concealed. The person you canceled today is not that strong, but it is not a good opponent. I chose this until I declined the meeting with it. That would not be too much to meet such an opponent.

“As you can see, it’s a stranger. There is no desire to live in a house with a few sons of wealthy merchants. It’s a productivity-free recluse who loves everything in his own space like this. The thing is worthless as well as the person, and it is the world’s vision

The same as William’s idea. I do not think that this is a usable human resource.

“It’s worthless, that is, it’s zero. No one has it. No one has it. If you could add value to this … it’s yours,”

For a moment, I was scared of William’s spine. William intended to watch the escult and Einhart. I thought that I was in a position to see to the end. But that is only one way. Einhart also watched William.

(Can you find value in this? What exactly is there?)

It was not until William came here that he had his head fully operational. A pile of junk that was overwhelmed in a sense. If you can’t use it before looking closely, you will see things that you have discarded.

(After all, only rubbish. What is this tube in the first place? How is it used?)

What William picked up was a tube about a meter. If you look at the place where it is reinforced with iron, William does not know whether it is a blunt device or another use.

“Well, I’m lucky. I thought it was interesting too.”

William’s brain is covered with question marks. A whistling cylinder like a blunt device. It’s a little inconvenient to swing, hollow inside and lack of strength. It is not too light.

“The eastern people who have crossed the desert and I are friends. I taught Escult the powder they had for their blemish blowouts, and I was born and this is what the gun and I call. ”

Firearm. The usage does not come with a pin even if it asks for a name.

“Simply speaking, this powder explodes in response to fire. It takes advantage of its nature to cause an explosion in a cylinder, which then measures the size of the cobbles in it.”

William suddenly thinks. There was a catch.

“The fault is that the powder is not enough. The explosive power is not enough to make it as strong as a bow. Even if the fire power rises, the stone can not withstand it this time. Well, it’s a defect.”

Einhart laughs. William does not laugh. Stare at the tube and distort the face.

“Conversely speaking, if you increase the power of powder and the durability of cobblestone, it will become useless.”

A smile was floating on William’s face. I finally understood. The meaning of having you introduce this place is.

“The advantage is that we don’t use human power. The limit of the bow is the limit of the person, no matter how good the bow is produced, it does not exceed the person as long as it is a bow. And it is an explosion completely different from animal tendons etc. How to create power. It’s really unique. ”

William will connect. Your own thinking, and your own ‘power’.

“In order to increase the power of powder, the chemicals I handle and the alchemists who are business partners with them. Use them to increase the power of powder. I’m dissatisfied with the durability of the tube, so I can use a metalworking pro under Taylor’s umbrella. ”

I do not know if it works well. But with success you can monopolize one weapon. Hazardous medicines, valuable medicines are in the realm of William. Taylor’s umbrella will also be William’s territory in a sense. If it comes to gold, Lord Taylor will definitely cooperate.

“I see. It’s interesting here.”

If you take a closer look, every garbage has the intention of the producer. It goes without saying that almost all of them are junk, but there are some junks that can be put to practical use.

“This has a tank that holds something. It smells of oil. It is a flame-emitting machine. Certainly, it was the forerunner of the kingdom of Sambald, a weapon that burns the sea used by the Male Pale Republic of the Mao Sea. This is also a mere oil and a niche, and the mechanism of the weapon of Palepolis has a mystery now.

Some medicines burn longer than normal oil. There are also drugs that scatter lethal poisons by burning more than anything else. There are issues to be cleared in various ways, but this was also an interesting idea.

“Does this stoner need manpower? What is this weapon? Crossbow? A large version of it? It’s a siege weapon when it comes here.”

William sees the weapons of no practicality that were only visible to the last minute. Certainly at present, it does not go beyond the realm of useless toys. After all, making an amateur, the crossbow does not shoot arrows properly, and the stone rig is too small to play pebbles. But the idea is interesting. Only ideas are not ordinary.

“The cost-effectiveness is honest and subtle. But if you can use gold like water? If you have the power to focus only on the effects?

Even the “power” William has now had a way to give some junk value. If you get new “power” in the future, you may be able to find value in other things.

The reason why Einhart introduced you here. Nothing is difficult. Zero is sleeping here. A pile of worthless junk that no one knows and no one sees. That’s why if you create value-

“White knight, a weapon inspired by you”

The escort appeared dumbly in front of William. A parchment painted something is held in the hand. William receives that.

“You are all-purpose. You can do anything. Kill people in all sorts of ways. Beyond primordial killing intent, a fusion of reason and instinct. Completed type of current people. Kill with it. Kill old people. Kill the times, kill everything and kill them, I imagined such a beautiful you. ”

William smiled at the drawing.

“I still do not have the power to express all of you. You also do not have the power to express all of you. Let’s work together. For the destruction of everything.”

The escort is gone. A crazy man went crazy alone in a crazy room. We made a lot of escults, but all of them were junk. There is nothing that has become one. But he had the most important feelings for making weapons. It is a destructive impulse. Passion for killing. A mass of murderous intent to destroy the world.

The art that has exploded it is the essence of Escort. At first glance it’s a pile of junk, but it was because of that passion that all were known to be weapons.

“Willing”

William took the hand of the escort. At that moment, Escult brought a smile that was so pure that he had never even seen Einhart, who had been so long.

Einhart feels chilly given the meaning of that smile.

The genius of stealing from people and the genius of the idea of ​​killing people. Two meet.

○

It was in the evening when the sun had already begun to fall out of the room of the escort. William understood the nature of the escult and, based on that, had active discussions with the escult. Though they are arguments, they are not rational, but they only collide with each other in the abstract way of killing people.

“Are you satisfied?”

Einhart watched the discussion from the middle. William smiles and smiles. There was not such a time that was worthless but useful. William thinks so.

“There is nothing wrong with it. It will be far from what Eccult will bear fruit.”

As a merchant, Einhart abandoned giving up Escult. That is because he had no connection in the military, was weak in weapons, and above all could not understand Escult. William had all of that. That’s why Einhart introduced him first.

“No, I immediately bought one idea.”

Einhart is eye-opening for his quick movements. I don’t know which idea William put his eyes on, but buying the idea instead of the weapons produced is a bad choice. Escult’s weapon is an idea. Because only that is necessary.

“Escult says that it doesn’t need money, but if it comes to a big business, people may change. Even if the escult does not change, the eyes around it change. There is no one who wants to use it No, that is why the contract should be strictly prepared with certainty, this is your fatherly teaching. ”

It’s perfect. Such small personal projects tend to be haunted. Even if it gets a little embarrassing, it may become a kind of fire later if you put a tie. The essence of the business is protected. It is stupid bone clan to make a defect from the beginning.

“It’s fine. I will not have to say anything about that now.”

Einhardt rolls his back like cold. Arcas that are white with breath and scenery. The setting of the sunset gave an accent to the white scenery. White world, also the day of Yuru Gin in there. The view of Arcus is beautiful. Unbelievable that there are very weak people suffering from cold and frightening there-

“Einhart. What should I translate next?”

William’s question. Einhart laughs.

“I’ll tell you earlier, but I can only introduce gaps, or only those who are considered worthless at the present stage. Most of them will not be things, and in the end I could not do business either. Only the case, I do not know if it will fit

stop. Gin intensifies the color.

“I have been doing business with a narrow view to this day. To add value to the Einhardt’s stated zero. It is not a business to take away only from others. I understand it as a feeling today. That the weak are the only way to win

Einhart sighed. William Livius is definitely

“If I can create value,”

It grew overwhelmingly in one day today. Not only as a merchant. It is human growth that the field of view is expanded. Among him the world was expanded. It will find application in all areas. Just one day, just one meeting accelerates people.

“You understand well. People’s connections create value. It’s the right answer to meet people vigorously. It’s rare for you to do it in your same generation, especially if it’s a military officer. Even without today’s day, you’ve finally arrived, and you’ve been doing that. ”

“Now it is worthwhile to notice. Even a day, I miss you”

“I am so diligently diligent. I am scared of you.”

“Have a joke. I’m scared of you by the bottom of my heart”

Einhart was at least looking ahead of William. A partner who doesn’t get involved so much. It should have been difficult even to grasp his turn. Still, I grasped the current situation, and I met with the person I needed to pinpoint like today.

“If you think so, pay more attention to your father. That’s stronger than me.”

“Is that so? I think you better on me.”

A person who has not been paying much attention or caution before now. Carl’s brother but not his successor. I only knew that level. That’s why I think William is terrifying. Under the same roof, the existence of a hidden monster that had concealed so much nails.

“You don’t know the true appearance of that man. I won’t win that man in the end. Even if I win as a merchant, the place I was standing is on the castle I built. It’s just the knee of Laurent von Taylor, one of the best jewelers in the world.

Einhart’s face was distorted. William is a little surprised at it. The fortress was colored with obvious murderous intent and hatred. It was not a good look towards the immediate family.

「まあ、その姿をお前が見ることはない。あいつはすでに喰らい切った。服飾関係でテイラーに反旗を翻すことは出来ない。そういう状況を作ったからな。攻めることすら出来ぬ鉄壁の牙城。それが奴の作り上げたテイラーという城だ」

ウィリアムはそう言われても理解できないでいた。確かにローランは、はじめて見た時から厄介な存在だと認識していたが、今となってはそれほどの相手とは思えない。少なくとも、今日を見る限りアインハルトの方が上だと感じた。アインハルトの方が深くものを見ている。それがウィリアムの認識である。

「今にわかる。テイラーが服飾以上に手を伸ばさなかった理由。テイラーという城の強固さがな。商売の基本は守り。攻めない強さもある」

そう言ってアインハルトはひとり歩き始める。その背がついてくるなと言っていた。

ウィリアムは一人佇んでいた。ずっと考えていたこと。もしかすれば解決するかもしれない。だからこそ、しばらくアインハルトと行動を共にすべき。

「さて、予定を組み替える必要があるな」

最優先事項は固まった。この冬一番の目的が設定されたのだ。

日が落ちる。紅蓮と白が闇に覆われる。その中でウィリアムはひとり哂っていた。
