Volume 11, Chapter 7: The Kjell Family

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The Kjell Family, along with the Marshall Family, controls half of the magical power of the Witt Empire so the struggle between them has never ended.

The Kjell Family is the weakest of the four great Houses, but still strong compared to foreign houses. I’m naturally comparing them to the Marshall Family, as they are already a Dukedom set in the heart of the Empire. I really feel that if internal conflicts started then I wouldn’t be able to solve it with words alone.

Hart. He’s actually adopted into the Kjell Family. I saw it in the information the Prince gave me. He’s a descendent of orthodox water swordsmen, but because their bloodline was getting weaker, the Kjell Family adopted him to get the abilities of a magic swordsman.

It really is such a cliché story that it makes me tense up. Why do I feel like I saw the same storyline every few games back when I played?

However, that just makes me think back to when the King of Mitchell arrested Irlin which really doesn’t give me good feeling about the Kjell Family.

But since Hart is a water magic swordsman I was able to use some of my ice magic skills to somewhat guide him. Up until now he was only able to summon a water whip, but now was able to summon water armor and shield. That is why his father wanted to see me.

I followed Hart to the school’s airstrip. After waiting a while a dark blue airship flew in from the distance and landed

I’ve never seen this model, is it Lanya’s latest design? It should be Lanya’s right? I can see that it has electromagnetic cannons and magical projectiles.

“Come in Teacher.”

Following Hart onto the airship, there was a small shake. When I looked outside I saw the scenery rapidly fall away.

I didn’t expect that the stability of the airships to improve so quickly in this time. Lanya seems to have earned a lot of money. At this rate I think that this world’s science and technology tree is going to raise two or three levels. I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing for this world though.

The airship was also extremely fast. In less than ten minutes the airship had started to descend. Looking down from the window I saw that it was the town I had visited before……

What was it called? Forget it, I don’t remember. I also don’t remember what happened to the mercenary group I had met back then.

But that’s not the point of this trip. The important thing is Hart’s father.

Right, do people in this world have bad interviewing habits? It’s not like there aren’t communication devices, just send me a message. Why do you have to take us all the way out here. For you I brought along my little expert, Aliyah. It might be possible for me to borrow a few things from here.

We landed in a huge courtyard. It seems that while the Kjell Family aren’t a Dukedom, they are suffocating.

The courtyard looked like it was the size of several football fields this place was being used to grow all sorts of plants and flowers. Oh my god, if you have so much money then it’d be better o give me some. Spending so much on flowers is a waste.

“Master’s second son, dear guests, this way please. The master is waiting for you in the dining room.”

I was a little surprised to hear them say that. It’s only been a little over an hour since Hart invited me but that they had already started to wait for shows that they had already confirmed I would come, and……

Does this guy really have this much free time? Wasn’t there a magic doll making business in this guy’s family? But he can still be this idle. It seems it really is a profitable industry.

We walked along the courtyard’s path to the central building. To be honest, we had spent so much time in the Imperial capitol that these decorations looked almost greasy. Aside from the items lined with gold there were all sorts of paintings. I felt like if this continued then I would be able to estimate the price of these.

Don’t ask me why I know, you’d understand if you spent a lot of time selling items on the black market.

Ding. New Skill Awakened

Phad’s Eye —— Inspection

When looking at similar antiques or decorations there is a 70% chance of seeing their price attribute

I could feel a cold sweat coming down again. Oh my god, did you go home World-chan?

At this point, when I see decorations next to each other I’ll have a chance to trigger an appraisal and after a while I’ll be able to look directly at their prices.

“Ah, Teacher, are you interested in that painting?”

While I was looking at the properties of a painting, Hart suddenly asked.

“That’s not……

I laughed bitterly.

“It just that this painting seems to be a fake. The real one seems to be in the Cherf Kingdom’s treasury.”

“That……”

Hart didn’t seem to know how to reply to that at all. He turned to a butler next to him. The butler immediately called a man over and whispered something to him. The man listened, looked at the painting again and left.

Well, I was just giving a warning because of our friendship. This was what was written on it’s attributes and I just read it out loud……

Wait. I have a bad feeling.

Could it be that World-chan went on a journey……to put everything in the world that can be shown with data inside the system……

Should I praise her for a good job? Am I going to get an attribute afterwards?

That’s too scary. I suddenly visualized picking up a weapon and seeing how many people it had killed. It felt really weird.

Forget it. Or rather it would be better not to care about that.

“Teacher is too humble. Please come this way.”

“Yes, don’t mind me.”

With that said, we went down the corridor to the innermost room. Pushing open the door, a dining room in a very western style appeared to me. I don’t remember how many similar dining rooms I’ve seen recently. They look the same after all.

And at the other end of the table from me, well, it was Hart’s father——Musred·L·Kjell

Compared to Hart’s body that looked slightly weak, Hart’s father looked very strong. I had to wonder, if everyone in their family was the same, how conducting themselves in this way would bring about this meticulous form.

Could it be that they have unusual hobbies? Well, best forget about it. It’s better not to get tangled up.

“You must be the teacher, Lin. I’m Hart’s father. Please call me Musred.”

Seeing us enter, they quickly stood up and spoke.

“Mr. Musred. It is good to meet you.”

I said with a smile.

“We don’t need to engage in any more niceties, sit. Lod, serve us. After that there are a lot of things so we will have a little chat. Isn’t that so?”

“I’d say so as well.

Take care of yourself, eat before talking.
