Surviving a Harsh Fantasy with Cheat Items

Item Cheat 110.1

While I was in the mood for my harem, a messenger came from Northmark, the imperial capital of Germania.

I thought it was about time for one to come. Theres no way this harsh fantasy world would let heroes be at ease, is there?

However, it was unexpected that the one who came was from Germania.

I had thought that the next trouble would be related to the local nobles in the south.

I decided to invite the guest to the audience of the royal castle to talk.

Queen Silhouette is sitting next to me and I am sitting on the throne. It is gilded and ornately decorated but to be honest, its not very comfortable to sit on.

Its been a long time. I was indebted to you last time.

Guardian Knight, Herman Salzhorn. Its not really that long.

To be precise, I should say that he was the former guardian knight of the late Crown Prince Freed.

He is a big knight with a rocky build and a square-type hairstyle. The iron wall title of Herman is still recognized by everyone but I believe the City of Northmark has already fallen to the hands of rebels.

Then, I guess he can be considered as an exiled knight.

If he was a freelancer, I would scout for him since hes capable of going toe to toe with Louise, whos a user of the orichalcum greatsword.

Silesies Hero-sama seems to have successfully become the king, I am very pleased.

Ironwall Herman, let us stop the formalities and start talking about your purpose.

I am here on behalf of his majesty, Emperor Conrad.

Is His Majesty Conrad Safe? I heard that the imperial castle had fallen.

I have been told many times that the Germania Empire has been divided into four parts and a coup detat is taking place in the imperial capital.

The fact that a messenger from the old emperor has come means he has safely escaped somewhere.

Although I have already fought with Freed, I have no grudge against his father, Emperor Conrad.

I heard that Emperor Conrad was a splendid hero that deserves to be called a hero. Im kind of sympathetic since I heard that the old man has a reckless son.

No, his majesty has been captured by traitors and is now a prisoner in the depths of the imperial castle. But before discussing anything further, his majesty asked me to give this to Silesies Hero-sama.

Herman opens a large wooden box he carried on his back and holds something out in front of me.

I see. Its the orichalcum armor that Freed used.

It seems to have been beautifully restored. However, the cuirass is missing.

Im sorry. It was taken away by thieves and it was impossible to get it back.

No, its fine. Ill take this favor. By the way, I wonder if there is something you want me to do now that youve given me this armor as a gift. For example, is it taking the Germania Empires side?

No, nothing of that sort! The suppression of the rebels will be carried out by the subjects of the Germania empire. This is a sign of his majestys apology.

I see, an apology.

Well, as an individual, I would like to request Silesies Hero-sama to rescue his majesty even if I had to rub my forehead against the floor. His Majesty has given me direct order to not cause you any more trouble but I have to do this as an individual.

Despite his old age, Emperor Conrad seems to be an honorable man.

The orichalcum armor, which is the only one existing in this world, could be a tool for an exchange for some kind of help.

At the very least, it is a tool that could be worth a lot of money if sold. Even I wont give it away for free.

Even if hes in a tight situation where he is being held captive, he still prioritizes apologizing for his sons misbehavior. That is the kind of man he is.

If he is someone with a terrible personality, that means hes pretty clever.

Please accept my apology but I dont need your help. I feel like the old emperor is testing me. This makes me want to help him even if he tells me not to help him.

I understand, Hermann Salzhorn. Wait here for a while. Were just going to have a small discussion.

No, I must return to his majestys side since my task has been completed.

Ill send someone who can use flight magic to help you so it will be faster. I wont make things worse so just wait for a while.

I let Herman wait and went to confer with sensei at the antechamber next to the audience hall.

.so, I would like to help the old emperor. What do you think, sensei?

Well, theres one thing I can tell you, we cant send out our troops.

The reason is not because if we intervene, we will be at war with the Germania coup army.

The reason is that we are being closely monitored by the local south nobles and we cant compromise the defense of the Duchy of Transylvania and the Duchy of Lanct.

Then, what if I were to help out with my personal force?

Well, I guess you can.

Oh, I thought sensei would object while saying I cant do anything reckless.

Sensei smiled and looked at me with an unexpected expression.

I trust you. There is no one in the old empire who can defeat Takeru-dono now. If you take Oracle and Kaara as escorts, nothing will happen to you. Its just that

What?

Stop by the Duchy of Lanct and get Duke Emehearts approval. Its a good chance to meet him again and solidify your relationship. If you are serious about rescuing the old emperor, the Dukes Alliance will be a good place to escape.

If you call me, Ill come. Or rather, Kaaras head is always poking out from somewhere when theres something important happening. I didnt even call her and shes here.

I think you should give up being a military strategist.

Wait a minute, Ironwall didnt say it but its not just the dying emperor who was being held but also the eight-year old princess. Im sure youll help the father of the country and the weak princess.

Dont predict what Im going to do like that.
