The Linda Singers' Squad was the most enthusiastic in responding to the Harry Family Merchant Guild's proposal.
The Harry Chamber of Commerce is one of the chambers of commerce that is cooperating with Sandy.
Linda, with her special status, set off to perform for the city via the teleportation array. After half a month of wandering and two teleportations, the team finally entered Sandy's territory.
This area is not the viscountry area, but the baronry area that Linda believed back then.
Upon entering, Linda clearly sensed the difference. o(一︿一+)o
In the countryside, the population has increased, and there are also subspecies of rabbits and cats mixed in.
In this direction, there are more of these two subspecies.
Since the land reclamation order had not been issued, they only received basic land. Although the area for farming did not expand much, the territory warriors often cleared away wild beasts.
With safety guaranteed and almost everyone in the household employed, the landscape is completely different.
Linda had traveled to many places with the band, but such a territory was relatively rare. Several nobles who were friendly to their subjects came to mind.
Lord Borg was one of them back then.
People greeted guests with smiles, and Linda was in a good mood throughout her journey.
Linda was somewhat prepared for the rural scenery, but she still couldn't help but be surprised after entering Sandy City!
Is this still the same village that was developing towards the city?
It feels like it's developing into a capital city now, no, it should be the capital of an imperial country.
It's become too extravagant.
Tens of thousands of people have gathered in the city. Now all the openly rented shops are full. The chambers of commerce are putting their efforts into securing large-scale projects. At least one thing is an open secret among the chambers of commerce: investing in Magic Crystals in Sandy is a sure thing.
The initial benefits of territory development and the hectic pace of life meant that even low-ranking swordsmen and mages were getting used to building houses.
There was nothing they could do; the lord of Sandy Territory was simply a big spender.
You can make tons of magic crystals without having to risk your life as an adventurer.
Just as there are people who enjoy adventure, there are also those who prefer stability.
Many people are currently hesitant about whether to establish a long-term magical contract with the lord's manor.
It's fine if it's not for a short period, but if a swordsman builds a house for a long time, it seems like he'll be ridiculed.
Young people hesitate for various reasons, but the elderly have already taken action.
Linda walked at the front of the group.
As is customary, a performance is held whenever the group travels to a noble territory.
The singers and dancers were all masked, and each song, with its own story, was beautiful to listen to, bringing a slight smile to the faces of the audience.
????)
And so, the singing troupe, who had been strolling around for a short while, performed on the street corner.
The music goddess's team spreads divine light and allows us to experience the charm of music.
Gradually, people gathered around, making the already bustling street even more lively.
People come here to watch this rare song and dance performance.
One by one, shallow believers were born.
But as Linda sang, she looked at the swordsmen in the distance and wondered why they weren't coming.
To cut down a boulder with a sword—is that an interest that surpasses the enjoyment of song and dance?
With a touch of curiosity, the singers stopped singing as the music faded.
People left with a chorus of praise, while Linda went to the swordsman in the distance.
A low-ranking swordsman, an uncle named Mario, with claw marks on his face from his days as an adventurer.
It wasn't a wound from a sword or blade, but rather from a fight with a monster. That adventure was arguably the most dangerous one of his swordsmanship years ago.
Now that he's older, he returned to his homeland and, after several moves, settled down in Sandy City.
For those who have accumulated some wealth as adventurers, settling in Sandy Territory for an extended period is a good option.
The singers' group of the music goddess!
I was fortunate enough to hear it a few times in those years.
Just reminisce about it; there are more important things to do right now.
Linda stepped aside, finally catching the attention of the foreman, Mario.
"Miss, is there something you need?"
The adventurer wasn't exactly rude, but he wasn't particularly particular about etiquette either, and casually asked.
Linda then revealed her purpose: "How long have you been here, swordsman, and the other swordsmen here?"
Linda originally wanted to ask why she didn't go to hear her sing, but before she could finish, she changed the question.
Mario didn't care: "I've been working in Sandy for several months now. Work is important. Is there anything else?"
Linda frowned...
This answer is not clear enough.
"So why do you do this job, and have been doing it for so long?"
"Initially, we were attracted by the large amount of magic crystals as a reward, but now the magic crystal reward is a bit less because of the high labor costs. However, we still need this job."
"Why..."
“Miss, there’s no need to ask anymore. I know what you want to ask. We all want our children to have better schools to attend. After enrolling in the free school in Sandy Territory, we wanted to buy more supplementary potions…”
...
Linda choked there. (@_@;)
She understood the reason, but she had rarely heard of this free academy.
Because of the teleportation array, Linda hadn't heard anything about what was happening in the neighborhood...
So Sandy has gotten even more!
Linda finally couldn't resist wanting to see Ron, but she had a few more questions to ask.
The matter of Lord Borg...
However, when Linda met Ron at the lord's manor, she was certain of the team's rapid investigation.
Ron really did become a lord.
There's nothing unusual about a fourteen-year-old lord; there are quite a few even younger lords on the continent.
However, the young lord's achievements shocked Linda, which was very difficult to understand.
One can only think, genius...
...
Despite his various wild speculations, Ron faced Linda outside the lord's manor with an expression of certainty.
Finally... it's here.
The Singers Squad.
As for the fact that the visitor was someone from back then, this surprised Ron a little, but it didn't matter much.
As long as it can record songs, that's fine!
"Heh!" Ron asked first, "Singer, is there anything I need at my lord's manor?"
"Yes, we've heard that the lord of Sandy Territory wants the chosen ones of the goddess of music to perform, so we've come..."
Ron laughed and said, "Alright, would the singer mind if I recorded his voice?"
Linda was even more confused. What did recording sound mean? Was there such a thing as sound magic?
Ron said, "This is not a good place to talk. Come with me."
Ron led Linda into the mansion. The hall was large enough for the musicians' team to settle in.
Inside the lord's council chamber, Ron took out an item.
“I obtained this from the burial site of heroes, and I believe it can help your Lord spread the faith. I, Sandy, am also fortunate to record the singer’s performance.”
After a while, an older woman from the Singers' Squad exclaimed, "Phantom Stone!"
Ron smiled without saying a word. He had a talent for spatial elements, so finding the illusion stones of spacetime would be easier for him, but it would be difficult for others. The hidden places within the Heroes' Burial Grounds were not so easy to find, yet people were still searching for the central area of that time.
Linda had obviously heard of the legendary Phantom Stone and vaguely guessed the unusual reward method of the Duchy of Ferkang. At the same time, she understood Ron's meaning.
“My lord, if you want me to agree, I’d like to ask a few questions first!” Linda said with a smile.
Ron replied, "No problem."
"Alright, may I ask, Lord, why are you so kind to your people?"
"Of course," Ron said. "It's a win-win situation, good for you, good for me, good for everyone."
Haha, what an unexpected and creative answer!
Ron was trying not to laugh, but Linda listened attentively and privately accepted several of Ron's legal reasons.
"There's another question: what about the complete song from back then? Has Your Lordship completed it?"
“Well… I really can’t help it,” Ron said, shrugging. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
...
...
After asking a few more seemingly insignificant questions, Linda, as a chosen one of the gods, decided to grant Ron's request.
This matter is inherently beneficial to my god, especially since the lord who made the request is the lord of Sandy Territory, which is the usual practice of the Singer Squad.
Whether or not to perform at the lord's manor depends on the circumstances.
Upon arrival, agreeing to the additional request, and receiving the so-called natural phantom stone, a small-scale miracle occurred.
Large-scale miracles have not been seen for a thousand years, but now a small-scale miracle has appeared before Ron.
Could Linda be a chosen one of God?
But then, a divine light enveloped Linda, and the graceful figure of the woman floated into the air. Finally, the divine light illuminated the entire council hall.
Everyone in the hall fainted for a moment.
Deep within the mansion, the legendary Will, who was cultivating, murmured, "God, what is it? Can you release my disciple?"
"I just wanted to talk to him. There's nothing wrong."
Sensing that the god meant no harm, Will sighed helplessly and decided not to pursue the matter further.
Kid, when did you become so capable that you could alarm the gods of this era and make them spend so much effort to use divine intervention?
Times have changed. (￣︶￣)↗
