Jin was surprised that Lorenz, whom he thought of as a merchant, asked such a direct question.
"No, your knowledge seems to be so varied that I was wondering if you were not originally from this country."
"I see. ......"
It is true that I understand that the questions I asked were at different levels.
However, Jin could not decide if there would be any problem if he told the truth here.
If Reiko or the old man were around, Jin was literally on his own now.
If something beyond his control occurred, he would have no way to deal with it.
Jin remembered the time when he was surrounded by the soldiers led by Count Walter in the village of Kaina.
(What would have happened if Reiko had not been there at that time?)
If he had been falsely accused, how long would it have taken to prove his innocence if he had been captured, and what would have been done to him in the meantime?
Jin could not decide whether Lorenz, who was in front of him, was a person to whom he could confide honestly or not.
Therefore, he decided to explain the facts in a somewhat blurred manner, although he would not tell a lie.
"I think that I might have been involved in some kind of transition, some kind of accident. I don't have a clear memory of it.
Jin thinks that even if he is lying about not having a clear memory, he can make an excuse like <>, so he will be able to handle it.
"Are you a transference system ......?"
Lorenz looked surprised when he heard the word "transference".
"All of the transfer magic circle or warp gates are supposed to be controlled by the state. In other words, Jin-san was in a position to obtain such permission, right?
"Is that so?"
Jin maintains his attitude of not knowing for sure.
"If this country ...... is not from the Principality of Mercana, then it must be from the country on the other side of the river, <>. ......"
Jin was disappointed inside. He had never heard of the Principality of Juggs.
(A parallel world, after all. ......)
Jin renewed his determination to establish a new base.
* * * * * *
More and more, Lorenz could not recognize the young man Jin.
It is difficult to determine whether his vague memory is true or false.
And even if it is a lie, we cannot unilaterally condemn it.
It depends on what Jin said next.
.
Lorenz is told that this is a magical technology that was put to practical use several hundred years ago.
Its benefits were great, revolutionizing logistics and the movement of people.
On the other hand, since it could also be used for military purposes, it has a history of being controlled entirely by the state, as discussed among the nations at that time.
It should not be possible to use the transference for personal use.
Not because of the law, but because it is too advanced in terms of maintenance and technology.
If it is true that he came to this village by means of this transfer, then Jin may be a person of global importance.
It was beyond the level of Lorenz, a mere intelligence agent, to make such a judgment.
Yes, Lorenz was not only a merchant, but also an intelligence agent who investigated and reported the situation in various places.

Anyway, even though they are on the opposite shore, they are more than 2,000 kilometers apart by sea. It is not easy to come and go.
"That's a long way. ...... Is there no way to fly there?"
