Chapter 45 It's Been a While, Meisa (1)
After asking a few more questions, Igon said she had asked him how to get to the west.
However, when he mentioned several nearby place names, she seemed completely unfamiliar with them.
This meant she wasn't someone who had lived in Kalamaf City for long.
"Ah, and thinking about it now, the horse she rode didn't seem to be from around here either. Its whole body gleamed with golden fur, clearly a fine horse at first glance, so I had to lock the stable securely."
Turan suddenly recalled a story he had heard long ago from Labus, the elder of the village below Hisaril Hill.
Before his mother's death, when he hadn't yet fallen out with the villagers.
Labus had stroked young Turan's head while telling him there had been an exceptionally fine golden horse in the village.
Hadn't he said it was such a magnificent beast that someone from a nearby city bought it for a high price?
Turan's mother must have ridden that horse to Hisaril Hill, then sold it to buy the sheep farm on the hill.
The villagers would have naturally lowballed the price of the horse.
'This much is certain now.'
There was no doubt that the woman the vagrant Igon spoke of was Turan's mother.
"What about her husband?"
"Well, truthfully, we didn't talk much about that. My dead wife used to scold me for flirting whenever I talked to pretty women..."
Besides, he said he couldn't even make small talk since she herself avoided socializing with others.
If she was truly on the run, it was natural that she would want to minimize contact with others.
After repeating his earlier questions to check if anything changed, Turan gave him several gold coins and sent him away.
"Oh my, receiving such a large sum makes me feel guilty..."
"It was worth it."
While several gold coins were pocket change to Turan, for that vagrant it was enough money to survive the winter and more.
Of course, he might lose it all gambling, but worrying about that would be excessive meddling.
Since giving such a large reward might increase false reports in the future, Turan instructed the civil servants to retrieve the portraits and stop accepting related information.
Anyway, now that he knew his mother wasn't from this city, it would be better to look in other cities.
After settling everything, he lay down on the bed in his lodgings at the top of the city hall.
"Whew..."
If she had headed west, then his mother must have come from either the north, east, or south.
The black eagle quickly erased this and wrote another sentence.
[Turan sad without Bize.]
So, seeing that he seemed to be suffering from not having his mother, it wanted to take her name and be her replacement.
Turan burst into laughter unconsciously at such innocent, childlike sentiment.
"I appreciate the thought, but you don't need to do that. The time when I was sad about not having a mother passed long ago. Since it's your name, you should think more carefully..."
[Thought lot. I am Bize.]
Even when suggested to think of other names, the black eagle stubbornly insisted, clicking its beak.
After trying to persuade it several more times without success, Turan shook his head.
"Alright... if that's what you want. From now on, I'll call you Bize."
Actually, having the same name wasn't such a big deal.
Except for some names that were only commonly used in specific regions, people tend to use similar names wherever you go in the world.
Even Turan had met three or four people with the same name during his travels, and he had heard the name Bize several times as well.
"I'll be counting on you from now on, Bize."
[I am Bize!]
The black eagle, now bearing his mother's name, chirped and flapped its wings.

Separate from finding clues about his mother's existence, Turan faithfully performed his role as Kalamaf's protector.
In fact, given how he directly fed and raised them, it wouldn't be strange to call him their father.
"No way, logs flying by themselves..."
"Come on, no time to rest, let's quickly organize them and take them to the lumber yard."
"How are these stones so perfectly square? The dimensions are so perfect they don't even need to be cut further!"
After somewhat resolving the food supply issue, Turan also directly solved other material shortages using magic.
He secured large quantities of construction materials by either enchanting daggers with cutting enhancement magic and making them fly to fell dozens of trees, levitating them with floating spells, or using earth manipulation magic to transform rocks into building stones.
The process had the added benefit of practicing telekinetic magic for moving objects and earth manipulation magic.
With one powerful wizard using his strength as labor force, being no less effective than thousands of strong men, Kalamaf was rebuilt more quickly.
Moreover, as rumors spread that a powerful wizard protected the city, even those who had fled began to return, and after a few weeks, Kalamaf City showed similar prominence to its past, if not quite the same level.@@@@
