< Return of the Duke (1) >
-Party? Are you saying there are more than four twins here?
Breman Palantos asked with a frown on his face.
‘Don’t you know that I have an alter ego?’
And Sang-woo realized that they still didn’t know exactly about him.
“yes. You have one more minute. Actually, I came all the way here to bring him.”
Sang-woo answered as politely as possible, not expressing what he noticed.
At first glance, the opponent looked like a nobleman from the Middle Ages, and he seemed to be in charge.
It would be a big deal if you formed a relationship with the person in charge of this place and became hostile to the Urencia Empire.
-Are you from Earth?
Sang-woo shook his head at Breman’s question.
“no. Here are the people of the Urencia Empire.”
Sangwoo answered.
But when I said it, I felt sorry.
‘I should have asked Master’s doctor as well.’
A situation where Raven, who is still on Earth, has not been told that he has gone over to the planet Tibern.
Because I wanted to surprise you.
However, when I was in such a frustrating situation, I thought it would have been better to talk to him first and then bring him in.
‘We should talk about it now.’
While Sang-woo is talking to Raven by moving the alter ego next to Raven on Earth.
Breman’s complexion was not good.
“He’s from the Urencia Empire… He could be someone I know. First of all, you need to identify yourself. What is his name?”
For some reason, Breman’s sharp eyes glared at Sang-woo.
What was in those eyes was not unreasonable hostility, but just a will to find out the impure elements and a sense of responsibility for his responsibilities.
“wait a minute. We are talking now.”
Sang-woo put off an answer for a while.
He informed Raven that his clone had now moved to Tibern.
-You mean you’re in the Urencia Empire right now?
As soon as he heard that, Raven’s always calm face broke.
The two eyes widened and showed surprise.
“yes. Master. Originally, I was going to surprise you, but the current situation is a bit of an interrogation atmosphere…
-Hmm….
Raven spat out a voice.
He nodded his head and replied.
-I see. It worked. Then you’re probably checking your identity for access. who is in charge of it
“I said Mr. Palantos. I don’t know if it’s a name or a surname.
-Oh Palantos? Right.
As soon as he heard the name Palantos, Raven’s mouth smiled slightly.
He immediately asked Sang-woo for guidance.
-I want to go right now. disciple how can i move
“Now? wait a minute.”
Sang-woo moved the alter ego in front of Breman Palantos and spoke.
“Hey, Mr. Palantos, are you going to take him here right now?”
-Can not be done. No one can come over here without checking their identity.
“I think you know Palantos, right? You may know it when you hear the name. Raven…”
-Raven?
At those words, there was a slight commotion among the soldiers.
“Your name is Raven?”
“You have the same name as the Duke of Raven.”
“Couldn’t it be… aren’t they Earthlings with the same name?”
While everyone was so suspicious.
Sang-woo did not understand what the soldiers were saying, but he guessed it with his eyes and nodded.
“Perhaps you are right. That’s right Duke Raven.”
-Nonsense. He had already passed away decades ago…
while Breman was telling him not to lie.
Sang-woo took direct action.
“Then you can bring it yourself, right? right? wait a minute.
– Hey hey. wait. don’t move!
Everyone was nervous again at Sang-woo’s sudden action, and they were on alert for him.
In the meantime, a sub-space appears in front of Sang-woo. A black hole created
when
space is distorted.
And a man came out of the hole. A man
who
stepped down among the troops crowding in the middle of the castle wall almost without a sound.
It was Raven.
At the same time, as soon as the behemoth appeared, the soldiers instinctively opened fire as they were trained.
Dozens of magic bullets resembling bullets were fired from their gun-like weapons.
Tadadadada- Bang!
Raven and his alter egos are in danger of becoming like a beehive in an instant.
one.
Shashashashashak-
It seemed as if the wind was blowing around Raven, but the magic bullets disappeared in an instant.
It was an overwhelming figure that cut through magic bullets close to the speed of sound.
‘Crazy…’
‘The strong one.’
‘Am I going to die here?’
The soldiers, realizing at once that he was a strong man, broke into a cold sweat.
But is it scary to be a habit?
They did not give in and tried to attack again as they had been trained.
Because if this place they were in collapsed, the entire Urencia Empire would be in danger.
one.
“stop!”
They had no choice but to stop at the order of Breman, their supervisor and superior.
Whiiying –
After a brief lull, the wind blows.
Raven opened his mouth.
“They are well-trained soldiers. Has the empire changed that much?”
His murmur of satisfaction.
And Breman’s eyes looking at Raven.
His eyes were very shaking.
‘…Is that really him?’
Breman couldn’t believe the image of Raven standing in front of him.
Currently, Raven’s outfit is a training suit he usually wears.
It was a bit of a loose outfit, but it didn’t bother Brehman at all.
Unique silver hair blowing in the wind.
That beautiful colored hair, handsome face, and deep voice.
It was exactly the same as the Duke Kaisel Raven he knew.
And whether Raven felt the gaze staring at him, or whether he naturally found the person in charge, Raven’s gaze turned to Breman.
Raven met Breman’s eyes right in front of her.
Seeing Raven’s face or eyes straight on, Breman finally opened his mouth wide in surprise.
“Duke Le Raven…?”
Those deep eyes that seem to be sucked in.
When he saw the eyes he had seen as a child again, Brehmann, who became convinced, muttered involuntarily.
In fact, he couldn’t have known Raven because he grew up listening to the story of Duke Kaisel Raven, the master of Stormbringer and the guardian sword of the Empire.
In addition, studying abroad in the imperial capital, which he left in his childhood.
There he had two years of experience taking lessons at the swordsmanship academy run by the Raven duchy.
It wasn’t direct transmission, but I saw Raven right in front of me several times.
That’s why I couldn’t help but notice his unique silver hair and eyes.
And surprisingly.
“Oh, you look very much like that boy. Was his name Breman?”
As soon as Raven saw Breman, he remembered him.
Academy personnel who reached hundreds of people in one jockey.
Among them, Raven remembered the name of the second son of the local Margrave who was not particularly special.
“Do you remember me?”
“of course. I remember everyone I taught.”
Although Raven did not accept a single official student who taught Stormbringer, Raven spared no effort in teaching swordsmanship to many people through the academy.
And surprisingly, he remembered Breman’s name among so many disciples.
‘The technique was clumsy, but he was exceptionally strong.’
Of course, that didn’t mean he remembered everyone’s name.
It was possible because Breman was so unique (?) during his academy days, and through the name Palantos he had heard from Sang-woo, he was reminded of Breman among the people at the academy he taught.
And Breman, who does not know that fact.
A deep emotion spread across his hardened face.
“It’s an honor! Duke Raven!”
With those words, he knelt down and clenched his right hand into a fist and brought it to his left chest.
“Meet Duke Raven!”
At the same time, the other soldiers also knelt down and made the same gesture as Brehmann, expressing their respect.
“Meet Duke Raven!”
“Meet Duke Raven!”
“Meet Duke Raven!”
“Meet Duke Raven!”
…Not only the dozens of soldiers surrounding Sang-woo, but all the soldiers on the wall made such movements in an orderly and moderate manner.
Then, as if the waves were spreading, the waves spread over the castle wall.
It was spectacular.
‘Wow… what is this.’
Sang-woo was dumbfounded.
Sang-woo had only heard about Raven telling him that he was a duke, but had no idea what level he was.
But looking at it now, the prestige and authority were clearly different.
‘Isn’t it a joke Master?’
Although he couldn’t understand their conversation well, when Sang-woo saw the current situation, he realized that his master had been recognized, and Sang-woo shrugged at the thought that he was also his master.
Raven raised Breman to his feet.
Swoop-
The overwhelming mana he moved made Breman’s body, which had been kneeling, stand upright on its own.
“uh? Uh…”
Brehman was surprised.
“It’s embarrassing to be treated like this. Still, I don’t like ostentation. That’s enough.”
“Ah yes. All right. Wake up everyone!”
At those words, all the guards on the castle wall who were kneeling on their knees stood up and started to take precautions like before.
“Thank you.”
“no. Duke. Anyway, I need to report this right away. Report directly to Nielsen.”
“yes. Captain.”
Brehman, who had his adjutant report to the upper level.
“Duke. Sorry for keeping you in a shabby place for so long. I will serve you right away.”
He immediately guided Raven and Sang-woo into the city.
The place where they were just before was the outer castle of the Earl of Palantos.
The size of the outer castle was enormous, almost the size of the Great Wall of the Earth.
This was the result of repeated extension and extension of the castle due to a long war, and there was a separate inner castle where people actually lived inside the outer castle.
to guide you there.
“Come on.”
And what they saw in front of them after going down the wall was a strange-looking animal.
A feathered body with an eagle’s head. But a beast with huge wings like a lion’s limbs.
It was Griffin.
And Sang-woo, who saw it.
As soon as he saw it, he saw the griffin’s face and the reins around its neck and realized it was a means of transportation.
“Isn’t this a monster?”
Sang-woo knew about Griffins to some extent because there was a dungeon where Griffins appeared on Earth.
It is a flying monster that flies, but its body is land-type, so it has strong strength, and it is a dangerous monster that is considered an A-class monster because of its sharp claws and strong teeth.
I’ve already hunted a few times.
So, he wouldn’t get hurt, but he asked because he was worried that an accident might occur if he used a dangerous monster as a means of transportation.
And in response to that, Breman replied with a smile.
-You’ve probably seen monsterized griffins, but these guys are fine. They’re all tamed guys.
Breman’s voice heard again after being translated.
With those words, as Breman tickled the back of Griffin’s neck, Griffin rubbed his head against Breman’s hand as if feeling good.
‘It’s cuter than I thought. But is there such a thing as an interpreter skill?’
It felt better than the interpreter app built into smart goggles.
Interpretation apps were in the form of hearing the translated language as a voice in your ear belatedly or recalling the translated content on the screen of your goggles, but the current interpretation method used by Brehmann was a method in which the meaning was automatically understood in the mind.
“Mr. Palantos, but how do you translate that? Is it like interpreting skills?”
-It’s a skill… no. It’s magic. here this one
He looked at his bracelet.
A luxurious bracelet studded with large things that look like mana stones at a glance.
-A bracelet with a built-in interpreter magic. If you inject mana and talk, your will is transmitted to the other person’s brain rather than a conversation.
It was a form of telepathy.
Of course, the difference is that Earth also has telepathic skills, but there is no translation function there.
“It’s good. Can I get it later?”
-hmm? If you go to the Raven duchy, there will be many of them. haha.
Breman laughed back, taking Sang-woo’s words as a joke.
At those words, Sang-woo looked at Raven again.
Raven is already on the griffin.
He smiled as he swept his mane, as if it was new to the griffin he had ridden for the first time in a while.
Depending on the appearance, Sang-woo and his alter egos rode on another griffin next to him.
The size of the griffin was quite large, so it was enough for three people to sit together.
After sitting down like that, Sang-woo asked Raven questions.
“Master, can you get that?”
– You mean the interpreter? Of course. If the family is still intact
.
It took one back story.
‘Well, it’s because a lot of time has passed.’
There is a low chance that the family will remain intact.
Listening to Breman’s story, it seemed like he was still fine.
“Listening to Mr. Breman, I think you’re okay?”
– Yeah, I don’t know from the outside. I wonder how Ahn has changed. Above all, he is a disciple.
Raven’s tone became quiet.
– Power is not shared even with family.
