Episode 1035. Let’s do a favor,
Alpha Company 1st platoon barracks.
When Elio returned, Fabian, who had been waiting for him, hurriedly approached.
“Why did the duke call you?”
“They told me not to fight the Putokoa Counts. It means that Count Putokoa will have trouble returning to the territory because of me.”
“So what did you decide to do?”
“I said I would. If Count Putokoa leaves now, only those who remain will suffer.”
“Good job. When Putokoa guards the rift, if demons pop out, they have no answer. You can blow your nose with someone else’s hand, but there’s nothing to criticize for touching it.”
“By the way, can we leave revenge in someone else’s hands?”
Cale, who had been listening from behind, slipped in.
“If Count Futokoa suffers great damage in Hirhera, it will be easy for Elio-sama to take revenge.”
“Even if Sir Elio knocks on it, it will be ruined.”
“It’s cheap even if it fails.”
The knights agreed with Cale’s opinion.
No one liked the countess of Putokoa because of being insulted by the barons of Putokoa in front of the restaurant.
It was when the conversation went into a lull after a bout of cursing at Count Putokoa.
Ridley said suddenly.
“By the way, did you know that there is a beauty knight in the Corvo Magic Corps?”
“A beautiful knight?”
Kunute showed interest.
“I met the other platoon drivers earlier, but they all only talked about that, didn’t they?”
“okay? Are you sure you’re a knight of the Corvo Magic Corps? Aren’t you misunderstanding the wizard?”
“The article is right. Did you see the wizard wearing heavy armor?”
“A knight in heavy armor would be right. When did you see that again? The wizards noticed, so I didn’t even look at them.”
“They said they saw him with the company commander, Bellatos. The Bellatos Company members say he is the cousin of Company Captain Irwin Leather?”
“ah! Isn’t Baron Erwin Leather from the Knights Academy of the Isles? You deserve to have relatives on the island.”
“Anyway, according to people who saw it up close, it’s pretty enough to make your eyes roll. He is also talented in swordsmanship, so even though he is in his early twenties, he is already a sword beginner.”
“Hasn’t the Creator given too much to one person?”
“That’s right. Isn’t the meaning of the Corvo Magic Corps a crow? The female knight’s nickname is ‘the jewel bitten by the crow’.”
“I’m going crazy.”
“That makes sense.”
The knights who were listening helped one by one.
Excited, Ridley seasoned the story she had heard.
The knights let out a series of exclamations at Ridley’s words.
Elio smiled at the knights behind him.
The men here seemed to be no different from the men in Gangho.
‘People’s lives are similar, but why is there a distinction between the lower world and the upper world?’
No matter how much I think about it, I can’t figure it out.
Looking back, the first time I went to ‘King’s Sky’ was like that.
The gods and humans, demons, and Elyos were almost the same as the humans in the underworld.
I’ve been with them for quite some time, but I’ve never felt them as higher-dimensional beings.
It’s just that the ‘environment’ and ‘reiki being the source of power’ are different.
So was this world.
Except for the powerful power of ‘Mana’, it was no different from ‘The Underworld’ or ‘The Sky of Kings’ where he lived.
Only the power to support and maintain the world was different, but the living creatures living in it were all the same.
Only then do I wonder what the meaning of going to the world of seongye as Deukdo is.
While Elio was immersed in his own thoughts, Fabian asked.
“Isn’t Sir Elio going?”
“Where?”
“You decided to visit the Bellatos Company just now, didn’t you? Shall we go together?”
“Why are you going there?”
“Why? Of course, to see ‘The Jewel Bite by the Crow’.”
“Tsk tsk! Is that female knight still in Bellatos Company?”
“If you don’t have it, you have to get information. Doesn’t someone tell you to stay still?”
“What do you do after getting it?”
“When you go back to the manor, all of that will become a commemoration and a memory.”
“I don’t need those memories.”
Elio resolutely refused and lay down on the cot.
Fabian couldn’t help but leave the inn with Ridley.
Cale asked Kunute who was left at the dorm.
“Why didn’t you go?”
“What does a married man do when he sees a beauty article?”
“Oh was it? Fabian will live in Bellatos Company for the time being. I’ve been snooping around the Phantom Knights for a while. Are you going to last a little longer this time?”
Still, it was Fabian’s business, so Elio showed interest.
“Why join the Phantom Knights?”
The Phantom Knights are the magic musketeers of the Escatos Kingdom. All of the gun knights were mana users, so their destructive power was comparable to that of a sword master.
“Why would you? It’s because there are many female knights in the Phantom Knights. Knights prefer ranged combat to close combat. As a result, there are many female knights in the Magic Musketeers.”
“ah!”
Elio immediately drew attention.
I felt like I knew it without hearing the story behind it.
“Fabian was enamored with one of them, a female knight named Sera, and for a while he seemed to come and go.”
Qunut, who was holding a book out, interrupted.
“I still snoop sometimes.”
Elio smiled and said.
“Then you keep your eyes on the female knight of the Corvo Magic Corps?”
“Rather than trying to figure out what to do, I think it’s because young knights flock around saying they like it. There is nothing else to do during breaks.”
“It is like that again.”
Elio shook his head.
At Fabian’s age, life in the barracks in the garrison must be quite frustrating.
Elio’s gaze suddenly turned to Qunut’s hand.
“What is that book?”
“Oh is this? This is a mana development book I brought to read when I was bored.”
“A mana development book?”
“It is a record of how to systematically train mana. Receiving the blessing of mana is no different from just standing on the starting line. If you don’t have the same talent as Fabian, you have to try.”
Kunute laughed self-deprecatingly.
Elio immediately understood what he meant.
“I want to read a book too, but is there any place where I can learn letters?”
“yes? Don’t know the letters? Are you good at speaking the common language of the continent?”
Elio held up the ring on his hand.
“Because this is an artifact that translates. This is a gift from Mage Carlos.”
“ah!”
“Sometimes the interpretation is strange, and I want to read the book. They say that if you learn the common language of the continent, you will become better at interpreting.”
“If that’s the case… Um. How about asking Fabian to teach you?”
“To Fabian?”
“Because Fabian came from an aristocratic family, so he was systematically educated. Most of the knights I know are from commoners, so I can’t teach others.”
“Did Fabian come from a noble family?”
“His father was a single nobleman. There will be saints who received it at that time. Fabian doesn’t use it well because he’s a commoner.”
“aha.”
Elio decided to ask Fabian to teach him to read when he returned.
This is because it is much more efficient than learning from people who have learned randomly in their lives.
Ridley and Fabian, who had gone out in the middle of the day, did not return until dusk.
Cale and Kunute spoke one word at a time.
“Did you see the face?”
“I thought he was frozen to death because he didn’t come.”
Fabian shook his head.
“I didn’t see it. By the way, there are strange rumors going around?”
“What other rumors?”
To Qunut’s question, Fabian glanced at Elio and answered.
“I heard that the knight and Sir Elio met?”
“What?”
“Why does Sir Elio’s name appear there?”
Cale and Kunute took turns looking at Fabian and Elio.
Elio, who was rolling around on the cot, said as he got down the bed.
“I did meet you.”
“Yes?”
“Really?”
Before long, Fabian asked with a pitiful face.
“Helio-sama, why didn’t you tell me that you met?”
“What are you saying is such a big deal?”
“Of course, it may not be a big deal to Elio-nim, but… it’s very important to us.”
Then Cale and Kunute said a word.
“Fabian, take my name out of there.”
“me too.”
Fabian, who was in a fit of heat for a moment, showed a nervous reaction.
“Oh, is that important now? Stay still. Do you know how resentful we were in Bellatos Company? I’m asking what kind of relationship you have with Sir Elio… I sweated a lot trying to answer. How are you related?”
“It has nothing to do with it. The company commander, Bellatos, called me to thank me, but the female knight came first. He said he had a cup of coffee and left right away.”
“wow! Did you even drink coffee with that female knight?”
“Who drank with this woman? I drank with the Bellatos company commander.”
“I heard you have sapphire eyes, is that true?”
“I don’t know about sapphire, but it seems to be blue like lapis lazuli.”
“Did you see everything?”
“I sat right in front of you, how can you not see me? What kind of coffee do you drink with your eyes closed?”
“So, how do you feel seeing the rumored female knight up close? Please tell me.”
Excited Fabian persisted, but the knights did not dissuade him.
Rather, everyone seems to be curious to see Elio.
“It’s pretty, but should I say it’s not ‘so pretty that the country leans over’? Anyway, that much?”
In fact, there was no one prettier than Namgoongyeon to Elio.
So that alone is a huge compliment.
Fabian asked with an absurd face at the bizarre analogy he had never heard before.
“Is there anyone in the world who is so pretty that the country tilts?”
“there is.”
“Who are you?”
“My wife.”
“Ah… yes, of course you would. Anyway, I know very well that Sir Elio and the female knight are not related.”
Fabian meekly backed away.
His wife was the most beautiful person in the world, so he asked for more, but it was mana.
The knights who were keen on their senses also scattered with withered faces.
Elio called for Fabian, who was about to return to his cot.
“Fabian.”
“yes?”
“Let’s do a favor.”
“What is it?”
“Teach me the common language of the Continent.”
“Continental?”
Elio said, showing the ring on his finger.
“I’m owed an Artifact, right? I can only speak, but I can’t read books.”
“ah! After all, if you become a lord, you should be able to read official documents, right? Let me teach you. Instead, I also have a request.”
“If you say something about this company, you’re right.”
“Not like that.”
“say it.”
“Teach me swordsmanship. Then I will make you able to read and write the common language of the continent.”
Elio looked at Fabian with bewildered eyes.
I had no idea he would put forward such a condition.
“Hey, let’s be here instead. I’ll arrange a seat for you.”
“I don’t like it. Isn’t it a picture of a painting that you have to meet here? I want to learn swordsmanship from Sir Elio.”
Unexpectedly, Fabian refused even to meet with the female knight and clung to his swordsmanship.
Only then did Elio realize that he was serious about swordsmanship.
‘Oh, that’s annoying.’
I introduced the female knight and tried to shake it off, but I don’t know what happened.
The knights who had been listening to the conversation between the two spoke one word at a time.
“Oh oh! Fabian! You finally came to your senses!”
“It is a wise choice.”
“At this rate, the final winner is Sir Sera!”
Then Fabian shouted with a reddened face.
“Stop it! Why is Sir Sera’s name popping up here!”
Elio shook his head.
I think I know what’s inside seeing that he doesn’t deny it even though he’s jumping up and down.
Still, it seems that he didn’t lose his temper when he rejected the female knight’s introduction and asked him to teach him swordsmanship.
“Fabian, if you swear to learn swordsmanship under me for three years, I’ll teach you.
Elio stared at Fabian without a smile.
