The Legend of Return
Chapter 486. A visitor in a certain summer (1)
Fr r r r r r r r r r r.
Chee hee hee hee hee hee.
Today, Yeongju still cooks himself.
Arin and the knights of the castle who were invited were salivating at the sound of fire and splashing oil coming from the kitchen.
The smell was so amazing.
The lord suddenly invited important people in the territories to lunch.
The energy of the lord, who was taking out his anger on cooking as if he was angry about what was happening, made the atmosphere in the restaurant tense.
“What are you doing, my lord?”
Talman cautiously asked Arin the wizard.
“That’s good for me too…”
Arin didn’t come out with an easy answer either.
Unlike other times, the face of the invited lord was full of dissatisfaction.
I don’t know what it was, but I was certain that I was very upset.
Yeong-joo frowned and took a combative approach to cooking.
Bubbly.
Just then, the lord appeared with a wide plate in both hands.
chin. chin.
Two dishes on the table.
gulp.
“Ummm…..”
It was the first dish I had ever seen in my life, but it didn’t disappoint today either.
Chicken dishes with savory and spicy spices and thick minced pork.
In addition, other dishes filled with vegetable juices of various colors occupied the table.
Both were plentiful.
First of all, the splendid eye-catching and mouth-watering smell made everyone drool.
“A glass of Talman Sutra, please.”
Youngjoo sat down and held out his glass.
A big cup too.
“yes! Lord!”
As a mercenary, Talman, who was quick-witted, jumped up and filled the lord’s glass with wine.
High-quality wine sent as a gift directly from the owner of the Kalmon Merchant Chamber of Yubes Merchants.
again roro roro rock.
“full.”
“yes!!!”
It wasn’t the dining etiquette of an aristocratic family, but it wasn’t the lord who was arguing about such things.
Talman filled his wine glass as mercenaries do.
“Let’s all have a drink.”
In a strange atmosphere, the knights and wizard Arin also filled their glasses with wine.
“It was hot, but everyone had a hard time.”
“For the glory of the lord!”
“thank you. Lord.”
The lord hurriedly dumped the wine into one room.
“hmm.”
A lord who doesn’t lick his lips even after pouring so much wine into it.
“I’ll follow you with one more cup.”
Knight Kars refilled the wine.
Like Talman, he poured the wine right before the glass overflowed.
“For the development of the Becker estate that the gods bless.”
Yeongju emptied his glass and uttered a second congratulatory message.
This time, I emptied all the wine in one go.
“Everyone, try cooking too.”
After drinking two glasses of wine, Yeongju smiled as usual.
“oh! What is this dish, my lord? The spicy yet sweet taste is overwhelming!”
Talman made a fuss and didn’t even bother giving compliments that were nice to hear.
He poured the dish onto his plate with a large spoon and ate it deliciously.
“Wine and fantastic combination.”
Even Kars, one of the well-educated knights, was genuinely surprised.
“It’s delicious.”
Arin also smiled broadly, tasted the food, and said a few words.
Cooking was amazing as much as I burned my anger.
Before he knew it, Yeongju also smiled and immersed himself in eating the dish he had prepared.
The conversation paused for a moment as he concentrated on eating.
Since the cooking was so great, everyone emptied their food satisfactorily.
“Sir Kars. How is the food situation provided to the soldiers?”
After drinking wine, the lord asked with a relaxed expression.
“Due to the care of the lord, regular soldiers are being rationed with high-quality wheat, meat, seasonal fruit, and wine.”
“Are the peasant soldiers properly fed?”
“of course. Peasant soldiers participating in regular training are provided with the same meals as regular soldiers.”
“The soldiers and citizens of the territory are the guardians and assets of the territory. If they are negligent, the lord of Bonn will never forgive them.”
“I will never harm your lord’s reputation.”
Kars replied with strength.
There was no lord like this in the world.
In addition to the knights, regular soldiers were also provided with high-quality food.
Peasant soldiers are usually given hard rye bread, but this was not the case only in the Becker estate.
Even during training, the quality of food was so good that there were peasant soldiers who complained about the lack of training days.
Twice a year, regular training was held for one month during the break.
At the same time, specialized training was also conducted for archers and spearmen and infantry.
Each time, the lord generously took care of the soldiers.
It was the most ideal way to train soldiers in the territory.
In other territories, it was common for peasant soldiers to be handed a spear.
When war broke out, they were just arrowheads.
Since the cost of the knights was no joke, funds were not provided even to the peasant soldiers.
In that respect, the Becker estate was completely different.
Knight Kars was another reason to respect the lord.
“Where I lived… there was a time when a knight in charge of training disobeyed the order of the lord, exploited the soldiers’ goods and only enriched himself. The soldiers lived cold, hungry and hard due to the exploits of the knights. The driver said discipline is only when you’re hungry, but I don’t think so. It is exploitation, stealing, and seriously damaging the honor of the lord who appointed it. Lords, take note of that and keep my words in mind.”
“insect!”
“Chuwoong!”
The two chief knights of the estate answered loudly.
“Such guys will one day be stabbed in the back by their subordinates. Among the top mercenaries I know, there are many who robbed their subordinates and ended up in the bowels of the Orcs. Right now it may be sweet, but in a crisis, sweet things become poison.”
Talman used his experience to agree with the lord.
“That’s right… For those who betrayed their subordinates blinded by momentary gains, the inside of the orc’s intestines is perfect.”
The lord’s expression seemed to be firmly determined.
The knights and wizards of the Becker estate who were present at the meal simply watched the lord quietly while drinking wine.

“What’s up?”
“What’s the job?”
“When did you cut your hair? People who don’t know me will think I’m a newly joined mercenary, not the lord of this place.”
A woman’s eyes and senses were always surprisingly sensitive.
I jumped straight into the other world from the training center cafeteria.
Of course, the hair has to be short.
Arin did not miss that point.
I collapsed in front of dung soup, which I ate a lot in the army before returning.
I couldn’t even dare to compare it to the miso soup my mother cooked.
At least basic vegetables like potatoes and onions were missing.
It was just soaked and pulled right out.
It was clear that the top line even touched the distribution cost.
More than 10,000 people ate there every day.
The cost of materials made on a large scale was lowered and the quality was improved.
It was not the fault of the cooks making jjambab.
There was a problem with the supply of materials.
It was a mess in the past and now.
In the past news that I know, there were soldiers who were taken to the hospital after eating frozen chicken that was long past its expiration date.
Irregular products that should not be distributed in pork were delivered with regular certification.
The rampant corruption rooted in the Korean military was serious.
They were the ones who bought ordinary USBs worth tens of thousands of won for 1,000,000 won.
Many of the canteens at the training center were from Korean War veterans.
More than 10 trillion won was invested in electricity costs instead of labor costs a year, but they shared a huge amount among themselves.
The situation has only gotten worse with the arrival of the current government.
Unlike the previous administration, which was strict, bribery was accepted again.
It wasn’t a fuss as if he was trying to compensate for the days when he starved while noticing.
It has become the Tang Dynasty army where fish finders are installed on the latest warships.
Indeed, the evils were like moss spreading silently in a shady place.
It seems to disappear at some point, but when it gets dark again, it’s like a seed of a devil that reproduces as if it never happened.
“I am training.”
“Training?”
“I am getting my mind back. It’s not strange at all when a crisis comes to the territory. As the lord, I am preparing for that time first.”
“…You are amazing, too.”
Arin showed sincere respect.
Arin couldn’t even imagine.
That I am now a trainee, worse than a military dog on Earth.
Arin leaned her head naturally.
Her fragrant body odor seemed to calm my mind.
I looked at the manor through the window.
The highest lord’s office in the castle.
Summer has come to this place, which is on the same latitude as Korea.
Whenever I had free time, I came here to spend time in order to meet the time.
The heat in July was also at its peak here.
But I couldn’t feel the heat at all.
When a 7th circle wizard and a mana stone meet, magic unfolds.
As on any spring day, the humidity and temperature naturally became pleasant.
He enjoyed all the luxuries that a wealthy lord could enjoy.
To be honest, I didn’t want to go back to Earth.
There was no air conditioning in the new barracks.
Sleeping with strangers you have to face right away from tonight.
The fan on the ceiling couldn’t cool it down.
I can solve it with my own strength, but other trainees have to endure it day by day.
The smell of sweat, the sound of breathing, the sound of snoring and grinding of teeth, and the next day and the day after that.
Just imagining it, 4 weeks felt like hell.
If time passed independently, I wanted to stay and spend it here.
“Don’t worry. Becker, do as you like. God and I will help.”
Arin gave me words that gave me strength like a whisper.
He gently stroked her hair.
Arin always said things he liked.
“???”
Then I saw a cloud of dust rising in the distance.
The dust cloud that started outside the outer castle was getting closer.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
And the emergency bell rings.
The guards sensed a military danger and rang the bell.
“Are you enemies?”
Surprised Arin asked.
“well.”
It wasn’t a serious vibe.
The dust cloud means that someone is coming on horseback.
Still, it was necessary to prepare the mind.
In the meantime, the territory was being maintained so peacefully that the gods could have brought trials.
***
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The urgent sound of bells on the walls was repeated several times.
desperately.
In a hurry, the soldiers lined up on the wall and took a fighting stance.
Swoop.
The knight driving the horse in the lead raised his right hand and gave the order to stop.
Hee hee hee.
About 20 horses stopped all at once.
wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
The evening wind blew and blew it like dust.
“It’s quite the way. Hehe.”
The knight laughed as he looked up at the soldiers who had finished preparing for battle on the top of the castle wall.
Although repairs were made, the walls that were already very old did not even come into sight.
Countess’ estate that was once thoroughly abandoned.
A bastard occupied and sat down and enjoyed the role of lord.
“Baron. What would you like to do?”
“What should I do? I convey the will of my lord.”
“number of people!”
A knight with the title of baron who obeyed his lord’s wishes.
poke prick.
With a flag in front, they slowly approached the wall.
Jizzing.
Archers aimed their arrows at the top of the wall.
For knights wearing magic armor, it was an unbelievable feat, but the momentum was worth watching.
“Stop!”
At that time, Kars, the knight of Becker Manor, appeared on the wall.
Upon hearing the report that the enemy had appeared, they ran to investigate the situation.
A voice filled with magic rang out.
The intruders who came close to the base of the walls stopped.
“This is a sacred territory ruled by Count Becker Jean. In the name of Kars, a faithful knight of the territory, I ask you about your identities.”
Kars asked those who approached the castle without fear.
“Don’t you know this flag!”
The baron in the lead shouted with magic and raised the flag high.
“!!!”
Kars, who checked the flag, was startled.
The flag of the territory that I didn’t want to face so much.
The knight pushed the flag forward so that it could be spread out.
And…
“In honor of the name of the Marquis of Aradon de Junen, who has been granted the warm care and glory of the gods, his faithful knight, Baron Russell de Fadoon, asks to see your master!”
