The Legend of Return
Chapter 512. Guardian Duke (2)
‘Imperial Guard Duke! author?’
Everyone present, including the Marquis Kairu, was startled.
Although the royal family of the now collapsed Croyan Empire, the title of guardian duke was never light.
In the event of an emergency for the imperial family, it was a powerful position in which he could exercise full authority comparable to that of the emperor under the name of the guardian duke.
The guardian duke was able to investigate and deal with everyone except the emperor.
Of course, not only the royal family such as the empress, crown prince, and princess were included in the investigation, but also high-ranking aristocrats.
It can also exercise unrestricted authority in the financial and military sectors.
It is safe to say that he was the second emperor.
Of course, Princess Arin appointed Becker, who was young and whose identity was unknown, to that important position.
The Marquis of Kairu and the knights were confused.
Since he accepted the princess as his lord, he had to follow the orders of the guardian duke appointed by her.
But it was not easy for him to bow his head.
“I am well aware of your concerns. However, the Guardian Duke of Becker here is an Elementalist.”
‘No matter how much he is a Spiritualist…’
It was difficult to move the hearts of the knights who were obsessed with conventional wisdom.
In order to fulfill the position of a guardian duke, it had to be confirmed that he had the ability to risk his life to follow.
Only then could she accept and follow him as her guardian duke without any hesitation.
“You can summon all four intermediate level spirits.”
“!!!”
It was only then that the knights were surprised by Arin’s explanation with everyone in conflict in mind.
Few of the elemental spirits received that much blessing.
Of course, the Marquis Castle also had a Spirit Consul.
However, he was only an intermediate fire elementalist.
The treatment was more than aristocratic level.
In such a situation, the person who was appointed as the guardian duke was said to be a mid-level four corps spiritist.
The knights looked at the guardian duke with puzzled and surprised eyes.
“In addition, it is the continent’s only human guaranteed credit that deals with elves as well as dwarves.”
“ah!”
“That …..”
The elves and dwarves disappeared with the fall of the empire.
If he could trade with them now, he would trust them more.
In fact, elves and dwarves did not trust humans easily.
From the past, it was said that anyone who could do business with elves or dwarves should be trusted unconditionally.
“Isn’t that still not enough? With the ability of a guardian duke who wields power comparable to that of an emperor.”
Everyone was silent at Arin’s words with bones.
It was an uncomfortable situation for everyone to look at the double attitude that he said he would be loyal to but couldn’t get rid of doubts.
It was a place where Arin’s life skills, which are aware of such feelings, shined.
Although she was a young princess, she looked like royalty.
“Duke Becker is… a wizard.”
“???”
The knights tilt their heads once again at the word wizard.
“That’s also the 7th circle.”
“Huh!”
“7 7 circles!!!”
“Is the elemental wizard a wizard?”
“Such nonsense!”
Unsurprisingly, exclamations of astonishment erupted from all sides.
The expressions of the Marquis Kairu, his vassals, and the knights all fell into a state of panic.
Among the mid-level spiritists, there were quite a few knights, but wizards were rare.
A person with such abilities could not be called a human being.
Everyone looked closely at Duke Becker once again.
Those gazes were full of questions beyond respect.
The 7th circle mage itself was a moving power.
Even in the Mage Tower, those who were about the level of elders were 7th circle wizards.
The exclusive wizard of the kings was the 7th circle.
By the way, after being a mid-level elemental sage, the guardian duke of Becker is a high-circle wizard.
Everyone was asking with their eyes in their gaze toward Becker.
Are you really human!
Unlike everyone who was full of doubts, Duke Becker looked at Arin quietly.
“How about this? Are you still not good enough to become the guardian duke of the imperial family?”
Arin smiled confidently and asked again.
“Princess… Until I confirm…”
Sir Kairu gnashed his teeth and spat out a word.
It was an important issue.
If your skills are confirmed as the princess said…
‘I can do it properly!’
Marquis Kairu’s heart was beating like crazy for a different reason than before.
If only he could complete the revival of the Croyan Empire before returning to the arms of God, it would be a lifelong business.
As long as the empire lasts, the name of Marquis Cairu de Dvoru will be widely known throughout history.
Nothing was more important than honor to Marquis Kairu, who had no heirs.
As for the family, one of the nephews will be the heir.
However, there was only one Kairu name in the world.
The only thing that will remain after death is honor.
The Marquis of Kairu looked at the Becker Guardian Duke with a warm gaze.
***
Oh! hot!
People’s eyes were burning like fire.
I was beaten by Arin.
she is a princess
Somehow, the force was different.
It was something different from me, who was raised as a tutor for short-term, fast-acting tweezers.
Arin, who received a buff from a 8th circle 1st stroke wizard in regular training… was a fox more than I thought.
She knew more about me than I thought and was prepared.
I should have been a little suspicious when I stayed without thinking about leaving the territory with nothing to see.
In other words, all the plates were laid as she intended.
The pioneers of overpacked nitrogen packing technology were here too.
The continent’s only human creditor guaranteed by dwarves and elves.
When I heard those words, an exclamation of ‘Kyaa’ exploded in my heart.
The packaging was very good compared to the contents.
Of course, it was a statement based on some truth.
Packaging technology is added to things that are originally delicious and sell well.
By the way…..
The look in the eyes of Marquis Kairu asking for an ability check is different from before.
Here, humility is a virtue, and if we don’t prove our skills, Arin and I will become swindlers.
It’s a plate that has been laid, so it’s better to play properly.
From today, I will parachute in the status of a duke to protect the imperial family.
As expected, the emperor’s daughter is the best girlfriend.
If you put it in the district, you will sit in the group vice-president’s seat.
“It seems that magic and spirits are not fair… Let’s do this.”
He grabbed the sword that was worn around his waist with his right hand.
“knife?”
Surprised, Marquis Kairu asked again.
“A man is a sword.”
Even when I played games in my childhood, I always chose a knight, not a wizard or archer.
“…..”
An aristocratic aide standing next to the Marquis expressed displeasure at my remarks.
The level seemed different from the other knights.
There was quite a bit of overflowing magic power.
It seemed indifferent, but it spewed speculation toward me.
OK!
My older brother seemed to be itching to have an official fight with me.
“Can I check your skills?”
asked provocatively at him.
A knight exchanging glances with Marquis Kairu as if he had been waiting.
“I allow it.”
The Marquis nodded as a sign of approval.
Call me too!
It was a one-on-one game that took place like that.
Arin was not at all embarrassed and looked at me with eyes full of trust.
Yes, Arin trusts only me.
The Imperial Palace…..
I’ll buy it by scratching it with an unlimited human black card!
***
‘Becker…..’
I couldn’t help it.
Unlike Arin’s firm expression, his heart swirled violently.
He revealed the truth that Master had told him not to reveal without hesitation.
Otherwise, it was a situation where they could not attract the Marquis of Kairu.
The Marquis of Aradon was thorough and meticulous.
Becker and himself could not protect the peaceful and prosperous territory now.
There were quite a few wizards in the marquis family.
If they attack simultaneously, the current castle gate will collapse in an instant.
He wanted to avoid the ruin of the lord’s castle returning to the ruins of the past.
Becker could have lost his life too.
When a county or higher forces waged war, the size of the troops changed.
Now Becker Castle has gone beyond what it can handle.
Arin used the absolute ring he received from his teacher.
Now, rumors will spread all over the world.
The appearance of the last remaining bloodline of the Croyan Empire.
Enemies will flock from all sides to take hostages or catch them with their eyes on you to eliminate them.
Now it was impossible to back down and it was necessary to develop a real, real force.
At the forefront, Marquis Kairu was chosen.
He thought that if he was the Marquis of Kairu, who cared for the people of the territory and was trusted by the knights, he would be willing to raise his sword for the Croyan Empire.
And so did Becker.
It wasn’t a position he had given up because he wanted to use him absolutely.
If it wasn’t for the fight with the Marquis of Aradon, Arin could have lived quietly and forgotten next to Becker.
The fate of an empire that could not be fulfilled could have been cherished for the rest of his life.
The emperor, who was a father whom he did not even know his face anyway.
However, the whirlwind of fate drove unstoppable and revealed everything at once.
Now it was a die thrown for all to see.
Becker was stronger and dependable than anyone else Arin could trust.
Not too long ago, at the fort, Becker told himself that he was a 7th-circle mage.
I had been suspicious.
The powerful scent of mana that emanated from his body for a moment.
Arin also used magic to check Becker’s circle.
Surprisingly, he was a real 7th circle mage.
It was only then that I could understand his behavior, which I had thought was strange until now.
In the past, Becker carefully asked to show himself magic whenever he had time.
I didn’t ask about the magic formula at all.
I didn’t even know how he learned magic.
The enigmatic being was Becker.
I even thought that the dragon could be a polymorphed human.
It didn’t matter.
I liked Becker, who treated his ugly face as if it were nothing.
I even tried kissing for the first time in my life.
The cold, cold soul instantly heated up.
It wasn’t a waste even if I gave everything.
He treated himself as the only warm-hearted person among the people who ran away in fear just by looking at his family, who did not even know the face of his strict teacher.
Arin also threw a gambling card for him.
And the result is…..
Vice President!
The two men’s swords were drawn.
The knights’ duel was not at the level of a polite prank.
Seats were set up in the castle’s gymnasium.
Dozens of knights who had gathered suddenly became spectators, staring at the two men with swords.
Everyone watching the duel looked serious.
“I’ll give up the player.”
Becker relaxed and opened his mouth.
Viscount Darbel, a knight wearing a helmet, nodded without hesitation.
Wow!
The powerful magic power dwelling in the sword was dazzling.
“Tah!”
A knight who spurts off the floor and leaps forward with spirit.
In an instant, the distance between the two men narrowed.
As a knight who knows how to handle magical powers, he showed movements that were distinctly different from those of ordinary humans.
Arin had a lot of power in his hands without realizing it.
sweetheart.
A knight’s sword that cuts through the air without hesitation.
It quickly and accurately cut Becker’s body in an oblique line.
A blow that seems difficult to avoid.
Despite the development of such a situation, Becker still stood with his sword in his hand and did not come across.
It’s as if it doesn’t matter if you die right here.
‘Becker!’
Fearing that something might go wrong, Arin kept her mouth shut and called Becker to herself.
at that time!
A flash of light stretched from Becker’s hand.
A speed incomparable to that of a knight.
Kaaang!
Sparks flew.
Whirly ririric.
The sword Viscount Darbel was holding just now flew through the air.
“omg!”
Astonishment erupted from Viscount Darbel’s mouth.
“Don’t be ridiculous!”
“Mmmmm.”
Even the knights who were seriously watching the duel screamed.
Few people saw the attack scene properly.
A move beyond the knights’ excellent torso eyesight.
Missing the sword, Viscount Darbel looked down at his empty hand in a daze in embarrassment.
If it had been a real battlefield, he would have lost his life right away.
It was an incomparable, overwhelming force difference.
“Is there an article you want to check more?”
After Becker looked over the knights standing there like spectators, he finally stopped his gaze on Marquis Kairu.
“…..”
Marquis Kairu, who was completely shocked by the defeat of the best knight in the territory.
I couldn’t answer right away.
“Whoops.”
Becker laughs coldly enough to be cool.
At that moment…..
Papababat.
Four lights appeared in the air.
And the different sized lumps of light that began to clearly form in all directions.
Whirling, ririring.
A rough wind blew from the eastern sky of the large gymnasium.
Furrrrrrrr.
In the west, a sudden appearance of fire blazed roaring.
Quad de de de de de de de deuc.
The stone floor to the south of the gymnasium was violently shaken, and a being appeared through the floor.
So, so, so, so, so.
In the north, chunks of pure blue ice soared sharply, as if piercing the sky.
“That spirit!!!”
“The Four Great Spirits!”
The knights turned in all directions, frightened at the unbelievable sight they saw.
The Four Great Spirits suddenly appeared.
Judging from the aura they gave off, they were at least intermediate level spirits.
“Explode!”
At that moment, Becker’s hand was lifted above his head and stretched toward the sky.
Everyone’s eyes followed his fingertips to the sky.
A huge mass of mana light that was suddenly created high in the sky.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Light exploded.
Wajajangchajajajajajang.
Unable to overcome the shock wave spreading through the space, all the windows of the Marquis House were shattered and exploded.
“Keueun …..”
The knights and soldiers on the castle wall, whose ears were deafened by the earth-shaking rupture, shrank their bodies while covering their ears.
Truly a tremendous explosion of magical power.
Becker’s gaze, which had become calm, returned to Marquis Kairu.
I was asking if this was not enough.
“The Marquis of Cairu de Devoor… Greetings to the Guardian Duke of the Imperial Family.”
Marquis Kairu calmed his trembling heart and bowed his head deeply.
Towards the royal guardian duke of the Croyan Empire, not anyone else.
