Chapter 161 Two-Way Traffic (4)
The Great Battle of Right Demons.
Those days when blood and slaughter were rampant every day.
Baek Joong-hyeok, who slaughtered all the adherents of the rightist faction that surged in like waves, saw a buffalo drenched in blood.
“… Whoop whoop.”
The light horse exhaled with difficulty.
The sound of his breathing was not stable, probably because of something wrong with his lungs, and things that he couldn’t tell whether it was his own blood or the enemy’s blood continued to flow from his face.
The buffalo wiped the blood with his sleeve.
His body, which had lost its strength, kept staggering, but he drove his sword into the corpses of the members of the political party one by one with his eyes alive like an animal.
“Ouch!”
some of them.
There were survivors.
It was only after completely blocking any possible variables that Gwangma got down on one knee and showed a troubled face.
“Are you okay?”
“… it’s okay.”
The light horse straightened its posture.
Baek Joong-hyeok only asked about his physical condition, but Kwang-ma tried to look as undisturbed as possible.
Pain ran through my whole body.
Even though he is a wild horse with superhuman recovery ability, he had to grit his teeth in order to hold on to the spirit that was going away at any time.
Indeed.
I felt sorry.
The child who had nothing could have lived a more normal life if he hadn’t met him.
Baek Joong-hyeok said.
“The life of a soldier cannot be peaceful until the day he dies. You can exist as a human being on the borderline of death only if you constantly test yourself and struggle to live. Do you not regret your choice to follow me?”
“I have no regrets.”
“Following the yoke of fate, we set out to conquer Murim. If no one rises to the top, there will be no end to the tricks and tricks that threaten each other’s lives. But not you. If you say you will return to your daily life even now, I will prepare everything for you. I will erase enough gold and silver treasures to live on for the rest of my life, a nest to make you comfortable, and the past so that no one can touch you.”
I saw a light horse.
People say he is crazy, but in Baek Joong-hyeok’s eyes, it still overlaps with the day we first met.
The light horse at that time.
There were no options.
Following Baek Joong-hyeok was all he did, and as he struggled every day, he was called a mad horse before he knew it.
The madman shook his head.
“Like your lord said, I may not have any obligations. However, the cause of the Great War and the interests involved in the process are not at all important to me. in the pit of despair. You were the only hope that reached out to me. That’s all. I only do it because it is what my lord wants, and I will risk my life to fight those who threaten my lord.”
smiled brightly.
The blood-stained teeth showed the current of the mad horse.
“Don’t abandon me. Just the fact that you believe in me makes me want to stay by your side for the rest of my life.”
at that time.
Baek Joong-hyeok thought.
people who believe in themselves.
Just as they showed blind faith towards him, he would show a corresponding faith.
He didn’t care about the possibility that there might be betrayal at the end.
Because the present is important.
In the life of an unmanned man who did not know when he would die, Baek Joong-hyeok was faithful to what he saw and felt.
That was it.
Baek Joong-hyeok.
No Roman Dmitry.
Because he remembers his past life, he did not ignore the sincerity of those who believed in him.

Hans returned to his quarters.
small space.
It was a place where one person could barely live.
In fact, Dmitri and his son had said countless times that they would give Hans more space, but Hans never said he needed it.
It may be a space that seems narrow and shabby to others.
However, the place where he had been living since he first entered the Dmitry family made Hans mentally peaceful.
dump.
Sat on the floor.
As I looked around the room without a single bed, I could see traces of Roman Dmitri all over the place.
A broom lying obliquely against the wall.
Since Roman often walks in the morning, Hans got up earlier and swept the trail with a broom.
It’s not who ordered it.
Even if there were days when Roman skipped a walk due to other work, he always kept the trail neatly organized in case of an unexpected situation.
And when I came back to the dorm, I packed the things in the storage closet next to the broom.
A towel if Roman was sweating a lot, and items related to him if he wanted to take a shower. Things completely irrelevant to me filled the closet.
A blanket was laid on the floor.
My body didn’t accept the soft bed, and there was a calendar with Roman’s schedule on the bedside.
‘Tomorrow is the day of the regular meeting.’
Roman’s schedule.
recorded everything.
On the day of the meeting, I organized the materials and packed supplies, thinking that the office might have run out of ink and paper.
And I checked the recent status of the people attending the meeting to see if there were any changes.
It’s the details that Roman wouldn’t be able to notice if things didn’t change, but Hans tried to manage everything so that Roman didn’t feel uncomfortable in the slightest.

The gaze stopped.
showed a grin.
It was an old toy.
In his childhood, Roman once gave Hans his most cherished toy as a gift to Hans for taking care of him every day.
You probably won’t remember.
The sons of nobles had many toys, and this was just one of them.
but.
Hans never forgot that moment.
“… young master.”
Dmitry’s sore finger.
Roman’s childhood was heartbreaking.
Baron Romero is not a person with a strong desire for power, but when he was a commoner, he tried day and night to overcome the limits of his social status.
I didn’t have time to take care of my only son.
Going back and forth between iron mines and blacksmiths was repeated every day, and Rihanna spent a hectic day taking care of Baron Romero.
Roman naturally fell out of interest.
They said they were doing their best, but at the age of needing attention, Roman had no choice but to learn how to live alone.

Baron Romero gave many gifts for his son he hadn’t been able to take care of, but at that time Roman Dmitri was crooked.
power and money. It became the basis for the departure.
A child who lived on the border between commoners and nobles drank and raised his voice to express his presence in order to fill a hole in his heart.
Hans knew that.
Since she was in a position to raise her son, she took care of Roman no matter how stupid he acted.
Even if people criticize Roman.
Hans could never forget Roman, who smiled as he handed him a toy.
“… Whoops.”
drip drip
Tears flowed.
Crying emotions came up.
he is a servant
Ordinary aristocrats looked down on servants, so they thought they were really happy just for Roman to remember their hard work.
It was too much treatment.
When I listened to the stories of servants from other families, there were many cases where even the slightest mistake would light up their eyes instead of recognizing them like Roman Dmitri.
however.
Roman told the truth today.
He mentioned the fact that he is not the one who only gives, but the one who can get back as much as he gives.
“Heh heh heh.”
The tears didn’t stop.

It’s a fact that everyone knows, and it’s a reality that everyone can’t deny.
such an existence.
Roman treated people to people.
Hans couldn’t stop crying at the fact that there would be a day when he could get back the feelings he had blindly given out because they couldn’t be returned.

emotions contained within it.
The fact that Roman Dmitri recognized his sincerity made Hans burst out with the emotions he had been enduring.
It wasn’t sad at all.
I’m not really sad, but I couldn’t hold back my tears.
Wept bitterly.
A servant who would normally stop by and hold his breath.

until late that night.
Hans couldn’t sleep.
And by order of Roman Dmitri, no one disturbed Hans’ long night.

Birthday party incident.
Rumors spread.
Although unintentional, the incident of the day proved again how much Roman Dmitri cares about people.
Phoenix Magic Tower.
The leaders gathered for the meeting mentioned the birthday party incident.
“… I really don’t know how to describe this. When I first set foot in Dmitri, I was very dissatisfied with the behavior of the Master of the Magic Tower. Why did he come to such a remote territory to make money? No matter how much the status of the Phoenix Magic Tower has fallen, it is not this much. However, looking at the recent events, I feel keenly that my discernment was lacking.”
It was Knox.
In the eyes looking at him, he expressed his honest feelings.
“Roman Dmitry. Our new lord has done a lot for the Phoenix Mage Tower. They took care of the migration process carefully, allocated a large budget, and prepared a site for the mage tower for the future. We haven’t done anything for our lord yet. So snobbishly, I thought maybe it was an investment for something to be paid back in the future. Wasn’t the kingdom of the Franks the same? They acted as if they would drain us of our liver and gallbladder, but as soon as the Lord of the Tower went missing, they treated us as worthless trash that only sucked money.”
negative view.
It comes from the pain of the past.
A man in his 50s who thought that all goodwill had a purpose, heard the incident at the birthday party and felt hit over the head.
“Roman Dmitry is different. The eldest son of an aristocratic family could not benefit from a servant. Even though it’s cruel, that’s the reality, but the lord threw a grand party for Hans just because he was his own person. Seriously or not, it doesn’t matter. At least that he is a person who works hard for his people. That alone makes us worthy of our lord.”
last 3 years.
The Phoenix Magic Tower festered from within.
The magic tower owner was missing, Felix was lacking as an agent, and Phoenix’s future was hopeless.
everything has changed
Knox hadn’t been this happy since arriving at Dmitri.
“Lord of the Magic Tower. I am really sorry for all this time.”
In the meantime.
Knox called Felix by name.
He gave me a respectful title, but I didn’t call him Master of the Magic Tower.
“The Master of the Magic Tower was right. The Magic Tower Lord guided the crumbling Phoenix Magic Tower to the right path, and we eventually found the way forward. From now on, I will completely follow the Lord of the Magic Tower. I want to become a person who is trusted by the Lord of the Magic Tower and the Lord in the future. so. Please forget the mistakes of the past and guide me and other mages well in the future.”
He bowed his head.
Nox is the center of wizards.
The oath of allegiance he uttered meant that the Phoenix Magic Tower would come completely under Felix’s control.
Felix laughed.
Knox’s actions.
I could fully understand.
Knowing that he also thought of Phoenix, Felix accepted his heart.
“Okay. We will live a different life here in Dmitri.”
that day.
The Phoenix Magic Towers united as one.
People asserted that Phoenix had no future, but they had a center they didn’t have before.
Under the name Roman Dmitry.
That’s how the Phoenix Magic Tower began to regain its original form.

Time passed.
1 year later.
Finally, the moment Roman predicted had arrived.
