Episode 738 Oh, My True Brother (3)
Having read Earl Hobert (?), King Glaman was delighted to see the next visitor.
“Sir Klein.”
“I apologize for visiting your Majesty without even asking for an audience.”
“Reap an example. Isn’t it between Jim and respect?”
Looking at Clein and even patting him on the shoulder affectionately is completely different from dealing with Count Hobert.
Normally, he would have been embarrassed to say that he was over-praised, but he did not respond.
He just looked at King Gleiman once, then lowered his head and continued talking in silence.
“I’m sorry. Klein, Commander of the 1st Royal Knights of the Kingdom of Greyman. I report to His Majesty that I have become a Master.”
The king’s eyes widened as he looked at Klein rather seriously.
“Is that really it!”
In the kingdom, the birth of a master is an event that can be called red fortune.
In the future, it will be able to bring an advantage in military power and also show off its strength against neighboring countries, so it will be easier to bring an advantage in the diplomatic area.
Even if it wasn’t, it was the kingdom of Gleiman, which had wizards from the 6th circle, so the birth of this master would raise the kingdom’s rank.
Earl Hobert’s expression wrinkled as he listened to Klein’s report together.
‘Sword master. The knights can’t stand it.’
A master called the one-man army.
No matter how much military power he gained through his position as a Margrave, he couldn’t fight against the Royal Knights Commander who had risen to Master.
The king, unable to hide his joy on his face, jumped up from his seat.
“Congratulations! Congratulations!”
“…I’m sorry.”
King Gleiman belatedly sensed something strange when he saw Klein, who stopped short of bowing.
It’s a state that I didn’t want so much.
There was no way he, and no one else, would not be delighted.
The king cleared his throat and saved face.
“Even though you say that, you don’t look happy. Is something going on?”
“…yes. I have something to tell you.”
firm expression.
Anyone who sees it will know that it is a military commander who has fought a war.
Seeing that he faces himself even though he knows it’s rude, it doesn’t seem like a normal thing.
King Gleiman looked around for a moment and then gestured towards Earl Hobert.
“The Count, please step back.”
Earl Hobert, who had been listening involuntarily, salivated at the King’s banquet order.
“…yes. I’ll just step back.”
“I hope you don’t forget Jim’s advice.”
“…”
Earl Hobert bowed and left the lobby.
Klein tilted his head for a moment at the unusual air current flowing between the two, but that was not the point now.
“Okay, stop talking. What has confused you so much?”
Klein, who was a little worried about the king’s question, opened his mouth.
“…surely I have reached the level of a master. It must have been thanks to a few days of diligence after gaining enlightenment.”
“I know. Thanks to the consideration of the Philia corps commander, I was able to inform those around Daejeon in advance. I’ll say thank you later.”
“yes.”
“But what’s wrong with that?”
If you’ve reached Master, there’s no way there’s a problem.
Or rather, there would be a lot of happiness waiting in the future, so there would be nothing left but to scream of joy.
However, Klein’s expression did not look good.
It was clear something was up.
just as expected.
“There is a problem.”
Klein asserted.
As King Gleiman looked at him, as if telling him to speak quickly, Klein continued.
“I did not achieve this stage entirely on my own. It was thanks to help from an unexpected place that I was able to gain enlightenment.”
“Have you got help?”
“yes.”
“Who the hell did you get help from? Since your level is not shallow, there’s no way you’ve sought help from the knights…”
After saying that, someone passed by in King Gleiman’s mind.
Hopefully not.
How can a person make a sword master without making magic tools alone?
Klein shook his head as he looked at the king who disappeared after a flash in his eyes for an instant.
“It is according to Your Majesty’s thoughts. I reached the Master with the help of the King.”
“Huh!”
King Gleiman slumped on his throne in a state of astonishment.
It is a law to know that a person is a degree.
He made a justification for purging the electorate nobles who settled in the Kingdom of Gleiman, and on the contrary, made the position of the royalist nobles firm.
Is that all?
He fortified the castle by making magical tools for defense against magic, and now made Klein a sword master and had a direct impact on military power, so there was virtually no one in the kingdom who could match his feat.
That meant that he was no longer an object to be served not only as the monarch of an alliance country, but as a benefactor of the kingdom.
King Gleiman, who finally grasped the situation, smiled dejectedly.
“haha. Did everything play in his hands from the beginning?”
“…hard to believe, but it is. I heard that Halfman, the only master at the top of the continent, also felt the power of the Duke and voluntarily went under. It would be more difficult to see that there was no calculation under it because it was done by such a person.”
Of course, Ray didn’t mean to.
It was just that Klein took care of what he said and became the master at will.
However, the two, who had no way to know the whole story of the incident, did not even think that it would be like that.
Upon hearing the story, King Gleiman was horrified.
“A position that gives enlightenment with a single word… How many people like that do you think there are in this world?”
“Your Majesty, I don’t know what to say, but the master’s level is not a height that can be reached just by knowing the sword. I’m sure you won’t find a person like him anywhere on the continent.”
Clein did not recognize himself even though he committed disrespect by exalting another person in front of the king.
It was the same with the king.
To that extent, the two were concentrating on one person.
King Gleiman, who almost gulped down wine as if his throat was burning, spoke with strength.
“No, it went well. If you build a friendship with that kind of person, it’s never a bad thing for the kingdom.”
“But the damage will be enormous. You wouldn’t have made me a Master simply to show off your abilities.”
“…I’ll have to put up with that. Shouldn’t we be relieved that we have formed an alliance with a principality led by such a person now?”
“That’s…”
I have to admit.
To be honest, he was also relieved.
The king said a little worriedly.
“I am still worried. I wonder what the king will ask for.”
The two looked across the terrace.
There, just in time, there was a slay or princess who was passing through among the children of nobles.
No matter who comes first.
It was a moment when the eyes of the two were young.
* * *
“Etch!”
Ray let out a cool sneeze and sniffed.
“Is it because the weather is getting cold these days? It’s getting chilly.”
So-young was stunned when he, who was supposed to be fine even after being hit with the ice barrier attack magic, brushed his shoulders gently.
“Do you feel the cold too?”
“Do you know that I am not human? I definitely feel it.”
“oh my god.”
Even ogre leather, which would be second to none in terms of toughness, could not compare to Ray.
There was no scene more miraculous than this, as the owner of the miracle, who was throwing the swords of the bandits with his bare body, was pulling a blanket saying that it was cold.
The elf sitting right next to Ray laughed haha.
“Elves, a race of nature, also get cold sometimes. My brother is probably like that.”
Cassius, deeply moved by Ray, already recognized him as a brother.
Unlike the others, the eyes that looked at him contained affection, so Zeke used to look at him with burning eyes.
“My lord is not the kind of person who would succumb to the cold.”
“Mmm.”
At those words, Soyoung let out a drool.
It is particularly impressive that it is already covered in a blanket so that it is difficult to tell whether it is a bear or a human.
at that time.
Cassius’ ears, which had been laughing haphazardly, pricked up and moved.
“Anyway…”
Zeke nodded with his arms crossed with a calm face.
“Looks like a bandit.”
“I heard that there is a mountain range nearby, but I never thought I would be working on a secluded mountain road like this.”
He said it as if he was surprised, but there was no emotion in his tone.
Instead of stopping the reins, Soyoung tried to turn the road.
“Aren’t you going to save me?”
“Our purpose is to arrive in Celia as soon as possible. Nothing but that.”
“Hmm. They are more heartless than you think.”
Cassius also had no complaints.
After all, all lives are equal.
I didn’t want to interfere with the human beings who would have known if they had touched the elves.
The moment the carriage was about to pass through the forest.
Ray, who got up from the blanket abruptly, gave the order.
“Soyoung, turn the wagon.”
“yes?”
come now?
It was already too late to turn the wagon like this.
If you wanted to turn it, you could turn it, but to do that, you had no choice but to take a long turn around the road and make a gentle turn.
Soyoung said, ‘Doesn’t that sound a bit overdone?’ when I tried to say
At one point, Ray, who was sitting with his butt on the coachman’s seat, snatched the reins and began to ride.
“Tsk tsk tsk.”
As the reins were moved back and forth while clicking their tongues, the breathless horses led the wagon while trudging.
Then, strangely, the wagon turns around briefly and makes a U-turn!
Ray, who was about to lean to one side, regained his balance by simply twisting his body lightly, and started playing with his hands again.
“Hey! Let’s go!”
Hee hee hee-!
Would it be like this if you became one with the horse?
Soyeong was fascinated and enjoyed the spirited training.
Now, without sitting in the driver’s seat, driving the carriage with one hip straddling the lead horse with momentum, isn’t it strange to drive like this unless you’re a centaur?
Without a bird to follow.
Eventually, the wagon moved closer and closer to where the sound of the weapon’s friction came from.
Chaeeng-!
Kaaaang-!
In a forest with thick vegetation.
There, knights who had squeezed into a fairly narrow place were fighting while protecting one person.
