Chapter 94

The story of the Mage Tower’s misfortune and the story of Solord Xian, who solved it, spread widely throughout the territory.

The source of the rumor was no different. Soldiers who participated in the operation that day. And it was the wizards who were helped.

“Everything that was said to be a mess is a thing of the past. Confucius is nothing short of a small lord!”

In particular, the wizards were more enthusiastic about spreading rumors about Xian, thanks to Xian’s gesture to continue a good relationship in the future as well as the fact that he did not receive any compensation.

In fact, Xian’s ulterior motive was somewhere else, but they couldn’t figure out Xian’s ulterior motive.

The people’s reactions were varied.

“You believe that? He… … No, there are several tables he destroyed in our store.”

Those who were mainly victimized or who had seen the drafts of the past did not believe them well.

“What is good is not good. It’s fortunate if the next lord is a great person.”

“Zuzi, what does the lord’s goodness have to do with ignorant people like us? I hope you don’t raise taxes later.”

There were those who moderately believed, and there were those who did not believe and did not care at all before.

In fact, for most commoners, it didn’t matter what the lord was like.

However, no matter what their reaction, it is true that the story of Xian spread like wildfire within the territory.

There is not much entertainment, and even if there is, there is no entertainment that can be enjoyed as cheaply as gossip for the common people who do not have much time to enjoy because of their busy lives.

And the rumors reached the two people who returned to the territory after a long absence.

“I came back after hearing that something had happened to the Mage Tower, but it seems that it has already been resolved.”

“That’s right, headmistress.”

Young Ji-min, as well as his retainers, were Werfed Agrid and Yeomno, who had gone abroad without anyone knowing.

After moderately hearing the rumors going out on the streets, Werfed turned his steps toward the lord’s castle.

If the matter is resolved, there is no reason to go to Yeongju Castle right away.

The place they were heading to was the Thunder Demon Tower.

“omg! Hey, aren’t you the lord!”

“Guide the inspiration.”

The low-end wizards were frightened by the sudden appearance of the lord without a word, and guided him to Claude.

Due to the rebuilding of the Mage Tower, Claude hit Berfed among the piles of papers piled up like a mountain.

“Oh, you said you went out for work, when did you come back?”

“today. I heard there was a lot going on in the past.”

“They said they arrived today, so the information is fast.”

“Because I heard about Yeongji from outside.”

Claude opened the cupboard and brought out a bottle of wine and three glasses.

Berped accepted the cup naturally, and Yeomno, who was standing behind him, declined.

“I am okay.”

“Eh, why don’t we have a drink?”

“I don’t drink in front of the head of household.”

“It’s still hard.”

Seeing Yeomno’s refusal, Claude put one cup aside and bumped the cup only with Werfed.

After savoring a sip of alcohol, Berped continued.

“So, what happened? Don’t forget to talk about it.”

“Okay, okay. Let’s see… … Should I start with the story of how I was stabbed by Hector?”

“Was Hector the disciple of inspiration?”

“okay. After he knew it, he was the ganja of the Black Tower.”

Claude explained the events step by step and in chronological order.

Hector stabbed himself and was imprisoned, and before he knew it, the wind blown wizards revolted and occupied the tower.

It all happened inside the tower and was unknown to the outside world.

This became known and Xian intervened because of Hector’s indiscriminate raids on merchants coming to the estate to find some kind of goods.

“It’s a thing… … .”

Hearing that, Berped thought about what was in his arms.

A bronze statue found after breaking one of the branches of the Dark Magic Tower. It was a half-size statue that fit in the palm of your hand and had the upper torso broken.

It felt like something unusual, so I didn’t send it through the store and kept it separately.

‘A guy named Hector did something stupid.’

If this is what he was looking for, then raiding the merchants was pointless.

Since this item was not sent separately in the first place, there was no way it would come out no matter how much merchants robbed it.

“At that time, wasn’t your son leading the soldiers to the tower? Later I heard that Hector’s tongue was so smooth that there was absolutely no reason to intrude. However, Confucius did not return to the castle and besieged the tower. It was a very sharp decision.”

“so?”

“Even though they were surrounded, it seemed that they were just waiting, as if they were forced to enter. At that time, I barely got my energy up and called for help outside. Gongja immediately noticed that and stormed into the tower right away.”

Claude’s talk became more verbose and heated from this point on.

Most of his stories were of Xian’s saga against Hector, who had accepted the demon into his body.

Against Hector, who was inexperienced but had risen to the level of a master, how Xian, who was still only seen as a High Knight, defeated him.

The astonishment and excitement of seeing it in person.

As expected, he did not forget to say good things about Berped, such as being the son of the Sword King, and he was a sneering serpent.

“Anyway, it was a great performance! I really envy you for having such a wonderful successor. Because I lost my first disciple, Hector, like that.”

“How many more disciples were there?”

“I’m worried about who to make my successor. I’m still immature… … . Well anyway, that’s the point. I mean, following you, the next generation will be in peace with this territory. ha ha ha!”

Claude laughed out loud.

Hearing that laughter, Berped savored the last sip of wine left in his glass.

widely.

He put down his glass and stood up.

“I heard you. You have suffered a lot.”

“It was definitely hard, but thanks to your son, it was safe.”

“I’ll just go for today. It looks like you have a lot of work to do.”

“Yes, yes. Let’s go. Don’t forget to compliment your proud son.”

“okay.”

While receiving Claude’s send-off, Berped and Yeomno left the Mage Tower behind.

Heading back to the lord’s castle, he thought.

Capturing battle wizards who were proficient in horsemanship by serving as bait against them.

Upon discovering the thunder marks, he decided to dispatch troops and quickly surrounded the Mage Tower.

Claude said that the siege without rushing in front of him was ‘because there was not enough reason to invade’, but Verfed had a different idea.

‘Perhaps he was trying to wait for them to move too much to find this statue.’

He must have waited thinking that they would have no choice but to be more impatient. Like a beast crouching in the bush looking for prey.

Then, after learning of the situation in which the owner of the tower was arguing with each other, he immediately rushed in and recovered the tower.

In the process, he single-handedly subdued Hector, who was said to have stepped on the level of a master.

All of this was accomplished by a mere 17-year-old.

“You are competent.”

Other than that, there was nothing more to say.

“Heh heh heh! Didn’t I tell you Young Master is said to be a person who will become a great person. It is clear that the talent that had been suppressed while living with a guy like me has blossomed with the academy as an opportunity.”

“is it.”

Hearing Berped’s murmur, Yeomno smiled brightly and spoke.

He had this expression ever since Claude praised Xian.

His expression is like that of a grandfather when he hears compliments from others about his grandson who is so cute.

however.

“however… … Isn’t it something to think about being too competent?”

“yes… … ?”

At Berped’s next words, Yeomno’s smiling face stiffened.

“What is that… … .”

Yeomno stuttered and asked Berped, but there was no answer from him.

He just headed for the castle in a blunt manner as usual.

Suppressing the rising anxiety, Yeomno followed behind Berfed.

* * *

The lord is back!

The news made Yeongju Castle shake all day.

In the meantime, the servants who had been secretly playing around secretly moved quickly, and the knights lined up to greet the lord with well-polished armor and swords.

And Ran and Shan also came out to greet the landlord as guests.

“Meet the renowned Sword King. I am Ran Asla, the daughter of Gen Asla, the head of the Howe tribe in Jakarta.”

“This is Shan Asla, my son.”

Gen Asla.

The fact that the man’s children, who could be called rivals, were there, made Berped’s eyes light up.

Did he bring this too… … .

“Welcome to the estate. Stay at ease.”

“thank you.”

“thank you.”

They greeted Ran and Shan, and then dispersed the gathered knights and servants.

Only then did he call Xian.

“I see the head of the household.”

In the office at the top of the lord’s castle, where he had visited the owner after a long time, Berped and Xian were facing each other.

“I heard about it from the owner of the Mage Tower. Was there a lot of activity?”

“I just did what I had to do to protect the territory.”

“I would like to ask you one question before listening to the report, but I heard that you surrounded the Magic Tower and waited there.”

“yes. They seemed to have something they were looking for, so I thought there would definitely be a movement if I just waited.”

So was it. Berped nodded slightly and continued.

“By the way, why did you immediately break in after hearing the story of the tower owner? Even so, there’s no way they’ll kill the tower owner right away. It would have been better to look at the situation a little more.”

It was an overly cold question.

It was as if even the life of the tower owner could be mercilessly thrown away for the sake of the territory.

Xian thought.

It was going to break in anyway, so it was to go in advance and sell silver to the tower owner.

However, the answer that came out of his mouth was completely different from what he thought.

“It is because I thought that the existence of the tower owner was necessary for the territory. If something goes wrong with him or if he has any aftereffects, the reconstruction of the tower will be delayed, and that would not be good for the territory.”

“Hmm… … .”

Berped looked at the draft with eyes that seemed to be grading. However, Xian, who had his head down, couldn’t see his eyes.

At that time, something came into Berped’s eyes.

The nape of the back of Xian’s collar. There, something like a burn scar was glimpsed.

Berped recalled what happened five years ago.

Five years ago, when this kid was still 12 years old.

He had only seen Yeomno drunk in front of him once.

-My lord… … . Young Master’s work has become a pity. You left a scar on your shoulder?

-That’s nothing. anyway why are you like that It’s the first time I’ve seen you drunk like that.

Then Yeomno spoke. The little boy who heard about his son asked for the same burn marks on his own body.

And he said he couldn’t break the child’s stubbornness and made scars.

-With my own hands… … I burned the child’s shoulder with my flame. Thanks to that, the child has a fever and can’t even get out of bed.

-is it?

It was an incomprehensible thing for Berped.

Why are you so worried about that one scar?

Rather, isn’t it admirable that he understood and carried out his intention of wanting his son’s shadow?

―It’s not that your life is in danger, and you’ll wake up after getting sick for a while.

-I mean… … . I’m not sure either. just… … I feel like drinking some.

―If you have time to indulge in sentimentality like that, it would be better to properly take care of the child you are worried about. Before the shadow he had worked so hard to grow was destroyed.

-That too… … okay. before it breaks… … .

Yeomno, who had been bowing his head at those words, slowly raised his head. Whatever he was thinking, the delusion that filled his eyes seemed to have cleared up a little.

Berped, who wasn’t particularly interested, left after those words.

I heard that Yeomno went back to the mansion for the last time with the cup he was holding at that time.

It was just such an happening.

It’s a nothing happening without any sense of urgency, tension, or emotion.

Why do I remember what happened then?

Xian, still with his head down, finished his report.

“Through interrogation, we found out which branch of the Dark Magic Tower Hector originally belonged to.”

“Jibura… … . Not bad. I will send someone to subdue you and come back.”

“I mean?”

Xian’s eyes widened slightly. I was thinking about how to tell Gazoo that I’m going, but to tell her first.

“Because of where I was away for two months, work was delayed. I have to stay at the manor for the time being.”

“okay. All right.”

“And take the flames too.”

“Do you mean anger? I wouldn’t have been able to get over my travel addiction yet… … .”

“Then ask yourself and decide. If you say you want to go, take me, if you say no, let me stay.”

“Ah, yes. All right.”

If you ask, they’ll almost 100% say they’ll go together.

After that, after finishing the report for a while, Xian came out of the lord’s office.

And he went to Yeomno and delivered the words of the Lord.

“Of course we should go together.”

Sure enough, he accepted without hesitation.

“It hasn’t been long since you came back, so are you going out again?”

“Heh heh, this old man is nothing like this yet. It’s a long-awaited opportunity to go on a trip with the young master, and I can’t miss it.”

That’s how I formed a temporary subjugation party to wipe out the mage tower with anger.

Select the number of people, measure the distance, make a plan, and take care of funds and supplies.

I’ve been preparing for a few days.

“Confucius. I’ll see you again soon.”

Claude came.

Apparently, he had heard from Hector that he was going to wipe out the branch of the Dark Magic Tower.

“What are you doing?”

“It’s nothing else, but I have one suggestion. It’s the first time we’ve invaded their stronghold, so wouldn’t it be better if we had a lot of power?”

“That is true, but… … . How many people are you talking about taking from the Mage Tower? If you are a wizard, you have it in your family.”

“no no. nope Actually, I heard that a good helper is on his way here at the same time.”

“aid? Are you a blind man?”

“That’s how it is.”

Who are you talking about, the Chun Do-maeng who is coming here? Could it be that Allen is on a trip?

Claude spoke proudly while looking at the questionable eyes.

“I heard that the leader of the Holy Knights of the Order of Purification is coming with his sister.”

Xian blinked.

The leader of the Holy Knights of the Purification Church. I had never seen her, but I knew her name well.

Five years ago, at the age of 24, he was the youngest person to reach the level of Master.

Holy Sword Master Pamela Drake.

Why would such a person suddenly come here?
