I Am the Madman of This Family

Episode 54. Call me an archery genius (4)

Keter returned to Hakoz Village. There is something to check before returning home.

“Keter.”

On the way to the hall, a man blocked the way. Out of nowhere, he held out a small metal cube and stick.

“It doesn’t seem polite to go empty-handed, so I stayed in the village to give this.”

The man was one of the survivors of the Birang tribe.

“What is this?”

“It is a weapon and armor made with Birang’s metallurgy. It contains the essence of shape memory alloy technology. Please pass it on to Elder Leganon.”

“Don’t you know how to make shape memory alloy? I think that will help more.”

“sorry. We only have warriors in our group, so we know nothing about metallurgy.”

“okay. go.”

“yes.”

The man disappeared before my eyes.

Luke came over and poked his fingers through the metal stick and cube.

“Keter, did I hear you right? These are weapons and armor. How can something so small become a weapon or armor?”

“You can inject an aura.”

Keter infused the stick with an aura, and in the blink of an eye, the stick became a sword. The stick that was the size of a finger turned into a two-meter long sword.

It was too big for a human to use, but it was a longsword of the right size for a werewolf to use.

“Wow, what a surprise. how do i get this back? Are you doing that as an aura?”

“No, fold it by force.”

“By force… Are you folding?”

Since you can’t carry a two-meter long sword anyway, Keter demonstrated. Place the tip of the sword on the ground and slam the handle down firmly.

Keter’s arm grew sinewy. There was a clicking sound from the long sword, and the blade began to compress briefly.

Compressing up to the handle of the sword like that, the rest of the side part naturally rolled up and became the original stick shape.

As it is a weapon used by werewolves, it is difficult to compress it again without the brute strength of the werewolves. In other words, Keter’s physical strength was said to be at least equal to that of werewolves.

‘This technology was the technology of the Birang tribe.’

Keter has seen such weapons and armor in liqueurs.

This was a piece of equipment and portable armament that only officers in the Empire would use. Its foundation technology was the Birang tribe’s shape-memory alloy technology.

Since it was only produced in the Empire, no one could find out the secret of the technology, but it was so easy to find out the source of the technology.

It even came into my hands.

‘A crisis is an opportunity. After all, this is the truth.’

If only bows and arrows could be made with shape memory alloy technology, the uses were endless.

‘Old man Vulcanus must jump very fast.’

It is said that Dwarves would even risk their lives for new technology. Keter was curious about Vulcan’s reaction when he saw the shape memory alloy.

But it doesn’t make sense to just give it away like this.

The arms of the Birang tribe are a product of the past. The ‘portable armament’ of the empire, which has been improved with the addition of practicality, must be present to know the proper manufacturing method.

“One more reason to go back to liqueur.”

“Keter, what?”

“It’s fun. Are you too?”

“huh? hmm… … .”

Even after the battle was over, Luke couldn’t come to his senses.

Confusion has arisen over their own identity.

Who the hell am I to have this ability? It’s good to be free from the curse, but I’m in a comfortable worry about what I should do in the future.

Keter did not bother to interfere with Luke’s thoughts.

because I’m not interested

Keter arrived at the hall and knocked on the door.

“Chief-! open the door Unless you want to fall behind.”

No answer from inside.

Keter touched her forehead.

“I definitely started on a good note.”

Breaking the locked doorknob with brute force, Keter entered the hall.

“I know what’s inside. Come out in 3 seconds. If you make me find it, the funeral will be held today.”

“Hey, here you go. I hadn’t heard of it because I was looking for something.”

The village chief, who had been crouching under a table in the corner, jumped to his feet.

Keter put a shoulder strap on the village chief.

“How do I look now?”

After a fierce battle, Keter was sloppy.

The village chief nodded vigorously.

“If you say I didn’t know anything, I’ll pluck out your tongue. I understand?”

The village chief nodded vigorously once more.

No matter how old you are, if you have a lot to lose, you are afraid of death.

“The missing knight… What’s your name, Luke?”

“uh, ah… yes. We were here on a mission. The article’s name… … .”

Luke must have forgotten too, so he took out the mission note and checked it.

“Raynald. He belongs to the Holy Knights.”

“Is that a name you know? how did you handle it Just say that.”

“Hey, what do you mean? Sir Reynolds was safely sent to the Empire.”

“What is an empire, the kingdom of heaven?”

“No, why would we kill Sir Reynolds?”

“What do I know? It must have been intended to induce Catherine.”

“There is something wrong, Master Keter. Sir Reynolds wanted to leave. We just helped with that.”

The village chief began to explain the unfairness.

Reynolds said that the atmosphere inside the Holy Knights was blurred. We radiated negative energy, saying that there was no chance of victory and that we were all going to die.

It is said that he even confessed to the leader of the Holy Knights that he wanted to return to his hometown.

Elder Leganon said that he couldn’t just leave Reynald, who had a bad influence on the Knights, and that he only let him leave the family as he wished.

But I couldn’t send them home. If that fact spreads, everyone will say they’re going back to their hometown, and the morale of their allies will be shattered.

So I sent it to the Empire.

Of course, the whole family too.

“It is true that I worked in this town to lure Sir Catherine, but I never meant to hurt her.”

“Well said. Why did you call Catherine? Are you going to say that he has depression too?”

“Sir Catherine is a woman. You know what happens when a female knight is captured by the enemy. Elder Leganon said he couldn’t bear to see the young and talented Sir Catherine go through such a rough situation… … .”

“Why do you know so much after hearing it? When did the village chief of a corner village become so high in authority?”

“Elder Leganon is proud. Because he has a great cause, he doesn’t hide his feelings even from those below us.”

“You are faithful.”

Keter loosened his shoulder strap and looked into the village chief’s eyes.

The village chief immediately averted his eyes, but Keter did not follow.

“Chief. Do you have children?”

“… yes.”

“Elder Leganon is finished. why? It was because they hid the Birang people without their permission. I’m going to cover it up. What will happen to Elder Leganon, who hid the Seven Evils the Emperor was looking for with his eyes lit?”

“… … .”

“Don’t you want to see your grandson’s face? Should I send my children to the city? Are you going to let them rot in a rural village like this?”

“What more do you want to hear from me? I didn’t lie.”

“Remember. If someone asks you for a side, whose side will you take then?”

“… … !”

“And eat in moderation, like the soldiers. Should we co-exist?

“Win-Win… … .”

“Goes.”

Keter left the village chief and left the hall.

options were presented. the rest is up to him Noise in my ears because I made the wrong choice? You won’t have a choice then.

Outside the hall, Knight Haribo was waiting.

“Brother Keter. All the sinners were arrested and a chariot was prepared. Give me orders!”

Kether has no authority to give orders. However, Haribo treated Keter very politely, as if he were treating his superior.

“Did you say Haribo?”

“yep! He belongs to the 7th Squad of the Knights of the Star Order.”

“Are you trying to stand in line already?”

“yes! That’s right!”

“I’m from a lawless city, and I’ve only been in the family for two days. Even the people from my hometown call me an idiot?”

“I trust my own eyes, not the opinions of others!”

From noble mtl dot com

“Hey, you little bastard. Doesn’t that just mean gambling? I like it. Don’t remember that name.”

“thank you!”

Keter’s first mission, which started in a simple way, just the two of them. But the comeback was very tumultuous. After returning under the escort of the fortress soldiers.

* * *

The south gate of the Sephira family.

Since it was the place with the least threat of invasion, this place, where only a few soldiers resided, was crowded with people for the first time in a long time.

It was because of Keter and Luke who had returned with the soldiers of the fortress.

The presence of the knights of the Vident family, who were bound and loaded in five wagons, was great. The field supervisor freaked out and reported to his superior, and immediately the knights gathered at the south gate.

The knights who recognized the cross spear that symbolizes the Vident family were astonished.

“This spear is not a counterfeit. It must be a knight of the Vident family.”

“Captain. Hey, look here. Tea, Changryong. Among the prisoners is Zordyk, the Blue Dragon!”

“No way… Huh?!”

The face of the Changryong Zordic is very famous. It was because the title of Changryong was so great rather than the status of being the youngest son of the Vident family.

Haribo, the commander of the fortress soldiers, stepped forward and explained the situation.

“Brother Keter subdued them all together with Sir Luke. I saw it with my own two eyes.”

Strictly speaking, it was the situation after the battle was over, but the process was not important to Haribo. Anyway, it’s true that all the knights of the Vident family had fallen in front of Keter.

At the time, Haribo didn’t even ask Keter, ‘what happened?’ This was the behavior Keter gave Haribo high marks for.

“What happened? Why were there knights of the Vident family in Hakoz village, and how did Master Keter and Sir Luke subdue them?”

The general manager of the defense of the south gate brushed Hakoz.

Hakoz said to Keter in a witty manner.

“You’d better ask Master Keter about that. I was just following up.”

“Um… … !”

Only then did everyone’s attention turn to Keter, the protagonist of the incident.

They were eyes full of doubt and distrust.

Wasn’t the knight who accompanied Keter even called Luke a coward?

To think that an idiot and a coward captured not one, but seven, even more difficult than killing the knights of the Vident family.

It was something no one would believe.

“Brother Keter.”

“Title and name.”

“I am Haksen, the captain of the south gate defense, belonging to the Holy Knights.”

“Haksen, treat the Bydents, put them in prison.”

At Keter’s words, Haksen said with a puzzled expression.

“young master. These guys trespassed on Sephira’s territory. When torture and interrogation aren’t enough, treatment? The head of the household will not allow it.”

“Who said no torturing? I’ll do it, so make it healthy. Or is it that I don’t deserve it? Are they the ones I caught?”

“All decisions in Sephira belong to the Lord.”

“Tell me to decide. Until then, do as I say.”

“… I can only say that it was the Bocchan’s order. Please know that.”

“That’s it.”

Keter passed Haxen.

Then a familiar voice was heard.

“young master!”

It was the voice of butler Zach, who had come to meet him.

“I feel like I’ve come home a bit now.”

“Are you feeling well? Let’s go from the infirmary.”

“To me, the dining room is the infirmary. let’s go to the restaurant Old man, have you eaten?”

“Your whole body is covered in blood. Your clothes were all torn. But how can I be fine?”

“Can you believe I have to take off my clothes? Shall I take it off?”

“If you are going to a restaurant, go to the bathroom first. I’ll have to make sure you’re really okay there.”

“If you want to see it, look from this side.”

Keter put Luke in front as a shield.

Zach looked at Luke. Dirty, and even more so than Keter’s, was in rags, but there seemed to be no bloodstains or wounds.

But as a father, I could tell. Even if the body wasn’t hurt, the heart was hurt.

“You have suffered a lot.”

Zach patted Luke on the back because he couldn’t pat his grown child’s head in a place where there were many eyes.

Luke did not hide his tired face.

“father. I have something to tell you.”

“Yeah, don’t listen. But now… … .”

The role of a butler is more important than that of a father.

When Zach tried to take care of Keter first, Keter hated it.

“Since when do you say that you carried me on your back? I will buy and run around on my own, so please ask my friend first.”

“friend… … !”

Keter called Luke a friend, not a partner.

Then Zach couldn’t help it.

“let’s go.”

“Thank you, Keter.”

the two left

Keter stretched out cheerfully.

“Eat to a full stomach, and take a bath to sweat a bit. Did your family have a masseuse?”

That’s when I head straight to the restaurant.

There was a knight blocking Keter’s path. Silver armor that symbolizes the Galactic Knights.

He was an old knight with Keter.

“You made a big deal out of it.”

Galactic Division 4th squad leader, Gant.

Leganon’s henchman came to Keter.

Keter said with a sad face.

“I guess you were in a hurry? You appear in front of me without even noticing.”

“Keep your voice down. Elder Leganon is calling. You’d better follow me quietly.”

“hahahaha, haven’t you grasped the situation yet? Or did the report not go in properly? If you want to see me, tell me to come in person.”

“Oh? What are you saying to Elder Leganon right now? He is the elder of the family. Wouldn’t it be polite!”

Gant’s voice boomed. The servants passing by trembled.

Keter cleared his ears.

“I see that Leganon is deaf and always speaks loudly, but don’t worry, I can hear you well even when I speak softly. If you want to see me, come and see me. Since he is a great elder, he will meet you.”

Keter skipped past Gant, ignoring it.

Gant reached for Keter’s arm. With the will to take it by force.

turn up!

However, it was not Keter’s arm that was captured.

Gant’s arm was grabbed.

“All, you… … .”

Gant’s voice trembled as he grabbed his arm.

The knight who grabbed Gant’s arm spoke calmly.

“Sir Gant. Long time no see. Master Keter has some business to do, so can you excuse me first?”

“Hey, Knight Commander. of course.”

Galactic Division Commander.

Although the wrinkles on his gray hair are clear, which suggests his age, it was clear why he was still serving as the commander of the knights.

strong.

Regardless of age, the knight commander radiated a tremendous aura.

Keter, too, looked at the knight commander and said ‘Oh’.

“It’s a thing.”

“That’s too much praise, Master Keter. My name is Gasilius.”

Gasilius greets Keter with knightly manners.

Keter liked his attitude.

“This makes me feel like we can have a little conversation. Like who else would you want to have a conversation with if it started with threats? If you want a body-to-body conversation, you’re welcome.”

“Keugh… … .”

Gant, who hadn’t left yet, gnashed his teeth at Keter.

Gasilius once again spoke politely to Kether.

“young master. The Lord is looking for you. If possible, I would like you to come with me now.”

“impossible. I’m hungry and disgusted because of all this. After you eat some food and wash up, tell them I’m coming.”

Gant was convinced that Keter must be mad. Despite the request of the Galactic Knight Commander, to ignore the call of the head?

This was tantamount to ignoring the Sephira family as a whole.

But Gasilius bowed his head and said.

“I will tell the lord. so… … .”

Gasilius turned his gaze to Gant.

Gant, who received the gaze, trembled.

“Sir Gant. Tell Elder Leganon that you are asking for concessions.”

“… Yes, Captain.”

Gant gritted his teeth and glared at Keter. It was the best and only thing he could do.
