F-class adventurer of suspicious rumors
After that, I spent the day relaxing and relaxing. There was no further approach, probably because rumors had circulated that a driver had been sent by Bentinga in the morning. There was no article that would pull a wagon for an insignificant adventurer. He would do it if he gave an order, but it was an act that hurt the knight’s honor. cannot be forced Bentinga had already raised the stakes so high that everyone had to shake their hands.
Deliana did not return until the next day. In the end, Hyun-joon made up his mind to go to Bentinga. I woke up at dawn, ran through the courtyard, wielded my longsword, and tried to hone my swordsmanship once again. You have to go to the aristocratic mansion. It’s like sticking your head in the jaws of a tiger. There will be no armed conflict, but the only thing you can count on right now is the power of oneself. And it’s good for clearing the mind. He swung his sword freely and cut through his troubles. I have to go anyway, and I don’t know what will happen. It’s best to clear your mind now.
“You got up early.”
“Priest.”
Zilenai came out in a light outfit. Now that the sun is starting to rise, Hyeon-jun was also thinking of washing up and getting ready.
“If you don’t mind, would you like to spat for a while?”
Hyeon-joon pondered over Zilenai’s question before rejecting it.
“I think I need to wash up and eat breakfast. I can’t keep the article waiting.”
“Um, okay.”
Zilenai nodded and began to warm up. Hyeon-jun went to the well, washed himself, had another war-like breakfast, put on his gear, and took a chair in the corner of the courtyard.
“Don’t worry too much. It will work out.”
“okay.”
“Sister Deliana couldn’t have done nothing. I will definitely be in touch soon.”
“Oh, okay.”
“If there is any problem, I won’t stay in the temple, so don’t worry and run away.”
“Idelia.”
“yes?”
“I know you’re worried, but I’m really fine.”
“yes···.”
Edelia, who is sitting next to Hyeon-jun, is not calming down as if she is more worried. He keeps wiggling his hands and talking, but Hyun-joon, the person in charge, is anxious enough to worry about Lee Delia. Hyeonjun patted Idelia on the head and got up. I hear the sound of horses hooves. Idelia also heard the sound, so she jumped up following Hyeon-jun. A knight in full plate armor entered the entrance of the temple, and a priest who had been waiting quietly nearby greeted him.
“Welcome to Karios-sama’s temple.”
“yes. Hello priest. I’m here to see adventurer Jun.”
The priest nodded and gestured for Hyeon-jun. Hyeonjun walked in front of the knight. The knight with the visor up appeared to be in his mid-thirties, a stocky man with dark brown hair and a neat beard, as well as brown eyes.
“hello. I am the adventurer Jun.”
Hyeon-joon remembered Maria’s advice in the village by the river, bowed his head and greeted briefly. In a short moment, the knight’s eyes flashed, but Hyeon-jun passed by without seeing them.
“I am Anton, a knight from Bentinga. His Excellency invited Jun, so I’m here to serve you like this.”
The knight said the standard was extremely high. Idelia seemed relieved by that appearance, but Hyun-joon’s tension was rather high. I don’t know what the Marquis is thinking, but it’s not something you would treat an F-class adventurer. If you’re not careful, you can swallow it in one bite.
“Please speak comfortably. I am just an adventurer.”
“no. You are the guest of the Marquis, how could you do that?”
“I understand when you say so.”
It was said softly, but it is a word that tells us once again that there is no way out of it. It completely blocked the room for refusal itself. Do you know what will happen if the knight shows courtesy and politely invites you as a guest? Hyeon-joon was dizzy from excessive tension, but he didn’t show it at all and smiled.
“I can’t take away the knight’s time more than this.”
“yes. Come this way.”
“Brother!”
Hyeon-jun, who was about to leave the temple following the knight, was suddenly stopped by someone. Looking back, a priest from the Armory is running hurriedly. It is the priest who informed Hyeon-jun of the seriousness of the situation the day before. He came with a vambraces and a sword in his bosom.
“You forgot these.”
It is the armor and sword that Hyeon-jun borrowed and used. Originally, it could be a fetter, so I tried to refuse it. However, Hyeon-jun, who knew that not only this priest but also the temple had decided for Hyeon-jun, accepted them silently. The priest carefully put armor on Hyeon-jun’s arm and handed him a sword. Hyeonjun politely accepted the sword and hung it around his waist. My heart is touched by their kindness. I had no choice but to do it because of the goddess, but I can’t help but be impressed that she did it this way. Now, no one will be able to treat Hyeon-joon carelessly. It’s because I received Karios’ arms. It is very unusual, and Hyun-joon’s value soared at once.
The knight looked at the scene in silence, without changing a single expression. The priest deliberately timed it to show him this. Contrary to the calm expression on his face, all sorts of thoughts were running through his head. In my heart, I thought the Marquis’ decision was hasty, but the situation turned strangely.
Hyeon-jun waved lightly at the priests and Idelia and followed the knight out of the temple. Compared to the knight’s weapons, it’s not much, but the armor and sword are enough. This is because it is a symbol of being protected by the temple.
However, the moment I saw the carriage parked at the entrance of the temple, my spirit flashed. The elegant design of the black carriage is lavishly decorated with gold. On the door, a round shield, a spear, and a bear, which appear to be Bentinga’s patterns, are drawn to show off a sense of coercion. There, a well-dressed elderly gentleman is waiting with the door open, and four horses pulling a carriage. It is a luxurious carriage that is too unnatural to be on the border of the slums. It is as if a Rolls-Royce has squeezed into an alley in a poor neighborhood. Hyeon-jun tried to come to his senses, bowed his head in gratitude to the gentleman who opened the carriage door, and climbed into the carriage.
‘Keep your mind up. Hyunjun Kang. If I’m not careful, I’ll put a knife on my neck.’
Fortunately, no one was in the carriage. Originally, an attendant rode inside the wagon, but it must have been in consideration for Hyeon-jun. A knight on horseback came near the window and spoke politely.
“Would it be all right if I left?”
“yes.”
The knight nodded and spoke to the driver’s seat.
“Please leave.”
“yes.”
‘Damn it!’
The knight raised his voice. The gentleman who opened the door is not an ordinary person. I have no idea what kind of person you are. I want to be a butler or something. I don’t know anything about nobles, so I can’t even properly grasp the situation. Indifferent to Hyeon-jun, who was suffering from his own ignorance, the carriage began to move smoothly. Surprisingly, there is almost no shaking. I wondered if it was magic, but Hyeonjun, who was calmly analyzing the movement, narrowed his eyes.
‘Hanging. Apart from the lower part of the wagon, the place for people to ride is floating. That’s why it shakes so slowly.’
A structure rises like a pillar from the lower part of the wagon, and the cabin is suspended there. Thanks to that, all it does is shake a little despite the impact from the wheels. It moves smoothly even on the bumpy dirt floor of the slums.
Hyeon-jun laughed at the sight of himself sitting in this terrifyingly antique carriage. It would be awkward for a well-dressed aristocrat to sit down, but how ridiculous would it be to see him wearing plain clothes and armor that only covers his upper body? I calmed down and looked out the window. I am passing through the middle class living out of the slums. People hurriedly retreat and whisper to the splendid carriage that suddenly appears in the place where commoners live. Seeing the man whose eyes met hurriedly lowering his head and avoiding him, Hyeon-jun smiled bitterly. There were curtains on the windows, but they were not covered. I felt like I was in a car, so I didn’t want to cover it up. However, when I entered the place where I could see the aristocratic mansion, I had no choice but to cover the window. It is because he must avoid selling his face to nobles. Of course, he would have already used his hands to gather information about Hyeon-jun, but it would be better to be careful.
After a while, the carriage came to a gentle stop. Hyeonjun moved the curtains away and looked carefully outside. You can see the roads are clean and well-maintained. Gorgeous mansions surrounded by high walls. The carriage moves again and Hyeon-jun realizes that he is going inside the mansion. Soldiers with strong military discipline are passing through the gate guarded by them. Hyeonjun pulled back the curtain. It is a beautiful well-kept garden. The carriage crossed the garden and stopped at the entrance to the mansion. While Hyeon-jun was contemplating whether he should open the door himself, an elderly gentleman opened it.
“thank you.”
At Hyeon-jun’s greeting, the old gentleman smiled softly and bowed his head. Even that small gesture overflowed with grace. Hyeon-jun got off the carriage, eagerly hoping that he would not be a high-ranking nobleman higher than a baron. It’s really unbelievable, but even the air feels sweet. Because it was a port city, it smelled like the sea, but for some reason, the mansion grounds were full of fresh air and the smell of flowers. When Hyeon-jun got off the carriage, the young attendant who had been waiting in front of the door dragged the carriage away and the driver also bowed politely and left. Hyeon-jun, who had become alone with the old gentleman in an instant, wanted to scream at least. However, in front of the solemn atmosphere of the mansion and the old gentleman, he couldn’t even move his fingertips carelessly.
“It is late to say hello. My name is Guihern Bradion, the chamberlain.”
‘He’s a nobleman!’
Knowing and experiencing are different. When Guehern introduced himself and it became clear that he was a nobleman, he wanted to run away right away. However, Hyeon-jun said to him with a calm face.
“I am the adventurer Kang Hyeon-jun. Please call me Jun.”
“yes. June. Eat inside.”
The door to the mansion opened and Hyeon-jun, who entered the splendid hall, chewed his tongue at the scenery like a luxury hotel he had only seen in movies. I’d rather this place be a real hotel. Then, since I came in after spending money, I should have enjoyed it comfortably.
Unlike Gwihern, who walked silently, and the maids who passed by politely, Hyeon-jun could not hide the sound of the soles of his boots hitting the marble floor. He tried to twist his stomach to hear only his footsteps inside the quiet mansion, but he couldn’t help it, so he decided to walk confidently. Climbing up the hall’s ornate staircase to the second floor, only Hyun-jun’s regular footsteps could be heard in the huge mansion.
“You don’t have to worry too much. There are only servants inside the mansion, so please feel comfortable.”
“yes.”
It sounds good, but it didn’t feel comfortable at all. Gwihern led Hyeon-jun into the room. Upon entering the room, you are immediately taken aback by the luxurious furniture and delicately patterned walls.
“Let’s get rid of the poison for now. I’ll come back when lunch is ready. Rest in peace.”
And without a sound, the maid entered the room and put down her clothes. As Gwihern smiled and tried to close the door, Hyeon-jun called him.
“Chief of staff. this person is···.”
“I am a maid to serve Jun.”
On one side of the room, a maid stood respectfully with her eyes closed. She is a beauty with fair skin and well-groomed, glossy hair that is neatly piled up. Hyeonjun smiled and said to Guihern.

“It’s uncomfortable because I’m not used to it. Could you please leave me alone?”
“All right.”
When Gwihern nodded to the maid, the maid bowed politely to Hyeon-jun and went out the door without a sound. It’s like a ghost.
“Then take it easy. If you need a servant, just pull this string.”
Hyeon-jun stood still even after Gwihern closed the door. Hyeonjun sighed deeply as he sensed the faint sign of moving away beyond the thick soundproof door.
“I’ll turn.”
Hyunjoon looked around the room. Luxurious and luxurious furniture, large glass windows that let in pleasant sunlight. There is even a balcony there. Outside the window, you can see the beautiful garden at a glance. At first glance, it looks like a guest room. I hoped that I would be guided to a small, simple room, but I didn’t know what to do. The pure white curtains, which were terrifying to even touch with dirty leather gloves, had delicate embroidery that was hard to believe was made by human hands. Hyeon-jun took off his gloves and clothes for fear of getting them dirty. There was no place to put it, so I laid the clothes on an antique table and put the armor and sword on top. If the armor is scratched and injured, it seems like bloody tears will flow. Wearing only a shirt and pants, I opened the door to the back of the room.
“oh my god.”
It’s a bathroom! The bathtub made of pure white porcelain is decorated with delicate gold work and even has what appears to be a shower. There is a whole glass window on one of the bathroom walls. The sunlight pouring in from outside reflects off the marble on the floor and shatters it.
‘I don’t know. Let’s wash.’
Hyeon-jun took off his remaining clothes and shoes and entered the bathroom. I looked around and there was a wardrobe and a mirror. Hyeon-jun stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself for the first time in months.
“Hmm…”
Looking at the clear muscles and well-balanced body, Hyeonjun changed his posture. I have something I’ve seen somewhere, and I take a good posture like a bodybuilder. Originally, it would have been an unsightly appearance, but the sculpture-like body turned the juju into a pictorial.
‘He seems a bit handsome…’
Hyunjoon looked in the mirror and stroked his face. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen my own face, so I’m afraid. Are you handsome? Or is it just a bathroom mirror effect? Hyeon-jun laughed bitterly at his sparse beard that he couldn’t trim well. I was walking around like this. There is no mirror, and it is a mess because it was roughly scratched with a dagger. Hyeonjun stopped shaking the bowl and opened the cabinet.
‘Is this like soap? What is this? Oil?’
Hyeon-jun took out the soap and carefully inspected the viscous-looking golden liquid in the bottle. When you open the lid, the fragrant scent of flowers gently spreads into the bathroom.
‘Well, let’s not do this.’
The scent of flowers is unacceptable to a boy. soap? I can’t stand soap. Hyeonjun stood in front of what appeared to be a shower head holding a bar of soap. Unlike the magic tool that made water in Hakman’s house, it was a small magic tool the size of Hyeon-jun’s torso. The pattern was densely engraved on the shiny white metal. But I don’t know how to write it. What was in Hackman’s house was that when you move the lever, the plates engage, the pattern is completed, and water comes out, but this has the pattern already completed, and there is no lever. It was the moment when Hyeonjun reached out to examine the pattern while thinking about it.
shoot it
“Oh! Touch method!”
Warm water poured from the pipe connected to the magic tool. Hyeon-jun was amazed and fiddled with the magic tool. Surprisingly, the strength and temperature of the water are adjusted depending on where you touch it! Hyeon-joon was splashed with water. There was another magic tool in the bathtub, so I turned on hot water to fill it up.
“ha ha ha! How much is this!”
Hyeonjun laughed out loud as he was bathed in hot water. I get hot water in almost three months. Even though I went into the bathtub once, taking a shower while using the water to my heart’s content has a different taste. Hyeonjun, who was bathed in water for a while, rubbed his body with soap. I wish I had bath towels, but I don’t know where they are. Or is it none at all? Thanks to his flexibility, his hand reached the middle of his back. I soaped it up meticulously and rubbed it with my hands. I want to push even when I feel like it, but I can’t help it. I soaped my head and face well and washed them with hot water.
“It’s refreshing.”
Hyun-joon washed off the soap bubbles and turned off the water in the shower. Soon the bathtub was full. The water in the bathtub was also turned off and Hyeon-jun put his feet in.
“Ugh, cool.”
It was a hot temperature that even an elderly man in his 80s with 40 years of experience in the public bath would be surprised to bathe in, but it felt like the perfect temperature for Hyeon-jun, who had become stronger through body strengthening. Soaking your body and closing your eyes, there was no heaven.
“Huh…”
What else had I done to the windows, the sunlight streamed in transparently, even though the hot water was steaming. Watching the beautiful garden through the window while soaking in the bathtub, worries and tensions fly away. Let’s enjoy it for now. You can wash up, go out, and come to your senses again.
