Episode 44
##044
If the little boy in front of me succeeded to the county, he was in a different class than himself.
So, I politely apologized once again by giving him the title ‘Your Excellency Count’.
‘If Lian’s breath works, he might lose the successor position to his older brother!’
equivalent to grandfather.
That said, he was in a position where he could fully influence his right of succession.
His father and other siblings died early, and the only remaining competitor was his older brother.
“It comes out so stiff that some cousins were joking around. hehehe. And I’m not a count yet~?”
“uh… uh?! okay? still… sorry.”
Fortunately, the title of count was not inherited.
Still, I could never ignore Lian.
There are only three mid-level players who have already taken over the space.
Is that all? Ordinary soldiers (?) completely took control of the surroundings.
All of them are elite among elites.
Anyone with this level of subordinates deserves treatment comparable to that of a count.
“no. My maid playing with cousins! I was overreacting a bit. my maid! Go. I don’t think I would have known that my older brother, who is a waitress, would not be able to accept that much. Charlotte, I apologize again to you.”
At Ryan’s words with a light laugh.
“sorry. Second boy.”
Charlotte no longer knelt.
His back was upright and his shoulders were wide open.
I just bowed my head slightly.
“ah… no. Charlotte… hahahaha. You’ve gotten a lot better.”
“In terms of height, the second boy is still taller. hehehehe.”
Rather, he smiled leisurely and showed his usual appearance.
the usual look.
To Charlotte, they were no longer something to be feared.
“Ugh. Brother, wake up. The waitress would sit down anywhere.”
Lian grabbed Gaith’s arm and supported him.
Did you hold on too hard?
“aaagh!!”
It was the spot where Charlotte’s arm was broken.
“Oops. sorry.”
“no. Okay.”
After regaining his reason, he showed his knightly side.
If the Grand Master made up his mind, the pain would be bearable to some extent.
“Sister~! Sister Seina! Here’s the middle man. I can’t believe my older brother, who is a waitress, is in so much pain!!”
Rian looked back and shouted loudly.
At those words, Gais’s face lit up.
He showed an unsightly appearance from the intense pain he had felt in a long time.
“is that so? but. There’s no way the great engineer made a fuss with just a broken joint… huh… … ?”
God of War Bishop Seina rushed to first aid at Rian’s call.
“I’m sorry. Confucius. With my skills, I can’t find the wrong place other than taking measures to fix the joint.”
“hmm… Unless he’s stubborn or weak-willed, he’s not the type to make a fuss over the fact that his brother, who is a senior engineer, just got his joint back… … .”
Gais felt cold sweat running down his back like a shower as they talked.
They teased the pair very openly.
* * *
The news reached Count Artrone.
“Count. Communications came in from the floating pier.”
“huh? In between?”
“that is… It must have been an accident.”
Count Atroné, who was getting ready to leave, stopped with only one arm in his coat.
What do you mean an accident could happen?
Rather, it was a problem with Lian because he didn’t have too many accidents.
To think that such an innocent child would be born in the family of Count Atroné, who worships nothing… … .
I would have applauded if my only grandson had had accidents like an idiot.
All of the bloodlines left now were all killed in the colonial war, leaving only two grandchildren.
The two remaining grandchildren were also not worthy.
“okay. What kind of accident.”
“That’s how I met the second boy at the pier… My joints were broken by Master Rian’s lady-in-waiting… … .”
What the hell are you talking about?
No matter how disliked the second grandson is, he is a great warrior.
No matter where you go, your joints will break so easily… … .
“chambermaid? What do you mean by that?”
“that is… It’s called Charlotte Berry. It was given to me when I was young… … .”
“ah. I remember. Isn’t she the daughter of Baron Berry, who worked in the Treasury Department?”
“yes… … .”
“Given the child’s age, I’m sure he’s only a few years older than Lian… The second child broke his arm.”
What the hell are you talking about? It’s not like the knight commander is joking.
“that is… It seems to have been awakened in between. In addition, the contract with the spirit armor… … .”
“Awakening at that age?”
“And among Master Rian’s subordinates, only the 2nd Awakeners are identified as a total of three. Other than that… … .”
The Count was confused in his head.
Aren’t there only two great warriors who have undergone a second awakening, even the strong person of Airy Island?
The captains of the two knights.
Including myself, there are only three.
Of course, he was a fully matured master who had completed his 3rd awakening.
“Did the Kingdom of Ingleson really intervene… … ?”
* * *
Lian left the Going Misha at the pier and headed for the palace of the Countess of Artrone, accompanied by only a few men as an escort.
Tuduk! Tuduk! Tuduk!
The wagon ride was dirty.
It was inevitable that floating stone was a very difficult material to handle.
No matter how small the floating stone was, a huge magic device was needed.
In other words, it was difficult to use a floating stone on a miniaturized vehicle.
Unlike Auto Horses, who use their ego as their horse’s soul to center themselves. The wagon couldn’t do that.
Because of their different sizes, the ego caused an error.
So, the automaton was only used to float the body, but it did not have the ability to move horizontally by using a floating stone and twisting the force.
Openwork! Openwork!
The movement was pulled by two (?) Auto Horses.
For reference, the floating stone floats in the air according to the topography of the land.
If the road surface is rough, it is inevitable that the ride will be dirty.
“older brother. Your complexion is not good. whatever worries… … .”
Of course it had to be.
‘Hey Ryan! I mean that… … .’
“ha ha ha. no. Just because I thought I was so wrong… … .”
In the 8-seater carriage, the only person on his side was Paulo, a low-ranking captain.
On the other hand, the rest were related to Lian.
The vice-captain, Charlotte, and Seina, a priest of the God of War who boarded to heal herself.
Besides, a stupid-looking wizard and a boy who couldn’t tell if he was a woman or a boy?
“oh my. Brother too. I forgot everything I did earlier. hehehehe.”
“that… okay.”
Gais Atrone was completely stunned by Lian’s men.
Even excluding the great knights, if they had fought with Lian’s forces, they would have been completely defeated.
He was very uncomfortable in this place.
“young master! We have arrived at the county’s capital.”
As the capital of the county, it wasn’t a very big city.
A population of 2-3 thousand people.
In addition, the palace is also a palace, not the kind of palace you imagined.
In the game, there was only one illustration depicting the interior, so even Lian saw the real thing for the first time.
Actually, it’s a palace, but it feels like a small fortress in the city.
Rather, the City Hall of Dublin Harbor looked much more like a palace.
‘But it’s the first time I’ve actually seen a castle.’
it was cool it was cool
I haven’t been to Jeju Island, let alone to Europe.
If I knew how to possess into a game like this, I would have lived with flex.
“Wow~!! young master… It’s been a while. right? Right?!”
I liked Charlotte, so I jumped around while sitting.
bouncing around
Even just that, the carriage rocked like mad up and down.
“stop!! It’s crazy.”
“Chi~ puuu!”
Charlotte blew her cheeks.
Ryan shakes his head.
“I can’t ride a wagon very much.”
As much as that, the thing called an automata was quite unstable.
Perhaps because of the danger of detonating mana, it was not used well in warfare.
It is simply used to transport personnel or supplies from the rear.
Even that was not mainstream because of the high price.
The supply still uses horses and carts.
“I’ll have to buy an auto hose when I go to Synsenrom later.”
After all, it is the Synsenrom Empire.
Empress Theresia’s best friend is the Kingdom of Hung.
The pride of the Kingdom of Hung was a group of cavalry called Hussars.
Of course, their auto hose manufacturing technology is the top of the continent.
“I’ll buy you one too, Charlotte.”
“Oh, clothes!! Really?! I promised. If you receive a horse as a gift from your lover… … .”
“shut up. I won’t buy it if you say more.”
“Chit. Booooooo~”
Charlotte makes the cheeks bulge again.
in between.
Less sober~!
The automata stopped.
There seemed to be a check before entering the castle.
“Gillian. Why did you stop the carriage? Master Gais is riding inside.”
“Great. Paulo! no, it was built Second b*tch. When are you going to pay back the money you borrowed?!”
Geiss slightly opened the window of the automaton.
“Crump your face. If you wait, your subordinates will bring it to you. I sold some potatoes today.”
“Ohh. All right.”
It was not an ordinary conversation with the knight guarding the castle gate.
‘Gillian?!’
Come to think of it, there was a knight in Count Atroné’s family who used usury.
‘My nickname was the Golden Goblin.’
In the game, if you captured the opponent’s knight, you could get a ransom.
It is also given by the lord of the article. Even knight families paid for it.
However, when the war gets longer and the warring parties run out of money, it becomes difficult to exchange prisoners.
In that case, the war was over and they were released on a litter.
– Found the Golden Goblin today. It seems like a bug.
This started with a bug report from a user.
-Pay the ransom no matter how many times they were caught.
Thank you for reporting. sir. However, that phenomenon is not a bug… … .
Answer from the Q&A team that this is not a bug.
In other words, Gillian himself was incredibly rich.
It’s like a fountain that never dries up.
“after… You bastard!”
Geiss closed the window and cursed.
“He’s a vicious guy.”
It is a fact that will be revealed later, but he is the one who has been in charge of the dark side of Count Atrone’s family for generations.
Kidnapping, bribery, prostitution, and trafficking are everywhere.
“You know something. Lian.”
“yes. I do know.”
However, there is no way to rip something out.
Even though he was a knight, he did not entrust it only to soldiers, but when he saw that he faithfully came out to the gates and stood on duty.
“Im here. young master.”
Upon entering the castle, the carriage came to a complete stop.
Clap!
The door opened and the carriage stopped in a not-so-wide vacant lot.
The form of a small castle seen in the movie.
“Welcome back. young master.”
The person who opened the carriage door was the leader of the 1st Knights of Atrone.
It was counting white like frost on my head, but my appearance was active.
He appeared to be a mid-level waiter.
“yes… long time no see… … .”
Of course, I was embarrassed because it was the first time I saw Lian, not in a long time.
The knight commander saw it.
‘also. It seems that he hasn’t taken off his weakness.’
There was some misunderstanding.
“The road must have been difficult. I will guide you to your room.”
“thank you… … .”
The knight commander wanted to say more, but.
“The Count has been busy with work and asked me to tell him that I will see him at dinner.”
“All right.”
I quickly lost interest in Ryan’s attitude.
However, his gaze left Lian and turned to the vice-captain.
Cheeky~!
For a moment, the eyes of the two collided in the air.
It’s not easy to sleep.
‘Are you the author? Who actually moves Master Rian? They say they are pirates… You have to be able to trust it.’
First of all, according to Dublin’s source, he came with a pirate flag.
‘There must be someone involved with Ingleson.’
The valley of doubt deepened.
In addition to that, his eyes toward Charlotte deepened with suspicion.
‘Charlotte, that guy is also awakened… … .’
Obviously, Charlotte was the daughter of an official who worked for the count’s family, but in fact, that low-ranking official was a nobleman from the main island of Ingleson.
For some reason, it flowed here to Airy Island.
‘Baron Barry must have been Engleson’s ganja. Are you glad you got sick and died? My daughter is awakening at that age. He might have been hiding his power too.’
Other than that, the priest also seems unusual.
Surprisingly, a priest who worships a very rare god of war.
‘Wizards are communication wizards because they don’t look like much? The little boy next to him is a disciple… I see… I have to go quickly and report it.’
The knight commander roughly grasped the situation and went back to the count.
Originally, the Count was going to meet him personally, but the situation seemed complicated, so he planned to send the leader to observe the situation and make a decision.
“okay. How was it?!”
It would be accurate to see the Count himself, but he is the head of a family.
If you move without knowing your intentions, you may fall into the trickery of the Ingleson Kingdom.
“It seemed that Ingleson must be up to something. Far from being a war hero, the young master still seemed weak.”
“As expected. Damn you guys. Now you reach out to your little grandson.”
Two people who are deeply misunderstood.
In fact, in the Count’s eyes, Lian was already out of the way.
Therefore, only two attendants were attached to the child who was going to succeed the count.
It was just anger toward the target who did this to himself, who was cooperative with Ingleson.
‘Is it King Ingleson who orchestrated the matter? Or Prime Minister?’
If the king or prime minister listened to the earl’s heart.
-huh?! me????
I might have been bewildered.
Because the Ingleson Kingdom really had no idea… … .
“Woooooo!!”
It was the same with Lian who had no idea.
Rather, I was guided to the room and only admired inwardly.
He had never traveled abroad before, so he was in a bad mood.
‘Oh oh! Your eyes are dazzling! Is this what it feels like to be in Europe? Is this the Baroque style you learned about in your history class?’
Of course not.
It was just that the Countess Artrone had no interest or discernment in art, so it was just a mess because they collected miscellaneous things.
Moreover, there were many things that this world was similar to, but not similar to, Europe.
“young master. You can use this room.”
The room I arrived at was in the form of several rooms within a room.
Perhaps it was out of consideration for Lian, who brought a guest.
“I will prepare clothes for you and your guests to change into.”
The head maid who manages all the ladies-in-waiting who guided Rian and the others.
From nob le mt l. com
Just looking at it, it seemed to be of exceptional quality.
“yes. thank you.”
Ryan and his crew enter the room.
When Charlotte tries to follow in too.
Swoop.
The maid held Charlotte by the collar and nodded.
I meant to see you for a while.
