why here…
another master
All the people in front of me were working or living in the mansion, but there was a person who didn’t fit in here.
Why are you here?
My great-grandfather, Pauline Rocks, who works as a gardener, stood to one side in his gardener’s attire.
Seeing that he had a puzzled expression on his face, he had no idea that I had come. It was like a situation where we suddenly appeared and were forced to be caught in the middle.
“Let’s go in first.”
The Marquis followed my gaze, saw my grandfather, and led us inside. I looked back and saw my great-grandfather walking towards the garden.
“What wind is blowing? You came here so suddenly.”
“Do you need a reason to come home? I came to see your face after a long time.”
“Really?”
“That’s right.”
“ha ha ha!”
The Marquis put on a satisfied expression, and Caina and Carox’s robes next to them flinched. I never would have thought that words like that would come out of my mouth.
“Even though I received a lot of help, I couldn’t even properly say thank you.”
“help?”
“Didn’t you support the knights when the territory was attacked, and come directly to direct the workers and help with the restoration work when I was down?”
“With nothing special.”
The Marquis could not hide the smile that bloomed on his face. From a while ago until now, the smiling face has not changed.
“Arin. Is Yuren doing well?”
After making eye contact with me, the Marquis suddenly asked Arin as if he was embarrassed.
“I am receiving so much help that I will not be able to repay it even if I have served it for the rest of my life.”
“Then you are fortunate. Whoop”
Arin answered right away as if he had been waiting. The Marquis continued to show a proud expression after hearing Arin’s sincere reply.
“Then, shall we have a friendly conversation with rich people after a long time?”
“I don’t know if it will be intimate, but I get it.”
“hahahaha!”
I went into the Marquis’s office and had a lot of conversations to resolve the issue.
It was a conversation in which the Marquis asked and I answered, and he listened to my story with interest more than anyone else, and gave advice if there was a better way.
After the conversation with the Marquis, I went out of my room and out of the mansion.
“I’m sure something happened…”
Thinking that it would not be normal for my great-grandfather to come to the mansion, I went to the outskirts of the garden where his residence was.
wickedness.
The sound of the scissors was completely different from that of ordinary gardeners. Compared to the sound that makes you feel like your ears will be cut off, the person’s presence is as thin as fog.
There is only one person in the Marquis family who can do this.
“long time no see.”
I went behind him and bowed my head respectfully.
“What are you doing when other people see you?”
“Who will come here?”
“Heh heh, that’s true.”
Grandpa came down the ladder with a friendly smile. He looked at me for a moment and then nodded.
“This is really great. Even if you search the empire, or even the entire continent, there will be no one who has grown as fast as you. You look like you’re looking at some kind of monster.”
“It’s an overstatement.”
“What can I show you so that I can show you well? Whoops.”
Grandpa put the garden shears on the ladder and leaned his back against the tree. His mood seems to have changed a bit too. It has a very light presence.
“Grandpa seems to have gotten stronger too. No, no more…”
“Hmm, to be able to recognize that too… I really can’t stand it.”
I took a closer look at my grandfather. He was strong before, but now the level itself is different from then.
[Activates Creator’s Eye.]
[Name: Fallen Rocks]
[Attributes: Quick Sword lv5, Aura Change lv5, Sword Mastery (劍鳴), Sword Termination (劍絶)]
[Likeability: 74 (strong likeability) ]
[Current mood: I am sincerely admiring it.]
Is it a sword?
It’s great to have a new talent, but it’s hard to believe that there’s a talent without a level.
“After you found out my identity, I tried to erase my presence even more. I thought I couldn’t get caught by anyone else again. But on the contrary, I felt my presence growing more and more.”
I tried to erase my presence, but saying that my presence is getting bigger is not a good thing.
“Because your identity was almost revealed to your younger siblings. Whoops.”
“yes?”
“Your siblings have gotten pretty strong too. There was a time when the second guy looked at me with a strange expression.”
Is it a sim…
He was in a deep mood.
The more you try to do something, the more there comes a moment when it doesn’t go well. If you don’t do well, you may never be able to hold a sword again.
“The child may have grown up, but my problem was bigger. After a lot of thought, I ate at ease, thinking that if my identity is discovered, I will be caught. OK…”
Grandpa smiled as he looked up at the now darkened sky.
“The road is open. The wall that had been blocking me for 20 years, no, almost 30 years, was pierced. The answer was not false freedom, but true freedom. ”
Grandpa took out the gardening sword that was hanging from his waist.
Boo.
“Aura Blade…”
The Master’s symbol, the Aura Blade, rose from the small sword that cut the tree branch.
“When I hoped so much and tried so hard, it didn’t open, but now that I focus on gardening, it finally opens to me.”
“Congratulations on reaching Master!”
It was obvious that my grandfather had become stronger, but I had no idea that he would become a Master.
“okay. Thank you.”
“There are kingdoms without masters, but Rocks alone has two masters.”
“Heh heh, I had no idea that I would become a Master.
Since even Fallin Rocks became a master, Krasis had three masters. It’s really unexpected.
“I guess the reason you were in front of the mansion earlier was on your way to tell me that you became a Master.”
Now I could understand why my grandfather was in front of the mansion.
“It is not. I have no intention of revealing my abilities to anyone but you. Even your father.”
“Well, what do you mean by that?”
“What kind of pride are you talking about being a master at this age? I will continue to work in the garden and die as a gardener.”
“This is Master! All of Krasis will praise you!”
“Yuren. Gardening is so nice. The sunlight, the wind, and the annoying bugs aren’t bad either. It used to be a penitent heart, but now gardening has become my real life.”
Judging by his determined words and expression, he has already made up his mind. No matter what I say, it seems that I have no intention of coming out into the world.
“Young guys like you should be active. I am content to have crossed the wall that has stood in my way for decades. I feel the best right now.”
“If you say so, I will keep my mouth shut.”
“Thank you. hahahaha. It was nice to tell you too.”
Grandpa gave a satisfied smile. He showed me his Aura Blade because he believed in me. I couldn’t betray him because of my greed.
I decided to be content with the fact that the guardian deity protecting Rocks has become stronger.
“Then why did you go to the mansion today? Aren’t you going that way?”
“I had something to say to your father.”
The look on his grandfather’s face when he said that was the most serious of all he had shown.
“Can you tell me what is going on?”
“Last night someone crossed the family wall.”
“hmm…”
Currently, Rocks’ reputation is at its peak. My name has risen to the sky, and my younger siblings are doing well, so spying is only natural.
Hundreds of people come to see me at Yeongju Castle in broad daylight, and dozens of people climb over the wall at night.
“Isn’t that common these days? Because the name of Rocks has risen…”
“that’s right. not common Since you became a master, many people have come to you because they want to know more about Rocks. Most of them get caught by guards. but…”
Grandpa paused for a moment and glared at the wall.
“The guy who came in yesterday was hard for me to notice. The security, of course, didn’t notice, and even though it passed by my quarters, I couldn’t quite figure it out. If the sound and presence were just a little bit smaller, I would have thought the bug had passed by.”
From noble mtl dot com
When you become a master, the aura within your body increases exponentially, and your senses increase several times. In addition, the grandfather’s characteristic sword is more sensitive to sound. The fact that he was almost able to pierce it means that he is no ordinary guy.
“Did you miss it?”
“I tried to chase him, but he heard me and went outside again. I don’t know how powerful they are because I haven’t faced swords, but I can believe that they are masters of how to move and how to kill a presence.”
Master level stealth and movement skills.
There are a few guys that come to mind, but I couldn’t be sure. Furthermore, I can’t get a sense that he’s not going to Gairin, where I am, but to the Rox family.
“Definitely not normal.”
“okay. So I went to talk to your father, and suddenly you appeared and got me stuck.”
“hahahaha! I thought you were somehow too awkward. But there must be a lot of people in the morning, so how did you plan to meet them?”
“There is a signal calling your father.”
Father and grandfather seem to have a way to meet separately.
“sorry. It’s just because of me…”
“What are you talking about? I’m really glad you came and thank you. Didn’t you spread the name of Rocks to the world instead of me, a fool? These days, I live for the pleasure of hearing your performance.”
Grandpa patted my shoulder with warm eyes. A softness passed from his hand.
“thank you.”
“So I have a request.”
“yes. anything.”
“You tell me the story of the intruder. It’s annoying to go see you again.”
Grandpa gave a sly smile. It wasn’t difficult, and he nodded his head saying that he knew that he would have to meet with his father separately.
“Then I also have a request. If anything happens to The Rocks…”
“That’s something you don’t have to ask for. No one can reach Lox without facing my sword.”
Grandpa was dressed as a gardener, but such wild words didn’t go very well with him. Maybe it’s his original personality.
“You are more reliable than anyone else.”
**
After meeting my grandfather, I finished dinner on the outside and headed to his office with the Marquis.
“Even after talking like that today, did you ask to see me separately because you wanted to talk about something else? don’t you like me too much When I was younger, I didn’t even chase after you.”
“You must have felt a lot of jokes because you didn’t see it.”
“Huh, now you sound heartbreaking. okay. What do you want to say? They don’t lend money.”
“Don’t worry, there is plenty of money. You know I know my great-grandfather, right?”
“hmm…”
The Marquis groaned and sat down at the desk.
“okay. heard of him You are such a strange guy.”
“I found out by accident.”
“I don’t feel comfortable thinking about him either. You are a person who can live comfortably, but are you satisfied with yourself? I can’t help it.”
“That’s not what I’m talking about.”
I told the Marquis the story about the intruder that my grandfather had told me.
“Well, I thought it was strange that he came so suddenly, but that’s what happened.”
“It’s not normal. Increasing the number of guards won’t do you any good if Grandpa barely notices. until stable. We need to increase the number of knights who stand watch.”
“okay. don’t do that.”
The Marquis nodded as if it were natural, but frowned as if in doubt and brushed his beard.
“Strange. What would such a talented person pick up and eat…”
“I don’t know either. A thief or someone who came to get information would be fine, but an assassin would be dangerous.”
“right. For the time being, I will increase the number of soldiers and knights standing guard to strengthen the vigilance. I need to warn others and set up a warning spell.”
“yes. Well thought out. and…”
He took out three large mana stones from his magic bag and placed them on the table.
“Eh, what is this?”
“It’s like pocket money.”
“Yo, pocket money?”
“Originally, when children grow up, don’t they give them pocket money to show their filial piety to their parents? It’s not money, it’s a thing, but think of it as similar. My father has a lot of money, so even if he had money, he brought something that was hard to find.”
The Marquis really helped me a lot. If he gave it as a reward for his help, he would obviously not accept it, so he said he was giving him pocket money and brought the mana stone.
“ha ha ha!”
The Marquis may have noticed my thoughts and stroked the mana stone with a proud face.
“thanks. Two years ago, I could never have imagined receiving something like this from you.”
The Marquis stopped talking for a moment as if choking, and looked at the ground. I called him again because the atmosphere seemed to be getting too heavy.
“father.”
“huh?”
“Isn’t there something like a banner hanging in the manor?”
“I see! Isn’t it wonderful?”
The Marquis was even applauding as if he thought the banner was good. I’m sorry, but I’m really bad.
“Please take it off.”
“huh?”
“Take it off.”
“uh…”
**
It was decided to remove the banner after a month. I wanted to take it off tomorrow, and the Marquis wanted to hang it for a year.
After a few fights, we agreed to remove the banner a month later and went back to my room.
“It is.”
Even though I came suddenly, the room was cleaned as neatly as when I was there. I felt like I was going to fall asleep at the familiar smell of the pillow.
widely.
As I was about to surrender myself to the water horse, I heard someone hurriedly climbing the stairs. Seeing that the sound is familiar and fast, it is Arin.
“Yuren.”
“come in.”
“Sorry for the late hour.”
Arin, who opened the door, looked urgent because his face was red unlike his usual appearance.
“I haven’t slept yet, so it’s okay. What happened?”
“I have an urgent message from Gairin.”
“what?”
Hearing Arin’s next words, he was startled and immediately stood up.
“Mira said she has an urgent story to tell.”
There is only one reason for Myra to call urgently.
prognosis…
prepare
Myra must have seen a very serious or dangerous premonition and sought me out to deliver it.
“contents is?”
“They said they only sent an emergency call message.”
“hmm…”
