“This is the secretary of Haup Castle, who is currently commanding the rebels.”
“It’s fun. Tell me more.”
“I’ve been researching him, but there’s no trace of him other than appearing in Miles as if he suddenly fell from the sky one day. After that, the only actions taken by the Haup Castle Master were the secretaries.”
It was definitely winning.
If you were a decent person, your tracks were bound to be left behind somehow.
But what came out of the investigation was that he only appeared in Miles and suddenly became the rebel commander’s secretary?
Ethan murmured lowly.
“Didn’t there ever be a saying that the bookkeeper smells?”
Then Garrett was very surprised.
“What? How did you know? When I heard about it, I thought it was just a dubious thing, but rumors spread that it actually smelled really bad.”
Ethan smiled at that.
‘I found it.’
I have finally found the tail of the Plaguecaster who has been chasing me from Dunsell.

smart.
Someone knocked on Ethan’s door.
Ethan said without confirming who it was.
“come in.”
The door opened and a knight came in with a smile on his face.
“I heard you found me.”
It was the guide knight I saw in the basement of the fortress.
“It’s strange to hear respect. Didn’t you originally use half-words?”
Then the knight humbly scratched the back of the head.
“Look at it then. It was before he died, so there was nothing to see. And the Holy Lord also uses respectful words to the priest, so I’m a little bit rude… … .”
“It doesn’t really matter. Just sit down.”
“Yep. By the way, you don’t even know my name, but Yongke also found me.”
As soon as he sat down, he began to stutter again.
Ethan responded as if it wasn’t a big deal.
“It’s not that common for chatty articles that lack a sense of weight. Everyone noticed right away.”
Then the knight made a big fuss.
“Ha ha ha ha ha! Is that so? Nice to see you again like this. Please feel free to call me Conrad.”
“I do.”
“By the way, why did you find me? I know you are very busy.”
It wasn’t wrong.

Questions have been pouring into Pavalo Ethan as he has recently begun catching the plague across Miles.Ethan was busy answering it.
It wasn’t just that.
As the rear stabilized, Miles began sending supplies and soldiers little by little to the fortress.
Among them were high-ranking officials.
So Ethan had to meet them one by one.
“I am very busy. So I guess I’ll have to go get some air.”
“yes? What does that mean?”
“Other knights will have to accompany them.”
“… … !”
Conrad, puzzled at first, soon understood Ethan’s words.
His eyes became sharp.
“Are you going too far?”
“It will be a little bit out of the fortress.”
“I think hunting would be good if it was windy. My body was aching because I was stuck in the fortress, but it worked out. I’ll ask the others.”
Conrad laughed.

dark night.
People secretly gathered in a room that had not been used for a long time.
It was Ethan and the knights.
The knights who had gathered were the only ones who had been cursed by the beast and waited for death, but survived thanks to Ethan.
Some of the knights drew the curtains in the room and lit only the candles to avoid the eyes of the lord Garrett.
The knights asked Ethan.
“How long are you hunting?”
“It depends on the plan, but I’m thinking about a fortnight.”
“It is appropriate. Where is the hunting ground?”
“Hauf. Seongju’s clerk there is a bit unusual, so I’ll go say hello once.”
At those words, the eyes of the knights shone.
“good.”
“We were curious about the bookmaker too.”
The knights’ responses were cool.
His trust in Ethan was evident.
It was natural.
They would have been dead without Ethan.
I couldn’t help but trust the life saver.
Then Conrad said playfully.
“Can the noble priest go directly to the rough hunting?”
Then the other knights laughed at Conrad.
“Hey, Conrad. Stop being pretentious.”
“right. You and all of us are the only ones who were hit hard by the priest one by one.”
“Isn’t the priest supposed to be concerned about whether we’ll be able to keep up?”
Conrad shrugged at the voice of his accusation.
“I am confident that I will not lose to hunting. Aren’t you supposed to know what’s long and short?”
Conrad’s eyes twinkled with life.
Ethan was satisfied.
The fact that the knights revealed their lives meant that there were so many accumulated things.
He went to the brink of death by the rebels and barely survived.
So, the rebels had no choice but to accumulate a lot.
Conrad raised his hand.
“Ah, Priest. There is one thing left to do.”
“What?”
“Can’t you join the hunt for two people who haven’t come here?”
Ethan was puzzled.
To his knowledge, the people present here were all the knights Ethan had saved.
In the first place, there was a reason that Ethan only called the knights indebted to him.
“I only called this person to act as secretly as possible. Are they trustworthy?”
Conrad answered confidently.
“Absolutely. They are very reliable knights that even the priest knows well.”
Ethan’s eyebrows twitched.
“no way… … .”
Two vague images appeared in his mind.
They were the ones who bothered Ethan all the way to Graytown.

“no!”
Christopher and Dylan were vehemently opposed.
“why?”
“It looks like they are just rushing into the enemy line.”
“Think again.”
The two chased after Ethan and stopped him.
But Ethan didn’t listen to them either.
“Isn’t that what allowed me to join the hunt on condition that I didn’t say anything? I will not listen to nonsense.”
“ね!”
“It’s useless. You are so great!”
Christopher and Dylan were stabbed in the corner.
Upon hearing the news that the two were joining, Ethan placed a safeguard, that is, a condition.
‘It’s better to do this because you risked your life for the escort on the way here.’
Unsurprisingly, when I revealed the contents of the operation, I went against it like that.
But when Ethan put forward a condition, the two kept their mouths shut.
Miles’ knights risk their lives for chivalry.
Because it was a promise made under the name of the knight, the two could not even speak to Ethan’s words.
Christopher, who was more relaxed than Dylan, opened his mouth.
“Priest Ethan, from now on, everything I say is my own talk. It’s absolutely no joke.”
I wanted to go out there to talk nonsense, so I wanted to hear from you.
“When there was work in the basement of the fortress, we could not protect the priest due to our incompetence, and we missed it. When I think about that time, I get really cold. If anything happens to the priest, Miles’ benefactor, it will be a continental loss!”
It was also nonsense that could not be found in logic.
Ethan just nodded his head.
“okay. I heard good talk. Anyway, the matter has already been decided, so go and get some equipment and food for the camp.”
Christopher sighed and dropped his shoulders.
Ethan didn’t understand them.
It had already been proven that Ethan was stronger than them in the first place.
Even Christopher did that from Central to Dalian.
‘After all, Miles’ chivalry is strange.’
Ethan shook his head.
That was then.
“Priest Ethan!”

Vivian found Ethan and ran to him.Then he saw Christopher and Dylan belatedly and warned them.
“Hey, were these people there too?”
It was only natural that Vivian was surprised.
Because of the excessive escort of the two knights, he was misunderstood as a preliminary poison killer.
Not surprisingly, Christopher and Dylan’s expressions weren’t very good either.
“Christopher, he seems to be wary of us. Is it because of your mood?”
“Well, I don’t think it’s because of my mood.”
Ignoring them both, Vivian asked Ethan.
“What were you doing here?”
“It’s nothing. It’s just a joke. What is it for?”
“Are you talking now?”
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Vivian’s eyes narrowed.I looked at Ethan, but Ethan continued with a brazenly ignorant face.
Since this happened so often, Vivian thought it would be the case now.
“Hey, give me your hand.”
“A hand?”
Ethan held out his right hand without thinking.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Vivian then pulled out a tape measure and meticulously measured Ethan’s hand.“Now it’s done.”
“What did you do?”
“Last time I saw it, it looked like the gauntlet was broken. So I’m going to prepare a new one.”
Ethan had a puzzled expression on his face.
“Then why? It wouldn’t be a penny or two.”
The thief numbed my feet, so Vivian jumped.
“We are just helping each other in the situation we are in as a support group together. If you give, you give, so what are you asking for? Please be careful with what I am giving you this time. I know?”
“Ugh. Yes. thank you.”
Ethan nodded his head.
‘Did the Empire give you money? Then you should receive it when you say you will give it.’
Ethan’s hard-working temperament was also demonstrated here.
However, an unexpected interrupter appeared.
“no!”
Again, it was Christopher and Dylan.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Vivian was perplexed.“It’s different from the last time we had the Nourishing Tonic Potion! Are you going to cry that the tape measure was poisoned this time?”
“It’s not, but it’s not.”
Christopher and Dylan exchanged meaningful glances.
‘If you receive the gauntlet, the priest will be more active on the battlefield.’
‘yes. I am of the same opinion.’
It was a plot like that, but the two of them were now aware.
He knew that if he said this in front of Ethan, he would be scolded.
They both criticized Vivian.
“Isn’t your gift to push Priest Ethan further into the battlefield?”
“It would be better if it was a stronger shield rather than a gauntlet. It’s enchanted!”
“What do you mean by giving away something you don’t use as a gift? They are really weird people.”
The two knights and Vivian started an absurd argument.
In the meantime, Ethan quietly disappeared alone.

“Are you going on a reconnaissance? Knights?”
Cynthia’s eyes could see the scene outside the window.
The knights in armor were riding on horses one by one.
There were quite a few heavy loads on horseback.
In terms of volume, it was difficult even for the horses to stand.
However, thanks to the lightening magic, the horses were squealing or rolling their feet.
At Cynthia’s question, the escort knight Ben came to his side.
He was puzzled as he saw the knights moving in a hurry.
“It’s definitely weird.”
“right?”
Cynthia tilted her head.
Reconnaissance is usually performed by professionally trained scouts.
It was rare for a conspicuous entity like the Knights to go out on reconnaissance.
Then Ben added a few more words.
“Maybe reconnaissance is not the goal. Since they have had a sit-down so far, they may have gone to check out a small village nearby. Then it would be better for a knight to go rather than a scout.”
“Oh yeah?”
Ben’s words made sense.
Graytown had a sit-down until recently.
Since there was a fierce battle, the security of the nearby village must have deteriorated considerably.
Among the duties of a knight, he was in charge of security in the village, so it was likely that he would be concerned.
