The butler looked at Ethan with a puzzled face.
“Priest, the priest’s puppy!”
Ethan frowned.
‘That dog is real.’
I’ve worked hard to finish a tight schedule, so what the hell is this?
‘If you just go, I’ll know whether to chase after you or not.’
Ethan was about to leave Fenrir and leave the mansion.
Ethan waved his hand with a frown on his face.
“Don’t worry. No, he’s a clever guy, so he’ll get out on his own.”
“no. How fierce are the guard dogs in the mansion! Such a small, young puppy would be very boneless. I’ll go find it right now! Please wait here for a second!”
Can you say those words when you see the body of that little, young puppy?
“No, he’s not just a dog, he’s a divine beast… … .”
The butler followed Fenrir with a desperate look.
Ethan lowered his waving hand.
“… is.”
But the butler had already disappeared.
Ethan crossed his arms and looked up at the hallway ceiling with a dissatisfied expression on his face.
Then, in the end, Fenrir moved in the direction where he disappeared.
“This guy’s dung cub. If you find it, snacks are prohibited for the time being.”
Ethan grumbled and walked down the hallway.
Then, not long after, I found Fenrir.
This time, the butler was rather missing.
“They are twins.”
Ethan put his hand under Fenrir’s stomach and picked up Fenrir.
bruise!
Fenrir struggled with a whimper.
“Why are you so fussy? Hey, can we just go back?”
Woof woof!
Come to think of it, Fenrir’s gaze continued to be directed toward the hallway wall.
Ethan followed Fenrir’s gaze.
“… Is that?”
Ethan looked a little surprised.
In the hallway, a glove was displayed.
Woof woof!
Fenrir barked and wags his tail as if he had met a stranger.
“Ha, maybe?”
Ethan walked over there.
If you look closely, you can tell for sure.
‘That stupid tutu was written by a bastard.’
Ethan smirked.
One of the Seven Heroes, fighter Kayden Hanson.
it reminded me of him
Ethan’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the gauntlet inside the glass coffin.
‘I asked why his gauntlets are here.’
Traces of magical power were barely felt in the gauntlet.
It was a common occurrence during warfare for the enemy to loot the weapon he was fond of.
‘It looks like it was brought as loot.’
That was then.
His left eye, which had jet-black eyes, began to throb.
“Ugh.”
As Ethan swallowed a moan, Fenrir in his right hand jumped to the floor.
And as if surprised, he circled around Ethan.
Meanwhile, memories of the past entered Ethan’s mind.
* * *
‘no!’
Ethan screamed as he was dragged into memories of the past.
Because it was obvious what kind of memories he would see.
‘What are you doing to show that muscle-crazed bastard?!’
Ethan, in rare cases, complained about his jet-black eyes.
Kayden Hanson, one of the Seven Heroes.
He was a fighter representing the Merkul Kingdom, a country of mercenaries among the Seven Heroes.
In a previous life, Ethan had this to say about Kaden Hanson.
He is good but ignorant, ignorant but righteous.
So, it would be worth eating with that simple ignorant noodle.
‘If possible, he’s a crazy guy with muscles he doesn’t want to deal with. I thought so.’
Meanwhile, the scene of a certain room appeared in front of Ethan’s eyes.
‘Well? here is?’
He was lying in bed as if someone had been injured.
A priest stood by the bed, a familiar face behind him.
It was Luca Rossi, who was the scoundrel of the saint.
Where Ethan stood, the face of the man lying on the bed was not visible.
“Are you okay?”
Luke asked in a sullen voice.
Ethan’s eyes narrowed.
The gauntlet belonged to Kayden Hanson.
So, of course, the one lying on the bed must have been Cayden.
‘Is this what Cayden looked like just before he died? By the way, isn’t Luca Rossi still young?’
A question like that came to mind, and just then, Luca continued.
“Magic has penetrated the wound. The hurdle is over, but you need to recuperate for the time being.”
“I need to heal… … . Cool!”
Then I heard the voice of everyone dying.
It was definitely Kayden Hanson’s voice.
But it was then.
The man lying on the bed suddenly jumped up and jumped and landed on the floor.
widely!
Yes.
He landed with his arms extended to the side.
The man’s body was made of muscles as if he was testing the limits of human muscles.
‘Oh shit… … .’
Ethan already looked tired from here.
I wondered if even getting out of bed had to be like that.
“But the recuperation lying still is not an option!”
As if when they were all dead, Kayden exclaimed loudly.
It was loud enough to resonate in the indoor air.
“Ugh!”
Then, as he twisted his body, he began to take a position where the muscles of the whole body, such as the side chest and triceps, stood out.
“My treatment is self-discipline! Endless self-discipline is the source of strength that can overcome magic.”
After checking the condition of my muscles, he smiled with satisfaction.
Cayden’s dry cheeks gleamed.
Fight! Tuk!
The clothes that Cayden was wearing with him burst out, unable to withstand the swollen muscles.
“… … .”
Ethan was at a loss for words when he actually witnessed the sight, which he had only heard through rumors.
“… … .”
Even Luca shook her head with a tired face.
Even though this hasn’t happened to me once or twice.
Cayden comforted Luca like that.
“Don’t worry, little priest. Without overdoing it, I will only learn kwon-sik.”
“Is that true?”
Luke gave him a questionable look.
Cayden continued to nod.
“Of course not. Did you see this Kaden Hanson lying?”
“Um, that’s right. Kaden is too simple to lie.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha! Is that a compliment?”
“Think as you like.”
Luca was relieved at that moment and left.
Cayden immediately moved to the training center and put on the gauntlets.
“My beautiful muscles, drive away the evil magic!”
He practiced kwonsu and spoke to his muscles.
His muscles twitched as if in response to Cayden’s words.
It was truly a sight I couldn’t see with my eyes open.
“Ah, shit. my eyes!”
Ethan, who was forced to witness the scene, could not bear it and began to swear.
But, of course, Cayden didn’t hear Ethan’s swear words.
The scenes I didn’t want to see continued.
There were so many memories of Kayden in the gauntlet that he would normally return to reality, but the memories continued without end.
It was a memory that came into my head, so covering my eyes didn’t mean I couldn’t see it.
‘shit! You’ve done this!’
After a while, Ethan shouted to himself.
At that moment, like a lie, Ethan returned to reality.
* * *
“Huh! Ugh!”
Ethan took a breath.
It will soon return to reality.
Watching Kaden’s wriggling muscles and strange conversations he didn’t want to see for hours made his stomach upset.
“Wow.”
I felt like I was going to get nauseous.
pinch.
Fenrir rubbed his head against Ethan’s leg.
It was like asking why.
‘This abominable motherf*cker… … !’
Ethan clenched his teeth and looked down at Fenrir.
If it wasn’t for this motherf*cker, I wouldn’t have seen such a bad mental health scene.
“ha.”
Ethan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
He decided to think well.
It was not in his temper that he should have done this or that about what had already happened.
‘Anyway, he was also a Chil Hero.’
He was one of the seven people who overtaken the flying fish and creepers on the continent.
It was an opportunity to see such a martial artist’s training in a lively way.
‘It’s definitely a kwon tactic that’s worth using.’
My memory was too good to be a problem.
Every time he thought of Kwonsik training, he vividly remembered the muscles he was wriggling and the figure of Cayden talking with those muscles.
‘It’s bad for the stomach.’
Ethan’s face was still pale.
That was then.
“Oh, my lord! You are here.”
The butler, who had disappeared to save Fenrir, showed up just then.
“Fortunately, the! The dog was not hurt.”
The butler was bewildered when he learned that Ethan had seen Gwon-gap.
“Ah, you were looking at the gauntlets of Kaden Hanson, one of the Seven Heroes.”
“Yeah, what.”
As if conscious of Ethan being a priest of the Pars Church, the butler struggled to defend his master’s family.
“Originally, it was an object that had a different meaning, but after the collapse of the old empire, the meaning has changed. In that sense, we will always honor the Seven Heroes! Our master has a lot of respect for Kaden Hanson.”
It had nothing to do with Ethan, no matter what the nobleman of this house was thinking.
There was only one thing that mattered to Ethan now.
“Now that it’s done… … .”
“First?”
“Give me some water. I am not feeling well.”
Whether it was fortunate or unlucky to have had contact with Gwon-gap, he had no idea.

smart.
Harold raised his head at the sound of a knock on the office door.
“Come in.”
The butler came into the office and reported.
“It is said that all nobles who were poisoned by the raid have been cured.”
“Fast.”
After a moment’s hesitation, the butler asked Harold.
“Are you really okay?”
“What do you mean?”
“… … .”
The butler could not speak at all.
His owner lost his wife in a raid, and he himself was on the verge of death.
If they were behind the empire’s dregs, they would have been able to resent it.
Most of them are commoners, so even if the investigation into the case proceeds, there is no way to save the opposition of the nobles.
But if you’re behind a dark follower, it’s a different story.
Even if you investigate the case, how will you get them moving in a point organization?
That way, the owner’s anger will have nowhere to go.
“Didn’t you hear it too? The culprit is the dark follower. But will you punish those who have not sinned?”
Harold raised an eyebrow.
“sorry.”
“Go see.”
“yes.”
The butler bowed his head and walked out of the office.
Harold, who was at work, got up and looked out the window.
‘Now that the treatment of the nobles is over, what happened at the banquet has been settled.’
Outside the window stood his daughter in the garden.
It looked like he was going out.
Unlike in the past, things seem to have improved a lot these days.
‘If you go out at this hour… At least I’ll go to that tavern.’
Harold clicked his tongue.
He didn’t like it for my daughter to hang out with common people without hesitation.
‘That too against the remnants of the empire… … .’
But he didn’t bother to stop.
As I recalled the remnants of the Empire, I automatically thought of a saint candidate named Ethan.
Harold muttered quietly.
“Will you be able to handle the things that will happen in the future?”
the young priest.
