Chapter 62 – Marquis of Ellandur (2)
how much time has passed
The soldier who went inside the mansion reappeared with someone.
An old man in a neat attire.
It was none other than Lelith, the governor of the Ellandur family.
Of course, even when Xian was in the family, he was someone he knew.
Xian lowered his head slightly and said.
“long time no see.”
“long time no see. How have you been?”
“Well, as you can see.”
Xian shrugged and replied.
And then he didn’t speak at all.
Because I didn’t feel the reason.
No matter how he looked, Lelith was Isabel’s closest aide.
Literally, it’s been a long time since we met.
It wasn’t a friendly relationship.
Lelith didn’t know that either, so he didn’t say anything different.
“You have worked hard to come this far. come this way I will guide you.”
Xian followed Lelith into Ellandur’s mansion.
#
I felt it even outside the mansion.
The inside of the mansion was also not very different from Xian’s memories.
At least the placement of the ornaments has changed?
To be honest, I wasn’t sure about this either.
Did you honestly pay attention to the arrangement of the ornaments?
Of course, those who manage the mansion don’t know, but it wasn’t Xi’an.
Inside the mansion, not so different from memories.
Xian followed Lelith through the corridors of the mansion.
And whenever I walked down the hallway, I could come across maids and attendants working in the mansion.
Most of them looked at Lelith and bowed their heads,
Some of those who knew Xian’s face looked quite surprised.
Xian casually passed them by.
and.
“Isn’t that guy… Master Xian?”
A whisper came from behind.
“right? Didn’t I see something wrong?”
“Didn’t you leave for Leuven…?”
I muttered in a low voice so that no one else could hear.
Bondi’s own name sounds like thunder even in the midst of the crowded noise.
“Why did you come back?”
Xian could hear their whispering conversation.
But Xian didn’t care too much.
Well, because you might be curious.
In the first place, I was curious about Xian himself.
Why the hell did Durac call?
Of course, they didn’t seem to know that Durak had called.
That’s why Xian started to draw and moved on.
I guess it wasn’t Lerritt.
“Who told you to mention Elandur’s name in the mansion?”
Lelith, who was walking ahead, stopped.
“I’m sorry!”
“U-Stop without us knowing…!”
Then, the courtiers who had been whispering were terrified and looked surprised.
Lelith strode towards them.
Even though Xian is an illegitimate child.
Xian was the one with the name of Ellandur.
An existence that users should not carelessly mention.
That’s why Lelith just said one thing…
“At the mansion, they told me to close my eyes and cover my ears. Would you really come to your senses if you pluck out your eyes and cut off your ears?”
I thought that was a little too far out.
“Sah, save me.”
“Wrong!”
The maids prostrated themselves on the floor.
Of course, he really wasn’t going to goug out his eyes and cut off his ears.
It’s not because it’s excessive, it’s because it’s severe.
However, it seemed that he would receive a severe punishment.
Even when Xian was in the family, these things often happened.
In any case, it seemed like I would definitely pay for it if I left it like this.
“Don’t do that.”
Xian took a step forward and stopped Lelith.
“I don’t really care. If you’re doing it because of me, you don’t have to do it either.”
No, but to be honest, I’m just saying it.
Xian wondered if he had to say even one word like that.
That would be the case, did they curse Xian or what did they do?
Xian, who had just left, suddenly came back,
I was curious about that, so I thought ‘what’s going on…’ Aren’t they whispering among themselves?
But to gouge out his eyes and cut off his ears with something like that.
Of course it’s not really like that, but isn’t it a bit harsh though?
In the Empire, insulting nobles was a serious crime.
Like I said, it wasn’t an insult.
More than anything, Xian didn’t really care.
Reuben’s territories whispered over Xian every time.
Of course, it’s not that I’m whispering in a bad way.
Isn’t that the same for them now?
And is it just that the people of Leuven are whispering?
At the festival, Duras, a soldier of the Territory, mocked Xian.
By this logic, Durras had to be amputated.
“They raised the name of Ellandur indiscriminately. It deserves to be punished.”
However, Lelith didn’t seem to think so.
Anyway, yes or now.
This bastard’s Elandur hadn’t changed.
“It’s okay, so just move on.”
Xian kept saying it was okay, but
Even so, Lelith did not break her will.
And somewhere in the figure… there was a sign of ignoring Xian.
It was only then that Xian was able to guess Lelith’s hidden intentions.
Somehow, I wanted to go too far.
Sian quietly opened his mouth.
“I made it clear that I was fine. Are you ignoring me right now?”
“·······”
Seeing the sudden change in Xian’s appearance, Lelith was speechless without realizing it.
Xi’an’s expression is no different from usual.
However, Lelith could feel a certain sense of intimidation from Xian.
An illegitimate child who only watched.
The dullest talent in the world without a single ability.
Xian in Lelith’s memory was not like this.
That’s why I didn’t know Xian would come out so strong.
In the past, Xian used to just hesitate about things like this and lose his temper.
So it still had to be.
Although I heard that it has changed.
To be honest, I thought it was okay.
But now…
Of course, the maids were at fault, but
It was also true that he acted forcefully, ignoring Xian’s words that he was fine.
And to ignore Xian’s words was to disobey Elandur.
It could be said that Lelith’s fault was greater than the maids’ fault.
As if pointing out that part, Xian calmly looked at Lelith.
Lelith couldn’t say anything.
Xian turned his head again and spoke to the ladies-in-waiting.
“This time it will pass, but next time it won’t. So always be careful.”
“Go, thank you.”
“Thank you, Master Xian.”
Will the ladies-in-waiting get another book?
Suddenly, it disappeared out of sight.
“Let’s go.”
“·······”
Lelith really had nothing to say.
different.
It is very different from the previous Xian.
I wonder if this is the same person.
Laritte had a thought involuntarily.
There is no old Cian Elandour.
There is no Xian who is incompetent and only notices.
Xian now…
“What are you doing?”
Xian’s voice.
Lelith tried to deny the thoughts that came to her mind.
#
Xian stepped out for the ladies-in-waiting.
Something similar to this happening quickly spread throughout the mansion.
Of course, the ladies-in-waiting who were involved in the incident kept their mouths shut.
I just made fun of my mouth and almost did something.
How long has it been since you started making fun of me again?
However, there were quite a few servants in the Ellandur Mansion besides those two.
There were not one or two servants who accidentally witnessed the scene while wandering around.
Rumors began to spread quickly by such people.
“I heard that Bocchan Xian scolded the commander-in-chief in a big way?”
“really? why?”
“You say you hit the workers too much.”
Of course, when rumors spread, things change a little bit.
However, the overall framework did not change significantly.
“I happened to see that scene from afar? Xian-nim is really scolding the commander-in-chief… I’m honestly a little moved.”
“He is. Why are you moved?”
“No, it is. To be honest, when it comes to Master Xian, there are people like us, no more, no more. These are stupid things. Why would you go so far?”
“That’s true, but…”
“Even so, you dare to step out like that… Do you want to become Master Xian’s exclusive lady-in-waiting while feeling the sadness you’ve received so far?”
The days spent courting the aristocrats.
No matter how prestigious the nobles are.
There were almost no servants who did not receive insults and contempt from the nobility.
“This b*tch. He is reputed to be an idiot, so what are you going to do?”
“huh? Ah, you came in after Master Xian left, so you don’t know. Master Xian is not really an idiot.”
“What do you mean?”
“That’s actually…”
Rumors about Xian began to spread throughout the mansion.
and the party to the rumor.
“What are you doing after calling me?”
Xian sat in the room bored, unaware that such rumors were circulating in the mansion.
There was no other reason.
Durak has been away for a while.
The head of Elandur, Durak.
I knew that he was a very busy person.
What does it mean to call first and leave the seat?
They say they’ll be back soon…
“Ehh.”
What should I do?
I can’t go back like this though.
We’ll have to wait until Durak returns.
of course.
“I’ll have to look around to see what happened.”
I had no intention of sitting still and waiting.
Xian slowly rose from his seat.
And click, let’s open the door to the room.
Several maids waiting in front of the door looked startled.
“Anything you need?”
And the attitude of asking was quite active.
The excessively bright eyes seemed to be telling me to just say anything.
Literally, it seemed like he would do anything if he just said it.
‘Come on?’
Xian tilted his head and opened his mouth.
“To look around the mansion for a while.”
“ah···.”
The ladies-in-waiting let out exclamations and asked again.
“Do you need some guidance?”
“no. are you okay.”
Xian shook his head.
I’ve lived in this mansion for many years longer than Ruben, but what kind of guide?
Because I didn’t know that they were maids.
I didn’t ask for more.
“Would you like to know where you are going?”
“Tell me you are going to see the White Wolf Knights.”
Saying that, Xian immediately moved on.
White Wolf Orders.
A knight who belongs to the Marquis of Ellandur.
They were the best knights in the empire, on par with the imperial family’s Royal Knights.
And the reason Xian headed there was simple.
‘Because Ruben has to make an order of knights soon.’
Due to the current situation in Xi’an, some of them reached the level of knights.
I think I made the Knight Academy Lv.1.
By completing achievements, you can also improve your A-rank Aura practice method.
It’s time for Ruben to make a good knights now.
The white wolf knights of Ellandur, called the continent’s first knights.
How does this White Wolf Knights work?
how else does it work.
This is why he came to Ellandur.
If you refer to all the things you need to refer to, it will be a sufficient guide for later digging.
Xian crossed the corridor with light steps.
The white wolf knights’ gymnasium arrived in that way.
Kang! Cacan!
“Isn’t the tip of the sword shaking! again!”
visor!
There were many knights wielding swords.
Those who train alone, of course.
Even those who fight against each other.
And you see…
It seemed that most of the trainees were apprentice knights.
However, even apprentice knights were skilled users with an intermediate level or higher.
Other than Elandur, they could be treated as skilled knights.
However, the White Wolf Knights, which only those with skills of Expert or higher can join.
It was at the level of an apprentice knight here.
Thus, they were apprentice knights only in words, but in fact they were no different from knights.
“It’s brutal.”
Maybe that’s why it gave off energy that made me wonder if it was training.
And the knights who discovered Xian’s appearance.
For an instant, the eyes of the knights were focused on Xian.
“Sian… young boy?”
“Why are you here?”
Each of the knights recalled a questioning expression.
And as if to represent the questions of those articles.
“No, who is this?”
A familiar voice came from behind Xian.
And Sian let out a deep sigh without even realizing it.
Because it was a voice I couldn’t hear.
The place where I slowly turned my back and looked at it.
just as expected.
“Aren’t you my brother?”
The third and second son of the Ellandur family.
And Sian’s older brother, Nathan Ellandur, was slowly walking toward Sian.
It seemed that Nathan, with his wet hair, was also training.
No, to be precise, I wonder if he was training.
Or if he was teaching apprentice knights, he did not know.
Anyway, Nathan stood in front of Xian.
Sian slowly opened his mouth, hiding his troubling emotions.
“See you again.”
“Okay, see you again.”
Nathan immediately stood in front of Xian.
At some point, the knights stopped wielding their swords.
He was looking at Xian and Nathan with interest.
“I haven’t heard of coming to the mansion.”
“I stopped by the mansion for a while for work. Then I came here to see if I had some time left to look at the knights.”
“caliber? You mean the White Wolf Knights?”
Then it was Nathan, who smiled and smiled.
Xian nodded and said.
“I will take care of it so as not to interfere with the training. I don’t care. Enough then.”
Xian turned around and walked away.
But anyway.
Nathan blocked Xian’s way.
“I met my older brother, but if I go in such a hurry, I will use it.”
“You weren’t training, were you?”
“What is training? He was teaching the apprentice knights a lesson.”
Nathan is an expert intermediate level.
He was enough to teach apprentice knights.
Then Nathan smiled and said.
“How are you? While visiting the Knights, it was a simple way to warm up with this older brother. I will personally give you some guidance.”
No, no one can see.
He seemed to be keeping in mind what had happened at the banquet hall during the National Foundation Day event.
To be honest, I had guessed that Nathan would be like that from the moment we met.
And I knew it would come back like this.
However, I was wondering what kind of excuse he would make.
Excuses are bullsh*t.
It was nothing more than an outright revenge.
“I don’t like it.”
That’s why Xian refused at once without any hesitation.
Of course, Xian had no intention of responding to that play.
But did he not know that Xian would firmly refuse?
“Didn’t Kai intervene and couldn’t decide the decision… what?”
Again, Nathan looked very upset.
Perhaps Nathan thought Xian would make an excuse.
But what is there to make excuses for?
If you don’t want to do it, stop doing it.
“I don’t. What am I doing sparring with my older brother? I’m busy with something to do right now.”
He had to look around the White Wolf Knights before Durak returned.
Various facilities including gymnasium.
I didn’t have time for sparring to see all of them.
It was just a waste of time. waste of time.
“·······”
Nathan was speechless for a moment.
“Are you sure you’re pulling your back now?”
“yes.”
“All knights can’t choose a match… What?”
Nathan’s expression was once again dumbfounded.
But what can I do if I can’t decide the outcome from earlier?
The moment he used the aura, Nathan was defeated.
However, if I tried to examine it, it only hurt my mouth.
“It’s okay to cut back.”
“What is that…”
“At that time, if it was because of not being able to decide the outcome, I lost. It’s your victory, so you can spread rumors around the neighborhood.”
Xian turned his back without hesitation.
And Nathan stared blankly at Xian.
What do you mean by spreading rumors that he won Xian?
Xi’an is a world-class dunjae who has not even reached the level of a beginner.
On the other hand, he was in the middle of the expert level.
It was meaningless to discuss the level in the first place.
How resentful he must have been when he was defeated by Xian.
So, this was a kind of self-esteem recovery.
But when Xi’an comes out like that…
Xian continued to walk.
Because I had no intention of doing sparring or anything like that.
“Are you still Elandur?”
Then Nathan’s words came again.
No, why is he so soggy?
“If you take off your tail, will you cease to be Elandur? It’s good. Then, I will not play Ellandur from today. I don’t know if that will happen.”
And since when did you treat Elandur?
Xian resumed his paused steps.
“I-i-i…!”
Then, he felt Nathan shake from behind.
Right then.
“If you beat me, I’ll give you 100,000 gold.”
tall.
Xi’an’s footsteps stopped.
gaze.
There, I saw Nathan smiling.
As if it took! It looked like he was saying.
I thought it reminded me of gambling at the banquet hall…
“But this time I will use an aura. Instead, try not to use one hand still.”
Nathan looked at Xian as if wondering what to do.
No, to be precise, before even looking at Xian.
“500,000.”
Xian’s resolute voice, as if there was no bargaining, came first.
“Or not.”
#
As in the last banquet hall, the sparring took place quickly.
Only the place is different.
Almost everything is the same situation.
There were two things that were different from then.
That apprentice knights have no stakes.
And Nathan was using Aurors.
It is also true that Nason experienced the power of Xian’s sword at the last banquet hall.
A mysterious sword that unleashes the power of Aura.
Knowing that, the same trick as last time didn’t work.
“The player… no, since I use an aura, I’ll give up two moves. Try your best.”
“Well, I won’t decline.”
Xian didn’t hesitate.
By the looks of it, Nathan seemed confident of his victory.
Well, I just did it.
If you think about the draft in the banquet hall.
Ruben has undergone numerous changes due to his many talents.
And Xian also had a lot of changes.
Let’s take a look at some of the most notable ones.
The first is that Xian is learning the beginner course beyond the introduction to the Mahon Sura sword.
The second is that Xian can now use Aura while dealing with the magic of the magic spirit method.
and the last third.
Xian slowly drew his sword.
A sharp blade that exudes black energy.
Xian immediately raised the demon.
Spaaa!!
Then, Xian’s sword shook with an aura like darkness.
All the knights who saw it opened their eyes.
“Oh, oh, come?!”
“You say Master Xian can use an aura?”
“So you’re saying you’ve reached the level of a beginner?”
Because that was an obvious aura.
It didn’t even end there.
burrr!!
The aura inside the sword began to vibrate greatly.
Eventually, a sword body was formed.
“Aura Sword!!!”
A knight shouted in a startled tone.
“Nonsense! How the hell!!”
“This, this, this can’t happen!!!”
At the same time, the entire gymnasium turned upside down.
That’s right, the aura sword is just below the aura blade.
In other words, it was a power that could only be used by beings who had reached the level of expert.
But is it being used by known cyans who have not even entered the beginner list?
“Yes, yes, how did you…!!”
Nathan was stunned.
Of course, Xian wasn’t using an aura sword.
Xian was still only a beginner in terms of his level of achievement.
This is none other than the power of an SS grade sword through reinforcement.
And to borrow the expression of Semir, a descendant of the Goddess Morkru.
This SS grade sword is comparable to Semir’s masterpiece.
It was truly a ‘crazy sword’.
The aura of the demonic form shimmers.
A bit thicker than the Aura Sword.
and more explosive.
“Hey, wait…!”
Confused, Nathan took a step backwards involuntarily.
But it was already too late.
Quick!
The sword of Xian approached before my eyes.
aaagh!
A terrible explosion reverberated throughout the arena.
