Episode 7 – Try the string!(2)
Hans’s eyes, which were swollen and open, hardly shrank.
At the same time, his expression was contorted with astonishment, as if he had seen something that shouldn’t exist.
“What is that face? Did you see a ghost on the way?”
“That, that’s…”
I’m seeing it right now with my own eyes.
Hans forcibly swallowed the words that were about to jump out of him.
Hans looked around in bewilderment.
A bunch of goblins piled up.
Blood was gushing out of some of the corpses, not long after they had died.
A thick smell of blood flowed from it.
“This, what this…”
That’s why Hans couldn’t believe the sight in front of him at all.
Circumstances suggest that this spectacle was none other than Xian’s creation.
Alone too.
But that…
Does it make sense?
It was dozens.
Not ordinary goblins, but dozens of monsters residing in the dark forest.
There were dozens of goblins that Xian lured to save himself.
Hans was sure.
This was a number that even he could not handle.
If you were young, you wouldn’t know again.
It was a very difficult number for me now.
However, dozens of goblin groups were neatly cut and crumbled.
“ah.”
Are you dreaming?
Hans’s thoughts began to run strangely.
Or have I already become senile?
Other than that, I couldn’t explain it at all.
Either that or maybe.
“……Am I dead?”
Hans even thought that maybe he was already dead.
Xian lured a group of goblins for himself.
However, he was unable to deal with the remaining goblins.
He is currently wandering between death and death,
This situation is a dream projected by an earnest wish.
All of these things are like kaleidoscopes that pass before you die. Whoops!
“What the hell is this all about!!”
Hans yelled out loud.
“hahahaha… Were you a little surprised?”
Then, Sian scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
Hans shouted in anger.
“Are you talking a little bit? Looking at this now, do you think it’s a little bit? How the hell is this…! No, more than that, the body! Are you all right!”
“As you can see. No nod.”
Xian pounded his chest as if there was no problem.
Instead of the sound of flesh clashing against Xian’s chest, he heard the dull sound of metal.
sound of iron?
It was only then that Hans was able to see Xian properly.
An unusual looking sword and armor.
“that···?”
“Ah, that’s what you mean.”
Xian showed his sword.
And just then.
Bampara Bam!
Suddenly, a cheerful fanfare sounded from within Xian’s arms.
“huh?”
Xian took out his smartphone and checked it.
A notification window popped up on the smartphone screen like that.
《Tutorial quest cleared!》
There was a notification window saying that the tutorial quest had been cleared.
A quest that tells you to defeat the goblin horde that threatens Ruben’s territory.
“Oh, it’s cleared.”
“······ yes? What do you mean by all of a sudden?”
“Wait a minute, Hans.”
Leaving Hans’ question behind, Xian carefully checked the notification window that popped up.
Hold on.
『[Tutorial Quest] – ‘This is my territory…?’ (clear!)
→You successfully defeated the monsters that attacked the territory!
Pasha pasha!
After all, the lord of Ruben!
He is overflowing with dignity and charisma as a lord!
Can you hear me!
Cheers to you!
I’m sure the villagers will be happy to hear this news!
yes?
Are there any Young Ji-mins in Leuven?
Um… maybe?”
.
.
“······ What?”
Xian felt like his mind went blank for a moment.
That’s what came up on the screen.
Because it was quite noisy.
To be precise, is it frivolous?
“Is the artifact Arnaise left behind correct?”
I don’t think so…
Xian couldn’t easily nod his head.
Tring!
《Tutorial Quest Success!》
《Opening the Territory Management System!》
Soon, a new notification window came up with a cheerful notification sound.
《Synchronizing the system…》
《Collecting the cause and effect of the Ruben estate.》
《This may take some time.》
.
.
《Loading… 7%》
Then, little by little, the numbers started to go up.
Apparently, it seemed to open only when it reached 100%.
I don’t know what the territory management system is, but I thought it would take time.
Xian put the smartphone back into his arms.
“Do, young master…?”
Then Hans’s question came.
Looking at Hans, his expression was full of questions.
hmm···.
“Let’s talk while going back to the manor.”
Xian moved slowly.
#
On the way back to Ruben Manor.
“So, so… is that an artifact left behind by Arnaise?”
Hans stood tall and stopped walking.
Looking at Hans, his expression was more shocked than before.
Xian shrugged once and replied.
“Exactly, that could be the case.”
“Uh, how could that…!”
Then Hans’s expression began to go beyond shock in astonishment.
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t believe Xian’s words.
Even so, even if it was a magic tool, it had enough value to buy a small castle.
Of course, performance varies widely, but
Still, it was not easily obtainable.
And what is Artifact?
Among those magic tools, it was the highest grade called the ultimate.
Artifacts were infinite in value, enough to buy a small kingdom.
As a result, numerous magicians and wizards tried to reproduce the artifact, but it was impossible.
Only artifacts that were lost a thousand years ago remained.
That’s why it’s surprising that it’s already an artifact,
It is even estimated that Arnaise left behind?
It made no sense.
Arnaise were heroes in mythology who were active a thousand years ago.
Literally the heroes in ‘myth’.
They were creatures that only appeared in fairy tales told to children.
It is true that they exist,
Even so, it was a story that was so far away from reality.
Because it was a story in ‘myth’ to the end.
“If you fell from a cave and hurt your head…”
Even Xian’s words were not easily believed.
“I was hurt in the head, but…”
“As expected, how was your mind at that time—”
“It’s not like that. Look at this.”
Xian held out the sword he was holding.
A sword that looks unusual even at first glance.
“How could I have dealt with that many goblin hordes?”
“·······”
Hans shut his mouth tightly.
Honestly… because it was.
It was Hans who knew the talent of the disastrous Xian.
So just before.
He knew better than anyone how absurd the goblin situation was.
For that to make sense…
“I think it makes sense when it comes to the artifacts left by Arnaise.”
“… that’s true, but why does it feel weird?”
“It’s because of my mood.”
Hans replied indifferently.
However, the emotion of surprise on his face still did not disappear.
Even if you say it like that
It was still unbelievable.
‘Hagisa, I still can’t believe it completely.’
Sian sighed and laughed inwardly.
And if.
If this is the artifact left behind by Arnaise, then.
Xian had to thoroughly hide the fact.
Artifact of Arnaise.
Even saying that it was a rare treasure was not enough.
Still, the reason Xian was honest with Hans was simple.
To Xian, Hans was both a butler and a servant,
A friend and caring grandfather.
And because he was someone I could trust more than anyone else.
Without going far, Hans sacrificed himself to save Xian.
From nob le mt l. co m
Just looking at that, I could tell how much Hans cared for Xian.
Whether you hit Xian in the back of the head in the first place.
Or suck the spine.
I should have done it a hundred times already.
I should have betrayed right away.
More than anything else, Xian was the illegitimate and illegitimate son of the marquis.
Xian was a cold meal in the family.
In a word, there was nothing to stick to.
Even so, Hans stayed by Xi’an’s side until now.
“Let’s go back to the manor quickly.”
Sian took a step forward.
Hans moved along the receding cyan.
how long did it take
“But don’t you think there aren’t too many monsters for a forest of darkness?”
Sian broke the silence and spat out the words.
Hans replied with an expression as if asking what he was talking about.
“Have you already forgotten about being chased by a group of goblins just a moment ago?”
“There is nothing other than that. Rumor has it that the Dark Forest is infested with demonic beasts… but I don’t think that’s the case.”
“That’s true, but…”
Hans nodded slowly.
As Xian said, it was true that the Demonic Beast was rarely seen in the dark forest.
“So, aren’t you happy?”
“Well, that’s true, but…”
Xian shrugged once and said.
“It’s not too much. Aren’t bandits showing up anywhere?”
“… What mad thief would appear in the dark forest? But didn’t you say the same thing before?”
Hans looked at Xian with a puzzled expression.
“That is what the word means. I’m about to die of boredom before being killed by a monster.”
“… is that the sound again?”
Hans shook his head and continued.
“Wizards say there is such a thing as speech spirit magic. What are you really going to do when a monster appears? No, it didn’t really show up.”
“The language magic was lost a thousand years ago. It exists only in words, but no one has been able to do it for a thousand years. And if the monster appears again…”
“You will die without doing anything.”
“······ what?”
“That’s not wrong, is it? Ah, now that you have the equipment, I wonder if you can rebel.”
“·······”
Sian kept his mouth shut.
I was wrong… because it wasn’t.
“… anyway, if you can’t say anything.”
“So don’t be bluffing.”
Xian said, stretching all the way.
“You’re too bored.”
“The situation you’re in is sh*t, so what’s wrong with being bored?”
“What’s wrong?”
“·······”
Hans was momentarily at a loss for words.
“So Hans. Come up with something funny.”
What were you thinking…
Hans let out a deep sigh and slowly opened his mouth.
“Did I tell you about my grandmother?”
“Grandma? Is Hans married?”
Xian tilted his head.
That, too, is in Xi’an’s memory.
Because Hans was always alone.
Hans had been with Xi’an since childhood.
Hans was a skilled mercenary.
It was not long after Xian was born that Hans settled down in Ellandur.
According to rumors, it was because he received some great favor from Cecile, Xian’s mother…
Because he hadn’t talked about himself so much, Xian didn’t know what that grace was.
Even if you ask Cecile, she just smiles.
no one said anything
I was very curious at first, but
At some point, Xian didn’t care much.
“It’s an old story. It was before I met Cecil.”
Cecil is none other than Xian’s mother.
In a word, before Xian was born.
Hans meant that he had separated from his wife for some reason.
“I don’t really want to hear a sad ending. As Hans said, the situation we are in is damn right, but I thought it would be a sad ending for no reason.”
“It is a happy ending. I don’t know how nice it would be to not have to see that bad old woman’s faceplate.”
“okay?”
If so, the story is different.
I was suddenly intrigued.
“What happened?”
“That’s why…”
Right then.
For an instant, my vision began to open to the scenery ahead.
“Well, it looks like we are all in the manor.”
“I know.”
Sian nodded slightly.
Then he looked at Hans as if to tell him to speak.
However, Hans’ face was somehow hardened.
“I can feel the popularity…”
“Pretending to be popular? no way. who would be here It must be because of my mood.”
“I’ll go quickly and check it out.”
“no. you can go slow What is so urgent?”
Hans opened his mouth with a worried expression.
“Well, something is strange. Bocchan, please wait here for a while.”
“No, Hans! Let’s talk and go! Hans!”
However, Hans did not stop his walking steps as if Xian’s words were spilling over his ears.
This f*cking inspiration.
Now it’s not the young master or anything.
Xian clicked his tongue and quickly followed Hans.
#
Xian followed Hans into the Ruben estate.
And Xian was able to find people gathered in the center of the manor.
Of course, I wondered if Yeongji was rightly called the center because he had so many prodigies.
To be honest, the word ruins was more appropriate than territory, but…
well, anyway.
dozens of males and slightly fewer females.
Occasionally, there were also people who looked like old people and children.
Perhaps they were the people of Ruben’s territory.
Youngjimin huddled together and were talking about something.
“Here, the goblins are dead.”
“What, what?”
“I-what the hell is this…?”
Apparently, they were talking about the goblin horde that Xian and Hans had dealt with.
Xian and Hans looked at each other once.
Then, he slowly moved towards the Yeongji people.
When I wanted to get closer like that.
The Yeongji people found Xi’an.
