General Blair could be punished for breaking the law and betraying his oath in accordance with the Knights of Caladon Convention.

Because there was nothing more contrary to ‘chivalry’ than raiding an elf village for gold.

But, Harang knows.

There is no point in doing it that way.

‘Is it necessary to punish a knight like that just because he is not knightly?’

In order for a knight to be a knight, he must never be tied down by his family.

The only true knights are those who operate outside the framework of their families, and among knights from noble families, there were very few knights who truly pursued chivalry.

However, Earl Blair was aristocratic.

Unlike knights, nobles pursue utility and profit, value etiquette and law, and treat authority, honor, and gold as the highest values… … Although Earl Blair was not knightly, he could be considered a true nobleman.

‘Rather than having to publicize Count Blair’s atrocities, it might be better to lead the way in a different way.’

Returning to his hometown does not change the fact that Harang’s power is weak.

‘If I were a true warrior in spirit, would I have forgiven Count Blair for his atrocities?’

If we forgive, by whose standards should we do it?

By human standards?

Or by elf standards?

As each race pursued a different path, from a racial perspective, it was quite common sense that different races would fight in a bloody battle in this world.

If there were a warrior who saved our people from another race, that warrior would be a hero to his people, but from the perspective of other races, he would be no different from a murderer.

‘A hero recognized by one race is not a true warrior.’

If you defend the elf village and punish Count Blair, you can become a hero for the elves, but you cannot become a hero for humans.

The most reasonable plan is to reach an agreement that is acceptable to Count Blair and the elf village.

Haran asked him as Count Blair’s army watched.

“I wonder if there is a good reason for this war that Count Blair is waging.”

“… … .”

The Count could not say anything.

“If there is no valid reason, I will listen even if it is not valid.”

“… … “It was for the gold.”

“It’s gold.”

Harang nodded.

“Waging war to extort gold has historically been considered a ‘good reason.’ However, a family that has pledged chivalry must no longer recklessly wage war for the purpose of gold. “You’re not going to say you forgot, are you?”

“There is no other excuse.”

Earl Blair admitted his mistake. Because he couldn’t find an answer by asking ugly questions.

Since Harang was missing anyway, it would have been better to destroy the evidence by killing him, but that was extremely unnoble and it was hard to know how these many soldiers would change if they saw their master’s ‘unchivalrous appearance’.

If he did something like that, it would quickly become known because so many eyes would be watching.

Perhaps that young master knows that fact, which is why he uses his authority appropriately even in such a remote place.

You might think that he was simply a young master who thoughtlessly abused his authority, but considering his age, he contained deep wisdom in every word he said, so it was impossible to think that way.

In that case, the disposition is of course… … .

The moment Count Blair predicted a dark future, Harang said something unexpected.

“but. “I do not plan to tell my family about the atrocities committed by Lord Blair.”

“… … “Are you sincere?”

Harang nodded.

“Please rest assured that we are not planning to take advantage of your weaknesses by putting you in debt. All I ask is that you repent and swear that you will never invade an elven village in the future. As a bonus, I would like you to take protective measures if other human forces threaten this place.”

“Why so much… … .”

“Because I have received many blessings here.”

At Harang’s words, Elder Withelin shuddered and trembled.

She felt a deep sense of guilt because she had just tried to attack Harang and take advantage of him.

Although he did not know the truth, there was no reason for Count Blair not to accept it, so he drew his sword and raised it vertically.

“Compared to the favor that His Excellency Confucius bestowed on me, this is a very easy task. I swear by my sword. From now on, the elf village Redelia Garden will be protected under the name of Count Blair.”

“I like that the story is fast. As I was returning from a long journey, I was tired. “I would like to visit the count’s castle and have a meal.”

“Let’s prepare the banquet.”

“no. That’s okay. “I have to return to my home as soon as possible, so a simple meal is enough.”

“Oh, right… … If that is the case, we will arrange transportation to the Central Continent. Would you like to go right now?”

“… … .”

Harang slowly looked back and nodded.

“Yes, right now.”

As Harang began to leave without saying goodbye, Elder Withelin was very embarrassed. It was the same with Sadela.

Passing on the human army was more than just a thankless act, it was a very deep grace.

As Elder Withelin, it was as if Harang had taken care of the two accidents that occurred due to the atrocities he had committed, but he could not let him go like this.

“Now, wait a minute! Are you planning to go back without stopping by the village?”

When Sadella shouted first, Harang stopped and looked back. She hurriedly continued her words.

“It’ll only take a moment. When I return to the village, I’m sure everyone will cheer. You are a hero who saved our home. Even the fairies will bless you… … .”

But Harang only smiled faintly.

“Because I don’t have much time.”

“still… … .”

Jerk-! While Sadella was saying something, Elder Withelin stepped forward first. At the same time, he snatched up a box that Sadella was still holding in her arms.

Because it was a box containing a golden branch of the World Tree, Sadella and even the elf warriors who were watching were shocked.

Elder Withelin walked in front of Harang, opened the box, and handed it over directly.

“This should have been yours, but I showed my ugly side.”

“… … .”

Harang also seemed a little surprised by her sudden change and opened his eyes.

Harang knew that the golden branch was very important to the elf village, so he had no intention of causing internal strife to receive it, but the story would be different if she handed it to him herself.

Even with the best elf warriors watching, Elder Withelin personally hands it over… … It will have a much greater meaning than being paid by a woman looking at the stars on her own.

This was clearly a sign that the ‘change’ in the elf village was about to begin!

“… … Yes, I will accept it gratefully.”

Knowing full well that she had made a big decision and was giving her the golden branch, Harang willingly accepted it without refusing, at least out of courtesy.

Soon, Elder Withelin showed the courtesy he only showed to the best spiritist, and all the elf warriors followed suit and showed the same courtesy to Harang.

After receiving their greetings, Harang turned his back and left without a word.

“ah… … .”

Looking at the footsteps of Harang, who had completely left, Sadella let out a sigh.

It’s the same when you arrive and it’s the same when you leave.

How could it be like that… … .

“It feels like the wind, doesn’t it?”

“… … !!”

Sadella raised her head at the sound of a voice coming from above her head.

Avalanche, the wolf spirit creature, was lying on a cloud he had created and eating an apple.

“Are you not leaving together?”

“I have to follow. “He moves around so frantically that my pace is a little slow to keep up with him.”

A spirit that has lived for hundreds of years feels like everything is slow. Even the 10 years that the rivers and mountains change were only a very short period of time for the spirits, but the human boy who lived every moment did not waste every minute.

While elves and other long-lived species walk leisurely through the world as if taking a leisurely stroll, that boy was running through the world at full speed.

‘If I have to follow you around from now on, I’m going to be really tired.’

However, there was no doubt that just by following him around, he would have a great influence on Avalanche as a spirit creature.

Every time something happened, whether it was in the frigid land or this small incident, Avalanche began to see little by little the path to becoming a Guardian.

‘As expected, it was good to watch.’

Avalanche floated up with a grin and flew towards Harang, who was heading towards the Count’s Castle. Sadella, who had been watching quietly from behind, slowly turned her head and looked at the elf warriors.

“… … Everyone, let’s return.”

Unlike those who roam the world freely, elves had work to do within the village.

Now, thanks to Harang, she may be able to receive protection from Count Blair. Sadella was planning to actively push for change by opening up the village.

“There will be a lot more work to do in the future.”

* * *

Although he had been invited to the count’s castle, Harang prepared to leave immediately after a simple meal. In the process, it was a bonus that he was able to shower and groom himself in a good facility for the first time in a long time.

“Could you please transform into a wolf this time and take me there?”

When Harang asked Avalanche that question, he shook his head in disgust.

“That’s not possible. When crossing the sea, it didn’t matter because no one was watching, but Guardians shouldn’t easily be noticed by the worldly people.”

“Is there such a thing?”

“Well, if something big happens that will greatly affect the fate of the continent, it’s quite possible, right?”

“What happens if I break it?”

“… … “I don’t know?”

Avalanche is not a Guardian yet, so they don’t know what’s going on.

“Well, there’s nothing I can do about it.”

“Don’t worry, Your Majesty. “If you board the express train we have prepared, you will soon be able to bypass the ‘Barendal Battleground’ and go to the center.”

Why did Harang suddenly ask Avalanche for a ride?

That was because a major war broke out on the road from the north to the center. It was said that various conflicts were spreading between different races and human nobles, and that the Barendal battlefield, where dozens of forces were involved, was not easy to pass through.

Of course, using direct trains or flying boats is impossible. At the very least, there may be a warp gate, but such a thing is not installed in all places unless it is a powerful country in the central continent.

“Still, we will be able to announce the news of Prince Harang’s return first.”

Harang shook his head at Count Blair’s words. He reacted as if he had expected it.

“Unless the news of his survival turns out to be completely true, the risk will be greater. The forces that attacked Prince Confucius before may appear, or… … .”

The Count remained silent.

This was because he did not dare to say that he might be attacked by his fellow Caladun blood relatives.

“Anyway, thank you for your consideration.”

With those words, Harang immediately boarded the train. As soon as he arrived at Baekjeongsa without a moment to catch his breath, Count Blair watched him leave after a brief maintenance. Many thoughts came to Count Blair.

‘As expected, rumors aren’t everything.’

In the world, Harang was simply known as a swordsman genius of the century who emerged from the Kaladan family. However, his true talent was not simply his swordsmanship talent.

‘He is someone who has something that can sway people.’

Although the first meeting was not a good one, Count Blair, who immediately learned from a brief meeting that Harang’s craftsmanship was unique, knew that maintaining a friendly relationship with him would be helpful.

Harang tried to protect Redelia Garden. What did he really want?

Was it simply a matter of protecting them in the name of Count Blair?

Probably not.

I just didn’t say it out loud because it wasn’t realistic.

“… … Sooner or later, I will have to try interacting with Redelia Garden.”

As Count Blair walked away while saying that, the adjutant looked embarrassed.

“It must be difficult because they have bad feelings towards us… … ?”

“Either pour money or manpower. “You will find a way if you find it.”

“Wouldn’t the loss be greater than the benefit gained through exchange?”

“I guess so. However, if I succeed, the benefit of interacting with elves is an advantage, but I think I will be able to gain even more.”

for example.

Such as the trust of Prince Harang.

If only I could get it… … .

The Blair family will be able to leap even higher than now.

* * *

… … Meanwhile, the palace of Calambrinho.

Taran Kal Aradella, who oversees various positions as the family’s head butler, received an unexpected letter from the magic world.

To summarize the contents of the letter, it was as follows.

‘The magical views and unique magic presented by Duke Caladhan at this year’s Culday Conference were truly outstanding. Now, he has shown incredible magic that makes it hard to believe that he has just entered the world of magic. If only a little more time passes, he will be able to threaten the prestigious magic family.

Although it was all praise, Taran interpreted the letter a little differently.

‘Your magic was amazing, but it still falls a little short of the magic masters. ‘You guys are great, but we’re even better!’

It was a truly childish battle of nerves.

‘Whenever you get so scared after seeing our magic, you write a letter like this.’

Kaladun’s magic boasts a very long tradition, and it has shown technological prowess that rivals that of renowned magic families.

As a result, wasn’t it enough to surprise wizards from famous magic families by showing off its status at this world-class gathering of wizards, the Culday Conference?

All of this happened while Harang was missing, so it was truly a shame. If Master was in the family, he would have wanted to attend too… … .

Especially the last part broke his heart even more.

‘… … However, the [magic swordsmanship] that Confucius Harang demonstrated was truly excellent. It was a real shame that the above magic wasn’t announced at the Culday conference. Currently discussing the review of original magic. ‘I recommend an official announcement in a journal as soon as possible.’

They seemed to have mistakenly thought that [Magic Sword Art] was Kaladun’s magic, but since it was magic created by Harang, it was impossible to announce it unless he returned.

He was a master with a natural talent who created a groundbreaking magic called magic swordsmanship at the age of only fourteen.

At the time of his early death, he had not yet been able to unfold his will to the world.

“Whoa…” … .”

Taran felt uncomfortable and sighed deeply.

‘If you were alive, you would have definitely envisioned a bright future.’

The deadline for Master Harang’s death was fast approaching, and Taran no longer had any hope.

Some said

If someone with such brilliant talent is born, even God would be jealous of him and he would be destined to live a short life.

“okay… … “Your short life was also fate.”

Taran gave up all hope that Harang would be alive.

Hoping for him to be alive any longer would just be a waste of time… … .
