The ultra-luxurious express train arranged by Count Blair was a first-class train that only aristocrats and wealthy merchants could ride. Not only was it fast, but the concise route that went directly to the destination and the service on the train were, of course, the best.

“Hey, do trains even provide food these days?”

Avalanche, sitting in the seat next to Harang, let out a series of exclamations.

The thick steak, which was grilled crispy on the outside, was very soft, and the slightly spicy pasta suited the taste of Harang, who is originally from Korea. She felt like calling the chef and praising him.

Of course, the quantity was too small.

The knights basically ate so much food that they could not fill their stomachs with just one piece of meat.

But excessive greed leads to anger. Unless it was time for battle, this amount of meal was enough, so Harang, who was wiping his mouth with a handkerchief and organizing the utensils, tilted his head when he saw Avalanche’s dishes.

“… … “Aren’t you going to eat that?”

Avalanche was not chewing the steak, but the asparagus on top. While eating all the garnishes that made the food look good, such as tomatoes, broccoli, and paprika, he didn’t even touch the steak.

“huh? Because I don’t like cooked meat. “The vegetables here are amazing and good, aren’t they?”

“… … .”

I heard wolf spirit creatures don’t eat meat.

It was unavoidable because grilling and eating meat itself was an awkward abalone, but it was a waste to leave it as is.

“Shall I give it to you?”

Nod. As Harang shook her head up and down, Avalanche seemed to find the sight very amusing, grinning and holding out her bowl.

Harang picks up his knife and fork again and begins to eat elegantly.

“You eat really well.”

“… … .”

Harang didn’t answer. She also disliked talking with food in her mouth, as it was against the etiquette of the nobility.

“Is grilled meat that delicious?”

After finishing his meal quickly, Harang wiped his lips with his handkerchief and spoke again.

“They say it was cooked over fire.”

“Isn’t that what it is? “Can’t I just eat it raw?”

“The human stomach is too fragile to digest raw meat.”

“Okay, whatever. If you have a weak stomach, you can burn it and eat it. But, I was eating rice once and this dressing… … “I really don’t know why you sprinkle the same thing and eat it?”

“If you can feel a little happiness by investing in these things every time you eat, it is very cost-effective.”

“… … Investing in small happiness. Hmm.”

Suddenly, Avalanche spoke less. Did he at least feel something from Harang’s words? Whether he did that or not, Harang was thinking about something else.

‘wine… … .’

The nobles of this world could drink alcohol even at a young age. Most of the time, wine or vodka was on the table instead of water. However, Harang did not particularly enjoy alcohol such as wine.

Harang, who was quietly looking at the wine, asked Avalanche about something that suddenly occurred to him.

“… … “Anyway, why are you following me?”

Yes. The reason Avalanche came to the Central Continent in the first place was to take Harang to an appointment, and there was no reason for him to continue following him around.

“Well, well… … You said you made a contract with the spirit, but your body is still unstable. “It hasn’t completely calmed down, right?”

That was correct. Even though he signed a contract with the Chaos Spirit Emperor, the coldness in Harang’s body did not completely subside.

“I plan to take you to the Heavenly Palace. Well, now they say I have to go home, so I’m just going to follow along. “The coldness you carry means that if you go out of your way by mistake, it will cause a lot of trouble.”

“Heavenly Palace… … .”

“It’s a very beautiful place. There are fairies, there are gurus, and there are immortals. “It’s quite boring, though.”

Harang pondered as he looked at the glass filled with wine. In order to handle this natural energy, it was already necessary to receive teachings from someone, and the Heavenly Palace seemed very appropriate.

Moreover, for a long time, there was a reason to visit the Heavenly Palace at least once… … .

“It’s okay. “Heavenly Palace.”

“Oh, really? “I heard that you human knights don’t have a very good relationship with the Heavenly Palace.”

It was true.

The Heavenly Palace was practically a gigantic swordsmanship studio, but it had one unique characteristic: it was a group of Taoist practitioners.

They trained martial arts in the same way as the knight families on earth, but because they were Taoists, their personalities were bound to clash with the knights.

Therefore, in the past, it was said that a duel would inevitably break out when the monks and knights of the Heavenly Palace encountered each other, so the relationship was like that of a dog and a monkey. Therefore, for a Harang of the Kaladan bloodline, the most prestigious family among knights, to go up there would be met with quite a lot of attention.

“They probably hate you so much. “You better be more relaxed.”

“… … “It can’t be helped.”

Still, I had to endure it because the teachings of the Heavenly Palace Daoists were absolutely necessary.

“Anyway, why don’t you take out what you got this time?”

“You mean the golden branches of the World Tree?”

“Yeah, that one. “Aren’t you curious about what it’s like?”

Harang snapped his fingers and opened a subspace. She took out her armour, opened it, and brilliant golden light poured into the train.

Harang hastily looks around at his surroundings. Fortunately, the other nobles did not care about this.

“Why are you so observant?”

“If you carry something precious like this, troublesome things are bound to happen.”

Harang carefully touched the golden branch here and there.

The World Tree was not just a tree, but a ‘guardian’. Therefore, the tree branch that fell from it had astronomical value, and what was more, the golden thing that shined contained tremendous energy.

It is said that the chieftains of Redelia Garden used it like a staff when using elemental magic, but honestly, I thought it would be a great waste if they were going to use it for that purpose.

“How are you going to use it?”

“This is a rare processing material that does not exist anywhere else in the world. If you mix it with other ingredients and hit it with a hammer… … “A great sword will be born.”

“As expected, you are a prosecutor to your core. You’re trying to smelt that precious thing into a sword. “Maybe if the wizards see it, they’ll start drooling and rush at me?”

Harang chuckled.

“I already have the best cane in the world, so I don’t need another one.”

He looked at the golden branches with sparkling eyes. If you were to make a sword with this sacred material that contains the power of the Guardian, what a great sword it would be.

“Oh, that’s right.”

After putting the tree branch back into subspace, Harang took out a book.

While completing the quest in the North, I received the ‘Caladun Weapon Skills Lesson Plan’ and the ‘Caladun Fighting Skills Lesson Plan’.

Weapon skills had already been put into my head through [Skill Book Acquisition], and fighting skills were still there, but skill book acquisition was something I was waiting for because I couldn’t use it in succession.

But now that the time has come, you can learn.

[Acquire skill book]

When a small light leaked from the martial arts teaching eye and headed toward Harang, Avalanche’s eyes widened and she asked.

“Bah, what was that just now?”

“It is one of the powers of the guardian I contracted with.”

“What? “Who is the guardian you contracted with?”

“I can’t reveal that yet.”

“This is crazy! Do you know where guardians with such powers are common? Wherever you go, don’t ever let anyone else see you like that. okay?”

“Of course not.”

“Wow, I’m really going crazy. You said you signed a contract with a guardian, but since you were still young, I thought you would have signed with a worthless guy, but there was a top guardian who recognized your talent and snatched you away? “Who on earth is this?”

Among the guardians, the highest-ranking guardians are famous for not hiring contractors. There are only a handful of Guardians who have the power to extract and acquire knowledge from books.

“Ah, if this happens, my plan will be ruined. Later, when I became a Guardian, he was going to ask me to renew my contract… … .”

While Avalanche was racking his brain and thinking, Harang slowly organized the fighting techniques floating around in his head.

‘It’s the same with the weapon skills from before, you can’t use them right away simply by learning them. ‘You have to learn it all by moving your body.’

However, image training was fully possible here.

The synchronization rate was gradually increased and the simulation began. Another Harang appeared in his mind.

He wasn’t holding a sword, but something that looked like a hook and chain. It was a very unique weapon, and although he had never used it before, he skillfully swung it around and pierced an imaginary enemy.

Harang tried to imagine the sensation as much as possible, and took out various weapons and tried using them.

Not only spears and shields, but also daggers, axes, hammers, whips, etc… … .

Basically, the standard for checking a weapon’s proficiency is whether it can emit energy or not.

A swordsman cannot emit energy with a spear, and similarly, a spear soldier cannot emit energy with a sword. This was only possible after mastering the weapon through tremendous training, so using any other weapon could be said to be absolutely crazy.

But there are always exceptions.

There was a very famous story among the Kala Dan lore called the First Hero.

It was an anecdote in which the holy sword Terandal was broken during the war with the devil.

Caladun, who happened to have lost his weapon in the middle of the battlefield, grabbed all the weapons he could see and swung them, and there was a legend that no matter which weapon he used, his sword energy gushed out.

I was too busy trying to master one weapon, but suddenly another weapon appeared.

It may be a funny story, but Kaladun’s talent was so amazing that he gained another insight about the sword by using other weapons.

Afterwards, Caladun, who healed Terandal, is said to have swung his sword like a whip and also exerted massive power like a hammer, so the sword method derived in this way can be called the ‘Caladern sword method’.

In other words, you can improve your swordsmanship by trying out different weapons.

There’s no way Caladorn would give you something useless as a quest reward, right?

‘Weapon skills are for that kind of realization. And fighting skills are for when an unfortunate incident occurs where a weapon breaks…? … .’

The warrior Kaladan was teaching Harang how to deal with various crisis situations that occurred to him through quests.

I wish I had known what I would do in that situation at the time… … Even after ascending to heaven, he still looks back on the past and worries that his successor will not face the same crisis as he did.

In Harang’s simulation, there were already dozens of Harangs wielding different weapons. As the weapon’s proficiency increased, the swordsmanship of ‘Swordsman Harang’, located in the center, also changed.

By swinging the sword in various ways, like a whip, a hammer, an axe, a chain, etc., he was realizing a new ‘new way of swordsmanship’.

‘If this is the case, a new sword technique… … .’

at that time.

Kuung-!!

A strong shock sounded from the front of the train, breaking Harang’s concentration.

While he was expressing his dissatisfaction with his expression crumpled, other nobles stood up first and started murmuring.

“Wait a minute, why is the train on a different track? “This direction doesn’t go to Archendal Station, which was our original destination, does it?”

“Now, wait! This is the track leading to the Barendal Battleground! “It’s a battlefield!”

As the nobles began to look out the window and make a fuss, Harang could also see that something was wrong.

“Damn it, I need to meet the driver!”

A few nobles who were temperamental and well-behaved got up from their seats, but there was no need to do so.

Kwaang-!

The front and back doors of the business class exploded open, and large, muscular mercenaries jumped out, glaring grimly.

“… … Hey, nobleman. There’s no need to get up for no reason. “You will be going to Varendal with us anyway.”

“What, you are talking crazy! Hey, do you know who this is? The Cyrezio family… … .”

“I know everything. I already got the passenger list here. That’s the goal, you stupid nobleman.”

“W-what?”

The mercenary grinned and revealed his yellowish teeth.

“Our goal is to get your nobles involved in war.”

“What is that… … !”

Yes. The mercenaries’ goal is to intentionally kidnap children of noble families and force them to participate in the war.

Avalanche smiled quietly and looked at Harang, who was still reading a book.

“How can you never be quiet wherever you go?”

“… … “I’m more curious.”

I was already dying because I didn’t have time, but Harang really felt like crying.

“Now, let’s begin. “I’m going to use you as a hostage, so bring someone suitable.”

As the man who seemed to be a senior among the mercenaries said so, several mercenaries walked around the seats and searched for the nobleman.

A mercenary who was passing by among the trembling nobles looked at Harang and approached with a grin.

“Yeah, that would be nice for you. Come here… … .”

Kuung-!!

The mercenary who was speaking suddenly got stuck in the ceiling.

“W-what!”

The mercenaries’ gaze focused in an instant. Right below the mercenary stuck in the ceiling, there was a small boy.

“That guy… … what?”

Even then, the mercenaries couldn’t even imagine.

The fact that that boy pinned his colleague to the ceiling… … .
