Aspect of a hero (4)
All direct blood relatives of Caladern each receive one ‘white palace’ to live in, and can only return the white palace and leave if they move into a separate house.
The word palace was actually just one of the palace’s numerous spires, and each white palace was assigned a rank of sorts.
Starting with the ‘Red and White Palace’ where the blood relative ranked first in line for succession resides, the numbers increase one by one from there.
The Red and White Palace is currently where the eldest grandson, Hiron Paul Caladon, resides with his paternal grandmother and mother.
The Scarlet and White Palace, second in rank, was the residence of the eldest granddaughter Naridel and her family, and the Yellow and White Palace, third in rank, was the residence of Garaen and Arihil’s family.
The palace assigned to Harang was Nokbaek Palace. It was a palace ranked 4th in rank, and since he had no parents, he had to use this luxurious and spacious palace alone.
Of course, now I don’t really feel lonely or anything like that.
‘It’s so wide.’
While looking around the living room located at the top of Green White Palace, Harang suddenly remembered the know-how from his time living on modern Earth.
One of the items that must be passed when purchasing a new home!
‘Try running water in the toilet and sink at the same time.’
But there was no sink here.
“The restaurant will be prepared on the 5th floor. Would you like to eat right now? Or, we can serve dessert.”
When I asked the servant, he said that there was no kitchen or anything in the bedroom and living room where Harang lived.
That wasn’t the only thing that was unusual.
‘Well, there’s a toilet here in the living room.’
There was a circular swimming pool in the exact center of the living room, filled with clear, clean water.
It looks like it was made for swimming rather than washing. It was perfect for Harang, who had a longing and fantasy about swimming.
‘This is my home.’
Now, whenever Harang is tired or tired, he can return here and rest in peace.
“Can we eat right now?”
“yes. “I will meet you right away.”
After returning to the palace, Harang was able to eat a proper dinner for the first time in a long time.
During the meal with Duke Kal-El, more luxurious dishes were served, but since we were busy talking about important things, we barely touched them, so this was practically our first meal.
‘… … ‘It’s delicious.’
When he was placed on probation, there was no professional chef at the villa, so the servants had no choice but to cook with insufficient ingredients and skills.
Every day, I ate a piece of meat that was sitting in the refrigerator, cut it up with potatoes and carrots, and topped it with a bay leaf to reduce the fishy smell. To put it briefly, it could be called meat stew.
Of course, Harang is an omnivore, so he ate such food very well.
Usually, this kind of food is served on purpose as a form of punishment, so he ate it so well that the attendants, who had expected Harang to be a picky eater or not eat well, were embarrassed.
Even though I was such an omnivore, I couldn’t help but prefer proper, delicious food.
The meals of nobles on the Asterean continent have an important social role that goes beyond the concepts of livelihood and survival.
It’s just a meal, but it can be a place to show off wealth and honor, or it can be a place of punishment, like Harang received at the villa.
Depending on what and how a person eats, one can know both a person’s class and situation.
In other words, it was safe to say that the table with soft veal grilled with colorful spices and entremets with cheese fountains gushing out was a ‘gift’ from Duke Kal-El to Haran.
Dessert included a spicy pastry filled with chicken and a tart filled with soft eggs.
“Does it suit your taste?”
As we were finishing up dessert, the chef came out and asked.
It was better than the food I ate at the villa, but honestly, it was too greasy.
The chef’s skills were excellent, but they did not suit Harang, who still prefers modern tastes.
“I wish it was a little spicier and saltier. “Reduce the greasy things.”
“I will take note of it.”
“Oh, right. Add a lot of garlic. “It smells amazing.”
“All right.”
It wasn’t difficult to find the spices I wanted. Since the country was protecting the trading city where goods from all over the world gathered, they could get anything they wanted.
If I really wanted to eat it, I could get some kimchi, but I didn’t want to eat it that much.
The chef was quite capable, and found the taste Harang wanted within a few days.
When my mouth is happy, my daily life becomes peaceful and happy. Life is so comfortable when all food, clothing and shelter are taken care of.
From the day I returned, I practiced my sword more than my magic. He said he had gained plenty of practical experience against Natalen over the past three months, but had made very little progress in his skills.

Although his abilities have increased a lot and his magic has improved considerably, his sword skills have still not developed.
‘I haven’t had a clue about the Heavenly Sword that I learned a while ago. Thanks to the tricks of the Heavenly Sword, I was able to learn the Dragon Sword… … .’
Since the day he first showed the Heavenly Sword, Duke Kal-El has not given Harang any instructions. I don’t know if he doesn’t need to, or if he doesn’t teach on purpose.
However, I have no intention of waiting forever for the next teaching.
‘From then until now, I have never forgotten the Heavenly Sword.’
The Heavenly Sword was not something that could be awakened simply by swinging the sword. In a way, it was also the swordsmanship that suited Harang best.
Image training.
The state of uniting the divine sword, which can only be reached by constantly thinking and recalling it in one’s mind, was the Heavenly Sword.
Of course, it is impossible for a four-star swordsman who has just risen to the rank of low-level knight to attain the level of unification of the sword and spirit.
But why did Duke Kal-El first teach Harang, who was not yet fully grown, the tricks of the Heavenly Sword?
‘… … Heavenly Sword is a skill that grows with me as I grow.’
The first time he imitated it, Harang could only lightly shake the hem of Duke Kal-El’s clothes.
However, when I fully understood what the Heavenly Sword was, I was able to wear ‘Yongeon’ around the sword.
Wind and lightning. You can certainly put as much mana as you have on the attribute and swing it around the sword, but it is only one of the techniques using the Heavenly Sword and is not a true Heavenly Sword.
‘The true sword of heaven is cutting the sky with your heart.’
The Heavenly Sword of Duke Kal-el that I saw at that time was a blade of pure antiquity without any attributes.
‘How is that possible… ?’
The existence of mana was as hazy as fog and shapeless and always flowing like an aurora, so I couldn’t even imagine that it could be sharpened.
‘There is no need to rush. ‘The Heavenly Sword is a skill that is built slowly, step by step, over time.’
After swinging a heavy sword weighing hundreds of kilograms hundreds of times, Harang sat down to rest and meditate, sweating profusely, when he opened his eyes to the feeling of human presence.
The Green White Palace’s training ground was a completely private space, so people rarely came to visit.
“young master. “Mission orders have been received.”
Harang, who thought something had come, got up with a pounding heart.
* * *
“You’re here, Pauldon Harang. “I will guide you to the hall.”
Cheongnok-gwan, which was in charge of part of the palace administration, had several administrative facilities for assigning duties. Among them, the hall was a place where duties were assigned to blood relatives.
Sometimes alone.
Sometimes with troops under his command.
Sometimes, they lead entire knights and are given missions in the halls.
Harang arrived at the hall alone. It was a bit excessive considering that two to three or more troops were usually assigned to a young blood relative, Foldon.
‘Because I am in a position to be tested in many ways.’
When I entered the hall, there was only one desk in the spacious hall and a knight in uniform was waiting.
“Welcome, Pauldon Harang.”
The hall was a place where blood relatives were given missions that could not be revealed to the public, so even though it was a spacious hall, there was not a single outsider in sight.
“My name is Lil Zed. “Please come over here and sit down.”
The person who welcomed Harang was the old knight, Lil Zed. As a member of Kaladan’s intelligence organization ‘Cheonridae’, he was a famous knight whose name Harang had already heard of.
“Please receive the instructions here.”
As soon as Harang received the instructions, he did not open them immediately. Listening to Captain Cheonri’s instructions was the priority.
“Polden Harang. His Majesty said this mission was a kind of test. “You urged me not to use some of the power I have.”
“Well, can I just use the sword without using magic?”
Of course he thought so, but Lil Zed shook his head.
“There is a note to complete the mission without using a sword, only with magic. “I think it’s to see how good your magic is.”
“With just magic… … ?”
Lil’ Zed also looked puzzled as it was his first time giving a mission of this type to a blood relative, but Duke Kal-El’s orders were absolute.
I had to accept it.
“Importance Level 5 and Danger Level D. A 4-star Foldon can easily complete this mission, but it would be a bit arduous for a 3-star wizard.”
A mission with a risk level of D can be completed reliably only by sending a platoon of 3-star knights or a squad of 4-star knights. Of course, there is an exception for Callathan’s blood relative ‘Poldan’.
Even though Kaladun was a 4-star, he had much better swordsmanship and physical abilities than his peers, so he was able to easily carry out the mission of a squad on his own.
‘Why are you telling me to only use magic?’
Risk level D is usually given to people in their late teens or early 20s.
To be honest, I don’t think it would be easy if I were told to only use swordsmanship, but to only use magic. It was funny to test magic in Caladern, but the difficulty level was too difficult.
“The mission location is Harana Canal. It is said that an unidentified group is blackmailing ‘mixed marriages’ here. Do you know what this is?”
“I do not know.”
“Mixed flowers are plants that grow with negative emotions and dark magic. Only a warlock can cultivate it. “The mission is to find them, chase them down, and eliminate them.”
“… … .”
Harang tilted his head when he realized that the mission was not related to Estelle. Since the quest was given to me, I thought that something related to Estelle would definitely happen.
‘No. Since you said this mission is a test, it could be to gauge whether I have the right magic skills to perform a mission related to Estelle.’
If so, it also meant that Estelle’s current whereabouts were hidden somewhere strongly connected to magic.
In other words, if you cannot complete this mission using only magic, you will not be able to even approach Estelle.
‘If it’s something like that, I can’t help but accept it… … .’
However, I had some doubts about the difficulty of the mission.
When I think of drug dealing, the mafia and gangster groups in movies first come to mind, so I asked cautiously.
“Isn’t it dangerous for me to take charge of it? “You won’t even know how strong the warlock is.”
“According to our analysis, we guess that they are probably not a very strong group of warlocks.”
“Is there a reason?”
“High-level warlocks are deeply rooted in society and receive support from nobles. Drugs are also traded secretly in aristocratic societies so that they are difficult to trace. Also, even if you don’t necessarily make drugs, there are plenty of ways to raise money.”
In other words, a group of people who engage in dangerous black trading in a big city like Harana Canal would not be of such a high standard. That was the analysis of Kaladan Intelligence.
“I think their leader is at most a 4-star level.”
Even if it is a 4-star, there is no doubt that it is sufficiently threatening and powerful to Harang.
However, at the age of only 10, Harang had a record of winning a sparring match against a 4-star prosecutor with 2-star skills.
Duke Kal-El wants to know.
Does Harang’s talent actually apply to magic?
If so, to what extent?
‘No matter what, you’re a 4-star warlock with just magic… … .’
Isn’t the other person not even an individual but a group?
‘… … It is a level that is quite burdensome and difficult for me to take on. However, if you do not pass this test, you will not be able to receive missions related to Estelle.’
Besides, there was one reason why this mission wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.
‘The Harana Canal… … It was definitely one of the places I had to go.’
Over the past eight years, Harang has completed quite a few quests, but most of them have been confined to the White Night Castle, so he has not been able to properly receive the rewards.
There are as many as 7 rewards that are marked on the map and have not yet been received.
One of them, fortunately, was located on the Harana Canal.
‘The reward was some parts of the Summon Mail used by the hero Kaladan.’
Harang’s eyes sparkled.
Summon Mail. A symbol of a wealthy knight.
As a relic from the ancient era, modern armor, no matter how simple it is, is difficult to put on and take off on your own without the help of a servant.
It is said that dwarven armor can be worn alone as the parts can be stably attached to the body just by pressing a button, but it must be carried with you.
However, ‘Summon Mail’ is different.
It was stored across subspace, and was immediately summoned and worn when the user wanted it.
There were very few holders in the world, and since all summon mails had code names and unique names registered, most of the users were public.
However, among the historically famous Summon Mails, there were some that have disappeared in modern times.
One of them was Caladorn’s Summon Mail ‘Alteri Armor’.
It continuously consumed the mana of all Summon Mail wearers, or in the case of corrupted Dark Summon Mail, it consumed vitality, and Kaladan’s Alteri Armor was known to be extremely severe.
It is said that even those with as much magical power as the sea could not withstand Alteri Armor for long.
‘Instead of placing a strong burden on the wearer, the performance was superior.’
Harang clenched his fists.
It was one of the items I wanted the most, and I never thought an opportunity like this would come.
Anyway, the duration of the mission is free.
Harang plans to obtain Alteri Armor without fail within this period.
