A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood - Chapter 231



Episode 231 – Become the Last Hope

Tintaluna, the capital of the Bregern Empire.

A huge city boasting a long history and high housing prices.

Alberto, who had been living in this city for some time, was about to have lunch.

Just when I was about to sit down to eat the lunch that Nina had carefully prepared.

“Alberto! Is there Alberto?”

“Hmm?”

Someone was calling Alberto’s name loudly from outside his mansion.

Alberto knew very well who the owner of this voice calling him was.

For Alberto, it was Tarun who was the master and in fact Alberto’s swordsmanship teacher.

“I can’t believe you’re looking for someone so loudly during lunch time. “Who is it?”

“Can you wait a moment? “I think the Ambassador has come to visit.”

It was time to have lunch with Nina, but the ambassador’s wife, Tarun, came to visit him, so Alberto headed to the entrance of the mansion, asking to wait a moment.

Alberto opened the front door of the mansion, walked down the marble-paved sidewalk toward the door, and carefully opened the door.

“Oh! Alberto, it looks like you were at home.”

“It’s been a while since I saw you. Ambassador. “What kind of business is there for someone who has ruined all construction work?”

Tarun saw Alberto and greeted him with a happy face.

Alberto was puzzled that Tarun came here.

Clearly, it was time for Tarun to travel across other kingdoms in search of the remaining remnants of El-Romed.

The reason he appeared in Tintaluna was that a situation as serious as that had occurred.

“Do you remember what I told you before?”

“You mean what I said before?”

Alberto tried to remember what Tarun had said before, the ‘things he said before’.

After a while, Alberto was able to remember what Tarun was trying to say.

“Well, I remember you talking about the true evil that threatens the world. Is it related to this?”

“Okay. That’s correct. “You little disciple.”

It was Tarun who nodded and answered Alberto’s answer.

Alberto’s expression turned serious at Tarun’s answer.

“It’s not something to talk about here, so let’s move on.”

“All right. Ambassador.”

It was Alberto who accepted Tarun’s suggestion to move.

◈

Alberto’s mansion had many rooms.

Among them, there were rooms with various soundproofing treatments to prevent others from eavesdropping on conversations with important guests.

Alberto went to Nina and asked her not to disturb anyone as he was going to have a conversation with an important guest.

Nina said she would do it because Alberto was being serious for a long time.

Alberto and Tarun entered the soundproofed room.

Thanks to the thick curtains and various sound-absorbing materials, it seemed like whatever was said here would never leak out.

Alberto locked the door to prevent anyone else from entering.

Tarun was already sitting on the sofa, so Alberto also sat facing him on the sofa.

“So, what is that enemy?”

“To be specific, it is a being from another world. “Not someone who existed in this world, but a very evil being from another world.”

Tarun’s face also became very serious.

Tarun was usually a gentle and playful man, but he became extremely serious when talking about important matters.

“The reason I became known as a hero was because I defeated an ancient monster that rose from the bottomless pit. Do you remember?”

“I remember.”

“Okay. Then, do you know that the location of the bottomless pit that he came up from is the current Grand Duchy of Galois?”

“Yes?”

Alberto was taken aback by Tarun’s words.

It was an unbelievable story that the location of the bottomless pit where the ancient monster was located is now the Grand Duchy of Galois.

“Okay. You won’t believe it. By sealing the ancient monster in the bottomless pit again, and by creating an altar of sealing with the people of the Galois family with their own blood, they were able to seal the monster forever.”

What Tarun was talking about was a story about a hidden history that people don’t know about.

“At the time, I was at the level of a sword master, but I almost died in the battle with that guy. However, at that moment of death, I was able to get a glimpse of the state from a long time ago, and thanks to using that fragment, I was able to defeat the guy.”

Then Tarun lifted his clothes and showed the wound on his abdomen.

It was a wound that was distorted ugly and then healed, as if it had been burned by fire.

“This was the wound he made on my body. It was a very serious wound. Neither aurors nor magic were of any use to him.”

“Then, what were you able to defeat him with?”

“It was the power of transcendence.”

“The power of transcendence?”

Alberto was curious about the power of transcendence that Tarun was talking about.

I’ve seen the word transcendence in the dictionary, but it’s mostly written in self-help books.

“Okay. Transcendence. “I am not talking about aura or mana, but a power that is close to the purest original.”

Tarun was repeatedly clenching and opening his fist, as if he was remembering the memories of that day.

“Thanks to experiencing just a little convenience, I was able to barely survive.”

“It’s fascinating.”

“It’s fascinating. “It’s a power you can use as much as you want.”

“Yes? Who? Me?”

Alberto was taken aback when Tarun spoke while looking at him.

The power of transcendence. He didn’t know anything about it. Because the only power he could use was Auror.

In the past, you could use both magic and divine magic, but now only one power remained.

“Cluck cluck. Do you think I taught you for no reason? Everything I taught was a way to embrace the pure power of transcendence.”

From noble mtl dot come

“Pure transcendent power?”

“Okay. Because that power is the only way to defeat him. The power you use is not yet fully refined. However, if you train to handle it perfectly, you will gain the power to split mountains, turn the earth, and blow up water with your sword.”

In other words, Alberto was dumbfounded to see Tarun saying that he was stronger than me.

“What do you mean by that? The only power I can use is Auror…”

“Noisy. Auror, divine power, and mana in your body. I saw that all three of these forces coexisted. How long are you going to keep acting like a fool? All three forces are originally one force. We just think of it as a different power because it produces different power depending on how it is used.”

Tarun’s words were remarks that could be considered shocking or blasphemy depending on the listener.

However, since the person listening was Alberto, there does not seem to be any controversy.

“In any case, evil from other worlds aims only at destruction and causing fear in living things.”

“Why?”

“The more fear people feel, the stronger they become. “He thrives on fear.”

Tarun began to tell detailed information about the enemy in earnest.

“People who were fascinated by the fear it showed began to appear and serve them in return. And even if it was sealed, it could not stop him from indirectly using his power to seduce people.”

“Then, for what purpose do they serve such a person?”

“Do you understand? “The world is big and there are a lot of people, so there are idiots like that.”

Saying that, Tarun sighed deeply.

“The important thing is this. Your mother, Elena, was a member of an organization to stop such people.”

“Yes?”

“It was because of those b*stards that your face became like that. “They kidnapped you for two main reasons.”

“What does that mean?”

When Alberto was told about his face, he suddenly wondered what this meant.

“Be quiet and listen. The reason they kidnapped you was to instill fear in people by disfiguring your appearance. As a bonus, it was also to avenge the comrades who died at the hands of your mother.”

“Is that so? What happened to them?”

“Everyone is dead. Me and your father came forward and wiped them all out. However, I heard that there were still remnants in the Grand Duchy of Galois, but I couldn’t do anything about it because I wasn’t sure.”

Alberto nodded his head as if relieved to hear that Tarun had killed them all.

“But they’re all dead, so why do they still look like this?”

“Even if the curse is lifted, the traces it left behind do not disappear. Think of that little eye of yours as a scar. Well, I’m glad it’s not passed down from generation to generation.”

Alberto felt fortunate in Tarun’s last words

Let’s think about it.

What if you and Nina had a child, and if it was as narrow-eyed as you?

What should I do as a father?

Fortunately, Alberto was relieved to hear that it was not passed on to his children.

“Then what should I do?”

“While I’m blocking him, I need to start training and be able to perfectly handle the power of transcendence.”

Tarun’s words made Alberto feel at a loss.

“Does the Ambassador have to go and stop it?”

“It has to be that way. No matter how many Auror Masters go, they won’t be able to pass the time properly. Rather, I might be able to take longer.”

Tarun put his hand on Alberto’s shoulder.

“You are my only hope. Alberto. I will hold on as long as I can until you can perfectly control the power of transcendence. Close your eyes and focus on the sound inside you. Then the power of transcendence will respond to your will. Then communicate with that power and make it yours. Request. When you finish training, come straight to the Grand Duchy of Galois.”

Tarun patted Alberto on the shoulder and told him in detail about his training methods, then left.

“Ha…”

When Tarun left, only Alberto remained, sighing alone.

But he couldn’t just sit there sighing.

Alberto got up and left the room.

And he went to Nina and said.

“I have something to tell you.”
