Episode 310

Iron Man Delak C. Badniker.

A man who is always mentioned when talking about the hope of humanity, the strongest in the empire, or the strongest on the continent.

My father, who has continued to be undefeated, indomitable, and invincible in both his past and present life.

A person like that, what?

You’re in critical condition right now?

“I didn’t know Kyung-i had a talent for jokes.”

“You saw it exactly. I don’t like this kind of joke at all.”

“Then what? Is what you just said true?”

“I’m sorry, but that’s true.”

“… … .”

I looked at Kean for a moment.

In an instant, several possibilities flashed through my mind.

There is a possibility that Keian is lying, or that this itself is a test for the Iron Blooded.

Or maybe someone pretending to be Kayan is trying to trick me.

Questions like the above quickly subsided from the moment they arose… … .

A question popped out of my mouth.

“why?”

“… … .”

“What did a person who doesn’t seem like he’d bleed even if you pricked him with a needle do to end up in such critical condition?”

“It’s because of the mission you’ve been given this time.”

“duty?”

“That’s all I know. Only a very small number of the elders, including Assad, know the details… … .”

…duty.

At those words, the last conversation I had with Cheolhyeol-gong flashed through my mind.

– It’s probably going to be hard to see you for a while.

– Where are you going?

– To do what needs to be done.

… he said that it would be difficult to see a man as good as Iron Blood for a while.

Even if the opponent was a priest, Cheolhyeolgong would not have said such a thing.

To put it simply, even the Demon Legion Commander who brought us endless despair during this mission wouldn’t have been such a big threat if only the Iron Blood Corps had been present.

“Your Majesty, as you are probably aware, this information is top secret. I strongly urge that it never be leaked to the outside world.”

If that’s really true, then yes.

If the news of Iron Blood’s serious injury spreads to the world, there’s a high chance that the religious sect will start making five times more of a fuss than they are making now.

Naturally, as the religious sects become more established, the crime rate in each region will also rise vertically, and the public security of the empire will soon fall into disarray.

Even I couldn’t easily predict how far the resulting confusion would spread.

You might ask, what’s the big deal about just one person getting hurt? … … .

If that one person is none other than Iron Blood, it is difficult to dismiss it as mere nonsense.

Because he was a symbolic figure whose mere existence served as a deterrent to believers, their supporters, and criminals.

But even in the midst of all this, I had a feeling that maybe Iron Blood was doing this to test me.

It doesn’t seem like Kean is lying, so he may have been given false information to begin with.

So, Keian thinks that Iron Blood is seriously injured, but in reality, that is not the case…

“…What will you do, my lord?”

“… … .”

I stopped my thoughts, looked at Keian’s wrinkled face for a moment, and answered.

“I’ll go. To my parents’ house.”

Whether this is true or false… … .

First of all, it is clear that my presence was summoned by my parents.

If you are wandering around the iron blood kingdom, it is right to visit you as a blood relative. It is even more so since you have inherited the title of Sogaju.

There is no longer any lingering emotion in the Badniker family… … .

Aside from that, we absolutely must know what happened to Iron Blood.

Because depending on what state the Iron Blood Lord is in, I may have to completely revise my future plans.

“How long do I have to go?”

“Of course, the sooner the better. Lord Soga will probably be the last. It took quite a while for him to get here because he was from the north.”

“When did Kyung-eun get here?”

“It was yesterday. I was planning to stay overnight and go to Snowville Village, where Lord Soga is, this afternoon.”

“hmm.”

If I had been careful, I almost got confused.

I still don’t know if it was lucky or unlucky that I met Keian here by chance.

I nodded and said.

“I still have some work to do. Just give me one day.”

“All right.”

“By the way, how did you get around? Did you come by carriage?”

“It was like that when I came, but I can return much faster. I received the [scroll] from Lord Asad.”

“Scroll? Could it be a space movement scroll?”

“Yes, it’s for two people.”

“… … .”

I was a little embarrassed.

If it’s a magic scroll, it’s a valuable item that is mostly called a summon.

Even people with no magical ability at all can use the stored magic simply by tearing it.

The most expensive of these is the space travel scroll.

As far as I know, one sheet costs at least several hundred gold, and I’ve heard that the price can increase several or even dozens of times depending on the distance traveled and the number of people.

For example, even if it were only 500 gold, it would be enough to feed a family for a lifetime, but there are few people who would waste it on moving.

At best, a weirdo, a psychopath, or just plain rich?

‘Badnikers are all included.’

I sighed.

If Keian’s words are true, it looks like we won’t have to worry about riding a carriage for a few more weeks.

“I’ll be back before the sun sets.”

“Yes. I will wait here.”

“By the way, did you tell the whole story to Chief Dorman?”

“That’s not true. I’m somewhat acquainted with Dorman, so I asked him to pass along a message in case you and I ever cross paths.”

“That’s amazing. You were friends with a giant?”

“It’s embarrassing to call it a friendship. We’ve only met a few times for work purposes.”

The work of giants and badniks?

As I tilted my head because I couldn’t quite imagine it, Keian continued speaking.

“The Dorman Giant has had a close relationship with Badniker to begin with. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent his daughter to Badniker’s training.”

“ah.”

Now that I hear it, that’s true.

Mirdo also participated in Badniker’s training session upon his father’s recommendation.

Come to think of it, in addition to Mir, there were many other races that participated in the training camp, including the Suin and the Dwarves.

I think again about how influential Badniker is… … .

“I’ll be right back.”

“Take care on your way back.”

… I left Dorman’s house.

***

First, we headed to Heros’ temporary residence, located north of the village.

It was a very large town, but surprisingly, I was able to find it quickly, because in this huge town, the only building was the size of a person.

Of course, the temporary shelter seen up close had an embarrassing appearance for a building.

Most of them were barracks that could barely block wind and rain.

In the center, there was something that could be called a building, made by attaching planks together.

“Oh! Luan! You’re back soon!”

Then I met Mir again.

Mir was leisurely carrying a load several times his size, but somehow it seemed as if his strength was growing stronger.

“Is the story over already?”

“That’s true, but things have become a bit annoying.”

“What are you talking about?”

I briefly explained my situation to Mir.

Of course, he didn’t say that Cheolhyeolgong was injured, but he said that something urgent had come up at home and he had to go back.

It wasn’t because I didn’t trust Mir, but because this guy’s simple personality made me say things without realizing it.

Mir, who had heard the whole story, had a gloomy expression.

“Hmm… … . If it’s housework, there’s nothing I can do. Will it take long?”

“I guess I’ll know for sure once I get there, but I still have some business to attend to up north. I’ll be back as soon as possible.”

“I see! Don’t worry! I’ll protect the North!”

Mir said, pounding his chest.

“Leave your seniors’ errands to me too! Are you good with the caterpillar technique and the hammer?”

“Honey wine and a hatchet.”

“aha…….”

“By the way, where is Sister Razbeth?”

“Huh? You were here just a moment ago… … ?”

Mir looked around, tilted his head, and pointed to the building in the center.

“If it’s not here, it’s probably at the temporary headquarters.”

“Okay. Okay, Mir. See you later.”

“Okay! Cheer up!”

After passing Mir, who was cheering with both fists clenched, I entered the building called the temporary headquarters.

This building certainly had the most heroes. Some of the faces looked familiar, the ones I had seen in passing when fighting the Legion Commander.

“That boy… … .”

“Is that Luan Badnicker?”

“That’s right. That splendid platinum hair and that plump face… … That must be the gold fairy who fought the commander head-on.”

They must have recognized me because they were whispering among themselves and looking at each other.

‘what?’

I was slightly embarrassed, because I could see a look of admiration and longing in their eyes.

This is the first time in my life that I’ve received such a look, so I don’t know what to do.

“Golden Fairy?”

Then a familiar voice was heard.

I wondered who it was, and it was Jack, the leader of the Frostel clan.

“you are…….”

“It’s been a while.”

“Yeah. Was there anything wrong?”

“Nothing much happened. I have a lot of work to do, so my head hurts a little… … .”

I guess so.

Jack will probably be handling the aftermath of this mission.

In addition to handling the remains and purifying musical instruments, it also includes recovering bodies and delivering news of death.

A month probably won’t be enough to handle all that.

In fact, Jack had become quite haggard while I was not looking.

“You must have had a hard time.”

“I guess you should think of it as the price you paid for saving your life. You’ve been quite busy, haven’t you?”

“That’s true, but at best it’s just dealing with monsters.”

“You mean near Snowville? I heard that area is quite large. It wouldn’t have been easy to deal with the Corrupted alone.”

Was this his original personality?

Compared to when we first met, he seems to have matured. He was older than me to begin with.

“By the way, what brings you here?”

“Um. I’m going to take my clan members with me to hear the news here. So, is there no Razbet here?”

“Sister Razbeth was here just a moment ago… … .”

Jack looked around, tilted his head, and said.

“I suddenly don’t see you. You seem quite busy, so maybe you went off to do something else.”

“Anything else?”

“Sister Razbat is probably the busiest person in this village. She handles most of the funeral arrangements, including the handling of the bodies.”

“Alone?”

“okay.”

The number of casualties at Heros alone would not have been small, and the number of corpses prepared as sacrifices by the cultists was at least in the hundreds.

If I were to handle all of their funerals by myself, even ten bodies would not be enough… … .

“… It’s fortunate that there are almost no believers of the 72nd Church among the giants, but it was definitely an excessive amount of work. I’m sorry. We were too busy to pay attention.”

“You don’t have to apologize to me.”

“That’s true. Anyway, the graveyard is near the ice lake. If it’s not here, they’re probably holding a funeral there.”

“All right.”

I nodded briefly and expressed my gratitude, and was about to leave the temporary headquarters when Jack spoke to me.

“Maybe next time we meet we’ll be on the same level.”

“What are you talking about?”

“It seems that Heros headquarters was impressed by your recent performance. We may hear news of your promotion soon.”

advancement?

My current rank is B, so it means I will soon be A.

I asked in a bewildered voice.

“You’re not even having a promotion match?”

“There are exceptions to every group. And it seems to me that you are more than capable of carrying on your father’s reputation.”

The word father made me think of Cheolhyeolgong again, but I just smiled without showing it.

“It’s embarrassing, so just do as you always do.”

“Just like before?”

“What was it… … . You said that the world revolves around invisible rules? You said that a crack in prestige is the starting point of collapse, and that someone like me wouldn’t understand that.”

First meeting.

When I told him about the time when I brought a bunch of heroes and bet on them, Jack coughed awkwardly with an awkward face.

“…I didn’t say that.”

“… … .”

Looking at that face, I remembered what I had said to Jack in the past.

– You are diminishing the meaning of the word hero.

I looked at Jack and said.

“Senior Jack.”

“hmm?”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“… … .”

Jack blinked at my unexpected remark and said.

“What is it all of a sudden? Feeling it.”

“Isn’t that so?”

I said with a big laugh.

“Let’s work a little harder, both of us.”

As Jack said… that would be the responsibility of the living.

***

After leaving the village and walking along the ice lake again, I soon came across a place that appeared to be a graveyard.

The hill was gently sloping, offering a commanding view of the lake, the snow-capped mountains beyond, and even the remains of the frost giants.

I don’t plan on dying yet.

I thought that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to be buried in a place like this after I die.

Somehow, it feels like there’s much more to see here than in places like dense forests or temples.

“Wow! Are you the Friday Fairy!?”

I met a hero at the cemetery, and surprisingly he looked younger than me.

Her name was Annie and she was a D-rank, or apprentice.

“Wow! Wow! I heard you were the number one hero of this mission! It is, it is an honor for our family to meet you… … . Can I call you senior?”

“Do whatever you want.”

“Oh yeah!”

“By the way, is there a raspberry here?”

“Sister Razbeth? Yes! She’s reciting the Sacraments over there right now… Huh?”

Annie’s head tilted as she looked back.

“What’s strange? You were there just a moment ago… … .”

“… … .”

“Just a moment! I’ll look it up and get back to you-.”

“No, that’s fine. You don’t have to do that.”

I looked around the empty graveyard and thought.

I thought it was strange at first.

Verita is the owner of a sharp and vast sense of smell that can clearly sense my presence.

If it was that guy’s temperament, he would have noticed my presence before I even set foot in the Frostwolf Village.

If it was the guy I knew, it wouldn’t have been strange if he had come out to greet me instead.

But, let alone being picked up, every time I stopped by a place where Verita was, I kept missing her by a hair’s breadth.

Is this just a coincidence?

‘That can’t be true.’

This situation means one thing.

Verita.

Colorless believer.

Likewise, that guy who was excessively obsessed with me, a colorless priest… … .

He’s avoiding me now.
