Episode 86. Marquis Garion (1)

“The lord is returning. “Open the gate!”

The voice of the sentry on the castle wall is loud.

The information that monthly wages will be paid seems to be valuable.

That’s it.

Before you know it, it’s night.

The quick response of the soldiers who confirmed the new type at the bonfire.

Tak tak tak.

I went straight into the castle on horseback.

A power that only lords and knights can enjoy.

“Chuuuuung!”

The waiting soldiers raised their standards and performed military rituals.

I nodded and headed to the office.

“ha.”

As soon as I leaned back in my chair, I let out a sigh.

The feeling of cutting down orcs still remains in my hands.

I made up my mind, but no matter what, I am still an earthling living in a civilized society.

The orcs’ hostile and resentful gaze towards me.

I shook my head a few times to shake off the distracting thoughts.

Orcs are just monsters with whom conversation is impossible.

smart.

“It’s Perorin!”

“Come in.”

A knight entering.

I sensed that my complexion was not comfortable.

“Master, what’s going on?”

“I was thinking about a lot of things.”

“sorry.”

The good knight noticed.

“Then later… . “I’ll just leave now.”

“It’s okay now. “But what happened?”

“I have summoned five soldiers selected by my lord.”

“okay?”

“We’re waiting outside right now.”

Five soldiers selected to be trained as knights.

As soon as I get home from work, I have a lot of work to do.

“Lord Perorin.”

“yes!”

“Rubedon Village was attacked by orcs.”

“yes? Attack?”

“First of all, I was there to stop the orcs, but there were many casualties in the village. “Send funeral consolation money, available potions, and soldiers.”

“Chuung!”

The article doesn’t say anything.

I figured out what my style was.

“I think we need to refurbish the fence, so please send an engineer as well.”

“all right. But my lord… … .”

The article seems to have something to say.

I looked into Perorin’s eyes.

“Please keep one thing in mind.”

“???”

“A burnt village can be rebuilt, but if a great lord disappears, it is the worst situation for all the people of the territory… … .”

ha! Look at this loyalty.

That is correct.

I nodded.

“I will always keep that in mind.”

“thank you. “I will bring the soldiers.”

Sir Perorin went out and a moment later came into the room with five soldiers.

“Chuuung!”

Five soldiers bowed vigorously as soon as they entered.

There are a few familiar faces, including Jureon.

“You know what I heard from Lord Perorin, but I have decided to train you as knights for our territory.”

“!!!”

Soldiers whose faces flushed at my words.

These words will warm your heart as you hear them directly from the lord.

It is almost impossible for an ordinary soldier to become a knight.

The same is true in the Kaishar Empire, the country of chivalry.

“Would you like to become a knight?”

“Chuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”

Five people answered at the same time.

I glanced at them.

My physical condition was not bad for martial arts training.

The body as a whole is balanced.

Although he is old, there is no problem because the job is not to train a top expert.

“As of today, hand over all duties and come into the castle to receive training guidance. Sir Perorin, please assign accommodations.”

“insect!”

“You can just leave.”

“Chuuung!”

The reserve knights and Sir Perorin bowed with a flushed expression and retreated.

“It’s a good time to laugh.”

The harsh and vicious training process that will unfold for them in the future.

I shook my head at the obvious process and looked out the window.

It rattled.

Windows shaking in the wind.

Before I knew it, dark clouds had formed.

And snow begins to fall.

It’s north.

Winter is not over yet.

“Wow! Sister, it’s snow! eye!”

Roselyn’s cheerful voice was heard outside the window.

Enjoying the never-ending winter with snow.

On the walls, soldiers with weapons stand indifferently as they face the falling snow.

“… … .”

The scenery is peaceful, but thinking about what happened so far makes me think a lot.

The moment I disappear, all beings here will disappear like a lie.

An invisible weight weighing down on your shoulders.

Everyone is living their lives riding on the chariot of destiny made by the gods.

Let go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go

My time and thoughts seem to be piling up on the ground like snow.

My heart adds depth and weight.

It adds weight and covers the ground with snow.

***

“My lord. We sent soldiers to Rubedon Village. We also sent skilled carpenters and instructed them to repair the collapsed fence.”

“Good job.”

The morning dawned.

Yeongji has been busy since dawn.

The amount of accumulated snow is considerable.

The sound of people coming out and clearing snow is loud.

And the diligent old bachelor driver has no sleep.

He also came early and reported on the affairs of the estate.

“I received a call from the Marquis.”

“okay?”

“It is said that the Marquis came down to the territory from the imperial capital a few days ago.”

“Thank goodness.”

“I think it would be better to leave today.”

I am the one who is disappointed.

There are more than one or two things needed for a territory.

A marquis has a much higher rank than an earl.

The size of the territory he owns easily exceeds ten times.

It’s natural to say hello.

“Can I go alone?”

“It’s not possible! My lord, you are a count. The driver, Sosin, must take him with him!”

“What should I do if my territory is in crisis?”

“The absence of a master is a crisis in itself.”

There is nothing else to say in response to Sir Perorin’s answer.

Even if there is one more knight left, the territory is not safe.

“I understand.”

“thank you.”

“I will get plenty of food, so instruct me to clean out the warehouse.”

“yes!”

“I plan to supply food free of charge to residents who need it. Please prepare that too.”

“Chuuung!”

This man’s voice becomes louder when it comes to saving Young Ji-min’s life.

Most of the residents here will never have had enough to eat.

Food was especially scarce during the season transitioning from winter to spring, like now.

There was an absolute need for a relief organization like Heukchang in the territory.

As long as there are no corrupt officials, the lives of the people in the territory will stabilize in a short period of time.

Once food, clothing, and shelter are stabilized, the development of the territory will naturally follow.

Just imagining it makes my heart proud.

I solved the numerous problems in the estate one by one with my own hands.

For me, who used to stay in the lab every day extracting data and conducting experiments, running the estate has become another joy in my life.

“Have you contacted the top?”

“I contacted you urgently, so you will receive a confirmation within a few days.”

I think the means of communication also need to be improved.

There is no dedicated communication network or moving magic circle that connects the territory directly to the ecliptic.

If you wanted to meet them, you had to ride a horse and go out to the large estate where the upper branch was located.

“We will be heading to Garion Territory in a moment, so please prepare. And invite the knight candidates to my room.”

“insect!”

Sir Perorin saluted faithfully and retired.

After a while, the soldiers came in.

Candidates with vivid eyes.

“From today, you are candidates for knighthood. “If you do something that goes against the rules of chivalry, you will be punished according to the laws of chivalry.”

He cautioned solemnly.

From now on, these are the faces of Yeongji.

“insect!!!”

“I’ll teach you one move, so you can practice it in the training hall.”

He demonstrated the basic swordsmanship he learned from his teacher.

Candidates staring with bright eyes open.

“Do this at least 1,000 times a day.”

“Chung, chung!”

The voices of the candidates tremble.

It is not easy to practice repeatedly in the same position 1,000 times while holding a heavy sword.

It’s probably fair to say that I got enough sleep tonight.

If you’re not sick, you’re not young.

Looking at this, it is clear that I am also taking after my bad master.

That’s how I started training the candidates.

and.

“Chulbaaaal!”
