The Immortal Genius Spearman (143)
Should we say that it is still an active place?

Upon arriving at Miltobern, Del headed straight to the blacksmith district.

“It’s still running well.”

“Isn’t DL-nim paying a lot of attention?”

Jeran, a member of the Hamel Group who directly supports Torel in Miltobern, said with a smile.

As expected of an employee who managed a blacksmith shop, he had a fairly large build, making DL feel quite small in front of him.

DL nodded with a faint smile.

“Please continue to help me a lot in the future. He is a capable person, so he will continue to grow as much as you push him.”

“All right.”

As Jeran answered, DL glanced inside the forge and spoke.

“But… … It seems like Lord Tor-El isn’t at the blacksmith shop right now?”

I’ve always heard reports that there are some in the blacksmith shop.

In response to DL’s question, Jeran said:

“Damian came to Miltobern. So now I am going out with Damian.”

“Oh, are you here today?”

“yes.”

As Jeran nodded, DL let out a small breath.

“Fortunately, it seems I’m not too late. I came in a hurry after receiving the letter.”

“… …Is that so?”

Jeran looked at DL, trying to hide her slightly surprised expression.

Now, it would not be an exaggeration to say that DL was virtually the top stock of Hamel.

This is from the top of Hamel, which has become so large that it can be counted on one hand even within the current Baroque Kingdom.

But, there is no way that a person like that would rush over like this with just one letter.

‘… … What on earth is that guy like?’

Jeran was curious because he had only heard the general story and did not know the details.

How can the head of the wounded corps treat a mere soldier so kindly?

But did you understand Jeran’s thoughts like that?

DL spoke softly.

“Jeran, how long have you been working at the top?”

“… … It’s been about 3 years.”

“It must have come in around the time when the Hamel Group was growing.”

Three years ago, when Hamel Group was growing rapidly, they recruited many talented people.

Jeran was also one of the talented people who came in at that time.

But that’s why I couldn’t know.

Who was it that made Hamel Sangdae grow so much, and what was the trigger?

I can’t go into detail about them, though.

“No matter what you think, Damien is more than a benefactor to the Hamel Group. There is no need to have such doubts.”

“I will be careful, sir!”

Are you using a poison or something?

Jeran responded urgently with a stern expression to DL’s words, which had a sharp grasp of his intentions.

DL shook his head at him.

“It’s okay. But could you please guide me to where Damian is?”

“This way, this way.”

Guided by Jeran, DL began to walk quickly.

* * *

“My weapon?”

“yes.”

Damian’s eyes widened at Thorel’s sudden words.

You’ve just made your own weapon, and now you’re making another one?

At Damien’s reaction, Tor-El hummed and walked inside the warehouse. And.

Swish.

Tor-El took out a long box.

However, the box was too short to fit a window.

Damien tilted his head.

“Didn’t I say it was my weapon? I use a spear?”

“Let’s open it and take a look.”

Tor-El spoke with a confident expression. Damian opened the box with a puzzled expression.

Click.

“… … ?”

The box opens and this is what you see inside.

It was a circular pole a little less than a meter long.

Damien’s eyes shook slightly at the bar that looked like a spearhead.

“Could it be… this?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

When Damian asked Tor-El while looking at him, Tor-El nodded.

After Damian left, Tor-El continued to wonder how he could help him.

Then Tor-El spoke.

“Would you like to try injecting magic power while holding down the button shown on the side?”

With those words, Tor-El took a step back. Damian understood his intentions.

Woohoo.

I pressed the button on the stick I was holding and injected magic power.

Clank!

A window that grows longer in an instant with him.

The spear, which had grown longer and longer on both sides, was more than twice as long as before.

Moreover, the long blade was uniquely curved, making it easy to use for both cutting and stabbing.

“ha?”

“I asked DL about Damien and the Kion unit. I thought that long spears would be cumbersome when moving quickly in an area with many obstacles.”

“… … .”

It’s true.

In fact, when running through thickets of bushes, Damian always had to be careful with the spear he was holding.

“To return it to its original state, just twist the handle on the button side and turn it to the left.”

So that the window doesn’t get shortened by accidentally pressing a button during battle.

As Tor-El said, let’s slightly twist the spearhead and turn it to the left.

Crunch!

It was changed back to the original length of the pole.

With this length, it was possible to wear it on your waist or carry it on your back and run.

Damien said with a smile.

“Thank you so much. It was an unexpected gift.”

“Don’t worry. It would be impossible to repay all the favors I received from Damian even if I worked my whole life.”

Tor-El smiled brightly at Damian’s delighted appearance. Then Damian looked at Diana.

“… … .”

A guy who is still looking at the sword he is holding with curious eyes.

It seemed like Thorel was quite pleased with the gift.

“It’s still early.”

“……yes?”

“There’s a burning desire in your eyes to try it out.”

“… … Did you get caught?”

“Once your injury is completely healed, I’ll deal with you, so just bear with it.”

Diana is still recovering from an injury.

I know you’re really tempted to swing your sword right now, but you have to hold back for now.

As Diana nodded, Damien lifted the staff he was holding and spoke.

“Thank you so much, I feel like I owe you so much every time.”

“Don’t say that. I’m glad you like it.”

Thorel burst into a bright laugh.

And then.

“Are you all gathered here?”

Tor-El turned his head at the voice coming from outside.

“Del!”

“It’s been a while, Meister Tor-El. And… …Damian, too.”

Damien chuckled at those words.

“You came quickly.”

“Because of someone’s urging.”

It seemed like we could now exchange jokes like this lightly.

After a while, Damien moved to a quiet place with them.

After moving, I saw Diana in front of Del.

“Are you Diana, the deputy commander of the Kaion unit?”

“yes.”

“I’m DL, the head of the Hamel Group. I work with Damien.”

“Ah, that… … I think I saw you at Ercal.”

“That was actually the real start. By the way, is your injury okay?”

As if he already knew the whole situation, DL asked naturally.

Diana nodded to him.

“It may take a little more time, but I have recovered a lot.”

“That’s fortunate.”

Since it was their first time meeting, DL exchanged some simple conversation and then looked at Damian.

Damian waited for DL’s words with his mouth tightly shut as he saw her eyes become more serious than before.

DL said.

“As you may know about our current progress, we have purchased land in the southern part of the Baroque Kingdom and are currently in the process of growing food. The first harvest will likely be this fall at the latest, and we may be able to harvest again next spring if we switch to other crops.”

“Are food prices still not moving?”

“No, there is already a pretty big price movement in the northern regions. And also in the western region along the sea.”

In areas where war was likely to break out, food prices were already rising.

At this rate, it is highly likely that the price will skyrocket to two or three times the current price within a year at the latest.

Damien nodded.

“What are the Empire’s current movements?”

“That’s… … I’m still looking into it, but the Empire’s movements after this battle are unusual.”

“… … The Empire?”

“… … .”

The word empire came out of DL’s mouth.

Those few words made the atmosphere suddenly heavy.

Diana and Thorel also looked at Diel with stern expressions.

Nod.

As Damien nodded as if it was okay, DL continued speaking.

“I think the Duke of Heinel’s appearance had the biggest impact. There were many rumors as he had not been seen on the battlefield for a while, but when Duke Heinel appeared on the battlefield, the Empire began to take different actions.”

“If it’s a different movement… … what are you talking about?”

“Alexandro and Calon… … seem to be moving.”

In that regard.

“… … !”

Damien’s eyes shook violently.

Diana and Tor-El, who were standing next to them, looked at the two as if they had no idea what was going on.

DL spoke briefly to him.

“The First and Second Auror Masters of the Empire.”

“Oh, Auror Master!”

“Huh!”

Only then did Diana and Tor-El show surprised expressions. But… … .

“… … .”

In that moment, the dark murderous look on Damien’s face made everyone there swallow their saliva.

It was because the murderous intent was so great that just looking at it made my skin tingle.

“Hey, Damien.”

“……sorry.”

I felt like I made a mistake because my emotions were so intense at that moment.

In particular, DL was trying hard to act calm, but he was so shocked that his face turned pale.

Damien stood up from his seat.

“for a moment.”

And Damien came out and shut his eyes tightly.

‘Callon… … Xanthos.’

An unforgettable name.

The moment I heard that name, I became so emotional without even realizing it.

But it had to be that way.

The Empire’s Second Auror Master, Calon Xanthos.

Because he was the guy who wiped out Damian and the conscripted unit he led in the past.

Damien still remembered it clearly.

I mean his bloody aura.

The blazing flames engulfed and burned his subordinates, and the demonic power grew stronger as it absorbed their blood.

Thud.

His clenched fist shook slightly along with his clenched molars.

Finally… …the guy is moving.

‘Is this… done?’

No, rather, it moved faster than I expected.

Because he still didn’t have enough strength to defeat that guy.

‘In the end, in order to defeat the Auror Master, I too have no choice but to use Auror.’

It would not be an exaggeration to say that his Delft Magical Training Method had already surpassed 5 stars, and his magic control had reached its peak thanks to his training with Heinel.

But even when a lot of magical power was unleashed, the burden on the body was still considerable.

There was too much homework to be done.

“… … Your head looks complicated.”

At that moment, DL, who was walking out from behind, spoke to Damian.

Then Damian forced a faint smile.

“I think I looked ugly.”

“No, there must be some reason.”

I was curious about what kind of relationship Damien, who was not yet an adult, had with the Empire’s Auror Master.

‘Because you’re always a person with many secrets.’

I thought there must be a reason.

For now, all you have to do is do what you can for him.

DL said to Damian.

“And there’s one more thing I want to tell you.”

“… … What is it?”

“Duke Heinel has contacted the Hamel Group.”

“… …Duke Heinel?”

What is this situation?

DL nodded in response to Damien’s question.
