Although there were communication problems, Caron was eventually able to find the relay station and contact Cheonghaesung.
Charon immediately reported to the Third Elder, Julich.
This mission was given directly by the Senate.
This is because Yulich, who had directly relayed the mission to Charon, was the person in charge of the current mission.
Only after hearing Caron’s report did Yulich open his mouth.
“Yes, Elder 3.”
“The injury was minor enough that there were no aftereffects, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
There was sincerity in Yulich’s voice.
“Still, it was only a very small part.”
An agenda that even the elders were confused about.
The appearance of a glimpse of the Demon King was certainly something that could have that kind of ripple effect.
“It’s really okay, Elder 3. Thank you for your concern. Oh, and there’s one thing I forgot to tell you.”
“There was a bit of a clash with the Holy Kingdom… … .”
Caron spoke honestly to Yulich.
From the war of nerves with the saint to stabbing the stomach of the knight named Haphiel with his sword.
Since it was a story that had no benefit in hiding anyway, I explained the situation in detail without leaving anything out.
‘If you’re not careful, you might get disciplined.’
An issue that could lead to a diplomatic conflict with a huge group called the Holy Kingdom.
I said this knowing I would get in big trouble, but what I actually got in return was…
It was Yulich’s roar mixed with anger.
Even though I was speaking through communication magic, the voice was so loud that it made my head thump.
“… … I thought you were going to scold me.”
Judging from the reaction, it seemed that it was fortunate that he had reported directly to Yulich.
It might actually have been a good thing that Halo had left Cheonghaesung empty because of work at the moment.
“Thank you, Elder 3.”
“I will keep that in mind, and keep it in mind again.”
The person who once hated Charon the most turned around, and he couldn’t be more reliable.
But this is only the judgment of the three elders.
The positions of other adults in the family, including the first or second elders, may have been different.
In particular, in the case of the first or second children… … .
‘Could a political offensive be launched?’
It’s obvious that he’ll bite you as if he’s been waiting for you.
Of course, Father Pale would have helped to block that part to some extent, but it might have been a bit burdensome for Pale alone.
Didn’t you overturn Levendo and come down before coming here?
It was Caron who felt sorry towards Pale for no reason.
“First, I plan to ask around among the elves in Galad.”
“Oh, and I’m meeting the regent here tomorrow.”
Yulich said in a serious voice.
“yes.”
Communication ends there.
After successfully completing the communication, Caron let out a light breath and stood up from his seat.
News of the Demon King of Massacre has reached Cheonghae Castle, so countermeasures will be prepared soon.
It was Caron’s job to pass on the information.
‘For the time being, I can focus on Kerua.’
That foolish bastard.
I had to find that fool who fought alongside me until the very end without leaving.
Charon was certain that Kerua would definitely be alive.
There’s no way he would wander around and die.
The full-scale investigation will begin tomorrow, right after I meet the regent of this city.
Since I finished reporting to Cheonghae Castle, my first priority was to return to my accommodations and get some rest.
After organizing his thoughts like that, Caron opened the door and went out into the hallway.
And then he nodded slightly and greeted the female elf who was waiting at the counter.
“I’ll use it well and leave.”
Then she answered.
“Thank you for using our service.”
A voice that flows gently.
At her voice, Caron’s eyes widened.
“You can speak human language? No, when you came in here earlier, you clearly didn’t say anything… … .”
How difficult was it to find this place in the square?
After gesturing and moving around in front of countless elves, I was finally able to find this relay station.
The elf answered Charon’s question with a bright smile.
“Since my benefactor didn’t say anything, I just thought he might mean something.”
“… … It was a waste of effort, really.”
Somehow, when I first came here, it seemed like something was smiling.
As Charon shook his head and muttered to himself, Guillotine teased him as if he found it amusing.
-That’s why if you’re stupid, your body suffers, Master. But you were kind of funny earlier. Maybe you have a talent for clowning?
‘shut up.’
As Charon was sighing, the female elf spoke in a soft voice.
“But it was still cute.”
“Is that a compliment?”
“of course”
Caron Reston.
If you include my past life, I am 46 years old this year.
It was an age when I felt good when I was complimented on being cute.
6.
After finishing all their business, Charon and his party returned to the lodging that Orion had assigned them.
A beautiful wooden mansion located close to the World Tree.
Arriving at their accommodation, Charon and his party were able to realize that Orion had not given them this mansion simply for its appearance.
“Isn’t this the dew of the natural world tree?”
“Brother Leo, the dew of the World Tree is originally natural.”
“That’s what they say.”
The rest of the group, except for Utula who didn’t use magic, could not help but exclaim in awe at the sheer amount of magic power felt throughout the mansion.
It felt like magic was accumulating in my body just by breathing.
“No matter how abundant the magical power is, it won’t be as good as Cheonghae Castle. In Cheonghae Castle, you can absorb Cheongmyeong’s magical power as it is, but here, you have to go through the hassle of converting the magical power. Well, except for Cheonghae Castle… … This place is the best.”
There is a reason why elves are a blessed race.
An enormous amount of magical power gifted by a transcendent being called the World Tree.
Moreover, because of this, their lifespan is overwhelmingly longer than that of humans.
The average lifespan of elves is easily over two hundred years?
If only the number of races had been greater, they might have dominated the continent long ago.
“Now that I think about it, it seems like there weren’t any knights among the elves.”
Leo recalled the last battle.
The appearance of elves fighting using bows and spirits.
It was Leon who answered Leo’s question on his behalf.
“That’s because elves don’t have magic cores. Knights basically process magic through a ritual and use it, right?”
“Why don’t elves have magic cores?”
“Elfs are beings that resemble nature. In contrast, the magic core is an organ that was created by humans to go against the laws of nature in order to overcome their limits. In other words, they are fundamentally the opposite.”
Certainly, Leon was a man of many knowledge.
There was no need for Caron to add an explanation.
“Does that mean elves can’t condense magical power?”
“That’s the conclusion, right? That’s why there are so many magicians and sorcerers. Of course, magic uses pure magic power, and magic doesn’t really change magic power either.”
Caron nodded at Leon’s neat explanation and added one more word.
“It’s because it’s advantageous for elves to utilize their abundant magical power as is, that’s how they developed. To begin with, elves have an overwhelming amount of magical power they can store in their bodies. On the other hand, humans… … have to extract maximum efficiency due to racial limitations, right?”
For that reason, the way human wizards and elven wizards use magic is also quite different.
If an elf wizard pushes forward with magical power, a human wizard strengthens his magic through his own secret methods.
It can be said that such characteristics created the difference between elven and human civilizations.
“Okay, let’s end this useful knowledge time here.”
Caron got up from the sofa and spoke to Leo and Leon.
“I guess I should practice magic power training, right?”
Leo and Leon swallowed simultaneously at Charon’s words.
“Neither of you have been able to properly practice your magical powers since the battle with the slaughter bastard, right? As the younger brother, I will help you practice your magic.”
At those words, Leo’s expression turned colder than anyone else’s.
Leo began to look for excuses while avoiding Charon’s gaze.
“Ahem, where is Utula now?”
“Utula doesn’t use magic, right? There’s a training ground in the backyard of the mansion, so he said he’d warm up a bit there before coming in. So don’t worry about it, hyung.”
Charon learned one thing painfully through this battle.
The fact that the growth of your colleagues is just as important as your own growth.
Of course, I won’t always be with Leo and Leon, but I will need their help in the war that will come someday.
‘Brother Leo has become stronger than expected, but it’s still not enough.’
Even Caron acknowledged Leo’s growth, but Caron still expected more from Leo.
Born into the Duke of Reston, it was inevitable that he would fight against the demons.
‘I would like to change the minds of my first and second children, but… … .’
The sons of Halo seem to have forgotten that there are more important things than family politics.
But it won’t be easy to change them.
Because the sweet power of being the successor is not something that can be easily given up.
That’s why I’m just maintaining it to the extent of instilling in them a sense of crisis.
But their children are different.
Hugo, Leon, and Leo.
For those who see the world through their missions, there was still plenty of room for change.
So Charon.
“I hope that everyone will feel like they are being reborn while staying in Daesurim.”
Here, I hope they will achieve something meaningful.
Didn’t you just gain the valuable experience of fighting the Demon King?
“Honestly, I was the only one who properly hit the Demon King’s body, right? That’s proof that you all are still very weak.”
At those words, Leon nodded silently, and Leo also sighed in agreement.
“I plan to continue training and practicing magic while searching for Kerua Act, so if you have any questions, please tell me now.”
At that moment, Leon raised his hand.
“Caron. I’ve been feeling this way since last time, but why do you keep mixing formal and informal speech?”
“You have an older sister. If only you were here, I would have spoken informally to you.”
“Just don’t worry about it and just talk freely. It’s just that I’m uncomfortable. I tend to get a little nervous about that kind of thing.”
“Still, the age difference… … .”
When the topic of age came up, Leon’s once gentle expression hardened into a cold one.
At that sight, Caron coughed a few times, then smiled brightly and said.
“Okay, sis. Is it okay now?”
“Okay. You should have done this a long time ago. I’m ready to start practicing.”
She nodded and then sat cross-legged.
Leo also followed Leon’s lead with a relieved expression.
Caron, who had easily obtained the cooperation of his cousins, said with a sly smile.
“Actually, I have something else in mind. I plan to use my magic power to strengthen my brother and sister’s magic channels. Since this is my first time trying it, there may be side effects… … . First, Leo, come here.”
“Why me first?”
“Sister, you’re a 6-star and brother, you’re a 5-star. Even if something goes wrong, wouldn’t it be better for a 5-star to go wrong? Okay, take a deep breath and start practicing slowly. Just draw your magic power to where I lead you, okay?”
“… … Let me write a will in advance.”
“Hey. You don’t trust me?”
“Would you believe it?”
“No? Of course I don’t believe it.”
At those words, Leo was left speechless.
And after giving up everything, I muttered with my eyes tightly shut.
“… … Let’s finish this quickly.”
That was the moment Leo started operating the Jehaesik.
“Ughhhhhhhhh.”
Charon’s magic began to seep into Leo’s body.
While Leo’s screams were pouring out, Caron looked at Leon and smiled brightly.
“Next is my sister. Stay alert.”
Leon couldn’t help but shiver at the smile whose meaning he couldn’t understand.
That night was very long.
There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
