Episode 137 43. The wolf must be alone.

One.

The rumor spread quickly.

In less than a day, everyone in Cheonghaesung learned of the deeds of Halo’s grandchildren, including Charon.

So the day passed, and the next morning.

“… …Cowardly bastard.”

“Does it make sense for you to just get away like that? I really won’t listen to you, Caron, ever again.”

“It’s my fault, Leon. It’s because I couldn’t stop Caron.”

“That’s right! You should have stopped us.”

Halo’s grandchildren gathered in the courtyard of Cheonghae Castle and harshly criticized Charon.

But Caron looked at Leon with his ears pierced.

“But your sister’s marriage proposal has been put on hold for now, right? It’s all thanks to me, so you should be grateful to me. That’s why the black-haired beast… … .”

“We’re all blonde, you punk.”

“Anyway, I told you not to take in yellow-headed animals.”

“… … No, who in the world would cause trouble and then just get away with it?”

Leo said, glaring at Charon.

The reason they can’t help but be angry is because they were disciplined through the council of elders.

『For disrupting the family law, this council of elders hereby orders Hugo Reston, Leon Reston, and Leo Reston to be placed on probation for three months. During the probation period, all duties will be suspended, and they will not be allowed to leave the city of Qinghai until the order of the head of the family. They will also be ordered to attend the Senate every morning to receive instruction in etiquette.』

As expected, they too were not free from discipline.

Up to that point, it was an area that Hugo and the rest could fully understand.

Because it’s true that I made a mistake.

But what they failed to acknowledge was the disposition that followed.

『Caron Reston’s crimes are particularly heinous, but his punishment has been postponed at the request of the Elf Regent.』

The actual mastermind behind the incident escaped punishment using his duties as regent as an excuse.

I couldn’t help but get angry.

“What can I do? The regent said it had to be me. To be honest, I also want to rest in Cheonghae Castle without thinking about anything.”

“… … Should I let you rest for the rest of your life? Leo, hold Charon’s arm.”

“Yes, sister.”

“Let me throw my fist only once.”

Anyway, he was the youngest and most annoying kid.

Leon looked at Caron’s face and sighed deeply. Then he smiled faintly and said.

“Thank you, Caron.”

“Why are you suddenly like that, sis?”

“If you’re grateful, then be grateful.”

It was a life lived while obeying my father’s words my whole life.

Perhaps, if it weren’t for Charon, I might have followed my father’s will this time too.

“sister.”

Caron smiled leisurely.

“My sister did it.”

“It’s all thanks to you… … .”

“Who was the first to knock on your uncle’s office? Of course, it was your sister. All I did was give my impressions behind your back. Hehe.”

It only took a moment for the emotion to fade away.

Leon just sighed at Caron’s playful voice.

“Anyway, Sister and Leo need time to fully embody what they’ve learned through this mission. There’s a lot to do during this period of confinement.”

Those two must have learned a lot from this mission.

The battle with the fragments of massacre, and Kerua.

Finally, I got to see the Empress’s spear with my own eyes.

They must have been all valuable experiences.

“It is said that we need time to take a break.”

They will probably get stronger at a rapid pace during these three months.

This is Cheonghae Castle.

Because it was the most suitable place for training.

“And that goes for you too, Brother Hugo. You know?”

Caron continued speaking, this time addressing Hugo.

“It is true that you have stabilized the magic core with the dew of the World Tree, but it will take some time to completely digest the dew.”

“okay.”

“Brother. Can I ask you one thing?”

Hugo nodded slowly at Caron’s words.

“However much.”

“While I’m away from Cheonghae Castle, please take good care of Sister Leon and Brother Leo. Not just in their training, but in other areas as well.”

It is a situation where the powerful figures of the family have rebelled.

There will be many things that will put a strain on you one way or another.

“I’m sure my father would be happy to help, but I think it might be difficult for him to do it alone.”

An incident where the grandchildren rebelled against the older generation.

Based on this incident, the atmosphere in Cheonghae-seong is bound to change.

Charon, while you were away from Cheonghaesung, someone had to hold your umbrella.

That’s why I brought Hugo here.

Fortunately, Hugo also seemed to know exactly what he had to do.

“Don’t worry, Caron.”

“It’s sturdy.”

“By the way, when do you plan to leave Cheonghaeseong?”

Caron shrugged in response to Hugo’s question.

“Two weeks later. There’s still one thing I have to learn.”

The 7th form of the Sea Sword, Sea Fog.

I planned to familiarize myself with it before leaving Cheonghaesung.

As expected of the 7th form, it was a difficult form to acquire, but it wasn’t really a problem for Caron.

‘I’ve dealt with so many herbivores in my past life that it’s become tiresome.’

Haemu was one of Halo’s main prey.

A typical attack by the Searang Sword, with overwhelming force.

As for Caron, it was the herbivore he had faced more often than any other herbivore.

So, learning it itself won’t be difficult.

‘The question is how to digest it.’

After quickly finishing his thoughts, Caron spoke to his cousins.

“Anyway, don’t even think about slacking off and being away from me. Okay?”

“… … Don’t worry about useless things.”

“Ah, what should I do first when I go out? First, I should go eat something delicious. Since my sister and brothers will be stuck in Cheonghae Castle, I should play hard for the three of us. If there’s anything you want to do, just tell me. I’ll do it for you.”

The other three could not help but clench their fists after hearing those words.

When it comes to turning people upside down, Caron is the best.

2.

Time passed very quickly in Cheonghae Castle.

Learn the 7th Sea Fog from Jeras, and spend the rest of your time practicing magic.

When I was bored, I would go to Haerangdo and train the new recruits, and the two weeks passed by in the blink of an eye.

While Caron was having such a fulfilling time, Pale called Caron to his office.

smart.

“Come in.”

“You called, Father.”

Caron entered the office smiling.

There were two guests in the office: Urtula and Orion, whom Charon had brought to Cheonghaesung.

Pale smiled kindly at his son.

“Sit down.”

“yes.”

If you were to pick the busiest person in Cheonghae Province recently, it would definitely be Pale.

In addition to the already heavy workload, he was also burdened with the burden of interacting with the elves.

But Pale’s face was full of life.

“Father. If you keep doing this, you’ll become younger.”

“It’s all thanks to you. And Charon. This father is not old enough to talk about rejuvenation yet.”

“I am so proud as your son.”

This was because Charon gave the World Tree’s dew solution to his parents as a gift.

The dew of the World Tree is both an elixir and an excellent health tonic.

It was bound to have an outstanding effect even on ordinary people who had not acquired magical powers.

“Can I expect to see my little brother?”

“… … Hehehe. I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“I think it would be nice to have a younger sister.”

“There is nothing I can’t say when my guests are there.”

“Hey, guests?”

Charon sat down on the chair and put his arm around Urtula and Orion, who were sitting on either side of him.

“We are colleagues who have gone through life and death together. Isn’t that right?”

At those words, Utula chuckled and patted his chest.

“You’re right, Charon!”

Orion on the other hand.

“I wish you would give me some.”

He sighed and shook his head.

“There must be a reason why you called us here so early in the morning.”

Caron smiled broadly, arm in arm with his colleagues.

At that sight, Pale smiled faintly and nodded.

“I heard the two of you are about to go back.”

“Huh? Already?”

“Caron. Did you know that Utula is the next chieftain of the Black Axe Tribe?”

It was truly shocking information.

“… …The next chieftain?”

“Yes. A letter arrived from the Black Axe tribe yesterday morning. Please read it.”

The letter that Pale handed over had the following written in large letters:

『Chief. Critical. Next Chief. Utula. Return. Demanded.』

As you can see from the Giants’ personality, the letters are short and thick.

As soon as Charon read the letter, he glanced at Utula.

Then Utula knocked on his chest again.

“Why are you looking at me like that, Charon!”

“… … You were the next chief?”

“Well, that’s what happened! Before I ascended to the position of chieftain! I came out to experience the world!”

“No, why are you telling me that now?”

“Haven’t you ever asked!”

A confident answer.

At those words, Caron could only sigh and put his hand on his head.

“If you’re a big shot, you’re a big shot. You should have told me a long time ago.”

“Status doesn’t matter! The friendship between warriors is the most important!”

“Haaaaaah.”

It was such a ridiculous answer that I couldn’t say anything.

Pale smiled faintly as he listened to the conversation between Caron and Utula.

“Caron. Do you know about the Black Axe Tribe?”

“I don’t know the details.”

“It is a great tribe, one of the three largest among the twelve tribes of the Giants. That means that Utula is the next chieftain of the great tribe.”

At Pale’s explanation, Caron looked at Utula again. Then, as if he didn’t understand, he shook his head.

“Why was that guy held as a slave in Leven?”

“It was my fault for failing. The responsibility is mine. It’s too bad, Charon. I wanted to continue following your journey, but it seems I have to go back!”

Somehow, even considering that he was a giant, he fought well.

If all the giants in the world could fight the Demon King of Slaughter like that, then the giants would rule the world.

“But don’t worry! Once I ascend to the position of Chieftain, I will officially declare an alliance with the Duke of Reston!”

“Do you really have to go that far… … .”

“Our tribe has many mines that produce good quality minerals. They will be of help to you as well.”

The giants live in a place called Mount Lubar, located to the west of the Kingdom of Zion.

Mount Lubar is one of the most famous mountains on the continent, and is also an incredibly tall and wide mountain.

Although it was famous for its high-quality minerals, it was also cut off from the continent for quite a long time due to wars between the southern kingdoms.

“Charon. I will be with you and make our tribe rich. Like the elves, we will be together.”

“We are planning to establish a distribution network through the ports of the Kingdom of Zion through consultation with the Kingdom of Zion, Charon. Thanks to the friends you brought, we can gain more.”

Pale looked at Caron with warm eyes.

‘He is a blessed child.’

The fact that nobles gathered like this could only be explained by good fortune.

In the future, my son would meet more people. And they would become another force that would protect him one day.

“Oh, Charon. And I have a request for you. I’m sure you have your own plans, so I’ll hold off on replying for now. I think it would be best for you to decide for yourself.”

Pale then handed Charon a letter with an eagle seal on it.

There is only one group in the Empire that uses the Eagle Seal.

Imperial Academy located in the capital.

Caron took the letter and asked Pale a question.

“Are you by any chance trying to get me into the academy?”

Then Pale shook his head in disgust.

“How could that be? What did they do wrong?”

“… … If anyone heard me, they would think I was a walking disaster.”

“Keuhhh. The weather is nice.”

It was a pale that could not be denied.

Caron glanced at his father’s face, then checked the contents of the letter.

The sender was Professor Julis, his childhood tutor.

『Master Karon. How are you? I am writing this letter to invite you on behalf of the Academy. Please save the people from the tyranny of the vicious Count, and also gain the Empress’s approval… . . . 』

Caron read the letter quickly and said with a sly smile.

“Why don’t you stop by the academy and give a special lecture? That sounds interesting.”

“It also means that your reputation has grown to the point where the Academy has invited you.”

Pale took a sip of the tea placed in front of him and continued speaking in a soft voice.

“I know very well that you have to carry out the elves’ requests. So, if possible, try to decline their requests… … .”

That was when.

Caron put the letter down on the table and said with a bright smile.

“Actually, I was planning to go to the Pajar Sultanate first. If you want to go to the Pajar Sultanate, you have to pass through the capital anyway. The railway is like that, right?”

At those words, Pale’s face quickly turned pale.

“… … Caron. You don’t like being bothered, do you? There’s no need to go to the capital… … .”

“Hey, father. The academy that holds responsibility for the future of this country has personally invited me. How could I turn down this honor?”

I’m going there anyway.

If you’re on your way, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to stop by.

Because I’ve been secretly curious about what the Imperial Guard and Amy have accomplished over the past four years.

“I was already worried about where to start, but thanks to this, my worries have been reduced.”

Caron had no intention of missing this golden opportunity.

So Caron’s next destination was decided.

The mad dog was needlessly sincere.

There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
