Episode 178 56. The Aristocrats (3)

5.

A spacious training ground located in front of the chieftain’s house.

It was extremely plain for a chieftain’s training ground, but that didn’t mean it was strange.

Should we call it a sparring ground worthy of a nobleman?

In the middle of the training ground stood two men.

A young man and an old nobleman.

The young man held a sword in his hand, and the nobleman held a spear.

“I really like your personality, Caron Reston. You’ll definitely fit in with us.”

The old chieftain, Chief Tau, smiled as he aimed the sharp tip of his spear at Charon.

“Are you mentally prepared? If you win this duel, I will give you my daughter.”

“You knew from the beginning that my daughter and I had no relationship, right?”

“Of course. First of all, your guy is far from my daughter’s taste. He definitely likes guys who are rough around the edges rather than skinny guys like you.”

Is it because I came up to the training ground?

Taugar no longer seemed to have any intention of hiding his true feelings.

He waved lightly at his daughter, who was looking at him pitifully from afar.

“I really appreciate you saving my daughter.”

“The person who says he is grateful is thinking of beating up someone. Is this some kind of nobleman-style expression of gratitude?”

“Hehehe. You’re talking a lot. Are you scared?”

“Of course it’s scary.”

Even if you bring out the power of Guillotine and Pluto at full power, it won’t be easy to deal with them.

The only good thing is that it’s not a duel to the death.

Even holding on seemed burdensome.

In response to Charon’s honest answer, Tau aimed the tip of his spear at Charon. Then he spoke in a low voice.

“If it weren’t for you, I would have burned that damned city down myself. Or at least tore its lord to pieces.”

“I guess so. You have the skills to do so.”

“I also heard how you dealt with that damned bastard. You made him a traitor and sent his entire family to hell. That was a clean deal.”

It was the story of Count Leandro.

To that, Caron shrugged his shoulders and replied.

“I guess I also took out some of my personal anger.”

“Thank you for your help. This couplet is my way of expressing my gratitude to you. I don’t think there is a better reward for a junior who is walking the path of martial arts.”

Woooooooooo-!

A tremendous amount of magical power begins to emanate from Tau’s body.

Blue magical power instantly takes over the surroundings.

The magic power boasted a breathtaking density. And at the same time, it seemed to resemble the magic power of Cheongmyeong.

“When I was young, I used to go around like you, showing off my fighting spirit. But since I got to this point, I just can’t do that.”

“… …Because there are more people to take responsibility for.”

“Yes, that is true. The duty of a chieftain carries with it great responsibility. That is the destiny of those who go before.”

Tau focused his magical power on the tip of his spear.

Woof woof woof woof-!

The resonance begins to resonate in all directions.

The tip of Tau’s spear was bathed in a bright blue aura.

-It definitely resembles the magic of Cheongmyeong.

Guillotine also meekly agreed with Charon’s idea.

Taugar is the chieftain of the Horde. Come to think of it, I think I felt the same way about Batar, the chieftain’s son.

What on earth could be the reason?

“You have a good eye for it. Have you gotten a rough idea of ​​my magical powers?”

“I have so many questions to ask, Chief?”

“The martial arts of the Duke of Reston and the martial arts of our clan share the same roots. So they are bound to feel similar.”

“… …The roots are the same?”

Caron remembered what Guillotine had said to him last time.

The person who helped the Suin tribe settle in this Plains of Rest was none other than their founder, Lael Reston.

“The Savior taught us martial arts and magical power training methods. While other water races rejected his teachings, our tribe willingly accepted them.”

“Is the Savior perhaps our ancestor?”

“okay.”

If so, that would explain this familiar feeling.

The Jehae ceremony, which has been passed down through the Reston Dukes, is a method of ceremonial practice created by the founder, Lael.

If the nobles had also received magical training from Rael, it would naturally be inevitable that they would feel similar.

“Then the reason why the powerful clans value power is because of that teaching… … .”

“No? That’s just because our clan itself is a warlike race. Even babies start swinging their fists at anyone they don’t like the moment they start walking.”

“… … That kind of race is still well maintained?”

“That’s true.”

Caron stuck out his tongue, then smiled faintly.

The feeling of magic was similar, but the method itself was clearly different.

To put it bluntly, the Chieftain’s magical power is extremely inefficient.

It was overly condensed and unnatural at the same time. It seemed focused solely on destructive power.

‘Is it close to the original form of the Jehaesik?’

On the other hand, the Duke of Reston’s method of divination has been improved over time to make some of its methods more efficient.

As time passed, it was only natural that the training method became more efficient.

“Get your bearings, Caron Reston.”

Tau said in a low voice.

“To be honest, our clan is not wealthy enough to give you a large reward. The beasts coming from the Eastern Great Forest are polluting the plains, and our proud warriors are falling one by one.”

The father’s expression of worry for his daughter is already gone.

Tau’s face bore the majesty of a leader of a tribe.

“I have nothing to give you, so I have no choice but to fill it with my body. I assure you, our ignorance is by no means shallow. Although we have taken a different path from the Duke of Reston, it will be a good experience.”

What an incredibly shameless statement.

But Caron had no choice but to admit those words.

Muhak, which grew in different ways while sharing the same roots.

It may not be possible to say what is right. Moreover, since they share the same roots, it was an excellent opportunity to correct the shortcomings of the Jehaesik.

The Jehae method is one of the best magical power cultivation methods on the continent, but that doesn’t mean it has no shortcomings.

If done well, it could be of great help to Caron himself and the future of the Duke of Reston.

‘I’m so lucky.’

I never thought I would encounter such a coincidence.

At this point, it was almost bizarre. It almost felt like someone had planned it all out.

But Caron shook his head slightly to shake off the distracting thoughts.

It was not the time to think of anything else.

The eight-star strongman was aiming his spear at him.

“Then, this junior will start first.”

Charon looked at Taugar, his grip on the guillotine lightly tightening.

At those words, Taugar nodded and laughed heartily.

“Haha! Alright. I’ll give you the lead.”

It was Charon who gained a lot of enlightenment while fighting Ugo last time.

Starting with the sword to deal with the strong, and various improvisations.

It was an opportunity to fully embody the enlightenment of that time.

“Be prepared, Chief.”

“huh?”

“Elderly attacks. That’s my specialty.”

At those words, Tau burst out laughing again. Then, the corners of his lips slightly raised as he spoke.

“This guy was a total bastard. Who do you take after? Your father? Your mother?”

“Grandpa. Your parents are both really kind.”

“In the meantime, your filial piety is deep. Hehe.”

“going.”

Charon charged towards Taugar without hesitation.

Blue magical powers began to intertwine, and strong waves began to crash into the training ground.

6.

As soon as Charon arrived, news of his showdown with Taugar quickly spread throughout the yurt.

The reaction from the residents was explosive.

“A great human being has appeared.”

“I heard you were on par with the chieftain… … . The chieftain probably gave you some leeway, but still, wasn’t it really amazing?”

“Yes. That’s enough to be worthy of being our guest!”

As expected, the duel was a defeat for Caron.

It was a match where the weight class difference was serious from the beginning.

However, it was not a one-sided defeat. During the duel, Charon kicked Taugar in the waist.

As a result.

“Hey, you crazy bastard! Where in the world can you find a guy who kicks an old man’s waist like that?”

“No, didn’t you attack my heart first, Chief?”

“That was me. My fingertips were shaking, so I made a mistake!”

“Are you being shameless? If your hands are shaking so much that you can’t even stab me with the spear properly, then you shouldn’t have asked me to spar in the first place!”

The two were lying side by side in the hospital room, glaring at each other.

“I told you, if I hadn’t avoided it, I would have just become a widower. I’m not even married yet! At least I have to give my parents some grandchildren… .”

“Caron. But you have a daughter. I think it would be better… … I think that would be better.”

An irony that resembles Charon?

It was terrifying just to imagine.

As Leo muttered as if he was fed up, Charon glared at Leo and clenched his fists.

“Brother Leo.”

“Huh, huh?”

“Give me a break?”

“I don’t know what, what you’re saying is given away.”

“Do you want to go?”

“… … I’m still your cousin… … .”

“Grrrrrr.”

The madness is severe. Is it because I’m with the water people? I feel like I’m becoming more and more like a beast.

So Leo decided not to provoke Charon any more.

He’s really crazy. Let’s not scratch his head and make a fuss.

“Patriarch, do you really want to do that to your grandson?”

“Grandpa! I’m only sixty-two years old, you brat.”

“But why is your face and hair like that?”

“This is you punk! It’s because my fur is white! Didn’t you see me in the sparring earlier?”

“aha.”

When Taugar unleashed his magical power, white fur would sprout for a moment.

“Come to think of it, you didn’t even use beast transformation? Don’t the water people usually fight in beast transformation?”

Tau replied with a laugh at those words.

“There’s no need to show my true form to a little punk. If I had turned into a beast, I would have devoured someone like you in one breath a long time ago… … .”

Taaaaah.

Tau’s provocative remarks were quickly suppressed by his daughter, Adina.

Because Adina had charged up her power and slapped Tau’s back with her palm.

“Kekekekeke.”

“It’s pathetic, it’s pathetic. Dad. Please don’t do something embarrassing in front of others.”

“Beol, are you already taking his side?”

“Want one more?”

“……sorry.”

Taugar could only quietly succumb to his daughter’s wrath.

Adina, who had easily subdued her father like that, sighed and looked at Charon.

“Are you okay? Sorry. My father is just like that.”

“Surely the chief… … .”

“The chief?”

“… … No, no.”

Caron was unable to bear to see his child speak ill of his parents.

If it were Leo, he would have criticized his second eldest uncle without hesitation, but he wasn’t that close with Adina, was he?

That’s why I barely managed to stop the words from coming out of my mouth.

Leo looked at Adina with admiration at the sight.

“… … That’s amazing, Miss Adina.”

“Suddenly?”

“It’s not easy to subdue Charon. Really… … . You’re really amazing.”

“Brother. I wasn’t overpowered, I just lost this time.”

“That’s it, you punk.”

Caron let out a deep sigh. He waved his hand lightly at Adina and Leo.

“Could you both go out? I have something important to discuss with you, Chief.”

Then Taugar spoke as if he had been waiting.

“Okay, both of you go out.”

“… … Aren’t you two fighting again?”

“How could that be? What happens in the training grounds is only in the training grounds. That’s what it means to be a true warrior. Isn’t that right, Caron Reston?”

“Of course, Chief.”

Adina looked at the two with a puzzled expression. Then she slowly nodded.

“Okay, Leo? Let’s go for a walk in front.”

“great.”

The man and woman left the hospital room, leaving only Charon and Tau in the room.

An uncomfortable silence fell between them for a moment.

How much time has passed like that?

“Let me ask you one thing, dear.”

Taugar, who got up from bed quietly, looked at Charon with a complicated expression.

“Ask, old lady.”

Taugar considered his question for a long time, then asked Charon in a low voice.

“… … Who the hell are you?”

There was a lot of meaning in those words.

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