5.

After the mission was handed down to Caron, preparations began immediately.

Since this was a solo mission before joining up locally, there wasn’t really much to prepare.

At best, a guillotine?

– It’s been a long time since I’ve been out. I thought I was going crazy, you idiot master. Huh? If I was going to be locked in the waiting room, I should have taken you to a place with a nice view.

“Does the Demon Sword suffer from mental illness?”

-Then it won’t work? I’m a person too, a person. Phew.

This is Caron’s room located in Cheonghae Castle.

Caron was doing final checks before leaving Cheonghaesung.

– An adventure to find companions from a past life… … . What a romantic kill. Do you think they’re still alive?

“If there are any guys above 8 stars, they will be alive.”

-What are you going to do when you meet him? The master is the reincarnation of Cain. Are you going to reveal it like that?

“Hey, that’s not fun. I don’t really have any special purpose, I just want to check if someone is alive or dead.”

That will do.

I just want to confirm life or death, and if he is alive, I just want to see his face.

Those who had been driven out of the Empire and lived their entire lives under the surveillance of the Duke of Reston could not possibly be living well.

Perhaps it was more likely that he would be hostile towards himself, as he was born as Halo’s grandson.

-If you’re alive, what are you going to do with it again?

“No way.”

-Then what are we going to do?

“Go and think about it, okay?”

It’s not even certain whether I’ll be able to meet the guys.

There was no need to be upset in that situation.

Caron nodded briefly and opened the box Heinrich had brought him.

A box of not small size.

If it’s Halo’s gift, it must be something extraordinary.

Caron opened the box with excitement.

Inside the box was a necklace with a blue gem, and Guillotine reacted as soon as he saw it.

-… … You really do love your grandson so much. You’re giving this to the owner?

“explanation.”

-Put on the necklace and breathe in magic power.

Guillotine, who was bothered by everything except killing enemies, must have been something unusual for him to react like that.

Caron obediently put the necklace around his neck as Guillotine said, and slowly infused it with magic power.

Woohoo.

Magical power spread from the jewel in the center of the necklace and soon covered Charon’s entire body in an instant.

The magical power instantly transformed into the shape of armor.

A dark blue armor appeared, like the blade of a guillotine.

“oh.”

Charon let out a small exclamation of admiration as he checked the armor through the mirror.

An armor that looks similar to a coat at first glance.

Although it was quite thick, it didn’t feel heavy at all, perhaps because it was made of horsepower.

-This is Cabana, Lael’s armor. Even though it looks like this, it is an armor that contains the essence of ancient magic. You can think of it as a work that culminates the skills of the dwarves and the magic of the dragons.

This is the armor of the Duke of Reston, the founder of the family, Rael.

Among the treasures of the Duke of Reston that Charon knew of, there was no armor like this. Like the guillotine, it seems to be one of the treasures that disappeared from the family’s history.

-Depending on the amount of magic power the user possesses, the defense power increases, and the user can also choose the shape of the armor. Normally, you just wear it as a necklace and that’s it. I wondered where this was kept, but it turns out the owner of the house had hidden it somewhere.

“What a ridiculous armor! Can’t this guy talk like you?”

-Of all the equipment Rael used, I was the only one with an ego, you stupid master.

“That’s fortunate.”

-what?

Charon moved his body, chewing lightly on Guillotine’s voice.

It was so comfortable that I almost felt like I wasn’t wearing armor.

In addition, defense power increases according to the amount of magic power?

If true, isn’t this truly a rare piece of equipment? It’s even perfectly portable, as it can be worn as a necklace during normal times.

It was an item so enormous that its value could not be estimated.

-I guess they’re giving it to you so you don’t get stabbed while wandering around?

“Should I test my defenses? How long can I last with this? Should I go to Lord Jeras and ask him to put a stab in me?”

-Are you crazy? Oh, you are crazy.

Anyway, it was definitely a ridiculous armor.

I really liked the fact that I could freely adjust the shape of the armor.

“This is the armor of the ancestors.”

Could it be that he’s worried because he has to go on a mission alone?

It looks like it may be equipment that has been passed down only to the heads of the clan.

It’s like only the heads of the clans and elders knew about the guillotine.

Caron smiled as she played with the necklace.

“You have to use what you’re given wisely. If you let things like this rot, you’ll be punished.”

Although blocking enemy attacks was the most important law, that did not mean that armor was unimportant.

A master never blames his equipment?

That statement is an absolute lie.

“The more expert you are, the more you care about your equipment.”

-That’s right, master. The more advanced you are, the better your equipment will be to maximize your efficiency.

I’ll have to check the defense myself, but what if this armor had incredible defense?

That alone could create a ton of variables.

For example, it would be possible to use a tactic like deliberately inducing an attack and exploiting an opening at any time.

Caron spoke to Guillotine, carefully holding the necklace in his hands.

“How to transform shapes?”

-Just think of the shape the owner wants and breathe in magic power.

“It’s simple.”

I gave it a try right away.

I envisioned a shape of plate armor that covered everything from the helmet to the feet.

OK.

Woohoo.

In an instant, a full-body blue plate armor appeared.

But still, I didn’t feel any sense of weight.

This form of armor wasn’t exactly Charon’s cup of tea, but it could be useful depending on how you use it.

for example.

“It’s perfect for hiding your identity.”

It seemed like it could be useful even when you need to operate without revealing your identity.

At those words, Guillotine spoke in a dull voice.

-But isn’t that enough to just cover the face?

“But isn’t this cooler?”

-Is that important?

“Of course it’s important.”

Caron Reston, seventeen years old.

It was an age where being stylish was still important.

In this way, another treasure was given to Charon.

6.

The next morning.

Cheonghae-seong train station.

“I will be careful on the way back, Father and Mother.”

Caron smiled and bowed to his parents.

Then, Charon’s mother, Sarah, hugged Charon with a worried expression.

“You must come back whenever it seems dangerous, understood?”

“Mother, you should eat well while I’m away.”

After Pale began to stay in Cheonghae Castle and carry out his important duties, Sarah also came to Cheonghae Castle and began to stay with him.

Sarah stroked Caron’s face with a regretful expression.

“I’m always worried about you.”

“I will contact you often.”

“……okay.”

Sarah’s warm words filled with concern.

Caron also smiled and hugged her.

After exchanging greetings with Sarah, Caron glanced at Pale and said.

“Father. What I asked you to do was… … .”

“I prepared it.”

Pale took out a small card from his bosom.

A black card that fits perfectly in the palm of your hand.

There was a very subtle trace of magic on the card.

“It was issued in your name.”

“Wow, this is actually being issued.”

“Considering the deposits you have made at the Imperial Bank, it is only natural that it should be issued.”

Caron received the black card from Pale.

This palm-sized card is nothing short of a miracle.

The official name of this black card is Imperial Bank of Korea Settlement Agency Certificate.

It can be used anywhere within the Empire and can be used to make all payments.

Even if you went to a branch of the Imperial Bank with this card, you could withdraw money.

Whether you withdraw in gold coins or in the paper money used by the Empire.

An artifact that literally allows you to cast magic with money.

In underdeveloped regions, it may be difficult to use because many people are not familiar with it, but it is definitely available in cities where Imperial Bank branches are located.

Of course, the issuance conditions are also very strict.

There is a condition that commoners cannot receive it no matter how much money they have, and only the highest class among the nobles can receive it.

The mere presence of this small card is proof of one’s supreme status.

“Of course, you can’t use it outside the Empire’s borders, so make sure to withdraw your gold before you leave the Empire. Do you understand?”

“Yes, father.”

“okay.”

Caron quietly put the card in his bosom.

Pale, who had been quietly watching the scene, smiled bitterly and said.

“It would be good to use it sparingly if possible.”

“I don’t think it will even affect my balance?”

“… … That’s true.”

In terms of personal wealth alone, he was one of the top three in Cheonghae Province.

Anyway, that way the money problem was solved.

“Caron.”

Juliche, who had been quietly watching the greetings between his children and parents, approached with brisk strides.

“Are you familiar with the mission details?”

“yes.”

“After receiving your mercenary ID from Thebes, head straight to the southern border city of Leben. From there, you can proceed at your own discretion.”

“It’s my specialty.”

“If possible, move quietly.”

“Thank you for your concern, Elder 3.”

Because it was a solo mission, not many people came out to see Charon off.

Juliche brought his face close to Charon’s ear and spoke in a small voice.

“I strongly urge you to give me the cabana. I hope you remember that.”

“… … Do I have to return this when I get back?”

“How could that be? You are the only one in this family who can carry on the will of the founder. If your life is in danger, run away without hesitation.”

“Hey, no matter what, running away is a bit much.”

“Always remember that your life is the most important! Nothing is more precious than your life! If you are anxious, I will follow you… … .”

“I will keep that in mind!”

If you’re not careful, it looks like they’re really going to follow you.

Caron quickly bowed and greeted them, then boarded the train.

Woof woof woof.

As soon as Charon got on board, the train’s engine started up.

“I’ll contact you!”

“Caron said, sticking his head out the train window. His parents smiled and waved at him.

“Please come back safely.”

“Have a nice trip.”

The train departed with my parents seeing me off.

Pale and Sarah watched the back of the train moving away without saying anything.

Pale gently held Sarah’s trembling hand.

“Don’t worry, ma’am. It’ll be fine.”

“I know. But what can I do if I’m worried?”

The two stood like that at the station until the train disappeared from sight.

Yulich watched the couple and smiled bitterly. Then he spoke in a soft voice.

“Don’t worry too much, as Pale said. Charon is much stronger than you think. Even the most skilled fighters wouldn’t dare show their teeth to Charon.”

Caron has achieved remarkable things over the past four years.

Jehaesik has reached the end of the sixth level, and his swordsmanship is also dazzling.

And that’s not all.

The guillotine, the decapitation sword, and the cabana.

Of the Shijo’s treasures, two were given to Charon.

Even looking back at the family’s history, it was an unprecedented event.

“Have faith in your son. Charon will soon become the pride of our family.”

Juliche hoped that Charon would gain the enlightenment he needed to reach the 7th star through this mission.

The enlightenment for the 7 stars could not be obtained in the training hall or practice room.

A battle between life and death.

Because only there will you find your own path.

‘I’m looking forward to it.’

An out-of-control mad dog.

That’s what always comes up when the Senate evaluates Charon.

How many accidents has Caron actually had in Cheonghae-seong in the past four years?

There were countless times when I clashed head-on with my uncles Tails and Raphael.

Charon was a clever child from the beginning. He was given four years, and during those four years, he grew into an even more horrible monster.

A clever mind and the brute force to back it up.

‘The thing we should be worried about is not Caron, but the guys who will be attacked by Caron.’

Now that monster is loose in Cheonghae Castle.

Caron will definitely come back with an accident that is incomparable to the one from four years ago.

‘Go wild and run wild.’

Yulich turned around with a smile.

Cheong Hae-seong has once again unleashed his mad dog upon the world.

A mad dog that can’t even be compared to 4 years ago.

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