Episode 89 27. The train goes (2)
3.
Charon came out of the city, seen off by many people.
I thought I would be so alone.
“… … What are you guys again?”
A man and a woman stood next to Charon.
One person.
“My training is not over yet! Charon Reston. You are a great warrior. I will learn the pride of being a warrior by your side!”
Of course, it was the giants, the Utula, and the other one.
“I just came out with you. I have to go east from here.”
It was the nobleman, Adina.
Both of them were saved by Caron from Leandro.
Adina looked at Charon quietly. Then she suddenly bowed.
“Hey, hey, why are you like this?”
Although Caron was taken aback by the sudden bow, Adina spoke as if nothing had happened.
“Bowing to one’s benefactor is also a custom of our tribe.”
“… … Come to think of it, I heard that Count Leandro’s body was damaged earlier… … .”
“Of course it was my fault. You piece of trash. You won’t be at peace even after you die.”
“You keep the customs… well?”
“Preserving the traditions of our clan is what preserves our identity, Charon Reston.”
Still, Adina is one of the contributors who helped this operation end quickly.
Revelio asked you to stay in the city for a while, saying he would give you a huge reward?
But it seems she left the city behind and took the reward.
“Thank you, Caron Reston. If it weren’t for you… … I would have lived a life where I couldn’t even commit suicide.”
Adina stood up from her seat and spoke to Charon with a soft smile.
Then he took out a horn from his bosom and handed it straight to Charon.
“I had a hard time finding it. You piece of trash. I never thought you would throw this sacred hornpipe in the storage room. This is Charon, a token of our oath. When you come to the Eastern Great Forest one day, blow this hornpipe. Then our clan will come to repay your kindness.”
“You say it’s the sacred horn. Can you give it to me?”
Then Adina smiled brightly and nodded.
“I can lend as much as I want to my benefactor. Since you helped me, I will help you. Since we will meet again anyway… … Let’s keep our farewells short. Then, I will go first.”
“bye.”
In this way, another connection was created.
Still, Adina ran far away in the blink of an eye, perhaps because she had been well treated by the priest.
The sight of tiger-like fur on her back must not have been an optical illusion.
Charon watched Adina until she disappeared from sight, then turned his head and spoke to Urtula.
“So, you’re going to follow me?”
Then Utula struck his chest twice.
“I have nothing to offer you like Adina! So I will help you with your task. I am sure that you will grow if you follow me! A great battle awaits us, Charon Reston.”
“… … I might not want it.”
“Warriors are stronger together. So if we work together, we can win more battles.”
It looks like a strange lump has formed.
Are all giants like this?
Caron sighed and asked Utula.
“Are your people, like you… … . Um, um. This ignorant… no, upright?”
Then Utula shook his head as if it was obvious.
“No way! I’m just a particularly warrior-like person.”
“… … Yeah, if everyone was like you, how could the tribe run properly?”
“Hmm? I don’t know what you mean.”
“no.”
First of all, this guy was definitely a special species even among the giants.
Even if you can control your own size, would taking Utula with you help with the mission?
I had a feeling that it would stand out unnecessarily.
So Caron spoke in a quiet voice.
“But if you want to go down south with me, you’ll need a mercenary ID. I’m actually hiding my identity as well.”
As he said this, Caron took out a medal of the same color from his bosom.
‘There’s no way the Giants would have a mercenary pack… … .’
“Oh! I got one too! A mercenary badge is a must for a Giant who is new to the world!”
Utula took out his mercenary card from his bosom.
Silver mercenary badge.
It was a mercenary badge that proved that he was a 2nd-class mercenary. On the other hand, Caron’s mercenary badge was a mercenary badge of the same color that was given to 3rd-class mercenaries.
Utula looked back and forth between his mercenary cards and Charon’s mercenary cards, then tilted his big head and said.
“Hmm, the colors seem a bit different, Charon! Is yours a different mercenary badge? It seems to be a mercenary badge given only to greater warriors!”
“Where on earth did you get that?”
“Sometimes, the mercenary guild comes to our tribe’s village and issues mercenary badges.”
“Wow, look at the sales skills of those mercenary guild guys.”
“Is this enough qualification?”
Trying to shake this guy off using his status as an excuse is a failure.
Charon once again considered joining Utula.
skill?
I’m sure he’s capable.
The destructive power coming from that overwhelming body could never be ignored.
So what are the downsides?
“… … None.”
There wasn’t any.
At first glance, he seems like a very obedient person, and he may seem a bit stupid, but that’s not because he’s unintelligent; it’s just his innate personality.
conclusion.
‘Let’s take it.’
There was no harm in taking it.
Although it was a confidential mission, there seemed to be no need to reveal the details of the mission.
Charon, who had finally made a decision, nodded slowly.
But you must not show that you are willing to give permission.
I feel like I have been shown mercy… … .
“Okay. You’ll come with me for now… … .”
That was when.
Bam-!
“Kekekekeke.”
Utula hugged Charon tightly, then lifted Charon up with all his might and said:
“Thank you! You are my first companion in life! Karon Reston! It is an honor to be with a great warrior like you! When I return to the village later, I will be able to proudly tell stories about you!”
“Keuhhhhhh. Let go… … . Let go!”
“What? I can’t hear you very well!”
“Let go… … uh… … ra… … .”
It was a truly mind-boggling Charon.
In this way, the giant Utula joined Charon’s party.
4.
Cheong Hae-seong’s office.
Halo was reading the report that Pale had brought.
“… … Count Leandro gave the order to attack the prince, and Caron executed him on the spot. A whirlpool erupted on the scene, and even the knights who had their magic cores out of control were unable to stop Caron… … .”
The reports sent directly by Rebellio were full of shocking stories.
Summary execution of the Count in charge of the border city.
It was sure to be a factor that would have enormous political repercussions.
But Halo didn’t really care about that.
“Not only did he persecute the people of the empire, he also filled his stomach with those who fled to survive. He deserves to die.”
“There are countless people who witnessed the moment when Prince Rebellio was attacked.”
“Who is the real culprit behind the attack?”
“… … Unfortunately, they said they couldn’t catch it.”
“It smells again this time.”
Since the madman of the palace and the madman of the duke’s house met, it would have been strange if the incident ended so peacefully.
Halo tapped the desk with his fingers.
What caught Halo’s attention in this report wasn’t the death of a rascal like Count Leandro.
That Charon slashed the knights while creating a whirlwind.
The only thing that creates a whirlpool in the Haerang Sword is the 6th form, the torrent.
‘I’ve never seen anyone practice the six forms separately.’
I’ve heard that Jehaesik has reached 6 stars, but swordsmanship is separate from Jehaesik.
Torrent is a tricky technique to use.
Your ability to use magical power will be tested, and if your magical power is even slightly unstable, you will most likely fail.
It means that it is a sword technique so difficult that there are knights who cannot fully master the 6-style torrential flow.
However, the report stated that Charon had created six vortices.
“… … Has the 6th form already reached its peak?”
With the magic power of 6 stars, 6 is the limit.
Those who are just learning rapids have a hard time making even one properly.
But the grandson seemed to be laughing at those people, as if he had already reached the sixth form.
“That doesn’t make any sense at all.”
Pale nodded in response to Halo’s words.
“… … I never thought my son would cause trouble like this again. I will apologize on his behalf, my lord.”
“You have nothing to apologize for. And I don’t particularly want to hold Charon responsible for this incident. I just want to reprimand him for his decision to involve the Kingdom of Zion. It was too dangerous a decision.”
It might have seemed like we were borrowing power from an outside force, but that didn’t really matter.
Anyway, no one will be able to find evidence that the Duke of Reston moved the Kingdom of Zion.
But Caron eventually produced results.
“The process is important. But when you draw your sword, the result becomes more important than the process.”
Halo slowly stood up from his seat.
And he said, looking at Pale.
“Yeah, did you talk to Charon?”
Then Pale made an awkward expression.
“… … I tried to talk to him, but he had already left Leven by the time I contacted him.”
“I guess you didn’t want to hear your father nagging you.”
“I think so.”
“haha.”
At those words, Halo smiled a rare smile.
From disobeying his father to doing things as he pleases.
Isn’t that the real deal?
“That guy really doesn’t pass by a single place he goes to.”
This event will once again shake the empire.
The events that took place in the palace four years ago may have slowly faded from people’s memories, but now Charon’s name will be heard from their lips once again.
“It’s always the parents’ job to sort things out, Pale. Let me take care of it for now.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“We should also think in advance about how to bring Leven under our family’s influence.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
“Okay, then go out and see.”
Pale bowed politely to Halo and walked out of the office with quiet steps.
Squeak.
As the door to the room closed, Halo slowly walked to the sofa and sat down. Then, he took a sip of water and exhaled softly.
As a result of this incident, the slave trade that had been taking place secretly within the empire will quickly disappear.
Halo pushed the glass in front of the empty chair and filled it.
“Be content with this, Cain. My grandson has done enough.”
He poured some wine into his own glass and took a quiet sip.
And I thought about the situation in the south where Charon was heading.
A land devastated by war.
A place filled with chaos and screams, where those who have lost their humanity roam.
Through this mission, Sun Tzu will be able to clearly understand what war is.
All of this tragedy must be seen by Charon’s eyes.
Because those chosen by the guillotine will eventually have to head to the battlefield.
It was a fate that only Charon could bear.
Halo tilted his glass, thinking of another big shot in the South.
Kerua Act.
One of Cain’s loyal followers.
Charon’s mission this time will end with him finally meeting him.
‘It will be a good experience, Caron.’
The last time Halo saw Kerua was ten years ago.
Kerua, whom we encountered near the southern great forest, had already reached the level of 8th star.
There was no way that a person of that size could have grown old or died of illness.
He’s been out of sight of the Duke of Reston for quite some time, but I don’t think that means he’s gone down a bad path.
Because Kerua isn’t a stupid guy.
‘Kerra. Ironically, Charon seems to resemble Cain. I wonder what you think.’
Halo occasionally sees Cain’s appearance in Charon.
There was a strange atmosphere that I couldn’t explain in words, and I often thought that atmosphere was very similar to Cain.
What would Kerua think when she sees such a Caron?
“… … It’ll be fun.”
All he had to do was just wait here quietly.
As always, quietly.
There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
