The Soldier Shouted Save - Chapter 59



Only Krnovel

The soldier shouted save (59)

After Galtarang and Lucas met their deaths.

The palace dispatched investigators as high-ranking officials to the Red Tide.

“So, you killed Mine together with the bard Galtarang?”

The one before your eyes is the Black Knight, Leo Vermouth.

When he called his son ‘Mine’ and questioned him about what happened yesterday, he nodded and answered.

“It is as I said. Mine threatened the people of Yeongji and sought Walker’s blue flash, and I took the life of Mine and the Red Inspector Galtarang to protect Walker’s honor.”

The sight of the black dragon not moving at all even after hearing that his son had died.

He says, looking down at the red sword with its blade shattered into pieces.

“Then this must be the red sword that ‘Mine’ was holding.”

“you’re right.”

“Okay, I understand. Let’s talk about what happens later.”

As I got up and went out the door after hearing the cold words of the black swordsman, the men all glared at me.

“… … .”

The Knights of Vermouth, where only the best knights on the continent gather.

I head towards the inn, leaving behind the gaze of the knights glaring at me for killing the young master there.

“Sir, how are you? Are you okay?”

Hye-rin, who was standing in front of the inn, came running to me, worried about me receiving a call from the inspector who had been dispatched as an investigator.

“Did you take what I told you?”

“… … Ah, Galtarang and Grandpa’s luggage? Yes, I packed it so that you wouldn’t get caught.”

An old backpack that Hye-rin is shaking.

Hye-rin takes out Galtarang’s notebook from the backpack and whispers.

“I read it briefly, but it seems like Grandpa Galta was looking for you?”

I open the notebook Hye-rin gave me.

Then, I saw traces of him wandering around the continent looking for a man similar to my impression.

‘Come to think of it, you said you promised to be my teacher.’

Just like Dave who said Hye-rin was his daughter before he died, I thought it was nonsense, but then I thought that maybe she was someone I had a connection with.

“Allen, Hye-rin! I found a carriage!”

Two disasters have left many people stranded on the Red Sea.

When asked if it wasn’t easy to get a carriage, Marie says with a playful smile.

“I did what nobles do best.”

“…What are nobles good at?”

“Spending money.”

I asked a stupid question in front of Marie, the lord of Walker.

If you consider the value of the unsold World Tree leaves, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is the richest man on the continent.

“I’ve already bought two carriages, but should we split them up?”

At Marie’s words, Croa quickly grabs my arm.

“I want to go with my brother….”

“I have something to talk to you about too….”

Two people watching me.

Marie sighs and smiles at the sight.

“Let’s just use one carriage. I’ll send that coachman back.”

After Marie pays the gold and sends the coachman away, the group all climbs into the same carriage.

“Brother, please sit here.”

When Croa, who has become more assertive lately, taps the seat next to him, he lowers his butt there.

“…what’s the matter?”

“Just like that.”

I was worried at the sight of Croa holding my arm tightly.

A look of longing for affection.

For some reason, I had the feeling that my younger brother looked anxious and uneasy.

“Oh, right. There’s the story about the red sword that cut down the stars.”

The story of Galtarang, who cut down the soldiers of the Black Fortress and the Imperial Palace and protected the Red Hail.

“That’s true, it’s the Black Star that protected the Red Hare.”

“… What? Where did you hear that?”

“Isn’t it written as lyrics in Grandpa Galtarang’s notebook?”

Hye-rin opens the middle part of her notebook and shows it to me.

‘The Truth of the Red Tide.’

I read the lyrics that Galtarang had written with my eyes.

―I cut down all the palace soldiers, but I couldn’t stop them.―

-Demon Sword! Do not doubt my will to protect the Red Hail!

―Demon Sword! Do not turn my will to uphold justice and honor into nothing!

―I cried out in my heart, but my body did not stop.―

―I turned to my black old blacksmiths, and I couldn’t stop.

‘Were you conscious even though you were controlled by the demon sword?’

Even if it wasn’t a holy relic, did he have a magical tool that could strengthen his spirit?

I looked at the next page of the notebook.

―I was crying in the blood-flowing forge.

-If I kill the survivors with this red sword, what difference will there be between the palace and me?

―But just then! My hope appeared in the city of metal!

―The star that reached the peak of the sword struck the red sword! It cut off my right arm!

―Ah, the feeling of freedom from the demon sword is heaven! The evil deeds I have committed are hell.

―The swordsman spoke to me, who fell from heaven to hell in an instant!

-I will protect the honor of the Red Inspector with my dishonor, so promise me.

―To tell the world about his fake death and leave his swordsmanship behind for future generations.

―And so I became a minstrel, spouting false fame and false death!

‘promise….’

He closes Galtarang’s notebook while repeating those words.

‘Then, was there a connection between me and the previous swordsman?’

As I was lost in thought, recalling the name of the previous swordsman I had never heard of, something touched my shoulder.

“… Hmm.”

The image of Croa sleeping on my shoulder.

Marie smiles at the sight and says:

“Let’s guess what Allen is thinking right now.”

“… Try it.”

“It’s a shame you can’t bring the red sword, you think?”

He thought about the question for a moment and then answered in a calm tone.

“It’s down here. The red sword.”

A black cloth lying at your feet.

Marie, who realized it late, opened her eyes wide and said.

“Huh…? You were here? I’m sure the demon sword was recovered from the palace… … .”

“There were two red swords. I left mine behind, which failed to be restored, and took Lucas’s.”

Then he puts his hand into his backpack and takes out a bracelet decorated with green gems.

The saint’s bracelet Lucas was wearing.

“Will it still function like that?”

The Saint’s bracelet was turned into a rag by Galtarang’s ‘Red Hail’.

I said, throwing the bracelet back into my bag, which I wouldn’t have been surprised if it tore at any moment.

“It’s just a piece of junk. The restoration magic has completely been stripped away from it, so it can no longer be used.”

“… The restoration magic has been removed? What does that mean?”

“Hyerin said that the number of times it can be restored has exceeded its limit.”

The saint’s bracelet, broken dozens of times by Galtarang’s swordsmanship symbolizing the red tidal wave.

Since a restoration spell has already been cast on it once, it is said that restoration is not possible.

As someone who witnessed the overwhelming majesty of the Red Tide, I can say that it is a miracle that it still exists in bracelet form.

“By the way, I heard that Park Won-cheol has a business he wants to do at Walker?”

“You mean the owner of Cheonhwajeom? We talked about it this morning.”

Park Won-cheol’s proposal was simple.

“You said you were going to create a second Heavenly Flower Shop in Walker?”

He was a quick decision maker.

With the value of the Red Tide dropping due to the Mageom incident and the collapse of Cheonhwajeom, it seems like they’re going to settle down in Walker, which has a bigger name on the continent.

“I thought Park Won-cheol was going to buy the land? Did he give up on that?”

“After what happened with the Red Tide, he became afraid of becoming a lord. That’s why he wanted to come to the Walker guarded by the Blue Flash.”

Blue flash.

As I was wondering if it was right to be happy about the name that was starting to become famous, I heard a muttering voice.

“Even if we settle down in Walker, Allen won’t be there.”

“……what do you mean?”

“Even if you appoint him as the Knight Commander, Allen will still be wandering around other territories.”

He says that with a hollow laugh.

“well.”

“See! You’re just thinking about going somewhere else!”

“If my people weren’t threatened, wouldn’t I stay in Walker?”

Marie Walker sighs slightly at my words.

“The warriors say that something like that is called a flag….”

“Are you talking about the death flag?”

“Uh… yeah. I guess that’s probably the right thing to say?”

When she sees Mari using otherworldly slang, she smiles awkwardly.

“I heard from other nobles that if you don’t know the other world’s slang, you won’t be able to keep up with the conversations in the palace. That’s why I’m studying hard.”

The palace where the proportion of people from another world has increased more than that of people from the Gerard Continent.

‘Should I have given up on Hyelin and Croa?’

After arriving at Walker.

I shouted ‘Save’ and started checking the information of the ‘Palace Guild’ with the guild stone.

* * *

A month has passed since I arrived at Walker.

As a knight commander, I also had a new daily routine, the first of which was to visit the knights.

“… Stop training! Salute the Commander of the Knights!”

“insect!”

Knights salute with much fanfare.

I can’t help but laugh when I think about my first meeting with them.

‘There are many children of nobles, but they are truly simple people.’

When I first came to the Order as a Grand Master, they did not welcome me.

Who would welcome a commoner and completely unknown person suddenly being appointed as the Knight Commander of Walker?

‘It was a common fight.’

The solution to this pointless fight was simple.

“If a wooden sword touches my body, I will step down voluntarily.”

With that being said, a simple duel was held, and the result was as it is now, with the Knights bowing their heads respectfully.

“Chief Allen! Congratulations on becoming a noble!”

“… A nobleman? Oh, I heard from my lord.”

My name was no longer Allen.

Allen Hower.

In recognition of his achievements in the Red Tide, he was given the surname ‘Hower’ and became an honorary nobleman, without any lands granted.

“Aren’t you happy that you have become a noble?”

There was a time when I aspired to be a noble, but I can confidently say that it was not now.

I sigh as I think of the palace that gave me that name and assigned me responsibility.

“Vice-captain.”

“Yes, sir!”

“The reward money is set aside as public funds. It should be used to reinforce the Knights’ equipment and expand their training facilities.”

I said I was the commander of the knights, but honestly, I didn’t do anything.

The vice-captain just took care of everything.

“Thank you, Captain!”

But when I see the deputy chief with an expression of being moved by the world, I sigh.

“Boss! Your younger sister is here!”

At those words, the knights all turned their gaze towards the entrance to the training grounds.

“Ah, aah!”

I leave the training ground after hitting each of their heads.

“Brother!”

Croa with a bright appearance.

“Shall we go?”

At my words, Croa follows behind, wearing his robe hat turned over.

“… … Over there! Go over there! They sell other world food!”

Food from another world, hamburgers.

Go into the store.

To be honest, it was otherworldly food. It was just meat, vegetables, and sauce on top of bread, then covered with more bread.

“That’s delicious!”

Croix smiles with rapture as he puts a fried potato in his mouth.

“I think oatmeal bread tastes better….”

“… Wow, that’s a lie?”

I look outside, avoiding Croa’s gaze that looks at me as if it’s ridiculous.

“Really, it’s changed a lot.’

Walker, whose floating population had decreased due to the cessation of harvesting the World Tree leaves and the disappearance of work for mercenaries, experienced a major change thanks to the business of Raoul Poole and Park Won-cheol.

“Come on, come on! Let’s greet each other with a big smile! Welcome, customer! This is Cheonmuljeom!”

“Welcome, customer! This is Cheonmuljeom!”

I was amazed at Park Won-cheol’s business acumen in training his employees.

Park Won-cheol’s new signboard is Cheonmuljeom, which means a store with a thousand items.

By purchasing all the raw materials, Park Won-cheol personally made daily necessities, including farming tools, with the special privilege of ‘Item Production’, capturing the wallets of the people of Yeongji with low prices that could not be found in any other city.

“Hahahaha! Even though business is going so well, I’m still tired! I guess I’ll have to build an extension soon and call it a general store.”

Thanks to this, Walker was once again gaining fame as a genius, following Raoul Poole.

“Do you want to go check out the store too?”

Right next door, the noise of the store is so loud that I suggest going to see it, but Croa shakes his head.

“I don’t like it when there are too many people. My divine powers might be revealed for no reason… .”

“Now you can hide it even next to Iris?”

“But you never know. If someone of an elder or higher rank comes, they might find out….”

To be honest, this store was also quite crowded.

I don’t know what the criteria are for being anxious, but I don’t think there’s any need to bring up unnecessary things.

“It’s so delicious. Isn’t it?”

I can’t sympathize with what Croa said, so I wipe the corner of his mouth instead and he gives me a bright smile.

‘I guess I was too negligent.’

Croa’s anxious look had completely disappeared.

I also feel better when I see you brighten up.

“Let’s go now that we’re done eating.”

After dinner with Croa, we enjoyed an outing to see the estate.

“I heard some performing group is coming to Yeongji. Should we watch it from the rooftop?”

A performance group discovered after the sun had set.

I suggested they go there, but Croa shook his head.

“Hye-rin is alone too, so it’s time to go now.”

Hyelin, who had been drinking the blue potion like water from the Red Tide and casting spells, was later found to have a backlash and was lying in bed.

He said that he had been using the future of the future of the future of the future mana from the blue potion, and that he had reached his limit.

‘I told you that I had to continue meditating for another month.’

“I’ll go take care of Hye-rin first. Let’s play again next time.”

As I was about to turn my gaze away from Croa, who was waving goodbye, something caught my eye.

A gaze that seemed to be staring intently at Croa’s back, just like mine.

“This way! This way! Hurry up and gather! The greatest show on the continent is about to start!”

I turned my gaze towards the suspect, but I couldn’t find anything visibly strange.

‘… … Am I mistaken? No, if I were a professionally trained person, I wouldn’t be able to find it.’

Walker was no longer a place where only familiar faces gathered.

Walker, who shows a new face every time he goes out on the street.

I remembered what had happened at the Information Guild.

‘I received information about the previous swordsmanship from five different information guilds, but they were all different.’

As Marie Walker said.

Even though I paid a lot of money to purchase the story of the former swordsman who was exiled from the Vermouth family, each information guild gave different information.

‘I didn’t waste any gold thanks to the save, but it’s still fatal not being able to determine information in this situation.’

If I couldn’t properly utilize the Information Guild, my information power was limited to reading the missions of the ‘Palace Guild’.

It was also very inconvenient because I had to look at it over and over again, as I could only view it for about 5 seconds.

‘… … Would it have been different if Galtarang had been alive?’

I looked through all of Galtarang’s notebooks and realized.

He would whisper to me around, look at the adventurer’s bulletin board, and talk to himself, pretending to be a third party to test my abilities.

‘According to what was written in the notebook, after creating the red sword, he was going to reveal his identity and begin full-scale education.’

After obtaining the red sword.

Galtarang’s first training was participating in an auction in a village of vagabonds.

To be precise, it is about mobilizing information power to win the bid for the ‘chain of trust’.

‘… … A town of vagabonds.’

The auction for the ‘Ring of Trust’ is just around the corner.

If you want to get a feel for the place and prepare for the auction, you should start preparing to leave now.

‘If I go here, I might be able to get information about the previous swordsmanship.’

The home of the Information Guild.

I began to prepare to leave for the village of vagabonds.
