Albrecht was out of Castle Halberk looking into the acidity. It was because knights and warriors didn't fight.
He was sitting on a rock a little higher than his quarters, looking down at the knights and warriors.
The knights wrote the lodging on the north gate, and the warriors wrote the lodging on the south gate. They were speechlessly looking at their work, fighting their eyes from afar.
Hermann, as an escort, is behind Albrecht. He doesn't care if the escort just sits there with his axe by his side, chewing on jerky.
A brown late autumn wind blows over and sweeps them away for a moment. The sun sets towards Albrecht's hometown, shining more red than usual.
Albrecht glances at Hermann. Hermann looks at the plain to the north and feels the gaze of Albrecht. And he said, "Why, do you have something to say? I made a face. Albrecht sighs.
The reason why we couldn't do some sort of sequencing was that the military, not the regular soldiers, were so hardcore as to follow who they wanted to follow.
For example, if you force Randolph to command warriors, they won't listen. I don't know you. Why should I fight under you? ’It is a reaction. Appointment from above, like the modern army, did not mean that the people below followed.
After all, the cavalry commander is Randolph, and the warriors are only responsible for Hrrolph and Gunnar. The hierarchy was just the way Albrecht peaked, with executives underneath and executives organizing and controlling their units.
As a general or commander, when the size of the army grew, it might be best to lead one side or the other, but for now this was the best.
Albrecht felt something was wrong when he tried to leave the financials to Carpen. Not only was he the founder of the bank, but not the head of the bank or the owner.
The bank belonged to Dwarves all along, and only decided to leave it until it was settled in the first place.
It seemed like the time had come to establish his relationship with the bank, self, and the dwarf, although he still had unlimited access to the bank's money if he asked employees.
‘Is this what drove you away from me? ’
Albrecht did not feel so disappointed. Rather, he thought he had not looked carefully.
Once in his mind, he made it clear that he was the ruler of Halstadt, and that Dwarves were the bankers in his domain.
You have personal friendship, and in the public domain, you draw a line in your head.
As the sun was fully set, torches were lit in the mountains. Aside from the workers, most of the knights and warriors entered the inn.
Albrecht also got up and headed for Castle Halberk. At any given moment, I walked through a strange automatic gate and entered into Sung Sung.
Unexpectedly, Bervantos stands in the back, waiting for Albrecht.
He was dressed in silk and wearing white socks up to his calves. It felt like a rich young master.
“Hehe!”
When I saw the dwarf, Hermann was shocked as if he had seen a ghost. After joining Albrecht, he often sees Dwarves, but unlike Randolph and Carpen, he has not adapted.
“Give me the axe and go back to your room. ”
Hermann hands over the axe and climbs to the second floor, circling Vervantos for a long time, with a swift gesture that doesn't fit into his huge size.
Vervantos would have been joking if it had been the same. He stands still for some reason. I had a playful smile on my mouth, but it was not as rash as usual and a bit bitter.
“Welcome, Albrecht. It's been a while. ”
Albrecht stands in front of the Vervantos with an axe, slightly puzzled.
“Are you okay? ”
Albrecht asks, in the atmosphere of the Verbantos, something is different from before. Vervantos' expression remained unchanged, but he was still smiling.
“Ilydia wants to see you. You got a minute? ”
Albrecht nods. Then Vervantos gestures to follow, gesturing politely and walking ahead.
I went upstairs to walk along Vervantos, and I felt something strange. Suddenly, I thought that the hallway was this long. It's been a while, hasn't it?
I woke up and looked around. Familiar rooms. Turning back, you're not too far from the stairs.
‘What the hell. ’
Albrecht was convinced he was going through something magical. Magic has always been, but beyond the realm of understanding has made things awkward and uneasy.
Magic was a different level of listening with words, seeing with writing, and experiencing it firsthand. Albrecht felt something strange.
“Here we are. Over here.”
As soon as Albrecht is about to say something, Vervantos stops in front of a visit. It was the same door as Albrecht and Rosamund's.
Vervantos opens the door, and Albrecht follows. Albrecht felt a strangeness in the familiar interior.
Seeing where he and his wife's bed will be, Iliya lies ill, covered in blankets. Dwarves huddle around you.
Everyone didn't look so good. He was expressing some grief and grief.
Albrecht walks up to her. A dwarf brings a chair and lets you sit down.
Albrecht sits beside the bed and looks at Ilydia. Ilydia looks at Albrecht, her eyes hardly open.
They just faced each other for a long time without saying a word. Then Ilydia opens her mouth first.
“Albrecht, thank you. Thanks to you, we can live. ”
Albrecht didn't ask for a thank-you. They thought they were friends, and they did me a favor as friends. Moreover, he also benefited from a lot of work.
“You don't have to say that. By the way, what's wrong with you? I'll get some medicine. A doctor.”
Ilydia shakes her head slowly and painfully. Then he smiled and said,
“It's not a disease. It's just, it's time to say goodbye. I was so happy to see you last time. My friend, Albrecht. I need a favor."
Farewell time. Then Albrecht suddenly remembers what Iludia used to say. Dwarves don't die of old age.
What did he mean? What the hell is happening now? Albrecht waits for Ilydia's request, rather than asking in haste.
“One day, one day, let us go. Please. And, when it's hard enough to bear, look around. But if it doesn't make you feel better, when the cool breeze hits you, think of me as me. ”
Ilydia's light blue eyes continue to look at Albrecht. Suddenly, his grin disappears and he breathes a short breath.
Albrecht felt a strange feeling that he could not express. Are you making a will?
What I'm feeling right now is sadness or sadness. I didn't believe in anything. The dwarves seemed like they would come back to play if they hid themselves. They were not fit for death.
Moreover, he had already drawn a line with the bank. Not someday, but right now, I was able to let the dwarves go.
Look around when you're in trouble. And when the wind blows and touches me, think of yourself. I don't know what he's talking about.
Between the unacceptable realities in front of us and the incomprehensible questions, Albrecht's emotions were shaking.
Albrecht wishes to open his mouth and speak, but unlike before, he does not speak as if he were dreaming. But I didn't like to think it was strange or stuffy. You just look at Ilydia's sky-blue eyes.
Her eyes were not just filled with sadness and sadness. Rather, it felt like I was sympathizing with Albrecht. What do you mean? Iliya.
Illudia tears her eyes out at last. Then he opened his mouth again and said.
“Poor Albrecht. How painful it must be.”
As soon as Albrecht tried to speak out, I suddenly felt the space in the real world drifting away. The dwarves, including Ilydia, were far away in an instant. They only looked at Albrecht as he was getting further away.
Albrecht wakes up and looks around, and it's his room. I was still sitting on the chair next to the bed. And before his eyes was a woman who slept without knowing the world.
‘What was that, just now. ’
It felt like a dream but it was never a dream. His struggling sensation was chanting that the conversation was not a dream.
Albrecht's eyes are trampled on by Ilydia's sky-blue eyes. It was a mixture of complex emotions. And the last thing I said. Poor me?
Albrecht's job was to explore the city in the morning and train with the knights in the afternoon.
When the morning sun came up, I got up to eat and left the fortress with Herman. The season that would not allow leaves suddenly came to a close and whitened Albrecht's breath.
I passed the farmland beneath the castle, crossed the bridge and entered the city. I circled from the eastern outskirts to check out the docks. The diligent workers are almost ready for the day.
People gave Albrecht an example by taking off their coils with a familiar gesture. Some boldly greeted first. Albrecht smiled and accepted it lightly.
During the morning, I looked around the mayor and the place where people lived, stopped by the government office for a brief report, and had an early lunch. After a while, you hear a loud noise outside.
I tried not to care much, but I heard something about myself that I hadn't heard for a long time since I left home.
“Please! It's urgent! Let me meet him! Chief! ”
“Last warning. If you don't want to get beat up, get lost! ”
"The boss!? Are you calling for me? ’
Albrecht throws his dishes away and hurries out. Herman follows you with an axe in one hand and a handful of meat in the other.
Captain, I haven't heard from you in a long time. Vertical Cutter, Knight King, Crusader, Holy Land Defender, Defender of Anglia, Mercenary.
I came up with all sorts of fancy titles, but I couldn't get my heart pumped like the commander I just heard.
Albrecht's heart starts pounding. Who is it? A Jurgen? I heard the young man's voice.
Albrecht stepped out of the palace, and there was a man who was a jerk about to be beaten by warriors. No, he was already beaten once, and his eyelids were wide open.
“What are you doing?! Let him go!”
Albrecht shouts, a warrior grabs the man's collar and lets him go. The man falls to the floor.
Albrecht approaches and raises the fallen man to his feet. He seems grumpy and distracted.
Albrecht doesn't quickly remember who the man is. But soon I remembered. His name was Miguel.
Albrecht hurt Erik, left him in a hut in the woods, and told the Tidebringers to protect him from dying. He was one of the kids guarding it.
“Miguel! Miguel, right?! ”
Albrecht smiles awkwardly, feeling welcome and sorry, and calls out to a childhood friend. Miguel barely looks at Albrecht and says,
“Yes, commander. Calteren is in danger. Save us. ”
Albrecht's words do not reach his ears. Where are you going? The awkward smile slowly subsided.
“The lord went to war and was wounded. Hostiles are closing in on the castle. We evacuated the villagers to the castle, but a lot of people who lived far away died. Help. Calteren's on fire. ”
Immediately, Albrecht's head lightened. Your hair feels burning and burning in your eyes. She bites her molars tightly without knowing it, and her whole body trembles.
The Devil, who has been hiding and empowering himself, comes out with his mouth stuck in his ears.
