Dragon Poor

096. Royal Promise (3)

Kim Sun-hyuk stayed in the lodge all day, scouting Gradus rankings to attract talent.

“Too high is a burden to carry and too heavy a burden to carry. ”

Excludes those of whom Gradus is too high. With the help of the princess, I couldn't have thought that the top talents of Gradus would follow me unconditionally, but even if I had succeeded in getting him to the territory, I could have acted accordingly.

What he needed was a talented talent to make him comfortable, not a leader in the territory.

“Except the estramorwn. ”

And the estramorwn were excluded there as well.

“Roughly this orderly.... ”

There were a total of three talents.

‘Royal Wizards, Senior Wizard, Jake Pradmore and Gradus 73. ’

‘Royal Wizard, Senior Wizard, Aria Eisen, Gradus 98. ’

‘Belonging to the Royal Wizard, Senior Wizard, Xil Arcaine, Ranked 100th in Gradus. ’

Talents who were recognized as talents in their 20s together were disappointed. And not all of them were knights, but wizards. Julian, who was watching me quietly, asked me if I could deduce the knight candidate, and Kim Sun-hyuk replied with a tone that he didn't have to think about.

“I've already decided on the article. ”

“Already? ”

Although he had been looking at the names written on Gradus all day, it was surprising that he decided so quickly that he did not know how long he would be with us.

But for him, it was never a rash decision. Rather, when I told the princess what I wanted to do, I kept the nail in mind, so it was decided before I came to the royal family.

“Who is that? ”

Julian has also shown great interest in the first knight force in the territory, as a squire eager for knights. He looks at Julian and reaches out his finger with an unfamiliar face, pointing to the middle of the Gradus ranking.

“Great talent, proven talent, isn't it? ”

Julian looked stunned when he saw Kim Sun-hyuk's face as if he was waiting for a compliment. And I sighed and held back.

“Your skills and character are reliable, but it's not just a knight. How do you expect to get the Knights of the Royal Guard?" ”

Surprisingly, the name of the knight his finger pointed to belonged to a hermitage that he knew and Julian knew.

‘Royal Knights, of the Royal Guard, senior knight Asha Trail, ranked 46th in Gradus. ’

“How did you get it out? ”

Kim Sun-hyuk, who saw Julian stirring his head, brazenly said.

“Tell the princess. Give me the trail. ”

Unlike Gradus' ranked articles in a relatively simple and clear way, there was a slightly more complex component to the wizards' decision to determine Gradus.

Most of the time stuck in the lab, the wizards used to study magic and experiment couldn't have dueled with magic unless they suddenly went crazy. That's why the Wizards' Gradus examined the magic learned and assumed how much resistance they would be able to exert against their enemies if they were sent to war.

For example, if knights were to charge and crush the enemy, the wizards would be held in place and treated as sacks to form a network and stop or destroy the enemy.

“I've heard that the Knights and Wizards at the bottom of Gradus can deal with at least one infantry of a major size. ”

Even though the individual's power overpowered a hundred well-trained soldiers, it was a worldwide standard that overflowed with all kinds of unrealistic abilities, including magic and spirits.

“But you can't even go to war. ”

“So I'll have to strangle him even more. Without Gradus, you won't have a chance to prove your worth unless there's a war. ”

Julian had a point. I struggled so hard to get superhuman power in my hands, but my hands and feet were tied so I couldn't use it. How stuffy and unfair.

When I think about it, I can understand the minds of the flattering knights who had been humiliated after asking for a duel in the past.

“We'll never make it to the battlefield anyway. Let's pick a wizard who's more versatile. If all I know how to do is create a ball of fire and unleash a bolt of lightning, that's the problem. ”

Kim Sun-hyuk handed over the list of candidate wizards for the territory that he had written down beforehand to Julian.

“Find out if any of these others have any extraordinary talents besides attack magic, or if they're digging in that direction. ”

“Unlike knights, the Royal Wizards don't do much outside work, so it may take some time to get information. ”

“It doesn't matter. I'll leave the kingdom after the negotiations are over and I'll be rewarded for war. It's okay if you can only find out in there. ”

He looks down and leaves the room. She was sincere, too.

“Hoo. Let's check out the Resistance, then. ”

It was also time for the princess to enjoy tea time. He called the maid and told her to lead him to the fortress. Then he took a slow step.

“You look like you're about to enter the castle. ”

But there I met a person who was not very nice. Earl Reinhardt is there, somewhat reluctant to treat the foreigners of the Central Army as half-dead.

“The princess has given her permission. ”

“I know. It's my job to check in and out of the Resistance, but of course I don't know that. ”

The barefoot monarch looks at the servant with his eyes wide open.

“I have a word with the Earl for a moment. Step aside.”

The servant took a moment to look at Kim Sun-hyuk, then he nodded and disappeared.

“Something I can help you with? ”

“How's the royal family? The world seems to be in a different place, too. ”

It was undeniable. He had an unparalleled luxury compared to the past when he was just a terminal cavalry.

“That's the way it is. It's a place that is comfortable and pleasant for the powerful, but on the contrary, if you don't have the strength, you'll suffer from all kinds of scavengers who want to rush and bite you. ”

“I think so. ”

I didn't even guess what he was saying to bring up as Kim Sun-hyuk. So I just listened to the erl.

“But now you have the power, the reputation, and the trust of the royal family. You may not know it, but no one in the royal family can treat you like a fool. ”

As if he was about to get to the point, he immediately posed himself to the Marquis of Lanehart, looking straight into his eyes.

“So, anyway, Do you want to stay in the royal city? ”

“What the…. ”

I don't know what this means, but when he looks suspicious, the erl said with a soft face.

“Do you want to join the Royal Knights?" ”

In a sudden offer, Kim Sun-hyuk was unable to answer.

“It is the duty of defending the blood of the Adesden, the apex in Adenburg. That glory and honor cannot be spoken of, and no one will command you except those who inherit the city of Adesden. Don't you find it attractive?”

The baron does not insist on an answer.

“You don't have to answer right now. If I take you now, the old man of Mansk will come to the royal court and make a fool of me. So you just have to think slowly and put it in your head. ”

Even as you look at him, you notice how little he looks like. His attitude is rarely soft.

“I'll think about it.”

He said as if he was fortunate that he was not rejected in front of him again and suddenly remembered the Marquis laughing.

“If you're in the field, don't even think about excuses like that. You'll find out soon enough, but you don't have long to roast in the field. ”

“What do you mean? ”

“On the terms of this negotiation at Noctane, I have stumbled upon you. ”

Why are individual stories mentioned in negotiations between countries? He frowns and asks for an explanation, and the erl replies slowly.

“I think you know that Nochtaine and the wizards and knights we call the main force will not go to the front if possible. ”

That was a story he also knew.

“But this time, Drake Knight has been classified as a top driver in Nochtane and has asked for the same exclusion from future conflicts as the Knights. That is the condition that the Nochtanes have walked on in exchange for accepting most of the terms offered by our kingdom. ”

“Ah…. ”

After understanding the situation later, he looks embarrassed. It was because the demand for Noctane felt as if children were making fists and setting rules.

“Do you accept that? ”

“It's not a decision yet, but there's a good chance he'll take it. Noctane won't cross the border first for a while, but Noctane's requirements are to be met. ”

But listening to the Marquis, I felt that the officials of Adenberg were considering the offer quite positively.

“Perhaps you'll find out soon enough, now that you're a nobleman. Why the knights have their hands and feet tied and their mouths sealed. And by the time you figure that out, you'll be in good hands with the other knights. ”

The Marquis's face is deeply shaded. However, unlike the look on the Marquis of Chulalongkorn's face that weighed a lot, Kim Sun-hyuk's expression did not change much. I just had a feeling that I didn't understand, and I didn't see any anxiety at all about the fact that I might not be able to stand on the battlefield like knights.

The Marquis asks with a shaky face if he noticed it later.

“Aren't you angry? A bird that can't fly can become a leopard that can't run. ”

In response to the Marquis Reinhardt's question, he replied with a gentle expression.

“You can't fly and you can't run. Live like a chicken, live like a cat. ”

He didn't really want to go to war in the first place. Suddenly, I got orders to fight, and then I just set up a ball. Now I had no reason to regret being excluded from the battlefield.

No, I was rather fortunate to be summoned to the dreadful battlefield and not see the horrors.

The Marquis sighed slowly and added a single word to his face.

“Anyway, this is the situation now, so whenever you feel bored, come to the royal highway. The Royal Knights will welcome you at any time. ”

The Marquis takes a long walk, wondering if there was something wrong with his face. After the erl disappeared, the maid who had retreated far away came again and showed me the way.

“What a sophistication. I was just about to have some tea, but Earl Drahon never thought I'd find this place. ”

The princess asked her to come and play like that, and now she doesn't seem to remember anything about it at all. Now that he had become accustomed to such misunderstandings, he only greeted the princess with a smile.

“Just before, I got a good spear and armor thanks to the care of the princess in the car that I was in trouble with because my spear was broken. Thank you so much."

“The king was also made by the best craftsmen over the course of months. The heat and castle involved in refining iron and molding seemed to create a masterpiece, so you should be satisfied. ”

In the end, it was as colourful as giving a gift like that. He thanked the princess with a properly impressed expression.

It felt like a little niece. Of course, it was not a bad feeling to meet a princess who was calm and brazen at the same time as her nephew's father who was the head of the kingdom.

“Ah. The wizards and knights who will reside in the lands I told you about. ”

“Oh. Have you made up your mind?" ”

“The wizard will have to think a little more, but the knight has decided. ”

The anticipated princess flashed with her eyes wide open.

“Yes. I wonder which knight favors the infamous Drake Knight. ”

I had already made up my mind, but I couldn't help but hesitate at the last moment as I was about to steal the princess' melee escort.

But he eventually told me about his decision with the feeling that he didn't know Era.

“Lord Trail, please. ”
