From a terminal Soldier to Monarch

I forgot.

I wake up and head to the restaurant first.

Sitting on a clean dining table and dipping hot wheat bread into a corn stew, it tasted like honey.

“Here's some raw meat. ”

After leaving the rank of an apprentice knight, my mission worked in the city.

There are even private soldiers who take care of pumpkin meals separately.

I threw raw meat at Pumpkins.

“Eat.”

A funny coincidence. The pumpkin makes fun of you even though you have blood on your mouth.

It's been three days.

For three days, I took a break from doing nothing. When I opened my eyes, I ate breakfast, took a pumpkin walk, and even checked the condition of the honey spider for snacks.

I grind the herbs I have and put them on a fresh wound.

I packed my lunch and dinner as well as breakfast.

The young camouflage digested the food upside down.

The Soldier's Garrison on the inside of David Bed is quite well-decorated. The accommodation assigned to the commander as well as the accommodation assigned to the soldiers was tidy.

Not only the restaurant, but also the well-mannered soldiers.

You can clearly see how much Earl van Ludwig cares about managing these soldiers.

Scanning through my eyes, I did nothing for three days.

“The wagon to High Guard arrives in the afternoon for those who are returning, so take it and leave! ”

There were more than just professional soldiers here.

There were those who wanted to quickly build up their achievements, and there were those who risked their lives for a few silver coins.

Earl Ludwig sends all of them back.

It's all about going home, except for the ones that are really useful.

“Saint Chris! ”

If it weren't for the cheer that was ringing in the wagon leaving, I'd like to see those faces, though.

“Heroes of the Battlefield! Chris!"

Other than me, I saved my life, which is why I'm cheering for him.

‘You have to think about what you're hearing. ’

Even though I had a thick complexion, I couldn't just wave my hands relaxing with such cheer.

While eating, drinking, sleeping, and resting for three days, the one who would leave left was the one who remained.

Because I was considerate of the soldiers after the battle, other soldiers rested for three days besides me.

After a formal break inside the military, Lind, Digo and the axe began to move on to the training schedule.

‘Digo, this guy doesn't have any bones yet. ’

I couldn't stop myself from being motivated.

With nothing to order and meals on time, it's just perfect.

That's four days.

‘I think I've recovered quite a bit. ’

I didn't take a break. You still need to eat well and rest during your growing season.

I was able to recover well, so I cleaned up my fatigue in four days.

‘Of course.'

I didn't mean to root here for nothing. It was time to move.

Earl van Ludwig has been busy dealing with the aftermath of the war and hasn't let Hülken out since.

I also stayed in the army and no one forced me to train. I wonder if this is the real job of honey.

A knight in the army is a realm of invincibility.

It was the same with the probation knights.

I put the pumpkin back in the house and walked out in a big hurry.

“Where are you going? ”

“Going out.”

I was a guard at the barracks. The soldier said he knew and stepped back.

I walked toward the outside. I was welcomed by the well cleaned road.

Five minutes' walk from the barracks is a commercial zone.

Although David is a fortified city, there are no major markets, there are still those who make a living.

‘It's a good city. ’

It's not a paradise flowing with milk and honey, but I've invested quite a bit inside as much as I've invested in the military.

The city faced a high wall was peaceful.

Although the battlefield was near, people were rare, there seemed to be no doubt whether they believed in the Earl van Ludwig's power.

I walked through the city.

Ka-ang, ka-ang!

A street ringing with the hammer of the forge. There were mercenary guilds and taverns everywhere.

The door was closed because of the morning, but there seemed to be a red-light street in the inner alley.

It was when I was learning the way around like a habit.

‘That should be a straight line to the Earl's castle. ’

“Hey, kid. ”

I didn't even know it was calling me.

“Hey, are you deaf? ”

I turned my head to the sound of natural sounds. It is a narrow alley between the building and the building.

“Who are you? I've never seen you before. Where are you from? ”

It was dark inside the alley even though it was morning. Just give me a little head and I'll talk.

“Calling me? ”

I pointed my finger and asked.

“Is he blind too? Who else is here? ”

The city was quiet in the morning. It is time to eat at home and just open the door of the shop.

It would have been quiet if it wasn't for the diligent blacksmith's hammer.

A dung fly flew in to appreciate the serenity.

I gave him three days of complete rest.

I wanted to fully recover from the aftermath of the last battle.

I've been squeaking for days.

I think we're back about 90%. ’

Chipmunks. Breaking your neck makes for a better sound of bone engagement.

I check my body's recovery, but nothing is better than exercise.

“Let's go."

The man who summoned me opens his eyes and looks at me as I walk in the alley.

“What?"

“Come on, we have to get inside here to start talking. ”

“That's right. ”

I think he's a little short. When I get into the alley, the three of them surround me. I robbed him of his hands.

“Do you want to come first? Shall we go first?"

“Crazy bastard. ”

I'll go first.

My feet are light, and my hands cut the air to match them.

Boom!

I didn't even spend time drinking tea after the first blow.

“Chair."

A bruised man with blue face falls beneath me.

I sat on it and looked around at the three.

You have to be good to be in your early twenties.

“Hooray, Bandit's Guild? ”

Guilds everywhere in a large city are bandit guilds.

Thieves, pickpockets, human trafficking.

“No, I'm not.”

Chair opens. I think he was the leader of these three.

If it's not the Bandit Guild, it's just the neighborhood. If I pulled out a knife in the middle of a beating, I was going to break one, but I didn't. But if you do something like that inside of David and get caught, you'll be beheaded.

This is a land ruled by military law.

The security was terribly good.

The bottom line is, they're not that bad. I was about to give them directions.

These guys usually know the way around.

“Pharmacist shortcuts. ”

“Yes?”

I woke up and asked.

“Don't you know the short cut to the pharmacy? ”

“I know!”

The three rose to their feet. Left, right, left.

I feel like an equal person.

They all left the same bruising marks on one eye.

“Lead on.”

They start to move.

This is also a disease. I get anxious if I don't see every road in that city, no matter where I go.

After three days of rest, my body recovered. No, I feel lighter than before.

Maybe now we can get back together with Wheal Kern.

No, bastards who use vice are superhumans. Except for those bastards.

Everything else seems to be worth doing.

So I stood in front of the Medicine Shop, looking all over the city.

‘It's small.’

It is very small compared to the size of the city.

Seeing it, I was silently thinking.

I wished there was time on the battlefield.

I was frustrated to death because I knew what I knew and couldn't use it properly for many things I could do.

That's the first. I remembered the conversation my teacher had when he made this.

“Hey, that's too bad. If you had eaten this when you were a kid, you'd be stronger than you are now. ”

“I could have cured Royse of her illness. ”

“Yes. Well, you're always free when you need it. ”

It is the first step to grasp it even if it is not in hand when it is needed.

The teacher who taught me herbs was a top talent on the continent. It is one of the things that the teacher has spent a lot of time making.

It's also what I need most right now.

‘Refined water.’

Medicine. A very specially made medicine.

Immersion in this medicine for a year will sensitize your senses and energize your body.

It stops brutality, ignores weak poisons and becomes a body that resists strong poisons.

‘Above all.’

Refined water changes its body size. This is something even the teacher did not know.

After thirty years of age, I changed to refined water, and there was nothing I could do.

‘Vise.’

I was really looking forward to it. A force that can only be used partially.

You must be born talented to use the vice.

Wrong.

It's not a talent, it's a quality.

Depending on the body, it can be learned and split apart.

Especially the Visual Achievement I'm after must be changed to refined water.

The teacher did not know this part. Well, I was the only one who turned into refined water.

Others did not acknowledge the effects of refined water made with expensive herbs for a year.

I thought the effect was weak compared to the cost of going in.

‘Quite right. ’

I changed my body from former life to refined water, but it was too late to learn vice.

Age 30.

No one tried to teach me, no chance to learn.

Maybe that's what greed for learning is all about.

I don't know later, but Weiss can't grow old and learn.

As you get older, bad energy builds up and the passageway around the vice disappears.

I didn't understand what he was saying, but I understood one thing.

Vise can only be learned when she is very young.

You have to build foundations since you were a child with very few qualities. There are very few articles with vices for these two reasons.

At that time, I couldn't learn vice even if I changed my constitution. But it's different now.

“Aren't you coming in? ”

One of the wallpapers asked me to think.

They sure know the alleyways.

Thanks to this, I was able to memorize the path more closely. I could give you a few fairy tales for your trouble.

“Wait.”

I left the three wallpapers open the pharmacy door.

“What?”

The middle-aged man sitting in it lifts his eyes and looks at me and says,

“An errand?”

“Do you know a herb called White Finger? ”

Let's check the car first.

Ugh, this smells so green. A blend of herbal scents mixed with the smell of dirt.

I feel healed.

“Finger what? ”

The pharmacist blinked at me.

“There's a White Herb. ”

It was before it was discovered. Fifteen years later, my herb teacher made this recipe.

‘I should say lucky. ’

White Finger is an expensive herb. But no one knew the value until someone proved its effectiveness.

I thought you didn't know, and this is what I expected.

I had to regularly supply this herb for a year.

I couldn't spend my time and effort looking for each other. It was impossible to do that for a year.

Not only did I get this herb, I needed someone to bring it to me.

basically someone who knows how to harvest herbs.

This offer shouldn't be too bad for him either.

“Do you want to make a regular deal with me? ”

I took off my coat while talking. A leather outfit with two shoulder pads was revealed.

“Are you in the military? ”

“Yeah. Well. ”

Earl Ludwig, a white commander, who leaves his age, treats his soldiers well.

It was a city of that atmosphere. I knew it at a glance.

“What kind of deal? It's some kind of herb. There must be more in the Medicine Depot. ”

I liked the crude tone.

I saw soiled boots, a well-organized herb, and a clean little shovel.

He also did business, but it seemed like he was actually spending more time digging up herbs.

“One dollar per root, the trading period is one year. You have to give at least three roots per transaction, at least three or four days at a time. ”

“What?”

“I named it White Finger because it's long and resembles a finger. It grows well in a low-humidity, sunny area.

“I think I've seen it somewhere. Isn't it too little? ”

The owner showed interest.

You can buy two hard breads for a fairy tale.

Usually, a herbalist picks up a herb and receives three bronzes for a white herb.

“If you keep trading for a month, I'll give you two dollars next month. ”

“Two coins pays for a courier. No work.”

That's right, two little coins.

I shake my hand to get out.

“Then let's make it five bucks a root. after, of course, a month of constant supply. ”

“Oh, let's do it. Do it.”

It was behind the store. The woman who looked like the owner's wife came out and said,

The woman in the headscarf glanced at the owner with her eyes wide open.

“Well, I was going to. ”

The owner looks at his wife and flicks five fingers away from her eyes.

“Four coins will suffice. ”

“No, why do you refuse? ”

“He's a one-year customer. Long-term deals are usually discounted. ”

I had to think of this owner as fortunate that I noticed so quickly.

He was asking me to sneak a dime. The fingers moved relentlessly from five to four back to one.

However, his expression is quite impressive.

“Sure, yeah. ”

A man's heart is what a man knows. I have not been married in my previous life, but I have seen it in this case.

“Well, I first noticed that my young friend had a point of view. Don't worry! I'll get you that herb in batches. ”

“Please, this is an advance. ”

I took out four coins and gave them to my wife.

When she took it, she secretly handed it to her master.

“I will save you. ”

There are many ways to please a person.

I think it's best to share a secret.

In the eyes of the master who looked at me, faith and trust grew.
