From a terminal Soldier to Monarch

Three days later, I headed to Tequila's mansion.

“Did you rob any merchants on your way here? ”

It's not surprising, but it's a mansion with a pretty big garden and a small battalion guard.

“No, I worked in the middle, collecting rustic sticks. ”

Tequila greeted me with a bold greeting. By collecting rustic sticks and buying a mansion, I could almost remember my beloved tequila from Bronze. As I approached, he reached out to me.

“Yes?”

“Left arm."

I see a thick lump of iron beneath his feet. Earl Ludwig doesn't have a large Iron Mine, so iron is more expensive than he is wealthy.

When I think about it, I give my left arm out.

Huff.

If you do not give it strength, the weight of the arm falls out.

It was made of iron. I had a fastener so I could secure it with it.

“Orfal.”

I saw what he had prepared in my eyes.

Platoon, armor? ’

“Can I ask what you're doing? ”

“Your body is too weak to learn spear or sword. ”

If this is weak, Hall of our infantry soldier must go out and die.

A body made by intense training that washes the inside of the body with refined water and runs daily. The skill that I glimpsed in my eyes lifts my hand.

“I don't talk to people who don't even have basic physical strength. ”

Yeah, like this. It was originally like this.

“Do it.”

Well, I didn't expect that either.

He simply demands exactly what he wants. You're talking to me in action.

Build up your basic health. That's when it started.

That is, he accepted me and granted my request.

Chug, chug.

When I was wearing all my armor and everything. I felt someone pressing me up against my weight.

“Well, let's run. ”

“Yes? To where? ”

“Let's run for a day and a half, just until sunset. ”

“Wearing this? ”

“It's the easiest part of basic fitness training. ”

Are you crazy?

“Go.”

“Of course.”

Suddenly Alice pops out and stands next to me. It was a leather armor that was not commonly seen.

“Why are you here? ”

“I've decided to train with you. ”

“What?”

“I'm gonna be a knight. ”

Are you serious? Well, it's not impossible just to see what you have.

“What about the inn? ”

“Haven't you been drinking my beer? You had no talent in the first place. Talent. You have to do what people do best. ”

Yeah, but you know you can't cook. Did you actually win a penalty for turning in a beer to thank me back then?

“Doesn't your mother disappoint you? ”

“Well, he was worried about going out as a soldier and dying, but since he learned from this side that the new dad used to be a knight, it's a hundred times better than swinging a sword by himself at night. ”

She smiled and said. Looking at that face, I thought it was a really cool smile.

“I hate lazy people. ”

You hear Tequila's voice behind you. What happened in my past life naturally fell off my feet as it became an overlap.

I thought I'd learn a skill from him and give it up a few times.

Why did this violent training process just now come to my mind? But I didn't run with a lump of iron like this.

Bang, bang!

My feet are heavy. They're too heavy.

“What the hell? ”

I feel like I've gained almost one weight. Alice, on the other hand, had nothing out of the ordinary.

I didn't really want to do this, and I didn't mean to be rude.

“Don't you have one of these? ”

“I'm not supposed to be in that crowd. ”

No, I've had my fill of experience, so I'm talented, but I shouldn't overdo it either.

Looking back, Tequila looks at me and gestures. I thought I told you to get lost.

I wasn't the one to talk to, and it was my own doing.

So I started running. In response to the thump, people's gazes gathered. When I ran, a pumpkin appeared next to me.

"Bang!"

“Hi pumpkin. ”

I saw Alice say hello.

“Pumpkin. You're going to be a great wolf, aren't you? ”

“What are you talking about? ”

“No, I want to put one on his back. ”

It's too much for me to do this, but I'm starting to feel suffocated because I just ran.

“Time to say that. ”

Alice went ahead. I started chasing after her, breathing heavily.

Digo, Lynd, and the axe ran hard enough to bring them here, if possible. After running for half a day like this, I sweated from my whole body unbelievably much in the middle of winter.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa. ”

I felt like it was breathing down my throat. I folded my lower back in half and held it in place and fell to the ground.

I didn't notice if it was sunrise or sunset or sunset. I just wanted to catch my breath.

I was panting like that, and tequila came over and put her hands on my chest and chanted.

“That's strong.”

You can't hear it. You just choke as if your throat were ripping.

“Running for half a day, holding on, hanging on.... ”

I hear the sound of tequila murmuring above my head. The voice doesn't come into my head.

I want to sleep, I want to fall asleep like this. That's all I could think about.

I barely managed to catch my breath, but he reaches out his hands.

“What?"

It's unsettling and ominous.

“Grab it.”

When I held his hand, he raised my hand up. He raises his hand, which is parallel to the ground.

“Fixed.”

Shit, I knew what he was doing.

“Leg shoulder width. ”

He opens his legs and kicks his feet in and out more. Then he tapped the poppy in the back and said,

“I like this position. ”

Lift your arms in front of you and bend your legs and straighten your lower back.

“Hang in there.”

I've done this before. Except, without this lump of iron.

“All power comes from the lower body. And no weapon can be used without its basic strength. ”

He says it's basic health, basic strength, minimum agility.

I heard the same thing in my ears. Of course, the training robbery was worse than that.

“Strength can be nurtured by effort. How nice.”

Well, it's good to know that it involves the pain of shaving the bones.

I survived with all my might. I couldn't feel her presence, even with Alice beside me.

“I can't. ”

You notice Alice crumbling and disappearing in the middle, but consolation keeps you busy.

“Enough.”

I don't want to measure how long it lasted. It was clear that the day had not passed since the sunset was still over my head.

No, tell me the next day's over.

My arms and legs tremble.

“Hang on next. ”

He hangs a long rod of iron on a thick wooden column, wondering when he made this. Looking at it, he said.

“What are you doing?"

“Yes?”

“Hang on.”

Crazy, crazy, crazy.

For the first time, I began to regret the path I chose.

It was when I wanted to quit. I felt the pain in my trembling arm.

This is the source of the pain. I look at my left arm and see my right arm again. I glance down at my arm.

I took a big breath in and out. The despair I felt when I lost my arm was intolerable.

“I'll die once or twice. ”

“That's right."

The Pokémon hangs on its staff with its backside, slapping back at it with a face like no other.

Wood Duck.

The posts on either side swing just by the weight of their body.

And I fell to the ground in seconds.

I can't reach my grip.

“Is it hard?”

Tequila asked. Is that what you call a question? Maybe it's better to fight.

I got up again and put my hand on the wand and asked.

“I want to learn what I need to learn as a knight, and what I need to learn as a warrior. ”

It was a struggle. A struggle about whether this would help.

Tequila was definitely a person in this area. He brought me the wand he used in the duel.

“This is you now. ”

Hook! He picks up the stop-take and throws the rod forward. A stabbing with a lot of strength.

Honestly, it's not bad. If the soldiers do this, the Dowager Commander will do his best. Even a little longer, the White Captain is not a dream.

Of course, it's not as if you're good at stabbing.

“And this is the stabbing after basic fitness, basic strength and agility. ”

Bam.

Definitely the same stabbing position. Stab after Discontinuation Tax.

The sound of cutting air was different and the force felt different.

I could tell the difference just by watching right next to me.

“You're going to divide and grow muscles. Only then can I learn my skills, as you call them. ”

I made eye contact with Tequila.

“Where did you hear about me? ”

I'm asking you spill.Look at this grumpy guy.

A knight who wants to learn weaponry from himself. What would he suddenly learn from someone he'd never seen before, he wondered about the situation itself.

I didn't care much because I could give him what he wanted and he could give me what he wanted.

No. Even though he was not good at dating people, he survived for twenty years in the Cruel Central Knights.

He would have thought, and he would have guessed that I knew about him. And there must be a good reason.

‘Like getting to know Earl Ludwig. ’

And I'm the apprentice that Count Ludwig personally appointed.

While exhausted, the head rotation speed remained the same. I can't say I've ever known in my life, but I thought of the best seller around.

“Have you heard of the Lord's bastard? ”

Wheelken is expensive, but he sells well.

“Not you? ”

“Of course not. Says the man I know. ”

“So?”

“The knights from the Royal Guard in central Sercado are returning as Earl Ludwig. What's the big deal?" Isn't that a big deal? ”

Great lies must be mixed with the truth.

“Most, including Earl Ludwig, already know the existence of Tequila. ”

Maybe you do. He was actually one of the Royal Guards. Of course you would know if someone like that came to this defense.

I opened my mouth to the skill waiting for my word.

“What a great opportunity to be taught by that Royal Guard, the father of a friend like my 'brother'. ”

He specifically emphasized the sibling. Alice is very special to me.

“This must be fate, too. As soon as he arrived, Earl Van Ludwig suggested a war party. Of course I'm here because I refused. You have a lot of friends. ”

“I love being with people. ”

“I see.”

He nods. And immediately, he looked at me. What?

“Hang on.”

“Ah."

I forgot for a moment. I raised my arm and pulled the rod. The pain that would break my whole body followed me.

“If the foundation is not laid, we cannot wait for the next. ”

Damn it. I'm gonna lay low while I build his foundation.

I realized something. I opened the gates of hell myself.

Three days ago, I had twelve fights, and on that day, I saw my grandfather gesturing across the river while practicing these three things: running, holding, and hanging.

This was a life-threatening exercise.

“I haven't adapted yet, so I'll see you in a week. Eat well, rest well, and sleep well. That's work, too."

The time hung was too short. It's only a few seconds.

My whole body trembled, starting with my fingers. I thought if I fell into a real hell, I wouldn't let them train me like this.

‘I will endure until the end. ’

Of course, I came that far.

*

Three days later.

I found Tequila's house.

As I entered the reception with a message through the acolyte, tequila looked at me while drinking tea.

“I think you like tea. ”

“I like to drink. ”

I'm riding the wagon again like crazy.

“Come back in a week? ”

One week? That's a waste of time.

I had a Herb Storage that contributed immensely to Captain Stryk's indigestion, and that pain lasted three days.

“It's all healed. ”

Thanks to this, some medicine was added to the refined water. When I saw the congestion coming out, I realized how horrible I had done to my body.

I knew one more thing at the same time. The outcome of that ignorant training was engraved on my body. A muscle that had never been clearer had only been captured in a day's training.

There, one word that I thought would be over by now rang my ears.

It was a moment when my body vomited congestion and recovered.

[EXP increased]

The voice of the artifact, which I thought was over, came back to me.
