From a terminal Soldier to Monarch

It was after washing myself in hot water. I go outside and the janitor is waiting for me, biting his lips.

“Hey, can I talk to you for a second? ”

She calls out to me in a voice smaller than usual. It was a worrying voice, and I intuitively knew what to say. The bath attendant couldn't keep his mouth shut because of his persistent demands. It was that kind of story.

“You're not in any trouble, are you? ”

“Was that the house of a merchant named Jarens? ”

“Yes, it is. Are you here already? ”

A manager who has never been outside of David in his life. For her, this was the home of life and everything. A guy named Jarens tried to rob me with a familiar bandit guild as soon as he found out I had the recipe.

It was obvious what he had been thinking. There was no way the caretaker could refuse such a request.

He actually asked me to keep it a secret, but I didn't believe it would be perfectly preserved.

“It's okay. Nothing to worry about. ”

As I reassured her and tried to step out of the bath, she spoke with a very uncomfortable face.

“I'm sorry."

“I'm really okay. Good job. Let me know the next time someone asks you a coercive question. ”

I liked her. I liked the sincerity and I liked the generosity of my heart that never complained even when things increased. It was much better now than when he died.

Well, thanks to you, I have about fifty men outside the army. Even though you stepped on an elf's hair on the back foot of an Orc, there was no grudge against her because the results were good.

“I'm fine, really. ”

She nods and disappears after repeatedly speaking.

Did I give you a burden for nothing? But if you don't say you're going to quit under these circumstances, it might as well be the Sleeping Pure.

In my previous life, when a teacher made this, a royal letter came from a distant country saying that he wanted to sprinkle hundreds of gold coins. I will give you a title, and someone has asked me to swear allegiance to him. I thought I'd make this and sell it on fire. I wasn't satisfied yet, but there was a pile of gold coins in my pocket.

I walked towards the restaurant and thought about yesterday. I asked you to bring Jarens in.

“Can you handle it? ”

“Should I kill him?”

Now Fox, the Vice Guild Master, asks provocatively. Killing him makes things complicated, but he asks. I shook my head.

“Why don't you just shut up instead of killing him? ”

“I'm not very good at it. ”

Ha, isn't this guy supposed to rebel in a day or two? As soon as I took office, this happened.

“I'm going to use it as a Slipping Pure sales book. Don't kill me. I'll go see for myself. ”

“How many bottles of sleeping pure do you make a month? It will all be spent in the city without the need for a Merchant's hand. ”

“Increase it. ”

Fox blinked at me. He asked me how to increase it.

“You made the sleeping scent you used on me, right? ”

I didn't have to tell you. Fox smells of a delicate herb and you can see that black fingertips often touch the soil. The master of the Bandit Guild is not a farmer digging dirt, but something to touch the dirt.

“… my skills. ”

I wonder how I know that. I tapped Fox on the shoulder without an answer. Those who are under my command are determined to make the most of it and extract it. And to do that, I need them to follow me.

“I'll tell you how to get more slinging pure later, so don't worry. ”

“The treatment of the two people.... ”

“Don't kill me. You know Murdock, right?”

“You mean Murdock? ”

“Yes. Send it to your friends for a while and let them mine the herbs. ”

“I understand.”

It was almost a day after I came back and slept well. I went to the restaurant and went out to dinner. There was a call from Tequila, so I had to head to his mansion. The sun is slowly getting longer, and it still appears to be drifting over my head.

As I walked into the Skill Mansion, I could see Alice standing in the battlefield without her presence or attendants. He looked at me and asked.

“I lost your weapon on the battlefield. What are you gonna do? ”

“Pick up another weapon. ”

“Your weapon was broken during an urgent battle. ”

We shouldn't make such a case. And when you are on the battlefield, you will be prepared. If you're in a hurry, you can sprinkle the dagger and pull out the wire.

Of course, this is not the kind of answer that Technologies would want. The bear thought and opened his mouth.

“I can use my body as a weapon if I don't have one. ”

“The basic training is over. ”

“Yes?”

“Literally. ”

There was a bit of a stuffy side to training without wearing a body. I went straight to Tequila with the idea that it was over.

“It's foolish to practice weapons as a knight. It's natural to learn a variety of skills to survive. ”

I agree. Most of the articles may shake their heads, but I completely agree.

“I will be practicing my physique from today. ”

Biceps.

My heart is racing. Skill specializes in killing and disassembling monsters. Everything that the Knight without a vice studied to defeat the one with the vice was, in the end, an efficient method of killing. It was the first one.

“Please take good care of it. ”

With joy, I did not control the beating heart, and I revealed it in my voice. In fact, Tequila was a curious face to me.

“It's not a normal reaction for knights to learn physical skills. ”

“Don't treat me like an idiot. ”

I remembered a conversation I had with Techkill in my past life. When he did his best to teach knights in the center, the knights in the center rejected him.

“Why are you learning gymnastics? ”

“If you want to learn to make fun of yourself, you can learn from Mutuga. ”

“If I think it's necessary, I'll learn separately."

“Did you turn your eyes to the other side because there are no more advances in swordsmanship? ”

Ignorance, contempt, and tequila endured it all. In the end, no one in the middle could apply the training methods they created. If he was satisfied with the life of the Royal Guard, there was no reason for him to be here. He was dissatisfied with his life at that time. Even if I got fed up with the nobles' political fights, I would have endured it if there was any hope to make it last. That was not in his life.

That's why I would have been more obsessed with Alice in my past life. Since I didn't have the talent to teach, as a knight, I only dreamed of giving up my dream and protecting my daughter as a father. If we dealt with him in the history books, the two letters‘ empty 'would match very well.

I defeated the one with the vice naked, but I couldn't be acknowledged by anyone in the middle.

But I've trusted him ever since I first saw him. He did not hesitate to show his faith outwardly. Lind and Digo asked him to train the axe as well. What would a tech like that think of me? I didn't trust anyone, but there was someone here who gave me infinite faith.

“In the future, you won't regret your choice. ”

His words were no less serious and he had a heavy, vomiting spirit. He will pour his best into me. I believed it. I have drawn all the scenarios so far. And I was willing to accept that.

“Let's get started.”

It was a day when spring passed. It was also a day when I began to learn real things from technology, not basics.

*

Pharmacists and those who make and deal with medicine know the value of recipes. It is more precious to him than family and more precious than lovers. Sometimes I don't hesitate to kill people to rob the recipe.

Fox was a thief, but a pharmacist. I was clumsy, but I had knowledge of herbs and I learned something. I'm not risking my life for the medicine recipe like the other herbalists, but I also know its value is great.

Especially when it's a perfect recipe that proves its value and doesn't even have side effects. Sleeping Pure did.

The first time I heard about the medicine, I laughed.

“What? Your skin's getting better? Do you have any idea how many of those drugs there have been? ”

Dozens, hundreds. Some applied to the face showed dark killing side effects, some with better skin but some with blind eyes. Unproven drugs are dangerous. He knew it well as a pharmacist. But the common people don't know that. A good medicine can only be applied with sandlings.

“What? How much a bottle? ”

“Fifty gold coins. ”

When he received the report, he snorted and heard that the medicine was selling well to some noblewomen and merchants, he realized he was wrong.

By the time things had happened and I was convinced that the recipe was real, things had blown up and I could only meet the owner of the recipe. I was greedy too. What a great recipe, I wanted to see it, I wanted to study it, and I finally wanted to have it. But the owner of the recipe is now sitting on his head.

‘I don't like it. ’

Everything from one to ten. I don't like being young, and I don't like being an apprentice knight.

‘Why is Hülken. ’

He's a lifesaver and sworn allegiance to him. I wonder why he's so interested in him.

After drinking a bottle of alcohol, I went out to find Zaranz. There are dozens of ways to keep his mouth shut. But why would he do such a thing? If you feel bad, I'll let him do it. I'll kill you eventually. It's very difficult to keep a man's mouth shut alive.

Let's go to the place where Jarens is being held. Two of his men are guarding him.

The cheekbones protrude and you see a chunky, medium-sized old man. With his arms and legs tied to a chair, he blindfolds his eyes with a cloth.

“Help me! I'll give you anything!" ”

He cried out, feeling popular.

“Quiet.”

Crying out because it's buried in the basement of the building doesn't mean voices leak out. But it couldn't have been better to be noisy. Zaranz snots.

“I'll do anything if you let me live. ”

Hundreds of them are bandits' guilds, skilled in intimidation and torture. Well, it doesn't look like torture, but it was a pretty hard job while you were locked up. If I was stuck in a squishy basement with my eyes closed for half a day, I would think of all kinds of things.

“You'll do anything? ”

“I'll do anything if you let me live. ”

“Don't talk about your apprentice Chris. ”

“I see.”

Zaranz opens his mouth before he finishes speaking. I don't know if you understand what you just heard.

He was just saying whatever he wanted to live. If it's like this.

‘It's better to curl up than to threaten. ’

That's the easy way. Keep your family hostage. If not, you can tell one of your subordinates to take care of it.

If you are a servant of the Bandit Guild, playing at the Merchant's House is several times better than doing anything else, so it's a good thing.

Of course Fox didn't intend to give all this advice.

“I'm here."

Looking up at his horse, you see someone coming down a ladder that leads this way. Owner of dark blue hair and a very unusual face.

‘I don't like your face either. ’

I'd like to draw a few times with a well-sharpened knife.

“Are you here?”

Of course, unlike his heart, he politely hit his guild master.

“How far did you go? ”

“I'll do whatever you say. ”

That's what Jarance said. Fox smiled from the inside and insisted on an expressionless face.

“I promised Chris I would never say his name out loud again. You want me to let you go?”

“Really? Let them go, then. ”

You little punk. Just let me go, I guess I just picked up some bandit slang somewhere. Release him and you'll be in trouble. It was clear.

Screaming.

When the rope is untied, Zaranz takes his hand to the blindfolded cloth. At that moment, the arrogant harpoon opened its mouth to the guild master.

“As soon as you untie it and look at me, you're gonna have to kill me. Are you okay? Untie me if you like.”

At that moment, his hands stopped.

“Sa, if you let me live, I promise you a great reward. Let me go.”

And he said with a trembling hand. Chris looks back at it and gestures.

“Chair.”

Glug.

One of your men quickly lowers the chair behind him. Fox glances at his servant for a moment and quickly returns to his original expressions. I'd love to bring it to you, but I don't think you should react like that immediately. Fox looks at Chris.

I was a little surprised by what you just said. The intention of salvation was not mixed with any emotions. It's just a fact. If you untie it, you're dead. I'm sure Jarens felt it, too.

“Let's be honest. Zaranz.”

“What do you mean? ”

“Do you think you can put a sleeping fragrance on the Apprentice Knight in the barracks? ”

“Just because those two bandits handled things so well... ”

“I mean, don't you usually do things like this? ”

“That's not true. It was just a mistake. ”

“You."

Chris picks up one of the bandit guild members with his finger during the conversation.

“Yes."

One of your men steps forward, and he opens his mouth.

“Cut out his tongue. ”

Zaranz was furious and cried out.

“Why are you suddenly like this? It was a mistake. I'll write my own memorandum here if you want. ”

Two of his men grab his arm and one squeezes his tongue.

“Wait."

Chris stops his men.

“What a misunderstanding. ”

His voice changes and Chris looks at him with a brief silence. Then I opened my mouth.

“Just once, just once. If you lie again, you cut off your tongue, then you tell a lie, then you cut off your finger, then you cut off your arm, and then you don't have to say anything after that, okay? ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

Zaranz said, sweating. His complexion fades black. It was such a relief. Chris opened his mouth.

“Cut off a finger by example. ”

Screaming.

His men do not hesitate. They were specialized in this sort of thing in the first place.

I cut my finger off and bounced it off the floor.

“Grrrgh!”

Jaranth's scream echoes in the cellar. Fox stares at Chris because he can't stand the look on his face. It was still a dry face without a smile. It was as if he had been through this dozens of times.

“Now, let's start with the real story. ”

It was the bottom line. If I could threaten you and make you listen, I would choose you, too. The opposing Pokémon can't resist the sting of the ball. ‘If you give them fear, they won't be able to see straight. ’

But Jarens was quite the merchant in Daved. Touching this meant going all the way to the end. However, this mad guild master did not hesitate. There was only one way he could convince her.

Fear.

Jarens has to pee and agree to everything Chris says before he can be released.

“We are a hundred times the night of David. Bring it on if you want to try. And then I'll give you a necklace made of your beautiful third daughter's fingers. ”

It was still an emotionless word. And Fox, who heard that, grew chicken fat and dripped with cold sweat. It wasn't just because he was surprised by his charisma and hesitated for a moment.

‘Son of a bitch. ’

He did all the work and gave me the name of the hundredfold. So if it goes wrong or wrong, it's a hundred or so.

“Hey…. ”

When Fox realizes it, he opens his mouth.

“Oh, I had something to tell you, too. Take care of him and bring him home. ”

“Yes!”

Three of his men answered swiftly. His fear wasn't the only thing that affected him. Even Fox was forced to swallow. All he said was a few words, but what he saw inside was a charismatic monster.

“Let's get out of here.”

And the monster calls out to himself with a fresh smile. Fox swallows his saliva without even knowing it.
