“Here.”
Reflective of Chris' handover, Fox looks back at what he received and back at Chris.
“This... ”
I was stuck for a while. When Chris saw it, he opened his mouth.
“Recipes, recipes for sleeping pures. ”
Sixteen boy apprentices, rumored to be all that remained, were practically all that remained. And Fox, who was the head of nearly a hundred, realized that most of the rumors were just rumors. Over time, for example, almost all the rumors of the Son or the Dead disappeared and few people called Chris that.
“Why are you giving me this? ”
Fox's voice is aggravated. To be honest, Chris didn't really understand the horror charisma he just saw. For a herbalist, what a recipe is, it was worth giving your life for. At least not in his own common sense. Give the recipe to someone who will show you malice or murder? It was something I couldn't understand within my own common sense.
If you hadn't seen Chris do what he did, you'd think the world would be a better place.
‘No way. ’
I saw what happened after I cut off a man's finger and threatened him.
“You asked me how to increase my sleeping pure, right? I'm busy, so someone else can do it for me. ”
Is that why you handed over the recipe? If so, there's no way those who kill people can have it.
“Is that the reason? ”
Even though the question was filled with disbelief, Chris was still expressing himself. He just smiled and followed the horse. Instead of asking if the recipe was really important, he opened his mouth to a different topic.
“If you don't learn, you won't understand. ”
“I'm not a fool to fail even when I see the recipe. ”
“Check it out first. ”
Herbal Herb recipes are usually mixed with various slang. It was normal to make the herbalist unrecognizable. This was no different either. It was going to require research.
While I was thinking about it, I heard Chris' voice again.
“I wouldn't be so kind in learning. And I don't want to give you a rough idea of what I've taught you, but you have to be careful what you use on a person's body. ”
Fox opens his mouth, feeling a beating heart, even breathing.
“You're going to teach me? ”
“I don't think he's the kind one. It's too late today. Let's do it next time. ”
After saying that, Chris walked in a volatile manner. Fox sees it, and he's sober. At least I couldn't handle myself in my own bowl.
‘The way you deal with prisoners. ’
And everything you call recipes is too relaxed.
‘Well, Hülken isn't the kind of person you want to leave with anyone. ’
It was a very short visit on the eve. That day, Fox realized that Chris could at least do the right thing. The recipe in his hand proves that.

“What name should you forget? ”
“Chris.”
“Hey, you only have nine fingers left. ”
“What's your name to forget? ”
“I'm not sure. What are you asking?”
Then he who was in front of him asked no more questions.
Zaranz opens his eyes, sweating red. It was a nightmare. When I opened my eyes, I sighed as I looked at the thick sheets and pure ceilings. It's already been a week.
Gulp, gulp.
Jarens rises to his feet with water on the shelf next to the bed. It was a terrible thing I never wanted to go through again.
“You'd better not forget. ”
Zaranz blinks.
“Don't forget what you said your name was," he said. ”
My neck muscles are killing me. As I turned my head, I felt stiffness like rusted iron.
“Just don't forget. ”
Someone sits on my butt by the window. He was hundreds of people without even asking. Zaranz opens his mouth to feel the terror of that day unfolding.
“What are you talking about? I don't understand. ”
“Very well, don't forget. We're watching you. ”
Even as Zaranz watches, he throws himself out the window and hears a murky, kicking floor.
“... Guards! Guards!”
Zaranz shouted out, and a third daughter was surprised by the commotion.
“Father!"
“What's going on? ”
Several of the guards came running to Jarens. As soon as he sees them, Jarens swallows his saliva, swallows his horse, then opens his mouth calmly for a moment.
“Nothing. ”
The guard gives you an impression and turns around. My daughter who was watching that father next to me said,
“Are you okay? ”
“It's okay. I just had a nightmare. ”
Zaranz thought what just happened might be a dream. It was easier to think that way. Trying to turn around and head for the room, my feet don't fall off. It still needed to be a little more stable.
His wife went to an auction house in the High Guard and today the house only had a third daughter with him.
“You're awake. Would you like a cup of tea? ”
“Yes."
The daughter nods with worried eyes. It was about time the two of them faced each other with a cup of tea warmed up with hot tea. My daughter, who was talking small, said carefully.
“Father.”
“Yes."
“I've been thinking about it a few times, and he keeps coming back to me. ”
“Him?”
“At first, my father made me follow him, but the moment I saw him, I decided to let the girl go. ”
“Who are you talking about? ”
Her daughter could not understand her father's reaction. When you ask yourself to do something like that.
At first, I was unfaithful and I broke my arm trying to hold it, but now I'm not. As soon as she saw his face, she knew. Apprentice knight Chris, the man is his pet. The moment I remembered that pretty face, my heart jumped and my face turned red.
“Who is this? His apprentice Chris... ”
“Shhh! Don't! Don't say it!”
“Yes?”
“Don't take that out! You can't say that name. Absolutely not! ”
My daughter blinked. It was something she could never understand, but it was a traumatic name for him. The left index joint of the high priests was stiff.
“Father, khh... ”
“Don't! ”
It was a commotion at Jarens Manor in the middle of the night.
*
“Apprentice Chris? ”
“That's right.”
“Page. Follow me. ”
If Strick had called, a familiar face would have come to get me. If Wheelken had called, he would have said it in a letter or a hundred men. The one who came to see me was not a common foot soldier by the look of his clothing branches. It looked like the same probationary article.
“Whose page is it? ”
“How dare a commoner come forward and flatter himself? ”
He glances at me. I shrug.
“Let's not do that to each other. ”
“Do you want to die? ”
Hey, a nobleman in Earl Ludwig must be a baroness without vomit, and there must be three baronets in there with messengers and apprentices. His nose pierces the sky.
“I've always wanted to live. ”
“If it weren't for the name of the one who summoned you, you would have won your own neck. ”
Really? I'm confident you can hold a spear at me with your bare hands.
“Yay, yay. ”
I made fun of him and followed him. It was a long time after sunset. If it wasn't for my hobby of reading, I might have fallen asleep.
Well, now that I see it, I'd wake you up if I was asleep.
“This way.”
For the first time since I came to Daved, I'm headed to the fortress. As the moonlight shores, the guard looks at us and ignores us immediately. I didn't talk at all.
“Where are we going? ”
I was starting to wonder who was calling me. The man who guides me looks at me as if he saw a bug and says,
“You'll find out when you go. ”
In the end, I had to follow him quietly. That's how I got there.
Deep inside the tolerance, the Earl's family, or the acolytes. When I arrived, a strange servant with a candlestick looked at me and said,
“This way, please. ”
I don't give a fuck.
Following me, the apprentice knight turns around and leaves. Following the servant, I soon stopped in front of the visit to the old-fashioned decoration. The servant is carefully smart and knocks, and the door opens.
“Have some.”
If Earl Ludwig had summoned me, I wouldn't have to be so secretive. As I went inside, a strange figure was waiting for me.
“Welcome. ”
It is also a surprising place because it lacks a surprising character. There is plenty of food on the middle table and red wine on one side.
Ludwig, a servant with a red face, looks at me and says again, "Have you had a little drink?"
“Sit down.”
“Apprentice knight Chris, say hello. ”
Just then, the servant looks at me and smiles. I want to punch you in the face for some reason. The man in the shining mesh, who looks at me and says,
“Have a seat.”
What, you want to sit down and have a drink?
“This wine is called Highten, airborne from the High Guard over there. A liquor with a sweet taste that melts your tongue. ”
It's true. You called for a drink.
“I'm sorry, can I ask why you paged me? ”
A presumptuous question, but my affiliation does not officially reflect Ludwig, but Earl Ludwig. My position is acknowledged by Earl Ludwig. It's not for the best of intentions, I'm sure you don't mind.
“Let's share a friendship. ”
The servant says in a gentle tone. Usually, if she was able to socialize with the Earl's sogaju, she could say that the rope-walking was excellent. But in this case, I know the hobbies and tastes of servants.
What excuse do I need to get out of here?
As the worries deepen, you hear the servant's voice again.
“Hero of the battlefield, Master of the Watchtower, and a civilian apprentice knight. ”
The Servant recites it. He stares at him and says,
“At first, I dared not tolerate such an existence. ”
“Did you?”
What do you know? It's not worth living for your recognition.
“But on second thought, my wife was blindfolded. ”
I wish I could keep it that way.
“Be my person. I can promise you riches and movies. You want the knight's throne? Zuma, do you want a title? If I inherit this family, I will hold you in my arms. ”
He said in a strong tone, especially when he was holding her in his arms. It gave me goose bumps.
“You're gonna make me a knight and give me a title for nothing? ”
“You will pay me back slowly. Today will be the start. ”
I'm gonna kill you. Hang on. There's too much going on here if you kill a servant. The excuse seemed to be misleading. I shrugged.
“Thank you, Chung, but I want to achieve it all with my abilities. Thank you for your invitation today. The cooking and the drinking were excellent. ”
He didn't even sit down for drinks and cooking, but he said so. It meant that it was regarded as an invitation to dinner, not an invitation to dinner.
Boo-hoo.
The wooden cup held by the servant twists his grip. And when he saw me, he opened his mouth.
“Don't you regret it? ”
“Any choice will be regrettable, but you won't have any regrets today. ”
“... Go back. ”
Oh, that gives me goose bumps. It was as if her eyes were abandoned by her lover and she was determined to take revenge.
Well, I had no intention of standing behind my servant. He is indiscreet and lacks the Earl's throne. Power was nothing compared to Whelken, and above all, I had no intention of tailoring his taste.
It happened in the middle of the night. I went back and asked him to sleep, and then I woke up. And the next morning, there was a call from the streak.
“Chris, call the boss. ”
He was one of the soldiers who lived without fear.
“Since morning?"
“Yes. It was serious. ”
I also heard that the drugstore was frozen and that his pockets were filled again to restore the gynecologist's gold. But if it's serious.
‘Servant.’
It's a name that comes to mind. My personality is in a hurry. Why would Trick be looking for me in the morning?
As he enters the office of the streetcar, he groans and calls me in sick.
“Chris, what the hell are you doing? ”
“What is it?”
“You, I need to take on a mission. ”
What is this mission that makes so much noise? This is Servant Revenge.
“A noble man comes from the center to triumph over the previous wars. His escort.”
This was an act of the Servant's malice, without a sense of modesty.
“Who's coming? ”
“Whew, what do you want to hide? Third Prince.”
King Cercado had three princes. Sercado has suffered many things in the future. One of them had a huge impact on national power. Three sons of bitches.
I gave my job and title to the one I liked, and I killed or banished the one I disliked.
He lived completely on his own terms. And as long as I was out on the road, there were a lot of people dying around me. Especially if you're in charge of his escort, the risk increases considerably. Two years ago, you wander around, getting stung by a bee, and you cut off the arm of a peacekeeper's escort knight. It was a famous anecdote. After the duc turned on the lights, the rumor spread that he had a grudge against it.
“Hoo, what are you saying? ”
The streak looks at me and opens its mouth. Without a word, he spoke.
“You stepped on shit. ”
That's right. The third prince of Cercado, Edik Gabsch, was poop.
Above all, I remembered the moment I heard the name of the three princes. Edric has been kidnapped by Earl Ludwig in eastern Sercago and has been kept captive like cattle for months without being treated as a human being.
The people who found him later took a break, but rumors spread like wildfire. Some say that the Three Princes' personality has become more crooked.
‘There was a rumor that the man who did it was the Duke's knight. ’
The man I found was also the only duc of Sercado. Poop is poop, but I got caught up in the damn thing.
