From a terminal Soldier to Monarch

After meeting the prince, I came close to my accommodation.

“So what are you going to do? ”

You have a clumsy voice.

“Hook, I don't need it all. Kill him. Bring him in. ”

A silent voice.

It was definitely coming from my nest. The closer I got, the clearer I heard my voice.

“Quiet. I wouldn't kill him right now if I were you. If we're lucky, we could just get banished. ”

And I heard a voice stopping them.

“So you're going to wait? ”

I could feel the rush in my voice.

“Hook! It's not good to wait. ”

“If the three of us just go in there, we'll only have three more gravestones. Wait a minute. Even if we try to raid, we go at night. ”

It's a calm voice. But the method was wrong. Even if I wanted to save him, it would be suicide to use those three against the Earl's forces. There were three conspirators in there, wrapped around their heads to save someone.

“I got it!”

One of them repeats the same thing like a parrot.

“Keep your voice down. ”

Some pretend to be calm, but others are overwhelmed by panic.

“Chris' death is meaningless. Let's go now."

Well, if you could just turn your head a little bit, you'd know by now that the three of you will be dead by the time you get to the Earl.

“Damn it.”

Tongue.

I opened the door one last time to insult Lynd. The three of you are reflexively moving.

Heave.

A hatchet falls over my head and a heavy halberd cracks my waist open.

It even feels like a needle, and Lind pulls a bow and opens her eyes wide at me.

The reaction rate is accepted. The axe stops just a handbreadth overhead, and Halberd's blade taps and stops. And the bow was not pulled. Lind, who loosened the short bow, asked, unraveling the protests.

“Why are you here? ”

“Can't you stay here? ”

Axe and Digo look at me, blinking their eyes with their weapons. Seeing them like that, I asked.

“Who are you going to save? ”

“You."

The axe points at me with its finger.

“What if I get caught trying to work at night, or talking here in the first place? You want me to listen to everyone passing by? ”

“Whew.”

Lind sighs and sits on my bed.

“What happened? ”

After a long time of volunteering as a search party, I returned to the prince and heard that I had been taken to trial.

I thought I was walking fast, so I thought I'd come back now because I've come a long way. The perplexed were gathered in my room, fully armed, with nothing to look back and forth about.

“Well, they say it's a misunderstanding. ”

To be precise, I'd say Prince Bastard beat them all to a pulp, but long story short.

“Thank goodness.”

The axe leaves a note and finds the jerky I hid, pulls it out and asks for it in my mouth. We have emergency supplies as usual, but you're looking for them and eating them.

“I thought you were in trouble. ”

“Well, Chris, I told you I'd get ahead of myself. ”

No, look at these guys. He pretended to change his attitude quickly. When I looked closely, I didn't even wash the dirt off my boots.

“Hey, the floor's getting dirty. Get out.”

“Here we go. ”

There's two of them out in the lead. The last time Diego looked at me. I saw hesitation on his face. Digo is not usually a talkative person, but he is not one to say so.

“Am I a burden? ”

Seeing him ask honestly and seriously, I couldn't pass him off as a joke.

“If I thought it was Jim, I wouldn't even be here. ”

You can't catch chickens with a cattle knife. I don't know how he took my word for it, but Digo bows his head and walks out.

“Oh, you bastards. ”

The floor is already dirty. The guards will have a hard time cleaning up tomorrow. I lay in bed, staring at the door they left.

I didn't feel bad. As soon as he heard I'd been caught, he would have come running without sleep or breathing. Digo and the axe would have come right at us, and Lind would have stopped them. If it's a problem, even Marley Lynd isn't well aware and is trying to help in the raid.

If the prince had come a little later, or just a day later, there would have been a big accident. It would be a mess.

They raid at night to save me from being taken away, and there may be casualties or casualties. A messy soldier couldn't stop those three.

Biceps.

When I imagined it, my heart jumped. I didn't feel really bad. I still have a lot of work to do and things to prepare, but I thought I'd like to rest for the day. I got up and opened the door and walked away from the three of you.

“Let's wash up and go to sleep. ”

“I was almost exhausted. ”

“I'm hungry.”

Tuck.

I ran and put my arms on their three shoulders. You stopped the raid on the prince well. In the meantime, I got everything I wanted. It was all in the calculations.

The only thing out of my calculations was these three. Their movements were unexpected.

“Hey, do you think a white captain's going to open his mouth? ”

“Then use your toebox while you're here. Squire, Chris. ”

Lind says, and I nod, smiling.

“Come, this brother is opening his mouth for you today. ”

“Who's your brother? I'm a little early for my birthday. ”

“The highest-ranking brother. ”

Lynd laughs as I run with the horse.

“Come on, let's see who's better on the next battlefield. ”

“It's a good bet. You have to hide who's on top of Lynd or the axe. ”

Digo agrees with me.

“The axe is up. ”

The axe snaps in.

“That's bothering me. ”

Then Lind takes it badly.

Hell training from Technologies gave them confidence, but at the same time, it gave them courage to grow as well.

The three of you show a fierce vigor at the end of Lynd's words. I thought I'd burst out laughing for no reason to see it. I opened my mouth to them.

“After washing it, it is cooked pork ribs and a month-long brew. ”

“Medicine?"

“That potion? ”

Lind and Digo react and the axe is already running. Towards the bath.

I made various things out of the remaining herbs, and some of them were herbs. A sweet drink made by Alice that is nothing compared to the blood tongue commonly consumed by filthy beer or soldiers.

“Let's go!”

Lind was excited and ran, and soon the three of them blew themselves up in the bathtub. I also ran to the bathhouse manager and asked him for forgiveness.

I usually keep my meds handy, so I'm pretty sure I'm dead.

“Please.”

“It's not work. ”

Wash up like that and come back to my quarters and eat and pour yourself a drink. I was in the middle of.

Knock, knock.

Someone knocks on the door.

“Who are you at this hour? ”

Drunk Lind stumbles to the door. In front of him stood someone who did not know what to expect.

“Danger, my ass. I'm good at it. ”

It's Alice. She wears three blades around her waist, two blades, and then she snorts.

“I came because I said it was dangerous. ”

“Have a drink while you're here. ”

I think he was a tactician from Tekil. Maybe Tequila tried to use her hands to tell me I was taken to trial.

“Is that potion? ”

The elixir I dipped was a drink that many people coveted.

“Give me a drink. ”

After joining Alice, we hit the bottle. After the axe, Lynd, and Digo reach out.

“I'm out of here. ”

Alice, who was drunk with a blush, wakes up.

“Thank the teacher. ”

“Do it yourself. ”

Alice was the best of us. She staggers and walks out. The last time I looked back, she muttered. I couldn't hear it well because it was so small.

“I'm glad you're alive. ”

I want you to open your eyes wide and look straight at me, and Alice, who looks like she's blusher than she was just now, hides herself in a thunderous darkness.

“Whoa.”

My breath smelled like bad booze. I blinked at the three of my outstretched eyes and fell asleep on the bed.

The prince stayed for three more days and left. The Ludwig Knights escort you on your way out. It would have been inevitable for Earl Ludwig if he had been attacked more than once and twice.

It's been three months since the prince left. Nothing has changed. I trained over and over again, and Tequila pushed us harder than ever.

Digo is much bigger than before, and Lynd spends a lot of time with his soldiers, and his tone is thicker.

The axe remains silent and lives with the blade sharpened. It was days of training and refinement.

The Earl invited me to dinner just once. It was a grubby position, but there was no reason to refuse. And then he didn't come looking for me again. It was natural. The Earl covets technology, but it's the same reason he doesn't get involved too hard. Tequila and I can't learn vice.

When I was invited to the dinner, I remembered his butler staring at me.

Maybe he's a talent appraiser.

The Wizard must be blessed by Mana, and the knight must be chosen by Weiss. And sometimes special people would show up.

Rarely have they received Mana's blessing, but they know how to feel Mana.

These were the talent appraisers. Weiss is the principle of academic discipline that floating Mana is transformed into a human body. That's why Weiss's chosen people naturally feel Mana.

The talent appraiser felt Mana and had an 'eye’ to find the natural trace of bitterness.

The butler.

Definitely a talent appraiser. Anyway, it was clear why the Earl didn't care much about me.

I don't have a gift for tech or vice.

The Earl is preparing for the battle against the Palm Moon. That doesn't make any sense to me.

“Squire Chris? ”

I waited three months. I asked the prince for a specific item in return for saving his life. And someone just arrived to deliver it.

“Whew, I've had to suffer so many times to get here. I'm Chic Millions from Central Shed. ”

He was a man in his mid-30s. He looked so sad because his head was half-bared and his cheeks were thin and dry.

“Yes. Nice to meet you. This is Chris Squire.”

I looked at his whole body with the horse. I didn't see any special luggage. Especially not books or precious things.

Chic smiled at me and said.

“I couldn't bring it because it was forbidden. ”

“Yes?”

“That's why I'm here. ”

What I wanted was two books, and the prince sent me one. When I looked at him, he said,

“I've studied Nine Towers and Arrow shots for over a decade. Let me introduce you again. I'm Chic Million, a scholar at Central Shed who studies the art of vice technology. ”

He reached out his hand and I grabbed his hand.

What I asked of the prince was the Vise Act. I didn't want royal craftsmanship to be the most powerful weapon of our time. It's not a matter of evacuation, it's a national loss as soon as any part of it is breached.

What I want is an old relic.

It was an act of the past that no one knows about.

*

There was a step up for Vise users.

“It's usually divided into nine stages. ”

Lois, who came out of her past life together, was proficient in this side of knowledge.

“Phase nine? ”

“I don't even know how long it's been since I used Vise. How much have you studied? ”

“Not really.”

It was worth it. There were few people who studied the knights because the knights were visuals and there were hardly anyone with a head. The research was done by scholars, and they liked to divide everything into appropriate stages.

“The first floor, the entrance to Weiss, is where children learn to empower adult men. This is usually called the first floor, the first floor. ”

“Why first floor? ”

“That's..., are you going to ask me everything? ”

“Yes.”

It was a dull afternoon. I couldn't get out of work, and it rained without a hitch.

“You know there's more than one technique, right? ”

There were several ways to perform the Weiss Act. It was also fashionable with time and age, and as many things had happened, many things had disappeared.

“The first thing that was studied was the Nine Towers, the first, and one of the fundamental techniques. Scholars used it to divide the Vice user stage. ”

I heard a lot about Weiss back then. There is a past, a vice technique in each country's reporting system. Royce, who has been frying his saliva for quite some time, asked me to listen carefully.

“What's wrong with Weiss all of a sudden? ”

In the past, the technique that had come down as a vision had been prohibited from even telling the name. Well, we can't all know that now.

“Just.”

I couldn't tell you why. He who owns the treasure must have a heavy mouth.

I wanted to sleep for a while after soaking myself in refined water, and I had a dream. Royse's face is blurred, and a cloudy object begins to appear out of the cloudy vapor.

“Whew.”

I woke up in a moderately cool bath and blinked.

“Ah."

Through a short groan, I expressed a light admiration. I thought a year of refined water would be a perfect time to soak up.

It was quicker than I thought. Today was the same day, but there was something else.

When I came out of the refined water, I could not see it, but I felt the feeling of gently enveloping me on the skin. The Wizard says Mana must be blessed and the knight must be chosen by Weiss.

“I'm done walking. ”

Weiss is the principle of accumulating Mana floating in the atmosphere. The beginning, of course, was the feeling of Mana.

The Earl's butler didn't have the slightest talent for vice when he saw me, but it would be different if he saw me now.

I was just starting to feel Mana and learn Vice. The Refined Water Bath was over.
