From a terminal Soldier to Monarch

My life's luck seemed to be spent. When I brought my tired body out, my eyes burst with bright sunlight.

“Whew.”

Damn, that's hard.

I lay flat on the floor. As a Treasure Hunter, you have never had a more convincing treasure.

Maybe it was all for today. I swallowed a smile that was about to explode. Literally, I risked my life to explore, and I got lucky. A thick book, something that would change my life. And a year after I got the item, I looked at the book and I was devastated.

“Why do I get it now? ”

It was the fall of the year when it was only thirty years old. I stared at the thing in my hand. Thick books were light on what materials were made, but their value was never light.

It is the treasure of a kingdom that will become the enemy of the entire continent just by having it.

What I had in my hand was something to hold onto one of the treasures I'd ever found. in the hands of someone who can use it.

“This is insane.”

I can't sell it. How to value this object, and the moment you sell it, you risk your life. The teacher said it would be an unmanageable treasure.

You were right. This treasure was a disaster because I couldn't use it. Stuff to be discarded, stuff to hide.

“Ha."

When I got this, I was as disappointed as I was excited.

Scholars from all over the continent have gathered together to study the Weiss Act. They stole their Vice Act and created a new theory. It was embedded evenly in this book.

The second thing I don't understand is that I need to get basic arts from each country. It could not have remained so far.

“Ha.”

I just sighed. I'm disappointed, but it doesn't change that I keep my head down and look at the ground.

I soon buried this thing. This meant nothing to me.

“Damn it.”

I'd rather have a bunch of jewels.

It's a problem even if you get a basic technique. Can you learn vice at my age? Vise's imprint says it can only be done when you're a child.

It's like a grimoire in Orc hands. No, it was more than that. It cannot be written down or thrown away.

I had no choice but to say that I had found a good book to read my whole life. The content of the book was difficult, but it was usually a big part of my interest. I asked Royce what I didn't know, and I learned what I didn't know by going through this book and that book. I was just sad, so I read it for a bit. It was the greatest treasure I'd ever retrieved in my life as a Treasure Hunter. But it was more like a memory than an understanding.

I saw it when I was bored.When I was on a mercenary mission, and when I was studying, and before I went to bed, and when I was traveling a long way to find herbs, I just watched. Naturally, it was all etched into my head.

“In the end, you need to test everything else for this one. ”

I gave up all the headache theories and firmly remembered what to use in practice.

Will I be able to use it for the rest of my life? I need to be young again, and I need to learn about the basic craftsmanship laws I keep in the royal family.

“If I'm going to keep it, I'm going to keep the basics. ”

They are ungrateful children. Well, what if I insult the dead and the missing? It was time to give up the real sense of stupidity.

*

“I don't know what you're going to use it for by learning this."

Sic Million from the royal province asked. I stroked the back of my left hand with clear skin instead of a bunch of scars that I have not lost in this lifetime.

It was a very long explanation, but it was just a pat on the back of the left hand with the right hand. Regret was new to me.

“I'm also interested in the fundamental arts. ”

Chic Millions is exploring what other scholars are turning away from. Just by showing the same interest, he was eager to teach me how to perform.

The only way to make it work for a geek is to share his interests. Chic Million vomits.

“You know? You have to use good steel to make a good knife. And there's a lot of hammering to do to keep the blade from breaking. ”

I don't know what you're talking about.

“Whatever you do, the foundation is important. It's like saying that to make the best craftsmanship, you have to explore the basics, the primordial. ”

Twitch.

I looked closely at him, wondering if he was one of the people who wrote the treasure I got. In other words, he was right. I knew it.

“That's right.”

When I agreed with him, he laughed and said. I bought the geek's pleasure, so it was time to get what he had.

“Well, what do you want to know? ”

Weiss acquires in two stages in total. The first is Carving, the branding process on the body, and the second is opening the door so that the vise filled in the stigma moves.

“Everything.”

I was going to get it all when I could. Chic Millions gladly taught me a lot about my attitude.

The foundation of treasure from my past life was firmly embedded in my head. I didn't want to forget that. It was part of my life that was hard to come by. It was the scum of my dreams that I couldn't give up.

It was something I had to throw away, but it was a fool I couldn't throw away because I was sure it was a treasure.

“All the other scholars treat these two techniques like garbage, but I don't think so. ”

Sic says, and I nod. Nine Towers and Arrow shots are abandoned by scholars who have been turned away and studied by the vice users who will learn them.

I replied to Chic.

“I don't think so. ”

If these two were with me, it could be something completely different. I was able to make real treasure based on the two.

I knew how to master the vice in my previous life, how to create a new vice, but I couldn't reach it.

It was different now. I could hold it all in my hand. I learned two techniques from Siq Millions: the Three Princes, the Earl, and no one thought I could learn Vise from just hearing the basics of them. You don't think I have it in me at all.

After learning both techniques, I deliberately vacated my home and headed to Technologies.

“You."

I'm not a talent appraiser, but I've learned that a lot of experience is an intuition for technology.

“You've changed.”

I felt right about Tequila. I felt Mana.

“Let me borrow a room. ”

I didn't know how long it would take to mix the two techniques and engrave something new on my body. I was about to apply for a vacation on purpose.

“Whatever.”

I unravelled one of my secrets in gratitude to Technologies. It was for Alice.

“If you wish..."

Not much has been given to it by Techkill. If he wanted, he could give Alice a vision. I told him about the Apprentice.

“Is that really possible? ”

“Alice is still not well enough. ”

I wasn't going to say no. A thin voice dug in between us before Tequila's mouth opened.

“I'll do it.”

Tequila and I both know Alice is listening behind the door.

“I'll tell you how. ”

I couldn't tell you the Refined Water Recipe, so I suggested how to use the medicinal ingredients I've made in the water. After that, he gave me the innermost room.

“Whew.”

I went in, breathed, and sat on the floor. From now on, it was an unknown path. It was time to set my first foot in a white snowy field.

As I felt the beating heart, I caught Mana grabbing on top of my body. People who are visually competent don't feel it, but use Mana naturally. Using it, the flow of Mana around the body and other people changes.

What talent appraisers see is the flow. I had no natural talent. All I have is acquired effort. I sensed Mana and tried to make a move.

Alice fed me for two days, and it wasn't until I split my sleep and focused that I was able to apply my own unique flow to the manna floating around my body.

The Wizard is blessed by Mana, and Weiss says he must be chosen by Weiss.

If the wizard moves Mana, Weiss builds it up and transforms it into something else. That's what Weiss is, a force beyond human limits.

“Ha.”

Flowed Mana seeps into the body through the nose and mouth. I just draw a circle, moving a single stalk that will scatter and disappear. It wasn't easy. However, hope grew. Immediately after the failure, a familiar voice rang into my ears.

[EXP increased]

Let's do it again.

I have repeated it many times since then. I took a month-long sabbatical, and I told my men in advance. He also said to practice feeling the flow when you feel Mana.

I had to walk ahead of them and be the one to clear the way for them to go. Well, it's not that different from before. It's always Pathfinder's turn to lead the way.

“Cough! Cough! ”

Earl van Ludwig covers his mouth with his hands. It was hard to resist a cough boiling deep in my heart. The cough that seemed to spill my intestines continued for a long time.

“Are you all right?”

A dull expression. Red hair reminds me of its mother.

“I'm fine.”

When I saw the palm of my mouth wiped, there was red blood.

‘Soon. ’

Earl van Ludwig notices that his lifeline is burning like a candle. The wick is shorter, the wax melts away, and there's not much left. Once the candle was extinguished, it would never be lit again.

“What about your servant?"

“You went to the High Guard. ”

“Whew.”

Earl Ludwig takes a deep breath leaning against his back on the chair. Tired and exhausted.

He had three sons. Earl Ludwig's hands were always precious. I had five wives, but only three children.

Ludwig, a humble servant, first raised his expectations, but lacked the means to see him. I wanted to get rid of him right away, thinking about the time I was beaten by the Three Princes without being able to do anything about it.

Second, Malt Ludwig, who studied in the Royal Road. I had a good head, but no dreams. I just want to live with painting for the rest of my life.

“What a jerk. ”

I spit at myself and saw the third Whelken Ludwig. He can't even put down his gender properly. Instead of giving a child out of the closet, the unconcerned god allowed a child to have a child outside just once.

‘If we meet properly. ’

Van Ludwig would have put the Wheelken in his place at all costs. He had an outstanding talent that would be the next great wall. Hülken was a Weiss user, a knight without shortage to be called a genius.

‘But you can't. ’

The servant has a narrow stomach. His mother was a member of a powerful aristocrat, even in the royal province. I know that no matter how dark it is in politics, we cannot survive on the battlefield and the battle alone.

“Hülken.”

“Tell me.”

Van Ludwig knew it was time to make bold decisions as death approached.

“Take the knight's oath. ”

“... Knight's oath? ”

I raised him with a wheelchair and made him my own sword, but I didn't force him.

A knight's oath is his name and all he has to live for. Famous for her knights, the knight praises the beauty of the princess himself and wields a sword for her whole life. He does not draw the Shyi sword under any insult, but if anyone speaks carelessly about the princess, he has the right to draw the sword from any powerful nobleman.

That is the strength of the knight's oath, the oath. I have to protect it for the rest of my life.

“Make a pledge of allegiance to your servant. ”

If he dies, will Wheelken follow him? Van Ludwig was unsure. As death approached, Izzie's explanation may have been blurred, but it was always right to be prepared.

“Can you promise? ”

Van Ludwig realized that Hülken could not refuse. While he was alive, he was bound by what he had given him.

“I'll do it.”

Without emotion, Van Ludwig was relieved.

Since that day, Van Ludwig's health has worsened while his servant was in the High Guard.

“Your father!”

When Van Ludwig's eldest son returned, his father's eyes blurred and clouded, showing that he had very little time left to live.

“Your humble servant.”

“Yes, Father. ”

“Call the Malt and keep it close, and use the Wheelken as your sword. ”

Van Ludwig said.

“Wheelken, keep your promise. ”

Half the silence continues with Van Ludwig, and Hülken nods.

“Profit. Get lost! ”

The servant shouts to Whelken. They don't know he exists. The servant hates the wheelchair better than himself. It was the moment Whelken bowed his head and stepped out in a sunny tone.

“Duke!"

“What's going on? ”

How dare you barge into the Earl's chambers in the middle of a sickness?

The servant frowns and the servant opens his mouth regardless.

“Armstrong's Invasion! ”

It was an invasion two years earlier than Chris knew. The moment the servant's mouth opens, the servant freezes.

My father collapsed and he was just returning. It was only a matter of time before I woke up and gave the order.

“Bring me some armor. ”

Van Ludwig rises from his bed.

“Father!"

“The EightMoon is making a generous burial. ”

He was cruel to some and fearful to others, and a cruel lord to others.

He's a defensive hero, a defensive wall. It was he who prevented the violence of Eichmoon for decades. As the final battle approaches, the dull light in his eyes fades.

“The battlefield where I opened my eyes, the battlefield where I closed my eyes. ”

It was the moment when Van Ludwig stood up. And it was just when Chris came out of Tequila's room after everything was done.
