I am the Monarch

< Chapter 7 Chain >

------------------------------------

"Droplets?"

Inside the small box were two drop-shaped objects.

A drop the size of a nail.

Roan can't help but look inside the box.

"Hmm."

At that time, I saw a small note on the inside of the lid of the box.

< Even after obtaining the treasure, I leave you a real gift for taking care of my future. >

Roan smiles.

‘Cute guy. ’

I didn't expect to have this condolence.

The note also said what this bizarre object was.

“Huff!”

As he reads the note without thinking, he swallows up the false wind.

A shivering eye tail.

"Oh, this is Callian's tear? ’

Callian's tears.

Roan was also the only thing I'd ever heard of.

‘I can't believe Lewis Brandt had Kalian's tears. ’

One of the last remaining artifacts left in the human world by the Dragon Khalian, over 200 years ago.

Called the tears of Kalian because of its drop-like shape, it was known to have ten pairs of guns and had a very powerful function.

< Including Kalyan tears in one eye greatly improves vision and improves visual ability. >

Louise's notes were also about her abilities and functions.

The only sad thing is that it's not written down how Louis got hold of Callian's tears.

Roan sighs, gazing into Calian's tears.

‘Did Baron Tate get Kalian's tears? ’

Six years later, the library fires and accidentally discovers Brant's ring.

This is the whole story known to the world.

Roan's eyes narrow.

‘Probably got it. ’

I wasn't sure, but it was more likely

‘Certainly, Baron Tate's swordsmanship had risen tremendously since the library fire. ’

It was clear that Brant's ring was an outstanding artifact, but it made it nearly impossible to improve his swordsmanship.

‘Callian's tears have given her enormous visual acuity. ’

Even with its known effect, it can see things as if they were directly in front of it, and it can see much more visual information in a shorter period of time than before.

‘Not only that, there are limits to the number of times and time, but there is also the ability to see things move slowly. ’

Literally tremendous ability.

‘I don't envy Phil's ability to see with Callian's tears. ’

My heart thumped and ran roughly.

With Kalian's tears, you will be able to practice spear and martial arts at a much higher level than before.

Ugh.

Roan picks up one of Calian's tears and puts it in his right eye with a very careful hand.

‘Hmm.'

At that moment, the cold, hot feeling shifted, sweeping through my eyes.

Roan is not embarrassed, and the rest of Calian's tears are placed in his left eye.

Similarly, I felt the cold and hot feeling alternately.

Blink, blink.

Roan cautiously blinks his eyes and looks around slowly.

‘It's not much different. ’

The scene in front of my eyes was no different than usual.

I just feel like my eyes are a little soft and comfortable.

‘You didn't lose your ability or anything, did you? ’

Roan looks at the bookshelf from afar, slightly anxious.

I plugged it into the side of a very small, thin book with a gaze on the top of the bookshelf.

Moment.

Su-woo.

As the sight in front of my eyes grew bigger, the side of a very small and thin book that was far away looked large.

Heave!

Roan looks a little surprised at the sudden situation.

< Analysis of Fish Species in Lake Foucane. >

The title of a very small book was clearly shown.

‘This is one of Calian's powers of tears. ’

After blinking his eyes, the scene returned to its original state.

"That's great. That's great, but..."

Certainly an enormous ability, but I can't smile.

'You must be proficient in the ability and function of Kalian's tears. ’

Everything was new now.

Fighting off the edge of the spear with the enemy will increase the face of the longevity in the rear, or put your life at risk.

‘After all, it's training again. ’

You have to sew beads to make them precious.

Roan intends to continue his training so that her tears can be worth a fortune as a real treasure.

‘In my last life, I lived with no effort at all. ’

Obviously much better than before.

Depending on your efforts, you might actually become a monarch.

Click.

Roan pulls out Lewis' notes and puts the small box back inside the bookshelf.

Put 20 Louis Brandt's books on top of it, it looks just like before.

“Whew.”

I got what I expected and what I didn't.

Roan stood at the entrance and tidied up his clothes.

There's only one thing that's different from when you came in.

It was just a ring on the left index finger.

However, there was no need to look carefully at it because it looked so crude and crude.

‘Come on.'

Roan carefully opens the door and walks out.

At that moment, I heard a voice in my ears.

“Are you Roan? ”

Strange voice.

Roan frowns and looks at the place where his voice was heard.

A boy who looks like he's in his early teens.

The boy in white and white, well-groomed brown hair, and clean and luxurious conquest was clearly the nobleman's discipline at first glance.

‘The librarian is very nervous. ’

The young man guarding the entrance of the stand also looked nervous.

Roan takes a careful look at the boy.

"Why do I look so familiar? ’

I felt a familiar face.

Roan stands in front of the boy and lowers his head slightly.

“Yes, I'm Roan. ”

I couldn't take it lightly because I was young.

Roan was still a civilian, only a fifth grade deputy of the 7th Army.

If the boy was a noble, and it was also a nobleman's disciple, he had to be careful not to even talk nonsense.

The boy smiled and reached out his hand.

“Hello. My name is Ian. Earl Phillips' eldest son. ”

Boom.

At that moment, Roan was shocked as if he had been hit with a hard back head.

Ian Phillips? Ian Phillips, the extortion genius strategist? ’

He looks at Ian with a somewhat dazed look on his face.

Ian grins and breaks his head.

“What's on my face? ”

An artificial voice with a slap in the face.

After finally regaining his senses, he grabs Ian's hand.

“Oh, no. Earl Philips is a very prestigious nobleman.......”

“Well, it's all anonymous. ”

Ian waves his hands lightly.

In the past few months, Ian's rough hands and his silky soft hands were fiercely contrasted with each other.

“It's not what I expected. I thought you looked smarter. ”

Ian smiles brightly and looks at Roan's face.

“I've been dying to meet you. ”

In the following words, Roan's mind gets complicated.

"You wanted to see me? ’

I've never met Ian alone in my last life.

Instead of answering quickly, Roan glances at Ian.

Ian points fingers at the entrance of the library.

“Can we go outside and have a baby? ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

Roan bows slightly.

The commoner himself couldn't resist the request of the nobleman, Earl Philips' eldest son.

But before that, a strong curiosity arose.

‘What in the world could he possibly want with me? ’

Somehow my heart was pounding.

Ian and Roan left the Brandt Library and headed to a small teahouse nearby.

‘These are the knights of the Earl Philips. ’

With some distance from Ian, Roan sticks his tongue out, watching the men chasing him.

The shimmering armor and large sword were indeed enormous.

‘I've been arrogant. ’

Among the regional forces that participated in the Petian Plains subjugation, as well as the 7th Army, he thought he was capable of firing.

In fact, no one followed Roan in his work or majors.

‘I thought this would really make me a commander and a monarch. ’

That's what I thought just now in the library at Brandt.

But when I saw the Earl knights, I realized how much the idea was like a frog in a well.

‘You were able to boast among the regular soldiers. ’

Nevertheless, he did not become self-conscious or frustrated.

‘Wait a little longer. Just a little bit.'

He was confident he would become much stronger than Earl Philips' knights.

If we do what we plan to do well and try constantly, we will be able to surpass them in the early hours.

‘Of course, everything has to be as I thought. ’

It won't be easy.

The fact that Ian showed up was not part of the plan.

“What would you like to drink? ”

“I just need some water. ”

“Really? I'd like a Wet Tea and a Water, please. ”

Ian skillfully placed the spell and looked at him with an interesting expression.

“I don't like to talk around. I came to you because of Operation Frelly River. ”

I have a smile on my mouth.

“You said that was your plan. ”

Roan nods slightly, not embarrassed, but an unexpected question.

“Yes, it was my plan. ”

Of course, that was exactly what little Ian was going to write in his report five years from now.

Ian claps his hands.

Pair!

“That was a great plan. ”

He pushes his face forward to the table.

“When I looked at the map, I thought I'd like to do a manual operation. But they didn't think there was enough there to do the handiwork. How did you know there was a temporary reservoir there? ”

A quick exhale without a single breath.

Roan smiles bitterly.

‘I read your report five years later and found out. ’

Of course, I couldn't say that.

Roan replied with a bold expression.

“I think strategy and tactics are just as important in warfare and combat as strong forces and troops. With a good tactic, you can defeat thousands and tens of thousands of enemies with hundreds of troops. So how do you build a good tactic? ”

It wasn't a question I was hoping for an answer.

Ian looks at Roan with gleaming eyes and waits for the next words.

“I think big, organized information underpins good tactics. ”

“Ah!”

At Roan's words, Ian bursts low elasticity.

“Does that mean you've always been familiar with the Frilly River area in order to create good tactics and strategies? ”

Essential words.

Roan nods slowly.

“Yes. Even small pieces of information that no one else is interested in collecting and analyzing carefully can someday be very helpful. ”

“Hmm.”

Ian is troubled by his low depression.

Roan sat still and cared about what he said, not talking nonsense.

‘You must have realized something. ’

He notices that Ian is deeply preoccupied with his thoughts.

In the meantime, Wet Tea and Water appear, but no one touches them.

After a while, Ian claps his hands and smiles brightly.

Pair!

“Good. It's become a big study. ”

When he finishes his thought, he looks at Roan and raises his thumb.

“I drew a picture that I really liked. ”

“The painting?”

“Yes, I have a habit of thinking about what I want to do and what I want to do. There are so many different paintings at that time. Nice paintings, so-so paintings, messy paintings. Then just pick a nice painting and paint it yourself. ”

“Ah.......”

Roan shed a low elasticity.

Ian took a deep breath, smiling brightly.

“The importance of information....... I have done a wonderful painting. Now you have to paint it yourself. ”

He quickly empties his cup of tea.

“Khhh. I'm sorry. I can't wait to paint. ”

Ian gets up from his seat and extends his hand.

Roan nods, holding hands lightly.

“That's okay, but show me a great painting later. ”

“Of course. You drew half this painting. ”

Ian pulls out a small handkerchief from his arms.

“A handkerchief engraved with the symbol of our family. Show me that when you get back to the erl. Then I'll treat you as a rare guest. ”

“Thank you."

Roan carefully takes the handkerchief and puts it in his arms.

“Sure. Come and play. ”

Ian shook his hand and hurriedly moved his feet.

The drivers who sat at the tables and enjoyed the cars stood up in a cowardly position.

At that moment, I heard Ian's excited voice.

“It's an information organization. We need to establish an intelligence group within the Earl. ”

“An intelligence agency? Information can be purchased through the Information Guild or Thief Guild. ”

The knights that followed tilted their heads.

I heard Ian's last voice before I left the teahouse.

“That's not a painting that Roan and I drew. ”

That was it.

Ian left the teahouse, which left behind a bustling atmosphere.

Roan sticks his tongue out.

‘This is what a genius looked like as a child. ’

Distracted, but somehow cheerful.

‘I wonder what the painting with me would look like, by the way. ’

Roan puts his hand on his left chest.

Inside was a handkerchief engraved with the symbol of Earl Philips.

‘There was a relationship that didn't exist in the last life. ’

Somehow I feel confident.

‘If I could, I would have Ian Phillips on my side. ’

Friends are good and allies are better.

At this point, he did not expect anything at all.

How this meeting affected Ian today.
