I woke up with signs of people approaching.
"Lecan, we're going in. Oh, you're awake."
There was someone you spoke to. [M]
"Ezak. Ezak."
It was these Ezaks that Lekan first met when he fell into this world. Lekan then had the Zaid Mall family live for a year, but the head knight of the Zaid Mall family was this Ezak.
"Oh, yeah. It's me. Lecan, I was surprised last night. If you think there's a big man falling right around the house, that's what Lecan was. What the hell happened?
"I just fell drunk. Where am I?
I looked around the room and saw light armor and boots beside the bed, along with "White Devil's Foot Ring" and swords.
"Don't you see that, too? It's at the end of the aristocracy. That's where knights and bureaucrats live."
My body is not in bad shape. No, rather very good. But just in case, you should ask Edda to "purify" you.
"You fall drunk. That's silly. It wasn't just that sweaty thing. I didn't smell liquor."
"But keep it that way."
"Hmm? Something's going on. By the way, there's something I wanted to ask you when I met Lekan."
"Wow. What?"
"Haven't you seen the Grounddragon Tron in the northeastern outskirts of Zaid Mall territory?
"I don't know."
"There were signs that something huge had fought hard, and there was a massive strain dropping there. It's sold for a very high price. It was a dragon tron. The territory is very helpful thanks to it. Wasn't it you who fought Tron?"
"If that's the case, what are we gonna do?"
"You have a right to your share."
"I see. It's instrumental. But as I said, I don't know Tron."
"Right. Lecan."
"Yeah?"
"Excuse me, thank you"
"Keep your head up. I don't have the guts to thank you. I'm the one who took care of you and the Zaid Mall people. I'm the one to thank. By the way, this is your house?
It's Master Gascoel's house.
"Gascoel?"
"He's the eldest son of a lord. The Wangdu Guard, not the Wangdu Knights now, or the Wangdu Knights' quarters, but I was recently reclassified as a righteous knight, and I had just rented this house and moved in. Thanks to Tron."
"Ezak, you better stop saying Tron."
"I know. Actually, I don't even tell Master Gascoel about this. It's only recently that I found out it was Tron's. That's what Zaid Mall calls the Forest Spear."
If you ask me, Tron's toast doesn't even look like a big spear. Pretty good naming.
"Nevertheless, I didn't expect you to tell me that. Looks like you've learned a lot. The language became a lot more fluent as well. By the way, aren't you hungry?"
"Reduced. It's a pepper."
"Ha. Let him bring his meal now. It's getting a lot cooler though. Hey! Shrik! Bring me Lecan's meal."
Outside the room, I heard a reply saying yes.
"Shrik? Is he here, too?"
"Oh. It's not just Shrik. I'm bringing ten young men. They're all hands-on to you."
"Wow. Ten men is a manners."
"Thanks to the Forest Spear for that and this. I can only thank the one who fought Tron."
"You may not be human, you fought Tron. It's more or less a human gathering, but it's not someone you can fight."
"You know what? Right. If there was someone who could fight Tron, he'd be really strong as a monster."
"Mr. Lecan. Good morning. I brought you a meal."
"Oh, Shrik. Long time no see. I hear there's more coming."
"Yes, I don't have that many beds here yet, so I'm renting a lodge"
"Well, Lecan. I have to take the Shriks to the royal palace."
"To the royal palace? Speaking of which, you're wearing a lot of fine armor."
"Oh, I'm in the hands of a knight today."
"What. You're a knight."
"Yes."
Ezak is originally a knight of the Zaid Mall, but this is just a knight entrusted to him by his lord. The original knight is that which is entrusted to him by the king, and this is called the sworn knight. But even a landlord as much as the Wazlov family does not have a large number of knights. There can be no such thing as knighting a minister in a country like Zaid Mall.
"Right. You've been treated a lot by your lord."
"Oh, you're overpriced."
"Ezak, you will be a good knight. No, I already am. I think it's best if the lord trusts you."
"You surprise me. I didn't expect to hear such a compliment from Lecan. The arm of the sword was never praised."
"I don't give a shit."
"It was."
The two laughed at each other.
"Well, I'm going. Take your time and eat. Mr. Gascoel is very busy with Lekan. Excuse me, but wait for Gascoel to return."
"You told me you were running errands? I don't think we've met before."
"That's what Organo said."
"Organo?"
"I am the knight of Lord Gascoel's side service. Coming from Zaid Mall. I was kind of surprised to hear that it was Lecan I took home yesterday. Master Gascoel was on the night shift yesterday. I was supposed to be back in the morning, but you're not home yet. So the knight Organo picked him up. Master Gascoel has something important to do with Adventurer Lekan, so make sure you keep him waiting."
"Hmm?"
(We have to tell the Wazlov family we're safe.)
(Well, that'll work out)
"Is that knight Organo better than Ezak?
"No, I'm supposed to have a higher sequence at the Zaid Mall house."
Ezak shrugged his shoulder.
"Right now, there is no permanent servant in this house, but there is one woman who cooks and cleans on the street. Take your time, if you can. I'll be back as soon as the Syriac ceremony is over. Let's have a toast today. Speaking of which, Lecan's been summoned to the royal palace, too. Right. Much more active, isn't it? Let me hear that story, too."
"Oh."
(How does Ezak know that?
(Did you pinch it in your ear at the royal palace?
