Chapter 20



6 # Banquets (3)

4.

When I arrived at the restaurant, I was already seated in the palace with all the palace brushes and guests. Poden looks at me coming through the entrance and says,

“You’re a little late. Sit down.”

“Yes.”

I sat looking for an empty seat at the flat dining table. Next to his brother Riddle, and across from him, Chesha sits.

Suddenly, Chesha’s eyes met me, fixing her face slightly and avoiding her gaze. I thought I’d never see her again until I went to the Utlands, so I’m a little embarrassed.

The air in the restaurant was really subtle.

The brothers and sisters who have hated me have been making uncomfortable faces somewhere, and adults like Poden and Ebel seem to look great to me.

In such a complex atmosphere, Elvio twists and turns the conversation.

“You’ve seen the duel of our son-in-law. You’ve done a wonderful job. I’m really jealous to have such a son. ”

“Haha! Elvio, you have a remarkable eye for Aiden for your daughter’s marriage. I’m ashamed that I didn’t recognize my son’s possibility even though I’m a father. ”

Elvio, the Podens, and the sheep’s families had their faces sealed.

“Well, a lot of people wondered when I took Aiden up against Chesha. I’m glad that choice is reevaluated at this point. ”

“It’s all in your head, isn’t it? ”

What a visionary name.

It is clear why he decided to arrange a meeting with Aiden, putting aside Ritten who was likely to become heir to the Grand Duke.

It was all determined by my mother’s lineage.

No mention of the original or setup house, but it is clear that the mother of Aiden, Nevia, is not just an ordinary fairy mix. It must be mixed with the blood of a High Elf with mystical powers.

To explain these assumptions, we need to go back almost 20 years from now.

At that time, the Kingdom of Croa sought to improve its relationship with the Aquarius Forest fairies, and to do so, it arranged a dialogue between the successor of the Duke of Stroke and the spirit under the Nymph Ruler Shl. Obviously, that honor is the mother of Aiden, Rilu Arieldi, Nebia. As long as she was the bride chosen for diplomacy, it was clear that even though she was half-bred, she had the blood of the Elves.

Even though it is a tribal clan, this alliance became famous in just a few months.

Since the marriage of Poden and Nevia, a large stable stone mine was found at the border between the boreal forest and the kingdom, and the relationship between the two sides that wanted to recover after the dispute over their ownership was once again severely deteriorated.

Poden, who was chatting with Elvio, notices me and clears his throat.

“Hmmm. I don’t know if you’ve guessed, but I’ve summoned you here today to resolve the conflict. ”

“Conflict · · · What does it mean? ”

When I asked, Poden spoke in a serious tone.

“Ritten.”

Liton, called by his father, looked at me with a worm chewing at me. I feel like my insides are pierced by the humiliation of my face.

Wait a minute.

He smiles bitterly and surprisingly bows to me.

“I’m sorry about all this. ”

Indeed.

Given the atmosphere, I can hear a voice from my father, Poden.

After winning the battle against Julio and sending me to the Riferta border, you’re willing to reconcile the two of us as a second option.

It was clear that the conflict between the eldest son and the next son with outstanding talents as the duke who had to prosper the family was not what he hoped for, and that Ritten needed to change my mind as long as he was also not a fool.

It means that you will come in from the sad side first.

I am the best shareholder in the world with the potential to grow this continent to be a class strength. It would not be wise to lose talents like me because of the personal emotions of the successor of the government.

I answered indifferently.

“I don’t really care. ”

· · · What. ”

Ritten’s head flashes as she trembles in humiliation. He stares at me dumbfounded because it was a lot of surprising answers.

“Haven’t you heard? I don’t care, Grand Duke. ”

“Well, thank you. I wish I could build a good relationship from now on. ”

Seeing that, Poden smiles.

Honestly, what Ritten did was a little awkward, but when I see Chesha’s beauty sitting across from me, I’m not even jealous. Above all, I felt sorry for Ritten even more than I felt sorry for her knowing that she was destined to die less than four years ago.

More importantly, his great-grandmother, Ebel.

Ebel Stroke

[Level: 53/54]

[HP: 17] [Strength: 20] [Agility: 13]

[Magic Power: 14] [Spirit: 11] [Sense: 08]

[Holy: 03]

[Characteristics: Swordsmanship (S +), Ferocious Will (A) and 3 others]

[Skill: Stroke Glutensil, Ultimate (S), Croa Protection Slash, Ultimate (A), Stroke Mechanism (B +), National Palpation (B) and 5 others]

[Description: 67 years old, human. It is part of a dozen current continents and is named one of the strongest knights in the North.]

A stat that pays for titles.

The only difference between the sheets of Ebel stroke in this episode is that they have only one lower strength. I don’t know if it’s natural to think about age, but I think growth is already over by this point.

The first thing that caught my eye was the character of Sword (S +). This is an evolutionary trait of “Swordsmanship (A)” given only to masters who practice heavy striking bludgeoning as a free material. There are Swordsmanship (S +) , which specializes in changing swordsmanship due to its isotopic compatibility characteristics, and Swordsmanship (S +) of the appropriate balance type.

For reference, the final king of this field is The Sword (Ex). However, it is a trait that cannot be obtained in the usual way, and you will not be able to see it until chapter 4.

One explanation is that the plus sign after the rating does not necessarily have a superior performance compared to other characteristics or technologies. + is just a symbol for a character’s key trait or skill.

It’s literally a title.

The harmony method (C +) in my technical field is a good example. The sign is still lower grade than Alsigma or stroke schemes, but it is firmly centered in my body, overcoming the two disputed schemes.

I asked Ebel.

“You’re not going to tell me you forgot the promise you made just before the duel, uncle? ”

“Hmmm! You can’t break a promise once you’re a knight in the North. So what do you want from me? ”

“The Struggle Seal.” Hand over ownership of the item to me. ”

“ “ · · ·! ” ”

After listening to me, Ebel and everyone in the restaurant were very surprised. There was only one exception, and Elvio looked at me with interesting eyes.

The Struggle Seal is a symbol of honor paid directly by the Struggle Church to Continental Titans.

Since it is a stamp with a special identification magic, it is an object that proves its identity, and the act of transferring it to someone else after agreement is interpreted as the intention of honoring them with a dozen honors no matter what the successor does.

In modern terms, it is a guarantee.

A worse Poden intervenes.

“Aiden. Isn’t that too much to ask? You don’t know the importance of that thing! ”

When I heard that, I was disappointed.

“Excessive demands? Isn’t it too much to just hand over an elite knight to a fatso just four months ago and say win? ”

“It · · ·”

Speaking sarcastically, Poden became deaf and dumb. He also slandered the riots of Ritten to humble me. He will have no words of a hundred mouths.

“My great-grandfather assured me I could not win against Lord Bass. I won, unlike I expected. It’s time to pay the price. ”

Ebel sighs at my urge.

“· · · I can’t help it. A promise is a promise. It will take some time for the Brawl Seal to be fully in your hands, since you will need to send a signature to the Brawl Church for a formal handover. ”

I smiled at my mouth because it was an unexpected harvest.

Honestly, I didn’t expect much, but I’ll take this.

After my struggle, dinner took place in an awkward atmosphere. I quickly emptied my bowl and quietly got up.

After leaving the restaurant, Chesha followed me to talk to me.

“Aiden. I’ll accept that offer yesterday. Whatever it takes to create a clan, I’ll follow you. ”

“Uh-huh? ”

I replied with a trembling tone. I don’t know what went wrong overnight, but it’s a faster decision than I ever imagined.

There’s shadows on her face, no matter what.

“But my father won’t let me leave this land. ”

“Until you had a baby, right? ”

“How do you know that? ”

It is only close relatives and some extremists who know that Elvio has fallen into eugenics and is experiencing trial and error. I know a stain that even our old friend Poden doesn’t know about, so she must be surprised.

“If you want, that’s fine. I’ll take care of it. I have a card for you to try to negotiate with the Duke. ”

“ · · · · · · · · · ”

As the story goes too smoothly, Chesha looks like she was attracted to a ghost. I looked at her and smiled.

“I’ll see you at your house in a month. ”

I had a lot to prepare before throwing my ticket. As well as preparing to receive the Chesha from the Utlands, you must do what you must before you leave the Kingdom. To this end, I went on to take action after that day.

0.

The capital of the country, a forest just outside of Recruit.

As I worked hard to explore it with Linnia, I found the entrance to the ruins that I had been aiming for for all day and a half.

A pile of dirt is piled around the apparent stone door. Traces of the ground Estriel dug up while searching for the ruins.

Linia opens her eyes.

“What the hell is this? ”

“A ruin from the Mado Empire era called the Firebird Mausoleum. ”

The reason I came here is, of course, to obtain the Heart of Fire.

I’m going to find the protagonist Epio and feed his heart at an earlier point than the original.

I was just thinking about eating it, but the heart of the firebird is a crucial influence on the direction of epio growth in the original. If I significantly distort my original history too early, the advantages of my knowledge of the future will also disappear. Gain as much benefits as possible, but need to adjust the variables appropriately within predictable ranges.

“Young master, I have a question for you. ”

“Speak as you go. ”

“I’ve been thinking about it, and I think you’ve changed completely lately. Suddenly, he has an outstanding talent for swordsmanship, he knows about herbs he has never heard of or seen in his life, he often gives commands he doesn’t understand · ·”

“Are you saying that being a jackass is better than being a jackass? ”

“No! Of course it looks much better and trustworthy now. I’m sure the rest of the family will think so, too. ”

“ · · · · · · · · · ”

“But she’s growing up so suddenly, and I’m a little worried about her as a full-time maid who’s been with her for a long time. If you have any loose ends, don’t hesitate to tell me. I have been entrusted to you by Nebia. ”

I almost cried.

Linia was the only person I had favored before I possessed Aiden. Others would gladly look at her as if she were reborn, but she would have a strong camouflage as long as she had been looking at Aiden.

This kind of subordinate is right next to me, but what’s wrong with Aiden that he’s become a jackass?

· · · It is clear that my unruly behavior is strange to the eyes of others, excluding personal emotions.

I don’t care if other people don’t know anything about me or not, but I can’t think that way about my colleagues who are about to recruit.

And I’ve been thinking about ways to get the satellite to do what I do.

“Lina. I’ll tell you in advance, just like your family. In fact, the day after I was hit in the head by the Grand Duke, I had a vision. ”

“Yes, a vision? ”
