chapter 24
Episode 24 – You were Caesar too
#One
The expressions on the faces of the knights who came running in a hurry were full of bewilderment, bewilderment, and confusion.
The undead monster, Brion, was dead in groups, and he could see the face of the knight he had been searching for so long.
Is that all?
The scorched scenery here and there and the vibrating smell of burns added to the grotesque.
“this… … .”
“Come. Is Lee Ji-ja Eunslow Sir?”
“uh… … That’s right! this… … Why is this-“
Regev sat down and looked at Sir Eunslow in vain.
The sight of her closing her eyes was so vivid that it would wake up if she woke up any moment.
However, if you lowered your gaze just a little, you could see just how terrible he had been.
“They’re holding a ceremony here. It seemed like something to do with the devil.”
“The devil.”
“These filthy bastards-!”
The rushing knights burst into anger.
Manus glanced at them and ordered Regev.
“I will go back first. Organize this place and move the body well. Don’t forget to leave a mark to find this place again when the day comes.”
“All right. young master.”
Manus gently patted Regev’s shoulder, who looked confused.
That touch was a great comfort to Regev, who followed Sir Eunslo like an older brother.
It was a simple action, but it was a gesture that Sir Eunslo always made with her eyes closed.
Thinking of him brought tears to my eyes.
Second boy, Manus.
Eunslow, who was his senior.
‘What kind of change has occurred in the young master’s mind?’
That would be something only you know.
What is clear is that Caesar’s future is brighter.
As if the knights had seen him again, they were busy whispering.
The mouth and hands were moving separately.
He too was Caesar.
It’s just that the time to bloom was now.
“To think you handled this alone, what the hell… … .”
“He was also Caesar. That’s really great.”
A great man with a great family.
I thought that even the people who belonged there were quite dull.
I guess it’s because I’m still excited when I see something new.
They were also human beings with feelings, so it was a natural story.

The mansion was silent.
Manus passed those guarding the main gate and headed inside.
When I raised my eyes, I saw a place where the light was on.
The room at the top of the main building.
It seemed that someone in the family was awake until midnight.
Manus was quick to recognize who was awake, and saw an overwhelming amount of mana rising from within the room.
-father.
‘How will he evaluate me.’
An old thought came to mind.
An ordinary father worked hard to earn money.
But he was violent.
He was a man whose fists spoke before words.
Did you say Laves?
what kind of person is he
who was it
If it was now, it seemed like we could have a little deeper conversation.
I could feel the gaze from afar.
‘Let’s talk.’
It seemed as if they were calling me that, and I moved on.
My father must have a lot of questions.
It was the same with Manus.
“Welcome.”
“I have returned from my mission.”
“okay. What was the result?”
Manus looked around the office with his eyes and opened his mouth.
Laves assembled the words, thinking about what words he liked and how he liked them.
“They were called the Dire Church. When he died, he was called Belial. Unfortunately for Sir Eunslow… … .”
“Cult of Dire. That’s the first name I’ve heard. You worship Belial?”
They worship all 72 demons of Remegeton, not just Belial. I was speechless.
Now it’s the mother’s turn.
If you reveal too much, you might be suspicious.
“That’s right. You could worship something other than Belial.”
“Such bastards crawled into the principality. These are guys with big livers.”
“Coming here could mean that forces have already been called from elsewhere. father.”
Rabeth raised his eyes and looked at Manus.
A son whose eyes resembled his childhood.
Did he originally have this expression?
He was a child who resembled himself more than the eldest daughter or the eldest son.
So when he was crooked, when he found out he had no talent, he pushed harder.
The moment passed by.
“I’ll go out and take care of it tomorrow. late. Go in.”
“All right.”
Manus rose from his seat.
Laves said nothing until he moved and grabbed the doorknob.
click-.
I heard the door open.
Rabeth reflexively opened his mouth.
“Son.”
“-yes.”
“… … Wake up early tomorrow morning and come to the restaurant. I want to eat while seeing the faces of the whole family for the first time in a while.”
Manus smiled lightly.
“All right. See you in the morning. father.”
The expressions of Rabeth and Manus were somewhat similar.
Late at night, the son realized his father’s heart was warm.
The father realized that his son’s talent was blooming brilliantly.
It was a day that both of them could spend a pleasant night.
next day.
Manus got up early in the morning and headed to the restaurant.
After receiving a report on what happened yesterday, he confirmed that the matter had been taken care of.
It is said that the body has been buried well and that a funeral is being prepared.
‘The Church of Dire will now face a huge enemy. That’s how deterrence was created.’
In the original work, I had to go through a really busy schedule, climbing the tower, going around various families to solve quests, and stopping the resurrection of demons against the Dire Church.
However, now the Caesar family knew the existence of the Church of Dire.
“What did your father say?”
“You said you would strengthen patrols in the principality in the future. And he said that measures would be taken so that no one could enter the remote area.”
“You are my father too.”
Sometimes simple measures can be quite effective.
It is not for nothing that the military takes thoughtless measures.
There are many things to control, especially if you have a vast territory.
The thought that I could take a break from this for a while made me smile.
The restaurant where everyone says they are arriving.
Arrived a little late on purpose, drawing attention.
“Please go in.”
“Everyone is waiting.”
The words that everyone except for the householder and Laves were waiting made Manus’ heart beat.
The huge door opened, and the restaurant, reminiscent of a banquet hall, caught my eye.
“Come on. Did you do a good job?”
“The help of the knights was great. mother.”
“The head of the household was rarely pleased. That’s why I invited you here not as a guest, but as a family member.”
“The Lord is coming.”
Everyone rose from their seats.
Manus also went to the empty seat and waited for his father.
Laveth, who appeared at the restaurant in casual clothes, had a subtle smile on his face.
While he strode to his seat, he looked at the faces he hadn’t seen in a very long time.
Everyone was growing up to be a great Caesar.
Didn’t even Manus, who was the most troublesome, show off his talent to the fullest?
“Today is a happy day. So, let’s laugh and talk and eat.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Everyone answered with one voice.
Manus looked into the eyes of his brothers and sisters.
The older brother, the eldest son, and the eldest of the four siblings still looked at him disapprovingly.
The eldest daughter and the second of the siblings showed a look of surprise, while the youngest showed a look of curiosity.
They seemed to have a lot to say.
However, now it was a place to put curiosity, jealousy, envy and scolding.
“Get up.”
The meal began with the words of the head of household.
The dining table, which was always quiet, was filled with gentle laughter and conversation.
The older brother, older sister, and younger brother also participated in the conversation with a smile.
Manus felt a strange feeling.
It was a sight he had never seen in his life.
No matter how you think about it, he liked this place.
– Motivation was clear.

“There are many things I want to ask you, but I will ask them separately later.”
“thank you.”
His older sister, Invidea, came out to the yard to see him off.
The older brother and younger brother did not come out as to whether they were still awkward or if they were dissatisfied.
Only she took care of her younger brother, Manus.
Previously, her intention to rebel against her father was not jealousy.
It was because he was worried about his younger brother, who was ugly and clumsy, yet emotional and hot-tempered.
Because his ugliness wasn’t ugliness alone.
‘You must have been Caesar too.’
“Go carefully.”
“See you on vacation.”
She waved and waved her hand.
Manus gave a slightly thick, distinct smile.
It was an expression that could shake the hearts of many people.
The carriage was gone.
Invidea looked at it for a long time.
‘I need reinforcements too.’
It was only for an instant that her gaze changed.
Only she knows what she’s thinking.
That’s how things ended in Caesar’s family.
With different thoughts, each other’s time passed.
As always, non-stop.

Arriving at the academy, Manus felt familiar and comfortable.
The dormitory for the 2nd year was empty.
Few returned from a mission in one day.
He moved his steps and headed towards the gathering of the professors.
If you submit a mission confirmation there, it will be reflected in the evaluation.
Time, success or otherwise, there was a spell that students couldn’t open.
-smart.
“Come on in.”
The professors who were leisurely doing their work reacted unexpectedly to the appearance of Manus.
It is a fact that the diamond grade order is spread throughout the academy.
Some of them even thought ‘yeah’.
Most of the normal gold difficulty missions were completed in a full week.
How long will the diamond difficulty mission take?
In my opinion, I expected it to be less than a week or even more difficult than the gold difficulty.
‘But what is this?’
day.
Manus returned from his mission in just one day.
Even for the Caesar family, missions are created and evaluated by special contracts.
You can manipulate people, but you cannot manipulate the contents of the mission.
Of course, there are various expedients, but it is impossible in a general way.
“Did you give up on the mission?”
“Do I look like that?”
Manus walked proudly.
The professor, who had asked just in case, shrugged his shoulders with a puzzled look on his face.
That is to say, I completed a diamond-level mission in just one day.
A certificate of completion of the mission proudly presented.
It was a document with Caesar’s pattern clearly stamped on it.
It’s a matter of checking whether the document is manipulated or not with magic.
“Has confirmed. I’ll let you know if it’s successful or not after verification. Please come back tomorrow.”
“All right.”
Manus is gone.
I was thinking of climbing the tower alone today.
You have to absorb a lot of magic stones to prevent useless sacrifices in the next episode.
After walking briskly, I heard a loud noise from the teachers’ room.
A soft smile hung over Manus’ face.
The first mission was very successful.
