‘Kuk.’

Russell let out a low drool at the strong air current.

Even the form of fighting spirit can take the form of hundreds of weapons.

‘As expected, the Weapon Master.’

How many years, experiences, and trials would be needed to reach the same level as me.

Russell, a wizard, did not dare to fathom its depth.

However, one thing is for sure: Although it is strong, it is not to the extent that it cannot withstand it.

My knees faltered for a moment, but that was it.

‘You mustn’t try to fight from the front.’

Because those who can directly clash with the Master’s momentum are limited to the same Master.

Russell was acutely aware of this through his life-and-death battle with McRae Hughes and his sparring with Muyaho.

However, saying that they couldn’t face each other didn’t mean that they couldn’t endure it.

‘It spills out.’

Squeak-.

The mana flowing from the heart swirls around Russell, creating a strange flow of mana.

Soon, the flow turned into a spiral-like shape.

Whirlpools-.

The speculation that had been flying toward Russell slowly blended into the flow.

It starts to wander around, and soon it flows behind Russell.

Of course, it cannot be said that it was completely shed. The chills on my skin and the tingling sensation in my muscles were still there.

One thing was certain, however, that Russell had received his speculation.

‘her.’

Seeing that, Gillian Pulson stuck out his tongue.

Even though it wasn’t the momentum that I did my best, it was so easy to receive it.

Of course, this level of appearance could also be seen by the same 6th circle mage, Vermilion Ulsen.

However, one thing is certain.

It was that it was never something that a kid who had been in the 6th circle for a year or so could see.

‘Of course, I knew that the kid in front of me grew much faster than normal guys…’ But there

was only one case that could be guessed in this case, something beyond simple rapid growth.

That the kid in front of me had quite a few experiences like this. As a result, he has become accustomed to receiving and shedding momentum.

Baektapju also turned his head as if thinking the same thing.

Receiving that gaze, Daria shrugged her shoulders and shook her head.

‘Then really-.’

‘Through sparring with the beast king…’

Then.

King Alfonso Ratmos stepped in between them.

“Now, I think this is enough for the test, shouldn’t we return to the agenda?”

A truly timely intervention.

match-.

Accompanied by the sound of applause, Gillian Pulson sobbed and gathered his energy.

Hwaaak-.

Feeling the disappearance of dozens and hundreds of intangible spears aimed at him, Russell also recovered his magical power.

Hwaaak.

Is it because you answered it yourself?

The meeting after that went more smoothly than expected.

The reaction was mostly positive, probably because the parts I was worried about had faded a lot.

Of course, despite this, there was an opinion that a person should be periodically sent to the Kuril Islands to go through the verification and verification process.

that’s about what

‘If it’s like this, it won’t be long before I can give a positive answer to Muyaho-nim, right?’

Of course it will take some more time.

The country of Endymion was too large for such a vital matter to be decided in just one meeting.

The first meeting is over at the point where a big frame is established to some extent.

The king spoke in a solemn voice before dismissing the ministers attending the meeting.

“Before ending the meeting, I will first pay tribute to Count Russell Raymond here.”

Congratulation means giving an award by a superior as a token of gratitude for the achievements of a subordinate in the event of a personal reward or punishment.

A question popped into Russell’s mind as he sat down.

It was because of whether he had made any contributions recently.

I looked at Daria, my teacher, just in case, but she only had a meaningful smile.

As if answering Russell’s question, the King smiled softly.

“The first meeting is only over, but if the atmosphere in the future goes like today, then I will be able to embrace 200,000 beasts.”

Unless there was a special variable, it was virtually the same as a confirmed matter in nine out of ten.

In addition, 100,000 of them were more than trained regular soldiers, and their leader, the Beast King, had skills that could be counted among superhumans.

“How could I have had them if Count Raymond hadn’t stepped up?”

At the king’s words, Russell shook his head quietly.

“It was only by luck that I and the beast race came into contact. I didn’t mean to set the ball.”

“I knew you would say that, but-”

The king smiled.

“Even so, a ball is a ball.”

Then he opened his shoulders wide. He got up from his seat and looked around at the great and small gods and shouted.

“Listen Sir Russell Raymond, Earl of the country!”

A booming voice.

Russell got up from his seat and lowered his head. He got down on one knee politely.

Even though it was unintentional, it seemed that the king had already decided to give the prize.

furthermore.

‘I don’t know what it is, but there’s nothing wrong with accepting it.’

The king spoke in a solemn voice, looking at Russell, who had finished his posture and preparations.

“A sharp awl, even if left unattended, will tear through the pocket and come out. I have never seen a man more worthy of that proverb than Sir. I take this opportunity to give you the title Shinseonggong (晨星公), with the meaning of morning star!”

As if it wasn’t the end there, it continued without a break.

“Also conferring title to one of the Royal Vigo’s items. I hope you will continue to be a star that shines on your homeland, befitting the nickname Shin Sung. Jim looks at me that way.”

Before Russell could manage his surprise, he was told that he had ownership of one of Vigo’s belongings.

[After the meeting, follow me for a while. It’s the youngest]

Daria’s voice flowed into my ears.

[It looks like His Majesty has something to share with you.]

.

.

Following Daria’s guidance, Russell arrived at the reception room located in the heart of the palace.

“If you wait here, His Majesty will come soon.”

One of the few reception rooms.

Or a reception room of about a few pyeong prepared for conversation with a few people.

The reason she guided Russell here was simple.

It was for the king to change into a relatively simple outfit after the meeting.

After being guided by Russell, she immediately picked up the snacks prepared in the waiting room.

It was a snack with small pieces of chocolate embedded in chips made from flour dough.

crisp crisp.

“hmm. The royal sweets are special no matter when you eat them.”

Leaving behind the giggles that came from behind, Russell moved his eyes lightly.

Then, little by little, the appearance of the parlor comes into view.

It was a drawing room with a lofty yet graceful style that was not particularly revealing and did not lose its dignity and dignity.

Looking around the drawing room like that, Russell was quietly lost in thought.

‘Suddenly me at this point?’

Officially, the King and the Earl.

Personally, it was between father-in-law and son-in-law. It may have been called to have a private conversation, but there was also a possibility that it was not.

‘Is there a reason?’

After thinking about it alone and tilting his head several times, the king entered the parlor.

He looked back at Russell and Daria with a benevolent expression and said.

“haha. I don’t know if I made my lords wait too long.”

At his muttering, Daria smiled naturally and replied.

“It can’t be. I am having a very good time thanks to Your Majesty.”

With one hand, he was shaking a chocolate chip-studded snack.

Then it’s fortunate – muttering that, the king sat down.

After thinking about something hesitantly, he made a decision after a while and opened his mouth.

“Count Russell Raymond.”

“yes. your majesty.”

“It has already been more than half a year since I accepted you as a member of the royal family.”

“…?”

What is it that you are taking such a long time to say and that you are making rhymes?

The king’s words to the puzzled Russell were of a completely unexpected kind.

“Speaking of which, in private, I’m going to call you a son-in-law, not a count. What are your thoughts?”

Whose words would you say no to? After Russell agreed, the king gently rubbed his chest.

“It’s fortunate, but I’ve been thinking about what to do if I refuse.”

Laughing in vain, it seems that he sincerely thought so.

Looking at him, I also thought that he was quite a different person than when I faced him as a king and a servant.

Of course, neither side is awkward, so both sides must be true.

What followed immediately after was a series of incomparable conversations.

Most of the questions are focused on the relationship with Hecate, which is quite a conversation between a father-in-law and a son-in-law.

How long did these conversations go on?

Confirming that the teacup in front of the three was half exposed, the king corrected his posture and sat down.

“Actually, the reason I called the sutras here today is to tell my son-in-law two things.”

Not one, but two.

“One is a warning, the other is…a reward. If we are going to talk about rewards, we should eventually explain the warning first.”

At the word warning, Russell shook his head. I looked at the teacher with a curious look, but Daria only nodded once.

‘Did you already know?’

Meanwhile, the king hardened his face and spoke in a low voice.

“Uncle…so be careful of Archduke Bismarck and Blaine’s group.”

“…?”

The reason to be careful of the two was understandable to some extent.

Archduke Bismarck was a man who never gave up his greed for the throne, and Blaine was a faction of Archduke Bismarck.

Besides, didn’t he think that his teacher, Daria, had taken away the position of the head of the tower?

Of course, if he had become the owner of the pagoda, he would have been called the Tower of the King, not the Flame Tower.

Anyway.

“Yes.”

“May I ask why?”

The king nodded and began to explain with a sigh.

“After hearing the name ‘Raymond’ for the first time in a long time, I took a brief look at the family records.”

Not right away, but even until a few years ago, I used to hear the name Raymond from time to time.

“!?”

Russell’s eyebrows twitched when he said he had looked through the family records.

“In the process, I even checked the report on how the Raymond family’s estate was returned to the national treasury.”

『The Raymond family and ‘Russell Raymond’ don’t have enough energy left to manage the estate anymore.

The territory is retrieved as the national treasury.”

The memory of that time still remained as a painful memory for Russell.

Towards such Russell, the king threw a shocking word.

“To begin with, the report was fabricated.”
