EPISODE.46
Was it to match the entry time of the two?
After circling the royal capital several times, the carriage arrived at the palace more than thirty minutes later.
chuck-.
After getting off the carriage and following the guidance of the attendant, Russell arrived at the banquet hall and stopped walking.
“after.”
I took a deep breath and looked back at my clothes.
“I will relax.”
Hubert tapped Russell on the shoulder a couple of times.
Then, the attendant who had been guiding the two looked back at them and asked.
“Are you two ready?”
“Of course.”
“-yes. Ready.”
Russell responded half a beat late, feeling that the tension he had cast over himself was fading.
Tak Tak – Tak.
After both agree, the attendant knocks on the door several times with the back of his hand.
A light touch was the signal.
Dung- Dung- Dung-.
The sound of drums rang out.
It was loud enough to be heard from outside the door beyond the banquet hall.
There was no way the people in the banquet hall could not have heard this sound.
rattle-.
The banquet hall door opened and a loud cry burst out. It was a cry to announce the position of both Russell and Hubert.
“Sir Russell, the youngest 5th Circle mage in the history of the Flame Tower and who has made a revolutionary contribution to this victory, enters!”
“Sir Hubert, the 6th Circle mage belonging to the Flame Tower, is entering!”
Everyone inside turned their heads at the shout that rang through the hall.
All eyes were on the two of them.
“That young man is…”
“Is it the new supernova of the Raymond family?”
“Um, I heard that you are around 20 years old, but you are young as rumors say.”
Several nobles were agitated by Russell’s appearance.
The friendly game that became a hot topic in the royal capital and the government meeting the day before. They were aristocrats who had heard of Russell only through rumors, despite having had several opportunities.
There were also a few people who paid attention to Hubert’s introduction that followed.
“After being stuck in the 5th circle for over a few years, did you eventually cross the wall?”
“Circle 6- The Tower of Flames has a new tower owner-level wizard.”
They were wizards who had heard rumors about Hubert from long ago.
“With this, there are only three Tower Master level wizards in the Flame Tower.”
“If the talent he has shown so far is real, that young man will also be in the 6th circle within 10 years…”
A few old nobles trembled as if struck by lightning at one word someone muttered without much thought.
Noble or not.
They are the ones who have survived for a long time in the political arena called Wangdo.
They had no choice but to be sensitive to the flow of power in any way.
And their experience and intuition were shouting.
‘Do you mean there are only four wizards of the level of the owner of the tower in the salt tower ten years from now?’
‘As long as there is no change in name or reality, the best magic tower in this era will be the Flame Tower.’
‘If you look at his age and future prospects, even if it’s early in the next generation, the owner of the pagoda in two generations will be that young man.’
-Now, a young man named Russell has truly become the nucleus of a storm.
A few quick-witted nobles swallowed their saliva.
Some of them even whispered something in their ears to the daughters-in-law or granddaughters of the family who came with them.
thud thud-.
Receiving their gaze, Russell moved slowly.
We headed towards the center of the banquet hall.
As I walked, the thought that came to my mind was, ‘It’s more tolerable than I thought?’
I thought my face would definitely burn.
‘Is this correct?’
On the contrary, it was to the point where I was surprised by the calmness of myself rather than the hot eyes.
It has to be.
Because it was Russell who had already received the status of a sword master called ‘McRae Hughes’.
To him, the eyes of nobles were no longer something to be taken seriously.
Of course, if the number increased by several times, the story would be a little different.
“Look here-.”
“Let’s talk for a while…”
“I belong to Count Blueen’s family…”
A few of the aristocrats moved quickly. As if to surround Russell, he came towards him.
From the point of view of the great nobility, it would not be ‘noble-like’, but for them, it was an opportunity to approach the center of power.
but.
“Did you come?”
One step quickly blocked their movement.
An appearance reminiscent of a burning white flame and a voice imbued with powerful power.
It was Daria Snowwhite.
“Master.”
When the two opened their mouths at the same time, Daria giggled and nodded.
“I knew at least that the youngest was well-groomed, but…”
He looked at Russell and Hubert alternately with meaningful eyes and said.
“You look pretty good too.”
“Is that so?”
“okay. The belly fat protruding out of the tailcoat is gone. Did you secretly exercise?”
“yes.”
At the teacher’s words, Hubert smiled bitterly and nodded.
“I was kind of inspired by what the priest does.”
It was a workout that started after talking with Russell at the academy the day before, but now it seems to be showing a little bit.
“Good job. Just because you’re a wizard, you don’t have to hold on to the book and smell the ink. Even more so for a War Mage like us.”
It wouldn’t be bad to learn taijutsu or close combat techniques such as Kowongak.
Daria advised so and then.
chuck-.
“Is this friend the giraffe?”
A huge shadow fell on the three of them. It was large enough to half-block the light from the chandelier hanging high above the banquet hall.
Russell made a stunned expression at the sudden appearance of the giant.
It is so huge that it is difficult to distinguish whether it is a bear or a human.
With a body and muscles of this size, even ‘Vermillion’ would be able to fold.
What dwells within such a gigantic figure is a gigantic martial that is about to explode at any moment.
‘Even if you take it at least, it’s a strong man comparable to McRae Hughes-!’
All the senses in my body set off alarm bells at the conviction that I had only intuition.
There was only one person who was not a magician and possessed such power in the royal capital.
A superhuman level Aura practitioner who knows how to handle eighteen types of weapons, not just one sword.
Weapon Master-.
“…Sir Gillian Person.”
At Russell’s murmur, he smiled, showing white teeth.
“I’m glad you know me. The story will be comfortable.”
Daria giggled as she patted Gillian on the stomach.
“Oh my gosh. With that big size, even goblins passing by will recognize you.”
Gillian shrugged as it wasn’t particularly wrong.
He glanced under his nose with an embarrassed expression.
Daria’s behavior could have been rude at first glance, but not caring about it must mean that this kind of relationship is used between the two of them.
“My name is Russell Raymond. I could never have thought that the Weapon Master would find me first.”
After clearing up the commotion, Russell greeted him, and Gillian gave a friendly smile.
“This is Gillian Person. There is a rumored young man. And…”
He continued, sweeping Russell’s entire body as if in search.
“More than anything, I really wanted to see a young friend who showed a hot taste to McRae Hughes.”
It was a reaction I had never experienced before. Recalling the days of Nicolo, Russell asked cautiously.
“Have you had anything to do with McRae Hughes?”
“huh?”
Russell’s question widened his eyes. Then he shrugged and replied.
“No way.”
“Then why…?”
“just.”
“?”
“I didn’t like what I was doing in the past. Of course, I don’t know how many of the Empire’s bastards I like…”
He licked his lips and furrowed his brows.
“That bastard McRae Hughes, from himself to his pupil. All were all like a fucking baby. ”
This time, on the contrary, Russell’s eyes widened. I was wondering if what I just heard was correct.
‘What is it like?’
The same is true of Russell, who is familiar with swear words thanks to his life as a mercenary, which was worn out before returning.
However, at the grand banquet in the royal palace, I never thought I would hear such naked expressions.
Daria giggled as if she were feeling refreshed.
“More than that-.”
Gillian, who was giggling together, suddenly changed his gaze. I muttered, examining every detail of Russell’s body once again.
“I heard that you are a wizard, but are you practicing spearmanship? The basic muscles are built quite well.”
He said that he had mastered eighteen types of weaponry, but he would recognize that he was learning spearmanship just by the way his muscles developed.
‘Are these the eyes of a warrior?’
Inwardly admiring that keen eye, Russell replied.
“yes. Of course, it is only at the level of learning the basic spearmanship over and over again, but for now, it is.”
“There is nothing wrong with being basic. You can’t build a castle on sand, can you?”
He exhaled and added.
“If it’s still not enough, come visit me sometime. Your master…”
He added, glancing at Daria’s eyes.
“…If you allow me, I will give you guidance from time to time.”
“Are you covetous of someone else’s disciple?”
puck puck-.
“It’s not coveting disciples, it’s guidance. G.Do.Pyeon.Moon.”
“That’s it.”
With a snort, she turned to Russell and said.
“He’s unreliable compared to his size, but if you’re willing to learn, I’ll teach you to a level where you can use it.”
Daria is probably the only one who can say that the Weapon Master’s guidance is at an acceptable level.
In fact, it was as if the teacher’s permission had been denied, so Russell moved his gaze.
I asked again as if to confirm.
“Is that true?”
“of course.”
Nodding his head, he unwrapped the thick gold ring from his hand and handed it to Russell.
“If you need proof, use this.”
A total of 18 types of weapons were engraved along the ring’s appearance, and it was the same as his symbol.
It is something that cannot be handed over unless it is a sincere offer.
“Why?”
“…huh?”
“May I ask what made you decide to teach me spearmanship?”
“hmm.”
He scratched his chin at Russell’s question.
“well?”
He muttered as if it was no big deal.
“You say you’re going to give fertilizer to a tree that is likely to grow, but does that require a grandiose reason?”
“ah.”
It was a word that allowed us to guess the human figure of Gillian Pulson.
‘A savage wearing the mask of an aristocrat and a heavenly warrior.’
Whether you know what Russell thinks or not -.
“Then let’s end today’s meeting here.”
Gillian chuckled and patted Russell on the shoulder.
“Even if it’s not me, there seem to be many people waiting for you.”
He turned around, sweeping away the nobles and their ladies who were casting meaningful glances at Russell.
“This is why being popular is tiring. Even when I was young, young girls here and there…” He
said, “It was in my time!” and walked away from him, a boring old man you can often see in the neighborhood.
It was itself.
