My Lucky Encounter From the Game Turned Into Reality - Chapter 72
The talent in the game turns into reality Episode 72
21. Saint Contest (3)
She is so handsome that everyone, both men and women, can admire her.
Looking at Adrian’s youthful, youthful appearance, it was hard to believe that he was a high-ranking nobleman with the rank of marquis.
But his status cannot be questioned.
At least among the people of the Kingdom of Reinharts, there was no one who did not know Marquis Adrian Lawrence.
Isn’t he the most famous and hot person in the world right now?
He is an archmage who killed his enemy half-brother and his mother, exploded the Margrave’s main army, destroyed four lords’ families, and even defeated an Auror Master-level Vanguard.
All of this happened in just two months, so I couldn’t ignore it just because I was young.
No, rather, he can be said to be the most fearsome nobleman who should never be hated.
“My lord?”
Ivril and her parents and relatives looked dumbfounded as they had never thought that such a person would come directly to such an insignificant place.
“I see you, my lord.”
Starting with Ivril, who came to her senses belatedly, all of the family members bowed their heads.
“That’s it.”
However, when Adrian flicked his hand as if he was annoyed, everyone was forced to stand up as if their bodies were being pulled.
None of the relatives who had been acting proud until now could look at Adrian directly.
The person in front of me had a status that I could not even dare to look at, and killing a commoner with a single word was not an easy task.
Moreover, the lines he spoke when he appeared contained criticism towards them, so they had to keep their mouths shut.
However, Adrian seemed very interested in Ivril’s relatives.
“Do you know what is good about becoming a great nobleman?”
Adrian approached Ivril’s uncle and asked an unexpected question.
Ivril’s uncle rolled his eyes eagerly and quickly knelt down on the floor.
“I’m so sorry. “How can an insignificant being know the will of the High One?”
It was a servile appearance that contrasted with the stiff force being applied to the neck just a moment ago.
But unfortunately, such flattery did not work on Adrian.
“It means I can dispose of trash like you as I please.”
“Oops!”
And Adrian grabbed his uncle by the collar.
A power that was unbelievable that he was a wizard could be felt in Adrian’s grasp, and his uncle was lifted up in the air helplessly.
Ivril’s uncle was finally able to look at Adrian face to face, and his terrifying eyes, which even felt like madness, pierced through his whole body.
The gaze of a predator seeing it for the first time.
My uncle was so frightened that he fell down like an aspen tree.
Adrian threw him like he was throwing away trash, and the force of the throw sent his uncle flying and landing on one of the walls.
“You come here.”
“Yes, me?”
“uh.”
Ivril’s uncle, named after his uncle.
He slowly approached Adrian, looking frightened.
-Quaaang!
“Oops!”
I was thrown into the seat next to my uncle.
It was thrown so hard that one wall of the old house was cracked ugly.
When the two people who were pressuring Ivril’s family fell to the floor and moaned, the relatives all knelt down and asked for forgiveness.
“Do you know what you did wrong and ask for forgiveness?”
“They were blinded by money and made their lives difficult…”
But their answers were not satisfactory.
“No, that’s not your fault.”
“yes?”
“How dare you harm my people. “Isn’t this a declaration of war against me?”
A declaration of war against the Marquis Adrian Lawrence?
Ivril’s relatives, who had never thought that their actions would be interpreted in this way, became thoughtful.
“How dare lowly things like us?”
However, Adrian said there was nothing to listen to and gave instructions to Ivril’s guards.
“Arrest them all.”
“yes! “My lord!”
And as if he didn’t want to hear anything, he blocked the mouths of his relatives with silent magic and expelled them from Ivril’s house.
“I heard it all against my will. “We will make sure that the debt they owe to Ms. Ivril’s family is repaid through forced labor, compensation for psychological damage, and even interest.”
“Thank you.”
Ivril’s parents stiffened and looked apologetic at the appearance of the great nobleman they had only seen on TV.
Adrian smiled kindly and personally helped the two people up.
“You two, please come into the castle. “Why not enjoy the luxury of having a good daughter?”
“yes? But…”
“That’s for Miss Ivril.”
“If the lord says so.”
As Ivril’s relatives were tied up like sausages and dragged away, there was no longer any discomfort in this space.
Adrian smiled at Ivril and extended his thumbs. She was looking at him with a blank expression, her face turned bright red and she lowered her head.
“I can’t believe the lord would stop by such a shabby place…”
“Ah, I have some business to attend to.”
Adrian’s appearance as he looked around while saying that seemed stiff for some reason.
But that serious look only made the adolescent girl look even cooler.
Not only did it change his life, but it also neatly resolved a problem that had been bothering his family for a long time.
Adrian was her benefactor and guide in life, so it was natural for her to have feelings for her.
And her fondness for him awakened a small change in Ivril’s heart.
I want to become someone who can be more helpful to Adrian.
Even if she, a minor, expressed interest in Adrian, who has a strong personality, she would be embarrassed, saying it would be difficult to do so.
However, it would be possible to help him as a helper.
What if you give and receive help like that for 5 to 10 years?
‘good.’
It was a moment when Ivril, who had only been following the flow until now, gained motivation.

[Be careful. The movements of the Duke Francis family are unusual.]
That was a message delivered by Duke Olivia Riverdale, the highest noblewoman of the Kingdom of Lucias.
Unlike Nawan, whose intelligence department had not yet taken root in Korea, she had very strong intelligence power as the owner of a world-class magic tower.
The reason she handed over information about the Duke Francis family was because we were currently in a temporary alliance for the saintess contest.
In other words, the movements of the Duke Francis family are related to the sainthood contest.
It can be seen that Duke Prince Francis has begun an operation to make his third daughter, Evelyn Francis, a saint.
The problem is that we cannot know how those with great power will respond.
‘What is an effective blow that can be given to us in the current situation?’
In a larger context, three cases can be considered.
1. Severing my connection with the Dukes of Riverdale.
2. Attacking myself
3. Attacking Ivril.
Of these, I think the simplest and most effective means is to attack Ivril.
He could tarnish Ivril’s reputation by creating a scandal, he could threaten her family, or he could launch a direct attack against her.
These are all cases that cannot be ignored, but without a doubt, this is the one that has the greatest impact.
‘Direct attack on Ivril.’
To be more precise, it should be seen as her assassination.
So I worked hard to prevent variables.
The number of security personnel in the castle was doubled, and the work system of employees was changed to two-person teams, as well as strict surveillance by security guards to ensure that no one could leave their assigned work location.
In addition, transformation magic detection artifacts were placed throughout the castle and six sky fortresses were placed around the castle to effectively defend against intruders.
Above all, I had a secret that no one else had….
[Titos Barnett]

[Loka Atman]
Affiliation: Commoner, Marquis Lawrence, Rheinharts Kingdom / Francis A minion of the Ministry of Information
, that is the existence of Mangyeong.
While secretly escorting Ivril, I realized that her uncle and uncle were underlings of Francis’s intelligence department and looked around carefully.
But was the purpose simply exploration?
I couldn’t find anyone else related to Duke Francis around.
I had to drag them in and ask for more details, but there was one thing I could harvest.
That was when we learned for sure that Duke Francis’ target was Ivril.
‘I don’t know how they will attack you, but you picked the wrong opponent.’
I am probably the most difficult person to manipulate in the entire world.
Because of this, I became more curious.
What kind of tricks would a person like the duke of a great empire be capable of?

[The war between the Brigham Empire and the Republic of Prius appears to be back on track.]
[The first collision between the two armies occurred at 1 PM today on the sea of ice. Initially, the Republic of Prius showed confidence in its opposition to the Bringham Empire, but when the war began, it was pushed back unilaterally and eventually allowed the Bringham Empire to land.] [In this war, the Bringham Empire deployed a new weapon called the Trident for the first time
. A trident is a combination of three sky fortresses….]
There are three types of service for knights who usually guard nobles’ lordly castles.
One is guard duty, chasing down nobles and providing close security.
The other is guard duty, where you work while standing at a designated work location.
The last one was a standby shift where drivers could be dispatched at any time.
The standby team usually consists of 20 people working in shifts for 12 hours each, and although they have to stand by armed, they are able to provide quite a bit of leeway compared to the previous two security types because they only have to be dispatched in a timely manner when a problem arises.
Some people watched broadcasts and others played games on terminals.
There were even people taking a nap while armed, and even though there seemed to be no tension, they tended to tolerate this as long as they didn’t make any major mistakes.
-Emergency dispatch waiting room of the Marquis Lawrence’s castle.
“I heard that working on the Marquis Lawrence’s standby team is comfortable.”
“Of course, if the lord is strong, there is more room for guard duty.”
“That’s right. Even if an assassin breaks in, he would have to be an Auror Master to cause damage, so who would come in?”
The Marquis of Lawrence has been strengthening security duties in recent years, but Adrian has taken the approach of deploying more manpower rather than squeezing the existing number of workers, so the burden on the knights was not that severe.
“The lord of the barony I previously worked for was a private moneylender, and he had so many enemies that the on-call work was very difficult. Compared to that, this place is heaven. “Everything is new, and the lord is young, so we can communicate well.”
“You definitely have a different way of thinking than other nobles. “If other nobles set the goal of strengthening security, they would increase working hours and deploy knights, but our lord only increases the number of troops deployed and strictly adheres to the working hours specified in the contract.”
“that’s right. After all, not everyone is self-made.”
Although Adrian was a person who valued principles, he had a very high reputation among his subordinates.
The reason is because I felt that he cared for his subordinates down to every little detail.
Compared to working under people who thought, ‘I pay money, so it’s natural for my subordinates to follow orders,’ the satisfaction was definitely higher.
“The other day, Sir Damian was so moved that he cried while eating.”
“that’s right. “The food here is really good.”
“Hey Sir Damian. “Do you still cry while eating these days?”
“ha ha ha! “Sir Damian, you’ve been made fun of for the rest of your life.”
When everyone took the time to praise Adrian.
Despite repeated calls from his colleagues, the driver, Damien, kept his head down and did not move a muscle.
I thought my colleagues were like that because they were embarrassed.
“Was this prank too bad? Sir Damian? “Are you offended?”
A knight approaches him and places his hand on his shoulder.
“Oh, I’m sorry. Sir Damian, did you mean me?”
Knight Damian raised his head and said something unintelligible.
