I Am the Madman of This Family

Episode 47. I’m an official (1)

All the knights of the Vident family gathered.

Arvold whispered after hearing the full story of the incident from Zordic.

“It’s an opportunity. If you kill them all, you won’t have to pay 30,000 gold, and you can keep the secret about the Beasts.”

Zordic also nodded.

“I know. And he knows. I don’t know what the plan is.”

I don’t know Luke, but Keter is no fool.

A scammer among scammers. Even if the archery skill he briefly showed was poor, he was a dangerous guy with his volubility.

“No matter what the plan is, in the end you are an archer. You can’t beat us.”

“hmm.”

Zordyk does not disagree with that statement.

The spear is mightier than the bow! No, it is stronger than a sword. The strongest weapon in this world is by far the spear. Zordyk believed it without a doubt.

However, the awkwardness that settled on the other side of his chest made Zordyk hesitate.

‘That madman seemed to be better at martial arts than archery.’

There is no denying that taijutsu is also powerful at its extreme.

However, it was not felt that Keter had reached the extreme of taijutsu.

Keter’s taijutsu was not as sophisticated as the knight’s. It was crude and mean, like a mercenary without a base.

With such martial arts, can he compete with the spearmanship of the Vident family?

does not exist.

Let alone archery, such martial arts could never defeat Vident’s knight. It’s a natural fact that you don’t have to worry about deeply.

‘Did I underestimate you? Or did he lose his composure because he was blinded by greed?’

Zordic looked at Keter.

Keter was having a small talk with Luke. Like a leisurely picnic on a sunny day.

“Even if it’s not necessarily for money or secrets… He is the one I want to kill.”

Zordyk muttered without hiding his feelings. I didn’t ask anyone to listen, but Arvold agreed.

“There is no need for the captain to step forward. I will finish quickly.”

Arvold wanted to show a good side to Zordic, who was disappointed in him.

But Zordyk pointed to another knight.

“You, you go to the vanguard.”

The knight Zordic pointed out was the youngest knight who had recently joined the Silver Leopard Knights.

The youngest knight who was pointed out was surprised, but did not withdraw.

“Can I kill you?”

“Put your whole heart into it.”

It was an ambiguous answer, but I took it as meaning that I could kill the youngest knight.

“yes!”

The youngest knight gripped his spear and went out into the field with dignity.

“Prince Keter! we are ready You are an archer, so go first!”

Originally, Dalian is conducted facing each other.

However, if you fight like that, the archer is at a huge disadvantage. So, the youngest knight conceded the distance and the first attack to Keter under the belief that it was a fair party.

Keter, who was chatting with Luke, approached the youngest knight holding only a bow and arrow.

The youngest knight thought Keter was coming because he had something to say. If they had the intention of attacking, there was no way they would come so defenselessly.

‘… hmm.’

The youngest knight carefully watched Keter approaching him. I’ve already seen him at the town hall, but looking at it now, he looks like a no-nonsense person.

‘He’s tall, but his physique isn’t great.’

A well-dressed aristocrat might look like Confucius, but now he looks like a wealthy aristocrat who attracts women.

The corner of the mouth slightly raised over the far-sighted eyes. It may seem thoughtless, and it may seem pleasant.

A change came to the youngest knight’s mind when he learned about Keter. It was a very subtle change that I didn’t notice myself.

The tension eased, and the vigilance faded.

The hand holding the spear was also relieved.

He was already convinced. Keter is coming because she wants to talk to her. Soon, Keter came right in front of me.

“what are you saying… … .”

It was the moment the youngest knight opened his mouth.

Zordyk exclaimed urgently.

“Wake!”

But it was too late.

Faster than his shout, the moment the youngest knight was about to speak, Keter’s arrow had already pierced him deeply into his chest.

Poo-wook.

Arrows must be used with a bow.

Keter’s surprise attack broke that stereotype. The youngest knight realized that he had been attacked only when he could not breathe.

“Keep.”

Keter’s arrow pierced the youngest knight’s lung. It wasn’t a fatal wound that would cause instant death, but the battle couldn’t continue.

Keter grabs the hair of the youngest knight as he falls. His gaze turned to Zordic. Still with clear eyes and a subtle smile.

Seeing this, Arvold got angry thinking that they were laughing at him.

“You son of a b*tch!”

Arbold tried to step out, but Zordic blocked it with his arm.

“The preparations are over, and you said you were going to give up the first attack. It’s his fault.”

“Ha, but!”

“You caught me off guard. I thought he was a swindler, but he would risk his own life to cheat. That’s great, Keter.”

Zordic acknowledges Keter, but Arvold can’t go any further.

“But not twice. Lord Garuda.”

Bydent’s next batter stepped forward.

Keter stretched out her hand and said.

“for a moment. I have something to sell you.”

“If that’s the mark of the Moon Myo tribe, then just kill you and find it.”

“huh? It’s not? That’s what I’m selling.”

Keter said while holding the youngest knight’s neck inside the bowstring.

“How much would you like to buy it, sir?”

* * *

For those who live on a knife-bap, death is inseparable. This is especially true for knights belonging to a family, so they should never fear death.

“You mean to kill the knight of Vident?”

Arbold said with a strong will that he would not leave it alone.

Keter knows.

How much honor was valued by the race of knights, no, by the race of nobles.

And that honor, in the end, can be bought and sold with money.

“Three thousand gold.”

“… … !”

You shouldn’t let the other person say first how long it will take to save you. People who think they are special than others live and die in their pride.

“If you kill our knight, you will surely die too, Keter.”

“You’re thinking of killing me anyway. could it be better than that? He’ll die of excessive bleeding in the next two minutes.”

Keter’s words made Zordyk perplexed. Rather, if Keter had brutally killed the youngest knight, morale would have risen and a cause would have been formed.

However, after vaguely keeping him alive, he said that he would save them if he gave them money. The amount was neither too much nor too little.

It’s an honorable thing for a knight to die fighting…

‘You bastards, don’t look at me that way.’

Everyone knows.

A knight can die at any time. Everyone was prepared for that and became a knight.

But should it be now?

There is a way to live, but must die! If it’s 3,000 gold, isn’t it an amount that can’t be afforded!

Even though I am the youngest knight who was beaten by Keter without doing anything, the Silver Leopard Knights are an order of knights who operate in complete secrecy!

The youngest knight was a colleague, a friendly younger brother, and a fun friend to each of them. please don’t die

If you ignore their earnestness here, even Zordyk, who has won over the members with his charisma, will lose their trust.

“I will give you 3,000 gold. Come on, hand it over to us!”

“Uh huh, do you make a deal or two? Either pay it in cash right away, or you have to sign it.”

“I will sign. Give me the contract.”

“Add 1,000 gold to write the contract.”

“Bastard!”

Since the contract is a magic item, it is expensive, but it does not exceed 10 gold. It was strange that he didn’t swear after he hit it a hundred times over.

Because the life and death of the youngest knight and his own trust as the leader were at stake, Zordyk wrote a contract to pay Keter 1,000 gold, 3,000 gold for life, and 4,000 gold in total.

“Thank you for the cool deal.”

Having obtained the contract, Keter let go of the youngest knight and took five steps back.

The knight, Garuda, who ran to the youngest knight, saw the wound and bit his lower lip.

“Captain. This arrow is like a hook. The moment you pull it out, the flesh will come out and the bleeding will get worse.”

Almost all knights learn field medicine.

However, removing arrows, especially hooked arrows, is an advanced medical practice.

Even Zordyck hadn’t learned that. Because I don’t think I’ll get hit by an arrow in the first place.

Zordyk, who was struggling to keep his composure, did not hold back his anger this time.

“You meant to kill me anyway, Keter!”

They just sold their dead bodies.

At Zordic’s words, the eyes of the Vident Knights caught fire. On top of that, Kether uttered a statement that added fuel to the fire.

“I’m alive, why? It’s a problem with you guys who don’t have the skills to remove arrows.”

“Now it is. I can kill you with ease.”

Zordic chinned Garuda. Garuda was about to run towards Keter, even without Zordyk’s order.

“What are you doing? There is a doctor right in front of you. Even if you beg for help, it won’t be enough.”

“Don’t listen to that bastard’s bullsh*t anymore.”

“Two thousand gold to save. If you don’t want to believe it, don’t.”

Keter suddenly pours water on burning oil. Zordyk wanted to kill Keter quickly, no matter what.

But Garuda was not. He wished the youngest knight not to die even more than the other knights.

“Captain. Even if he drags it out, it’s only about a minute.”

Zordyk was frustrated by Garuda’s urging, not urging. If it weren’t for his subordinates, he would have told him not to talk bullsh*t.

“Give me the damn contract again.”

Zordyk paid another 3,000 gold like that.

Only then did Keter approach the youngest knight whom she had turned into a bouncer. Then he immediately thrust his hand into his chest.

“… … !?”

When I told him to save me, the eyes of the Vident Family knights couldn’t even get bigger at the action that seemed to kill them.

Keter, who put her hand in her chest and then withdrew her hand with the arrow, shook her hand and said.

“The operation is over. Rinse the affected area with water and wrap it with a bandage.”

“It’s shameless to pierce a bigger hole in a person’s body.”

“Look well.”

“I need to see… … ?!”

needed to see

The arrow was removed, and the bleeding stopped. The chest was sunken, but the hole was not pierced.

“What is this?”

“I saw the hand going in with my own eyes… … ?”

what the hell is your identity

Seeing the passionate gazes of the Knights of Vident, Keter grinned.

“Call me Sephira’s name.”

Even the world’s Kether cannot always fight unscathed.

The first thing Keter learned from liqueur was medicine.

In addition, Keter is a master of murder. He knows very well where and how to attack to kill a human being, and this knowledge and experience are also in line with the medicine that saves people.

Keter, who realized that the difference between killing and saving is in intention, not in action, could produce magical results with pure medicine alone.

For example, life can be saved, but various disabilities or sequelae can be left behind. Just like the youngest knight of Vident who healed me now.

Why would a knight of an enemy family be spared? Of course it made me sick.

The Vident family will consume a lot of manpower and money to rehabilitate the unwell knight.

Unaware of this fact, Zordyk opened his mouth, but then closed it.

He wanted to appease Kether. Zordyk, who longed for talented people, could accept any number of subordinates, even if the enemy was competent.

But I didn’t want to propose to Keter. It was because he was convinced that he would be in danger if he accepted him as a subordinate.

“You’ve made enough money to take to hell, Keter. Now the time is over.”

The youngest knight was taken by surprise in vain, but there was no follow-up.

That was Zordyk’s confidence, and Garuda, who would fight Keter, didn’t think he would lose.

Still, don’t be discouraged. I won’t give up the first ball like the youngest. I won’t even give you time to distance yourself.

Garuda immediately ran out and stabbed Kether with a long spear.

If you don’t know the concept of spearmanship, this thrust, which triples the attack distance in an instant, is inevitable.

Furthermore, the Vident family’s cross spears were not specialized only for stabbing. It has superior variable creation ability and killing power than existing spears.

The thrust this time is also not the main body. The follow-up after that is real. The moment you dodge, the onslaught begins.

However, something unbelievable happened.

Keter, on the contrary, advanced.

Like someone who wants to be stabbed by a spear.

Luke, who was watching from the sidelines, felt like his heart would explode. From the angle he saw it, it looked as if the spear had pierced Keter’s body.

‘no… … !’

But that was an illusion.

The spear did pass through Kether.

However, it did not penetrate the body.

Keter dodged the spear between her sides and clamped it with her armpits. The long spearhead was gripped tightly by Keter.

As long as Garuda normally holds the spear with both hands, he will not lose in a power struggle.

But now, Garuda was holding the tip of the spear with one hand. This is because he used a one-handed gripping technique to use an irregular stabbing technique.

However, Garuda was definitely different from the youngest knight who was attacked by surprise. Calmly changing his gripping method, he grabbed the spear with both hands and engaged in a power struggle.

All his nerves were buried in fighting over the spear.

As a result, I missed it.

Keter shooting arrows.

The trajectory of the arrow flying toward him.

The head usually reacts first. After thinking that the flying arrow should be avoided, it is transmitted to the body to move the body.

Unfortunately, it was faster than the speed at which commands from the head were transmitted to the feet.

Keter’s arrow is a horse.
