Episode 31

Julius, as the second son of the family ruling the city, left the mansion with Lenia to inspect the festival.

The festival was no different from what he remembered in modern times.

I hear the laughter of children. Residents enjoy the joy of the harvest and share wine.

The sound of bargaining from merchants from various places filled the streets, and items that were not available in modern times were lined up on the streets.

Although he did not have the splendor he had seen in modern times, his characteristic liveliness and fuss did not fall behind the modern times he lived in.

Fun and fun atmosphere.

His footsteps became lighter, and he walked the streets of the city in full swing.

“Master, how about dying now? The wind is cold.”

“The time has already come.”

The festival was no problem.

Maybe it was because there were more soldiers patrolling than usual, or even if there was a drunken riot, it was rare for it to spread significantly.

“Slowly, I will do that.”

Julius looked at the street mixed with the remnants of various civilizations and nodded at Reina’s words.

As he was returning to the mansion, a doll the size of a small moon ran towards him.

puck-

When Julius lowered his head, a child who must have been about ten years old was lying in front of him. He instinctively used rainbow magic eyes.

‘Indigo.’

tt, it’s useless

Julius acted outwardly, no matter how he felt, and held out his hand.

“Are you okay? So be careful. If you’re running around for a festival… .”

“Hey, you bastard!”

For a moment, the smiling face almost broke. what? The child’s voice was a little loud, so I could feel the attention of passersby around me.

“Dad! Because of you! I died because of you!”

The child shouts.

– Are you the second Confucius? He said he changed again… .

-a… . Do people change in an instant? I’ve been patient so far. I’m back again.

-Isn’t that fake? You have to be bluffing enough, right?

-what? this cub

Julius grew annoyed at the gossip he heard around him.

‘What else is this time? under.’

I sighed inwardly. I was used to this situation. It’s already happened a few times.

No matter how much they shouted that they had changed, there were always those who did not believe it. That’s why Julius didn’t panic.

On the contrary, he answered with a friendly smile that he had practiced.

“What have I done to make you a bad guy?”

This time, we’ll just have to deal with it as usual.

“Can you tell me what is going on? If what you say is true, don’t apologize directly. Even if you make a mistake, I will not punish you.”

When you look down at the child with a slightly sober face, you can feel the gaze of the people around you changing.

– Look, am I right? If it had been any other noble, I would have executed him.

– Wasn’t that crazy? Quite different from the rumors… .

When Julius knelt down on one knee and made eye contact with the child, the atmosphere began to reverse.

The boy looked bewildered, as if he didn’t know how to do that, then clenched his teeth and shouted louder.

As if there was nothing he could do but that.

“My dad! My dad is because of you! dead!”

“I will check it myself. Let the soldiers investigate for sure… .”

If the original owner of the body has done something, it is something that should be compensated, and even if it is a lie, you can show generosity by forgiving the child.

‘If you think about it, it’s not bad.’

As he continued his conversation with that thought in mind, several more shabby-clad men ran around him and surrounded him.

“Because of Confucius, our daughter died… . Heh heh, but why, why… .”

“You bastard! Your son’s arm has become a rag because of you!”

“My mother died because of you! If it wasn’t for the master, if not… !”

Julius felt confused by the sudden progress.

“No, what is this… .”

Where did these guys come from?

Looking back at Reina’s face, she shook her head as if she didn’t know. He opened his mouth, suppressing the irritability and annoyance that built up.

“If it’s really my fault, I sincerely apologize… .”

But before Julius could finish speaking, the soldiers appeared.

‘Don’t you notice?’

Julius was interrupted several times, making it uncomfortable to plant, but he could not reveal it.

Since it is a festival, more people than usual are watching the boat.

It was at this point that the stigma of being a maniac was barely peeling off.

In my heart, I wanted to take a picture and press it with authority.

However, more people than usual are watching the boat. Things weren’t right for me to act on my own.

“Confucius, are you okay?”

The soldiers seemed to run after seeing the commotion.

“These guys! I will not forgive you for telling a lie in front of Confucius!”

The soldier glanced at Julius and raised his voice.

They recently threatened to drag them away to catch his eye on raising their name.

Before Julius even opened his mouth to act against their will, there were those who intervened first.

“Stop!”

Inconsistent attire and equipment that is central heating.

They were mercenaries who boasted a harsh impression.

“no… !”

They shouted loudly, as if they would not let Julius open his mouth.

“Where are you persecuting the weak?”

It’s like everyone else is listening.

“You just have to get your name right once!”

As they shouted in, the villagers, who were threatened by the soldiers as if they had promised, hid behind the mercenaries.

“I have to be patient because I just want to watch. From now on, we will protect them from our Rebek mercenaries!”

The soldiers were slow to react to the sudden intrusion of the mercenaries, and without even moving, the two groups were confronted.

“No, wait. who are you… .”

When he was about to shout, feeling displeased with the unruly situation, there was a hand on his shoulder first.

“Reina.”

“… Take a look around.”

As she spread the sympathy according to her words, I could feel more and more people flocking to this place.

“Chew… .”

It’s already too late to settle things quietly with myths.

“First of all, how about calming the fuss first?”

“… That would be nice.”

Julius looked at them with his magic eyes before turning away.

Indigo, indigo, purple, indigo, blue.

‘It’s garbage that doesn’t even help.’

I took a step back where I had stopped.

“Oh Mr-”

“Manna-”

“Leave this-”

Behind him, he heard resentment against him and the mercenaries shouting triumphantly.

‘I don’t think it’s a coincidence… .’

His eyes turned cold as he headed towards the mansion.

“Haha, come in. Prince Allen. Thank you very much.”

“No, I was able to hear the information thanks to Sang-Joo.”

The top lord, who Allen had saved, bowed his head sincerely. The mercenaries beside him only glanced around, but no one spoke to him.

Even if they were in the same position as themselves, the deficit of the family that ruled this land, the meaning did not fade.

“By the way, Confucius, is there anything else you need? If you just tell me… .”

“No, that’s fine.”

Allen shook his head. However, Sangju Sang-joo persistently opened his mouth once more, as if he could not miss this opportunity.

“Don’t do that, Confucius… .”

“I don’t need anything more.”

“I wonder if this Lineb jewel… .”

The merchant bit his lip in a hurry and grabbed Allen’s shoulder, who was walking ahead.

When Allen stroked his hand with cold eyes, Sang-Joo realized that he had crossed the line only then.

Even high-ranking mercenaries did not have the money to get them, so they almost fell victim to a swarm of bandits.

So, I was blinded by the thought that if I did well, I could do good to the nobles.

He immediately bowed his head.

“Sorry, I’m sorry. Confucius. I was very rude. I hope you will forgive me just once.”

Allen paused for a moment and did not answer. The merchant’s expression darkened.

Allen opened his mouth only when the merchant’s expression got worse.

“Karik upper share.”

“Yes, tell me. Confucius.”

“It is natural for a merchant to try to seize his opportunity. But don’t you think it’s too greedy?”

Allen saved them from thieves, and they gave Allen clothes and information. Their deal seems to have already ended there.

“Yes, yes.”

What the merchant was thinking, as if his stomach was burning, his expression had changed.

After seeing the merchant’s expression, Allen waved a suitable carrot in front of him.

“Still, I got a little help… .”

A book with a red cover flashed in Allen’s mind.

‘It wouldn’t be a bad idea to make a top and a line at this point.’

There was someone to find among the merchants. The top where he saved the Devil’s Book before returning.

I don’t know if you still have the book, but… .

‘I’ll have to check it out.’

The top is small, but it will be enough to use to make contact points naturally.

Allen replied calmly.

“Give me a letter of recommendation. If you have this, you will be able to pass the checkpoint of the territory a little easier.”

The boss raised his head with a surprised face. But Allen didn’t care what he reacted to or not.

As if using good will, as if forgiving his mistake.

“I won’t write my name down, but a letter of recommendation with the family seal will make it easier to do business in this estate in the future.”

Usually elves and dwarfs can receive letters of recommendation without any restrictions. However, in the case of humans, it cannot be received unless it is directly verified by the nobility of the territory.

Sang-ju Sang-ju smiled brightly with a face raised from the abyss in an instant, and bowed his waist as if it was touching the ground.

A letter of recommendation was an opportunity for him to broaden his feet, for him, who runs a small business that is so small that Sang Sang-joo directly goes up and down.

“thank you. Confucius!”

As Allen muttered, Karik lowered his head as if to listen.

“I want you to open your face with the top I’m talking about.”

“Are you talking about the place Confucius is talking about? ?”

“Why are you dissatisfied?”

Like a merchant, Karik instinctively calculated the gains and losses.

If there is a letter of recommendation, it will be easier to do business in the counties in the future. And if the price is just to do Confucius’ small favor… .

‘Worth it. No, you must hold on to it.’

Even as Karik came to that conclusion, he left a little bit of room just in case.

“Oh, no. Just how long will it take… .”

Allen replied with a small smile, as if he had nothing to do with his scales.

“If you succeed in arranging a place within a month, you will have little trouble in the Countess in the future.”

To put it simply, you want to be the back boat.

It was an oral promise without a written word, but Karik believed him. Even if he doesn’t believe him, he can buy Allen’s favor, so he’s to his advantage.

“I will definitely make a meeting within a month.”

“I believe.”

Allen turned around.

He recalled the rumors he had heard on the way back to El Round from Sangju Sangju.

‘Julius is dueling with the mercenaries, D.’

Allen answered with a small wave of his hand, and began to walk towards the mansion.

After a certain distance, her voice, inaudible to other people, echoed in her head.

“Why did you just do that? At the end of the day, you could have avoided that, right?”

Allen answered her question with a small smile.

“I can give you any letters of recommendation. But if I had given it right away, what would be the reaction?”

“Well, it must have been a natural favor, right?”

right. He seemed desperate to do good to himself.

“Yeah, I guess I got a count for giving me clothes and giving me information. But how was it just now?”

“Happy, ah”

Bestla shook her sword slightly as if she understood, and replied in a tone of tiredness.

“Aren’t you too sneaky?”

As a nobleman, it wasn’t difficult to do a little favor.

However, it can have various effects depending on how the opponent accepts it.

What if I just gave out a letter of recommendation?

He will feel joy for a moment, and the feeling will fade over time.

But by waiting for him to make a mistake, you can then gain an edge in your mind with him.

His memory will remain stronger and longer.

In addition to that, I was able to get a few things done with just one verbal promise, so it was an act I could afford.

“No, it’s the basis for gaining an edge in a relationship. tolerance. When you rule a person, you have to be able to control every action and every reaction of the other person.”

It is the nobles who have learned that way and are forced to live that way.

The lighter the favor of the nobility, the greater the price.

“You are very difficult to buy.”

“Is that a compliment?”

While chatting like that, Allen stopped walking towards the mansion. He tapped her handle twice, and she bit her mouth.

It was a signal he and she made.

If you are talking to someone else, the conversation might get mixed up.

“Prince Allen!”

Raising his head, he saw Enelia and Linbell running towards him. They sent someone ahead of time at the checkpoint, and it seems that the news has already been delivered.

They had completed their education well during his absence, and their posture was not disturbed while running.

I don’t know how it feels.

moved a step

“I’m glad you seem to be doing well.”

Now is the time to get busy again.
