Episode 49

– Confucius Allen! thank you!

– Curse Liberator! Witch Slayer!!

-Waa!!!

Allen and his party were baptized with countless flowers falling towards the carriage and were able to leave Bergen.

Now that winter is coming, where did you get so many flowers? The sight of the wind of flowers wrapping around the carriage made me feel as if I had greeted spring in an instant.

In the center of the people who saw him off, Soned and Karik were laughing at each other as if the operation had succeeded.

Pisik-

Allen walked out the front door of Bergen with a pleasant reception of the luxurious reception.

Karik said that he would stay in the city until this year, so the number of people returning was reduced by one.

Instead, there was a box in the corner of the carriage with tea leaves filled with Sonned.

“Hehe-.”

When he turned his head to the sound of laughter that seemed to be muffled in a good mood, Linbell was smiling brightly while holding a sword stuck in its black sheath.

“Is it that good?”

She answered with a broad smile.

“Because with this, it can no longer be a burden!”

Allen looked at the undecorated long sword in her arms.

It was named ‘pure black’ because it was black without a single speck.

‘It’s a sword that quickly blooms the talent designated by the owner… .’

Because the Dyke top had grown into the huge top that Allen remembered, I didn’t have much expectation even when it was said that rare items were kept separately.

So when I heard the description of this sword, I couldn’t help but be surprised.

‘If it really has such an effect, it must be something that can receive a high price even in the royal capital’s auction.’

However, when I listened closely, I could see why it was still embedded in the report.

Because the conditions for using this item were difficult.

The first is that the talent designated by the owner is really the talent that the owner has.

In the first place, how much would it be to say that it is a talent that can bloom with a sword?

Magic, Prana, Swordsmanship, Martial Arts, etc. must be focused on the battle series.

However, the owner has designated a talent for ‘swordsmanship’, but there is no talent for it?

If so, the owner has to waste time without even realizing that the talent is not blooming.

Even if you practice wielding a white sword, you can’t grow at all if you don’t have talent.

For that reason, it is said that even those who bought it because they thought they had a special talent often returned it after a few weeks.

‘Even if you have talent.’

The second condition was also ambiguous.

To develop a talent, a lot of time had to be devoted to the talent designated by the owner.

In other words, you need to save time to sleep and work hard.

The irony is that no matter how talented a person is, if they work day and night, their skills will improve. If you have talent, you will grow even faster.

So it is impossible to know whether the sword is effective or not.

In the first place, the reference point regarding the presence or absence of talent and the total amount was also vague, so if it was natural, it would be a natural result.

For this reason, the sword, which received a lot of attention even when it was excavated, went through several paths and flowed to the top of the dyke.

So, even when Allen chose this sword, Sonned showed displeasure and recommended another item.

But Allen stubbornly insisted on this sword.

Because I was sure.

‘With this, Linbell can definitely grow.’

I am convinced that I can raise Linbell’s power.

Allen knew what talent she had, and how hard she worked out of sight.

So, without hesitation, I chose the sword.

Sonned accepted Allen as if he had no choice but to change his choice.

‘I think I’ve been doing too much lately… .’

Allen looked at Linbell with a worried face for a moment. She didn’t let go of her obsession, stroking her elongated scabbard with her young eyes.

“Isn’t it uncomfortable? It’s okay to put down your sword.”

“No, Confucius. I will never, never let go.”

“Get down for a moment… .”

“I do this because I like it. Confucius… Please, please.”

She hurriedly put her sword in her arms and shouted. Eyes shaking as if anxious and expression changing rapidly as if frightened.

‘Did I put too much pressure on you?’

There was a moment of regret in Allen’s eyes, and then it disappeared. He smiled bitterly for a moment and shook his head.

Seeing her skills that blossomed in the past, I gave her too high expectations.

‘It can’t be the same person.’

The dead mother lived.

The blind vengeance didn’t exist.

‘Emotions have a huge impact, especially when using prana.’

As the driving force for her growth is gone, I shouldn’t have thought that she would face the same result this time as well.

‘At the same time, I had Enelia work separately.

I didn’t know how she felt, thinking that Allen did not live up to her expectations.

While he didn’t care that he was going to be okay, her condition turned dangerous.

Allen sighed in response.

“No, if you are comfortable with it, do it.”

“Yes Yes! thank you.”

Linbell smiled brightly again and grabbed the sword strongly.

‘It’s my fault.’

Enelia’s expression was not good. Allen looked at her dark face and closed her eyes.

‘It would be nice if this new forest of trees was an opportunity.’

Her presence proves that Allen can change the future.

So I couldn’t give up.

The leaves crumbled and rustled along the road through late autumn, and the wagon headed for El Round moved swiftly along the white cumulus clouds.

It wasn’t long before I had time to meet Julius again.

Allen entered the city as quietly as he had left the mansion.

There was no commotion when Allen entered the city, as his achievements in Bergen had not yet spread to El Round.

Allen handed out the report he had written down while riding the wagon to his father.

“I stopped by Bergen for a personal business, and there, I saw that curses were rampant and subjugated the witch?”

Gaiel, who had read what had happened in Bergen, smiled and asked.

“Is that true?”

Reunited with his father after a few weeks, he was no different than he had seen before.

Hard, cold atmosphere.

Instead of giving a word of concern to the news that the witch has been subjugated, a man who first checks whether it is true or not.

It was the head of the Reinhardt family and his father.

“The witches reappeared and spread the curse… . Don’t doubt that because you’ve completely subjugated. By the way… .”

Gaiel turned his glassy eyes to look at him.

“Why didn’t you ask for help? If that was the case, there would be no need to act alone… .”

Maybe there was another plan.

Allen recited the answer he had prepared for the obvious suspicion.

“A lot of Young Ji-min has already been cursed, and we decided that delaying the time would be dangerous, so we acted first.”

“Is that all?”

“What could be greater than Young Ji-min’s safety and life?”

At Allen’s argument, Gaiel had no choice but to keep his mouth shut like a honey-eaten dumbass.

“The curse seemed to cost many lives in the midst of calling for assistance, so we had to act.”

Gaiel, who was watching Allen without a word despite his secondary explanations, nodded his head with a dissatisfied expression.

“… I’m sorry for doubting you. Good work. You must be tired, now go inside.”

“Yes, let’s go in.”

Allen bowed slightly to him and turned away.

As soon as the door to the office was half-opened like that, Gaiel suddenly opened his mouth.

When Allen paused, he asked a question as if passing by.

“Why did you go to Bergen? He hadn’t heard of him.”

that’s just it

Allen quietly answered his question.

“Because I can’t forget the flavor of the elf tea I had with my father. I went to Bergen to get those tea leaves.”

“okay? By the way, I don’t have much left… .”

Allen answered firmly and opened the door completely.

“I can’t seem to give it because I could only get a small amount.”

A small groan was heard from behind.

“It’s so sad.”

I think so too. father.

After meeting with his father, Allen was immediately taken to Eliza.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, Allen. huh? Have you forgotten anything?”

She blamed Allen with a pouty face as if she was sad.

“I’m sorry, Allen. Isn’t the promise to her mother not even a promise?”

“Mom, I have so much work to do, I can’t help it… .”

“Can you really say you can’t even take a moment?”

When she gave a sharp glance as if she knew everything, Allen quietly admitted her mistake.

After completing Arcanthus’ work, training, and subjugating Soned and witches.

To be honest, it was true that I couldn’t keep my promises with her because I was planning and executing various things.

“I will visit you more often in the future.”

“What… , but it seems unlikely… To be honest, I will forgive you.”

Allen answered quietly.

Eliza looked at him with disapproving eyes and sighed.

“… I’m glad nothing happened though. You subjugated the witch, wasn’t it dangerous?”

“It ended without a hitch.”

“But be careful. You were honestly reckless this time.”

Allen wanted to say that he acted because he was confident that he would overcome the witch’s battles, but the words that were about to appear in her worried eyes again caught in her throat.

“… I will be careful next time.”

“I’m not saying I don’t do it.”

Seeing her take a deep breath, Allen beckoned to Enelia.

Originally, I was going to give it to you after a while, but I didn’t know how long I would listen to my worries if I stayed still.

Inelia, who had been waving her eyebrows to the handmaiden whom she had not seen in a long time, from behind Allen, put the items she had prepared at Allen’s signal on the table.

“What is this?”

“It’s the tea leaves I got from the top.”

“I have enough tea leaves, so I’ll just take my heart-”

Allen looked at her waving her hand as if it was okay and continued.

“The tea leaves are grown by the elves themselves.”

“-But it’s something my son brought, and I can’t refuse. I will make the gift gratefully received. Laura.”

The maid, who was about the same age as her mother, smiled bitterly as if it was not new, and took a box of tea leaves.

“Then I will leave you alone.”

“already? Well… , okay. Have you just arrived? you must be very tired Hurry up and get some rest.”

Allen greeted her with a happy smile and stood up.

As he was leaving the outdoor terrace, her voice reached his ear.

“I don’t know what you’re doing, but don’t do anything dangerous.”

“Allen, one loss is enough for me.”

Allen didn’t answer, and resumed the step he had stopped.

As if she didn’t expect his answer, she smiled again and started having tea time with Laura.

But the emotions contained in her words that I felt for a moment.

‘… mother.’

It was terribly muddy and dark as a deep swamp.

So much that I can’t even imagine.

From the moment Allen arrived, he waited quietly for Julius’ news.

Eliza didn’t say much to him after that day’s conversation, and Allen began to spend the day repeating the daily life of the mansion.

While examining the remaining plans, he delivered a secret order to Karik and Soned.

I learned about the secret that was finally completed from Bestla, and researched the forest of divine beasts.

So when three days have passed.

“Brother Allen!”

Julius has arrived.

“Brother, how are you?”

“Yeah, but that… .”

Allen looked back at him with a surprised expression on his face, but Julius replied with a face that it was nothing.

“A lot of things happened in the royal capital. That’s what I got for it.”

The front door of the mansion was bustling with items from dozens of wagons that came in line from the city gates.

Even if Allen had not seen it himself, he could have guessed what had happened.

‘Is it a gift from the 3rd Princess and Irene Young-ae, and what they got through auction houses and black markets?’

When I saw it through the black book, I wasn’t particularly impressed, but when I saw it in reality, it was amazing.

‘At that point in my previous life I was locked in a room.’

This was the first time I actually saw it. The servants opened their mouths in admiration at the endless feast of gifts.

“Prince Julius, after all… .”

“You are amazing. You get things like that in the royal capital… .”

“It’s also Julius-sama.”

The servants and maids seemed completely relieved to see Julius showing a completely different appearance.

‘… ttt.’

Allen looked at Julius without the slightest change in expression.

“You can’t even imagine what happened to you.”

“Haha, that’s interesting. I want to hear it right away, but… You still have a lot of poison, so let’s listen to it tomorrow.”

At Allen’s consideration, Julius responded with a friendly smile.

“I’m fine, but… , you said no, so yes, I’ll tell you about it tomorrow.”

“okay. Your body comes first, so get rid of your poison.”

That body belongs to my brother.

“Isn’t it a loss if you catch a cold?”

“Haha, I see. older brother. I will rest. Can’t you rest?”

Julius left the rest of the luggage with the servants and disappeared to the mansion with Reina.

Allen watched until the back figure disappeared, then turned around.

‘Tell me tomorrow… , I wonder if there is time for that.’

Allen swallowed his cynicism and went back to the room with Linbell and Enelia.

Still, he had to remain Julius’s friendly older brother and a righteous man.

Fortunately, Allen’s prediction was not wrong.

The next day, while the whole family was having a meal after a long time, one of the servants hurriedly opened the door of the restaurant.

“Lord! Lord!”

Julius immediately shouted out if he was in a bad mood as he was interrupted while talking happily.

“What is this now! Interfere with meals… .”

But the servant, whose face turned white, shouted out loud without even hearing him.

“Elf! One elf… .”

No one questioned his attitude.

“I arrived at the mansion in a miserable condition!”

His words were so serious that they could lightly ignore his rudeness.

Gaiel and Eliza’s complexion changed at the servant’s words, and they quickly stood up from their seats.

“… Elf?”

Julius frowned as if he had not yet understood the meaning of the servant’s words.

between them.

‘… You’re finally here.’

Allen’s eyes sank deep as if he had come alone.

The incident that greatly increased Julius’s fame in his previous life, and the incident that was almost called the Count’s catastrophe, began.
