Episode 92
EPISODE.46
Was it to match the entrance time of the two people?
It was more than thirty minutes later that the carriage, which circled the royal capital several times, arrived at the royal palace.
chuck-.
Russell got off the carriage, followed the guidance of the attendant, and arrived in front of the banquet hall. Then, he stopped.
“after.”
I took a slow, deep breath and looked at my clothes once again.
“Relax.”
Hubert tapped Russell on the shoulder a couple of times.
Then, the attendant who had guided the two people turned to them and asked.
“Are you two ready?”
“Of course.”
“-yes. “I’m ready.”
Feeling the tension he had felt fading away, Russell answered half a beat later.
Thump, thump-, thump.
After they both agree, the servant knocks on the door several times with the back of his hand.
A light touch, that was the signal.
Dung-, Dung-, Dung-.
The sound of drums rang out.
It was a sound so loud that it could be heard beyond the banquet hall and outside the door.
There was no way the people inside the banquet hall could not have heard this sound.
Rattling-.
The door to the banquet hall opened and a loud shout came out. It was a shout announcing the positions of Russell and Hubert.
“Sir Russell, a member of the Flame Tower and the youngest 5th Circle mage in history, who achieved remarkable results in this victory, is entering!”
“Sir Hubert, a 6th circle mage belonging to the Flame Tower, is entering!”
Everyone inside turned their heads at the shout that echoed throughout the hall.
All eyes in the room were on the two people.
“That young man is… … .”
“Is this the Raymond family’s new supernova?”
“Hmm, I heard you’re around 20 now, but you’re as young as the rumors say.”
Several nobles were agitated by Russell’s appearance.
The friendly match that was a hot topic in the capital and the government meeting the day before. Although they had several opportunities, they were nobles who only heard Russell’s story through rumors.
There were also a few people who paid attention to Hubert’s introduction that followed.
“After being stagnant in the 5th Circle for so many years, have you finally overcome the wall?”
“Circle 6-, Flame Tower has a new tower lord-level wizard.”
They were wizards who had long heard rumors about Hubert.
“With this, there are three tower lord-level wizards in the Flame Tower alone.”
“If the talent he has shown so far is real, that young man will also enter the 6th circle within ten years… … .”
Someone muttered a word without thinking, and several old nobles trembled as if they had been struck by lightning.
Great noble or not.
These are strong-willed people who have survived in the political world of the royal capital for a long time.
They had no choice but to be sensitive to the flow of power in any way.
And, their experience and intuition were screaming.
‘Huh, does that mean that ten years from now there will be as many as four tower owner-level wizards in the Flame Tower?’
‘Unless something goes wrong, the Flame Tower will be the best magic tower of this era, both in name and reality.’
‘Considering age and future, even if the next generation is early, the tower owner in two generations will be that young man.’
-Now, a young man named Russell has become nothing short of the nucleus of a storm.
A few quick-witted nobles swallowed their saliva.
Some of the dogs even whispered something softly to the daughters or granddaughters of the families who came with them.
Tap, tap, tap-.
Russell walked slowly while receiving their gaze.
We headed towards the center of the banquet hall.
The thought that occurred to me as I walked was, funny enough, ‘Is this more bearable than I thought?’
I thought my face would definitely get hot.
‘Is this right?’
On the contrary, rather than the passionate gaze, I was surprised by my calm appearance.
It has to be that way.
Because it was Russell who had already achieved the title of sword master called ‘McRye Hughes’.
To him, the gazes of the nobles were no longer something he could feel insignificant.
Of course, if the number were several times larger than this, the story would be a little different.
“Look-”
“Let’s talk for a moment… … .”
“I belong to Count Blueen… … .”
Several nobles, whose bodies were heated, moved quickly. They came towards Russell, as if they were planning to surround him.
From the perspective of the great nobles, it may have been ‘un-noble’, but for them, it was an opportunity to get closer to the center of power.
but.
“Did you come?”

There was one person who quickly blocked their movements.
An appearance reminiscent of a white burning flame and a voice imbued with powerful power.
It was Daria Snowwhite.
“Master.”
When the two people opened their mouths to greet each other at the same time, Daria smiled and nodded.
“I knew that the youngest child received the best clothes, but… … .”
He looked at Russell and Hubert alternately with meaningful eyes and then said.
“You look pretty good too.”
“Is that so?”
“okay. The belly fat that was sticking out of the tailcoat has disappeared. Did she secretly exercise?”
“yes.”
Hubert smiled bitterly and nodded at his teacher’s words.
“I was somewhat inspired by what the priest was doing.”
It was a movement that started the day before after a conversation with Russell at the Academy, but it seems to be starting to show a little now.
“Good job. Just because you’re a wizard doesn’t mean you have to hold onto a book and smell like ink. “This is especially true for war mages like us.”
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to learn martial arts, such as recommended angles, or close-quarters combat techniques.
Daria advised so, and then.
chuck-.
“Is this friend the Kirin?”
A huge shadow fell on the three people. It was so large that it blocked half of the light from the chandelier hanging high up in the banquet hall.
Russell looked dumbfounded at the sudden appearance of the large figure.
It’s so huge that you can’t tell if it’s a bear or a person.
With a body and muscles this size, even ‘Vermilion’ would be able to overcome it.
Residing within such a large body is a huge martial arts weapon that looks as if it will explode at any moment.
‘Even if it is minimal, he is a strong man comparable to McRae Hughes!’
All the senses in my body were ringing alarm bells due to the confidence I had gained based solely on intuition.
There was only one person in the capital who was not a wizard and possessed such power.
A superhuman-level Auror trainee who knows how to use not just one sword, but eighteen types of weapons.
Weapon Master-.
“… … Sir Gillian Pearlson.”
Hearing Russell’s muttering, he smiled, showing his pure white teeth.
“I’m glad you know me. “It would be easy to talk about.”
Daria giggled as she patted Gillian’s stomach.
“Oh my, you bastard. “If you’re that big, even goblins passing by will recognize you.”
Since it wasn’t really a mistake, Gillian shrugged.
I glanced under my nose with a shy expression.
At first glance, Daria’s behavior may have been rude, but the fact that she did not care about it probably meant that this kind of relationship was familiar between the two people.
“My name is Russell Raymond. “I never thought the Weapon Master would come to me first.”
Russell calmed down and said hello, and Gillian smiled with a kind face.
“I’m Gillian Pearlson. I heard there is a young man with a lot of rumors, so I have to be able to hold back my curiosity. and… … .”
He continued speaking while stroking Russell’s entire body as if he were exploring.
“More than anything, I wanted to take a look at McLye Hughes, the young fellow who showed that naked bastard a hot taste.”
It was a reaction I had experienced before. Russell asked in a cautious voice, recalling his days as Nicolo.
“McRae Hughes, did you have anything to do with him?”
“huh?”
He widened his eyes at Russell’s question. He then shrugged his shoulders and responded.
“No way.”
“Then why… … ?”
“just.”
“?”
“I didn’t like what I was doing for a long time. Of course, I wonder how many of the Empire’s bastards I like… … .”
He purred his lips and frowned.
“McRye Hughes, that bastard, from you to your students. “They were all f*cking bastards.”
This time, on the contrary, Russell opened his eyes round. She was wondering if what she had just heard was true.
‘Like what?’
Russell is also familiar with swear words thanks to his worn-out career as a mercenary before returning.
However, I never thought I would hear such explicit expressions at a grand banquet in the royal palace.
Daria giggled, as if she felt relieved.
“Rather than that-.”
Gillian, who was giggling together, suddenly changed his gaze. She muttered as she examined each and every aspect of Russell’s body once again.
“I heard he was a wizard, but was he at least training in spearmanship? “Your basic muscles are pretty well built.”
It is said that he has mastered eighteen types of weapons and techniques. Who would have thought that he would know that he was learning spearmanship just by looking at the development of his muscles.
‘Are these the eyes of a warrior?’
Russell answered, secretly admiring his keen insight.
“yes. Of course, it is just a matter of learning basic spear techniques over and over again, but for now, that’s it.”
“Well, there’s nothing wrong with being basic. “You can’t build a castle on sand, right?”
He spit it out and added.
“If it’s still not enough, come visit me anytime. Your master… … .”
He glanced at Daria and added,
“… … “If you allow it, I will teach you often.”
“You bastard, are you coveting someone else’s student?”
Pukpukpuk-.
“It’s not about coveting disciples, it’s about seeking guidance. “The map is on the right side.”
“That’s it.”
“Hmph,” she said with a snort, looking back at Russell.
“He is unreliable compared to his size, but if you say you want to learn, I will teach you to a level where you can use it.”
The Weapon Master’s guidance skills are at a somewhat usable level. Daria is the only one who can say that.
In fact, it was as if the teacher’s permission had been granted, so Russell shifted his gaze.
I asked again as if to confirm.
“Is that true?”
“of course.”
He nodded, took off the thick gold ring he was wearing and handed it to Russell.
“If you need a proof, use this.”
It was a ring that was like his symbol, with a total of 18 types of weapons engraved on it, following its appearance.
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 in response to Russell’s question.
“well?”
I muttered as if it was no big deal.
“They say they will give fertilizer to a tree that seems promising, but does that require a grand reason?”
“ah.”
It was one word that gave an idea of the person that Gillian Pearlson was.
‘A barbarian disguised as an aristocrat and a warrior of heaven.’
You may or may not know Russell’s thoughts.
“Then, let’s end today’s meeting here.”
Gillian chuckled and patted Russell on the shoulder.
“It seems like there are many people waiting for you, even if it’s not me.”
He turned to look at the nobles and their women who were casting meaningful glances at Russell.
“This is why popular men get tired. Even when I was young, there were young ladies here and there… … .”
The sight of him walking away while saying things like ‘That was back in my day!’ is like a boring guy you often see in the neighborhood.
That was it.
