‘Tsk.’
Russell let out a low sigh due to the strong air waves.
Even the form of fighting spirit can take the form of hundreds of types of weapons.
‘As expected, Weapon Master.’
How much time, experience, and hardship is needed to reach the same level as me.
It was difficult for Russell, a wizard, to guess its depth.
However, one thing is certain: although it is strong, it is not so strong that it cannot be endured.
My knees buckled for a moment, but that was it.
‘You shouldn’t try to fight from the front.’
Those who could collide head-on with the Master were limited to the same Master.
It was Russell who painfully experienced this fact through the life-or-death battle he had with McRae Hughes and his sparring with Muyaho.
However, just because you can’t face it doesn’t mean you can’t endure it.
‘It sheds.’
Slurp-.
The magic power flowing from the heart begins to swirl around Russell, creating a strange flow of magic power.
Soon the flow took on a spiral-like shape.
Whirlpool flow-.
The speculation that was flying toward Russell slowly blended into the flow.
It begins to wander around and soon flows behind Russell.
Of course, it cannot be said that it was completely shed. The sensation of my skin tingling and my muscles tightening still remained.
However, one thing was certain: Russell received his speculation.
‘her.’
Gillian Pearlson stuck out her tongue at that sight.
Even though he wasn’t at his best, he was able to take it so easily.
Of course, Vermilion Ulsen, the same 6th circle wizard, could also look like this.
However, one thing is certain.
At most, this was not something a kid who had been in the 6th circle for just over a year could show.
‘Of course, I knew that the kid in front of me was growing much faster than normal guys… … .’
There was only one possible guess: something beyond simple rapid growth.
The kid in front of me has quite a few experiences like this. Because of that, I got used to receiving momentum and letting it go.
Baektapju also seemed to think the same thing and turned his head.
Daria, who received that gaze, shrugs her shoulders and shakes her head.
‘Then really-.’
‘Through sparring with the Beast King… … .’
at that time.
King Alfonso Ratmos intervened.
“Okay, I think that’s enough of the exam and we should get back to the agenda, right?”
A truly timely intervention.
match-.
Gillian Pearlson began to drool and lose strength amidst the sound of applause.
Wow-.
Russell also recovered his magic power as he felt the dozens or hundreds of shapeless swords aimed at him disappear.
Wow.
Is it because he answered it himself?
The meeting after that went more smoothly than expected.
Perhaps because many of the concerns had subsided, the response was generally positive.
Of course, despite this, there was an opinion left that people should be sent to the Kuril Islands periodically to go through the verification and verification process.
That’s about it.
‘If it goes like this, it won’t be long before I can give you a positive answer to Muyaho, right?’
Of course, it will take some more time.
The country of Endymion was too large to decide such an important issue in just one meeting.
After the first meeting, a somewhat large framework was established.
Before addressing the large and small officials attending the meeting, the king spoke in a solemn voice.
“Before ending the meeting, I would like to first commend Count Russell Raymond for his contributions.”
Praise means that a superior gives a reward as a sign of gratitude for the meritorious work of a subordinate.
A question arose in Russell’s mind as he sat down.
It was because he was wondering if he had made a contribution recently.
I looked at my teacher, Daria, just in case, but she only had a meaningful smile on her face.
The King smiled softly, as if answering Russell’s question.
“The first meeting has only ended, but if the future atmosphere continues like today, our country will be able to embrace as many as 200,000 beastmen.”
Unless there were special variables, in fact, it was almost like a confirmed matter.
Moreover, 100,000 of them had the combat power of a trained soldier or higher, and the beast king who led them had skills comparable to those among superhumans.
“How could we have embraced them if Count Raymond had not stepped forward?”
Russell quietly shook his head at the king’s words.
“It was just luck that I came into contact with the beast people. “It wasn’t my intention to take credit.”
“I knew you would say that, but-.”

The King grinned.
“Even so, a ball is a ball.”
Then he spread his shoulders wide. He got up from his seat, looked around at the ministers large and small, and shouted.
“Sir Russell Raymond, earl of your country, listen!”
A voice that rings loudly.
Russell stood up and bowed his head. He knelt down on one knee respectfully.
Even though it was unintentional, it seemed like the king had already decided to give a reward.
furthermore.
‘I don’t know what it is, but there’s no harm in taking it.’
The King said in a solemn voice as he caught a glimpse of Russell, who had taken his stance and prepared himself.
“Even if you leave a sharp awl unattended, it will tear through your pocket. I have never seen anyone who fits that proverb better than Sir. In order to praise the great and small achievements that you have made for our country so far, I take this opportunity to bestow you the title of Shinsunggong (晨星公), meaning morning star!”
As if it didn’t end there, they continued without stopping.
“I also grant you ownership of one of the items in the royal archives. I hope that in the future, I will become a star that shines on my country, befitting my nickname of Shinsung (晨星). That’s how I look at Jim.”
Before Russell could even get over his surprise at the mention of ownership of one of the royal treasures’ items.
[After the meeting is over, please follow me for a moment. [I’m the youngest]
Daria’s voice flowed into my ears.
[It looks like His Majesty has something to share with you.]
.
.
Guided by Daria, Russell arrived at the reception room located deep in the royal palace.
“If you wait here, Your Majesty will come soon.”
Among the many reception rooms, there is a single table.
Or, a reception room measuring a few pyeong or so prepared for conversations with a few people.
The reason she guided Russell here was simple.
For the king to change into relatively simple clothes after finishing the meeting.
After completing Russell’s guidance, she immediately picked up the snacks prepared in the reception room.
It was a snack made with chips made from powdered dough and filled with small chocolate pieces.
Wasak, wasak.
“hmm. “The royal sweets are special no matter when you eat them.”
Russell lightly moved his eyes, ignoring the giggling sound coming from behind him.
Then, little by little, images from all over the living room come into view.
It was a reception room with an elegant yet elegant style that was not particularly revealing but did not lose its elegance and status.
As he looked around the living room, Russell quietly thought.
‘Me suddenly at this point?’
Officially the King and Count.
Privately, it was a relationship between my father-in-law and son-in-law. It could have been called to have a private conversation, but there was also a possibility that wasn’t the case.
‘Is there some reason?’
After several times of thinking alone and tilting my head, the king entered the living room.
He looked back at Russell and Daria with a benevolent expression and said.
“haha. “I don’t know if I kept my officers waiting too long.”
Daria smiled naturally and responded to his muttering.
“It can’t be. “Thanks to you, I am having a great time.”
In one hand, he was shaking a cookie studded with chocolate chips.
Well then, that’s a good thing – the king muttered and sat down.
He hesitated for a moment to think about something, and soon after making a decision, he opened his mouth.
“Count Russell Raymond.”
“yes. your majesty.”
“It’s already been more than half a year since I accepted you as a member of the royal family.”
“… … ?”
What is the purpose of taking this pause to say something or to get lucky?
The words the king spoke to Russell, who was puzzled, were something completely unexpected.
“By the way, in private, I think I will call you son-in-law instead of earl. “What do you think?”
Whose words are we to reject? When Russell agreed, the King gently sighed.
“Thank goodness, but I was wondering what would happen if I refused.”
It looks like he was genuinely thinking that way when he laughed out loud.
As I looked at him, I also felt that he was quite a different person than when I met him as a king and a subject.
Of course, there is no awkwardness on either side, so both sides are their true selves.
What followed immediately afterwards was a series of trivial conversations.
Most of the questions were focused on the relationship with Hecate, conversations that could easily be had between a father-in-law and a son-in-law.
How long did various conversations last like that?
The king adjusted his posture and sat down, noticing that the teacup in front of the three was half empty.
“Actually, the reason I called my servants here today was to tell my son-in-law two things.”
Not one, but two.
“One side is a warning, the other side… … It’s a reward. “If I’m going to talk about compensation, I guess I’ll have to explain the warning first.”
Russell tilted his head to the side when he heard the word warning. She looked at her teacher with a questioning look, but Daria only nodded once.
‘Do you already know?’
Meanwhile, the King’s face hardened and he spoke in a low voice.
“Uncle… … So, be careful of Archduke Bismarck and Blaine.”
“… … ?”
To some extent, I could understand the reason to be careful about these two people.
Archduke Bismarck was someone who could not give up his greed for the throne, and Blaine was a member of Archduke Bismarck’s faction.
Besides, didn’t he think that he lost the position of Lord of the Flames to his teacher Daria?
Of course, if he had become the owner of the pagoda, it would have simply been called Wangdojeoktap (王都赤塔), not Yeomtap (炎塔).
Anyway.
“I see.”
“May I ask why?”
The King nodded and began to explain with a sigh.
“After hearing the name ‘Raymond’ for the first time in a while, I briefly looked through records about the family.”
It’s not true right now, but even just a few years ago, you would occasionally hear the name Raymond.
“!?”
Russell’s eyebrows twitched as he said that he had looked through the family records.
“In the process, I even checked the report on how the Raymond family estate was returned to the national treasury.”
『The Raymond family and ‘Russell Raymond’ no longer have the resources left to manage the estate.
The territory is returned to the national treasury.』
The memory of that time still remained a painful memory for Russell.
The king said one shocking word to Russell.
“To conclude, the report was fabricated.”
