EP.131 People with rough mouths (1)
The appearance of White Magic Tower lord Selly was loud, but not impressive. Even after she appeared, her banquets were just banquets, and her warriors were just warriors.
“So, Lady Rania…”
“No matter how spicy your punches are, every time you get hit, the light in front of your eyes is just…”
“Don’t even talk. I heard you freaked out when they kneed your temple. I thought her eyeballs were popping out.”
Warriors tell sagas.
To them, scars are something to be proud of and talk about. Of course, not all warriors had the honor of fighting guests. Those who missed the opportunity kept glancing at the girl who was licking her lips and talking to the Archduke.
So, to put it another way.
“···hey?”
This means that not even a single glance was paid to the person who suddenly opened the door and came to visit.
“Can you not hear me?”
For some reason, Celie felt like she was going to cry.
Who were you? He is the owner of the White Magic Tower and a great wizard who has realized the pinnacle of elemental magic.
‘I’m not the type of person to be treated like this…!’
No matter how much the North is a warrior society, this treatment is wrong. Sally’s shoulders trembled. She has someone watching her.
“Uh, um…”
Oyakal, who was standing behind Sely, rolled his eyes. Northern warriors don’t worry about small details. All they care about is fighting. However, not Oyakal.
‘If I messed up this…’
Thirteen warriors of the Northern Grand Duke.
As he sits in a high position, Oyakal has at least a little sense. It was clear that if the White Magic Tower master got angry… it would be a very troublesome situation.
“Big, big!”
Oyakal cleared his throat.
As he cleared his throat, my eyes turned to him for a moment. That gaze also includes Lark’s. Oya Kal opened his eyes and shouted silently.
‘Master, quickly!’
Oyakal said so with his mouth.
Perhaps that earnestness had reached him, but Lark, who was sitting far away, blinked and opened his mouth.
“Ah, Master, are you here?”
“Oh my, Lord White Top!”
Mrs. Palia, who was sitting next to Lark’s words, covered her mouth as if she was surprised. Only then did Oyakal breathe a sigh of relief.
‘Madame Palia will do something.’
He has a gentle strength that warriors lack. I’m sure you’ll be able to resolve this situation. Oyakal wiped the sweat from his forehead and took a step back.
“Lady Palia…!”
Celie shouted in a voice full of moisture. Palia nodded her head with a soft smile.
“It looks like he forgot. It was very cold, right? “Would you like to come over and make a bonfire together?”
“Even if you don’t have to go that far…”
“You keep your mouth shut.”
“······.”
A glance from Palia silenced Eryahl.
“This kind of rudeness is also rude. Oh my, look at your ears. “Let’s drink this first…”
“Thank you, Madam Palia. But, I’m right next to you…”
“Would you like to talk about business matters later and enjoy the banquet with me? “You arrived late, but you should enjoy the remaining time.”
Palia gently cut off Celie’s words. Then he grabbed Sally’s arm and stood up.
“No, there’s something to say there…!”
“Oh my, the food our chef put so much effort into has been prepared. “Let’s go, shall we?”
Celie is dragged away without even being able to properly resist. She dragged her and headed to her other table, but Palia glanced behind her and glanced behind her.
And then he says it with his mouth.
‘Please feel free to share your stories.’
Rania stuck her tongue out at that sight.
‘Is that… a first-class way of dealing?’
In many ways, she was a woman worthy of the name of the mistress of the North.
2.
I heard one request from the Grand Duke of the North. In fact, it’s not even a request, it’s something I’ve been doing for a long time.
‘If you roll, you grow as much as you roll.’
That’s like a truth.
Uncle Kuntel, the master of the sword, said so, my teacher said so… and Cardi, an ancient elf who has been alive for some time, also said something similar.
‘Then it’s the truth.’
There was no reason not to practice the truth.
Of course, I would have to roll a little more as I was given permission… but in my opinion, that was no reason to call me all the way to the North.
‘Because it’s something that can just be sent by letter.’
He is like the Grand Duke of the North.
I don’t think a person of his caliber would have called me to the North for just that reason. I had a strong feeling that there was something else that was important.
“Then what is a ‘favor’?”
One request and one request.
The Grand Duke said so. He had listened to the request, so all that was left was a favor. The Archduke opened his mouth to my question.
“professor. Do you know about the legend of the White Night Castle?”
“I vaguely know the legend of the North who took over the White Night Castle.”
Ancient ruins, White Night Castle.
I had researched any legends related to him.

‘Because it was one of the main tasks of the Gray Magic Tower.’
An ancient country that was reduced to ashes.
I studied everything related to that country. Among them was White Night Castle. The White Night Castle was also a relic left behind by an ancient nation.
“A snowy mountain where snow storms rage all year round. One day, a great warrior climbed a mountain through a snow storm.”
“As he climbed the mountain through a snow storm, a castle appeared before the warrior’s eyes. “The moment the warrior stepped into the castle, which glowed pure white even in the dark, the storm cleared.”
“At that moment, Baek Ya-seong recognized him as his master. “It was the moment when a new owner was born in the North.”
I roughly know it as a legend like that.
There were many hypotheses, such as that there was a magic tool that could arbitrarily manipulate the climate, or that the White Night Castle itself was some kind of barrier… but they were only hypotheses.
In the end, there was nothing to know.
That has to be the case. The legend of the White Night Castle was hundreds of years ago.
‘Even if you try to study it now, everything will be damaged. ‘That’s what circuits are all about.’
As I was thinking about the legend of the White Night Castle, the Grand Duke nodded and continued speaking.
“Yes, the first head of the Grace family succeeded in taking the White Night Castle through a snow storm. Hundreds of years have passed since then, but the story remains as a legend that will not fade.”
It’s kind of a symbol.
As he said that, the Archduke narrowed his eyes.
“For those who carry on Grace’s name, the snow storm is an ordeal to overcome. It’s a wall that needs to be overcome. And, the moment is coming when my son will also have to face that wall.”
The Archduke smiled as he watched Lark chewing on meat. He said, touching Lark’s head.
“I could take him with me, but I would like to ask you to teach him from now on.”
“yes?”
“I want you to come see the place where the Grace family’s coming-of-age ceremony has been held for generations with this guy.”
As I blinked, the Archduke continued his explanation.
“Deep in the snowy mountains, in the center of a raging snow storm, there is an unfrozen spring. “This is the place where the weapons used by our ancestors were left.”
A spring that doesn’t freeze.
Something came to mind. However, since I was not sure, I listened to the Archduke in silence.
“Surviving half a day in a snow storm. That’s Grace’s coming-of-age ceremony. “But I see more than that.”
“If it’s more than the above…”
“The center of the fountain. “The place where the founder of the Grace family planted his beloved weapon.”
said the archduke.
“I hope that Lark will set foot there, and that he will be able to pull out the weapon left behind by the Originator with his own hands.”
Lark held his breath.
The Archduke smiled bitterly and relaxed his shoulders.
“Of course it’s early right now. Because it’s something no one in the family has ever done. However, someone in the family will reach there. “I think it’s Lark.”
“···You seem sure.”
“haha.”
The Archduke laughed out loud at my words.
“I can only be sure. “You saw it too, so you know, right?”
“······.”
“This guy has talent. A talent that no one else in the family had. and···.”
After a brief pause, the Archduke opened his mouth.
“He also has the potential to rise to the rank of superhuman.”
It was a sharp look.
I could feel the confidence in that voice.
“It may be a little off-putting, but what I want to ask you is to go with this guy near the spring… and watch the snow storm and think about it together. How to get through the snow storm surrounding Sam and get to the center of Sam.”
He shrugged his shoulders.
“You will learn a lot in Aplia, so wouldn’t it be okay to teach you one more thing?”
“I guess it’s something that isn’t in the curriculum.”
“So, I’m asking you a favor.”
I burst out laughing.
“Is that what you’re saying, please give me a special lecture?”
“If you need tuition fees, I’ll give you whatever you want.”
I shook my head.
I had no intention of charging lecture fees. Although it is not in the bachelor’s curriculum, it was something the Archduke had intended to teach at least once, even if he did not say so.
‘A spring that never freezes, and a snow storm.’
I laughed inside.
The reason was obvious.
‘In a way, it’s like we’ve already given them prior learning.’
Coincidentally, Lark had experienced something similar. At the beginning of the semester, during the placement test.
‘That’s the fountain of mana.’
How to survive in the fountain of mana.
How to survive the storm of mana.
‘To put it another way…’
It is like enduring a demonic world. In the end, it was one of the things I had to teach.
“I don’t think it will be that difficult.”
“···Hoo.”
The Archduke smiled as if he was interested.
“You sound quite confident.”
“I learned a lot during my travels.”
“haha.”
The Archduke smiled in satisfaction and held out his hand to me. It was a hand that could be called the hand of a warrior. Hands full of calluses and scars.
“Please take care of me, Professor.”
I held his hand.
‘He speaks well, this guy.’
We looked at each other and laughed.
“Uhm…”
Lark was looking at me with a very worried look, but that wasn’t something I really needed to worry about.
3.
“Now that I think about it, Lark.”
“A distinguished guest is staying at the White Night Castle.”
“If you go to the training ground early in the morning, we’ll be able to meet you. Try asking for a sparring match at least once. He seems like a man with a lot to learn.”
Early morning after the banquet.
Lark was heading to the sparring grounds. Rania was following behind Lark, who was leading the way.
“Professor, aren’t you sleeping anymore?”
“I open my eyes in the morning.”
“yes?”
“It’s just a habit, a habit. I have nothing to do, but I just want to watch you train. “I’m also curious about who the VIP is.”
Professor, you don’t sleep much in the morning.
With that thought in mind, Lark walked silently. The warriors’ training ground was not far from the White Night Castle.
visor!
The sound of metal clashing against metal rang out.
Several warriors were gathered at the training ground on the side of the snowy mountain, a little away from the White Night Castle.
“Sigh!”
Snowy mountain in the early morning.
The warriors swing their weapons in the cool air. Beads of sweat formed on their muscles.
“next.”
Someone’s voice rang out among the warriors.
“next.”
The voice resonates with the sound of metal.
Each time a clanging sound rang out, a warrior fell to the floor. A man appears among the fallen warriors.
“next.”
Hair that is rough because it is not groomed.
The scar-filled face and sharp eyes seem to indicate that the man lived on the battlefield.
“Are there any more?”
A middle-aged man with thick, rough lines.
In the man’s hand is a sword that is not even out of its sheath. The moment Lark saw the pattern engraved on the scabbard, he realized something. Who is that man in front of me?
The emblem of the territory turned into ashes.
The symbol now only refers to one prosecutor.
“Sword Demon, Draka…”
Lark muttered without thinking.
The Sword Demon heard the murmur and turned his head. A sharp gaze is directed at Lark.
“Inhale…”
Lark took a deep breath.
They were the eyes of a beast. Just looking at it makes me feel like I’m suffocating.
“you.”
Draka raised his arms.
He raised his finger and pointed at Lark.
“Who is looking at me like that?”
No, it wasn’t him.
Lark looked again at where his fingertips were pointing. Draka’s fingertips were pointing behind Lark’s back.
‘···professor?’
Professor Rania is standing there.
She had her arms crossed and was looking at Draka with an expression as if she had chewed a bug. Even her contempt is visible in that gaze.
“Are you dissatisfied with me?”
Draka asked a question.
Rania laughed at that question.
“No, whatever.”
And then he spat out.
“I thought it looked really shitty.”
Lark’s complexion turned pale.
A word from the author (author review)
Draka is a middle-aged handsome man.
It doesn’t look like shit!
*It’s a little late, I’m sorry ㅠㅠ
