Chapter 27. The wolf recognizes those who stand up for themselves. (8)
If you were to sum up the atmosphere of the knights’ quarters in one word, it was like that.
A crucible of confusion.
“Who is that… … Surely, Abel Kindreal?”
“What on earth did you come here to cause?”
“Did you get permission from Lord Diego?”
The knights whispered quietly.
To be exact, more than 60% of the knights remaining in the territory, that is, those who did not participate in the northern subjugation war.
‘Yes, I did.’
What is Abel’s position within the Ovest Knights?
Diego never once introduced Abel to them or brought him to the border. Until I turned twenty.
‘Actually, you don’t have any talent with the sword, do you?’
‘It looks like a dog came out of a wolf, right?’
In the end, to them, Abel was nothing more than a thorn in their territory and was not recognized as a successor.
“… … .”
Therefore, even when the knights saw me, they only whispered and did nothing.
Even the name of the lord’s son was useless. Because the lord did not treat Abel like his son.
“Do they all have decorative eyes?”
As he spoke in a cynical tone, the atmosphere within the knights changed drastically.
“See you, Master.”
The knights hurriedly lowered their heads. These were the knights who were with me during the subjugation war, including Conrad.
“… … “I see you, Master.”
The remaining knights looked at each other and reluctantly lowered their heads. I looked away from that figure and stared at Conrad.
“Conrad.”
“Yes, master.”
“It seems like the discipline of the knights has become a bit lax.”
In my words,
“… … Heh!”
“… … omg!”
The knights who participated in the subjugation battle held their breath. They got so angry at me that they started glaring at the knights.
“Because of those kids… … .”
“Damn, is this the beginning of hell’s sparring again?”
The rest of the knights were equally taken aback by the unexpected hostility.
“No, did you take any medicine together?”
“What on earth is this attitude change?”
Jonas, who saw this, was startled and cried out.
“You stupid bastards, watch your mouth!”
The bruise on his forehead had already disappeared, but the memories of last night still remained in his mind.
Puzzle!
The fierce snowball fight between the knights,
“I’m sorry, Master. “It’s my fault.”
I paused at one word from Conrad.
“omg… … ?”
“Vice-captain?”
The knights looked at Conrad with an expression like the sky had fallen. Conrad didn’t care at all and bowed his head towards me.
“I was unable to take care of the knights because I was busy handling the backlog of work. Please stop your anger.”
Conrad’s earnest tone was full of intent, asking him not to start a knife fight here.
“There is no need to use your help, Master. “If you leave it to me, I will complete your mental education within an hour, or even 30 minutes.”
Conrad said each word emphatically. His sincerity is on a different level from what Philip used to say to save the servant from me.
“Let me try to believe it.”
Because I felt that, I quietly moved on to the next step. Anyway, the reason I came here was for other business.
“I’m talking about that task that’s behind.”
I handed the paper I was carrying to Conrad.
“It would be better to read this and finish it.”
Conrad reflexively took the paper,
“… … “This?”
I was shocked when I checked the title. And then, without taking a breath, I read the paper frantically.
“Vice-captain?”
“Why are you doing this?”
The other knights were equally embarrassed. Conrad then realized they were there and turned around.
“This is a new reform plan for the Ovest Knights.”
The knights were startled and straightened their posture.
“First, the scouting team. “We will increase the number of shifts from the existing two-shift system to four, and also increase the number of people for each shift.”
Silence spread like a tide into the living room. This was because the knights’ mouths slowly opened.
“Overall improvements were made to the knights’ quarters, and a new horse farm was established to train war horses… … .”
While Conrad was reading the paper intently, I looked around for an empty chair.
“Please sit here.”
Then, I sat down on the chair that Liam gave me.

“Thank you.”
Liam just lowered his head in silence. I felt a strange resignation on his face, as if I had somehow expected this to happen.
“Finally, we will increase the salaries of all knights by 50%.”
When Conrad finished speaking,
“This is ridiculous!”
“What day is it today?”
“Are you kidding me?”
The inside of the knights’ quarters became as noisy as a market floor.
Sze-
“Everyone, shut up.”
He raised his hands and exhaled energy.
“-!”
The knights all turned to look at me. Everyone seemed surprised, perhaps because they were sensitive to life.
“Why do you think it doesn’t make sense?”
I pointed out the person who was arguing with Conrad earlier.
“Tell me, Richard.”
The person who was pointed out, Richard, was startled.
“What is my name…?” … ,”
“It doesn’t matter if you know, just answer.”
“No, that.”
Richard scratched his cheek with a shy expression.
“What is that… … “I don’t know if I should tell you what everyone knows.”
He continued speaking, feeling encouraged by the fact that people around him had the same expression as him.
“… … Where is the money in the Obest territory? “It’s the poorest place in the empire.”
“It was like that.”
Several knights noticed the past tense of my sentence and looked puzzled.
“But not anymore.”
Feeling that everyone was paying attention to what I said, I slowly stood up.
“Because I will make it that way.”
“No, what kind of money do you have… … .”
Scream!
What answered someone’s question was the sound of a heavy coin.
“-!”
The wide-open eyes of the knights focused on the sack I had taken out. And whenever the sack moved to and fro, it followed it.
‘… … ‘This is quite fun, isn’t it?’
They all have faces like cats chasing their prey.
After playing around for a while, I opened the hand that was holding the sack.
Scream!
The bag falls to the floor with a loud sound,
Churrrruk, churraralak-
The gold coins that were inside poured out.
“Oh my god, those are all gold coins?”
“How much does it all cost?”
“I don’t know… … . “Why are there so many?”
The knights gathered in front of the gold coin.
“Oh my. “I think this is your first time seeing 100,000 gold coins, right?”
Then he turned to me at my arrogant words. He stood firmly in front of the gold coin and proudly declared.
“Everyone, forget about the Ovest Knights so far.”
He said while facing the blank faces of the knights one by one.
“Instead of days when we survived only with pride and a sense of duty, we will make sure that there are days when our dedication is rewarded as it deserves.”
He stretched out his hand and pointed at the gold coin.
“To do that, of all things, you need money.”
“… … .”
“And of course, the sack I brought today is only part of it. “A very small portion.”
The expressions of the members who were listening changed. Doubt and disbelief disappeared, and expectations and hope settled on top of them.
The flashing gold coins gave powerful force to my words.
“This reform plan was also written by me. Of course, my father’s seal is clearly stamped underneath.”
He moved his hand to point at the paper Conrad was holding,
“What does this mean?”
I asked a question to everyone. With a proud yet arrogant attitude.
“… … no way.”
“… … if?”
Realization slowly spread across the knights’ faces. The first thing I noticed was a man hiding his wisdom behind a grim face.
“The successor… … “You’re done.”
Conrad’s voice was filled with emotion. I nodded my head in agreement and looked around.
“This is just the beginning. “I can promise you a golden future.”
Among them, the names of several knights who had expressions similar to Conrad were called.
“Hayden, Klaus, Roland… … .”
The knights whose names were called quickly walked out and stood in front of me as if they had made an appointment. Meanwhile, the rest of the members looked at us with bated breath.
“Starting today, they will be transferred to the Knights’ Order under my direct control.”
After confidently declaring, he quietly asked the knights.
“Would you like to follow me?”
The knights looked at each other and smiled.
thud.
Their hard, armor-covered knees hit the floor.
“I will follow your orders.”
“I will follow Master Abel.”
A voice filled with absolute loyalty rang out.
“You’re not even pretending to worry?”
Conrad, who was listening, added something as if it was absurd. Although he said so, he didn’t seem to have any intention of capturing his knights.
“I think Master Abel will refuse no.”
“If you refuse, I think they will take you away.”
“Because you have to seize good opportunities right away.”
The knights responded immediately with a shameless attitude. And one of them, Roland, came forward with an enthusiastic look on his face.
“What should I prepare first? Please give me an order.”
He took out another bag that was in his pocket and held it out. It’s much smaller than the bag of gold coins I took out earlier.
“Open it.”
Roland took the sack and opened the entrance,
Paaaat!
A dazzling white light emanated from within. It was the light emitted from the diamonds rolling around within it.
“First, get new weapons and armor. “We have to go up to the capital again, so prepare plenty of horses and supplies.”
“… … .”
“Oh, by the way, take care of the remaining money.”
The command was given sweeter than any command they had ever heard.
The eyes of Roland and other knights under my immediate command sparkled.
“Yes, I understand!”
The answer that followed was also loud.
The other knights’ eyes fell on them like arrows. Their eyes were completely different from the first time, full of envy and envy.
“If I had known it would be like this, I would have… … .”
“This is only for those who participated in the subjugation war… … .”
However, no one said anything, as if they all had a shred of conscience. I just chewed my lips to soothe my regret.
At a time when fate was divided within the Ovest Knights,
Shake!
Someone opened the living room door roughly.
“It’s an attack!”
A knight with a blue face shouted. She added, breathing heavily, as she must have been running for a long time.
“There are 20 Vivernas, and among them there is a queen!”
“What, queen?”
The calm disappeared from Conrad’s face.
Viverna.
It is a monster that has a similar appearance to a dragon, but is much smaller in size. However, it has a more ferocious personality and has a habit of snatching its prey with its claws.
“Everyone prepare for battle!”
Conrad waved his hand,
Clap, clap.
The sound of weapons being skillfully grabbed could be heard from all over the place. This situation was very familiar to the Ovest Knights.
“Oh my god, Viverna Queen. “I can’t rest as soon as I come.”
Conrad swallowed a sigh and approached the knight who delivered the news.
“Which group is responding now?”
“This is the group of Leon and Heinz. Oh, and.”
The knight answered while catching his breath.
“Princess Lea Concellare is also with us.”
“What do you mean? “Please tell me in detail.”
Conrad’s expression became even more serious. The driver looked at me and answered.
“They say you followed Master Abel. “I was just about to show you to the place, but when he heard the news of Viverna, he rushed to his place.”
“Master, this is a big deal.”
Conrad turned hastily towards me.
“The Viverna Queen grows to the size of a dragon. No matter how great Princess Leia’s skills are, it can be dangerous.”
He gestured toward another knight.
“Prepare urgent news. Come on Lord Diego… … .”
“No, that won’t happen.”
chin.
I reached out and grabbed Conrad’s wrist.
“I will go.”
Black light flickered above my eyes as I whispered lowly.
