426.
Summer in full swing.
The warp gate flashed.
With that, a boy with orange hair came out of the warp gate.
“The west is definitely hotter than the central part.”
Grabbing his collar and shaking it to get rid of the heat, Karl covered his eyes with his other palm and looked up at the sky.
The bright, strong sunlight was clearly giving me a feeling of summer.
“At times like this, it’s nice to have Chloe.”
Cal, who was thinking about the Ice Wizard and licking his lips with regret, looked around.
In Karl’s hometown, Moira Kingdom or Lumeria City, it was easy to buy a cool drink or ice cream on the street on a hot day like this.
‘Is it because it’s definitely a rural kingdom? There is nothing like that.’
The Kingdom of Moira, located in the central part of the continent, is a small country, but it is a hub for countless people and logistics, and Lumeria City is a city so developed that it is literally called the center of the world.
The city’s infrastructure was also developed to that extent, but here, in the western border kingdom of Delad, there was nothing like that.
‘I think doing business here would be a big hit. Since it’s the capital, shouldn’t it have its own money?’
Carl rolled his head as he looked at the streets of Delran.
How much money could you make if you stayed here all summer vacation?
I imagined something like that, but then I sighed softly.
‘It’s a shame I don’t have time to stay here for long.’
It was time for Carl to lick his appetite and start walking.
A group of students wearing what looked like school uniforms were riding horses and walking down the street.
They were walking as if escorting a carriage.
Carl checked the flag on the carriage and got out of the way.
The symbol of the Delard royal family was embroidered on it.
‘A carriage ridden by royalty.’
It was when Karl was muttering to himself and was about to walk.
“There, orange hair.”
Carl was called from the side of the carriage.
When I turned my head with a puzzled look on my face, I saw a boy about Karl’s age wearing a school uniform approaching me riding a horse.
“Why are you doing this?”
“How dare you block the road while the royal family is passing by?”
Carl scratched his head at the boy’s words.
Carl got out of the way so as not to impede the carriage.
However, seeing that this was said, it seemed like he was caught up in some troublesome matter.
“Because I’m from the central part of the continent. When you come as a tourist, the laws of this country are dark. “Could you please tell me what to do when the royal family passes by?”
“It is polite to move as far away as possible when the royal carriage passes by.”
“yes. All right.”
Every kingdom has different etiquette.
Carl chose to move on rather than get caught up in troublesome matters.
The boy Gulliver’s mouth curled up as he looked at the knife.
“joy. Even if you are a commoner, if you come to another country as a tourist, be sure to understand the etiquette of that country. “As a commemoration of your arrival at Delard, please know that it is an honor for me, a top student at Delran Royal School, to personally teach you etiquette.”
“Thank you for that.”
Carl grinned.
Wherever you go, there are people like this among the nobles.
‘I’m glad you didn’t come with the prince.’
Carl thought of Duran, the crown prince of the kingdom he was born in and a classmate at the academy who shared the same dormitory.
The next morning after vacation begins.
An invitation came to Karl’s room.
The sender was the Dragon Lord.
About the time I let out an exclamation and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
‘Carl Thomas, did you receive an invitation too?’
Carl, who had just taken a bite of the breakfast bread, almost felt embarrassed when he saw Duran suddenly barging into the kitchen.
Cal sighed deeply, remembering his parents who had been upset by the sudden visit of the royal family, especially the crown prince, in the morning.
Karl was kicked out of his position, talking about the honor of the family, and Duran was shamelessly treated pampered at Karl’s house until the morning.
‘Mom, what about breakfast for me?’
‘You eat after His Highness the Crown Prince has finished eating.’
Carl grumbled inwardly as he remembered Duran, who proudly barged into other people’s homes and shamelessly ate other people’s food, even giving them permission to eat.
‘When you say the Plov family’s territory, do you mean Leo Plov’s territory?’
‘I guess so? By the way, you can just talk to your close friends through magic communication. Why are you attacking me in the morning?’
‘Hmph, only a few people received invitations. ‘I’ve already confirmed it with several people.’
It seemed like they had confirmed it by sending a magic message to Rumeren classmates early in the morning.
After roughly checking the information, Duran left.
He almost went along, but Carl was planning to go to Leo’s house earlier than the other students to play with him.
‘If we had come together, there would have been an uproar.’
It was when Karl muttered to himself.
Suddenly the door in the carriage opened.
The Delran Royal School students who were escorting the carriage all got off their horses and knelt down in shock.
The Delan Royal School student who had been showing off to Karl also hurriedly knelt down and glanced up at Karl and winked.
“I am the crown prince of the Kingdom of Delad. hurry… … .”

“Isn’t Carl Thomas a student at Lumern Academy? Sir Leo’s friend.”
“You were the crown prince. “Have you been at peace so far?”
Karl took the example.
At the time of the last summit. It was Prince Deven, the crown prince of the Kingdom of Delad, whom I learned through Leo.
Gulliver, a student at Delran Royal School who had been showing off to Karl, widened his eyes at the word Rumern.
“It looks like you are planning to spend your vacation here in Delard.”
“Yes, I was invited by Leo.”
Carl grinned.
Although he is a commoner, he is sly and a member of Noble, a group of students from famous families, so he is accustomed to etiquette.
Prince Deven, who was nodding his head while looking at the sword, glanced at Gulliver and looked apologetic.
“I wonder if our Royal School student may have been rude.”
“I think it could happen if you don’t know.”
Carl replied slyly.
Gulliver’s face turned white as he bowed his head.
“It’s fate that we met like this, so I’ll take you to the Plov family’s mansion.”
“You don’t have to go through the trouble.”
“Don’t hesitate. “Actually, there is something I would like to ask you for advice on.”
“Advice?”
“Yeah, it’s about Hero Records.”
When Carl heard the words ‘Hero Record’, he looked puzzled for a moment.
“Recently, many items suspected to be fragments of hero records have been discovered within our kingdom. Today, selected items were being moved to the royal palace. As a student at Lumern Academy, you must have come across a lot of hero records, right?”
Prince Deven grinned.
“Please take a look at those items.”
Hero Records are powerful items that can change the landscape of a country just by discovering them.
As such, countless fakes are pouring out.
‘But I can’t refuse a request from a country’s crown prince.’
Carl said, scratching his cheek.
“I hope you don’t trust my eyes that much since I’m still a student.”
“Don’t worry about that part.”
Carl got into Prince Deven’s carriage.
Inside the carriage, Carl found a luxurious box in the middle.
When Prince Deven touched the magically sealed box, a magic circle appeared.
Sweet-!
The box opened with the sound of a lock opening.
Inside were numerous pieces of paper containing mana.
‘As expected, these are things like this.’
Fragments of old grimoires or summoning books containing magical or spiritual power are usually suspected of being hero records.
‘Luna, the progenitor of the nebula? Wow, even the King of Wisdom.’
Carl even found a piece of paper with the great hero’s name written on it and burst into laughter.
‘Well, since there are almost no records of great heroes left, it is difficult to determine the authenticity, so among the forged books in Hero Records, the ones related to great heroes are the most common. There are a lot of things related to the hero of beginning.’
Carl looked through the records and classified those that were clearly fake.
“In my opinion, there is a very high probability that these records are forgeries.”
“Right. “But why wasn’t this excluded?”
Prince Deven held up a piece of paper that had almost burned away.
It was a small piece of paper with ‘Aron’ faintly written on it.
“Usually, records related to great heroes have so many small pieces. Well, actually, it would be better to ask experts rather than me.”
Prince Deven nodded at Carl’s words.
Before I knew it, the carriage had arrived in front of the Plov family.
“If you get the chance, please visit the palace with Sir Leo.”
“Thank you for your hospitality.”
Karl greeted the Crown Prince’s carriage as it left.
“Why did you get off the carriage of our country’s crown prince?”
“Oh! Leo! “Are you spending your vacation well?”
Carl greeted the voice heard from behind.
“I ran into you by chance on the way.”
Leo smiled as he looked at Carl, who shrugged his shoulders, and opened the front door.
“Are you spending your vacation well?”
“so so.”
“What about homework? “Can you at least show me what you did?”
“Do whatever you feel like.”
“Kuh~ After all, there’s only you! friend!”
Carl thanked Leo and walked away.
Leo muttered to himself as he looked at the back of the knife.
‘You probably don’t have time to do your homework, Carl.’
***
“This is the first time since a kid named Chelsea that Leo’s school friend came to visit our house.”
That evening.
Carl was welcomed by Leo’s father, Dade, and Rayna.
“Thank you for your welcome.”
Carl greeted Dade.
“Hey, Carl. Does Leo have any friends in the knight department? “It’s a shame that only children from the Department of Magic come to play.”
Carl said as Reina cupped her cheek and made a sad expression.
“There is a girl named Chen Xia and a girl named Iliana. But don’t you think Leo doesn’t talk about his school life often?”
“huh. “My son doesn’t talk about his friends often.”
Reina asked while taking a taste of her appetite.
“Do you really not have a girlfriend? “She’s the student council president, so I guess she’ll be popular.”
“I don’t have a girlfriend. She is still the most popular boy in second grade. “She gets letters several times a day.”
“Ohh. Ohh.”
Reina’s eyes sparkled.
Carl told us about Leo’s school life.
Leo was just smiling while listening to Carl’s story.
Raina grumbled while looking at that.
“If you just look at him, he really looks like an old man.”
“Please say I’m mature.”
“It’s okay to be an adult to some extent.”
Reina shook her head at Leo’s words.
“Isn’t your nickname at school like Inspiration or something? Hey, Carl. “What is Leo’s nickname at school?”
Raina looked a little excited after hearing about her son’s school.
Carl said calmly.
“The devil.”
“Devil?”
“Yes, the kids call me Demon King Leo because of the force I showed during the midterm exam.”
“How come your nickname is so far from a hero?”
Reina clicked her tongue and said.
“Anyway, you guys are having a hard time too. “It’s vacation and we can’t play and have a retreat.”
Raina, who already knew about the retreat, said.
“Well, it’s nice to be able to build friendships. It’s not something that’s done in a dangerous area, it’s something that’s done in the Plov family’s territory. “There will be clean beds and meals, right?”
‘Looks like he doesn’t know yet.’
As the hostess of the Plov family, Reyna went to the retreat location selected by the Dragon Lord.
And then I saw that banner.
“Hey, Carl.”
“yes?”
“Eat more.”
“Oh, I’m full.”
“no. “Eat as much delicious food as possible.”
Cal felt uneasy as he saw Rayna looking at him pitifully and spoke to Leo next to him.
“Hey, Leo.”
“why?”
“Do you have any idea what a retreat is like? “It’s done in your territory.”
There are many Dragon Lords, and the one who chose the Plov family’s territory among many places is the student council president, so Leo, who is in this class, will have a great influence.
As such, Carl expected that Leo would know something.
In response to Carl’s question, Leo silently placed the main dish on his plate onto Carl’s plate.
Carl saw that and smiled sadly.
‘We’re dead.’
