High-quality human resources available on the cheap.
To Elric, Wolyoung meant something like that.
The combined strength of each of them is not even close to their own, and their past is not very clean, but does that really matter?
To be honest, Elric was of the opinion that using all the tools available to him was beneficial to his personality and mindset.
Moreover, because of their dirty past and because they were assassins, it was even more appealing.
‘It will be a more reliable defense against assassination threats against your wife.’
It was a very what if.
If someone wanted to assassinate Tyria, and if they were not there, there would be no one who could protect her better than these people.
This is how today’s position was created.
“Madam, these are the articles that will be brought into the territory.”
Elric returned to Portman’s mansion and introduced Wolyoung to Tyria.
Wolyoung was all roughly dressed in leather armor.
“See you, Madam.”
As Danal lowered his head, Tyria asked, looking quite surprised.
“You already saved me. That’s five each… .”
Is it burdensome?
There was a small hesitation in her attitude.
Anyway, it was an understandable attitude.
‘I guess I expected one or two people.’
She was a woman who put a lot of effort into allocating her budget, so such excessive spending would come as a burden.
Elric said.
“They say it’s okay to get less money. “All of these people are free knights, but it doesn’t mean they need a place to settle down.”
“… Is that so?”
There was doubt in her eyes.
Elric fired a deadly shot at Danal’s waist.
The meaning was to try something, and Danal was faithful to that.
“Greetings! Dinan, a free knight from the West! “I came all this way to be loyal to my lord and madam!”
thud!
The sight of him kneeling down and shouting was clearly that of a trustworthy knight.
The physique is thin, but that’s something that can be tolerated.
No, it’s actually good.
If he had a good physique, Tyria’s suspicions would have deepened.
“… “She’s Portman’s mistress.”
Tyria said this and was shocked as she looked at Danal.
My eyes narrowed. Not only that, but he also started making a ‘hum’ sound.
Suddenly, Elric’s body shook.
“Haha, why are you like that… ?”
This is how thieves get off their feet.
As Elric was extremely nervous due to his heart pounding loudly, Tyria gave him an answer.
“no. “It just seems like a familiar face.”
“Yes?”
slap! Elric’s head turned towards Danal.
Danal shook his head, shaking his eyes from side to side.
He seemed to be protesting because it was his first time meeting today.
Is something wrong?
It was a moment of thought.
“ah.”
Tyria’s eyes opened wide.
“I was wondering where I saw him, and he looked like the person who helped me decorate in the capital.”
“Achachaaaaa!!!”
Day after day, I shouted with a voice full of spirit.
And good! She slapped her forehead with the palm of her hand and drew a long smile that threatened to tear her apart.
“This has been caught!”
“Uh, um?”
“That girl Darcy is my sister! In fact, it was through that child that I met the lord! Isn’t that right, Youngjuniyim!!!”
Elric nodded his head unconsciously at the exaggerated voice.
“Oh, that’s right… !”
“I can’t tell you how fortunate I am to have been able to meet such a benefactor thanks to my younger sister! But do I look that much like her sister?”
“Well, my height and facial features are a bit… .”
“Hahaha! Yes, ever since I was little, I have been very upset about Darcy’s height! So, I started learning makeup techniques and this is where I ended up! “Wow, I can’t tell you how proud I am to see that child succeeding enough to be in charge of dressing up nobles!”
Elric was greatly impressed at that moment.
‘Experts are different after all!’
An expert in lies, an expert in disguise, an expert in excuses!
As expected, it was an assassin’s improvisation.
Elric’s trust in Danal was growing a little more.
“anyway! Please take care of me!”
thud!
Let’s kneel day after day,

“Please take care of me!!!”
Kugoogung!
The subordinates who were standing behind also slammed their knees hard as if they would break all their knee joints.
Elric and Tyria’s gaze collided.
Elric grinned.
“Isn’t it trustworthy?”
“… Yes, it is truly reliable.”
A subtle tremor.
Tyria didn’t seem to trust them very much.
*
Whatever it was, ultimately the recruitment was successful.
Wolyeong’s contract was confirmed in writing, and all that remained was the investiture ceremony of these knights and some preparations for it.
“You did a good job. “The improvisation was also good.”
Elric happily praised Wolyoung.
Danal bowed his head deeply and responded.
“It’s all thanks to the elder’s grace.”
“Haha, but what did I do?”
“That’s right.”
“hmm?”
“… it’s nothing.”
Did I hear it wrong?
Elric said, picking his ears.
“First of all, I’ll have to prepare a full plate before the investiture ceremony. I won’t go far… “Yes, there is a craftsman in Wibin who knows how to make armor, so let’s go find him.”
Elric felt a strange sense of welcome even as he spoke.
Old Man Herman of the blacksmith was the person who was in charge of the armor of Sir Zig, the last knight of Wibin.
When Elric was young, whenever he had time, he would spend his days visiting his blacksmith shop and admiring the armor he had made. Suddenly, he remembered that time.
-You bastard, your armor is wearing out.
-What’s wrong? I’m looking at the armor I will wear later.
-What kind of armor are you going to wear? Did the knight look so easy?
-I can do it. Because you are so talented!
-Who said that?
-Master!
-What the hell does that bandit know?
He was an old man who mostly grumbled, but when he thought about it again, there were few people who treated him as kindly as Herman.
-Eat this. The bakery, Mern, baked it for me.
-What is it, salt bread? I’m sick of this.
-If you give it to them, they will keep their mouths shut and eat it, but there are a lot of arguments!
Elric felt a giggle come out as he thought of him.
From what I heard, the blacksmith shop is still in operation in the same location.
“Then let’s leave.”
Elric went straight out with his cane.
Hop on the carriage and ride for about 20 minutes.
As I entered the village through the wheat fields and left the outskirts, I immediately saw a shabby blacksmith shop.
Kang-!
Kang-!
The sound of metal striking was pleasant.
“Is it over there?”
Danal asked suspiciously, and Elric answered right away.
“Your skills are certain. “There is no one else around here who has made more armor than you.”
While speaking, Elric entered the blacksmith shop.
“Old Herman!”
Then the metal sound stopped.
“Yes?”
An old, grayish voice rang out.
Soon, a large, clumsy old man came out of the blacksmith shop.
An old man with copper-colored skin, with a dirty beard and black charcoal marks all over his body.
Old Herman’s eyes widened.
“kid?”
“It’s been a while. “I came here too late.”
“No, is it that kid? “Come here and see!”
When Old Herman told him to come, he personally approached him and touched various parts of Elric’s body.
Elric chuckled.
It was because old Herman was still taller than him.
This was easily over 2 meters.
“Even though I’ve grown so much, I’m still shorter than you.”
“Huh… !”
A sigh flowed from Herman’s mouth.
“This ugly guy came back alive and well… !”
Even though he spoke as if he wanted to die, his eyes were full of warmth.
He hugged Elric.
“I came back well. “Welcome back!”
Elric suddenly felt a stinging sensation at the tip of his nose.
“I’m glad you saw the correction.”
“Yes, you speak more like an old man.”
“It’s because of circumstances.”
“It’s a bountiful harvest.”
It was a happy reunion.
*
Old Herman’s blacksmith shop was just as Elric remembered.
An anvil and a furnace, and a workroom and dining table a little distance away.
Elric sat down at the table and spoke to Herman.
“I am now the lord of this place.”
“You made such a fuss about becoming a knight, but you ended up being a lord.”
Do you feel a little bit regretful?
Elric smiled softly.
“What can I do when things have turned out that way? Should I say ministers, I recruited Ichi as my knight. “So I needed someone to make armor, so I looked for inspiration.”
Herman’s gaze turned to Wolyoung.
The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at their physiques and spoke in a slightly dissatisfied voice.
“Why do you have such a physique? “Are you sure you chose well?”
“… “Even though I’m like this, my mana is still a little bitter?”
Danal said in tears.
Herman snorted.
“For a knight, a healthy body comes first. Why are you relying on mana? Hey, are you sure you chose them well?”
“That’s right, so don’t worry. “Even though I’m like this, I still have some eyes for people.”
“If that’s you, I won’t stop you… .”
Old Herman said this and licked his lips and looked at Wolyoung again.
It was that moment.
“grandfather! I’m here… .”
A young voice echoed throughout the blacksmith shop.
Elric turned his head to identify the owner of the voice.
At that moment, it stiffened.
“uh! “Brother Elric!”
“Our grandson is here! Boy, do you remember? “The child who was four years old when you left has grown up like that.”
Herman’s grandson Veron.
The child was only 4 years old when he left.
Now 15 years old.
Information has been entered.
But that was it.
Even though it was a happy face, I couldn’t help but smile.
Of course, I couldn’t say hello.
It wasn’t a problem with Veron itself.
-Kasha!!!
A child soldier was overlapping Veron’s face.
“… Hey guy, why are you doing this?”
Elric’s breathing became a little heavier.
