Episode 26
-Please come sometime. I will wait.
I received an invitation from Lord Brown. This was my first time doing something like this, so I had no idea what to do.
‘I guess I should bring a gift, but what happened to Lord Brown’s family?’
Louis de Hebron had no knowledge of Brown’s personal affairs. He was a loyal knight. That was enough.
I had no choice but to pack a bouquet of flowers and head to Brown’s house. I remembered hearing that he had a wife.
Brown’s residence was a little way from the manor house. It was not that far away, but I felt sorry that I had not looked into it until now.
Mr. and Mrs. Brown were waiting for me in front of the house.
“It is an honor to your family, Lord Hebron.”
“I am honored to meet you, Madam. Lord Brown has hidden the flowers in such a place. If I had known this would happen, I would have prepared a different gift.”
He recited a passage from a knight’s novel, and since he was now used to this kind of speech, he didn’t even blush.
It was true that Lord Brown’s wife was a beauty.
He was in his mid-30s and was relatively thin.
The house was shabby.
The house was so empty that I wondered what would have happened if I hadn’t brought flowers. There was only a bed, a table, and three chairs in a large room.
Brown offered me a makeshift chair with a tea table on it.
The chair was upholstered in purple leather.
“Thank you for accepting the invitation, my lord. I’ve always wanted to treat you to a meal sometime.”
“Thank you. This is my first invitation.”
“I’m sorry. I should have been more careful.”
“No. Sir Brown always takes an extra care of me. I am always grateful for that.”
The Browns seemed quite moved by my words.
I glanced around the dreary house.
“Do you have any other family?”
“Yes, the two of us live quietly.”
“The child… … .”
I thought, “Oh no.” It was because their expressions had become cloudy.
Brown was 38, and his wife looked slightly younger.
I thought it was too early to give up.
“Can I take a look?”
“yes?”
“Give me your hand.”
Since Zeno’s royal family and nobles ignored medicine, there were no proper doctors or medical books, and only folk remedies and word-of-mouth were passed around.
I was very interested in medicine.
He also knew more about the dragon’s breath than anyone else. He used his own body as a test subject and practiced medicine to overcome the toxicity of the dragon’s breath.
After skimming through the ancient medical books, I began to pride myself on being the best doctor in the Kingdom of Zeno.
I grabbed Brown’s wrist.
They say that in ancient times, you could check the condition of someone’s body by feeling their pulse, and I was able to imitate that, however clumsily.
‘Brown’s veins are strong.’
Due to the influence of the Antaria Aura training method, I was able to feel the aura flowing along the veins. If I invested a little more time and observed, I was able to precisely sense the aura flowing within the opponent’s body.
At that moment, my eyebrows furrowed. My head tilted.
“Didn’t you say you learned the Hebron Ora method?”
“Yes.”
“But why is it like this? The Hebron training method shouldn’t be this messed up.”
“I’m sorry. My abilities are lacking… … .”
Brown seemed to have learned the Hebron Ora method incorrectly. Although the Hebron Ora method was passed down through the two centuries and was a mere shell, it was not so messed up as to harm the knight.
Occasionally, side effects would occur among knights who learned the Ora method without a master. I wondered if Brown was one of those cases.
“Since when has it been like this?”
“I don’t know what you are talking about.”
I shook my head.
It was clear that Brown had no idea what was going on with my body.
“Do you have a backyard?”
“There is an empty lot that we use as a training ground.”
“Go out.”
I got up from my seat.
Steam was rising from the warm stew that my wife brought out.
“Excuse me for a moment. I’ll go and eat some food later. I think it’s better to fix this person first.”
“Does this tooth hurt?”
“I’m sorry, but don’t worry. I will definitely fix it.”
The woman looked back at Brown with a worried face.
We went out into the open space outside the house. Brown’s house was located far from the surrounding houses. It was a privilege of a knight.
“… … I might get pregnant.”
“What do you mean?”
“I saw it in the book.”
Brown was skeptical.
He must have tried very hard to have a child. It was almost impossible to increase the chances of pregnancy with folk remedies, but there must have been a time when he relied on such methods.
‘I should have looked into it more closely.’
Although it is a personal matter, Brown was my knight and swordsmanship teacher.

Brown taught me with sincerity, perhaps to the point of being excessive, but now I think I understand why.
Brown, who had no children, treated me like a son.
‘It must be fixed.’
Brown’s lower abdomen was completely blocked. After decades of repeating the wrong aura training method, some of the veins in his lower body had hardened.
“We need to change the seniority system.”
“How should I do the training method you taught me before?”
“Forget it.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Brown learned the basics of Braio swordsmanship in the Hebron Aura training method. He had been training in the Hebron Aura training method for so long that he did not feel the need to teach other training methods.
I just modified the training method a little to suit him.
“This is a good exercise method for training the lower body.”
I chose the Sardia Aura training method.
He taught the Hebron Ora training method, which was a combination of the Sardia Ora training method and the Hebron slave soldier. He also taught the Sardia swordsmanship in a modified form.
Thanks to this, the slave soldiers’ lower bodies became stronger. They still train their physical strength by moving around the forest.
I taught Brown a slightly modified version of the Sardia Aura training method. Since there were cases where people hurt themselves when trying to force a new training method, I placed my hands on his body and observed the flow of the aura.
“Feel my fingers and send your aura to that point.”
Brown didn’t answer. He only nodded slightly.
‘It’s fortunate that you understand quickly.’
Brown learned the Sardia Ora method without difficulty, as the new method did not conflict with the Hebron Ora method.
Brown sat down and sweated profusely. As I swept the aura in the way I had taught him, a foul odor came from his body. As the aura was transmitted to the veins that were not normally used, his body began to flush out waste.
‘You’re so tired.’
Brown’s chronic fatigue was also cured.
But that wasn’t important right now.
“Focus on your lower body. Your aura isn’t being transmitted properly.”
Part of the meridian leading from Brown’s dantian to his lower body was blocked. It had to be opened by force.
No, even if you didn’t try hard, you would receive strong stimulation from the Sardia Aura training method.
As expected, Brown was drenched in sweat as if he had been dropped in the middle of a desert. His clothes clung to his body, revealing the curves of his muscles.
“Don’t give up. It’s for the sake of the second generation.”
I wanted to repay Brown. He took care of me like a child, so that a talentless Louis de Hebron could at least have the basics.
No, that aside, in both my lives, no one has taught me as wholeheartedly as Brown.
I was with Brown too.
I completely forgot about the passage of time and just waited for his danjeon to open wide.
“omg!”
Brown sucked in the air.
After knocking and knocking, one of the waterways opened. As soon as one path opened, the other paths also opened their gates as if they had been waiting for it.
“This, this, this feeling!”
Brown jumped up from his seat. He had come to eat lunch, but the sky had already become dark.
Brown’s lower body was embarrassingly lively.
He turned to his wife with a big smile, and she dropped the basket she was holding with tears in her eyes.
Freshly baked bread fell and rolled around on the floor.
I picked up the bread that had fallen on the ground, took a bite, and asked my wife.
“Can I check on your wife? Infertility may not be a problem of just one side.”
“Please.”
Brown’s wife was of a cold constitution.
The most certain, if not the best, way was to awaken her fire attribute aura. But she was not a knight.
“Please bring me a pen and paper.”
Mrs. Brown brought a pen and paper, then ran to her husband and dried him with a towel.
While Brown cooled himself down by dousing me with cold water, I wrote down the prescription.
“Boil the herbs I have written down and drink one cup in the morning and evening. If you take too much of a medicine that is good for your body, it can actually be poisonous. So, you should only take the amount I have written down.”
“I will do exactly as it is written here, my lord.”
The woman who observed Brown’s transformation showed infinite trust in me.
“brown.”
“insect!”
“I’m on vacation for a week.”
The two people held hands tightly.
That was all I could do to help. There was a chance that the two of them might not have children.
What happened next was known only to heaven.
I didn’t believe in God. I never did before, and I still don’t. But this time, I wanted to ask God.
‘If there is a God, please grant me a favor. Please grant that couple a child.’
“Madam, we’ll have to eat another meal some other time.”
“Take a look, my lord.”
My wife didn’t catch me.
Brown tried to call me over, but was led into the house by his wife’s hand.
I left there in a hurry.

The Zielsons bought a building in a prime location in the bustling commercial district. It was a moderately sized commercial building, and it was said to have been used as a general store before.
Even before the interior design began, a large sign was put up in front of the building.
-Hebron, a masterpiece created by the Baron.
The Hebron logo was added next to the sign, making it quite noticeable even from a distance.
Even in the yard of the castle of Zielson, a small sign for Hebron could be seen. The Count looked down at the sign through the window and said:
“It was true.”
When he said he would open a clothing store in the bustling area of the Jayleson Barony, Jayleson was skeptical. This was because the surrounding lords were paying attention to Hebron’s actions after taking over the Barony of Nurha.
The Baronship of Hebron was at a point where it had to grow by swallowing up the surrounding territories. But even I could not have predicted that its first external activity would be opening a clothing store.
“There is no reason to lie.”
“You rich man surprise me in many ways.”
“I hope this will surprise you too, Your Majesty.”
I held out a long wooden box to Count Zielson.
When I opened the box lid, the prosthetic limb was found wrapped in clean rags.
“Is this the bridge of Varyan you mentioned earlier?”
“Yes, it is exactly as it is written there. If there is anything inconvenient, Varyan will fix it.”
“I heard that Baryan left the capital.”
Viscount Zielson had also visited Varyan.
His younger brother was adamant that he would not wear prosthetic legs, but he could not just watch his younger brother fall off the horse so often.
“I came to Hebron.”
