The Returned Sword King Decided to Become a Tyrant Chapter 157
Daily Recovery (2)
After the Magic Tower began producing its own magical raw materials.
Esteban’s Kingdom Tower also expanded into the field of alchemy.
From making elixirs to improving potions.
It has once again begun to develop in its own direction.
This may be surprising, considering that Esteban’s magics were originally extremely limited.
And the wizard in charge of developing such alchemy field opened his eyes wide and questioned the unexpected request.
“… …Are you talking about a drug that can promote animal growth?”
“okay.”
I nodded to the Baron and his party who had followed me to the rooftop.
To be exact, it was directed at Roel, who was hiding behind it, and the griffon in his arms.
The wizard’s eyes blinked twice.
“Have there been any newly hatched griffons this time?”
“They hatched later than scheduled, but they were born around the same time.”
“… … It’s small.”
“That’s the problem.”
The Griffin’s enormous growth rate had long been known to the Magic Tower.
So even the wizard knew that it was abnormally large for even a child to hold in his arms.
“Hmm… … .”
The wizard scratched his head in thought, then reached out to the griffon.
Whether it’s growth promotion or not, shouldn’t you know the condition first before doing anything?
However, the griffon that had been gently held in Roel’s arms glared and pecked at the wizard’s hand as soon as it approached.
Peep!
Cook cook-!
“Eww!”
The wizard was startled and grabbed the back of his hand.
Then he looked back and forth between me and Roel and muttered blankly.
“Oh, how alert you are. How on earth is that kid doing that?”
I shrugged.
Even though he looks like that, he is actually a griffon, known as the king of the sky… … .
Even for me, it’s just amazing to see her being held so gently.
“Ahem… … ! For now, I understand what Your Majesty is saying.”
The wizard coughed awkwardly.
Then, he quickly went through the shelves in his lab and took out a flask containing a yellow liquid.
“I don’t know if it will work on griffons, but try feeding them this for now.”
“What is this?”
“It is a type of nutritional supplement produced for livestock.”
I see.
I took the flask and shook it to check the liquid inside.
There were some side effects because it hatched later than scheduled, but there must have been a reason for it being born late.
To put it simply, it means that his health was not good from the beginning.
This means that the causal relationship of the side effects is wrong. So the wizard would have given a nutritional supplement rather than making a new medicine.
‘This might not be a bad solution.’
“Let’s try feeding it first.”
“Yes, I understand. It’s not a special material, so there won’t be any major side effects, so don’t worry.”
Swish-
As I was taking my supplements, I heard a giggling voice behind me.
“I have a bad feeling about this.”
“… … .”
It is absolutely necessary to strike even in a situation like this.
… … It was George.
But didn’t they say that uneasy premonitions are not wrong?
As expected, the incident occurred less than an hour after taking the supplement.
“This, this is… … .”
The Baron trembled with his eyebrows, unable to continue speaking.
That’s understandable, since Griffin had been growing noticeably since he started taking the supplement.
If there’s a problem though.
Peep!
“… … .”
“What the heck? You’ve gotten chubby since I last saw you.”
… … It was not growing up and down, but only growing sideways.
Everything else was fine, but my belly fat was growing.
It is also at an abnormally fat level.
“… … Chicken, it’s heavy.”
Roel grumbled and put down the griffon he was holding.
Peep?!

Then the griffon let out a loud whine and flapped its wings to fly into Roel’s arms.
Of course, there was no way that the heavy body could fly properly.
“What, what should I do with this?”
The Baron looked at me in bewilderment and asked me:
And I answered with a shrug.
It wasn’t like I had any choice.
But George seemed to have a solution.
“But since it’s come to this, how about we actually eat it?”
“That’s not so bad.”
“Hey, George!”
Bam! Bam!
Knock knock knock!
“Hey, this thing looks so full, like a chicken leg!”
Peep!!
Eventually, the guy was able to escape Beak’s attacks only after his expensive suit legs were ripped open.
It was quite a high price to pay for a one-time joke.
“Huh, huff… … Let’s just leave it like this and let them figure it out on their own.”
“That’s not right.”
“yes?”
I firmly dismissed George’s words, holding my leg.
The eyes that looked at the griffon were eerily expressionless.
“The reason I decided to raise him in the palace was because I thought he would be useful in some way.”
Whether it’s to help raise the griffons sent to the Galder Plains for research purposes or to further raise them yourself, finding use for them beyond the carrier pigeons.
Basically, the motivation for breeding was ‘usefulness’, not charity.
But what does it look like now?”
“If it’s not going to be of any use, is there any reason to raise it in the palace?”
“Well, that’s true.”
“There is no reason to waste a fortune on something like a pet.”
waste.
If you can’t find any use for him, then it’s nothing more, nothing less.
Especially now that dark clouds are gathering, we cannot afford to waste even a single penny of our budget.
I looked at Roel, who was wrestling with the griffon without knowing anything, and muttered quietly.
“We have to find some use for it somehow.”
“You are very thorough in this regard.”
… … Well, I guess you could call it cool-headed.
“For now, let’s try to make it useful rather than just edible.”
George shrugged and continued.
“A good idea just occurred to me.
* * *
So Griffin.
… … The chicken was left in George’s care.
He did cause a little trouble, perhaps because he didn’t want to be left in the hands of someone other than Roel.
When he looked into my cold eyes, he quickly calmed down.
And Roel was following me closely, following my schedule.
He headed to the training ground to test his skills.
“There must have been progress.”
“……huh.”
The fighting spirit that confronts.
It seemed as if the time up until now had not been in vain, as the pointed tip of the rapier blade did not tremble as it had at first.
It would have been natural, since he could easily carry around a griffon as big as his own body.
I liked that look, so I raised the corners of my lips and said.
“Then what about swordsmanship?”
No matter how talented you are, swordsmanship isn’t something you can master in a year or two.
Especially in the case of Roel, whose physical abilities were overwhelmingly lacking.
That’s why I sent him to fight in this civil war.
‘There is no better teacher than the murderous will of war.’
An efficient trajectory that you feel while killing your opponent.
And efficient movement.
Only when these are naturally incorporated into one’s gestures can the most basic framework for handling weapons be completed.
I heard that you made some contributions to defending the walls?
Even though it was not known to the world because it was hidden as an artifact, it must be certain because it was heard through the Second Knights.
‘I’m looking forward to it.’
I signaled the start by snapping my fingertips.
And then Roel’s small body disappeared from sight for a moment.
“… … .”
visor!
… … A quick lunge, followed by a side lunge.
So is the next step a retreat to correct the broken posture?
I swung my rapier and anticipated the guy’s next move.
But even after confirming that it had been struck down helplessly, the guy did not panic and began to draw up his mana even more strongly.
Then, Roel’s arm bent with the repulsive force of mana and naturally rushed forward for the next attack.
After freely drawing out the body’s strength, the movement of the arm that was thrown out was restrained.
Woohoo!
“Hoo.”
Swish- swish-!
The next two stabs were like a whirlwind.
Once for each neck. Then again into the air, predicting the direction of evasion.
Because it was an attack that came from a low orbit that was out of sight using a small key, even a skilled knight would have to allow a second attack if he panicked.
But I broke it with a slight movement of my head.
“The movement was decent, but the ability to create an opening is still lacking.”
Swish!
The turquoise blade slashed at the delicate neck.
As before, Roel instantly raised his mana and forced his body, which had not been able to correct itself, to move.
That was the moment.
“… … !”
Swish!
The sword that she thought was aimed at her neck was now aimed straight at the direction she was moving.
It happened almost in the blink of an eye.
The sword was thrust towards my neck. And then, predicting the direction I would dodge, I was stabbed once more.
……no.
Perhaps, in a split second, without even realizing it, two sword strikes had already been struck ‘simultaneously’.
“Keep this in mind.”
“… … .”
The black Roel that had approached in an instant stopped in front of his eyes.
That distance, which may seem precarious, is, above all, a safe distance.
I slowly retrieved my sword while looking at Roel, who was just blinking blankly.
“If you want to create a gap, you have to know how to distribute the truth and the falsehood appropriately.
“……huh.”
“It wasn’t bad.”
He stroked her hair, which had now grown quite long.
Whether it felt good or not, Roel closed his eyes and enjoyed the gentle approaching sensation.
‘That’s pretty good.’
Of course, I didn’t say anything empty.
Quite the opposite.
Movements and sensations that have grown explosively unlike before.
Because the form in which the unique power of magical amplification was honed and incorporated into swordsmanship was truly what I had hoped for.
It must have taken countless efforts to reveal this direction.
‘If I grow a little more, I will be able to fight against a knight of the Sword Expert level.’
It was at that time that I was expressing such satisfaction inside.
“Oh, is the sparring over? You arrived at a good time.”
Baron Vidor entered the training grounds holding something in his hand.
I nodded, looking at the object in the Baron’s hand.
“It’s a wind stone.”
“Yes, that’s right. The Lord of the Tower has personally been to Arendelle.”
In Arendelle, they offered various items, including gold mines, in exchange for providing the formula.
And the magic stone that contains the wind attribute is one of the things I decided to provide.
He said he just received it.
“But the items were already ready.”
“It seems that they were probably saving it up from the beginning with the intention of sending it to Esteban. They recently bought it in large quantities in Esteban.” “… … I see.”
There was no other reason why I bought it from Esteban.
For the griffons being raised in the Galder Plains.
To be precise, it was to make it easier to hatch the eggs they would lay.
However, it seemed that Arendelle had seen it and hurriedly gathered supplies.
“It’s a precious item, so the more the better.”
“He asked me to convey that I was sorry that I had to repay him in this way.”
“I guess I’ll have to send a message from here too.”
He nodded at the unexpected harvest and put away his sword.
And that was the moment.
bang!!
“Huh?!”
An explosion was heard from somewhere in the palace.
Baron Vidor, bewildered, looked in the direction where the explosion had come from… … .
“Excuse me, that’s where the wind stone came from?”
I opened my eyes wide and looked at the place where smoke was rising.
