Edward supports him and explains the situation. After hearing the story, Stephen frowned and asked Reppenhardt.
“May I ask your family name?”
“droughty? “There is nothing like that.”
“… … Were you a commoner?”
I wondered if it was a nobleman from a noble family traveling as a convoy, but it seems he was just a barbarian. Stephen’s expression became even more distorted. It was an impossible shame for a noble knight to receive help from a barbarian.
With shame came confusion. There was no way that a rootless commoner could properly receive the teachings of the great Mu. But they said they defeated the demons they couldn’t handle alone?
‘It looks like we just finished off the demon we killed.’
Stevan glanced at Cilan and grasped the situation. There is no way that young priest boy would have the eyes to see a warrior’s battle properly. Since he almost died and was saved, his clumsy punches and kicks must have looked like a fight. All the demons that appeared after that were probably low-level guys.
In Stevan’s mind, Tagrel had already turned into a demon whom they had almost defeated, as he had not been able to land a single successful attack. When a satisfactory conclusion was reached, Stephen’s expression relaxed.
“It looks like you had some ingenuity. it was helpful.”
Although he was a wandering wild man without roots, it was clear that he received help, so as a knight, he had the generosity to acknowledge the credit.
Of course, Stephen Dane expressed his gratitude, but that was not the case for Reppenhardt, who was listening.
Naturally, the answer became blunt.
“But it looks like that person didn’t have any ingenuity.”
“What?”
Even after hearing the driver’s thanks, I couldn’t be more thrilled, but that’s the kind of attitude! Stephen got angry and put his hand on his waist. And it was a disaster. His sword had flown away when it was hit by Tagrel a little while ago.
While he was hesitating, Sir Edward stepped forward.
“How rude! “Pay respect to the Marquis of Altion!”
“… … .”
Leppenhardt pretended not to hear anything and just opened the beef jerky. He couldn’t even be bothered to care. Although he thought that they might get angry and attack.
‘Anyway, this body can bounce knives, so why?’
Still, Sir Edward was not a man so senseless that he would cut his benefactor. He was quite a proper person.
Sir Edward turned to Stephen and comforted him.
“How can a wild man know proper etiquette? Please be patient.”
The problem is that that case is based on the article.
“Anyway, isn’t it clear that the author helped?”
Groaning, Stephen turned his head. After listening, I realized that Sir Edward was right. After calming down, he decided to ‘forgive’ the wild man in front of him.
“Ignorance is probably not a sin. “Because I have merit, I will generously forgive your rudeness.”
“… … “You say so.”
Stephen got angry again, but Reppenhardt ignored him. To be honest, I wasn’t that angry because I had seen the arrogant knights of noble families do this countless times in my past life. And to put it bluntly… … .
‘Because I was like that when I was young.’
If a very young person is born with talent and people around him praise him, he will inevitably end up like that. Leffenhardt himself was an extremely arrogant person until he grew older and matured. Doesn’t he have the right to blame others?
‘You’ll grow up when you get older.’
Don’t listen. It’s not even your baby, so why do you care? I will live and die like that.
Stevan, perhaps not wanting to deal with Reppenhardt anymore, walked towards Relsia. Sir Edward, on the other hand, continued to show interest in the traveler in front of him. As an experienced knight, he had the insight to recognize that Leppenhardt’s strong body could not be achieved through simple labor alone.
“There is no family line. If so, can you tell me from whom you received the teachings?
“I just learned it as I went along.”
Reppenhardt didn’t bother to hide Gerrard’s name. Gerrard’s reputation is too high. Before he regained his magical powers, it was best to avoid situations that would attract too much attention. And above all… … .
‘I don’t want that person to know my whereabouts!’
Perhaps the author, Master, said, ‘Disciple! They might come to you and say, ‘I’ve developed a new training method!’ Perhaps because he went through so much, Leppenhardt’s dislike of Gerrard had almost reached the level of paranoia.
“Still, it’s too much for something like that…” … .”
“Ah, why don’t you just stop worrying and take care of the injured? “Aren’t they more in a hurry now?”
Reppenhardt became annoyed and stopped talking and waved his hand. The two surviving knights were already unconscious. Silan was working hard on his healing skills, but he was still unconscious.
“That’s right. “Thank you Bio once again for your help in the name of Altion.”
Without further ado, Sir Edward placed his hand on his heart to show courtesy. Then he stepped aside and looked at Reppenhardt with suspicious eyes.
Slowly, he also felt that this young traveler was treating them, the knights, with informal language. But he didn’t feel like pointing out anything.
‘It’s so natural.’
Once he reveals his magic, his tone is incredibly arrogant. Moreover, he doesn’t seem to be aware that his tone of voice is arrogant. Does he look like Stephen? This is a habit that I developed naturally as I was in a high position and was in charge of subordinates.
‘But can a young man be that arrogant?’
Even Stephen is anti-communist to Sir Edward. First of all, because I am old.
However, that guy is talking rudely to Edward, who is in his early 20s and over 40. If you ignore your age, you’re either a really bad person… … .
‘Maybe I’ll become a member of another country’s royal family.’
Either way, dealing with them is just tiring. At least it was clear that that young man was strong enough to deal with a demon that even they could not handle, so there was no benefit in turning him into an enemy in the current situation. Unlike Stephen, Sir Edward had quite a grasp of the subject.
‘But that tone of voice is more than arrogant… … .’
Okay, I think I know what it is. That’s the way you speak towards someone younger than you.
He is an amazing person. With new eyes, Edward looked at Reppenhardt’s back as he was eating beef jerky.
☆ ☆ ☆
Thanks to Silan’s sweating and using healing techniques, the knights slowly came to their senses. The knights had tears in their eyes as they thought about their dead comrades.
“You’re safe! Good luck, Prince Stephen!”
“Ugh! Sir Berto is dead!”
“You dirty demons!”
Seeing the sad knights, Stephen comforts and encourages his subordinates.
“Don’t be sad. They fought and died like knights. Ares will remember their bravery, and their souls will be saved. Additionally, their courage will be remembered by the Marquis of Altion for all eternity. They are dead, but the knight’s honor will live forever.”
The atmosphere became solemn as the lord comforted him.
“Go, Confucius!”
“I understand, huh, huh!”
The surviving knights gathered together and prayed to Ares, the god of battle, and comforted the souls of the dead. Todd, who came to his senses belatedly, sighed and fell into his meditation, refilling his magic power. An overall gloomy atmosphere filled the stone room.
‘Uhm… … .’

Silan was looking around, not knowing what to do. After using up all the healing liquor, he had nothing to do. If he had been a priest of the main deity Sayer or the fighting god Ares, he would have presided over a service there and held a mass to honor the souls of the dead knights, but Silan was a priest who served Philanense, the goddess of love, beauty, and mercy. She has nothing to do in the face of the death of a warrior, even if it is the death of a woman.
‘But it’s also strange that we should be caught in the middle and grieve together.’
It’s a bit weird to be so nonchalant when someone dies, but Silan wasn’t particularly impressed by the deaths of those knights. Because of my job, I had seen a lot of people die and I wasn’t even that close to them. It would be a different story if the dead were followers of Philanense, but knights usually serve Ares, the god of battle.
And he had someone he was very interested in and was just waiting for an opportunity to talk to him. Cilan sneakily approached Reppenhardt.
“Hey, you said it was Mr. Leffen, right?”
“huh? why?”
Seeing Silan suddenly approaching and asking a question, Reppenhardt took a step back without realizing it. I was already a guy who was reluctant because of that strange feeling from before.
‘Why is he acting so friendly all of a sudden?’
Cilan looked up at Reppenhardt and asked with bright eyes.
“How tall are you?”
“Maybe it’s around 192…” … .”
“What about your weight?”
“Well, I didn’t measure it properly, so it’s… … .”
Um, maybe around 110 to 120? If you roughly lift something like a rock, you will get a rough feel for your weight while maintaining your body balance. Although he didn’t look fat at all on the outside, his body was much heavier than it looked due to his sturdy muscles.
‘Wow, it’s my body, but it’s really ugly.’
Once I put it into numbers, it felt real. It weighs over 0.1 tons! It doesn’t feel like human weight for some reason, does it? This is close to twice the size of my previous body.
“What kind of training did you do to create such a body?”
“just… … “I got hit a lot, ate a lot, and heard a lot?”
It was an honest and straightforward answer that penetrated the truth, but Cilan looked disappointed.
“As expected, I heard that warriors do not carelessly disclose their training methods to the outside world… … .”
There seemed to be some misunderstanding, but I didn’t feel like correcting it. Leffenhardt stood up. Now that we’ve roughly rescued the kids, it’s time to achieve the purpose we came here for.
‘You have to make money, money!’
Only then can you bring the lovely Siris. Leffenhardt stood up from his seat with wide eyes. Of course, on the outside, he had a very serious expression.
“Then I will scout the exit and come.”
Then most of the knights looked at Reppenhardt with admiring eyes. You volunteer to take on the dangerous role of scout for your comrades in this dangerous demon cave! Even though he comes from a lowly background, doesn’t he know quite a bit about the duties of a knight?
Silan stood up with a smile on his face.
“Then I’ll go with you!”
“What if something happens and someone gets injured here?”
Silan fell down again in despair at his indifferent response. But it wasn’t wrong. Healers should stay at the base and not follow scouts. Of course, Repenhardt was planning to rob the dungeon without their knowledge, so he thought it would be difficult if someone followed him.
At that time, Stephen stood up.
“I will go, Relsia, help them here.”
“Yes, master.”
The elf woman bows her head politely. Stevan glared at Reppenhardt.
“It won’t be a problem, right?”
‘Why does he suddenly want to follow me?’
Reppenhardt clicked his tongue inwardly. But I can’t think of any excuse to stop Stephen here. He scratched his head and then turned away, giving a cursory reply.
“Well, whatever you like.”

The reason why Stevan followed Reppenhardt out was not for some proud reason, such as offering to help since scouting alone could be dangerous, or taking the lead in a dangerous place as a person in charge of his subordinates.
‘I can’t admit that I got help from a wild man!’
No matter how coincidental it may be, it cannot erase the fact that he received help from a person of humble origin. If this passes without incident, the wild man will think that he really helped the knight. The fact that he goes out scouting alone without even knowing the subject proves how much he looks down on the knights.
It was already annoying that humans had turned so arrogant. However, he was a proper knight, and it was not knightly to punish that guy directly for his rudeness. So I followed. I was planning to save that guy who was struggling with the devil and help him understand the subject.
Stevan, holding the sword (he had brought a spare sword that Sir Edward had brought with him), kept repeating to himself:
‘Come on, any devil, come out! ‘I’ll kill you quickly.’
Of course, Reppenhardt had no idea what Stephen was thinking. To be precise, he wasn’t even interested.
I just followed my old memories and searched for a profitable stone room.
Move carefully through the dark passage while holding a torch. Then, suddenly, Reppenhardt’s expression brightened.
‘oh! ‘There you are!’
You can see a half-collapsed dark room on the left side of the passage. And I saw monsters creeping out from there. Stephen smiled happily and took a sword fighting stance.
“You’re out!”
I’ll show you the brilliant swordsmanship of the Alteon family! Stephen was just about to throw himself away.
puck!
A strong shock hit the back of my neck and I immediately lost consciousness.
‘W-what is it?’
