“Alright, everyone, eat. … … Well, Iniya, if you want to eat it, you can eat it too?”
A plate of food was spread out on the mat. It was originally meant to be a sparring match between Auror users, but it turned into something of a picnic atmosphere.
Iniya and Siris looked at each other and smiled in a friendly atmosphere.
“You’re good at cooking, Mr. Iniya.”
“Miss Siris, ho ho ho.”
The corners of both people’s mouths were smiling, but their eyes were somehow playing with each other.
“… … “It’s kind of cold.”
Tashid, who has good senses even though he lacks tact, muttered absentmindedly.
“… … “It’s my mood.”
With the eyes of a wise man observing everything, Atilka answered lazily.
‘Anyone, fighting!’
Cilan was just cheering irresponsibly.
“Ha-am, I’m sleepy… … .”
Titima just yawned without thinking.
Anyway, it was true that it was a leisurely atmosphere.
bang! bang! Kwakwakwak!
… … If you ignore the fact that a loud explosion continues to sound right next to you.
☆ ☆ ☆
After a while, Reppenhardt and Russ came up to the mat, covered in sweat. Reppenhardt exclaimed as he looked at the food spread out on top.
“Oh, what kind of feast is this?”
I had already been sparring all morning, so I wasn’t hungry as usual. Reppenhardt hurriedly stuffed the bread into his mouth. muttered Iniya, crossing his fingers.
“I brought a sandwich too… … .”
Of course, Jim Unbreakable’s grand camouflage is more than enough to accommodate both women’s lunch boxes. Repenhardt even put Iniya’s sandwich in his mouth and chewed it.
I chew it, swallow it, and gulp it down.
Siris frowned slightly at the truly exciting sight of the meal. It’s a complaint I’ve had for a long time, but Reppenhardt has a habit of eating excessively.
‘No, you said you used to be an elegant wizard, but where have all your habits gone?’
Well, if anyone lives under Jim Unbreakable for about 4 years, it’s bound to end up like that.
On the other hand, Iniya had a dreamy look and her cheeks were blushing.
‘Ah, the way he eats is so manly!’
As he continued eating, Leffenhardt reviewed today’s sparring. Today, in addition to Russ, he competed in martial arts with Iniya, Atilka, and Tashid. And he was able to gain the upper hand in all those battles.
‘Your skills have definitely improved.’
Even if we exclude the fact that 6 stacks are a beast(?), just by awakening the 5 stacks of Calamity Soul, all physical abilities and auror capacity have increased significantly.
In the past, it felt quite daunting to deal with Iniya or Atilka, let alone Tashid or Russ. Especially in the case of Atilka, it was difficult for him to fight three times and win once with just his pure martial arts skills. Atilca’s power was so high that a close fight was barely possible without using his magic as well.
But now, they were able to gain some upper hand even without magic. At this level, it can truly be said to be a huge step forward.
‘But the horsepower side is really lagging.’
When it comes to martial arts, I put my mind to it and work hard, and my skills are improving as I work harder. However, when it comes to horsepower, things move at a snail’s pace. It’s been a while since I’ve surpassed the 7th circle, but the increase in magic power is still only an eyelid, and it’s impossible to use more than half of the 7th circle magic.
With the 10th circle of enlightenment, it is possible to twist existing magic to create new magic, but raising the absolute level takes time.
Leffenhardt thought for a moment.
There is no longer any way to increase magical power in a short period of time until the relics of the four directions are found. However, to pass the barrier containing the relics of the four directions, you need at least 8 circles of magic. That’s why he hasn’t been able to put his hand on it until now… … .
‘Because now I have Gwonma Hapshin.’
I wonder what would happen if I applied the fusion technique of Aura and magic, which had not been used before, and Kwonma Hapshin. Leffenhardt was worried.
‘Shall we go look for the relics of the four directions? But if you go and it doesn’t work, you’re just wasting time.’
Meanwhile, Russ was talking about various things with Cilan. It was about the incident where Cilan was kidnapped from Zeppelin.
“… … That way, I was able to escape safely. “If Titima wasn’t there, we would have been in big trouble, really.”
“Still, with Miss Titima’s skills, I don’t think she would have been a very difficult opponent?”
All the warriors gathered here had been sparring with each other all morning. Meanwhile, Russ also crossed swords with Titima.
Of course, she was inferior to Auror users, but Titima’s skills were still surprising. At least compared to the Christine he knew, it seemed like he could gain an upper hand.
Cilan shook his head.
“It wasn’t like that. She told me where she got her messiah from. Thanks to you, I also put in some effort.”
Russ nodded as if he understood.
“Come to think of it, Eusus also showed up with a strange artifact. According to my brother, the other guys were also holding something. By the way, where did you get that… … .”
I was able to win thanks to mastering the air sword, but I still feel dizzy when I think back to that time. Russ stuck her tongue out.
At that time, Reppenhardt, who was eating, frowned and joined the conversation.
“Wait a minute, Cilan. Is that the Holy Light Sword Messiah?”
“i know? Well, because it’s so famous.”
However, the reason why Reppenhardt was surprised was not simply because Christine obtained a famous artifact.
‘If it is the Holy Light Sword Messiah… … ‘That’s what Siris used, right?’
The Holy Light Sword Messiah was an item that Reppenhardt obtained while wandering around the continent before he had yet entered the 10th circle. I didn’t find it in a dungeon, but I found it rotting in the warehouse of Baron Silniak, a fallen nobleman of the Halaine Kingdom, while staying there for the night.
At the time, a strong curse was placed on the Holy Light Sword Messiah, so even after Baron Silniac saw the rare artifact, he only sealed it away, saying it was a cursed sword. So Reppenhardt purchased Messiah for a reasonable amount of money, simply lifted the curse, and presented it to Siris.
The Holy Light Sword Messiah amplifies the user’s various energies evenly. To put it simply, the more diverse the abilities, the greater the amplification. As such, it was perfect for Siris, who could use swordsmanship, elemental magic, and magic.
Because of its limited amplification, Siris gave it to her elf lieutenant after she reached the next level, but it is a very useful item for her now, as she is not as strong as she was in her previous life.
So, in this life, Repenhardt planned to stop by Baron’s as soon as he had time and ask Siris for Messiah. For that reason, even after seeing Eussus’s barded Eldrad, he didn’t show much desire.
Reppenhardt groaned and scratched his head.
‘Ugh, I was trying to take care of urgent matters first, so my priorities got pushed aside, so I put it off, but then someone else found it.’
In his previous life, he was in his early 30s when he visited Silniac Baron, and it was several years from now. Until then, no one knew that the Holy Light Sword Messiah was there. Neither Reppenhardt nor Siris had ever mentioned the source of Messiah, so there was no way Thethron would have known that fact. So he wasn’t worried that someone else would take over Messiah.
‘Is this because the future is distorted as a result of my regression? ‘Should I have put other things aside and looked for Messiah first?’
But there was no time for that. In the case of the Crovence Civil War, it happened at exactly the right time, so I couldn’t miss it. If I had delayed, I would have lost Yubel and I would not have gained Carol.
It was the same when the Kingdom of Antares was established later.

I couldn’t go outside without permission until Baek Guk settled down. Even if I had time, there were many more urgent things to do. Reuniting with Atilka and the war to free the Zeppelin slaves were much more important than just acquiring a sword.
Repenhardt relaxed, saying that it was unfortunate, but that there was nothing he could do.
If Reppenhardt had only focused on the relationship from his past life, the current county of Antares would not have existed, so his choice was not wrong.
If you decide to change the future, you must also accept the changed future.
‘There will be another opportunity later.’
Considering her personality, it seems there is absolutely no chance of Christine giving up Cilan. Then, when we meet again, just retrieve Messiah and gift it to him.
However, it is still questionable as to why Messiah appeared at this time.
Reppenhardt muttered softly as he gathered his thoughts.
“… … Did that crazy woman just happen to visit Baron Silniak?”
“huh?”
Cilan tilted his head at Reppenhardt’s muttering to himself.
“Christine said it was given to you by the Silver Sage?”
“Silver Sage?”
It was the first time I heard this name.
Is it possible that the Silniak family is called the Silver Sage in this timeline? However, it is not a fitting name at all when you think of the Silniak family in your past life, which was ruined and in dire straits.
‘No, if you didn’t get it from Baron Silniac, you’re saying you just received the Holy Light Sword Messiah?’
The newly encountered Tethron group appeared as if they had made a promise, each carrying powerful artifacts. Looking at the circumstances, it is more plausible that the Holy Light Sword Messiah has the same origin as those artifacts. It is nonsense to say that different artifacts were discovered at the same time, in different places, as if they had been promised.
‘Jade, too.’
In Reppenhardt’s mind, the image of the silver emblem that Jade had left behind appeared.
Silver Sage.
A large amount of artifacts.
And Jade.
All of this seems related. Of course, there is so little information that I think it is just speculation, but I feel that way instinctively.
This is not something you can just ignore!
‘I guess I’ll have to gather relevant information in earnest.’
In the past, there were so many urgent matters that it was difficult to pay attention to them. But it’s different now.
‘If I tell you to do it, you’ll take care of it, right? Oh, as expected, I saved that guy well.’
Smirking, Reppenhardt straightened his shoulders. And he thought as he finished chewing his sandwich.
‘I need to quickly find the relics of the four directions. ‘Tesron also knows its location.’
Until now, Repenhardt had not been able to go to collect the relics of the four directions because he lacked magical power. He didn’t really care, thinking that Tethron would be in the same situation.
However, after hearing about the Holy Light Sword Messiah, I am also worried.
Thanks to Carol, there are no more urgent matters in the country like there used to be, so there is some leisure time. Swallowing down the croquette he was chewing, Repenhardt made a decision.
‘As soon as I finish inspecting the Aranan Grad construction site, I will set a date and move.’

The Arend Mountains, the western tributary of the Glotten, a large mountain range that runs across the eastern part of the continent.
To the west of this gentle mountain range that has been eroded over a long period of time is a large plain with a river. It is a landform formed along the Serine River flowing from the mountain range, and is about 100 kilometers away from Antares. It used to be the Barony of Cetas, but was incorporated into the county through a territory war. It is located along the Termanian Guando and the Serin River, so it is also a major route to the trading city of Jarud and the Kingdom of Vasili.
A huge city was being built along the Serin River in the middle of the Arend Plain.
Aranan Grad.
It was the new capital of the Kingdom of Antares, meaning the city of five colors in rune.
Reppenhardt, looking at the cityscape, burst out in admiration.
“Wow, the city is almost in shape now? “When I saw it before, it was just a plain.”
Most of the outer walls had already been completed, and the royal palace and public buildings where representatives of each race would be housed were also completed.
Everything has been touched by dwarven touches, and despite its huge size, it looks very sturdy. The ferry site along the Serin River has been completed, and the castle gate has already been completed, with only minor exterior decorations such as statues.
Carol smiled happily and answered.
“Because we had a lot of talent and a lot of manpower. “Progress went faster than I expected.”
While reorganizing and stabilizing the country and planning a Zeppelin strategy, Carol also worked hard to build a new capital for the country.
In fact, the current Antares White Castle is just sitting in its original state after slightly repairing Viscount Gelfane’s castle. It was originally a small castle used by local nobles in the kingdom, but now that the size of the kingdom has grown, it has been inconvenient in many ways to be used as a royal castle. The location was too close to a mountain range, making transportation inconvenient, and the terrain was also too narrow to be the capital of a country.
Large-scale construction was necessary to provide jobs for the newly introduced refugees and people of different races. So, construction began little by little two years ago. In the beginning, progress was not very fast due to the lack of manpower, but as the country’s population increased, the pace of construction accelerated. Now that a large number of slaves of different races rescued from Zeppelin have been deployed, the city has slowly been completed to the point where it can function properly.
Leffenhardt continued with admiration.
“He complained that he didn’t have enough money to meet, but he managed to raise the budget to this extent.”
Carol smiled weakly and responded.
“I didn’t have enough money to even do this. Actually, I owe some debt to the Kingdom of Crovence. You can’t do it. “If we postpone the work at hand just because we don’t have enough money, can the country run properly?”
As soon as the topic of money came up, his shoulders slumped and his eyes became glazed. It seemed like he had been going through a lot of emotional distress.
Leffenhardt smiled and comforted him.
“The people we rescued have settled down and started production, so the budget will soon be secured.”
