Chapter 91

Episode 91:

I felt stinging gazes.

The gaze of the Count’s people looking at me could not be said to be very positive.

It was definitely a happy occasion for me to graduate from the academy and take on a raid, but there were people who were worried.

Now that I have the strength, I’m worried because I don’t know what kind of trouble I might get into.

Even though I said I had changed, there were people who were waiting to see how long that would last.

But today, at this moment, everyone had the same reaction.

“crazy. “It’s a real raid!”

“You said you caught that?”

“It’s not just Reid. “There’s even a basilisk!”

There were only two monsters I brought.

It can be seen as very poor for entering the North, but if the monster is Raid, the situation is different.

It was clear that this alone was a great ingredient that could improve the family’s power, including the territory’s financial status, to the next level.

That’s why they are so surprised and look at me with excitement.

‘It’s like this with Raid, but I’m going to faint when I see a hatchling.’

Seeing their reactions, I decided not to show hatchling even more.

It is obvious that as soon as the hatchling is shown to them, it will be disintegrated into pieces and used as magic material.

Although a dragon is not a creature that can be caught that easily.

‘Count Millennium is a person who makes the impossible possible.’

9th Circle Archmage.

To him, a hatchling who cannot use verbs is nothing more than food.

“I’m going back now.”

“hmm? Wouldn’t it be nice to have a meal together?”

“Since we have work to do, I will treat you properly next time.”

Count Skylar smiled as he hugged Beatrice’s shoulders.

Although he didn’t show it, he was anxious to use the by-products of the raid.

Even though I didn’t have Reid’s magic stone, the leather and bones are of great value as research materials.

It was a foregone conclusion that their territory would definitely advance to the next level.

Nevertheless, the reason we cannot delay is because we have a great desire to deal with the by-products as quickly as possible.

“Then there’s nothing we can do. See you next time. “Ah, I’ve given permission to use magic, so you can just go from here.”

“Thank you very much for your consideration. Beatrice, if you have something to say, say it now.”

Within the Millennium Count family, high-level magic cannot be used carelessly.

High-level magic is magic of the 6th circle or higher.

Due to the barrier created by Count Millennium, magic beyond the 6th circle cannot be used without his permission.

If he is not freed, Count Skylar will have to leave the city and use magic.

Because he knew that, he bowed his head and gave thanks.

“Raymond.”

“uh.”

“See you next.”

Her mood was brighter than before.

I waved at her and saw her off.

“Then goodbye. Warp!”

A halo of light surrounded them and they disappeared in an instant.

Count Millennium, who was looking at the place where the lingering scent of mana remained, turned to me and said to his vassals.

“Move these to the magic tower and prepare some light refreshments.”

“insect!”

The retainers moved around busily, pounding their fists on their chests.

The by-products of the raid disappeared before my eyes, but I didn’t show the slightest interest.

These were what I was going to give him anyway.

Based on these, I just have to take something else from him.

“Are they the ones you accepted?”

“yes.”

Count Millennium rubbed his chin as he looked at Mahol and Reina.

“Looking at the energy he gives off, he seems to be a mid-level knight. “But you still have eyes to see.”

“….”

“Deacon.”

“Did you call me?”

The deacon who was standing behind him came up and bowed his head in front of him.

“I need you to make some effort this time.”

“I will follow your orders.”

“Did you say Raina? “I guess I can leave the training to the head maid.”

The head butler bowed his head once again and approached Mahol and Raina.

“Please follow me.”

At his words, they turned to me.

His eyes were confused as if he was wondering what to do.

“Follow me. “I’ll tell you what you guys will do in the future.”

“yes.”

Mahol and Reina nodded and followed the head deacon.

Count Millennium spoke to me as I looked behind him.

“I heard that you were appointed a knight by His Majesty the Crown Prince.”

“ah. yes.”

At my gesture, Ellis brought the sword she was holding in her arms and handed it to me.

Count Millennium motioned for me to take a look.

Sreung.

The sword that came out of its sheath glowed.

There are some cracks, but not enough to be a big concern.

This is something that can be easily fixed if you take it to a blacksmith for repairs.

“and…! “It was true.”

“Hehehe. “A knight from Millennium.”

“It’s a sword given directly by the Crown Prince… But how is it that there’s a crack in it?”

“What does it matter! “I’m saying you’ve found your aptitude!”

The vassals chatted louder than when they saw Reid.

They had already seen Reid’s body once.

He even treated Reid as a gift from Count Warrug.

To them, it was a bigger shock to be recognized by someone for my newfound talent, even though I was incompetent, than to get Reid’s body again.

“Hmm.”

Count Millennium looked at the sword I had drawn and smiled strangely.

“hmm. It’s the royal emblem… I guess you really liked it. “I see that he gave you a treasured sword that is given only to his knights.”

“…?”

What does this mean again?

It’s the emblem of the royal family.

I quickly looked at the area he was looking at.

There was a pattern on the jewel embedded in the center of the area connecting the sword and handle.

A golden dragon coiled in a coil.

Have you seen this cheeky guy?

As Count Millennium said, this symbol represents the crown prince’s person.

‘I didn’t know you could hit someone in the back like this.’

I had no idea that they would do such a trick with the knight’s sword.

Who would play a prank like this on a knight’s sword, which has great symbolic meaning?

‘That’s very clever, too.’

The emblem of the Kingdom of Serion is a golden dragon with a crown.

Therefore, the knight’s sword, which is directly appointed by the royal family, is decorated with a golden dragon pattern.

Dragon’s eyes.

The crown prince mixed his own symbol with the dragon’s eye engraved on the knight’s sword, making it difficult to recognize.

That’s why I received it without any doubts.

‘We’ll have to discuss this later when we meet.’

I refused the golden dragon bracelet because I wouldn’t be his person.

I was hit hard on the back of the head.

“It’s not a bad thing to be friends with royalty.”

After showing Reid, his tone of voice became a little softer.

“Refreshments are ready.”

As I was about to say something, the head deacon came up to me and said.

“Good job. “Let’s go inside.”

Count Millennium headed to his private office where refreshments were prepared.

“What would you like for tea?”

“Give me anything.”

As I sat down, the butler brought me tea.

Count Millennium sipped a cup of tea, crossed his legs, and opened his mouth.

“I have a lot to ask you.”

“yes.”

“I clearly remember that they only allowed me to enter the academy.”

“yes.”

“But why did you go to the North? “They send back the articles I sent as they please.”

I expected Count Millennium to ask me this question.

At the point when he sent the knights to me, he ordered me to return.

But I ignored it.

It wasn’t strange if he got angry or punished right away.

“It was necessary.”

“needful? Was it necessary to enter the North and catch Raid?”

“I have that too, but I wanted to make sure.”

“hmm?”

“I wondered how far I could go if I didn’t have Millennium on my back.”

“Hmm….”

Ahar is about to cause a monster wave, and to stop it, he goes to hatch Reid’s egg! It is impossible to say that.

So this excuse was just right.

“So, is the verification finished?”

“yes. “I knew where my place was.”

“That’s a good thing.”

Count Millennium closed his mouth for a moment, then opened it.

“But that doesn’t mean I can forgive you for ignoring my orders. “I think you know that well.”

“yes.”

Count Millennium is a person who is in a position to lead all the people of the Count family.

Even though I am his son, I cannot just ignore someone who disobeys his orders.

“I will place you on probation for three days, so during that time you will reflect on your mistakes.”

“yes.”

It was a very light punishment for disobeying the head of the family’s orders.

No, this wasn’t much different from giving a reward to rest rather than a punishment.

It’s just that I have to punish them, so I’m giving it to them in the name of probation.

“If you punished someone, you should also give them a reward. “If there’s anything you want, let me know.”

“Hmm…”

I didn’t really want anything right now.

Ahar, who is trapped in the north, must remain trapped there for at least half a year.

So, all you have to do is relax and prepare for about a month.

Should I just ask for money instead? The more money you have, the better.

no. I stole some money from the vice principal and have quite a bit of money.

Isn’t there something more useful other than that?

‘Oh, now that I think about it, I have to go see William.’

Suddenly I thought of him.

A secret organization that gathers information for me.

It was soon time to introduce him to Alice.

Since I can’t visit him at any time, synergy will increase if I introduce her, who is my source, to him.

“Can I ask you next time?”

I don’t want anything right now.

It is more beneficial to ask for his help later when you really need it.

“It’s not difficult.”

Count Millennium nodded, saying he understood.

“There is a family meal in the evening, so you should be there on time.”

“yes.”

“Go and take care of your work.”

Count Millennium’s eyes followed me as I woke up.

As Raymond opened the door and went out, Count Millennium put his hand behind Raymond’s back.

Uuuuung –

The mana that escaped from his hand wrapped around Raymond’s body and grabbed a living creature.

“…?”

Raymond looks back.

“Why are you doing that?”

“ah. no.”

Raymond scratched the back of his head and left, closing the door.

Tick. Count Millennium raised his hand and waved.

Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!

The hatchling’s cloak was broken and she struggled to escape his grasp.

“This is true. That’s funny. A dragon that follows humans. “Is this why you went to the North?”

Does Raymond not know about the human who raised the dragon?

It would be quite absurd if they really went to the North for this hatchling.

It would be absurd even if it was included as an extra.

“Killing is best, but”

Wow!

The hatchling is scared.

At the thought that I could really die, I bared my teeth and said, ‘Kyaaaa!’

“It’s a pet that my son brought home after a long time.”

Count Millennium’s eyes lit up as he grabbed the hatchling’s neck.

“I will raise you to the point where you can protect your master.”

It was the moment when Hatchling’s ticket to hell was sold out.
