The Indomitable Martial King Chapter 63

“You know, the god of the dwarves. Al Portga.”

“If you’re Al Port, you’re an evil spirit, right?”

“What on earth did Al Port do?”

Now that I think about it, I’ve heard that Alport is an evil god, but I’ve never actually learned why he’s an evil god.

Silan tilted his head in confusion. It was in the meantime. Siris suddenly looked at the river and frowned.

“Leffenhardt, that thing over there… … .”

“huh?”

“I think I saw it wrong, but… … . For some reason, that looks like a person… … .”

In the darkness far away, something was floating down. It flows, flows, floats, and eventually stops at the riverside.

It was definitely true. It was a person. It was also a man who appeared to be a fairly sturdy warrior. When I opened my breath, I realized that I was still breathing. Reppenhardt hurriedly ran to the man.

The moment he turned over the man who had just fallen and checked his face, Reppenhardt raised one eye.

“Uh, this guy?”

How on earth did he float all the way here? Also, you got stabbed with a knife?’

“Do you know someone?”

Repenhardt scratched his head in response to Siris’ question.

“Well, if you know, you know. If you don’t know, you don’t know… … .”

The man’s identity was Cyrus, the person he had excitedly hit and f*cked half a day ago. Cilan quickly prepared a healing spell and cast it on Russ. Tila, who was looking at that scene, muttered inadvertently.

“… … “Was there a sequel to The Oracle?”

Chapter 10 To the North

One

Rattling.

A faint sound of wheels is heard. Beyond the distant sensation, I feel my body shaking. Russ groaned.

“Umm… … .”

I had no energy in my whole body. How long have you been sleeping to feel so groggy? Besides, what about here? Judging by the shaking sensation, I think it’s probably inside a carriage.

‘Why am I lying here?’

Russ stood up, puzzled. At that moment, I felt a fierce pain in my abdomen. It was a moment when I frowned and gritted my teeth.

“… … ah!”

A sigh escaped me. In his blurry memory, the distorted face of his half-brother, Eussus, appeared. In an instant, all the memories came rushing in like a wave of water.

The moment I awakened my auror, everyone’s eyes filled with awe, myself feeling extremely inspired, the blade of Eusus felt deep in my stomach, and the dark blue river approaching at a terrifying speed with a distant feeling of falling… … .

I remembered. I remembered everything.

My fingertips were shaking.

‘Brother Yusus… … .’

Russ covered his head. She felt a sense of desperation before anger.

He knew that Eussus did not approve of him. There were more than a few times when I gritted my teeth at the look of contempt I always felt.

However, Yusus was too great a knight to hate him.

A knight among knights, a person with a personality that one cannot help but respect even when one is looked down upon. How proud was he to hear that such a knight was his brother? And how ashamed he was that he could not be the proud younger brother of his proud older brother.

In the eyes of such a great knight, there was no way that a mere knight like him could be seen as a brother. So I thought it was natural not to acknowledge it and to look at it with disdain.

So I tried desperately. He thought that if he stood alone as a knight, if he gained power worthy of the sword of Tenes, even Yusus would eventually recognize him. As a result, he became impatient and often left the ranks and disobeyed orders. Because of that, he became even more hated, and the vicious cycle of becoming even more impatient continued.

And eventually, I opened my eyes to Aurors. I finally achieved what I wanted. Only now has he stood in the position of an equal brother to Yusus.

He thought that Yusus would also be happy to see him like that. Because I have finally become a sword worthy of Tenes and a proud younger brother worthy of his brother. but… … .

‘He didn’t want to acknowledge me… … .’

Russ sighed and looked at the ceiling of the carriage. When she woke up from her dream, she saw the cold truth clearly in her eyes.

His brother was not the knight of knights Russ thought he was. He was just an ordinary nobleman consumed by power who mercilessly stabbed his blood brother when his position as successor was at stake. The fact that I believed that such a man was a great knight and ran only to receive his approval was ridiculous.

“Tsk tsk tsk…” … .”

A hollow laugh naturally flows out.

Shake!

The carriage stopped. Suddenly, bright sunlight shone and cold air came in. Someone was pulling up the carriage tabard and looking at him.

Russ was startled. It was a familiar face. She has long red hair and looks very pretty like a girl. She is the boy who was captured as a colleague of the ‘Auror thief’.

“Ah, Mr. Leffen! “This driver is awake!”

☆ ☆ ☆

Russ came out of the carriage and looked at Reppenhardt and the others in confusion. Reppenhardt looked at him and spoke in a calm tone.

“You’re awake. “How are you feeling?”

“Umm… … .”

Russ groaned with a stiff face. When he saw Cilan he had a rough guess, but when he saw Reppenhardt again he was just as perplexed. Isn’t that Auror an enemy of the Count Tenness family?

“What saved me… … “Is it you?”

Russ asked in a blunt voice. Repenhardt responded, his eyes full of caution.

“They were all floating down the river dying, so I picked them up and saved them.”

I think it’s true that they saved their lives. Without letting her guard down, Russ looked around her and asked again.

“What on earth is this place?”

There was a plain everywhere. No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like the Viscounty of Kelbern, which was a mountainous area. Aside from saving me, why did you bring me here?

Repenhardt smiled wryly at Russ’ blunt, suspicious expression. Well, it wasn’t a situation I couldn’t understand.

“This is Baron Bade, and it’s already been three days since I caused an uproar in Kelbern Castle. The journey isn’t particularly urgent, so originally, it would have been better to just stay at an inn or something and get treatment until you wake up… … .”

Leffenhardt and his party have caused a huge uproar in the lord’s castle. Since I don’t know when a wanted order will be issued, I can’t just stay in the Viscount Command.

“It’s no use abandoning a dying person, and given our situation, we can’t stay in one place. “I thought about leaving it to a nearby temple, but Silan said that your wounds were so serious that it would be difficult to save you unless you were a priest of his level.”

There was no way there would be a high-ranking priest in this remote country estate. If there were any, they were priests of Areas who followed Count Tenes, but to be honest, they were only people whose skills were significantly inferior to Silan. Although he was too young to hold a major position, Silan possessed tremendous divine power, ranked among the top ten in the Philanense Church.

Silan was embarrassed and trembled with humility.

“Oh, it’s because Mr. Russ is an Auror user. “It would have been unreasonable for an ordinary person to be hurt that much.”

To be honest, from Russ’s perspective, it was a bit funny. How can you say that it would be impossible for that young-looking boy to say how great he must be as a priest?

But from his perspective, it’s a relief. If they had entrusted themselves to the temple within the Viscounty of Kelbern, they would not have been able to escape Eussus’ eyes.

‘Usus… … .’

Russ’s expression distorted. Life suddenly blooms and a crunching sound is heard between the teeth.

At that time, Reppenhardt clicked his tongue and said.

“Well, I’m not doing this to show off, but we saved him first, right? “I don’t want to hear you say thank you, but there’s no need to be this stiff, right?”

“ah… … .”

Russ then looked up, realizing that he had made a mistake. Leffenhardt spoke bluntly.

“I thought about the injured, so I even bought a carriage and moved them.”

Russ looked at the carriage with slightly surprised eyes. Come to think of it, they didn’t originally travel by carriage. I would have been grateful if they had just saved him, but did they even buy a horse and carriage especially for him? He must have spent quite a bit on purchasing a horse and carriage for himself, not just an acquaintance, but an enemy… … .

I feel strange. His blood brother ambushed him and tried to kill him, but he saved him by spending a small amount of money sharing his sword.

An awkward feeling rises in my chest. He had never felt so favored in his life.

Honestly, I’m very touched… … .

With a stern face, Russ quietly lowered his head.

“… … “I am truly grateful for the life-saving grace.”

He said he was saying thank you with a lot of sincerity, but his voice was very hard compared to his heart.

‘Oh no, I didn’t mean to do this.’

Russ clicked his tongue inwardly. She lived in a situation where she was always hated, so she should have something to thank others for, right? As a result, a very blunt tone came out.

Fortunately, Leffenhardt didn’t seem to mind much. Scratching his head, he pointed at Silan.

“Because he’s kind of nice. “He’s the one who paid the money, so thank him.”

In fact, he didn’t add a single penny to the purchase of the carriage. (I don’t have any money to add.)

“Anyway, now that you’ve come to your senses, you should go back to your family, right? “Would you like me to help you with travel expenses?”

It was Leppenhardt who showed off his money even though it wasn’t his own. Well, I can’t object to Silan’s personality. furthermore… … .

‘If I leave my debt to the future Sword Saint here, something good might happen later, right?’

No matter how much one is Tashid’s enemy, that is something from a past life, and one does not know what will happen in this life. There is absolutely no harm in doing favors here!

‘It’s a lifesaver, but even if it becomes an enemy, it won’t attack you like it did in your previous life.’

Then Russ looked embarrassed.

“Oh, that’s… … .”

After hesitating for a moment, Russ slowly began to explain. He explains that he is the illegitimate son of the Tenes family, his relationship with Yussus, and even how Yussus stabbed him for awakening his Auror.

Russ had already thrown away any reverence for Eusus. Now that his mind is clear, he can clearly guess the actions that Yushus would have taken afterwards.

“so… … It will probably be difficult for me to return to my family. “He may have become a traitor who secretly attacked his successor.”

“Hmm.”

Repenhardt thought as he touched the tip of his chin. Did something like this happen to Sword Saint Cyrus? When I thought about it, there was something similar. He had also researched information about Cyrus in detail during the Antares Empire. He clearly remembers things from his youth.

‘At that time, didn’t you say that after awakening your Auror status, you formally dueled with your older brother, who was the original heir, and inherited the family name?’

There was so little presence that Yusus’ name was not even in the information. To that extent, Yusus was a forgotten person.

‘I guess history changed again because I intervened.’

Leffenhardt smiled bitterly. For some reason, he felt strangely relieved and guilty because he felt like he had ruined Cyrus’ life.

Anyway, if things continued like this, Russ’ life would become quite a mess. Well, it’s a blessing that he was spared, but there’s no reason for Repenhardt to feel responsible until after that.

Looking at Russ, who was depressed, Reppenhardt quietly asked a question.

“So what do we do now?”

Russ looked up at the sky. There was not even a single cloud visible in the cold winter sky.

It’s clear.

‘What should I do?’

You can’t go back to your family. The purpose of life also disappeared. Everything fell apart.

Confusing. Her mind is a mess and her thoughts run wild.

Eusus was not the ideal knight he had imagined. Even his father, who cared for him, now doubts whether he truly loved him. Did she love him because he was her son, or did she love him simply because he was a talented person who could awaken an Auror?

Russ tried to organize his thoughts.

‘for now… … I guess I’ll have to find a way to return to my family… … .’

However, if he were to return to the Tenes family now, he would only be treated as a traitor. He should at least return with something solid to prove his existence.

And, how a knight proves himself with his sword.

Little by little, my mind began to clear up.

‘You must become a prosecutor with a firm sense of non-action.’

If he returns as a fully-fledged Auror, even the Count Tenes will not be able to ignore his presence. So, what must he do to reach that level?
