─The moment the blade and spearhead met, he, no, not just him, but the opponent’s consciousness would have instantly lost consciousness.
It’s just a feeling, but I feel certain about it.
Anyway, the time I lost consciousness was about 1 to 3 seconds?
I don’t know because I didn’t count exactly, but it should be close.
It’s just a guess, but I think that even they couldn’t withstand the huge shock wave created by the collision between the Muai Sword and the Pacheon and lost consciousness for a moment.
… What he saw when he regained consciousness.
“-It was a scene of a broken blade and a intact spearhead.”
“… … .”
“But in a favorable situation, the gentleman suddenly pulled back, and there was no sign of injury.”
“…Why do you think that happened?”
“I don’t know, I don’t know, but maybe my judgment was clouded during the brief moment of unconsciousness. … There might be another reason. Anyway, the match ended up being a mess, and I felt uneasy, but that person ran away saying I won or something. … That’s all.”
“haha….”
While explaining, Lee Han grumbled that it was a rather unpleasant situation, and Derek somehow found himself laughing.
Even though it may be something you don’t want to talk about, the reason you bring it up and explain it so kindly is because you know that it is an explanation for ‘build-up’.
What is the build up for?
“… I’m still sorry. I broke and ate your precious sword.”
“It’s really okay….”
Build up for the apple.
Lee Han, who experienced firsthand why a debt collector has no choice but to sell his money, avoided eye contact, and Derek just smiled awkwardly.
Lee Han apologized, holding out the shattered gladius, or rather, ‘what was a gladius’, with only the handle remaining.
If it were up to him, he would have shamelessly gone out, but he didn’t sell his shame to the point of breaking his precious sword and wiping his mouth clean.
However, the person receiving the apology waved it off, saying it was excessive.
“Oh, it’s okay. It’s not that expensive.”
“If a famous sword isn’t precious, what is?”
I asked him this because I thought he might be saying it out of a desire to burden him, but Taechang shook his head.
It’s not like it’s a burden or anything, but as if he’s only expressing his true feelings.
And on the contrary.
“A famous sword… Ah, all the swords in that ‘warehouse’ certainly looked good.”
He nodded as if he knew something he didn’t know, and Lee Han reflexively asked back.
“…storage?”
“Yes, there is a warehouse called [Dwarf’s Trash Can], which is a place where dwarves and hobbits’ failed creations are stored. It was abandoned about 200 years ago, so I also use it as ‘Warehouse No. 5.’”
“… … .”
“That sword is one of the ones I brought from that warehouse. It’s probably a bit stronger than most swords.”
He said that he just brought it because it was relatively clean and was rolling around on the floor.
Lee Han quickly realized the gap between the rich and the poor between him and Tae Chang.
“Now that I look, the richest man in the kingdom is right in front of me… ”
“It’s, it’s not that much. … … But, can you still hear it on your ten fingers?”
“… Let me speak.”
I think again, there is no need for either a regressor or a possessed person.
‘The status window is the ultimate boss.’
… what an envious guy.
It was a feeling of envy that I had never felt before, even for Maximus’ talent.

“-So who won?”
“huh?”
Lee Han blinked at his junior’s unexpected words, and Jordan frowned, perhaps because he misunderstood his reaction.
I wonder if he’s angry.
But curiosity cannot be stopped, and he overcomes his fear and… .
“Didn’t you fight Sir Maximus? That black lion of the North…?”
Finally, he bravely asked the question, and Lee Han finally understood what he meant and laughed heartily.
A look of incomparable kindness.
Lee Han has a soft smile.
“Hey, junior. Do you really have to ask that while I’m eating? I might as well bite you.”
He let out a soft warning.
“……sorry.”
Jordan bowed deeply as soon as the first warning was given.
Didn’t you say you wouldn’t even touch a dog while eating?
Well, they say dogs don’t bite when they’re being touched, but even Lee Han will bite if you touch him while he’s eating.
Instead, since I am an intellectual, I will lightly discipline you with my hands rather than my mouth.
“It’s better to discipline them yourself. If you discipline them with your own hands, you could end up killing them if you do something wrong.”
“Enough with the nonsense, tell me the situation.”
“I’m not talking nonsense, I’m telling the truth….”
Lee Han asked about the current situation while quickly filling his stomach with bread and sausages that the universal status window took out from his inventory.
Because I didn’t even know what was happening because I took a shortcut.
“Still, you haven’t forgotten your mission.”
Jake felt secretly proud of his friend who, despite his bad attitude, still did not forget his original mission.
… Of course, if he blurted out such sentiments, he might end up getting hurt instead of his junior, so Jake kept that in mind and summarized the situation concisely, telling only what had happened.
Aren’s performance, the number of anti-minds they dealt with, and last but not least-.
“Fortunately, thanks to your help, we have secured the fanatic’s new recruits. In reality, the mission was a success. … However, I never saw the hundreds of half-demons you said you saw.”
“… … .”
News that will make your expression harden rapidly.
Lee Han swallowed everything he was eating, pouring it all into his mouth.
“… Have they already escaped through a passage we don’t know about?”
“If we think positively, there is a possibility that they were all crushed to death in a pile of dirt.”
“That would be the best.”
If Lee Han reduces the number a bit, the number of half-men who couldn’t escape due to the tunnel collapsing will be quite large.
It might have been reduced by 1/3, no, maybe 1/5?
But even if it is reduced like that… .
“If just one or two are released, it would be threatening enough.”
“Hmm, should we search this area with the soldiers right now?”
“Well? It probably doesn’t mean anything. It’s been over 10 years since it was found, so it’s not like it’s easy to find even if you look for it now.”
“… You say that you make sharp remarks despite your appearance,… really sometimes.”
“Should I leave out the useless words?”
They scratched their heads.
Even though we worked hard to get rid of the termite nests, we still have the anxiety that the termites might still be alive and heading to the city center.
“… … Haa, I can’t help it.”
Lee Han let out a breath, and Jake gave a bitter, tired smile, knowing what he was thinking.
“I guess suffering a little more would be a way… Do I have to keep sitting there for two weeks, no, a month?”
The common opinion they reached was that it meant orthodox hard work.
In order to track down the Banmain, we extend our stay time and visit and protect each village spread around here.
Literally, a classic case of hardship is expected.
“life….”
I can’t help but groan when I think about the hardships I’ll be going through for a while.
“…Seniors, you are truly sincere.”
Jordan’s seniors made him laugh.
In fact, you don’t need to do such hardships yourself, but aren’t you making it difficult for yourself?
No one tells you to do it, and there is no reward for doing it.
Just to prevent a tragedy that could happen anywhere,
… They were seniors who moved only to fulfill their responsibilities, and Jordan seemed to understand once again why their status was low.
‘This is why these people can’t get promoted.’
Once you take on a job, there is no flexibility.
I just work in a orthodox manner and do my best.
So that no one gets hurt… .
Who does things like this these days?
No one is praising this, so it’s probably just an act of self-satisfaction.
… … But that’s why.
“First, I’ll try to get a map of the nearby villages.”
It must be worth following.
and.
“-The 1st Division will take care of that. You go back.”
The man shouted, as if to prove that he was not the only one influenced by him.
“Sir Aren? What is that…?”
All eyes were on Aren Pendragon’s declaration, and Aren declared again with his characteristically arrogant expression.
“That’s exactly what it says. I’ll take care of finding the half-minds and fanatics.”
“Like the 1st Division?”
“That’s right!”
“…Why?”
“Profit! What do you mean by asking back!”
“… … .”
“I want you to answer!”
… How can I say it with my own mouth?
I still can’t trust him and the 1st Knights…
“You want me to trust those guys, Geumjjok and Banpyeon? I would have just left it to our bears. How can I trust you guys?”
… … Ironically, there was someone who could openly make remarks that disrespected the royal family and the 1st Knights,
What made Aren even more upset was that the story was based on facts.
Also, I don’t know what the term ‘golden’ itself means, but I can guess that it is a derogatory remark just from the nuance.
So Aren raised his finger!
“If you say that damn gold one more time, then…!”
“There are ways to pluck out those fingers nicely.”
“… That, that was that time… Ahem, I wasn’t aiming at you. Don’t misunderstand.”
Even though she was angry, Aren couldn’t raise her voice to Lee Han, wondering if she had the ability to learn.
No, is it really the fist that is scary?
“… I wish you would leave it to us.”
It seemed as if he was being suppressed so pointlessly, but Aren found courage again.
And so on.
“I also know that the 1st Knights are a group lacking in many ways. However, how can we just sit back and let them play around because the abilities of each individual in the group are lacking? That is a waste of manpower and a deception of the nation that is no different from a knight, or rather a soldier, neglecting his duty. Therefore, I, Aren Pendragon, have a mission to fulfill my duty and responsibility as the commander in charge of the 1st Knights.”
“… … … ”
… Lee Han blinked.
no…….
‘Why is that kid suddenly talking like a normal person?’
No matter how much he is embarrassed by the change in the adult Geumjogi.
* * *
Aren continued to insist, whether he was surprised or not.
“Of course, we know that the 1st Knights Division will not be able to deal with the anti-minds, and they will not faithfully carry out their missions. However, if we mobilize the 2nd Knights Division and push them with numbers, we will be able to capture the anti-minds, even if we cannot defeat them. Also, they will faithfully carry out their assigned missions, even if it is because of their mutual antipathy.”
“…Do you think that makes sense?”
It would be best if it turned out that way, but in the end, the 1st and 2nd Knights are in a static relationship.
It means that the relationship is like oil and water, always anxious to get rid of each other.
What if we let them hang out together and they start fighting or end up killing each other?
“-If something like that happens, I plan to immediately ‘death sentence’ for disobeying orders.”
“… … .”
“Before they were static, the Silver Lions were knights and soldiers belonging to the military. However, if they disobey orders and act for personal grudges and glory, it is natural that they should be executed. Of course, I cannot monitor everyone, but I plan to execute on the spot any knights who lose even one member.”
“You’re too extreme.”
“Just do what needs to be done.”
“…under.”
Jordan, who had raised objections, was defeated.
It wasn’t that I was impressed, but I was dumbfounded by his boldness.
“The resentment will be considerable.”
“I know, but what can I do? The 1st Knights are half-baked. They lack skill and have no useful parts. The 2nd Knights are also useless. And! Useless knights are like the rotten roots of the kingdom. Hani!”
wickedness.
“Pandragagon has no need for rotten roots.”
“… … .”
Jake also had a moment of slump.
The way of the barbarians.
A terrible defeat.
Perhaps because he originally had a certain degree of arrogance, Aren’s theory of kingship was full of extreme aspects in many ways.
If he had become the king’s successor, it would not have been surprising if the nobles had immediately revolted.
However, he is a prince with no relation to the successor, and he is in a position where he can be hated by the nobles.
He also has a nickname, White Lion, which was created for propaganda purposes.
Even if he were to execute the knights at will, it would give too much power to the royalists and nobles to make an issue of it.
Perhaps, from the nobles’ perspective, they didn’t think much of it, thinking that no matter how much power they gave him, he would be incompetent… .
Did you expect that?
Who would have thought that an incompetent fool would become a new person overnight.
“Why is Geumjok suddenly acting like that?”
“… … .”
Ah… Now that I think about it, that’s not true.
Aren didn’t become a new person overnight, he was forced to change, really.
Thinking about this, Jake and Jordan’s gaze turned to him, a man who could rightly be called an authority on character education.
Lee Han, he is the one who made the incompetent royal family use his love(?).
“Geumjok, are you hurt in the head or something?”
“I’m not hurt! Don’t call me gold!”
“…Isn’t he still a cheapskate? How did he become like this?”
“Eeeeeee…!”
He didn’t even realize that he had accomplished something and just looked at me with curiosity.
“… Isn’t that guy actually a true educator?”
“That’s right… .”
There was a moment when the thought occurred to me that perhaps he should go down the path of an educator rather than a knight.
