Episode 1040. There are many rough corners.
Elio, who had been warming himself in the fire of the Fire Stone, turned his head slightly.
A man dressed as a knight of the Marquis Bernardo was approaching.
He thought that the opponent was one of the Marquis’s knights and imdiately turned his head.
The heat from the fire stone the size of a grape rushed to his face.
Among the objects in this world, the one I like the most is that fire stone.
‘The family mbers of Seokgyeongjang should have seen this.’
The size is the size of a grape, but the firepower is like a pile of campfires.
Firepower isn’t the only good thing.
The Fire Stone did not emit smoke or embers.
There is no fire, so of course there is no sound.
The sound of the footsteps of the knight beca louder as the surroundings were quiet.
jerk jerk.
Soon the footsteps stopped, and a thick man’s voice was heard.
“Sir Elio. I am Baron Mark Stone of the Order of the Phoenix.”
Elio, thinking of the family he left behind, raised his head.
A stubborn-looking man in his forties stood there with an awkward face.
“Do you have sothing to do with ?”
“no. I ca to investigate the situation of Alpha Company and stopped by to say hello because you were here.”
“is it so?”
Elio turned his gaze back to the Fire Stone.
Far from being gregarious, he treated Baron Mark Stone, an elite knight of the Marquis Bernardo, as if he were a cow.
Baron Mark Stone frowned at the opponent’s unresponsiveness.
When it cos to barons of the Order of the Phoenix, everyone tries to look good, but Elio was too stiff.
‘Is it a sword expert?’
taste was bitter.
However, it did not show any discomfort.
Baron Mark Stone, who had been standing there awkwardly, quietly disappeared after a while.
***
That night.
The camp of the Marquis Bernardo.
“How is it?”
Baron Mark Stone answered the question of Earl Ellen Phares, leader of the Order of the Phoenix.
“It is said that there were no casualties due to the quick response of the Alpha company commander.”
He deliberately didn’t ntion Elio’s ball.
For a mont, the knight commander tilted his head.
Did you say there were no casualties after defeating Kalimbaum, known as the strongest monster in the North?
“Does it look like that to you?”
The knight commander stared at Baron Mark Stone.
“It seed not to be false, as no casualties were seen. There’s no reason for the Alpha company commander to lie, is there?”
“It doesn’t.”
Count Ellen Parres nodded.
In fact, Alpha Company’s single-handed defeat of Kalimbaum was a great achievent in itself.
“Baron Dennis Robin gathered the Fire Stones given to Alpha Company and threw them into Kalimbaum’s mouth.”
“There is Sir Elio in Alpha Company, right? Wasn’t there a story about him?”
“It seems that I was able to draw Kalimbaum’s attention for a while.”
Baron Mark Stone said lightly, as if it were nothing.
“You an Captain Alpha threw the Fire Stone into Kalimbaum’s mouth while Sir Elio was paying attention?”
“As a result, it is, but the person who defeated the Kalimbaum this ti was Alpha Company Commander.”
Then Count Ellen Parres looked at Baron Mark Stone with strange eyes.
“Baron Stone seems to have a dislike for Sir Elio, is that true?”
Baron Mark Stone paused for a mont before answering.
“That’s because Sir Elio trusted the Marquis’ favor and didn’t care about our Phoenix Knights.”
“Didn’t you notice?”
As Count Ellen Parres looked up, Baron Mark Stone told him about his experience with Alpha Company.
“…I revealed that I was a mber of the Phoenix Order and greeted him, but he didn’t even look at .”
“That was a bit harsh.”
The Phoenix Knights were proud of the strongest power of Marquis Bernardo, who was recognized by everyone else.
As the leader of the Order of the Phoenix, Count Ellen Fares could understand Baron Mark Stone’s dissatisfaction.
But it was just there.
As a sword expert, he was not as angry as Baron Mark Stone at the actions of his fellow sword expert, Elio.
For ordinary knights, the Order of the Phoenix would be great, but for sword experts, it would be just one order.
“And this is an aside… I heard strange rumors from Alpha Company.”
“Strange rumors?”
“There was a rumor floating around that Sir Elio would go to the Empire sooner or later.”
“To the Empire?”
“Yes, Duke Cillian Hale of Magus t Sir Elio separately, and at that ti, such a story was said to have co and gone.”
“Duke Hale must have made the offer. Because the empire needs talented people.”
“More than that. I heard that we reached an agreent to so extent.”
“Hmm.”
A quiet voice flowed from Count Ellen Parres’ mouth.
It’s not like yesterday or today that knights from the Kingdom or Principality go to the Empire to get ahead.
There is no law against it.
Unlike in the past, you can no longer demand loyalty and loyalty from knights until death.
“Get more accurate information about that part. Sir Elio is a talent needed not only for the Marquis, but also for the kingdom. He must not be taken away by the Empire.”
“Yes…”
At the unexpected instruction, Baron Mark Stone let his shoulders droop.
This is because the words he brought out to criticize Elio only increased his value.
***
Three days have passed.
Back at the garrison, Alpha Company passed the ti as usual, treating the wounded and checking equipnt.
Elio learned continental languages from Fabian in the morning, and taught him swordsmanship in the afternoon.
If Fabian raised his voice in the morning, in the afternoon, as if seeking revenge, Elio would slaughter Fabian.
Like Elio, Fabian was not normal.
It was reasonable to think that he would be beaten in the afternoon, so he could have made fun of him, but Fabian scolded Elio as if he were getting revenge for the day before.
In the afternoon, the situation reversed again.
Elio laughed and rolled Fabian until he vomited.
The eccentricity of the two in the boring garrison was quite an interesting spectacle.
The mbers of Alpha Company even made bets on who would be the first to extend a hand of reconciliation to the other party.
However, Elio and Fabian did not show any montum to stop.
The biting and biting life of the two passed over a month.
early April.
Finally, the envoy of Escatos IV visited the garrison.
Elio, who was interpreting the mana developnt book at the inn, was called by Viscount to Robert, the chief of staff of the Kingdom Army, and stood up.
“What have you been doing for a long ti?”
To Elio’s question, a knight under direct control of the palace answered with a smile.
“I’m guessing he’ll be called for work related to the farm work.”
Cale and Qunut Ridley trembled at his words.
“Congratulations.”
“Are you going to be a baron now?”
“Even if you beco a baron, you shouldn’t pretend you don’t know us.”
“Ah, that can’t be.”
Elio waved his hand and left the tent.
The knight directly under the royal palace stopped in front of the command and control barracks.
“You can go inside.”
“Ah yes.”
After greeting the knight, Elio entered the tent.
Inside the tent were the chief of staff, Viscount to Robert, and two n he had never seen before.
The chief of staff t Elio’s eyes and said to the middle-aged knight sitting in the front seat.
“Sir Elio of the Marquis Bernardo is over there, Vice Admiral. Sir Elio, this is Earl Colin Strong, who was sent as the deputy general of the garrison.”
Elio showed contempt for Colin Strong.
Count Colin Strong said with a smile on his face.
“I have heard a lot about Sir Elio. Your Highness is also watching with interest.”
After Count Colin Strong’s good words, the chief of staff introduced the man next to the count.
“And next to him is Baron Patrick Durend, secretary of the royal court. baron?”
At the call of the chief of staff, Baron Patrick Durand rose from his seat and took a step forward.
“I am Baron Patrick Durand. I’ll tell you briefly. His Highness Escatos IV ordered the simple cultivation process at the garrison because the situation in Hirhera was not good. Therefore, at 4:00 PM today, the Duke of Escatos has decided to hold a ceremony on behalf of His Highness the King. The title is Baron and the fief is Slash Land. By the way, it is the first ti since the war with the Empire that a fief has been granted to a baron. His Majesty thought that Sir Elio’s title was not comnsurate with ritorious deeds, so His Majesty decided to bestow the fief.”
“thank you.”
At Elio’s short thank you, Patrick Durand nodded and returned to his original position.
Viscount to Robert, chief of staff, asked Elio.
“Do you have any more questions?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“I heard that you are busy studying the common language of the continent these days. Maybe that’s why the way I speak has beco more natural.”
“haha. thank you.”
Elio liked it more than when he was titled.
The chief of staff laughed at Elio’s human appearance.
“Then, let’s see each other later at the Bongbok Ceremony.”
Viscount to Robert used the Hao body consistently because Elio was at the level of a sword expert.
Elio nodded to the deputy general and the chief of staff, the secretary of the Royal Departnt, and turned around and left.
As Elio left, Vice Admiral Earl Colin Strong took a little luck.
“I heard that you are from a savage, but you have better manners than I thought. Your face looks good too.”
The chief of staff said in a calm tone.
“It is true that the overall impression is soft, but unlike the appearance, there are many rough corners.”
“Are there… many rough corners?”
The deputy general looked at the chief of staff with a half-doubt on his face.
I don’t know how the chief of staff would go so far as to say how rough a knight from a barbarian without a back stomach should be.
“I guess you haven’t heard the story with Count Putokoa yet?”
“I know he’s from the county of Putocoa. What happened with Count Putokoa?”
“Everyone has. It was a very big thing.”
The Chief of Staff briefly explained the fight between Elio and Count Putocoa at the garrison.
“…then the heir of Count Putocoa asked Duke Escatos to intercede and was barely able to cover it. Had the duke not stepped forward, Putokoa might have had to appoint a new successor.”
“her! A knight took control of Count Putokoa? it’s amazing Didn’t the Count Codrantes say anything?”
Count Colin Strong stared at the chief of staff.
It was sothing he said because the Counts of Putocoa and the Counts of Codrantes had been keeping the Marquis Bernardo in check.
“Because Count Codrantes left the garrison due to injury, Count Codrantes didn’t co forward. Sotis there is nothing to be gained by fighting Sir Elio.”
“Isn’t Putokoa’s successor also unusual? His pride must have been hurt quite a bit, but will you end it with diation?”
“Right now, there is no point. There is no match for Sir Helio in Putokoa.”
“Hey, being a sword expert at that age is against the rules. That’s why a ‘reiki practitioner’ is on the sa level as a ‘mana user’. If I hadn’t t a little while ago, I would have called him the manager.”
“Certainly Sir Elio’s aura is not common.”
“It’s probably not black magic.”
“Either way, Putokoa’s heir once made that claim. However, the court mage mage Sir Osborne Kalos and Duke Magus Cillian Hale of the Corvo Magic Corps confird that the aura was unrelated to black magic.”
Viscount to Robert, chief of staff, firmly nailed the deputy general’s misunderstanding before it ripened.
If there was a discord between the kingdom army commander and the knights, it would be a headache.
