Chapter 152 – Annoying Attention

Baron.
Nobility.
I.
However.
So what?

My impression was that.
I’m a viscount, but what do you say to me?
I was given a title, so shut up and listen to me?
Leave the dispute and just move on, is this?
Why should I be patient?

Normally, I would have done that.
Because I have to live a good life.
However, as long as the head office and the guys might have been involved, I had no intention of putting up with it.

Unlike me, who was calm, the surroundings were noisy.

“Oh no…! Your Majesty!”
“A baron?”
“Is it that you are granting titles to strangers?!”

Gossips were heard.
It’s only a baron, so what’s the fuss about it?
Well, it must be that the special exception is severe because he is a hated stranger.
Whatever their reactions were, it’s none of my business.
What I’m interested in is not honor.

Oh, of course I’m interested in fame.
I’m just plain snobbish.
I want to be recognized, I want to be comfortable, I want to have fun, I want to do erotic things.

At least there are as many desires as others.
But. Right now, there are other things that I consider most important.
Above all, my own strong desire.

“Your majesty.”
“Yes. Baron Dre.”
“Is this the main store?”
“…”

As my words remained the same, the king’s expression twisted in displeasure for the first time.
.
Even that is acting, so it sucks.
Now, you’re acting in front of me.
I’m barely holding on right now
Trying to make fun of me It’s annoying, but you can look at the situation around you and laugh it off.

But that child may be a partnership with the chews I hate, and if I work with them, anyone will be able to punish and punish anyone.
So the situation right now is really, really fucked up.
To the extent that if I made a mistake and got even more angry here, it would exceed the anger I had when I was at Ulysse.

The pointing of fingers and the whispering about someone like that around me is getting more and more irritating.
The king who intentionally and led this kind of atmosphere and tried to go over what happened earlier is also a bitch.

So, I said with all my heart.

“Your majesty.”

Wow.

“…?!”

The king’s eyes widened.
It’s not smoke like when I first blew my energy.

Earlier, when I exhaled energy, the only thing that prevented me from breathing was the mustache next to the king, but now, all those who were weak in energy were suppressed by my energy and could not move their bodies.
So did the knights.
As they put more pressure on them than normal people, they couldn’t even think of moving their weapons like before and were just struggling to resist.

This is clearly an act that crosses the line.

Even though the heads of households and Emily talked nonchalantly or made fun of them, on the surface they were somewhat polite and bowed their heads.
It was a level that could be laughed off.

However, right now, I’m doing something tantamount to threatening, not doing enough to directly oppose the king’s authority.
So what?

“Do I have to ask twice?”
“…Kuk.”

After moaning, the king immediately coughed.
It must have been such pressure that I couldn’t even cough, but I was suspicious.
Is the king stronger than you think?
However, that thought quickly disappeared when he saw the emerald-colored mana gushing out of Queen Eniris next to him.
The mana gushing from Queen Eniris seemed to protect the king.
She was still looking at me with a worried face.
It was not what I wanted to embarrass that beautiful woman.

“Your Majesty. Is my question such a difficult question to answer?”
“…”
“If you answer me, I’ll move on to the past and present jokes.”

Anger flashed in the king’s eyes.
It was sincerity, not acting.
It was so awkward that I wondered if he had no awareness that he was a king, but that doesn’t seem to be the case again.
It seemed that the king’s remark that he would let the prank go unnoticed touched the king’s own irony.

“You guys…”

The king, about to say something more, clicked his tongue and opened his mouth.

“It’s not the main point.”
“…”
“Even if I say that, can you trust me? Viscount Dre.”
“There are ways to determine.”
“It’s a way.”
“And even if you don’t judge, you’re not lying.”
“…”

The distorted mouth, as if displeased, was pleasant.
He is now my collaborator who planned and made this work as well as me. He was also raging at an unknown stranger.

I am sensitive to lies and twisted emotions.
The king did not lie.
And if the president of the head office was ‘that guy’ I know, I wouldn’t have touched it so clumsily.

The king knew about ‘the main store’, but he felt that he only knew about it and he didn’t care much.
I was about to ask who did this, but I’ll leave that for later pleasure.

I liked the angry face of the king very much.
That barn. Are you going to get a good night’s sleep tonight?

“Where did you get anything from calling me?”
“…!”

The servants around him swallowed in vain.
The king’s gaze, with his eyes wide open, turned to the mustache substitute who was coughing from the side.
It was a glance that told me to say something to that stern bastard.
He caught the king’s gaze, but was looking at me fearfully.

I said with a snort.

“Then, I’ll make the last and this time nothing special. Your Majesty.”

The king gnashed his teeth, and only then did the minister move.

“Wow, you act reckless! What the hell do you believe in and act so insolently!! What safety in front of His Majesty… Heeik!”

Let me stare instead of the intimidating mustache.
I smiled and said.

“What do you believe in? I believe in my teaching status.”

I heard somewhere that the teaching position at Prunar Academy was comparable to that of a king of a country.
To be honest, I thought it was an exaggeration at the time, but looking at it now, it wasn’t wrong.

“…”
“If I stay here any longer, I’ll spoil the good mood. I’m leaving now.”
“…Let it be.”

Disrespect that the king did not even ask to go away first, and he goes himself.
Blame it once.
It’s already been nailed, I’ll fix it properly.
Anyway you and me Nicholas is not a good friend anymore.

I’m spinning I turned my back and headed for the door I entered.

Gold snorted silently and followed me, and Lesfeld followed us.
I felt dozens of eyes on my back, but I didn’t care.
So, I left the audience room.

“Brother. Our family will formally protest. Until now, we have respected you as a royal family. Ignoring the brother of the heir to the Heart family, who holds a tight grip on commercial power in other countries beyond the kingdom.”
“It’s okay, Gold.”
“I’m not okay!”
“Thank you.”

Gold was angry, as if I had been insulted.
Thank you very much.

“Really, what were you thinking? Your Majesty.”

Refeld also had a rare angry tone.

“To think that someone who knows better than anyone else that Dre-sama is an undisputed hero is playing pranks for no benefit.”
“Surely.”

Gold nodded.

“When my older brother didn’t have much fame. He could understand the pranks he made when he first entered the capital. At that time, it was still at a level that could be considered a joke.
“That’s right. What does the royal family gain by turning a person who is an academy instructor, has a close relationship with a teenage family, and has world-class skills himself as an enemy?”
…

Thank you for putting gold on my face. My face is hot.
Still want to hear more!
I’m thirsty for compliments!

“The price you get from the stranger who said you’re collaborating must be big enough to bear the various damages.”

Gold said the point.
I also chimed in.

“I don’t know if he really intended to make me a criminal, but I’m sure the king will get something out of it.”

Gold glanced at me and asked.

“The head office, where do you mean, older brother?”

Gold doesn’t know?
I was a little surprised.

It was a fact that it was already confirmed that even the Elyunar people knew the famous place among the factions called the Clan of the Strangers, but I couldn’t understand that someone the size of Gold didn’t know the main branch.
Maybe the main point is weaker than I thought?
Or not.
Given the nature of ‘that guy’, at least for the Elyunar people, it might be a completely secretive operation.

“I’m not sure I fully figured it out either. I’ll tell you later when I get it right.”

At that moment, I felt the sound of hasty footsteps and a presence in the distance.
Looking back, my God. Isn’t Queen Eniris fast approaching?

He didn’t run, perhaps because of his stature, but he walked very fast, probably because he used magic.
Thanks to that, she had nowhere to look when she saw the two huge hills on her chest swaying and swaying.

[Your sight is nailed to her chest.]
Huh. Block.

The queen who approached was so beautiful that it took her breath away.

“Sir Dre.”
“Queen.”

Did you come here to blame?
I don’t want to be scolded by Queen Eniris.
But she slightly bent her back.
The royal human bows her head to the stranger.

“I’m sorry, Sir Dre.”
“…!”
“I should have foreseen this situation from the time Your Majesty said he would step forward…”

Normally, I would have suspected that even this action was to be used for politics or relationships.
Being a queen was such a status.
However, this voice dripping with regret.
Character of this person.
When I first entered the capital, the memory that comforted me when all rumors were incomplete.
Those things quickly drained my anger.

“Did you offend me?”
“No.”

It was unpleasant to be precise, but now it was purified thanks to the angelic nature of this person and the deep, deep cleavage that was shown by bowing down.
[Hey.]
Shut up block.
[ㅇㅇㅇ..]
The answer is to block the fleas in advance.
Do you have such thoughts about such a holy mother? Ok?
…
…Honestly, it sounds like a lot, but how can I have such feelings for the queen and such a good person?

The queen looked at me and opened her mouth.

“I will definitely pay you later. Please ask for anything. Anything I can afford, I will definitely do it.”
“…Certainly?”
“Yes. Definitely.”
“…”

I’m not wrong for imagining something harsh with those words.
No, you don’t have any intentions like that, but…

“Sir Dre…?”

The last words were not those of Queen Eniris, but those of Lehfeldt, who seemed to be pouting.
I came to my senses at the voice and bowed my head deeply.

“You don’t have to. It’s also true that I was too cocky.”
“Sir Dre.”
“I’ll see you later.”
“Thank you, Sir Dre.
“…”

Fearing that Lehfeldt would pout, she didn’t bother to answer and only smiled thinly.
To be honest, if I were in the position of the queen, I would have been upset with my attitude, but she is a very nice person.

That’s how we boarded the carriage while being escorted by Queen Eniris. Away from the palace

Inside the carriage, Gold smiled contentedly.

“As expected, the queen is deep inside.”
“That’s right.”
“I understand very well that I must not turn my brother into an enemy.”
“That’s right.”
“Brother. It’s like a parrot.”

It’s because it reminds me of the queen’s breastbone.
How can a person with only one child exude a mature charm with a girlish appearance…!

“By the way, those who came to see my older brother became like earth dragons chasing wyverns.”
“?”
“Um… It turned out to be a dog chasing chickens.”
“Aha.”

Those who came to see me.
I felt sorry for the people in front of the palace.

“What. My older brother, who hadn’t escaped from Floating Island or Heart Street until now, has finally appeared, so if he’s desperate, even our family will snoop on him. If he’s willing then, we can meet him. There’s no need to stay in this unpleasant place for a long time. No.”
“Yes.”

Unpleasant place.
When the king’s shit comes to mind, Shin Jin-pae and that guy naturally come to mind.
Wasn’t it really those guys?
Maybe my judgment is wrong?

If they were in this world and had received special privileges, they would have possessed unusual powers.
Originally, they were like people chosen by the world.

I became very strong, but I felt a sense of crisis that I couldn’t be satisfied with the way I am now.

“Gold.”
“Hmm?”
“I’m sorry I said earlier that I would tell you if I knew for sure, but could you investigate the clan called the headquarters?”
“Head office…? Hmm…”

Gold twisted his head in a corner before he nodded.

“I get it.”
“Thank you. I will definitely repay you.”
“Reciprocation. Don’t say such sad things.”

After giving a short answer, Gold closed her eyes in satisfaction.
I suddenly looked at the royal castle in the distance beyond the window.

“By the way, is it the baron…”

Gold responded to my murmur.

“Hmm. I was angry because I was dumbfounded, but it’s a pretty good reward.”
“Is that so?”

I already have a good status as an instructor at the academy, so why do I need a title of nobility?
I replied with that in mind, but Gold recognized it like a ghost and said.

“The instructor status is a powerful status that can be used anywhere, but actions such as having a personal territory or having a private army are prohibited.”

I see.
I didn’t know.

“It’s hard for a baron to have a territory, but if you raise your rank and have a territory by accumulating achievements, there will be a huge advantage. Brother.”
“Hmm.”

I honestly don’t feel it.
It’s enough as it is now.

“I don’t know if my older brother thinks this is enough, but if you become a noble, there will be no restrictions on many things, so it will greatly help you level up.”
“Is it helpful for leveling up?”
“Yes. For example, there are merits such as being able to independently run dungeons that require access to nobles or their territories.”

Is it a dedicated dungeon?
That’s when I thought it was a pretty exciting story…
Looking out the window, I felt a sense of incongruity.

Rattle. Rattle.

The scenery outside the swaying window.
The scenery is similar from before.
Float. The distance of the castle is not nearly the same as before, it is the same.
Even though the speed of this wagon is very fast.

“Young master…”

The moment I heard the coachman’s trembling voice, I knew something was wrong.
The same goes for Gold and Repelt.
Sensing that it was unusual, they radiated mana and energy from their respective bodies.

“Explain”
“The road is strange. It was a road I knew, but now I don’t know. The shape of the road I used to know is the same, but it’s strangely different.”
“…I understand. Stop the carriage first.”

Kuaang!

Before Gold could finish his words, the roof of the wagon was violently ripped off.
I was a little surprised when I heard in detail about the specifications of how durable this wagon is from the driver when I was free.

“The sky…!”

Refeld was speechless.
I understand your feelings.
The sky is not the usual blue sky.
An ominous sky made of dingy green, making you sick just by looking at it.
It’s not just the road that’s changed, it’s…

“Wow. It’s quite relaxed, isn’t it?”

Grow up.

A funny guy wearing a deer mask.
He stretched out his hand, and was greeted by a spear of lightning from Gold. Whoa! He jumped up in panic and tumbled across the floor.

“Aigoo… Huh?”

Standing in front of him before I knew it, I swung my sword to split the funny mask.

“Now, wait a minute…!”
“Fuck it.”

Quak!

Just before the sword was swung, something hit me hard.
I noticed right before and turned the sword in that direction, so I wasn’t hurt, but that something continued to pursue me.

“Root?”

Hundreds of small, spear-like roots sprouted from the giant root and tried to pierce me.
Each of those roots was the size of an apartment building.

“Tsk.”

I tried to cut it roughly, but it’s pretty solid.
It reminded me of the guy who used stone magic in the Floating Island incident the other day.
Stones and trees, according to common sense, stones should be harder, but this tree was much stronger than the rock at that time.

And.

Kuang! Quaang! Quaang! Tuong!

Four roars heard at the same time.

“!”

Top, back, side. Even below.
The same tree roots that had been chasing me tried to crush me.

Shukak!!

He was sliced ​​into pieces countless times in one sword strike and lost momentum and fell to the ground.
Even the scattered fragments were enough to kill an ordinary person in one hit if hit incorrectly, but I landed lightly on top of the fragments.

And.
Oh oh oh oh

From above, I felt a powerful energy that was incomparable to the previous one.
I raised my head.

“Ah.”

The green sky returned to its usual sky.
Step. Only one was different.
Instead of the sun, that sticky green orb, clumped together like the sun, was shining ominously.

That size even though it is at a considerable height. Probably, it is not as big as a tolerable apartment site.
The poison sun was descending at a speed unimaginable for its size, and I opened my eyes wide.

Soon after, poison smoke swept across the ground.

***

Awesome.

A tree-skinned human emerged from the tree.
Soon the tree fell like a patter of dust and transformed into a normal human being.
A red-haired woman with an eyepatch dressed like a general.

Poison Forest’s poise.

Poise rummaged through her bosom, pulled out a cigar, and bit her teeth.
In front of her eyes was a forest full of poison fog.

“It’s a technique I wrote to the extent that I want you to be a little calmer.”

Poise, who muttered indifferently as if he had no emotion, smiled.

“You didn’t die from this, eight days? Then it’s disappointing.”

But, of course, no answer came, and Poise shrugged her shoulders and took off her footprints to find the eight, which must have been buried somewhere.

Quag!

“Uh.”

The poison fog cleared.
A black shadow protruded from within and rushed at Poise.
That was eight days.
Poise was unable to respond to the perfect surprise attack, which he did not sense at all.

“No sleep…”

Before Poise could finish her words, her sword stroke swept across her face.
