Chapter 857 – Hero’s Gaze Preliminary Skirmish.

The leader of the Holy Tree Knights of the Suruta Empire, he clicked his tongue when he saw the ‘apprentices’ and ‘squires’ who had returned seriously injured.

They did not dare to raise their heads and bowed down.

“Idiots. I told you not to cause trouble.”
“Sorry.”

There was nothing I could say other than sorry.
It is a position that can be cut off at any time with a word from a rank knight.

The captain glared at the three guys silently.
According to them, while looking around the city, they got into a fight over a trivial matter, and they had sparring because they were angry… Would it be normal for a knight to rise to the leader?

In his seasoned eyes, it was clear that he had been hit somewhere.

No matter how much he is not an apprentice knight, he is an apprentice “Sergeant”, But the Suruta Empire. And the guys belonging to the Order of the Holy Tree are beaten everywhere.

‘Originally, I would have to scold these guys and find out the culprit to build the dignity of the Suruta Empire…’

I couldn’t do that now.
It wasn’t just because his status as an apprentice was insignificant.

Since it is very difficult to join the Knights of Suruta, even their status as apprentices is a job that includes a large number of nobles or semi-nobles.

It is a noble lineage.
It’s up to the leader to cut it off, but if they lost their jobs and complained at home, and their family started talking nonsense… Normally, they wouldn’t even snort, but just now it was difficult.

Even if that wasn’t the case, the captain himself was angry.
Even though he’s an apprentice, he’s touching the Order of the Sacred Tree.
It seemed that he had been greatly ignored.

But, as I said many times, I couldn’t move now.

‘Even if it wasn’t just Gariun’s words.’

Sword Star Covered.
A swordsman belonging to the Suruta Empire, which is considered to be strong and strong in basic skills.
He, who holds the rank of duke, had summoned all his knights before this campaign and gave them a firm order.

[Never cause trouble in Sers or Floating Island]
[We are always going as participants, don’t assert your authority or feel like guests.]
[If I get into an accident and get caught in my eyes, then I don’t know.]

‘Tsk.’

The captain didn’t like it.
Ga-woon was not his direct superior, and it was annoying to be given orders.

But what can I do?
Gariun is a person with high reputation within the empire.

Even if he is not interested in power or politics, he is a gangster with skills and is favored by Empress Scaldia, who has absolute power.

With just one word from him, the position of leader of the Sacred Tree Knights could have been blown away in one shot.

He also had a position, though not directly under him, that allowed him to mobilize the Templars in case of emergency.

‘Besides, he’s not the kind of person who usually says coercive things…’

So I was a bit puzzled.
Even if the subordinates are usually somewhat rude, hehe. It was a person with personality who smiled and passed it on, or Hogu.

Should I say he is someone who only knows swords?
He’s not even the Suruta Empire. He cares so much about teenage family festivities.

‘Teenage families are great, but…’

Besides, there are true warriors and swordsmen of mad flames who seem to be collaborating with teenage families these days.
It was an understandable reaction to avoid being caught by them.

The captain’s thoughts were correct to a certain extent.

Gariun, who had been studying for Prince Goku and Princess Mia sent by Scaldia a while ago, had warned him in advance to prevent trouble.

He didn’t want to lose Dre and Chuck anymore.

Personally, I liked Dre, but what good would it be to turn the hero who fought against the King into an enemy?

The Commander of the Knights of the Sacred Tree sighed and said.

“When you go back, your salary will be reduced for writing the letter of appreciation. Be aware that there will be no holidays.”

The leader who recited the punishment in detail.
The three apprentices did not open their mouths.
I thought it was fortunate that things ended like this.

The opponent was eight.
I was violating the order not to be noticed, but I was caught by such a big man.

He knew that the handsome knight was him and ran away, but in the end he was brutally beaten.

I only found out now, but the woman they bet on.

He found out that she was ‘Machi Love Yarte’ of the Love Yarte family.

For a woman like that, for Dre, a mere knight or something would work.
Rumors that he became the de facto owner of the teenage family made Eight Days angry.

‘Fuck. Even if he did get caught, would he get caught by that crazy sword of mad flame?’
‘No matter how much you know that you’re a knight of the Suruta Empire, yet you hit people like that… He’s just going as far as rumors say…’

The apprentices whom Dre had assessed as being bland and sideburned, respectively, grumbled inwardly.

Cursing that it was clear that she had a dark heart rather than perhaps enveloping her men as her heir, she was trembling in fear as Dre came to mind.

Also, the handsome knight was very angry.

‘You say you love people so much because of that girl from a ruined family…?’

A knight grinding his teeth.
But what can I do?
He was also the one who broke the policy that he had been told from above before coming to Sers in the first place. Dare to be an apprentice, what should I do with the sword of mad flame?

More than anything, I was afraid of Dre.
I didn’t want to see you again…

He will be punished in the future.
And the huge amount of money given to the cathedral to heal the severely injured wound was just a waste.

Contrary to what Dre had hoped, the matter went unnoticed.

Of course, there was no way that Scaldia would find out about this.

Like that.
Originally, what would have ended ‘small’ in its own way has become a spark that will become ‘big’.

***

“The knights of the Suruta Empire have come?”
“Okay.”

Kitz answered my words indifferently.

“Isn’t the tournament just three days away? Of course, the contestants have already come.”
“Apart from the participants, why are the others coming?”
“I heard that the seven knights that Suruta is proud of came to Sersu, leaving only half of them in Suruta to show off their might.”
“It’s not a child that was put out on the water, but as a group…”

It seems that the guys I saw yesterday were also knights of the Suruta Empire.

Although his skills were poor for a knight.

“Actually, there is a reason.”
“? What?”
“Hwang…”

But Kitz stopped talking and looked at me.
I was about to curse, but I felt that he was considerate, so I just shut my mouth.
You will do well

“…Not only Suruta, but each faction also dispatched personnel. I’ve said it before, right? The nine forces I mentioned.”

Every know
The four forces that Kaitz said you should be careful of.

Head office. Calzabog Empire. Heterogeneous union. Homecoming school.
And the five groups that support the Shinsoo, who were said to be obstacles to meeting the Shinsoo.

Sacred shell.
Door to heaven.
Leaves.
Fox village.
Do you believe in heaven?

Guys called
They said they came to Sers too.

It seemed that Kaitsu was monitoring their movements by asking Homun.

“However, it seemed that the forces serving the divine beast simply came to watch.”

Not just them, but forces to watch out for.
Even those who will surely become enemies in the future do not seem particularly suspicious.

“Anyway, this time, it seems that the goal is really purely to participate in the tournament.”
“They. Are they free?”

I was dumbfounded when I asked, and Kitz shook his head.

“That can’t be the case. You and I might appear as special guests, so let’s get to know our skills, or if we’re on Sers or the Floating Islands, we might get some information. That’s probably why we came here.”

It’s a very vague and passive idea, isn’t it?
Looking at it with that meaning in mind, Kitz smiled.

“It’s just that the power of the Grise family and homun is superior to what you thought. I’m tired because I can’t get any information.”

Until now, they have tried to dig up our information several times, but they said they blocked it well each time.

“It’s a bit difficult to block the main branch.”
“…”

It deserves it.
With that guy’s ability, no matter how much magic or manpower she uses to cover up information, she’s bound to get caught.

“They seem to be quiet this time, so don’t worry about it, disciples. And take care of the family.”
“…?”

Why did this bastard take care of you?
At my gaze, Kitz smiled.

“Isn’t it because of the main quest that you are trying to revive the Love Yarte family?”
“…”
“Then I must help.”

It’s not.
Of course there was nothing to say on the face that believed it would be.

“What are you planning to do when the hero’s gaze ends this time?”

Kitz really seemed to think that this tournament would go smoothly.
She hasn’t even held it yet, but she’s already talking about the post-contest.

Still, if the reincarnated person who felt sorry for using the expression “Interval” Felt that nothing would happen, I would have to believe it.

I thought about it for a while and said.

“I’m thinking of going to Mattan or Hest.”
“Matan…”

After thinking about it for a bit, Katz asked.

“Wouldn’t it be better to go to Hest? Even if you go to Matan, it will be useless. In the worst case, you will only encounter evil spirits.”

At least, you can deal with Exiles, and you can punish them later, but what if you meet an evil spirit, Kaitz asked.

“I told you why you had to go to Matan before.”
“I heard that there is some treasure hidden there.

Katz thought for a bit and then nodded her head.

“Yes. You will do well on your own. I will trust your judgment.”
“…?”

Doesn’t he seem to trust me too much these days…?
Kitz, who was shaking his head, asked something different this time.

“Do you have any information about the trinity?”
“Doesn’t exist.”

I already told Kaitsu that the turtle god had to stop by.

It was said that Shinsoo had told him about it, and Kitz was frantic to go there.

He seemed to regard it as an important keyword to end his long journey.

“I’ll try to find out as much as I can. If you find out something, let me know right away. Please.”
“Okay. So, are you done talking? Go now.”

I jumped up.
It was because he had to stop by the Grise family.

“Hmm.”

Kitz looked at me with a subtle expression that was hard to say.

That expression was too thick, so I spoke ferociously.

“What. You bastard.”
“Because I want to be so heartless. That’s why. I’m a friend like a brother…”

Wood deok!

He smashed the aegulchang.
Kitz greeted me with a giggle, and I was dragged along by Garcinido, who soon entered.

“Kill!!”
“Enter carefully.”

Fuck…
Fuck!!

That bastard is teasing me in reverse…!
It’s humiliating.
I won’t forget.

I came to the Grise family.

There was no need to walk.
It was thanks to Lenea asking why he had such a hard time walking and moving him by saying that he could open a portal anywhere in Sersu.

For reference, Leo, the head of the Grise family, seemed a little uncomfortable.

“You can’t believe that you destroyed the movement magic limiting spell in our family at once. Indeed, there was a further achievement there.”
“…”

Miss Lena. I guess I was too excited.
When I cleared my throat, Grise went into work mode and said:

“Hest and Winte’s business has already been resolved.”

Grise too.
The news is fast.

“The elders of both houses have contacted me to contact Dre-sama, what do you do?”
“Leave it until the hero’s gaze is over.”
“All right.”

Business conversation.
This is comfortable with Leo.

“So. Why did you bother to bring me to Grise this time? Because of someone named Ellie?”
“No.”

A cool negative is more suspicious.
Leor smiled bitterly as he narrowed his eyes.

“Even if that were the case, the right to ask for something was gone when Hest and Winte were settled.”

Leo held out something.
What list was it?

“What list is it?”
“These are the people of interest who are participating in the hero’s gaze this time.”
“Person of interest…?”

From the first chapter, I saw the warriors Raamu and Ziggs.
They were invited players with the special points mentioned before.

A kind of gateway to enhance the entertainment of the contest, not the contestants.

A warrior from the first chapter…?
When I turned the back page, I saw faces I had never seen before.
However, from the first sentence, it was unusual.

“Prince…?”

Smiling face.
A character who seems to have painted the slightly ugly Kaitsu with a slightly more unlucky, smiling face.

“He is the prince of the Kalzabog Empire. Below that is information about the people that Kaitsu-nim and Heir-nim were paying attention to.”

These are the follow-up participants.

“The reason you gave me this list is because of my students?”

It’s definitely perfect if you preview the opponent’s information and teach them.

But Leo shook his head.

“No.”
“?”
“Since Dre-sama is always involved in trouble, I thought he would definitely get involved with them as well.”

I want you to get used to their faces, and if something happens to them when you meet them, I want them to think about it before getting angry… Leo said he was giving it to me, and I laughed.

“Are you Meg?”
“Sorry.”

Leo immediately lowered his head.
Beads of sweat flowed down his cheeks.

“Let’s do well when we do well.”
“Yes.”

I grumbled inside.

Although I’m prone to disturbances, I wonder if I’ll be able to do that in a healthy competition like this.
[Hasn’t he already been involved with Suruta?]
Shut up.
[It’s a black fever dragon, or a dragon of despair.]
Yeah, it’s dark.
[I assure you, the incident will happen within a day.]

Anyway, how can you do that within a day?

The name of the Black Fever Dragon is a waste of guessing.
[Mr. Woo.]
…So cute.
[?!?!]

By the way, Lena said she was going around her town with Ixia and Nelf today.
After this is over, I have to go take care of her daughter, who is still secretly depressed.

***

“Uh, yes?”

Nelf. And Lena, who was standing with Ixia, blinked her eyes at the man in front of her eyes.

Gorgeous white armor that puts an emphasis on fashion and blinds the eyes.
And ten female attendants following behind her.

A tall looking person spoke to Lena.

“How about a cup of tea with me?”
“…”

What is this.
Lena frowned at her.
