Chapter 1036 – 1036. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family
[Death resistance has been activated. You will not die for the next 15 seconds.]
[Uses full recovery.]
After all, once died.
I came back to life using full recovery.
The body has become fine. The black and white world has also returned to its original colorful world.
Around me, 4 assassins were chained to the shadows. Judging from the way she held her dagger forward, it seemed that she was trying to kill me and was instead attacked by Yuria.
I looked around. The remaining 31 people were lying on the floor as corpses. Most of them died from knife cuts, but there were also those who died from electrocution.
“Where did you suddenly pop out from!”
“I have been here from the beginning.”
The leader of the Assassination Squad looked at Yuria intently. She then swallowed her saliva. His eyes tremble
“… Who are you? I have never heard of a monster like you.”
“…….”
Yuria shut her mouth as if she had nothing to say and silently raised her dagger. Her dagger was aimed at her arm, not her neck. If you don’t kill them, they will capture them alive and then extract information from you through torture.
Seo Geo-eok!
Watching Yuria cutting off the limbs of the assassins, I said to the assassin leader instead.
“Why are you pretending not to know? You know about her too.”
“I do not know… ! A woman like this monster… ! I haven’t even heard of it!”
“No, you know. You must have heard rumors.”
“… Rumor?”
The leader of the Assassins remained calm with his limbs severed. It’s ridiculous, but these guys are first-class assassins. As far as skill is concerned, it is real. In particular, in the case of the leader of the assassination team, he blocked my attack 4 times while he was in a state of rampage. Expert is the highest level of skill.
“Look at her. Silver hair and blue eyes. Do you remember anything? Isn’t that a characteristic of some noble?”
I pointed at YuRia. Her silver hair in her maid uniform glistens in the moonlight. Her blue, cool eyes are beautiful and merciless. She was so beautiful that it shocked her.
And around Yuria. The shadows were wriggling.
The leader of the assassination squad was astonished as if he noticed something about him.
“No way, Amje… ! Is that woman the real dark queen?!”
“I know that. I was a bit taken aback when she talked about the secret drug in front of the real thing.”
I unmasked the assassin leader. It’s the face of an ordinary old man. It’s a surprisingly good impression there. An old man who seems to live near the house.
“It’s a face I don’t know. I’ll ask straight forward. Is the client Gent?”
“I am an assassin. I’m just silent as long as I fail. No matter what you do, I won’t open my mouth. The same goes for torture. We are perfectly prepared for torture. Of course, I have no intention of being tortured.”
Kwajik.
The sound of something breaking was heard from the leader of the Assassins.
It’s obvious. It must be the dogma hidden inside the molars.
I stretched out my hand leisurely. No matter how poisoned it is, it doesn’t kill instantly. There was a few seconds or even tens of seconds to spare.
First of all, he stopped the poison from spreading through his body with point blood, then reached out and grabbed the head of the leader of the assassination team. Sends brain energy and burns poison. [Gwangmyeong Ascension] I have done it several times in the world, so I know the feeling. Still clumsy though.
‘Well, it’s not like I’ll die if I fail.’
It didn’t matter if the assassin’s leader died. After all, it’s clear that these guys’ clients are Gents.
“Hey… ! Didn’t you die? Could it be that you had an antidote!”
The leader of the Assassins gasped and shouted.
He succeeded in burning the poisonous air. As a side effect, there are scars on his face and his hair is falling out, but it’s not my part-time job.
I looked at the other assassins. Not all were able to commit suicide. There was no way YuRia could be lighthearted.
“You cannot die without my permission.”
The assassin’s leader’s face went white. He gritted his teeth and said in a trembling voice.
“I should have already told you…. Whatever you do… We will not divulge any information.”
“If you endure for a day, I will praise you.”
I laughed at him and got up.
“Yuria. Please.”
“Yes. I’ll figure it out before the sun rises tomorrow morning. By the way… Just that technology is too risky. Never use it again.”
“… That’s because I’m too immature. If you ask me to try again… I honestly have no confidence.”
Still, I got some clues. With some practice, you will be able to use it.
“It doesn’t seem like Yeongcheon-ryu’s technique.”
“I don’t know the details either. I just have one guess.”
[Academy’s Savior] A technique used by Seongha-ri of the world. A temporary body acceleration technique using lightning. Lightning is almost certain.
I asked Yuria to clean up for her and went back to her carriage. On the way, I bumped into Kyle and Ploy.
“Eugene! Did a monster come out?”
“Lord. Are you okay?”
It was a bit of a struggle. It’s not strange for them to be able to notice the battle with their level of skill.
“It is already over. Let’s go and rest.”
•••
The next day, dawn.
Yuria kept her own words.
Captured assassins don’t put on stupid faces, spitting out all the information before the sun rises. The assassins even had symptoms of infantile regression. I was about to ask YuRia what she had done, but gave up.
First of all, the client who hired them was Gent. 30 billion Nerra requested me and Kyle’s death with an enormous commission fee.
‘The same goes for Gent who went on a winning streak in the war…. It wouldn’t be unreasonable to bet that amount.’
However, it is a large sum to bear alone. It seems that not only Zent but also some of his vassals were involved.
The assassination team received 6 billion won in advance.
‘If you track that 6 billion fund, Gent will come out. This is the clear proof.’
The already hopeless Gent ended with this.
‘Gent. I’ll make you an asshole like Kyle.’
Doesn’t kill
Instead, he will continue to have a tryst with Bibi, Gent’s wife. My wife would never dream of giving birth to a child of mine.
Haha.”
•••
He entered the main house while being welcomed by Young Ji-min, soldiers, and knights. They too know who will be the owner of the Pruckus family.
I raised my sword and waved it on top of the wagon. Every time the blue aura blade flashed, the citizens let out a cheer.
‘At times like this, we should advertise. I’m the youngest Auror Master.’
Arrived at Count Pruckus.
Returning home after a long time, not much has changed. However, the atmosphere is more lively than usual. It is also true that Count Prucus, Ention, has returned to the main house.
In addition, Count Purcus is a noble family with the most achievements within the Lapelli Kingdom. The faces of the people of the Pruckus Territory are full of pride. It was even weirder when the atmosphere was bad.
I was immediately called to the Great Hall without a break from travel.
Everyone gathered in the Great Hall.
Ention, the head of the household, and Elaine, his wife.
Gent Purkus and his servants.
Kyle Purkus’ servants and those who follow Kyle.
The servants who followed me and the nobles who remained neutral until the end.
More than a thousand people gathered in the Great Hall. These are all the forces of the Purcus family. It wasn’t like this originally, but…. Through this war, the size of the territory was greatly increased, and there were quite a number of subjugated families.
They were victorious in the war and were sure to take the loot. Count Pruckus’s family could be compared to a small duchy.
Together with YuRia, I walked the red carpet with their eyes on me. Yuria wore a blue dress instead of a maid outfit. She was so graceful that no one would even think she was a maid.
I deliberately slowed down my pace. A murmur is heard all around.
“That’s Eugene Pruckus…. The undefeated hero, the golden hand of Lapelli Kingdom, and the youngest Aura Master…. Did you rule the sea? You have all the great achievements that will go down in history…. It’s no wonder that the eldest son, Gent Pruckus, is no match.”
“Wasn’t the one he was fighting against, Kyle Prouckus, his second son? As the youngest Auror Master, he has fallen behind his brother.”
“Who is that woman? Very… It’s beautiful. She is hard to take her eyes off of.”
“Silver hair, blue eyes…. No way…. No, is it a coincidence… ?”
“Amazing, amazing.”
“Is a new wind blowing?”
“Madam, take a good look at him. Son, remember his face well. He is the hero who will lead the next Count Purcus.”
“… Damn it Got his line wrong. Hey, do you know what Baron Eugene likes?”
“I was going to recommend my girlfriend… I can’t. My girlfriend is so lovely that it doesn’t hurt to put it in her eyes… The woman next to me is of a different class.”
“His era will be opened in the future.”
At the end of the red carpet sat Ention and Elaine.
Yuria and I got down on one knee in front of them.
“Father. I have returned.”
“Yuria Grace…. No, Yuria Helbrit greets the head of the household.”
“…….”
Ention closed his mouth and was silent. The people around him also noticed Ention and shut his mouth. However, they could not completely hide their astonishment.
Yuria Helbrit.
Because there might be some people who would quibble about Yuria’s origins, she decided to use the name of the Duke of Hellbrit.
This was Yuria’s opinion. Yuria still wanted to hide her power. The reason is Pantheum. They still don’t know exactly what Yuria’s power is. This advantage will definitely come in handy.
“Heard. She is the only surviving member of the Hellbrit dukedom.”
“Yes. I am an illegitimate child. I didn’t know about it until recently, but I came across it by chance.”
“… Done. I will not ask in detail.”
Ention’s mouth trembled. He was nervous against Yuria. Although he made a promise beforehand… Seeing her with his own two eyes, he seems to have noticed how talented Yuria is.
‘I must have shown her momentum so that Yuria could notice. Because she’s more comfortable that way.’
That Ention looked like a one-day puppy standing in front of a lion.
“Father. There are two requests.”
“… Tell me.”
Ention’s gaze turned to me. His complexion seemed more at ease.
“I want to marry Yuria.”
“… Allow it. There is no one who does not know that the Duke of Helbrit was a prestigious aristocratic family. Even though she is one of her illegitimate children, she deserves her because she is of that bloodline. Also, I heard that she inherited her legacy as Duke of Hellbrit.”
“Yes. It is.”
YuRia answered calmly. Nobles everywhere held their breath. The Duke of Helbrit was once the chancellor, and rumors even circulated that the real owner of the kingdom was the Duke of Helbrit. It’s a legacy of such a person, so you can roughly guess how great it will be.
“However, it is an exhibition now. The war isn’t over yet. It’s not appropriate to hold a ceremony, so let’s end it with an engagement for now and hold a ceremony after the war is over.”
“Yes. Father. I will follow.”
“What is the second request?”
“My father said. The title will be handed down to the brother who made the most contributions in this war. I made the most of my brothers. Kyle decided to support me. I am sure that my achievements are higher than those of his father. Father, pass me the title.”
“Baron Eugene!!”
A roar erupted.
It is not Ention. Old vassals standing around him.
“How rude is this!”
“Baron Eugene! Be polite!”
“That statement is no different from challenging the authority of the head of the household!”
Yuria and I got up from our seats without Ention’s permission. And slowly looked around the vassals who shouted around. I remember those faces without fail. The killing department was already being written.
“I! I! I… !!”
“Baron Eugene!! What are you doing!”
“Kneel, Baron Eugene!! In front of the head of the household!!”
“Father! Eugene is ignoring Pruckus’ authority!! Father!! Punish Eugene!!”
The old vassals and Gents were desperate, with blood clots in their necks.
Ention frowned and rose from his chair. He blatantly spread the momentum. The faces of the vassals and nobles turned pale at the aura master’s coercion. I did not back down and responded. I am also an aura master.
A battle of momentum ensued. I’m a bit pushed If it was natural, it was natural. It wasn’t long before I became an Aura Master. On the other hand, Ention had a long career as an Auror Master.
However, I took his energy calmly. He did not avoid his fierce gaze at all.
Ention sighed and withdrew his momentum.
“Eugene. You are right. You are the right owner for this position. … Can you afford this position?”
“It’s more than enough to handle.”
“That’s my favorite answer. Today, I will hand over this position to you. However, there are conditions.”
I suppressed my irritability and asked as calmly as possible.
“…… Under what conditions?”
“Bury what happened between the brothers.”
“You mean what happened yesterday?”
“…… Yes.”
“I will.”
“Okay, Eugene. Now you are the owner of Pruckus. Since the succession ceremony is an exhibition, it will be held in an abbreviated manner. If you wish, we will schedule a separate day for the succession ceremony.”
“Abbreviated form is sufficient.”
I laughed.
Kyle and Gent? He wants to live according to his original plan. Both will live
On this day, I became the owner of the Pruckus family.
