Chapter 89 – 089. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family
089. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family
Prophet Nophil.
He is a real hero in the legend. The hero chosen by Serion is said to have received the power to see the future and the past from Serion. He is said to have led the kingdom’s golden age as an advisor to the king.
Of course, if you are a modern person, legends are just legends, so you might have snorted and passed them over, but this is the world of fantasy novels.
In the yard where there are demons and demon kings, is there no hero chosen by God?
“Indeed! Yes! My heart disease is cured, and I have unknown knowledge, all thanks to Serion’s blessing!”
Hascent looked pretty happy. It was the first time I saw such a change in his emotions, as he always only looked at his expressionless face. He may unexpectedly like things like legends.
‘I don’t know if things can work out unexpectedly….’
I paused.
In a blink of an eye, Hascent’s face turned expressionless in an instant. … This is not some kind of Chinese change test, and how can the facial expression change like this?
“Young master, how far do you know the future and the past?”
I thought this question would come up. If you answer that you know everything, a contradiction arises in my words.
“… What I know is only part of it, knowledge. The ability I received from Serion is different from that of the Prophet Nopil. It is about the knowledge that existed in the days of ancient civilizations.”
“Exactly. The abilities of the heroes chosen by Serion in the legend were different. If it’s not rude, may I ask what exactly Young master’ abilities are?”
“Does it matter what my abilities are?”
“Important. It will affect how I think of Young master.”
I took out my smartphone.
“…… He lied to his mother saying it was an ancient artifact… This is actually an ability I received from Serion.”
I showed my abilities in front of Hascent.
He took out a lot of spices from his inventory. Spices in this world are not as expensive as in the Middle Ages in reality, but they are expensive and valuable. There could be no sight more wondrous than seeing the spice brought out in great numbers.
“Unbelievable! Young master’ ability was the ability to create something out of nothing?!”
Could see it that way. The ones I brought out are a bit different from the existing ones. Rather, it could be said to be cleaner.
“Yes. That’s right.”
I shamelessly pushed on. The one who creates something out of nothing. Isn’t it an ability that makes you feel like you’ve been chosen by God?
“Do you have any reason to hide your abilities? If Young master had informed that he had been chosen by Serion… Many people must have looked up to Young master.”
“I know how mystical and wonderful my powers are. There may be people who genuinely admire me. And vice versa, there will be people who are jealous of me. And.”
In the first place, he had no intention of serving as Serion’s chosen hero. I couldn’t even think of a way. Even if I had known, I wouldn’t have chosen that way. Because my purpose is not to be a hero.
“My purpose is neither to be a hero nor to save the world.”
Nopil the prophet is like that. Rather than becoming a savior by the power of prophecy, he became an advisor to the king. Just because he is a hero chosen by Serion, there is no law that says he must save the world.
“Then what is your purpose?”
I can’t honestly say that I’m going to become Count Pruckus and get all the Mana Awakening Potions. It seems too absent.
“It is the peace and glory of the county of Purcus.”
He looked into Hascent’s eyes. He opens his eyes wide and stares at him in amazement.
Are you impressed?
‘It can’t be.’
Hascent’s eyes twitched. He was agitated
The old butler, who seemed to have no blood or tears, is unable to hide his emotions. I pondered over the words I had said. There wouldn’t have been such a dangerous and shocking statement.
“Peace and glory of Count Pruckus… What a sublime meaning! However, I’m a little worried… Young master, don’t you think Count Pruckus is peaceful now?”
“Deacon Hascent. The current family is peaceful. The entire continent is peaceful. However, just because it is peaceful now does not mean it will be peaceful until the future.”
“What a crisis! What kind of crisis is approaching Count Pruckus?!”
Hascent’s voice rose. I said, feeling strange at his violent reaction.
“The continental war is coming. Head butler. The butler is a generation that has experienced the Continental War, so you don’t have to tell me how brutal the Continental War is.”
“But Gongja-nim. The county of Pruckus can barely be destroyed by a continental war!”
“Of course. Head butler. However, the enemies of Pruckus are not only outside. Rather, the inside side is more dangerous.”
It wasn’t a lie. The crisis of Count Pruckus is caused not by a continental war, but by internal politics.
“… By internal crisis, do you mean the Duke of Hellbrit?”
“That’s right.”
I nodded heavily.
It was Gura.
If left alone, the Duke of Helbrit will not cause friction. As much as he tries to keep himself clean on the outside, he has good relations with other nobles. There was no reason for the Duke of Helbrit, who had superior power, to pretend to be with the Count of Prouckus. There was no resentment between the families in the past.
“Ah… Also! Those damn sneaky bastards! I expected you to be plotting against us!”
“…….”
I was surprised. No way, I didn’t know Hascent could use such harsh language.
“Gongja. Young master, do you know what the nobles in the center insult us?”
Know. Came from the original
Outwardly, he praises Count Purcus as Lapelli’s guardian sword, but….
“A dog on the periphery. Lapelli’s dog. Stubborn mad dog. It is because they envy and are jealous of us Countess Pruckus.”
“That’s right!”
Hascent’s face contorted like a thug.
“Those insignificant worms! You dare to insult Count Pruckus without even knowing the subject! If Count Pruckus hesitates even a little, the worms will surely reveal their hidden ambitions! We need to break their spirits! You must set an example by properly trampling on them so that they do not entertain vain thoughts and never climb again!”
“…….”
Life flows from Hascent’s body. I had never felt such a dense yet sharp living.
Unknowingly, I stepped back.
Hascent’s voice goes beyond loyalty and even madness.
“…… This. I was so excited. Young master. Sorry.”
Hasent hung his head. There was no trace of his madness anywhere.
“What… , What. A person can get excited sometimes. I understand.”
I don’t understand.
Was this character originally? In the original work, he quietly retired, so he had no idea. If you have this level of loyalty, why the hell did you retire?
“I will be honest. The future of Count Pruckus is bleak.”
“There is no crisis in the future.”
Although the main character, Kyle, overcomes all of them with his incredibly superior military power.
“The current head of the family has excellent military power, but he doesn’t have much interest in the count’s family.”
That’s right.
Count Ention Prucus.
The Aura Master and Lapelli’s Guardian Sword.
He is currently living in Utren Castle, which borders the enemy country and faces the entrance to the Sea of Evil.
He has excellent military skills, but he is not very interested in politics. That’s why Elaine was doing the count’s work in the mansion. I don’t know anything else, but the political side is at the level where Elaine is in charge.
“Princess Zent is outstanding. He has an interest in politics as well as a talent for the sword. But I am too obsessed with articles.”
Gent is elitism. They also have a certain sense of seonmin.
You can do dirty things like hiring assassins for a purpose. But I don’t like it In a way, he is a person with a similar mindset to the Duke of Helbrit.
“Princess Kyle is a genius in swordsmanship. That talent is more than that of Young master Zent. But it’s so sweet.”
I saw it right.
Is Kyle called Hogu for nothing? It’s all because of his finite nature.
Furthermore, Kyle has a sense of justice that doesn’t work. He is intolerant of injustice and has a sense of benevolence.
“… What is your evaluation of me now? I don’t have the same talent as my older brothers.”
“Yes. You’re right.”
“…….”
I felt a little hurt when I admitted it so plainly.
“But he has the mysterious power that Young master received from Cerion. It’s different now than it was a few hundred years ago. What you can do with force alone is limited. If there is information about Young master’s mysterious power and future… Count Pruckus will enjoy a new heyday.”
“I have great power, but I am not omnipotent. There are limitations when using power. The information I have about the future is also limited. The future changes every minute, and I cannot know the future that has changed.”
I couldn’t move based only on the information about the original work.
Even in this case of the Pprek thieves, there was a variable that the information guild’s informant betrayed.
“The reason I highly value Young master is that his mysterious power is also his power… More than anything, it is in Young master’ personality.”
“I don’t think I have an angular personality.”
I don’t think he’s good, but he’s not bad either. He’s just a normal character.
“Today, I checked Young master’ personality. Young master has a ruthless personality.”
“…… Are you saying I’m cold-hearted?”
“As far as I know, Young master saw a corpse for the first time today. However, there was no agitation at all. I mean he is as unmoved as a corpse.”
There is no reason to be disturbed by a corpse whose face or name is unknown. Besides, it wasn’t the first time I’d seen a corpse.
“More than anything. Young master hired a professional advisor not long ago. For today. Isn’t it to torture the thieves?”
“…….”
Right. A professional torture technician was hired to win Yuria’s favor by torturing the thieves. Because torturing the thieves would help Yuria avenge herself. If YuRia herself said she didn’t like it, she had no intention of doing so, but the possibility was slim.
“Yuria Grace. Wasn’t it also to use her as her sword that you brought her under her command? Since she is Young master who knows the future, she must not be an ordinary person.”
I sighed.
“… Hascent butler. Everything you said is correct. So please stop talking. What does the butler want from me?”
I feel bad, but I am willing to accept Hascent’s request to some extent. And later, when you see an opportunity, you just have to kill it.
“Young master is thinking of killing me.”
Do you have the ability to read people’s minds? I waved my hand in surprise.
“… No. No. What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“Life has leaked out.”
“No way.”
“I am sensitive to murderous intent. Since what I did in the past is work, I instinctively sense a very weak intention to kill or kill. By the way, the number of times I felt the intent to kill as Gongja is a total of 11 so far.”
“…….”
What’s with all these monstrous old men? Are you an aura master? No, even an Aura Master wouldn’t be able to do that.
“There is only one thing I want from Young master.”
“What is?”
“It is an honor for the county of Purcus. If you promise this old man the glory of Pruckus… I will gladly become Young master’s dirty knife and cut through the unknowing worms.”
Goose bumps ran down his spine at the unexpected words.
Hascent’s words are tantamount to swearing allegiance to me.
Glory of Pruckus?
I intend to become the head of Count Pruckus. The prosperity of Pruckus is what I wanted.
There is nothing I have to do or lose for Hascent.
The situation is that the pumpkin has been rolled into the vine.
“I promise. I will make sure that no one ignores Count Pruckus.”
At my answer, the gray-haired butler closed his eyes and bowed his head.
“Please use this old knife properly. You are my master.”
I got two guys today.
