Episode 12 Didn’t You Know It Was Like This?
#
“Take this… take this.”
What Gerard gave Ian was unexpectedly a healing potion.
This was produced in the Magic Continent, and in this place called the Sword Continent, it was one of the precious treasures that remained only as ancient relics.
‘It is said that if you drink it, you can save even a scar right before you die.’
In short, a miracle drug.
If I had to point out the downside, it was too strong and quick to heal.
It was ironic, but it was true. For example, if you use a potion without aligning the bones, it will heal in a broken state, and your hands will stick strangely.
Anyway, Ian looked at Gerard and looked at the same thing.I was just staring.
What is this potion about?
By then, Gerrard was rather embarrassed and opened his mouth.
“I think the prince doesn’t know what this is. Speaking of this drug, it is said that even a patient who is about to die can be quickly revived.”
He began to explain earnestly to the prince who seemed to know nothing about Gain’s medicine.
Eventually, Ian found out.
‘ah! A potion like that would be precious now. It will be so common in the future that I forgot.’
This is because the healing potion was very cheap due to the discovery of certain ruins in the future.
What Gerard is holding is expensive now, but in the future, it will have a low-level value.
Ian was not very moved to know that.
But if you sell such a potion at the current market price.
‘It’s enough to buy a villa for any nobleman.’
At the same time, Ian recalled a certain memory.
He was talking about a family that discovered and monopolized the remains.
‘Are the dukes must have obtained the ruins of making those potions?’
The Duke owned several legions from the sale of potions. And it became one of the great game-changing forces in the succession war.
In other words, something his enemy would have.
Ian smiled an ominous smile for a moment.
‘great. I’ll have to take that too.’
But that was also for a while.
“Anyway, I hope the prince will accept this.”
“!”
Gerrard looked more serious than ever.
And although this recovery potion will become common in the future, it is a precious commodity at this point.
It’s about giving yourself that precious thing.
So Ian was suspicious.
“Why did you do that to me…”
At those words, Gerrard exchanged glances with Line.
nod
It’s as if the eyes are from now on.
Gerrard said to Ian.
“Before I say anything, I have one thing to tell you.”
“Yes?”
“Actually, this is a line of noble blood.”
“Noble blood?”
“So… that’s…”
Gerrard was speechless. His gaze turned to none other than Galon and Nathan.
Precisely, the soldiers with them.
And more precisely, in the
But he quickly made up his mind. He said with a firm expression.
“In fact, the Rhine are descended from the duke.”
“Yes?”
“In the past, the three dukes, the intellectual Adria. She is the only remaining descendant there.”
Ian was terribly surprised.
He had no choice but to do so.
“If it’s the 3rd duke…!”
There were currently two dukes in this Kaistein Kingdom.
Lavaltor and Garcia, who has now come to visit him.
However, there were originally three leading dukes who served the king.
The helpless Lavaltor
adria of intelligence
garcia of gold
However, Adria in
I did.
‘As he is from a family of intellect, did he show his abilities as a genius strategist?’
The genius brain that was passed down from generation to generation was also a threat to the two dukes. So it was Lyra that he was slaughtered.
But what if the bloodline, which he would have been relieved of knowing that he had lost it all, remained in the world?
“We have been greatly favored by the Duke of Adria in the past. So I was in charge of Rhine, the only survivor of the family. The healing potion is also the item the Duke entrusted to me.”
“!”
So Ian made a more mysterious expression.
Why are you trying to give yourself such a precious and meaningful thing?
Gerrard opened his mouth with a bitter expression.
“At first, I tried to write right away. Aside from what the Duke of Adria entrusted to me, Rhine is a precious person to me as well.”
But as a result, thanks to Ian, the lineI lost my breath to write.
“So please take this.”
Ian was surprised inside.
‘Did you mean to write to Line?’
This potion has considerable healing power, but if used clumsily, aftereffects occurred.
And if you blindly use this for a leg injury like a line, you’ll be lame…
‘uh? So maybe that’s why the line was crippled?’
It could be because I just didn’t get treatment on time.
Anyway, Gerard gave Ion a potion had several meanings. One of them thought of breaking his own indecisive mind.
Another one.
“And we want you to accept us.”
“!”
Future mercenary king Gerard, genius strategist Line. The two bowed their heads toward Ian.
Both were explicit expressions of their desire to follow Prince Ian.
A moment of silence passed.
Ian answered.
“I haven’t been properly appointed as a prince yet.”
“I know.”
Ian narrowed her brow.
“I am heading towards the duke, not the royal family.”
“I know that too!”
Gerrard said firmly.
“Nevertheless, we want to follow the prince!”
“!”
Even if the duke who takes Ion is the enemy of the Lane’s maimed dynasty. Even if Ion becomes the duke’s puppet.
“And whenever the prince needs it. I will be back then.”
It was the moment when Gerard looked at Ian with a strong will.
[Anywhere, if you need it…]
Light began to gather towards Gerard.
Ian’s eyes widened at the light.
It is none other than the light of [oath].
It was the fact that the article was born out of a sincere dedication.
‘Ability that cannot be manifested unless you are a knight.’
And that day.
Ion obtained a mercenary king and a genius strategist with an oath.
*
“From here on, this is the Duke’s estate.”
At Galon’s words, Ion poked his face out of the wagon. The duke’s castle could be seen in the distance with the huge wall.
Just by looking at the long line to enter the castle, you can tell the duke’s power.
But Ian’s eyes turned cold.
‘It’s been a while, but it feels like it’s been a long time.’
Now Ian would be living there for a while.
‘There must be a peacock in there.’
Finally, I will meet him for the first time. And surviving the first day there is the first gateway.
Then Gerard approached the carriage. But his face was strange.
“Isn’t it better to see with both eyes?”
“Yes. thank you majesty.”
Gerrard apparently lost one of his eyes in battle. But now his eyes are fine.
“It was dangerous, but you won’t feel uncomfortable watching it.”
Ian healed Gerrard’s injured eye. He had lost one eye in the past, but now it is different.
He was a poisoned wound, and the assassin had a combination of antidote to cure it.
And the difference between having eyes and not having eyes will be vastly different in terms of power.
‘It will be different from your swordsmanship skills.’
But Ian didn’t show it.
“You are much taller because you can see well in both eyes.”
“Prince.”
“If you thank me, please do your best. Until we meet again sometime.”
Gerrard, moved by Ian’s words, smiled and bowed his head.
“thank you. Then we will go.”
A normal escort mission was to the fortress. But that’s all they promised. Since he had already received the mission completion certificate and commission reward from the centurion, there was no reason to stay any longer.
However, Gerard and Rhine decided to become Ian’s subordinates.
Even though I thought I wanted to do a crafting project with Ian.
– That’s not the case. Then there will be people who will doubt our relationship. peacock radishI don’t even know what to do.
Gerrard had no choice but to give up on what Ian had said the day before.
It was not simply a matter of doubt.
-The former assassin was in the hands of the Duke.
-yes? Isn’t that right… the amulet with the marquise’s pattern on it…
-no. It was the duke’s order. The centurion was also with them. The goal was probably… Me and Line.
The evidence was sufficient.
When I heard the voice stored in [Amulet of the Sky], I could tell just by looking at the changes in the facial colors of Gerard and Rhine.
So they decided to part.
“Before I leave, I will give this to the prince. It will definitely help.”
“!”
Receiving something, Ian saw Gerard and his mercenaries as they left.
Of course, I had a question.
‘It must have been the light of the oath.’
The light emanating from Gerard’s body.
No one other than Ian noticed, but it was clearly the light of the [oath] that only knights could have.
It was clear that Gerard had obtained the [Oath] through a change of heart.
But since then, Gerrard hasn’t said much.
‘Someday I will see that oath again.’
That was when Ian was thinking.
“Wow, that greeting isn’t dirty, what did those idiots who disappeared without even making eye contact with me gave me now?”
Nathan came closer.
But it was that moment.
“Prince! What did you get from them!”
The centurion who had followed Nathan screamed in horror.
Ian casually showed the badge in his hand.
“This one?”
Ian showed the hand he received from Gerrard.
It had a red gem engraved on the plate with the mark of the mercenary corps.
“If you take it to the Mercenary Guild, I will guide you to Gerard and Rhine…”
“Damn… crazy!”
Cursing came out of the white man’s mouth.
“Give me a mercenary plaque! These guys?”
“Are you losing the mercenaries?”
“It’s called a mercenary benefactor. If it’s one of them, the mercenary guild will treat you like a benefactor!”
“Ho? Is it?”
Ian looked casually on his face, and Baek Baek pounded his chest.
The mercenary platoon is one of the few tokens of mercenaries given only to the benefactor of the mercenary corps. If there is, you can get help with the favor of the mercenaries.
‘By the way, that precious tile goes to a kid who doesn’t know the value of that tile, and that goes to a mere bastard!’
It was the white man who was furious about that fact.
But Nathan, who was next to him, had a sinister expression on his face.
“The mercenary corps lose? Is that true?”
The centurion, who could not hear the words, muttered in the end.
“her. That’s right, the dirty things that the lowly guys gave me…”
But the white man was speechless.
snuggle
Seeing Ion staring at him without a word, he was terrified.
“Come on, I was wrong!”
Ian’s hand was fiddling with the ring holding his life.
Unlike the terrified centurion, Nathan.
“If you’re going to use that card later, please take me with you.”
He was laughing enough to say.
But Ian soon tilted his head.
It was natural.
“Gallon. Where are you going now?”
The direction of the soldiers at the front of the party was strange.
It’s not going to the front door, it’s going sideways.
It wasn’t just that.
“What did you say now!”
“No, that’s what…”
Nathan’s men began a small brawl with the gatekeepers.
‘In the past, soldiers had never raised their voices like that.’
It was clearly different from the past.
But Ian knew for sure what had happened.
Ion called Galon, who seemed to have come to understand the situation without showing any expression.
“Sir Gallon. What happenedis it.”
“that is···”
Galon did not readily answer.
However, the white man, who came to investigate the situation together, opened his mouth with impetus.
“This is an instruction from above. I think we should enter the castle through the back door, not the front door.”
“What? it’s crazy?”
Ian narrowed his forehead at Nathan’s cry.
The back door, not the front door.
In the past, I did not understand how shameful and disgraceful it was. However, as a result, he suffered countless humiliation and realized something.
‘Once you start to look down, you’ll be hit without end.’
It was natural for Nathan, who was next to him, to be angry.
‘No one has ever been angry for me in the past.’
But that wasn’t the point now.
At this rate, as in the past, he would be ignored by other nobles and dukes.
The white man smiled mischievously.
“Anyway, I think you should go in through the back door. What would you like to do?”
Then, unexpectedly, Ian replied with a smile.
“Please.”
“I thought the words would make sense. Prince.”
The centurion also burst into laughter at Ian’s decision. But that was also for a while.
The white man’s expression suddenly changed.
“Wow… Prince? Where are you going now?!”
Ian left the group.
He was unstoppable, as if he was going the way he knew.
“Prince?!”
Ian smiled brightly like the sun.
“I don’t really like the back door. Only the centurion and the soldiers need to go there. I’m going to the front door.”
“Wow, Prince!”
The white man tried to catch him, but to no avail.
“Hey!”
It was because Ion drove his horse and ran to the front door.
Unlike him who entrusted his life to someone in the past.
“Wait. Prince!”
Ian.
He was definitely running his own path.
