Chapter 775 – 775. Scripture Encounters (3)
Eunhyeon slowly looked at Durandal’s condition.
“Condition is good. Since it has just been awakened, the power of the holy sword itself is still incomplete, but in proportion to Cha Han-seong’s growth, Durandal will grow along with it.”
“Dad! Can’t this sword transform like we do?”
“That will be a little difficult.”
Even though they have the same divinity and have awakened their egos, Durandal is clearly different from the gold or silver moon.
In the case of the awakening of the half-god who officially inherited the divine power of Belldandi and Eunhyeon, and in the case of awakening by dwelling in the two swords, and in the case of the sword itself awakening.
Of course, the price of gold and silver was bound to be higher.
“I’m sorry…”
[… Sorry.]
Ironically, it was Durandal who apologized when he saw that face expressing disappointment.
Geum-wol and Eun-wol, who had just awakened to their selves, were still just children, but judging by the age at which they were created, the two girls were more senior.
Moreover, since the difference in strength they possessed was remarkably high, Durandal couldn’t help but feel sorry for offending the great senior.
[Later… I will also grow up and borrow the power of the contractor to make sure I can materialize my body.]
“Uh? Really!?”
“… Really?”
The two girls’ eyes sparkled at Durandal’s unexpected promise.
In fact, even Durandal did not know if that was possible.
Although the current month and the silver month made it possible, there was a difference in status as a weapon.
The two girls are undoubtedly weapons called ‘Divine Swords’, but at the same time, they are definitely ‘Gods’.
[Yes. I promise.]
“Huh! I’ll wait!”
“Let’s meet.”
“Durandal. Even if you make a promise like that…”
It is not clear whether this is possible or not, but Cha Han-seong raised his voice of concern, thinking that he might have been too hasty.
Durandal was quick to retort.
[I can’t disappoint them. Can not help it. Try. Contractor.]
Durandal’s resolute answer changed to the goal of making Cha Han-seong a higher level.
“… Ha.”
“First of all, I heard what Eunhyeon said directly from Durandal. But… It’s stuffy because they don’t tell me what kind of training I have to do.”
Cha Han-seong was frustrated because he couldn’t find the answer to specifically what and how to grow and how to use Durandal better.
Durandal’s explanation is very simple.
Train hard
Improve physical strength and muscle strength, which are the foundation of swordsmanship, and do not neglect the practice of magic.
That is what Cha Hanseong is doing steadily.
Although he did not skip the regular training of the Artia Knights and continued to digest them, Cha Han-seong was not satisfied with that.
It was also a more appropriate expression than satisfaction.
‘Is this really okay?’
Durandal is an ordinary weapon, the holy sword.
Wouldn’t there be a more important quality or training method to deal with it?
Even when I asked the questions that popped into my head, Durandal couldn’t give me more details.
This is because it is the first time that he has awakened his self and fulfilled his role as a holy sword.
“… Hmm.”
Eunhyeon recognized his mental state right away.
“You are impatient, you are.”
“…”
His face hardened as if he had been stabbed.
“What are you in such a hurry for?”
“That, that…”
Cha Hanseong glanced at Riod, who was quietly drinking tea next to him.
‘Is that the reason I can’t speak in front of Leo?’
If it’s the reason why he looks at Riod, there was only one thought that came to Eunhyeon’s head.
‘Is it because of Eira?’
Currently, his growth engine is Eira.
Is it because she wants to show her good side by becoming even a little bit stronger and stand next to her with confidence?
It may be a simpler and childish idea than you think, but I do not deny that it can also be a great motivation for growth.
However, Cha Han-seong’s problem now was not a problem that even Eun-hyeon could do anything about.
How to train to be able to use the holy sword better?
There’s no way Eun-hyun knew that.
He’s never used a holy sword before.
“Hmm.”
After thinking for a while, Eunhyun called for Leo.
“Leod.”
“Hmm.”
“Is the training intensity of the knights very high?”
“Well. I never really thought about it.”
In fact, the training itself within the Arthia Knights is simple.
The degree of basic physical training and simulated sparring between members.
I could say that it was only that, but by digesting that training, the Knights of Artia currently have the strongest position in the Kingdom of Pernias, so it would not be easy to say empty words.
However, no one seemed to think that it was a training that could not be endured.
If so, wouldn’t there have been people who could not endure the training and quit the Knights?
In the first place, Riod did not even select those who were weak and lacking in spirit to the extent that they could not endure the training.
“Then, what about Cha Han-sung?”
“Yes? Mmm. It was hard at first.”
Even before Cha Han-sung joined the Knights, he had laid some groundwork while working as an adventurer, but as expected, the training of the Artia Knights was difficult.
“Still, it wasn’t to the extent that I didn’t want to eat it. And as time passed, I was able to realize that I became somewhat stronger.”
It was rewarding to persevere and digest training.
“Haha. Is that so.”
Eunhyun smiled at Cha Hanseong.
“Leod. This person. Can I borrow it for a while if I have nothing else to do?”
“Borrowing?”
“Sooner or later, we will set up a training schedule to increase the power of Heilang. I want to include Cha Han-sung in that schedule. Is it possible?”
“… Eunhyun. No way.”
Liod, vaguely realizing what Eunhyeon was thinking, frowned.
The training he plans is a bit different from the standard training currently being conducted within his knights.
Eun-hyeon, who didn’t care about the eyes of such a friend, proposed to Cha Han-seong.
“It will be a little different training from the regular training of the Knights. In any form, it will definitely help you too.”
It was impossible for Eunhyeon to suggest a way to handle the holy sword better.
Also, because it’s something I’ve never experienced before.
However, it is possible to suggest a slightly different direction to him who has doubts about his own strength and longs for a higher realm.
“Would you like to try it?”
“…”
Cha Han-seong did not readily accept Eun-hyeon’s proposal.
The proposal itself was tempting, but Cha Han-seong was a knight belonging to the Knights.
It was because he was well aware that he belonged to a position where arbitrary individual actions were not tolerated.
He shifted his gaze and looked into Leo’s eyes.
Riod, who had furrowed his eyebrows as if something had bothered him for a moment, was silent with a grave expression before he knew it.
Eun-hyeon and Cha Han-seong recognized that Riod was thinking in their heads and quietly waited for an answer.
Eventually, Leo’s mouth opened.
“Good night. Hansung Cha. I will give you the position of external auditor.”
“Comptroller… Is it?”
Cha Hanseong was surprised and asked back.
He had even heard of what external auditors do.
A position that seeks out and punishes disobedient forces that commit or plan to commit corruption or treason within the kingdom.
He referred to the so-called “Secret police”-Like position.
But what was strange was that appointing and managing that external auditor was not the role of the Arthia Knights.
“I am surprised. Isn’t that the secret police directly under the royal family?”
What surprised me was Eunhyeon, who was completely unexpected.
“I was appointed by Her Majesty the Queen a few days ago. He said it was because he judged me to be more suitable and trustworthy.”
There is no denying that Riod is a suitable person because he is well known for his reputation and integrity not only within the kingdom but also in other countries.
Even so, this is the same as transferring part of the royal family’s authority to Riod.
For Queen Yuria, it is no different than launching her superpower.
“Perhaps it was conscious of you.”
The real intention must be that, being conscious of Eun-hyun, who is close to Liode, the operation of the secret police will be easier with his help.
Queen YuRia’s intentions were so obvious.
‘I’m the only one who wants to die like this and work? It can’t be.’
There is a perception that part of the power of the royal family is separated and transferred, but from another point of view, there were many ulterior motives to pass on some of the accumulated work to Eun-hyeon.
Perhaps this is her true intention.
Eunhyun, who grasped the meaning, muttered with a laugh.
“It’s like such a wild queen.”
“Just pretend you didn’t hear that.”
Riod paid no attention to his friend who casually wentssiped about the ruler who was like his lord.
“External auditors are not that easy.”
Because you have to wander around the kingdom, and you have to act alone, you are easily exposed to various dangers and unexpected situations.
It is also a position that requires constant suspicion of people as much as they have to investigate people’s secrets or crimes.
“I won’t ask you to do anything right now. Right now, the Knights aren’t prepared for running this auditor’s department.”
Giving Cha Han-seong the position of external auditor was nothing more than creating an excuse for him to act independently.
It was a very considerate treatment for Leo.
“The decision is yours.”
“… I’ll do it.”
Cha Han-seong’s worries were not that long.
Riod, who confirmed the answer with firm determination and eyes, just replied that he knew it with a silent nod.
“Then, I will send someone later to inform you of the date and future schedule.”
“… All right. Thank you.”
What kind of training
Cha Han-seong was curious about him, but he didn’t ask it right away.
When I glanced at Liod’s eyes, his expression wasn’t that good.
“Dad! Can I play with that sword?”
“Me too…”
As the story came to an end, the two children grabbed the hem of Eun-hyeon’s clothes and waved them.
“That…”
Eunhyun smiled bitterly and tried to say no to that.
No matter how familiar and higher-level an entity may be, Durandal is definitely a weapon owned by Cha Han-seong.
[Mi, I’m sorry… Because I couldn’t teach you proper manners…]
On the contrary, it was Eunhyeon who had to say that he had no face.
Originally, it was an apology to be given to Cha Han-seong, but only Eun-hyeon heard the apology from Belldandi, who had not appeared in front of him.
However, surprisingly, it was Durandal who responded positively to the two daughters’ rude questions.
[I’m sorry, but… We will do our best to live up to your expectations.]
“Lol. Really!?”
“Thank you.”
Durandal, who adhered to a very low-key attitude that did not fit the title of the holy sword, had to spend the day being swayed by two young girls.
