Chapter 29 Master Swordsman Ghreese
There wasn't anything that Zick needed to prepare, most of the time he kept all his belongings in the space ring which he was carrying around with him.
But Zick had few things he needed to do before leaving.
After reaching his room, Zick put dozens of clothes into his space ring. Looking around to see if there was anything he needed, he started walking towards the dining hall.
Butler Von stood beside the dining table preparing for Zick's lunch. Feeling Zick coming to the dining hall, he bowed towards him without hesitation.
"Follow me."
Ordering Butler Von to follow him, Zick walked back to his room.
CLUCK~
Closing the door, Zick sat at the corner of his bed and started explaining about the mission.
Zevkoras had said there would be no support from the Melvix family, which means he could not take Butler Von with him in this mission.
"young master.....I....."
Hearing about the mission, a lost look appeared on Butler Von's face. He had accepted Zick as his lord and started serving him in earnest. In all these four years which he spent with Zick, he had adapted to it quickly.
He wanted to serve someone who is worthy of him and Zick had already shown his talent again and again. Not being able to serve him made him feel lost more than ever.
"Tell me everything about the oath you made."
Zick spoke with still a smile on his face, He wanted to know about the oath which was taken by Butler Von. His trust in people was almost nonexistent, he could only trust things like oaths or contracts now.
Butler became serious again and told Zick about the oath not skipping any minor detail.
'it's better than I thought.....'
Butler Von's oath was a lot stricter than Zick had imagined, he could not harm Zick or the Melvix family in any way. If he harms them from his own free will, his soul would be ripped apart in an instant.
He had to protect Zick by any means possible even if it meant sacrificing himself. Breaking this oath would also result in his soul being ripped apart.
Butler Von had to follow all the orders given by Zick no matter the cost.
Zick found this oath the most satisfying, Butler Von had to follow his order not the Melvix family's at all cost. There were more to the oath but their importance was negligible.
"I will be away for two years, make sure to train in this time properly."
Zick didn't say anything else, in the end he decided to trust Butler Von a little and changed some of his future plans.
Leaving the fact Butler Von couldn't harm the Melvix family everything else was in Zick's favour.
Sending Butler Von away, Zick started training to increase his mana. Now that there were only three days left, sparring with the knight wouldn't increase his battle strength at all. So he just decided to train in his mana.
Three days passed by with Zick spending his time normally training.
Hearing the knocking sound on his door, Zick opened it without hesitation. A man wearing leather armour with the Melvix family crest drawn in it appeared in his view.
"I have come to escort you, young master Zick"
The man with leather armour said bowing towards Zick.
"okay"
Nodding his head, Zick followed the knight. He had already prepared all his belongings a long time ago.
Zick looked at the knight, he looked to be in his mid 20s, he had brown hair and blue eyes.
Zick could not sense his rank from which it was apparent that this knight was in the peak rank. Fighting with high rank knight had already given him enough experience to sense their mana.
But he couldn't sense the mana of the knight in front of him at all.
Walking for a few minutes they reached in front of a door, opening it the knight moved aside for Zick to enter.
Entering the room, Zick could see a blue magic circle drawn on the ground.
'a teleportation circle.....'
Zick entered the magic circle and waited for the knight to activate it. But Zick saw the knight entering the magic circle and took out a blue crystal from his soace ring.
'mana crystal....'
Zick was surprised by the blue crystal in the knight's hand, when he thought about it for a second he felt that it was natural.
The teleportation circle that he was standing on was connected to the battlefield near the Mhydrasvil empire.
Travelling there by carriage usually takes a couple of weeks, using a teleportation circle to travel this distance would take a lot of mana. Using a mana crystal is the best way to make up for the mana consumed.
The Melvix family is one of the wealthiest noble in the whole first continent, buying mana crystal was a very easy task for them. Mages could be used as a substitute for the mana crystal but for a teleportation circle like this a peak rank mage would be needed.
Becoming a high rank mage is already considered as a huge accomplishment, There are only a few people who have been able to become a peak rank mage. Finding a peak rank mage is very hard even for the Melvix family. So using the mana crystal was considered the best way for most people.
Only the magic kingdom, Pheorous, has the capability to use mages of peak rank.
After putting the mana crystal on the teleportation circle, the knight stood beside Zick with no sign of him going out.
'Is he coming with me?'
The teleportation circle activated, both Zick and the knight started turning transparent and then vanished in a few seconds.
**************
BANG!
"Do they take this war as a joke!?"
Within a tent with the Mhydrasvil empire's symbol, a person slammed the table in front of him with an angry look.
Not being able to take the force the table broke into pieces and the paper above it started floating in the air.
The man within the tent who looked to be in his 30s was named Ghreese mecwin, he had red hairs and red eyes which were filled with rage right at the moment. He was the temporary commander of all the knights stationed in the war between the first and second continent.
He is a master swordsman from the Mhydrasvil empire.
At all times a master swordsman must stay in the battlefield in case of any emergency, it was decided by all the three kings.
The master swordsman post changes in every three months, all the three ruling forces take turns in assigning a master swordsman from their own forces.
Right now, Ghreese was assigned as the master swordsman in the battle field and as their temporary commander. He had a letter in his hand, which looked like it was made of high quality material. But it turned into ashes in a second the next moment.
Not being able to control his emotion for a second, his aura had erupted out of his body and burnt the letter reacting his emotions.
It has just been 10 days since he was assigned to the battlefield, but on the 10th day this letter was delivered to him. Seeing the letter was sent by the Melvix family he had thought of it as something important.
But the moment he finished reading it, he could not control his anger and slammed the table in rage.
"Sir! Is everything alright!?"
A knight came running hearing the sound coming from the tent.
"fix the table and pick up all the paper laying in the ground. You can ask the other knight to help as well."
Saying this, Ghreese walked out of the tent with a cold face. According to the letter, a kid who is still in the age of 12 will be participating in the battlefield.
Ghreese was angry to no end reading this, he is loyal to the Mhydrasvil empire and serves the emperor with utmost loyalty and respect. In this war between the first continent and the second continent the Mhydrasvil empire was the one who took most of the damage from it.
He was already feeling uncomfortable with the empire taking the most of the damage, reading this letter had made him lose control of his emotions for a second.
All the master swordsmen keep their emotions in check at all times as it could damage their surroundings.
Walking in front of another tent with the Melvix family crest drawn in it, Ghreese waited for their arrival. In the letter it was mentioned that they would be coming today.
And the only way to reach here so fast was the teleportation circle. With his senses which had long surpassed the limit of humans, he could feel mana fluctuating within the tent.
'They are coming....'
With a bright blue light the tent started glowing for a few seconds and then it returned to normal.
Two people came out of the tent, one was a knight who was in the peak rank and a kid at the age of 12 who was a middle rank knight.
'no....he is going to reach the peak of the middle rank soon'
Ghreese was surprised by this but didn't let it show in the face.
Walking in front of him the knight beside Zick passed another letter to Ghreese, Taking it he started frowning. Opening the letter, he started reading what was written in it-
(Put him at the front lines)
There was only this one line on the letter, reading this Ghreese eyes widened.
'They want me to put him at the front lines..?'
