Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius

Episode 181

: The way back to the castle.

Unlike the hard work they had done to bring us in, the elves were surprisingly cool when sending us out.

There were no elves preventing me from leaving.

On the contrary, he seemed happy that the annoying stranger had disappeared on his own.

But there’s nothing to be happy about, it’ll come back the next day anyway.

This is an opportunity to become stronger all at once, so you have to make the most of it.

Originally, he planned to sleep in the elf village and go in and out of the World Tree, but Count Warrug and Lanos caught him.

And since this has come to an end, I’m going to bring the hatchling.

If you drink the spring water of the World Tree, you will feel better than you are now.

‘This is another big harvest.’

When I came, I didn’t bring much with me, but when I returned, I moved heavily with the spring water of the World Tree.

I never thought the fluttering feeling would be this good.

“Huh… I never thought I would drink all the water from the World Tree in my lifetime, but isn’t that something we will live to see in the world for a long time?”

“That’s right!”

Lanos shouted loudly at Count Warrug’s words.

If it had been before, he would have scolded the sound, saying it could attract monsters and enemies, but Count Warrug was now more lenient than ever.

I gained a lot from this job.

The spring of the World Tree was one thing, but the greatest benefit was none other than making peace with the elves.

“Now I don’t have to worry about getting stabbed in the back.”

Although the elves ostracize races other than themselves, they keep their promises.

There were no lies between them in the first place.

They were honest and took it for granted that they would keep their promises.

That’s why he despised people who made promises and then broke them for profit.

Because they are different from themselves.

Those elves agreed to peace.

At least as long as the Kairos are not wiped out and unable to recover, Easton will be able to maintain peace with the Elves.

In addition, they decided to add their strength to each other in times of emergency, so considering the powerful power of the spirits, there was no better outcome than this.

My steps are light.

Although the water bag was filled with water from the World Tree and felt heavy, my heart felt lighter than ever.

The reason the elves came to visit in the first place was not for peace.

‘It’s a perfect situation to say that you caught a mouse while walking backwards. Regardless of the elf’s reaction, I went to drive out the Kairos guys and came back after making peace.’

I was already looking forward to seeing how the Marquis of Easton would react after hearing this.

“This is all thanks to you, Raymond. “I don’t know how you knew, but your wit helped me achieve the best results.”

Count Warrug patted my shoulder and smiled brightly.

As we passed through the Forest of Elf, it was the first time I felt that the mountain path was so comfortable.

Plants such as trees moved out of the way and the uneven land became smooth.

Even the steep ground became flat as the soil gathered together, so I was able to return comfortably as if I had just come out of Masil.

That was the elves’ consideration.

A small reward for keeping the promise to cure the World Tree.

And it was also an indirect way of saying that I would like to ask you to take good care of me in the future.

Knowing that, I did not deny that Count Warrug was mine.

Lanos was just staring at me blankly.

Not only did he not come forward, but even if he did, things would not get better.

It was no exaggeration to say that I did this entirely on my own.

“We will be the first humans in the kingdom to hear the elves tell us to come again next time.”

“you’re right. Moreover, he said that the next time he visits, he will be treated properly as a guest.”

“That’s right. Aren’t you curious? “What about the spirit’s power?”

“I wonder. “Next time I go, I think I’ll ask to spar.”

“That’s good. All of those experiences will become your bones and flesh, giving you strength. “This makes my blood boil for the first time in a while.”

Count Warrug and Lanos were very excited.

He looked like he was going crazy because he was a guest of the elves and was looking forward to sparring with them.

“You’re excited.”

“Then you’re excited or not? It is peace with those elves. You have accomplished something that has not been possible for fifty years. “You need to be more confident in this.”

“Is that so…”

Hearing that, it definitely makes me feel like what I did was amazing.

Yes, let’s be happy.

Now was the time to rejoice.

We returned to the castle at such a quick pace.

“It’s Lord Bane!”

“Lanos is back!”

“Prepare to be hit!”

The rangers recognized us from afar and made a fuss.

At that sight, we burst out laughing without anyone else being the first to say it.

It felt like coming home.

The tension was relieved.

“A good savage!”

“A dead savage!”

“Pass!”

After exchanging the passwords we had previously discussed, the rangers moved quickly and opened the side door.

As I entered through the small door, barely big enough for one person to fit in, I was soon surrounded by a crowd of people.

The knights and rangers were delighted with our return.

“The commander is calling. “Please come with me.”

While we were being cheered by the people, a knight with his helmet pressed down approached us and led us to the marquis.

As we entered the command barracks, we received harsh looks from our retainers.

The gaze was not negative.

Rather, it was warm and soft. They look purely happy to have returned safely.

But there was work to be done before expressing it.

report.

Count Warrug stepped forward and spoke briefly about what happened while we were in the elf forest.

“oh my god!”

“Huh!”

“How could that be…!”

Listening to Count Warrug’s words, each of the vassals let out exclamations of exclamation.

Count Warrug didn’t tell everything.

The things I did on my own were completely omitted from the report.

Lanos didn’t say anything about it either.

This is because I know how dangerous and suspicious the actions I did were.

I couldn’t give them, who were already very wary, a variable.

Would there be any reason to tell them and make their head explode?

It was enough for me and Warrug Count Lanos to know that.

I’m still thinking about how to explain it to Count Warrug, but if I have to explain it to them too, I think I won’t be able to endure it and will run away.

Using my head like this was rat poison.

It would have been a hundred times better to overwork my body.

“That happened.”

The Marquess of Easton, who had listened to Count Warrug’s words, which had been appropriately condensed and changed, nodded briefly in admiration.

“You really worked hard. “You worked hard.”

He stands up. Then he approached us.

His scarred hand came out and tapped Count Warrug’s shoulder.

He then patted Lanos on the shoulder and continued speaking.

“If it weren’t for your hard work, we wouldn’t have seen these results. Thanks to you, I feel like I can breathe again. Thank. “This is how I express my gratitude.”

He bowed before us.

It was impossible for a superior to bow down to a subordinate.

However, what is interesting is that his vassals did not dissuade the Marquis of Easton from his actions.

Instead, he smiled softly and nodded as if it was natural.

‘different. It’s definitely different.’

Looking at it, I felt that the Marquis of Easton was different from other nobles.

If you think about it, his behavior was far from that of an ordinary nobleman.

Just eating a meal together with soldiers was like that.

He was not intoxicated with his power.

Rather, he felt responsible for the power he had and treated the soldiers working under him properly.

Therefore, even though the Marquis of Easton is a barren and bloody place where one might die at any time, there is not a single deserter.

“You can’t sit still on a beautiful day like this. It’s a feast! Go now and tell the chef to kill the pig! And release the wine!”

“yes!”

“I’ll tell you to get ready right away!”

The vassals’ faces turn red and they shout.

They called the soldier outside and told him what the Marquis of Easton had said.

The soldiers were seen running towards the kitchen, overjoyed at those words.

“Marquis, are you serious about that?”

“What?”

“I mean, drinking alcohol.”

The Marquis of Easton burst into laughter at Count Warrug’s shocked reaction.

“So you think I’m talking nonsense? Do I see someone like that?”

“I know that’s not true, but… isn’t it extremely rare for the Marquis to let you drink? “As far as I know, I haven’t even mentioned that in the last five years.”

“How can a person live with such tightness? If there are days like that, there are days like now. And I think you are mistaken, but you and I will not drink wine.”

“Hmm…”

Count Warrug closed his mouth at his words.

The Marquis of Easton smiled and said to him who sighed, saying he knew that would happen.

“It’s such an auspicious day. Shouldn’t I drink some liquor with you? “I have good liquor.”

“Oh my… I can’t stand the Marquis.”

“That’s my charm. And since it is not good to be too relaxed, each soldier will be allowed to drink only one glass, and after that, he will drink sheep’s milk.”

“That is enough. “They were already people who said they wanted to drink, so it worked out well.”

The retainers rushed to leave their seats.

The Marquis smiled happily at them.

***

The Marquis of Easton’s castle, which was always quiet, became noisy.

Acrid smoke rose and the fragrant smell of pigs lingered around the castle.

“Khahahaha!”

“How much wine is this?”

“It’s been five years! “It’s the first wine in five years!”

“Glory to the Marquis for allowing me wine!”

It was only one cup.

The soldiers were happy with that one drink.

They did not complain about the small amount of wine.

This is because I know how big of a decision the Marquis made just by letting me drink wine.

“It’s the Marquis!”

“Everyone shut up!”

At that time, the Marquis appeared on the podium and everyone looked at him with their mouths closed.

The Marquis, holding a glass of wine in one hand and a pig’s rib in the other, opened his mouth.

“Today is a very auspicious day! “Those stubborn elves opened their hearts to us and made peace!”

“Oooooh!”

“Now we have one enemy! Kairos! They are our main enemies! They are strong! Enough to be eaten by a red hawk! But I’m not worried! Because I know the power of my soldiers! Because I know your will! “I believe!”

“Soldiers, proud Eastern Soldiers! Rejoice today! “A lot of things will change around today!”

“And be thankful! To our close friends who created this opportunity! Raymond! Lanos! Lord Bane created this opportunity. “Of course, it’s only right to express our gratitude!”

“Oooooh!”

The soldiers shout at the Marquis’ words.

And he sent passionate eyes towards us.

“Enjoy today! But always be alert! Remember, there is Kairos stalking us like a lion, waiting for our guard to be let down! Have fun and be alert!”

With those words, the Marquis of Easton came down from the podium.

His words were contradictory.

I have to be on guard, but I’m having fun. But none of the soldiers complained about those words.

Instead, they cheered and were happy.

Their heat made me feel hot too.
