Chapter 65
65Woe Geobric, after that
Golden Lion Guild Headquarters.
Founded by S-class hunter Hwang Geum-cheol as an emerging guild in Korea, this guild boasted a solid position as a leading teenage guild until recently..
But Cheongju Gate and Jeju Island Gate. Heavy damage during successive gate attacks.
Although it has increased fame and fame, it has no real substance. Above all, losing the guild's first-team veteran raid team was an irreplaceable loss..
But the Golden Lion Guild will definitely recover from this wound..
As long as the guild master, Golden Iron, is there, the Golden Lion Guild will not collapse..
However, this is not a situation where you can just relax. Because of the continuous loss of life, the Golden Lion Guild's quarterly performance was falling day by day. Nevertheless…….
"I'm still training?"
"my sister~"
Hwang Yeon-ha looked worriedly at my brother, who has been living in the training room since the Jeju Island Gate..
"My bones are sore."
"……Well, I'm done with everything I have to do.."
The younger one knows why my older brother acts like that. Like ordinary siblings, they regard each other as enemies, but they are similar..
"I thought it was pretty strong.."
There are only 20 S-class members in Korea. Guild leader of a teenage guild. The most destructive Korean hunter.
But it was a frog in the well. The real strength was different.
Holy Grail Knight Geobrick.
An unprecedented strongman whose strength, faith, and will cannot even be compared..
Not only them but also the hundreds of knights under them would have been praised as renowned strongmen in Korea..
"Holy Grail Knight……."
Who on earth are they?.
How could he be so strong and have such a firm will? Above all──
"It's cool.."
"what… sympathy."
How was it possible to make such a wonderful final decision?.
It seemed like there was no way to resolve my complicated feelings..
* * * *
Yongwan Lee is greedy.
He liked money and enjoyed seeing his accumulated wealth..
It is said that Korea's top teenage guilds are close to the political world and wield omnipotent power, but surprisingly, for Lee Yong-wan, power was nothing more than a means to increase his wealth..
patriotism? A sense of justice? Such childish things don’t help you make money..
In modern times, if you don't get ridiculed for being childish, it's a stereotype..
「We, the dead, are willing to give up our lives for the future of the living.!」
"Phew……."
Lee Yong-wan opened his eyes and realized that what was in sight was his office..
"Okay… Did you doze off?."
This is because I stayed up all night for post-processing after the Jeju Island gate. Actually, it was a big deal that I was procrastinating because I couldn't get things done..
"I'm not in a good mood these days.."
The main character of the voice is Ha Yu-ri. She is an S-class hunter and vice-guild leader of the Phoenix Guild and usually acts as Lee Yong-wan's secretary..
Administrative work seems to be rat poison, so the work is sketchy..
"Do you think it bothers me? To the point of having nightmares."
"……It's noisy."
"If you have a problem, it is best to consult with someone who knows how to solve it. There's only one person on this planet who can answer your questions."
Lion heart king. Lee Yong-wan chuckled when his name was mentioned..
"That classist? I'm glad you don't get criticized."
"Surprisingly, he seems to be the type of person who can communicate well.."
"joy……."
I owe him my life. But that didn't mean he had any intention of becoming friends. This is because Lee Yong-wan and Leon are opposites of opposites..
"Now that the situation has been resolved... I should say thank you. The gift... Send it on your own."
"I am sending you treasure number 7.?"
"Oh, kinda! How much does it cost?!"
Ha Yu-ri chuckled as she saw Yong-wan Lee yelling as if he was in a fever..
"You know there's a big guild meeting next week to discuss tax exemption legislation, right? They sent me a dress code.."
"Damn, I forgot. Where did it come from??"
"Cheongseong, Mujin, Shark… What is the new sword? I think most of the teenage guilds will come.."
"Now that this much has been gathered, the government probably won't be able to hold out any longer. Since it was difficult, even if we increase the tax exemption amount by about 20%,……."
「Take it. Even if I lack horsemanship, I will follow the king's words..」
「an honorable life.」
「May the gods protect you.」
"……."
"Yongwan Lee?"
Honor, justice, glory. Those useless things…….
"Tsk."
Lee Yong-wan suddenly started feeling sick in his stomach. I couldn't explain why. It just hurts..
"Please tell them that I cannot attend because I am sick.."
"5There's work left?"
"I'm going to be sick until then.."
After seeing those articles, the mountain of wealth didn't feel so trivial..
only.
Because I saw something so intense. Wait, I just lost interest in making money for a brief moment..
It will happen.
* * * *
Hari came to the training ground today as per his morning routine..
But these days, even though I leave earlier than that, I see familiar faces at the training ground..
"Suho, did you sleep well??"
"Yes, sister."
Han Su-ho, the younger brother from the same orphanage, came out of the men's dormitory cleanly..
The boy is holding his own sword and shield and is pounding on the scarecrow that Yapi had set up for training purposes. It is not just a scarecrow, but a member of the goddess Demera who guards the fields..
"Hello, Senior Han.."
"Senior Hari, good morning!"
And Cheon So-yeon and Kim Jae-hyuk came to say hello after seeing Hari come in..
Cheon So-yeon was always quick, so even so, it was surprising that even Kim Jae-hyuk, who likes to play, came to the morning training site..
"Jaehyuk is being sincere these days? Even at the academy, the morning canter is always missing.."
"what… Because I saw something like that.."
Jaehyuk scratched his cheek in embarrassment and blushed as if he was remembering the object of his admiration..
The three people here couldn't figure out what Jaehyuk was talking about..
"Is it an article?……."
The four people saw beings called knights at the Jeju Island gate..
At first, I thought that chivalry, honor, and glory were unique characteristics of Leon..
People like Leon are particularly picky about things like that..
but it wasn't.
The Holy Grail Knight, said to be the pinnacle of knighthood, and the Kingdom Knight, said to be a formal knight. Biographical articles that are not even official articles.
It was a strength that could not help but satisfy the strict standards of being a knight of Leon..
It's not just about force.
All of them were honorable, brave, and armed with firm faith and faith..
Even though the power they had was similar, the will they had was not even comparable..
"Your Majesty, are we really… Do you think it can be an article like that??"
Everyone could not open their mouths due to Suho’s resignation..
Until a week ago, they thought they could.
45Among the 100 knight trainees, there are only four knights. It was only yesterday that I was flirting with the idea that if I trained well, I would be recognized as a knight of the kingdom, and that I might even be called a knight in Korea..
But now they know.
The status of a knight and the honorific title “Lord” meant to Leon..
A knight is not simply someone who is good at fighting..
They must be honorable, seek glory, and are willing to sacrifice their lives for their comrades..
Even knights of pilgrimage and even soldiers were like that..
The comparison was so realistic that it made me realize why Leon devalues the superhuman hunters of this Earth..
From his perspective, the Hunters would have been seen as nothing more than mercenary babblers who only wanted money..
'wait for a sec…….'
Hari suddenly felt strange..
I realized the standard of the articles. How excellent and upright they are. then…….
'What about His Majesty, who fought alone for 200 years at that peak?…….'
What kind of fight has he been fighting??
* * * *
"Sir Spinner. From now on, you will take charge of it.."
-taking over.
After handing over the training of the trainees to Yappy, Leon headed to the knight training ground..
Even though it is a training ground for knights, it is just another training ground isolated from the trainees, and there is nothing special about it except that the space is large enough to run horses..
Here, Leon summoned the holy sword and began training in swordsmanship..
300Training that I have repeated every single day for 10 years of my life..
The times I spent with the knights of the Archduchy, with the colleagues I met while wandering, and with the soldiers and knights after becoming king..
Suddenly I turned around and now there was only one person left..
"Phew……."
Since becoming a Holy Grail Knight, he has not lost his physical vitality..
No matter how intense the fight is, it never gets tired, no illness can invade it, and it always maintains perfect vitality..
"I'm tired."
Nevertheless, Leon felt tired. His mind grew tired and he felt a sense of direction..
300It's a year.
300Leon was so tired that the routine he had been repeating for over a year stopped..
The 15 years since being reincarnated in this world must have been a fairly prosperous time..
It was a time of physical pain while receiving the teachings of the Holy Grail Knight, but I still had confidence in the future..
Even when I wandered and fought against orcs, vampires, and barbarians, and even when the neighboring country was devastated by the appearance of the Great Evil... Even when I remain alone and continue a war that I don't know how long it will last.
It just ran like a horse pulling a carriage. When I think about it, my life was one where I just ran forward without even feeling tired..
Why is the fatigue that I didn't feel even when I was killing demons come back and bother me again??
"Hehehe……."
Yeah, you're probably afraid of losing.
The future of having to fight alone again is terrible..
After all, he is also human.
'However, it is a burden that must be borne alone..'
Even the knights of glory have fallen, so how can we share this burden? It was when Leon tried to grab the sword to shake off his distracting thoughts..
"Ah, Your Majesty. Are you here??"
Hari opened the training room door, stuck his face in, and then quickly jumped inside..
"Didn't you rest during this time?."
After spending the last few months together, Leon learned Hari's routine. Basically, I spend the evening after work watching dramas..
Although he is a hard worker, he is the type of person who makes sure to take his time off..
Hari answered while scratching his red cheeks..
"that… What can I say these days? I felt like I needed some training.."
"suddenly?"
"Not suddenly.."
Anyway, I came here to train myself. They say that young people these days don't meet Leon's standards, but this is something that can be said to be remarkable..
"Grab your sword. Let me take a look."
"Ah, yep! My sincerity is ruined.!"
"under."
When will that guy stop talking in pseudo-historical dramas? In my opinion, I'm just imitating the king out of courtesy..
"top posture."
"yes!"
Hari drew his unique sword and took the upper posture. The basic basis is kendo. Her posture is less shaky, perhaps because she has been practicing it for quite some time..
"Stop it."
Leon swung his sword, and Hari blocked it..
"Ugh…!"
He barely managed to block it, but Hari's arms tingled from the shock coming from the sword..
'Well, your strength is not average either.!'
Second, third... It's fast and fierce, but not unstoppable. However, the shock delivered accumulated and the arm inadvertently went down..
"Always keep your arms above your belly button. If you go down one span, you will be 0.2 seconds late, and if you go down two spans, you will be twice that late.."
"Oh, I understand.!"
As Leon pointed out, Hari raises his sword above his belly button. In response, Leon held his wooden sword with both hands and raised it to its upper position..
"It is the posture of a hawk. It's all about offense and defense."
Leon strikes diagonally from the top and covers his entire body with the blade. The power in both hands is several times heavier than before..
"Wow…!"
Hari is not weak in strength. A class A hunter is a superhuman among superhumans. Still, blocking Leon's attack was too much of a burden..
"Defense is not just done with arms and swords. Put one foot back, don't push away from the sword's center of gravity.."
When I followed the advice and blocked the sword, the shock was less than before. The feeling of going down the roots of the Danjeon and being firmly supported by the ground. Just a slight change in posture can make such a difference..
However, the joy of blocking Leon's sword was short-lived. The moment the sword and sword met, they were entangled like magnets and Leon pushed Hari with his shoulder..
"Wow…!"
Hari falls backwards. I tried to stand up immediately, but the sword that touched my uvula glowed brightly..
"The sword is not the only weapon. Use your whole body as a weapon."
The teaching continued..
"The posture of swinging the sword is great. How many times did I say it? Stop it quickly. What is the point of revealing gaps in movement?."
"that… Also, if you want to use the ability……."
"Haha, is that sound again? Don't think that using your abilities efficiently is the only way to victory. What good is it if you die?."
"Is that so??"
Hari's eyes widened as if he was surprised by Leon's words..
"What does it mean??"
"Uh, um… It's nothing special."
As Leon stared at Hari, Hari expressed his intention..
"If it’s your Majesty… I thought you were going to tell me to fight even if it meant risking my life... … . That honor? for glory……."
"……."
Leon hit Hari on the top of his head with the back of his sword. evil! And Hari’s death signal rang..
"What a stupid thing. Where is your honor and glory to offer?."
"Well, it's true that I'm worse than those drivers.……."
"I'm not talking about him. They sang glory to the gods. He brought honor to his country. Han Hari, can you do that for this country, Republic of Korea??"
"note… It won't work... I think so?"
Hari is also in the prime of today’s generation. Hellfire Peninsula, Hell Joseon. As each day passed, patriotism was fading away, and the idea of sacrificing one's life for one's country felt like propaganda..
Even though she herself has a particularly strong sense of justice among her peers..
"What is the point of imitating them when you have no one to whom you can offer glory and honor?."
"object of honor……."
Hari was speechless at something unexpected..
Sparring and coaching continued like that for a while. Leon sharply pointed out Hari's sword skills and posture, and every time he corrected them, he felt that he was improving in real time..
But strangely… Leon seemed weaker than usual..
"Let's stop here. Take a break."
"yes……."
Normally, he would have been exultant, saying, 'It's an honor to be under the guidance of the Lionheart King, and be thankful for this good fortune,' but he turned away indifferently..
On Earth, Hari, who had been with Leon for the longest time, was able to tell the subtle differences..
"Your Majesty, you look listless.."
He, who is always confident and cheerful, seems somewhat depressed after the Jeju Island Gate. He knew he was human after all, but the more he thought about it, the more he wanted to help..
"Your Majesty seems to be feeling low these days. Is this perhaps a good thing??"
-Kikluk?
The brain of the pantheon and the first Holy Grail Knight, Lord Yacht Spinner, was the one who consulted with his concerns..
Yapi, who was pouring salt into the soldiers' meals, rolled the camera eye and made a mechanical sound..
-your majesty. Among the non-specific biological responses to stimuli applied to the living body.
"You can't talk at my level.?"
-Increased stress levels. Need to relieve stress.
"It's stress... That's not wrong either.."
So what do you need to relieve stress??
"Lord Yappy knows what your majesty enjoys.?
- your majesty. Wake up at 5 o'clock. 4 hours training. breakfast. Morning training guidance. Lunch. Afternoon training guidance. dinner. Late night prayer. Go to bed afterwards. Overall, don't deviate from the routine..
"……I'm recording it all?
-Paper information search. Definition of the concept of creatures, entertainment. It refers to all activities to make one feel happy during rest. Perfect for relieving stress.
In short, shouldn't we enjoy entertainment?.
"Watching His Majesty play... Hmm, I can't imagine. What about Sir Yappy??"
-……Entertainment to increase dopamine in organic matter is not considered in this period..
Why is it so difficult to say that I don’t know?.
Hari thought for a while and suddenly an idea crossed his mind..
"okay! If that's the case, your Majesty will enjoy it too! It just so happens that the times are similar.!"
-Kikluk?
"There was something useful in the association! I need to contact you first.."
-What is the plan??
Whispering, as Hari explained the plan, Yapi organized the objective information and acknowledged that it was a reasonable conclusion..
-Accidental change of ideas in organic matter. It does not reach the computing power of this machine..
"Yes, I guess so.."
-A nuance that mocks the original. This is not the attitude taken by mere organic matter..
Hari shrugged his shoulders and made a victory gesture..
