A Stuffed Cheonma in my Head - Chapter 231
Only Noblemtl
Episode 231. Good Determination
Sir Monde, who had been defeated by me as a knight, stood there blankly for a moment, then quickly increased his pace and walked alongside me.
“Are you from the Blake Kingdom?”
“I’m not from there.”
“then?”
“I am from the Kingdom of Maia. I am a real Maia man.”
“But why Blake… … .”
“It was like going on a little unexpected trip.”
“travel?”
“Yeah. Do you know how surprised I was when Sherwood suddenly disbanded while I was out?”
Monde Kyung looked at me with a surprised face.
“Was it Sherwood?”
“Well then. You could almost say he’s an original member.”
“Didn’t your name say Ashvan?”
“yes?”
“I’ve never heard of it?”
“That could very well be the case. I was Sherwood’s secret weapon. The mercenary guys went to great lengths to keep me hidden. Only a few people knew my true identity.”
Of course it was a lie, but Lord Monde seemed to take it seriously.
“It’s a secret weapon… … .”
Lord Monde folded his arms and licked his lips silently for a moment, then spoke to me as if he had just realized something.
“So that’s why you brought Sherwood back to life? To bring the scattered ones back together.”
“That’s right. How can we just sit back and watch when the walking disasters are released?”
“indeed……!”
Monde nodded, rubbing his chin as if he understood.
Now that you’ve answered my questions, it’s my turn.
“Mond Sir.”
“hmm?”
“I heard that Lord Lyle and the Knights Templar are from the same class.”
Mond nodded.
“He was expelled from the Royal Knights before me.”
“What’s the reason?”
“Because I was involved in scandals with noble ladies. There were more than one or two.”
“Hmm. Indeed.”
“Are you going to call him back in too?”
“That’s right.”
“Um… I personally don’t recommend it.”
“It’s for the public good. That nympho needs to be locked up for the sake of all the women of Maya.”
Monde Kyung opened his eyes slightly wide.
“I didn’t know Sherwood was such a moral place?”
“The captain has changed, so the mercenary group must change as well. It’s like releasing a wolf into a pasture where sheep are running around. I can’t stand to see that happen.”
“oh……!”
“As the leader of the Sherwood Mercenaries, I will take that horny pervert knight down with my own hands. I will gladly get my hands dirty for the sake of all the women of Maia, that’s it.”
Sir Monde looked at me with slightly admiring eyes, then placed one hand on his chest and saluted me as a knight.
“I pay tribute to that noble intention.”
“That’s natural. But to trap him inside the fence, we need information. Haven’t you heard?”
Monde Kyung scratched the side of his head.
“Well, I wonder if he’s flirting with women somewhere right now.”
“I can guess that too. I need specific information. Is there anything you want? Even something small will do.”
“hmm…….”
Monde Kyung crossed his arms for a moment, lost in thought.
“When I was a royal knight, I used to mutter that there were many beauties in the North.”
“I heard there are a lot of open-minded beauties in the South?”
“Oh, really? That’s right. He’s a guy who goes crazy for women no matter where he is.”
“… … .”
I asked just in case, but as expected, there was no significant result.
Lord Monde, who had been lost in thought for a moment, suddenly spoke as if an idea had occurred to him.
“ah!”
“What is it?”
“I don’t have any news about Rai. I heard that one of the Sherwood members in the North is beating up all the demons. Was it the two-faced swordsman?”
“… … There’s no one who doesn’t know this.”
He shook his head.
There’s no one who doesn’t know how he keeps causing trouble.
“Oh, did you know?”
“How could I not know? Tips are pouring in from all over. Of course, I have to go catch that guy first.”
Actually, I was planning to go see him after he calmed down a bit, but things got messed up.
I guess I’ll have to administer the tranquilizer myself.
Of course, the tranquilizer is my iron fist.
Since ancient times, this has been a cure for madmen.
Monde Kyung suggested the possibility.
“That guy, Laila, might still be in the North.”
“At this time?”
Is there a crazy guy out in the North picking up girls at a time when the worst monster wave is predicted?
“… … It’s quite possible.”
“Yeah. He still remains like that.”
“You pervert son.”
“You piece of trash.”
“The shame of the Royal Knights.”
“It’s also Sherwood’s shame.”
“Go out and die.”
We followed Princess Lilia as she skipped across the snow, gossiping happily about the debaucherous knight Lord Rylai.
After seeing the pervert’s scar, I felt my mind and body calm down when I saw the girl jumping around on the white snow like a wild rabbit.
“Did the princess learn swordsmanship? Her movements are light.”
“You neglected magic while learning the sword. If you liked magic as much as the sword, there might have been a second Red Witch.”
“That’s the price?”
“Of course. I’m not exaggerating. I’m saying they were going to take you from the rooftop.”
I followed Princess Lilia, who was walking ahead, while listening to Lord Monde praising my lord.
At the end of it all, a deer lay bleeding, its neck cleanly pierced.
The night spear that had pierced the bastard’s neck had already dispersed into the air.
“Wow! You got a clean shot through the neck from that distance?”
The princess was fearless, and she was observing the deer lying on the snow-covered ground with sparkling eyes.
I examined the fallen deer.
He was a fairly plump guy.
“Good. I guess I’ll be able to prey for the first time in a while.”
Then he tapped the shoulder of Lord Monde, who was just watching blankly.
“What are you doing? Why aren’t you coming in?”
“I?”
“Then should I do it? The person who hunted should also carry it?”
“uh…….”
“Haven’t you ever heard the saying, ‘If you don’t work, you shouldn’t eat’? So you’re just going to eat meat without lifting a finger? If you don’t like it, then leave it alone. I’ll take it. Brother Do’s cooking skills are really great. Don’t say you don’t want to eat it. Come out, you rotten bastard. You’re said to be in the same class as Lord Rai, and you haven’t let me down.”
Princess Lilia stepped forward.
“Don’t worry, Ashvan. I’ll move it. I want to eat venison.”
Mond Sir watched as Lilia grabbed the deer’s antlers and tugged at it, then sighed and approached.
“Come out, princess. You’ll get hurt.”
Monde lifted the plump deer onto his shoulder and returned the way he had come.
Lilia followed behind him.
“Mr. Monde. Is it heavy?”
“Not really. She’s like a princess.”
“Oh, sir. I’m not that heavy, am I?”
“Ouch. Don’t pinch me. I’m holding a deer right now.”
I followed him around and collected my thoughts.
The chances of a womanizing knight in the North being around are, frankly, slim. It could be, it could not be.
There is a high probability that it will not exist.
If so, my goal does not change.
I didn’t forget my priorities.
The pursuit of the debaucherous knight can be postponed until later.
Monster wave and all.
First, let’s beat up that crazy, rampaging multiple personality.
I can still clearly hear the laughter of that bastard teasing me when I came back from being beaten by the nobleman.
I think that was the biggest laugh I’ve ever had.
You little shit.
“Okay. First, I’ll start with the multiple personality disorder. The perverted knight will come next.”
The leader of the group, Nallari Monde, who was walking ahead, glanced back and cheered me on.
“It’s good to have a goal.”
The curious princess tilted her head at the two of us.
“Huh? What?”
Perhaps because it was not something that could be told to an innocent princess, Lord Monde walked ahead and avoided answering.
“There is something like that.”
“Mr. Woo. What is it? Please tell me too.”
“Hey, I told you not to pinch me.”
I followed the friendly princess and her guardian knight, watching their antics.
Cheonma said. His voice was slightly excited.
[Are we finally meeting? The two-faced swordsman.]
“It’s time.”
[I’ve heard it many times from other people. But did you say it was a multiple personality disorder?]
“Basically, the two of them share one body. One is a swordsman, the other is a wizard.”
[… … Is that possible?]
“That’s why he’s crazy. He’s the real crazy one.”
Cheonma laughed quietly.
[He doesn’t seem like a crazy person. Do you think he can win?]
“Of course. Because I’m not usually a crazy person.”
[That’s right.]
Cheonma admitted it.
“Why did I devote myself so much to cultivation? It was all for this day, that’s what I’m saying.”
I smiled, one corner of my mouth tilted up like a mean villain.
“I’m going to kick your butt so hard that you won’t even be able to sit down for a while.”
[That guy’s ass.]
“Ah, the Duke is the one with the eight swords, so it would be nice to hold a famous sword as well.”
[Hmm. There’s a lot to do. I have to defeat those demons too.]
“Now that you’ve had a good rest in Milgard, it’s time to get some exercise.”
Cheonma laughed quietly.
[I’m looking forward to it.]
“Master too? Me too.”
[Hehehe.]
“Hehehe.”
* * *
We took the carriage and headed north.
As the temperature dropped, the wind became colder.
No matter how much I opened my collar, the cold northern wind would sneak in through the gaps in my clothes and stab my skin.
Of course, I was not a heavy sleeper so it wasn’t a problem.
We took turns holding the reins.
Even the ruffian Monde, who had stubbornly refused to serve as the groom, saying that he had to stay by the princess’ side, ended up taking his turn due to the princess’s strict orders.
Looks good.
We ran day and night.
The only time he rested was when he was tired.
Whenever I wasn’t holding the reins, I spent most of my time training.
In fact, even when I was holding the reins, I often got into training.
Because the horses were able to drive autonomously along the road.
Anyway, when I wasn’t a coachman, I would mostly practice on the roof of the carriage, exposed to the cold wind blowing.
It’s a new thing to say, but I was the master of the wind martial art, Pyohaengbi (飄行飛).
It is said that the wind and the close relationship are the same.
I treated the bitter north wind as my friend, and they also played with my collar and hair and acted cute.
I tried not to bunch up my collar and just went along with their antics with an open attitude.
Then I felt like I was getting closer to the wind.
Is it just my mood?
Probably not.
While spending time on the carriage, he often received visits from other guests, perhaps because he felt suffocated by being in the carriage all the time.
Linda would suddenly open the roof door and come up and sit next to me, shivering and having a runny nose.
Schmidt also sat next to me in silence, enjoying the breeze and admiring the scenery.
Sometimes Dauphin would come up and chat beside her, and sometimes the bored princess would stick her head out of the carriage and come up, squirming, to feel the cold wind together.
Every time that happened, I was afraid that she would catch a cold, so I snatched Monde’s coat and wrapped the princess tightly in it along with my own coat.
“Isn’t it cold in Ashvan?”
“The cold is for the weak.”
“wow…….”
But later on, it started to come up so often that it interfered with my training, so I had no choice but to take action.
I practiced while sitting on the door on the roof.
As I blocked the entrance with my buttocks, the others accepted my refusal to join me, but Linda wiggled her buttocks several times before she managed to climb out through the carriage window, but I caught her as she was about to fall in the strong north wind.
“Why do you keep crawling up? Do you want to die?”
Linda laughed like an idiot at the idea of almost falling out of the carriage.
“Hehe. I thought you might get cold, Devil. I wanted to stay with you.”
“No need.”
“Ugh… … .”
He put the blood in the horse carriage and left it to Schmidt to supervise.
The road north was not entirely peaceful.
Of course, because this is the Kingdom of Maia.
There were attacks by bandits along the way, and large demons were also hanging around.
The spirit and the white were separated by the Sherwood men who happened to be bored without even touching the carriage.
Schmidt demonstrated by example what would happen if one approached a carriage without permission.
Without saying a word, he brutally beat up and chased away thieves and demons.
Dauphin swung his butterfly knife around while muttering something as he cut off their heads.
Especially at night, only the flashing blade of the butterfly knife could be seen here and there.
Linda just yawned in annoyance and threw the poisoned needles at them to chase them away.
It was effective, of course.
All the guys who rushed in, whether they were thieves or demons, rolled on the ground.
Even though he was stuck in the carriage, the princess would occasionally kick him out of the carriage, telling him to help instead of just watching. He would grumble and clear out the enemies who approached him at that time.
Even a quick glance would tell that the craftsmanship was sharp.
On the surface, he just seemed like a troublesome bum, but as Dauphin said, he was a man of real ability.
I can’t say for sure, but I think it’s comparable to Blake’s royal knights.
I welcomed the guests who came to visit me and experimented with various techniques I had been practicing.
For some reason, whenever I stepped out, their screams were particularly loud.
The reason was unknown.
We advanced north, eliminating all those who stood in our way.
Along the way, we often witnessed refugee groups heading south, in contrast to those heading north.
It was assumed that they were listening to rumors that the barrier would collapse due to the worst monster wave ever.
In fact, these were powerless peasants, and there was no way to blame them, as their lives and the lives of their families were at stake.
Whenever that happened, the princess would personally come out of the carriage and put silver coins in their hands.
The refugees would nod their heads, not knowing that the person who gave them the money might be a princess of a country.
It seems like she is the daughter of a noble family.
Also, we often stopped by nearby villages to take a break.
The weather was getting colder and colder to spend the night outside, and the princess was with us.
Every time I did that, I was able to naturally observe the atmosphere of the village, and it was generally gloomy and full of anxiety.
An inexplicable sense of anxiety was spreading like a disease.
I felt the air filled with dark clouds.
It was not uncommon to see people hastily packing up and leaving the village.
Every time she saw that sight, the princess’s once bright expression gradually darkened.
I too was able to personally feel the seriousness of the situation.
The Kingdom of Maia is now facing its greatest crisis ever.
We are now on our way to prevent the worst disaster ever to come down from the North.
This was something that could have led to the destruction of the Kingdom of Maya.
A wave of disaster made up of demons was about to crash over the barrier.
Could this be the ordeal the old king spoke of?
Is this the fate that Ketel spoke of?
I don’t know.
However, I just cut down everything that blocks my way.
There are no exceptions, whether it is a wave of demons, an S-class demon, a trial, or fate.
[Good determination. That’s what a disciple of mine should do.]
The carriage cuts through the darkness of night and the cold sunlight of day.
Finally, we arrived at Tudra, a large city in the north with a towering wall.
