Episode 90

Chapter 18 The Beginning of Change (6)

At first he was cautious, but now he strangely seemed to enjoy the situation.

‘Not once or twice.’

Rashar is waiting for me, thinking I’ll notice something.

But I couldn’t catch it. What do you mean you don’t know?

My pride was slightly hurt, so I gnashed my teeth and ran again.

And instead of retreating, Rashar also rushed at me just like me.

Of course, I thought she would step back, so I couldn’t help but flinch momentarily.

Rashar, who had squeezed into a closer place in the gap, thrust out his sword.

The blade that had been coming straight for my face fell down.

Rashar turned the sword 180 degrees and made the handle protrude forward.

“Ouch!”

Puck, I only realized it when I fell out after being hit by the handle of the sword with a loud sound.

“Are you okay?”

“distance… … .”

“hmm?”

I alternately looked at the window and Rashar, then stood up.

Rashar stood up again holding the spear.

But this time he didn’t move and waited.

Rashar’s lips curled slightly.

Immediately after, when she closed the distance and approached me, unlike before, I backed away.

Rashar, who touched the spear blade with the blade, smiled broadly and said.

“You’ve finally taken the first step.”

I can see why until now, I only used a spear for the first clash, and switched to a dagger or long sword for the next.

‘The spear has a long lynch.’

But what if you close the distance with the other person? The weapon’s advantage is lost.

In order to maximize the power of the spear, the opponent should not be allowed to approach it.

However, I always rushed first or rushed into close combat, so I had to use the more comfortable dagger often.

Until now, I only knew that the lynch of the spear was long.

Without being able to use it, it was rotting with knowledge that was worse than knowing.

Since it was an unfamiliar object, I couldn’t handle it as naturally as breathing.

“The distance of my sword is this much.”

While realizing the mistake I had made, Rashar, who had returned to his stance, held out his sword and said,

In response, I also took a couple of steps back, fixing my grip on the spear.

The distance between the blade of my spear and the blade of Rashar’s sword was much farther than I thought.

“Do you know the distance your spear has?”

“… … approximately.”

Don’t forget that distance.

Rashar, who added a word, spurred the ground and closed the distance.

It felt like a training-like training had finally begun.

The most important aspect of training is repetition.

Repeat, repeat, repeat to get your body to react, even on an unconscious level.

The same applies to the operation method for forming the magical power core.

In order not to miss that sense, repetition was the only answer.

I gave up even hunting and spent all my time forming magic cores.

And the same message popped up every time I stacked up one layer of magic alone.

「Magic management attempts to evolve into magical control!」

‘Magic control.’

It is a general technology that is sold at a store for as much as 500,000 mana. Also in the stealth tab.

‘If I succeed in evolving, will I be able to learn magic control for free?’

Or is there an additional cost?

I couldn’t be sure as I hadn’t had any success yet.

But what is clear is that the game has a skill tree.

A blueprint that allows you to acquire a higher level skill by reaching the proficiency level of a specific skill.

After I found out it was there, I tried wiping the system while I was left alone in the room.

– Hey system. Give me some skill tree information.

But what came back was the familiar silence.

– Just give it to me, I’ll do a hidden mission, so hurry up.

So I tried negotiating, but to no avail.

“Tsk.”

After the secret conversation with the seven gods, the system remains silent.

There was no direct intervention in my play like before.

Even when maps and radar appeared, capitalism characteristics were not activated.

It just turned on the corresponding function as if it had been programmed in advance.

‘The characteristics of capitalism are like a system intervention channel.’

Is it a detour to avoid the restriction of not interfering in the work of the dimensional world?

If it is not activated, it means that there is no direct intervention of the system.

I tried several times, but the system is silent.

‘They didn’t go to someone else, did they?’

I gritted my teeth nervously, but I have no way to call the system.

And it is impossible to obtain skill tree information without the cooperation of the system.

‘Isn’t this information that can be touched at this point… … .’

Even if only the skill tree was revealed, the player’s growth would accelerate.

‘It will also reduce the number of things that become a job or a mangkae.’

It was unfortunate.

However, it is foolish to ask for an answer from someone who never has an answer while clinging to regret.

‘For now, let’s wait while watching the gap.’

Just because there is no breakthrough now, there is no guarantee that it will be the same next time.

Whatever it is, there is such a thing as the right timing.

You have to select and focus accordingly to maximize efficiency.

Ignoring the timing and proceeding blindly will only waste time.

‘It’s over now.’

I added things related to skill trees to my to-do list and focused on building cores again.

The result of repeating training after training, building up mana all day long.

“Oh, I will die.”

I didn’t even have the strength to lift a finger.

Not only were her limbs shaking, but she was so tired that even sitting with her back straight was difficult.

I sighed and lay down on my bed, exhaling a drooping breath and looking up at the sky.

It used to be that dealing with mana used to consume a lot of mental energy, but these days it’s really bad.

How hard would it have been to lose weight?

The pants I brought from Earth kept getting bigger, so I had to tighten my belt.

‘I can’t cut down on training, so I’ll have to increase what I eat.’

Thinking that I should increase my intake from tonight, I reached out with difficulty.

As I lay down, the sweat kept getting in my eyes, so I thought of wiping them off.

Water, high-protein snacks, and even towels.

It was always placed near where I trained, so I just had to reach out.

“hmm… … ?”

As usual, as soon as I picked up the dry towel, something fell.

A slightly sour smell, a color that naturally makes you frown, and even a flimsy appearance.

What fell from the inside of the folded towel was, no matter how you look at it, food waste.

Because of the smell of sweat here and there, I couldn’t catch this sour smell.

‘Look at these bastards?’

I don’t know who it is.

As soon as I sensed the hostility towards me from somewhere, my fighting power began to rise.

* * *

It has been 5 years since he has been living as a servant from a commoner.

Walter lowered himself to hide in the dense bush near the back garden connected to the restaurant.

Jeremy, who was studying under the same knight, was also with him.

Hide yourself in the bush and wait for a while.

From nob le mt l dot com

Jeremy, who was glancing here and there, suddenly whispered to Walter as if he couldn’t swallow his anxiety.

“I didn’t see you all day yesterday, didn’t you tell the butler? What if we get caught like this?”

“shut up.”

What will happen is that the lord will be kicked out for harming his guests.

If this unfortunate incident became known, knights from other families would not accept them.

In that case, the title of knight must be abandoned. The efforts of the past five years will be in vain.

But I can’t help but do it even though I know the worst outcome.

-Why, don’t you want to? Then stop my seed.

Walter gritted it.

‘I should have found another article then.’

Then it wouldn’t have happened like this.

Allens with Walter and Jeremy was trash, literally.

She revealed money and women, and her personality was petty and naive.

His skills were the most unattractive in the Knights, and he was even distorted by an inferiority complex that grew because of that.

At first, I wondered how such a man could have entered the venerable Knights of the Bennet family.

I heard rumors that he was ordained a knight through his connections with the knight commander in his hometown.

‘He’s the son of a soldier who saved the captain from a battlefield in the past.’

Most of the reviews said that if it wasn’t for that, it wouldn’t even have been an article.

The rumors that he bought his knighthood at the price of his father’s life was a bonus.

Thanks to that, his squire, Walter and Jeremy, were also able to look funny.

Of course, I didn’t ask such a person to learn because I liked Walter.

It’s just that when he became a seed, Allen was the only option.

Most of the knights received relatives or children from other families as their servants, so there was no place for them anymore.

Even if there was a seat, they would not accept him as a commoner.

At that time, the only knight who offered to accept Walter was Allens.

More precisely, none of the sons of well-known families applied to be his squire, so he had no choice but to choose among the commoners.

Nevertheless, it was Allens who shamelessly demanded money in return for accepting him as a seed.

Although he was an unreliable knight, he was still a nobleman who was appointed.

The reason why I endured a troubled life for 5 years was to be in the same position as him.

The next year, Walter will be 16 years old and will be knighted.

Can’t you be kicked out with the fruits of your life right in front of you?

If you don’t follow Allen’s instructions, you must be kicked out.

But in the opposite case, there is minimal hope that they may go unnoticed.

How miserable was his situation that he had no choice but to succumb to even the slightest threats.

Walter gritted his teeth and swallowed the bitter self-deprecation.

However, they also understood Allen’s feelings for making them do this.

In fact, Walter himself didn’t like that stranger either.

‘He was more sloppy than me.’

The way to hold the spear and the level of proficiency were unreasonable.

I even collapsed because I thought that the hope that I had waited and waited for was only those people.

Still, to receive direct instruction from Rashar and even use a personal training ground.

Even within the Knights, there were quite a few whispering voices.

In a situation divided between those who openly expressed it and those who believed in Lachar and tried to suppress their dissatisfaction, Allen was clearly the former.

‘You did this to Sir Bennet’s grandson… … .’

Walter held back a sigh as he looked at the leather pouch in his hand.

The day before yesterday I stopped by the kitchen, but today I was on my way to the stable.

I don’t want to do something like this in my heart.

‘Until I get appointed, only until then… … .’

Now is the time to hold on to the attendant, who struggles with a sense of shame, but bites his teeth and moves briskly.

Walter blocked the path ahead of the attendant who came out through the back door of the kitchen.

“Hee!”

Walter and Jeremy suddenly jumped out of the bushes, and the startled attendants reacted excessively to the point of starting a match.

Walter frowned and said questioningly.

“It’s not the first time, so why are you so surprised?”

From nob le mt l dot com

Jeremy, whose expression was hardened, pressed the servant’s shoulder tightly to block his movement.

“If we keep doing this, we’ll be in trouble too, right? You don’t want me to tell you everything, do you?”

Walter had seen him steal supplies coming into the mansion a few months ago.

I wanted to do that no matter how destitute my life was, so I kept my mouth shut and even accepted a promise that I would never do such a thing anymore.

‘Of course I reported it to the butler.’

That attendant knows that Walter hasn’t told anyone about it.

Thanks to that, I had something to blackmail, and I was getting help in harassing strangers.

The last time, it was just childish bullying, such as putting food in a towel or adding salt or vinegar to drinking water.

Today I went a little further out there.

“Today, put this in the food that strangers eat.”

Walter said, holding out a leather bag containing horse excrement from the stable.

Recently, more and more strangers head to the kitchen late at night.

It would be enough to build up an unpleasant experience if you sneaked in there to get a full meal there.

It was all a plan from Allen’s head.

‘A coward.’

It was really pitiful for Allen, who couldn’t say anything in front of her, but bullied her behind her back.

“What are you doing? Can’t you get it sooner?”

Seeing the attendant biting his lip, Jeremy said urgently,

However, instead of accepting the bag, the attendant kept looking around.

The moment I frowned, I felt a presence behind me.

But before Walter turned his head, something invisible pressed his and Jeremy’s heads.

“Got it, you guys.”

Soon, a strange voice was heard.
