My Alter Ego Is Becoming a Giant - My Alter Ego Is Becoming a Giant chapter 49

advance preparation (3)

“Buy dried fruit. It’s sweet, so it’s delicious, and it’s perfect for travel!”

“The carriage to the capital is leaving soon! There are only a few seats left, so hurry up!”

“Aww, this is too expensive, please reduce it a little.”

Heinz was walking in the middle of the city.

The barrier installed in the forest of monsters has passed control to Hans, and now he has come out to see other things.

Even if all the materials obtained from the Buncheonhoe and Harley were used, there was no problem in the supply and demand of materials afterwards.

Although Hans couldn’t go out recklessly, he had countless undead to help him.

‘It’s just that the fragments of the Immortal King are not directly exposed. No matter how great a saint’s ability is, it’s unreasonable to discern each undead while monitoring the entire continent.’

The fragments were so clear that they could not be easily hidden, but for the undead under his command, a simple black magic hiding place was enough.

Heinz, who was moving towards his destination, had to stop by here because there were people who suddenly came to mind.

Located in the western part of the continent, the Kingdom of Thalia, the city of Rappella.

It was a city where I broke up with the brothers and sisters I met in Ajantu.

‘It’s been about 7 months since we broke up. Because the flow of time is different, it has already happened.’

Because 3 days on Earth were a month here.

Of course, his alter ego, Heinrich, continued to stay and train in Auterica, so he felt the passing of time.

The problem is that I don’t feel that much because I’m focused on training that is repeated every day within the denomination.

‘Certainly, vampires can be seen here too. It’s not as lively as Ajantu, but it feels a little sleazy.’

Through the transcendental synesthesia and 「Sniff」, I felt vampires all over the city.

But Heinz did not care about them and walked proudly.

Because there was no one who could see through his own “concealment” anymore.

Unless it’s the Holy Blood.

“Hey hahahaha~”

“Rafi! It’s dangerous to run like that!”

So while walking around looking around.

As the brother and sister’s grocery store was approaching, a little girl suddenly popped out from the corner of the street.

“…?”

Heinz, who was noticing the approach, naturally avoided himself, but the startled child tried to stop and twisted his feet.

“Uh-?”

“Rafi!”

A situation in which you may fall due to running inertia and be seriously injured.

But before the child even touches the floor.

tock—

Heinz, who took it naturally, gently put it down on the floor.

“···Huh?”

It was such a natural movement that even the child who was the party made their eyes twitch.

as if nothing had happened.

“Rafi! I told you to be careful because it’s dangerous!”

A boy rushing from behind scolded the girl and looked worriedly for any injuries.

And he sighed in relief as he confirmed that there was nothing wrong.

“ah! thank you! Thanks to that, Rafi was not hurt. Come on, Rafi. Should I say hello too?”

“···Cool.”

At the boy’s urging, the boy, who appeared to be about four years old, glanced at him secretly and nodded his head.

Then he hid behind the boy and pricked his eyes out.

“I’m sorry. My child is a little shy. Thank you again.”

A boy bowing his head to say thanks again.

I’m glad you seem to have had a good time.

“It’s okay, Aaron. It seems that nothing has happened during this time.”

“…Uh, yes? Do you know me…?”

“·················ogue.”

As I was about to feel sad that I had already forgotten myself, I suddenly realized that my face had changed from the first time.

The skeleton changed and grew into Jinhyeol due to 「Mixed-Blood Evolution」, and decidedly touched the face in order to eliminate the connection with the main body.

“Um… it’s Heinz. In the meantime, my face has changed a bit because of various things.”

Put your face back before you come.

It was too late when I arrived, so I had no choice but to say that.

“…are you really uncle?”

“okay.”

“·················ogue.”

It would be hard to believe too.

I was thinking for a while on what to do now…

Warak—

“mister-!”

Aaron wept and hugged him.

‘You believe me sooner than I thought.’

Heinz lightly patted Aaron on the back.

After such a short break, Aaron took the hand of Rafi, the only daughter of his uncle’s grocery store, and took the lead and led the way.

“If you find out that you are here, you will be surprised too! I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, but I think it’ll be fun to think about meeting him and not even recognizing his face!”

“Heh heh heh~♪”

Aaron, who is chatting with excitement, and Rafi, holding his hand and waving back and forth.

Before we broke up, I was in charge of child rearing, and it seems like we’ve become quite close during that time.

So we arrived at the grocery store.

Diana was already looking over here in a position to organize the items on the shelf.

“sister! Who am I…”

“mister-!”

Behind the scenes— Whoa!

Before Aaron could finish speaking, Diana rushed into Heinz’s arms.

Siblings look alike as they bury their faces in their arms with crying faces.

“…No, how did you know right away?”

Except that Diana recognized it at once.

Meanwhile, as soon as he felt someone coming out of the store, Heinz quickly put on the hood.

“Diana! What’s going on… huh?”

“hello? Mr. Bolt. It’s been a long time. This is Heinz.”

He naturally greeted Bolt who came out in surprise and calmed Diana.

Then, taking the children from place to place, I asked her what she was curious about.

“Um… I don’t smell blood like I used to. Still, I can smell you… Uh, I don’t know how to explain this. I just knew.”

It was also shocking to me that Diana was able to recognize Heinz immediately.

Because it meant that I saw through the “concealment” of this place.

‘The fact that it doesn’t smell of blood means that vampires are well hidden. I was definitely focused on hiding it.’

Still, the fact that he was able to see through Heinz’s “concealment” to some extent meant that it was a greater ability than expected.

It means that if you raise them well, they will become great talents.

“We are doing well. In the morning, I go to the school with Aaron to learn how to write and calculate, and in the afternoon I help with the shop. They say no, but I also want to help with anything.”

Still, once every two or three days, he seemed to spend his free time reading books at the training center.

Fortunately, the brothers and sisters’ uncle seemed to be keeping their promise.

“I stopped by because I remembered it on the way, and I’m glad that you seem to be doing well.”

“hehehe, it’s all thanks to you. How have you been all this time?”

Diana didn’t say much about her face change.

Knowing that Heinz is a vampire, he probably doesn’t care about that much change.

“Hmm… yes. It wasn’t bad.”

Because there have been some achievements.

Also, the goal is clear.

After that, he bought delicious food for the three children, including Rafi, for a day, shared a story, and handed a subsidy to the siblings’ uncle, Bolt.

So the farewell came again.

“Be careful, uncle—!”

“come again!”

“Papa~♪”

Still, perhaps because it was the second time, the children did not cry this time and waved their hands vigorously.

‘Then let’s go see the situation for a moment.’

Leaving the city, Heinz moved toward his original destination.

Heinz was very busy raising heterosis on Earth, but he was able to take advantage of the time difference with the other world to find some time.

At the level of gathering information from time to time, it wouldn’t take up that much time either.

why he does this.

Heinrich was able to make friends with many people while training in the Great War to become a paladin.

Among them, there were many who participated in the subjugation of the Immortal King, and through them, I was able to hear more about the events of the expedition.

A clash with a group of warlocks, a conflict between a vampire and a high-ranking person who seems to be instigated by them.

Adding that information and the experience of meeting a female Jinhyeol near the capital on the day Heinz first arrived in Talaria…

‘The breath of the Brokoslak clan reaches the depths of the Talia Kingdom.’

A force that has already deeply intervened in politics to the point of exerting influence from behind a country.

A group of vampires that was the beginning of the power of Heinz II. Brokoslak Clan.

‘It’s a very useful hand. So much more than this.’

So that’s why I came here again.

I’m thinking of gathering some information first before devouring them properly.

The stronghold of the Brokoslak clan is likely to be located in Talaria, the capital of the Kingdom of Talia.

***

“Five? Do you get along well?”

“hahaha, is that so? But it’s amazing. It’s an armor that fits my body perfectly.”

“It is no exaggeration to say that the skills of the craftsmen in our Daeshinjeon are the best on the continent. It’s just about modifying the armor you have to fit your body type.”

Heinrich was wearing the paladin armor, which was supplied immediately after taking office.

A smooth armor that shines like a mixture of white and silver.

On the inside, prayers related to defense and resistance were engraved on the inside.

“But what about the weapon? Usually, by the time you become a paladin, you will know what weapon is right for you, but you were appointed so quickly, you don’t know very well, do you?”

“Yes, I use a sword and shield as the basics, and I am constantly learning other weapons…”

Heinrich’s main skill, “Crusader’s Combat Skills”, was a practical martial art in preparation for a chaotic battlefield.

From bare-handed techniques to general weapon techniques that allow you to pick up any weapon and use it.

If you find a weapon that suits you, you can learn the related advanced weapon skills from then on, but Heinrich has grown so fast that he has not yet decided which weapon to use as his main weapon.

As there were many retired Paladins in the Great Hall of Roselia, there was an environment where they could learn all kinds of weapon techniques from them as martial arts instructors.

This means you can get education whenever you want.

“Or you can join the Holy Knights, who mainly use the weapon you want, and learn by training with your seniors. If you’re lucky, you’ll also get guidance from the manager. So, have you decided where to go? How about the Silver Wings Paladin where I am?”

The Silver Wings Paladins who participated in the subjugation of the Immortal King of the Kingdom of Talia.

This senior was the youngest paladin who had returned from the kingdom of Thalia.

In the meantime, he gave me advice and gave me a lot of attention, but I was reluctant to be officially affiliated with the Holy Knights and have my freedom restricted.

“Rather than joining the Order of the Holy Knights, I would like to travel the continent to help those in need and to give them the teachings of the Lord.”

“Hmm, you want to be a free paladin?”

He nodded his head with an ambiguous expression on his face.

“Well, it’s good to spread the word of the Lord. It’s hard and dangerous, so it’s not really recommended, though. It is easy to be targeted by heretics.”

“It would be. Still, I have no intention of giving up.”

“To that extent, even a free paladin can become a certain standard. It’s hard at your level right now.”

Heinrich, who had just been appointed as a paladin, was still a goal that would take some time.

At his rate of growth, he would be able to reach it quickly.

“Turn round and round again with a weapon. Once you have decided on your main weapon, you will learn advanced weapon techniques. For the time being, I will be temporarily affiliated with various Holy Knights for training purposes, so think carefully.”

As he said, Heinrich had to learn to work in various places for a while.

As there were many Holy Knights in the Great Hall of Roselia, their main duties were varied.

There was a Paladin Order with various missions, such as subjugating warlocks or demon followers, hunting dangerous monsters, and protecting certain areas or factors.

Of course, the place where the newcomer Heinrich was first put in was the one with the most basic work.

“Our job is the most important thing! Of course, there are plenty of strong people staying here, but that is not a reason to neglect the vigilance. It’s our job to be thorough to prevent any contingency from happening!”

The first training site was the Sky Shield Holy Knights in charge of the outer defense of the Great Hall of Roselia.

The senior paladin who was in charge of his guidance constantly emphasized the importance of their work.

“This is the heart of the church, the Great Hall of Roselia! Naturally, heretics also use all sorts of means to tarnish the name of the denomination. If you allow even the slightest gap, they will attack you like crazy. You must not relax even for a moment!”

But fortunately, nothing happened during Heinrich’s stay.

Next, he joined the Sun Wolves Holy Knights to guard the area around the Holy Land, but even then, it was the same.

In fact, since it is the heart of one of the largest powers on the continent, the Shinshin Church, it was normal for nothing to happen.

It had been a few months since I had learned the job and devoted myself to training.

During that time, I was able to get used to the “Blessing: Leap” that I got at the inauguration ceremony.

A wonderful blessing to be able to arbitrarily jump over space within a set total limit distance per day.

You could move the limit distance at a time, or split it up as needed.

Since continuous use has a cooldown of several minutes, there is a limit to using it multiple times during battle, but there must be no such skill to use as a trump card.

The distance he could move in a day right now was small, but this too was gradually increasing through training.

In the future, he might even be able to jump over continents.

Another income was that he had changed his mind about the main weapon.

‘I also have 「Mugol」 and have growth acceleration and correction effects. Do I really need to limit the weapon?’

Of course, if you focus on one thing with all your energy, it will have a bigger effect.

However, it was true that when Heinrich was asked to choose only one weapon he would tilt his head.

No joke, that’s what it really felt like.

I didn’t know if it was the influence of “Mugol” or if it was his aptitude from the beginning.

‘In that case, just learn everything. First of all, we should focus on the sword and shield that are used the most. If you learn this way, it will all be useful later.’

Since he has “super recovery”, it was a problem that could be easily solved by reducing sleep and leisure time.

In the meantime, I learned swordsmanship from the Sky Shield Paladin and spears from the Sun Wolf Paladin.

“Hey, I hope you’ll learn it so quickly. I’ve heard a lot of rumors about it, but it’s really unheard of.”

“Hmm… If this is enough, I don’t think I will go anywhere. Now that you’ve done the basics, don’t be overconfident.”

Whenever I had free time, I visited martial arts instructors, and I was able to learn all kinds of martial arts such as blunt skills and swordsmanship at the places I stayed after.

As a result···.

“The entity has attained enlightenment through repeated training. Acquire the skill “Comprehensive Weapon Skills”.

It’s been several months since I even reduced my sleep and devoted myself to training.

‘Now I think I know how to handle a weapon.’

Apart from “Crusader’s Combat Art”, the understanding of the weapon itself has increased rapidly.

Now, no matter what weapon you hold, you will be able to use it more skillfully and efficiently.

‘It is a general-purpose skill with high potential for development. As I grow stronger, we will grow together. It will be helpful for other avatars later.’

Right now, the only avatar to use a weapon was Heinrich, but there is no guarantee that this will happen forever.

When the time comes, you will be able to prove that the knowledge learned in this best educational environment was not a casual opportunity.
