060. Lee Moon-young No, Deep (2)

Late at night, Icarone’s two hands are holding Kuo’s two fluffy feet.

“Kuo, stay close to Reina while I’m gone.”

“Meow!”

‘No! Why me!’

Icarone flinched for a moment. It seemed like it would take some time for him to adjust to what Kuo was saying.

“You have to protect Reina because you are strong. I will always come back because this is my home….”

Icarone felt awkward using the word ‘home’. A home where he could return, where he lived with someone. He had never imagined it.

“Meow, meow!”

‘This body is quite strong. I understand! It’s definitely not because that woman often gives me fish!’

Icarone roughly patted the back of Kuo’s head, who turned his head away, and then lay down on the bed.

The strong waves crashed into the bow without stopping. The waves, which were over 2m high, crashed into the boat without stopping, and everyone on board was busy holding onto the railing and vomiting. Icarone, who had been watching this without any expression, turned his head and looked at the sea again.

Berion. A natural fortress that can only be reached by crossing this sea. An island called the Kingdom of Magic. It is a place that produces half of the world’s magicians, and many scholars who believe there must be a unique method for the kingdom come to find out the method themselves, but they end up returning without finding anything.

They didn’t hide anything, they just spent a little more time on magical education than other kingdoms. Many who came to learn magic ended up coming back empty-handed after a few years or even decades, and the conclusion they came to was that ‘birth is the problem.’

Since then, the citizens of the Kingdom of Berion have never lost their first place as preferred spouses for many of the kingdom’s nobles, regardless of whether they are men or women. Perhaps because of this, the pure-blooded people of the kingdom are so proud and arrogant that their noses pierce the sky, and they are infinitely exclusive to those who come from other kingdoms.

As the only kingdom that can produce and export magical weapons, even the commoners have a fairly high standard of living, making it a paradise on earth that has nothing to be desired by other kingdoms, so their character has not changed over the years.

However, stagnant water rots. For those with power, abundance and peace were transformed into boredom and madness. Some wizards who could not stand boredom went deep into caves and experimented, becoming lost in their own world. Rumors of strange monsters that had never been heard of before occasionally spread around there, and people began to avoid the area where the wizards settled in the caves.

The duels that risked the lives of knights soon became a ‘game’ for the nobles, and the knights of the guard became their horses and stakes. As the number of knights who were needlessly exhausted (dead) increased, the king created a knights’ tournament once a year where knights competed for their innocence, but that alone was not enough to appease the nobles’ boredom, and the heat of bloody duels in the dark with huge stakes never cooled down.

Icarone recalled the history and culture of the Berion Kingdom that the guild had told her about, and predicted that she would eventually go there to become the horse of that ‘poor young lady’. And that this request was a kind of test given by the Robera Guild. They would measure her all-weather capabilities through this difficult request. Will it be the style of Jangbi, who overpowers everything with force, or the style of Guan Yu, who possesses both force and insight… .

“hmm…….”

It was when I almost reached land. It was the first time I saw such a high wall built on a dock. It was at least 5m high. Even if you look around, it was a thick wall that seemed incredibly sturdy. The entire kingdom was fortified… … As expected, it was a very closed place. The fact that it was difficult to enter meant that the opposite was also difficult.

From the disembarkation area to the narrow gate that can only accommodate five people, soldiers in red and white uniforms stand in a long line, wielding sharp spears. At first glance, it seems like a grand welcome, but it is part of a strict entry procedure.

So, depending on the purpose, the gate seemed narrow compared to the wall. As I entered the gate along the soldiers’ path, before I completely passed through the thick gate, the entry procedure was carried out in earnest in a slightly dark place where sunlight did not come in.

There was a space about 1.5m wide and deep in the walls on both sides, and a table was placed inside. There, an immigration officer wearing a round red hat without a brim was carefully checking people. It was rumored that the process was so complicated that many people were denied entry even after braving the rough waves, so most of the people were original citizens and there were few outsiders. Icarone’s turn came quickly.

The immigration officer, who was looking up at Icarone, frowned slightly.

“Didn’t you see other people while you were waiting? This, this.”

He lifted his gold-rimmed glasses with his index finger. At that gesture, Icarone also took off the half-mask that had been covering his eyes.

A matte black half mask. A cloth mask made to cover half of the face on the side where the scar was.

A few days before leaving Char, Deep came to see me in person and handed me this half mask, saying:

“Your scars have faded a lot? Well, there’s nothing you can’t do in this world. But I still wear this. Scars are an excuse, a means to hide your name. If you have no choice, it’s okay, but if possible, it’s better not to show your name. Information is power.”

Ikarone, who agreed with his words, put on a half-mask right then and there. Ikarone, who was already bothered by the fact that his name, which he could not change, was clearly written in red on Kaoeda, often wore a hood.

“Icarone… Kao?”

The immigration officer said after seeing Icarone’s red name. The procedure is more difficult for the Chaos because the main reason is to prevent the assassination of the wizards. Icarone slowly nodded and opened her mouth. She had prepared an answer for this moment.

“He’s a mercenary of Char. He mostly works on the battlefield. He’ll probably never be able to solve it in his lifetime.”

At the last words, the immigration officer felt a chill down his spine. How much blood was spilled… …. No matter how much Kaoru was involved, it was an era where war was not safe, so there were no major restrictions. As long as there was no wanted notice, he could operate in most countries.

However, you can be secretly attacked in a place that no one knows about. Since killing him doesn’t make you a Chao, those who are blinded by treasure or experience points treat Chao as a high-level monster.

The immigration officer unconsciously stroked his forearm with both hands, checked the mercenary badges and the list of entrants given out by the mercenary group, and pointed inside.

“Go over there and wait. You must not leave until Mr. Kirwen comes and takes over.”

“i get it.”

Icarone put his half-mask back on and walked to the waiting area. Kirwen. The one who had decided to come pick him up. No matter how much his identity was proven, he could not enter the country without a guarantee from someone with a confirmed identity. It was a very different moment from Char, who no one had stopped him even if he had just gone there.

After waiting for about five minutes, a young man with a pale white face and short, light green hair came running in, out of breath.

“Hehe, Sha, are you from Sharr?”

I couldn’t even see his name, but he recognized me at a glance, so I guess he must have heard about the first impression. Icarone nodded as he confirmed his name.

“right.”

“Huh… I’m sorry I’m late. I’m Kirwen, the butler working at Duke Leond’s mansion. Excuse me, but… could you check that?”

A duke? Was it a duke family? I only knew him as a falling nobleman… … . There are usually no more than three dukes in a kingdom, so judging by the expression “fallen”, he must have been in a big trouble. What kind of incident would have to happen in this peaceful place to cause the duke family to fall… … .

Icarone thought to one side and showed off his mercenary card. Then Kiruwen continued speaking with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

“Oh, thank you, but there’s one more thing… I would appreciate it if you could show me the thing from the guild I requested.”

He speaks his mind quite humbly, but he doesn’t seem mean. He seems to be a person who is not yet in his twenties or just turned twenty, but he seems to know the right balance between ambiguous things.

Icarone took out a guild badge shining gold from the subspace and showed it to me.

Only then did Kirwen bow her head briefly and deeply and lead the way to the carriage. It was quite a walk to the carriage. I understood why he was out of breath. Since horses were not allowed in the entry area, they had no choice but to park the carriage about 200 meters away.

It was a neat and sturdy-looking two-horse carriage, but it didn’t seem to fit the name of a duke’s carriage. The coachman waited with his nose in his mouth, and then quietly rode off when Icarone and Kirwen got on.

“I…….”

The first words came out ten minutes after the carriage had set off. Icarone, who had been staring at the window, turned his head slightly to look at him.

Kiren thought that he was just a commoner and a butler, and that the person in front of him was a mercenary whom Yeong-ae had hired with a huge amount of money that would shake up the family, so he was not in a position to talk to him. However, he was strangely quiet. He was called a duke, but there was only one person to greet him, let alone a carriage. If it were him, he would be curious about everything.

Kirwen finally couldn’t hold it in any longer and opened her mouth.

“Do you have any questions? Do you know everything?”

“I don’t know.”

I heard the general story through the guild, but I didn’t even know he was a duke, so it’s true that I didn’t know. Kirwen paused for a moment to hear Icarone’s answer before continuing.

“I see… Our Miss Rachel, you’ve been through a lot lately. Please take good care of us.”

Icarone looked at him for a moment and then looked away again.

From the position of a butler, such remarks could be considered very dangerous and presumptuous. However, his eyes were filled with pure sincerity, so he said nothing. Once Kirwen began to speak, he continued to speak regardless of whether Icarone answered or not.

It was so painful to the ears, but there was nothing to ignore. It was impossible to confirm whether the information was true, but it was a summary of the information that Icarone needed right now.
