The Lazy Genius of the Duke’s Family (237)

Legend of the Storm Sword Master (2)

Just as Freud was looking at the knight’s prayer with interest, the knight approached the mercenary king.

“Mercenary King Freud. Is that right?”

“article?”

“My name is Diato, a knight of Grand Duke Benio.”

Diato came to see the Mercenary King with a letter in his hand.

“This is a letter from the Archduke.”

“Oh. We’ll see each other soon anyway. What’s this all about?”

Rustle.

Freud opened the letter. It was written in a neat handwriting. Freud’s eyebrows twitched as he read it.

“there.”

“It’s Diatoda.”

“Yes, Sir Diato.”

Freud held the letter between his index and middle fingers and shook it around. Diato’s eyebrows twitched as he saw it.

“How rude.”

“It is not me who is rude, but the Archduke.”

The Mercenary King is one who has been granted permission by the Emperor of Amoria to use the title of King, although it is an honorary title.

Just a sword.

With that one sword, he gained the justification to call himself the King of Mercenaries. That is why no noble could exert power over Freud.

Rather, you must be careful not to fall out of favor with Freud. It is essential to maintain a smooth relationship with the mercenary king in order to easily obtain the manpower of mercenaries, which are widely needed.

But that doesn’t mean he’s a nobleman.

Especially when the opponent is one of the three most noble families among the nobles.

However, Freud sent a letter to Diato.

Round.

A thin piece of paper slowly flew through the air toward Diato. Diato’s eyes widened. That move alone was enough to gauge Freud’s skill.

‘A skill using aura.’

Diato held the letter. And blood flowed out from Diato’s teeth. The aura contained in the thin piece of paper had shocked Diato’s insides.

“Ugh.”

But Diato did not fall. Diato gritted his teeth with bloodshot eyes and glared at Freud. Beltor opened his eyes wide at that sight.

‘You withstood your brother’s blow?’

It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t interested in Diato. Beltor, an S-class mercenary, is a beginner Aura Expert. In such a remote territory, even a beginner Aura Expert is enough skill to become a knight commander of a rural territory.

However, I was curious why the knight of Benio, the Grand Duke of the Kepler family, did not feel the aura. There are two cases where the aura is not felt.

Either much stronger than Beltor, or there is no aura at all.

So I thought it was the former, but even after receiving the letter containing Freud’s auror, he did not collapse, but only bled between his teeth.

‘He’s the knight of the Grand Duke, not the Duke. So does that mean he really has no Aura?’

To endure like that, you have to be at least a fellow Aura Master. Or at the very least, a top-tier expert.

Otherwise, it would not have been strange for an art to collapse the moment it was exposed to Freud’s aura.

Freud clapped his hands when he saw such a diato.

“What great tenacity and great physique, really.”

“You bastard.”

“It’s a compliment, it’s a compliment.”

Freud chuckled.

“You’re that skilled even without an Aura.”

“older brother.”

“That’s right. Since you don’t have an Aura, you can withstand my Aura. Beltor, you’ll be a good opponent, right?”

That’s what Freud said. The Mercenary King acknowledged that Beltor and Diato, both beginner Auror Experts, were of equal skill.

I’ve never heard of such a strange story.

“How dare you give me an example.”

“I told you. I came to see Grand Duke Benio. But this letter wasn’t written by the Grand Duke, was it?”

The corners of Freud’s mouth went up.

“Don’t even think about fooling me. This handwriting is that of a man who has never held a sword. A man who holds a sword cannot use handwriting like this.”

Diato’s eyebrows twitched slightly. Freud’s prediction was correct. This letter was written by Professor Bollito, not Benio.

Because Benio wasn’t at Pinguis right now.

“Tsk. Was this a waste of time?”

“Do you think that your lord is someone that a mere mercenary can meet whenever he wants?”

“A mercenary?”

Beltor and the mercenaries around him showed their teeth when they saw Diato. The relationship between knights and mercenaries has not been good since long ago.

It was because, although they were living off of the same knife, the way they were treated was very different. A hundred guardsmen showed their force to Diato, but Diato just laughed.

“You dare threaten me, a knight of the Archduke in the city of Pinguis?”

“There’s no way I can’t do it. I’m the King of Mercenaries.”

Freud showed his teeth and laughed.

“No one knows what will happen to those ignorant, uneducated mercenaries who have not learned anything just by saying one word. There are as many as thirty thousand of them.”

Moreover, the top tier Mercenary King is an Aura Master.

Diato glared at Freud.

“Then do you think you’ll be okay?”

“No way. I heard that Duke Kepler, that guy, is going crazy because his son died and is waging war against the Kingdom of Sanguis?”

Freud stuck out his tongue. The three major ducal families were very different, even though their scales were different. And the wealthy Kepler family was also the biggest customer of the mercenary guild.

“I’m not the type of person to break a rice bowl with my own hands. But I can at least give you a warning. Don’t forget. You’re my Master.”

Freud grinned playfully. The teasing fit Freud perfectly, as if it were a suit that suited him perfectly.

“It’s a warning.”

Diato looked at Freud and his eyes lit up coldly. At that moment.

Wow!!!

Knock knock.

widely!

Pusheeeek!!!

The inn’s window shattered and several fist-sized barrels rolled in. Then they began to spew out smoke that blocked the view, and through the gap appeared men in military uniforms and glowing artifacts.

“You are not the only one who can warn, Freud.”

“Huh. What is this?”

Clink!

Assaults armed with multi-barreled bows surrounded the area. And beyond the broken window, fully armed Ambulan and Tony were leading the Omega force, surrounding the inn.

“Even if you are the Auror Master.”

Diato snicked and assembled the spear.

“You will have to bury your subordinates in this land.”

“Ugh.”

At the sight of the grim guard posture of the city of Pinguis, Freud wrinkled his nose as if he had been hit once. The guards including Beltor drew their swords, but as Diato had said, they were outnumbered.

“I will take hostage not myself, but my brothers.”

“This is a warning, Freud.”

“I don’t know who you are, but you’re smart.”

Freud raised both hands slightly as if he understood. If the Master, the Mercenary King, steps forward, none of those here will be able to return alive.

But, as Diato warned, it is also true that only Freud can be safe in this place.

You have to lose your brothers to see the end.

“I understand. It’s a place with assault.”

In addition, there is an Assault here. Judging from the fact that they are wearing Imperial military uniforms, it means that they are staying here as Imperial soldiers.

Marquis Meyer.

This probably means that the clever Sky Lord, who looks like a bear, is very fond of Benio. And if he touches the Imperial Army, it will be a declaration of war against the Empire.

Even if he is the mercenary king, he is finished with just two swords from the royal knights protecting the emperor. That is why Freud was licking his lips.

“It hurts.”

He ate one properly. He looked at Beltor next to him and he was pleased. Even in this situation, it seemed that Freud was glad that he ate one.

“Be quiet.”

“Trust me. The expenses here will all be covered by the Pinguis City Hall, so please eat and drink well.”

Diato relaxed his eyes and separated his spear again. As soon as the situation was over, the assault went away like an ebbing tide. Then, as Diato was about to leave, Freud asked him.

“for a moment.”

“what?”

“Whose idea was this plan?”

Diato didn’t answer. Freud shrugged and chuckled.

“No, you can tell me that much. I’m not ignoring you. But the traps you’ve laid seem to be set up in multiple layers to catch me, and I don’t think that’s something you’d come up with.”

It’s a high-level strategy.

He made one of the Masters docile without shedding blood. By showing him the power of the Pinguis City, he restrained him from making rash actions and even made it so that the Master had no choice but to take damage.

Now, it is completely the case that A is not in the position of B.

Since he had said he would remain quiet, the situation became one where Master Freud had no choice but to wait until Benio arrived.

“Why are you curious about that?”

“You should know this. If you become an enemy, the first person you should cut off is the one who came up with this plan.”

Freud laughed and made a gruesome murder warning. Just as Diato’s momentum was about to change, as if he was trying to start a fight, Freud added:

“That guy wrote this letter too. The way he talked about waiting in a roundabout way really reeked of ink.”

“Ask your lord.”

Diato disappeared without answering until the very end. As soon as the commotion died down, the innkeeper and servant who had been hiding somewhere quickly replaced the broken furniture and swept and mopped the floor.

In the meantime, Freud, who had been sitting in his seat, drank the flat beer in one gulp and then picked up a snack and put it in his mouth, slurping it down.

“Brother, are you okay?”

“Huh? Why?”

Beltor secretly felt relieved when he saw that Freud was feeling okay. If Freud was ever upset, it was Beltor’s job to calm him down.

“It’s fun. It’s a fun place.”

“That’s fortunate.”

“Yeah. That guy earlier, that kid named Diato, was also amazing. A knight with a spear.”

“He was a famous bandit who was active in the nearby mountains.”

Freud’s eyes widened at Beltor’s words.

“bandit?”

“Yes. But I heard that Grand Duke Benio defeated Sanchae and made him a knight. It was being talked about among the commoners as if it were an old tale.”

The grand prince of one of the three most noble families, highly regarded the skills of a mere bandit and took his mercy, making him his knight?

This is something that would only happen in a novel or a made-up story.

But Freud’s point of admiration was different.

“What an amazing eye for people, Archduke.”

“Is that right?”

“Your body is not naturally capable of learning Aura. But your body is tough enough to withstand my Aura. At that level, Aura is actually meaningless.”

Freud nodded.

“That’s why it’s a spear. Yes. Then a spear is right. Because a long weapon can maximize the strengths of the body better than a sword. It must be very strong too. Ugh. I want to fight it once.”

Freud looked at Beltor with a regretful expression.

“Why, are you interested?”

“I don’t have the competitive spirit of my older brother, who rushes at the sight of a strong person.”

Freud, as if he knew this would happen, did not make the recommendation twice.

“But I’m really starting to get more and more curious.”

“Your Highness?”

“Yeah. I wonder what he’s doing that’s keeping him from coming back.”

That’s what Beltor was wondering too.

“Anyway, it’ll be fun if we meet.”

“You have to keep your hands to yourself.”

“I told you I won’t kill you.”

Freud had already accepted a large sum of money as a deposit. Beltor still looked worried, but Freud whistled and calmly ordered another glass of beer.

“I don’t know when he’ll come, but should I go and look for that guy?”

“older brother.”

“I’m curious about the Archduke’s articles. I’m also curious about the assault. Isn’t that the assault that the Imperial Army is so cheap about?”

I didn’t know that there would be so many fun things to do in this Pinguis city, which is located outside the empire. Since the main character, Benio, is away anyway, the mercenary king thought that he should properly explore Pinguis, so he said to Beltor.

“you also?”

“Brother. Aren’t you going to stop by the branch?”

“You’re doing fine without me.”

“It’s my brother!”

Freud waved his hand. What a thing! How could you come all this way to say such horrible things?

“I’ll look around by myself. If you don’t like it, you can look around the branch. After all, you’re the prime minister after all. A mercenary prime minister. That kind of thing should be your job.”

“Hyungniiim!”

Freud was a person who hated work even if it meant dying.
