Episode 174

87. Welcoming the Envoy – 2

Coming from the capital of the elven kingdom to the Great Forest was by no means an easy journey.

Of course, there were royalist noble estates between the trips, so we could rest, but even so, it was not without the aftereffects.

That is why the delegation was very grateful for Lee Han’s cooking.

It’s a dish that restores your stamina just by eating it.

It can’t be helped because it even tastes good.

“Puhaaaa… … .”

Ryu, who had eaten his fill of the food prepared by Lee Han, gulped down his beer and let out a big sigh.

Drinking wine after work is not bad, but I found that drinking a cold beer like this after a hard day’s work is also good.

“I heard that people drink beer a lot in Dwarven City?”

“That’s right. By the way, you know how to use the common language.”

“The Knights Templar must be able to speak a few languages ​​as they welcome distinguished guests.”

Learning the language of the elves, the language of the dwarves, the common language of the water people, and even the languages ​​used in each region is a basic qualification for a royal knight.

For Ryu, who held a high position in the Royal Knights, it was easy to use the common language.

“Then… … Mr. Lee Han. I would like to start the mission work right away… … .”

“It seems the princess is too tired to do that.”

Seria was dozing off while hugging the explanation.

Were you tired from the long carriage ride?

Ryu looked at her and was startled.

Her face was red.

“Who gave the princess alcohol!!”

“Oh. I gave it to you?”

Hongryeon, who was smiling brightly next to Seria, quietly raised her hand.

Ryu let out a sigh as if the ground was falling apart and glared at his subordinates.

The stories from ‘What would happen if you gave alcohol to the princess?’ to ‘What did you do instead of stopping Hongryeon?’ were almost coming down my throat.

“… … Mr. Lee Han. I’m sorry, but… … .”

“Hahaha. Please get some rest today, Princess. By the way, Hongryeon. What did you give the princess?”

“Makgeolli. And I didn’t force you to drink it. The princess saw me eating it and asked if she could try it just once, so I gave it to her.”

“Yeah. Yeah. Drinking is something you learn from adults.”

Even Shredder, who was sitting next to Seria, chuckled, as if he liked her.

This is the picture of an uncle and aunt who are absolutely unstoppable.

Ryu covered his face.

The two of them laughed even harder as if they found him funny.

“You guys, grow up.”

“No. Who knew I could get this drunk from one drink?”

“Look at him drinking tree. They look like they’re the same age, but no matter how many glasses he drinks, his face doesn’t change color at all.”

“Is the World Tree and the young elf the same?”

“Huh? Are you looking down on elves right now??”

“I didn’t see the explanation that way… … .”

The explanation growled, its fur standing on end.

While the two of them were giggling again after seeing that, Ryu looked at Sailor and Leon.

They both just smiled, as if they were used to this atmosphere.

“By the way, Sailor. How are you doing these days?”

“We’re fine. There are quite a few people who wish to be able to trade with Daesurim in earnest.”

“Since the last food issue, the power of Marquis Caloitz has weakened, so he is leaning more towards fair trade. However… … .”

“but?”

“The Marquis of Calois is still stronger.”

It’s a shame.

But I didn’t think that his power would be so severely weakened by this one incident.

That’s why he just smiled leisurely.

“Then shall we have round 2? Those who need to rest, let them rest!”

“I should do some washing up before we do round two.”

Those who are tired can rest at the accommodation, and those who want to have more fun can have a second round of drinks.

Hearing Shredder’s shout, the elves of the delegation rose and headed towards their quarters.

The same was true for Seria, who was nodding off.

“Lee Han. I think it would be better for him to sleep in my bed. He said he wanted to sleep with me earlier.”

“Okay. Then. Description. Can you sleep with me?”

“Since Seria is holding me anyway, I guess I’ll have to sleep with her too.”

In Seria’s hand was holding the tail of the explanation.

It seems that he missed the explanation quite a bit.

After a while, Ryu carried Seria into the cabin and came out.

“Ryu! Ryu is going to do round 2 too?!”

“Haha… … Yes. Let’s do that.”

Anyway, I don’t think I’ll be able to do the delegation work today.

In that case, it would be better to just do some social activities.

While those attending the second round of drinking were preparing drinks and snacks, Lee Han approached Leon.

“Leon. Are you okay for a moment?”

“Yes. What’s going on?”

“Would you please take a look at this?”

“This is… … .”

What he held out was a sword.

Leon glanced at the blacksmith and the dwarves.

You said you gathered the dwarves from Dwarven City, but did you decide to make weapons in the Great Forest?

‘Not bad.’

Equipment made by dwarves tends to be sold at a high price.

If you ask me to look at your sword to sell equipment in Daesurim, I’ll gladly do it.

“… … This is.”

Leon, who was smiling leisurely and drawing his sword, gradually hardened his expression.

It had to be that way.

Because I could tell at a glance.

What is this?

‘It’s a famous sword.’

Leon could tell because he was a prosecutor.

This is a black famous sword.

It is a sword that would not be at all regrettable to be treated as a family treasure, or even as a country’s treasure.

A perfectly balanced, silvery blade that sparkles in the light. A hilt that fits snugly in the palm of your hand.

Leon pulled out his sword as if possessed, and Ryu, who had brought the cask and sat down, stared blankly at the sword he was holding.

-Slurp.

The beautiful sound coming from the sword as it came out of its scabbard seemed to give me goosebumps.

Leon stared at the sword in his hand.

The sword, which was bathed in light and had a soft glow, seemed to be speaking.

Swing me and cut down the evil.

“What is this…?”

This is more of a will than a sword.

It is a sword that one can only think of as having the will to cut down evil and defeat the devil.

“What the… … what the heck… … .”

“This is a sword I made.”

“… … !!”

Shock appeared on his face.

I knew that Lee Han was very talented.

But you can even make a sword like this?

Leon’s face now looked awestruck.

‘You can farm, you can grow elixirs, and you can even make swords like this… ‘

What a truly amazing person.

Leon smiled with satisfaction.

If he can create something like this, there will be no fear in his future.

“Excellent. That’s all I can say.”

“I would like to give it to Leon as a gift.”

“……yes?”

“Let’s call it a token of friendship. Just like how Leon-sama gave me the Holy Sword as a token of his trust.”

There wasn’t even a hint of regret on Lee Han’s face as he said he would give him such a great sword.

Leon suddenly felt a surge of greed at the sight of her calm face, as if she was doing something natural.

‘I want it.’

Okay. Just nod your head here.

Then this great sword will be his.

Didn’t Lee Han, the owner of the sword, say that he would give it to him?

As a swordsman, Leon couldn’t help but be greedy for such a famous sword.

So he returned the sword to its scabbard and shook his head.

“I can’t accept this, Mr. Lee Han. Mr. Lee Han, you said you were giving this to me as a token of friendship, right? There’s no need for that. Aren’t we already friends?”

I have received so much from Lee Han.

What I gave him was so shabby.

“Every time I use the Holy Sword, I feel grateful to Leon.”

Since receiving the holy sword from Leon, I’ve been using it really well.

So much so that I always take it with me wherever I go.

“I’m sure it’s no ordinary sword to you either. Lord Leon gave it to me simply as a token of his trust.”

“… … Of course, it is true that the Holy Sword was important to me… … Even so, I think it was well used as a token of trust because it was precious to me.”

Lee Han thought for a moment and then handed him his holy sword.

“Leon and I are friends, right? So I don’t think we need any more proof. Even without this, I trust Leon.”

Lee Han held out two holy swords.

Leon sighed in embarrassment at his suggestion to take one of the two.

And he held out his hand.

“I think this sword would be better suited to be used by you, Mr. Lee Han, rather than me.”

What Leon took was the holy sword that Lee Han had been using, the Saint Elven Blade.

Of course, if you were to choose the better sword between the two, the sword made by Lee Han would be better.

But that’s why he took up the Saint Elven Blade.

‘I’m sure Lee Han has more things to write about than me.’

As we begin to interact in earnest, more will become known about Lee Han.

If that happens, there will be those who try to use him or monopolize him.

No, maybe there are those who want to get rid of him.

Of course, if it were Lee Han’s power, there would be no need to worry about his safety, but wouldn’t it be better to have something better?

‘I guess I need to work harder too.’

Leon fiddled with the holy sword that had returned to his hands.

It had been a long time since I had used the Holy Sword, but thanks to Lee Han taking good care of it, it didn’t feel much different from when I had given it to him.

“So that’s how it ended up like that?”

Hongryeon snickered when she saw Leon take the holy sword back.

She expected this to happen.

“Leon. Why don’t you just be a little greedy?”

“Hahaha. Should I have done that?”

Leon whined as he heard Shredder’s shout that was almost teasing.

He giggled and returned to his seat with Leon by his side.

“You are amazing. To give up such a sword.”

Would you have been able to do that?

Ryu still couldn’t take his eyes off the sword in Lee Han’s hand.

Regardless, Lee Han just smiled brightly.

“Come on! Let’s drink some more alcohol!!”

As dawn came, Seria slowly opened her eyes.

She saw an unfamiliar ceiling. She wondered what had happened yesterday, and with a pounding head, she went outside with difficulty.

“Are you awake?”

The pleasant scent of the forest tickled my nose.

While the headache from the hangover was slowly subsiding, Seria quietly hugged the explanation that had come to her.

“Where are the others?”

“I drank a lot last night and am sleeping. Are you okay?”

“Ugh. My head hurts a little… … .”

“Then why did you drink alcohol?”

“Ehehehe… … .”

Seria smiled brightly and walked quietly while holding Seol-i in her arms.

A man was seen moving busily toward the furnace.

“Mr. Lee Han… … ?”

“Princess. You’re awake. Are you okay?”

“Umm… … My head hurts a little.”

“Drink this.”

The tree that was helping Lee Han offered a treat.

What was contained inside was fairy honey water.

“Honey water made with fairy honey is great for hangovers~!”

“Whoa?! Hey, a fairy?!”

“Oh. Didn’t he see me yesterday?”

Luna, who had participated in the second round yesterday and shocked the members of the delegation, sat on her shoulder with a big laugh.

Luna laughed even louder when she saw Seria flinch and look scared, knowing about fairies.

“Stop bothering me.”

“Okay. Okay. Okay. Go to sleep. Drink the honey water first.”

“Yes, yes… … .”

Seria sipped the honey water carefully.

Could it be because of the warm honey water with a subtle fragrance?

The hangover headache is starting to subside.

“It’ll take some time before breakfast is ready, so why don’t you go for a walk?”

“Uh… … Is that okay? I heard that Daesurim is dangerous… … .”

“Explanation. Tree. You two go together.”

“Okay, I got it.”

“Yeah, I got it.”

Tree, who had been wiping her wet hands on her apron, grabbed Seria’s hand.

Seria, with a turban on her head, followed her through the forest.

My heart was pounding a little.

This is something I couldn’t do while I was in the palace.

I used to feel a bit frustrated because I always had to be with employees, but that wasn’t the case here.

“Hey, where are you going?”

“Just a little further.”

It was a thrilling ride through the dark forest.

They arrived at a place where they flinched at the sound of the wind coming from across the forest and were startled by the rustling sounds of animals moving.

“Wow… … .”

It was a beautiful flower garden in full bloom.

After seeing that, Seria felt a little bit like the forest she had thought was scary.
