The Second Son of the Count Is Too Good - The Second Son of the Count Is Too Good chapter 129

– Wolf blood flows in the Lugos family.

Right before Halken’s coming-of-age ceremony, his father stood in front of him and said, A sound that not even a small child would believe.

But my father was more serious than ever.

-Have you ever thought that your strength is excessively strong? What about that overflowing stamina? What smells strangely good?

At that, Halken shut his mouth. I don’t know anything else, but even Halken found the last one strange. His sense of smell was good to the point of hypersensitivity.

There were times when I fainted from the pain when I smelled a smell that was too strong. It wasn’t until I got along with the people around me that I realized that it wasn’t normal.

-All of that is the power that came from the lineage. They say that our ancestors were wolves who reigned as gods in ancient times.

-Are you serious?

– Well, I’m not sure either. Still, there is credibility when you see this power and ability.

Although their blood has thinned considerably, they still have power that is incomparable to that of an ordinary human. That was the Lugos family.

About 200 years ago, he fell due to the hatred of the powerful, but thanks to this power, he said that he had no worries about making a living.

-Don’t tell me in advance. There is probably no ordinary person who can stand against you. If you don’t do stupid things, you’ll win 100,000 won.

– It’s nice to hear that.

-But you have to keep in mind. We are not the only ones carrying on an ancient lineage in the world. There is a family with much darker blood than ours.

Having said that, Halken’s father touched his leg and said, He said it was a leg that had been severely broken once before.

His legs were perfectly attached to withstand even fierce battles, but after that day, he often complained that his legs would ache when it rained.

– For example, in the case of the Baston family in the south, they inherit the blood of giants. When I was young, I fought with the family head once.

– Did you win?

-lost. He really beat me like a dog. I’m glad I didn’t die. Before leaving, I broke one of my legs and left.

-yes? No, don’t they even know the manners of the battlefield? How could such a number… … !

-We didn’t meet on the battlefield. I touched a certain country aristocratic woman, and it turned out that she was his wife.

-… … .

That’s right, I guess it’s cheap. Halken swallowed the sound that rose to his throat. The father laughed bitterly as if he had read Halken’s thoughts.

-Do you know why I am telling you this story?

– Doesn’t that mean you should be familiar with your family roots?

– If that’s the case, I wouldn’t even have seen my private parts.

Halken’s father said with an extremely serious face.

-When you swing a sword outside, there comes a time when you think of something. Aren’t I very strong? If this is enough, I think anyone can win in a one-on-one. But that is an illusion.

There are beings in the world who are born with more ancient blood than the Lugos family. Even if you go to ancient times right now, those who are not so good compared to the heroes of the day.

In front of them, Halken is just a little stronger junkie.

– So be careful. If the wind gets into your lungs and you don’t know when to retreat, you will surely die young. This Abby was just lucky.

– But how do I tell them apart?

– You will be able to tell them apart. Because that’s what a wolf’s instinct is.

You can catch your eye. The problem is that even if you notice it, you won’t back down with a sense of selfishness or arrogance. Halken’s father only worried about that one thing.

– Mind you! Don’t forget to run away as soon as your instincts warn you!

* * *

I swear, Halken was determined to keep his father’s oath. The problem was that I had never met someone like that until I was over thirty.

-You said so, but there are only opponents weaker than me.

In no time, the cautiousness disappeared, and the confidence turned into arrogance. Sometimes I wondered if the ‘thick blood’ my father had spoken of had all died.

It was already endangered, so isn’t it possible enough?

– I’m not the strongest person in the world, right?

There were times when I suddenly felt that way. Even when he told himself that it was a stupid idea, he couldn’t help the corners of his mouth that kept going up.

What was initially said in a joking tone gradually became more sincere. These days, I secretly whisper to my clients.

‘I’m crazy.’

Cold sweat broke out on Halken’s forehead. what? strongest human?

‘The strongest is a horn. There’s a monster label like that.’

If my past self was in front of me, I wanted to grab my hair and beat it. please let me know the subject.

The young knight in front of him was on a different level.

‘Let’s bounce. I have to jump out to live.’

It’s my father’s will, and it doesn’t matter if I sleep. Only the thought of getting out of this place quickly dominated my body.

But it’s already too late. The stupid employer has already started talking to you.

“To lead and welcome so many knights. I feel like I’m about to shed tears.”

“Funny. Did you guys see this as a welcome?”

“Not to meet you? Then what?”

“To uncover your nonsense… … !”

“Actually, the meeting is correct. It is an honor to meet you.”

“Sir Halken!?”

Michael made a sad face when Halken quickly stepped forward and lowered his head.

“What bullsh*t are you talking about now!”

“Oops, this introduction is late. My name is Halken Rugos.”

“Nice to meet you. It’s really nice to see your cheerful impression.”

“you’re welcome.”

Ignoring Michael, Halken held out his hand and asked for a handshake. Luke laughed and took Halken’s outstretched hand. At that moment, goosebumps ran through Halken’s body.

‘It’s a dragon.’

It was a very brief moment, but it was clearly visible. A pair of tear-stained pupils in golden eyes looked down at Halken.

‘Lord, I think I’ll die.’

It was difficult to breathe because of the pressure that seemed like it would collapse at any moment. It was a time when he was gasping for breath with a pale complexion.

“Are you okay? You must be feeling unwell.”

“Gwa, it’s okay.”

Halken was delighted at the voice he heard next to him. Even so, facing this monster was a tough car. If you have a moment to catch your breath… … .

‘f*ck, what is this.’

Halken’s lips trembled. Beside the dragon was a giant. It was smaller than a dragon, but it was enough to tear people apart like insects.

The wolf in front of him was too small.

“Halken Rugos. Come to think of it, I’ve heard of it somewhere.”

“yes! Even so, I have a little falsehood… … !”

Halken was delighted with the female knight’s voice. heard Yes, this woman is normal anyway. Halken turned his head and immediately closed his eyes.

‘Sick. This one is also a monster.’

The fiery spirit blazed. The red flame shook as if it would burn the wolf without leaving ashes. A feeling of pressure equivalent to that of a giant. Only then did Halken realize.

That he was a wolf living among sheep. In front of giants, spirits, and dragons, he was an existence that had no choice but to cry and run away.

‘Where the hell did these monsters come from?’

As Halken swallowed dry spit, Luke hit his knee as if he had just remembered.

“Oh, come to think of it, I forgot to introduce myself. Luke Bernstein.”

“I see. It’s Luke Bernstein… Wait, Luke Bernstein?”

Halken’s face, which had been arguing thoughtlessly, turned blue. The worst assumptions ran through my head.

“Sir, no way, Valtor’s demon slayer… … ?”

“That rumor seems to have spread quite widely? I thought only those who knew knew.”

Silence fell as Luke smiled and agreed. And after a while, a raucous cry erupted from among the mercenary knights behind.

“Baltor’s Demon Slayer!?”

“Could it be that Dragon Slayer!?”

“Heir to Godfrey!”

Luke blinked his eyes at the nicknames that followed. It was the first nickname I had ever heard of.

“What are the two on the back? The heir to the Dragon Slayer and Godfrey?”

“Sir, excuse me, but are you the one who participated in the battle for the throne in the north?”

“Right. I resigned halfway through.”

“Huh!”

Halken’s legs were drained of strength. I was almost going to sit down. Halken, who managed to straighten his staggering body, spoke in a trembling voice.

“Boo, I heard you killed several dragons in the North.”

“exactly.”

“Since then, you have been called the Dragon Slayer King. Although he resigned midway through, he also took part in the struggle for the throne.”

Originally, when giving a title, it is usually attached to a cooler and grander side. He could have become a king if he had to, so he is called the dragon slayer, not the dragon slayer.

Understanding the situation, Luke nodded.

“Godfrey’s heir is because of the dragon’s heart?”

“That’s right.”

“Well, out of many inheritances, I’ve only eaten one thing that’s left so far, and I’m an heir.”

Halken swallowed a laugh at Luke’s attitude that it was no big deal. Isn’t it a nickname given because that one legacy is at a level that is difficult to estimate its value?

It’s the heart of an ancient dragon. Even if there is nowhere to use it, it is a treasure that will cause bloodshed throughout the empire due to its rarity alone.

He swallowed the treasure as it was, so how could he become famous?

‘Besides, with the power he gained that way, he even earned the nickname Dragon Slayer.’

Nicknames that are difficult for ordinary people to acquire in their lifetime. However, the young knight in front of me obtained all three at the age of sixteen.

A monster far beyond what can be described with the word “extraordinary”. At least in Halken’s eyes, Luke looked like that.

“How many times can I tell you! It’s all a trick!”

“… By the way, how are the two of you?”

“That guy is my brother. We don’t get along very well because we talk so much.”

“hahahaha, that’s true of younger siblings. I understand.”

“I’m just grateful that you know.”

“… … !”

Michael kept saying something by the side, but Halken ignored it. Shouldn’t I tell you first that the other person is the Dragon Slayer?

Had he known, he would never have accepted the request even if he paid a thousand gold.

* * *

– Gee, the time is already like this. We’ll just go.

– Be careful. I enjoyed the conversation.

Halken took the time to get out of the room. Michael, who was half stunned, couldn’t even think of stopping him.

It was a good thing for the mercenaries. Even if they were stopped, they would have been forced to separate and run away.

“Whoa, he’s dead and alive.”

“Boss, boss. Aren’t you too scared?”

One of the members, a mercenary knight, frowned and touched. Even though they are from aristocratic families, they are all ruined families.

Due to their long life as a mercenary, their identity is closer to that of a mercenary rather than a knight. It’s been a long time since I’ve given you even manners.

“No matter what you say about the dragon slayer, you are not a human after all. Besides, the number of opponents is only three, no, four if you count servants? That’s only enough… … .”

“hahahaha, so let’s catch the Dragon Slayer by ourselves? A human who killed several dragons by those who would all be annihilated with a single flame dragon?”

“I must have stopped breathing for the last time. I heard that the army was also mobilized. Besides, when I saw it, I was a young kid.”

“That’s right. To be honest, rumors are exaggerated.”

How does this crazy guy say stuff like that without even knowing it? Even when some of the members showed signs of sympathy, the costumes burst even more.

Halken pointed with an absurd face.

“Okay, I quit being the mercenary leader. You choose the next leader.”

“what? what is that all of a sudden… … .”

“The rest follow the leader and fight the dragon slayer. I’ll be clearing out a bunch of bills today. No, you don’t even have to clean it up? The flesh and bones will be taken care of by the beasts.”

From noble mtl dot com

The members shut their mouths at the unstoppable verbal abuse. From old times, one persimmon is the leader who kills. If the leader said this, it was clear that there was a reason.

“Was it that dangerous?”

“Was it dangerous? Don’t you know that he came out of the tiger’s mouth after dying? The dragon slayer king was also a monster, but the knights on my left and right were much stronger than me!”

“… … !”

Consternation spread among the members. This is Halken, who usually half-jokingly and half-seriously said, “I am the strongest human being.”

To think that Halken’s voice would say ‘much stronger than himself’. Halken shook his head as he looked at the absent-minded members.

“What do I have to say? If you don’t know, just go and die. I am no longer the captain.”

Having said that, Halken quickly turned around and ran. The members who had been in a daze for a moment quietly followed Halken.

“Captain, wait a minute! We were wrong!”

“I believe you! I believe you!”

The members were dubious, but shouted and ran. Without knowing that he really saved his life thanks to Halken.

It wasn’t until several years later that the nickname ‘Red Wolf Halken’ changed to ‘Wise Halken’ and the members expressed their gratitude with tears in their eyes.
