Chapter 115

Barbarian

‘Knew would refuse.’

Theodore muttered while looking at the Grand Duke’s risen corners of the mouth.

‘Then why made this seat deliberately?’

Theodore who was pondering recalled that the Grand Duke also called Galahad.

Making the seat even knowing would refuse deliberately—.

‘It is for showing Galahad that the kingdom alliance also wants Adrianne.’

The kingdom alliance was a force counted together with the North next to the empire.

Such a kingdom alliance even obtained one with little mana matching Adrianne.

If showing the kingdom alliance’s active steps to Galahad, it would become considerable pressure.

Although that is a quite shallow move for the Grand Duke to place—.

‘Because a matter related to Adrianne.’

It is Adrianne even the kingdom alliance wants. Do well on your own—. degree of warning wouldn’t it be.

To the bright Galahad it would be quite effective.

“No, this—.”

Whether did not know Adrianne would firmly refuse, a flustered look rose on the face of the king of the kingdom alliance, Farhansta.

It was a natural story. The North was a situation of blocking the demon race alone without even receiving support from the empire.

Insufficient with that the empire designated the third son of a count and a mage as Adrianne’s partner. Opposition was natural.

Actually at first the opposition was fierce.

What overcame that was simply—.

‘Galahad’s ability.’

Theodore admired anew. Even thinking again amazing.

“Didn’t the relationship with the empire go awry? Heard the support was also cut now. Unlike such a stupid empire the kingdom alliance respects the North that protects the continent from the demon race. If not the empire’s eyes, would have also supported.”

Farhansta urgently continued the words.

The Grand Duke lowly laughed. The meeting hall softly trembled. A few soldiers staggered and shook.

Such presence with just laughing—. a fed up look rose on the knights’ faces.

“Are you guys different from the empire?”

The Grand Duke asked while looking at Farhansta.

Farhansta’s quiet white beard trembled with a padeul padeul.

The atmosphere swollen as if bursting soon.

“Tch.”

As the Grand Duke clicked his tongue, the tension disappeared in an instant. Farhansta’s complexion became pale.

“Poking around here and there.”

The Grand Duke lowly said.

Farhansta poked around the North’s here and there as if looking for something. The Grand Duke pointed that.

“There is one looking for.”

Farhansta obediently acknowledged unexpectedly.

Curiosity rose in the Grand Duke’s eyes. Theodore was the same. The king of the kingdom alliance having a person looking for in the North—. one had no choice but to be curious.

“Heard the story that he is in the North.”

Theodore became curious about that opponent. On earth what figure so the king of the kingdom alliance directly comes up to the North to look for.

“Who?”

As the Grand Duke asked, pondering rose on Farhansta’s face.

Farhansta who pondered for a moment nodded.

“It is a man called Kerchek.”

Kerchek? At the uncommon name Theodore furrowed his eyes.

“A warrior of the destroyed barbarian tribe, that skill was very excellent. The bravery there was no place to say—.”

Regret perched in Farhansta’s eyes. Whether enjoyable just talking about him the corners of Farhansta’s mouth trembled with a pareureu—.

The Grand Duke twitched his finger. At that Farhansta hesitated and continued the words.

“First faced him on the plain. At first flustered at the blatant barbarian. Where such a barbarian appeared—. yet the skill tremendous? Highly valued that skill and brought. Yet not simply only the skill good. How bright, learned words right away.”

Farhansta softly coughed. It seemed hard just speaking long because aged.

However, Farhansta’s eyes sparkled.

“Thought the bloodline of the great chieftain who is the legend of the barbarians. Because a story barbarians commonly float. His intelligence sparkling like the stars of the night sky shone more as days passed.”

Farhansta roughly coughed. The one who seemed a doctor beside hurriedly supported Farhansta. Farhansta pushed that hand.

‘To the extent of coming to look for with such an aged body—.’

On earth who—. Theodore’s eyes narrowed.

“Kerchek was one who knows ten if teaching one, and one who looks ahead a hundred if saying two. Brave like a barbarian, and clever receiving the wisdom of the stars. He saw through all the moves of other kingdoms. The tricks he blocked alone exceed a hundred.”

Farhansta chattered. Speaking in that aged voice, exactly the feeling of hearing a fragment of a legend.

Whether that content stimulated the Grand Duke’s interest, the Grand Duke nodded.

It was a rare reaction as the Grand Duke.

“Thanks to Kerchek our kingdom could take place as the center of the kingdom alliance. At that held a grand banquet, yet suddenly disappeared that night. Without even a trace like when appeared—. like a mirage of the night.”

“Not discarded like a dog whose hunting ended?”

At the Grand Duke’s question Farhansta fully furrowed his face. Exactly a face as if even insulted.

“Discarding! Kerchek is not a soul that belongs to someone! A free plain’s soul that cannot be bound even with women, even with property, even with honor!”

Farhansta’s answer was firm. At that the Grand Duke laughed with a keul keul.

“Why looking for the free plain’s soul?”

Farhansta tightly— closed his mouth. Soon exhaled a deep sigh and nodded.

“Because he is needed.”

Farhansta’s voice was firm.

“Kerchek.”

The Grand Duke rarely expressed interest.

A man rough like a barbarian, yet bright like the stars of the night sky, and not entangled in property or women, honor—.

Because if according to the explanation it was the man the North counts as the best.

“So where placed Kerchek?”

Farhansta asked while opening his eyes narrowly.

“It is a name first hearing. I also want to meet.”

“Heard the story that the North’s situation recently quickly improved. If Kerchek it is a possible story.”

At Farhansta’s words a subtle atmosphere circulated.

Certainly the North’s situation improving was thanks to Galahad. Somehow similar to the kingdom alliance.

Surely—.

“How is the guy called Kerchek?”

“Very brave like a barbarian origin. Although that appearance is quite rough, the face is neatly handsome. Did not eat meals if no alcohol, and did not sleep if no woman! According to the women who slept with Kerchek, the stamina is amazing to the extent of losing consciousness the moment embracing!”

At the very blatant explanation Theodore softly relieved.

Except only that excellent, isn’t exactly the opposite figure of Galahad.

And the name is Kerchek something. Exactly a name like a blocked throat sound.

Then, the meeting hall’s door opened. Galahad who neatly passed the hair entered. Everyone’s gazes focused in an instant.

Galahad looked around the hall.

The Grand Duke and the king of the kingdom alliance, and Adrianne were sitting around. What this situation shows was obvious.

Galahad was a bright man. Even without explaining, would have understood the situation.

‘The kingdom alliance also wants Adrianne—.’

The value of the kingdom alliance Galahad would know well. It was clear would be quite large pressure.

Actually the expression of Galahad who entered the room was not good. Somehow an unpleasant face.

The corners of the Grand Duke’s mouth savagely rose.

Then, Galahad’s mouth opened.

“Long time.”

It was out of the blue content. That direction was also strange. It was not a greeting toward the Grand Duke.

‘The king of the kingdom alliance?’

Galahad said to Farhansta.

“Long time—?”

The eyes of Farhansta who was muttering became large. The eyes full of wrinkles sparkled. The aged mouth opened with a jjeok—. Farhansta stood with a flash.

“Ah ah, Kerchek.”

Joy as if meeting an old close friend rose on the face. Farhansta ran with a heolleobeolleok. One shoe came off and rolled on the floor.

“Where··· were you! The appearance became truly neat! On earth what rough matter experienced! The barbarian’s star, Kerchek!”

Farhansta held Galahad’s hand.

At the appearance of the two as if releasing old reminiscence—.

The corners of the Grand Duke’s mouth stiffened.

‘······Galahad is the barbarian Kerchek?’

At a completely unexpected situation, a subtle atmosphere circulated.

Only Farhansta brightly laughed.

*

The mission with the largest scale among the missions Galahad was in charge of was saving the imperial princess.

The mission with the longest period was dividing the kingdom alliance.

Dividing the kingdom alliance was a solo mission. The mission goal was approaching the kingdom alliance and causing division.

At that Galahad approached the kingdom with the smallest scale among the kingdom alliance.

Although a harder path than other kingdoms, in Galahad’s view the kingdoms of the kingdom alliance were all the same there.

Rather because the scale is small there was the advantage of freer movement.

The problem was the antipathy toward the empire. At that Galahad disguised as a barbarian. Around the kingdom alliance there were quite many barbarian groups, and it was the status that receives the least suspicion.

There was no need to even make up the past. Just pretending awkward and tearing meat raw and was treated as a barbarian.

Galahad raised the smallest kingdom among the kingdom alliance up to the representative of the kingdom alliance.

It was not purely Galahad’s ability. That the kingdom’s ability was better than thought also played a role.

From the beginning because that scale was the smallest, there was also the least check from other kingdoms.

With the friction and fights that occurred in that process the kingdom alliance greatly shook, and the mission ended in success.

Galahad who finished the mission erased all traces as always and returned.

Thought it was a matter that ended so.

From the beginning ones who went up to the center of the kingdom alliance.

Originally like eating a dog whose hunting ended, it was clear Galahad’s existence would be burdensome.

Yet—.

‘Did not know would still look for.’

Galahad clicked his tongue while looking at Farhansta sitting beside. Even directly coming to look for—.

“The Janne Kingdom recently raised dissatisfaction. Says the profit is less than what the kingdom alliance takes. How much we helped when a drought came a few years ago! How should one do?”

Farhansta asked Galahad like the old days. Galahad smiled bitterly.

“Flow the numerical value the Janne Kingdom received support to the kingdom side that paid the most money recently.”

“Oh, is that so! Then would check each other! As expected Kerchek!”

“Kerchek?”

A low magic beast’s cry was heard. Turning the head, the Grand Duke was glaring with a savage face.

“Heard the story.”

Farhansta said in a low voice. Although seeming saying small, the opponent was the Grand Duke and Adrianne. There was no way not heard.

“Even if you worked for the empire it is fine. Let’s go together.”

Farhansta’s proposal was outside expectation.

‘Found out I am from the Information Bureau.’

Would have been able to infer for what purpose approached oneself.

Still fine—.

‘A problem arose in the kingdom alliance. And that a big problem to the extent the king has to move directly—.’

Galahad’s eyes narrowed.

There were quite reasons worth estimating. Among them the currently thickest—.

‘Because the prince died.’

Might be that the 3rd Imperial Prince aimed at this.

Then, a fierce feeling was felt. Exactly the feeling of entering a beast’s maw.

Raising the head the Grand Duke··· no, a high-rank magic beast was glaring at Galahad.

‘Was thinking of giving alertness to me.’

Galahad quickly inferred the current situation.

It seemed the Grand Duke was thinking of giving alertness to Galahad.

As Farhansta rather welcomed Galahad the Grand Duke’s minor plan went awry and—.

‘Rather good.’

Regardless of how that internal situation, Farhansta participated as the representative of the kingdom alliance.

It was good to raise the body value when one can raise.

“Will you tell in detail?”

Galahad slightly turned sitting toward Farhansta.

Galahad said with the back manly.

I, might go to the kingdom alliance?

“Oh oh, saying obvious sounds! I will tell in detail the matters that occurred after you left! Not being like this, let’s go to the place one should be!”

When Farhansta was chattering in full swing—.

Udeudeuk, a fierce sound was heard.

It was the Grand Duke.

“The meal ended.”

The Grand Duke lowly said. It was a clear expulsion order.

“I have not even lifted the spoon yet though······.”

Although slightly shook the spoon, it did not work.

“Everyone go out.”

The Grand Duke shortly ordered.

It was a firm order without even a gap.

Galahad clicked his tongue softly and stood. Other ones were already in the middle of leaving the seat.

Farhansta conversely ran to Galahad.

“Kerchek, there were many matters in the meantime. Truly many. The places saying will withdraw from the kingdom alliance alone already—.”

At Farhansta chattering Galahad slightly shook his head. The story of the kingdom alliance was not something to do here.

Farhansta’s aged eyes were full of regret. Anyway it seemed the mind is precarious.

It was enough. Because would have experienced many matters.

‘So looked for me.’

Galahad’s eyes deepened.

Then—.

“You stay.”

The Grand Duke’s fierce voice caught the back of Galahad’s neck.

Turning the heavy neck, the Grand Duke’s ferocious eyes were pointing at Galahad.

“No! Kerchek!! No! How found!”

Farhansta desperately chattered. Farhansta resisted, but was dragged out by other ones of the kingdom alliance.

They were ridiculously looking at the Grand Duke’s mood.

At the Grand Duke’s short order everyone went outside.

Eventually, only Galahad remained alone and faced the Grand Duke.

The Grand Duke quietly stared at Galahad. The eyes were beyond savage to ferocious.

Even though just quietly glaring the illusion of the air becoming heavy was felt.

“Barbarian?”

The Grand Duke made an out of the blue sound.

‘Farhansta spilled all.’

They say if aging words become many—.

“Anyone would have one past?”

“Past.”

The Grand Duke laughed with a keul keul. Every time laughing the floor shook.

“Seems eagerly looking for you.”

The Grand Duke tore meat. Blood roughly splashed from the meat. A nasty smell fully blew. It was magic beast meat. Said the meal ended—.

“Because I am quite capable.”

Galahad lightly answered and lifted the fork and knife.

Silence continued for a moment. The sound of the Grand Duke roughly tearing meat filled the room.

The Grand Duke particularly left Galahad separately. Galahad softly muttered.

‘Worrying whether I would go over.’

Although an action not matching the Grand Duke but—.

‘Because Adrianne is the weakness.’

It was clear Farhansta stimulated the Grand Duke.

At that Galahad wiped the mouth area and opened his mouth.

“No need to worry. I am thinking of being beside Adrianne.”

The corners of the Grand Duke’s mouth roughly rose. Looking closely it was a smile.

“I do not worry.”

The Grand Duke’s voice was low. Red blood flowed to that mouth area. Wet the roughly grown beard.

“Because all killed.”

The Grand Duke’s mouth fully rose. Flesh was stuck on the huge fangs.

‘Use dental floss a bit.’

Galahad furrowed his eyes.

However, that not worrying was a lie. If so would not have particularly left Galahad separately.

Hmm—.

Galahad put the meat in his mouth and let out a groan.

‘If already like this difficult.’

Yet many guests left to come—.

Even Farhansta was the weak among them.

“Barbarian.”

The Grand Duke muttered again.

Galahad could not know why the Grand Duke keeps saying barbarian.

****

“Damn! How driving again stuck! This bright red old man!”

An old man wearing a white robe got angry while swinging the staff with a bung bung. The old man wearing a red robe who heard the red sound fully furrowed his eyes.

“How many times said the magic power car is useless in a place where snow piled like this! Wasn’t it you who insisted can go! This senile guy!”

“Snow one can melt with fire! While receiving red! If so return the red! Do shit color!”

“What?! Shit color?! This fucking guy! You try!”

The old men fought fiercely even swinging the staff.

The youth who was a little away furrowed his eyes.

The big shots called the elders of the magic tower fighting with such a trivial thing—.

‘Why the elders of the 4 great magic towers up to the North?’

The youth’s magic tower lord was not particularly different. Although could not move because of the empire’s request—.

[Galahad came out as a sale?! Must catch! Must!!]

The magic tower lord emphasized to the youth several times. Whatever condition comes out definitely catch Galahad—.

‘On earth what is the guy called Galahad.’

Isn’t academy top graduation all? A mage whose career was cut after that why everyone making a fuss, the youth could not understand.

“Look well! This is red!!”

Then, rough heat was felt. The old man was fully spewing fire from the staff. How fierce that fire, the fully piled snow melted and flowed as water.

The youth opened his mouth with a jjeok.

“Red is damn! With only that degree urine stream took red?!”

“What urine stream?!”

The old men continuously fought.

"Galahad promised to come to me!"

"I applied saliva first! This senile old man!"

Exactly as if checking each other—.
