Chapter 174
Duke’s apprentice (1)
Duke Bismarck.
If Duke Raven was a family that worshipped the sword, Duke Bismarck was a family that worshipped magic in contrast.
Unlike the Duke Raven, who was the guardian swordsman of the Empire for generations, they held the position of Imperial Court Wizard or Chancellor.
The difference between a Muga and a Moon.
That’s why they were always compared frequently.
Both swords and magic were hard to block.
At the time, of course, most people would say Raven was dominant when face-to-face.
The great armor of Stormbringer, plus the power of the Grand Master Raven, who transcended human limits, was truly a pair.
Raven ducs from the Guardian Sword of the Ancient Empire could have been nicknamed ‘Magician Killer’ while cutting magic with their swords.
That’s why the reputation and status of Duke Raven has always been marginally considered to be the best in the empire.
Decades later, however, Duke Bismarck was now in real time, and Duke Raven was banished to his chambers.
It’s all because of me…
Nigel blames himself.
In fact, Nigel became the next Duke of Raven.
He had excellent administrative and managerial skills, but unfortunately he was not as good at swordsmanship as his brother.
And while everyone was resting, this was one of the reasons for weakening the power of the family famous for sword.
Most swordsmen would see the reputation of a great swordsman, and talent would come to their aid.
But I don’t get it. Even without me, there were many talented people in our family.
Raven questioned.
He would, except for Raven, who was the Grand Master and Head of Household, there were a lot of houses in Raven Duke.
However, Nigel’s expression was written on Raven’s question.
They’re all gone.
What? What does that even mean?
Most of them were scattered to other families. All that’s left now is a few who are truly loyal.
… Did Gilly leave too?
Yes….
You didn’t leave him, did you?
… He’s been gone a long time.
Ugh…
Knights who were Duke Raven’s pillars.
Raven is relieved to hear that all those who seemed to have pledged allegiance to their duke for their entire lives are gone.
… I’ve got the wrong person. We’ve been together for centuries, and it’s so easy to leave.
Gilly was the master of the bow enough to do his own work.
And Dyron, the knight of the Iron Wall, who gave his name to the orb with his unique shield technique.
All the quaint sod masters of the Raven Duke, who could chew by themselves, all leave behind.
Raven was even more shocked that he was a family member, almost like a brother at the time of his rebirth.
They would have had their reasons.
Of course…. There must have been a reason.
After Nigel’s downfall, Raven nods with a firm look.
Nigel has a grumpy stomach watching his brother like that.
‘… because there is no future here…. ’
After Raven disappeared, Raven Duke was greatly weakened in the imperial court.
They slaughtered each other in a political struggle between the nobles and lost one or two of their interests.
Everyone turns their backs one hour to see if Duke Raven thinks there’s no future anymore, and Duke Raven is pushed and pushed away.
Eventually, Duke Raven was forced to remove the original duc position close to the Imperial Court and be pushed into the current region of Chardvang.
Surface reasons are due to the deterioration of imperial finances caused by a long war and recovery of territory.
Originally, the territory of the nobles was all imperial property, but they never recovered the land they had historically paid without a reason.
Most of the reasons for failing were treason.
I never thought I’d take over the land of a family that has been loyal to me for generations.
However, there was no longer Duke Raven’s side in the imperial court.
In fact, they admired the Duke Raven, who had always held only the best seats.
In other words, Duke Raven had many enemies.
And just as they were about to get weaker, everyone turned their backs.
Raven, the Duke of Raven, has finally been pushed to his side.
On the surface, it appeared that they had deserted the Fertile Grain Belt of Chardvanc, but this was only an honor in the past.
Today, it was a terrible place filled with monsters.
Wouldn’t it be nice to be away from monsters because of the Dragon’s Season?
Not at all likely.
The end of the dragon was also clear.
It’s almost permanent whether it supplies magic on its own, but the more ferocious the monsters attack, the more they lose their power.
Eventually, it broke through, and this is when the monsters broke in.
That’s why the soldiers were desperately defending the perimeter.
Their lives and their families are in danger.
Because of this, countless logistics resources were constantly pouring in for supply, which almost bankrupted the Duke of Raven.
Much of the wealth that Duke Raven had amassed over the centuries has also been at its peak.
And soldiers and knights who have experienced this kind of hellish area.
They all wanted to get out of this corner of their minds.
Maybe Gilly and Dyron were loyal pretenders.
‘But things will be different now. ’
Nigel is bitter in his heart, but he feels hope rising.
That’s why his brother, Raven, is back.
Just by looking at his taut face, all the problems seemed to be solved.
And Raven nodding, noticing the look in Nigel’s eyes.
Don’t worry. I’ll take care of everything now.
I can’t believe that bold voice of yours.
Nigel’s eyes turned red.
I believe you, sir.
Are you crying? You’re getting more and more tearful as you get older.
Haha, I’ve only got three grandchildren. I’m a little old for that.
Nigel says, stealing his teary eyes.
Hmm… Is it already like that?
Thirty years later, he turned his younger brother into an old man.
Raven felt sorry for the wrinkles on his eyes, as they seemed to show the struggle.
It was a time when everyone was speechless in that old atmosphere.
Jerbuck Jerbuck Jerbuck
A walk from a distance catches Sang-woo and Raven’s breath.
Already they should not be taken lightly because most of the movements of the people who live in the city are felt, but this is the basis of a new person coming in from outside the castle.
So when you care about the movement.
The figure goes straight to the tangent room, and opens the old door of the tangent room.
Moss gains
A door that creaks open.
What appeared there was one chieftain with an armor wrapped around his body and only his face revealed.
An exquisite beauty with silver hair and silver eyes just looking at her face.
“Beautiful.”
When I thought of Sang-woo, who had a girlfriend, without even knowing it.
“I was rude to my curiosity when I heard the Lord had returned. Forgive my rudeness, Lord. ”
Kneel down to Nigel and set an example according to the custom of the Yurencia Empire.
And Nigel kicks his tongue in.
I told my grandfather he didn’t have to be so polite… Wake up, Cailin.
Maybe this was Nigel’s granddaughter.
Sang-woo was surprised.
‘Granddaughter? Huff… ’
Nigel looked a lot older than Raven, but he didn’t look old enough to have this place called Cailin as his granddaughter.
I felt more like a handsome middle-aged man than I felt like a grandfather.
Besides, that place looks pretty mature for a teenager.
“How old is your granddaughter when she’s two or 30? ’
When Sang-woo suddenly lost his mind in the wrong place.
Cairin gets up and looks at Raven, the former head of household.
“… Are you my previous housekeeper? ”
Sang-woo doesn’t understand the language of the Eurensian Empire.
However, due to the meaningful tone he felt there, he also broke his mind and looked at Cairin.
Yes, I am Kaisel Raven. You’re my granddaughter. Nice to meet you.
She’s his granddaughter, just like Raven’s granddaughter.
That’s why there was a smile on Raven’s face.
However, Cairin’s face was not.
Rather a serious situation.
“Are you the successor to the Stormbringer sword? ”
Yes, it is.
“Then teach me the sword of Stormbringer. ”
Hmmm?
You asked me to teach you how to use a sword as soon as I saw it.
Raven was a little embarrassed.
Cairin bows his head again, politely.
“Your… No, I want to be Lord’s disciple. Take me as your apprentice.”
Hmm…
Raven was silent for a moment in a sudden situation.
He asked Cairin instead.
Why do you want to learn Stormbringer swords?
With that said, Cairin nods quietly.
She looks at Raven with a frowning look.
“… so that Stormbringer doesn’t run out of time. ”
A challenging voice with a slight grudge.
There was blame on Raven.
Yes, it is.
Stormbringer sword for windy armor stormbringer.
The sword that only Duke Raven’s heirlooms had learned and used for generations was passed verbally without his own sword, so no one else could learn it except the current heirloom and heirloom.
It was a family vision that was told in secret.
Even if the swordsman died, it was a risky way of dealing with the catastrophe that would immediately sever his pulse.
‘Not dangerous. Who in the world can kill a user of the Stormbringer sword? ’
However, it was the foot of confidence.
Great swordsmanship led to the Grand Master.
And one of the Elemental Swords, Stormbringer.
Killing Raven’s ducks was practically a national tactical weapon for all time.
But was it the truth that there is no eternal and absolute thing in the world?
Even the seemingly eternal successor of the Stormbringer sword disappeared on Black Friday without a sound.
All that remained in the battlefield was the discarded Magic Sword Stormbringer.
Everyone was sad to hear that Duke Raven was dead, and that the Stormbringer sword had been broken.
In fact, until then, Raven had no formal disciple, Sogaju.
This was the reason why he had no children because he had been busy in the war for many years.
Most of the time, the disciples of Sogaju, the Stombringer sword, were taken over by the son of Gaju.
That’s why I received the best bride and gave the sword to my children by seeing the good offspring.
But that seemingly permanent strand of Stormbringer suddenly severed.
Duke Raven has almost fallen.
Maybe that’s why.
The Challenging Eye of Cairin now.
There’s a…
Why you didn’t create a disciple in advance.
Why didn’t you hand over the Stormbringer sword in advance?
Why he abandoned his family and disappeared, and now he appears.
There were such reprimands.
And what she demanded was clear.
‘As soon as it disappears, pass the sword on ahead. ’
It meant that he would learn the sword and join the family.
And Raven, who read Cairin’s criticism in her own words.
Raven sighs as she looks at her as if she’s in a snowfight.
I’m sorry, I can’t.
“… I can’t. Why-why the hell not? ”
Kairin’s tone is slightly elevated, as if he didn’t know to refuse.
“Is it because I’m a woman that you can’t? ”
And Cairin adds,
It meant a lot to me if I shouldn’t be a woman.
A woman’s body is physically weaker than a man’s.
That’s why I became a knight despite the worries of many people.
Difficulties and discrimination in the process.
All that excitement and fire.
But Raven shakes his head as if it wasn’t.
I’m not saying no because you’re a woman. Just because I already have a disciple.
At the same time, I looked at Sang-woo in Raven.
Cairin looks at Sang-woo.
I was surprised to find out if you were Raven’s apprentice.
And Sang-woo was just embarrassed.
‘What the hell. Why are you looking at me? ’
Cairin doesn’t understand what Sang-woo is saying because it’s in the Eurasian Empire.
I’m just guessing he’s talking about his disciples by talking about something roughly.
“He’s a student? ’
Although Sang-woo didn’t say he was a disciple, Cailin could clearly see that Sang-woo was a disciple just by looking at Raven’s eyes.
That’s why she took a good look at Sang-woo.
He sat quietly on the old couch listening with his hands clasped.
Dressed in a black outfit (combat suit) that sticks to an invisible body in the Empire, his body looks considerably larger even as he sits down, and his muscles bulge.
It was quite refined.
However, it was difficult to assess his strength by appearances alone.
The ability to spread errors in the body into the atmosphere was not at all possible because only a true master could do it.
That’s why Cairin rises up and asks.
“Are you a disciple of Lord Raven? ”
And Sang-woo stared blankly at his words.
He didn’t understand a word she said.
That’s why I was stunned for a while, then smiled and replied.
“Hello, I’m Jungwoo. ”
And Cailin also didn’t understand Sang-woo’s words.
‘What are you talking about? ’
But she told me what she had to say.
“I want to fight you. ”
I wanted to test my skills against him.
I wanted to see for myself if he truly was a worthy successor to the Stormbringer sword.
And Sang-woo didn’t understand a word either.
“Oh, it’s good to see you, too. ”
Duke’s Disciple (1) End
