episode 588 departure on the royal road (5)
tuong! turong-!
the cheerful sound of hammering echoed through the forest.
ray, who turned over several times to inspect the wheels of the wagon, soon put down the hammer as if satisfied.
“this is enough.”
the completed wheel in his hands was in pretty good shape.
the knights admired his ability to restore a half-broken wheel to normal in only twenty minutes or so.
“awesome.”
“the carpenter is going to cry too.”
the exterior was covered with wood, so there were some ugly parts, but it was not unreasonable to see that he was already a carpenter when he saw that he noticed like a ghost and planed when there were angular parts.
ray smiled at the knights’ praise.
“this is nothing.”
“come to think of it, i heard that you handled the work of the healers instead. i wish i had a lot of talent. ha ha ha.”
“really? you should have seen the faces of those high-nosed therapists! i feel relieved, hahahaha!”
the knights laughed heartily.
after inserting the repaired wheel into the wagon, ray nodded after rolling it around several times.
“it’s done. there should be no problem until we reach the capital. new wheels can be changed on the royal road.”
at that, count sylvester laughed.
“thank you. i didn’t know you could touch trees.”
“once upon a time, i spit and touched some wood at the blacksmith’s.”
“ha ha ha. it wouldn’t have been normal if you were there. i want to know where that forge is.”
know it hurts
if you visit him to entrust him with a request, he will probably get slapped in the cheek.
when he himself was introduced by aira, he had to offer his cheeks, saying, ‘how dare a kid who doesn’t understand railroading dare step into a sacred forge?’
ray, recalling the past, shook his head.
“how long do we have until the capital?”
count sylvester, who climbed into the carriage and leaned deeply against the back of the chair, answered while stroking his beard.
“ugh. i’ll have to go two full days. i hope nothing special happens in the meantime...”
he glanced at the carriages behind him as he spoke.
marquis of garen and viscount mace.
the fact that the marquis and viscount were captured hadn’t been leaked yet, so the central nobles might not know about it, but if it became known before arriving at the capital, there was a possibility that things could go wrong.
ray also looked at the back carriages.
there is still no signs of being felt around.
‘two days.’
it’s a bit of an ambiguous time.
not a little, but not a lot of time either.
it was enough to send an assassin into it.
if someone, be it the royal family or the central nobility, did something, there was no way that this small group of knights could stop it.
‘it’s better to be on guard.’
ray carved a pattern on one side of the carriage so that the count would not find out.
as i lifted my finger, a small aura formed.
he scraped the inside of the wagon as if gently scraping it, and soon a wonderful magic circle was completed.
ray infused mana into it.
due to his characteristic of moving mana in the air, the magic he manifested was difficult to recognize even by higher-class mages.
after successfully drawing the magic circle, ray decided to take a breather until he reached the royal capital.
it’s a long road trip.
“excuse me. may i ask how you came?”
the soldiers’ voices were infinitely more polite than when dealing with others in line with the queue of wagons and unusual-looking flags.
the leader of the knights at the front showed the hand of count sylvester and said.
“i came to have an audience with his majesty the king.”
countess sylvester.
rumors of an extremely poor aristocratic family spread throughout the capital, so the soldier glanced at the carriage for a moment.
just as expected.
from the wheels of the carriage at the front, there were traces of several trees.
although the appearance was polished, there was no doubt that it was count sylvester, judging from the situation where they were repairing because they did not have the money to buy carriage wheels.
the soldier sneered inwardly and stepped aside.
“i’m sorry i didn’t know. please go in.”
how can i not understand those eyes mixed with ridicule?
the knight commander shrugged his shoulders as if he was used to it, instead of answering.
“thank you.”
he was despised by a mere soldier, but if he got angry here, it would be like giving an excuse.
the knight commander, who did not want his lord to get involved in something useless, deliberately took it lightly.
of course, there was no such thing as the knights under his command.
when their leader was ignored by a single soldier, they rolled their eyes.
they put their hands on the swords that were on their waists.
the moment the knights were just about to say something.
the knight commander interrupted them and shook his head.
“did you dare to disgrace the family?”
it sounded like an admonition, but the tone was very firm.
at the words of the captain, the knights released their hands from the swords.
“...sorry.”
“he showed ugliness.”
why don’t you know that they are?
if they move, the lord will eventually take responsibility for it.
it was hard to bear being ignored in front of hana’s eyes.
as i was enduring it with desperate patience, one soldier said as if tossing it out.
“if you are going, go quickly. there are people waiting behind you.”
“sorry about this. i will go right now.”
the knight commander briefly apologized and immediately mounted his horse.
“let’s go.”
thinking of the articles, he deliberately pretends nothing is wrong.
so they also got on the horse.
looking at the miserable figure of the leader, ray frowned.
“there is no such thing as poor treatment. it is said that the capital of any kingdom is hard-hearted, but is this really like this?”
how could the count’s family be ignored?
count sylvester bowed his head as if he had no face.
“i’m sorry. i had no intention of punishing you.”
“why is the count apologizing? the rudeness was committed over there.”
i didn’t intend to go out, but if it’s this way, i’ll change my mind a little.
in addition, he even smiled strangely when he saw the wheel he had repaired.
it was difficult for ray, who had been taught to smash his head with a hammer if his work was ignored while learning blacksmithing from derp.
originally, ray’s mind, which was intended to come out only after making a deal with king heron, gradually leaned toward count sylvester.
