Chapter 75

Of course, it was unknown whether Shion Reggieard would become an ally, regardless of whether or not he acquired the magic sword.

There must be a purpose for coming to the remote area, and my fiancé was standing by her side.

Moreover, since he founded the knights with the name of his family, he would not be able to recklessly abandon the position of leader of the knights.

‘It would be better to form an alliance than to join the Knights.’

In order for knights to cooperate, an alliance relationship must be premised.

However, the alliance could be broken at any time, and it was not necessarily beneficial because it had to be acted upon according to the treaty.

In addition, since he was not the leader of the knights, he could not negotiate arbitrarily.

‘Even if there is no magic sword, it is not worthless.’

Shion Regiard was a swordsman who realized swordsmanship at the age of 19.

In addition, there was something fatal about it, and it would grow even more in the future.

If he joins forces with Serran Silize, wouldn’t he be able to deal with not only the Witchbeasts, but also the 3 Great Demon Kings and 4 Great Disasters?

‘I can get it later… … .’

In order to communicate with the demonic sword, you need to raise the level of your magical power and achieve mental growth.

However, there was no clear standard, and the standard differed depending on the demonic sword.

Of course, the demonic sword would ignore that standard and forcibly try to communicate.

‘Even Shion Regiard won’t be able to use Acid Rain.’

Numerous people have used acid rain, but only one of them has survived the mind control and magical erosion abilities.

That human at least once dealt with himself, and used the two demonic swords to bring ruin to demons and dragons.

‘I should try talking.’

Enrite steps slowly and approaches Seran.

Seran noticed Enrite’s presence and turned his back.

“Have you heard the rumor?”

“uh… What rumors?”

“I mean Shion Regard.”

“Ah, you’re coming to the outskirts? My fiancé is coming too.”

“The fiance has the title of mage. I didn’t bring it because it was a ban. It was recognized as a colleague with skills.”

“Even though there are only two of them, the skills are amazing. But why are you bringing it up?”

“… How about forming an alliance with Shion Reggieard?”

“Yes?”

Saeran is embarrassed and unable to speak.

The white apostle had never been interested in other knights or mercenaries.

He only gave favorable reviews to the purple shrine, the silver phantom thief, or some of the knight commanders.

In other words, it was the first time he had invited me to conclude an alliance with another knights order.

“I don’t force it. Since you are the leader of the knights, you are making a request as a member of the knights.”

“Do you have a reason for your request?”

“Because it’s worth making an alliance with. If you can have Shion Reggiard as your ally, it will be of great help to you.”

“You look pretty good.”

“I’ve never had a good look. I was just telling the truth.”

I had thought of wanting to meet Serando Shion Regard.

He was a swordsman who learned swordsmanship at a young age, and seemed to have superior skills than himself.

However, he didn’t even think about the alliance, and he was worried about whether he could establish a dialogue with the nobles.

Most of the nobles looked down on the commoners, and if they did even a little bit, they regarded it as a lie and were jealous.

“Will Shion Regard listen to me?”

“… I’ll go with you. You can’t ignore me just by looking at my face.”

“Have you met Shion Regard?”

“It was before I joined your knights. He is a deep thinker. Even if I wasn’t there, I wouldn’t be rude, but… It is right for me to go with you if you want to convince me.”

Enritte didn’t want to miss Sion Regard.

Of course, as a Templar, we will face it someday, but then it will be too late.

They had to establish that relationship in advance so that they could move together whenever needed.

‘The destinies are gathering. I have to erase the traces with fate.’

Only those who bear the fate were able to annihilate the three great demon kings and the four great calamities.

Saeran Silage was one of them, and he felt a similar vibe to Shion Reggieard.

If they wanted to destroy the immortality of the 3 demon kings and 4 disasters, the owners of the 7 demon swords would have to gather together.

‘The acid rain is the problem. Who can handle acid rain… … .’

The eastern area of the Kingdom of Alain, near the supply base.

Shion and Harnette were leaving the supply base on horseback.

Originally, supply bases exist to store and transport troops’ equipment and food, but they also provide lodging and lodging limited to a few specific people.

Normally, they had to have connections with the royal palace, but Shion and Hanette were officially supported by dukes and marquesses, so they could be treated appropriately.

“Isn’t it more uncomfortable than being in a mansion?”

“It’s not comfortable, but it’s not that uncomfortable. I can bear it.”

“Even the meal wouldn’t suit your taste.”

“It’s tasteless, but not to the point that I can’t eat it. I think it’s better because it can be done simply.”

“Well… Aren’t you a bit embarrassed because you can’t wash well?”

“Isn’t that the same for you? It has already been resolved.”

Harnette smiled softly and looked at Shion.

Naturally, the standard of living was inevitably lower than when living in the mansion.

However, since I had already set a goal, I just accepted these things casually.

“The outskirts will be worse than supply bases. People who die keep appearing, and I’m busy fighting with demon beasts. I’m not going to go into battle, but I can’t avoid that situation.”

“I know. I heard it was boring. Can we help a little bit?”

“You don’t have to get hurt. It’s not that there aren’t any paladins, but we’re not the only ones looking after them.”

“You are more dangerous than me. Shouldn’t we be approaching and fighting?”

“Usually, I’ll end it with a sword. There is nothing good to see outside the castle.”

“Well… Does that make sense?”

Harnette was well aware of what she had done.

From noblemtl.com

Just staying on the fringes creates the possibility of getting caught up in battle.

Of course, Shion would protect him, but that didn’t necessarily make him safe.

With a half-hearted attitude, he would endanger himself and Shion.

“All good… That’s a bit annoying.”

“What bothers you?”

“You cut your hair.”

“Why? If we leave it as it is, it will either fly around or be stuck in armor.”

“It’s not that it’s wrong. It just doesn’t look good.”

“… Do you like long hair?”

“I don’t know if I like it, it’s just… I don’t think so.”

Shion frowns and looks at Hanette’s hair.

The orange hair that fell over her shoulders had been cut in half before she knew it.

In addition, it was tied together and lowered to the back, so it was forced to stand out even more.

“Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that it’s gotten uglier, it’s just… That’s what it is.”

“Don’t tell me in advance. You just need to change the way you tie it.”

“I don’t want to be greedy for things like this.”

“Hmm… … .”

Harnette, conscious of her hair, lightly touches it.

The hair will grow back later, but for the time being, it had to stay this way.

If I had known Xion’s taste in advance, I would have been able to match it a little.

“Looking at you now, I don’t think you talked about your ideal type.”

“You got engaged, does that mean anything?”

“Okay, tell me whatever comes to mind.”

“… What are you saying?”

“Can you explain it like before? You say you like long hair?”

“There is nothing else.”

“Why not? Is it enough to just have long hair?”

“Since my sister is my partner, she has no choice but to be my ideal type. What more can you explain?”

“… … ?”

Hannette ponders for a moment, then bursts into laughter.

It didn’t seem like he was saying it to look good for himself.

Even though he seems to have resigned himself to reality, doesn’t that mean he won’t even look at other women?

“You speak very well. Do you think I will like it if I say that?”

“You have to think the other way around. Now, my sister’s ideal type is to be me unconditionally.”

“I can count you as my ideal type.”

“Why are you patronizing me?”

“Because you are younger than me.”

“Isn’t that too much for me?”

“It’s hard to be overrated when you’re so good. Now I have nothing to show off other than my age and face.”

“You’re going to believe in those two and pretend to be proud?”

“How can you be proud of this? I was only telling the truth.”

Shion sighs and shakes his head.

A lot has changed in the meantime, but that confidence and reluctance still remained.

If that is also the charm of Harnette, wouldn’t it be a little convincing.

“I can’t help it. They say I’m your ideal type, so I have to match it.”

“I’m serious, aren’t you kidding me too much?”

“You shouldn’t have lied. Didn’t you say that you wanted me to hear you?”

“… Because my sister is pretty, I can see her as my ideal type. Did you think of things like personality and hobbies?”

“… Did you just say I’m pretty?”

Harnette asked back, slightly surprised.

Occasionally, I heard something similar from a few people, but Shion never mentioned it.

Why are you commenting on your appearance now?

“Then would you say I’m ugly?”

“Not that… Is this the first time you’ve said that?”

“I never had a chance to do it.”

“I didn’t expect the word pretty to come out of your mouth.”

“How are you looking at me?”

“just… It’s very different from what I think. Why are you saying that?”

“… … .”

Shion, lost for words, meets Hannette’s gaze.

Hannette shows a grave expression, but then bursts into laughter.

“Ahahahaha! Why are you looking at me like that?”

“I’m dumbfounded.”

“Why are you dumbfounded? you are very blunt I can’t say I’m pretty.”

“Whoa… If I were really blunt, I wouldn’t even talk to my sister.”

“That’s right… Still blunt He even jokes around strangely.”

“Don’t force yourself. Ugh… … .”

“Why is this so far-fetched?”

“If that’s not forced, what is?”

“Do you know that you and I are the same?”

“That’s it again. Aren’t you tired?”

“you really… … .”

The two stare at each other and slowly raise their voices.

The knights who followed him just watched quietly.

‘Is that a fight for love?’

‘It’s always the same’

‘Are you married already?’

‘They’re having fun.’

Alein Kingdom’s outskirts, Aliard Castle.

Aliard Castle was a fortress placed in the center of the front line.

Allied Castle is surrounded by stern and magnificent walls, and battles with demon beasts have frequently occurred in the vicinity.

As a result, the dispatch of reinforcements became frequent, and they had to maintain a balance by deploying tactics in the center.

That’s why they gathered a lot of troops in Allied Castle and responded immediately to the invasion of demon beasts.

‘Quiet. Are you trying to come in at once?’

A knight looked out of the castle and tried to find out the existence of the Witchbeasts.

A bow and quiver were attached to the waist dance, and sunlight blended into the scratched armor.

Her left hand was always in the bow holster, and purple magic was shining in her eyes.

Although the soldiers were conscious of the article, they did not forget to stand guard.

‘Silver won’t get hurt…’ … .’

The Balz Cabadrion, called the purple shrine, turns its back and descends from the castle wall.

The monsters disappeared, and there was no contact from the silver phantom thief.

Unlike usual, it was quite peaceful, but I couldn’t let my guard down.

‘He said he was looking for a disciple.’

Balz remembers the name and slowly stops.

I had heard of a man with that name coming to the outskirts.

In addition, since he had awakened to sword skills at the age of 19, he had no choice but to be a little interested.

‘Shion Regard… Shouldn’t we meet at least once?’
