The Count laughed heartily, saying he knew that.

“There is just one thing that takes me.”

– What is it?

At my next words, he stopped laughing.

I asked ferociously, “Who the hell is disturbing me?”

“You have to get permission from your father.”

– Oh, that’s natural. do not worry. I’ll get a confirmation from Gerard.

“thank you. And one more thing.”

When I said that the existence of the inspector was caught, his face was distorted horribly.

I dared to grit my teeth as if they were going wild without knowing the subject.

-What do you want me to do for you? Are you going to kill them?

He told me to just talk, saying he would listen to me if I asked.

If I recall his disposition, I can tell that he would slit the throats of inspectors if I asked him to.

‘They are my food. I have no intention of passing it on to someone else.’

Revenge is best when done with one’s own hands, but borrowing someone else’s hand reduces the pleasure.

I will make them beg and beg for me with my hands.

But that wasn’t the case now.

“no. That’s not it. May I take them with me?”

-what?

His angry eyes widened.

It was a face that doubted whether he had heard it wrong.

said to him again.

“I asked if I could take them to the South.”

-Take them to the south… ?

“Yes. Although they are stupid, they are intermediate sword experts. I don’t know about the other side, but it will be of some help when fighting.”

– Uhm… .

he let out a small groan.

Taking me and taking them were two different things.

I didn’t know that, so I quietly waited for his answer.

– It won’t be difficult.

As time went by and when it got boring, he gave an affirmative answer.

-The person in charge this time is me, and even if one or two more people are added, it won’t be a big problem. And if it’s knight level… I’ll be fine.

He grabbed his chin and nodded.

– Bring it. But I don’t know if it will be okay. Will those who grew up noble in the center be able to withstand the wild nature of the South?

“Well… Still, aren’t you a sword expert? There is something that has gone up there, but I can’t stand it.”

-That’s something I don’t know.

he snorted. He was convinced that the Inspectors would never make it out in the South.

I couldn’t easily agree with that statement.

I had only seen and heard about the South, but I hadn’t experienced it myself, so I wasn’t sure what I was going to do.

“thank you. see you tommorow.”

-yes. I’ll see you tomorrow.

he cut off communication.

I got up and left the room.

“What were you doing in your room?”

“What are you hiding? It’s unmatched to win.”

Perhaps they were waiting, as soon as they left the room, the inspectors rushed to them.

I was asked what I was doing in the room and asked to tell me right away.

I let them do what they did, and the momentum rose without knowing that it was sky high.

‘This is only today.’

Okay.

It’s only today that I don’t know my subject and run amok.

Ignoring them, I headed straight for the Count.

Count Warrug said he would convince me, but I had better do this with my own mouth.

“Go and come.”

As if it had already been said, the count gave permission very easily.

It was a pleasure that was embarrassing again.

“Do you need anything? If you have anything to ask of me, tell me now.”

“… There is not.”

“yes. Then come and go.”

He waved his hand with a careless face.

His face was very tired.

I knew it was because of the inspectors.

The inspectors weren’t enough to harass me and my vassals, so they even asked the Count to cooperate.

‘I’m glad I didn’t kill him.’

I could have known what would have happened to them if I hadn’t told the count to entrust it to me.

“Then I will go.”

“As you can see, I can’t see you off tomorrow.”

“I know.”

I bowed my head to him and left the office.

Repeating what he said like a parrot, he headed for the training ground, ignoring the inspectors who followed him.

Huong, Hung!

At the training ground, they became quiet.

Those who said they weren’t afraid to die shuddered at the momentum of the knights.

Their behavior was so strange that I doubted whether they wanted to be killed by me or the count, not by the knights.

“How about a simple match?”

“great.”

The captain of the knights, who was looking after the knights’ swords, readily accepted my request.

It looked like he was waiting again.

Bang, Quaang!

I started sparring with the knight commander, and I was able to calm my sore ears for a while.

***

“Ji, what did you just say?”

“If I’m not mistaken, did you just say Southern?”

A day later, as I was about to head south, the inspectors were whispering to each other with their faces completely white.

“You heard me well. I will go south.”

“Uh, why… !”

“What are you going there for? Did you get permission?”

one of them shouted ferociously.

He looked around at them and said.

“Then is there any reason why I shouldn’t go?”

“Everything, of course, permission there… !”

“If permission is granted, I have already received it. The person in charge of this supply is Count Warrug, and he appointed me directly.”

“uh… .”

“Is this still going to be a problem?”

They rolled their eyes.

Not knowing what to do, we looked at each other.

“Yes, there is a problem!”

Then, an inspector raised his hand as if he had remembered something.

There’s no problem, so what’s the problem?

Turning to him, he shouted with a spirited look.

“You are under investigation. It’s strange that you, who should be investigated by us, go somewhere else!”

“Right! Refusing to be investigated by us is disobeying the King’s command!”

Oh, it will come out like that.

But what to do with this, the matter has already been resolved.

“That’s fine.”

“what… ?”

“Because the inspectors can follow me.”

“… !”

Their eyes widened in amazement.

“Why are you so upset? Isn’t that obvious?”

“Well, how is that natural?”

“It is strange. As far as I know, I heard that the authority of the person in charge of sending supplies to the south comes from His Highness the King. Are you sure you want to disobey His Highness’s order?”

“That, that… !”

“I never said I was refusing an investigation. I was just asking for your understanding. I’m going to move the place of investigation. Didn’t you say that you came out of a specific place when you left the inspection?”

“… .”

they shut up

It’s embarrassing. There was nothing wrong with what I said.

They only came out to inspect me, not a specific ‘place’ to investigate me.

As I said, wherever I go, they just follow me.

“And I don’t know what to do when I go there. Like you said, a black magician could come out of it. Shouldn’t we go and watch together? I hope you will not abandon your duty.”

They didn’t make a hole for them to get out of.

somehow made me follow

“Go, shouldn’t we go!”

“You will have to be prepared! We will dig into your details!”

In the end, they had no choice but to accept.

He said with a refreshing smile to those who shouted that he would not lose somehow.

“Then I will look forward to it. Please go.”

As I snapped my fingers, the maids waiting next to me brought several bags and handed them one by one.

“This… ?”

“I prepared it because I didn’t know, but it turned out well. It was packed with daily necessities for the next three months.”

Their faces hardened at the way I said that I was preparing.

Only then did they realize that they had been baited.

But, once spoken, I couldn’t take it back.

“Count Warrug is waiting for you.”

Upon boarding the gate, they hesitated with their bags.

He nodded to them to come.

Reluctantly, they climbed the gate like watching cattle being led to the slaughterhouse.

“Welcome. Raymond, I’ve been waiting for you.”

Count Warrug greeted me warmly.

Selina was standing next to him, but for some reason she couldn’t look at me and had her head down.

“hello. I am… !”

At the side, inspectors tried to introduce themselves to Count Warrug.

“I don’t need to introduce myself.”

He cut off their words and ate them. The inspectors turned pale at his cold demeanor and were speechless.

“Me, thank you before!”

Just then, Selina approached, bowed her head, and quickly left.

I turned to Count Warrug, asking what was going on, and he spoke of the state of enlightenment the other day.

It was only then that I understood why Selina was so shy.

“Then move slowly.”

Count Warrug said there was no time for this, and urged him to move quickly.

Hearing the count’s words, he closed his eyes tightly, saying that inspectors would come.

***

The road to the south was very difficult.

Until I went, I thought how rough the road was if it was rough.

No matter how rough it was, I thought it would be worse than the North.

But it wasn’t.

Literally, the road in the south was very rough.

Steep roads are standard, and the ground is so curved that it was difficult for a wagon to pass.

In some places, the bushes were so thick that it took several people to make a path.

“Is it like this?”

“It has to be like this. The place itself is so dangerous that no one travels it except for us, who move about once every three months. So there is no way And.”

He raised his hand and pointed forward.

“Sometimes the river rises like this and blocks the road.”

The place he pointed to was a wide river connected by a bridge.

However, the water had risen so much that the place where the bridge used to be was submerged in water, and not even a trace of the bridge was visible.

It also looked very deep.

If it was a knight with a strong body, there wouldn’t be much danger.

‘Luggage is the problem.’

As it was once every three months, the amount of supplies was enormous.

Just by looking at the number of escorting knights alone, you could tell how much they were.

“So there is nothing to say about the road here. We have to make it every time we go.”

The count looked around at all of them and said calmly.

“From now on, all but the few who will guard the supplies will cut down trees!”

“Wizards, weave together the trees cut down by the knights to make a bridge!”

“We need to make it strong! Not a single thing should be left out!”

The Count raised his voice using his aura and began to command.

Knights and wizards moved steadily according to his command.

“Is there anything I can do?”

“I am resting for now. Something will happen soon.”

The Count told me not to waste my energy on this.

It would have ended faster if we helped together, I wondered at his words.

aaagh!

It wasn’t long before I realized the meaning of the words.
