I was excommunicated from the Holy Knights

46 – Will you be a wizard? 2

About a week had passed since I became the son of Thurn, lord of Bohemia.

In the meantime, as the son of a grown-up lord, I was engrossed in so-called ‘information gathering’ to fill the gap of 11 years.

The main figures in the lord’s castle, the relationship between the surrounding nobles, and even the current internal situation of Bohemia.

Fortunately, for me, the 11 years of running away from the age of 13, ‘I have almost no memories of this side’. It was a great shield.

Thanks to that, not only Thurn, but also most other people tended to be tolerant of me, who was awkward as a noble and a family member.

Receiving the power of these ‘buffs’, I was able to quickly consolidate my position as Santana, the son of Thurn, while absorbing the information around me surprisingly easily.

And in the process, I’m clear once again

I felt once again that the situation I was in was really bad.

‘As expected… there are a lot of troublesome parts like this…’

Bohemia is currently on the verge of a war with Emperor Sisyphus of the Holy Empire.

The total number of available troops was about 13,000, to which 7,000 troops of Elector Frederick, who were now coming from the Palatinate, were to be added.

On the other hand, according to the original work, the army of the emperor who invaded here this time was about 25,000.

At first glance, there doesn’t seem to be that much of a difference, but this is simply the amount of power that can be gathered in a hurry, and a little more time is given, but there is still a lot of power to be released after this.

and

Even this was actually a situation where there was a large power difference beyond what was seen in numbers.

‘There are as many as 2,000 wizards in the Emperor’s army, whereas our wizards are only less than 1,000 in total… This is a huge difference beyond face value.’

In this world, wizards were beings who, in modern terms, could generate more power than tanks.

Although each person has individual differences, it is generally believed that one wizard can deal with 100 foot soldiers, and the archmage class, which has particularly strong power, can really demonstrate the power of a single corps.

In that respect, the inferiority of the mages meant that there was a huge gap between the emperor’s army and our Bohemia army, more than just a difference in numbers.

‘By the way, Bohemia’s wizards are average, but… a head-to-head confrontation is absolutely impossible with this power. And considering the trolls that will appear sooner or later, the situation will only get worse.”

In addition to the simple military inferiority, considering various problems that are not yet clearly revealed but will arise sooner or later, the odds of this side are further reduced, and as a result, Bohemia in the original work is defeated in the war and thoroughly trampled.

‘A war with a remarkably low odds… Of course, a quick escape is the answer in this situation, but that’s impossible now. Then, all that remains is to somehow overcome this gap and bring victory…’

There were a lot of incidents after that, but you have to endure somehow from the first wave in order to have a future in this life.

In addition, in order to protect not only me, but also Cazeros and Polena, this war must be won.

That’s how I was thinking about how to bring about victory in the current situation.

“Um…um…”

“!.. Ah.. Father.”

At some point, my father, Earl of Tourn, came by my side.

Feeling a bit surprised at this, I immediately got up from my seat and said hello, but the Count lightly waved his hand as he saw me.

“It’s okay, sit down. It looks like he was thinking about something important, but he seems to have interrupted him unintentionally.”

“No… it’s okay. I’m sorry for not realizing it beforehand. But why did you come without a message?”

If you look at it simply, you could say that the father came to see his son, but everyone knows that the current situation is not that comfortable.

Now that war was right around the corner, Count Thurne, the lord and de facto military commander, had a mountain of work to do, and his coming to see me in person under these circumstances meant that there was something important going on.

“Yeah.. actually.. I came because I have something I want to propose to you.”

“What is it?”

Count Thurn speaks with some caution.

Regarding this, I felt that a simple story would not come out from the background and atmosphere.

It hit almost exactly.

“First of all, this… may be just greed as a father, but I still want to ask you once again.”

With those words, Count Thurne once again showed signs of hesitation.

And then, as if he had finally made up his mind, he asked me in a cautious voice.

“Santana…wouldn’t you like to walk the path of a wizard in earnest again?”

“yes?..”

I was a little surprised by the unexpected story.

In response to this, Count Turnen started pouring out words as if he were making excuses in a voice that was slightly overly tense.

“Ah..no.. I don’t necessarily force it.. But, in the current situation, I don’t think learning magic is that bad.

“great.”

“… huh?”

“I will. I don’t know if it will turn out well, but I will follow my father’s will and walk the path of a wizard.”

“Is that… is that… really? You really…really want to become a wizard?”

“Yes, if that is your will… I will gladly do so.”

“Thank you.. really.. thank you very much my son.”

My words with firmness.

In response, Count Turnen grabbed my hand and began to express his feelings of deep joy.

And, seeing my father’s reaction, I felt a bit strange, and at the same time, deep down, I began to feel joy at the ‘opportunity’ that came in this way.

‘Wizard? Of course this is OK. How many times have I been disappointed because of this useless aura?

Although it was an invitation that came out in an unexpected way, it was a little questionable that my father was cautious about it, and that he expressed his vehement joy.

However, apart from that, since I came to this world, I have been greedy for the power of magic and magic, so I have no reason to oppose it.

So, I gladly accepted my father’s request to become a wizard, and then, looking at me, my father said with a much calmer expression, as if the burden he had been carrying had been relieved.

“Okay, since we’ve already decided, let’s start as soon as possible. It’s because there’s also a great magic teacher full of passion.”

“Yes, thank you, Father.”

Somehow, I felt that the explanation of the magic teacher was grandiose, but I politely accepted it without paying much attention to it.

Count Tourne left the room after finishing his conversation with his son.

At this moment… he was feeling as if he was flying in the sky, freed from all the worries he had for a while.

‘My son… My son finally returned his heart.. Finally, he decided to become a wizard according to my will!’

Bohemia…Moreover, the sorceress Thurn, who has one of the most powerful powers in the Holy Empire.

Accordingly, he naturally had the expectation that his children, who inherited his blood, would also grow up to be great wizards.

In fact, all of his daughters have grown up to be great wizards that are second to none, which gives Count Thurne great satisfaction.

But… his son was different.

A son who showed an interest in the Bible and religion from an early age.

At first, it was not considered bad in the sense of simply cultivating faith, but as time passed, the son’s obsession with religion grew to an excessive extent.

And in the process, Santana had a negative view of the existence of a wizard, which was allowed for practical reasons, but prohibited in principle by the church, and eventually ran away after a quarrel with the count related to him. .

He left behind the words that he would live in the church as a paladin from now on.

Having gone through such a past, Count Thurne has always blamed himself for overly forcing his son, and he had no choice but to show a very careful attitude in recommending the path of a wizard to his son who had returned this time.

If you haven’t heard that your son was excommunicated as a paladin…

After going through a series of situations, I did not conclude that I would have been very disappointed with the church, but an invitation that I would not have even tried.

However, his concern was put to shame, and his son was so easily…

He accepted the invitation, which had troubled him throughout his life, as if it were natural.

With the words that I will follow my father’s will.

This thrilling fact made Count Turnen enjoy great happiness once again, and at the same time, he began to feel the love and trust for his son, who was said to have grown up, and his expectations even more swell.

In addition, it was a bonus to feel gratitude to the ‘magic teacher’ who passionately suggested this work.
