12 – Going out on a midwinter night (1)

It was already past midnight. A sleeping room for employees.

Six maids are huddled together in a space of about 10 pyeong. They were no exception to the effects of the untimely commotion.

Originally, the patrol team consisting of two people worked in shifts, so it was difficult to get together, but due to Siron’s unexpected behavior on the top floor of the mansion, the patrol team hurriedly returned to the night room.

Master Shiron destroyed the reliquary.

And then he went out of the mansion, carrying the holy relics with him.

Moreover, Lady Lucia also went out together.

However, even in a situation that to others might seem like an emergency, there was a group of people who didn’t care much, let alone panicked.

Encia, who had been patrolling the hallway a while ago, held out one hand to her colleague with a triumphant expression.

“Look! did i say that clearly? Hurry up and give me 100 shillings.”

“… … No, isn’t it different?”

“What is different? I clearly said that the young master gave the lady a shot before the succession ceremony. Now, quickly.”

The maid sitting on the bed and knitting wondered what kind of lightning it was.

A month ago, it became a source of trouble when a fellow maid, Encia, asked to make a bet. The black-haired maid sighed deeply and took out ten 10-shilling coins from her purse.

“Is this a one-shot… I’m sure the two of you were kicking each other and fighting.”

“I saw it clearly? As soon as the master laughed, the young lady got angry and even jumped outside in her pajamas. “If this isn’t a blow, what is?”

“Um… Is that so…?”

Encia smiled brightly and snatched the coins from the hands of her black-haired colleague. Ophelia, who was watching the two, just sighed.

“But… aren’t you two worried? “I’m leisurely betting…”

Ophelia, who was waiting for the next shift, couldn’t understand the two’s extremely casual attitudes.

What if something goes wrong with the people who will lead Prien in the future? Ophelia wiggled her fingers in worry.

“are you okay. Ophelia. I quickly reported this to Yuma when I arrived. But why? “Yuma already knows everything.”

Perhaps because she arrived in a hurry, Encia unbuttoned her chest and waved a hand fan.

“Besides, this hasn’t happened once or twice, right? “I’m worried that Ophelia isn’t used to this at all.”

“I see.”

A girl who looked like she had just woken up said while rubbing her eyes.

“I think something like this happened before… about 70 years ago…”

“ah! I remember! That orange-haired, green-eyed guy. “You mean the one who strangled his younger brother?”

“that’s right. He was a weak guy. He cried so loudly after killing himself. “It was so absurd.”

The short-haired black-haired maid giggled as if recalling a fun memory.

“But, isn’t it a bit wrong to compare Master Siron to that trash? You may be a bit mischievous, but you’ve already shown enough ability. The young lady… well, her mouth hurts, so to speak.”

“is it? If you look closely, this has happened several times in the past. “When I think about it, it’s really not that big of a deal…”

“Well, even if something goes wrong, the head of the family will come from another branch.”

“… … “Aren’t you guys too heartless?”

Ophelia thought her colleagues were too cold. In response to her roommate’s incomprehensible attitude, Encia sat down next to Ofelia.

“Ophelia is so soft-hearted.”

“is it?”

Ophelia bowed her head and wiggled her hands. Encia put her shoulder on her reaction and said.

“Anyway, soon the winter will be over and the succession ceremony will be held. If the young master is a worthy successor to Prien, then it wouldn’t be strange to have at least one ability like the head of the household. So I guess there is no need to worry too much.”

house owner. Father of Chiron and Lucia. Hearing that word, Ophelia fumbled for something that vaguely came to mind.

“My lord… that trash…”

“No, trash is that gnarly bald head. This generation’s head of household is definitely a person with outstanding abilities. In the first place, it’s strange that garbage is in the position of head of household even though it doesn’t have any ability.”

“Oh right. It was.”

Ofelia laughed at Encia’s point.

‘Ophelia too, I wonder who is calling someone cold…’

Encia felt a ray of cold sweat running down her back.

trash. Ophelia, who usually can’t say anything harsh, said it was trash. Encia knew well that that word referred to those who did not possess qualifications.

It was easy to go outside the Dawn Castle.

There is no need to open the tightly closed castle gate. All you have to do is climb up by stepping on the window sill that was previously embedded in the castle wall.

“Oh no.”

The boy landed on the snow field with light movements. I guess my training paid off, and although it was quite a height, I was able to come down without much of a burden.

Siron walked on the snow with light movements. I also didn’t forget to check who was following behind me.

“It looks good.”

Siron chanted while looking at the Milky Way in the sky. A village in the middle of a village with no light source nearby.

Before I was possessed, my sense of adventure arose as I saw scenery that was definitely hard to see in Korea.

Is it because it’s early morning? As I was getting emotional, I couldn’t help but hum, thinking that it was a good thing.

Humming a song, Siron thought about the direction to take. In this area, where compasses did not work, one had to look to the stars to find direction.

‘Outskirts of Dawn Castle, about 30 minutes southeast.’

Siron looked at the sky and recalled the elements of the game.

Dawning Castle is an upper stage that only appears in the latter half of Reincarnation Sword God.

The HP gauge above the users’ heads appears after the death of Siron Prien, the fake boss who held the title of small family head.

The dungeon that defeated them was Dawn Castle.

‘The difficulty level was really damn good, I guess…’

As the title of the upper stage was not lacking, high proficiency and abilities were required not only to reach it but also to clear it. He was confident that he was good at the game, but he only had more than double digits of retries there.

Nevertheless, Siron chose to travel at night.

No matter how good the abilities of a ten-year-old child are. Even Lucia, the main character of Reincarnated Swordsman, was a child who had just had her coming-of-age ceremony when the tutorial was just finished.

Even she, whose abilities were far superior to the current Siron’s, could not defeat a single maid of the Castle of Dawn, but the outside of the castle walls was an exception.

The maids of the Dawn Castle are strong, but the magical beasts in the forest surrounding the Dawn Castle are not strong…

Crrr-

Is it because I was humming?

I heard someone approaching from beyond the darkness.

‘It just so happened.’

When the first real sacrifice appeared, Siron smiled with his fighting spirit burning.

“Now, it is time for slaughter.”

“What… why make a fuss over a frost wolf that barely broke away from the pack?”

“… … .”

A comment was heard from behind that was absurd, but Siron ignored it.

Now is the time to focus on the enemy in front of you.

Siron lowered his posture and took out his sword from its scabbard.

As the frost rose between the trees and bushes, the flashing eyes met Siron.

This is my first real experience. Hoping that his efforts so far would not be in vain, Siron waited for the enemy to come first.

Seeing Siron in a battle stance, the wolf rushed forward.

Heung-

The wolf’s maw opened towards Siron’s face. But it was obvious. Attacks coming in a straight line were very easy to avoid.

He quickly bent his legs and drew the blade upward. Sigh! The blade’s arc traces the air. Siron’s sword cuts through the belly skin. The wolf suddenly floated in the air and screamed, spraying blood.

thud-

The demonic beast that urged its command was thrown into the tree on the other side by inertia. The fallen wolf let out a sharp breath without any intention of getting up.

“after.”

Siron approached the wolf with an expression of dissatisfaction.

‘I aimed for a vital spot and didn’t die with a single blow. ‘I’m so f*cking weak.’

Siron raised his sword and slashed at the wolf’s eyes.

Pakak-

The sensation of crushing eyeballs and skulls was transmitted through the handle to my fingertips. The wolf trembled, stiffened, and then died.

“Did you go through all that trouble just to do this?”

The evaluation that made me very upset was the voice of Lucia, who had been paying close attention to Siron’s battle.

Wearing slippers and a nightgown, she massaged her cold forearms and glared at Siron.

“Are you cold?”

Siron sneered, ignoring Lucia’s scolding. Lucia looked at that theory disapprovingly.

“okay. “Thanks to someone, I got to go out into the winter forest in my pajamas without a coat, so it’s cold.”

“If you had trained the way I taught you, you wouldn’t have been cold, right?”

Siron took off the coat he was wearing and held it out to Lucia. Lucia just stared at the theory.

“… … .”

“What are you doing? Hurry up and don’t take it. “My arm is going to fall off.”

“Are you really not cold?”

“That’s right. “When did I lie to you?”

“… … .”

Lucia quietly accepted Siron’s favor. When I thought about it, it was just as Siron said. He never once lied to Lucia.

‘That strange training method was true.’

Lucia silently looked at the back of Siron, who was leading the way.

A tunic. A pair of leather pants. Although he only had one overshoe on, the boy didn’t shiver at all, as if he were taking a walk in spring.
