The Marquis Is a Master of Martial Arts

Rather than thinking of the soldiers, he acted in anger himself, but knowing that all the locals liked it, he naturally smiled.

After meditating for a while and calming my mind, I opened the bottle and passed the poison down my throat at once.

[You have ingested poison (sturgeon flower).]

[Mandokja telegraph machine absorbs poison (Sturgeon mushroom flower).]

[The performance of Mandokja Telegraph has risen.]

[The Haegon Death Spear is opened.]

[The characteristic White Poison Acupuncture (百毒不侵) removes the pain and symptoms of poison (sturgeon flower).]

I bit my teeth to endure the symptoms of the neurotoxin, but thanks to the white venom, I couldn’t feel anything. The stomach was just a little hot.

Immediately, the Mandokja exhibition machine was operated. There was no pain at all, so all poisons were turned into internal energy in a short time without wasting concentration.

“It’s a white poison saliva.”

Until now, poison always came with terrible pain, and even after absorbing it, I had a headache, but today it ended very refreshingly.

Shall we take a look at the newly opened dock?

[Sea Dragon Spear] (Nerve)

It means a spear that kills Gon, a legendary spirit creature that lives in the sea. The more you inject, the more you feel pain and die in an instant.

This poison is the perfect poison for assassination, as you can control the amount and decide whether to kill slowly or instantly. As I read, I was appalled at my abilities.

“Huh? Wait a minute. This isn’t it.”

A strange thing happened. I ate an armored mushroom flower to open the lower level of poison than Hagon’s Spear, but I skipped the level and suddenly the intermediate level of poison above it was opened.

“It’s not a bad thing… but why?”

The only reason to think about it was that Mandokja Telegraph had reached the intermediate level.

If you have learned the middle level poison by going up to the intermediate level, it will be easier to open the upper poison as the achievement of the inner core law goes up.

then…

“It’s Peru.”

“yes!”

Peru, who was outside, came right inside.

“Open your pockets.”

“yes?”

Peru opened her magic bag without saying anything.

“Eh? Why are you like this!”

Gold coins poured into Peru’s pockets.

“Get poison with this.”

“Again? And so many?”

“okay.”

What remains is money anyway, and absorbing poison is no different from drinking water.

Before going out, I’ll try to get 5 stars in Mandokja Telegraph by sucking up money.

**

“ha…”

“The Archduke.”

It took a long time to get the poison, so I couldn’t achieve 5 stars in the end. I sighed in regret, but Peru was calling from the side.

“why?

“Aren’t we too shabby?”

I looked around both sides of the Peruvian horse. To my left and right, glittering silver armor was waving. They are the knights brought by Colin and Raon.

Colin, Raon, and I were gathered at the first gymnasium for the ceremony.

“They’re so different. Will we be okay?”

Among Colin and Raon’s knights, there were even wizards and veteran mercenaries mixed in. But I had only Peru beside me and Arin and Cryde standing behind me.

Even if they didn’t want to compare, they had no choice but to be compared.

“Why did the knights refuse to come…”

Peru said that I became popular, and if it was true, there were quite a few knights and mercenaries who offered to help me, but I refused.

I decided how to fight, so I didn’t really need anyone else.

“older brother!”

I met eyes with Raon on the right. Even though there were a lot of people, he smiled and nodded his head.

“Put.”

This time I saw Colin on the left. He looked at me and my men, and a twisted smile appeared on his lips.

“That child was less hit.”

I slipped quietly to the side and stood behind Colin.

f*ck!

“Kuk! What kind of bastard!”

He slapped the back of Colin’s head with the palm of his hand.

“It’s me. You bastard!”

“profit!”

Colin looked at me and bit his teeth.

“You have to tell me that.”

“What do you mean?”

“I can’t do it. Let’s go on a campaign and thresh again. This time, don’t look at me for crying.”

“Eww… great… older brother.”

“You weak brother. Don’t whine about being hit by a fish.”

“Ugh…”

I wanted to tease him more, but he saw the Marquis coming and returned to his place.

“I won’t talk too long.”

The Marquis opened his mouth as soon as he got on the podium. His low voice echoed throughout the gymnasium.

“I will be in the most dangerous place, and I will be in the front. I will be with you wherever you are. Let’s fight to protect our land with me!”

“Whoaaa!”

“Yayaya!”

“The Marquis of Willington. Long live!”

“Long live the Rocks!”

At the words of the Marquis, the soldiers raised their voices and shouted.

“It’s not fight, let’s fight… It’s okay.”

It was a short but passionate speech that said, “I will take the lead, so trust me and follow me.”

“Princess. It’s our turn to depart.”

“okay.”

Hearing the Marquis’ speech, he moved towards the designated place. Since the soldiers were divided equally among the three successor candidates, they led the assigned soldiers to their destination.

Two days after departure, I was able to arrive at the defensive terrain designated for me.

The place I had to defend was the fortress wall built in front of the beach. Looking down, I saw several volaks roaming around.

“Wouldn’t it be easy to defend just by shooting arrows here?”

“It’s not that easy. Grand Duke.”

Hans, the manager of the wall, answered.

“In a few days, the entire sea will be filled with vollacs. When they rush in, even the walls and gates will break down. It will not be an easy fight.”

“okay?”

“Yes. So speaking of that, Archduke… More support is coming, right?”

Hans was looking at me with eager eyes.

“support?”

“Because Volaks have shields, even if they shoot arrows, they dig right in front of the door. To prevent the walls and doors from being destroyed, you have to go out and deal with the monsters, but if there are only 5 knights, you can never stop them.”

“It’s not 5 people. This person is not a knight, but the butler of the Marquis who came to watch over me, and this is my butler.”

“So, then there are only three knights?”

Hans looked at me with an astonished expression.

“There are 3 knights and they sleep, and they will fight alone, so don’t worry.”

“Me? Am I alone?”

Cryde, who had been looking down, was startled and ran in front of me.

“Uh, you alone.”

“What are you talking about! How can I…”

He smiled and tapped Cryde’s armor.

“You have latent abilities. I will bring them out.”

The time has come to wake up the monster slayer, Berserker.

Berserker

“Do you think I have latent abilities?”

“Because it is.”

“Ummm…”

He looked at Cryde with a confident face. As I continued to show my confidence, Cryde seemed to have a little more confidence.

“Arin, Cryde.”

“yes.”

“Try sparring the two of you.”

Arin’s expression didn’t change, and Clyde and Hans looked at me with puzzled eyes.

“Suddenly? I have to fight monsters in a little while?”

“Yes. Hans, bring me two training swords.”

“Yes? Ah, yes…”

While Hans went to get the training sword, he went next to Arin.

“scale.”

“yes.”

“Analyze and figure out Cryde’s sword path as much as possible. And if you think it’s done, finish it at once.”

“All right.”

Maybe because Arin feels trust in me, he didn’t react much to my words from earlier. I felt like I was going to complete whatever I was asked to do.

After Hans brought the training sword, the sparring between Arin and Cryde began.

“Honestly, I wanted to stick with you once… Then I’ll go.”

“Please.”

From noble mtl dot com

Cryde rushes at Arin first. Contrary to what he didn’t want to do, he seemed happy when he started sparring.

Whoa!

right!

Arin slightly twisted his sword and let go of the side slash that contained Creed’s supernatural power.

right!

right!

right!

The sparring was a repetition of Cryde attacking and Arin evading and defending. However, as the sparring progressed, the sound of the swords clashing gradually diminished.

After 5 minutes of sparring, Creed’s sword couldn’t even brush Arin.

“Myeonggyeongjisu…”

I got goosebumps when I saw Arin’s Myungyeong Index, which had risen in level while I was invisible. Within five minutes, she had mastered Clyde’s sword path perfectly.

Arin’s main weapon is speed, and Cryde’s strength is his main weapon. Even if you just fight, Arin has an advantage in terms of compatibility, but since he even has the Myeonggyeongjisu, it has become a battle between a child and an adult.

Shuuk!

“Kuk!”

After 10 minutes, Arin quickly subdued Cryde as if he had waited.

“I lost.”

“Thank you for your effort.”

Unlike Cryde, who was exhausted, Arin didn’t even breathe.

“Oh yeah, you’re really strong.”

“no.”

Cryde drooped his shoulders.

“Haa… Look at this. I couldn’t even brush him right. But I have some latent powers.”

“I told you. It’s latent. Will it come out easily?”

comforted him lightly.

After that, Arin and Cryde faced off every day for three days without monsters appearing.

Contrary to Arin testing things on Cryde, Cryde lost his confidence as he was helplessly defeated.

**

“Whoa…”

I felt someone rushing into my room, so I opened my eyes while using the inner core method.

“The Archduke!”

It was Hans’ voice.

“why?”

“Monsters are starting to appear.”

After I packed my gear, I went out immediately.

“Um, are we really not coming?”

“Yes, I’m not coming. Don’t expect it, let’s do well with the people who are there.”

He ran quickly and climbed onto the top of the wall. Looking down, there were sharp things protruding from the water. It was the dorsal fin of monsters including Volak.

“Hmm, not as many as I thought?”

“No. This is the start. They will keep coming for several days. You must not be vigilant.”

“So. Thankfully.”

“yes?”

I looked around and found the main character of the day. He was leaning against the wall, looking helplessly down.

“Cryde.”

“Yes. Grand Duke.”

“Prepare.”

“Can I do it? I kept losing to Arin-nim.”

Cryde was in a state of despair because the more he sparred, the more he couldn’t even touch the hem of Arin’s clothes.

“Trust me. You have special abilities.”

“All right.”

“Go downstairs and when the smoke appears in front of you, don’t reject it and leave it as it is.”

“Acting?”

“Yeah. Take my word for it, don’t deny acting. Just get into acting.”

“yes.”

Cryde did not hesitate to go outside the gate and stand in front of the monsters.

“Should I shoot an arrow?”

“no.”

“but…”

“wait.”

Hans and the soldiers looked at Cryde with worried eyes, but he didn’t need to worry.

“Kieek!”

“Kaaak!”

“Kreurreuk!”

Volaks were coming up on land. At the same time, I opened the poison I had prepared.

Hwaaak!
