episode 744: great operation before the elf village (1)
returning to billo village after stopping at the blacksmith’s shop, ray took a wagon and passed the familiar road.
it’s been quite a while since i came here.
by the time you start to see the house in the distance.
a large man blocked the carriage’s path.
“what business is it?”
a huge bastard sword hanging from his back.
even though he was just talking with his arms crossed, an atmosphere that could not be ignored flowed out.
seeing a familiar face, ray got off the carriage.
“what if the sandal dog doesn’t recognize its owner?”
as i spoke with a smirk, sandal, a man blocking the carriage, was delighted.
“you are back!”
“huh. were you taking good care of the house while i was gone?”
“yes. there was a group of poor quality adventurers nearby, but they have been sorted out recently.”
it took a lot of courage to stand up against an adventurer party without backing down.
if that’s the case, it’s obvious that they’re adventurers who have committed crimes if they’ve had to retreat to a town like this.
zeke got off the driver’s seat and said hello.
“a long time.”
“nice to meet you.”
sandal set an example for him as well.
to be honest, the relationship between the two was not very good.
one had a history of being seriously injured while defending the duchy, and the other had invaded the duchy once.
zeke quietly let go of his momentum.
“i heard you learned a little bit about the sword.”
“the teacher’s teachings were just good.”
“hoo. these days, the village seems to be teaching children tricks as well.”
at those words, the air around him became slightly heavy.
hongyoung, who got off the carriage belatedly, touched his forehead.
“...the one who taught zeke sandal the sword was master’s father.”
“...”
“i’m sorry, but i’m a little stupid zeke.”
when cheongyoung spoke, cassius helped.
“you’re ugly.”
zeke gently closed his eyes and then took out his sword as if he had made up his mind.
“i have committed a mortal sin. thank you so much, lord.”
he swung his sword as hard as he could and tried to cut his throat, but the sudden action shocked the receptionist and even ray.
“shield!”
kaaaang-!
damn-!
the power of the single sword was so great that a crack formed in the hemispherical membrane.
i only found out after blocking it.
this madman swung his sword with the intention of killing himself.
without even a moment to calm the pounding heart as if it had an arrhythmia.
zeke planted his sword on the ground and fell to his knees.
“i have no face to see my lord and his family! kill me!”
confessing sins is good, but the process is extremely gory.
if the reaction was really delayed even for an instant, zeke would die on the spot.
ray rolled up the sleeves of his robe.
“yes, i will kill you as you wish!”
a body that has been hardened enough to be comparable to that of a master is a weapon just by swinging it.nôv(el)b\\jnn
with plenty of mana in it, he hit all over zeke’s body, and in an instant, a song flowed out.
“aagh! please save me, lord! i will die like this!”
“just search!”
only zeke’s scream echoed loudly from the mountain behind billo village.
* * *
as the beating continued for thirty minutes, even zeke, who was out of the human category, could not stand it and became a super-corpse.
wiggle-!
poo-!
the flinching corpse took a few more blows before it soon sagged.
“if my brother used his hands, there would be no need to wish for a good place.”
lacia tossed the pebbles away from the bush and turned around shaking her hands.

returning home after a long absence, ray said goodbye to his parents.
unlike ail, who couldn’t suppress his drool while watching his son grow stronger as the years passed, sein put his hand on his cheek with a happy face.
“ho-ho-ho. food must be scarce.”
sain, who was about to prepare a meal just in time, began to take out various ingredients with quick steps.
lay, who smiled at her parents who had not changed from before, held out the items she had brought.
“what is this?”
two elongated objects covered in luxurious fabric.
ray grinned.
“it is a gift. please open it.”
“i am i’m coming home, what kind of gift is that? i have to get something.”
contrary to what he said, the action of opening the package was quick.
when i opened the wrapped cloth, what i saw was a sword and a staff.
a sword that is splendid enough to be similar to a noble phantasm of a kingdom, yet has the characteristics of its maker.
the wand is made of wood, but it wasn’t ale that you wouldn’t recognize it as blackwood.
when black wood, which is said to be the best material for a staff, made up not only the handle but the entire staff, my mouth naturally opened.
“do you think the money is rotten and overflowing?”
“i’m going to give it to my family as a present, but you shouldn’t save it.”
“you speak well. what is this magic stone again?”
ale pointed to the large dark red magic stone embedded in the head of the staff.
“i tried inserting the one i got when i was in the demon realm. performance probably won’t be bad.”
if it’s a magic stone obtained from the magic realm, it’s something that hasn’t been revealed yet.
i was already looking forward to how it would perform and how different it would be from normal magic stones.
“with this amount of money, opening a big shop in the capital wouldn’t be a big deal. why don’t you buy the mansion as a gift?”
“i’m a bit versatile.”
“it is not a compliment. now that your children are grown up, you are receiving all sorts of gifts.”
half joy, half bewilderment.
ray quietly whispered to ale.
“maybe you can beat lacia with this.”
“....”
“if you don’t want to receive it, i’ll take it back.”
as i brought my hand to the table to collect the present, ale blocked me.
“who said no? i just thought about it because it was too expensive. yes, when my son is grown up, he can receive a rather expensive present.”
“sure.”
“if you really have this...”
ray shook his head as he gulped down ale.
“there is a possibility.”
there is quite a lot of mana contained in the magic stone.
it would not be easy to defeat lacia in terms of pure mana, but since she had much more experience than ale, defeating lacia would not be too much if done well.
ale grinned.
“finally, i can save face in front of three people.”
“i hope it goes well.”
“okay.”
looking at ale, who was excited like a child, ray thought to himself.
if you lose to lacia anyway, you’ll laugh and say ‘you’re not making sense’, and if you win on the contrary, ‘are you happy that you won ale?’ and will be scolded.
of course, ale knew that too, but it would be a matter of pride for him to lose himself to his children in front of his wife.
the receptionist, who watched the conversation between the two rich people from the back, felt fresh at ray’s different appearance.
“your lord is kind to your family.”
“huh. that’s a good thing.”
“he has a personality that elves would like.”
they watched the two of them with a gentle smile on their lips.
at some point, zeke’s existence was completely forgotten from their memories.
