chapter 3
3. Appointment of professors (3)
[Wild Pocketmon sponsored 100 gold.]
‘Who, sponsorship?’
I looked here and there, and the word “Honwon” was engraved on it.
‘Is this a sponsorship?’
For a moment, tears almost fell, but they didn’t actually flow.
That’s how thrilling it is.
It’s been two years since I started writing and serializing.
Finally, it was the first time I received support.
I’m overwhelmed, and I want to give a big bow to Wild Pocketmon, but the problem is-
‘Why now!’
The timing isn’t very good.
If you had received this message from outside, you would have captured this note and set it as your desktop wallpaper and looked at it every day, but in this case, it is just a picture cake, nothing more than an unfamiliar feeling.
[I received my first sponsorship.]
[Gold Shop is open!]
[You can trade with sponsored gold.]
… … would say
Yes, as the number of favorite works becomes my lifeline, and my actions become a novel, the gold I received as a sponsor is not going to be useless.
It’s a cash shop.
Isn’t it a system that seems to have been arranged for me!
Lucas, you seem to have a conscience.
He was happy and hurriedly called the gold shop.
Just thinking about it in my mind, a translucent window appeared in front of my eyes.
Is it really like a cash shop?
-Moonlight Inspection 1,000,000G
-Baekbosu ticket (sale!) 820,000G
.
.
.
The user bashing is so great that it is said to go 3N away.
All I have is 100G. However, the average price of a gold shop is far above that of a staggering level.
‘Damn it, are you playing with it!! What happened is that you can’t buy anything with 100 gold… … ..’
[Price setting, search under 100G.]
‘… … There is.’
There was only one.
-Language Mastery (Open Limited Special!) 100G
only one.
Fortunately, it is the thing that I need the most more than anything else.
‘live! Live, live!’
[Language Mastery has been purchased.]
The Language Mastery displayed in the Gold Shop turned into a halo and began to enter my mind.
I don’t think anything has changed emotionally.
“Well… … .”
As I glanced around, the book I was reading caught my eye.
<Mana and Existence> – Heinz.
“Five… … .”
It works.
The title, which was just a little picture, can be read clearly.
“Is there anything you are looking for, Master?”
Not only that, but the words of the servants, which he could not understand at all, began to be heard vividly.
“… … I am thirsty.”
Words come out right
Long live the Gold Shop!
Long live Wild Pocketmon!
One less worry, and the appetite suddenly swells.
… … However, I couldn’t eat it all of a sudden, so I cut it into small pieces and savored it little by little.
‘tasty!’
A meal that was like chewing sand feels like heaven. Originally, this was probably my taste.
As my stomach begins to fill with delicious meals, hope is welling up.
* * *
… … is a horn.
I thought I had finished one, and a new crisis loomed in front of me.
“Your Majesty… … I’ll see you.”
“Yes, I have come to meet you in person, Sir Krauss.”
the king’s call.
I’d like to say something special, but this is a big deal.
summoning order.
The fact that Lucas got the title in the first place was given to him by King Aeroque, who knew Lucas was strong. Now is the time to pay for it.
Lucas receives what he received, and I have to deal with it.
I can’t be so sad!
Besides, there is a huge problem.
According to my setup, Lucas is thrown into the middle of the battlefield before taking office as a professor.
With great luck, he survives alone, and then becomes a professor at Grasco-
‘I never described the process in detail.’
I only mentioned it briefly to show the side of the comedian Lucas, where bad luck and good luck coexist, but it did not describe how Lucas survives and avoids a crisis. In addition, at the time, readers were not interested in Lucas, so I did not devote much depth to the story. Just say, ‘You’re lucky.’ In a word, this summed it up.
But now, ‘You’re lucky’ is not the case.
It sounds like you have to hit it directly.
‘Never hate it!’
You can’t run away from here either.
If I ate something, I ate it quickly, and a terrible chase would follow.
[Number of Favorites: 2]
The thing that worries me the most is that. favorite work.
Avoiding such an event may cause the barely placed 2 to change to 0. Some readers in the world say, ‘Oh, I’ll just skip this crisis!’ Do you like talking like this?
A novel is a sequence of events. A novel without events is dead. But, if this novel dies, I will die too, isn’t it a big problem?
‘First of all, it is said that the king has to wait for the table… … .’
It’s dark.
But he didn’t show any expression at all and nodded his head.
“Branch.”
* * *
The royal capital of Aerokh, Euged.
It is the most prosperous kingdom in my novel.
And it is also the first place to collapse, starting with Grasco.
As I was looking at the scenery bitterly, the servant spoke to me.
“This is the entrance to the royal castle. Inside the royal castle, only those who are permitted to wear weapons are not allowed, so please take them off. If it is detected by the barrier, the Knights of the Black Lion will be dispatched, so please be careful not to miss it.”
It means that if there is something like memorization that you have contemplated, you should put it out on your own.
There could be no such thing as a weapon.
I’ve never even held a cleaver properly. I don’t know if it’s a fork or knife again.
“Looks like you don’t. good.”
The carriage passed through the gates very slowly.
When the servant, who was carefully looking at me, passed completely, I got a suspicious look.
“If you are offended, please understand. It is a great risk to have a strong man like Sir Krauss in the royal palace.”
I’m not that dangerous.
Well, if I opened my mouth for nothing, there was nothing good for me, so I closed my mouth and just looked ahead. To be precise, he fixed his gaze on the number 2, which was kept in danger.
Even after passing through the gates, it took a long time to reach the castle.
As it is the most prosperous place in the world, the royal castle is also uselessly spacious.
It was only after passing through several layers of security to the audience room where the king was waiting, he could barely reach the door.
“Your Majesty, Count Lucas von Krauss has arrived.”
“Listen to me.”
As the king’s license fell, a magic circle appeared from the door, and several layers of magic were lifted.
“… … Three or four?”
Oops, an unconscious murmur came out of the magic circle’s dazzle.
I will be more careful when I live here in the future. Avoid opening your mouth as much as possible.
* * *
“… … Three or four?”
Romero, who brought Lucas all the way here, had a cool chatter throughout his time with him, but this time it was even more surprising.
‘No, how?’
The barrier installed on the door of the audience room is a key security device installed in the castle by the absolute ruler, Archmage Cayenne, several centuries ago, and only the king knows about it. However, Lucas was able to pinpoint it with just a glance.
Not only that.
Did you not see the presence of the Amjung escort who had been hiding the whole time you came here, and had a snowball fight with him?
Although it is a single title, it is an existence that won the title of count by force. It is certain that he is a character that will be used greatly in Aeroque.
However, with such a strong man, he had no choice but to be even more nervous.
Because a strong person like Lucas can do harm to the king even without weapons if he puts his mind to it.
Romero kept his tension and led Lucas to the king’s front.
* * *
– Count Krauss. Thank you for being so willing to answer this sudden call.
A heavy bass resounded from behind the huge veil.
‘yes?’
He lifted his head at the momentary sense of disparity and looked beyond the veil.
The appearance of a monarch of the Han Dynasty and the presence that can be felt beyond the veil.
The presence in front of him was so strong that the hairs all over his body stood up.
But-
“It is your majesty. Have an example.”
The servant who brought me urged me.
He had a stern expression on his face and scolded me.
I never understood this situation.
‘The King Aerokh in my novel… … .’
I looked straight at the servant.
“Sir Krauss!”
The look on his face was astonishing.
Seeing that expression, I felt like I was about to burst into laughter. The warts on my earlobe made it even more unbearable.
I had to hide my face. He quickly bowed his head.
“Forgive my rudeness, my lord. God, Lucas von Kraus. I see the sun of Aerokk.”
“… … .”
“… … .”
There was silence before.
It wasn’t the king beyond the veil who showed my respect, but the servant who brought me here.
“No, Sir Krauss… … .”
Embarrassment crept out of his mouth.
“I knew it too.”
a reasonable thing to say.
The King of Aerokk, whom I have described, is a man of dwarf in appearance and characterized by warts in his ears.
‘But I didn’t write a separate setting for using ‘shadow’.’
In fact, the royal family of Aerokk was not described in detail, so this is within the acceptable range.
If I hadn’t been a writer, I would never have noticed.
“How did know? I thought you didn’t notice it at the last conferment ceremony.”
look at this
Originally, Lucas didn’t know.
“… … I knew.”
“Hey, did you notice then? Right. It was because of the eyes of other nobles that they cared about me, yes. Kyung-eun’s strength is the same, but he’s also quite smart. Heh heh heh!”
The king of Aerokk laughed with satisfaction.
“I’m sorry I deceived you. Apologize if you feel bad. Since he ascended the throne at a young age and has been threatened with his life for the rest of his life, he cannot trust people easily. That is why no one knows that the person sitting over there is my shadow. I’ve been switching since I was very young, and no one noticed. Except for you.”
He slowly walked up to the front of the veil and removed it.
‘Shadow’, who was originally sitting, set the best example for him and stepped back. And naturally he sat down on the empty throne.
“I am Romero van Aerokh, the king of this Aerokh.”
He had a faint presence so far, but as soon as he sat on the throne, he exuded the atmosphere of a king. It was as natural as an unfinished painting. The appearance is dwarf, but even that is a gimmick to deceive people. He was- a natural monarch.
“Well, I don’t think I have anything to say back to the lord who even noticed my shadow. I’ll tell you right from the start. Let me go to Igner.”
Fuck.
The swearing was about to come out, and it went in.
Again, this call was for conscription.
Speaking of Igner, the front line is currently in the darkest situation.
In a word, the dead.
never go
Originally, Lucas might have survived, but not me.
In order to survive, he began to roll the duckbill.
I don’t want to die. So I never go to Igner. But that is the absolute royal name. And I am the noble of Aerokk. Refusal of the king’s name could lead to death. It’s common in this worldview. Moreover, since Aeroque is a country with a fairly strong kingship, it will be so in nine out of ten cases.
“… … I cannot take orders.”
“Hey, even if I gave you something?”
“If you wish, we will return it.”
“Oops, I guess I didn’t get it right.”
As Romero finished speaking, the ‘shadow’ standing behind began to move.
A small crack appeared in his hand, and a new space appeared, in which the handle of the sword was revealed.
All of this really happened in an instant.
If it were an ordinary person, the sword would have decapitated him before he even recognized the existence of the sword.
But to me it was ‘seen’.
‘Shadow’ is about to pull out his sword.
I could barely open my mouth.
“Don’t draw that sword. Die.”
I.
