chapter 4
4. good sword
I slowly looked around Straun Monastery.
It was a very quiet monastery.
It was peaceful and quiet.
However, the Straun Monastery in my memory was different from this.
Skeletons were rolling everywhere, and the walls were covered in blood.
Not a single building remained intact, only a shattered appearance.
By the time you realize that you don’t have much time to relax.
Monted said a word and left.
“You must be tired, but first you need to do something. As I said before, it is to choose a lieutenant to accompany you. Please consider the standards of.”
I remembered the explanation Monted gave on the way.
‘The Seven Knights and the Holy Knights of the Order of Arlem are separate groups, but I said that the lieutenants of the Seven Knights are chosen from among the Holy Knights, right?’

Just as Gauron had Monted, he seemed to decide right away who would help me.
“First of all, take a light shower and rest for a while. In the meantime, I will prepare.”
“Not so.”
Monted disappeared for a moment before reappearing wearing a monk.
Then I asked the monk for me.
I was guided to a small empty room by a monk.
“Rest in peace.”
“Well.”
When I opened the door and went in, I saw a place the size of my studio room.
But now, the size of the room didn’t matter at all.
How many days did you stay homeless?
Even with such an assortment, it was at a level of perceptibility.
“Let’s wash up a bit… Whoa.”
It was there that I met my face for the first time.
Well… it wasn’t bad.
“You’re handsome. Hehe.”
After roughly washing up, Monted was already ready and waiting.
“Go away.”
“Well.”
In any case, this world seemed to have something to do with people rolling around.
Without a moment to rest, I headed back to my next schedule.
The interior of the monastery along Monted.
Like the outside, it wasn’t particularly fancy or fancy.
Even so, it was a strange place that made me feel grand.
I suddenly remembered something I was curious about and asked Montede’s back.
“Are all the other Knights of the Seven Knights here?”
“No. Except for Sir Andrew, the seven Knights of the Order, everyone else stays in their homeland in peacetime.”
“Right.”
That was good news.
I’m a newcomer, and if you show interest in me, it’ll be burdensome.
While walking like that, Monted led me into a small room.
I was able to face three paladins lined up in front of me.
Monted pointed at them and continued.
“All of them are proven skills.”
The most senior-looking, middle-aged knight.
And a giant knight so big that you can feel intimidated just by looking at it.
Finally, there was a young knight who looked dwarfed by the two of them.
The last knight must have suffered a recent injury, and was wearing bandages all over the place.
I glanced at them and responded with a nod.
However, the knights still seemed to have no idea what was going on.
It was the second largest knight who spoke first.
“Monted-sama, you called and came, but… what is it?”
I asked after walking half a step, but my palm looked like a pot lid.
It would probably look at least twice as big with the armor on.
When he came forward, the feeling of intimidation was no joke.
Of course, Monted didn’t bat an eye.
“Be polite. This is Rohan-nim, who will be the new member of the Seven Knights.”
“Hmm.”
“What, what did you say just now…the seventh knight of the seven knights, which never existed before…”
“……!”
There were three of them with different reactions.
But there seemed to be only one thing that surprised me.
I am also surprised that I am standing here, but are they different?
“You heard what he said.
“Bah, did you give permission right away?”

Judging from the context of their conversation, it seemed that the seven knights were not decided so hastily.
but.
Because I thought it was too fast.
“Yes. He gave permission right away. This is Gauron-nim’s recommendation.”
Only then did the quiet middle-aged knight open his mouth.
“Is Gauron speaking directly?”
“That’s right. That’s why the parish president also acknowledged it.”
“Hmm. Even so many talented people were all disapproving of Gauron-nim…”
Now the eyes of the knights turned from Monted to me.
They looked like what the hell did they look at and make that decision?
But I stayed still.
No, it would be right to say that I have no mind to pay attention to anything else.
“He-why is he here?”
It was because of the unexpected presence.
* * *
I couldn’t see it closely because I moved carefully to hide the movement of my eyes as much as possible, but I was sure.
A wounded knight standing in the third seat.
‘Why are you dressing as a man…? Is there some reason? Should I pretend not to know for now?’
I was pretending to be a man, but I couldn’t fool my eyes.
She was nicknamed the Hound of Twilight.
No, it was exactly the person I was going to have.
She appeared as a demon hunter after the middle of Pao God.
‘His name…was it Diaz? I think I saw the setting that he was a paladin in the past. I never thought it would be here…’
She was a named character among the demon hunters, but she was as strong as she was named.
So, he was also the one who became a problem.
No matter which character she chooses as her main character, she will always come across as an enemy.
As soon as you enter the middle, an event battle with Diaz occurs, and that was a problem.
You have to count moderately, because even if you count too much.
Thanks to that, I remember that there were considerable complaints from users who were blocked there.
Instead, in some chapters, he moves as an ally, but then he was also a character who could not be trusted.
Diaz’s strength came from her unique skills.
her unique skill.
‘A merciless attacker.’
As the name suggests, it was a unique skill with no mercy.
The ability implemented in Pao God was the ability to feed damage proportional to physical strength.
So, no matter how hard the player tried, the opponent was difficult.
At the same time, because of its unique skill, even in the second half, it was never pushed back by one attack power.
‘I thought it was an ability inherited from the lord who was killed by the devil when he was a paladin, right?’
Presumably, the days of the paladins were now, and the death of the master also seemed not too long ago.
Since my lord died, wouldn’t it have been assigned to me?
And those wounds and the dead eyes also supported that reasoning.
‘This is an opportunity to bring in a genius…!’
Needless to say, it was a great opportunity.
To be honest, there were too many elements of anxiety with just one space cut.
But what if Diaz looks after you?
That was a completely different story.
Because at least one life is a bonus.
‘Don’t do it if it doesn’t work.’
And if she refused, it would be a pity to choose another lieutenant.
A challenge with nothing to lose.
I called her by name, which had not yet been formally introduced, to draw attention to the half-stunned woman.
“Diaz. I’ve decided on you.”
Diaz was taken aback by my call.
“What, how do I get my name?”
She looked up at me, then at Monted.
With an expression full of questions asking if he gave me his name.
However, Monted tilted his head and shook his head as if he was also curious.
Diaz’s eyes returned to me again.
I replied with an expressionless face.
“If you want to know how, I’ll let you know. Only if you become my lieutenant.”
It was then.
Someone burst open the door and came in.
“Ah. I really. Did you know this would happen?”
* * *
The man who broke through the door without hesitation complained to Monted.
“Monted-nim. No, where are you saying this? I applied for the selection of an adjutant first.”
The first thing that caught my eye was the blonde bobbed hair tied back.
It felt like a handsome face adorn that hair style.
It was to the point where I thought it was my face.
Although it was a little flawed that it seemed a bit raw.
He frowned and looked at me.
“Of course, there are vacancies right now, but a new article suddenly without a word. Isn’t that too much?”
Hana Monted, who had often experienced this, acted so calmly.
“Sir Andrew does not have the right to express dissatisfaction with the right to appoint knights of the Seven Knights.”
“I’m still a member of the Seven Knights…”
“Still not.”
Monted, who is absolutely resolute.
At that, Andrew became downcast.
“That’s too much. Ehh. Anyway, I applied first for the selection of an aide. After Jack’s death, I have been moving without an aide.”
His face was on Monted, but Andrew’s eyes were on me.
“I have already decided that Diaz will be my lieutenant.”
“Nothing has been decided.”
“Eh?”
“Unlike the seven knights, the lieutenants are all paladins. The course of the paladins is, of course, decided by the parish priest.”
“Ah, no. The parish head must have…”
“The parish priest said. I will review it positively, he said.”
“……”
I didn’t know because I didn’t have time to talk, but Monted was not joking.
Andrew’s mouth was finally completely shut.
He glared at me for a moment.
“A talent that Gauron-nim directly selected?”
Something flashed and a piercing sound was heard.
A gust of wind passes through your face.
Shoot aaa!
and the next moment.
Without a blink of an eye, the point of the sword was pointed right in front of the pupil.
Even the slightest movement seemed like it would sting my eyes.
I stared at him frozen.
‘Wow…it’s a surprise! It comes in without even blinking…!’
If I let go of the tension, I would be tired.
I didn’t even see when the sword was drawn.
I didn’t even see it pulled out, but it was pointed right in front of my eyes.
Is this the level of the Seven Knights?
Even if it was on a different level, it was a completely different realm.
It was because he felt that if he stabbed him with this intention, he would die.
‘Coming here… it might have been the wrong choice…’
Regrets came later.
But now, there was no turning back.
Because a new unique skill and a new lieutenant were close by.
Strangely enough, however, Andrew’s expression hardened as he drew the sword.
“……”
I think I’m surprised by something… What’s wrong?
Meanwhile, Monted, who watched the scene right in front of him, screamed.
“Sir Andrew!”
Monted was the first to speak with anger.
The call startled even me.
‘Suddenly screaming and going wild! What if he pokes my eye in surprise?’
Fortunately, Andrew’s sword did not waver.
It was still standing before my eyes.
Andrew then made a puzzled expression.
“Ha ha ha. Monted-nim is also true. What are you so angry about just saying hello for friendship?”
“Didn’t the rudeness go too far! This is Gauron-nim and my guest!”
“I understand. I understand.”
As Andrew tried to retrieve the sword, I felt compelled to express myself a little.
‘If I look easy on myself, I’ll end up like this again.’
I quickly pulled the dagger with all the teeth missing from my waistband.
Then, Andrew stopped trying to bite the sword.
I hit Andrew’s sword with my dagger.
By secretly carrying space cuts.
In an instant, my dagger pierced Andrew’s blade more than halfway.
Swoop.
But the others didn’t seem to notice because they were so focused on me.
As if I wasn’t scared at all, I said a word indifferently.
“It’s a good sword.”
Then he left the room.
Behind me, I heard the noise of a rift.
Duduk.
The sound of Andrew’s sword breaking, which had been cut in half, was heard.
With Chaeng…!
The blade fell to the floor.
