Only I Am Immune to Magic

Chapter 009. Gura with soul

As a child, Aaron had a dream that would be remembered for the rest of his life.

A dream in which a knight wearing black armor that can absorb even light looks down at him.

The young Aaron, seeing it for the first time in his life, was curious and touched the knight’s armor and fumbled with the handle of the sword.

It might be annoying, but the knight didn’t kick Aaron out, but instead unleashed his sword and handed it over to him.

A jet-black sword that was completely black, from the scabbard to the pommel, handle, and even the blade.

‘This sword is now yours.’

As Aaron accepted the sword with both hands, the jet-black knight disappeared without a single word.

A short but intense dream.

It was from then on that Aaron was able to mutter words he had never heard before.

“I, we are here for revenge… … .”

Aaron, who had finished talking about his dream, soon began muttering incomprehensible words with a confused face.

“But we are not alone. The hearts of our knights are united by honor and will… … . The battle will be fought in everyone’s name… … . Let them kneel before our swords.”

The words, once started, lasted for several minutes, like a long magic spell.

“This… … This… … .”

Gardi stared at the Baron, unable to close his gaping mouth.

The Baron was also surprised.

He took a deep breath and opened his mouth slowly.

“Right. A speech given by Lord Oberyn during the final battle a thousand years ago.”

Dark Knight Oberyn.

He is the hero of the knights who made a remarkable contribution to driving the demons invading the central continent beyond the northern barrier.

The figure of the knight Aaron had just described and the speech he uttered bore a striking resemblance to that of Oberyn a thousand years earlier.

“To recite every word of a speech that even I can’t remember a few lines of… … . I don’t know what this is.”

“young master. Where have you heard those words?”

Leaving the confused Baron behind, Gardi asked excitedly.

Aaron shook his head.

“That’s something I’ve never heard before. It’s what I’m talking about, but I don’t understand. At first, I thought I was cursed, but looking at Sir’s reaction, fortunately, I don’t think it’s a curse.”

“Curse it. It doesn’t even matter. Sir Oberyn is waking up from his slumber and saying something that will make you jump.”

“Is Lord Oberyn that famous?”

Aaron tilted his head.

“There is not a single knight who does not know Lord Oberyn.”

Gardi nodded as if he knew that.

Aaron, who had been sold as a slave in the mines before he could even speak, had no idea about Oberyn.

“Sir Oberyn is a hero who spearheaded the war against the demons a thousand years ago.”

He briefly explained the ancient hero Oberyn.

Aaron opened his mouth slightly as if he was hearing it for the first time even though he already knew it.

“Then the one who saved me then… … You mean Lord Oberyn?”

“I guess so.”

The baron, who had been silently listening to the story, nodded.

In this world, heroes who made a name for themselves in the past or those blessed by God are occasionally born.

They usually have a different growth process from childhood, and if they express their talents, they will surely leave their names in history.

The strong eyes that remained alive despite ten years of persecution, the courage to handle a horse with one hand that even two strong men could not handle, and the power to pierce the dragon tribe’s wrath with the first spear they had ever held in their lives.

It was only now that Aaron’s unusual behavior began to make sense.

‘Amelia. You have left me a truly great gift. I will surely turn this child into a great knight. Please keep an eye on me.’

The baron’s gaze at Aaron deepened.

A child blessed by Oberyn and no one else.

There could be no greater honor than this in a knight’s family.

‘Ah, Oberyn was too much.’

Aaron lowered his head quietly at the hot eyes of the men pouring down from both sides.

three days later

When the baron’s men arrived in Mineville, the group dismembered Drake’s body, put it on a wagon, and left for the lord’s castle.

“I see a castle.”

By the time the sunset slowly sets in the clear sky. Guardi, who was in the vanguard, pointed somewhere and said.

At the end of the rough-polished road, I saw a black castle surrounded by vast farmlands.

“It’s worth starting early. Let’s go.”

said the baron with a laugh.

“this… … Is that your father’s last name?”

As we approached the castle, Aaron opened his eyes wide and asked.

Oddhaken’s castle walls were made by stacking elaborately processed ink-colored stones.

This majestic wall built by the Dwarves of the Tmolin Mountains was also a symbol of Kane’s outstanding diplomacy.

“It is extremely unusual for Dwarves to directly build a wall for humans. Because of this, at one time, the lord was envy and jealous.”

Gardi nodded with a proud expression.

“Loyalty! Greetings to the owner of this land!”

Immediately, the guards standing in front of the gate greeted the party with a loud salute.

“okay. You work hard in cold weather.”

“no! thank you!”

The guard responded moderately to the baron’s consolation and gestured upward.

Kurrr-

Then, the strong gate, which was covered with several layers of iron plates, opened with a heavy sound.

“Come! You are here!”

“Is that the Drake?”

“Hee! Look at that big head! I think it has been there for hundreds of years?”

“Then did the baron become a dragon slayer?”

“It must be a drake, not a dragon.”

As soon as they entered the castle, a large number of people flocked to see the party, to be exact, to see the drake they caught.

“Ugh! Don’t make a fuss and get out of here! Do you want to be kicked by a horseshoe!”

Gardi roared at the crowd.

But only then, like a group of sardines meeting a shark, the scattered people soon gathered again.

“These guys… … !”

“Leave it. Isn’t it a good day?”

As Gardi clenched his fist, the baron laughed and said,

The people of Yeongju Castle who lived in a relatively safe area for farming did not see many monsters.

People who have been boring everyday life have a chance to see the corpse of a monster, especially Drake’s corpse, but why not see it?

“But who is that person?”

“Are you a noble from another territory?”

“What kind of clothes do nobles wear?”

“It’s clothes, you can wear whatever you like. If you’re not a noble, how can you ride alongside the baron?”

The eyes of the people who were watching Drake frantically turned to Aaron.

“Aren’t you the baron’s other child?”

“Outside children? So, was the rumor true?”

“That he was a slave in the mines?”

“You madman. Watch your mouth. Do you want to fly away?”

When watching Drake, the voices of people who were talking openly became suddenly quieter.

‘Looks like rumors have already spread.’

Aaron looked at him and murmured to himself.

The only communication equipment in this world was a magician’s crystal ball, but it wasn’t easy to keep it a secret.

It is commoners’ daily routine to spread rumors when they hear something interesting, and nobles often hire mercenaries who specialize in stealth to track down and investigate political opponents.

‘That won’t be long either.’

Aaron ignored the stares from all directions and rode on.

Anyway, if you put your name on Odd Haken’s genealogy, words like that will fit in.

You didn’t have to react to him one by one.

“Are you here? master. Sir Gardi.”

When we arrived at the manor house, we were greeted by a middle-aged man with a handsome gray beard.

Derek, the butler of the Odd Haken family.

If Gardi was Odhaken’s sword, Derek was his hands and feet.

Having taken care of the mansion since the previous head of the family, he was above the knight commander in terms of hierarchy within the mansion.

“How have you been? derrick.”

“Thanks to my master, I am always at ease. I heard that you hunted dragons in Mineville. You have done a great job again.”

“I was just lucky.”

“hahahaha. Isn’t luck also part of skill? Anyway, I’m glad you came back healthy.”

After exchanging brief greetings with the baron, Derek naturally looked at Aaron.

“By the way, who is this man?”

“He is my son.”

“Oh, then what this man said before… … ?”

Derek was not taken aback by the baron’s outspoken reply.

As the manager of the mansion, he knew everything going on in the family.

Kane’s old love, as well as the existence of the child she gave birth to.

“Yes. You must be tired today, so wash it well and let it sleep. There will be a lot of work to do tomorrow.”

The Baron leaves, leaving Aaron with Derek.

It was almost sunset today, and everyone in the party was tired from the journey and needed a quality rest.

“Brother, I will formally greet you. My name is Derek, the butler of the Odd Haken family.”

When Aaron and I were left alone, Derek greeted us first.

“Nice to meet you, Derek. I am Aaron, son of Amelia, born in Tmoline.”

It was the first time he had met a person from a family other than the baron and Gardi, but Aaron greeted them politely without showing any nervousness.

‘Huh, did the lady outside teach you etiquette? He must have been a commoner?’

Derek was surprised to see Aaron greet him.

He has been living in the aristocratic society for decades, and with just one word or action, you can know what a person is like.

To him, Aaron looked like an aristocratic son who had just finished training in etiquette.

How is the speech? Even though he jumped up from a commoner to a nobleman’s son, he didn’t act reckless and was calm.

This was impossible without being educated somewhere.

“young master. I’m asking this at the risk of rudeness, but have you ever learned the etiquette of a nobleman?”

Derek, who was silently guiding Aaron, suddenly asked.

It was a great rudeness to ask about the past to the person who should serve in the future, but in the end, it was not enough to keep his itchy mouth shut.

“My mother didn’t want me to be someone to my father, just in case. So, despite people pointing fingers at him, he started studying. He… … .”

Aaron, who had been quiet for a while, took his luck with a calm face.

When the idyll-like story is over, Amelia has become the only wise mother and enterprising woman in the world.

“You have a really good mother.”

Derek admired Aaron, who was emotionally unshakable despite his hasty remarks and difficult past.

“Even though I’m meeting you for the first time today, I feel like you’ve been training for a really long time.”

“Probably a month or so.”

“… … yes?”

Derek immediately doubted his ears.

It’s a month. He must have been taught by a commoner who hadn’t learned anything properly, but to learn such skillful etiquette in just one month.

I couldn’t believe it even after hearing it.

“My mother passed away a month after I got the etiquette books. I can see how you liked that old book.”

Aaron looked up at the sky with a sorrowful face.

As if thinking of her mother who had been separated a long time ago, tears seemed to flow from her blue eyes filled with the sunset.

‘Even though you are perfect on the outside, you are still fragile on the inside. I’ve done a bad thing.’

Derek looked away as he saw the tears welling up in Aaron’s eyes.

It was a crime to bring out useless words and make them shed tears, so it was polite to cover up and move on.

‘mother. I can’t remember the face properly, but I’m sorry I keep using it like this. Still, isn’t it good for your son to succeed in life thanks to you?’

Aaron, who felt the remorse of an ant on his conscience, muttered to himself as he thought of Amelia.
