Episode 212:


    I felt stinging gazes.


    The gazes surrounding me. Along with the knights, the soldiers belonging to Easton were ring at me.


    Just a little while ago, their gazes toward me were full of camaraderie, but why did it be like this?


    I turned my head and looked to both sides.


    “It looks like there are a lot of people to spar with.”


    “Raymond, you are always causing trouble.”


    Selina and Beatrice were moving right next to me.


    During the three months I didn’t see them, their beauty continued to shine.


    Before, I still felt young, but now I exuded maturity.


    Three months may be a long time, but it was not long enough for my appearance to change this much.


    ‘What on earth did you do to your face?’


    Since Selina was directly described as beautiful in the original work, it was expected that her appearance would be more beautiful.


    But Beatrice was unexpected.


    It was beautiful enough before, but now…


    ‘Is this what the three flowers of the kingdom are like?’


    Selina, Beatrice and Daria, the first princess.


    It was a term used to refer to beauties representing the kingdom.


    She was said to be so beautiful that they would go beyond all means toe to see Selina just to get a glimpse of her, and there were also people who came every day under the pretext of sparring to meet Selina.


    Beatrice, known as the flower of the magic world, was less fortunate.


    Because there were so many entric wizards around, they filtered out people on their own.


    Daria left the kingdom with the people who came to her, so to be precise, I should say two flowers.


    Anyway, that’s not what’s important right now.


    There was a saying that Selina was the best among them.


    ‘This is surprising in a different way.’


    While Selina, with her silver hair, was a beauty with a mysterious and calm charm, Beatrice was extremely gorgeous with red hair.


    A beauty whose appearance will never be obscured even if she is adorned with jewels.


    There were two beautiful women who would run after them nkly if they encountered them while passing by, so it was natural that the soldiers’ eyes would follow them.


    The only problem was that the girls who caught everyone’s attention followed me around.


    Yes, I understand.


    Since this is a foreign country, you may feel shy because you don’t know anyone.


    But that also has its limits. I feel frustrated after chasing after him all day.


    That was true on the day, but after a night, they followed me around like leeches.


    When I heard that they were following me outside, I missed the right time to visit the elves.


    ‘Shouldn’t Selina go to her father at least?’


    The reason she was able toe here was because of Bane’s permission.


    However, when she came here, she did not meet Bane, except for bowing her head once.


    I wonder if Bane would have shown his disappointment at that sight.


    “What are you doing there?”


    What’s even crazier is that Bane, who initially expressed disappointment, is now just watching like a bystander.


    It’s absurd to see a happy face from far away.


    “Don’t worry about me, just do your job.”


    “Haa…”


    I sighed at his words.


    I should be able to feel morefortable if I drop them.


    -There is no ce for profit!


    If it were so bad, would Riems run away?


    I calmed Riems down by stroking his head invisibly.


    “Raymond, I would like you to spar with me. Just like before…”


    “Before that, do it for me first. “I have a new magic…”


    They clung to me and talked to me like children bragging to their parents about what they learned at school.


    At first, I epted it with a smile.


    I didn’t hesitate because it was an opportunity to see how far they had grown.


    But that’s only happened once or twice, this is already the fourth time.


    As soon as she woke up, she clung to me and begged me to spar with her, while Beatrice was anxious to show me her magic.


    I felt a sense of disconnect from the girls I knew.


    Beatrice is also Beatrice, but Selina was a very arrogant woman, and now…


    “As for sparring, if you ask them over there, you can do as much as you want.”


    “Soon, you will have to use magic even if you don’t want to, so be careful.”


    He calmed them down and dissuaded them.


    The knights’ eyes sparkled with anticipation of being able to spar with Selina.


    No matter how much they care about women, their appearance inevitably catches their eye.


    “Hmm…”


    Selina looks back at the knights. Her eyes examined the articles as if evaluating a product.


    Then, she nced back at me, savored her food with a strange look in her eyes, and nodded.


    “I’m sure… there’s something I can learn.”


    Is it possible to know that just by looking at it?


    Come to think of it, she was also talented.


    Raymond’s swordsmanship talent was so deceptive that it was buried, but her talent was so great that it could not be ignored.


    If it weren’t for me, if Ahar had taken it, if she hadn’t discovered it, she could have be the most talented swordsman of her time.


    Even across the entire continent, there were only five people with talent greater than hers.


    That’s how outstanding her talent was.


    “It’s good. “I will spar with them.”


    The knights cheered at her words.


    Aside from the knights, the soldiers were also excited that their turn woulde.


    One person has been resolved, and now all we have to do is drop Beatrice.


    ‘Oh, that would be fine.’


    Now that I think about it, there is a ce where a wizard is needed.


    I headed to themand barracks with Beatrice.


    As morning begins, the Marquis of Easton and his vassals gather in themand barracks.


    When the meeting was over, the vassals left, but the Marquess of Easton stayed behind to handle business.


    There was no separate office.


    His bedroom and office were also located within the castle.


    Nevertheless, work was being carried out in the barracks.


    This is something that other nobles can never imagine.


    When I asked the Marquis of Easton the reason, he said that he felt relieved only when he was in themand barracks.


    When I go into the office and do some work, I feel restless and feel like I’m wearing clothes that don’t fit my body. They say that I only feel at ease when I go into themand barracks, so who can stop that?


    Moreover, he is the most powerful person here.


    There is no way anyone can stop him.


    ‘More than anything, the knights and vassals look familiar.’


    In any other ce, he would have stopped his actions, saying it was disrespectful, but here it was different.


    It was a familiar experience, and it felt strange that he was not in themand barracks.


    I feel more strongly that he is themander of an army rather than the owner of a lord.


    So, you can meet him at any time by visiting themand barracks.


    It was still like that now.


    “Oh Raymon… Wow!”


    A soldier standing guard in front of themand barracks noticed me and took a deep breath while trying to greet me.


    I can see that his gaze was drawn to Beatrice, who came with me, as he looked nkly next to me.


    “Themander is inside, right?”


    “….”


    He snapped his fingers in front of his nk face.


    After bouncing several times, he took a deep breath and came to his senses.


    “What did you say?”


    “I want to see themander.”


    “He is inside. But next to that…?”


    “This is a wizard who will help us this time. So, would you please wipe the drool from that chin?”


    He quickly lifted his hand and wiped his chin.


    His face turned slightly red as he wiped his chin and covered his face, probably because he was embarrassed for showing such indecent behavior.


    I nced at Beatrice and saw that she was smiling businesslike.


    “Commander.”


    “Sir Raymond. And next to it…!”


    When he raised his head in response to my voice, his eyes turned to my side and his pupils made an earthquake.


    He was surprised by Beatrice’s beauty.


    For a moment, he did not look as dirty as a soldier standing guard.


    I immediately came to my senses and adjusted my posture.


    “They said there was the eldest daughter of the Skr family who was dispatched as a supply unit this time. I guess you are Miss Beatrice.”


    “It’s an honor to meet you. dismissal.”


    Beatrice bowed her head towards the Marquis of Easton.


    A polite attitude without being excessive.


    Perhaps that made him more satisfied, the Marquis of Easton nodded and told me to straighten my back.


    “So what’s going on? “I remember they already guided me through everything I needed to do.”


    Preparations are over and all that remains is to fight the war.


    Beatrice’s job in war was to provide support from the rear.


    “I came here to repair the wall.”


    I spoke first.


    Beatrice simply followed me.


    “barrier?”


    “yes. “I heard that the wall needs to be repaired.”


    “yes. But why is that… Ah!”


    While wondering, he let out an exmation as if he realized something.


    Then he looked at Beatrice with heated eyes and nodded.


    “Right. “It’s definitely a good idea.”


    Even though I didn’t say anything until the end, he convinced himself with a look of realization on his face.


    He jumped up, bowed towards Beatrice, and said.


    “Please do this. Please use that power for us.”


    “You don’t have to do that. “Wake up!”


    Beatrice said to him, horrified.


    And he looked at me with an expression that seemed like he didn’t understand and wanted an exnation.


    I said to her and then to the Marquis of Easton.


    “Beatrice is currently a 5th Circle wizard. One day will certainly be a short time, but we will be able to set up a helpful barrier, albeit a weak one. If you think you are having a hard time, please tell me now. “It’s not coercion.”


    She frowned at my words.


    A magic circle that any wizard can create.


    Even a 1st circle wizard cany down a magic circle if he has enough materials and time.


    That means that she, a 5th circle mage, can also do it.


    But the problem was time.


    No matter how great a magician is, it is difficult toplete a magic circle in half a day unless you are an archmage of the 8th circle or higher.


    To be precise, it is difficult to draw a high-level magic circle.


    In order to draw a magic circle, you must calcte a form and ce the magic stone properly in the designated location.


    If either the form or the cement is slightly wrong, the magic circle will copse immediately.


    That’s what I was asking her to do now.


    I would be even more embarrassed because I wasn’t told in advance.


    But we don’t want anything that big.


    “I don’t want great magic. It is enough to strengthen the walls. “If time permits, it would be nice if you could draw a magic circle to counterattack, but that is impossible.”


    It’s hard to hope for that right now, as I wouldn’t know if she hade with me three months ago.


    A magic circle that strengthens the castle walls is enough.


    “Hmm…”


    She ponders.


    Drawing a magic circle takes a lot of effort.


    “If it’s hard, you don’t have to do it.”


    “It’s not that I can’t do it, but I need a lot of magic stones.”


    “If that’s the case, can I rece it with this?”


    I took out two ores from my pocket.


    One is a low-level magic stone brought by Ellis, and the other is a blood stone received from a great warrior.


    As it is an ore that absorbs life force and mana, I thought it might be able to rece magic stones, so I brought it out and her reaction was bigger than I expected.
