Kelvast was by no means a small city, but the news that the lord was urgently leading an escort to the Wall quickly spread throughout the city.


    Usually, when the lord moved, stories rted to the orcs flowed out, so it was natural for the citizens, and thanks to this, the incident also spread quickly and drew attention.


    The story that an unknown adventurer not only showed up with Lord Dubert’s two-handed axe, but also cut a knight in half, but the lord politely took him away spread much faster than the story that he headed for the wall, and the servants working in the lord’s castle Information was updated from time to time.


    There was only one story that the city could cheer in the information delivery made like that.


    Finally, that cursed orc cub died.


    Other than that, there were only things that were questionable, inconsistent, or something I didn’t like as a citizen of Kelvast.


    Some say he’s an unknowing adventurer, while others say he’s as polite as an aristocrat, someone says a fledgling who doesn’t even feel likeing up is lucky enough to get away with an axe, and still others say how ipetent a person who splits armor in half is. refute


    Rumors that can only spread overnight have spread so many different stories that one wonders if they are true, and the adventurer quickly became a celebrity in Kelvast. either in a good or bad way. Even though his name was not known, the fact that he became so famous led some to dismiss the story itself as a rumor.


    And such rumors made some knights staying in the lord’s castle ufortable, regardless of the intentions of the person concerned.


    “You must get the ax back at all costs!”


    While the Margrave of Kelvast was busy trying to ascertain the authenticity of what the adventurer had said, one of the knights who were gathering in twos and threes and discussing the seriousness of the situation struck the table and enthused.


    If it had been shouted out by a young, high-spirited average knight, he would have been forced tough it off, but the owner of that cry was a middle-aged knight who had been protecting Kelvast for quite a long time among knights, and there was no way to stop his obvious but pointless protest-likeints here. The articles that were there were counted in one hand.


    “How can the remains of Sir Dubert, who sacrificed his whole life for Kelvast…!”


    Unfortunately, among the knights on that hand, those of the highest rank were in a meeting with the lord, and those of a simr rank agreed with him.


    Thanks to this, the knights who followed the lord to the western gateway to escort them were on the verge of death.


    ‘What can I do with an orc-like guy who splits people and armor in half with pure brute force?’


    They were trainee knights at the time Sir Dubert was active, so their feelings were understandable, but reality was different from that. The middle-ranking knight started preaching to the adventurer, who had no honor at all, that he had to reim the ax by requesting a sacred duel, but the escort knights knew very well that even if they died soon, they could not win against that human.


    Outwardly, it didn’t even feel right. Apart from the difference in rank, it was just insignificant. However, the uncleaned blood grease remaining on the axe suggested that the adventurer had killed the knight with the axe, so it is said that the horror was caused entirely with muscles.


    If they hadn’t lived to hear about Sir Dubert’s feat and what kind of ax was, they would have considered it a magic axe. If so, I would have been caught up in that fric atmosphere by now.


    “That’s right! How can a Kelvast knight, who protects the border between humanity and civilization, suck his fingers while being robbed of such an honorable adventurer!”


    “A barbarian who cut the knights in two in front of the gate! How is it different from an orc!”


    It’s not. I heard that the lord knows thew well enough to be suspicious…


    The eyes of the three trembling eyes crossed in the air, and with tacit agreement, they decided to shut their mouths. I had no idea what kind of nagging and spirit I would receive from those riders far above me if I just refuted here.


    “I can’t make my blood boil! I must show that ouw right now what justice and honor are!”


    As the number of voices agreeing with his opinion increased, he seemed to have gained confidence. In fact, no one stopped him, and eventually ten knights began to gather and head for the adventurer’s room.


    The three escort knights, who tried hard to keep their mouth shut but couldn’t get out of the flow, tilted their heads and exchanged nces. Wouldn’t it be possible to do something with this?


    It was dyed for a while because they were worried about etiquette, but the knights came to the conclusion that they were adventurers anyway, so let’s do it moderately, and knocked on the door where the adventurer was.


    As soon as the polite voice told me toe in, the middle-aged knight who opened the door stood at the forefront and gave a short bow to the adventurer before speaking.


    “My guest from faraway Isithel, I’m sorry foring to see you without an appointment! However, while you don’t know when you’ll be on your journey, this situation is so urgent for us that we’ve taken action despite our rudeness, so please understand. !”


    A slight wrinkle appeared between the eyebrows of the escort knights. No matter how much, I don’t think that’s a bit too much etiquette, senior driver.


    Toe in and apologize unterally and force understanding. Although the Margrave always said that it was not good for the knights who served the lord to do so, even though it was a disposition to neglect manners and pursue practical interests.


    The gazes of the escort knights secretly turned to the adventurer, but they were only showing reactions that they could not understand what they were thinking.


    It was only when the gaze and silence of the adventurer, who was lyingfortably on the bed, motionless and staring at the knights, that he felt burdened, that he opened his mouth.


    “What’s your business?”


    “…Hmmmm, you’ve probably already heard of it…”


    The middle-aged knight, who thought the adventurer understood and passed on, gave a lengthy exnation, but the escort knights’ wrinkles only increased. As soon as I saw the lord, I was the one who asked if he knew thew well, is that his reaction right now?


    Why ‘I’ll understand and move on.’ It’s not ‘Let’s hear what the hell is this rudeness.’ Does it sound like


    “…So, we, the knights of Kelvast, who are here now, want a chance to return the great Sir Dubert’s double-edged ax from you through a sacred duel!”


    The middle-ranking knight finished talking and waited for a response, but this time the adventurer was silent. in a very carefree manner.


    He was lying still without even getting up, but since he had alreadymitted rudeness and came in, no one pointed it out and was only sending disapproving nces. Then, he took up the sword that had been released beside him and looked at the middle-ranking knight calmly.


    “There must be a training ground. Guide me.”


    It was a very natural and calm attitude, but the other knights, led by the middle-ranking knight, dly took the lead, d that they had just created an excuse to get the ax back. As if escorting adventurers back and forth. Or, some of the knights who moved as if they were encircling them to prevent them from escapingughed at the adventurers in a very low voice.


    “It seems like you think you only need to deal with one person.”


    “Haha, how could they be so ignorant? Surely Lord Haxen correctly said ‘the knights of Kelvast’. Even amoner would know the difference.”


    “If you knew, wouldn’t you have politely declined the duel?”


    “Hmm, that makes sense.”


    It was a remark that would make even the three knights who became escort knights frommoners only with hard work look fat, but since they were not the people to be considerate of such things, the escort knights just quietly followed. While the knights who arrived at the training ground drew attention and circled around them, medium-sized knight Hak-sen stood in the center of the training ground and faced the adventurer who was still looking around with a cold attitude, drew his sword and adjusted his posture.


    “I, Haxen Stroud, knight of the fortress city of Kelvast, swear in front of the gods that I will take ownership of Sir Dubert’s double-edged axe in a holy duel right here and now!”


    At the same time, the aura that had been well stored inside her body began to radiate. Among the knights who reached the Aura Expert in the castle, the aura that he intimidated and spewed out was certainly unusual, but the adventurer who looked at it did not show any change as if he did not feel anything.


    I just took a half step back, bowed my back, bowed, and drew my sword in a clean, undisturbed motion.


    “uh?”


    The escort knights exchanged nces without saying who came first, watching the perfect action without any superfluities that reflexively leaked questions from the knights who were watching.


    “I am Eldmia Ega. The son of Radan Ega and Ebisher Ruina, an apprentice who learned the sword of Ogatorp and walked the path of a knight, andter swore to walk the path of wandering for the peace of the kingdom and the peace of the people. It’s a sword.”


    Somehow it seemed like this.


    “As the knights of the fortified city of Kelvast im the rightful spoil I have won on the battlefield, the double-edged ax called Lord Dubert’s Legacy, I will not engage in a duel until they pay me for their disrespect and their wishes. I swear in front of all gods.”


    Confusion arose among the knights, who understood that the situation was about to turn out of the ordinary, but the adventurer, who identified himself as Eldmia, just concluded the conversation while taking a posture at the top.


    “I lost my honor in this ce, so I will regain my honor in this ce and receive the price. Until then, I will neither reap the sword nor open my mouth.”


    Among the bewildered knights, only the escort knights tightly closed their eyes.


    Don’t you know honor? Ouw? savage? If that was a savage, everyone here was a savage.


    ‘As expected, none of the words of the lord were wrong.’


    That day, as soon as Margrave Kelvast came out after a long three-hour meeting, he heard that all seven knights under hismand had been broken by an adventurer from Itthiel and paid a ransom, and he had to hold his back.
