CH 105

: Siegfried (1)

The winter highs are cold.

The fluttering snow covered the fully harvested farmland and made it a white background, and the Plaza de Dalente was decorated with a romantic atmosphere.

Siegfried was watching the panoramic view while wearing a fur coat above Heis.

"It's huge."

Since it was the territory of the great eastern aristocrats, I thought it would be big, but it was much bigger than I thought.

And compared to other cities, it felt heavy. There are many tall buildings, the streets are clean, and the faces of the young people are bright.

Winter is a hungry season, but it seems that it is not applicable only here.

It is a manor that owns the largest agricultural land in the kingdom.

Then, his eyes landed on one place. It was a building at the end of Belbart Street, the main street of Heiss.

The building nearing completion was in the form of a temple, and it was the Pyro Church.

"Isn't that the place where the Zenith Church used to be?"

He was aware of the incident at Apton.

After that, the magic world also began to check the Zenith religion. The wizards were very individualistic, so there were only a few people who showed interest in the Apton case.

But as long as the king's name has fallen, he has no choice but to obey orders.

If the water is black, it should be.

Anyway, the temple just before completion was very beautiful even to him.

"It's pretty cool, isn't it?"

Should I call it a work of art?

While he was in the midst of looking at the Pyro Bridge, a man caught his eye.

He was a fierce-looking character, but the momentum flowing around his body was no joke.

I was curious as to what the character was doing, so I looked a little more blatantly.

Well?

The man sighed and looked up at the sky.

Iraq, the deputy bishop of the Pyro Church's Highs branch and a member of the Holy Executioner, frowned.

"What just happened?"

A strange gaze was felt in the sky.

It was very faint, but Airak tilted his head and muttered.

"You must be mistaken. Anyway, I was tired these days. Are you sensitive?"

Airak dismissed it as an illusion and took a step back.

And Siegfried, hidden in the back space, appeared with his breath.

"Whoa! How did you feel?"

I felt it was unusual, but I didn't expect to feel that distant gaze.

I don't know who he is, but he was definitely a high-ranking priest of the Pyro Church.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you get caught, but isn't it embarrassing when you make eye contact while secretly watching?

Siegfried was not very fond of embarrassing situations.

"Should we stop playing and go see some errands?"

He saw a large castle situated north of Heiss.

The lord of Heath and the great mansion where the Welton family lives.

His target is there.

It was Jamie Welton. He came to Heis to meet the rising star of the magical world who is said to be born with the best talent in the human world.

If there is a problem, there is a strong guardian protecting the target.

He thought of Earl Wellton, whom he had never seen before.

"I came here because I was pushed by the backs of the old people."

Still, at least once, I wanted to see the real thing of the Sword Master, who is said to be one of the best in the kingdom.

'You don't like the magic world, do you?'

I heard that you don't like the characteristic faction fights.

Siegfried also acknowledged it. Although he was the 7th Elder in the magic world, he was disgusted by faction battles and did not go to the magic world very well.

The problem is that we have to take Jamie Welton to such a magul.

There was a reason why the other elders in the magic world, that is, the old people, did not come directly.

It was because of fears of what would happen if Earl Welton got hit with a knife.

'Isn't there really no way the Count can wield a sword?'

I heard that the Count is not someone who harms others recklessly. On the contrary, unless it is particularly offensive, it is said that he possesses a docile disposition.

I'm not kidnapping Jamie Welton into the wizarding world, I'm just here to make a suggestion. If you kill it, isn't that a psycho?

Anyway, the other elders made a request to Siegfried, and Siegfried accepted the request.

The elders were not the only reason the request was granted.

'Did you enter class 6?'

Jamie Welton is already a class 6 wizard.

There were rumors circulating in the magic world right now.

He had just reached the age to enter the magic world and had already reached the level of a high-ranking wizard.

It was an unbelievable rumor, and I thought it was actually exaggerated.

Even taking that into account, it would be correct to have reached the level of at least 5th class.

"I'm already excited."

Before Jamie Welton, the modifier "genius" was always attached to Siegfried.

In fact, he showed talent that was not lacking even if he was called that, and became the youngest elder in the magic world.

But in front of Jamie Welton, he was nothing more than a shabby firefly.

I don't know if he will enter the magic world or not, but I didn't know what the outcome would be.

"Holding a heart full of excitement."

The space twists and eats Siegfried.

"I'm going to see you now."

his figure disappeared.

* * *

Jiying-

A strange sound flows.

Jamie lifted her head, feeling the vibrations from the tip of her sword. Beads of sweat dripped down the back of his nose.

He saw the space in front of him slightly distorted. The distorted space was quickly filled and disappeared.

That alone was enough.

father.

" ."

Earl Welton was speechless when he saw the sight created where his son wielded his sword.

The traces of the slightly distorted space disappeared quickly, but it could not be dismissed as insignificant.

'He's already... .'

4 months.

It's time to teach Jamie the basics of a dagger.

The short sword is a special and powerful swordsmanship that made the Welton family what it is today. It was difficult to learn and boasted a very high level of difficulty.

Among the generations of householders, fewer than ten had mastered the dagger.

Of course, the basics were also very difficult. To the extent that it is said that it is more difficult to enter at the beginning than to master a dagger.

'But I've already learned the basics.'

A dagger is a sword that cuts nihilities.

In other words, you should be able to cut space by default.

very little is good If you can cut through space, you've mastered the basics of a dagger.

When Earl Wellton first learned the dagger, it took him two years to learn the basics.

But only 4 months.

He already knew that his son was gifted with swords. The White Sea, which I thought was perfect, was developed one step further. That was different from simply using a sword well.

Even so, I thought the dagger would be an exception... .

"This dad can't help but admire you every time he sees you grow."

"It's all thanks to my father's good teaching."

"Humility."

The count smiled at his son who brazenly exalted him.

"I have nothing more to teach you."

Yeah? It's like you're just getting started, isn't it?

"I have mastered the basics of daggers. From now on, it is a battle of enlightenment."

enlightenment ."

"As you know, a single-dagger sword is very different from ordinary swordsmanship."

Jamie nodded her head.

single sword. I didn't know it until I learned it, but as I learned it, I realized that it wasn't a normal swordsmanship.

A dagger has no form. That is, there is no herbivore.

The replacement for that is the 'welton type 10'.

Welton type 10 puts a dagger. That was the essence of the Welton family's arcane swordsmanship.

And if you learn the basics of a dagger, you can cut a small space. The higher the level, the bigger the shape will be, and later even non-material things will be able to be cut.

With Jamie's current skills, she can only scratch things slightly, but the more she realizes, the more the dagger will become more ghastly.

'It's a very strange swordsmanship.'

In a previous life, there was no one who used swordsmanship similar to that of a dagger.

"If you have any questions while practicing, you can ask at any time."

Okay.

guy.

Earl Wellton patted his head as if he was proud of his son, who responded with courage.

Then, the servant came.

master. A guest has arrived."

customer? Haven't you heard anything?

That is ."

The servant glanced at Jamie with a slightly stiff face.

The Count frowned.

"Who is it?"

"The seven elders of the magical world have come."

The count's expression subsided at the word 'magical world'.

It's only been a few days since the new year.

The magician had only one reason to visit the Welton family.

"I think you came here because of me."

Jamie Wellton turned 8 this year.

He was old enough to enter the magic world.

And the magic world has always been paying attention to Jamie's outstanding talent.

There was no way Jamie and Earl Wellton would have known that.

"It doesn't mean that I want to make you a disciple."

There are already rumors circulating in the world that he has reached the 6th class. Most of them didn't believe it, but most of them believed that they had broken through at least 5 classes.

And in the 5th class, if you brought in a disciple, you did it, but you didn't have the ability to go under someone.

"I think you want to hire me."

"It seems so."

The Count replied with a smile. But the only thing that was smiling was the shape of his mouth. The snow is still sinking cold.

I don't know why he doesn't like the magic world, but if the recruitment offer is correct, I'll leave the choice to myself.

Earl Wellton was a caring father who put his children first.

'Isn't that the 7 elders?'

He didn't have much interest in the magic world, but Chapter 7 was an exception.

'Did I say that the genius before me was also the 7th Elder?'

Space Magic Specialist.

I think his name was Siegfried.

'I'd like to see him.'

I wanted to ask Earl Wellton if I could go with him, but Jamie could see a little bit of his father's expression now.

'I think you've got quite a fever?'

I don't know where the heat was, but even a genius wizard wouldn't be able to handle the count easily.

And I don't want to show that to my son.

Bye. I will be waiting for you."

"I thought you were going to ask me to go with you."

"You're going to say no anyway."

"Have you grown your eyesight?"

The Earl said again, stroking Jamie's head.

"Rest in your room."

"I'll be swinging my sword more."

"It's good to have that attitude."

The Count said to work hard and left with his servant.

Jamie looked behind him, shrugged his shoulders, and swung his sword again.

* * *

Siegfried was looking at the sumptuous drawing room.

Indeed, the mansion of the great aristocrat was different no matter what.

As was the case with the vast estates, this huge mansion was also very well maintained. Above all, artifacts disguised as ornaments were scattered everywhere.

From artifacts that make life pleasant, to security artifacts that will ruthlessly bombard intruders.

It was also incredibly diverse.

"It's true that the great nobles are different."

Of course, it is not comparable to the facilities of the magical world, but in the first place, the magical world is a place containing the essence of the magic of the kingdom.

not to be compared.

Still, Siegfried felt comfortable in this place, where even the teacup was closer to art than the bleak magic world.

I will not be able to deal with the person I meet from now on comfortably.

Just then, the door opened and a man entered.

Siegfried put the teacup he was holding back down.

'Oh.'

The man who came with his attendant looked at him with cold eyes.

Siegfried felt a chill at the cold gaze.

This is the sword master Count Welton who is said to be the supreme ruler of the kingdom.

The Count opened his mouth.

"Nice to meet you. Count Wellton."

To that heavy greeting, Siegfried responded with a smile.

"This is Siegfried, the 7th Elder who came out to represent the magical world."

"I am familiar with the reputation. so ."

The count, seated in his seat, said in a low voice.

"Tell me what purpose you came to this Welton's place without any communication."

Siegfried had the illusion that a lion was sitting in front of him.
