Chapter 29: The Rich (5)

"So, when did you reach the grand stage?"

At Jamie's question, Earl Wellton unbuckled his sword from his waist and set it aside.

"Well. I can't say for sure when I became a Grand Master. Is it because I am at this level when I wake up?"

The Grand Master is a state that is difficult to experience in person.

This is because there is no such thing as the manifestation of powers like when you first became a master.

As he continued his training in training, he became a Grand Master at some point.

So the Count could not say specifically when it happened.

"Still, you must have felt the change in your body at some point."

Hmm. About six years ago."

At the words of six years ago, Jamie's eyes widened.

Did you know that you were on the grand stage even before you started your full-fledged activities?

So it was natural that he couldn't see through his father's level.

How did you know the level of a person who became a Grand Master early?

Even now, if he really hides his power, it's hard to notice.

Of course, so was Jamie.

"Anyway, I didn't mean to cheat."

"You didn't even want to tell me."

"It is."

It's true that he's a Sword Master, because there are more harm than good to hide, so I revealed it, but I thought that the Grand Master was different.

From then on, it was regarded as a power more than the state, so he probably received a lot of interference from the royal castle.

That's not to say it's a bad thing, but if it bothers you often, you don't care about your family.

That's why I hid it until now.

"Doesn't anyone know?"

"You don't know the sword. It is almost impossible to fool his eyes."

Sword Sword Tarixpan, the first sword of the Kingdom of Seldam.

One of the swordsmen known to be closest to the Grand Master in the entire continent.

"But why is it impossible to deceive his eyes?"

"It has to do with his power. Well, if the swordsman participates, even if you don't want to know, you will know."

i See. But the swordsman must be like his father... ."

When I asked a question because I thought I didn't know, Earl Welton smiled in disbelief.

"I don't know. If you're determined like me and hide your power, it's hard to know. I don't think I could have reached my father's thoughts. Because he was the same person with your grandfather."

Grandfather Chervyl Welton.

Finally, he reached the status of a grandmaster and completed the 'extreme chasm: Gaebyeok', the five-pointed sword that he had been pursuing all his life.

It is said that he tried to pass on misinformation to the present Earl of Wellton, but for some reason the Earl refused it.

And yesterday with my own two eyes, I could see why I didn't receive the tragic ceremony.

It was because he had the power of Dimensional Charm, so there was no need to learn a similar type of skill, Extreme Tragedy.

"I am glad to have you. Because I can carry on the legacy of my grandfather."

As Earl Wellton said, Jamie was well-qualified for the tragic ceremony.

No, because it's Jamie, maybe it's possible to maximize the efficiency of the catastrophe ceremony.

As a Future Walker, you will be able to perform your best attack through numerous cases.

He seemed to understand why Grandpa Chervyl had told Darius that it was a misinformation for his grandson.

To be precise, I realized yesterday when I saw Earl Welton's Dimension Charm.

father.

Yes.

"What the hell is Welton?"

Well ."

"My power, the Future Walker, and my father's Dimension Charm. If my prediction is correct, then Grandpa's power is also... ."

"Your prediction is correct. Your grandfather's power didn't have a name, but people around you called it this way. It's called 'Earth Sky'."

world ."

"It was the power to intervene in everything between heaven and earth."

In other words, the power of Cheerbil, heaven and earth, was also a power related to space.

What is the probability that the three generations will awaken the powers of the space series in a row?

Jamie was sure it would be at least 1% or less.

It was also a matter of 'blood'.

Earl Wellton nodded.

"It's not just Grandpa. It was the same with my father's grandfather, and according to records, my great-grandfathers, my great-grandfathers, and those who reached the mastery level among our ancestors before that were all awakened to the power of space."

In other words, if Welton's bloodline reaches the Master and awakens its powers, it means that without a single exception, it will acquire the powers of the space series.

There was no such case in any other family.

If so, what is the Welton family?

"I don't know either. I think your grandfather knew something, but he didn't tell him. You just suddenly left the estate."

" I heard something from Darius some time ago."

"Darius in the Dark Arena? Well. Yes it was. He showed you some of the tragic events."

Come to think of it, I hadn't even talked about the catastrophe five years ago, but Earl Wellton already knew that.

I didn't mean to come and ask how I knew.

Jamie nodded and continued.

"He said. The reason why grandfather made the tragic ceremony... It's just for me."

Perhaps he didn't know about such a thing, the count's eyes fluttered slightly.

'no wonder .'

The Count remembered his father's death just before his death.

A few days before he died, he called the count separately and said:

-Argeno. If you want, I'll pass it on to you. if you want

Clearly, Chervyl Welton had a heart to pass on to his son.

However, Earl Wellton didn't feel very sincere in that voice.

At the time, I thought it was because my father's voice was so weak... .

'It wasn't. My father didn't have much heart to pass on to me.'

Perhaps he changed his mind just before he died and said that he would pass it on to him.

Why?

Why was he trying to pass it on to Jamie a generation beyond, not himself?

'No, how did my father know before that to Jamie .'

It was as if he knew that Jamie was going to be gifted with the ability to learn catastrophe.

It was a time when Jamie had not yet come out of Sears' boat.

But how why?!

When Earl Wellton's expression grew serious, Jamie called him.

father?

There was no answer, so I called again in a loud voice.

Dad!

The Count, who came to his senses, raised his head and looked at Jamie.

It was only then that he realized that he had fallen into too deep a thought and apologized.

"I'm sorry."

no. You must be confused. But looking at his reaction, it seems that he doesn't know either."

Yes. How the hell did your grandfather know you and prepared for the tragic ceremony? Dad will have to figure this out."

There was one thing that caught on though.

A secret study that didn't pay much attention to even after becoming the head of the household.

I wondered if there might be some secret there.

Jamie also realized there was something in Earl Welton's face.

But I didn't ask right now.

This is the work of his father, Earl Wellton, himself.

And I knew that once I knew everything, I was someone I wouldn't hide from myself.

"Anyway, our Welton family have awakened similar powers from generation to generation. Don't worry, Dad will find out what the secret is.

all right.

"Rather, let's talk a little bit about the recapture of Guerin."

Yes.

* * *

The sun went down and the moon rose.

Countless stars were shining on Gerin in the blackened night sky.

But in the end it's night.

It is impossible for the moon and stars to completely remove the darkness of the night.

Taking advantage of the darkness, a series of hordes invaded Guerin.

"So when will the reinforcements arrive?"

"You said you would come in three days?"

"I'm trembling. Aren't you going to die here? shit ."

"Several times a day, a wizard flies from Aegean and casts magic, but what are you working hard on, but is that really stopping all magic?"

"But the first day was successful."

"That's when I thought I was really going to die."

"It was terrifying ."

As the soldiers of Therizia, who had occupied Guerin, stood as sentries, they recalled the past few days.

In particular, not long after Katarina's army was defeated in Aegean, the Archmages of Seldam had attacked to retake Guerin.

Fortunately, the thousands of anti-magic artifacts placed in advance of all magic had been neutralized, but at that time the entire Guerin shook as if there had been a great earthquake.

If that happens one more time, can we stop it again?

The soldiers who had no knowledge of magic honestly thought that they could not be sure.

want to go home.

"Don't say that. It's just that someone else can hear it and play the sutra."

shit. What is this because it was dragged away by force?"

stop.

The soldier who grumbled at the other soldier's bruises kicked his tongue and pouted his lips.

That was then.

A silver blade protruded through his neck.

The soldier's eyes widened, and he couldn't even scream, he had a seizure, and then stopped breathing.

ha. Because you talk like that, I want to see my wife at home too. Zen... Whoops!"

The other soldier looked at the sword protruding through his chest and made a shocked face.

He gripped the blade with his trembling hands, but soon the sword rose upwards and split his shoulder with his heart.

Two soldiers were removed in an instant.

Those wearing black masks wiped the blood off their swords and then went down.

The soldiers who had just been lamenting turned into cold corpses in the moonlight.

This was not the only thing that happened to them.

Simultaneously, the soldiers guarding the wall were assassinated by the masked men.

The masked men who neutralized the soldiers quickly removed the anti-magic artifacts fixed under the wall.

Artifacts were connected in a pile, so even if one line was cut, dozens of operations were interrupted in a chain.

"It's an intruder!"

"Catch the intruders, everyone!"

However, it seems that it was designed to give a signal when the artifact was destroyed, and Therizia's resting soldiers began to come out in droves.

But this is what I expected so far.

The masked men climbed straight up the wall.

His movements were so light, it was like a spider climbing a wall.

"Do not delay and shoot the archer squad!"

When a commander gave the command, a number of arrows flew towards the wall along with the sound of the bow string being pulled.

That was the moment.

Aaaaaaaaaaaan!!

A huge stream of flames broke through the walls of Guerin and entered the castle.

The wooden arrows were engulfed in flames and turned to ashes.

The commander who ordered the bow to shoot was astonished at the appearance of fire magic.

"Uh, how?!"

With the disappearing flames, someone gently landed on the ground from the air.

He was a tall man with impressive emerald hair, fluttering black robes.

The commander knew who he was.

"Jay, Jamie Welton."

The gate, which had not been penetrated for a full week, was broken through in an instant.

Standing in front of him, Jamie smiled and said to someone.

"I told you, Dad. It's not that difficult."

like that.

And a black masked man sat down next to him.

After that, people in similar masks sat down in a row and bowed to the two of them.

"With only the elite members of the Welton family, a place like this ."

Earl Welton, who had taken off his mask, said, waving his hair.

"You can get it back in no time."

"Let's get started."

"Did you all hear it? It's the sorcerer's order. Retake this place."

Masked men were scattered in all directions, and a wind of blood blew among the soldiers of Therizia.

It was the power of the elite knights of the Seldam Kingdom's best swordsmanship.

Jamie looked at the scene and muttered.

"Something so easy."

It means that there are no talented people in Aegean, but now it is a good thing.

The rich man walked towards the castle along the bloody path created by the elite of the Welton family.

After all, this place is only a temporary residence for the remnants of the Katarina army.

We must quickly retake such a place and prepare for the next war.

Kryon's army was soon to come.
