Chapter 115
Hanson then spoke in a voice full of firm determination.
“No matter what hardships the Master decides to endure for his patients, I’ll follow. I’m Master’s first disciple.”
Christine frowned.
The ‘first’ disciple.
The words got on her nerves in a way.
Those words offended her.
It was true that Hanson was the first disciple.
“No, I think I should be with him as his ‘best’ student.”
“You’re the noble princess, you must take care of your family’s affairs. I will protect my master.”
Lightning struck between Hanson and Christine.
Of course, Raymond, who was watching this, feels as if this is just absurd.
‘No, you fools. I just want to be a rich lord.’
“Anyway, let’s all go down.”
As he turned and trudged down the road, they met an unexpected person.
“Uh?”
“Huh?”
Brilliant silver hair.
A handsome boy with delicate expression.
It was Elmud, the boy lord he met before!
He ran into him by chance.
‘I had no idea he participated in the war. Well, since he is the son of Marquis Aris, he must participate.’
“How have you been...?”
When Raymond was halfway through his greeting, he closed his mouth.
The other person reacted in confusion.
Tears welled up in his blue eyes.
“... eh?...”
What’s wrong with him?
Why is he like this all of a sudden?
“Is there a problem?”
‘Why is he looking at me like that?’
As he took a step closer with a confused heart, the boy showed an even more incomprehensible reaction.
He clenched his teeth, turned his back, and ran away.
“...”
Raymond watched in bewilderment.
‘...Is he running away from me? Why?’
At that time, Christine, who was following, said.
“It’s the Silver Knight.”
“......what?”
What? What’s that childish nickname?
But Christine said with a serious look.
“This is one of our knights who has been making the biggest contribution recently. He took the lead in many battles and made numerous contributions. He is so brave and skillful that the soldiers from the King of Droughton calls him the ‘Silver Knight’ and eventually grow to fear him.”
Raymond opened his mouth.
Silver Knight?
‘Really? That coward?’
The image of him trembling in front of the enemy and not even being able to swing his sword is still fresh from Raymond’s mind. But now, he has turned into such a brave knight?
“That’s amazing. Not so long ago, he was called the greetest coward in the kingdom.”
“...... Do you happen to know why he changed so much?”
A cold ominousness passed by Raymond’s spine.
‘I don’t think so. That can’t be the reason he thinks now...’
But...
“I heard he is trying desperately to become a knight who will not be ashamed of the lord he wants to serve.”
“......!”
‘I don’t know who the lord he is talking about, but I think he’s a great man to change that Lord Elmud like that.’ said Hanson, who listened intently.
“But I don’t think he would be comparable to master.”
“That’s a given.”
Naturally, as if Raymond were the best, Christine and Hanson nodded together.
But Raymond couldn’t care less about the two fools.
‘He is doing that because of me? It’s going to be okay, right?’
Sigh.
Unknowingly, an ominous feeling washed over him like a tidal wave.
***
Then, Elmud, who ran away from Raymond.
“What? What is that?”
‘I heard that he is desperately trying to become a knight who won’t bring shame to the lord he wants to serve.’
‘Could it be because of me that he overexerted himself and ended up like that?’
That was very likely!
‘What such a foolish thing to do!’
Raymond clenched his fist.
‘Ugh. I didn’t mean that at all. What should I do? What if the Marquis Aris knows about this?’
His heart sank.
“He might cut my head to avenge his son!”
It wasn’t just a thought. It wa sa reality that could easily happen.
‘What should I do?’
At that time, Duke Raif asked.
“Do you mean the child of the Marquis of Aris, who is the kingdom’s greatest swordman genius?”
“Yes, it is believed that at the age of twenty, he had reached the beginning of the expert ranks.”
For reference, Elmud was twenty years old. His youthful and tender impression makes him look more like a boy.
“Is there any chance that he’s alive?”
“It’s very likely. He is an Advanced Sword Expert.”
Advanced Sword Expert.
There are only 20 strong people in the entire Kingdom of Houston.
Sword masters, those who are on the verge of becoming swordmasters.
As such, even if he fell off the cliff, he was more likely to be alive.
‘But there’s a good chance he was injured during the fall.’
Raymond sighed.
The Duke Raif also said he felt the same way.
“It’s very likely that he was badly hurt when he fell. That’s why he hasn’t been able to come back.”
“We must save him!”
“We need to send a rescue team!”
The knights raised their voices.
The Respectful Son of the Marquis of Aris.
Moreover, the greatest sword genius in the kingdom.
There were too many reasons to save him.
But Duke Raif asked coldly.
“How? How are you going to go down the cliff and search?”
The knights looked at each other.
“I think it’s going to be hard to get down with flying magic. There’s a high risk of being shot by the wizards of the fortress.”
“Then you have to go down the cliff yourself...”
Everyone was reluctant to come out in person.
You have to go down a steep slope.
It wasn’t easy, They might even have to risk their lives during the search.
Everyone was just watching, and it was the same for Raymond.
‘Ugh. What should I do? I definitely have to get him. But I can’t go there myself, right?’
It was then.

“How can I get down that cliff?! I am just a healer!’
Raymond roared inside.
This system. Often demands a ridiculous ulster.
‘Wait. But I’ve never given you an impossible quest before. Is this also possible?’ Raymond mused.
Above all, the difficulty level is ‘medium’. It meant it was difficult but worth it.
“I have to save him.”
Although he was scared of Marquis Aris, his heart was heavy at the thought that he was partly responsible for Elmud becoming like that.
“Ugh. That’s not what I meant. Why did you misunderstand?”
Raymond kept sighing.
He felt it before, he really was a genuine sweet potato.
‘Let’s think about it. How can we get this sweet potato back safely?’
