Chapter 51

My Reflector Is Invincible 5151. The Most Important Thing

The ducal family was going crazy.

Visitors were pouring into the family.

The ducal family was shocked.

They were breathless at each name on the list.

“They say the king sent the crown prince himself.”

“No way… Prince Albert? He’s the favorite to be the next king!”

Edmer was a country to which the Sword King had sworn allegiance.

The crown prince of such a country had sent a document stating his visit.

The next list was even more breathtaking.

“Ca… Cardinals are coming. The bishop of Edmer territory has personally requested permission to visit.”

“……Cardinals of which temple?”

“All eight temples!”

“What?”

What about the cardinals of the eight temples that held the majority of the believers on the continent?

They had the authority and holiness to ignore even the empire.

The only time all eight cardinals of the eight temples moved at once was for the empire’s coronation ceremony.

They were that important.

In addition, the eight temples had military power with thousands of paladins and tens of thousands of priests.

The Saintess was also included in that force.

Even for the Edmer ducal family of the Sword King, they were not easy to meet.

But the empire had also sent someone.

“Report! The third prince of the Lars Empire, the next in line to the throne, Jurein, has sent a request to visit!”

“Ryart of the Thunder Wall, one of the five great generals! It is said that he will visit with the third prince Jurein as his escort knight!”

He was a prince and a great general, one of the heirs to the throne.

Of course, humans were not the only ones who recognized the seriousness of the situation.

[Centaurs of the Plains]

[Beasts of the Forest]

[Dwarves of the Underground]

[Gnomes of Development]

[Hobbits of Peace]

Each of the races that were famous on the continent sent a list.

It was a message that high-ranking members of each race would visit the Edmer ducal family.

The fact that those who would normally not even participate in human affairs were sending lists made it natural for the ducal family’s chief butler to turn pale.

But the herald had more news.

“New visitors. They are requesting permission to visit the duchy.”

“Who is it!”

“It is Duke Basteron. His ironclad knights have come with him as well.”

“……!”

The Knight King rules over the northern part of the Kingdom of Elhaim.

Duke Basteron was one of the four great nobles who ruled over the eastern part of the Kingdom of Elhaim. He and Duke Edmer usually growled at each other, unable to stand the sight of one another.

But even those who fought politically sent out their messengers. It meant that dozens, even hundreds of factions were gathering.

This could lead to problems.

The nobles and rulers were overbearing beings. That was because someone could definitely cause an accident.

But surprisingly, no accidents occurred.

The new majordomo of the ducal house wondered about it, but he heard unexpected news from the messengers.

“Actually, there is something a little strange, Majordomo.”

“What is it?”

“It’s something I heard from another messenger, but it is said that the faces of each faction were pale and urgent.”

“Hmm? Isn’t it just because someone might take the place of the master first?” seaʀᴄh thё Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Rather than that, it seems like they were scared of something……”

Juyeon nodded at their conversation.

It seemed that the Thieves Guild and the Assassins Guild had done their job properly.

Juyeon had approached them through the Knight King and had definitely left them with a warning.

-Whoever it may be, those who harm the House of Edmer cannot become my master.

That warning had definitely worked.

Those who came to the Edmer Dukedom were all high-ranking nobles.

Those people couldn’t defy Juyeon’s words. It was obvious that they wanted to be the勇者’s master.

Of course, they weren’t nobles who would be scared by mere words.

The Thieves Guild and the Assassins might have done something else.

‘Well, maybe they brought a bloody skull to their bedside?’

They used to do that in the past.

Anyway, he liked the thrill.

Well, it was natural.

The request that Juyeon made to the Thieves Guild and the Assassins Guild in the name of the Knight King was special.

‘It’s a limited request that surpasses special.’

Usually, the guilds had ranks for requests.

[First-class]

[Intermediate]

[Advanced]

[Special]

Special was a request that was hard to request even with a lot of money. However, the limited rank couldn’t be used even with money.

It was a special right that the guild leader could only use a few times in their life.

Juyeon had used the right that only the Great Thief and the Assassin could use, surpassing the special rank.

‘It’s the right that the Great Thief and the Assassin gave to the勇者 in return for saving their lives in the past.’

If someone qualified made a limited request, the Thieves Guild and the Assassins Guild had to process the request with the highest priority, putting everything aside.

It was a promise that they would definitely do it, putting the guild’s face and honor on the line.

And the勇者 handed that right over to the Knight King.

Joo-Yeon made up his mind.

‘Most warriors die fighting the Demon King. On the other hand, the survival rate for knights is over 80 percent.’

He couldn’t help it for the next game.

Because the authority given by the Greatsword and the Reaper was more useful than he thought.

In fact, on the day the restriction request arrived.

The Thieves Guild and the Assassins Guild were in an uproar.

“A… a restriction request! From the Knight King!”

“Wh… what? Who’s requesting this?”

“The Knight King! The comrade of the Warrior, the request of the undefeated knight! He used the authority of the Greatsword!”

“……!?”

Moreover, the fact that the Knight King was asking for help from the back-alley professions had another effect.

Of course, it was a request from ‘that’ Knight King.

A pedantic knight among knights who never compromised with injustice.

A noble knight who never forgave those who sinned.

He was a man who had never used his authority once in his entire life.

If he had sent a restriction request, it must have been a groundbreaking event.

They had to do it no matter what, in the name of the thieves and assassins.

Joo-Yeon had expected it.

‘Their reputation will go up as well.’

What would those guys do to heed Joo-Yeon’s warning?

It was something he could easily predict without even thinking about it.

Anyway, thanks to the Knight King’s restriction request, people from all over the place who had heard rumors of Joo-Yeon were gathering.

The dukedom became lively with the influx of people.

“If you’re looking for a warm inn, there’s the Baram Inn!”

“We have a delicious restaurant! It’s much tastier and cheaper than the one next door!”

“Ours is cheaper! The other one doesn’t taste good!”

The market was also rapidly revitalizing.

There were even people who were converting their private houses into inns because there were so many guests.

Money and gold poured into Edmer’s territory.

No matter how much of a northern metropolis it was, it was a quiet place with few visitors.

It was unbelievable that it was now full of people.

Haken was genuinely surprised.

“This is truly amazing.”

It was unbelievable that this quiet village had become so crowded.

And it was all thanks to a single plan.

“It’ll be like this for a while.”

“But did you really have to do this?”

He wondered if he shouldn’t have provoked the Knight King and done something he didn’t want to do, like advertising.

However, Joo-Yeon didn’t think so.

“It was necessary.”

The Knight King’s power needed to be broken.

At the same time, it would be good for him if the North, which would become his background, became stronger.

Why?

‘It compensates for the damage the North has suffered so far.’

It would be difficult if the guys who would become his solid backing were weak.

Anyway, it was not something that he would have to pay for.

‘Since he doesn’t even know that the Knight King has been decided as his teacher, those who want the position of teacher will come and fight a lot.’

Joo-yeon and the Knight King just had to receive what they gave.

If they scratched their pride, they would give more on their own.

However, Hak-yeon still asked with a look of curiosity.

“But where are you going now?”

“I told you. I have something to do.”

“No, what is that thing you have to do?”

“I’m going to the Goblin Bank.”

“Th… The Goblin Bank?”

Hak-yeon’s face was filled with shock.

“Why are you going to that area of crazy people obsessed with money?”

Hak-yeon was right to be surprised.

The goblins’ bank was a place where the storage fee was more expensive than the interest given.

It was a place that even some nobles would not dare to go.

“It’s not a suitable place to store the treasures I found in the Lord’s vault. You might as well leave it to the Thieves Guild! They won’t openly stab you in the back there.”

“I’m not really trying to store it?”

“Then why…”

“Of course I’m going to find my stuff.”

“What?”

Hak-yeon made a face of incomprehension.

A man who had been a slave until now had something to find in the Goblin Bank?

Was there something that the Knight King secretly gave him?

Of course, he and the Edmer family had given him a lot.

One could tell just by looking at the various treasures and rights that were transferred in Joo-yeon’s name.

However, it was not in Joo-yeon’s name.

‘Those knights who only think about honor.’

The Knight King was a man who relied on his strong body and traveled the continent with only a single sword.

The Edmer family’s treasure vault was full of only weapons and armor.

Most of them were things that would take a long time to turn into cash.

‘Even that is something I don’t really need right now.’

He had the [Unnamed God’s Shield] and the [Holy Sword], which surpassed that.

Of course, the Holy Sword was purely symbolic.

‘It’s a symbol that I’m a hero. I need more divine items to use this guy properly.’

The shield could be used, but the conditions were the problem.

Every time it was used, jewels continued to be used, so his pockets were becoming too light.

He was going to go to the bank to charge it and also to the bank.

Of course, there was another big reason.

‘There are good materials in the water, so I should use them.’

The wings that contained the power of the Demon Tribe.

It was to create an item using it as a material.

In particular, if it was a wing with the power of the ‘North Wind’, it would be an object with a useful mobility skill.

The materials to make that item were in his bank vault.

That was the reason for going to the Goblin Bank.

‘Of course, it might not be there, but it’s worth checking.’

The Witch’s Diary and the Knight King’s [Limited] request were successful, so he hoped for this as well.

‘No, it has to be there.’

It was because of the issue of choosing a job.

‘I have to decide on a job soon.’

Otherwise, he would hit a wall.

Above all, he needed a job to strengthen his reflexes.

‘The most important item for getting a job was obtained from Hunter Jack.’

The rest of the materials were in the bank.

To be exact, it was the materials to enter the place where the job was.

So, even for the job he had in mind, he needed to have his belongings in the bank.

And if possible, it would be nice to have ‘those’ items as well.

It was the belongings of his former colleagues.

That was actually the most important thing.

‘I wonder if they’re there?’

So, he had no choice but to go to the bank for now.
