Swordmaster's Youngest Son Chapter 456

Published at 4th of February 2022 11:58:05 AM

I immediately took a walk to a temporarily arranged healing room in the basement of the mansion.

It was no different from having a healing room underground. It was because the poison of Zephyrin in the black knight's body contaminated the air.

When I opened the door leading to the basement, I could smell the acrid smell. It was the smell that Kuzan smelled from the black knight because he had spread the poison from the black knight.

"You're here, Confucius."

Kuzan said with a tired face. Next to it were the top healers sent by Laney and the ghostly band of vultures collapsed exhausted.

It's been almost 15 days since the New Year began. Now that the knight has just woken up, they have not been able to fall asleep properly.

"Jet, take the healers to the stable. And this month, increase the amount of gold to the Holy Land fivefold."

Five times the usual figure accounts for more than 30 percent of the Sung nation's annual budget, but there was no need to worry about money.

The bigger the issue about gin, the more things at the top of the gilt are sold like hot cakes. Looking back on Lani's recent activities, it is not a waste to give her 50 times as much as five times.

Shortly after the article that Runkandel the 12th rider had received the Black King, the marchers at the top of the goldfish smelled money like a ghost.

The company has started selling products called "Heukryong Murakan Limited Edition Cosmetics" in high-end and general-type models.

Even the golden snowflakes were deliberately limiting their sales volume to increase the value of limited editions. Therefore, stores have been stretched out in long lines of customers day after day, and limited editions have been traded at prices dozens of times the cost on the black market.

Then those who could not get the limited edition flocked to other products. Products such as air fresheners, soap, and indoor shoes with images of gin and Murakan.

All that was selling like hot cakes, so money was pouring in like a waterfall.

"Yay, sir!"

"Kuzan, you should go up and get some rest, too. You can take a couple of days off somewhere quiet with Veris

"I'll go on vacation after the construction, Confucius."

"By the way, Kuzan is a workaholic too, hehe. Then let's have a quick drink tonight. I'll ask my Lord Valkas and Lord Rata, too."

Kuzan, Jet and Healers escaped from the cellar.

a squeaking sound

When I opened the door, I saw a black knight sitting on the bed.

As I heard from Quikantel on the way, he hasn't kept himself well yet. However, since the detoxification was over, only medicine, stability, and time were needed.

"Black Knight."

As Jean approached him, the knight slowly raised his head.

He looked as if he had just awakened from a dream. Even the ten strong bodies have been so strong that they have been through their bodies for 15 days that their spirits have not returned.

"No, you don't mind calling me Docs McLoran, do you?"

Dox MacLoran.

It was a name he found out while he fainted.

The exact personal information of the black knight could not be obtained under the authority of a 12-year-old. Only when they are recognized as fourth-term players or equivalent in rank can they access the personal information of active black drivers.

But in order to find out the name of the Dox, this time there was no need to ask anyone else in the family for information, as was the case with Barton.

It was because he was a member of Gilly's family.

"12 flag..."

Dox glanced around his lips. He looked for weapons reflexively, but his arms and legs were pounding. It was a specially-made chain that was tied up in case of emergency.

Jean freed the chains.

"I've never imagined that a black knight would be this defenseless. You will, too."

Dox just stared at Jean without saying anything.

One thing was not to choose what to answer, but to clean up the poison left in your body. It was also a time to recall past memories that I had not looked back on since I just woke up.

What the hell is going on? God damn it, the black helmet looks like this.…!'

Zephyrin, until the moment I was ambushed by the strange mercenary, I clearly remembered.

My body trembled again when I remembered the chilling sensation of a sudden purple nail piercing through my body.

However, the situation afterwards was a chaotic memory like broken glass.

'I had lost consciousness immediately because of the poison I had never experienced. The mercenary continued to attack me, and was unable to stop it because of the poison. I thought he was dead.'

In fact, if it had not been for the Jin group, the Dox would have died neatly when additional attacks followed after the raid.

'Then... ... suddenly a strange space was formed, and the twelve riders, the Murakan, and the leader of the Black King, covered me in battle.'

Twelve jockeys saved me. Dox was able to reach such a conclusion without difficulty.

So why the hell? Dawes later did not know how the battle between Jin's party, the Black Royal Army and Zephyrin was carried out.

And if you're powerful enough to end yourself with a single blow, it's absolutely difficult for a 12-time rider and a guardian to fight while covering yourself.

Thus the 12-time rider should have deserted himself and fled. In particular, the 12th-term player is in sharp conflict with the second-term runner, which is all the more so.

"Beyond the confrontation with the second-term, did you think that was the judgment for the family? If you've used the Black Royal Army as a shield, it's possible, but...….'

The 12th rider risked his life to save himself, so to speak, for his family? Even though it is an act of helping a second rider?

A sudden headache and a sudden headache seized the head by the Dox.

"큭..."...!

"Don't try to force your venom away. I don't even think about torturing you for information about the second rider or holding you prisoner, so relax."

Chin pulled the chair and sat in front of the Dox.

"Of course, you won't be able to open the black knight's mouth with torture, and if you take him prisoner, Joshua won't save you."

"Did you, have you saved me?"

"Yes. Me, Murakhan, and the Black Kings fought the monster and guarded you.”

"Whoo."

"After the escape, King Seong himself treated you at my request."

Up to that point, it was a development that was difficult for the Dox to imagine. No one in Looncandel doesn't know the relationship between Jean and Laney.

But the next moment Jean said, Dox had no choice but to flinch with his eyes wide open, wondering what a black knight's face was.

"But even Laney couldn't cure you completely. So we opened the eternity warehouse and used one of the last numerus blood droplets left in the Holy Land."

Coughing! Hahaha!

Dox was so perplexed that he almost coughed. It was the first time I had coughed in this way since I became a black knight.

"You'd know best about yourself who was in that extreme poison. No matter how great the Holy Spirit of King Seong is, it wasn't a cureable poison. Even with the blood droplets of Numerus, you woke up almost 15 days later."

"Ha, like that."

"Do you think it's a lie?"

Jean said, making eye contact with the Dox.

Of course, it was a lie.

Numerus' blood had never been used. The Docks had been restored solely to Laney's divine power and the power of the Holy Land.

But for the Dox, there was no doubt. As Jean said, it was not strange to think that poison could not be cured unless it was just a drop of blood from Numerus. I've never used it, and no one can tell me who saw what was used.

"Why on earth? I can thank you as a member of the family, but do you think I'll swear allegiance to you for using such a new thing?”

It was a black knight. The black pitches weren't shallow enough to betray the main army just because the opponent was a lifesaver.

Then Jean burst into a giggle. Jin didn't mean it for that either, but he brought it up because it was a lie that would never hurt to just do it.

"Loyalty? Well, I didn't expect that to happen. Let's look at this and talk about it."

Jean pounced on a bundle of newsletters.

These were the newsletters of Joshua's pens, with articles praising Qin and Murakhan.

'What the hell is this? They are definitely second-term journalists. You mean the second rider ordered you to publish the article in this tone? Besides, nowhere in the article is there a story about Zephyrin. It's full of stories about the 12th Su and Sooho-ryong taking over the Black Kings.'

As soon as I opened my eyes, I was filled with things that I couldn't understand.

But what these articles meant was clear.

It's not the result of a 12-year-old using me to trade with a 2-year-old. The second rider thinks I'm dead. And even if you put wings on the 12th rider, you've decided that this is the way for the family.'

Dox thought he knew Joshua better than anyone else.

It wasn't very wrong. After joining Joshua with the consent of the patriarch and acting governor, he has always been served by his closest aides as a black knight.

"You don't need me to explain why Joshua published these articles, do you?”

"......I get it. Zephyrn ran away, and you stole the ball that brought down the Black Kings. The second rider didn't know that, so he published this article."

"Exactly, but nothing will change if you tell Joshua the existence of Zephyrin. And even if we go back, Joshua will no longer trust you."

That's what Jean thinks Joshua was.

Once out of his control, he doesn't trust again whatever the reason is.

The knight, who thought he was dead, returns and tells the story of a new soldier in the Black Royal Army who blitzed him and the 12th rider saved him.…?

For Joshua, it's a setback in his calculations. He's already taken advantage of the family's prestige and practicality at the risk of losing one black knight. Most of all, trusting a black knight who was saved by me is impossible.'

The loss of a black knight is indescribably painful, but the family should make the most of its profit from this incident.

What Joshua said while talking to Howard.

Jean didn't hear it herself, but the calculations for Joshua were exactly right.

"... ...think as you please. What are you going to do with me now?"

"What do you expect? I'll send it back to Joshua. Whether he trusts you again, or not. Because you won't betray Joshua anyway. Joshua and I are at war of rank, but in a broad sense you are the most important force in the family. That's why we used new products to save them."

"Are you serious?"

"Yes. I mean it. But before that, I need to get paid for saving your life. Before you go to Joshua, as soon as your body recovers, try to carry out only one of my orders."

Dox looked up at Jean.

Suddenly, I couldn't quickly figure out what the 12th rider was thinking.

"I'll let you know if you will carry out the order or not. But if you don't answer...... After I have the family hegemony, it will be up to me no matter how I look at you."

"You sound like you're going to be a patriarch.”

"You don't know about people, do you? What are you going to do? It's not a difficult order, so it's nothing for the black knight's life."

For the Dox, there was no reason to refuse immediately.

If Jean changed her attitude after refusing, there was no answer.

It's not too late to decide whether or not the order should be carried out once it has recovered and left here.

"Okay, take it. Tell me what the order is."

Jean grinned at the horse.

"Richalton, a city in southern Hufester province, as soon as it recovers, head there. And get to the bottom of what's going on in Lycalton."

Lycalton.

It was supposed to be Joshua's place to supply "human materials" for his cloning.
