Chapter 1213
Episode 1213. Please be mindful of your parents’ feelings too.
People change when they go through a big deal.
So did the Andrea Jeter family, who were suddenly caught up in a kidnapping case.
His wife, Shine Cowles, was always wary of his surroundings, and the curious Sinclair Jeter kept his mouth shut.
For a while after leaving the Algorithm, the carriage Elio and the others rode in was quiet.
After passing through several territories, the carriage finally entered the Principality of Avaland.
After passing the Principality of Avalant, it was the Principality of Fatima, so they were halfway to their destination.
Principality of Avalant.
Countess of Xavier.
around dusk.
Three carriages and guards entered the city where Count Xavier’s castle was located.
These are the wagons that departed from Fiestra.
Seeing the bustling city made Shine Cowleslow and Synclair Jeter shrink even more.
It was as if the nightmare of the abduction had relived.
Transport manager Leon Toros approached Andrea Jeter and told her to ‘stay within sight of the guards, just in case’.
Of course, it was conscious of the gaze of the great aristocratic adventurer, but Andrea Jeter accepted it with special consideration from the transportation manager.
Three wagons stopped in front of an old, old tavern.
In time, guards herded eighteen passengers into a tavern.
Every city has a tavern contracted with the Stagecoach Transport Association, but it’s easy to get lazy when you run a monopoly.
Half of the passengers went to another restaurant saying it looked dirty and unclean.
In the end, only passengers who wanted to move with the guards or did not want to work were left in the restaurant guided by the guards.
If Andrea Jeter’s family was the former, Elio’s party belonged to the latter.
During the 15 days of companionship, the relationship between Andrea Jeter’s family and Elio’s party has improved a lot.
In the case of Synclare Jeter, if Elio and the others met eyes by chance, he would stare at them.
It was like that even now.
Elio, who was drinking tea after dinner, immediately asked a young girl as he stared at him.
“why?”
Shine Cowles didn’t stop the conversation between her daughter and the adventurer, as if her vigilance had weakened after the 15-day walk.
“Are you an adventurer?”
“uh.”
“Are adventurers strong?”
“It’s not enough to protect yourself.”
Then Fabian sneaked in.
“Little boy, this man is incredibly strong.”
Synchronous Jeter turned to Fabian.
“So you can defeat the bad guys too?”
“of course.”
“What do I have to do to become an adventurer?”
“Of course you should learn swordsmanship or magic. Do you want to be an adventurer too?”
“I will be your adventurer and defeat the bad guys.”
“Is that what the security forces do? You should go to the police force, not an adventurer.”
“The police station is a scary place.”
“Aren’t you afraid of adventurers?”
“yes.”
Then Fabian said with a slightly puzzled face.
“He sees adventurers as very watery. Adventurers are also scary people.”
“Aren’t you afraid?”
“Do you know how scary I am?”
When Fabian tried to talk nonsense, Elio slapped him on the back with the palm of his hand.
“Stop it, man. My heart breaks every time you talk.”
“Can’t you even joke?”
“Don’t do it. you’re a bit unlucky The horse must have become a seed.”
Then Count Larva Omar nodded as if he agreed.
“I too believe his mouth has the ability to bring disaster.”
“Sir Omar, I am not that good. It was just a coincidence. It’s unfair.”
Fabian complained, but it didn’t work for Elio and Count Omar of Larva.
Synclare Jeter looked at the adventurers with an interested face.
Certainly, unlike the security forces, the adventurers were like villagers.
As she first encountered adventurers, she quite liked Elio and his party’s free-spirited appearance.
Synchronous Jeter tapped the brass cup placed in front of Elio with a spoon.
Elio glanced at her and she said.
“Did you learn swordsmanship? Did you learn magic?”
“both.”
“Are you a magic swordsman?”
Synclare Jeter’s eyes widened.
Even the 12-year-old girl seemed to know what a magic swordsman was.
“uh.”
Elio’s tone was blunt, but he didn’t interrupt the flow of the conversation.
In the past, I might have avoided the seat, but somehow it reminded me of my daughter.
“Magic swordsman… isn’t it difficult?”
The young Synclair Jeter was oblivious to the knowledge he had picked up.
Then Shine Cowleslaw warned her daughter.
“I’m not saying that because I don’t know Sinclair well.”
“Yes, I am sorry.”
Just in time, the quiet tavern was crowded as passengers who had left their seats in search of another restaurant returned one by one.
Then Andrea Jeter and his wife looked around to check the location of the guards.
In the meantime, Synchronous Jeter quietly spoke to Elio.
“Adventurer Mister. Where did you learn swordsmanship and magic?”
“Swordsmanship is a house, magic is a temple.”
“Yes? Did you learn swordsmanship at home? Are you a noble?”
“No, there was a knight among my ancestors. His swordsmanship has come down.”
“Are you famous?”
“No one knows. A knight in the countryside. why? Do you want to learn swordsmanship too?”
“yes. You have to learn to be an adventurer.”
“hmm.”
Elio glanced at Synclair Jeter – just as nonpartisan elders had done to him in the past.
But to be honest, I don’t know what’s good or bad even now, at the level of a half-god.
‘Is it as long as my limbs are fine and my eyes aren’t blurry?’
By his standards, Synclare Jeter wasn’t bad.
His limbs looked nimble, and his eyes were as bright as a child’s.
“Hey Mister…”
“Why?”
“no.”
When the kid turned around, Elio leaned his upper body forward.
He hated being bothered, but when the kid stopped talking, it seemed like he didn’t wipe his back after doing his errands.
“What? say it.”
“no, I do not want. I won’t talk.”
Synchronous Jeter vigorously shook his head from side to side.
When this happened, Elio somehow wanted to hear what the kid was trying to say.
“If you tell me, I will give you one copper.”
“Because I have ten coppers? Rather, please listen to my request. Then I will tell you.”
“Hmm, listen to me if you can. say it.”
“Did you promise?”
“uh. tell me quickly I will run out of breath.”
“Teach me swordsmanship.”
“…”
At that moment, Elio backed away with a disapproving face.
I knew it wasn’t a big deal, but it was an unexpected remark.
Synclare Jeter said as if to explain.
“That was what I was trying to say. Can I ask you a favor now?”
“I’ll tell you in advance, but I can’t teach you swordsmanship or magic. There is no time to teach.”
“Teach me swordsmanship. If you don’t have time, even a little is fine.”
“…”
Elio let out a long sigh at the boy’s persistent request.
At times like this, it really annoys me that I am a speech practitioner.
Belatedly, Shine Cowleslaw, the mother, heard her daughter’s words and hurried out.
“Sinkrare, what are you talking about? no. What swordsmanship are you learning? Don’t bully the busy adventurer and stay still. If you want to learn swordsmanship, I’ll send you to the academy. Never mind, adventurer. The child is still young and does not know what to say.”
She believed that swordsmanship and magic should be learned at the academy.
Why did you learn that important thing from a wandering adventurer!
‘If I want to correct my posture at the academy later, only Synclare will suffer.’
When Shine Cowleslow jumped up and tried to dissuade him, Synclair Jeter didn’t insist anymore.
But I didn’t know about Shine Cowles or Synclare Jeter.
To Elio, a promise was a sacred ritual that even the emperor of the empire could not stop.
“I will guide your daughter in swordsmanship until she arrives in the Principality of Fatima.”
“yes? are you okay. You’re busy, but you don’t have to. Sinkrare, tell me it’s okay.”
Sinkrare reluctantly opened her mouth at her mother’s insistence.
“are you okay. You don’t have to teach me.”
“No, I am not fine. I must keep the words that come out of my mouth. So, I will teach you swordsmanship until you reach the station in the Principality of Fatima.”
When Elio spoke with a straight face, Shine Cowlesro stabbed her husband, Andrea Jeter, in the side.
When his wife desperately opposed it, even Andrea Jeter stepped in.
“Adventurer. You can’t teach me. These are the words of an immature child, so let them go in one ear. I’m still young, so I don’t know what it means to teach swordsmanship.”
“The child may have said this without knowing what it was, but I am an adult who promised it. I can’t change the promise I made, so I have to teach you. Even the emperor cannot make me change my promise.”
When Elio straightened up, Shine Cowles was stunned.
When an adventurer who only rode the wagon of the Stagecoach Transportation Association attracted the emperor to a promise with a child, the desire to entrust him even more disappeared.
‘If I say nice things, they won’t listen.’
She decided to use a slightly harsher method.
“Thank you, but the foundation is important in anything. I plan to teach my child properly from the basics at the swordsmanship academy of the Principality of Fatima. I don’t mean to disparage the adventurer’s swordsmanship, but I think the academy is better than the adventurer’s. Please consider the feelings of parents who want to give their children the best.”
Elio didn’t answer Katabuta.
Guards rallied the passengers when Andrea Jeter tried to refuse once more.
“I will tell you where to stay from now on.”
Fortunately, the tavern was assigned a room by family or companion.
The Andrea Jeter family ran away as soon as they were assigned a room.
Elio and his party were also given a large room for the three of them to stay.
Fabian said to Elio, who was sitting on the bed and pondering over the swordsmanship instruction.
“Hey, I’m just asking this out of curiosity. Why is Count Lagoa so obsessed with promises? Isn’t it possible for a person to go against it as long as he lives? In the case of the kid from a while ago, if the parents oppose it like that… it can’t be regarded as a broken promise, can it?”
“Words are the ability to create something out of nothing. lets think. Sorcerers’ magic is also rooted in words. I heard from Sir Cillian Hale before that the more confident he is in his words, the stronger the wizard. That’s why wizards don’t lie. As for me, the stronger the weight of the horse, the stronger the magic power. That’s why I don’t make promises often, but when I do, I try to keep them.”
“Shouldn’t I ever learn magic?”
“Were you trying to learn?”
“I was a bit coveted for the magic you did at the General Store in Algorithm.”
“By the way, that magic is polar with you.”
“I also don’t want to learn by giving up my freedom of speech.”
Despite hearing Fabian’s shameless remarks, Elio did not criticize him.
Fabian, who was scratching his head with a puzzled face, quickly changed the topic.
“By the way, can you teach when your parents are against you so badly?”
“Education is inherently difficult.”
“It seems that there are many times when Count Lagoa’s words strangely contradict each other. Is it a matter of interpretation?”
“It is a matter of your heart.”
Elio sprawled out on the bed.
right.
It’s a matter of the heart.
When I see Synchronous Jeter, I keep thinking of my daughter and wanting to give her something.
