My Wife Waited in the Wheat Fields

#11 Knights (2)

High-quality manpower that is cheap.

To Elric, Moonyoung meant that.

It is said that their individual strength is not even close to their own toes, and their past is not very clean, but what does that matter?

Elric was the one who honestly thought that using all the available tools would be beneficial for both personal and mental health.

Moreover, because the past was dirty, it was even more appealing because they were assassins.

‘It will be a more reliable defense against assassination threats towards my wife.’

What if, very what if.

If someone wants to assassinate Tyria, and if he is not confident in the position, there is no one who can protect her as well as they do.

Today’s seat was created as such.

“Madam, these are the knights who will enter the estate.”

Elric returned to Portman’s mansion and introduced Wolyeong to Tyria.

Wolyeong was all roughly dressed in leather armor.

“Meet the madam.”

As Danal lowered her head, Tyria asked with a very surprised expression.

“You already saved it. Even five… .”

Is it burdensome?

There was a small hesitation in her attitude.

Anyway, it was an understandable attitude.

From noble mtl dot com

‘I must have expected one or two people.’

She was a woman who put a lot of effort into budget allocation, so such excessive spending would come as a burden.

Elric said to him.

“They say it’s okay to take less money. All of them are free knights, so it’s not like they needed a neighborhood to settle down in.”

“… Is that so?”

Suspicion flashed in her eyes.

Elric shot a lifeblood through Danal’s waist.

It meant doing something, and Danal was faithful to it.

“Greetings! Free Knight Dynan from the West! I came all the way here to be loyal to the lord and the majesty!”

thud!

Kneeling down to his knees and shouting, anyone could see that he was a reliable knight.

My physique is thin, but it’s worth it.

no, it’s rather good

If he had a good physique, Tyria’s suspicions would have grown.

“… Portman’s hostess.”

Tyria looked at Danal and was startled.

The eyes narrowed. Not only that, but he even started to make a ‘hmm’ sound.

Suddenly, Elric’s body trembled.

“Haha, why are you like that… ?”

A thief trembles at his own feet.

When Elric was extremely nervous because his heart was beating wildly, Tyria gave an answer.

“no. It just seems like a familiar face.”

“Yes?”

slap! Elric’s head turned to Danal.

Danal shook his head instead of shaking his eyes from side to side.

He seemed to be protesting that he was meeting for the first time today.

Is something wrong?

It was a moment to think.

“ah.”

Tyria’s eyes widened.

“I wondered where I’d seen it, and it looked like the person who helped me dress up in the capital city.”

“Ah-chaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

Danal shouted in a voice full of spirit.

And good! He slapped his forehead with the palm of his hand and drew a long, tearing smile.

“You got caught!”

“Uh, hmm?”

“That child, Darcy, is my sister! In fact, it was through that child that I met the lord! Isn’t that right, Yeong-joo’s name!!!”

At the exaggerated voice, Elric involuntarily nodded his head.

“No, that’s right… !”

“You can’t tell how fortunate I am to be able to meet such a benefactor thanks to my little sister! But am I that much like my sister?”

“Um, tall height and features are a bit… .”

“Ha ha ha! Yes, since childhood, Darcy has been very upset about his height! So that’s where I started learning makeup! Wow, how proud I am to see that child who has succeeded enough to dress up nobles!”

Elric was greatly impressed at that moment.

‘As expected, experts are different!’

An expert in lies, an expert in disguise, an expert in excuses!

It was also an assassin-like improvisation.

Elric’s confidence in Danal was rising a little more.

“anyway! I wish you well!”

thud!

Let Danal kneel down,

“Please take good care of me!!!”

Kugu Palace!

The subordinates standing behind him also slammed their knees as if they would break their knee joints.

Elric and Tyria’s eyes collided.

Elric grinned.

“Isn’t that trustworthy?”

“… Yes, it is very reliable.”

subtle trembling.

Tyria didn’t seem very trustworthy.

Whatever it was, the recruitment was successful in the end.

Wolyeong’s contract was confirmed in writing, and all that was left was the swearing-in ceremony of these knights and some preparations for it.

“Nice job. The improvisation was also good.”

Elric was happy to congratulate Wolyeong.

Danal bowed his head deeply and responded.

“It’s all thanks to the elder’s grace.”

“Haha, what did I do?”

“I mean.”

“hmm?”

“… it’s nothing.”

did i hear it wrong

Elric rubbed his ears and said.

“First of all, we should get a full plate before the swearing-in ceremony. I won’t go far… Yes, there is a craftsman in Yubin who knows how to make armor, so I will go find him.”

Elric felt strangely welcome even as he spat out the words.

Old Man Herman at the forge was the one who was in charge of the arms of Sir Zig, the last knight of Yubin.

When Elric was a child, whenever he had free time, he spent the day visiting his blacksmith’s shop and appreciating the armor he had made.

-Hey man, your armor wears out.

– How are you? I’m looking at the armor I’m going to wear later.

-What kind of armor would you wear, did a knight look so easy?

-I can do it. Because you’re so talented!

– Who said that?

– Master!

-Oops, what does that bandit know?

He was an old man who mainly grumbled and talked, but looking back, there were few people who treated him as well as Herman.

– Eat this. Bakery Mern baked it for me.

– What is it, salt bread? I’m tired of this

– If you give it to me, keep your mouth shut and eat it. There are many things to argue about!

Elric could feel a giggle coming out of him when he thought of him.

I heard that they were still working in the same forge.

“Then let’s go.”

Elric went straight to the cane.

About 20 minutes after getting on the carriage.

After entering the village through the wheat fields and coming out of the outskirts for a bit, I immediately saw a shabby blacksmith’s shop.

kang-!

kang-!

The sound of hitting metal was nostalgic.

“Are you there?”

Danal asked in doubt, and Elric gave the answer straight away.

“Your skills are certain. No one around here has made more armor than the old man.”

Saying this, Elric entered the forge.

“Herman inspiration!”

Then the noise stopped.

“Yes?”

An old voice rang out.

Before long, a large, clumsy old man came out of the smithy.

An old man with a messy beard and black charcoal marks all over his body.

Old Herman’s eyes widened.

“kid?”

“Long time no see. You came to me too late.”

“No, is that kid right? Come and see!”

Old Man Herman personally approached the subject he told him to come and touched Elric’s body here and there.

Elric chuckled.

It was because of old Herman, who was still taller than himself.

This was well over 2 meters.

“Even though I’m so tall, I’m shorter than you.”

“Huh… !”

A sigh escaped Herman’s mouth.

“This ugly bastard came back alive and well… !”

Even though he spoke as if he wanted to die, his eyes were full of warmth.

He hugged Elric.

“Good come back. Welcome back!”

Elric suddenly felt the tip of his nose tingle.

“I’m glad you seem to have corrected it.”

“Yes, you speak more like the old man.”

“There is a reason.”

“It is a rich year.”

It was a happy reunion.

*

Old Herman’s forge was as it was in Elric’s memory.

An anvil, a brazier, and a workroom and table a short distance from there.

Elric sat down at the table and spoke to Herman.

“I am now the lord here.”

“You made a fuss about becoming a knight, but in the end you are a lord.”

Am I regretting it a little?

Elric laughed softly.

“What can I do when things turn out that way? Should I say ministers, I recruited Ichi as my knights. I needed someone to make armor for me, so I found inspiration.”

Herman’s gaze turned to Wolyeong.

The old man, who narrowed his eyes and examined their physique, said in a slightly dissatisfied voice.

“Why is your physique like that? Did you choose well?”

“… Even if I look like this, mana is a bit bitter?”

All day, she cried, she said.

Herman snorted.

“A knight has a healthy body first. Where are you going to rely on mana? Man, did you pick these guys well?”

“That’s right, don’t worry. Even if you look at me like this, I have a little bit of an eye for people.”

“If it were you, I wouldn’t stop it… .”

After saying that, Old Man Herman licked his lips and looked at Wolyeong again.

That was the moment.

From noble mtl dot com

“grandfather! I’m here… .”

A young voice resounded throughout the forge.

Elric turned his head to identify the owner of the voice.

At that moment, it hardened.

“uh! Brother Elric!”

“Here comes our grandson! Hey man, do you remember? The kid who was four years old when you left was that big.”

Herman’s grandson Veron.

A child who was only 4 years old when he left.

now 15 years old

But that was it.

Even though it was a friendly face, it didn’t come to my mind.

Of course, I couldn’t say hello.

It wasn’t a problem with Veron itself.

-Kasha!!!

A child soldier was overlapping Veron’s face.

“… Hey man, why are you doing this?”

Elric’s breathing quickened slightly.
