I Became a Swordsmanship Instructor in Romance Fantasy

132. Laios Mountains (2)

“Huh… … .”

Exclamation leaked out, not knowing whether it was admiration or surprise.

The Duke of Joheiden was making a stupid expression with his eyes wide open and his mouth wide open.

Have you ever been so surprised in your life?

There was no

Even when Zeke Kleiman intuited to cut the terrible monster into small pieces of flesh, he was not quite astonished.

First, Zeke Clayman told me to prepare to go to the Laios Mountains immediately after eating.

Until I brought a pile of bread

I thought it was the fact that extraordinary people who are different from others often do not understand ordinary people.

However, what is this scene unfolding in front of my eyes right now?

“Mo, I feel better… … !”

“Breathing has become easier… … .”

“… … Poetry, my God… … . thank you… … .”

“Natalie, Mother… … . I think I can go back.”

Even those who seem to be out of breath soon because their energy is weakening.

Those who broke their arms and legs and wondered if they would be able to pick up a sword again

Even those coughing up blood as if their lungs had been punctured by their ribs

I just chewed and swallowed the distributed bread with water.

Stand up with a bewildered face.

And then, as one, they utter exclamations of joy.

Transparent tears flowed down his rough cheeks.

The sight of the tall men holding their hands close to their chests and praying to the sky was so foreign that it would be better to call it a dream.

Watching them recover quickly with just a loaf of bread, the Duke of Joheiden couldn’t help but murmur.

“… … Did it give you a miracle… … . Today’s event will remain as a legend of Joheiden… … .”

“no.”

Just then, Zeke, who had approached me, intervened and answered.

Then Duke Joheiden turned his head and looked at him with trembling eyes.

“Who the hell are you… … . No, it doesn’t matter… … . If this isn’t a miracle, then what is it… … .”

“I have no intention of denying the word miracle, but it is wrong to say that it was given. This is a miracle that no one gave you, but that you saved yourself.”

“You saved yourself?”

“Yes. The bread they ate only served to deceive the mind. Recovery is up to you.”

Zeke nodded his head as he observed those who were recovering health in real time.

“Do you know what the placebo effect is?”

“… … fell… … .”

“Not that.”

Zeke, not wanting to hear the words from the Duke’s mouth, hastily blocked his words.

“If you look at it now, those with broken bones or cracked bones healed quickly, but those whose body parts were completely amputated or crushed beyond recovery did not recover.”

“… … Even they stopped bleeding, and the clotted blood stopped flowing from the cut… … . If it had not been for this miracle, they would have died before today.”

“Actually, the freshly served bread has a special effect. The effect of making people think that they are already healthy… … . Of course, it is a very powerful illusion.”

If the one here was the ‘saint’ who went together on the Dave continent, it would have been possible to have a new arm grow from the amputated surface like a real miracle, but I couldn’t expect that much from Soi’s ability.

Just tricking the mind into following the body.

Soyi’s bread puts intense hypnosis on his head and deceives him that he is healthier than ever, even though his physical condition is in danger.

Such strong suggestion creates disharmony between mind and body.

The body and mind that were originally balancing and sharing information to some extent.

In such a situation, the sudden and stark disharmony.

No matter how much the body expresses its crisis situation, it cannot bring down the solidly hypnotized mind at all.

So, in order to balance, the body has no choice but to follow the spirit.

In the end, the body draws time from the future to activate the cells, and it seems to be recovering in real time due to the acceleration of self-healing that would normally have taken a long time.

Of course, bringing the future time forward to the present would have reduced life expectancy by several years, but for now, this was the best. At least it’s an incomparably better choice than dying because you can’t get treatment in time.

Despite the explanation, the awe in the Duke of Joheiden’s eyes seemed to have deepened.

“… … In the world we call it miracle download.”

“Anyway, when you’re well, let’s go.”

“… … I don’t think those who are better off will let that happen… … .”

When I glanced away, the people who had regained their health were lined up around Zeke.

The scene where he brought a huge amount of bread was seen by everyone present, so it was not unreasonable to assume that Zik was the one who healed them.

When the knights got better and came to their senses, they immediately grabbed Zeke’s hand and tried to express their gratitude, but since he was talking with the Duke of Joheiden with a serious face, they couldn’t bear to come and waited.

Zeke touched his chin with an expressionless face.

‘Wow, this is annoying… … . Just leave everything to Soi? Soyi actually did it… … . Umm, but I have to go meet the Lost Hope guys soon, so I’m reluctant to reveal my incendiary abilities here… … .’

Continuing his thoughts like that, Zeke raised the corners of his mouth and smiled mischievously.

‘Okay, then I’ll save Serena’s father.’

After thinking, Zeke turned around

chuck.

I stamped the bread on the floor.

cooong!

The eyes of the knights gathered at the loud explosion.

They looked up to Zeke with eyes filled with awe, gratitude, and respect.

“Are you feeling better now?”

“””Yes!!!!!!”””

My throat exploded at Zeke’s question, and a roaring answer came back.

The moment the knights tried to open their mouths. Zeke raised a hand to calm him down.

“Wait, I’m sorry, but I have to say this first.”

“I am not the one who saved you.”

At Zeke’s sudden remark, doubts appeared in the eyes of the knights.

“As you guys have seen, I am good at using a sword. I won’t deny that. However, fixing people is a completely different realm. Originally, a hand covered in blood cannot heal a person.”

Because Zeke had excellent skills, his words had a strange persuasive power.

One of them, a young knight, stepped forward and spoke in a confused voice.

“… … Ha, but weren’t we actually healed after eating the bread you gave us! If this isn’t your ability, who the hell is this?”

The knights agreed and nodded their heads in unison.

Zeke lowered his eyes and opened his mouth.

“Your Excellency, Duke of Joheiden.”

“… … Yes?”

The eyes of the young knight who had spoken out were shaking with confusion.

And the eyes of the Duke of Joheiden who listened to him were the same.

‘Yes? Hey, are you sleeping?’

I glanced at the Duke of Joheiden with the meaning of “Let’s talk for now,” but he only tilted his head to the side.

“… … All of this was the will of His Excellency the Duke of Joheiden. I was just carrying out that order by proxy. His Excellency was embarrassed to reveal this, but I don’t think it’s right for me to keep all this a secret and keep the glory to myself.”

‘When did I… … ?’

The Duke of Joheiden raised his eyebrows.

“His Excellency made a big decision after seeing you groaning in pain.”

“It’s a big decision… … ?”

‘Well, I made the decision to go back… … .’

Ignoring the duke’s thoughts, Sieg nodded.

“yes… … . That is, passed down in secret in Joheiden… … . The supreme elixir that can cure any disease.”

Zeke slightly controlled his breathing.

I hear the sound of gulp going down

It felt like everyone was focusing on themselves.

“Elixir.”

“Eh, Elixir!”

“Oh My God! Was that real?”

Shouting and admiration erupted here and there.

Its name was said to be a legendary elixir, but the miracle I am experiencing with my own body is literally a miracle.

It was something that could not have happened unless it was a drug with such a name.

The position of being one of the only three great dukes in the empire and the existence of magic added subtle persuasiveness to Zeke’s argument.

“Ha, but…! It’s hard to believe that such an illusory elixir really exists! As expected, it’s better to see that the hero who showed his strange powers tried to hide his achievements…!”

“What would I lie for? It was not I who healed you. Here I swear by my sword.”

Of course, what Zeke is holding is bread, not a sword.

And what really fixed it was the soy spoon.

So, I didn’t lie. lies.

After Sieg talked so far, the knights of Joheiden finally accepted Sieg’s words as they were.

“Elixir… did you mix that precious elixir with bread…”

“yes. Bondi, the Elixir can only be used by Joheiden’s direct descendant. It’s such a heavy elixir, and it’s a noble item to use when a precious person is in a serious condition. However! His Excellency, Duke of Joheiden, said that you, too, wear the crest of Joheiden, so you can be considered one family!”

Then, with trembling eyes, the knights turned their heads to the duke who was standing next to Zeke with his mouth wide open with an absurd expression.

Zeke bowed his head to the duke.

“sorry. Your Excellency asked me to keep this a secret for the rest of my life, but I couldn’t take this honor to myself for something I didn’t do. They should know too. who cured himself! And to whom I owe my life!”

“I-I…?”

“Yes, it is! Of course, I know that the Duke will be in trouble if this information leaks out. I can’t believe they are so soft-spoken. I don’t think such an unscrupulous person would be here!”

When Zeke said that, the Duke’s expression made sense.

The householder stepped forward and broke the rules of Yoheiden.

It was an act that could seriously damage the status of a huge family duke.

Since this was disclosed by Zeke Kleiman without his consent, he could not contain his absurdity.

However, those who found out about it.

The knights who were saved by the elixir that the duke used while violating even the heavy family principles.

Tzarrr—

A shudder emanating from the bones and spreading throughout the body.

Thick tears flowed down the rough faces of the knights.

These are the ones who have silently performed the duty of knights as the Knights of Joheiden.

Of course, compared to other knights, they were treated better and took pride in being respected, but

Still, if his loyalty was enough to give his life to Joheiden without any discernment, that was a question to ponder.

It was because my life was the most important to anyone, even those who had been training their swords all their lives.

However, to think that his master was thinking of him like this.

“““Go, Your Excellency!”””

Knights searching for their masters with thrilled voices.

Everyone here, even those who had their lives saved and those who were not saved, were all thinking the same thing.

The extraordinary family love of the Duke of Joheiden, who is already famous in the archipelago.

There was no one who did not know how much the Duke of Joheiden valued his family.

The Joheiden Knights are a mixture of commoners and low-class nobles, and compared to the duke’s direct lineage, they are a very low class.

However, the duke called them family without hesitation and generously bestowed them with such a precious elixir.

What can I do for him?

A life saved once by this Duke of Joheiden.

I will give my lifelong loyalty to this lowly life, the ducal family.

They died once today and were reborn today.

As a true knight of the great Duke of Joheiden.

dump.

chuck.

The captain of the knights knelt down on one knee

He drew his sword and put it on the floor.

good.

good.

good.

The others followed suit and fell to one knee.

A huge wave of sincere loyalty covered the plain.

And the Duke of Joheiden, who became the object of his loyalty… … .

‘What is this!’

It was fucking embarrassing.

Zeke Kleiman suddenly made a strange noise from the side, so several times he tried to interrupt, saying ‘Me, when am I!’, but there was no time to cut it off.

I just shook my head in denial inside.

Even the look in the eyes of his son, Sedan Yoheiden, was kneeling.

‘You… … . You talked about retreating with me earlier… … . This bastard… … .’

* * *

“Long live Yoheiden!!”

“Long live His Excellency, Duke of Purna Joheiden!!!”

“hurray!! hurray!! hurray!!!”

Now it’s time to set up camp and leave for the Laios Mountains.

The roar of praise continued like an echo.

The Duke of Yoheiden sighed as if he was in trouble.

When I saw Zeke Clayman chewing on a piece of bread with a brazen face next to me, I felt a surge of emotion.

“… … Hey, what are you doing now… … !”

“Umm, the ability I mentioned earlier should be kept a secret. It’s the ability the Lost Hope guys are looking for with their eyes on. I couldn’t help it.”

“Even so, this way is difficult! You even swore by your sword! What!”

“Your Excellency, the debt I saved. Let’s beat it with this.”

“… … .”

If this guy came out like this, I was at a loss for what to say.

After all, he saved Serena’s life, saved his own life, and saved the lives of the Knights of Joheiden.

This is already the third time.

Even if you ask for all of Joheiden’s property, there is no reason to refuse.

How can that be washed away with just one false testimony?

It is a business that remains. No, rather, in return, he got the sincerity of the knights as a bonus, so it was a good situation for himself.

It was nice to think that everything was really resolved and worked out.

yes, that’s good It’s good, it’s really good, but… … .

That said, something is kind of the way!

Even without looking at the respect and admiration of the knights from behind his back, he could feel it.

Every time I realized this, a corner of my heart, a guy called conscience, vomited blood and screamed shrilly.

It was the Duke of Yoheiden who had been admired and praised by many people, but it was difficult to hold on at all.

At best, he tried to retreat without his tail!

So I thought that if I could save about 15 people, I would have saved a lot.

what is this… … . Feeling like an aristocrat who received the rare title of saint.

‘… … fuck. It’s fucking… … .’

The voices of the knights whispered from behind.

“… … Heroes and nobles… … .”

“It was strange that a hero would show up and save us whenever we were in trouble. You knew that losing such a sacrificial noble would be a great loss to the country!”

“I see, the reason why a man with tremendous power named Zeke Kleiman is following… … . hahahaha, I’ve never been this proud of being a member of the Joheiden Knights.”

“That’s right. I will bury my sword here for the rest of my life.”

“Even if I die, I will remain as a specter and protect Joheiden.”

“I envy the friendship between the two of them. As expected, heroes recognize heroes. Age difference is nothing.”

The Duke of Yoheiden tightly closed his eyes and whispered to Zeke.

“Fall… … .”

“Yes.”

When Zeke Kleiman fell, the captain of the knights rushed at him.

“Dangerous! You never know what dangers are around you! Always be vigilant! dismissal!”

The duke of Yoheiden looked up at the sky from a distance as he saw the person who seemed like a reliable friend suddenly become a loyal insect and overzil.

‘Ha, I fucking want to be alone… … .’

Even now, the leader of the knights is not lowering his guard and is looking in all directions with lion-like eyes.

The Duke of Joheiden looked at the scene with cold eyes,

Eventually, unable to withstand the pressure, he turned his head and shouted.

“stop!!!”

Then, everyone tilts their heads again and expects their words as if they were a proverb.

Thick veins sprouted in the temples of the Duke of Joheiden.

“We are now moving secretly to attack Justia! Isn’t that why you took off the armor engraved with Joheiden’s crest!”

“By the way, how do you guys look now! It’s not enough to act as a normal person as much as possible right now! Long live Joheiden? You are making a lot of noise! Do you really have to roll properly to play your role!!”

For now, the Duke of Joheiden, wanting to avoid that gaze, suddenly reacted.

Then, as if feeling ashamed, the knights kept their mouths shut and bowed their heads.

“Ahh… … . no, that’s right We were on a covert operation right now.”

“Yes, a knight should be able to control his emotions… … . Learning like this again. I’m still far… … .”

“Let’s engrave loyalty deep in our hearts and do our best in the given task… … . under… … . Even though he gave me such a great thing, did he not show condescension and only emphasize his duty? Also… … . I’m glad I came to Joheiden… … .”

“After I die, even if I die again, I will protect Joheiden.”

Even if he didn’t want to hear the knights whispering to each other like that, he heard it in the ears of the Duke of Joheiden.

‘No matter what I say in the future, will it end up like this… … . Ha, I miss Serena… … .’

The knight commander also lowered his head in shame and sneaked closer.

He took one more drink and knelt down on both knees and prostrated himself in front of him.

“sorry. I have to keep the center… … . Such ugliness… … . I will gladly receive this punishment after returning to the duke’s house… … .”

“… … don’t do that… … .”

“no. A fair punishment… … .”

“Don’t do that, kid… … . please… … .”

The Duke of Joheiden covered his face with both hands.

“Instructor, do you like my bread?”

“Hmm, that’s good enough to eat.”

Meanwhile, Zeke was peacefully chatting with Soi.

The screams of the Duke of Joheiden’s conscience echoed as far as the Laios Mountains.
