Camilla was surprised when she heard my introduction and asked,

“Warrior, wasn’t your original title Count?”

“He was originally a count, but His Holiness the Pope suddenly changed it.”

“Suddenly?”

“I guess I’m getting anxious that I might be taken away by the Emperor.”

The emperor said that if I wanted, he would make me his father.

Of course, from the Pope’s point of view, there was a possibility that I could be taken away, so he made me a duke even though it was difficult.

‘It would include capturing Sir Andrew, the main force of Hadron, and rescuing Helen, the second apostle.’

In this way, a duke who had never appeared before in the history of the Holy Kingdom appeared.

Wow, it’s so easy to be a peacock.

“You are probably the only one who has risen to the top so easily.”

“Don’t talk nonsense. I’m still dazed.”

Becoming a duke wasn’t all that great.

Because the system of private interests that had maintained power in each region collapsed because of me alone.

‘Even if we can’t openly attack because of the Emperor, we will keep them in check.’

My back was breaking because of the emperor and the pope.

I just wanted to be satisfied with being a count.

“Hello, warrior. My name is Iris, the third apostle of Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom.”

Iris, the white-haired woman who greeted me gracefully at the sight of my family crest, had dignity in every action.

“I have heard a lot about the hero’s exploits.”

“I’m embarrassed. It’s not that great of an achievement.”

Maybe it was because of her unique dignity? I also treated her cautiously.

Iris was one of the nymphs who had lived for a long time, like Helen and the Pope, so it was right to be polite.

As I was thinking that, Iris suddenly took out a pen and paper from her bosom.

“If you don’t mind, my lord, could you tell me about the battle you fought with Sir Andrew?”

“ in?”

“We must leave this great record for future generations, so the more detailed it is, the better.”

Iris’ words caught me off guard, so I looked straight at Camilla and Ally and asked with my eyes.

What’s wrong with that guy?

The answer came back right away.

“As an apostle of Athena, the goddess of war, Iris studies ways to win all kinds of battles. Perhaps she is curious about how she defeated Sir Andrew despite their obvious differences in skill.”

“It’s easier to think of it as a kind of record otaku.”

After hearing their explanations, I sighed and slowly explained to Iris, whose eyes were shining, about the battle that had taken place that day.

“Haa… Where should I start?”

.

“I barely won.”

“Great strategy of blocking troops and using terrain appropriately!”

Iris was busy taking notes, admiring my strategy.

Like a Joseon historian obsessed with records, he was recording everything I said.

Is this a little scary?

“I expected that the equipment would be taken from , but the idea of storing air is something that even I, the creator, never thought of.

Ally took note of how I used my in combat.

“It’s not that difficult of an idea.”

“It’s not hard. But, Cian, it must be hard to think about preparing for a dust explosion in a life-or-death battle like yours. Thanks, you’re a great inspiration.”

“Is that so?”

It seems like I’ve gained a lot as a developer.

Camilla on the other hand…

“Cutting the Divinity… ”

I was amazed at Sir Andrew’s skills.

It seems that the gap between himself and the second-tier knights was greater than he had thought.

“Let’s stop small talk and talk about the new things.”

“Ah, this time, can you tell me about the Northern Expedition?”

“That… I’ll do it next time.”

“Thank you.”

As Ally said, Iris was a record-crazy otaku.

“Then, I will explain about the new creature we captured this time.

Once she got to work, Iris started giving briefings like a competent office worker.

“As you all know, it is the divine relic of Taranis, the god of lightning and punishment. And because of its unique properties, it is causing problems with sealing.”

“What’s the problem?”

In response to my question, Iris showed me a visual representation of something magical, just like Helen had shown me in the past.

“Unlike other dead gods, Taranis has not fully accepted his own death. He was successfully subdued with the help of Lord Peredil, but continues to resist.”

“A beggar making his last desperate attempt before dying. Fortunately, he’s tied up now, but it’s a bomb that could explode at any moment.”

Allie’s further explanation brought to mind Camilla’s thoughts about the evil deeds Taranis had been secretly carrying out.

“You piece of trash, you should die gracefully after serving your purpose.”

“The sealing process is at a standstill due to Taranis’ resistance, but fortunately we have a warrior.”

Iris looked at me and said.

“If the warrior successfully swallows Taranis’s divine water, he will be dealt with without any damage, and the wounds inflicted on the warrior by Sir Andrew will be cured.”

“Well, that’s why I brought it. I’ll take responsibility and swallow it.”

“However, we cannot proceed right now.”

“Why?”

“Because it’s very dangerous.”

This time, Allie continued the explanation.

“Sian, as you know, new things are different from heritage.”

“That’s right, it’s the body of a god.”

“So unlike the divine legacy, it can think at a higher level like a human. Right now, Helen and the other nymphs are keeping the seal with prayers, but if you break the seal to swallow it, it will run away without looking back.”

“Just catch it.”

“That would be great, but there is currently no knight in Asgard who can capture Taranis. Lord Peredil has gone to the injured Clarke, and his equals, Lord Orona, Lord Thompson, and Lord Harte, are guarding the Pope.”

In other words, all of the power of the Holy Kingdom is currently outside.

‘If there’s a problem, it can’t be solved.’

It was obviously a dangerous situation, but Ally, like a developer, emphasized safety.

“I think we should wait until Sir Peredil returns for safety reasons.”

“Then, how long are you going to wait?”

“At least we have to wait until the Pope returns to Asgard.”

“Elder Ally, didn’t you hear? The Pope’s return is pending.”

“Ah… ”

“And the fact that we brought the new water is something that even the royal family doesn’t know about?”

“That’s right… ”

“So, as I said, use the non-stop lightning to subdue Taranis.”

“That’s absolutely not allowed!”

Allie strongly opposed Iris’s opinion.

But is there a word that sounds familiar?

“Big Lightning? Did you make something weird again?”

Allie answered my question by scratching her face.

“It’s not that I copied it, I just copied the name.”

“So what did you make by plagiarizing the name?”

“This is Asgard’s ultimate weapon made in preparation for an emergency. It is the best weapon in the Tower of Wisdom, made by mixing magic and miracles. Its power is roughly that of a nuclear bomb.”

“Crazy… ”

Even though it’s a fantasy world with gods and magic, is it possible that a weapon with the power of a medieval nuclear bomb has been developed at the scientific level?

Judging by this kid’s obsession with firepower, you’re definitely from the same town.

“Of course, there won’t be any radiation exposure like with a nuclear bomb, but if we were to fire something like this at the current terrestrial civilization, it would cause chaos. The seals on the monsters could even be released.”

“Yeah, no matter what, don’t use that dangerous stuff.”

“Oh my, of course!”

“Isn’t that a compliment? You firepower nerd!”

“Gyaak!”

Allie writhing in pain in my honey chest.

Ignoring her, who had become the destroyer of the world, I asked Iris.

“The most important thing right now is that we need a knight to capture Taranis, right?”

“Yes.

“Let’s leave that to Camilla.”

“Yes?”

The one who was most surprised by my declaration was Camilla herself.

She stuttered more than usual.

“Yes, warrior? My skills are still far behind those of a knight like Sir Peredil.”

“I know, as someone who has fought 2nd tier knights, I can tell you how big the gap is between 2nd tier knights and 3rd tier knights.”

“Then why?”

“There is something called compatibility in fighting.”

I continued my explanation, citing an incident that occurred in the underground city as an example.

“If it had been Sir Peredil instead of Sir Andrew that day in the underground city, would I have won?”

“No, Sir Peredil is not at a low level to fall for such a trick.”

“Then, on the contrary, if Lord Peredil had fought for me in the underground city, would I have won?”

“That’s… ”

Camilla couldn’t answer my question right away.

Even if Sir Peredil is stronger than me, it will be difficult for him to do well against two third-tier knights.”

I was able to win that day because I was able to use my abilities and the terrain appropriately.

“The victory or defeat in a battle is not necessarily determined by skill.”

“Good words.”

Swish swish swish-

Iris suddenly started writing down my words like scripture.

This woman is not normal either.

“And the conditions are different this time.”

“I see. There is no need to subdue Taranis.”

“Yeah.”

Camilla didn’t need to overpower Taranis like Lord Peredil did.

I just need to protect everyone until I swallow that guy.

“And you’re good at protecting yourself.”

Camilla’s auror was like a castle wall.

I felt more helpless when dealing with her than when dealing with Sir Andrew.

“So please protect me this time too, teacher.”

“Haa… If you use that here, I can’t refuse, right? ”

“Hahaha, then maybe I should go to 2nd rank now.”

Camilla was angry at what I said, but she didn’t seem to dislike it.

So I went back to the sealed place again to dispose of the new water together with Camilla.
