I searched the entire mountain and dug into the ground.

The war was so intense that remains were found in many places.

It was said that things were being cleaned up even after the war ended, but there were still a lot of them.

It was unavoidable since it was impossible to dig up every place.

We were able to enter the village only after all the souls had completed their orders.

“So, you’re taking the knighthood exam, right?”

“Ma, that’s right!”

A young man about my age swallowed nervously.

People were gathered around to see the place.

As soon as I entered the village, I laid down a mat.

I started doing it yesterday, so it’s already been two days.

It seemed like it had spread by word of mouth, so many people gathered.

If there are many people, there are many stories.

Among them, there may be stories that require the help of a shaman.

In this young man’s case, he came to see his fortune.

“Hmm…”

If you take the knighthood exam, you will have good luck getting a job.

In that case, we need to check whether Jeong Gwan-un exists…

“No, no.”

“Yes?”

Even after washing my eyes and searching, there was no sign of finding a job.

No, it was visible, but it was very faint.

Things like this usually go like this.

“I won’t completely pass.”

“Well… then?”

“It will fall in the middle.”

I don’t know how the Knights Templar exam is conducted, but the final selection will be difficult.

However, in the case of this boy, he was born a sincere person.

Although he didn’t have any special luck or luck, he was ultimately a person who wanted to live a not bad life.

“If you keep working hard, you will succeed in a few years.”

Although I haven’t had any luck with getting a job, I have quite a bit of luck with my studies.

“The things we have accumulated so far will pay off. Don’t try to see results in a short period of time, but keep working hard.”

When you look at the fortune telling, it often appears as if it were what I just said.

Everyone will have experience.

A sand bar that can be solved with the sound of catching floating clouds.

Except for special cases, it is normal to live life like this.

Windfalls and bad fortunes are not that common, so you have to put in the effort to make your life better.

In an instant, people were divided.

“You are a wizard!”

“There are also drivers this time!”

“The wizard is coming again…”

A group of people dressed in robes and armor walked among the people.

“Huh.”

He was a man who looked to be in his 40s.

“You may not know me, but I am a wizard belonging to the Barony of Thievault.”

The wizard rolled his eyes as if asking if he would hurry up and say hello.

Just by looking at this guy, you can smell the truth.

“Since you say you can see the future, I would like to ask you a few questions.”

It’s probably hard to ask…?

After laying the mat and reading the fortune, two more wizards came to visit.

One about an hour ago.

One before that.

They were all people with a scent of truth that would disturb everyone.

One of the wizards who arrived first was causing an uproar.

Since he was so unlucky, I told him the truth and he got angry and got angry.

After that, all wizards who could smell the truth were summoned.

To old Closel.

“If you don’t get it right, you will be taken away for the crime of insulting the wizard…”

The wizard’s complexion turned white as he tried to speak.

“Wow…!…This much mana…!”

Mana was seen surrounding the wizard.

The mana was so pure that it could not be compared to the energy this man possessed.

The wizard, who had been urgently looking around, opened his eyes wide and quickly stood up.

“All…I will come back!”

In the direction I was running towards, Old Man Closel was talking to two wizards with their heads down.

So, I should have carefully looked at where I was going to sit.

“Okay, next guest!”

This time it’s a knight.

He also has a very dirty outlook.

It’s mean and petty.

He was a knight born with a lazy and authoritarian personality.

Would you say that he is a person who met his parents well?

It seems like he came to see me in passing because he was interested, but he didn’t even bother to sit down.

“A member of the Order of Knights directly under the Barony…”

Startle.

I don’t know why these guys are so proud of their affiliation.

It seems like they are telling others to be honored, but seeing that this gentleman twitches, it seems like he has been called.

“…A commoner is lucky.”

What on earth were you trying to do to me that made me say that I was lucky?

What would have happened if I had gone alone without my friends?

Identity was not as easy as I thought.

Even if a wizard or a knight who is treated like a semi-noble appears like that, commoners cannot resist much.

That was the law here.

“Tsk tsk… Next!”

“I am a farmer. I came here because there is a land where grain does not grow.”

***

An inn with a large building.

A truly bizarre scene was unfolding behind this inn, famous for being the best in the baronial territory.

The knights and wizards were standing in a line and bowing their heads.

They were being disciplined.

Even then, they could not show any dissatisfaction.

That’s because the two people in front of them were so great that they couldn’t even breathe.

How shocked I was when I found out who it was.

“Did you say you belong to the Barony?”

“Yes! That’s right!”

Among the knights who were paying attention, the one who seemed to be the leader of the group answered.

It was a restrained appearance with military discipline in full effect.

“Do you know who I am?”

“Yes! Klaus Farah, hero of the Continental War and sword master…”

“Stop.”

Paramon interrupted the knight.

“It’s been a long time since I abandoned my last name, so don’t mention it.”

“Yes, I understand!”

“So, you belong to the baron’s order of knights?”

“Yes! That’s right!”

“Is the current knight commander Vanel?”

When a familiar name appeared, the driver’s expression brightened.

Even though you were called out suddenly, if you reveal who you are, you will be able to get out of here safely.

The knight answered proudly.

“Captain Varnell is my uncle.”

“Ho? What is your name?”

“It’s called Mavelia Calf!”

Kalf’s face filled with confidence.

Even Paramon, who is called a hero, knows his family name.

It seemed like if he could persuade him well, he could scold the commoner who had put him in such trouble.

“Mavelia…I remember. Railer, it’s that friend’s family.”

“Ma, that’s right!”

A man named Leiler was Kalf’s grandfather.

A knight who served in the Continental War at a young age and made a name for himself.

His grandfather, who served in the Imperial Knights, was the person he respected the most.

Kalf’s mouth opened wide at the next words.

“That friend was so scared that he got scolded by me a lot.”

“…Yes?”

“I remember you as a friend who worked hard.”

My grandfather was like heaven.

I can’t believe there is someone who could say something like this to his grandfather.

Normally, he would have complained of being insulted and challenged him to a duel, but this was out of the question.

As Calf knows, when his grandfather participated in the war, Paramon already held the position of knight commander.

“It’s great to be a knight for generations.”

“Thank you!”

Paramon stroked his chin and said strangely.

“But that’s it…”

“Yes!”

“In my day, whenever my seniors called me, I would dive in headfirst…”

“Heh…!”

“I guess the culture of the Knights Templar has changed these days?”

There was no time to refute.

As soon as Paramon finished speaking, the knights’ heads fell to the floor.

Kalf was also not something he could avoid.

“Hehe, fortunately, it’s still the same as I know. Do you have any complaints?”

The knights answered at once in loud voices.

“No!”

“Kalf, you seem dissatisfied?”

Kalf, who hit his head, felt like he was going crazy.

Doesn’t it feel like you just stepped out and got photographed?

Kalf screamed at the top of his lungs.

“No!!”

“What isn’t it?”

“…Yes?”

“I asked what it was?”

I shouldn’t have answered.

Because that wasn’t a question I was hoping for an answer to.

“Sorry…sorry!”

“What are you sorry for?”

“……”

Kalf was speechless.

I felt resentful of myself for putting my grandfather’s name on my back for no reason.

“You’re not even answering anymore?”

“Sorry…sorry!”

Paramon looked around and clicked his tongue.

“Do you think that your grandfather and I kept this place to harass commoners?”

“No!!”

A similar scene was unfolding a little further away.

“If it’s circle 4, it’s still time to learn magic.”

“Yes, Closel! We are working hard without stopping!”

Closel clicked her tongue when she saw the articles lying face down.

“I don’t give discipline in such a barbaric manner.”

A sigh of relief flowed from the wizards’ mouths.

This is because they were worried that something like that would happen to them too.

However, the tension in front of me seemed to ease as Klossel in front of me did not seem to have any intention of doing so.

“You said you are continuing to work hard, so I would like to ask you about magic.”

The wizard’s fists clenched as he was asked the question.

If you answered well, it was your chance to be noticed by Closel.

It was time to prove the skills I had accumulated through research.

“I can answer anything.”

“Ho?”

Closel opened her mouth with a meaningful smile.

“Tell me about the formula for Explosion magic among the 6-circle magic.”

The wizard’s mouth that was asked the question had no choice but to remain closed.

How does he, a 4th circle person, know the 6th circle magic formula?

The magic, which was two levels different, was impossible to even understand.

“Well…I’m still in the 4th circle…?”

“Oh, I see. Then…”

Hope filled the wizard’s eyes.

I guess I was mistaken because I thought 6th circle would be easy for a magician like Klossel.

Perhaps this time, you will ask questions of a level of difficulty that suits you.

However, contrary to such expectations, what came out of Closel’s mouth were completely different words.

“Go and memorize it now.”

“Yes?”

“If you can’t memorize it, you have to be prepared.”
