Chapter 10.2:
After a quick lunch, I hurriedly went up to my room, and brought my things. Fortunately, Serpence seemed to be still there.
‘Phew, I guess I’m not late.’
When I looked inside the carriage, there was already a large briefcase and a small suitcase lying there. It seemed that the servants put it there. Is it because Serpence has all the necessary things out there? The luggage itself was simpler than expected.
‘I think the briefcase is too big. I don’t think we’ll have to work on the way?’
As I waited inside the carriage with my luggage, Serpence, dressed in a lighter outfit than usual, got on board. He used to wear bright colored clothes in the form of a fancy uniform that were usually worn with this and that, but today he is wearing a simple suit.
“There’s only one carriage, so are we two the only ones going?”
Serpence nodded his head to my question and answered yes.
‘He’s a duke, is it okay for his entrouge to be so simple?’
Well, there is no need for a servant who will take care of him on the way, because Serpence, who is an adult, will be uncomfortable. The Gaurd forces…would be meaningless because Serpence is stronger.
‘Escort is unnecessary to a person who calmed the advisory council alone.’
Come to think of it, about the middle of [Master of the Holy Sword], I remember what the author had mentioned. It was said that the only person who could fight a one-on-one match with the devil with a human body is Serpence and Humanus, who was chosen by the Holy Sword.
‘There was a limited condition of up to intermediate level, but isn’t that very good?’
According to the words, the most powerful human being at the moment is Serpence. Even if we include long-lived groups, wouldn’t he be in the top 1%?
‘Isn’t this completely unbalanced?’
As I mentioned in the middle of the novel, Humanus grew more and showed the power of killing even higher-level demons alone. Still, what’s great is great. If the Holy Sword chose Serpence. Yeah, what if Serpence was equipped with various equipment, including the holy sword?
‘Wouldn’t he even able to deal with the Demon King alone?’
Since the Demon King got to the continent and left it in 10 seconds, we don’t know it’s level, so it’s not certain, but there is a possibility.
As I stared blankly out the window, thinking about various things, the carriage that had been moving for three hours came to a stop. Of course, we didn’t arrive at the Duchy, we had to change to a train.
‘I heard that they use mana as fuel.’
It’s even rechargeable. Half of the mana required is absorbed by mana in the atmosphere, and another half of the mana is charged by hiring wizards.
It is said that in the old days, magic gates that could teleport were used like in a fantasy world. It wasn’t that the magic suddenly deteriorated and turned into a train.
‘In some country, the gate of the capital was seized by traitors, and the enemy suddenly appeared in the capital and it was destroyed without them being able to fight back?’
It is said that the transfer gate disappeared after such an incident occurred.
‘And if the flow of the original story goes, will this train stop operating in the future?’
Volta Mountains. It is a place where demons are confined using a divine barrier. After that, the sacred barrier there is broken and the demons are released, and because they spread all over the continent, it makes it difficult to manage the railroad.
‘Speaking of that, I have to stop that barrier from breaking.’
Lots of work to do. At least before the day of choice comes, what should I do about Serpence?
“Hah.”
I let out a big sigh without realizing it, and as soon as I got on the train, Serpence, who was opening the briefcase, looked at me curiously.
“Are you worried about anything?”
It would be great if I could just answer, ‘Yes, you are my biggest concern.’
“No, I’m frustrated at the thought of having to stay on the train for two days.”
“Still, isn’t this comfortable enough?”
It’s definitely what he said. The other compartments in the back are the same as regular trains, but the one we were in was composed of a single large room. 4 single beds with partitions, sofa and table. Of course, there was even a shower room on one side for easy washing.
“Lord Rivelon seems to wander around the duke’s residence a lot after work, but it seems he’s frustrated to stay in one place.”
“I’m such an extrovert, haha.”
Actually, that had a purpose. I just laughed out loud.
“More than that, the Duke is on a train journey, but are you already working?”
“If you ride every month, that romance disappears.”
Serpence said with a bitter smile. That’s understandable. And I’ll probably be like that in the future.
“It’s still a long way, so why don’t you take a break?”
It’s a fact I learned while living in the duke’s residence, but Serpence never rests. I heard that he woke up early in the morning to practice swordsmanship alone in the gymnasium, and took care of the rest of the work even after I got home from work or looked after the swordsmanship of the knights.
“Then Lord Rivelon, can you help me?”
Serpence smiled playfully and waved the documents he was holding.
‘No, that’s a little…’
Is it not? Should i help…
It was his way of conveying, ‘I know for sure that you will refuse.’
“Yeah, if I can help, I’ll help.”
“It was just a joke…”
Serpence stared at me as if in surprise.
As if analyzing me. I’ve definitely had this feeling before.
“I thought that Lord Rivelon would definitely refuse.”
“Yeah? But I’m an assistant, so it’s only natural that I help with the Duke’s business!”
“But Lord Rivelon.”
Serpence looked at me with a piercing gaze, took a break and spoke again.
What the hell are you trying to say? You made me nervous too.
“You don’t like to work, do you?”
“Yes? It’s like that for everyone, isn’t it?”
Suddenly, the steam leaked out. I thought he’s gonna talk about something important.
“But you deliberately slow down your work, don’t you?”
Wow, what a great story.
I was discovered by my supervisor at work.
