Chapter 1214
Episode 1214. I know the name. Even if it was called ‘Lagoa’,
while Elio was thinking about teaching Sinclair Jeter swordsmanship, the Andrea Jeter couple also had trouble sleeping.
After confirming that her daughter was asleep, Shine Cowleslaw suddenly spoke to her husband.
“Do you think I was a bit harsh?”
“no. Wouldn’t you know if you and I were commoners? As a member of an aristocratic family, that was something I could say.”
Children of commoners do not have a chance to learn swordsmanship, but children of noble families are different.
Right now, Andrea Jeter had learned swordsmanship under the guidance of her father when she was young.
As the daughter of a baron, Shine Cowles grew up watching her family practice swordsmanship.
That’s why the couple was able to reject the adventurer’s proposal on the spot.
“Still, I shouldn’t have disparaged the opponent’s swordsmanship. I could have told Synclair to wait a little while I’ll send her to the academy…” ”
…”
Andrea Jeter gently patted his wife on the shoulder.
At that time, he was also nervous.
However, the adventurers didn’t get angry even after hearing the insulting words.
“It’s been 15 days at most, so I’d like to just let him teach, but… you don’t know who that man is, do you? What if I am a criminal?”
“I won’t be a criminal.”
“why?”
“Actually, Mr. Thoros (transportation manager) from Algorium took the adventurers to the police station. If they were criminals or were charged with a crime, they would not have been released.”
“Ah… that’s what happened. Did they do anything that would make them suspicious?”
“Isn’t there a talkative young man in the back seat? Going with a decent old man.”
“yes.”
“When I was waiting for the carriage to be repaired, he played a little trick on me that I didn’t understand.”
“Is this a joke you don’t understand?”
Andrea Jeter recounts what happened while waiting for the wagon to be repaired.
“…I told Mr. Toros about what happened then, and I ended up going to the police station.”
“It happened. Did you really have nothing to do with them?”
“I don’t think so. Mr. Toros slightly tipped me off, and he said he was of great help to you and Sinclair when they went missing.”
“Oh, then you were a benefactor?”
“Well, you might think so…”
“I’m the only one who didn’t know the grace that helped me and instead became a bad person who insulted me?”
“Mr. Toros could have said it as a greeting, so there is no need to think so much.”
“If the adventurer next to you is not a criminal, but rather a benefactor, I guess I should just teach him. He also seemed stubborn.”
“I would have done it more because of my pride.”
“Since you helped and even heard that, you won’t back down until the end, right?”
“If you don’t feel like it, I’ll ask Mr. Toros to dry it.”
“no. Even so, he is a benefactor who helped us, but we can’t let him be so cold-hearted. What can I teach you for a fortnight? I just have to do it my way. I’m sorry for dragging Mr. Toros into such a trivial matter.”
“Good idea. As you said, you won’t learn much in 15 days. I’m not doing this with any malice, so don’t worry too much.”
“You can tell him tomorrow.”
“So it is.”
Andrea Jeter let out a sigh of relief.
I felt refreshed thinking that the war of nerves between my wife and the adventurer next to me was over.
the next morning.
Andrea Jeter, who met the adventurer sitting next to him in the restaurant on the first floor, spoke cautiously.
“Adventurer.”
“yes?”
“Last night, I discussed it with my wife, and I decided to entrust the sinkrare to the adventurer.
An awkward smile appeared on Andrea Jeter’s face.
As the relationship between the adventurer and them was strange, the words kept getting twisted.
“All right.”
Elio replied with a sullen face and left without looking back.
Andrea Jeter tilted her head at the young adventurer’s sullen attitude.
‘what?’
Yesterday he made a fuss about teaching, but today he acts as if he reluctantly took over.
I didn’t expect to say thank you, but I don’t think this is it.
However, it was difficult to allow the water that had already been spilled and could not be reversed.
‘Still, shouldn’t I at least say when and how I will teach?’
He grunted inwardly and headed towards his family.
Seeing her husband, Shine Cowleslow asked sneakily.
“Did you tell me?”
“huh.”
“What do you say?”
“They said they knew.”
“Is that the end?”
“huh.”
“Don’t adventurers have plans like that?”
“I don’t know. This is the first time I have ever met an adventurer in person.”
“Still, don’t leave it to me and say I don’t know. Because there are still 15 days left.”
“of course.”
The husband nodded, and Shine Cowles Law turned to her daughter.
“Sinkrare.”
“yes?”
“You can learn swordsmanship from that adventurer until you reach the Principality of Fatima. Is it only swordsmanship? If the adventurer says something strange, should I tell my mom or dad right away? Understand?”
“Does that sound strange?”
“Everything is strange except for swordsmanship. If you have anything like that, tell me.”
“yes.”
“Especially, if someone says ‘this is a secret between you and me’, you have to tell them right away. That’s what really bad criminals say. Yes? honey?”
Andrea Jeter, distracted by those words, grabbed her daughter by the shoulder and said with a stern face.
“Oh, your mother is right. Telling a child that it is a ‘secret’ or ‘don’t tell anyone else’ is a really vicious trick, so don’t hesitate and tell your mom and dad as soon as possible.”
Then Synclair Jeter, who was frightened, asked cautiously.
“Can’t we just not learn? Can I go to the academy and learn?”
Andrea Jeter rushed to soothe her daughter.
“Haha, it’s not because that adventurer is a bad person, it’s just something to be aware of. Besides, there are so many guards next to us, what are we afraid of? If you want to be an adventurer, you shouldn’t be afraid of it.”
“Can I learn?”
“No. But if you say or do something suspicious, tell your mom and dad.”
“Are you saying you can’t tell secrets or other people?”
“yes. You are smart.”
“all right.”
Synclare Jeter nodded, holding her bracken-like hands firmly.
Andria Jeter’s family made up their minds, but Elio, who was supposed to teach him swordsmanship, didn’t even mention the word “sword” in swordsmanship.
Even after getting on the carriage after breakfast, Elio only looked at the surrounding scenery with disinterested eyes even during the short break he had on the way.
Unable to wait, Andrea Jeter approached the young adventurer perched on a rock.
“Hey adventurer.”
“yes?”
“You said you would teach Sinclair… but you didn’t say anything.”
“I am thinking.”
“What?”
“Because I have never taught such a young child. I am thinking about what and how to teach.”
“Advanced swordsmanship may have different forms, but aren’t the basic skills the same?”
“Yes.”
Andrea Jeter exclaimed inwardly, ‘Then why aren’t you teaching!’
However, the young adventurer still showed no signs of moving like a stone statue.
The confrontation between the two did not last long.
This is because the guards went around shouting to prepare for departure.
Eventually, Andrea Jeter returned to her family without any income.
The carriage moved again.
Elio didn’t say anything about it until he passed through Count Xavier’s territory.
The next day, around noon, the carriage entered the territory of Marquis Cyril.
After lunch at a restaurant in Verna, Leon Toros called the guards.
“The sky is overcast this morning. It looks like it will snow very soon.”
Duvalier nodded in response to his words.
“The Marquis of Cyril has many mountains in the highlands, enough to be called the Highland in the past. If you encounter snow on the way, you will be stranded.”
“So, I think we should take a break and check the weather. Please tell the driver and the passengers to wait there.”
The guards grumbled at Leon Toros’ instructions.
“It’s snowing in Marquis Cyril’s territory. Once it snows here, it doesn’t melt well.”
“I know. I wouldn’t be able to move for three or three days.”
“Three days? It could take longer than that if there is a heavy snowfall. Marquis Cyril is said to be surrounded by mountains.”
“Ayy, I thought I could get away with it this time, but I stepped on shit.”
At the words of the guards, Leon Toros’ face darkened even more.
After all, only the stagecoach transportation association loses money if the travel period is extended.
Of course, it was reflected in the ticket price to some extent, but there were occasional cases where it fell below.
Leon Toros’ hunch was right.
About an hour later, snow began to pour from the gray sky.
Passengers were directed to an inn with close ties to the Stagecoach Transport Association.
When the Andrea Jeter family took a breather in their assigned room, someone came to them.
It was Elio who decided to teach Synclare Jeter swordsmanship.
Andrea Jeter asked with an absurd face.
“Now? Are you saying you want to teach swordsmanship when it’s snowing like this?”
“yes. Let’s go kid.”
At that moment, Shine Cowleslow reflexively hugged her daughter and said,
“No.”
Elio then frowned.
“Didn’t you ask me to teach you swordsmanship?”
“It’s snowing, it’s snowing. It’s called a heavy snowfall. Someone teaches swordsmanship on a day like this…”
She trailed off.
I was surprised and said no, but in fact it was rude.
Elio stared at Andrea Jeter with grave eyes.
“Mister Jeter. Didn’t you poke me yesterday, saying, ‘Why don’t you teach swordsmanship?’ But today you say no again. Do you think that the other person is an adventurer with no name, so you can treat him casually…?”
At the young adventurer’s accusation, Andrea Jeter said, ‘Oops!’ I wanted to
He’s right.
How and when to teach was entirely up to him, the teacher, to decide.
“Oh no. This is the first time this has happened, so I was just embarrassed. Follow Sinclair Adventurer and learn ‘swordsmanship’.”
Even in the midst of that, Andrea Jeter emphasized ‘swordsmanship’.
Realizing that there was no turning back, Shine Cowleslow whispered in her daughter’s ear.
“Do you remember what Mom and Dad said yesterday? You must not forget.”
“Yes…”
Synclair Jeter nodded anxiously.
Eventually, Synclare Jeter hesitantly approached the young adventurer.
Shortly after the young adventurer and his daughter left, Shine Cowleslaw stood up.
“I guess I can’t. Would you teach swordsmanship in this heavy snow? This is weird! I guess I should ask Mr. Toros to follow me.”
“It will be fine. It’s snowing anyway, so there’s nowhere to run or hide.”
“What if something bad happens to Sinclair? You said you entrusted syncrere to someone you don’t even know the name of.”
“I know the name. They said, ‘Lagoa’.”
“What else? What else do you know about him?”
“An adventurer of Fiestra? it’s okay honey Adventurers know that Mr. Thoros and the guards are kind to our family. I’m not going to do anything stupid.”
Only then did Shine Cowlesro sit on the edge of the bed again.
“How was Baron Jeter? Did you train your swordsmanship in the rain or snow?”
“It’s not rain, but the eyes… I got hit by chance. I bet the Baron Cowles Rowe did too. You haven’t seen it.”
Of course it’s a lie.
When it snowed, the drivers did not leave the house to avoid catching a cold.
Thinking that far, Andrea Jeter hurriedly spoke.
“Let’s stop worrying and prepare some warm water for the sink.”
