Overlord, I don't want to be the Holy Queen's Great Sword

"Okay, you don't have to look. I just felt that two powerful warriors seemed to be watching the battle there."

"He doesn't look very old, but he actually gives people the feeling that he is stronger than an old guy like me!"

"And they seem to be a group of adventurers. Tsk tsk tsk, I'm afraid that even though the other members of the group look young, they are not weak either."

"Who knows, Erantel will have one more Mithril team, or even more."

"Alas, there are more and more talented young people nowadays..."

Asdelon sighed with emotion, then looked at Gazef and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

“Of course, there is also you, Gazef. Although you started learning martial arts a little late, as long as you practice hard, you may be able to catch up with them sooner or later.”

"Captain..."

Facing the ardent expectations of his benefactor, Gazef opened his mouth but for a moment he didn't know how to start. But soon he straightened his chest and raised his head and spoke in a very serious manner.

"Don't worry, Captain, I will never let you down!"

Gazef’s eyes were burning, as if a flame was burning.

A few months ago, he was just a farmer who ran away because he could not stand the oppression of the nobles in his hometown. Later, he became a mercenary.

As for why I'm not an adventurer...

It costs five silver coins for an adventurer to register, and an illiterate person like him needs to pay another five copper coins for writing fees.

Even for some wealthier families, it is a considerable expense.

Gazef did not have so much money on him at the time, and although the mercenaries did not need these things, there were good and bad among them. If it were not for Asdelon's help, those black-hearted mercenary groups would have taken advantage of them.

Afterwards, Asdelon invited him to join the other party's mercenary group, the Sword of the Oath.

This is a well-known and highly-reputed mercenary group.

Not only does it have a good reputation and can receive many missions, but its salary and benefits are also far higher than other mercenary groups.

Gazef naturally remembered this kindness in his heart.

Facing the high-spirited and excited Gazef, Asdelon, who was already thirty-seven years old and nearly forty years old, also smiled, his eyes full of belief and expectation.

There was never a time when he was so energetic and confident.

But compared to myself at that time, Gazef was much more talented than me.

"Okay, let's go back to the mercenary group first. There are some things I haven't settled with those guys yet!"

Asdelon said this, his sword-like gaze swept across the group of thugs who had fainted on the ground.

Asdelon was particularly disgusted by these thugs who occasionally wandered between the realms of thieves and slave traders.

Even though he was a mercenary, he knew very well how low the bottom line of these people was.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just looking at what happened today, even though their mercenary group has dozens of people and everyone is wearing armor, they look powerful and they are not something that these thugs can afford to mess with.

But if they remember it, they will definitely find an opportunity to stab you in the back, and even become complacent about it and brag about it everywhere.

The best way to deal with such people is to give them a hard blow and let them know that some consequences are beyond their ability to bear.

"Come on, Gazef. Today the captain will teach you something new besides martial arts."

"Yes, Captain."

After hearing Asdelon's serious voice, Gazef was immediately startled and quickly agreed, and then was led by Asdelon to walk out of the city.

The mercenaries will not be stationed in the city.

On the other side, inside old Locke's restaurant.

Because Karko and others did not need to stay in the hotel, they directly found a private room in a well-known restaurant in Yelantyre and enjoyed the food.

The restaurant's style tends to be more popular, and its signature dishes are rough-style meals such as German roast pork knuckle.

Except for Kuirat, who paid a little attention to ladylike etiquette and thought it was a bit indecent to chew on pig's trotters, so she seemed a little displeased, everyone else, including Karkna, particularly liked it.

As a warrior, even Remedios would definitely have a heavier taste.

But every time Kuirat saw Karko gnawing on the pig's trotter with relish, he couldn't help but sigh.

Although Kuirat said he could help Karko shave off all the meat on the pig's trotter, Karko said how could the pig's trotter taste good if he didn't chew it?

So at the table for four people, Kuirat was the only one with a stern face, as if he was isolated. He looked at Karko from time to time, and the knife for chopping meat couldn't help but use force, making a crisp sound on the plate.

This even made Kulev, who was speaking, stop talking for a moment.

Then he was immediately pulled back by Karko.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you stopping? Keep talking!"

Karko excitedly took a bite of the bone that had been gnawed into minced meat, and looked at Kulev with expectant eyes.

Under the gazes of two different people, Kulev had no choice but to talk about the Sword of Oath.

"In summary, the Sword of the Oath is a very rare covenant-abiding mercenary group with a good reputation. They are often hired by nearby nobles to deal with thieves and monster tribes wandering in the mountains and forests."

"The leader of their mercenary group is the man we met before. His name is Asdelon. It is said that he was a Mithril-level adventurer in Erantel when he was young."

"After retiring, I founded the Sword of the Oath, which has grown to a size of more than 30 people."

"Their previous activities were mostly in the southern part of the empire. This time they suddenly came to the southeastern region... They must have been invited by the free city of Vadis."

"Your Highness, I believe you also know that the free city of Vardis is a fortress city jointly funded and managed by the Kingdom, Empire, and Temple forces."

"It doesn't belong to anyone at all. Its only purpose is to eliminate as many undead as possible in the Katz Plains to prevent more powerful undead from appearing."

Karl nodded, that was indeed the case.

In this world, using healing magic to treat others requires payment, and part of the reason for this is that the temple forces need to invest funds into the free city of Vadis.

Even Karko knew that even the temple forces in the Holy Kingdom would allocate a batch of gold coins every day to be transported by sea to the kingdom's temple, and then sent to the free city of Vadis.

In a sense, the free city of Vadis is a city that belongs exclusively to the temple. If there were no interference from the kingdom and the empire, it might have been renamed the Holy City.

Seeing this, Kulev continued.

"In order to achieve this, and even to attract a large number of adventurer teams, the rewards in the Free City of Vardis are often about 20% higher than other places."

“And I did hear some similar news around the pub recently.”

"In fact, not only the Sword of the Oath has been invited, but even some adventurer teams originally based in Erantel will rush to the Free City of Vardis in the near future."

"They will also go to the Free City of Vardis?"

Karl couldn't help but frown. Although his mouth didn't stop moving, he was obviously lost in thought.

"I heard that adventurers and workers from the Free City found a figure that looked like a Death Knight deep in the Katz Plains."

"Let's not talk about adventurers now. I even heard that the Free City has begun to use the Empire's connections to invite that old man Fluder to come over."

"What's the result?"

When Karl heard this, he immediately became alert.

This incident is a good opportunity to take a look at the current situation of the empire.

Kulev shook his head.

"I don't know. There has been no news since then."

"Tsk, that doesn't look good!"

Karko secretly clicked his tongue. Fluder would not refuse this matter. The only question was when to take action and what the cost would be. But no matter what, at least the Free City would spread the news, giving the adventurers a shot in the arm.

But in fact there wasn’t, which meant…either Fluder didn’t agree, or there was a problem in the communication with the Empire, or with the current Queen.

Very good, it basically means that there is something wrong with the empire.

For a moment, Karko even put out the thought that he might have to discuss magic with Fluder soon.

Seeing that Karko thought deeply and then immersed himself in the joy of chewing pig's knuckle again, Kulev asked tentatively at the signal of Kuirat.

"Your Highness, you asked about the Oath Sword mercenary group today... Are you interested in their leader?"

No, in fact, I value Gazef Stronoff, the Kingdom’s Warrior Captain, more.

Although in the end it seemed that the product was not the same as the one mentioned, which made me give up a little.

Karl muttered in his heart, but said something else.

"No, I'm just a little curious."

"Why, are you worried something might happen?"

Karl asked suddenly while gnawing on his pig's trotter.

This frightened Kulev so much that he quickly waved his hands, which made Karl laugh.

"Okay, don't think about it for now. We still have some distance to go before we set off for the free city of Vadis. During this time, I'll trouble you, Kulev, to find out more information about this."

"As for now... let's finish our meal and go back to the camp."

"I just happen to have something to discuss with Spa before he goes back."

Karl said seriously, his mind unconsciously recalling the magical knowledge he had acquired in the past.

Runes that can change the magic circle, magic patterns that interpret magic, and the structure of magic patterns.

These are all things you need to study on your own.

But speaking of it, I'm almost at the sixth level. Shouldn't I take my father's crown and study it?

This thought suddenly popped up in Karko's mind.

At the same time, several loud sneezes echoed in the Cretaceous Palace on the other side of the world.

"Strange, who is talking about me?"

Sarah II rubbed his nose and said with a puzzled look.

Then he looked melancholy as if he had thought of something.

"Alas, my little Iris, it's been several months and you haven't come back to see your father."

"Is teleportation magic so difficult to learn?"

Chapter 83: Lao Deng’s Crown√ (No compensation for today’s two updates, take a break)

A few days later, in the capital of the Holy Kingdom, Hobans.

Inside the palace, King Sara II, who had finished his meeting early, walked alone in the corridor through the garden.

Although it is already autumn, the garden is still full of flowers in full bloom. These are all achieved with the help of magic. The monthly maintenance cost alone requires thousands of gold coins, and its only purpose is to allow the owner of the garden to relax occasionally.

Sarah II was very tired at this time. Ever since his youngest daughter had taken advantage of the nobles from the north and south, although it seemed that the Holy King's royal power had been consolidated a lot, the contradictions between the nobles from the north and south had also been weakened.

But he and his eldest son are now working overtime every day.

Not only was there a surge of people and nobles from all over the place appearing frequently, but also news from the sub-human tribes outside the Eastern Great Wall had to be kept up to date.

After all, no one knew that their actions would touch the nerves of the subhumans and trigger a war.

Although a large number of nobles have gone to garrison behind the Eastern Great Wall, and even a large number of capable people have emerged through the great waves, the eastern border has become much more stable recently.

But Sarah II knew very well that no matter how capable they were, they were just high-level filler babies. If the subhumans really gathered their troops for a large-scale attack, the Eastern Great Wall would still be at risk of being lost.

So he must prepare in advance.

Hey, how about I turn and go to the study?

The bear-like sturdy man sighed helplessly at this moment. There were two paths in front of him, one was to return to the bedroom, and the other was to return to the study.

bedroom……

Sarah II seemed to have thought of something and suddenly shuddered.

The queen was still waiting there, so forget about the bedroom. He was already tired enough, so he decided to go to the study and take a nap.

Just as Sarah II was walking towards the study room dejectedly like a brown bear who had failed to steal any honey, a clear voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Long time no see, father!"

"Oh, my little Iris, you finally come back to see your father."

"How is it, did you learn the magic of [Teleportation]?"
