Chapter 90 - Legion Name

By daybreak, the frenzy of h.e.l.l had finally quieted down.

There were still dragoons coming out from the destroyed barrier stone, but it was just one or two at a time.

Just the elves and dark elves soldiers were enough to deal with them.

There seemed to be something under the barrier stone that sp.a.w.ns dragoons and basilisks indefinitely.

Maybe it’s the entrance to a dungeon.

For now, so that they would not gush out all at once like last night, they would solicit help from soldiers and adventurers to attack the barrier stone dungeon periodically.

They would request the guild before long.

A few days after the barrier stone’s destruction, we were summoned to the throne room.

It was an audience with the king of High Elf Kingdom, Enol.

“First of all, as thanks for saving this country and my daughter, Luna―”

Together with the king’s words of grat.i.tude, a single knife was carefully brought over and given to me.

It was a simple knife with the symbol of the High Elf Kingdom carved on the scabbard.

A knife that was made from the rare metal, orichalc.u.m, with the already lost technique. It was an item that didn’t even have a price on the normal market.

If I wasn’t wrong, the rapier that Lyss brought on the giant scorpion extermination was also made from orichalc.u.m. I remember she tried to use that rare sword to chop a tree into firewood.

I smirked as I remembered that, while the king continued on with his speech.

“To give praise to Lute, who did a meritorious service of saving my country, I confer you the t.i.tle of [Honour Knight].”

Ooooh! Upstart!

I won’t get annuity, land, and responsibility, but in exchange, I can have a position like that of the High Elf Clan, to some extent, while being of human race.

In other words, I could now freely enter and exit Woodcastle.

There had been no human given patronage by a High Elf n.o.ble before in history, except the human hero.

I was the second one, it seemed.

Now this was a pretty spectacular feat.

For the n.o.bles and wealthy merchants that wanted to get close to the High Elf Clan, they would probably want this t.i.tle so bad that their uvula would turn into a hand to grab it.

Also, by making me a n.o.ble, they probably wanted to make up for the attempt to kidnap Chrisse, hoping that I wouldn’t turn it into a big fuss, since the criminals were high elves.

Of course, the high elf youngsters who orchestrated the kidnapping and the human involved would be punished, or so the king promised me. From the look of his face, the punishment seemed like it would be severe. Well, his beloved daughter almost got sold off, so that much is obvious.

They also investigated the organization that transported Luna, but they couldn’t get any details.

Furthermore, due to the incident this time, the king was moving to make the guild let me become level 5 adventurer.

Keeping an adventurer that defeated giant scorpions, dragoons, basilisks one after another at level 3 or below was unthinkable.

When I had the time, go to the guild and finish the procedure, he said.

In addition to that, all the expenses for this time would be Enol’s responsible, and the same amount would be put out as my reward. The money I used to buy s.h.i.+a as a slave would also be included, but for releasing s.h.i.+a from slavery or not, they left it up for me to decide.

TN note: sweet, high elf and dark elf, GET

“If you have any trouble, our country will lend you our full power as repayment. We definitely won’t forget this debt of grat.i.tude.”

The king gave thanks as if revealing his true feeling.

Again, he told me that since I was an honour knight now, he wanted me to decide on a family name and coat of arms in a few days.

Family name and coat of arms huh…… it was probably better to discuss it with Snow and everyone.

Furthermore, during the upcoming few days, a victory party will be held so please partic.i.p.ate, he said. There was no reason to refuse it, so I accepted.

We bowed and left the throne room.

Next, the place Snow, Chrisse, s.h.i.+a and I were facing was the Adventurers Guild outside of the lake.

We came for the procedure to level up to level 5.

We were led to a different room of the Adventurers Guild, a private room, and were currently being explain to about legion again by the little sister of the receptionist who always took care of me in the Dragon Continent.
