Chapter 36: The Recruitment of Trike (1) (1/2)
Chapter 36: The Recruitth alone was 79 This was pleasantly beyond what Milton had expected froth as an Expert was 72 This her than an Expert swordsman
‘How is this possible?’
Milton was flabbergasted
The power exuding from this man seemed nowhere near that level If they were to duel with swords, Milton would unmistakably win
However, Milton realized why his Strength was so high upon observing his Special Traits
Farsighted, Snipe, Rapid Fire
All three of the Special Traits he possessed were related to archery
In other words, instead of pruning his aura to reach the Expert stage in swords his archery to reach new heights
This ‘Monarch’s Authority’ system assessed that his archery skills were equivalent to 79 Strength Trike had solely amassed his archery skills to the point where it was deeth
It was clear that he possessed both the extraordinary talent and the dedication in chiseling himself necessary to reach this level
‘All that considered, it makes sense now Besides, I’ve already seen a si of his Adence was 77
High as it was, he could not be brought to the battlefield as an advisor because the e and experience was related to internal state affairs Therefore despite his high Intelligence, he could not be brought to a ithout any direction and be told to think up a strategy
‘No reat this ‘Authority’ power is, that doesn’t a humans, and each has their own individuality…’
Milton now had a wider understanding of his powers
Watching Milton, Trike bluntly asked him
“Whatcha doin’?”
He was not surprised that Milton would appear at his cell like this
‘Looks like they lost as expected Though they lost quicker than I thought they would’
Having anticipated the outcome of this war already, Trike had also projected that Milton would co the victor
What he did not expect ould follow
Milton had exclai hi before nodding his head and , ‘I see’ – all while Trike stayed put
So what did Trike think?
‘I’m fked He’s not a complete nutjob, is he?’
It was a perfectly reasonable concern
Trike becaly worried as he realized this lunatic would be deciding his fate Unable to keep silent, he eventually opened his mouth first
“Whatcha doin’?”
“Scoundrel! How dare you speak to our lord in that manner?!”
The one who answered Trike’s question was not Milton, but his escort knight behind him, Jeroor and beco deal with saying so eyeballed without a word?!”
Trike was also a man of fiery telared at Trike and warned him
“Mind your manners Do you knoho is the one before you?”
“Who? Why, he’s the one that got hit by my arrow and fell off his horse of course”
“You dare…”
It seemed that Jerome was ready to juhts out of Trike
But Milton raised his hand and held Jerome back
“It is fine, Jeroree?”
“But my lord…”
“If I say it is fine, then it is fine”
As soon as Milton said that, Jero
Milton size for staring at you so stiffly Tis’the man who landed an arrow on ”
“……”
Trike looked at Milton with a hint of surprise
All the nobles that Trike had encountered until now had been arrogant and looked down on the co been born with an innately prickly personality, he could never bring himself to flatter the nobles and always caused some friction In particularly bad cases, he was even al the name of a noble and whatnot
Thus to Trike, the ones people called nobles were beings he believed were fundamentally incompatible with him and were natural enemies
All that considered, his present situation was the absolute worst
He was locked up in a cell, and the noble in front of hio
Yet…
‘Why isn’t this noble showing any hostility?’
Rather than hostility, it went so far as feeling his friendliness
Trike was the type of person that needed to ask right away to satisfy his curiosity if he had any questions
“Why aren’t you angry?”
“Why ry?”
Trike smirked at Milton’s nonchalant counterquestion and retorted
“Well… wasn’t I just trying to kill you, Viscount?”
“That was only natural since we met as enees when the war has ended?”
“Then… what ‘bout ht beside you looks like he’s tryna tear ood friend here is rather staunch I myself do not particularly mind so pay him not heed”
As Milton replied coolly, Trike chortled and e noble”
“I am this way by nature As are you, are you not?”
“Me? What… do you mean…”
“An ordinary mercenary would not act so casually in front of a noble – even more so when their life is in said noble’s hands”
“Mood Then how about us strange people have a little chat?”
With that, Milton released Trike fro room
Jerome did not seem particularly pleased with Trike’s attitude towards Milton, but he did not go against his lord Milton’s will
Arriving at the sitting roo so his talk with Trike
“You wouldn’t want this to drag along, I assuet straight to the point How about you join my ranks?”
At Milton’s words, Trike had a sip of the tea and frowned
