How to Live as a Wandering Knight – Chapter 28.1

𝐈𝐭 𝐖𝐚𝐬 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐦 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫 (𝟐)

Khan, The oldest among the mercenaries predicted exactly right.

ㅤ

As soon as Gamson and Pell brought out a warhorse, they were plunged into chaos.

ㅤ

Johan was too scared to run out of the town, but there was no proper way to do so.

ㅤ

Gamson got irritated. Pell couldn’t respond and shrank back. Outside the town, especially alone, Gamson seemed as high as the sky to Pell.

━!

It sounded like a crazy idea, but it was impossible for their minds to work well while wandering the cold, dark fields at night. Gamson thought hard.

ㅤ

‘𝘈𝘯𝘺𝘸𝘢𝘺, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘪𝘨, 𝘴𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘧 𝘸𝘦 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦’𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘵 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘱𝘭𝘺, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺’𝘭𝘭 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮.’

ㅤ

Talking to a horse merchant, not a merchant or a mercenary, seemed like a good idea to Gamson.

ㅤ

It was a foolish decision made without knowing that the merchants of the city were interconnected like a spiderweb.

ㅤ

🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸

ㅤ

“You’re very healthy, you b*stard!”

ㅤ

“I prayed to God that you wouldn’t die. I wanted to kill you myself!”

ㅤ

The mercenaries reacted heatedly upon seeing the two locked in a solitary cell.

ㅤ

Joy of reunion!

ㅤ

They wouldn’t have been this happy even if they had met their wives again.

ㅤ

“C-Captain. Let me explain. . .”

ㅤ

“Don’t call me Captain anymore. It’s not about explaining.”

ㅤ

“What?”

ㅤ

“You should say ‘𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨.’ Of course, it won’t do much good, but still, you scum.”

ㅤ

With those words, Goran beat Gamson. The people of the association had locked them up carefully so they wouldn’t get hurt, but that only made it more annoying.

ㅤ

Did they eat and sleep well in the solitary cell while we were wandering and suffering?

ㅤ

The sounds of beating, bones breaking, and chilling screams erupted from the cell. The old grudges of the mercenaries were terrifying.

ㅤ

Meanwhile, outside, Johan and Eldans were having a cultured conversation with the people of the association.

ㅤ

“Oh, thank you so much. If it weren’t for you guys. . .”

ㅤ

“Haha. What are you talking about, Mr. Eldans. I learned it from Mr. Eldans.”

ㅤ

The employees of the association and guild were closely connected. They were very happy to have been helpful to Eldans.

ㅤ

“The merchant thought something was suspicious when he came babbling, so he delayed and sent someone to us. Mr. Eldans wouldn’t have sent a mercenary back without a letter, so it seemed suspicious.”

ㅤ

“Right. Right.”

ㅤ

“But who is this person?”

ㅤ

“He’s a knight we met on this business trip.”

ㅤ

“Ah. . .”

ㅤ

The employees momentarily showed a look of discomfort. To them, who were commoners, violent and high-ranking knights were naturally objects of aversion. A collision with them could only lead to their downfall. . .

ㅤ

“Don’t worry. He’s a young knight who knows honor and respects the weak.”

ㅤ

“. . .?”

ㅤ

Johan was flustered.

ㅤ

‘𝘋𝘪𝘥 𝘐 𝘥𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵?’

ㅤ

However, the assurance from Eldans was more effective than expected. The clerks immediately lowered their guard upon hearing it.

ㅤ

“If Mr. Eldans says so, he must be a remarkable person. . .”

ㅤ

“How honorable must he be? What achievements has he made?”

ㅤ

“He’s not yet famous, but soon his name will be known throughout the Empire. . .”

ㅤ

“Eldans?”

ㅤ

“Yes, Johan-nim?”

ㅤ

Johan put his arm around Eldans’s shoulder and whispered softly.

ㅤ

“Be modest, it’s embarrassing.”

ㅤ

“. . .Yes!”

ㅤ

Eldans thought to himself upon Johan’s words.

ㅤ

He doesn’t swagger about such praises but humbles himself.

ㅤ

Truly, a knight out of an old tale!
