Healing mages, who were in charge of the Marquis's medical room, rushed in.
"This girl cleanly healed Sir Colin, whom you couldn't even touch. She also figured out that it was due to the pirates' poison, and she informed us that the poison's incubation period is unpredictable."
The face of the mage in charge of the medical room turned ashen.
'Ah... is this how I die?'
"From now on, this girl will treat all the injured. You will assist her in treating the injured."
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
They were still figures who were quite famous for their healing magic in this area.
Yet, they had to clean up after a young girl.
A situation that could easily damage their pride.
However, none of the medical room mages were interested in pride right now.
'I'm alive.'
'I'm alive.'
Espin looked at Davian and Karin.
"You two can go to the reception room and finish your conversation."
Espin tried to make the softest expression possible and looked at Luna.
However, Luna was the only one in this space who felt her expression was soft.
'I've never seen the Marquis make such an expression.'
'What kind of expression is it?'
'Does he want to go to the bathroom?'
"Thank you, Luna Pueri."
"Yes! Marquis."
The Marquis's reception room.
It was still a more comfortable atmosphere than the office.
But that was only when compared to the office.
Karin was even more uncomfortable now that she was sitting close to Espin with only a table between them.
'I've never seen a woman with such a muscular build. Her face is full of muscles.'
"So. What's the reason you came to see me?"
Davian took the bag he was carrying on his back and placed it on the table.
'I've gained his favor, so I'll get straight to the point.'
"I brought the Venenum Herb."
Espin's expression hardened instantly.
Karin, who had been looking back and forth between Davian and Espin without much thought, felt her heart shrink.
"I thought you were good people, but you're just a swarm of flies. Just go back. I'm letting you off easy because you saved Sir Colin and I know Luna Pueri's father well. Do you know how many people have brought that fake Venenum Herb already?"
Espin was already disillusioned with scammers.
He even beheaded those who went too far himself.
How dare they play tricks on my daughter.
"You're putting us on the same level as those scammers outside."
"I don't give a second warning. I usually don't give even one. As I said, the reason you two are alive right now is all thanks to Luna Pueri. So go back right now."
Davian silently opened the bag and took out the Venenum Herb.
"You must have been looking for it a lot, so you'll know right away if you look at it directly."
"Is this guy going to push it to the end? Do you think you're the kind of people who can get that herb! I've let those who couldn't cure my daughter's illness go, but I've never spared those who dared to lie...!"
Davian took the Venenum Herb and held it up to Espin's face, who was angrily spitting out words.
Instantly.
Espin's eyes widened.
"Real... Venenum Herb?"
"Yes."
Espin's tone became urgent.
"How many. How many do you have?"
Davian silently turned the bag upside down.
The Venenum Herb fell out onto the table.
"This much."
Thud.
Espin stood up, and the chair was pushed back roughly.
Espin touched the pile of Venenum Herb on the table.
"Is this... are you saying that this is all really Venenum Herb?"
"As you can see."
"Where did you get it? I haven't heard that this amount of Venenum Herb has been distributed. Where did you get it and for how much? No matter how much you got it for, I'll pay you twice, no, three times as much."
"From the Demon Realm."
Espin raised his head and looked at Davian.
"The Demon Realm?"
"Yes. Luna and I went in together and collected it."
Espin picked up the Venenum Herb one by one and examined it closely.
"It's real... it's really Venenum Herb."
"Yes."
Drip.
The Witch of the Battlefield.
A physique like a female Nubes and a fierce face.
It would seem more feminine to put a wig on Nubes.
Tears streamed down from Marquis Espin's eyes.
"Finally... finally..."
"This should be enough to cure the Young Lady's illness."
Thud.
The Witch of the Battlefield knelt down.
"Thank you. Thank you so much... You've allowed me to save my daughter."
Espin raised his huge arm and wiped away his tears.
"I don't know how to repay this. Davian Naone."
The Witch of the Battlefield jumped up.
Suddenly, she punched her own chest.
"I, Espin Ellaina, will never forget this favor until I die. I will give you anything you want. Even if it's my life."
No, why even your life...
Just give me some money.
A lot.
"What do you need? I have plenty of money. There is no nobleman in this land who has more wealth than I do. Even the royal family hasn't fully grasped my wealth. I will give you enough to buy anything you want."
This is good so far.
The situation did not flow only as Davian intended.
"And. To repay this favor someday, if you want, I will fight with all my strength against whoever the opponent may be. Even if that opponent is the king of a country."
Instantly.
Karin's face, who was looking at the two, turned white.
'Even the king?'
Davian looked at Karin.
"No, Karin. It's a figure of speech, a figure of speech. You know? You learned Korean in the Royal Magic Department, right?"
"..."
Espin asked.
"Why are you so conscious of your friend, Davian?"
"Ah, she's not my friend."
"Then?"
Espin turned his head and looked at Karin.
Karin's face turned even whiter.
'If he finds out that I came to monitor Davian on the orders of the royal family! If he realizes that the Witch of the Battlefield said in front of me that she would fight for him even if the opponent was the king! ...I'll die here.'
Davian opened his mouth.
"She's my escort."
"Escort?"
"Yes. The royal family specially assigned her to me."
"You clearly blocked my sword once, didn't you? You don't seem to need an escort. Come to think of it, you're quite amazing at a young age."
"There are plenty of strong people in the world."
Karin's eyes widened at the unexpected answer.
She didn't think Davian would answer like this.
Espin nodded with a serious face.
"That's true. Anyway. What do you want from me, Davian Naone? Just say it."
Since the other party is offering to give you their liver and gallbladder, there's no reason to cut open the goose that lays golden eggs.
"I do need a little money right now..."
Lay a little groundwork.
"I didn't come here specifically to get anything. I happened to hear rumors that the Marquis was going through great hardship due to the Young Lady's illness, so I brought the Venenum Herb I had."
Deliver even greater emotion.
So that the goose can continue to lay golden eggs.
Karin, who had barely regained her composure, shook her head.
'He clearly said he was going to sell herbs. He said we could make a killing. This guy is no ordinary sly fox, Davian Naone.'
On the other hand.
Tears welled up again in Espin's fierce eyes.
"Thank you... Thank you, Davian Naone. I will never forget this favor even in death. You can take anything you want. Money, treasures, weapons, take them all. I'll personally escort you on your way in case you run into bandits."
"Just your words are enough. The gold coins and treasures you've already given us are enough."
The bag that Davian brought the Venenum Herb in is now full of gold coins and small gems.
And in Davian's head, who answered like an ordinary boy, "What are the chances of that happening?" thoughts began to fill about how to utilize the Witch of the Battlefield.
'When will I be able to use her properly?'
A gain that cannot be compared to the gold coins filling the bag.
'At this rate, I won't have to worry even if I fight a war with the demons.'
The final battle of the 3rd playthrough came to Davian's mind.
The demons pouring in endlessly.
A situation of utter despair.
However.
A new future began to be added to Davian's memory.
The top-tier spirit Glacier, with only one contractor.
The Arond family, who avoided assassination of their successor and avoided war thanks to Davian.
And even Marquis Espin Ellaina, the Frontier Count.
All of these have become forces that Davian can draw upon at any time.
'Whether it's demons, the Marino Empire, or this damn quest. Let's see who wins.'
The time when the sun was about to set beyond the walls.
"Done! You should be fine now."
"Thank you."
Luna wiped the sweat from her forehead with her arm and raised her head.
"Are there no more now?"
Espin, who was sitting on one side and watching Luna's treatment, got up from his chair.
"It seems to be all over."
Davian and Karin, who were sitting next to him, also got up.
"You worked hard, Luna Pueri."
Luna came running over.
"No! Marquis. It wasn't hard at all. The mages here helped a lot too. They learned the treatment quickly after I told them the method."
The healing mages belonging to the Marquis's castle approached with a proud expression.
Espin's gaze turned to them.
"You're pathetic. Learning how to drive out poison only after being taught by a seventeen-year-old girl."
The faces of the healing mages turned white in an instant.
"Research and report on the reactions and treatments of all the poisons in this world by next month."
That there was a next instruction.
At least he wouldn't kill them right away.
"Yes!"
"Yes, I understand!"
"I will do that!"
"I will detoxify all the poisons in the world!"
Espin flicked his hand and pushed the mages back.
"There is no need for those who are complacent with the present, thinking they are full. Always strive forward."
"Yes! We'll be going now!"
"Thank you!"
Espin turned his head to Davian.
An expression quite different from when he was looking at the mages.
"Are you really going back today? Stay a few more days. I'll even give you a ride on a pirate ship if you want. We just took a very big ship this time..."
"I have to go back to the academy before tomorrow morning."
Davian's resolute expression.
Espin chuckled.
'I was saying, "Why don't you ride a pirate ship?" to these amazing kids. I'm such a fool...'
Looking at their appearance, they are only first-year students at the academy.
But these kids' skills are not.
What's more, the boy Davian blocked his sword at the age of seventeen.
Espin nodded slowly.
"It seems like you have important things to take care of back at the academy. Of course, that must be the case. Great skill comes with great responsibility."
"It's not that. I'll get demerits."
"Demerits...?"
He's such an enigmatic guy.
He has such amazing skills.
Yet, he's afraid of something like demerits?
"...Anyway. All of you seem to be beyond the academy level. You're working hard. I'm impressed."
"We have to graduate."
"Yes. I can't hold onto the children who will become the future of Alcancia for too long. You said you brought the scroll?"
"Yes."
"Then go back safely. Davian, Luna, and even you Karin. You three are welcome to come to my castle at any time. Also, if there's anything you want, let me know at any time. I've prepared to give you my life because you saved my daughter, who is more precious than my life."
"What are the chances of that happening? The gold coins and treasures you've given us now are enough."
The bag that Davian brought the Venenum Herb in is now full of gold coins and small gems.
And in Davian's head, who answered like an ordinary boy, "What are the chances of that happening?" thoughts began to fill about how to utilize the Witch of the Battlefield.
'When will I be able to use her properly?'
A gain that cannot be compared to the gold coins filling the bag.
'At this rate, I won't have to worry even if I fight a war with the demons.'
