I AM THE KING

CHAPTERS 14. SPEAR TRAVIAS [5]

Situation's changed.

The arrested men were released and the Slave Merchants replaced them.

They observed the many cavalry troops that appeared before them, and lost all of their fighting spirit. More than anything, seeing Joey's ruthlessly banged head had the greatest effect.

"We have to take these people to Bason Village."

The lecturer looked at the Slave Merchant and frowned.

The city of Bason, was the only one with the proper facilities to imprison these people around this area.

There might be more, but that was all the information he had.

“Patroli from the 1st to the 4th, will part with me. Our job is to bring this bastard to Bason.” Village

"Yes!"

The squad commander replied as one voice.

The lecturer looked at the Commander of the 5th Army, Ched.

“Ced. You brought the villagers to Trum.” Village

An expression of exhaustion could be seen from many villagers.

They need a break first.

Ched was worried about this with a troubled expression.

“I do not know exactly the position of Trum.” Village

“You can ask directions from the villa...”.

The lecturer spoke there and closed his mouth.

The villagers could not take on a guiding role.

"I can't do anything."

The Lecturer's eyes looked at Roan.

"Roman"

"Yes." Yeah."

Roan who was maintaining the condition of the villagers replied and approached him.

"You're traveling together with the 5th Patrol."

"Yes. Understood."

Hearing the Lecturer's words, Roan bowed.

A smile appeared.

'I will be able to go on and find Travias' spear.'

If he were to travel towards Bason village together with the Lecturer, he would have to leave his spear after that.

'Well, it doesn't matter.'

Travias' spear will only be found after 17 years.

Of course, the one who found him back then was himself.

Immediately, the Lecturer and the cavalry patrol under him brought the slaves, and drove north. When they are not seen anymore due to the dense forest, Ched calls Roan.

"Sheel. You take the front. ”

"Yes." Yeah."

Roan answered briefly and ran forward.

It was obvious to him, but the other cavalry troops were not riding their horses either.

They had lent it to the villagers, whose conditions were not so good for traveling.

Clop. Clop.

The sound of the steps of the horse sounded melodious.

They traveled out of the dense forest, and after walking out a little longer, they finally saw a small village at the foot of the hill.

“This Village Trum.”

Roan said after turning around to look at Ched.

“It's smaller than I imagined before.”

Ched seemed to be surprised by the village he saw.

'And therefore, no one could think that Travias' spear would be in a place like this.'

Roan smiled bitterly and moved his legs.

As they approached the village, several men with large dense bodies appeared.

"Who are you?"

They seemed to be surprised by the presence of soldiers in armor, and carrying weapons in front of the village.

"Hello. I am the Commander of the 5th Cavalry Patrol Force in the Rose Army, which belongs to the Rinas Kingdom.”

He shook his hand and explained everything.

"ah! For it to.....”.

People became surprised and quickly regretted their defensive attitude.

They guided them inside the village along with bright smiles of relief.

"We'll prepare something to eat."

On the orders of the Village Chief, several women swiftly prepared food and drinks.

They knew that if not for the Rose Army, they would also be enslaved by the Slave Merchants.

“We are very grateful. Really thank you.”

The people who sought safety after entering the village; relayed a message of gratitude to the soldiers of the Rose Army.

"No-no. We just did the obvious.”

Ched shook his hand and smiled brightly.

Back then, Roan met with Lia's parents and told her the things Lia had done.

“You said that the reason we can be free is because Lia is small?”

"Yes. Lia asked our Squad Commander to save the villagers. He's really smart and a brave boy.”

Hearing Roan's words, Lia's old man's expression turned to relief as their worries disappeared temporarily as if holding back all the happiness in the world.

Tears dripped from their eyes.

Ched's voice then sounded.

"After an hour's rest, we'll get back to the squad."

Hearing his words, Roan stood up.

He approached Ched and whispered in a low voice.

“It has been a long time since I visited Trum Village. Can I reminisce and look around the village for some time?”

"Thank you?"

'She should be familiar around this part, because she had already come here before.'

And there was also the merit that Roan had achieved, so he gladly allowed it.

"Come after you slowly look around."

"Thank you."

Roan lowered his head and moved his feet to the inner side of the village.

'A small village like this won't change much even after a long time.'

He had visited Trum Village after 17 years.

But Trum Village from the past was not much different from the Trum Village he saw now.

He pretended to look around the place, and moved towards the north.

'It's really amazing.'

Roan reminisced after seeing a large ancient tree, which was outside the fence on the north side.

The tree was so lush that three people had to surround it by holding hands, and it was twice as tall as the other trees.

On top of all this, every time the wind blew causing the branches and leaves to collide, it tickled his ears.

Feels weird.

Roan placed his hand on the ancient and huge tree in front of him.

A rough feeling.

Roan moved around while still tracing his hands along the surface of the ancient tree.

Touched.

At his fingertips, he felt a fine lump.

'That's here.'

Roan's eyes are shining.

He touched the lump with his fingertip and drew closer to the tree.

He scratched the tree with his fingers.

At that moment, a piece of wood fell into his palm.

A piece of wood, along the arms of an adult.

On the outside surface, it looked like an ordinary piece of wood, but it was actually a very sturdy piece of stone.

Roan moved his hand to where the piece of wood fell.

A secret place inside that ancient huge tree.

What was hidden inside, was a strangely shaped oxidized stick.

'I found him.'

Roan kept the wand at his waist, and returned the pieces of wood that had fallen on the ancient tree.

Along with the grinding sound of the stone, the tree trunk restored its original shape.

Roan avoided the curious gazes of others and sat down near another tree.

A stick smaller than an adult's arm.

It was as thick as a wrist, and although it was originally black, now that it had oxidized, its color now looked bright red.

'Travias' spear is said to be made of dragon's magic metal scales, Dionium.'

Roan grabbed the tip of the stick and squeezed it as if he were twisting the laundry.

“Ugh.”

His face flushed while blood vessels appeared on his wrist.

After he exerted all his strength for a long time, a strange voice sounded.

creaking.

Sound of oxidized parts breaking.

The tip of the spear split in half and spun around.

Clinks.

Simultaneously with the sound of the saw blade grinding, the tip of the spear came off.

Cheengs.

At the same time, a metallic sound rang out and the blade of the sword lifted up.

Excluding the long handful, a sharp blade was raised around the stick.

It was just like looking at a sword without a defense system.

No matter how you look at it, you can't really see it as a spear.

'There's no point if you don't know how to use mana on Travias' spear.'

Just by entering mana this person showed his true appearance.

Roan smiled bitterly and turned the tip of the spear in the opposite direction.

Cheengs.

Along with the sound of metal grinding, it returned to being a stick covered in bright rust. Roan stood up from the place with a satisfied expression.

'Wait a sec. When I learn how to use mana, I will use you without a second thought.'

He placed Travias' spear on his waist and smiled.

Roan's view was directed south.

'Potter County. If I go there, my life will change.'

But now is not the time for that.

If he were to leave now, it would be meaningless.

"Let's wait until summer."

Until then, he needed to raise his body while crushing the monsters in Pedian's Plain.

It is better to continue to collect the reward and collect a more stable position.

'I still remember the subjugation of the monster hordes in the Pedian Plains freshly.'

A battle that was truly fortuitous in collecting the reward.

At the very least, he could get a promotion to Corporal or Lieutenant.

'good. Step by step, let's go diligently!'

Now, he wouldn't make a stupid choice.

In his past life, those stupid choices piled up and he led a messy life.

At that moment, a single thought flashed across his head.

"ah! Now that I remember it, that guy was there too!”
