Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 192 – FUGITIVE AND QUIETER
[POV Buron]
After getting the word from the king, I and my team of three soon set out for the southern city.
“…”
“…”
But what is with this long silence? Were they too intimidated by my 72-year-old age that they were reluctant to talk? But even though I was old, my own face was still like a middle-aged man in his 30s so they shouldn't be too intimidated.
Not being able to stand that long silence, I opened the conversation first.
“Life in this kingdom is really good. Never short of food, his entertainment was fun. His Majesty the King is indeed the best.”
“…”
“…”
However, it was only the silent nod that I received from the two youths.
Did I mislead the topic?
Come to think of it, they were former members of the Vlonhard Empire who lost the war and ended up having their territory annexed by the Meglovia Kingdom.
Did they not like the talk because they remembered their defeat in the war, or longing for their former empire, or something?
Apparently, I should raise another topic.
“Wah, Ma'am who was just with us, his body is good too huh. It's tearing every move. Who else is the mother's name, oh yes, if not the wrong name Alice. I heard she's not married yet. Are you guys not interested in a typical woman like her?”
“…”
“…”
However, even their response this time was worse than before. Let alone nods or headbands, they just remain silent without expression.
Are these two young men also unable to put up with the lewd joke?
I really feel unable to understand how the youth is now growing. The two young men I'm with right now, Adam and Olbero, are really building blocks on themselves that I can't break through.
We finally arrived at the scene. The expedition teams had already fought their hardest to close the open wild dungeons. But regarding the existence of so many wild dungeons, it was only natural that there was a dungeon break that started to occur.
As soon as we arrived, it was reported that there were already two regions that had dungeon breaks. One team has gone to the other region so there is only one area left that has not been handled.
Me, Adam, and Olbero immediately headed to the area that had not been handled.
Once we got there, we could see dozens of orcs ravaging the surrounding area. Fortunately, the residents had previously been evacuated to a safer place so that the dungeon break that occurred hardly took any casualties except from among the soldiers who fought against them.
I could immediately see how Adam and Olbero immediately ran to the opposite side swinging their swords and began to eradicate the monsters.
Adam with his shadow steps slashing monsters at their weak points then kill the monster even before the monster had realized the existence of Adam.
On the other hand, Olbero's fight was more conspicuous. He sharpened his sword with wind magic that produced quite a noisy sound then started using it to slash through one-by-one orcs with ease. Each slash produced a considerable impact that was able to thicken the orcs around so that it simultaneously covered the gap of Olbero's defense.
I certainly don't want to lose to those young people. I summon my sword aura. Then in a single slash, I was able to get rid of around twenty orcs simultaneously.
Our combination will not be defeated. I, who was commissioned by His Majesty the King to guard this region from monster attacks, will not fail in my mission.

At that place, in one of the dungeons in the familiar looking monster forest region, Helios stepped foot with certainty but with a tense look on her face.
He walked and continued walking into the dungeon territory ignoring the monsters around him. Uniquely, the monsters, rather than being disturbed by the presence of Helios then attacked him, more like looking scared at the existence of the young man.
Until one day, Helios arrived to the innermost region of the dungeon.
“I've come, Milanda. I'm ready to take that exam.”
A semi-astral figure in the form of a giant woman sitting on her throne immediately smiled in response to Helios' words.

Even after occupying the position of grand master, I could not have expected that there would still be a day where I would have to face a fight that could make me squeamish like this. After all, facing a monster for three days and three nights without even a break of rest, no matter how weak the monster might be, would still make a grand master like me exhausted.
As soon as I glanced at Adam and Olbero, thank God that they also looked fine even though they looked no less tired than me. At least, I have given them an hour of rest a day so that their physical condition must be much better than mine.
However, this is still too much. Regarding the shortage of personnel, assistance is still not coming. But since His Majesty the King has entrusted this territory to us, we will never betray his trust.
But I am really on the threshold. Unknowingly, I fell. Not because of the monster attack, but I can no longer endure my drowsiness.
“Captain!”
“Captain!”
I could finally hear the voices of Adam and Olbero. Whatisthis? Apparently their voices were both really beautiful and very manly. They would have become more famous if only the two of them had talked more.
I could see dozens of monsters instantly pouncing towards me as soon as I caught my guard down. However, Adam and Olbero should not be worried about me. Ten or twenty fatal attacks from monsters won't kill me who's a grand master, so why are you guys so worried. Well, maybe I'll get hurt bad, so…
Ah, crap! I still want to be saved. In any case, being injured by dozens of monsters was bound to be extremely painful. But there won't be any more. No matter how fast Adam and Olbero moved, they would never have time to save me in time.
dash dash dash dash dash dash.
But suddenly, thousands of pointy ice stuck into the bodies of the monsters who were about to pounce on me so that I was saved from the safety of the monsters. Adam and Olbero managed to reach me before the monsters further away managed to get closer.
“Ah.”
I remember this attack. This is the attack that His Majesty the King made while saving me in the icy land.
But when I went upstairs, it wasn't the king. It was the woman who was always beside the king who also saved me there with her fire arrows. Apparently the woman can be two elements, no, it's three, since ice is made up of wind and water elements.
“Didn't His Holiness Helios have reminded you to just retreat if you can't? Though His Majesty has warned you to put safety first.”
It was Doctor Minerva, one of the genius physicians who had also had time to heal many patients in the Fallenstone Region so it was very famous among the witch survivors that were saved by His Majesty the King.
dash dash dash dash dash dash.
But what is this? That weak-looking genius doctor could also fight? At first I thought she was from the priest class, apparently she was a wizard. No, with that kind of skill he could already be at the realm of the arch wizard level.
In the end, my party was saved thanks to that great female duo.
“Adam, Olbero, you guys okay?”
“…”
“…”
“Thank God then. Yasmin, you immediately treat Adam and Olbero, let me treat the Buron whose wounds are not too severe.”
“…”
“That you guys. What's on your mind anyway? You can fight until this round. Is there no option to escape? If you are why, do you not know how sad His Majesty the Emperor is?”
“…”
“…”
Doctor Minerva continued to chatter to scold Adam and Olbero while also inviting the woman who often beside His Majesty the King named Yasmin was occasionally. Both Adam, Olbero, including Yasmin, simply responded through body language to what Dr. Minerva said. But what is this? Doctor Minerva was not at all bothered and just kept saying non-stop talking to the silent trio.
Or maybe I'm the one who doesn't understand how to talk to young people today? Are young people today taught not to say anything in front of their interlocutors if they are parents?
No, no no no. Where there is such a thing. The priests in the Fallenstone region alone were so friendly to me in inviting me to have a conversation. Or is it they're friendly because they're a priest? Is it precisely the reticent attitude exhibited by Adam, Olbero, and Yasmin that is a reasonable attitude shown by young people?
That's just possible. That is why Doctor Minerva responded to him mediocrely.
Thus the misconception of Buron da Corner about the culture of the Continent of Ernoa was increased by one. Actually, Adam, Olbero, and Yasmin were the little specials who just happened to be gathered in one place.
