The Rise of the Sword Expert
Rest Only for Lazy People

I smiled faintly at the offer, but I did not approve of it. It was just a thank you in my opinion. And this is the name of business.

My cloak pocket moves, I know Tanka must be awake by now. This conversation is more interesting.

"Give me half of your stock." I smile. My smile was greeted with a sour face from Verion. The new expression I saw on his face.

"Dad, that's too much." Verion whispered in his father's right ear, but his father raised his hand to stop all his words.

"alright. If you can take my son."

I glanced at Verion.

"Verion can't fight. Actually, compared to the holy power, Verion was a weak magician," he explained with a grin.

"You want me to protect her forever?"

"That's too brazen, Mr. Akion,"

"I'm just asking you to train him, and protect him for a while to be in his position."

Negotiations are not bad.

"alright. Although I have half of your shares, but no one else knows about it, and you just have to report it to me. The business of taking care of it is still you in control."

This is a win and win solution. Where can I have a stock without working and draining my brain this easily? I laughed in my heart

Marquis Kingston nodded. The old man had no choice but to agree. In Xellim now, whose sword skills are better than mine? There's no answer. Of course he knew he was risking something on the right person.

"Then, can you see this?" I reached for something red in my pants pocket.

The Mana Stone was placed in the hands of the Marquis Kingston who was now idly glued.

"Where did you get this?" tanyanya did not believe.

"My family's treasure." I replied with a hint of arrogance, occasionally I want to enjoy the feeling of being in the wind.

"WHAT!?" screams screeching. A knight went in to check on Marquis Kingston. But the Marquis hurriedly told him to come back.

"You said your family's treasure?" He asked in disbelief. Even Verion who was beside him was like being hypnotized by that red Mana stone

"Yes, I just found it. What do you think?"

"remarkable. This Mana stone is of high quality."

I'm nodding.

"This is a very beautiful and great stone."

I nodded again hearing his praise.

"The witches and the rest of the family will definitely scramble to get this"

I nodded again.

"Mana Rock is this big, it costs 700 gold coins."

I nodded once more. But I suddenly fell silent, and tried to digest the words of Marquis Kingston. 700 gold coins!

700 Gold coins!

700 Gold coins!

Gold coins!

The gold!

"WHAT!?" this time I screamed in shock knowing the price of which stone I always treat at will. Yeah, the stone's in my pants pocket, I'm sitting rough, and stuff.

Again, a knight came in to check. The Marquis of Kingstone told him to come out again. I timidly looked at the knight, my attitude seemed like one that was easy to fool.

"I know, Mana stone is of good quality, but with the size of a fist alone it costs that much, it's incredible ....."

"This includes rare Mana stones, Mr. Akion. And its usefulness is excellent, magicians who absorb this Mana stone will increase their magic power."

"Can I buy this?"

"Why how much?" I look exactly like a merchant. Tanka who flew near me smiled mockingly.

This is the money supply.

"You seem to have a lot."

"Yes, and you'll sell it."

"A pride can sell this high quality item. Thank you for your trust, Mr. Akion,"

Verion still looked at him in admiration. His hands moved slowly to touch.

"If you want, take it. Consider it a little gift from me" I said to Verion. I couldn't bear to let him hold himself back from touching her.

"Really, Mr Akion?" enthusiastic reply. I'm nodding.

Then, I saw Marquis Kingston again as Verion had held onto his Mana stone.

"I have conditions and conditions for this. Tonight, it's gonna be a very long night."

Marquis Kingston didn't answer me, he gave Verion the order to bring the pile of documents before us. Business agreement done.

I got out of the tent, last night I stayed up long enough. It may be only three hours that I fall asleep, but this body can take it well.

Look, just three hours asleep only my body condition has been fit again. Although, many times I experienced it, I still feel amazed at the condition of Akion's body.

A sumptuous breakfast consisting of meat steak, wine, dessert, and fruit was in front of me. Indeed, if Marquis Kingston's class is common. However, he overcame it with an apology for serving a simple breakfast.

God fucking. I'm a little envious here. But I ate it without protest.

"Can I have a coffee?"

A waiter came up to me, and put down a cup of warm coffee. I recently loved coffee. Enjoying wine in the morning does not fit in my mouth.

Next to Marquis Kingston who looked healthy, Verion looked extremely exhausted. Last night, after I gave him the red Mana stone, he absorbed the stone and used its power to heal his father.

Verion's lack of experience, made his body more receptive to the effects. At least he was alive and unharmed. Rest for a day, he can come back.

That is if he can rest.

Verion I allow to be by his father's side, maybe he's sleeping in a carriage like a baby.

Verion is now under my control, so he has to listen to all my orders. His father did not refuse that.

The days we spent with the hot and rainy weather, we kept going as planned. And as expected, there was a hitman who was eyeing Marquis Kingston. Too bad, they met me and did not understand the situation well.

So they all die.

"If I had a daughter, I'd betrothed you." The corner of the old eye wrinkled clearly as it laughed.

Occasionally Marquis Kingston threw jokes at me, he approached like a father figure embracing his son. I'm the same age as Verion.

On the way, Levian I ordered Verion to be taught. Perhaps Verion was too confident with his magic, so his own physique was not trained. That is what makes his body weak.

"Thank you a thousand times" Levian told Verion.

Marquis Kingston saw that, but he didn't care. Even approached me who was chatting with Tanka.

"What are you doing?"

"Oh, Marquis kingston," I said unexpectedly.

He glanced at the chair beside me.

"May I sit down.?"

"Please."

Tanka pouting. Earlier he was sitting on that chair, when I allowed Marquis Kingston to sit down, it hurt his pride.

He flew in an annoyed manner towards Levian. I smiled a little. The smile was seen by Marquis Kingston.

"Is there anything funny?"

"Yes, a dragonfly is angry."

Marquis Kingston tilted his head, puzzled.

"What's the matter, Marquis?"

"I'm just looking for a drinking buddy."

Right after he said that, a waiter came by to bring us coffee. You're being polite, I accept that drink. We drank while watching Verion who was practicing.

"You must be asking, why hasn't Verion trained his physique in the past?"

Yes, it's a little annoying, Verion comes from a rich family, it's easy for him to get the best teacher.

"Verion was born prematurely, his body weak. He's often sick"

"The color of the family situation is not good, I decided to hide it. He's hiding from one temple to another."

I keep listening.

"But, he has no holy power, instead has magic power. A priest secretly gave him a book and taught him a little use of Mana. The pastor is my best friend."

"That's why the magic power isn't so strong."

I understand about Marquis Kingston's love for his child. But, weren't his actions too naive for this world? He had to pay whatever it cost to make his son strong and well protected. Apparently, he wanted calmness for his son instead.

"This is your wife's request?"

The eyes were crinkled clearly again, a warm look when talking about his wife. Yeah, that's for sure.

"I'm sorry if I mention it" I said.

"That's right. My wife was afraid of bloodshed, so she wanted Verion to live a quiet life."

"Trust me, it's just an illusion."

I stared at the green plains before us.

"I understand that, young Baron. It might be too late for me, but not for him. It was lucky to meet you."

Now his smile looks like Verion. A smile that attracts me uncomfortably.

The next day, we had reached Redvet, and upon arriving at the magic tower of Redvet, a witch in black robes greeted us kindly.

His beard was bleached, like his stature was like Dumbledore's. He was a man of great stature and height, then a bewildering friendly attitude.

His lips continued to open to speak to Marquis Kingston. They seem to have a strong bond.

**

"Welcome to my magic tower, Mr. Akion Naal Sanktessy,"

The witch opened the door of the magic tower, allowing me to enter first compared to the others.

I take this as his generosity.

"He's my brother." Marquis Kingston whispered in my ear.

This guy always has surprises to share. He believed in this witch.

"Is there any more surprises?"

She laughs.

"You're the more of a surprise,"

She's through. Parents with a lot of experience are a little different.

"I can finally rest...." Verion dragged his leg past me. The hard workouts made him look like a zombie.

"Rest is only for slackers!" Levian walked past him while saying so. The look on Verion's face turned to disappointment, somewhere his usual friendly face was.

"Akion, this is a simple magic tower."

I agree with Tanka. The magic tower was not large, the furniture was ancient and simple, even a few other witches.

However, Redvet is a small village, a miracle in this village there is a magic tower. Isn't this the same as luxury?

Usually witches would prefer in the city, but in the suburbs, or in a region whose land contains a lot of magic. But not with this, this is a small village without magic, and peaceful.
