The Story of Hero Among Heroes ~The Founding Chronicles of Arestia Chapter 7

Chapter 7

Edgar Schwarzer

[… . . and those are the details regarding the bandit and magic beast subjugation mission . ]

[Hmm, I see]

Sitting calmly on the chair was the Schwarzer Archduke, Edgar, who listened to the report and quietly nodded with closed eyes .

[Subjugating numerous magic beasts, hundreds of bandits, and including two Land Dragons… . while only taking minimum damage of a few injured soldiers……as expected of Young Master . Truly skillful]

The one who talked just now was the old man who was standing next to lord Edgar and had been serving under the Schwarzers for years, Rouen .

He was originally one of the generals who defended the northern fort from the Wolfgard Empire .
He’s another elder who, alongside Alberto, are known as the [Schwarzer’s Twins] and as the [Northern General]; someone the Schwarzer family can boast about .

Ares had considered Rouen his immediate family as the old man had taken the role of teaching him of various things during his early years .

He was visiting Romaria when Ares is about to make a report by chance, so he also attended the reporting session .

[Normally, when a land dragon makes appearance… . we would’ve sacrificed hundreds of soldiers to defeat it . Beating two with the power of only one person each… . I’ve never heard of something like that before . ]

Nodding at Rouen’s comment, Edgar asked one question .

[However, why did the magic beasts, who have remained silent all this time… not to mention the land dragons, who supposedly won’t attack people, suddenly attack?]

[That’s… . . ]

Ares showed to them a dirty gray piece of item as he said that .

[This is?]

[It was an artifact of Galgain, once feared for its violence . ]

[Ha?!]

Edgar and Rouen took a deep breath .

Galgain . The name of the legendary demon who created a country of demons in the far north . He was famous even among demons . It’s said that he was reborn as a powerful existence after being swallowed by the power of darkness . He wielded his dark power and led the other crazy demons to war against the people of the races . The story of the carnage he did was all too famous . But then, it was said that he was defeated a by lone hero .

[You can still feel the traces of the demon king’s power from within this shard . The magic beasts in the forest of evil were Zephyr’s subordinates and attacking Sigurd would be considered a breach of his order, but they still won’t listen . And the Land Dragons don’t even like fighting in the first place . Moreover, they simply don’t dare to approach the lair of a top-cla.s.s being like an Ancient Dragon . But instead, they crazily charged in… . . I had to advance with the plan so I had no other choice but to kill them . ]

Ares kept talking with signs of bitterness in his voice .

[They’ve turned crazy and started to see themselves as someone stronger . This is… . one of the same symptoms that had been observed from the demons that were controlled by Galgain…]

[… . does the Hero’s memory say so?]

[… . yes, Galgain was s.h.i.+n Oldeus’ nemesis… . his irreplaceable friend that had fallen victim to the demon king’s magic . There is no mistaking it . ]

The story of s.h.i.+n Oldeus the hero has been told by bards and in theatres all over the continent . However, the story about his friend who defected to the demon king’s side was omitted .

Edgar gave his son a gaze as he never knew that there was such a story before and sighed .

It’s been 10 years since the time when my son was struck with that mysterious disease . At that time, I could only hate myself for my powerlessness as I could only watch my son suffer . No famous doctor and healer knew of the cause, making me spend my days in worries .

When the pain finally subsided and my son became healthy again, not only me, but also all the people on the whole territory were rejoicing . But at the same time, I was troubled . By that… .

I heard from my son that he bore the memories of 3 persons .

At first, I didn’t know how to handle it . I laughed it out as a mere dream he had due to the fever and that it will vanish soon after but upon seeing the changes in my son, I decided to change my mind . His calm temper didn’t change, but the way he acted was no longer that of a child . Most people got scared of this change and chose to stay away from him . But that was nothing . The changes in my son actually appeals to me since that’s exactly what I wanted him to be .

[I want to read books . I want to know all of the contemporary knowledge . ]

[I want to swing a sword . I want my physical strength to be in balance with my knowledge . ]

When I saw such a situation, I was forced to re-evaluate my thoughts .

Even if he bore the memories of others, he’s still my son . If he got the memories of a Hero, then it only means that the G.o.ds had their own designs for him .

So I just let my son do what he wants . My son read and learned from many books and absorbed the knowledge like a cotton absorbing water . I let him to study abroad so that he can obtain the knowledge to the highest degree . As for swordsmans.h.i.+p, he already had what I could say a G.o.dly skill . However, I still felt that his experience in real battle was still lacking so I asked Rouen as one of the best warrior in our family to refine that part .

With his increasingly vast knowledge, his refined fighting prowess and his original gentle temperament kept intact, people naturally gathered around him again .

Looking at this situation, made me think… .

What I can do now is to wait carefully until this son of mine gathered enough power before I let him off to face the world . I have a feeling that he is the child of destiny that will bring changes to this vicious world… .

Edgar took a deep breath, and asked his son once more .

[Are there more other like this…?]

[I don’t know . Why did an artifact of Galgain even appeared in the forest of evil in the first place I can only think that someone had done this intentionally . And this requires a thorough investigation . ]

[Understood . This matter can’t be overlooked . I will try to investigate this . ]

[Thank you very much . ]

To his son who was bowing his head, he had to tell him what he has to say .

[You must be tired . Go get some rest . By the way… . . Sharon came barging in here yesterday, angry because you broke your promise . ]

[HA!? The-then what did Esteemed Father say… . ]

Looking at his son’s look, a mischief sprouted in his mind .

Looking at his son’s look, a mischief sprouted in his mind .

[What did I say back then again… . . anyways, won’t it be better if you go apologize now?]

[Haa… . I completely forgot… . that I promised Sharon to be her swordsmans.h.i.+p instructor…does Father know where she is right now?]

Whilst looking back and forth between his son and Rouen, Edgar gave a subtle reply while laughing heartily .
[She’s next door . ]

[WAA! Why didn’t Father say so earlier! Please excuse me!]

Edgar laughed and said silently as he watched his son leave in a hurry .

[The memories of the Hero are also useful at times like this . Troublesome you are, my son . ]

Edgar Schwarzer was known as the father of the King of Heroes Ares, who, although not affiliated to the throne, was widely mentioned as [Grand King] inn history books .

He was the first to notice his son Ares’ talent, supported him from behind and kept him safe during his early years . The first and foremost, who understood Ares the best .

Despite mostly hidden under the grandeur of his son, he was a very capable monarch and was loved by his subjects .

… . however, he loved to tease his son, which was probably the only thing that frustrated Ares regarding his father . Not many people know about this little fact .
