The Second Son of The Marquis Runs Away from Home ~ Lacking Talent, He Abandons Everything and Becomes an Adventurer ~ - 205

Chapter 205: Awakening

“Ugh…”

When I wake up, I see the ceiling of the infirmary. As I sit up, Aria and the others rush over.

“Berg, you’re okay…”

“How long was I out?”

“You’ve been asleep for three days. It’s probably because you exceeded your limits and brought out the full power of Chaos Crusader… ”

“I see…”

After defeating Ill Eater and battling with Lowd, the strain of those fights must have caught up with me once the tension was gone.

“By the way, have you noticed that?”

Prompted by Aria, I look beside the bed, where Chaos Crusader in its sword form and…

“Huh?”

A white sword is standing there.

“Huh? No, why?”

“Oh, well, I’ll explain everything.”

According to Aria and the others, I was apparently rescued by High-End after losing consciousness in the realm. The last thing I saw before losing consciousness was likely High-End’s wings.

I get out of bed, strap Chaos Crusader to my waist, and pick up High-End. Without any resistance, the white sword fits into my hand, overflowing with power.

“This seems quite difficult to handle…”

I mutter to myself as I sheathe High-End at my waist, and Aria speaks up as if she remembered something.

“Oh, speaking of which, the guild master said he wants to talk to you about what’s next once you wake up.”

“The guild master?”

“Yeah, should I call him now?”

“No, my condition is fine… Let’s go to him.”

“I’m sorry for summoning you while you’re still recovering.”

The guild master, who was led into the office, says with a smile, but there’s a hint of fatigue around his eyes, suggesting he’s been working tirelessly.

“No, my body is already fine, so don’t worry.”

“I’m glad to hear that. After all, we’ve just overcome an unprecedented crisis. Everyone was in a frenzy, but things are finally starting to take shape.”

“I can imagine… So, what did you want to talk about?”

“Ah, there are two things… One is that the damage suffered by Grand Cruze as a whole in this incident is quite significant… There are voices within the Guild Union suggesting that we should collaborate even to the point of assisting the world in crisis.”

“That’s…”

“It’s temporary until each of us has recovered to a certain extent… But for now, we’re considering relaxing the restrictions with the Hume Continent. Initially, I’d like to ask you, as a knight of the empire, to facilitate this.”

As I ponder the guild master’s request for a moment, I realize that this incident has not only affected Grand Cruze but also the empire to some extent.

If it allows for greater trade with the Hume Continent on a larger scale, then there are significant benefits for the empire as well.

I exchange glances with Aria, seeing her nod in agreement before turning back to the guild master.

“Understood, I will convey that to His Majesty.”

“Thank you… And the second thing is…”

The guild master looks at me as he speaks.

“There’s talk of promoting you to the second ever Platinum rank in history.”
