9th Class Sword Master: The Guardian of the Sword - Chapter 355
Episode 355
Episode 117. (2)
The image of a broken door came into Yuma’s mischievous eyes. Behind Jeka and Marlon, who were puffing up with flushed faces, the maids of the upper ranks, whose faces were white, were embarrassed.
To come in after smashing the door… For a moment, Yuma wondered if he would really kill them.
“under. What is this from the wind in the morning?”
[These guys! It’s stern, my lord is ignoring me!]
Rakir, who hurriedly ran out from the next room, made a gurgling sound. Of course, Marlon and Zecca didn’t even pay attention and were rummaging through Yuma’s room.
‘There are no robbers.’
It was so absurd that I couldn’t even get angry.
No, I felt sad for some reason as I watched them turn the room upside down from corner to corner.
Should I say that it feels like seeing hungry ghosts who have not been able to eat well and are obsessed with food?
Marlon and Zecca rolled their eyes as Yuma took two pipes out of his pocket and threw them without hesitation.
“Oh oh! You will be able to go to Matan with me! I will allow it!”
“Finally passing this over!”
Yuma clicked his tongue as he watched them speak in an exaggerated theatrical voice. Either that or not, the two of them put on their pipes and made ecstatic expressions.
“They play very well.”
That’s what they said, but Yuma was still fond of seeing them foolish. A friend who never changes has always been a friendly law.
“Can’t you talk to the Balaur and ask for more? I’ll think about it a lot when I go back to Hamattan.”
“After stopping by Mattan, I will also go to Inz Bikan, so ask Kriesha directly. I come after washing.”
Except for Zecca and Marlon, the other colleagues were not going to be together on the way to Matan.
The person who will take care of things such as the Puang Merchant Rose Society, the Morning Star, and the medical reform of the Salove Corps must remain.
“The owner of the club asked me to tell you that I am sorry for not being able to have breakfast with you, Mr. Yuma. Apparently, since he returned after two years with the rose circuit, there must be a lot to prepare for.”
It was Natalie’s henchman Dawn. He was addicted to drugs as a bequest after being tortured during the past purge of the Rose Society, but with the help of the Jacques, he has now fully recovered.
“Natalie is very happy to see you have recovered.
Yuma tapped Dawn on the shoulder and simply finished the bath. And when the meal was over, Cog and Cindy took the dry food and travel items they had prepared.
[Come back, lord!]
Rakir flapped his wings and said to Yuma, standing in front of Tulka. Meanwhile, Malone and Zecca were arguing over who would sit at the back.
“If I hear the story that you stole the magic crystal again when I come back, there will be no turning back.”
[Don’t worry.]
As Yuma tugged at his mane, Tulka slowly moved on.
Naturally, the entire city’s attention was focused on them right before they left the gateway. A bard even sang a song called ‘Yuma-sama and Friends’ that made Yuma’s ears turn red.
“Kyahak kahaha…! Did you just hear the song, Jeka? Pooh. The last time you teased me for calling me a prince, Pip!”
“shut up. You are still the mercenary prince in the song, right? Even this woman and that woman are all dressed up.”
“No, funny things are funny, but even in the song, why am I a bastard of misfortune? Liz and I are really happy these days.”
Although the lyrics were full of praise, Yuma had a hunch that this trip to Matan would be filled with fun.
幸** “No, what. Yuma, do you have the power to attract thieves or pirate bandits? Somehow, whenever I go out with you, I feel like I get involved with those things.”
“sympathy.”
“So, I wonder if I’ll be surprised now.”
Surprisingly, in the last three days they arrived in the Egon Mountains, they had wiped out four groups of bandits.
On the night when the camp begins, the tulka go hunting for prey, and the ignorant bandits mistake them for ordinary tourists and attack them.
The three did not inform them of their identities and ordered them to do chores such as beating or setting up a tent just to keep them from dying. Thanks to that, there were some parts of the trip that made it a little easier.
It was a clear afternoon.
Tulka climbed the mountain at a leisurely pace, but the party was soon able to stand in front of the Worgs stronghold.
‘It’s been a while.’
Somehow, it reminded me of the first time I came here and competed with Malone.
‘I almost peed my pants when I first met Hugo that day.’
Hugo in those memories was like a mountain. A huge mountain that can never be climbed or climbed. An existence that cannot be reached even if you devote your whole life to it.
A smile crossed Yuma’s lips.
Not anymore. Yuma could now clearly see what height he and his master were standing at.
Sooner or later, that too can be reached.
But it wasn’t just him who was getting closer to that realm.
Among the young drones on the ground, there are only two men who can stimulate Yuma, Randel Jacques and Marlon. They too were growing at an alarming rate.
The three Yuma Randel Malone did not test each other’s skills by sword-to-sword duels every time. Even so, the three were aware of the fact that they were always competing with each other.
“Sorry. Originally, when I returned to headquarters, I wanted to start sparring with you, but I can’t this time.”
“why?”
“Sir Duran is not here this time. Now, it will be difficult for Boss alone to stop you and me from getting hurt.”
Marlon’s words, spoken leisurely, were not bluffing.
Marlon was not playing during the last time Yuma had been fighting various strongmen in the east and developing his innocence.
Even Yuma knew that even if he was not as good as Malone Zach, the swordsman before his return, Malone was indistinguishable from the current Randell.
No, Malone was definitely ahead of her in terms of her ability to handle the ‘sword’ purely. I mean Grandel Jacques.
If they fought with their Aura limited, even Yuma would not be able to guarantee a match against Malone.
“Hey, you two grow up slowly.
What do you say to someone who lacks talent like me? If you try to follow me, I will tear your crotch.”
“If anyone hears it, they’ll think you’re Doonjae Jeka.”
“Compared to you guys, I’m dumb.
If I hadn’t been able to learn Pidgin’s spearmanship, I would have given up long ago. Even if I can’t beat you guys, I have to be strong enough to fight back to back.”
As the group approached, the guards at the Worg headquarters rang the bell.
“Marlon Stormtrooper has returned. Open the door!”
All members of the Black Wolf were on standby at the headquarters.
It was to restore the damage suffered in the Rimt Battle.
Compared to the despairing atmosphere at the time, the number of casualties was small, but the vacancy of the elite assault force members lost in the Battle of Rimt was not small.
However, great mercenaries never blamed their clients for the deaths of their members, and the Black Wolves were the best.
Rather, the members stopped what they were doing and cheered as soon as Yuma entered.
To the Black Wolves, Yuma was no longer an outsider, but a comrade in arms and a respectable soldier.
However, only one person, Kagor, who had recently handed over the position of assault commander No. 2 to Marlon, barely held back his expression about to become distorted.
“Yuma!”
Zishka ran out and showed a happy expression. Behind her, Hugo and Cahel Povian stood side by side.
Zishka considered Yuma like a blood relative. So now, tears are welling up in the eyes of the former first princess Kyle Zishka, who was known for being strong and vicious.
“I heard everything from Hugo. I heard you almost died!”
“I am alive thanks to Godmother Zishka. If Captain Hugo’s application had been delayed just one day, we probably wouldn’t have met again.”
The two asked about each other’s well-being for a while and resolved their worries. When Hugo came to support, Yuma was also worried about the safety of Shuka, who was left alone in Matan.
“The same goes for Lord Cahel’s AoE Protection Artifact. how are you?”
Yuma looked at Kahel, who was approaching, and said.
“Everyone is doing well. Thanks to you guys for saving the world. These days, I live for the joy of watching my kids grow up. How these dark guys here are talking about you.”
“It’s still too early to say we saved the world.”
“Yeah, I heard that too. One more war remains…
They moved to Hugo’s room and continued their conversation for a while.
The reason why Yuma came to the Black Wolves in person was not simply to request a ‘search for the warlock Shiram’.
“Sir Cahel. Do you have any contact with the elders within Phobian who know about Hudin?”
“A few will do.”
“I’m not on good terms with Povian right now. Originally, the name Hudin is also a secret within the Povian family, which means that I cannot go and ask.”
“I see what you mean. It must be because of Ballinan and Aidan. don’t know As usual, I was also looking for a way to find him after hearing the situation from Captain Hugo.”
“Sir Cahel has other things for you to do.”
“Anyway, serving the old man is his specialty. What else?”
“I understand that the village of Miryak, built by Sir Cahel, is now saturated. It seems that there is a plan to turn the Matan territory near the Egon Mountains into a land for the Miryaks.”
Cahel bitterly bit into the pipe.
“…I know that it’s practically impossible. What kind of bastard has so many miryaks, it’s all like my sins in the past.”
“How about relocating some of them to the western part of the eastern continent?”
“Here, the Worgs and I protect them, but who cares for Mirjak in that faraway land? Besides, the war restoration is in full swing there, so the security must be messed up.”
“The Emperor of the East will protect you. Of course, it will be a secret migration, and they will have to cultivate the magic stone field there too. No matter how many magic stones there are in future wars, they will be a scarce resource.”
“It is an issue that needs to be addressed. Let’s talk about it in detail soon.
Above all, their consent comes first.”
“Yes, of course I think so too. Sir Cahel, discuss with Mirjak and tell me later. And Captain Hugo.”
“Speak.” “I
crossed the ‘boundary’ once in the East .
Even so, I haven’t learned anything about the existence of ‘Versis’.”
Right after welcoming Zishka as his bride, they had talked about the demonic dragon Versis, the original owner of the red dragon’s eyes owned by Hugo.
-…Anyway, Yuma. It meant that if Tejiz’s magic spell was real, he hoped it wouldn’t be a dragon related to this Dragon’s Eye. That dragon’s name is Versis. It is a dragon that has fought with me.
-Why did you think that Marong sealed in Tejiz could be Versis?
-Bercis is dead. If there is another dragon sealed in the human world, it is highly likely that it is a spirit descendant of Versis. It is a hybrid black dragon that we commonly call Marong.
-It would be nice if you could explain it more clearly.
-If you cross the boundary, you will naturally know.
Demon Dragon Versis.
It was a name that did not appear in any history book or mythology. Even when I met Sheltion and Krisha Mahatricya in the East, I couldn’t ask him about it because the situation was not going well.
“Versis was also one of the first dragons. As for his spirit family I know.”
Hugo seemed to be saving words.
no, it wasn’t cherished. It is impossible to speak. About Versis.
Yuma noticed that it was a type of authority and understood Hugo’s situation.
“I’m planning on going to find the magic dragon seal in Tejiz soon, Captain Hugh Go.”
“That will probably be your second boundary. Yuma, can you fight Kriesya Inuwa and win?”
“That’s a problem I’ve never thought about.”
“Bercis and his spirits are stronger than her. We must not forget that fact.”
Yuma nodded his head, not hiding his surprise.
“Are you going to head straight to Tejiz?”
“No, I was planning to stop by Inzbikan first and look for Kriesha-sama. We’ll be leaving right away in about two days.”
“Good idea. Is that all you ask me?”
“yes. But I have something to say.”
“What is it?”
“Thank you, Captain Hugo. This is the first time I’m greeting you since the end of the war.”
Hugo grinned. It was difficult to tell if he was still smiling or if his facial muscles were simply twitching.
“I just completed the request.”
“That doesn’t take away my gratitude.”
Again.
Hugo pushed the glass from the table towards Yuma.
“Then get a drink or something.
Your subordinates outside have been waiting for you for a long time.”
To the members of the Black Wolf, Yuma was a respectable soldier and hero, but on the other hand, he was also a young man ‘they saved’. They needed time to clink glasses and forge friendships.
Yuma poured a drink into her glass and lifted it to Hugo.
“Wet it.”
“Wet it.”
In the Black Wolves, a two-day drinking session took place immediately. Even Yuma, who was the second best drunkard, had no choice but to drink to the point of getting slightly drunk.
And late at dawn the next day, Yuma and Marlon Zecca, who had escaped from the Black Wolves, encountered an unexpected presence.
“uh. Hey hey hey. What’s hurting me over there? Have I been less sober?”
“I know. Is it a cloud…
Marlon and Zecca rubbed their eyes and looked up at the dark dawn sky.
What Zecca mistook for a cloud was none other than a dragon.
