Sword Pilgrim - Chapter 188

Episode 188

Repair the barriers that collapsed due to the trolls’ invasion and rebuild the walls.

After rebuilding the trampled village, the first thing Colius did after becoming the owner of the north was to build an outbuilding.

One outbuilding that is neither big nor small.

There was no fancy decoration there, but there was a treasured sword stuck in the middle that seemed to have existed for a long time.

The pommel, the tip of the sword inserted in reverse, was not crude, and the leather-covered handle was practical.

A sword with one side of the straight cross guard that protects the hand broken.

It was Bernard.

Callius stood alone in the gymnasium, staring at the sword.

Through the window in the ceiling, the twilight moonlight illuminates the sword in the dark gymnasium.

He just stared at Bernard for a long, long time.

I could have met him if I held the sword.

He didn’t bother waking Bernard unless he had a special purpose.

Although they normally quarrel, Colius always owed him a heartfelt debt.

But he died before he could pay it off.

But even if Bernard died.

Even becoming a sword, it seems she wanted to be of help to him. The space Bernard created is part of an image created to train more efficiently.

But on the contrary, it made my heart heavy.

“Why did you think of me so much?”

Bernard was the first name that Callius visited.

He was a person who would help players train, and the brain blue sword he had was also a very powerful sword among the spiritual swords.

So, Colius was the first to find him. To have his own sword after learning the sword.

after his death.

The idea of increasing the efficiency of training with a sword made from it was also at the base.

‘Bernard’s unique ability was originally a buff-type sword.’

It is Bernard who has a unique buff-type ability that shows the effectiveness of two or three strikes even if he strikes once.

But that has changed.

It was named “The Disappearing Star,” and when you hold the sword, you wake up like an Ego Sword.

Callius was happy with the change, but at the same time bitter.

For some reason, it seemed that the reason he changed was because of himself.

I wondered if it might have changed to that form because I couldn’t pass on the Yoo Soo-hwa, which I completed only after I died, to my disciples.

“You don’t have to worry about me.”

So he built a new gymnasium here.

Put Bernard at the center of it.

I made the whole building collapse when I pull out the sword using sacred arts and spirits.

I can’t pull it out with any force.

This place will become a gymnasium for northern knights with high potential to train in the future.

I’m trying to keep Bernard here so I can teach them a lesson.

Even if you don’t have confidence, you can meet many people and build relationships.

It was its own atonement.

About the master who died fighting alone.

again and again.

“Junis is back.”

footsteps and voices.

Callius realized that the voice he heard suddenly was Saint Ailee.

“is it.”

As soon as he arrived, Callius thrust his sword at Junice, who was hugged while talking nonsense.

Junice came for one purpose.

to receive new land.

But Colliers shook his head at her request. Instead, he summoned the Ashen Legion and sent them back.

They would be enough to annihilate not only the beasts of the White Forest, but also the tribes of Orcs beyond.

‘Since there is Bibi, most Orcs will be pushed to the northern end or die.’

Most will die.

It’s not that there aren’t strong people among the Orcs, but most of the ones near the border are tribes that have been pushed out of their power.

That’s why Junice grumbled and quietly withdrew.

“That sword. He said he was your teacher.”

“…someone said it.”

“Emily told me. If you have a chance, you’ll be looking at the sword here.”

Callius kept his eyes on Bernard and kept his mouth shut.

“Why did you build a gymnasium and put your master there?”

“…because he likes to meddle.”

If I’m alone, I’ll be hostile.

Callius built a gymnasium and placed Bernard there.

That’s it.

“Can I hug you?”

“You talk nonsense like Junice.”

“No kidding.”

It’s a confused voice.

Perhaps because of the bard’s blessing, he seemed to know what kind of emotions she had just by hearing her voice.

“Saint.”

“yes.”

“You seem to be hanging out with Emily often these days.”

“Ah yes. He is such a good kid.”

“He looked at me boasting that he had also received a precious gift.”

He quietly asked Colius if he could accept it himself.

“Yes…”

“Are you going to be a mother?”

Callius turned his back.

There was Ailee with her head down. “No…”

wiggling his fingers like a child who has done something wrong .

“Saint.”

“yes. Please speak.”

“You are the saint of the empire.”

Ailee opened her eyes wide, and her chin convex as if she were gritting her teeth.

“Me and Emily are nobles of Carpe.”

A calm voice follows.

Leaving the sword stuck in the middle of the dark gymnasium behind.

said to her

The saintess knew.

What did Colliers mean?

I knew better than anyone.

It was something I had been thinking about for the few days I stayed in the North.

Because it kept hurting me.

“I know. But now I’m just a prisoner…”

“You mean you’ll do whatever you want? He didn’t care that Emily was confused. What will I do if I meet Emily on the battlefield after the saintess?”

“That’s…”

I couldn’t answer.

It never occurred to me that I would meet Emily on the battlefield.

A child who is still fifteen.

However, in this harsh world, even children participate in the battlefield.

They see this as an honor and rush into battle to do their nobility duty.

She knew it well because she had already lived in this world for over ten years and had lived more tenaciously than anyone else.

A child who has no memory, but gradually begins to think of her as her own daughter.

However, Ailee clenched her fists to say that such a child is a battlefield.

“How about Emily?”

“…”

On the battlefield, the saintess will break Carpe’s swords again and again.

Because that’s the duty of a saintess.

But what should I do if I run into Emily in that situation?

And what will Emily think when she meets her on the battlefield?

Ailee didn’t even want to imagine.

Her long eyelashes quivered.

“Don’t do anything stupid.”

His voice as he pressed his shoulders into his chest pierced Ailee.

no good One word from him became a dagger and stabbed his heart.

not good for each other

It’s not a good relationship.

That’s what Colliers concluded.

“I want you to come back.”

Speaking again with his back shown, Colleas ordered her to celebrate.

With a back that still looks lonely.

Ailee bit her lower lip.

“I have no memory.”

“Know.”

“But I am me.”

Swoop.

Callius, who had turned his back, looked at Ailee with cold eyes.

“What do you mean?”

“Even if I don’t remember. even if I am Ailee. Even if I did something in the past and have no memory of it, I have to take responsibility. Because I have to deal with it to be me.”

Her words resonated deeply.

It was a sound that could be used even by Calius.

But it was also just momentum.

“…what can you afford?”

“That’s…”

“Can you betray the empire?”

“…”

The saintess was speechless.

Probably not.

The road to her becoming a saint must not have been so easy.

It is the path you have won.

If you give it up, it means giving up the past years and everything you have accomplished.

Whether or not it is possible, she has no reason to do so.

“You have already abandoned Emily once. Are you saying you want to be a mother?”

Ailee’s mouth was tightly shut.

Even with ten mouths, there was nothing to say.

If there was even a memory, there would have been an excuse.

However, she has no memory, and the reason why she abandoned the child is also correct no matter what the circumstances.

Ailee has no right to claim to be a mother.

It was a relationship that wasn’t like that.

“The saintess, nothing will change.”

“….”

“You are the spear and we are the sword.”

Whatever the past, it is the same.

It is a truth that will not change.

So the story ends here.

She is the Spear of the Empire and is now a prisoner of the sword.

“Don’t be obsessed with motherly love that you can’t even remember anymore.”

in the first place.

“Emily doesn’t want a mother.”

The moment I said that and was about to leave.

“Then what about you?”

tall.

Colius’ footsteps stopped.

Ailee’s cheeks turned slightly red as she grabbed the sleeves of her jacket.

But her eyes were stained with bewilderment.

It’s like he did something he didn’t know.

He was startled and immediately let go of his hand.

“…”

When he turned his head, Callius turned his head to see Ailee, who seemed to be waiting for an answer.

That face that subtly resembles hers.

When I look at it, the thoughts of that time come to mind.

At the same time, it reminds me of the pain of that time.

Callius brushed off her hand and answered nonchalantly.

“The woman I wanted is already dead.”

* * *

Prison in the North.

“Polytan.”

[Politan]

Grade-General

Monotonous status window.

But that was enough.

The baboon tore apart Politan’s body so much that it took time to recover.

It wouldn’t be a problem to turn them into gray knights even if there were only a few of them, but the difference between perfect and non-perfect ones was quite large.

This is because the rank when made into a knight is different.

“Pull out the thread.”

[Yes.]

As soon as he was summoned, Politan was loyal to him and released Branx’s brainwashing.

“Nari… Hib! Hey!”

“Don’t cry unsightly. worthless bastard.”

I don’t know if he’s crying because he’s suffering a lot, or because he keeps getting beat up, saying that the brainwashing will soon be lifted even after he’s been imprisoned.

His face was bruised here and there, and he wondered how a person could pour this much, so Callius curiously looked at the guy’s face before bringing up the main topic.

“Now let’s hear a little bit. How did you get brainwashed by him?”

“You son of a bitch! Because of that son of a bitch!”

Bran growled and Politan stood still with an expressionless face.

“As the master said, I was training to become a pilgrim of the Enlightenment while being taught various things by Sir Cedric. lol. As you said, I’m not talented with swords, but I still don’t throw a single punch. I’ve been doing the Ilchwiwoljang!”

“however.”

“By the way… it was one day. Isn’t Sir Cedric fighting Krasion’s guys? I don’t know why, but I helped! But then, at some point, my body didn’t listen to me, and I was dragged somewhere and beaten for a long time, and then a lot of threads were put in my body.”

Bran said that he wanted to die because his mind was exhausted because he was subjected to various experiments.

Then, he complained that the thread reached his heart and reached his brain, and he was brainwashed to help bring down the North.

“Please kill me sir!”

“Is that so? The North does not forgive traitors. Whatever the case.”

“Though!! If there is one way to survive, please!! Please let me know!!”

He changed his words right away and showed a servile appearance, so Bran was right.

Colius was relieved.

“Polytan.”

[yes. Lord.]

“Where is Krasion’s headquarters?”

[It’s in Laperion.]

Laperion.

An island surrounded by the sea on all sides.

It is a dangerous place where they sometimes get lost and wander because it is covered with fog all year round.

“Is Cedric there?”

“I do not know. We parted after that, so I don’t know where you are…”

Looking at Politan, he also shakes his head, saying he doesn’t know.

If it was Cedric, there was a possibility that he would have survived and went into hiding even after engaging in an all-out war with Krasion. He went south as he had told him and found the holy relic.

It might be in Carpe or with those who were worshiping holy relics.

So first of all.

“Brance. I’ll give you a chance to pardon your sins. You may refuse.”

“If I refuse, will you kill me?”

“Even if you didn’t mean it, it’s your fault that you were brainwashed. As the lord of the North, I have a duty to punish you.”

There are many ways the North governs sinners.

freeze to death or starve to death. Or toss it to the demons.

You can do all three at the same time.

Let’s tell this story to Brance.

“Whatever it is, I will definitely get it done! Come on, tell me!!”

“Politan and Beatty. And I’ll give you the Sangsang army, so destroy Krasion’s headquarters and come back.”

Krasion has several factions.

There are a few of them that even Colliers doesn’t want to lose Chuck. But that doesn’t mean you can’t just leave it like this.

This is a kind of warning.

A warning from the owner of the north.

“I want to go myself, but unfortunately I have a schedule.”

I had to bring the saintess to an audience with Her Majesty the Queen. I had to go to the church and do business, and there were plenty of people to meet.

And if you go, it will not be a warning.

“Warn them on my behalf.”

Take Politan and be smarter.

Mount Beatty and attack them. Send a warning message.

The North is not a place where you guys can do anything recklessly.

The owner of it is now.

“I will not stand it.”
