I Became the Youngest Disciple of the Martial God Chapter 140

Episode 140

[…] … .]

However, Musin did not respond to my wish right away.

Not only that, but it looks a bit strange.

‘Mushin… … ?’

When I called carefully, Musin responded in a somewhat blunt tone.

[…] The reason why Yeonja calls me these days seems a little disrespectful. Is it because of my mood?]

How disrespectful… … .

What on earth does this mean?

It’s not that I don’t know the meaning of the word, but I just don’t understand it.

As I was quietly guessing what Mushin was thinking, he sighed and said.

[Yeonja, I am a martial god.]

‘yes… … .’

[I am not a historian, a wizard, much less an antique dealer.]

‘… ‘Uhm.’

[If you have any questions about nothing, you are always welcome. But to be honest, I find it a bit unpleasant to keep calling me for this reason.]

… Are you upset?

There’s probably a reason why it’s difficult to say this in one word, but my vocabulary isn’t that rich, so I couldn’t think of a better expression.

I thought about it for a moment… … .

In fact, my way of dealing with angry people has been fixed since ancient times.

‘sorry.’

[…] … .]

‘I never dreamed you were thinking like that. It’s my fault.’

First of all, you have to dive in head first.

[hmm… … .]

‘Musin was so good that I think I crossed a line without even realizing it. I apologize. From now on, I will never call you unless it’s about nothing.’

[…] greatness.]

Musin cleared his throat slightly and said.

[Well, I’m not even going to sing it at all… … .]

I knew it.

As this guy has a stubborn personality, he gets embarrassed when he lowers his head too much.

This is something I learned while comforting myself when I was upset about something in hell.

[…] I’m just saying that it’s too useless and you shouldn’t call me too often. I’m also in a state of being in the presence of Yeonja, so I’m usually quiet, so if I just control the frequency, it won’t be a bad change of mood for me either.]

‘thank you. ‘You really have a big heart like Hahae.’

[Are you being sarcastic?]

‘… ‘It can’t be.’

However, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have any sense, so refrain from praising him too much.

Anyway, only then did Musin seem to look around and opened his mouth.

[It’s a treasure trove. Do you mean to ask me to choose the most valuable item in this place?]

‘yes.’

[Hmm. It’s a pretty difficult premise.]

I asked cautiously.

‘In what part?’

[The original value of an item is fluid. Not only supply and demand, but also how much you need, and if you miss this opportunity, when will you get another chance? … . The value changes depending on many factors. So, from a universal perspective, the value of jewels or accessories is the most consistent.]

It seemed like Mushin was pointing somewhere.

[chamberlain… Something like that.]

In the direction I mentioned, there was a jewel that looked precious just by looking at it.

[Seonhongok Il Seonhongok. It is a gem so precious that it is called the king of precious metals.]

Jonathan.

In other words, rubies are the most valuable gemstone in this country.

Now it’s obvious, but it’s because it has a sacred red color.

Moreover, the Seon Hong-ok that Musin pointed to looked much brighter and clearer than the rubies I knew.

‘I don’t really need jewels… … .’

[I thought so. In that case, what the speaker truly wants is not an ordinary item of high value, but something that is needed immediately.]

‘Actually, that’s the problem. ‘I don’t need anything right now.’

Then Mushin burst out laughing.

[I don’t need anything… … . That’s arrogant. In my opinion, there are still many things Yeonja lacks.]

‘For example?’

[I haven’t completed the eclipse yet. The refinement method also needs reinforcement, and the harmony between the outside and the inside is not completely unified. The development of the muscles is also lacking.]

‘It’s mostly a problem that only time will solve.’

[yes.]

Mushin chuckled and continued speaking.

[But the weapons commonly called divine soldiers have something in common. It is possible to experience in advance the state that will be reached someday.]

‘hmm… What does that mean?’

[For example, even a block of steel that cannot be cut with the current state of affairs could be cut like tofu if there was a weapon called a new sword. If you wear armor that doesn’t even get scratched by a sword, muscle training will be put off as a priority.]

‘ah… … .’

Only then did I understand what Mushin said, and at the same time, I thought it was a fresh perspective.

Musin did not treat Mugu only as Mugu.

[That’s why it’s dangerous to be obsessed with new recruits. There are often people who mistake the realm they briefly glimpsed through trickery for their true realm. but… … .]

It seemed like Mu-shin was intentionally blurting out his words, so I received the backstory.

‘If you take those points aside, using excellent weapons will definitely be advantageous in battle.’

[That’s right.]

It’s a little surprising.

Judging by Mushin’s tone and atmosphere, I thought he was a very stubborn and proud warrior.

Also, in this regard, we have very practical values.

I suddenly became curious.

What kind of life did Mushin live before becoming a mushin?

[hmm… … ? This presence is-.]

At that time, Musin made a curious voice.

‘What’s wrong?’

[Yeonja, please go to the left.]

‘The left one?’

Even though I felt doubtful, I faithfully followed Musin’s words and walked out.

[Just a little bit, a little further forward… … . Stop now.]

Eventually, where I stopped, there was an item that did not fit in with this splendid treasure trove.

A vicious tool that can cut through anything that bothers it by crossing two extremely vicious blades.

in other words… … .

‘scissors?’

[hmm.]

Musin looked at the scissors with confused eyes and opened his mouth.

[Can you touch that for a moment?]

‘Of course.’

I picked up the scissors.

The blades of the scissors were heavily rusted. It seemed like an incredibly old item, and it would be difficult to even cut hair with it.

[I knew it… … .]

Musin let out an exclamatory voice.

‘What is this?’

[…] It is one of the few sacred relics left on the continent.]

‘A holy relic?’

[A medium that can connect directly with God. maybe… Modern humans would call it a holy relic.]

“ah!”

I let out an exclamation without realizing it.

Only then did I realize what Musin was talking about.

It refers to a relic of God.

A treasure among treasures of which only 99 exist on this vast continent.

I have encountered sacred relics.

[Bine’s Chain]

I saw Ludwig, who I met at his home, use it. Of course it was a replica… … .

Even though it was a counterfeit, it was amazing.

‘for a moment… … . Now that I think about it, isn’t the Sword of Seven Deadly Sins a holy relic?’

The Nameless King is one of the five kings who are revered as gods after death.

Of course, the Seven Deadly Sins Sword is not the only famous weapon that symbolizes the Nameless King, so it may be a bit ambiguous.

‘Are these scissors the original and not a counterfeit?’

[That’s right.]

If Martial God were to assert this, it would be true… … . I couldn’t help but look down at the scissors with slightly suspicious eyes.

‘… It seems too shabby for a relic.’

[It must have been neglected for a long time. It probably hasn’t been long since it was excavated.]

‘aha.’

[You can use it as is, but there is a risk that it will break if you use it two or three times. We need to find an excellent blacksmith and carefully remove the rust and reinforce it.]

‘He’s an excellent blacksmith… … .’

The first thing that came to mind was the dwarves, who were also born engineers.

If I had known this would happen, would I have become closer to the dwarf Yeongdo at the retreat? That’s why, the dwarf next to Hector.

‘The name was definitely Basil Jules.’

Well, it’s not urgent right now, so it’s okay.

I asked the most important thing.

‘So this is expensive?’

[It’s difficult to judge it simply by value, but… … .]

Mushin said as if he were asserting.

[Even if you give me everything in this treasure trove, I will still choose these scissors.]

I grinned.

It’s decided.

* * *

Same time.

Twisted… … !

Alderson, who was nervously looking at the monitor, collapsed from his chair.

“Ha, Dean… … ?! Are you okay?”

“Uh oh, oh oh oh… … ! My, my treasure… … ! My treasure! My [Amon Scissors] … !”

“Ha, Dean?!”

“The Dean is having a fit! “Quick, quickly move the dean to the infirmary!”

“Keueeeeek-!”

* * *

[Amon’s Scissors].

That seems to be the name of these scissors.

From what I’ve heard, there’s nothing these scissors can’t cut.

It was a very fraudulent ability, but there was something important about it.

‘… It would be difficult to see it as particularly threatening. ‘Only because it’s this small.’

Is there anything that can be cut this wide?

Well, what about fingers or ears? It may be difficult, but it seems possible even with the tongue.

I wonder if it would be much more threatening to sharpen the blade and stab it.

[Amon’s scissors are now sealed. If you remove the rust and reinforce it, it will reveal its true appearance.]

‘hmm.’

If Musin is like that, then it must be like that.

I nodded to myself and went to Seren.

While I was picking out the scissors, this guy also seemed to have melted all the ice in his mouth.

At a glance, it looks like he handled it well.

Although not all of the elixir was dissolved, the prayer definitely changed.

“Did you pick them all?”

“huh.”

“What did you choose?”

Without saying a word, I showed him the old scissors in my hand.

I was wondering if this guy would recognize this too.

“… Those are ugly scissors. “It’s a bad taste.”

You don’t seem to know what it is.

I don’t think I asked because I was curious in the first place.

Anyway, Seren and I finally left the treasure trove.

It took a little longer than expected, but now we are ready to face the ordeal.

When we opened the door at the end of the treasure trove, we were immediately greeted by a spacious space… … .

I felt that the dimensions of the space were familiar.

“Is it a training ground?”

Seren must have been thinking the same thing, and she said the same thing I was thinking.

“You said it was Dalian’s floor, right? “It looks like they’re sparring here or something.”

There happened to be another large door on the other side.

[-That’s correct.]

A voice came from the void.

It was not the inorganic voice that explained the situation in the tower, but Dean Alderson’s voice.

For some reason, it felt like a very oppressed voice, and more than that, it felt like a tired voice.

Seren asked.

“You said the two of us weren’t fighting. So who is your opponent? “Other spirits?”

[I see.]

It was slightly steamy.

Another Yeongdo.

Are we really going to have to fight here with I vs. Iro and the other Youngdo guys?

‘I’m not confident I’ll lose.’

It’s obvious that he’s a guy who would rise to the 4th floor of Yeongdo.

Charon, Hector, Butterfly… … . If I’m lucky, it might be Evan.

But, needless to say, Seren is also not below Charon or Hector.

This means that no matter who steps up, the match will be one-sided.

So the question is, when will they get up to the 4th floor? … .

[Humans are evolving beings.]

At that time, Dean Alderson said something unexpected.

[In order to evolve, you have to overcome the past. And I designed this place – ‘Layer of Dalian’ – to watch the process with your own eyes.]

“… “What are you suddenly saying?”

[I admit it. You guys are not at the level of ordinary spirits. Compared to active heroes, he is already at a level that is not lacking.]

And I felt Alderson’s gaze.

[Especially Luan Badniker. Your physical abilities are amazing. I thought there would be no change in the top ranking on the 3rd floor until the day the ‘Tower of Asceticism’ closed… … . We set an overwhelming record that put those expectations to shame. That data was of great help to me too. Thank you in advance for that.]

“… … .”

After all, Alderson is a magician without fail.

If you see them suddenly falling into their own world and talking nonsense.

Since the person I’m dealing with is the dean, I can’t say anything rude, so I exchange a look with Seren and sigh… … .

Alderson’s voice continued.

[This tower meticulously records everything about the climber. Not only physical abilities, but also the martial arts used, characteristics, personality, speech, habits, and mannerisms. Those records are stored on the doll in individual form.]

“… save?”

[My name is Alderson Marvre. Dean of the Cartel Academy, a member of the Seven Colors Across the Sky – and the Empire’s only Puppet Master.]

RiSe also introduced herself in that way. Are there any rules when it comes to self-introductions for wizards?

Putting those useless questions aside, the atmosphere was somehow strange.

“What is Puppet Master?”

“Puppet master.”

“What is a puppet master?”

“A person who handles dolls.”

“… In that circus or something?”

Seren sighed and said.

“A doll like that would be cute.”

Alderson’s voice continued.

[4th floor of the Tower of Training – Trial of Dalian. What the climber has to deal with here is a being from the past. Honestly, I’m really looking forward to it too. It’s been decades since the tower was built, but this is the first time these two dolls have been sent out at the same time… … .]

Coo coo coo… … .

The iron door on the other side opened with a loud sound.

Seren and I looked beyond the iron gate.

“… … !”

We couldn’t help but harden our expressions at the same time, as if we were in harmony.

That’s because the faces of the Youngdo guys who showed up far exceeded expectations.

[-Leone. And Delak Badniker.]

Alderson said in a satisfied voice.

[In order to compete against the No. 1 player in the overall rankings, I have no choice but to bring out these two masterpieces.]

“… … .”

Only then did I understand Dean Alderson’s words.

therefore… Dean Alderson records in detail, from top to bottom, Youngdo’s physical ability to climb the tower.

It seems that the biometric records were directly injected into the doll.

‘What a crazy old man… … .’

Normal compared to Assad and Rise?

I will correct it.

Dean Alderson was a much more insidious and dangerous man than either of them.

Seren clicked her tongue.

“In other words, if it weren’t for your score, you would have been able to compete with a relatively easy doll.”

“… “You have no shame.”

“it’s okay.”

Seren’s gaze turned to the dolls.

“Is it true that an iron-blooded hero has been the strongest since he was born? When he was at the Academy, he probably wasn’t as strong as he is now. That person named Leone also looks similar to us or younger… … . Besides, no matter how precise the doll is, it won’t be able to use divine protection, so the fight itself will be worth it.”

“hmm.”

I agree with what Seren said, but… … . I feel somehow uncomfortable.

Sereung-.

Leone’s doll drew its sword.

Looking at that, I remembered the records I had read on the third floor.

‘2nd place overall ranking, Leone.’

Not having a last name means you are a commoner… … .

I saw Leone with my own eyes… … . To be more precise, Leone’s doll somehow felt classy.

In fact, this is not the only thing that is puzzling.

I looked at Leone as if searching and spoke as if I was hitting a player.

“I’ll take care of Leone. “You take charge of our matriarch.”

“You want me to take charge of the Iron Blood Ball?”

“I’m telling you this out of fear of misunderstanding, but you’re not criticizing me? Rather, it is a strategy to win.”

Seren, who paused for a moment, answered.

“Is it a matter of compatibility?”

“It’s similar.”

“… good. “But I can’t last long.”

“I’ll join you as soon as possible.”

The moment Seren nodded… … .

The battle began without any signal.

Damn, I sprinted towards Leone and pulled out the Seven Deadly Sins Sword. Since I still don’t have enough information about the opponent, I plan to start by using a sword to explore.

Kaaaang!

“… Haha!”

The moment the blades collided, Leone’s doll unexpectedly burst into laughter. The appearance is so human that it is slightly surprising.

Kaga River!

Two combinations, three combinations.

The more I exchanged swords, the more numb my wrists became. This swordsmanship is not a clumsy third-rate swordsmanship.

It is elegant and systematic. In other words, it feels like history. Just like the secret swordsmanship of a prestigious family.

Did commoners have the opportunity to encounter this kind of swordsmanship? The level of skill is also unusual.

Moreover, Leone used such sword skills wildly… The fact that he is able to mix his own characteristics with swordsmanship without being hindered means that his level as a swordsman is very high.

In fact, it is more difficult than just practicing stereotypical swordsmanship. Does it feel like an appropriate variation has been added to the classic swordsmanship?

The premonition I first felt has now become confirmed.

‘I knew it.’

At this time, Leone is stronger than the Iron Blood Ball.

That’s not all.

“… “You are Badniker’s child.”

I thought as I looked at the red eyes with arcs drawn.

“It’s quite strong.”

… Is this guy really a doll?
