EP.132 People with rough mouths (2)
Sword Demon, Draka.
Uncle Kuntel once talked about Draka. I remember, this was probably a story I heard before I met Draka.
“He’s a dangerous person.”
Dangerous.
“He broke down the wall and became a superman in the easiest, but most unexpected way.”
I didn’t walk the right path.
“If the Valley of the Sword had survived… Draka would have been executed by Galatric’s executioners. “At Galatric, we have always been wary of the birth of someone like Draka.”
If only the Sword Canyon remained.
If the world were not in the apocalypse, Draka would be a person who deserved to die. The last sword pilgrim had evaluated the sword demon that way.
In fact, Uncle Kuntel didn’t seem to like Draka very much either. They said that they would leave it alone because it would help humanity for now.
“Well, regardless of that, he is a pitiful person.”
“To be honest… I think Draka is pretty crazy. At least the purpose of wielding the sword is clear.”
‘You’re so crazy, La.’
I smiled bitterly, remembering Uncle Kuntel’s words.
‘It’s so f*cking crazy.’
In my eyes, Kelhalm, who was openly called a madman, seemed more normal.
‘At least Kelhalm doesn’t massacre civilians.’
I looked at the man in front of me.
He was a man dressed like a shabby beggar, and the smell of blood emanated from his body.
“···Tsk.”
I clicked my tongue briefly.
Just looking at that face made me frown. She felt sick, as if she was going to throw up.
‘It’s annoying.’
A memory comes to mind.
Unforgettable memories kept gnawing at my insides.
“Ah, are you here?”
“You are the famous hero Kyle. Is that the gray wizard? And the shrine… ah, there was also a saint from the Delohim Church.”
voice.
“Oh, you mean this?”
The sword demon’s unique pitchless voice lingers in my ears. It was a voice that became a terrible memory for me.
“It’s nothing special.”
A burning village.
A human corpse mixed with a burnt demonic beast.
The decapitated corpses of villagers who tried to climb over the fence.
‘There is no way a demon could kill something so cleanly.’
‘There is no way the devil would erect a fence or anything like that.’
‘There is no way the demonic beast would set fire.’
That was something done by a person to kill another person. The corpses of human beings who struggled to live until the end were horrendous. At the end of the corpses stood a man.
Sword Demon, Draka.
He spoke, holding a torch in one hand and a sword dripping with blood in the other. The voice did not waver at all.
“I used it as bait.”
They said he used it as bait.
It’s no big deal.
“At least they let me die as a person.”
“It’s a fortune that not everyone can enjoy.”
“The Church of Delohim also promotes this method. “It is more beautiful to die as a human than to survive ugly as a non-human.”
The reason I didn’t kill Draka there was because Kalt and Kyle, who were standing next to me, tried to stop me.
‘···It was said that Draka’s presence is absolutely necessary to track apostates and read their trends.’
A being kept alive out of necessity.
To me, Draka was just that.
“···What did you say?”
“Are you deaf?”
So, I can’t speak well.
I had no intention of letting non-humans hear human language.
“It looks like shit.”
I have always told the truth.
Well, I was a pretty honest person.
2.
Sword Demon, Draka.
He narrowed his eyes. He narrowed his eyebrows. Although he had crossed numerous battlefields, the current situation was difficult to understand. That would be the case no matter who I put in this position.
‘···Sucks?’
I immediately heard that.
That’s what I heard from a girl I met for the first time.
‘What is this…’
Draka looked at the girl in front of him.
She has an expression on her face as if she has seen something truly disgusting. It seemed to her that the words she had spoken were not lies.
‘What would you say if it were you?’

Draka asked himself.
The answer to the question was simple. Probably, you would have responded by saying that you look like shit too.
“And you too…”
Draka was about to speak, but then closed his mouth.
This is because the face of a girl laughing, as if it was ridiculous, caught my eye. As she looked at that face, she couldn’t help but criticize her appearance.
“···You don’t feel dignified.”
In the end, Draka changed course.
“Looking at you, you look like the child of some noble family. Did you get a crappy home education? “Seeing how he criticizes the appearance of someone he meets for the first time, I can tell you the level of his family.”
Even if you don’t criticize her appearance, there’s a lot to criticize.
‘The density of living is different.’
It means that the mess that came across is different.
Among the children of prestigious families, there are always one or two people like that girl in front of us who only trust their families.
‘Children with high pride in their family.’
And, Draka knew well how to deal with such brats.
“It’s undignified. The way he speaks is cheap. “I’m really curious about the face of the father who can’t even educate my daughter properly.”
It’s a valid hit.
Draka looked at the girl with a sneer. As soon as I saw her, it was clear that she would fuss and react violently. However, she was different from Draka’s expectations.
“under.”
The girl just sighed as if she was dumbfounded.
She crossed her arms and blurted out.
“What a vagrant without a family name says.”
“······what?”
Draka’s eyebrows twitched.
“What can a vagrant who lost his territory, his family, and his country talk about his dignity?”
She shrugged her shoulders.
“Isn’t that like spitting in my face?”
Grinding, Draka’s teeth ground.
“Do you know who I am?”
“I thought I could tell by looking at your shitty face.”
“I know, but you talk like that? He seems to be the son of a fairly prominent family. But, it looks like you didn’t learn this from your parents, right?”
Draka said, tapping the hilt of his sword.
“If you mention my territory in front of me…”
“I don’t know about that, but I heard that once we meet, we’ll have a double kiss.”
“···What kind of crazy person said something like that?”
The girl shrugged her shoulders.
“The gray wizard.”
Draka’s eyes narrowed.
‘···Ashen wizard?’
He looks at the girl again.
Looking at it again, I see some resemblance to that invincible wizard. Those iconic eyes and hair are like that.
‘Come to think of it···.’
I think I briefly heard a rumor that the Trias family had adopted a new adoptive daughter.
“Are you from the Trias family?”
The girl nods her head.
Only then did Draka understand the situation. If you are from the Trias family to which the gray wizard belongs… it is understandable that you would immediately curse at yourself.
‘You look a lot like my brother.’
Even their foul mouths and dirty temperaments resemble each other.
Does the Trias family start by teaching the language of scratching others? With that thought in his mind, Draka smoothed the hilt of his sword.
“If that’s the case, then it wouldn’t be right for me.”
Keying, the blade rang.
The blade that slipped out between the sheath was red.
“I guess I lost my head.”
“Why, let me cut you?”
The girl raised her arms.
I pull down my gloves. Mana flowed out from under the pulled down gloves.
“Do you think I can’t do it?”
Draka said with an expressionless expression.
“Why don’t you try and see if you can do it?”
The girl answered provocatively.
Keying.
The blade that slipped out of the sheath rings.
Tick, tick, and sparks fly out onto the gloves.
It is an imminent situation.
The blood of those who watch it dries.
gulp.
The air current between the two is rough. It seems as if a wild beast and a wild beast are facing each other. The warriors watching the two swallowed dry saliva. Warriors have intuition.
‘It must be stopped.’
But how?
I didn’t think I could fit in between the two. There are only two types of things that can come in between.
‘He’s strong enough to get caught in the middle of them.’
Unless it is.
‘Are you an idiot who can’t even read the slightest hint?’
The warriors swallowed dry saliva and looked at each other. Someone has to step up. But I can’t bear to lose my footing. This is the moment when the warriors are in conflict.
“found!”
An angry voice rang out from somewhere.
The warriors’ heads snapped and turned. They looked where the voice came from.
“Why in the morning have we been to a place like this…! Really, it’s so hard to get a look at your face, you!”
White Magelord, Selly Debella.
She was pointing her finger at the girl.
“How much did I find?”
there was.
A fool who can’t even read the slightest hint.
“What is it? Why does everyone look at me like that? “What did I do wrong?”
“···No, thank you. “White Magic Tower Lord.”
“thanks? What?”
“Just, thank you. “I would be more grateful if you would quickly take Lady Rania with you.”
“No, it won’t happen even if I don’t say anything…”
Sally tilted her head.
It was a difficult situation for her to understand.
3.
The reception room of the villa.
In the room that she had decorated herself and had not yet cleaned out due to the warriors’ circumstances, Celie finally faced the girl.
‘I’m kind of moved…’
It feels like something is overwhelming me.
Sally opened her mouth with tears in her eyes.
“Really, do you know how hard I worked to meet you? “I’m not a person with this much time, but I spent so much time on you…”
The voice was somehow slurred.
Sally sniffled and swallowed for no reason and continued speaking.
“Still, I think I can spend this much time for you. Because it’s you!”
“Ah, yes…”
Unlike Celie, who speaks with an excited voice, Rania’s expression is somber. But Sally doesn’t care about that. Celie offered her refreshment to Rania.
“These are refreshments prepared by a famous bakery. Shall we talk while we listen?”
“I’m full.”
“···Have you not eaten breakfast yet?”
“I’m about to get full, so I’m not feeling very hungry.”
What else does it mean to be full?
‘It’s a refreshment that I prepared with the utmost effort… but it’s delicious…’
It’s a little disappointing, but Celie doesn’t show it. Sally immediately brought up the topic.
“Arranging a meeting wasn’t anything special.”
She took out a letter from her pocket and placed it on the table. It was a letter engraved with the symbol of the White Magic Tower.
“If you come to the north, shouldn’t you stop by the White Magic Tower at least once?”
“Tap,” said Sally, pointing at the invitation.
“Of course, if you just drop by, you will have to go through a cumbersome process… but if you have this invitation, you can just pass, right? “This is an invitation to meet me.”
This is an invitation of great value.
Saying that, Sally shrugged her shoulders.
“The North is a rough land. The North, called the land of warriors, is a little different from the society of wizards. “If you live in the White Night Castle, you will probably experience many inconveniences, right?”
It is a good environment for researching elemental magic.
However, it was not a good environment for a wizard to live in. Especially wizards who are not part of the Magic Tower.
“In the north, the White Magic Tower is the only one that handles magic materials and magic ores.”
Sally smiled confidently.
“Let me stop by. “I will guide you personally.”
And then he added a word.
“Is this a huge privilege?”
The word privilege was emphasized.
However, Rania’s expression is still grave. It was a face that didn’t seem particularly appealing.
‘This is not the reaction I expected.’
Sally swallowed dry saliva.
“You can also read the magic books I wrote.”
The interest on Rania’s face cooled a little more.
“Ore, a northern specialty…”
Rania looked at her watch.
“It’s meal time. “Okay then…”
“that···!”
She was just about to open her mouth as if to end the conversation. Sally hastily added her words.
“Winter supplies! portion! Rob! Again, again… Ah, yes! “We also provide ropes for climbing snowy mountains!”
···What is all this doing?
Somehow, I feel like I have become a miscellaneous merchant. Sally felt a strange sense of shame.
“···rope?”
However, the girl showed interest.
In a part that Celie could never have imagined.
‘Took the bait!’
And Sally didn’t miss that reaction.
“Yes, I often have to investigate snowy mountains, so I’m dealing with some mountaineering supplies. The quality is pretty good. We only handle items worthy of the name of the White Magic Tower. “Elegance is reflected in even the smallest details!”
“oh···.”
Rania nodded.
“I kind of want that.”
He finally showed interest.
Although Celie was relieved by that fact, a part of her mind thought, ‘Is this right…?’ A thought comes to mind.
‘You’re interested in mountaineering gear…?’
She was still an unpredictable girl.
A word from the author (author review)
It’s 12 o’clock!
