Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 126

Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (126)

Even the fastest language in the world cannot be faster than word of mouth, but what happened that day spread throughout the Federation faster than lightning.

The death of Pablo, a magnate of the “United Council,” the organization that ruled Atlantis, was just the appetizer.

The news of being defeated by a boy who was not yet 20 years old was shocking in many ways, but it was not as shocking as the news that all of Moby Dick’s adventurers, led by Pablo, were corrupted by colluding with foreign forces from beyond the .

It was an issue that went beyond the usual power struggle and threatened the safety of all residents.

“I heard that the Masterpiece-class ship, Moby Dick, turned into an S-rank giant monster and went on a rampage? “It’s probably just a rumor, right?”

“You idiot, do you think there were one or two witnesses? Do you think thousands of people have all seen the same vision?”

“It was notarized by the Chief Elder of the Magic Tower and Representative Gordon. “Regardless of whether it’s true or not, if you don’t watch your mouth, you might get taken right away by the guards.”

Those who disbelieve, those who criticize, those who are wary.

Regardless of their reactions, the shocking news continued without end. Following the defection of the Moby Dick Adventurers, the truth about the incident that occurred eight years ago was announced in detail.

Naturally, the residents of Atlantis were so busy exchanging stories that the lights in each house did not go out even after the sun went down.

“hey! “Ahab on the ghost ship beheaded Pablo!”

In a bar, a man shouted while slapping his friend sitting next to him on the back. The voice was so loud and loud that even the guests sitting at other tables turned their eyes.

Suddenly, an exciting story popped out, and the people who were laughing and talking immediately became quiet.

“‘Maestro’? So doesn’t that mean the Pequod has become a ghost ship? “Absurd things are happening one after another.”

“yes! Moreover, the Magic Tower announced separately that the ghost ship only seeks out and retaliates against the enemy who sunk it! “Then why would he find Pablo and cut off his head?”

The man, who understood what I was saying at once, put down his drink and muttered with a shocked expression on his face.

“… Could it be that the rumors were true? “Oh my, I feel sorry for our princess. What should I do?”

“How dare you! Not only did he stand up again after 8 years, he even defeated the adventurer’s enemy. How great was that? Put aside your cheap sympathy and toast to Aquamarine. hey! You guys do it too! “I’m shooting tonight!”

Then, the drunk people who were listening to the two people’s story laughed and raised their glasses.

“I will do it even if they don’t buy it! For Aquamarine!”

“””for!”””

The incident that occurred in District 3 involved considerable casualties, but more than that, it aroused interest.

For people who were already having a hard time making a living, comedy was more enjoyable than tragedy, and it went without saying that it was a heroic story that made one’s blood boil just by hearing the plot.

Atlantis soon heated up with great anger and excitement.

“Bermuda must compensate for the disaster that occurred in Area 3! “Apologise for not being able to figure out Moby Dick’s identity!”

“The same goes for the ‘United Council’! “The organization that governs the Union has become obsessed with monsters, so how can I trust you guys!”

It was the moment when the dissatisfaction that had been building up knowingly or unknowingly came out.

The Great Wizard, Gordon Haywood, who did not miss the trend, looked down at the angry citizens with a snake-like smile.

“Hehe, this is a golden opportunity.”

Since Gordon was quite friendly with the crack conservative members of the Union Congress, he was able to easily distinguish between suspicious people like Pablo. Originally, many procedures and procedures would have been necessary to search the lawmakers, but with the public will behind them, a few violations of discipline were not a big problem.

Even if you storm in in the middle of the night, grab that person by the collar, and drag him out, all the citizens would applaud him, and no one would condemn him for violating his authority.

“But I probably don’t have enough strength on my own. It looks like a lot of A-rank adventurers have been included, and there are probably some who are avoiding my eyes.”

“So,” said Gordon and looked back.

“Lend me your strength. “Not for my own self-interest, but to eliminate the threat from this sea as quickly as possible.”

“… “That tongue is still smooth.”

The chief elder of the magic tower, or rather, Russell, who became the magic tower owner as a contributor to the recent incident, answered bluntly.

“I really want to see you wasting away… Then there will be more work for me to do. “I will move on my own, so this time you will keep your pace.”

“It’s not that difficult.”

“What about that one? “Have you made any plans?”

The man who flinched at the Jack Russell’s glance and a swordsman buried in the shadows walked out with a puzzled expression.

It was Herman Melville, the former second-in-command of the Moby Dick Adventurers.

Although I left before the incident occurred, I had no choice but to participate in order to prove my innocence. I had no intention of leaving Atlantis yet.

“I know a few people who met with Pablo secretly. “They won’t even know I’ve turned around, so if I sneak attack while they’re off guard, it might be possible to capture them alive.”

“Hoo? It’s okay. “Prisoners are more useful than corpses.”

Unlike Gordon, who was impressed by the situation that suited his tastes, Russell simply calmly considered the conditions.

“There may be some who have already ceased to be human, like the members of Moby Dick. “Do you have the means to subdue them?”

“… “I think it would be okay to cut off all the limbs.”

“High-level mutants not only regenerate their limbs but also their hearts. Burning the cross section like a troll doesn’t work either. At least freezing it would work. okay.”

After reaching a conclusion while muttering to himself, Russell briefly rummaged around in his arms, took out a wand that appeared to be an artifact, and threw it to him.

The sensitive sense of the transcendental world reads the chill that exists within it.

If it hits you directly, even the Sword Master will be unable to move for a while.

“I have a good feeling. “You’re not even a wizard. Did you realize that right away?”

Russell, who recognized it from Herman’s expression, explained briefly.

“It is not an item that can be used for combat. Activate it after cutting off the limbs. The starting word is [Deep Freeze].”

“Won’t you die even if I freeze your entire head?”

“Some people will live, and some people will die. “Don’t worry about it, just use it.”

Even an average dark organization would immediately commit suicide if their true identity was discovered, but if they were worshipers of foreign media, there was a high possibility that they would die without opening their mouths.

Capture was something to be expected as an exception, and was not something that could be planned as an operational goal.

The most important part of this sneak attack was speed.

The masters who divided the activity areas on the map blinked.

“Let’s start right away tonight.”

The two people nodded once as if they agreed with Gordon’s words, and then ran out into the night streets of Atlantis.

The two archmages and the sword master began to work in secret.

Literally an enemy of all people.

Now that the pinnacles of violence, capable of single-handedly confronting the Legion, have gathered their power, there is no one left in Atlantis who can block their movements.

* * *

Three months have passed since that day.

It took as many as three months for the Atlantis Maritime Union to calm down, even on the surface. The defection of Pablo and the Moby Dick Adventurers only served as an opportunity, and all the problems that had been festering came out one after another.

In the governing body, the United Council, three of the only 13 members had their heads physically blown off, and members of the crack preservationist faction who had barely survived also lost their standing.

It was the same with “Bermuda.”

Executives connected to the three executed lawmakers had their lives confiscated along with all their assets, and adventurers who had fallen for Moby Dick were also discovered and fighting broke out throughout the city.

However, since the strong and dangerous elements had already been dealt with by the masters, they could not hold out for long and were subdued or executed at the scene of battle.

In total, there were 15 A-rank members and over 300 B-rank members.

“The only place completely unrelated to foreign worshipers is the Magic Tower.”

The lawmaker, who was sweating coldly as he read the endless list, muttered, and Russell, who was sitting across from him, snorted.

Because it was nonsense brought about by ignorance about wizards.

“You state the obvious. Wizards and foreign gods are fundamentally incompatible beings. “Even those on that list may be magic swordsmen, but there will not be a single pure magician.”

“… “It is true.”

“The wizards in Moby Dick were probably not wizards but foreign magicians who controlled the power of foreign powers. Because there is no way those who follow foreign media can be forgiven by the power of world law. In fact, the traces they left behind confirmed the existence of laws that are different from those of this world.”

If a proper wizard accepted the power of a foreign god, it would be the same as throwing away all the knowledge and training he had accumulated up to this day.

It was not for nothing that foreign worshipers were unable to infiltrate the Magic Tower.

For wizards, the power of foreign bodies or alien laws were something to be studied and dissected, not something they could hold hands with or allow into their bodies.

“Okay then, let’s start voting now.”

Looking around the several empty round tables, Gordon stood up from his seat and spoke with a triumphant expression.

Even before this incident occurred, he was proud of his authority as the second-in-command, but after becoming the beneficiary of this incident, he was actually treated as the chairman.

It would have been effective for him to have gained popularity among citizens by participating in the Moby Dick subjugation war, and that he was not satisfied with that and actively participated in the operation to track and destroy traitors.

And this vote was the declaration of the completion of the system centered on Gordon.

“About nominating Francis Lehr von Oceanos, leader of Aquamarine’s adventure group, as a member of this ‘United Council’. “Those who agree must raise their right hand.”

Some lawmakers frowned at the idea of ​​making the leader of the adventure group, who was not yet 20, a member of the National Assembly, but there was no justification or real power to dare to oppose Gordon’s words.

The United Council already owed Aquamarine too much.

‘There are only four people who were directly involved in the incident eight years ago, and I succeeded in restoring my father’s honor through my own efforts. As someone who hasn’t even reached midnight, I have nothing to say.’

‘Damn it, you’re persecuting me just because I met Pablo a few times. ‘I guess I’ll have to bow down to Gordon and that girl for at least 10 years.’

‘Your political skills are better than my father’s. Even Gordon is scary, but Russell has an archmage who became the owner of the magic tower as his guardian. Rather than going against Francis for no reason, it would be better to go under him.’

The lawmakers, who were knowingly or unknowingly watching the people around them or sighing deeply, raised their right hands without any consideration.

Among them was the Atlantean magic tower owner and Jack Russell.

Since the only organization that had nothing to do with foreign worshipers was Magic Tower, he also held a position as a member of the United Council. It was unpleasant to be unintentionally classified as a member of the Gordon faction, but it was necessary to take the wheel in order to quickly pacify Atlantis.

“There are 11 seats in favor, and 2 seats are vacant. “I would like to inform you that we have unanimously elected Francis Ler von Oceanos as a new colleague of the United Council.”

Clap, clap, clap, mixed with dry applause.

Some people are displeased, some people are nervous.

However, there was not a single person who was immature enough to show emotional changes on their face. If you were at a disadvantage, you had to lie down and wait for someone to get up again.

Politicians have been such creatures since birth.

“… Let’s end today’s union meeting here. The next meeting is in 15 days. If you want to change the schedule, please notify us before then.”

No more important agenda was raised than confirming Francis’ inauguration. After a short farewell speech, the lawmakers left the tower, and soon only three people were left.

Gordon Haywood.

Jack Russell.

and.

“I had no idea that not only would I be joining the ‘United Council’, but I would also be electing Director Francis as a fellow member.”

Benjamin, a man who had struggled to keep a straight face during the meeting, said while wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

Gordon, who laughed heartily at that attitude, encouraged him.

“You’re so humble. “I did some research about you.”

This time, a large-scale power vacuum occurred not only in the Union Parliament but also in Bermuda.

Five or six people died in high-ranking executive positions alone, and if you count the number of people who resigned while still breathing, the number was over twenty. There was no need to say anything down there. Those who had worked sincerely filled the hundreds of empty positions, and those who were selected through personal connections, bribes, or favors had to be demoted or recommended to resign.

“Everyone with more experience than you has flaws, big or small. No, everyone who rose to high positions, even those with short careers, did the same. The fact that your name was included in the position of congressman chosen by Bermuda means that your honest life has finally been rewarded. “It’s something to be proud of.”

“Okay, thank you. Representative Gordon.”

“Let’s talk later over a drink, Senator Benjamin. “Today’s protagonist is neither me nor you.”

Gordon took his eyes off Benjamin and looked around.

“Look, Russell.”

“what.”

“Is Congressman Francis still there? “I think it’s time for him to come up.”

Then the Jack Russell raised the corners of his mouth as if mocking him. He was going to give Gordon a different answer than he expected.

“I’m sorry, but I guess today isn’t the right day.”

“… what?”

“Leonard left the room. “As soon as she heard the news, she went straight back to the ship.”

Gordon and Benjamin’s expressions changed.

It had to be that way.

Leonard, a genius who reached transcendence at the age of 16, fainted after the decisive battle that day, but woke up again six days later. Just because I woke up didn’t mean I was completely ready. Because he fainted right before his eyes, his mind and body, which had been restored by breaking through the transcendental realm, were in even more jeopardy.

So, with that awakening, Leonard entered closed-tube training, and it has been three months since he has not shown himself.

“If it’s news related to him, I have no choice but to understand. “How about tonight, Senator Benjamin?”

“yes? Oh, I’m fine!”

“Let’s go and have a drink with those who are feeling winded. Russell, what about you?”

Russell turned his back on his invitation and answered coldly.

“I have no idea. I was also planning to go see Leonard. “Please spend some quality time alone.”

“Then just say hello. “Let me see your face before I leave.”

“… … joy.”

Russell, who snorted at the meaningful words, disappeared along with the light.

While looking at the empty seat he had left due to the spatial transfer, Gordon soon regained his leisurely smile and pulled Benjamin towards him.

It’s a good day for everyone.

Gordon, the archmage who had solidified his position as the number one figure in the United Council, looked at the horizon with a satisfied expression. Whether it was a coincidence or not, Aquamarine was anchored exactly in the direction the gaze was directed.
