Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (177)
“… “This is kind of surprising.”
After regaining his composure for a moment, Wade’s face became as expressionless as usual. Basically, the head of the 7th Knights was a person who had experienced all kinds of hardships, but among them, Wade was the most seasoned.
Even if a meteorite fell in front of me, I would have drawn my sword first, and I wouldn’t have been the type to be surprised and delay my reaction.
The same reaction as before was truly an unusual case.
“I don’t think Damian or Audrey told you, but did you notice it yourself?”
“Yes that’s right.”
“how?”
Leonard answered the question by blinking.
Long eye.
Among the traits awakened by Cardenas’ blood relatives, these eyes are so rare and powerful that they can be counted on one hand.
“indeed. “It means that you have seen their flaws with the Long Eyes.”
Wade didn’t immediately understand it and muttered.
“This was only possible after Damian, a dragon eye possessor like you, achieved the status of a demi-god. “It could be said that he either has more talent or aptitude for manipulating his eyes, or is on the verge of reaching antipathy.”
Leonard, who showed interest in his self-talk, asked back.
“Captain, which of them do you think it is?”
“I’d like to say the latter, but it’s definitely the former.”
The answer came back without a moment’s hesitation.
The leader of the Red Dragon Knights, who was treated as the unspoken strongest figure in the 7th Order of Knights and who had reached the limit of his reflexes, closed his eyes and opened them.
The power and convenience of the Dragon’s Eye were something that even demigod-level strongmen could not ignore, but on the other hand, it was not much more than that. For powerful people who distort the laws of the world as they please, the eyes that can see the flow of the world or the mortals within cause and effect have little meaning.
“There are four types of power lurking within you. However, I feel like five are needed to complete the framework. In terms of progress, it could be considered 80 percent, but you probably don’t know that arithmetic is meaningless when it comes to breaking through.”
It was a correct theory.
Regardless of whether it is transcendental or anti-psychological, the higher you gain in any field, the more difficult it becomes to take a single step forward. Even if the width and breadth of a staircase on the first floor and a staircase on the 10th floor were the same, there was a fundamental difference between them.
This is why the enlightenment of a schoolboy who has begun to memorize a thousand characters cannot be equal to that of a university scholar who has read books from all over the world.
It was the same even if he was a genius. It was natural and common that the time it took to go from the transcendental state to the state of peace was longer and harsher than the time it took to just enter the martial arts and reach the transcendental state.
If there was even one wrong step on the path you passed before leaping to the next level, if you couldn’t find a topic to overcome the wall, 10 or 100 years could have been wasted.
‘Well, let alone ‘Yellow Dragon’, I had barely entered ‘Seoshinryu’.’
Leonard, who realized that he was uncharacteristically impatient, calmed his agitated mind.
The challenge of unification can only be achieved when all wood, earth, gold and water systems are fully equipped. There is no big difference whether you collect four or one of the five elements. Since we had to make every effort to go beyond the union of the spirits, it was not something that could be accomplished by just rushing that step.
Wade, who saw Leonard’s thoughts calming down, praised him with a rare faint smile.
“You know how to perfectly control your temper. “That’s great.”
It was one of the prerequisites for reaching the state of realizing mental martial arts and achieving half-heartedness. There was a need to overwhelm even the laws of the world with one’s own imagination, and there was no way it could be done with a mind that was lightly shaken by trivial matters.
Wade first laid out his reasoning.
“Not all Longan owners have the same level of expression of their characteristics. “The reason you noticed the Golden Knight’s flaws is probably because it contains a power that does not exist in Damian.”
Leonard’s eyes narrowed as he realized what he meant.
“Do you mean Dragonheart?”
Wade said, nodding his head once in agreement with the highest quality that only the previous heads of the Cardenas family had realized.
“In the end, [Dragon Blood Awakening] is nothing more than unleashing the potential of the blood because our progenitors were dragons. The horns, wings, and even eyes are nothing more than backwards versions of the original. However, only the heart, the dragon heart, is treated as an exception.”
In general, the heart is depicted as an organ responsible for blood circulation and the source of life force. Like the brain, it also functions as a vital point that can damage even immortality.
But Dragonheart was more than that.
Among the reasons why dragons can reign as transcendental species, if the power that accounts for the largest proportion is the dragon tongue, then the body organ that accounts for the largest proportion is the heart.
“Just by awakening Dragon Heart, your entire body becomes closer to that of a dragon, and your physical level rises several levels.”
When the old era came to an end and the age of dragons arrived, it was also the reason why mortals did not dare to resist the violence.
Magic below the 7th level cannot even scratch the scales, and aurors who cannot reach the realm of strength disperse like water mist. Because existence itself possesses a transcendental status, in order to fight against it, one had to overcome at least the boundaries of mastery.
Leonard listened for a moment and resolved my doubts.
“Then Dragon Heart can awaken all the possibilities of [Dragon Blood Awakening].”
“In theory.”
Wade, who did not deny the remark, responded calmly.
“The active Dragon Eye would have been influenced by Dragonheart first. “Can you explain what the Golden Knights looked like to you earlier?”
“… “It’s hard to describe in words, but it seemed like he was neither human nor dragon.”
“Did it look unstable?”
“It was a slightly different issue than stability.”
Leonard chose his words carefully and added a few words.
“The Golden Knights’ souls and bodies were strangely twisted. “It is a dough-like shape that has been clumsily mixed and cannot be separated again.”
“Distortion is a very accurate expression.”
Wade took it as if he knew how to say that.
Golden Dragon Knights.
The nature of the mystical armed group, known externally as Cárdenas’ strongest force, needed to be hidden in many ways. Not just for the purpose of concealing power, but also to prevent disturbances that would arise within the family.
“Say it bluntly.”
Finally, Leonard’s ear twitched without realizing it.
It was right after that.
“The long-cherished wish of the Golden Dragon Knights, who have wasted hundreds of years so far, is to ‘recreate’ their founder Cardenas.”
* * *
After a long battle, the Emperor Geonguk and his three wives defeated the dragons, ending the era of dragons and founding Arcadia.
The era of humanity has begun, surpassing gods and dragons.
However, immediately after its founding, Arcadia was in danger.
This was because it did not have a large land area and a huge population like Arcadia at the present time, and neighboring countries, dissatisfied with the existence of an emerging country, resorted to their own tricks.
Originally, the power of Arcadia, with its mythological level strongmen, would have overwhelmed them, but as the founder Cardenas, who suffered countless curses from his compatriots, died, a small crack appeared in that ironclad castle.

―Ragna, please listen to me.
The founder Cárdenas even dedicated his death to his lover.
Blood is drawn to awaken descendants whose blood will become clouded as they mix with humans, and as a swordsman, the karma that has reached the realm of gods is shed to instill martial talent.
At the same time as I was carrying out a plan that needed to be anticipated in hundred-year timescales, I also thought of a plan to fill the empty space at least temporarily.
―What I have forgotten due to the curse of my compatriots is my ‘body’, but I have not forgotten my ‘soul’. With Wickline’s help, it will be possible for my soul to stay after death without leaving.
Unlike mortals who circulated within the bonds of world law, immortals who reached the level of transcendence had to leave for the beyond.
It was a result of his willingness to wear shackles even after his death rather than disappear, leaving behind a precarious empire and his lover.
The ‘ritual’ prepared by the founder Cárdenas with his soul is just that.
“Gangshin (降神). “The spirit of the founder Cardenas borrowed the bodies of his descendants to deal with the crisis of the empire.”
The children born from Ragnar and her were so close to dragons that they could not even be compared to the Cardenas blood relatives of the current era.
Naturally, their talent and potential were formidable, and by temporarily borrowing their bodies, it was possible for Cardenas himself to display the same majesty as when he was alive.
It was not an easy burden for even a Half-Dragon to bear, but a crisis that required the progenitor to take action himself was not so common.
“The problem started after the blood started to get thinner.”
As Cárdenas’ lineage grew, its purity became blurred.
Not only would there not have been any dragons left other than the Progenitor, but if transcendental species that loved mortals had been so common, the existence of Arcadia and the Founding Empire would not have been praised as a miracle.
As numerous direct and collateral relatives were born, the power of the family increased dozens of times compared to the early days of the founding of the nation, but the ‘vessels’ that could bear the strength of the founder were inevitably reduced.
“At first, one blood relative could handle it a few times, but after a few generations, it came down to a level where it was difficult to succeed or not, with blood relatives of the highest level throwing away their lives.”
No matter how great the founder’s power was, he could not defeat all enemies from the heavenly world, the demonic world, and the outer world and conquer the beyond.
It might have been possible if he was still alive with his own body intact, but it was impossible while he was still alive in the body of his descendant. The limit was to counter the invasion of foreign enemies and counter their advance troops.
Fortunately, god-level beings were defeated by the progenitors several times, and no longer descended directly into Middle Earth.
“Optimists say they have given up, but I think the exact opposite. The invasion would have been postponed until the founder’s influence had completely disappeared. “For immortals, 1,000 years may not be that long of a time.”
Over the course of hundreds of years, Arcadia and the Samgong family grew stronger, and beings below the level of demigods were at a level they could handle, but the story was different for beings at the level of gods.
The Golden Dragon Knights were a group that assumed the worst possibility.
Those who saw that it was more promising to resurrect the founder than for someone to reach the Mythological Sutra on their own. It was also an organization that continued to challenge consciousness with a obsession that bordered on madness.
“By resonating with the blood and residual soul left behind by the ancestor, she transcends humanity and amplifies her karma to transcend the realm. “The knights of the Golden Dragon are all people who volunteered to be the subjects of that ritual and barely escaped with their lives.”
“Is the body that has become nothing a side effect of consciousness?”
“Yes.”
Wade declared.
“By accepting the progenitor’s karma, I learned the principles of the sword and acquired the physical abilities and characteristics to overwhelm the transcendental realm. However, taxidermy animals cannot grow any further and cannot defeat a demigod-level being. “In any case, they are expendable items that are sacrificed to the progenitor’s strong spirit.”
This was the reason why the Golden Dragon Knights could not be proud of themselves, contrary to the praise of the world, and even those who were greatly distorted in the name of radicals came out.
I applied for world peace and the glory of Cárdenas, but not only did I fail to achieve that goal, but I ended up becoming a half-baby who could no longer become stronger.
He was a master of excessive greed who coveted Shin Hwa-gyeong’s power without knowing his own worth, and it was a tragedy that began with a single mistake.
“I guess the reason I tried to take you away by force was because I was jealous that, unlike them, you were protected by the leaders without giving in to temptation.”
It is said that the request to be drafted into the Golden Dragon Knights cannot be refused, but whether or not one participates in the ceremony is entirely up to the individual’s will.
No matter how they were persuaded, it was their own choice to fall for him and set their sights on the power of the progenitor.
‘It’s good to be self-employed.’
Leonard’s expression became dry as he sympathized with his situation of not being able to move forward as a warrior, but could not approve of his move to pass on that situation to others.
Leonard wouldn’t have participated in the ritual if he had been taken to the Golden Dragon, but wouldn’t the intention itself be too malicious?
however.
“Captain Wade.”
Leonard raised an unresolved question.
“Then who is the commander of the Golden Dragon? “Did a half-hearted blood relative even survive that ritual?”
“No, those who have reached the halfway point cannot descend from the ancestors because their world of consciousness has its own laws. Let alone fulfilling the Golden Dragon’s long-cherished wish, I cannot even become the vessel of the River God. That’s why we only select promising players who are just transcendental.”
Wade was silent for a moment immediately after that, then opened his mouth.
“The leader of the Golden Dragon Knights… .”
Among the secrets hidden in the Cardenas Grand Duchy, there are three important details that only the leader level can access.
It was a problem that could make one subject to surveillance by the Young Dragon Knights simply by becoming aware of it. As the majority of knight commanders agreed, Leonard also had the right to know, but was reluctant to mention it directly.
Nevertheless, Wade did not stop talking.
“The remnants of the soul left behind by the founder Cardenas, that residual spirit, is none other than the Commander of the Golden Dragon.”
