Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 249

Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (249)

“… … “Now, what?”

“It is said that the Foreign Church that was hiding in Sea Area 6 has been exterminated!”

“No, I’m talking about what was reported next!”

“ah! Are you saying that all the influence of foreign media that had spread throughout the sea area has been consumed as a sacrifice, so there is no need for separate purification work?”

“… … “I didn’t mishear, it was true?!”

Coincidentally, regardless of the time and place, when Leonard and Wade were sharing almost similar sentiments, Atlantis was cheering at the untimely auspicious event. Not only was the phenomenon, which was thought to be an unavoidable or unstoppable disaster, resolved, but news that Sea Area 6 had been purified.

Even in the that the leader of the previous Aquamarine, Njord, had barely succeeded in closing, the difficulty of conquering it was close to impossible.

Therefore, there was no way that the entire 6th Sea Area, which had been demonized, could be covered even after several decades or more had passed. Even if we mobilized the entire adventure group that was classified as Class A or higher, it was fortunate that they escaped without being killed.

however.

‘The profits generated from sea areas 4 and 5 alone are enough to support the Maritime Union, but as for sea area 6… ?’

As the Arcadia expedition solved the problem, the sea area that had been neglected for more than a century was completely opened.

It is common knowledge that the second sea area is richer in resources and mana density than the first sea area, and the third sea area is richer than the second sea area. So, how much natural resources are buried in Sea Area 6?

Moreover, unlike the 5th Sea Area, which was full of high-risk monsters, the 6th Sea Area had just escaped the influence of the Demonic Realm, so there was no way that sea monsters would inhabit it on a large scale.

To sum it up in one sentence: low risk, high return.

It was an opportunity to make big gains with little risk.

“?Well, that’s what idiots think.”

Gordon, the head of the ‘United Council’, was a bit different.

Since he was both a politician and a magician of the 8th rank, he did not forget those whom he had no choice but to pay attention to. It was not the ‘Union Council’ or ‘Bermuda’ that acquired the exploration rights to Sea Area 6.

“Cardenas. No, it’s an empire. This is a country that can dispatch five demigod-level strongmen over very long distances. I guess we should judge that it is not that we failed to conquer the world, but that we did not do it. “Do you think that if you rule the world, you have more to lose than to gain?”

Gordon Haywood’s brain was spinning at full speed for the first time in a long time.

The term ‘wisdom of the elderly’ is basically just an illusion.

The experiences that young people have never had and the knowledge they have accumulated over the years ultimately cannot keep up with the changes of the times. The learning speed of his prime and the intuition that was so sharp that it felt like he would cut himself if he touched it were abilities that could never be regained.

However, it was a different story for an elderly high-ranking wizard.

“Despite being able to project that much power through the expedition, why did Arcadia, which was indifferent to the ‘cracks’ and ‘demon scenes’ on the border, begin to move in earnest? Aside from the sudden flooding of Sea Area 6, is the world moving in a place I don’t know about?”

High-ranking wizards’ brain functionality does not deteriorate until they die, and the study of magic formulas itself is no different from a training method that extremely develops memorization and calculation abilities.

Above all, in addition to Gordon’s experience and knowledge as a wizard, the experience he had accumulated as a politician and the amount of information he had collected were enormous, so there was bound to be a synergistic effect.

Even within the empire, most people couldn’t even guess, let alone predict it, so they could put their finger on this absurd fact.

Gordon’s spine went cold as he reached that guess.

“… no way.”

Are you preparing something?

Are you organizing things that could cause trouble in preparation for a situation where you have to mobilize the full power of the Arcadian Empire?

It may sound crazy, but it was hard to think of a reason other than this. I can’t even imagine how terrifying it must be for an empire that can easily achieve world conquest to have to concentrate its forces without even the slightest amount of time to spare.

At the very least, it was clear that it was not something that could be done by protecting just one person, who had to seriously predict the possibility of world destruction.

So it was.

Gordon Haywood visited the expedition team from the Arcadian Empire the very next day and shared his thoughts.

“Hoo.”

Corbin, the leader of the Young Dragon Knights, touched his chin with an expression of interest after hearing that reasoning.

He was a person who could not help but be highly regarded as the head of the Intelligence Department, as he could read the national trend without any information that could be called a clue and even pinpoint it through sense and reasoning.

If he was a member of an enemy force, he would have cut off his head right here, but he is a big name in a neutral force that is leaning toward our allies, and he seems worthy of being recruited directly. So he was touching his chin and not the hilt of his sword.

“I would give it a 9 out of 10. Excellent.”

“thank you… !”

Gordon was delighted with the fact that he had raised his price, but he made the announcement after confirming the existence of the crisis the empire was preparing for.

If Arcadia, which has a double-digit number of demigod-level strongmen, is defeated, it would be meaningless for the remaining countries on the continent to unite. It was nothing more than a mindless act, like a goblin charging at an ogre. The only best solution was to establish a cooperative relationship with the empire before anyone else and participate in overcoming the crisis.

“I guess just because it’s a remote area doesn’t mean it doesn’t have talent. Chairman Gordon, do you intend to become a bridge between Atlantis and the Empire?”

just as expected.

Corbin gave Gordon, who had proven his worth as a representative of the Maritime Alliance, the qualifications to become Arcadia’s collaborator.

As a politician, Gordon Heywood, who had come to grips with the ropes of the world’s most powerful nation, shook violently, but soon calmed down.

“of course. “I will accept this as the honor of my life.”

“I would even call this an honor. “Let’s discuss the details further now.”

The story between the two continued for quite a long time.

* * *

The expedition team that returned to the central city of Atlantis continued to rest to recover their bodies and minds after two major battles.

Leonard, who spent nearly half of his day eating breakfast, was not much different, and the same was true for Damien, who had his arm amputated.

“Tsk, the reaction was a little late.”

Damian, who had had one of his arms cut off by the power of [Scylla], checked the condition of his left arm by swinging it around.

If the arm had simply been cut off, it could have been completely healed with regeneration magic, but the Jinshin-level power attack went beyond the body and damaged the soul. It’s a shame that all of the [Hydra’s] poison disappeared when the powder body was expelled, otherwise a spiritual surgical excision would have been necessary to remove the poison that had clung to the soul.

Fortunately, Damien’s left arm was only slightly injured, and it seemed to return to its original state once the soul completed natural healing.

“Anyway, Leonard, why did you hand that old man over to Corbin? After doing some research, I found out that Atlantis is worth a lot of money. “If we include the value of the 6th sea area that we organized, we could have an influence the size of 3 or 4 large territories.”

“My influence is enough with the Golden Dragon Knights. “I have no interest in wealth and fame, and I didn’t want to worry about political maneuvering in a situation where foreign media seemed to be attacking me in droves.”

Moreover, Leonard opened his eyes and confessed honestly.

“There is not enough time to spend on the state and enlightenment that I briefly reached during the fight with [Scylla].”

Damian chuckled and nodded at those words.

“With a talent like yours and a training enthusiast, I can understand why your growth rate is so fast. It’s not something I can say after living thanks to you, but please at least say hello to your friends. “I don’t know when I will be able to come to Atlantis again?”

“I still have plans for dinner tonight.”

“It was useless advice, right? As promised to that Drake or Drunk guy, I will teach him how to control blessings. “I might not come back for a few days, so call me if anything urgent happens.”

Damian mentioned the promise he made in return for hiring the Wild Hunt adventure group and left the lodgings at that pace.

Unlike the right arm, the movement of the left arm was a bit unnatural, but it was much better than immediately after the battle. It seemed like everything would get better after at least a week or fifteen days.

Leonard, who naturally diagnosed his physical condition, belatedly felt a throbbing sensation in his eyes and rubbed the area around his eyes.

‘… Since writing ‘The Arrival of Suzaku’, the power of the dragon eye has not been completely controlled. The function was strengthened and then returned to its original state, as if to test how far I could see.’

It was a bit strange to look into Damien’s soul and guess the degree of recovery from the damage. Things that normally would not be possible for Leonard briefly become possible whenever the Dragon’s Eye overloads.

It may be closer to a transition period rather than an overload. Are the body and mind going through repeated trials and errors in order to adapt to the state that was briefly glimpsed in 〈Adventure of Suzaku〉?

Although my mind and body were becoming increasingly stable through fortune-telling and meditation, this phenomenon only became more intense.

‘I guess I should at least get some sea breeze.’

It wasn’t a problem that could be answered by thinking about it like this in the corner of the room, so Leonard left the dormitory and headed towards the dock.

It wasn’t long before the sound of waves could be heard, and the voices of anchored ships and adventurers began to echo from beyond.

Sisters Ninian and Vivian found Leonard on the other side of the street and approached him.

“Ninian and Vivian? Was it in Aquamarine?”

The elf sisters looked at each other once and responded to Leonard’s words.

“hmm. Because Vivian prefers being on a ship to staying in a hotel. “I was currently on my way to look around the shopping district.”

“Hehe, I don’t have all that good memories in the central city. Aquamarine, who welcomed me, was more comfortable and familiar to me. “Where was your benefactor walking?”

“Not really because I didn’t set a destination. “My mind suddenly became a bit confused and I wanted to take a walk.”

Leonard, who answered Vivian’s question, unconsciously smiled bitterly and reminisced about his past.

Yeon Moo-hyeok’s memories of taking his first steps as a warrior.

Contrary to expectations that the stronger one becomes, one becomes freer and less anxious, reality has become more and more complicated. Becoming stronger doesn’t just mean adding strength to your punches or swords; it also broadens your perspective and thinking, making you aware of things you didn’t know and things you didn’t want to know.

It was the same even when I reached the point where I looked into the realm of God.

“what? “A benefactor?”

It was then.

Vivian, who was tilting her head, rubbed her eyes, then came closer and looked at Leonard with her eyes wide open.

Ninian and Leonard didn’t know what was going on so they just blinked.

and.

“I don’t know why, but I feel a sense of distance. Should I say that I felt like I wasn’t human…? “I’m not good at explaining it.”

{Let me tell you from there.}

As if to supplement Vivian’s ambiguous explanation, Boreas appeared with a gust of wind. Perhaps because it did not appear with the power of a spirit king, it was translucent and small like a low-level spirit.

Nevertheless, Boreas, who showed off his dignity as an ancient spirit king, looked directly at Leonard and spoke.

{It is deification.}
