Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 52

Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (52)

Francis Ler von Oceanos.

A girl who inherits the lineage of Oceanus, a kingdom that ruled the ocean several centuries ago, walks forward as if dancing on her two legs.

After walking in silence for several minutes from the cabin where Leonard had been secretly hidden, Francis turned to Marian, who had been following him step by step, and said,

“Is this okay?”

“I wonder if it was too much.”

Marianne said with an expression of disgust at that cautiousness.

“The lady’s cabin is thoroughly soundproofed, so it is difficult to hear sounds from 10 meters away even if the external force level has exceeded 5 levels. “I don’t know how highly you rate that man, but if you can hear a conversation from this distance, it’s already transcendental.”

“is it? “It doesn’t make sense to be a sword master at that age.”

“You can be considered a genius just by breaking through the external force realm before your coming-of-age ceremony. “He must be that type of person.”

Francis understood what she said and his eyes widened.

“Did you say Leonard was a genius?”

“Yes, you are a genius.”

Marianne concluded without a moment of hesitation.

“You probably know that I changed the man’s clothes when you rescued him from the sea.”

“Did you like it?”

“It was a great body… only! What I want to say is that the level of perfection of the body was ridiculous! “I’m not trying to criticize his rational charms!”

Marian exploded at every joke, but finally calmed down and explained in more detail.

“It is clear that he has been training systematically since childhood, providing him with neither too much nor too much nutrition, and focusing on basic swordsmanship to prevent him from developing bad habits. “Having natural talent was a bonus.”

Francis’ eyes sank like quiet sleep.

“You mean you are a blood relative of a famous family? And the treatment is at an unusual level. “There was only one family famous for its swords in the Arcadian Empire, I guess?”

“… Yes, there is a high possibility that he is a blood relative of Cárdenas.”

The Grand Duchy of Cardenas.

They were the most powerful family in Arcadia, a great empire that ruled more than half of the world.

There is an assessment going around that if it were not for the 7th Knights of Cardenas, who became more famous as a family of swordsmen, the Arcadian Empire would not have been able to recover even half of its current imperial territory.

A sword and shield that travels throughout the empire, cutting down everything that threatens the well-being of the people of the empire.

There is no greater fear in the countries bordering it, and it is revered as a guardian deity by the people of the empire.

“What about physical evidence? “I don’t think it was just a guess.”

“It’s just my own judgment… .”

Marian carefully revealed her inner confidence.

“Because of his sword.”

Francis turned around at the unexpected sound and asked a question.

“knife? “Wasn’t it normal?”

“It was a normally good item. There was nothing to criticize about the method of refining the metal or the center of gravity. “It’s hard to believe that something like that can be done with just one piece of steel.”

“You can buy a decent sword even if you’re not Cardenas, right?”

“No, that sword is not commercially available. There was neither the craftsman’s emblem nor the blacksmith’s seal. “It was a mass-produced product with uniform quality.”

That was something Marian could see through because she was a prosecutor.

“There is no place other than Cardenas that can mass-produce high-quality swords that are not distributed externally and consume all of them within the family. “The Grand Duchy of Zehire may have that ability, but their people are easy to recognize.”

Francis was so impressed that he even clapped with both hands.

“and! Our Marianne is this smart? “Those people who only think of me swinging a knife behind my back should know that.”

“I don’t know if it’s a compliment or an insult.”

“Anyway, there’s a high possibility that Leonard is Cardenas? That skill is also amazing. Also, it doesn’t seem like he’s the type to neglect his lifesaver, so he’ll be by my side for the time being.”

For her, who was already short-handed, Leonard’s presence was a happy miscalculation. The only thing that bothered me, the unknown identity, was almost half solved.

It seemed like he would give me an answer even if I asked him directly, but if I approached him like that, the goodwill he had been building step by step would be destroyed.

Francis’ honest and cheerful personality was his nature, but he also had the cunning to take advantage of it.

But Marian spoke carefully.

“… Don’t get too close to him. “That man has too many secrets, even from my perspective.”

“Does Leonard look that dangerous?”

“Yes, a lot.”

Francis’ eyes widened at that immediate response.

At the age of less than 30, Marian was a strong person who had surpassed the 6th level of the External Power Sutra and had killed thousands of people on a ship.

Before I joined ‘Aquamarine’ and took on the role of her escort, there were rumors that my head would be blown off just by making eye contact. She goes so far as to say that Marian is extremely dangerous even before she fights?

“I was superior in terms of the level itself, and I have no intention of losing even if I were to fight… The man smells of blood so frighteningly. “It’s like he’s killed several times or dozens of times more people than me.”

“Better than Marianne at that age? “Is that possible?”

“It would be something that cannot be understood through common sense. However, Cárdenas’ blood relatives go beyond that common sense. “There’s nothing wrong with being careful.”

Marianne, who had come to regard Francis as her younger sister, gave him advice with sincerity.

Although I have been working in this world for quite a long time, death comes equally regardless of whether you are a genius or a genius. And those who came out alive from the center had an aura similar to that man.

Monsters that cannot be determined based on the level of mana training.

“—As expected, I should recommend it to my adventure group!”

Francis’ words shattered the heavy atmosphere. Marian looked back at her, her bewildered expression on her face.

“yes? “Where have you heard what I said so far?”

“With skills that even Marianne is wary of, Cardenas’s swordsman is truly the strongest! “Isn’t it good because if we make them on our side, we won’t have to worry about them becoming enemies?”

“I’m starting to feel like I’m going crazy, so please think about it alone. “I won’t say more.”

“Hey, don’t do that!”

As always, the two walked up to the deck of the ship, bickering like sisters.

Today too, the ‘Aquamarine’ was cruising safely.

* * *

Atlantis Maritime Union.

It is a union of islands and archipelagos that cannot be called a country, and is a supranational organization based on numerous ships and regularly circulating ocean currents.

It was a masterpiece created in an environment far removed from the continent, and it was also the reason why people on the continent who were accustomed to the national system could not easily adapt to this place. The absence of a class system was consistent with the republican government that had once emerged, but the lack of borders or national views was unfamiliar.

Nevertheless, the current state of Atlantis was prospering.

This is because, with the vast sea area of ​​the southern part of the continent as its territory, the income continuously generated from the natural resources and buried in large quantities throughout the territory was astronomical.

“The waters of Atlantis are divided into a total of six layers.”

Francis must have been busy today, and Marianne, who came with his breakfast, was talking to him.

“The first sea area centered around the capital Atlantis has the highest safety level, and is also the area where the wealthy and high-ranking adventurers make their home. The name of the sea area is ‘Oreichalcos,’ and armed conflict is strictly prohibited in the waters of Sea Area 1.”

“sea… “If that’s the case, does athletics have nothing to do with it?”

“Because there is a security force stationed in the capital. “If you have the skills to do even that, there is no point in banning it.”

Marianne added a few words of explanation.

“The wealth gathered in the capital city of Atlantis is enormous. “That flow is inevitably accompanied by violence to protect wealth.”

“indeed.”

Leonard immediately understood what she said.

Wherever a large profit is made, a conflict arises between those who covet it and those who want to protect it.

However, as was the case in the past life, if the size of the upper class or the pyoguk exceeded a certain level, it was often accompanied by force comparable to that of the martial arts party. If bandits or enemies touched it, it was a day in the wilderness.

“Not only the adventurers exploring the external seas, but also those who came from distant continents are confident in their own abilities. Among them, the two most dangerous forces are.”

The wizards of the Magic Tower came to Atlantis, built a huge tower, and maintained the barrier magic that protects the entire city.

and.

“Bermuda is a major member of the Atlantis Maritime Alliance, a source of income, and mandatory membership for all adventurers. It is similar to the adventurer guild that exists on the mainland of the continent, but conflicts within the organization also occur frequently. In the end, if I take someone’s food away, I can make money.”

“Is that why Miss Francis needs me?”

“… I don’t have the authority to talk about that. “I hope you will ask her directly when she visits.”

Unlike Francis, Marian was honest and had little ability to conceal or deceive Leonard.

He got a rough idea of ​​the situation Aquamarine was in by looking at her complexion, and he became a little more cheerful. Rather than standing on the side of the strong and trampling on the weak, there is more to learn as a warrior by standing on the side of the weak and opposing the strong.

Leonard recalled something about the sea from his old memories.

‘I don’t have much experience in naval warfare, but… There was a handcraft I learned while I was at the Namhae Sword Gate. It’s been a while since I need to review it.’

There was a time when he was briefly employed as a foodie in a sect called Namhae Geommun, or Haenampa (海南派).

Most of the enemies they faced there were Japanese pirates who came from across the sea, and it was impressive to see them wielding thin, long swords and using different sword techniques than in the central plains.

The level itself was low, so it wasn’t much help in martial arts.

‘The martial arts performance at the Namhae Prosecutor’s Office was very good. There have been few sword techniques that delve so deeply into left-handed swords and reverse-handed swords.’

Martial arts such as Namhae Thirty-six Swords and Four Seas Bicheonpung gave Geomje Yeon Moo-hyeok a great deal of enlightenment, which was one of the reasons why he began using sword techniques without using his hands as he does now.

The same was true for the Baekho-style whirlpool, which runs in the wind.

“You would do well to hear from her about the remaining five districts. “I am only an escort, and I lack the ability or knowledge to speak from a national perspective.”

After finishing her story about the first sea area, Marian stood up from her chair.

“This is the end of my story. “Let’s go back now.”

“Thank you for your time.”

Marian, seeing Leonard’s polite greeting, paused for a moment, then turned to him and said:

“Let me tell you one more thing.”

Eyes worn out by blood and death faced each other on bronze-burnt skin.

It was Marian, who was at the 6th level of the Outer Power Sutra, and was now looking at the 7th level.

The fact that she was able to do this in the wild, even though she was not from a prestigious family like Cardenas, is proof that not only is her natural talent outstanding, but the experience she has shed and spread is extensive.

However, even though Marian knew that this handsome boy was a dangerous person, she could not suppress her favorable feelings towards his statuesque appearance and elegant manner.

“The ‘Aquamarine’ will soon arrive at the first sea area, Atlantis, the central city of Oreichalcos. Once you get there, please refrain from mentioning your origins. “There are quite a few people who are hostile towards people from the Arcadia Empire.”

“I’ll keep that in mind. Have a nice day, Marian.”

Leonard remembered something he had forgotten.

‘There is no way the continent’s strongest hegemon would not incur resentment from other countries. That was the case with those Cruzis guys, so it would be better to be careful here too.’

It is said that no martial artist can be free from the cycle of benevolence, but he did not want to make a fuss about things that were not closely related to him, such as the country or the people.

I cut because I want to cut.

I kill because I want to kill.

From the beginning, Geomje Yeon Moo-hyeok was a person who never had a sense of belonging or loyalty to his own group or group.

‘If I had been single by blood, it would have been okay to use my background as bait to make enemies… .’

Francis, Marian, and the ‘Aquamarine’ would be involved, so we decided to hold off on that option.

If they had known, they would have started a fight right away.
