Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 55

Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (55)

Even in , an organization that adventurers active in the Atlantis Maritime Union are required to join, Grade A was an area with no room for further advancement.

There is only one adventure group classified as S grade.

Because there was only ‘Wild Hunt’ that halted the progress of Ma Kyung-hwa in Sea Area 5. If it weren’t for their respect for the legendary feat, they would still be ranked A.

So, grade A could be said to be the de facto highest grade.

“Rep. Pablo himself is a powerhouse in the Transcendental Sutra, but the members below him are also veterans of the 7th degree or higher in the Outer Power Sutra. “Moby Dick’s performance is on par with my ‘Aquamarine.’”

It was an opponent that Francis could not possibly face with his strength.

Even excluding the power he has as a member of the 13-member council, he is a transcendental person who can even lead an A-class adventuring group. Even a single violent collision will unilaterally shatter this side.

In order to keep Pablo in check, had to step up at the organizational level, or Matopp had to step in as a sponsor.

Leonard raised a question that suddenly occurred to him.

“But was it okay to cut off Luciano’s arm and kill his men?”

“Yes, no problem.”

Francis explained with an expression as if he knew he would ask that question.

“For Representative Pablo, Luciano is no better than a pet dog left unattended in the front yard of the house. He doesn’t care as long as it saves his life. Perhaps because of that indifference, he grew up to be more of a bastard than you could imagine.”

“indeed. It doesn’t matter where you get hit, but if you get killed by someone, it means your face will be ruined.”

“Exactly! Even if you are an illegitimate child who is not interested in you, everyone knows that you are my child. And everyone in power has no choice but to be sensitive to the reputation of those around them.”

Since Leonard had often witnessed similar situations in Moorim, he was able to quickly understand the causal relationship.

There were even cases of intentionally causing the death of an illegitimate child and using that as a pretext to attack another clan.

“Well, Leonard has nothing to worry about. “I don’t think even Representative Pablo would want to mess with me over something like this.”

It seemed like there was something going on that Leonard didn’t know about, but Francis walked away without explaining further.

Marianne, shoulder to shoulder with him, whispered.

“Miss, you are in a delicate political position in this Atlantean Maritime Federation. Counterweight… Rather, it is a fuse for gunpowder. “If you don’t touch it, it won’t be a big problem, but if you touch it incorrectly, a large-scale dispute may arise.”

“I don’t think Pablo would want to take that risk either.”

“Yes, no matter how powerful Pablo is, his rivals in the United Council are fully capable of exploiting the gap. However, you should not take advantage of the young lady’s position too aggressively. “You probably know why.”

“… Is it because if everyone hates us, the current tacit inviolability could be broken?”

Marian only nodded once, agreeing with his answer.

Still, I had to admire Leonard’s extraordinary insight.

‘Are all Cardenas’ blood relatives like this? It wouldn’t be enough time to just train them in swordsmanship at a young age, but to also develop political insight and insight? The prestigious families of the empire are truly of a different caliber.’

Leonard, who had unintentionally misled Marian again, followed behind the two.

I didn’t know where my destination was, but I wasn’t in a situation where I could take any personal action yet. People whose affiliation and identity are not guaranteed are treated hostilely everywhere.

Francis spoke as if he had read his mind.

“I’m going to first. “All work related to the adventure group is handled there.”

Leonard’s identity verification and affiliation registration, the return of the ‘Aquamarine’ adventure group, and income reporting must be completed.

Francis’ complexion worsened a little as he suddenly had a mountain of work to do. Even if Marian helped me, I would still have to concentrate on that work for three or four days.

Having a good administrative system was not necessarily a good thing.

“ha… .”

Francis let out a long sigh without realizing it, and the sound of footsteps following behind him gave him some strength.

One increased into two.

In that case, two can be increased to three.

From here on out, it depended on what she worked hard to build up.

‘Yes, my start starts now.’

The steps toward became more cheerful.

, which is a major member of the Atlantean Maritime Union, a source of income, and a collection of adventure groups, had the appearance of being a center of enormous power, money, and people from its facilities.

Like a whirlpool in the middle of the sea, the exterior wall rotates like a wave, and reflects sunlight and shines brightly without allowing anyone to look inside from outside the building.

Although it was a bit short in height compared to the Great Tower of the Union Council or the Magic Tower, it was larger than that in terms of area.

“… “That’s impressive.”

Even Leonard, who had been so surprised and happy on the way here, was at a loss for words.

The military and financial power of the Cardenas family cannot be compared to those of the Maritime Alliance, but since they were fundamentally a military family, their spending and values ​​were frugal. This means that unnecessary expenditures are not made to increase or decorate the building.

However, the Atlantis Maritime Union was luxurious to a level that people who visited this land could never forget, as if they had a sense of duty to let the world know about the wealth within them.

“Well, it’s just a bunch of money.”

Francis’ assessment was harsh.

“Bermuda hasn’t done anything this extravagant since it was founded. The adventure troupe is basically a group of wild people with skills and talents, with few people of high status. “The origin of ‘Bermuda’ was that we came together because we didn’t want to be under anyone’s control and we didn’t want to be interfered with.”

Except for Arcadia, which is strictly based on meritocracy, nowhere on this continent do people look down on those who try to overcome the class system based on ability alone.

Even before the Atlantis Maritime Alliance put forward its name, the adventurers who began to flock to the sea were people who experienced it firsthand several times and were shaken by it.

Therefore, the purpose of the founding of was to create an association free from the class system in this sea, and to establish a group that would not bend to nobles or royalty.

“but.”

Francis smiled coldly and glanced at the undulating walls of Bermuda.

“How many people truly hate the caste system? Everyone has their own dissatisfaction with that position. “What did the adventurers pursue when they had all the military power, wealth, and power?”

The correct answer came to Leonard’s mind without difficulty.

‘No matter where people live, there are similarities.’

It was a common sight in Moorim.

A group or association is organized to represent the small and medium-sized factions, and those who take the lead within it become the owners of the new Daemun faction. And they are exploiting small and medium-sized literary circles as if they have forgotten the past.

What they truly wanted was not the justice and equality that came out of their mouths.

“It will make a difference. “Division of rank or grade.”

“oh! How did you know? Did Marian teach you?”

“Haven’t Fran been grumbling since we entered the dock? Class A adventurers skip port entry procedures, or something like that. “Whether it’s true or not, discrimination exists and people are talking about it.”

Francis’ eyes widened in surprise.

“It could have been a joke, right?”

“From time immemorial, satire has been a means of criticizing the flaws of the establishment. “It wouldn’t be uncommon for something that started out as a light joke to become a formal question.”

“Hmm, it’s just as you said.”

Francis said, snorting with unexpected pleasure.

“But it’s hard to explain in words how explicit and vulgar that method is, isn’t it? “Experience it yourself.”

“what… ?”

“Now, let’s go in. Marian too.”

“Please stay safe when you enter , lady.”

Leonard with a puzzled expression, Marian pressing her temple, and Francis accompanying them approached the main gate of .

Surprisingly, the door had no handle.

She wasn’t surprised or embarrassed by him, and instead took something that resembled a seal from her bosom. The door that came into contact with the sign immediately responded with an inorganic voice.

{B-007 ‘Aquamarine’, confirmed the mark of leader Francis Ler von Oceanos. We will guide you to Zephyrus Hall.}

At the same time, a high-dimensional magic circle appeared on the surface of the door, opening a spatial passage leading directly to somewhere inside the tower.

Unlike ultra-long-distance space doors, it was a stable path.

“Leonard, do you understand?”

Francis sneered, unable to hide the cynicism in his voice.

“For adventurers entering , the space available for each level is limited. Grade B is like Zephyrus Hall, Grade C is like Euros Hall, and so on.”

“Of course, only upper-class adventurers are allowed to cross that floor.”

“yes that’s right.”

, which wanted to escape from the oppression of those of high social status, was acting like an aristocrat who distanced himself from the lower class.

It was difficult not to laugh at that ridiculous appearance.

Marian spoke to her as if to calm her down.

“… Lady, it’s time to get to work.”

“Do not worry. It’s always been like that, right? “Because I can wear an iron mask in front of other people.”

“Let’s go,” Francis and the other two crossed the gate of .

and.

‘hmm.’

The interior took on a completely different appearance in just a few steps, and the surprise made Leonard’s eyebrows tremble.

If it weren’t for the reality that I could feel with my five senses, I would have thought I was in a fantasy camp.

Oreichalkos Hall.

Notos Hall.

Euros Hall.

You pass three halls in just three steps, pass through a hallway that becomes more extravagant with each step, and enter the fourth hall. The hallway after that was cut off, as if it was impossible to get to the fifth hole.

As soon as I entered the fourth hall, I heard the voice again.

{Welcome, Francis. Congratulations on the return of the ‘Aquamarine’ adventure group.}

Their destination was the ‘Hall of Zephyros’.

“Aquamarine… ? “Are you a princess?”

The people gathered in the hall recognized Francis and his group and began chatting.

“It’s been a while since I last saw you. “It looks like this voyage went quite far.”

“The only true force is Marian, but it’s brave to come back without dying every time.”

“You don’t know anything about aquamarine? “With just one captain, you can roam around Sea Area 4 as if it were your front yard!”

“her? “Luciano, that bastard didn’t covet it for no reason.”

Some laugh, some pity, and some are wary.

After going through those emotions one by one, Leonard reexamined Francis’s positional situation.

It wasn’t just hostile bastards like Luciano.

However, I had no choice but to listen to the story about Leonard himself as much as possible.

“This is my first time seeing this face. Is that the princess’s pillar room?”

“He’s a guy worth ripping off and making a living from. His body is also very well-trained, and he looks like the escort knight from the novels that noble girls like.”

Perhaps it was because of Luciano’s earlier verbal abuse that I never got that angry. If there had been another guy who was a male prostitute and all, he might have drawn his sword.

As a result, Francis and his group were able to reach the window without anyone interfering.

A beautiful woman with a neat and clean air was standing there.

Clara, the teller at Zephyros Hall, greeted politely.

“Welcome back to Atlantis, Commander Francis. How can I help you?”

“I will request payment for the mission report assigned to the ‘Aquamarine’ adventure group and provision of lodging and meals commensurate with the period of stay! Oh, were there any people who wanted to join the adventure group?”

In response to Francis’ expectant expression and voice, Clara spoke as if she did not know what to do.

“I put a lot of effort into recruiting and promoting the ‘Aquamarine’ adventure group, but… .”

“are you okay! “You can still wait!”

Francis, who was the first to overcome her embarrassment, spoke.

“A new member has just joined and I was about to ask you to go through the transfer process!”

“Move-in procedures?!”

Only then did Clara, with a truly surprised face, discover Leonard standing behind Francis.

I looked at him with a blank expression for a moment, but the job of ‘s teller wasn’t for just anyone. Clara, who came to her senses in a matter of seconds, bought time with a single cough.

“Well, what is the member’s name?”

She herself couldn’t tell, but her voice came out several times more intense than usual.

Some of the adventurers who had been watching Clara knowingly or unknowingly rolled their eyes, but no one was watching them.

When Francis gave a small wink, Leonard took a step forward and opened his mouth.

“It’s Leonard.”

“Leonard… Yes, it’s recorded. “If there is an area you are working on, could you please share the information about it?”

Perhaps because Leonard looked young, the atmosphere inside the hall was not full of high expectations.

Only Francis and Marian were secretly smiling.

Leonard said, as he had previously said with the two men.

“This is the 2nd stage external force mirror. If you want proof, I can show it to you right here.”

“… … yes?”

A heavy silence fell in Zephyrus Hall for an instant.
