Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 63

Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (63)

It was an incident that happened 8 years ago.

The golden age of the Aquamarine Adventurers.

The days when we explored numerous in Sea Area 5 and returned with the loot, bringing cheers from all over Atlantis.

Not long after Francis celebrated his 11th birthday, a dark and ominous cloud began to hang over Aquamarine’s nautical chart, which seemed to be full of success and glory forever.

The starting point of that destruction came from the .

―Comrades, the in Sea Area 5 is seriously polluting the sea in that area. The profits that can be earned have continued to increase, but if things continue like this, the entire Atlantean sea area may turn into a demonic landscape. We need to form a joint fleet to deal with it.

What Njord said that day changed the faces of all the members of the .

Among them, the one who reacted the worst was Pablo, who was the leader of ‘Moby Dick’ and held a seat in the council.

-The contamination situation in is properly controlled. Isn’t it concluded that demonic transformation will not take place for at least 30 years, or more? I don’t know why we’re bringing up something that we both agreed on and passed away.

The remaining lawmakers also seemed generally skeptical.

There were circumstances for that.

Most of the Atlantis Maritime Union’s enormous wealth came from the 4th and 5th sea areas. The large-scale marine resources and by-products of the other world that can be obtained from were valuable not only in the Magic Tower but also anywhere on the mainland of the continent.

However, if all the in Sea Area 5 are closed following Njord’s suggestions, not only will the continuous income coming in be cut off, but the source of income itself will disappear.

-no! This means that the rate of contamination in is faster and more severe than we expected! Ma Kyung-hwa must be blocked in advance! Aren’t there people who don’t know that?

-I would be against it. I think your worries are excessive. According to my own research, it is still a safe right.

The result of the parliamentary vote was Pablo with 8 votes and Njord with 3 votes.

2 votes were abstentions.

―Pablo! Please listen to me!

―Follow the rules of the , Chairman Njord. This is what you also signed.

―Let’s vote one more time, just one more time… !

Despite Njord’s pleas, the ultimately rejected the operation to seal off the 5th Sea Area, and also banned the spread of the story outside the Assembly.

This was because he knew how great the influence of the Aquamarine Adventurers was and how great the power of the people that could be moved by Njord’s words and actions was.

So there was only one thing left for Njord and Aquamarine to do with their hands and feet tied.

―The plans to leave the erosion of Sea Area 5 alone. They seemed more interested in the by-products pouring out of Atlantis than in protecting it.

Even the 6th sea area is expanding day by day, and if the demonic hardening progresses to the 5th sea area Aiolos, the sea of ​​Atlantis will deteriorate into an otherworldly environment in just a few years.

-We must step forward.

Aquamarine Adventure Team.

The pinnacle of an adventure group, each of whom was a strongman whose name could be spread throughout Atlantis, and who could not be considered equal to anyone in the maritime alliance of the time.

Aquamarine, with ‘Spirit Knight’ Njord as the focal point, began to attack the 5th Sea Area in earnest.

On the 5th day, was sealed.

On the 12th day, was sealed.

On the 18th day, the was sealed.

It was an operation led by Njord, who had been a bit neglectful of adventures due to a lot of work to be done in the . Aquamarine’s power, which was two or three times more powerful than when he was not there, closed the in less than a week.

If things continued like this, it looked like the 5th sea area could be stabilized in less than half a year.

however.

―Chairman Njord! It’s not too late, so take the Aquamarine Adventure Team and return to the Maritime Union right now!

As the in the 5th sea area rapidly disappeared, those in power cried out as their income was greatly reduced.

To them, what Njord said earlier was nothing more than a delusion filled with a desire for fame, and to them, Aquamarine’s feat was nothing more than a ploy to threaten their money and status.

He had no idea how many messengers, communications, conciliations, and threats came to him every day all the way to Sea Area 5.

-It’s a pity.

Njord was just sad.

Due to Aquamarine’s activities, the period during which Sea Area 5 was transformed into a demonic area was greatly postponed, but if the problem was not resolved entirely at this opportunity, it was a problem that would eventually erupt again.

However, if he continued to ignore the Maritime Union’s recommendations, the members’ personal safety could be in danger or suffer damage without his knowledge.

-Let’s take care of one more place and then go back. The Great Rift , if you just sew up that damned hole, you’ll be fine for a while.

It was the most dangerous and largest in Sea Area 5.

In general, the monsters living inside the cannot adapt to the outside environment, and only when erosion, which is close to demonic hardening, progresses can they escape from the and begin their activities.

However, deviated from that common sense.

Is the interior of not much different from the ocean of this world, or is the vitality of the monsters lurking within it able to survive even in an unsuitable environment?

Monsters similar to the Sea Serpent, but even more hideous, frequently escaped from within.

―The attack on begins. It will take at least ten days!

In Sea Area 5, Aeolos, the deepest and most dangerous sea, the strongest adventure group and the worst rift clashed on it.

The battle to conquer took as long as 15 days.

Only three strong men of the Transcendence and one 7th rank magician were mobilized, and that was enough. Even if only one person was absent, the level of difficulty was such that one could assume a failure in the strategy, or even annihilation.

however.

―… Returning to our homes. Aquamarine wins!

The strongest and best adventure group, Aquamarine, successfully completed the attack without a single fatality.

The great rift was completely sealed and disappeared from this fifth sea area. It was the disappearance of a dangerous situation that, if left as is, could have turned into Ma Kyung-hwa within three years.

Njord was satisfied with that.

He thought that all he could do was done and that he would have to go back to the Union and appease his angry friends.

―All right, Captain! It’s a raid! Unknown guys are blocking Aquamarine’s sea route!

Exhausted, he faced the swords of those who came to kill him.

-strong… ! These bastards are at least a B-grade adventure group!

-The smooth movement of that ship… no way?! Grade A, Moby Dick! The white whale is coming! Be prepared for impact!

―The power difference is too big! Fatigue is too high! If the battle continues any longer, everyone will die!

-They came with the intention of killing us all anyway! Even if you raise the white flag, these are not the people you will let go!

If Aquamarine had been in perfect condition, it would have been able to escape the siege with only a few casualties, or create a lull while inflicting enormous damage to the opponent.

However, right after the attack on , they were in the worst condition in many ways, and one by one they were defeated by enemies who would normally have been able to handle five or six battles alone.

Njord eventually spoke while shedding bloody tears.

-Take the seriously wounded and non-combatants onto the ship. We stay behind and hold them off until they can escape.

Their ship Aquamarine is a masterpiece of magic engineering that specializes in high-speed navigation and the function of protecting passengers rather than direct combat functions.

If you manage to catch A-class ships like Moby Dick, there are few ships that can chase after them.

Moreover, with Aquamarine’s four master-level strongmen and the main force risking their lives, the battle was temporarily overturned despite the numerical superiority.

Francis looked at the back of his reliable and great father as always, and then was carried to the cargo room in the arms of Marian, who was completely injured.

That was the end of the situation she remembered.

―… miss. The leader and all the members.

My father didn’t come back.

The members who loved her like a relative did the same.

The only survivors on the Aquamarine that day were the two of them and several seriously injured people who had been taken to the cabin.

* * *

“Just like that, Aquamarine collapsed, and only Marian remains by my side. “Most of the members who survived at that time had a hard time recovering due to the loss of all their family, colleagues, and friends.”

“… did nothing?”

“yes.”

Francis said calmly.

“I wouldn’t know if my father and the members came back alive, but they are not a group with enough affection to fight the for the sake of their lost shells. “A few people raised conspiracy theories, but they soon disappeared.”

It was a reality that was too harsh and even terrible for an 11-year-old girl to experience. The name everyone held up was falling to the ground and being trampled, and no one was helping.

They just look away with cold eyes or pass by with pitiful eyes.

Francis realized.

Atlantis and the sea that my father loved so much were so different from the days when he was immersed in them.

The , which was supposed to lead the sea properly, was already a hotbed of corruption, and , which was supposed to protect the rights and interests of adventurers, had turned into an organization focused only on its own self-interest.

“Aquamarine, the only ones left with me and Marian, couldn’t meet the quota to remain an A-grade adventure group, so we became B-grade, and we’ve been living as we are now since then.”

Because Aquamarine’s performance was so excellent, it was able to maintain at least a B grade. Otherwise, there would have been nothing to say even if it had been lowered to a C grade or lower.

It was not for nothing that Luciano was greedy for aquamarine.

Even if you use this ship properly, B grade is easy, and your ability increases to a level where you can go up to A grade.

“Someday.”

Francis’s calm eyes became dull for a moment, shaking as if he was about to shed tears, but soon returned to their strong color.

“I will find the traitors hiding in the , take revenge, and eliminate all in the 5th Sea Area according to my father’s will. “That’s why I haven’t given up on the Aquamarine name and continue to work while holding on to the superficial position of general manager.”

“Do you think it is possible?”

“no! “I never even thought about the magnitude of the possibilities.”

Francis immediately responded to Leonard’s words and clenched his fists.

“I will! I decided to do it, even if it meant giving up my whole life. So, I’m doing it.”

Leonard, who saw her true face, was secretly impressed.

When he was young, he lost his respected father through a disgusting conspiracy, but rather than being swayed by his desire for revenge, he does not stop moving forward in a direction based on greater justice.

It was not a mindset that a child under the age of twenty could have.

Even though the fatal loss she experienced in childhood caused her to mature prematurely, it would not be possible unless the seed was special.

‘It’s a great device. If the situation hadn’t been this bad, he would have made a comeback a long time ago. If the kingdom of Oceanus had been alive and well, she would have become a female monarch that will remain in history.’

Even Leonard, who had experienced numerous human groups, was a talented person who had only seen a few people.

Regardless of their martial talent or exceptional intelligence, they are people who naturally attract others and make them follow their lead.

Francis’ kingship was that outstanding.

“Leonard.”

She carefully looked into his eyes.

“You are the second member of our Aquamarine team. This is the first time anyone has heard the story of that day from my own lips. But just because you’re a lifesaver doesn’t mean you have to follow me. “There is no way that a comrade who was formed in that way would remain till the end while fighting against the or .”

So, Francis opened his chest.

“I hope Leonard follows me of his own free will. “Then, let me take you on an adventure that will be more fun than anything else!”

“hmm?”

Look at this? In front of Leonard, who looked up with an expression on his face, sea-green eyes sparkled beautifully.

Francis Ler von Oceanos.

The last survivor of the Oceanus royal family held out his hand.

“Would you like to turn this ocean upside down with me?”

Leonard smiled at that curiosity.

The fact that Francis’ fingertips were trembling slightly did not mean that it did not affect him at all.

“Sounds like fun.”

Leonard said, holding her hand.

“Where do you start?”

“First, we need to gather our colleagues!”

Francis spoke in a brighter voice.

“It’s a member recruitment!”
