Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 64

Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (64)

The number of people for each level of the adventure group stipulated in the Atlantis Maritime Union, or rather in , was not fixed.

If it is determined that there is sufficient power to explore the relevant level, approval will be given, whether it is one person or a hundred people. Of course, in order for a one-person adventure group to be approved for A grade, they would have to be a 9th rank wizard or a transcendental person with half-heartedness.

So Francis was thinking that the minimum number of people who could return ‘Aquamarine’ to Class A was around 10.

“You have to attract a 6th rank wizard or an adventurer with an external power level of 8 or higher to enter the stable zone. “It would be nice if we could include a master level player, but the possibility of that is very slim.”

The population of the central city of Atlantis is hundreds of thousands, and if you include the surrounding islands, it exceeds a million, but less than twenty people have reached master level.

Like Jack Russell, most of them were at the head of large organizations or held key executives, so it was impossible to recruit them.

Something suddenly occurred to Leonard.

“Fran, what are the sailors who accompanied me when they brought me to Atlantis? Are you allowing people who are not part of the unit to ride with you?”

“Oh, you mean them?”

Francis shook his head at those words.

“I rode with him for a while because of a request. “It is not enough to just find marine resources in Sea Area 4, but the request is completed only when we assist with the evaluation of profitability and the dispatch and return of investigators.”

“They are no different from investigators dispatched by the client,” she continued, complaining at length.

“It’s difficult to carry out a request that involves combat if it’s just me and Marian. “If you don’t at least improve your exploration request performance in that way, it will be difficult to maintain even a B grade.”

“Are you saying it’s a quota?”

“yes. “I don’t want to bring outsiders aboard the Aquamarine, but there are people who say they can’t just trust our reports.”

I heard there were some people who tried to save on the commission cost by capturing the raw fish house.

Leonard, who had been listening to the complaint, returned to the main topic.

“If you are planning to operate with a small number of elites, personnel selection will be even more important. Skills are important, but if you have to turn people like the or Representative Pablo into enemies, you have to keep in mind the possibility of betrayal.”

“Yes, there is no way an ordinary adventurer would accept the offer to recruit ‘Aquamarine’, who is well-respected by high-ranking people.”

Even though Francis always posted a notice recruiting members in , there was a reason why no inquiries came in, let alone applicants.

The fact that the name of ‘Aquamarine’ was mentioned was inevitably uncomfortable for , and adventure groups such as ‘Moby Dick’ were adding pressure, knowingly or unknowingly.

Those who came in without knowing anything would quickly run away, so the only option for them was the oddballs who knew everything but could still respond to the recruitment.

“It looks like Fran may have thought of a personnel appointment himself.”

In response to Leonard’s question, Francis said exactly as he said and took out the parchment he had kept in his pocket.

It was a long list written in small letters.

“Do you want to read it? “It’s just a brief summary of my skills and personal information, but I can’t think of how to recommend it yet.”

“I will read it.”

There was no significant difference in the language and script itself between the Atlantean Maritime Union and the Arcadian Empire.

So Leonard looked at the contents without difficulty.

Francis may have written it himself, but the handwriting was round and clearly visible.

‘If you have a family or someone you are responsible for, it would be better to exclude it. Considering the power of the and Pablo, it is quite possible for our relatives to be taken hostage or threatened to betray us.’

There is a scale in the human mind.

If you have to choose between the two, you end up choosing the closer and more intimate one or the safer one.

In the case of Aquamarine, it was neither.

Leonard, who had eliminated nearly half of the candidates from the list, selected two names.

24. “One-Eyed” Ninian

―An archer who only accepts requests for solo activities in B grade. It is estimated that he is 7th dan or higher according to the external force mirror, but detailed information on his abilities is unknown.

―There is sighting information of ears longer than humans and ears shorter than elves. Presumed to be a half-elf or quarter-elf.

-No experience of belonging to an adventure group. The period of activity in Atlantis is 5 years. He doesn’t make friends or colleagues, and when he’s not carrying out requests, he’s only focused on training his archery skills. His reasons for being an adventurer and collecting money are unknown.

53. “Whaler” Galano

―A spearman who only carries out battle-limited requests ranging from C to B grades. Estimated to be 8th level or higher. The spear used is a harpoon made as an artifact, just like its appearance. It is very quick to throw and retrieve, and has high combat power not only at close range but also at mid-range.

―A class A adventurer who belonged to ‘Aquamarine’, Dentuso’s only surviving family member.

-No experience of belonging to or founding an adventure group. He carries around a gang of people who are infatuated with his power, but does not establish an organization name or organization.

―I have been refusing requests to enter Sea Area 5.

“Ninian and Galano, both look fine.”

“yes?!”

Francis and Marian’s eyes widened.

Since they had considered the appointment before him, they were also familiar with the people Leonard mentioned.

Ninian had a history of causing bloodshed even in the middle of the city due to his unfriendly personality and belligerence where he used his hands before words, and Galano was completely let down after the death of his older brother Dentuso, so he only looked for profitable assignments and started running bars and bars. He was a person who went from battle to battle.

“Either way, the social skills don’t seem to be good, but I have never violated the terms of the request or broken the contract. “If we can find out why Ninian is an adventurer, Galano will be useful if we can bring that idiot back to his senses.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

Marianne, who was at a loss for words, spoke cautiously.

“Leonard, I think you’re forgetting one thing.”

Leonard asked with a puzzled expression.

“What is.”

“Ninian and Galano are both strong players holding high positions in Class B. Even if I step forward, I can’t guarantee victory.”

“There is no need for Marian to step forward.”

It was a firm voice.

This time, when the two people looked at him with puzzled faces, Leonard met their gaze and smiled.

It was time to talk about things that we both implicitly pretended not to know.

“I will include Ninian and Galano. “You two can rest comfortably in the meantime.”

“Um, Leonard? “What do you mean by that all of a sudden?”

“You guessed it. “I am Cárdenas.”

Francis and Marian froze side by side.

Leonard, who laughed at the expressions on his face as if he had been hit by a slingshot, spoke frankly.

“Fran is being sincere, so I am doing the same. Even if I face two people at the same time, I can win. “Please leave it to me.”

“… “Even if it’s Cardenas, aren’t you overconfident?”

If you evaluate Ninian and Galano like that, Marian’s eyebrows naturally twitched.

Even if he was the strongest swordsman on the continent, he could not be so arrogant with a 3rd level External Power Sutra. Leonard, who had been anticipating her reaction, responded without being offended at all.

“So far, there are three 8th dan and four 9th dan outer power sutras who have died by my hands. “They were knights dispatched from the shadow organization of the Kingdom of Cruzis who attacked Cardenas’ training facility.”

“yes?!”

“They said they would kidnap the children and find out the secret hidden in Cardenas’ blood. Well, I think he would be thoroughly retaliated against by the 7th Knights by now.”

Marian and Francis, who could not find the slightest falsity in his countenance, were astonished. If all three external force mirrors are at Leonard’s level, Cardenas’ true power is not even an estimate.

“Ah, of course, not all of Cardenas’ 3rd level external force mirrors are as strong as mine. In my case, a very special… “I think you can think of me as a genius among geniuses.”

“… “You seem too calm for a self-praise, don’t you think?”

Leonard just shrugged his shoulders at Francis’ words.

It was true that he painted his face with gold, but Cardenas didn’t have the talent to do this at the age of 15. Unless you were going to reveal everything about your past life, it was easier to explain it by presenting yourself as a genius.

“Ugh! all right. I didn’t see it with my own eyes, but Leonard wasn’t one to talk nonsense. “I will leave it to you to recruit Ninian and Galano.”

“I will live up to Fran’s expectations.”

Leonard just smiled as he looked at the faces of the women who had to worry about their problems as soon as they had resolved all their accumulated problems.

From their employer to the situation they were in, there was nothing I didn’t like. The difficult situation of having to face a very powerful enemy with a very weak force is his ideal.

‘Galano said he hasn’t returned from his request yet… I’ll have to go see Ninian first.’

Even though he was blind in one eye, he was a master of archery where distance was important. I was itching to find out his secret.

Francis said, pressing his palms together.

“Okay then, enough of the boring talk! Please tell me what kind of treatment you are receiving at the Magic Tower! “They say it’s hard to get level 2, let alone level 1, so why don’t you give away the artifact for free?”

“It’s not given for free, but it’s similar.”

After concluding the story about recruiting members, the three of them ate the prepared meal and only exchanged small talk that they had not been able to talk about for a while.

Because the days ahead will continue to be busier and more difficult.

It was just for this moment to shake off those thoughts before a new member came in. The Aquamarine Adventure Team decided to make a new start in a place where no one paid attention.

* * *

The capabilities and authority of , one of the three major organizations of the Atlantis Maritime Union, were truly enormous.

Every adventurer and adventurer active in this sea had to join , and any employment or fulfillment of a request that did not go through was immediately punished as a violation of regulations.

However, if it were an organization that only tightly restrained adventurers, it would not have grown to this extent or been maintained.

Unlike the or the Magic Tower, the people who made up were adventurers. There were times when he was biased depending on his level, but it was said that was the only place adventurers without status or background could rely on.

―I always say no, but I can’t imagine how despised adventurers would be without those guys.

―If you just raise your level, you can do everything from the training room to room and board for free, right? How nice it is to be evaluated based on your skills alone.

―Because is so tight, we don’t have to worry about our employers taking our money without paying us, right? They say the fees are shit.

Ninian, a Class B adventurer with 5 years of active experience, was also receiving training and lodging here in Bermuda.

It was to save every penny of the money earned.

Quang!

The arrow left from her bowstring hits the target like a cannonball. It was the sound of a shock wave exploding as it passed the speed of sound.

If you use the physical ability of the 8th level of External Power Sutra and the Aura, an arrow fired without any finesse will surpass a ballista. Even if a swordsman of the same level swung with all his might, he would be able to bounce back a few steps.

However, his ignorant shooting method was too crude and messy to be a master of archery.

“Wind.”

A voice so quiet that no one could hear it lingered around her bow and arrows.

and.

Piiiiii—!

The arrow fired once again stretched out in a straight line, but soon pierced the target with a zigzag path.

It was a sight that went far beyond common sense.

“You shoot terribly. Are you going to call that archery?”

“—Who are you!?”

It was then.

At the sound of a voice coming from behind him, Ninian reflexively turned around, measuring the arrow he had drawn.

There was a man standing at the point aimed with the arrowhead.

A handsome boy with blond hair and red eyes.

A man with the physique of a young man and the face of a boy, who could not help but be said to be handsome even in the eyes of Ninian, who is closer to the aesthetics of an elf.

“I was expecting it because I heard he was a single-eyed archer… “It’s a bit of a disappointment.”

Leonard, who caught a glimpse of Ninian, pulled out one of the longbows hanging on the wall and connected the demonstration.

In his previous life, the family where Yeon Moo-hyuk was born was a Yeon family.

His ancestor was Yeon Gaesomun, who was regarded as the strongest and greatest authority in Goguryeo, a country that collapsed more than a hundred years ago. He is a descendant of the country’s founding father who was the strongest warrior in a country known for being a good archer.

Yeon Moo-hyeok’s archery skills were at a level that could be considered top-notch.

Kwaaaaang!

As the arrow fired by Leonard moves forward, the wind around it swirls around, creating a spiral-shaped arrow that cuts out the front.

The arrow, which seemed to be several times more powerful than the one fired by Ninian, shattered the target plate and ground it to pieces without a trace. She didn’t even use her tricks, she did it with her pure archery skills.

He said to her with wide eyes.

“I am Leonard from the ‘Aquamarine’ adventure group. “I came to recommend Ninian, a B-class adventurer, to join.”

It was Leonard who shook Ninian with a single shot.

“Do you want to talk?”

“… … “As long as it’s just listening.”

Ninian fell for his trick and nodded.

The archery he showed before my eyes was very attractive. If I could learn that, it would be possible to earn more money by being promoted to A grade instead of B grade.

‘As expected. It was a bit different from what I expected, though.’

Leonard, who came for his first recruitment attempt, was confident.

Ninian has a reason to join ‘Aquamarine’.
