Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 68

Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (68)

.

Of the three major organizations of the Atlantis Maritime Union, it was bound to be the busiest. Compared to the , where only the 13 members and their guards could enter, or the Wizards’ Tower, where they rarely came out of their own workshops, the adventurers were very active and dynamic.

Starting with beginners who have taken their first steps armed with unfounded confidence, it is crowded with veterans who have survived on the seas of Atlantis for decades.

It was almost impossible to get bored just by standing around the building and watching.

“uh? “It’s Ninian.”

“One eye? “I heard that the fulfillment of requests has become a bit slower these days.”

Ninian, a high-ranking adventurer in Class B, was also well-known in his own way, so the eyes of onlookers gathered around him.

Leonard, who was walking one step ahead of her, also got some attention. I felt that the gaze of women was particularly sticky compared to that of men.

“and! Which family are you from? “This is my first time seeing it.”

“It must be someone from abroad. He might be an inland noble. “Ninian, isn’t it strange for that poisonous species to obediently follow you around?”

“For a nobleman, the clothes are a bit cheap. I also have a sword. “Isn’t he like a new adventurer?”

“Ninian takes care of the newcomer? “That’s really funny.”

Leonard picked up their murmur and whispered.

“How sharp do you have to be to get that evaluation of yourself?”

“Most of them were the ones who started the fight with me first. From my perspective, there were a lot of guys who tried to mess with me even more if I looked down on them. So, once you use your hand, you are sure to see the end.”

In industries such as mercenaries and adventurers, there were many cases where one had to gain the respect of others through force.

However, women were at a disadvantage compared to men in that respect.

The things that women could do, who were physically and outwardly difficult to intimidate, were limited. This was especially true when dealing with people who were particularly beautiful or driven by sexual desires.

“The guy who was trying to sneak into my tent put an arrow in his crotch, and the guy who had drugs in his canteen cut off his hands. “Seeing the blood like that makes the trash quiet down.”

He protects himself with the notoriety he has built up through cruel acts of revenge.

It is said that the famous female mercenary nicknamed ‘Ball Breaker’ was born for the same reason.

Leonard was satisfied with what she had done, but gave her brief advice.

“It is good to retaliate against evil intentions. It’s not a bad idea to create fear through cruel methods. But don’t make people who don’t even know you think negatively about your name.”

“… … “Keep that in mind.”

After learning the basics of kite archery from him, Ninian let down his guard and began to accept Leonard’s advice.

I may have come to think of him as something similar to a teacher.

The two entered the entrance of and entered the fourth hall. As soon as they entered Zephyrus Hall, the adventurers who saw Leonard and Ninian became noisy.

“One-eyed and new? “What kind of combination is that?”

“Are you really trying to get that Ninian to join Aquamarine?”

“If it’s that miser, there’s a chance. Whether it’s or ‘Moby Dick’, as long as you can make money, no one will care.”

I ignored their chatter and approached the window, and as always, Clara, who was in charge of the place, greeted me warmly.

“Welcome, Leonard. “Have you come to see Francis?”

“Yes, what are you doing?”

“It looks like you are continuing to use the communication port to encourage people to join the adventure group… “You don’t have much income yet.”

“Please call Fran into the chat room. “You can tell them that you have something to talk about regarding the registration of new members.”

Clara’s eyes widened as if she was surprised at those words, but she quickly returned to her calm expression and nodded.

After taking the key she gave me, I headed to conversation room number 3, and the room where he and Ninian had fought before appeared.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but it was a very unfortunate incident.

Ninian also cleared his throat once as he remembered what happened at that time.

* * *

Not even five minutes after the two people waited in the conversation room, Francis and Marian burst into the room.

“New member! Leonard, who did you bring?!”

“Miss, please keep your temper!”

To be precise, Francis ran in, and Marian quickly followed behind him. From the guard’s perspective, there was no situation more embarrassing than the owner’s attack.

Ninian looked at the two with a distrustful look, then looked back at Leonard and let out a long sigh.

I had already crossed the irreversible river.

“I am Ninian, a B-rank archer.”

Francis responded with a bright smile to her self-introduction.

“I’m Francis, the leader of Aquamarine’s adventure group!”

“This is escort Marian.”

Ninian shook hands with each of them and then stepped back.

“I’ve finished talking about my terms and conditions of employment, so I’d like you to talk to him. “Because I’m not good at speaking.”

“Wow! “Leonard, you really have fast hands, don’t you?”

Leonard was the first to shake his head in response to Francis’ admiration.

“The employment contract has not yet been concluded. In order to properly enroll Ninian, her first priority is to solve the problems she is facing.”

“The problem facing Ninian?”

“Yes, as for how things went… .”

His explanation was concise and to the point.

Francis and Marianne, who began to listen with serious faces, were at a loss for words for a moment.

It was shocking in many ways that the A-class adventure group used such a petty method to arrest Vivian, and that they got away with it without raising any issues in .

Francis, who had distrusted because of his father’s work, looked even more angry.

“Christopher Conrad, that trash has crossed the line after all. He only believed in his own talent, and now he’s using his A grade as a shield to commit contract fraud! “This is the shame of the waters of Atlantis!”

“Do you know about him?”

“yes! There’s no way you wouldn’t know! Even in , the guy who gathered only the guys who were famous for their viciousness and took them around like a gang of gangsters was none other than Conrad! “He was also famous as a subcontractor who secretly handled orders secretly received from the !”

Marian agreed with that assessment, but her complexion darkened because she knew well how strong Conrad was.

“He may be a rotten guy, but his skills are real. A magic swordsman with a 10th level external force mirror and the ability to use level 5 magic. “It would be difficult to guarantee a chance of winning against him one-on-one except at the master level.”

“Leonard probably brought her because he had his own thoughts, right? “I think there’s more to the story we need to hear.”

Francis, right? He winked, and Leonard simply nodded and kissed his lips.

It was an operation to take advantage of this opportunity to engulf ‘Santa Maria’.

Francis and Marian’s eyes were wide from the beginning, and as the explanation progressed, their mouths widened, but towards the end of the story, they showed conflicting reactions.

Francis closed his eyes for a moment and began to think, while Marian, on the other hand, objected in a harsh and loud voice.

“This is nonsense! Leonard, is aquamarine really that light for you?! “Is there any operation that throws the entire adventure group into a betting game just to hire one member?”

Leonard interrupted.

“Not just one person.”

“What nonsense!”

“This includes Vivian, the younger sister of Ninian, a senior wind spiritist who is bound to the Santa Maria Adventure Group. “This is an opportunity to save two members who are close to Grade A.”

“no! “Not even two people can compare to Aquamarine!”

“——Marian.”

At that time, Francis raised his hand as if to break up the argument between the two.

“miss! What Leonard said was—.”

Marianne, who felt uneasy at the gesture, shouted.

“I was listening to everything too. “Aquamarine, aren’t you planning on using my ship as bait to rob that libertine Conrad of everything?”

Francis spoke in a lower and more sombre voice than usual.

Because it was not a story that could be told while wearing a mask, the true character that had always been hidden behind a bright face was revealed.

Francis, with an expressionless face, looked at Leonard.

“I guess my role is the most important?”

“That’s right.”

“The right to purchase aquamarine, new recruits from Senior Spiritualist Vivian, and even a permit for an A-class adventure group to explore the 5th Sea are placed on the gambling table… la.”

Cool reason moves before emotion, and estimates the benefit that will be on the other side of the risk.

If I had won the gamble, I could have shortened the time to return to A grade by a few years, or even more.

‘It is possible to grow its power steadily, but if Aquamarine continues to grow, it will begin to be checked by Rep. Pablo, the , and . To overcome that head on, you’d have to spend a lot of time and money.’

Leonard’s proposal had a very large and clear outcome if it could be won.

An advanced elementalist of the wind who is very powerful at sea.

An archer who can become A rank in no time.

The exploration permit for Sea Area 5 held by the ‘Santa Maria’ adventure group is equivalent to a certificate of an A-class adventure group.

‘The last one is the biggest. If you return to Class A in this way, even the will not be able to raise an objection. In the case of , there are still many adventure groups that are friendly to me and Aquamarine, so once we get there, not even Moby Dick will be able to touch us.’

The problem was next.

“Even if I win this bet and get promoted to Class A, lack of power may be grounds for disqualification, right?”

Aquamarine was originally grade A, but was demoted to grade B due to power shortage. If something happened once, there was no guarantee it wouldn’t happen twice.

But Leonard also had something in mind.

“I think we can get quite a bit of grace period. That’s why I brought Russell in as a notary.”

“It’s the Atlantis Magic Tower… It is almost the only organization like the Aquamarine Adventure Group that does not have any financial resources. Since neither the nor can be trusted, the only option may ultimately be the Magic Tower.”

Francis decided.

I decided to trust the secret hidden in this man, the true side of him that even her eyes could not understand.

So she asked very honestly.

“Leonard, I have to bet my life on Aquamarine. Can you show me the clear odds? “This bet is not a gambling game that relies on luck, but a trap designed to ensure that we win?”

Leonard pulled out his sword in a fluid motion, as if he had been waiting for her words.

At the same time, Leonard’s energy, which he had been suppressing all along in the conversation room, came out as he reached level 6 in the External Power Sutra. Marianne, who was tense at her feet, had a look of shock on her face, and even Ninian, who had known her in advance, took a few steps back and stopped breathing.

It was right after that.

Five elements sword energy

The light that emanated from Leonard’s sword body unraveled like thousands or tens of thousands of spider webs and condensed into the shape of a blade.

It is completely different from when it was made in Galapagos.

In less than a second, a flawless sword was completed, setting the air in the conversation room on fire and showing off his presence. Marian, who noticed the perfection of the sword lecture before anyone else, sat down on the spot.

“Oh, Auror Blade… ?”

The sword master who existed in the Aquamarine Adventurers of the Golden Age, his brilliant sword light was twinkling before my eyes.

“No matter how great Christopher Conrad is, he will never win against my sword.”

There is no sign that it is being activated out of desperation.

Holding his Auror Blade with a relaxed expression, Leonard wielded the light of destruction held in his grasp.

The power to evaporate all matter existing in its trajectory.

Francis, Marian, and Ninian all looked at the trail of light with mesmerized expressions. Francis, the leader of the adventure group who was the first to come to his senses out of the three, put on his bright mask and started laughing again.

“Ahahahaha! As expected, Leonard had everything in mind!”

Who on earth could have predicted this situation, being able to freely use the Auror Blade from the 6th level of External Power Mirror?

What’s wrong with Christopher being a great magic swordsman?

Is it for no reason that the powerhouse of Transcendence is evaluated as having asymmetrical power?

High-level magic that can be used starting from the 7th rank cannot be stopped even by wizards lower than that level, and the power of the Aura Blade cuts down Sword Aurors as if they were paper.

“There’s nothing more attractive than a gambling table where you’re guaranteed to win!”

Francis smiled as he placed his palms together.

I was sure that the greatest luck for the Aquamarine Adventure Group was picking up Leonard floating on the sea.

Cardenas’ genius.

A monster that cannot see the bottom, from martial arts to planting.

If he was an enemy, he could not help but be feared, but if he was an ally, he was more dependable than anyone else.

Francis unfolded a piece of parchment and picked up a quill.

“Then shall we take our poles out to the gambling table?”

Christopher Conrad.

It was time to prepare the noose to catch the charlatan’s neck.
