Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 81

Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (81)

The appearance of Benjamin, the man who boarded the ship while receiving a warm welcome from Francis, was as expected.

First, as soon as I saw the Jack Russell, my body stiffened like a plaster statue.

“Chief Elder?! Um, why are you in Aquamarine?”

Russell, who looked back at the question with an annoyed expression, answered.

“Is there any reason why I shouldn’t stay here? I’ve seen this face somewhere before, but I guess she got an executive position instead of that scum called Carmen. The name… Yes, Benjamin. Am I right?”

“Yes, that’s right. “This is Benjamin, whom I met once before.”

“It looks like my kids were indebted to me last time, so I guess I’ll give it a pass as well. “To answer your rude question, it’s because I boarded the Aquamarine as a guest.”

At the casual answer, Benjamin felt his mind heating up.

Have you decided to take Aquamarine’s side in earnest at the Magic Tower?

‘In that case, the indirect checks and threats of the ‘United Council’ don’t have much meaning. If Jack Russell made the move himself, two or three influential members of the Congress should also make the move.’

Jack Russell, the strongman representing the Atlantis Tower, is a reason not to touch Aquamarine just by being on the ship.

Even the adventurers who were as obedient as the hands and feet of the ‘United Council’ would not dare attempt a provocation against him. The act of touching a Jack Russell was a declaration of war against the Atlantean Tower, and it was tantamount to turning the entire wizarding society, which was the source of the Atlantean Tower, into enemies.

Unlike the ‘United Council’, where the attitude to respond to this situation was ambiguous, in Magic Tower, it was like moving the queen of chess.

‘Bermuda’s position will also be greatly shaken. If it were the entire , the damage would be even more severe if it collided with the Magic Tower for only a few members.’

Carmen didn’t resign overnight for nothing.

Even powerful figures like Rep. Pablo or Heywood could not represent the entire United Parliament, but Jack Russell could.

‘… Should I stick to Aquamarine?’

It was a thought that naturally passed through Benjamin’s mind.

If ‘Bermuda’ found out about this, it was more likely that it would lean towards the Tower of Magic than the ‘United Council’. If that’s the case, the role in charge of Aquamarine will become even more important, and as he is replaced by an executive other than Benjamin, he may be kicked out as a one-man position.

Thanks to my relationship with Francis, I was able to completely make the executive position, which was only a facade, my own, even if I only received one word of advice.

The desire to watch the activities of the new Aquamarine Adventure Team more closely also played a part.

“Mr. Lorelai! “Come and see me soon!”

“yes… ? Why are you like that… ?”

My heart, which had been feeble like the embers left in the ashes, burned fiercely again from the person introduced to me by Francis.

As someone who admired aquamarine, I couldn’t bear it anymore.

“I’m Lorelai, the successor taught by Heine in ‘Wave Catcher’! “I’m still at the 6th level, but I’m aspiring to be the second generation ‘wave catcher’!”

In Aquamarine’s heyday, there were several people whose popularity seemed to pierce the sky.

‘Storm’ Dentuso.

‘Spirit Knight’ Njord.

‘Wave catcher’ haine.

‘Maestro’ Ahab.

Whenever a story about aquamarine started, there would be arguments about who was the strongest, and it would turn into a fistfight, which was so common that it wasn’t even mentioned anymore.

“Really? “You are Heine-sama’s successor?”

Even the shy Lorelai couldn’t give up on that much, so instead of answering with her mouth, she nodded her head vigorously.

Benjamin didn’t know what to say, so he just opened his mouth and felt his heart sink.

I knew that ‘Storm’ Dentuso’s younger brother Galano had joined, but even the successors of ‘Wave Catcher’ Heine were gathered. The anticipation that the Aquamarine Adventure Team might actually be revived rekindled a spark that I thought had been extinguished.

“Hmph.”

Francis thought.

‘As expected, it was just as I thought.’

Benjamin, the man who suddenly became an executive at Bermuda, did not possess tremendous talent or power.

But that did not make Benjamin incompetent or foolish. Not only did he keep his limbs intact until he reached the A level, he also performed his duties flawlessly in Bermuda and guarded his desk.

If Francis had mentioned Benjamin’s situation as soon as he saw him and pretended to extend a hand out of courtesy, he would have backed away rather than being easily included.

‘If you want to destroy either reason or emotion first, you have to attack the emotions first. ‘Because people are creatures that hear only what they want to hear and believe only what they want to believe.’

At first, we built intimacy by recounting old memories in detail, and then forgot about Bermuda and the dynamics related to it.

‘If I didn’t have memories of that day, it would have been a bit difficult for me.’

As a result, the two returned to being an adventurer who admired Aquamarine and the daughter of the man he admired, rather than an executive in charge of grade review and an adventure leader.

So Benjamin felt relieved without realizing it.

The very attempt to find any intention or trick in Francis’ actions was forgotten. Even though the way he encountered Jack Russell and the way he summoned Lorelai before he regained his composure were all thoroughly planned.

‘It was successful in making people think of the relationship between the Magic Tower and Aquamarine, and it was also okay to shake them up with Lorelai right after that. She was very well fed.’

The rest went smoothly.

Even just by looking at the Jack Russell’s face, Grade A must be recognized unconditionally, and since the 5th and 6th rank wizards were not enough, a senior spiritist was added.

Excluding the chief elder of the Magic Tower, his power alone was at a level that surpassed the lowest level of A grade.

“As of today, Aquamarine has returned to A grade. “I, Benjamin, will vouch for that.”

“and! How long will the formalities take?”

“One day is enough. “I will take care of it so that no problems arise when you explore Sea Area 5 starting tomorrow.”

Francis smiled and nodded once,

“Is Executive Benjamin in charge of Aiolos Hall now?”

Benjamin answered with a slightly embarrassed expression.

“hmm… That’s not it. My career in Bermuda is long, but this is my first time in a high-level position. I guess I can take charge of it to some extent. Do you have any requests?”

“I just want to ask you one thing. Aquamarine has just returned to Class A, so there is no information about the current status of Sea Area 5 or “Risk”. “The scope of activities may overlap with that of other adventure groups, so we need to be careful, right?”

“Ah, you are delicate.”

“therefore.”

He passes it off as if it is no big deal.

“It would really be of great help if you could tell me about ‘Cracks’ that are not scheduled for exploration. “It would be even better if we could find out the schedules and routes of other adventurers in advance.”

“Well, it’s difficult for me to say for sure with my authority.”

“You know, Benjamin, right?”

Francis looked up at his face cautiously, his eyes shaking with slight fear.

“Aquamarine, my father didn’t die in Charybdis. He died at the hands of his assailants shortly thereafter.”

“… … … … !”

“Thanks to the Chief Elder, we can feel at ease to some extent, but they are the ones who once sank Aquamarine when it was at its most powerful. I want to avoid them until I gather the strength to confront them. “Why not?”

“… … .”

A request to leak internal information about Bermuda turns into a plea from a girl who has become unable to trust other adventurers due to trauma.

‘If I ignore this request, I will become the person who twice watched the sinking of the adventure group I admired.’

Benjamin’s worries did not last long.

He temporarily became himself more than eight years ago, when he was an adventurer, and was more ambitious and passionate than yesterday. If I could contribute to Aquamarine’s revival, there was no reason to be loyal to the organization that abandoned him.

“… “Please tell me about Aquamarine’s communication lines.”

That’s how one helper was born.

* * *

Benjamin, who became an executive of Bermuda and assistant to Aquamarine, was certainly a capable person.

Just a few hours after he returned to Bermuda, the latest information regarding the routes of the adventurers operating in the Aeolus waters and the Rift were sent through the crystal ball on board the ship.

Francis, who wrote down the contents, laughed uproariously.

“Ahahaha! Mr. Benjamin! “I believed it!”

“… “That person should have seen her true face and gone.”

Marianne, who sighed deeply next to the delighted Francis, calmed down by pressing her eyebrows together.

It was a very good thing for Aquamarine, but it was natural that Bermuda’s executives felt uncomfortable seeing him boiled because of his speaking skills. Even if she were in Benjamin’s position, she wouldn’t have been able to shake him off so harshly.

“Well, you’re the one who admired Aquamarine and your father, right? “Then wouldn’t helping me be rewarding in its own way?”

“The problem is that people know everything and take advantage of it.”

“It’s okay if you just live without knowing the people involved. “If things go well in the future, I will accept you as an honorary member of Aquamarine.”

Having decided on his treatment in his head, Francis took a look at what had been copied on the parchment.

Although it was written in seven pages, it took less than a minute to read and analyze it all.

Francis said after selecting three of them.

“There are about three ‘rifts’ that Aquamarine can visit. For the rest, the scale is too large or there are variables in the movement path. “You don’t know who is your friend or enemy, so you have to be careful.”

The only thing I clearly saw in my memory of that day was the flagship of ‘Moby Dick’ and the faces of several adventurers. If you look at the dynamics between factions and members of the ‘United Council’, there were a few places where her intentions were suspicious.

Francis decided that it was still too early to target them.

‘They are not people you can touch without any physical evidence. If you try to reunite those who were scattered by a mistake, you won’t be able to survive even if you hide behind the Chief Elder’s back.’

Even though he was caught right after the attack on , he was an enemy that even Aquamarine in his prime could not defeat.

There is no chance of winning with any method other than individual defeat.

So Francis had to be patient.

I was used to holding it in, and thanks to Leonard, I was able to release some of the anger that had been building up inside my body.

“ah.”

Only then did Francis, who had lost his mind to the members, ask a question.

“Marian, how are the members? Lorelai, I don’t know if Uncle Galano is adjusting well.”

“No problem.”

Marian told the situation as she saw it.

“The chief elder of the Tower of Magic and Esther treated Lorelai well. “I don’t know if it was because of my connection with Mr. Heine, or because I felt a kinship with him as a magician, but we quickly became friends.”

“okay? I’m glad. “What about Uncle Galano?”

“We are learning together from Leonard. Like Mr. Dentuso’s younger brother, he uses a spear that creates a whirlpool. “He is easy to deal with because he has no sense of authority.”

“Well, Uncle Dentuso was a similar person. Even though he was from a noble family, he did not like the caste system.”

Francis, letting go of old thoughts, picked up a piece of paper that had been placed on his table.

“Is there anyone in bad condition?”

“Yes, everything is perfect.”

“Then it’s okay if we start right away tomorrow.”

The paper held in her fingers contained information about the ‘Sea Oak Lair’, one of the ‘rifts’ in Sea Area 5.

The scale is C grade.

Difficulty level is B grade.

The risk level is B+.

Expected profit is rated D-.

It was small, difficult, and dangerous, but it couldn’t even make money, and it was natural that it wasn’t popular. However, it was not a bad environment to check the current state of Aquamarine.

“Because Sea Area 5 is truly the area of ​​adventure.”

The 4th sea area, Zephyrus, is also infested with mercenaries disguised as adventurers. However, starting from Sea Area 5, Aiolos, anyone must risk their life.

When Francis returned there, his eyes sparkled.
