0.01 Second Sword Master Episode 119
“The knight of light, the savior of the continent, the king of the great kingdom of Eli, who slain the dragon and received the dragon’s obedience. Your servant greets you like this.”
It seemed to take half a day just to list the modifiers attached to me.
The Warchief of the Horde, Maktoor, personally knelt before me and saluted me.
Accordingly, all the Horde behind them were polite.
“It’s been a while, Magtoor.”
I looked down at them arrogantly.
Seeing that gaze, Maktoor lowered his head even more.
“Yes, my king. We, the Horde, are always listening to what the King is accomplishing every time. Recently, I heard that you became a dragon slayer. I will reduce it.”
“There is no need to celebrate over trivial things.”
“no. We, the Horde, are always teaching children and youth the greatness of Aslan. I want to always engrave in my heart the teachings you have left for us.”
I don’t know what the hell I taught you, but good is good.
I stopped catching up and got down to business.
“How did you come here?”
“This time, I came to report directly to the Horde what you have entrusted.”
If it’s something I’ve entrusted to you…
“You mean the dwarves?”
“Yes.”
If it’s just about reporting where the dwarves are, it’s okay to just send a letter. But to have come this far meant that something extraordinary had happened.
“If you move a little beyond the Jastra Forest, you will find the territory where the dwarves live, Alembar. Strangely, however, the dwarves who had been living there for 300 years had disappeared.”
Dwarves can be said to be the best race in terms of making weapons, enough to be called a blacksmith race. And they joined forces with humans 300 years ago to supply weapons and cast out demons.
But where did they disappear after abandoning the ground they had maintained for 300 years?
‘Obviously, when I sent the Horde to search, I always found the Dwarves.’
If I dared to order the Horde to find the dwarves, I just did what I always do.
It was pretty important to keep on good terms with the dwarves when playing this game, because, aside from the hero’s sword, the dwarves provide good weapons and armor.
Their smelting technology is superior to any other kingdom, to the extent that the word blacksmith tribe suits them.
Therefore, it was important to strengthen military power by upgrading military equipment with their help.
Moreover, there were things I wanted to find because they had the items I needed.
‘But if I do this, the story will be different.’
I tried to find the dwarves, but they said they moved their base.
It’s not some kind of nomadic people, and there are very few cases where heavy ass like the Dwarves move their base. no. never had it ever been like that.
But to do something like that…
‘Is it a difficulty issue again?’
There couldn’t be any other reason other than that.
“Can you find it?”
“There is a race currently occupying the place. Maybe if we get some information from them.”
“Did the race that occupies that place kick out the dwarves?”
Could it be that the dwarves were destroyed at least?
“I don’t think so. Because the race that occupies it is none other than the Muses.”
Muse?!
If this bravado hadn’t been tightly packed into my body, I would have jumped out of my seat in surprise.
‘yes. muse. Of course those cute guys are in this game too.’
Since I was living such a wild and varied life, I hadn’t thought about that race at all.
what is a muse
Those guys are very terrifying.
militantly?
Of course, there is a threatening part in terms of combat, but the reason why they are a dangerous race is,
‘It’s because of his looks.’
Whether it’s the game world or the real world, appearance is a very important part.
Even if it is a character with no abilities and is useless, once the appearance is very good, players will make great efforts to recruit them as their subordinates without looking at other specifications.
It was the same with the Muses.
Indeed, that cuteness is said to be the strongest in this game, and it is to the extent that it often happens that the heart is assaulted by that cuteness and rushes to catch it without knowing what it is and is reversed.
‘But why are they in the land of the dwarves?’
As Maktoor said, the Muses are not a militant people fighting against other tribes.
Befitting their hamster-like hairy appearance, they enjoy herbivores, never carnivores. Of course, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t look down on the Muses, because all of their attacks contain poison, so if you attack them wrongly, you’ll get poisoned and die.
“So I came here to hear the wisdom of whether it is better to attack them and get information about the dwarves, or to use another method.”
The idea of attacking the Muses in order to obtain information about the dwarves was laughable, probably because they were such a warlike race.
‘They’re a muse…’
Honestly, it was right that I wanted to see those cute guys with my own two eyes, not a computer screen.
So while I was thinking,
[Starting a new quest.]
Suddenly, an information window appeared in front of me.
[Hero’s Sword]
– Track down the lost race of dwarves through the Muses.
– You get 5 gold as a reward.
It seems that the appearance of the Muses was not a coincidence.
As long as the game is pushing my back like this.
In addition, the name of the quest was Hero’s Sword.
That said, this quest seemed to be related to the hero’s sword that the Dwarves made.
“There is no need to fight them. It could be solved by just talking. I will personally lead the army.”
“Yes? The king himself?”
“My king. please let me go I will go and chase after the dwarves.”
As soon as I said that I would go myself, knights here and there came forward and spoke to me.
“Please let us go, and we will complete the mission on behalf of the king!”
“You are the sun of Eli Kingdom! Please send me instead!”
It was precisely for this reason that I did not want to become king.
This is because there are restrictions on action.
In a way, it was also a reasonable reason.
The existence of a king is a person who represents a country, and if the king dies in an unfortunate accident, the kingdom falls into great chaos.
That’s why my servants are reluctant to do something on my own.
“I will ask you guys.”
I asked while looking at my servants while resting my chin on the throne.
“What is the reason why I oppose the direct step forward?”
I already knew the answer.
What they were worried about was my safety.
But,
“The King is everything in Eli Kingdom. However, if the King suffers an upheaval, our kingdom will be in great confusion!”
“you’re right. Please send us on behalf of the King. If the king collapses, the kingdom of Eli will be destroyed!”
The cares, worries, and loyalty of those who think of the king could not penetrate my bluff.
rather,
“You are cheeky.”
It just made my bluff wriggling.
“My light gesture cuts through the sky, and my steps break the ground. But who would dare to harm me?”
“…”
At those words, the servants held their breath.
“Unless I allow it, no existence dares to touch this body. Even that Rahal, whom the tribes of this continent believe and follow so much, can’t even touch me with their fingertips. Still, do you dare to worry about the safety of the principal?”
Their silence was like adding fuel to my bravado, which was burning brightly.
I called Aaron, who was dripping with cold sweat.
“Aaron.”
Then Aaron suddenly came forward and shouted.
“Yes, my King!”
“Are you of the same opinion as them?”
Aaron quickly shook his head.
“This is an unfair word. Who dares to harm the king? I only hope, please, let the small man escort the king to Alembar.”
Aaron was also quick-witted.
And as if they had waited for his words, the other knights quickly changed their words.
“I will go with the little ones too!”
“I will assist the king so that there is no inconvenience on his journey!”
I got up from my throne and turned around to fling my red cloak.
“I will go to the Muses. Get all ready.”
“Honorable name!”
I was a little relieved by their booming voices, but at the same time worried.
What if I’m bluffing like this and later, when I shouldn’t be there, they won’t stop me?
I was already worried that I might be paying for a big deal because of the bluff that got worse after becoming king.
But the inside is burning with worry and worry,
Flutter~!
The footsteps seen by them were majestic.
* * *
clap.
‘Even though the horse bluffed that it could split the sky with its fingertips and break the ground with its feet.’
When he went out, he brought the best elite troops of our kingdom.
The 1st Heavy Cavalry, whose whole body was made of iron armor, from horses to knights, was the strongest among the cavalry I made.
It was able to deflect incoming arrow attacks casually, and possessed excellent defense that could withstand magic bullet attacks.
Also, they had long spears and thick shields, so if they rushed, it was questionable how many troops in the kingdom’s existing army would be able to stop them.
“As expected, the might of the army led by the king is great.”
Maktoor looked at the heavy armor following me with quite fearful eyes.
At Maktoor’s words, Aaron spoke for me.
“If a battle breaks out in the Jastra realm and the King directly steps forward, that day Jastra will become a hell where no life can live again.”
“That, like that…”
“Our cavalry is stepping up to prevent such an unfortunate incident. It would be more merciful for our enemies to step forward.”
A hell where no life can live again?
For some reason, it seemed that Aaron was more bluff than I was.
And the funny thing was that Maktoor accepted it as if it were true.
“I myself saw the king fighting from the side. I still shudder whenever I think of that destructive, catastrophic power.”
“Whoops. I know you. ruler. Take this.”
When Aaron handed him a water bottle, Maktoor tilted his head.
“This······?”
“Holy water that is only supplied to our troops. It is also the grace of our king.”
“Sir, could this be the famous…!?”
“It is given separately only to you, so take care of it.”
When Aaron winked one eye, Maktoor quickly grabbed a water bottle with a very thrilled face.
······The two seem to be having a good time playing drums and janggu.
“This is it.”
And before we knew it, we crossed the Jastra forest and arrived at Alembar, where the Muses live.
“This is Alembar.”
I took a quick look around.
Nothing was visible.
But don’t let your guard down just because you can’t see it.
That’s why I brought these heavy armor.
just as expected.
Push-!
Something flew through the wind and was hit by the armor of a heavy cavalry soldier who was continuing his march.
Ting~
Thin saliva fell to the floor with a cheerful sound.
“…?”
And as it continues like a signal flare,
Pushyuk-!!
Stingers flew from all sides and hit the heavy cavalry’s armor.
“It’s an enemy raid!!”
“Everyone on the defensive!”
“Escort the King!!”
Before I could even give an order, the heavy armor rushed forward and wrapped their shields around me. However, even if I stayed still, this guy’s bluff continued to talk nonsense until the end.
“Clean it up.”
“Ha, but the king!”
“Don’t make me say it twice.”
The knights were startled by my lowered voice and quickly backed away.
Even when that poison needle might pierce my body, I escaped from their protection and raised my fist.
and the moment you open it.
Whoaaah-!!
Powerful telekinesis was triggered like a gust of wind and spread all over the place.
The flying needles returned intact in the direction they came from, and short screams were heard here and there as all the bushes snapped.
And,
“Eck-”
A small ball of hair with two hands and two feet bounced in front of me as it hit a tree.
It looked up at me with innocent eyes and tilted its head.
“music?”
So they are unabominated version of ewoks?
