065 Tues – Trisha (4)
Tigris said as he looked at Trisha who was looking at him with round eyes.
“You lack inspiration.”
“Inspiration?”
“In a nutshell, the sword’s eyes are not enough.”
Tigris sees three major factors that influence swordsmanship.
The first is the body.
The second is Auror operation.
The third is inspiration.
The first physical level.
Literally, it is a matter of whether or not the body is suitable for learning martial arts.
If you go into detail, you have a body suitable for swordsmanship, and it is divided into various types such as spear and martial arts, but the most important thing is the ability to respond to aurora.
The range of swordsmanship that can be used varies depending on how sensitive the body is to auras, so the higher the aura sensitivity, the better the body.
This has a big impact from 1 to 3 rings, and about 1 out of 1,000 people who have received the blessing of the body come out.
Second Auror operating power.
Auror management ability refers to the ability to handle Aurors well.
It would be difficult if there was a problem with the amount of innate Aurors, but that is a problem in combat, not the swordsmanship itself.
If you have excellent Auror operation skills, you will be able to master all types of swordsmanship that exist in the world.
People with this talent can easily climb up to 6 rings if they work hard.
About 1 in 100,000 people are blessed with Auror’s ability to operate.
Finally inspiration.
It is a measure of whether or not one can become a sword master, and it means a person with eyes that can see swordsmanship in other technologies, environments, and objects other than swordsmanship.
The direction of inspiration varies from person to person, but in the case of Bergang, the direction of inspiration varies according to the talent one has, just as in the case of Pereira, who read the sword in a natural phenomenon and sealed the demon king of annihilation, just like reading the sword from magic.
However, those who have this inspiration in common can become a sword master at the age of twenty-two, like Pereira, if they get the right guidance because the speed of development of swordsmanship is very fast.
Tigris had seen exactly nine people with this inspiration before his return.
Berggan, Charlotte, Irene, Gordon and Morgotte.
The elves’ heroes ‘Tatiana’ and ‘Tembe’ met when they entered the ordeal of the constellation to obtain ‘Uros’, the human hero ‘Mariekel’, and the beast hero ‘Bayaga’.
Her younger sister Linia could also be included in this, but since she has no practical experience, it remains to be seen whether she has any inspiration or not.
To put it bluntly, in the case of Trisha, there was no problem with her body and her ability to operate Aurors, but she lacked ‘inspiration’.
The speed of development of swordsmanship is so different that it is divided into genius and genius due to the difference between having inspiration and not, and inspiration is very important in the spell hunting technique taught by Tigris.
Spell hunting is a swordsmanship that negates magic.
In terms of magic, it’s no different than always using ‘reverse calculation’ or ‘dispel’ magic.
You have to do things like magic with your sword, but this is not a swordsmanship that can be learned simply because you have excellent physical or Auror operation skills.
Only those who have the inspiration to see the sword in places other than the sword can learn it.
“Originally, an uninspired knight might be able to use this swordsmanship alone for at least 15 to 20 years. But you are different. You are not without inspiration, you lack it.”
That was very odd.
It was the first time I had ever seen a T-Christ in a case where there was no inspiration or lack thereof.
Sometimes inspiration comes from birth.
It is said that he gained the heart, and when he goes through a big thing or gets a big realization, he gets inspired and becomes a sword master.
But I’ve never seen half of them get inspired.
Tigris believed that the answer lies in Trisha’s unique experiences.
“Trish. How many times have you overcome the ordeal of the constellation?”
“To be precise, it’s number 21.”
“How many wars have you fought?”
“The 15th. Oh, don’t ask the number of deaths. Because I couldn’t count them all.”
“Then how many master class heroes did you meet?”
“Well······. A total of 26 people.”
If you fail the trial of the constellation, you will return to the beginning again.
It’s like Tigris has returned.
Trisha has experienced countless deaths and must have faced countless challenges.
In addition, Trisha has had many experiences that are difficult to experience even once in her life.
Trisha has seen countless war heroes up close while searching for relics.
Each of them was a hero who saved a country, nation, or world.
Trisha spoke to them directly, learned swords indirectly, and learned their way of fighting.
You must have seen the 26 master class heroes, not just one hero, compared and analyzed right next to you, so your perspective has changed a lot.
So it was 5 years.
“But there is something strange. How can you be so young after experiencing the ordeal of the constellation 21 times?”
Even if you have been a holy relic adventurer since 7 years ago, you don’t have enough time.
There will be time to find the location of relics and dungeons, and there will be times when you fail and try countless times.
Trisha said as she got up.
“Do you have any more questions than that? How could he not die after failing the trials of the constellation dozens of times?”
It was thanks to the care of the healing wizards that Rakan did not die when he fell into the ordeal of the constellation.
However, once you enter the dungeon, there is no one to take care of you.
A person will die in a week without drinking water.
In particular, in the case of knights such as Trisha and Tigris, their metabolism is so fast that they can starve in just five days.
But how did Trisha survive?
“Well, this is a secret, but since it’s Lord Tigris, I’ll tell you.”
Trisha took out a crystal ball that seemed to contain the night sky from her subspace pocket.
It didn’t seem unusual at all.
“This is the celestial map of Byeolbagi.”
“One of the three treasures that adventurers want.”
The cloak of the North Star, the blessing of angel wings, the celestial map of the starry sky.
The cloak of the North Star is currently kept by the imperial family, the blessing of angel wings has disappeared, and it is unknown where the celestial map of Byeolbagi is located.
In particular, Byeolbaragi’s celestial map was a dream-like map for all saint adventurers.
Because it is a holy relic that can find the dungeons of the constellation and the relics that have been subjected to the trials of the constellation.
“Five. You know better than you think. The ability of this celestial map is not just the ability to find holy relics, it also has the ability to protect the body of an adventurer when entering the constellation dungeon or trials of the constellation. As a bonus, you can increase or decrease the ratio of the time of the Trial of the Constellation to the time of this world by a factor of 10. For example, after one day of this earthly time passes, 10 days pass by me in the ordeal of the constellation.”
Tigris knew that the relic was kept by Prince Matthew of the Kingdom of Gillion, but he never dreamed that Trisha would have it.
‘It seems to have flowed naturally to Prince Matthew when Trisha died.’
Sooner or later, when I met the princess for smile training, I felt like I had to tell him that this content had to be corrected.
Trisha said as she put the celestial map of the starburst into the subspace pocket.
“Anyway, in summary, you have to train 24 hours a day with Lord Tigris for 5 years to learn the spell of spell hunting, right? Like Irene or Charlotte?”
“Yes. But you know that it is impossible.”
“Sir Tigris and I will both be busy.”
Neither Tigris nor Trisha could simply practice swords.
Tigris will now have more days to go to the battlefield or carry out various operations than he can practice swordsmanship.
Trisha is not in a situation where she can only train comfortably because she has to do River activities and search for relics.
“Then, is it right to give up?”
“There are two ways in total.”
“yes? You have two?”
“Yes. One is that you become a sword master.”
“······Eh?”
Trisha doubted her ears.
“What do you mean? You can’t master the spell of hunting, so you want to become a sword master. Isn’t that just saying don’t do it?”
“It’s not a story that isn’t entirely possible. You have the potential to become a sword master.”
“yes? me?”
“Of course, if you train alone, it will take longer than learning the art of spell hunting, but if I help you, you can become a sword master within two years.”
Trisha couldn’t understand if Tigris was serious.
Trisha is someone who has seen how great a master class is countless times.
Trisha describes the Sword Master as follows:
The realm of using magic with a sword.
Trisha thought it was at a level she couldn’t even dream of.
“You have experienced a number of deaths that no other person has ever experienced. And wielded swords with countless legendary heroes. Influenced by it, it is on the verge of budding inspiration that should not have been there.”
Trisha’s physical condition and the ability to operate Auror itself are enough to become a sword master.
If there was enough elixir at the moment, the sixth ring could be made, and if Tigris’ guidance was done properly, it could be the inspiration for Trisha, who has no sense.
Because Tigris knew roughly where Trisha’s inspiration was headed.
“If you learn the art of spell hunting after you become a sword master, you will be able to learn it easily. By that time, you must have fully realized what you can do with the sword.”
“…are you really saying that?”
“Yes.”
“But I have a question, how can Sir Tigris tell you that? Sir Tigris is not yet a sword master.”
“Then do you think it makes sense that I killed Lucas?”
“······no.”
“Then how can I, a mere five-star knight, use a sword with images? Do you understand why I became a five-star knight at the age of 20?”
“Isn’t it possible because you are a genius?”
“okay. So you just have to trust me and follow me. I can make you the genius you speak of. It would be impossible for anyone else, but you have the possibility.”
Trisha’s head was complicated by the ridiculous story of making herself a genius.
He didn’t even know if he was having a normal conversation right now.
Still, there was one thing for sure.
Tigris has a secret that is difficult to tell anyone.
I thought that might be the reason for this great skill and confidence.
“…Then what about the second method?”
“Isn’t the reason you want to learn spell hunting to enter the dungeon?”
“yes. Yes?”
“Then it won’t matter if I go in instead.”
“······uh? uh?!”
Trisha’s eyes widened.
“Seeing that, it is. Why didn’t I think of this?”
“I’m learning the elves’ spell hunting and the moon-nyeo’s sword dance. I know both the forms used by the elves and the forms that humans can use. Then I must be a person who perfectly meets the conditions for entry into that dungeon.”
“How the heck did you say it was a secret.”
Trisha stuck out her tongue at Tigris’ extraordinaryness.
Trisha has met many heroes in history, but never seen a genius with a different level like Tigris.
If you ask me, is it like Pereira?
‘Compared to Pereira… well…’
Anyway, Tigris was the most needed person in the current situation.
“Is there a limit on the number of people entering the dungeon?”
“There is no limit on the number of people except for the condition that one person who is learning the swordsmanship of the elves must be included, but do you really want to join us? It could take over a year to break that dungeon.”
“Of course, it is impossible to enter that dungeon right now. Now, the Empire has declared war on the Chimera. As an investigator of the Empire, there will be work to be done.”
“uh······. I guess so.”
Trisha wiggled her hands.
“However, the first method or the second method will have no choice but to enlist the help of Lord Tigris.”
“I will.”
“May I know what the price will be? If you want a relic or something like that, I’ll try to get it as much as I can.”
“No, there is no need for that.”
Tigris felt something while fighting Trisha.
Trisha is not as talented as Irene or Charlotte.
However, his fighting sense was unique.
Having been to a lot of historical battlefields, I had a good view of battle, didn’t get caught in shallow water, and, above all, knew exactly what to do with a sword in battle.
‘Of course, it seems to be a pair of swords that are actually used.’
The point is that it is a competent human resource that can be used even if it goes to war or operation with the Tigris right now.
We just couldn’t afford to miss out on such a talented person.
“I will make you a sword master. And if you have time to spare in the dungeon you want, let me go right into it. Instead, work for me for five years.”
“yes? To work for 5 years…”
“Become my knight. If becoming a knight is burdensome, you can become a disciple. I don’t want anything else.”
Trisha scratched her head as she had no idea that such a condition would be put on hold.
“Are there really no other conditions? Five years is a bit…”
“Nothing else.”
After all, there will soon be a war between Rota and Arfem.
Trisha did not have time to enter the dungeon to obtain the relic.
“uh······. So can you give me some time to think?”
If Trisha was just a free adventurer, she would have just accepted it.
However, Trisha is a member of the Beast Liberation Group, River.
Although Trisha is a somewhat free-spirited fundraiser within the River, being tied up under Tigris for five years was likely to be a problem.
He knew that Tichrist Trisha could not make a decision right away because he already knew that he belonged to River.
“Give me whatever you want.”
“thank you. Oh, but I have something to see out there. May I go out for a while?”
Trisha is currently being targeted by assassins.
Perhaps it was already known that Trisha was in Tigris’ penthouse, and the moment she came out, it was highly likely that she would become a target for assassins.
“Is this something you have to do yourself?”
“yes. I have to pack my bags and do some banking.”
Tigris nodded, knowing that Trisha had to discuss this with the dwarf.
“good night. Are there any artifacts that can hide your identity?”
“There is something better than that.”
Trisha grinned and pulled a black cloak out of her subspace pocket.
On the black cloak lay a luxurious gold cat embroidery.
“It’s called Eun-myo’s cloak, so it’s a good thing when you go somewhere secretly.”
Tigris’ eyes widened.
That cloak was also a cloak that Tigris knew very well.
That relic was one of the relics Arfem used before returning.
Not only was it the ability to simply make the body invisible and obliterate the presence, but it also had the ability to teleport, so it was a very good holy thing when escaping.
I used that holy relic to escape the pursuit of Tigris every time, so if I found it, the first thing I thought was to tear it down or retrieve it.
But I never dreamed that the holy relic would be in Trisha’s hand.
“Then I’ll be back by tonight. Oh, please tell the guards in advance.”
“i get it.”
“Oh right. I’ll use the shower room. It’s a little shady.”
“Follow Lenny. I will guide you.”
“thank you!”
Trisha followed Lenny to the shower room.
* * *
twilight evening.
Rakan entered Tigris’ study.
“Hey, this penthouse is really nice.”
“Come and sit down.”
“Yep!”
Rakan sat down without saying a word.
“What did you see when you came to this penthouse?”
Rakan thought that Tigris wasn’t just calling for a cup of tea, but he didn’t expect such a question right away.
But Rakan had already figured out a lot.
“You mean there are a lot of assassins disguised as paparazzi?”
Tigris nodded.
“How do the Inquisitors view this situation now?”
“Actually, I’m a little confused. We’re trying to figure out why the assassins flocked to the Norbert Tower. Of course, Master seems to have gotten the hang of it.”
Rakan pulled out a picture from his pocket.
It was Trisha.
“Because of this person?”
“Yes. What does the hydra say?”
“The Inquisitor and the Golden Knight are about to come out, and they asked me if they would move on their own.”
“okay. I will move too.”
“Ummm… okay. But is this Trisha person important enough for the instructor to act on his own?”
“Yes. Maybe you can become the next sword master after me.”
“OMG······.”
“OMG?”
“Ah, this is in Korean. It just means it’s stupid. Anyway! Why exactly did you call me? Can I find all these people?”
Tigris nodded.
“Yes. Whenever you locate these people, report them to me as a crystal ball. Then I will go and kill you myself.”
“Well······. I understand for now. But should I find it on weekdays?”
“Because the hour is urgent.”
“I think it would be possible if you just write your ID so that you can go out even on weekdays.”
“I’ll take care of that.”
“Yep! All right!”
At that moment, a message appeared in front of Rakan’s eyes.
[New Quest!]
Catch the Hitman!
Earn points each time you locate the hitters and report them to Sir Tigris!
Reward: 500 points per person.
Deadline: One week.
“Five! Quest is out! You want me to catch these killers?”
“It was fine. And if it’s too risky, get your feet out. I don’t know if they are among them, but among these hitters there may be some who can assassinate a whopping five-ring adventurer.”
Rakan said, pointing to the ruby necklace hung around his neck.
“I have this necklace, what am I afraid of? And there are also defensive artifacts from the 3rd place report.”
Rakan pointed to his bracelet.
The bracelet looked like an ordinary fashion bracelet, but it had a whopping 5 circle ‘absolute barrier’ magic on it.
Unless you are a sword master who can use swords, no one will be able to break the triple barrier at once.
“Don’t trust artifacts too much. A high-level wizard can make artifacts useless.”
“Yep! I’ll pay attention. Then I will start moving right away from tomorrow.”
Rakan paused before leaving Tigris’ study.
“Oh, by the way…”
“What’s going on?”
Rakan rolled his eyes for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“Maybe Irene, Charlotte, and Linia can move together?”
“Why?”
“uh······. So………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
“Did the three of you ask?”
Rakan rolled his eyes.
“yes? How did you know that?”
He knew that the two of them were somewhat dissatisfied that Tigris trusted only Rakan and entrusted him with his work.
Because Jane sneaked in and told them that the three of them had said they didn’t trust them too much.
Tigris thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“This time, move with the three of you. Instead, in your judgment, if anyone engages in careless and dangerous behavior, send them back immediately.”
“yes? You want me to judge?”
“Yes. Now it’s time for the two of you to move slowly.”
Linia is still there, but Charlotte and Irene must now operate with Tigris.
There was no need to move to Linia, but Linia continued to show that she wanted to be of some help.
So, it would be better to believe it once.
“Lakan. You are the leader of this search operation. Make sure you keep a close eye on the three and report it to me.”
Rakan felt a little burdened by the sudden use of a sword on his head.
[New Quest!]
Recognized by Tigris as the leader of the search operation.
Reward: 1,000 points.
That burden was blown away in one quest.
Because the fact that it was only 1,000 points was the same as saying that the current Rakan can do it well enough.
Rakan clenched his fists.
“All right. Instructor.”
