I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy chapter 120

120. where is the king

A small country located in the southern part of the continent, Delgrad, a city belonging to the kingdom of Altarix.

Arriving at their destination, the cadets got off the wagon one by one and followed the guide and moved their steps in a line.

Standing tall alone in the desert, which is no different from a wasteland, this city was also described as a city of mirages by bards quite romantically.

The multi-ethnic streets were breathing heavily. Unknown smoke that makes your nose sting and the scorching heat of the desert.

Even though she didn’t have to dodge, Shady was running around freely, dodging the legs of passers-by.

He was quite uncomfortable in a cramped space like a carriage.

After all, is a spirit a spirit?

I wonder if Shady is getting to know the world of humans for the first time now.

Even if it was a spirit that had an owner at some point, the owner would have been a demon.

On top of the wagon that was rattling on the other side, the corpse of Lee Gye-jong… no, the wreckage was carrying it through the street corner.

Eisel, who was walking by, turned her gaze to it, and her steps stopped abruptly.

I stopped at the same time and tilted my head.

Soon after, Ishmir, who was following us, reacts to Aisel’s gaze.

“For otherworldly species, if they are large, they are sold at a high price. Light and hard metal from otherworldly is popular. Besides that, it is also the main research material for magic engineering… If it is a form you are seeing for the first time, the value is even higher. Even so, magic engineers They say that if you tell them how bizarrely they moved, they will rush at you. Well, they are admirable in many ways.”

As if Ishmir had made a lot of money as an alien species, he put his index finger and thumb together to make a circle, or money shape, and smiled faintly.

She, who was called Ishmir of greed, was able to settle down, so as she said, the value of the other species was considerable.

A city where machines and fantasy coexist.

That was also the sentence that best represented Delgrad.

That didn’t mean they had the same level of technology as Hyundai, but as it was a world with magic, they somehow got along.

‘Should I say that there are inventions with superior technology in some respects than Hyundai?’

Items commonly referred to as the ‘Other World Series’ in the game could be obtained here.

Either purchased or received as a quest reward.

I remember that there were quite a few items that were efficient and unique, but I didn’t really need them. It wasn’t the high performance of the feeling called ‘final item’ in so-called RPG games.

Judging from the fact that Eisel didn’t respond much despite Ishmir’s kind explanation, it seems that her interest was not in the aftermath of the alien species.

I was just staring at it.

Soon after, she took her eyes off the other world and looked at me.

I moved my foot

Eisel still couldn’t catch the bell.

I deliberately tried not to read her thoughts, not to judge her.

The reason was that no matter what truth lurked in it, it didn’t seem to help save her.

On the other hand, since meeting Ishmir, Sierra has been looking back and comparing Ishmir in her memories.

[Revealing money is still the same…]

I knew Ishmir had a relationship with Sierra, but I didn’t know the details of what happened between them.

To the extent that Ishmir refers to Ja-wol as an old friend in the game.

‘I’ll have to ask this when I have time.’

It’s hard to predict what kind of feelings a reunion will have after death, so it’s best to ask carefully.

I was thinking of going to see Sierra’s acquaintance, but it seemed like we would meet at this time, so I didn’t deliberately set aside time to visit her acquaintance.

‘Even if I go to visit him first, I don’t know what to say.’

As I walked while thinking about things like that, I arrived at my real destination before I knew it.

The cadets in the front exude admiration. Eventually, they entered the property of the Windless family.

Lucia, whose cheeks turned red for no reason at the admiration of the cadets, smiled brightly.

At the entrance to the site, a bluish-colored statue, which is also the symbol of the Windless family, was showing off its majesty.

It is said that it is the first head of household, but I am not sure who it is because it is a very old person.

Soon, dozens of cadets who enter the mansion meet Sicily Windless, who has been of great help on this field trip.

Next to Sicily, her husband, Isaac Windriss, a magic engineer who is also called the number one in magic engineering, was sending a kind smile.

The marriage of the two also served as an opportunity for Delgrade to lead the field of magic engineering.

Afterwards, the cadets were guided by attendants and went to eat in a large hall.

The instructors and Ishmir followed Sicily and Isaac to another space in the mansion.

While eating, he was talking with the members of the group who were to hunt the alien species together this time.

The members of the crew were the same people who rode in the wagon earlier. Eisel, Yuri, Amon and even Lucia.

This group was composed of people of similar skill level. Depending on the group, the difficulty of the different types of opponents also differs.

then you will question

Even if Amon is like that, why is Lucia in the group?

It was clear that the instructors probably put it in knowing the characteristics of the desert. The Windless family, who use wind magic, don’t rule this desert for nothing.

The wind has greater power in a desert full of sand. To the residents of Delgrade leaving home, ‘Is it windy today?’ If I say that, everyone will be disgusted and go out with their clothes on.

The power of the sandstorm and the sandstorm was truly fierce. In fact, in the desert terrain in the game, the power of wind magic was twice as strong.

Likewise, Amon’s earth magic will be considerably stronger.

So the level was right.

‘It’s just a matter of where Lucia shoots her magic…’

However, unlike before, I wasn’t too worried.

Now, Lucia has grown to a level where she can cover any ‘strange thing’.

‘Looks like Ishmir will be our group’s temporary instructor.’

On this journey, the cadets leave the arms of the instructor and the warriors of the desert who used to catch the alien species are assigned to each group as temporary instructors, receiving their teachings and fighting.

Ishmir will be in charge of the highest level group among them.

And that group was our group.

Perhaps that’s why, even in the game, the condition for meeting Ishmir as a temporary instructor was to have a level of combat power that was within five fingers in the class.

From the player’s point of view, it was a fairly generous condition, so most players had to assume that they would meet Ishmir.

Ishmir was a fairly in-demand character.

Even though she is not very young, she has a look that doesn’t look old. Above all, there were a lot of people who were passionate about her muscles.

Besides, the fact that he was still single was valid. Among them, there was a minority of opinions saying that being single was a pity, but I’m not sure.

“…And among other species, humanoids are said to speak…! I’ve never heard of it myself. It’s amazing, right? hehehe.”

Lucia had been in the middle of explaining about the other species, forgetting to eat for several minutes.

“Are you talking?”

Yuri asked while cutting the steak.

“Yes, but it doesn’t speak the common language of the continent like the goblins… I heard it’s difficult to understand? Mr. Ishmir said it seems to be the language of the other world.”

the language of the other world.

The lines of humanoid foreign species in the game were expressed in an unrecognizable language like an alien language.

For reference, the language I am writing, called the common language of the continent, was not English or Korean.

Nevertheless, I was able to write fluently without any difficulty, as if something had happened to my common sense while falling into this world.

‘It’s because I couldn’t pretend to recognize it.’

Recognizing letters was not as inconvenient as recognizing the native language.

‘This world…’

I remember that even among the users, opinions were divided as to what kind of world the so-called other world would be.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t access the ancient ruins that seemed to be very related to the other world… It was a really frustrating situation.

There was no relevance to the main storyline, so there was no hindrance to progressing through the game, but I was curious about what I was curious about.

Around the time the conversation about the language of the other world is going back and forth on the table, instructors and warriors to become temporary instructors enter the hall where the cadets were eating.

Soon, Edward, on behalf of the instructors, snapped his fingers and made a clicking sound, attracting people’s attention.

“Cadets, I’m sorry, but could you pay attention for a moment while we’re eating?”

As the eyes of those in the hall turn to Edward, he opens his mouth by politely pointing with the palm of his hand at the warriors next to him.

“These are desert warriors who will serve as temporary instructors at Innocence Academy this time and help the cadets teach them how to hunt other species. Everyone should welcome them with a big round of applause.”

Applause echoes through the hall following Edward’s progress.

The warriors were wearing different costumes and different weapons. Sicily had a meticulous personality, so perhaps the warriors were selected according to the group of cadets.

Among them, Ishmir smiled while looking at Lucia.

At Edward’s request to go to the table with the groups assigned to the warriors who soon became temporary instructors, they move towards their respective tables.

Ishmir naturally came to our group’s table and took the last empty seat.

“Mr. Ishmir was our group’s temporary instructor…!”

Lucia’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

I wonder if Ishmir’s atrocities in the carriage have already been forgotten.

…however, it will not be like that.

Perhaps Lucia was relieved because she was well aware of Ishmir’s power.

“Yeah, it happened like that. They said it was a coincidence… Anyway, take care of me for a few days.”

Because his right eye was covered by an eyepatch, Ishmir, who had half a smile on his face, tapped me on the shoulder.

It was obviously a very light movement, but Ishmir’s hands were quite sharp.

Soon, the attendants prepared meals for the warriors, and Ishmir also participated in the meal.

“You guys, you live on expensive things…”

Ishmir, who has lived with the mindset that food only needs nutrients to move the body, takes a bite of steak and spit out such words.

Soon Lucia asks her a question.

This is a continuation of the conversation we had earlier.

“By the way, Instructor Ishmir, I have a question for you…!”

It was Ishmir who had been told to call her ‘teacher’ because she couldn’t remember what she was called ‘temporary instructor’, but due to Edward’s explanation, her title was immediately changed.

“why?”

“I was talking about the language of the other world that the instructor told me before. Do you still remember?

Ishmir, who was cutting a steak at Lucia’s polite question, who knows how to distinguish between public and private affairs, opens her mouth with a nonchalant expression.

“Ah, that? Yes. Unlike beast types, alien humanoids keep muttering while fighting. I don’t know what they’re saying, but anyway, they mumble so much that it’s very annoying.”

“Are they even communicating with each other?”

Yuri, who had been listening to Ishmir’s voice, asked a question.

“Umm, even if there were no other alien species around, the muttering was still the same… It’s not necessarily like that.”

“…Then, is there any chance that it is the language of the demons?”

In response to Amon’s question that popped out after a pause, Ishmir threw the fork he was holding into the air.

“No, that’s not it. I also participated in the war once, and I’ve heard the language of the demons myself, so I can say it with certainty. But… there is one thing I can pronounce. Every time they die right before they die, I can say it with certainty. I have one word to say. Well, I think it’s something like a last word. How about, can I hear that at least?”

Ishmir tilted his head and looked at us.

‘You’re going to tell me the language of the other world?’

The sound was obviously full of noise in the game, but how do you pronounce it?

At Ishmir’s suggestion, everyone at the table nodded in affirmation.

I decided to listen in silence.

Even if he was curious about this, he was still listening.

Soon, Ishmir opened his mouth and pronounced the ‘language of the other world’ quite fluently.

“…This feeling?

“”Oh oh…””

Those at the table are amazed by Ishmir’s fluent pronunciation. They’d never heard of it, so I couldn’t tell if it was fluent, but I clapped and watched it.

I clapped softly, hiding my shyness. But his face hardened and he couldn’t smile.

‘They say it’s the language of another world…’

It was a language I was more familiar with.

If I’m not mistaken, what Ishmir had just said was definitely ‘English’.

I think I know now where the other world is.

The useless discussions that users had in the community were sorted out with a single word from Ishmir.

There were several theories.

Among them, the most probable theory is the theory that ‘the other world is the future Earth’.

To translate Ishmir’s English directly…

‘…Where is the king?’

Since he said it was a word he uttered right before he died, at least he wouldn’t be asking where the king of the kingdom of Altarix, to which Delgrad belongs, is.

Did they even have a king who thought they were nothing more than killing machines?

It was the first time I had ever seen such a grotesque, human-killing robot.

In the first place, the modern Earth where I lived didn’t even have the technology to make such an ‘artificial intelligence killing machine’.

…At least as far as I knew, being an ordinary person.

‘What has to do with me is…’

…I don’t think so.

But I can’t be sure.

First of all, I am an earthling, and I can understand English.

I don’t know how the dimension was distorted, but I guess it could be said that there are earthlings from the future besides me.

‘King…’

The uneasy feelings that suddenly sprouted in my heart did not seem like they would disappear easily.

***

“Amon, are you sleeping already?”

Amon, who was lying on the bed and snoring, threw a question that would not give an answer.

I used all my senses to examine Amon’s condition.

Judging from her stable breathing, it seems that she won’t wake up for a while.

In this desert field trip, we live in groups, but Amon and I were the only men in our group, so it was just the two of us.

Another room nearby will contain Ishmir, Lucia, Yuri and Eisel.

As I lay on the bed, I hid myself in the shadows.

After a while, I got out of the shadows and put my feet out on the rooftop of the inn.

The night view of Delgrad was coming in at a glance.

‘Eisel is still in the room…’

Eisel, who looked at it through the senses, didn’t know if it was because he shared a room with Ishmir, but he didn’t show any different movements than a regressor.

Even if it’s the first day, it can’t be a pity to spend the night as it is.

Regarding the newly created foreign world… Since there is a distance from Delgrad to the ancient ruins, it seemed better to put it off for a while.

If you go out to the desert to catch alien species anyway, you will naturally get closer to the ruins.

What I’m going to do tonight is a simple cleaning around.

It was just a level of cleaning done in advance before someone tripped over the garbage and was hurt.
