I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy chapter 124

124. Question and answer and collapse (1)

“Confronting target. Suitability judgment pending. Awaiting response from ‘Mosin’.”

The humanoid Lee Gye-jong muttered something difficult to understand, even though he spoke ‘Korean,’ which is my mother tongue.

It seemed that he was communicating with ‘Mosin’.

Rather, how did he come to speak Korean?

Aren’t I in a situation where I’m becoming ‘Zeto’, a game character I made?

Even though he didn’t speak Korean, let alone speak any other words, Lee Gye-jong started to speak Korean at will, doing scans and all.

[What do you keep muttering about… Disciple, why don’t you break your teeth? ]

Sierra scolded me, probably getting nervous after hearing his muttering.

“…”

But I didn’t take any hasty moves.

So far, I haven’t been able to get the right information, let alone their intentions.

“…suitability check. Recognizes the fitter holding the ‘crown’ as a ‘king’ as of the current time. Chain of command changing.”

Lee Gye-jong, who had been quiet for a moment, spat out those words, and then he bent one knee toward me.

“Meet the King, aircraft number X-05. As ordered, we are bringing the ‘King’ to the ‘Mosin’.”

He politely held out his huge palm as if to get on top of it.

[ … ]

“…”

Sierra was dumbfounded by his actions, and I was dumbfounded as well.

He wasn’t even wearing a ‘crown’, but judging from his words and actions, it seems that I was the king the humanoid alien species were looking for.

It wasn’t completely unexpected, but it took a while for him to take me.

Who is the ‘Mosin’, and what are they hoping for from the ‘King’, and why are they looking for it so desperately?

When it comes to Mother Goddess, nothing comes to mind other than the World Tree of the Elves and the Earth Mother Goddess.

But the mother goddesses of those who seem quite far from nature probably don’t mean the world tree.

The destination will be an ancient ruin.

If there was a base for them, that is, ‘Mother Base’, it was the only one.

At that time, I was contemplating whether I should follow him or not.

I feel the presence of someone who is approaching this place at a tremendous speed.

“Energy response detected. Appears to be the hostile force ‘Panterlain’. Judging from the scale of the measured energy, it is impossible to survive when entering battle. You will not be able to complete your orders. …My King, make your choice quickly.”

A humanoid alien species who called himself ‘X-05’ lowered his head and urged me.

Yeah, there wasn’t much time left.

What he called ‘Panteline’ seems to be referring to Eisel, who is running towards this place.

As he said, there was a high possibility that Eisel would be ruthlessly shattered when Eisel arrived.

I finished my thoughts in an instant and took out the sword I was holding.

ㅡSureung.

There is not much time.

I immediately climbed onto his arm and lunged onto his shoulder.

“……”

Then he whispered so softly that even Sierra couldn’t hear it. If it was a robot of future technology, I wondered if my whisper would reach.

Then, as if flowing water, the outstretched arms are lowered.

ㅡCard Deuk!!!

A straight piece of metal is cut cleanly.

ㅡKugung…

Its arm drops to the floor with a heavy sound, raising sand dust.

“Confirm order. After maneuvering to evade, join the base.”

Lee Gye-jong, who moved his huge body quite acrobaticly to increase the distance from me, spat out such words without being taken aback by my sudden hostile behavior.

In the first place, I wonder if there is anything called ’embarrassment’ to them, who are just robots, that is, machines.

Lee Gye-jong bows his head towards me.

Should that be considered a goodbye?

Even so, for a while, the lightning magic pouring down from behind me was thrown at him.

It was Eisel’s magic.

He moved his body again and narrowly avoided Eisel’s magic.

Then, the guy’s body rose from the ground and spewed out a small puff of smoke, and with a clicking sound, the propulsion organs attached to various parts of the guy’s body appeared.

‘Could it have flown?’

It showed a strange difference in appearance from the humanoid alien species I had seen in the game so far, so I wonder if it was a higher-level machine.

ㅡkeying!

The roar of engines fills your ears.

Before long, blue flames erupted from its propulsion engine, and it leaped before Eisel could unleash another lightning spell.

ㅡToo bang!

The guy kicked off the ground and flew into the air, rising into the sky at an astonishing speed.

High, high in the sky, the guy who climbed through the clouds disappears from sight.

“Jetto!”

When I turn my head at the urgent call, I see a platinum-haired girl sliding down the sand dune.

Eisel, who came down the sand dune, ran up to me and hugged me.

Was I worried?

She was running so fast that her body, gasping for breath, was trembling slightly.

“…Where did you get hurt, where did you get hurt?”

Eisel lifted the robe wrapped around my body and inspected my condition with his own eyes.

“You couldn’t have been hurt, right?”

I smiled at her who had a worried look in her eyes.

“”Zeto!””

Others are then seen over the sand dunes.

Lucia ran to me with a drowsy face, probably not waking up yet.

When they asked what had happened, I shrugged my shoulders and opened my mouth.

“…Unfortunately, I missed it. I hoped, but I didn’t know that it could fly.”

I didn’t particularly regret or miss it, but the severed arm of Lee Gye-jong, who was standing at my feet, was supporting my words.

They also witnessed the Lee Gye-jong flying up into the sky.

Sierra, who was standing with her arms crossed at my answer, tilted her head.

…Sierra might need an explanation.

“It’s an alien species that can fly. It’s the first time I’ve seen anything like that.”

Ishmir, who was touching his chin, said that with a slightly serious face.

Because there was no alien species that flew so far, I was able to somehow stop them in the desert, but the story changes a little from the moment I fly.

While various stories were being exchanged about the different species, my head was filled with other thoughts.

Alien species who came from a place called the other world, presumed to be the future Earth.

And the king they were looking for.

An earthling possessed by the world in the game.

Hard-to-understand explanations from alien species, humanoids capable of flying, such as suitability and crowns, which have never been seen even in games.

Questions come in like waves.

This will be resolved soon.

***

A ‘knight’ who lost an arm entered a dark space with a huge body.

The knight approached the orb that gave off a faint light.

A long cylindrical tube was connected to the black sphere embedded in one side of the wall, and it seemed that something was being supplied to the sphere.

“…mother mother.”

The knight gets down on one knee and bows his head.

The knight was impersonating a human knight.

Because it was programmed like that.

Soon, a voice is heard from the sphere called ‘Mosin’.

“Fleet number X-05, return confirmation. Review data.”

A long cord attached to the sphere moves by itself and gets stuck in the back of the knight’s head.

As if it has found its place, the sphere receives ‘data’ through the appropriately inserted code.

Originally, I didn’t have to use this ‘classic’ method, but now that I’m out of the general environment, it’s cumbersome but I have to go through.

Soon the sphere examines the data.

‘Data’ was a memory and video that captured the situation at the time when the knight met the ‘king’ through the eyes of the knight.

The knight was holding out his hand.

To their ‘king’ who was wearing a pure white ‘crown’.

to the one who brought them here.

Unfortunately, the king did not respond to the knight’s call. The king gently cut off the knight’s arm and whispered softly.

The king gave orders in a low voice, speaking the language of an old country that had been forgotten by them.

“Retreat. I’ll go find you guys.”

Then, the knight who received the king’s order retreats.

Video cuts out.

This was the amount of information the sphere needed.

The sphere reviewed the video several more times, quickly analyzing and calculating the situation.

However, as it was a small amount of information and above all ‘first contact’, it required a lot of calculation.

The sphere merged with the information it had and cut off and arranged countless branches one by one.

“…”

Eventually, the sphere itself understands the king’s intentions.

“The previous order to pursue the ‘King’ is revoked. All aircraft are temporarily put into stealth mode, preventing them from fighting hostile forces.”

The sphere gives orders to the vessels under its chain of command.

It was to await the king’s visit.

The sphere thought and judged itself.

There was a clear difference from other machines here.

Soon, the invisible gaze of the sphere reaches the ‘knight’ who was bowing his head in front of him.

“Confirmed the damage to the left arm of aircraft number X-05. I will request parts procurement. …It was hard work.”

I understood the meaning of the word suffered. However, it was only a matter of knowing the meaning.

The knight, who had no ’emotions’, bluntly lowered his head once more and stood up.

Soon, the article leaves the space.

Looking at the article, the sphere pondered over the words he had uttered.

A big change was happening to him just by checking the video data of his encounter with the king.

emotion.
