I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy chapter 211

211. Touhou, Ishai (6)

As the banquet was slowly coming to an end, I was following King Surui to the storehouse where he stored the treasures.

“It’s too bad you don’t drink.”

Surui was walking along the wall with a staggering gait.

He drank a lot, saying it was a drink he hadn’t had in a long time, and he was like that.

“hahahaha, alcohol doesn’t work well for me. I lose my mind right away.”

“Then isn’t it better? Originally, drinking is to lose one’s mind.”

“There’s a lot of work to be done before I lose my mind.”

“You might be.”

I remember the last time I had a drink and stretched out.

Coincidence or not, Eisel was by my side both times. If she had experienced me in her previous episode, she must have known that I was weak in alcohol.

At that time, what was she planning to do with me when I was drunk?

I can’t imagine anything good.

“This is the storage room where the royal family’s treasures are stored. I mainly use it, but my brother has some…”

There were dozens of warriors stationed near the warehouse to prevent anyone from entering or leaving.

The two samurai standing in front of the door looked at Surui, bowed their heads, and opened the door.

The door opened, and in front of my eyes, all sorts of unique items were neatly arranged in the warehouse.

Among the dogs, there were all kinds of dharma treasures, from weapons to miscellaneous tools that looked ordinary.

“Your brother is strong enough that he doesn’t need a dharma, but I was different. Since I was young, my small size and weak muscles and bones became a stumbling block and I couldn’t even set foot in the Cheonseonhak Hall. Instead, I became interested in….”

“Looks like the law.”

“Besides that, I put more effort into study and knowledge. Since I became the king’s younger brother, shouldn’t I be able to take care of my older brother?”

“Are you not particularly interested in power?”

“Power? You’re saying you don’t know how the royal family of Ishai came into being.”

At my question, Surui sighed and laughed, then shook her head.

“On the surface, it looks like a kingdom made up of many tribes, but in reality they don’t get along very well. They said that the land was stained with blood when the kingdom was founded.”

“Are you saying there are still forces that oppose the royal family?”

“Yes, my older brother and I suffered from all sorts of threats when we were young. Each time, we were able to survive through the help of older brother’s strength and my cunning. It was the same with Kimei.”

“One thing I don’t understand is Princess Kimei…”

“Isn’t he the heir?”

“I don’t know the law of Ishai.”

“The royal family used to be a deer-god tribe. The deer-god tribe has been a matriarchal tribe since ancient times. This happened because the mother who was the previous queen could only give birth to a son. Perhaps, a matrilineal society in need of an heir could arise. You can also see it as a disadvantage. A queen can’t sow seeds like a king.”

Surui, who had been laughing while talking about her mother, continued her words.

“Ever since my older brother ascended the throne, the opposition from those who were dissatisfied with the royal family intensified, and as the second son, I was less threatened than my older brother, so I had no time to pay attention to power. Rather, I was busy being relieved. That kind of older brother Kimei… So he had a daughter…”

“You must have set your eyes on fire to assassinate Princess Kimei.”

“It was like that. Now it seems that my brother has wiped out all of them and only the remnants remain.”

There was a story like this in the royal family of Ishai.

I didn’t have a chance to hear such detailed information in the game, so I finally understood Kimei’s reaction when I first met him.

In other words, I did not save a country’s princess, but a person who would later become a queen.

‘Progress is expected to rise.’

At least one unanswered question is…

“By the way, what the hell is a ‘sacrifice’?”

…That was it.

Surui just mentioned this and asked me.

“Is the goblin like that?”

“Yes, I had no choice but to have frequent conversations with him. Previously, he only muttered things like when he would die, but a few days ago, he jumped with joy saying that he could sacrifice Kimei.”

The demon who was decapitated by me while being careless said that.

The first thing I’ve heard about offerings, plans, and so on.

It was information that I had no memory of, so I had to see it as an aftermath that appeared as the future changed.

“I am still investigating.”

Maybe we should ask Keraf about this later.

“I’m investigating… Are you doing something similar to a Dark Ghost?”

“The Dark Ghost…”

Are they a group that specializes in dealing with demons and monsters in the East?

Countries in the West have created specific knights for each country to deal with demons hidden in human lands, but unlike the West, there is no organization run by the state to deal with demons because it is far from the land of demons.

However, there were no demons in the east, so dark ghosts were born.

I don’t have much information on them because they didn’t appear in the game, but maybe I’ll bump into them on this trip.

“It’s similar. First of all, it’s because I belong to the saintess’ knights.”

“I see.”

Surui nodded and finally moved his feet where he had stopped and looked around the warehouse and looked around at the dharma treasures.

“Here it is. It seems to have been tucked away in a corner because it has no use for it.”

“Hmm…”

What Surui picked up was a log.

A log that doesn’t look very distinctive from the outside.

“Ah, by the way…You need an explanation. This is a pottery I bought when I went to Hwaguk before. Hwaguk is famous for ‘ninjas’ who use unique martial arts called Ninbeop. This is It’s one of the dharma treasures they carried, and it can play a similar role to Ninjutsu.”

Suruy brought a heap of logs and handed them to me.

“Is this… A tree?”

“It’s a dharma board called Reverse Weighing Ball. It’s not that the log is the dharma board, it’s the marbles inside it that are the dharma board. According to what I’ve heard, it’s a training tool used by young ninjas to learn the ninjutsu called ‘self-confidence.’ More.”

“Can you… Change the position of the body and the log?”

Ninjas were used to swapping bodies with logs.

“That’s correct. In fact, if it contained marbles, I thought it would be possible to use other items besides logs, but the ninja handing over the items said it had to be logs…”

Are you paying attention to historical evidence?

They were thorough ninjas in the odd part.

“What else can I do to change my body?”

“The inverse ball is actually a Dharma bowl made up of two marbles. One is contained in a log, and the other is… Well…”

Surui looked around the log to find the rest of the marbles, but he couldn’t find them.

“Oops… It looks like you gave it to Kimei and didn’t get it back.”

“Then this law book belongs to Princess Kimei…”

“That’s not true. Kimei won’t be using it anymore.”

Surui shook his head in denial at my shy reaction.

“Rather than that, is it really okay to look at that law? Are you in any danger? Even so, it’s better to take the armor…”

It’s a threat to your safety.

Whether to say you’re under threat or not.

“hahahaha, this is enough for me. I don’t need a separate weapon. I fell in love with this sword.”

I patted the ‘Sierra’ on her waist as I waved her hand, and then Surui put her chin on her chin and made a ‘ho-oh…’ Sound while appreciating Sierra’s appearance.

[ Anyway, it’s a bit embarrassing to say that all of a sudden, disciple… ]

Sierra blushes at my sudden confession of love.

“You can tell it’s a famous sword even if you don’t see the blade.”

Those who don’t know that Sierra is a yodo might think that it must be a cherished sword like Surui’s reaction now.

It’s also true that they didn’t really need much armor.

The magic treasure that Surui possessed would eventually be something worth buying with money, and he didn’t feel lacking in force right now.

“Anyway, that’s great. If you want to get the rest of the marbles, go talk to Kimei. You should also ask Kimei how to use the inverted ball.”

“Okay.”

“The log is…”

Surui looked at me as I was holding the log, and her words trailed off.

“I’ll take it right now.”

I took out the space bag that was in her arms and put the whole log in. Saying that, Surui’s eyes widened.

Subspace pockets are rare everywhere.

Soon enough, Surui, who was looking at my subspace bag, called a samurai outside, and she gave an order to guide me to the annex where Princess Kimei was.

She already knew where she was in her outbuilding, but she didn’t feel the need to use Shady’s power to show up out of nowhere.

She was about to meet Kim Mei and get the rest of the marbles from the inverted sphere.

“…This is an inverse ball.”

The small bead Kimei gave me was engraved with characters from the East.

Perhaps it was the law of the east, the way mana was captured and the feeling of mana were different.

“My, what if you smell it…!”

Kimei hurriedly stops me from observing the inverse position.

“It smells like Princess Kimei.”

“No, that can’t be…”

“How do you use it?”

“I know that when you want to change your position, you just have to chew a marble…”

“That means…”

“……”

As Kim Mei explained to me in my voice, her face turned red and she lowered her head.

Is this marble ever going into her mouth?

“Seasons, wiped with a clean cloth… Should be fine…”

“It would have been worth more if it hadn’t been polished.”

“Oh, benefactor…! It’s mean…!”

Kim Mei gave a small shout at my cleverness, and then Sierra’s honey chestnut, which was next to her, hit the crown directly.

I smiled as I caressed the aching crown of my head.

“Ahahahaha… Is there any chance that the beads will break?”

“Yeah, it’s not that hard. A little bit of chewing will instantly change its position.”

“It’s not a one-time thing, but if you want to use it again, recall may be an issue.”

“Still, I believe that marbles tend to stick to each other, so I can track their location. Right now… There’s no reaction?”

Chimei looks at the beads on my palm and tilts her head.

I’ll have to test the exact thing, but it doesn’t seem to be particularly effective when in a subspace pouch.

‘It’s better to put it in a safe place.’

It is hard to see that putting marbles in the mouth in advance can cope with all situations, so it wouldn’t be bad to add a function that allows you to put marbles in the prosthetic hand and activate it at any time later.

I don’t know if that’s possible, but Zepetty will take care of it.

I think it would be better to put it in your mouth in advance when it seems dangerous now.

‘Well, it would be best if I had nothing to write about…’

Looking at the relationship diagram shown in the status window, it seemed difficult to do so.

‘Somehow, it seemed like he was drinking too much.’
