I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy chapter 68

68. memory

68. memory

At that time, the commander of Fort Polwin, Mikhail, and the black-blooded trio visited the graves of the academy cadets who had fought in the war.

“It’s been a while since I’ve come here, yes. It’s a pity that Priscilla didn’t come with me.”

Mikhail looked at the tombstones and said softly.

“Priscilla said it would be difficult to watch…”

Reina answered Mikhail.

It was tragic.

They sacrificed themselves at an early age for their country, for their families, or for humanity.

Flowers that could not bloom always contained futility.

“It wasn’t easy. For you guys, for me.”

When Mikhail heard an order from his superiors to command a unit of academy cadets during the war, he wanted to feed himself.

However, it is said that heroes shine in times of crisis.

In Mikhail’s eyes, the images of Reina and Edward appear.

A trio of black blood.

They were war heroes who showed brilliant performance in the war.

Although Mikhail himself was said to have excellent leadership skills, they were like queens in terms of chess pieces.

the strongest creature.

They roamed the battlefield as if age was just a number and slaughtered countless demons.

“Don’t look so downcast. Because you guys were there, they were able to gather courage… Is Kaliman still there?”

“Yes. I think we should give him time to be alone for a while.”

Edward answered Mikhail’s question in silence.

Kaliman lost his lover in the war.

She was an innocent and fresh female student who went to the academy with him.

At the time of her death, Reina and Mikhail had a hard time stopping Kaliman from jumping into the enemy camp with his eyes closed.

So they silently walked through the cemetery, scanning the names of the tombstones.

They were comrades-in-arms who shed blood together, best friends and loyal subordinates.

When Mikhail swallowed bitter regret and lost himself in contemplation.

A soldier rushes toward Mikhail.

“What’s going on?”

Mikhail shook his head and asked him.

Soon, a soldier with a serious face approaches him and whispers.

“Commander. It is said that the lich in the snowy mountain has been resurrected. But…”

“The lich was resurrected…? How much damage?”

“That’s… they say it’s already been subjugated. There’s no damage to the fortress…”

“what?”

“From the circumstances, it seems that an academy cadet who was present at the scene succeeded in subjugating it alone, but they say they are still investigating.”

“The cadet subjugated the lich alone…? Why the investigation?”

“It’s nothing else, there was also a body of one of our allied soldiers at the site… that’s… a book of demons came out of the soldier’s arms.”

“Sigh…”

Mikhail sighed heavily as he raised his eyebrows at the news that made his head hurt.

“It seems that the lich was resurrected with the demon’s book…”

“I guess so. Is there any chance that the cadets, not our soldiers, were involved in the resurrection…?”

“The cadet on the scene… is ‘blind’. So…”

“I can’t read the book…”

Mikhail cut off the soldier’s words and blurted out his answer.

It was the moment when it became clear that the soldier was the devil’s helper.

The situation in which the demons’ tips came out from the allied forces opposing the demons.

I knew that there was a blind person among the first year students on the field trip from the academy this time.

Mikhail had quarreled with Edward a little at Edward’s absurd request to put the cadet on a night scout.

“That blind man, no, the cadet… why did you say he was in the snowy mountains?”

“In the words of the cadet, ‘It was to memorize the path to make reconnaissance a little easier.’ I said… I was wondering as I heard the information, but can a blind person be assigned to a reconnaissance team?”

The soldier tilted his head as he answered Mikhail’s question.

In response, Mikhail managed to hold back a sigh that seemed to burst out and continued the conversation.

“…That cadet will be a night scout. I put it in myself at the request of the instructors. The cadets don’t seem to have any problems… How many people know about this?”

“It’s just a few soldiers who visited the snowy mountain and the medical officer at the academy. And even the cadets who were there, there aren’t that many.”

“Haa… Yes, will you prepare to return to the fortress right away?”

“Yes!”

Mikhail sent the soldier away and lowered his head, touching his throbbing forehead.

And then Mikhail calls Edward who was on the other side.

“Edward, talk to me for a minute.”

***

While responding to the Allied Forces’ investigation, I had a conversation with Mikhail, who hurriedly returned to the fortress.

It was about the reward for subjugating the lich alone.

I received a small box from him.

that was the reward

‘It just happened that I had one elixir in my hand. I heard that you use techniques that put a lot of strain on your body. Priscilla and Edward’s testimonies have been given, so it’s better to accept them without feeling burdened.’

Mikhail said that and handed me the box.

It was different from the reward I was supposed to receive.

In the game, it depends on how you handled the rewards you received from Commander Mikhail after defeating the lich, and what the player’s weapon was.

If you subdue with a fort, there is no particular reward.

However, if you succeeded in subjugation alone, you could receive rewards such as weapons and armor.

However, as long as the player handles the spear, Mikhail presents a spear he used in the past.

It was an Epic grade spear, but it was evaluated as a usable weapon until the middle of the story.

So I wasn’t expecting much, but I received the elixir I needed for the 2nd chapter of Yeokcheon.

It was an unexpected benefit.

The elixir he received was a by-product that fell from the antlers of ‘Deus,’ a deer-like creature living in the north.

Like the shell that fell off the horn.

I don’t know how to eat it, but at least it seemed to be a higher quality elixir than Mandragora.

Originally, I was thinking of giving it as a gift if there was a new captain in the fort, but it seemed like there wouldn’t be a captain level person assigned for a while because of the situation like this.

Sierra glanced at the contents of the box and said, “Now they’re even eating deer antlers. ] muttered something like that.

In any case, the cadets’ tours of the fortress stopped after that.

The Polwin side announced this incident and launched a large-scale investigation targeting the soldiers.

The post-processing went as expected and seemed to have ended well without raising any suspicions.

At least for Sierra’s blasphemous words, ‘I’ll have to go to the temple and confess.’ I put a threat called.

Eventually, time passed and the last day at the fort.

The first year cadets, who were scattered and met again, had a secret party, led by ‘Lucia’ and ‘Crank’.

“Thanks to Mr. Zeto, I didn’t have to freeze to death while standing guard on the castle wall!”

Lucia raised her glass of drink and shouted excitedly.

At this, Orpheel glanced at her and helped with a word.

“…Aren’t you just dozing off, let alone guarding?”

“Well, it’s boring… I’m sleepy…”

Everyone laughs at the conversation between Lucia and Orphel.

Everyone said it was so nice to be able to rest for the last two days, probably because they weren’t used to the cold in the north.

Meanwhile, Kaen, who was sitting next to me, whispers to me.

“Did you already know that Buckland was a demon worshiper?”

“No, it’s a coincidence.”

Kaen must have been concerned that I had single-handedly subdued the lich.

[heheheung, Jirogo is so shameless. ]

Sierra, who was listening to my answer, snorted.

rich.

It gave me many rewards.

Especially ‘Tears of the Dead’…

…I see Eisel sitting across from me and drinking.

I don’t think giving Eisel the Tears of the Dead will save her from repeated deaths.

A more fundamental problem had to be addressed.

The only way to save Eisel was to erase the demons who were targeting her from the world.

At this level of growth, I think I can touch them soon.

‘I’ll have to meet Daedroth before that, though.’

I hope that Daedroth hasn’t gotten tired of pretending to be the village chief.

Sierra didn’t talk to me much at the last drinking party, or at a gathering of many people.

As if he would not interfere so that I could fully enjoy this time.

At that time, Lucia stands up from her seat and shouts.

“Oh, right! Guys, I bought souvenirs! Today is the last day in the North too!”

Everyone’s attention is focused on the sound of a souvenir.

“I heard it’s a special souvenir that can only be bought here!”

Lucia said that and gave everyone a souvenir one by one.

“Here, Mr. Jeto too. Hee hee.”

I stared blankly at the souvenir Lucia handed me.

It was a small piece of ice.

Strangely, it was neither cold nor melting.

“what’s this?”

Having received the souvenir, Yuri asks Lucia for an explanation.

Lucia, who had been diligently handing out souvenirs, opens her mouth.

“I heard that if you blow mana while remembering the memories you want to put into this ice, the memories will be saved?!”

“That…Lucia…I think it’s going to be quite expensive just by listening…? Saving memories…”

Crank, who had been silently listening to Lucia’s explanation, asked in a timid voice.

“It wasn’t very expensive! It’s only 1 gold per one!”

“”1 gold?!””

Lucia’s cheerful answer continues to amaze everyone in the seat.

“Why, why do you say that…?!

Soon, Lucia started to parent.

Orphel, who was looking at Lucia, opened her mouth and sorted out the situation.

“There is no one who buys souvenirs for 1 gold each. And in such a large amount…”

“Considering the personality of the head of Windless… you’ll get scolded, maybe.”

“It’s fortunate that it ended up being scolded. He has a gentle personality.”

After that, Yuri and Amon helped each other.

After listening to Lucia’s story, it seems that the merchant was a wandering merchant wandering around the North.

This leads to the conclusion that a refund would be unreasonable.

Although Lucia sniffed… Everyone gave her a thank you and patted her, and her expression soon brightened.

Fortunately, I bought Lucia according to the number of people, so it was not a place where all the first year cadets gathered, so I think I spent about a dozen gold.

‘If it’s a souvenir worth 1 gold each, I wouldn’t know.’

When I said it was an unfamiliar item, it was very expensive for a souvenir.

There was no need to buy souvenirs like this while playing the game.

The atmosphere became friendly again, and each talked about what memories they would hold.

“I should say fortunately, it works.”

Orpel first tested the souvenir and proved the value of 1 gold.

If you blow mana into the ice that contains your memories, the memories will be played in your head.

However, it was produced in a special way, so it seemed that it was not shared with anyone other than himself.

I’m glad it wasn’t shared.

Then, after distributing souvenirs to everyone, Lucia sat down and asked Orphel.

“What kind of memories does Orpheel have?!”

“It’s just… It’s something I’ve been impressed with lately.”

Eventually, Amon imitates Orpheel’s voice in a funny way.

“That’s obvious… The ice of the Aisin family… doesn’t break easily…”

“Pooh!”

Crank, who was drinking quietly, can’t help laughing and squirts out the drink.

It was the story Lucia had told everyone earlier.

After Orphel uttered those words, the lich was resurrected and the ice block was shattered.

Orphel’s cold gaze reaches Amon.

The worse crank stopped them both.

After that, discussions were in full swing among the cadets about what kind of memories they would hold.

Yuri looked at me and opened her mouth.

“How will Zeto’s memories be contained…?”

“Because they have a sense of smell, hearing, and a sense of smell. It should be enough to bring back memories of that time.”

“What kind of memories are you trying to capture?”

Yuri asked me.

Then, even Eisel and Kaen’s gazes, which had been ignoring each other, focused on me.

If you want to capture some memories…

“Maybe it’s now.”

…I think I’d like to capture the memories of this moment where everyone laughs and chats without worry, puts delicious food in their mouths, and continues in a pleasant atmosphere.

Because everyone seemed so happy.

“That’s really… no fun.”

Eisel reacts to my boring answer, and everyone else expresses disappointment.

Embarrassed, I ask Yuri again to change the subject.

“What kind of memories will Ms. Yuri contain? Everyone seems to have memories of the North.”

“Um… a secret!”

“That’s how it comes out, this is…”

I didn’t give up and asked Kaen and Eisel, too.

“I-I’m a secret too!”

“…Well.”

The answer from them was not much different from Yuri’s.

What kind of memories will everyone keep?

***

The time when the moonlight begins to seep through the windows.

After a long party, they were returning home with a small piece of ice in their hands.

A piece of ice that encapsulates memories.

Someone captured the image of precious people chatting and being happy together.

‘The scenery is nice.’

‘……Puffy, that’s right.’

Even if someone doesn’t have to keep it, they have captured unforgettable memories.

“Because I said only I could see this…”

Another person recalled the memory of glancing at a man sweating with his muscles exposed in a hot place from the side… and his nose bleed.

And someone else…

“I can’t either…”

…Memories with him, memories with him were not contained, so I was in great pain.

Soon she drops a piece of ice on the floor.

ㅡ Kwajik.

trample down

That’s how their northern trip is all over.

Meanwhile, a city that was near the academy far from the north.

As the night deepens, the dawn deepens, and a luxurious carriage stops on a dark road.

A female knight in shiny silver armor followed the carriage and got off her horse.

Then the knight opens the carriage door.

The woman who got off the carriage was wearing a flawless white dress.

She takes a step and opens her mouth.

“Are you sure this is the house?”

“Yes, based on my research, this is the home of the merchant Anthony.”

“It seems that he was called a carpenter even when he was in the Holy Land. To think that the devil’s tongue could reach outside the Holy Land… Let’s move quickly. I heard that his daughter is in critical condition.”

After having such a conversation, they headed to the door of the mansion.

Fortunately, the light in the mansion was still on.

‘Maybe it’s too late. May the Lord protect this poor lamb…’

The woman in a dress knocked on the door, hiding her nervousness.

Then, a voice is heard from inside the mansion.

“Dad, I want to open it!”

“Emilia, isn’t it already time to go to bed?”

The sound coming from inside the mansion was her unexpected voice.

ㅡChulkkeok.

Soon the door opens.

But nothing reached her eye level.

When I lowered my gaze, I was able to see it only then.

It was none other than a young girl who opened the door.

“Uh… who are you…?”

The girl tilts her head and expresses a question.

“Emilia, stay inside…”

A man’s voice is heard from behind the girl.

Then a man approaches and sees her waiting in front of the door.

The man, Anthony, is stained with embarrassment.

“…Saintess…? Even the captain…”

However, the saintess was equally perplexed.

‘I heard that my daughter is in critical condition.’

Soon after, the saintess lowered her head slightly with her hand on her chest and opened her mouth.

“…Anthony, I’m sorry for coming in so late. Can I talk to you for a moment if you don’t mind?”
