Episode 126
“What bet?”
Edquill raised an eyebrow. The impatience was evident on his face, as he thought he could escape the porter’s role.
“The bet is, of course, this.”
Raon tapped the scabbard.
“Is it Dalian?”
“okay. After all, this is enough for conversations and betting on the life of a sword, right?”
“Like a young man, you think the world is too easy.”
Edquill’s lips curled like branches wet in the rain.
“Do you think of me as a monster or a mercenary?”
“If you are so confident, you can accept the bet.”
“… … .”
He didn’t answer right away, but he chewed his lips and sighed.
“There are conditions.”
“Condition? Wouldn’t you be in a position to do that?”
Words from the start. Raon knew exactly who had the upper hand now.
“Let’s see the match only with individual force.”
“What do you mean?”
“It means fighting only with the swordsmanship and Auror that you and I have, not the power of a special weapon.”
“Hmm… .”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he glanced at the Requiem Sword behind his waist.
‘You got it right.’
It was worthwhile to show him how to purposely catch an Ice Troll Shaman with a Requiem Sword.
As expected, Edquill seemed to think that he killed the shaman with one blow, not with his own power, but with the specialness of the Requiem Sword.
“Do that.”
Raon nodded his head calmly, hiding the smile that was about to spread.
“Then what’s the price for your new addition?”
“Simple. You will become scouts.”
“uh? What?”
“Get rid of the swordsman and try becoming a low end scout. Only about three months.”
Self-centered, arrogant bastards like Edquill and the Swordsman have to put themselves in someone else’s shoes before they can come to their senses. Even if I kicked them out of Habun Castle, I wanted to let them know what they did and kick them out.
“Are you really crazy?”
Edquil pointed at Ladin and the scouts and shouted.
“They are not even able to use Auras! Why the hell do you care about these guys! Besides, there is no way the Commander would allow such a condition!”
“Turn it off… .”
“Ugh… .”
The scouts bit their lips as if in anger, but they couldn’t open their mouths due to the bloody momentum that Edquill emitted.
“is it.”
Raon’s eyes froze colder than the glacier of the North Sea.
“You are… .”
“Edquill.”
As Raon was about to spit out the words that Raon had pulled up from within, Terian approached him.
“I thought I would do it in moderation, but I don’t know how much.”
He wrinkled his face like rotten bark, and stood in front of Edquill.
“Deputy, deputy commander.”
“I never imagined that you would think that you would throw away the comrades you fought with, but you would tremble.”
“No, not that… .”
“Close your mouth. Edquil. Because I’m holding on to wanting to cut your head off right now.”
Terian made Edquil back down, then turned to look at Raon.
“Permit. I will be the notary of your confrontation.”
“Deputy, deputy commander!”
“It doesn’t matter how weak you are. ‘Cause you can make it stronger But I don’t want to leave the garbage that thinks that way about a colleague who should be left behind.”
“If we all become scouts, there will be problems with Habun Castle! The castle could fall!”
“If it was a fortress that would collapse because you were not there, it collapsed immediately. Don’t be overconfident of yourself. Edquil.”
“Ugh… .”
Edquil licked his lips.
“But I can’t put everyone here at risk because of your confrontation.”
Terian narrowed her eyes and pointed down the mountain.
“Dalian will start after we arrive at a safe place.”
* * *
The Habun Castle forces escaped Mount Sterlin with the heads of ice troll warriors and shamans that could be called loot.
As soon as Raon and Edquill arrived at the safe area, they put down their luggage and relaxed each other as if they had promised.
The reconnaissance team and the sniper squad also organized the surroundings so that two people could fight each other. A temporary dungeon was created like that, and Raon and Edquill faced each other.
“This is your last chance.”
Edquill drew the sword from his waist and revealed it.
“If you step back now, I’m thinking of quitting too.”
“It’s insecure to say that.”
“This child!”
“Stand back. I’ll check it out again before starting the match.”
Terian, standing between the two, turned to Raon first.
“If you win, the entire shogun will become new scouts for three months. Am I right?”
“There is, and you have to take on all the scouts’ luggage and chores until they check the North Sea and return.”
“great. Then, Edquil.”
Terian’s gaze turned to Edquill this time.
“Yes.”
“If you win, the role of the porter, the previous master, disappears. Am I right?”
“Yeah, but I’m at a disadvantage.”
“What?”
“Give me another bet!”
“What do you want?”
Raon raised his chin and smiled.
“That dagger. If I win, hand the dagger to me.”
Edquill’s gaze, staring at the Requiem Sword, was stained with greed. Even in the midst of this, being greedy for things, he was a terrible human being.
“good night.”
The Requiem Sword cried, but it was reassured by stroking the scabbard.
‘Don’t worry. Even if I want to lose, I can’t.’
Through the appearance of fighting the trolls, he grasped the flow of the swordsmanship that Edquill used. He was definitely strong, but he didn’t feel like he was losing.
-To be caught as a prize for a bet, it’s a perfect fit for a small thing.
Lars giggled as he teased the Requiem Sword, but was unaware that his flower bracelet wasn’t even getting any attention.
“I mean. I’ve never had my original powers.”
Red energy was burning steadily over Edquill’s shoulder. Perhaps it was true that he had never used his powers, so much stronger energy than when he was dealing with the trolls was blazing and soaring.
“Hey, I’m proud.”
Raon clicked his tongue like he was pathetic.
“Killing is forbidden. Then the battle begins!”
Terian stepped back, announcing the start of the match.
“Aaah!”
Edquill ran towards him with a scream that was similar to that of a troll. He slashed the sword with a huge aura as it was.
Quang!
Even though I blocked it accurately, the blade wobbled. Contrary to his humble personality, he was a well-honed sword.
“Don’t do anything and make the floor crawl!”
The guy swung his sword, shooting out intense pressure as if he would not miss the victory he had captured. The extreme wind pressure and shock wave was enough to tear the winter clothes and armor.
“Are you looking for scouts? Becoming a scout? People without talent like that are everywhere. What do they care so much about!”
The youthful energy of Edquill’s blade grows deeper and deeper. The strands of swords gathered to form a thick line. It was the highest level of swordsmanship, a swordsman.
bang! Quang!
Whenever the sword and the sword collide, the shock is transmitted to the bones. It was a powerful sword attack, but Raon’s eyes that blocked it gradually subsided more and more calmly.
“When I came to Habun Castle, I expected two things.”
Raon twisted his lips as he endured the pouring sword attack.
“The first was the belief that I could become stronger through a grueling battlefield, and the second was trust.”
“trust?”
A small light shone in the eyes of everyone who was watching Dalian at the word trust.
“I expected the humans inside to unite with trust and faith in order to face the strong enemy outside.”
Because that’s something I’ve never experienced. I came here with a future that seems to be reached after more time has passed.
“But it wasn’t. You argued for status, discussed power, and divided the ranks. Even the temporary mercenaries saw the person themselves, but you regarded your comrades as servants.”
Raon’s sword blew out the sword’s name, like the howl of a beast.
“Did I ask why you care about scouts? I wasn’t for the scouts, I was just thinking of people.”
The collar of the light sword was loosened, and a vicious force covered the space.
“The price for breaking my expectations will be high.”
* * *
“The price is crazy!”
Edquil sharpened his teeth. I don’t know what kind of crazy person is going through such trouble. But the fight has already begun. must win unconditionally.
‘You can break it!’
As expected, when he put down the dagger that spilled the yogi, Raon’s power was significantly reduced.
If it is the Kator swordsmanship that I have learned all my life, I can break through that strong defense and bring him to his knees.
“Aww!”
Edquil unfolded the second half of Kator’s swordsmanship, five herbivores in succession. The silver blade ripped through the cold air and drove Raon.
bang! Quang!
Raon came forward even though he received a powerful sword attack. Instead of defending, he held up his sword as if he was about to attack.
“Now it’s my turn.”
Raon’s sword surged wildly, revealing his eyes. Red eyes like the moon in the sky. Goosebumps rose at the eerie light that didn’t waver at all.
“profit!”
Edquil slashed the sword he was holding tightly in an oblique angle. It was the sixth herbivore with the power to break the opponent’s sword.
Whoo!
Raon’s wrist rotated as the terrifying force contained in the blade was about to engulf the space. His sword flashed like a beam of light and struck his sword face.
Whoa!
The blade swayed as if it were about to bend, and Edquill was pushed to the right. The auror, which contained power, suddenly disappeared.
“Ouch, you bastard! Just what!”
Edquill’s beard trembled.
“A strong sword that twists the trajectory.”
Raon looked down at himself with cold eyes.
“I have grasped all of your swordsmanship.”
“Girl!”
Edquil screamed and charged. He stretched out his continuous Kator swordsmanship 7, 8, and 9 without even breathing.
Raon’s hand sprinted wildly as he aimed at Raon’s neck with a sword that vibrated in the air.
Whoa!
The sword strike that rotated like a sawtooth bounced off once again.
“Uh, how… .”
Edquill swallowed dry saliva. His aura was stronger and faster, but he couldn’t believe he was pushed back.
“It does not make sense! It doesn’t make sense!”
I stomped my foot and squashed it to Raon’s right side. Aiming at his chest, he raised his sword from the bottom up and drew it. It was the fastest speed 10 herbivore.
But this time, the sword strike was broken before it even touched Raon’s body. and.
Oops!
There was a dizzying pain in the lower back along with the sound of a ball popping.
“Shut up!”
Edquill grabbed his side and staggered back.
“What, what!”
“You said it was my turn.”
Raon smiled softly and swung his sword.
“Take care of yourself from now on.”
He kicked the ground and ran like a wolf.
“Ugh!”
He struck down the 11th Kator swordsmanship at Raon, who was approaching in front. A strong sword that made even rocks into powder swept the air.
Wow!
Even in front of the swordsman he saw for the first time, he proceeded without panicking. Without even a frame, his sword was pushed out without mercy by the sword he swung like a raw one.
Zeng! blah blah!
He didn’t miss the chance he had, and he fired a fierce sword attack like a beast. I couldn’t breathe in the red aura pouring down like rain.
“Big!”
He clenched his teeth and tried to hold on with all his might, but his sword attack only aimed at weak spots. He was like a ghost.
Whoa!
Eventually, the knife was pushed out, and Raon came up and punched him in the stomach.
Oops!
Edquill’s body was bent at right angles, and his eyes widened as if they were about to pop out.
“Shut up!”
“It’s not over yet.”
Raon fired his sword at Edquil, who had not yet taken a stance.
“Ugh!”
Edquil retreated in a hurry and took a defensive stance, but Raon’s sword was not something that could be stopped by a clumsy defense.
bang! Quang! Aww!
Edquil, which fluttered like a piece of paper, rolled over the floor.
“Yes, you are… Ugh!”
He barely stood up, but the swordsmanship, which became more radical than a while ago, was rushing in. It felt like I was alone in a sandstorm.
“Aww!”
A scream that he had been holding back escaped from Edquall’s mouth.
‘What is this bastard really?’
It must have been true that he had grasped swordsmanship, so all the herbivores of Kator’s swordsmanship were destroyed. It was like having a nightmare.
Tick!
In a moment of thought, the sword twisted, and Raon’s sword pierced through the gap like a snake.
Whoa!
An insane pain came over my left thigh. I don’t think my bones were broken, but I couldn’t understand how this pain came from.
“Ahhh… .”
Edquil pulled back his immovable legs. However, Raon was not willing to let go, so he caught up with him like a shadow and cut his sword down.
blah blah!
Every time the gnome and the sword collide, my heart tightens. His teeth trembled in fear more than pain. I wanted to quit, but there were too many caught and watching.
“Ahhh!”
Edquill exploded Auror, and held the sword with both hands. He raised all his energy and lowered the sword that pierced the sky. It was the last herbivorous moon smashing of Kator’s swordsmanship.
Whoa!
A red line is drawn over Raon’s blade. The line that had been twisted like a skein of thread unfolded in an instant, emitting a red light like the sunset.
damn!
The moment he faced the intense light, the moon shattering subsided and the blade shattered.
“Ouch!”
His grip was torn and the flying sword was thrown into the frozen ground.
“ah… .”
Edquill shook his chin and looked ahead. Raon, who had not changed in the first place, stood there.
“My, I lost… Suck!”
Raon covered his mouth as he was about to say defeat.
“There is no way to know what other people are thinking inside. However… .”
He took a step closer and smiled coldly.
“You have to take responsibility from the moment you put those words out of your mouth. Even as a newcomer, it was not for me as a newcomer to make remarks that disregard a colleague who risked their lives and fought with them.”
“for a moment! I lost… Cuckoo!”
With Raon’s clenched fist, Edquill slapped him in the face.
With the sound of rocks breaking, Edquill’s teeth popped out like corn. He turned his head blankly with his eyes wide open and then turned back.
Raon took a sword that emitted a cold light and went to the front of the shogunate.
“If you have any complaints, please accept them. Come out now.”
At the chilling words that looked like ice passing over their shoulders, the shogun trembled.
Their gazes were fixed on Edquil, blood dripping from his mouth, and of course no one came forward.
– It’s like the future the king saw.
Lars looked at Edquill, who had lost his mind, and grinned.
* * *
Raon woke up Edquil. He came to his senses quickly, but, overwhelmed by pain and fear, he couldn’t even look where he was.
He seemed to have been shocked by the fact that he smashed the strong sword with the ghoul sword and slashed the sword and the auror with the swordsman’s swordsmanship.
“Commander.”
Leaving behind the trembling Edquill, he approached Therian.
“Oh yeah.”
Terian’s eyes, who turned his head, were shaking violently as if he didn’t know that he would win this one-sidedly.
“Are you really okay?”
“Bet is bet. of course you should keep If there are people who ruin the atmosphere inside like that, the discipline will go down. Don’t worry, Habun Castle won’t be ruined if the sniper squad becomes a scout.”
“All right.”
“Listen.”
Terian went up to the makeshift dance floor and caught everyone’s attention.
“Dalian ended with Raon’s victory. As promised, from now on, we will demote the sniper squad to the position of recruits for the scouting squad. Everyone agrees to this, so there will be no complaints, right?”
The shogun looked dissatisfied, but when Raon opened his eyes, they all turned their heads.
“Oh, then it’s our juniors! Right?”
Dorian smiled and stood up. Approaching the melancholy sniper, they pulled out all their belongings and the scouts’ luggage from their boat pockets and held them out.
“It is a burden you will have to carry in the future. juniors.”
“Ugh… .”
“shit!”
The sedition team saw the load piled up in front of them and grinded their teeth.
“Oh, one more.”
Dorian giggled and pulled out four elongated logs from his belly pocket.
“Hey, what is this?”
“log?”
“Sat, why are the logs coming out of there?”

Not only the sniper squad, but everyone in this place opened their eyes when they saw the log.
“A log is something everyone carries for a raft or building a house.”
Dorian shrugged.
‘no. I don’t carry it.’
Raon shook his head involuntarily.
“Well, anyway.”
Dorian’s eyes narrowed coldly, a rare occurrence.
“Bring it along, juniors. If my tree gets scratched, I am prepared to die.”
He gave back exactly what the sniper had said to the scouts, and returned with a refreshing expression.
“Oh, cool!”
“You look good.”
“Good. This is also tolerable. Because I was originally trying to get the rock out.”
Dorian mumbled that I looked after him and snorted.
‘Are there rocks?’
– Do you have rocks?
