Sophie, Eloah, and Doyun. In this way, the three of us got on the carriage to the home of Busker.
Doyoon decided to take Sophie with him as well. After Heineken, this is the second meeting with the strongest man of this era called the Hero. You should give as many insights as possible.
Before getting on the carriage, Sophie said to Do-yoon.
“Wouldn’t it be nice to bring a present…?”
“A gift?”
“yes. You are a warrior. Or, uh… am I too nervous…?”
Doyoon thought for a moment. Well, I gave Eloa a present too.
‘Should I bring a gold coin?’
However, Brudet was not in a position to run a guild like Eloa. The gold coins were not in good shape.
Doyoon pondered for a while, then nodded as he recalled the gift.
“Don’t worry about the gift. Eloah took care of everything.”
“Ah, I’m glad…!”
The two even got into the carriage.
Brudet is also a guy who walks the path of the sword like Busker. For that child, helping him improve his realm would be the greatest gift.
‘I must have been very diligent.’
The main focus of the 18th round of the busker ceremony is the realization of the sword. However, Brudet was not yet at the level to understand the sword while he was alive.
When Brudet had accumulated enough skills, neither Busker nor Do-yoon were people of the world anymore. There was no one to teach him the sword.
That said, it would be impossible for him to realize this alone even after 100 years.
‘In my phone call with Eloa, I said that I’m facing a wall recently.’
Brudet. A truly polite child who was like a nephew to Enoch.
Do-yoon looked out the window as he ran with anticipation at the thought of giving him a gift.

As if there was a message, when we arrived at the Busker home, the guard politely opened the door.
“Please wait a moment. I will serve the warrior and serve tea and refreshments.”
“yes.”
The four who were guided to the reception room waited there.
Doyoon looked around the room.
‘It’s the same.’
To Do-yoon, this mansion, this room, was a familiar place. The house is only neatly repaired so as not to be damaged, and even after 100 years, the atmosphere and interior are the same as Busker’s life.
Do-yun felt proud of his nephew’s attitude towards his father, and enjoyed the traces and nostalgia of a close friend he hadn’t seen in a long time.
Soon the door opened, and a man in white clothes entered the room with a gentle smile.
“Welcome, everyone.”
A Skeletonian warrior and disciple of Sword Emperor Busker. It was Brude.
‘Well…’
Seeing him, Doyoon sighed.
In front of Do-yoon’s eyes, a tall, handsome young man was gone, and a middle-aged gentleman with a beard, neat and heavy, stood there.
It was said that he stopped growing old around the time he turned 50, and it was exactly the same.
‘You’ve worked hard.’
And just like his appearance, his temperament was different.
In the past, if he was a young swordsman who could see the blood that was pressed hard for training, now he was truly a master of the sword, with sharp energy and sharp eyes.
Brudet shook hands with Sophie first, examining her skills.
‘excellent. Even though I just graduated from the cradle, it’s like this…’
His eyes sank deeply as he studied Sophie.
‘I heard they brought a boss monster killer… is this the wife?’
A brief handshake passes by.
‘No, it wasn’t the hand that used the sword.’
Brudette and Doyoon held hands.
“…!”
“I am Han Do-yoon.”
At that moment, Doyoon felt the muscles of Brudet’s hand reflexively move through his palm.
A technique that detects the target’s minute movements, state, psychology, and breath, one by one, as if the sword face facing the opponent is used as a mirror.
Buske’s style swordsmanship. It was a sword.
‘Have you come to know how to do it with your hands now?’
Doyoon felt proud again.
However, unlike Doyoon, Brudet stood still in shock and was unable to speak.
“Han… Do-yoon?”
“yes.”
Brudette slowly turned her head to look at Elloa behind Sophie.
She couldn’t hold back her mischievous laugh and twitched her eyes as she looked at the surprised Brudet.
Brudet examined Doyoon from head to toe again.
“…I heard it would surprise me a lot…”
She was right. I was very surprised.
Sophie looked at the two men holding hands and holding on to each other.
She was also a warrior, so she recognized Mr. Doyun’s skills, and admired it inwardly.
A moment of silence passed, and Brudet smiled at Doyoon.
“this. The greeting is too long. Excuse me.”
“it’s okay.”
They released the power they held in their hands.
But suddenly, Doyoon’s mischief kicked in.
‘…Let’s surprise him one more time.’
The moment when the palms of your hands rub against each other and slip away.
Doyun also used the sword through the palm of his hand, just as Brudet had done.
“…!”
Until now, Brudet had been maintaining a soft smile with only his eyes shaking, but this time his expression completely hardened.
Doyoon raised his hand and lowered his gaze. Brudet’s left hand was already holding onto the handle of the sword at his waist, and had stopped while drawing.
‘The response has also improved.’
The sword body, protruding as much as a fingertip, gave off a bloody luster. It was an angle invisible to Sophie.
Still, he didn’t do anything to wield a sword. Originally, he would have cut off Do-yoon’s limbs with a reflexive sword strike and then went into interrogation, but Brudet believed Elroa. There was no way the current situation would harm him.
“why…”
Brudet looked at Elloa again with a stunned face.
“Kuh, turn it off…”
She held her stomach and bowed her head, forgetting to hold back a laugh in front of Sophie.
When Brudette saw this, she let out a dumbfounded laugh, and Sophie, who did not understand the situation, looked at the two in bewilderment.
After a few incidents like that, the five sat across from each other and talked.
“I have heard many stories. In the world, it was the hidden sword of the World Tree that prevented the previous attack, but those who knew Skeletonia would have known that it was the boss monster killer.”
“yes. you’re right.”
“I didn’t fully believe it. It is said to be inside the Holy Stone, but an apostle who has just graduated from the cradle is dealing with 18 imps of Satan. No matter how much you say you’re a boss monster killer, it doesn’t make sense.”
Doyoon sipped tea while listening to the story.
“…but after meeting him in person, I changed my mind. Even if you see it with your own eyes, you can’t believe it’s a cadet’s ability.”
“It’s an overstatement.”
While drinking tea, Brudet did not take her eyes off Doyoon, who answered calmly.
From the first time we met until now. The sense of deja vu he felt from Doyoon continued to grow in size.
‘It looks like…’
The atmosphere is very similar to that of him 100 years ago. The ghost was supposed to sing.
Brudet continued to look at Elloa asking for an explanation. But she just shrugged her shoulders and twitched her eyes. Apparently, he was enjoying his current situation.
Brudet sighed inwardly at Elroa’s mischief.
“By the way…”
He had no choice but to calm his eyes and speak directly to Doyoon.
“How did that just happen?”
It was referring to the speculum that Doyoon used.
Doyoon took a sip of tea and put down the cup. And he winked at Eloah.
Receiving the signal, Eloah sent a telephony to Brudet so that Sophie could not hear. Brudet heard this and tilted her head, but remained silent for the time being.
Eloah looked at Sophie and Doyoon and said.
“Brudette and I have something to talk about, could you please leave the table for a moment?”
“Ah yes! Sure. Speak slowly!”
Sophie quickly put her glass down and answered politely.
“Then where do we go…”
Brudet grinned.
“I can’t even have customers stand in the hallway… You two said that swordsmanship and martial arts are your main strengths, right? Fortunately, our team members using swordsmanship and martial arts are here. Would you like to talk to them?”
At those words, Sophie’s eyes lit up.
Brudet’s invitation just now was clearly a retelling of the teachings. The opportunity to learn a lesson from the strongest of the warrior team was a rare fortune.
Sophie answered, slightly recalled.
“may I?”
“Yes, of course.”
Brudet rang the small bell provided in the room, and soon the maid opened the door and entered.
“Call Leon and Beth.”
Brudet sent a telegram to the lady-in-waiting at the same time as the order.
Doyoon eavesdropped on this through his 7th sense. Since Bess was done, he was saying that only Leon should be called. It seems that the person named Beth is a swordsman, and the person named Leon is a fighter.
“Yes, I understand.”
Soon after the maid stepped away, a member of the hero team named Leon came and took Sophie out.
And there were only three of them left in the room.
“Oh really. I was scolded for holding back my laughter.”
Elroa relaxed her tidy posture and leaned her back on the sofa.
Seeing this, Brudet felt a sense of wonder. Has Eloah already changed the personality he saw in Apostle Han Do-yoon? It wouldn’t have even been a week since I recruited. It was unexpected.
“Now, will you explain?”
Brudet looked at Doyoon and Elroa with her upper body forward and her hands in her hands.
Eloah grinned and touched Doyoon’s arm with her finger, wondering what she was expecting so much from earlier.
“Well…”
Doyoon pondered for a moment on what to say. But soon after seeing the sword at Brudet’s waist, he opened his mouth.
“Just… without long words, would you like to compete?”
“yes?”
At the bold request, Brudette widened her eyes.
