9th Class Sword Master: The Guardian of the Sword Chapter 43

Episode 43

Episode 22. Visiting the Witch of the Golden Tower (3)

Jeka was dumbfounded when two unpleasant names, Rollmandy and Heize, popped up out of nowhere.

It was clear that any further discussion would only lead to exhaustion. Kagor was still pointing at Zecca with the blade of his spear.

“No no. Think whatever you like.”

Kagor tried to say something more to Zecca, but Marlon blocked his way.

“Kagor-senpai, what’s wrong? Boss guest.”

“I meant to try sparring, but he doesn’t understand.”

Kagor was sarcastic and continued to scratch Jeka’s nerves. It was fortunate that Hugo had suppressed Zecca’s demonic energy.

“Dalian with me later. And it’s not Rolmandy.”

Marlon couldn’t figure out why Kagor was arguing with Jeka so much.

He had heard that Kagor hated Rollmandy while working as a mercenary together, but this was too much.

More than anything, Marlon was getting displeased. Yuma and Zecca were also his guests.

Kagor gnawed his molars and spat.

“You’ve grown up a lot, Marlon.”

“Senior should be taller. It’s not even kids, why are you arguing with customers?”

Tension was high between Marlon and Kagor.

One is the senior acting leader, and the other is the new acting leader designated by the boss as the successor.

One cause was Malone.

Among the tough men of Matan, the Black Wolf was the place where only particularly strong people gathered. Men who are full of desire to show off their skills anytime.

In the Black Wolves, when there was a quarrel like this, everything was decided by force. That was the wolf’s way.

That meant that if either Marlon or Kagor drew their weapon first, sparring would begin.

Then someone intervened.

“right. malone horse. Quit it. It was Kagor Yugire.

He was walking around the Black Wolf Headquarters to ask how Yuma, whom he hadn’t seen in a while, was doing well.

That’s why I saw all the scenes where Kagor first started arguing with Zecca for no particular reason.

Kagor calmed his excitement and turned around.

“Kagor! What you said the other day, I gave to the Rollmandy family. Show I’m Rollmandy.”

Yuma shouted behind Kagor. It was a voice telling me to come up.

Kagor paused for a moment, then moved on again.

“I’ll see you all later. You can’t fight and kill it, that’s it.”

“Kagor. Rollmandy. I hate it. instead. apologize.”

Yugyr said, shaking Zekka’s hand with a big hand.

Jeka looked up at Yugir and said, ‘I’m not Rolmandi!’ I wanted to shout again, but I felt the energy radiating from the giant and meekly accepted the apology.

‘There are many monsters in the Black Wolf. Maybe if I stay here for a few months, my seizures will naturally get better.’

Yugire smiled with a friendly face and patted Zecca on the shoulder.

“Yuma. How are you? nice to meet.”

“Thanks to you, I had a good time.”

“A good sword. good skill. admiration. Duran. meet and see want. me too.”

Yugir said while looking at Ascalon hanging from Yuma’s waist.

“I think Master will like it when he sees Yugire. Maybe someday we’ll see each other.”

Compared to his skills, Yugire was an absurdly little known person.

The two talked briefly about their current situation.

“A good sword? What is your sword?”

When Yugir returned, Marlon asked Yuma. Even after seeing his own sword given to him by Hugo, Yugir never said ‘good sword’.

“Ascalon.”

“Is that your name?”

“huh. I heard it’s a sword with a history of killing two dragons? Selukase.”

“Is it real Serucian steel?”

“Then is it fake?”

Marlon looked at Ascalon hanging from Yuma’s waist with the same bright eyes as when he saw Mero in the past.

“Can’t you swing me just once…?”

It was a glimmer of light that could not be refused, no, even brilliant.

Yuma pulled the Ascalon from her waistband and handed it to Marlon. Marlon politely accepted the Ascalon with both hands.

“Oh ah … crazy … Where did this come from?”

Marlon examined Ascalon carefully, as if touching porcelain.

Even up close, it was a perfect sword with not a single trace missing. The surface of the blade so clear that the face can be seen through and the perfect balance of grip.

Truly a sword among swords.

Marlon held the Ascalon with a face that he would not regret even if he died soon, and slowly adjusted his posture.

“Master gave it to you.”

why! Why would you give me something like this!?”

“I just gave it to you. Before becoming a disciple.”

Marlon found the names of Yuma and Duran engraved on the lower part of the blade.

“Why doesn’t our boss have a sword like this?”

“You probably have it.”

“Then why don’t I give it to you?”

“The sword you have is also a famous sword. It’s Orihalcon.”

Yuma knew that Marlon’s sword was made by Orihalcon without even bothering to pull it out.

Orichalcon was one of the best minerals, though slightly inferior to Serukaze Steel.

It was an ancient mineral that could not be obtained anymore and was also the material of the White Dragon, Yuma’s armor.

“Would you like to exchange it for my sword?”

“Crazy. wish you wish Even famous swords have a class.”

Yuma snatched Ascalon from Marlon and put it in the scabbard.

Even before returning, Marlon could only become the owner of Ascalon after Damian died in the Dragon Horse War.

‘Should I get a Starbuster someday…

The Starbuster was Duran’s great sword and his favorite sword when he conquered the kingdom of Ahmad.

It wasn’t made of Selukasan steel, but the Starbuster was a sword carved from the bones of a demon dragon that the Zach family had kept for generations only for Duran.

The next day, the group brought dry food and greeted Hugo.

“I’ll be back, boss.”

Marlon waved his Orichalcon sword exceptionally and looked at Hugo.

Hugo radiated eyes as if he wasn’t interested and defeated Zecca’s magic.

Remembering the shock of the last night, Zecca barely endured a seizure. It was possible because there was an existence far more terrifying than the demon dwelling inside the body.

“For a while, what is in your body will be quiet. If you use one force, you will wake up soon.”

“I will keep that in mind!”

“Thank you again for your hospitality, Mr. Hugo. I want to fill the seat next to you.”

“Go cheater.”

“Shall we say hello to the Witch of the Golden Tower?”

“She doesn’t like me.”

* * * We had to take a boat to Inzbikan.

After a few days of driving around the Egon Mountains, the group traveled by wagon to Port Ratts.

“Are you going to Inz Bikan? Our boat doesn’t. These days, there is probably no boat to go there because it is the time to fish for lots of eels.”

It wasn’t a trading port, and as the fisherman said, it wasn’t easy to find a boat because it was a lotz eel fishing machine.

This time, he wasn’t even dealing with stowaways, so Yuma couldn’t let go of his threats by swinging his fists recklessly.

Above all, this was the Matan land that Hugo guarded.

“ah! I’m going to catch some kind of eel, I’m going crazy.”

Marlon was annoyed when they couldn’t find a boat for more than a few hours.

“It’s just annoying for us, but it’s a job for fishermen. One day you’ll take over Mr. Hugo’s place, so don’t think like that. “What kind of king am I?”

“You are so stupid.

Hugo-sama’s influence is stronger than the King of Magic. You will too.

As long as you take care of Kagor and build up a little bit of culture.”

“ah! But why is the boss only a black wolf and not a king?”

“That is my question too.”

It was definitely questionable.

Hugo, Duran, or some superhumans who left their names in history certainly had the power to become kings as much as they wanted.

Even so, most of them stayed quiet.

It’s not that there’s a lack of cause, and it’s not that all of those superhumans weren’t without ambition. Yuma was also a difficult area to fully understand.

‘Well, if you look at the superhumans I’ve been through, it seems that the structure of the head is very different from that of ordinary people.

Heize seems like a typical villain.’

The party went around Ratts Port, buying grilled eels on skewers.

Marlon, who was tired of the texture of dry food, immediately felt better as soon as he ate a few eels on the stall.

Jeka also felt refreshed for the first time in a long time while eating Lot’s traditional liquor and grilled eel skewers. It had been a long time since I wasn’t worried about having a seizure.

“Where are you going?”

While wandering around for a while, an old man asked the group.

When the group turned around, the old man took off his straw hat and waved. He had a wrinkled face and a few front teeth.

The sea breeze blew through the old man’s baggy shirt. The shivering old man looked as ugly as a rat in the rain.

I had to go by boat for a week to Inz Bikan. No matter how much they don’t have a boat, Marlon and Zecca thought they couldn’t ride that old man’s boat.

“I’m going to Innz Bikan.”

Then Yuma approached the old man and said in a polite voice. Naturally, honorifics came out.

“Because it’s Inz Bikan… He’s going a long way. Would you like to go on my boat?”

The old man pointed with a trembling finger to his boat, which was moored in the harbor.

At a glance, it was an old small fishing boat that seemed to be able to survive the rough waves by staying afloat for several days.

The anchor swayed dangerously, ready to break in a strong wind, and the hull was hard to find without scratches.

‘Hey, this isn’t it. If you get on that, you will drown and die. Even if it means our lives, we cannot lose Ascalon by drowning it in the sea.’

‘sympathy. what boat is that? It’s a rag. A pair of slightly larger wooden mop.’

Marlon and Zecca whispered on both sides of Yuma.

From anyone’s point of view, it was a ship that seemed unreasonable to go to Innz Bikan.

“How much will it be?”

“Four or five pieces of silver, please.”

“great.”

“Are you leaving right away?”

“hey! hey! Wait a minute old man. Wait. Is this a boat that can take you to Innz Bikan? The elders seem to be overdoing it… We’ll look for other boats, so why don’t we catch some eels?”

Marlon intervened and stopped Yuma and the old man.

“I’m tired of catching eels…

the old man said in a calm voice. For some reason, Yuma kept looking at the old man.

“Let’s go right away, sir.”

Yuma took out ten silver coins from his pocket and handed them to the old man.

“Hehe, I only need this much.

Come on, let’s get on.”

The old man took only three silver coins from Yuma’s palm.
