Episode 63. Silence
fell in the luxurious room strewn with crashed corpses.
When I received the question, I thought about how to answer this so that I could pass it safely.
“Why no answer?”
I have no patience.
In the end, I said anything.
“I don’t even know the name. It’s just an ordinary sword inherited from my father.”
“That sword. I will buy it.”
ha. It’s the worst.
Needless to say, I had no intention of selling Galaksur.
However, I couldn’t tell Hosan to quit.
‘Jones like a dog.’
If it wasn’t for this bastard, he would have just packed the booklet and left.
I deliberately covered the scabbard with a cloth, but it was because I pulled out the sword while fighting.
“Why haven’t you answered me since before?”
live?
no. It was a feeling of pressure that was closer to coercion than to live.
Such a strange aura mixed with mana was emitted, and cold sweat made his back wet.
‘Can I run away?’
No matter how strong he is, he is not all-powerful.
If I could buy time and run away, even for a moment, I could take off the mask and change clothes to avoid it.
‘The question is whether I can buy time for that.’
More than that, Hosan opened his mouth before pulling out his sword.
“I’m really sorry, but I can’t sell it because it’s my father’s keepsake. Please forgive me.”
“Are keepsakes more valuable than life?”
Now they’re blatantly intimidating.
Well, he’s the guy who killed Jones for being noisy. Is there anything to be afraid of?
In the end, I swallowed my anger and decided to hand over Galaksur.
No matter how precious an item was, it was not more precious than life.
‘Named class swords are widely spread. I’ll just have to find something else.’
Of course, most of the widespread named-level swords are only in dangerous dungeons or demonic realms where I can live or die even if I go.
In fact, there is a save load in the game, so even if you fail to clear a dungeon, you just have to try again.
But right now I’m walking a tightrope with only one life, so the Galaksur I got by chance was such a waste.
“I will sell it.”
In the end, the meaning of surrender came out of my mouth, and Hosan nodded as if it were natural.
“I said it was a keepsake, so I’ll give you 10 million Will.”
“yes?”
In an instant, a question filled with absurdity popped up without my knowledge.
I hurriedly shut my mouth, but I’m not joking right now. Only 10 million of the named-class sword, Galaksur?
10 million was cheaper than entrusting Griezman to make a custom order once.
“Is it dissatisfaction?”
“no.”
okay. Where is 10 million than taking it by force?
But now, more than ever, my insides were filled with rage.
Because of the absurdity he suffered directly, it was almost comparable to the anger directed at the emperor.
‘I will definitely get stronger and recover from Galaksur.’
I tried to calm myself down and got up from my seat.
It was time to hand Galaksur to Hosan.
“Go up! Go up quickly!”
A tumultuous noise was heard from below, and men with weapons came pouring in.
Apparently, the women who had fled a little while ago brought the news downstairs.
“Mr. Jones!”
“You bastard! Did you kill him!”
Those who came up pointed their weapons at me and said.
In a complicated situation, Hosan spoke first.
“I killed it. I’m making a fuss over something trivial.”
ha.
He was really like a villain who acted his own way.
Thanks to that, Jones’ subordinates who came upstairs looked bewildered and alternately looked at me and Hosan, and soon revealed that they were living.
“Kill them both!”
Those who came up were diverse.
There were wizards, swordsmen and spearmen, as well as weapons that were hard to find.
“The bugs are crazy because they want to die.”
Hosan swung his sword.
Brown mana wrapped around the sword, and bundles of sword energy blew like a sword wind.
Furbuck!
Puhwaak.
“Oops.”
“Ouch.”
Three or four died in a single day, but Jones’s men persevered.
Since they were shadowy figures in the first place, they did not bend easily unless the opponent was an Aura Master.
Perong! Fire.
Whiik – Kwaaang!
All kinds of magic came flying and arrows and memorization poured out.
They seemed to see Hosan as the most dangerous person, so they were more interested in him than me.
‘More than that… ….’
The magic that Hosan had avoided landed on the floor.
The destructive force made the whole building shake.
Soon after, small incontinence began to go to the floor where we were standing.
Kwajik.
little sound.
But the sound soon turned into a huge roar.
Koo-woong!
Quadruped!
The floor started to collapse.
The situation worsened as I felt my body fall.
‘No. Rather, now is the opportunity.’
Quarre!
As soon as I tried to pick up the body that had fallen below, I heard a shout.
“Don’t rest, attack!”
The floor collapsed, and countless lives were detected in the midst of unconsciousness.
I quickly backed away and avoided the attack, but the types of attacks were too diverse.
Roaring! pop!
Whiik – Pak!
Not only swords and spears were stamped at the place where I was, but all sorts of magic and arrow throwing weapons flew.
Even though I avoided it, there were wounds here and there.
Having raised my fighting talent to the fullest, I tried to avoid the rest of the attacks and escape the tumultuous hall with only my senses.
At that time, dust rose, and in the middle of the ruins of the building, where nothing could be seen, I felt a tremendous energy of mana.
‘danger!’
I instinctively leaned back.
Pan-!
The sound of the air exploding resounded, and soon I felt the black air made of mana pass over my body as I leaned back.
Falling backwards, I only raised my head and looked at the situation ahead.
‘Crazy man. really.’
There, Hosan, the Sword Demon, was holding a sword wrapped in brown mana in one hand, looking at the lucky survivors.
Well done anyway.
I had to run away at this opportunity.
Fortunately, Hosan was paying attention to those who attacked him, and the enemies also focused on Hosan, not me.
I killed as much as I could and got out of the wreckage of the collapsed building and headed outside.
‘I have to get out of the entertainment district first. After that, I’ll go there and take care of it.’
When I came out to the red light district street, I could feel that everyone in the red light district was looking at the building of the auction house where the commotion had taken place.
I moved to squeeze through their gaps and get away from Hosan as much as possible.
Even in the middle of it, I checked the booklet tucked into my arms.
Fortunately, the booklet was intact, with no flaws anywhere.
[The Grave of the Red Dragon Kriebmaher]
‘The Grave of the Dragon?’
When I was taking it, it was marked as an item that I could not check due to Jones’ call, but now it is not a dragon rare, but a dragon’s tomb.
Unusually, unlike dragons in other media, the dragons in this game did not die in a rare setting, but instead died in a place they had chosen.
And most of those places were places where people couldn’t reach.
‘And before I die, I destroy my rare and go to die. That’s why rare is rare.’
It was a hard place to find, either in the tomb or in the rare.
However, if I had to ask, I had no choice but to prefer rare.
Occasionally, dragons that died in an accident or incident of injustice died without getting rid of the rare, and expensive treasures were hidden in the rare found.
‘wait for a sec. That’s not the point.’
Dragon’s Grave?
If so, that means there is a dragon’s corpse there.
what if it’s a corpse?
‘Necromancer.’
crazy it’s crazy.
I had to survive and investigate this place.
Just imagining this dragon made me drool.
Having succeeded in escaping the entertainment district, I returned to the room I had rented before going to the entertainment district, took off my mask, changed my clothes, and packed my things.
Just in case, Galaksur also put it in his expansion bag and wore the 3 million wil sword he bought at the blacksmith’s waist.
‘Somehow the crisis passed.’
It was still too early to be careless.
First of all, I had to get on the train and leave Muriel.
I was able to board the train back to the capital, observing the surroundings as much as possible.
I’m sure I should be relieved at this point, but my intuition was still sending out a sense of uneasiness.
‘what? I’m sure this would be fine… ….’
And my foreboding premonition came true.
thud!
Less than five minutes after boarding the train, there was a noise as if something had fallen from the ceiling of the car in front.
And I’ve already experienced what the cause of that noise is.
no way….
Didn’t you follow me?
Quagga each.
A sword burst out of the ceiling of the train car in front and made a hole.
And as soon as I saw it, I got up and ran to the back compartment.
‘I really didn’t expect this.’
He must have taken off the mask, changed his appearance, and changed the sword he was wearing, so he wouldn’t be able to recognize him.
Come to think of it, even in the game, they would always come crashing into us wherever we were.
At that time, I just thought that a random event had occurred without thinking, but now that I look at it, it is clear that I have a separate ability related to tracking.
Breaking love liquid-!
I turned my body to the side while running with the feeling that my hair was standing on end.
Then, a sharp energy from behind passed me by and shattered the last car of the train.
Kwa—ang!
“You crazy bastard.”
The sword demon is calm?
cancel that statement
It wasn’t called a villain for nothing.
Realizing that there was nowhere else to run, I threw myself from the end of the train, which had been pierced by Hosan’s attack.
I was able to land safely thanks to activating my body with mana, but the problem was after that.
“I didn’t mean to kill him if I just gave him the sword, but it turned out to be a pity.”
Hosan, who had followed him before he knew it, revealed his bleak life.
How the hell did you find me and follow me?
But now it was a pointless question.
‘I have no choice but to try desperately.’
Since I had already run away once, it was unlikely that Hosan without mercy would save me.
I slowly drew my sword.
Of course, the undead had to survive even if they used sloth.

The time when the sun went down and the night fell deep.
Diene had been perusing her favorite magazine for the first time in a while.
‘Monthly Shining Knights.’
Coincidentally, a new book came out this month, so I’ve been waiting for this time since morning.
It was her habit to enjoy her hobbies after finishing her daily routine.
This month’s magazine was full of articles about Louis Atman, a new student at Laudelen this year, as she expected.
‘It wasn’t bad.’
She also participated in the entrance ceremony because she was curious about the rumored junior.
As rumored, Lewis was a typical knight with an upright appearance.
Even his appearance was to her liking, and for a while, thinking about him made my head confuse.
‘No. But I have him.’
mask inspection.
Even though I don’t know the name or face, the memory of that day gave me an intensity that I will never forget for the rest of my life.
She hoped that the day they would meet again someday would come, but on the other hand, there was a contradiction in her heart that she wanted to remain like a child, leaving only mystery like this.
“hmm….”
I stopped imagining and continued reading the magazine.
As always, there were anecdotes of famous knights, small episodes, and poems of bards.
As I turned the page with a sense of regret in the magazine, which seemed to be coming to an end, I saw that there was something unexpected written on it.
‘The emergence of a powerful genius who will succeed the divinities of Monas who left for Laudelen?’
It was an article that seemed crude, but the name that followed behind it made me fall in love without knowing it.
‘A talent recommended by Adrias Cromwell, who made his name known as the Everlast Potion.’
Adrias recommended it?
The contents of the text said that a boy with genius talent was admitted to Monas Academy.
It was written that the talent was comparable to Louis Atman, but it was hard to admit that Adrias recommended such a talent, regardless of whether it was true.
‘no. Now I have to admit it.’
In the meantime, I had been ignoring him, but my perception changed from the last term evaluation.
Maybe I couldn’t throw away the thought that I should have thrown away because I was young.
Adrias. He was a good enough talent now.
Of course, compared to himself, he was pathetic so far, but I have to admit that he is not a man to be ignored.
When I saw the picture of Benjamin Anikius, who was said to be the person Adrias recommended, I tilted my head a little.
Just by looking at his appearance, he was a skinny boy who could hardly wield even a sword.
‘still….’
You look different than anyone else.
When I thought about it, I remembered that my opponent for the tournament on Monday was Adrias.
I forgot even the other person because there was no tension.
“I’ll ask when I see you.”
Benjamin Anikius. To be honest, I couldn’t help but wonder that he was compared to Lewis.
Besides, if it was the person Adrias recommended, he would have a good relationship with him.
Diene thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to take advantage of this opportunity to meet her once.
