Returned Lord Wants To Rest

Episode 14.

The high orc continued swinging his sword at me.

“Yumma, slow down!”

He was in a hurry to block the attack of the high orcs.

“Ayy!”

I put as much mana into the sword as I could and swung it.

Finally, the high orc fell away from me.

“Wow, what are you?”

The high orc’s swordsmanship was amazing. You could say it’s the swordsmanship I want.

“The slam is heavy, the thrust is fast, and all my attacks are thrown away.”

I just couldn’t figure out how to overcome it.

The high orc returned to his stance. It was a gesture to concede the first attack again.

“@$%@!”

“I guess I was pretty underestimated too?”

It shouldn’t be like this. The level is similar, so you just need to overcome the swordsmanship.

“I’m still making a tie, but… .”

Swordsmanship generally has no such thing as a one-time special move.

However, there was a special technique called Biggi.

“Wait a minute.”

A secret skill is usually made only after reaching the advanced level of Sword Expert. And my highest level before returning was the advanced sword expert.

First of all, the way to write a secret technique was complicated. The usual secret is that if you swing the sword while holding mana, the path will open.

And by putting the right will on the way, a secret skill that can be called a special move comes out.

“Whoa… .”

I took a deep breath and filled the sword with mana and swung it into the air. There is experience in making biggies. What I was doing now was making my secret swordsmanship.

The high orc, who had been waiting silently, noticed that mana was gradually gathering in me.

“It’s late, man.”

With the will to pierce unconditionally, I thrust my sword at the high orc running to stop me.

And once a storm passed.

“Ugh… .”

I felt pain in the palm that held the sword. The skin on the palms was peeling off. The sword he was holding was nowhere to be found.

“and… .”

The sword that had left my hand was embedded in the wall. That too, by making a big hole near the high orc’s heart.

I walked to the wall where the sword was stuck. The high oaks were getting blurry.

“@$%@!”

The orc looked at me and said something, but it was a language I couldn’t understand.

But judging from the nuance, it seemed like ‘It was a good match’.

“evil!”

He unconsciously touched the sword with the wounded hand and drew it with the opposite hand.

“It’s time for compensation.”

I saw two entrances. It was a space with an entrance to go down and a reward.

“What the hell is this?”

Before returning, it was a space where only goblins existed.

But there are two more. Except for goblins, orcs, and a new floor.

“First, the reward.”

When I entered the place where the reward was, there was a sword. It was a sword close to pitch black.

“stylish… .”

Admiration came out of nowhere. Once I pulled the sword out of the scabbard. The sword body was also jet black.

“Shall we swing it?”

He immediately shook his head. His hand was not in good condition to wield a sword.

“It’s a sword from the ruins, so it must be a magic sword, right?”

Even a sword enchanted with useless magic was fine. There was a suspicious-looking button at the end of the handle of the sword.

I wanted to give it a shot, but gave up for safety reasons.

“by the way… .”

I came out of the reward room and saw the entrance going down. Something was ominous. It gave me goosebumps.

“I’d rather not go there.”

My senses were talking. Don’t even think about going down to see what’s there.

“then!”

Now it was necessary to return to the dorms. I wrapped a bandage on my hand and left the ruins. And as soon as I arrived at the dormitory, I started meditating.

“It’s a monster thing, so it’s embarrassing, but.”

The high orcs handled great swordsmanship. Thinking of the duel with the high orc, he fell into meditation. Then, without realizing it, I fell asleep.

***

I realized right away that this was a dream. Because I didn’t have a body.

What I see now is the image of a man.

‘Uh, that one?’

The sword the man was holding was the jet-black sword he had received as a reward.

‘Then, is that man the one who created the ruins?’

The men were fighting. With something that can only be seen as darkness. The man got slower and slower. And I noticed a strange thing.

‘That guy’s swordsmanship… .’

It definitely resembled the swordsmanship used by the high orcs I dealt with.

The man fought something and turned his back and started to run away.

‘Dangerous!’

Something flew into the man’s back. And the man who got hit by something in the back fell into a glowing hole.

And I… .

***

Woke up. My whole body was wet with sweat.

“Is it just a dream?”

It was a vivid dream. It’s as if it’s mistaken for reality.

“It must be my delusion.”

As my curiosity about the ruins grew, I hoped it was a delusion I had created.

“however… .”

something was sad The man was fighting alone. I was fighting alone with what I assumed to be the darkness itself.

I don’t know why his sword is in the ruins. Does it mean that he fell into the hole of light but survived?

My head was complicated. I gripped the sword with the thought that I should swing it at least.

“uh?”

I unconsciously gripped the sword with my injured hand.

But I didn’t feel any pain. The scars on his hands had disappeared.

“It wasn’t a wound that healed overnight, was it?”

No matter how good my mana breathing was, I couldn’t heal this level of wounds overnight.

“I can’t.”

The more I thought about it, the more my head hurt. I needed to swing my sword quickly.

I hurriedly grabbed my sword and headed for the gymnasium.

However, at this time, he did not notice that the sword he had brought was a pitch-black sword.

It wasn’t until we arrived at the gymnasium that we realized that we had brought the wrong sword.

“Well, a real sword is better than a wooden sword.”

Since it was heavier than a wooden sword, it was good to wield it.

“Something won’t happen.”

I pulled out the jet-black sword.

seureung-

Even the sound coming out of the scabbard was clear and well maintained.

It was hard to believe that it was inside the ruins.

“It’s cool every time I see it.”

It was the first time in my life that even the sword body was jet-black. It must have been a rare metal.

“Sometime.”

I should try swinging it

I raised my sword above my head. and took it down

“what?”

I swung the sword with all my might, but a problem arose. Countless holes were pierced in the sword.

“what’s this.”

When I touched the pierced hole, a small thread came out. And following the thread, a black, sharp thing was stuck in the floor.

“hmm… .”

It seemed that something like a needle with a thread came out by swinging the sword. however… .

“How do I put this in?”

Once the needle was stuck in the ground, I tried to insert it according to the thread that came out, but it was not inserted at all.

In the meantime, I remembered that the jet-black sword had a button attached to it.

“If I press this, won’t it go back to normal?”

I carefully pressed the button.

Weiying-

Along with a strange sound, the sword vibrates. And the holes in the sword quickly returned to their original state.

It was amazing, but it was a big disappointment.

“How are you going to handle this?”

When you swing it, a needle with a thread comes out of the sword. Besides, it took time to get back to normal.

“Is it a trump card?”

It was clear that no one would have expected that the needle would go out when the sword was swung. This weapon will be able to induce the opponent’s vigilance.

“Isn’t there a way to handle this sword in the ruins?”

I thought about going again, but it was impossible.

“How can I go back to a place that looks so hideous?”

I didn’t intend to go to the ruins anymore. I didn’t want to go there unless I became a sword master.

It was not so easy to see the energy that emanated there.

If something goes wrong and I die.

“I won’t come back again.”

There was no need to gamble on uncertainty. Whatever it is, the goal of the life that came back is a life full of healing.

Anyway, I thought of the man in my dream.

“I used this sword.”

How to fight was blurry. I don’t know how the man used this sword.

But within me, I had a definition for the man.

“This man was a mean person.”

I felt sorry to see him fighting alone, but it wasn’t anymore.

He was fighting alone as he used a savage weapon like a jet-black sword.

“That’s why people have to fight honestly.”

The evaluation of the man in me has become a mean existence slightly above Jack.

***

The rest period is over. Suddenly, there was only a week left. That’s why I asked the Sword Saint.

“Sword Saint, I’m going to go on a trip during the rest of my sabbatical.”

“It’s good to travel. Then, let’s resume training after school starts.”

“thank you!”

I suffered so much in a short period of time, starting with admission to the academy and during the sabbatical. In this way, it was the same as the life before the return.

“What if I live this busy and die again?”

It’s unfair that I will never do it.

I need a break now. The place to travel has already been decided.

“I found it after a real search.”

It was one of the best travel destinations in the Loto Kingdom. Fortunately, it was two days from the capital. If you take four days round trip, you can rest for three days.

“The food is delicious, and the natural scenery is also great.”

I packed my bags with high expectations.

smart.

“who are you?”

“I am Moredt.”

“You can come in!”

When Moredt asked why he was packing, he replied that he was going on a trip.

“You’re going on a trip, where are you going?”

“You know? Febris Village.”

“Ah, there… .”

Of course, Moredt would know. It was a place belonging to the Duchy of Faust.

“It’s nice there.”

“It’s good, right?”

“It’s a bit overpriced.”

I don’t have to worry about money.

“Moredt, don’t you know how rich I am?”

In fact, if you compare it to the rich, it’s the blood of a new foot.

But compared to me before, I was definitely rich.

“I made a lot of money as a mercenary.”

After being promoted to a silver mercenary, his income naturally increased. In his spare time, he worked as a mercenary to earn money step by step.

First of all, I saved money with the idea that it was for the future without an exact plan.

As a result, quite a lot of money was accumulated. Of course, Jack’s bounty was the biggest among them.

Moredt was still reluctant.

“It costs gold to stay.”

“Why?”

Gold is good enough. I didn’t have the common people’s concept of economy, but I know the market to some extent because I made money doing mercenary work.

It was only natural that a high-class inn where a noble could stay would cost gold.

“The place where commoners stay is 1 gold.”

1 gold. It is the same money as when making a mercenary card.

Of course, the gold in the mercenary certificate is a deposit concept, so it is the money that can be received when returning the mercenary card to the guild.

However, 1 gold was quite a lot of money for the common people.

“On the other hand, a high-end inn for high-ranking nobles costs 100 gold.”

“How expensive!”

I’m not even kidding, it was too expensive.

It was necessary to change the destination.

“wait for a sec! Nobles don’t have to sleep only in luxury inns. You can stay in a place where commoners can stay.”

After thinking about it for a while, it was a simple thing.
