Swordmaster of the Red Light District

Alesia (2)

Episode 12

The mountain is wide.

It takes a month to properly explore the mountain behind it, but on its side is the Signi Mountains, which is one of the largest in the Empire.

Rey looked around once at the beginning of the Signy Mountains and realized that I was doing something crazy.

“I can’t.”

Even if the probability was low, it was too low.

Even if Alessia really climbed the mountain, and Ray took the right direction.

If I searched the mountain all day, the chance of meeting Alesia was close to zero.

Rey, who had searched the mountain recklessly for two more hours after that, shook her head.

“Fold, fold.”

There was no real answer to this, maybe if I had learned the tracking technique separately.

“I thought it would be too far-fetched to bring Jimmy and Matthew… but I was wrong.”

Rey slumped to the ground with a face that was not too tense while kicking his tongue.

If nothing happened, Alesia would have been wandering the streets by now and would have been caught by the countess and returned to Yeongjuseong.

Even if you really climbed the mountain, you would have climbed the mountain behind Yeongjuseong a little bit and wandered around.

“Shall we go back to the nursery as it is?”

From here, going over the mountain in the opposite direction, we came to a village with Jimmy’s nursery school full of charity and love.

Ray turned his butt and frowned slightly before moving his feet.

step on shit

“It’s the feces of the beast.”

Ray rubbed his feet on the ground and walked as he looked at the ground.

After walking for a while following the footprints of the beast that had begun to be erased, I was able to pick up a few stiff black hairs.

“Hmm.”

To reiterate, Rey never specialized in tracking or hunting.

But this stiff black fur was a very familiar kind.

“Shall we look for a little more?”

*

Alesia was a little disappointed.

Because they failed to find a cave in the mountains to let the sun go in.

The perfect plan to find a nice cave and use it as a hideout went awry from the beginning.

Alesia, who had been a little confused, quickly regained her energy.

It’s not even raining right now, so you just need to take it easy and find the cave.

We had to light a fire for a safe stay.

Alesia, who had been collecting stones and branches, worked hard to make a frame with stones and then piled up the branches.

“Hmm, hmmm.”

Alesia, who looked at her finished product with a satisfied face, looked around while leaning slightly.

Tools were needed for easy ignition, but there were no ignition stones or matches in Alesia’s hands.

After confirming that no one was around several times, Alessia reached out with a branch.

“fire.”

Mana condensed and began to resonate with each other.

As the waving mana finally radiated a scorching light, small sparks rose from the dry branches.

Whoops!

“Keep it up!”

Hehe, you’re already good at magic here. Also I’m a genius

Watching the burning bonfire, Alessia looked through her bag with a smile on her face.

[Wind Spirit Lucia: Empire Travels]

It has been Alessia’s most frequent, favorite book and travel diary in the last few years.

Every time she picked up this book and read it, a cheeky bastard would say something, but Alesia still loved and envied Lucia’s travels to the Empire.

Facing the warmth of the warm fire, Alesia, who was reading the ‘Precautions for Traveling Alone’ written in the Empire Travel Journal, felt tired and rummaged through her bag.

A nervous voice echoed behind his back as the high-quality silk fabric he had secretly brought from home came out of the bag.

“hey.”

“Aww!!”

Alessia jumped out of her seat, startled.

Ray said something in a pathetic tone.

“The bitch who wrote that book is a scammer?”

“Hey! Huh! Huh…?”

Alessia, who took a long breath to calm her startled heart, put down the book and sighed in relief.

“Someone told me that I am a naive idiot.”

“Come on, it’s Cheonmin.”

It was dark, so it was hard to see, but Rey’s sweaty face was still full of fatigue.

I’ve been looking for Alesia for a long time.

If Alessia hadn’t started the fire, she would have been more lost or late.

Ray rubbed his face and bruised.

“Lucia, I told you several times that most of the travelogues were made up of fictional places that Ji had never been to, but do you still wear them around your side?”

“Okay! Stop talking about that! If you insult Lucia any further, no matter how much you are, I won’t forgive you!”

Alesia grunted, looked around for a moment and then lowered her voice.

“Big, but Ray… Did you come alone? Are you looking for me?”

“for now?”

“Has anyone followed you?”

“no.”

“Hey, that means no one’s watching us then.”

Alesia, who wiggled the corners of her lips, patted the rock in front of her with her foot, while straining her neck.

“Then let me grant you the privilege of sitting face to face with the nobles today.”

“Hey, you talk so weird. Just do it like the old days.”

“Ik! You ignorant Cheonmin! Sit down quickly without answering!”

Ray sat down for a moment.

“Alesia, you’re still young, so I don’t know…”

“Uh-huh, are you going to keep talking to the nobles?”

“…there are a lot of scammers in the world, especially those with mouth-watering scams like Lucia.”

“A swindler? A deceiver. What do you mean by looking at Lucia-sama that you keep accusing me of being a deceiver?”

“Even the Sword Master will die 100% if he wanders through the magic realm as Lucia wrote.”

“Uh-huh, that’s why Lucia-sama is praised as the best adventurer and traveler. Cheonmin doesn’t know that either?”

Ray laughed.

“Sometimes I get confused.”

“what?”

“Is Alesia pure or stupid?”

“Rei! Do it in moderation! There is a stern rule of the empire! How could a common man play with a nobleman’s mouth!”

After thinking for a while, Ray spoke.

“Silly.”

“What a Cheonmin!”

“dummy.”

“I don’t care about the nobles…!”

“mutt.”

“Hey!! Do it in moderation!!”

“Alesia, do you know that?”

At one beat, Sheen Rei pulled out her sword halfway from her waist.

“There is no distinction between nobles and lowly in the wild that Alesia likes.”

Alesia pulled back in shock and muttered in a muffled voice.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve been happy to meet you, but I keep getting bruised. Don’t frighten me and tell me some interesting stories. Please don’t make me sad.”

Alessia’s eyes widened.

Rey pondered for a moment, then lowered the sheath as it had pulled out the sword halfway, and changed his posture and sat down.

It’s a fun story.

Rei, who had just thought of a suitable story, asked insinuatingly.

“Lady, how do you think I found you?”

“Oh! I was just wondering. I certainly thought that my father’s article would come to me first.”

“Guess it once.”

“Hmm… Do the common people have antennae to recognize noble blood?”

That will increase the survival rate.

It instinctively recognizes noble blood and crawls on the floor.

Alesia boasted that her reasoning was very logical.

Ray raised the corners of his mouth as he remembered that the word ‘that f*cking bastard’ came up to his throat, but that the other person would be around 10 years old at most.

“Lady, do you know what a neighborhood dog has better sense than a master-class unmanned man?”

“A neighborhood dog has a better sense than a master-level unin? It’s the first time I’ve heard of it!”

“It’s the sense of smell. It can be said that a decent dog is better at smelling than a decent sword master.”

“Interesting. Surely, I’ve heard that dogs can follow a target with their sense of smell, even over a mountain.”

“It’s the same with monsters.”

“Do monsters also have a good sense of smell?”

“It’s not a story of smell. Monsters have a really good ability to sense mana.”

For monsters, mana was both a fascinating existence and a subject to be wary of.

Creatures with mana were truly delicious prey, but those with strong mana were a very threatening enemy.

In order to distinguish them well, many of the monsters had very well-developed mana sensing organs.

“In conclusion, this means that the young mana that has just awakened and is running around without knowing how to properly store its own mana is a very attractive and easy prey for monsters.”

To the extent that the monsters that were active in the depths of the Sydney Mountains took risks and approached the realm of humans.

“Isn’t it written in Lucia’s book?”

“…”

Alessia, who sensed the serious atmosphere, swallowed her saliva and looked at her.

“He, he, Rei, it’s a secret that you shouldn’t tell Cheonmin. Actually, I…”

“I didn’t come after her.”

Rey picked up the sword he had pulled out halfway.

“Unfortunately, I didn’t come after her. If I had followed her, I wouldn’t have been able to find her in a week.”

sulleung

A graceful swordsman appeared under the moonlight.

“I’ve been chasing a monster. A very familiar monster.”

“Creep…”

The cry of the beast warms the cool night air.

Over Alesia’s shoulder, who had begun to tremble, a being with red eyes was slowly approaching.

Ray laughed out of embarrassment.

“Is it your guy?”

wild hog. A monster resembling a wild boar.

However, it is the size of a tiger, and the strength of the body that accepts the magic is not comparable to that of any other beast.

That dark-black monster was obviously a powerful being who could not properly respond to an uninhabited man who could handle some mana.

“Well, I guess you and I have a deep relationship. It was mainly the intestines.”

“Creep…”

Alesia’s body trembled to the sound of the wild hog’s cry.

Alesia glanced behind her and immediately screamed and stepped back.

“Hey! Whoa!”

Rey caught Alesia, who had almost tripped over the bonfire without retreating.

Alessia, holding Rey’s collar tightly, gasped and asked.

“Lee, Rei! Can you face that monster?”

“Uh, it’s a bit ambiguous. It’s strong, and it’s especially tough among monsters, so the sword doesn’t stick. Even the intestines are incredibly tough, so… Anyway, it doesn’t break.”

“Then are we going to die…?”

“Don’t worry, miss.”

Rey took a step forward and confronted Wildhog.

“I’ll buy you some time. Ms., run away.”

“Ray! How could I leave you alone…!”

“Hurry up and run away! Get down quickly and call someone! Hurry up!”

“Hey, huh! Rei! Be patient! I’ll definitely come back!”

With tears in her eyes, Alessia started running down the mountain in a hurry.

Rey, who glanced at Alesia, who had begun to move away, put her sword back in and asked Wildhog.

“What are you doing? I’m not chasing you.”

“Creep…!!”

Alessia overlooked two things.

first. Wild Hog approached the human realm in the first place, aiming for Alesia’s mana. Rey also possessed mana, but it did not attract the attention of Wildhogs, as the sheep was the size of a rat’s tail and had good control.

second. Wild hogs have a habit of chasing their prey as they run away. Therefore, turning your back on the Wild Hog and running away was the same as openly pulling out the aggro.

“Cruck!!”

The Wild Hog, completely ignoring Rey, immediately started chasing Alesia.

Before long, Alesia’s scream echoed through the mountains.

“aa!!!”

“Beware of those scammers.”

Ray clicked his tongue .
