Swordmaster of the Red Light District

Homophobia (1)

19

The battle between the swordsman and the wizard is always interesting.

However, those who know even a little about combat say that wizards have a tactical advantage in most battlefields, unless special premises such as stealth are laid down.

That’s right.

In particular, if the opponent is a high-ranking wizard of 6th circle or higher, it is not easy to win even if an expert-class unmanned unit rushes in as a squad.

It is believed that at least a grade-class unmanned man beyond the expert is necessary, but this was also close to the minimum condition.

So Jimmy’s face-to-face confrontation with David was close to suicidal.

David was briefly tempted to kill Jimmy, but soon regained his immobility.

David noticed that there was another enemy.

Location? beyond the ceiling. above the roof.

Killing two half-experts is too easy.

However, they are mercenaries with thick bones. If you are determined and vigilant, it is difficult to quietly subdue it.

It was very difficult if the noise of the battle leaked out when the Count had arrived nearby.

Killing two mercenaries can be a disappointment, but if things get bigger, other wizards who hear the news will be puzzled.

That’s really difficult.

‘That’ can never be taken away from others. must be possessed

There is no need to rush with a difference of a day or two. No one has yet noticed the value of ‘that’. I had to be immobile and get the job done perfectly.

David’s grasp hid again in the robe’s shadow.

bum bum bum

David started walking.

Jimmy was still giving his legs full strength while still generating sword energy.

David kept walking, finally standing next to Jimmy.

“…”

David just walked past Jimmy.

A cold sweat formed on the back of Jimmy’s nose and fell.

Jimmy, who had stood for a long time, maintaining extreme tension, exhaled the breath he had been holding back until he heard a familiar voice.

“Go, Captain.”

“Uhhh.”

Jimmy asked, leaning his back against the wall, brushing his damp hair up.

“Are you gone?”

“I made sure you left the orphanage.”

“Damn, if you look at the pressure, he must have been a high-ranking wizard!”

“It sounds like someone from the count’s side, but if it’s a high-ranking wizard, it’s David who was invited to educate the young lady.”

“Why is that dog-like bastard suddenly attacking the nursery school!”

Jimmy slammed the wall.

As a mercenary, he caught Gao plausibly thanks to his enlarged liver, but this time he almost died.

In fact, even when he was a mercenary, he had never faced a high-ranking wizard head-on. If it was, I would have looked back.

“Are you both okay?”

The voice of a child who has not passed the metamorphosis.

Turning his head, Ray was standing in the hallway.

“Did something happen?”

“It’s been a very, very bad thing. Crawl here to see if the Countess Wizard has gone mad…”

Jimmy narrowed his eyes without speaking.

“Did you, you bastard, know this and let us go?”

“…Did you think we could meet?”

Jimmy laughed softly.

“Hey you bastard!!!”

Ray had nothing to say about this.

Rey, who was quietly grabbed by the collar, was hung in the air and heard Jimmy’s continuous swear words.

“Ahhh!! You bastard, are you actually trying to get rid of me and eat your head?!”

“Why would I want to get rid of the boss?”

“You idiot, why am I the boss!!”

Jimmy continued to swear until his eardrums hurt, and after a while, he put Ray down and asked.

“So, why did that wizard crawl here?”

“…I don’t know. It looks like they’re heading to an orphanage, so I asked because the only people I could trust were Jimmy and Matthew.”

“Even so, without saying anything, they push us into their limbs!!”

“I thought you’d be okay, Jimmy.”

It was sincere.

Even if the wizard noticed Luna’s existence and tried to do his best, he predicted that if an opponent with a ‘battle’ was in the nursery, he would retreat for now. Because the Count was nearby.

Nevertheless, it was true that he had made a dangerous request without warning, so Ray honestly apologized.

“I’m sorry. Thank you for protecting the children.”

“Ha, okay. Let’s put this aside. I’m still shaking to death.”

Jimmy sat down in his seat, breathing slowly.

Jimmy, who calmed his heart, brought up a question he had been wondering about for the past few days.

“Why did you write your letter like that?”

“There are circumstances.”

With a small smile, Rey continued.

“I was scouring the mountain all day, catching and killing wild hogs, and coming down from the mountain all night with a frown on Alesia’s up, so I couldn’t get my mind off it.”

Jimmy, who was about to say something, nodded.

Jimmy also served as a mercenary and was often in extreme situations. When a person can’t sleep and his stamina goes down, he starts to talk nonsense beyond just blurring his judgment.

Among them, the cubs quietly looking for their mother were the yangban.

“I understand.”

“That’s what Jimmy said, I’ve nailed it to the Count because I know how to use swords.”

“Yamma, the lady disappeared, so I went with the Count to search the Signy Mountains, but the Wild Hog has been hacked and searched.”

Jimmy swallowed one saliva and pointed to his belly button.

“But a certain stupid guy covered the world’s poorly cut marks with the sword. So, when he savagely reported, ‘The Count, the traces of hiding the sword, the young lady may have been kidnapped.’ A bridge flew from the sky.”

“ha ha ha!”

When Ray, who was drawn to the situation, burst into laughter, Jimmy and Matthew laughed along with them.

Jimmy laughed for a while and grabbed Ray’s shoulder.

“Anyway, thank you. I thought it would be difficult to hold my neck after this job. Thanks to you, I saved an hour. If a lady was torn to pieces by a Wild Hog, oh, I can’t even imagine. But what did you ask the Earl for compensation? He’ll take care of everything.”

“I asked you to dispatch a knight.”

“Ki, knight? Did you hear that?”

“You’re happy to listen. You promised to give the ‘children’ of the orphanage the opportunity to learn basic mana techniques and swordsmanship.”

Jimmy and Matthew’s eyes changed.

“…mana techniques?”

“…swordsmanship? Knights use?”

“Yes. Although it is basic, the mana techniques and swordsmanship used by proper knights…”

“Oh oh oh oh…”

“Oh oh oh oh oh…”

“I’m thinking of asking for a mana refining method when the basics are finished…”

“Hey, how to refining mana!”

“oo…!”

Jimmy and Matthew’s reactions were so strange this time, Ray frowned.

“No, why?”

“Hey, Ray, are you there?”

Jimmy, who narrowed the distance, asked more carefully.

“Are we included in the ‘children’ of the nursery school?”

Did this man break his head while dealing with a wizard?

Rey looked at Jimmy with his cold eyes and relaxed his expression as if he understood.

As mercenaries, they learned cheap mana skills and imitated them as experts.

He has enough talent, but he hasn’t blossomed, so the craving for proper learning will be considerable.

Even if you learn the systematic mana technique and swordsmanship now, it will be difficult to excel, but that is a fact that Jimmy and Matthew also knew.

“Well, I’ll ask you a favor first.”

“Uhhh!!”

“Uhhh!!”

Jimmy and Matthew looked at each other and gave off bizarre laughter.

Ray, who watched the two with a complicated gaze, finally confided the question that had been floating around in his mouth.

“Jimmy, I have a question for you.”

“why?”

“If I use all my family’s power, will I be able to kill the 6th circle wizard?”

At Rey’s unexpected question, Jimmy’s hand, who had just giggled, trembled.

After a long silence, Matthew, who was next to him, shook his head.

“Impossible. A high mage is a more difficult opponent than a graded-class unmanned man. He will only carry a number of artifacts that are enchanted.”

“What if I included myself in the power?”

Matthew looked into Ray’s eyes.

I had no idea if the current question was just curiosity or if there was another reason.

“…Your space sword is incomplete.”

“Yes.”

“A wizard never stays in one place when a battle begins. He keeps moving to avoid interception. A high-ranking mage will definitely notice the moment the mana is concentrated enough to express his sword.”

“Because I can’t control the space jump delay right now…”

“Even if it’s a sneak attack, if things go wrong, it will only cut through the air. I wonder if a high-ranking wizard will die with a single shot if I hit it, and if I can’t finish it in the first attack, I can’t win.”

“Yamma, even if you say you can kill me.”

Jimmy intervened.

“I can’t keep up with it. It’s common for wizards to lose contact for a month or two, but if the disappearance goes on longer than that, they’ll come out of the tower to which they belong. .”

Ray’s face hardened seriously.

It is also close to impossible to kill, and once you do, it is impossible to recover.

I had to make a choice. who will save

Unless you’re planning to burn down the whole nursery, the only way left is…

will give it away what the wizard wants

‘Give it to me?’

who? Luna?

“👀…”

You’re going to give the legendary orphan you’ve barely pulled out after years of gacha like a dog to the mage you see for the first time today?

If that’s the case, then why did you go through all these hardships until now?

Every time a Unique and Legendary appears, every time a cub coveting the orphan appears, do I have to bring it and offer it?

If you were going to live like that, you wouldn’t even start doing this.

Either way, it was all or nothing, and Rei was thinking of rolling the yut until Mo came out even if he looked behind him.

‘However…’

Will the others agree with the claim of risking their lives to protect one little boy?

Ray was skeptical.

If there was a bastard who agreed, that bastard was crazy.

Fighting against the 6th Circle Wizard was different from simply risking one’s life.

Ray, who continued to giggle, abruptly stopped laughing.

“What are you thinking about?”

Ray never intended to lose ‘his own’.

Even if you die when you die.

“Black, huh!”

In the carriage, Alessia, enraged by the Count, snorted and wiped her tears.

The Count was also disturbed by the sight of his daughter crying, but this was not a matter to be pampered and thrown away.

Still, thinking about her daughter who had been struggling for the past few days, her willpower weakened.

“Stop crying. I wish I knew what was wrong.”

“Black! Yeah…”

When did Alesia start having accidents like this?

Although he was a tomboy in the past, he did not run away without measures.

The moment I suddenly stopped hearing more…

‘That’s when I scolded you for dating someone while trying to hide your identity.’

The Count opened his mouth just in case.

“Alesia, did you not like the advice I gave you to go out with someone while trying to find out your identity?”

Alessia’s body trembled.

The Count felt his bones hurt, but because of his face, he could not openly press his temples and continued the conversation.

“They don’t stop exchanges just because their blood is lowly. People are eventually tainted by the environment. Those who don’t get the proper education are ignorant, vulgar, unrestrained, and stubborn.”

“…”

“You must lead them, so you must not be stained by them.”

Alessia started swinging her legs back and forth. It’s blatantly bullshit.

The Count felt the urge to press down on his temples once more.

“But, Ray, that guy was different.”

Alesia’s legs stopped.

“He’s an unbelievably smart kid your age. He’s also good and loyal.”

I feel Alessia slowly staring at me.

Seeing the reaction of his daughter, the count was troubled in many ways.

“If you live in an orphanage led by a very wise child, I don’t think there will be any shortcomings in getting along with you. I will not prevent you from interacting with them.”

Alessia’s lips twitched.

Alessia tried her best not to show off, but in the Count’s eyes, it was.

In fact, when I saw something like that, I scolded him to keep more distance from Ray.

From now on, on the contrary, it seems that we have to pray for a narrower relationship.

Alessia asked, smirking.

“Dad, Ray was very strong.”

“Yeah. He was born with great qualities.”

“If it’s Rei, can I become a knight?”

Article? only?

In the opinion of the Count, Rei would have been a talented person to build an empire if it was difficult now.

“It could be enough.”

“Ummm… Uhmmm… Hee-hee…”

What can you imagine to smile like that?

The Count gave up asking the question, as it would only make his head hurt more if he found out.

“But is David still there?”

When I opened the carriage window, David was walking towards the carriage.

The Count waited for David to get into the carriage, but David made eye contact with the Count, stood still and bowed his head slightly.

“Sir, I think I will be absent for a month.”

one month.

This time, the Count also expressed displeasure because it was by no means a short period.

“David, we have signed a contract. For the next three months, you need to focus on Alesia’s class.”

“I’m sorry. Something unexpected has happened, and I think we need to move right away. We promise you enough compensation after your return for not being faithful to the contract with the Count.”

The Count nodded his head.

David was a wizard belonging to the tower, and he was by no means a light horse.

We heard an apology and promised compensation, so there was no need to hurt each other anymore.

“Okay. Do it.”

“Thank you for your generosity.”

David bowed his head once more and moved away from the carriage.

The Count didn’t feel any problems.

It’s always been the case for wizards to behave arbitrarily .
