Swordmaster of the Red Light District

Homophobia (2)

20

A day has passed since I sent Alesia.

After blowing off the bridge that hung the letter, I sat still and pondered.

In many ways, the situation was twisted like a dog, but regrets did not solve the problem.

David wanted Luna. Looking back and forth, it didn’t seem like he wanted to be a disciple.

What choices must be made to protect Luna from the 6th circle high wizard David.

Should I entrust Luna to the Count to prevent contact with David?

You could put off the problem for a very short time, but that’s not the answer.

Even in the Countess, there are wizards other than David.

They are not as loyal to the count as the knights.

The count and the wizard were close to a simple employment relationship.

This is the part I didn’t know and overlooked. But now I know

Like David, if Luna’s talent is discovered by the magicians within the Count, they will reveal their true colors and do their best.

What’s more, David wants to monopolize Luna right now, but if that’s not possible, he will call Jiwon to get Luna, even if there is a limit to sharing the stake.

When information about Luna starts to circulate, Matoaps across the Empire will raise their spoons and stick their heads in.

With luck, things will go well, and a sane archmage will just appear and go out to protect Luna.

“haha.”

It was an empty family enough to cause ridicule.

Why did I adamantly insist on not having a relationship with Alesia?

Because the chances of the situation going to extremes were too high.

“Yeah, what…”

First.

“Let’s kill it.”

What to do with the post-processing was something to be pondered after dying.

“It’s a matter of how you kill it.”

Be honest with Jimmy and Matthew and convince them to keep Luna?

That’s a stupid decision.

Luna couldn’t even properly enter magic.

It is difficult to intuitively realize the value of unprocessed talents, unless they have successfully opened their eyes because they are in the stage of sporadically expressing their talents.

Even if she realizes that Luna is a talented person.

She was just a ‘boy’ to anyone in this nursery, even to Rey.

For her uncertain future, there was no fool who could stand against the 6th circle high-ranking wizard.

Not Jimmy, not Matthew, even the Earl of Phillips.

For the one who was abandoned by Amy Abbey, who is talented but has not yet blossomed.

It means that he would never make a foolish choice to confront a high-ranking mage, and furthermore, the Magic Tower.

If you gave Luna to me for a reasonable price, I gave it to you.

only i was

A human who could risk his life for that child.

Even if the inside is dark.

“Assassinating a high-ranking wizard with a space sword…”

No matter how much I thought about it, the probability of failure was too high.

In order to succeed in assassination with the space sword, David must keep his position when I create the sword at a sufficient distance.

Even within the counties, there are expert-level knights, so even if David notices the existence of the sword, he can take it lightly.

The problem is that even if it hits the sword, it’s close to impossible to kill it in one hit.

David will usually be prepared for a sneak attack, and the artifacts he wears will be engraved with defense magic.

The penetrating power of the sword that has been removed from the metal sword is greatly reduced.

To break through the defenses of a high mage, well. Shouldn’t the sword be stacked at least 4 times?

Currently, I can’t control the delay until the sword leaps through space.

What is the probability that the four swords that jumped at random fall toward David at once?

Would you like to be around 0.002%?

If it fails, David will immediately try to dodge and the assassination will fail.

It was an ignorant gamble not worth trying.

“…Harcia. He said that he was a hero of more than 600 years.”

I got up and changed my clothes to something cleaner.

I had to go to the Holy Church.

*

It was impossible for a proper library to exist near the counties.

Yeongjuseong Fortress and the church were the places where most of the books were gathered in this area.

“Ray! It’s been a while since I’ve visited the church!”

Adele, dressed as a nun, greeted me warmly.

I nodded and entered the church.

Adele knew that I had little interest in religious activities such as prayer.

The reason I went to church was usually because I needed a book.

“What book do you need today?”

“Ummm…”

I asked with an innocent voice.

“I came here because I was curious about Harsia-sama.”

“Harcia! You are a great hero.”

With a warm smile, Adele helped find a book related to Harsia.

Six children’s children’s books and three history books.

There were a total of 9 books about Harsia.

In the history book, Harsia’s achievements were described calmly, and the story of the hero’s adventures as if drawn in a fairy tale book were described in different ways.

Even among the history books, there were many contradictions between Harsia’s actions.

It is more than 600 years old.

There was no way to determine to what extent what was written in the books was true.

but.

In every book, he wielded a great spirit, and covered the earth with ice.

“Did Harsia know how to use magic?”

“Ice magic… Freezing magic? It’s said that he always carried a chill in battle.”

“But I heard that Harsia-sama was a sword master…”

“He was a magic swordsman who could handle magic.”

“Is magic swordsman common?”

“Even knights and wizards can create circles and cores. They are people who have been recognized for their mana-manipulating talent.”

Adele pondered for a moment, then added an explanation.

“However, generating two mana cores in the body is inefficient and dangerous. Circles and cores have opposite characteristics, so they are incompatible with each other, and on the contrary, it makes it difficult to control the opponent.”

In my opinion, it was ignorant to operate the core and circle at the same time.

Nevertheless, Harsia learned magic. To be precise, I learned the freezing magic.

why? Is it simply because you are talented enough to handle the core and circle at the same time?

If not.

Is freezing magic related to the interpretation or completion of the space sword?

“Magic…”

I looked down at my chest.

I was not born with a circle.

Also, I didn’t even think about making a circle.

Unlike the relatively simple structure of the core, the circle, also called the mana operator, was far beyond my knowledge and intuition.

“Should I try?”

The ability to artificially create circles is exclusive to wizards.

Circles are not created by roughly turning mana around the heart.

However, artificial circles eventually imitate those who are born with circles.

I knew one owner of a circle with a radius of over 3 m.

“Is it possible to imitate?”

If I had the talent to observe other people’s circles and reproduce the structure, I would have beaten the Demon King myself.

I lacked talent, so I had to do some tricks.

Taking advantage of Adele’s absence, she walked to the library where precious books were gathered.

At the top of the bookshelf, a book stained as red as blood is reflected in my eyes.

I opened the book on my seat.

It was a very expensive book with runes inscribed on it.

Even in the library of the church, there was only one book inscribed with runes.

I could neither understand nor read the runes.

I couldn’t fully accept the fact that this little child’s scribbled marks were connected to the origins of the world.

So I was thinking of trying to force it.

puffy

Threads burst from the white, and tears of blood began to fall.

At the same time, the world was dyed red, and the scribbles of children engraved in the book became an omnipotent voice and began to pierce the brain.

[flame. burning hot. Referee. Irreducible. black ash.]

“shit.”

With an intense headache, he looked away from the runic book.

This detox-related power was not easy to use.

Basically, the load on the brain was too heavy.

The more deeply I understood the phenomenon I wanted to decipher, the weaker my subordinates became, but there was little reason to interpret the phenomena that I was understanding deeply enough to withstand the subordinates.

In the end, the deciphering power was useful only when checking the problem once solved.

“How come all of them are gyureuk?”

Swordsmanship and power.

It was also due to my lack of skill, but the screws were always missing one by one.

“I’ll have to try, though.”

After returning the book, I greeted Adele.

I was going to the orphanage to meet Luna and check the circle, but a bridge flew high in the sky.

Beep-!

I unwrapped the letter from Bridge’s leg that was sitting on her shoulder.

There was a reply written by the Count.

[Lay.

I don’t mind, but if you want to meet David, I can arrange a seat for you.

However, it is impossible right now. David-sama is currently absent due to an emergency.

They said it would take about a month, so if you don’t change your mind even after that time, please contact me again.]

The letter was wrinkled due to the force applied to his hand.

“David, you are determined.”

David hid himself from the Count to secure Luna without being disturbed by anyone.

At this point, the operation to visit David first and outwit it became impossible.

I was just terrified and had to wait for David to come.

At first glance, I thought that the defensive battle would be advantageous, but digging a clumsy trap against a well-prepared high-ranking wizard only gave a warning in advance.

‘…Let’s think positively.’

If you kill the wizard even tomorrow, you can buy a month of time to clean up.

Rey swallowed the paper on which the Count’s reply was written and released the Bridge .
