1 Second Sword Master Episode 13

“Meet the Great!”

When I left the mansion, the knights waiting outside greeted me.

Among them,

“Meet the Great.”

Aaron was there too.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw that handsome face.

Why is that guy here?

If it hadn’t been for Aslan’s morbid bravado, he would have screamed in shock.

“Aaron.”

“Yes.”

“Why are you here?”

“I applied myself to assist the lieutenant commander. From now on, I will stay by the side of the Grand Commander and learn the pride and honor of the knight you spoke about.”

“…”

Is it real?

That Aaron, with his mouth-watering stats and abilities, acts as my escort knight?

I’ve played this game many times, but this was the first time.

“Couldn’t you have just been given a suitable position?”

“Military Hores advised me that it would be better to do this.”

Is that inspiration related?

Yesterday, out of the blue, I received a report that Horeth had taken Aaron.

Didn’t the two of them make a deal there?

Even if you try not to be suspicious, you are bound to be suspicious.

There is also a point that the difficulty is atrocious, and it is because Horace is the person who originally tried to kill Aslan.

“I will quit if you don’t want to.”

Of course, there was an awkward corner, so I tried to bite it by my side,

“I never speak twice with one mouth, Aaron.”

The tongue, which had already been eaten by Aslan’s bravado, would not tolerate it.

“I was the one who asked you to learn by the side of the continent’s strongest. So it’s good to be by your side.”

“thank you.”

Then, calmly, I climbed onto the horse.

After that, my escort knights and Aaron rode together.

“…”

The back of my head is sore.

From now on, Aaron had to live with the anxiety of not knowing when he would wield the sword.

‘Hores. Let’s see.’

I will never forgive that viper of inspiration.

I made that promise and went to the palace.

The capital of Eli Kingdom, Brill.

It’s not as dazzling as the big cities of other kingdoms, but it’s safe to say that it has everything you need.

Even if it is a weak country, it is made so that it does not interfere with the first game play.

“Oh oh. You are great.”

“Today we meet a great person.”

Passers-by on the road greeted me politely.

The position of captain of the grand division, plus the tremendous title of Continental Sword Master.

Since I had these two, the people considered it a great honor just to see my face.

Reputation was important to this game to the extent that even the title of sword master could calm down to some extent, no matter how bad the city was or how bad the public sentiment was.

“May the blessings of the gods be with you.”

I didn’t head straight for the royal palace, but deliberately passed through the middle of the city where the citizens were concentrated.

It’s not to hear the praise they shout at me.

Of course, Aslan was enjoying this moment very much with his infatuation trait activated, but I was walking around the city for a different purpose.

“You are a great man. Please help us.”

yes. It was because of this.

* Quest happens!

[People of Eli Kingdom]

– Please listen to the big and small requests of the people of Eli Kingdom.

– If you do a total of 10 requests, you will get 1 gold as a reward.

1 gold.

It may seem very salty, but it’s not that the people are asking for something difficult.

The reason I got 10 gold at a time was because the difficulty of the quest was ridiculously high. It was a miracle that he completed consecutive quests that were practically impossible to clear.

On the other hand, many of the quests they gave were simple.

In addition, depending on the contents of the quest, the troublesome thing was to just order the knights, and if you needed more manpower, you could drag the knights from the palace, so it didn’t matter.

Like daily quests, it was a very good source of gold, where you could get gold if you listened to the difficulties of the people.

‘It’s safer and better than doing a sudden quest where you have to kill the name like Yuhan.’

Rather than risking his life to get 10 gold, it seemed much better to slowly collect gold like this.

“The wagon wheel is broken, so I can’t pull the cart!”

“Something was stolen. Please help!”

I can’t do all 10 quests in one day, so after receiving one or two quests, I

“Fix it.”

“Yes.”

“Find the thing.”

“Yes.”

“Who is in charge of security? Call him here.”

“Yes!”

I just gave orders.

If you just play as a normal named character, you had to run around to solve the quests one by one. But I am Aslan, who has the greatest power in this kingdom.

I don’t have to run around myself.

You just have to let the subordinates do it.

“Monsters are appearing in the fields. Because of that, I am unable to work.”

Of course, there were also dangerous quests where you had to deal with monsters yourself.

When I went to the rice field, it was occupied by beasts with black teeth.

[Black Tooth Jaguar]

Level: 55

A level 55 monster.

With Aslan’s body, it was barely a level to deal with even one.

However, the number of black-toothed jaguars scattered across the fields seemed well over 15.

But this hasn’t been a big problem for me.

because for me,

“Aaron.”

“Yes.”

“Sweep it out.”

“All right.”

Because Aaron is there.

Sreureung-!

He pulled out the sword at his waist.

However, the condition of the sword was strange.

Aaron was using a broken sword.

“Aaron. that black?”

“This is the mithril sword that your master broke last time with his bare hands.”

Mithril?

The mithril I know?

Did I break it?

For some reason, even after pouring the potion, my hands were dirty and didn’t heal.

“I carry it with me to engrave the teachings of that time in my heart.”

I have a good mindset.

How are you going to fight with it?

Think about that for a while.

Hwaaak-!

Sword energy flowed from Aaron’s sword.

The blue sword replaced half of the broken sword and sharpened its sharp edge.

“…”

Is this the overwhelming difference between the spoon and spoon of talent?

‘yes. Who cares about whom.’

Aaron was born with a golden spoon in both his attributes and stats.

There was no need to worry about Aslan, who had only 50 armed forces.

True to his name, he sliced up Jaguars in an instant.

“Wow!”

“All the monsters are dead!”

“Long live the Grand Commander!”

Aaron performed the jokes, but I received all the compliments.

“Thank you, Grand Commander.”

“He is our benefactor.”

Aslan accepted the situation as if it were natural and immersed himself in their cheers.

Aaron and the knights seemed to be able to quickly fill 10 quests at this speed.

“Is there anything else I can help with?”

When I showed no sign of leaving, Aaron cautiously informed me.

“Standby division commander. I’m very late for the government meeting. Shouldn’t we be leaving right now?”

At Aaron’s words, the people hesitated to say something to me, but withdrew. That became the trigger for Aslan’s bluff that had been sleeping.

“Aaron. What is a government meeting?”

“Yes?”

“The government meeting is to protect the foundation of the kingdom. Then what is the foundation of the kingdom?”

“that’s······.”

I pointed at the people gathered around me.

“It is them. They are the most precious people who support this kingdom. Wouldn’t listening to their hard work and difficulties be more important than sitting down for a while and talking about government affairs?”

It was an obvious word.

I was just bluffing and spitting out words that were not in my heart.

Even so, the people looked at me with moving eyes.

“Ahh. He is also great.”

“How well you know our hearts.”

“Standby Division Commander!”

“You are the hope of our kingdom!!”

Morale enhancement, dignified charm, reign.

There’s even an appropriate bravado.

There seemed to be no better quality to stir up a crowd.

Indeed, they cried out and called my name aloud.

Aslan’s bravado and infatuation only deepened at the praise and cheers bursting out here and there.

“I, Aslan, will always take care of you. Just like Aslan, you are the hope of the kingdom.”

“Yes!!”

“We will only believe in you!!”

This was like blowing your nose without even touching it.

This unreasonable system where I leave all quest progress to my subordinates and I monopolize all attention, love, and rewards.

I liked it very much.

“Standby division commander. My thoughts were short. Thank you for your teaching.”

Aaron’s expression was much more relaxed than when he first came.

In time, he first approached the people and asked them.

“If you need help, tell me anything. We will do our best to help according to the will of the Grand Commander.”

“We will help too.”

“Just say anything. I will help according to the will of the Great One!”

Aaron, the knights, and even the common people.

They all assimilated and began to help people with one heart and one mind.

But there a problem arose.

‘uh. wait for a sec.’

It was that they were doing the work I could help on behalf of, so the quest didn’t happen.

‘I shouldn’t be like this.’

This was an unexpected development.

It was good to raise the public sentiment with bravado and infatuation, but this was not what I wanted.

“Everyone, don’t overdo it. I can do it.”

Before the quest disappeared, I, who had been only giving orders from behind, tried to take off both hands and feet.

But they stopped me.

“no. We can do it ourselves. Didn’t you teach that the people who form the foundation of the kingdom should help each other and live?”

“Now I will work hard to help and live, Commander of the Grand Division!”

“Following the wishes of Grand Commander Aslan, I will always be looking for people who need help!”

no. Hey guys .. hey guys.

I need to earn gold!

“now. Whoever needs food, come here!”

“If there is anything to fix, I will fix it.”

“If you have a sore spot, I know how to use a little healing magic. Line up!”

Without even stopping, people reached out to help each other.

It spread like an epidemic, and the exclamation mark quest notifications floating above some people were disappearing one by one.

‘Ahh. My precious quests… my precious gold…’

The bluff of this killer.

This guy’s mental illness is holding me back again.

But you can’t give up like this.

“I will help too!”

If you don’t step out now, all the quests will be taken away by those hyenas.

Despite the people’s persuasion, I fought until the end.

This is because he had to collect gold by taking one more quest.

Isn’t it a life-and-death matter for me?

“It’s already time…”

Time passed and the sun was setting.

‘I didn’t intend to stay this long.’

I didn’t even realize the time was passing as I was chasing quests.

‘Fortunately, I got 7 of them.’

I thought I would do 10 today, but Aaron, that shrewd guy took all of my quests away.

‘As expected, the ambush planted by Horace.’

He was a formidable fellow.

Still, it’s very useful for quest progress, so it’s a pity not to bring it.

yes. It was a trick.

‘Even if I go to the palace now, no one will be there.’

I soon lost my mind as I set my direction to go to the palace.

Now that time has passed, everyone must have gone home.

Then shall I go back too?

“Standby division commander! come again!”

“Thank you so much for today!!”

“I love you, standby leader!!”

“I look forward to seeing you again!”

I turned around as I was greeted by the people.

My body was tired, but one thing I liked was that feeling the sweet and warm affection of the people was quite healing.

For the first time, it felt good to have had a meaningful day.

‘yes. This is the romance of RPG games.’

It was a time when I passed between people waving at me, going around the road I had passed.

I am accepting their greetings one by one, at the end there is something that catches my eye.

“…?”

Dots clinging to the wall behind people.

By the dots I mean here, I mean the dots above these people’s heads.

So if I fix my gaze on a person for a few seconds, the floating dot above my head changes to show me his name and abilities.

Didn’t I have the player’s privilege to see the opponent’s name and stats?

It was a really useful ability for me.

But with the naked eye, I couldn’t see who was on that wall.

I just see dots floating in the air.

that is,

‘Stealth skill?’

It means that you are deliberately going into stealth with a skill or a magic tool.

In this weak kingdom of Eli, there are people who hide their identities by using stealth skills.

Not just one, but five?

Something smelled.

I widened my eyes and fixed my gaze on one of them.

Then, the figure of a person was not visible, and the dot that was only on the top gradually changed.

[Hariel]

Power: 90

Intellect: 70

“!?”

I almost stopped breathing for a moment.

A super strong man with a power level of 90.

The guys next to them are all talented people who go back and forth between 70 and 80 in power.

In addition, the name Hariel was a name I knew.

‘Why is that woman here?’

A heavy-duty name worthy of the military power of 90.

I wondered why the hell she came here,

‘Let’s not tell.’

I tried to pretend I didn’t see it.

I feel like I’ll get hurt if I know

Even using the stealth skill meant that I didn’t want to reveal my identity, but I didn’t want to upset my heart by exposing it.

So I didn’t see anything.

nothing!

“You are cheeky.”

But,

“Did you think you could fool my eyes with that pathetic stealth?”

There was no way Aslan’s bravado, digging into his temples, let this go unnoticed.

“There must be evil intentions in sneaking in here even while doing such a trick.”

Whoever it is against, no matter how powerful it is, everyone just seems insignificant to Aslan, who is riddled with morbid bravado and pride.

“Make your appearance. Otherwise, I will cut your throat.”

Having lost my coward head, my body was already heading towards Hariel.
