1 Second Sword Master Episode 26

‘What case is this?’

[Elberstein]

Power: 80

Intellect: 85

Elberstein’s power is increasing day by day.

A week after the first growth, Elberstein’s strength rose to 80.

I have no idea how far this is going to go.

I knew there was a trait called Growth Acceleration, but I thought only the main character could explode that trait?

Hero.

Ella Behak The most important character that penetrates the story of the game.

Its name is

[Alexander]

Depending on the player’s choice, they can be heroes or villains.

The direction was different depending on how the player handled this main character.

‘Wasn’t Elberstein’s characteristics unlocked only through the main character?’

Why the hell did the power level keep rising like that all of a sudden?

‘Could it be that Aslan’s bluff at that time worked?’

If that is true, this too was a great discovery.

It’s because I found out that if you shake the snout well, you can open the locked properties.

‘by the way······.’

Today, too, I looked at Elberstein, who smiled like a prince and was polite to me.

“Have you come, great man? Today, the solemn appearance is very cool.”

“…”

Aren’t you going home?

no. Right now your eldest brother is handing over the kingdom to the demons, so you should hurry and run to the lord of Rikar or prepare for a war.

Why are you still not doing anything?

“Are you patrolling the city again today?”

“no. I think I’ve only taken care of the capital of the kingdom so far, so I’m going to go somewhere else.”

The Kingdom of Eli has a total of 3 castles including the capital.

One of them is Ronan Castle, which was about to be robbed by Aaron the other day.

Today, I was planning to go to that area and earn gold by supplying quests.

Even if it’s not often, it’s important to take care of people’s feelings when they go and shine their faces, and you don’t know when people’s feelings will fluctuate because of the level of extreme difficulty.

‘Because there is no answer if it is divided from the inside.’

Anyone who has ever played a strategy game like this knows.

It means that it is more dizzy to explode on the inside than on the outside.

In this game, there are more cases where a castle that was fine due to mismanagement of public sentiment suddenly becomes a city of rebels and is isolated.

That’s why I thought to use Aslan’s characteristics and patrol the castle.

“I see. If so, I will follow.”

Does this guy intend to sit down here at all?

‘for a moment. Wouldn’t this be a good thing?’

If Elberstein’s growth promotion continues to increase his strength, I will have a subordinate more capable than Aaron.

Right now, just having one Aaron is helping me a lot, but here’s a character with 90 strength as a quest macro for me?

‘Isn’t this better than 10 gold?’

After thinking so, Elberstein, who had been looking pretty because of the bounty that had been gleaming in front of him, suddenly looked proud.

‘yes. Grow up quickly.’

Is this the father’s heart?

If Aaron and Elberstein would stand by my side like the left blue dragon and Woo Baek-ho, this seemed like a good investment.

“You are a great man. I have a few words to tell you.”

It was Horeth who came to see me then.

Seeing that he didn’t bother talking here and went inside, it seemed like it was something the two of them would do alone.

We went into the office.

“What is going on?”

“A letter came from the Kingdom of Omer.”

yes.

For some reason, he didn’t come for over a week.

“Have you checked the contents?”

“Yes. I looked for traces of black magic just in case, but fortunately there were none. You can read it with confidence.”

Then Aslan’s bluff wriggled and replied.

“You don’t have to be afraid of that black magic, Horace. Do you think I’ll fall for such crude magic?”

“hahahaha. Of course you know. However, there is such a thing as just in case, so please allow me to always try to be safe.”

“Tsk. I have a lot of worries. take care of it.”

A guy whose body would burst to death just by being brushed by black magic was bluffing anyway.

I opened the letter Horace gave me and checked the contents.

‘Five. They say they’ll give you a bounty?’

As expected, the content was to hand over the prince obediently as he would give compensation.

It also means that the bounty will be doubled.

It seemed like the game and the system were the same.

If the player is holding on to the person the opposing kingdom wants, the money is doubled and called.

“What would you like to do?”

Twice would be enough business, but

‘It’s a waste to sell a guy who’s growing right now.’

The balance calculation is not right.

“Just put it on hold.”

You don’t have to answer right away anyway.

I usually like to push and pull a few times to raise the price.

So just-

‘If the bounty is 5 times, no, 3 times the bounty, let’s hand it over then.’

hehehehe.

I barely restrained myself from laughing.

Until just now, I thought I should raise Elberstein well and keep him by my side, but if the bounty goes up more than 3 times, that will change again.

“······All right. Shall we not inform the outside world of this matter?”

“So be it.”

It would be troublesome if I made a mistake and then grabbed an angle for Elberstein to escape.

In addition, we need to know these things among ourselves so that when we really need to sell them, we can solve them without any noise.

“Are you not going to tell the church about this? The kingdom of Omer used necromancy, which is banned on the continent. Not enough of that, I joined hands with the Tekina tribe. This is treason against Rahal, and it is reckless to turn the entire continent into an enemy.”

If it was a normal accident, it would be right to report to the Church the Kingdom of Omer, which joined hands with Tekina, which all tribes on the continent joined forces 300 years ago and managed to drive out and seal it away.

However, you can’t mess things up by reporting a kingdom that can triple the bounty.

“Hores.”

“Yes, great man.”

“Do you believe in the Order?”

“…!?”

Besides, believing in the church now is a bad choice.

As is usually the case with fantasy novels and games, the writers called denominations were only denominations, and in fact, there was no group of bullies.

Would this game be any different?

Of course, while there are forces within the church that really hate demons and want to drive them out, there are bound to be corrupt ones as well.

The fact that the Techina tribe has already emerged means that there are forces within the church that are reaching out to dark magic.

Since we don’t know how far they’ve expanded their influence, it’s dangerous to rely on the church.

‘And there’s nothing good about being involved with the church.’

Just pampering people on a fictitious day.

How much shit did I train every time I play because of them.

So when I became a deceased person in this game, I avoided the church as much as possible.

“I don’t trust them.”

I just hate them.

I’m not the main character, so there’s no reason to be involved.

“But the only thing that can deal with the Techinas is the power of light.”

That statement is true.

Read at readwn.com

Just as fire is weak to water and darkness is weak to light, in this game, each attribute has its own compatibility.

Techina was darkness, and the Church was light.

But,

“Is that so?”

Aslan’s bluff, rising up his back, was looking at Horeth with solemn eyes.

“Do you really think that only the Church can cut that darkness?”

“that’s······.”

“Light and darkness are not important. Who cuts it is what matters.”

The one who cuts it will be the main character of this game, Alexander.

But,

“To me, Aslan, light and darkness are just things that disappear when cut down.”

This bravado was speaking as if I were the main character, not Alexander.

“So don’t rely on the cult, Horace.”

“…”

“Am I not here?”

Horace swallowed dryly and nodded.

“I will keep that in mind.”

Aslan’s bluff stacks were piling up today as well.

* * *

widely-!

After closing the door, Horace turned his head to look behind him.

‘Bendara regardless of light and darkness.’

It was a very dangerous statement.

But strangely, is it because of the actions he has shown so far?

‘Could it be that the report was true?’

When Aslan brought Elberstein with the knights, Horace heard a strange report from the knights.

‘That must have been Rahal’s light!’

‘I’ve never seen such a divine and beautiful light before.’

The testimonies of the knights were all the same.

It is said that Aslan radiated divine light.

After that, he confronted the demon, and it is said that he destroyed the demon in one blow.

‘The Techina tribe is not a being that can be killed simply because they are strong.’

It was because of this problem that the demons almost destroyed the continent.

You have to purify them with the power of light to cut them down. Or they have power beyond imagination that can break even such compatibility.

Since the latter was rarely the case, no matter how strong a knight was, he could not move in front of the devil.

‘There is no doubt about this.’

Aaron asked about it directly, but Aslan warned him not to make a fuss.

What would that mean?

‘It must be that he has the divine light that can kill demons!’

And Aslan doesn’t want to publicize this outside.

That’s why Horace didn’t bother to ask.

to keep his secret.

‘You are carrying a burden we could not even fathom. That one.’

If I could, I wanted to share the burden.

* * *

“Aslan. What is this guy trying to do now?”

He bowed his pride to the Kingdom of Eli and wrote a letter himself, but there was no response from the Kingdom of Eli.

“Are these guys making fun of me?”

Rivertail, angry to the end, hit the prize with his fist.

“I just can’t stand it.”

“How about waiting a little longer?”

Rivertail raised his voice at Lucian’s words.

“Captain of the Lucian Grand Division. I know you are afraid of Aslan. However, as the best knight in our kingdom and a continental sword master, would you use it out of fear of the enemy!?”

“I am wary of him, not in any way afraid.”

Even when he saw it at the Round Table of Swords, Lucian was afraid of Aslan, just as Rivertail said. But not anymore.

It’s because I have a new power that I’ve been wanting so much.

“Then, how long do we have to be vigilant! He’s ignoring me! Even the Kingdom of Eli!”

Rivertail is a man with a cruel disposition.

Not only did he poison the former king to death, but he also killed all the princes under him.

He even killed his younger brother who came out on the same boat with him to solidify his royal authority.

“I must kill Elberstein. And I also want the head of Aslan who insulted me. no. I want the destruction of Eli Kingdom!”

It was a Rivertail that had already decided on its own will.

His ambition was toward the Kingdom of Eli.

“… If that’s the case, you should do as you please.”

And in fact, Lucian’s blood was boiling as well.

He wanted to quickly use this newly acquired power.

He wondered if his power would reach Aslan, and whether he would be able to subdue the proud and unbreakable man.

It was the seat of the king and the revival of the kingdom, so it didn’t matter to Lucian.

just,

‘I would like to know.’

my strength, my will,

‘Is it stronger than you?’

i just want to know that

so that,

“Give me an army.”

“Oh oh. Is it finally the departure of Lucian’s Grand Knight Commander?”

“Yes. Aslan, I will come and see him.”

The king wants war, but Lucian wanted something else.

I didn’t want to engage in a fierce strategic battle using the military.

Rather than going to war, clashing swords with Aslan was what he really wanted.

“I will definitely decapitate Aslan and present it to the king.”

Lucian made a promise.

Aslan, I will try to break him with these hands.

And furthermore, he said that he would become the strongest on this continent.
