chapter 27
1 Second Sword Master Episode 27
“sister. Is this correct?”
“Isn’t it just that you stay here and get your hair cut off?”
The woman who was wearing a hoodie frowned because of the timid guild members who were not worthy of her size.
“Hey. You guys heard it too. Eli Kingdom is not looking for us.”
“Great. No matter what, my sister is him…”
A guild member with a thick beard like a bandit looked around and said,
“Didn’t you try to kill Aslan?”
Then, as if they had waited, both you and I helped each other out.
“I didn’t like that from the beginning. Raoul, I wasn’t selling him a single engagement.”
“sister. Is that unmarried pill really effective? How is Aslan still alive after drinking it? It looks like only we will be caught and killed.”
Let’s see these for real.
The woman burst out profanity.
“When the pups handed out money through this kind of nursing care, they just died happily, but are you blaming me now? hem?!”
As she slammed the prize and lost her temper, the guild members also flinched.
“no. I’m not blaming anyone. You’re just telling the truth.”
“I was afraid that I would end up in trouble by stepping on the wrong land of the Kingdom of Eli. When would you say we blamed you?”
The woman immediately shook her head.
“Ugh. I wonder what kind of glory I came here to see with these bastards. So did I come to the capital of Eli Kingdom? This is Castle Ronan. I think that Aslan will come here…”
It was then.
“Who, sister! sister!”
One of the guild members who had been outside hurriedly entered the tavern.
“what? what’s the matter?”
“It’s a big deal, big sister!”
“Then why are you doing that?”
“Oh, Aslan! Aslan is coming here right now!”
“What-?!”
Hearing that, the guild members jumped up from their seats.
“Is that true?!”
“no. Why is that author here…”
“Could you catch us?”
“oh my! We are all dead!”
Because the guild members were just wailing, she couldn’t think of anything, so she screamed out loud.
“Shut up, you piglets!”
“No. Why did you say such harsh words again…”
“I heard you’re too sharp these days?”
It’s strange.
Are you really coming to get us?
I know that Aslan ended the case by quietly executing Raul.
Besides, there would be no reason for Aslan to move and come to catch him.
I thought it was strange that the case was ended so quickly.
‘Could it be that he buried me after knowing that I was implicated…?’
The woman burst out laughing at the sudden thought.
yes. can it be
The opponent is Aslan.
No one else knows, but that bastard couldn’t do that.
‘But it sure is strange.’
If it was the information power of the Eli Kingdom and the Berak family, they would have inferred the culprit who was sympathetic to Raul. And even though he could have quickly discovered that it was he who sold the drug, Aslan still hasn’t put a bounty on him.
What does this mean?
“sister. Let’s bounce quickly!”
“Yes. Everyone will die if we stay here!”
“Hey. Everyone shut up and eat something. If Aslan had really tried to catch us, would he have come in person? They would have sent troops.”
In fact, this was not the only strange thing.
He survived even after eating that strong unmarried promise, and even after that, Aslan continued to shock the continent.
Daejeon What happened so that people could change like that?
‘Or it could just be a scam.’
The woman knows Aslan.
That he is an incompetent, bluffing idiot.
so that,
‘I’ll never believe it.’
I wanted to check.
Is he really as rumored, or is it still the Aslan she knows?
“In addition, I haven’t received the money yet, so I can’t do it right now.”
“to? Money is an issue right now!?”
“Aslan is coming? The same Aslan who destroyed the two sword masters is on his way!?”
“If you don’t like it, turn it off. I will be alone.”
The woman looked toward the gate where Aslan was coming.

“Welcome, Grand Commander. It’s an honor to see you again!”
The lord of Ronan Castle, Cedric, greeted me with the knights in advance.
Following his guidance, I went into the city, and there was no room to set foot in the crowd of people who came out to watch.
“Wow!!”
“Aslan!!”
“He is the commander of the Air Division!!”
Aslan’s popularity skyrocketed here as well.
Why does everyone like this guy?
However, even if he thought so, his actions on the outside were quite the opposite.
Some of Aslan’s bravado and infatuation boil over, but since I’m just a human being, I couldn’t help but feel good when people liked me like that.
‘At times like this, it’s fortunate that there is a bluff.’
If I had just smiled and waved like an idiot, I would have looked really stupid.
I liked that Aslan’s bravado deterred such behavior.
“What a great man!”
“Make our kingdom great!”
There was anxiety that a trickle might come and attack at any time, but I couldn’t stop this bravado once I started to indulge in it.
It seems like if you want to kill somewhere, kill it.
With a calm face, I confidently passed between them, taking their compliments for granted.
‘Still, I can’t really live without it.’
I opened my eyes and checked the information windows floating above the heads of the crowd.
It wasn’t that difficult to find out who was suspicious in this place because ordinary people didn’t show their strength or intelligence, only their names.
There were hunters and mercenaries who crossed 30-60 strength, but they were not a big threat. But,
[Rebecca]
Power: 30
Intellect: 80
“…”
yes. I knew it would be like this.
At times like this, there must be one named.
Fortunately,
‘Isn’t Rebecca an information dealer?’
It’s not like he’s here for some malicious reason.
Because she is a woman who buys and sells various information and also sells special items.
maybe you don’t know
Could she be selling a very valuable item?
“…”
But was I staring too hard?
Rebecca suddenly turned her head away from me, blushing.
‘I don’t think it would be bad to meet again if there’s a chance later?’
I don’t want to meet her right now, so I tried to get past her and continue on my way.
However, there was a voice that bothered my ears from a while ago.
“Is this guy laying down here without permission again?!”
“I’m sorry, mister. Please let me sell this.”
“what. A piece of stone like this? Are you trying to sell something you roughly picked up somewhere in the mountains? Who buys stuff like this!”
“Please allow me just once. I have to sell this to save my mother.”
“Get out of here right now!”
It was so crowded that I couldn’t hear what the knight next to me was saying because of the numerous voices.
‘for a moment. Could this be?’
You can’t avoid the ghostly radar of a deceased person.
Especially for people like me who only chase quests and rewards.
‘It seemed to be around here for sure.’
I paused and listened.
It wasn’t long before a child and a merchant were scuffled across the crowd.
‘found!’
Inside, I shouted Eureka and made my way through the crowd to the two of them.
“I looked at him saying yes, but this cheeky kid doesn’t dare to be afraid of adults… Huh?”
The man who had been bullying the child turned his head back when he saw the shadow casting over him.
“Ugh! Great, Commander of the Air Division!”
He looked up at me and backed away in horror.
“What’s the fuss?”
“ah. That, that’s because this kid keeps trying to sell things here without getting permission…”
The skinny body and clothes that seemed to be covered in rags were covered with black dust.
He was a child from a very poor family.
A normal player would have just ignored it.
But this
‘The hand of good deeds quest!’
As one of the hidden quests, if the player helps a child in trouble like this, he or she will get an item as a token of gratitude.
It is not known what kind of item it is because it is random.
It could be just a japtem, or if you’re really lucky, you might get something unexpected.
As this became known to the community, there was a time when players eagerly wandered around the city to clear this hidden quest.
‘But the hidden quest isn’t that easy to find.’
Maybe if you’re a good and pure-hearted player like me. Whoops.
just as expected.
[Hand of Good Deed]
-Please listen to the child’s request.
– Get 1 gold as reward.
In addition, they give you up to 1 gold as a reward?
I’ve been searching all over the capital of Eli Kingdom to find this hidden quest, but I couldn’t find it. At the time, I thought it was just because of the difficulty, but the gold was actually hiding in Ronan Castle.
Is the expression “it is dark under the lamp” used in such a situation?
“You don’t know how to show mercy to a child. Are you turning a blind eye to this child’s difficulties?”
“That, that’s…”
“When did I force allegiance on you?”
I spoke to the stiff man and the people watching us silently from all sides.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t have allegiance to this kingdom and to me. You don’t have to worry about enemy invasions or threats. That’s something I, Aslan, will solve.”
“…”
“It’s not that much I want.”
I crouched down in front of him and stroked his tousled hair.
“To share warmth with each other for each other. Seeing difficulties and not pretending not to see them. And the strong help the weak. This is what I wish of you.”
Even today, Aslan’s tongue was bluffing hard.
“…”
The noisy surroundings suddenly became quiet.
In that long, awkward silence, I spoke to the child.
“Aye. What can I help you with?”
“I need money for my mother’s medicine.”
“I see. But it would be against equity if I gave money for nothing in return. But······.”
My eyes twinkled as I examined the stones the child had displayed.
and among them,
‘there is. It’s real!’
Item was hidden.
I forced myself to hold back the laughter that was about to burst out and took out the money.
“You can’t just look at these precious stones and pass them by. I will buy everything here.”
“Yes? Me, everything?”
“yes.”
I ordered a driver to give money to the child.
The child’s eyes widened when he received the thick pouch.
“A-are you really giving me this?”
“yes. everything is yours.”
The child mumbled hesitantly while examining the money bag.
“I need the money for my mother’s medicine, I need the money for the potion to cure my illness, and I need the bread to feed my younger siblings…”
Have you ever seen such a greedy guy?
Write. It’s a bit wasteful, but I can take care of that much.
I winked at him and gave him another thick pouch.
“Wow! Thank you, Commander-in-Chief. Thank you very much!”
“Take care of your family.”
“Yes! I will definitely do that.”
“Then let me take care of these stones.”
It seems like they just went up some mountain and picked up pretty things, but there is no need to take everything here.
I’ve already decided what I’ll take.
‘This is it. It’s clear. You can’t fool my eyes.’
From the outside, it may look like an unsightly stone covered with dirt, but
[Lost Black Jewel]
-You can unlock hidden abilities of items.
It was a gem.
Black jewels too!
I was emptying my mind as much as I could because there could be trash japtem, but I never thought I would have such a windfall.
And this had the effect of unlocking the hidden ability of the item.
‘Isn’t that the sword I have?’
Of course, there must be a lot of hidden abilities in it.
Without hesitation, I immediately transplanted the jewel to the sword.
Then a bright light came out and the jewel was absorbed into the sword in an instant.
Seeing it, the people cried out.
“Um, that light?!”
“It is a divine light!”
“That must be Rahal’s light!!”
Originally, there was an effect where the light came out like this when a jewel was absorbed, but did it come out this badly?
But there was no bird to hear the hum of the people.
It was because a notification that a new jewel effect had already appeared before my eyes.
[The ‘will of the sword’ effect is applied to the brilliant Verak sword.]
