0.01 Second Sword Master

1 Second Sword Master Episode 7

“My proud knight, Aslan. You have raised the honor of our kingdom.”

King of Eli Kingdom, Rivert.

His fat body looked serious enough not to be covered by the king’s cloak.

“Eat and enjoy. You deserve it.”

I smiled and pretended to raise my glass, but I didn’t drink.

because,

‘It’s disgustingly tasteless.’

Because the alcohol didn’t suit my taste.

To begin with, I wasn’t very good at drinking.

Sometimes people say that alcohol tastes sweet, but every time I heard that, I wondered if that nobleman had a problem with his tongue.

Whether it be beer, soju, or even expensive liquor, I had never thought that alcohol was delicious.

It seems that even if the body changes, the taste does not change.

The only good thing is that all the dishes are meat dishes?

“Uhahahahaha-!”

“now. Everyone have a drink!”

As with any drinking party, there are in-laws who can’t fit in and there are in-laws who can lift the mood.

There were also people here who were working hard to liven up the atmosphere of the banquet.

The most notable of these is

[Raul]

Power: 55

Intellect: 65

It was Raoul, the king’s cousin.

I let out a sigh at the poor ability level.

That guy has higher abilities than me.

Aslan, how much shit is this guy?

“ruler! Attention everyone! Let’s raise a glass for the main character of today’s victory, Grand Knight Commander Aslan!”

“Right!”

“For a new sword master!”

“for!!”

On this day, everyone raised their glasses in unison, regardless of culture or martial arts.

Normally, it is known that the relationship between civil servants and military officers is awkward, but all such conflicts seemed to disintegrate at drinking parties where they ate and drank together.

“To think that our kingdom’s sword master was born!”

“It’s an infinite honor!”

If they find out my stats, they will probably go black.

momentary brilliance.

There’s nothing to see other than that.

Aslan is no match for a guy like Raul.

How pitiful is this.

‘Damn it. How long do I have to stay like this?’

Like them, I was not enjoying this banquet.

Originally, he had a strong temperament, so he didn’t go out to a drinking party like this, and he didn’t seem to talk loudly at a party like this, saying that due to the nature of Aslan’s character, he had to keep his dignity.

So it was when I was bored watching them play and eat with each other.

“Standby division commander. Aren’t the banquets fun?”

Raul, who hadn’t even known when he had arrived, sadly filled my glass with alcohol.

Earlier, I deliberately left my alcohol elsewhere and had an empty glass, but this guy refilled it at will.

Insa is going over there and playing around.

“I heard about it. You captured a talented commander named Aaron and told him to give a lot of money to Halaz Kingdom, right?”

I don’t know why this guy suddenly came up to me and pretended to be friendly.

“But don’t you think that amount of money is too much of a burden in the Halaz Kingdom? Even if you are a competent commander. Maybe I should give up.”

Halaz giving up on Aaron?

It is impossible.

I smiled softly.

Then the king next to him noticed and intervened.

“Oh oh. Even if not, I was curious about that too. Aslan You set the ransom for the captives yourself, didn’t you? But I don’t know if the Halaz Kingdom is willing to pay that much.”

Were the prices that high?

no. How many times have I played this game?

I didn’t ask for a price to cross the line either.

It was just the calculation of the maximum that could be accepted by that side.

At least my calculations rarely went wrong while playing the game.

It is not for nothing that I have heard that he is a deceased person.

“Don’t worry too much. It will work out for you.”

“Hmm. yes. Our lieutenant division commander must have thought of something else.”

“hahahaha. I bet it is. Well, now that the banquet is in full swing, why don’t you stir up the excitement here? King.”

“Raoul. Isn’t that your specialty? Feel free to do whatever you want.”

Raoul went downstairs to the knights, politely bowing to the king.

I looked at his mean back of the head.

Raul.

The reason I remember that crazy character name was because of his characteristics.

[Ambition] [Betrayal]

Ambition is a trait that can be both good and toxic.

Ambition becomes an important driving force that expands and strengthens one’s strength or influence. However, when it is excessive, it can lead to reckless actions and produce bad results.

that it is a double-edged sword.

However, Raul had one more characteristic called ‘betrayal’.

‘It’s like the stigma of a character you should never trust.’

In this game, there are characters you must have or be friendly with, and characters you must stay away from or kill.

Avoiding interaction altogether is also a way, but Raoul always fell in the negative on this list.

This is because he has ambitions that do not match his abilities, and he has the characteristic of first seeing betrayal, no matter who the opponent is.

Just like Lu Bu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he stabs my parents, siblings, and the lord he serves without hesitation.

Therefore, characters with the ‘betrayal’ trait, such as Raul, must be filtered out unconditionally.

“Now is the time.”

He raised his glass and spoke to the congregation gathered in the banquet hall.

“Shouldn’t we have to decide who is the best drunkard in the kingdom?”

As Raoul clapped his hands, the attendants came in with taller bottles of wine.

The king and his servants exploded the flagship and looked down at the wine that was filled in it.

“Anyone who wants to participate can participate. A golden opportunity to receive the honor of becoming the greatest lord of the Kingdom of Eli and a reward bestowed by the king himself!”

“I will participate!”

“I will participate too!”

It seems the same wherever men show their pride in strange places.

They each brought a glass and came forward.

Except for a few older knights, almost all of them seemed to be participating in this competition.

“It wouldn’t be fun if we did it on our own. How about this? There is one attendant who can vouch for me as the greatest lord of our kingdom. Do you think it would be more fun to have him participate in this competition?”

“great!”

“Come on, everyone!”

The cheerful laughter of the knights was also brief.

When a man twice as tall as the others came inside, everyone glared at him, swallowing dry saliva.

[Crepe]

Power: 75

Intellect: 30

With a military strength of 75, it was one of the few strong people in our kingdom.

Did Raoul have such a guy as an attendant?

Already from that body and aura, the knights seemed intimidated.

This confrontation seemed obvious.

By the way,

“The captain of Aslan’s Air Division.”

Raoul started to provoke me with a sinister smile.

“I’m sorry if the main character of today’s banquet falls into a place like this. You, the 7th sword master on the continent, won’t you avoid this confrontation? How are you? Trying to get excited together.”

It was a childish provocation.

Of course, I would have just laughed it off.

the problem is,

“Hmm-“

This body was Aslan’s body.

The morbid bravado, which had been quiet for a while, rose up as if it had waited.

Flutter-!

When you wake up, flap your cloak,

“You shouldn’t let me down.”

When going downstairs, he did not forget to walk in a moderate and dignified manner.

I looked at the knights crowding in front of the bottle and said,

“I don’t even expect it anyway. It would be nice if it would alleviate my boredom a little bit.”

Sparks flew from the eyes of the knights who were stimulated by those words.

* * *

“What the hell happened to this, Horace?”

“…”

“And so is Nella Knight Commander. Didn’t you say that if things went wrong, you would step in and solve them yourself?”

Raul was frustrated by the two people who kept their mouths shut without saying anything.

“Tell me something.”

“It happened… so it happened.”

“Did it just happen?”

“Who would have known that Aslan would defeat Yuhan?”

“So you’re going to give up like this?”

It wasn’t just Horace and Nella who agreed to kill Aslan and rebuild the fallen kingdom.

Raul was one of them, and other people who were not close to Aslan were secretly gathering their strength.

However, that plan was foiled when Aslan won a great victory.

“I believe in you guys. Once again, if we work together and devise a plan, we can eliminate Aslan.”

“… is there even a need for that?”

“what?”

“It’s not that you don’t know how the ball feels, but how about trusting Aslan one last time?”

It was to the point that Raoul wondered if I was talking to someone else.

How could such a thing come out of Horeth, who hated Aslan so much?

“Hores. Did you eat something wrong?”

“You may disapprove of Aslan, but now he is the hope of our kingdom. If you try to remove him by force, you can’t predict what kind of bleeding will occur.”

“Isn’t that why you tried to get rid of it cleanly through this war? hope there? That Aslan is hope?!”

“Calm down. There is a point in what Mr. Hores said.”

“Nella Knight Commander. Even you!?”

“He is essential to the kingdom. So let’s talk about this after today’s banquet.”

“…”

Trusting Horace and Nella turned their backs coldly and went back to the banquet hall.

What did the writers who boiled their blood, saying that Aslan would not be able to eat, have changed so much in this war?

Raoul couldn’t help but laugh.

However, if Aslan dies, their hearts will change again.

he said to the dark.

“Are you ready?”

To his question, a woman wearing a hood cautiously approached him and answered.

“Whoops. I know what medicine you need most right now.”

The woman handed the small vial to Raoul.

Inside the vial was a transparent potion.

“A large family like the Beraks periodically spends a lot of money and casts spells on the head of the household to make them immune to poison. That’s why no poison can kill him. But this drug is not poison.”

“Isn’t it poisonous?”

“Yes. Even the most ferocious monster can fall asleep with just one drop of this medicine. If you give this medicine to Aslan, he will fall asleep without knowing the world. Then suuk-”

The woman pretended to cut her throat.

The corners of Raul’s mouth automatically drew an arc.

“I like it. Are you sure it’s effective?”

“If in doubt, write to anyone.”

“great. If it works, let me contact you again.”

“I will be waiting for the ball to contact you at any time.”

The woman received the money bag Raoul threw and disappeared into the darkness with a smile.

Raoul put the vial in his bosom and went back into the banquet hall.

At that place,

“Keep it off…”

His subordinate, whom he had proudly introduced as the greatest ruler of the kingdom, was collapsing without being able to pay for his size.

“I lost, I lost…”

He fell flat on the floor and fell asleep.

In addition to that, all the articles participating in this competition were spread out on the floor.

Among them, there was only one who stood upright.

“You pitiful bastards. To drink just this much and pass out.”

That was Aslan.

“I was just about to start. Is there anyone who can compete with me?”

He showed a terrifying amount of alcohol, drinking every last drop left in the bottle.

Could it be that you drank all that much?

Raoul blinked blankly.

It’s not just alcohol, it’s a very strong alcoholic drink.

But did you really drink all of that?

“Gong Raoul.”

At that time, Raul was shaken by Aslan’s voice calling him.

Aslan said while shaking off his glass.

“Are there any more hidden subordinates?”
