Dragon Poor

I stopped right in front of the black breast that just popped out of the air, but I wasn't relieved yet. The sword has not yet been picked up, and the routine in the eyes was the same.

Phew.

Kim Sun-hyuk prepared to be able to tolerate her whenever she breathed. It doesn't have to be, but if the swordsman changed his mind and put the sword out, he was going to strike back immediately.

But the sword didn't draw the sword, nor did it. I just stared at him for a long time with cold eyes.

Kim Sun-hyuk admired it small. The sword in front of me was confused as to whether it was the person he knew.

The old knight, who had no interest in noticing and only had a strong ambition, no longer existed. The deep sunken eyes could not see inside, and the expressionless face was as dry as that of a mineral.

It was not a matter of strength. The sword itself had changed as if it had become a completely different person.

And Kim Sun-hyuk knew that this was the real face of a man named Marek who had been hidden in the shell of the sword.

While looking at the search for a moment, the sword's aura, which was adding sharpness, seemed to dig through the price, disappeared.

“Let's sit down. ”

The voice of the sword that opened its mouth after a long time was so parched.

Fluffy.

It was a sword that seemed to stick a sword in his neck just now, but Kim Sun-hyuk didn't even remember anything like that.

“I'll ask first. How far do you know? ”

Kim Sun-hyuk replied briefly to the question of being afraid to sit down.

“How old are the people on every continent, north-east and south-south, who are balancing the world, and the people you're responsible for are much older than you look? ”

In his reply, the expression of the sword sank even further.

“And the duel you hung yourself from was nothing but a bluff, and I know from the very beginning that you weren't interested in fighting. ”

The world refers to the sword as a knight madman, a man who does nothing to prove his sword.

And now, Kim Sun-hyuk was saying that it was all just an illusion.

“All you wanted was a closer look at what kind of man I was. And if I thought I was in danger, wouldn't you have taken it away from me? ”

Surprisingly, the sword did not deny his words.

“If you think you know all about the rough stuff, that's fine. ”

“I think so. ”

The sword spoke slowly, leaving Tum for a moment.

“I won't ask who I heard it from. The name of the tuner in the first place is only her if it's an old being pushed to the back of the world, or a dusty name that used to be called, or an old one that might have been in a relationship with you. ”

The sword seemed to know about the dragon.

Even though everyone in the world did not believe in the existence of the dragon, Sword said with confidence as if he had seen the dragon himself, and Kim Sun-hyuk took it for granted.

Given the identity of the tuner I heard from the dragon the night before, it was no surprise that I knew there was more sword than that.

“Do you know what it means to have the Earl of the Mansk as my successor? ”

Kim Sun-hyuk nodded.

“And now you want her to be my heir? ”

The voice of the sword contained a strange deep echo, so it felt even heavier.

Instead of answering the sword's words, Sun-hyuk recalled the conversation he had with the dragon the night before.

* *

“What is this swordsman? ”

Kim Sun-hyuk asked the dragon several times about the identity of the sword. It was because the dragon's voice seemed to know the identity of many secret old knights.

[Since beings like me have been pushed outside the boundary, there have been those who have corrected the world's large and small distortions.]

I was just curious about the mysterious old knight. But the dragon's answer was completely different from what he expected.

[A bunch of metal prepared by the world to reverse the tilted scale to one side, finally equilibrating, and only part of the scale.]

It was about the great truth that sustained the world.

[At times, even emperors of empires can slit their throats, but they are contradictory beings who cannot be involved in the world by themselves. Thus, the wise man of the world who does not lose control in any case is the coordinator.]

And Kim Sun-hyuk was able to find the answer to his problem in the dragon's words.

[Nothing in front of the noble duty of the coordinator will lose its value, because the duty of the coordinator is more important than anything else.]

* *

“I'll ask you again. Calm down. Something you want. ”

Waking up from a dry voice, Kim Sun-hyuk replied without hesitation.

“A new destiny for Julian frees her from all existing rolls. That's what I want. ”

He was already convinced that it was the only way Julian could escape the harsh fate of a mercenary.

Seeing him like that, the sword frowned. It was the first facial expression I saw since I showed my face.

“I cannot escape the East. If the Earl of Mansk is to be my heir, then so is she. ”

“I know. ”

It was better for Julian to leave the eastern continent than to die at least by his own hand.

“And in the future, she won't be able to influence the world by her own will. ”

“I may be selfish, but I just don't want her to be against me. ”

Kim Sun-hyuk's face was completely dark, but there was no turning back the decision.

The sword has not spoken for a long time. I just stared at him.

“Whew.”

How long has it been?

The swordsman takes a long breath and rises from his seat.

“I accept your terms. ”

The opponent accepts his request, but Kim Sun-hyuk doesn't smile.

“Keep in mind.”

I looked at him and warned him coldly.

“Marek Schneil Roahim, the Duke of the Empire, has spent his entire life realizing he can wield only one sword freely, but Marek, the tuner, has more. And I, as a tuner, intend to face you in battle. ”

Swordsmanship distinguished itself from itself as a manipulator to a creepy extent, and made it clear that his demands belonged to the manipulator, not the Duke of the Empire.

“Don't think of the tuner's sword as a shield for you if you can't get involved in the world. I've learned enough to blindfold the world for a while, and I'm willing to pay if I have to. ”

It was a warning for the swordsman to fix his mind if he ever came to himself uneasily.

“I'm getting ready. ”

Kim Sun-hyuk gave a firm expression to confirm once again.

“During the duel, the Earl of Mansk will give you an answer. If she didn't want to, there wouldn't have been a conversation today. ”

“I've already sent you a letter, and you'll hear back soon enough. ”

The sword frowns for a moment, then leaves.

[Maybe he's not taking his fate lightly.]

He alone spoke the dragon man.

[Nevertheless, do you intend to force her fate as a tuner?]

How many times has the sword asked the same question, the dragon.

“At least it's better than dying. ”

He also gave the same answer this time.

[If you really want to do this, I won't get involved.]

He asked, with the same voice as sighing.

“If you really cooperate, the fate of the killer will be lost, right? ”

[Since the balance of the world is never set aside in one direction, if things go your way, the fate of the enemy will be nowhere.]

After hearing the dragon's answer, I was not happy at all because I knew that no matter what choice I made, I would eventually regret it.

But now there was no way.

The courageous and merciless hostility to each other was an instinct that was no different from that of a snake eating a frog and a wolf eating a pig.

And in the end, it was Julian who was being eaten. She hasn't awakened to her full power as a killer yet.

“What's going to happen now that this is happening before the final exam, anyway? ”

Removal of the mercenaries was the last test that proved itself as a courier. However, if Julian becomes the coordinator and deviates from his original destiny, the murderer no longer exists. The result of the trial was unknown.

[I don't know.]

The dragon said he didn't know if another adversary, not Julian, would be born, or if he or he had any unthinkable consequences.

“Whatever happens, you'll have to wait a little longer. ”

[Since the time has ripened, the wait will not be long, even if it is longer than expected. I have waited for a thousand years, but it will not wait a little longer.]

The dragon, who thought it would be a long way off for his pet to make an arbitrary decision, was surprisingly stubborn. It was fortunate.

If he jumped to the dragon in this situation, he would have to be really difficult. Perhaps the dragon knew it too, so he put it all down.

[You have other things to worry about.]

“I know. ”

Kim Sun-hyuk showed his face in the words of the dragon.

Now, as a tuner, winning the battle against Marek was the most important thing.

* *

After several days of sending the letter through the Asha Trail, Julian gave no answer.

Even before accepting the fate of the sudden encounter of a mercenary, another destiny came along, so it couldn't be decided.

Kim Sun-hyuk waited quietly for her to make a decision, and fortunately, the sword also did nothing until she answered.

Another day passed and another day passed.

“Your Holiness, the news has reached the Imperial Court of Magic. ”

“Magic expertise? ”

He tilts his head in the words of the Guardian Knight coming from outside the gate. I couldn't think of anything else to say to myself as the imperial court even used magic expertise.

After seeking permission for a moment, the Knight of the Guard opens the door.

“Here you go. ”

“Hmm."

I checked the specialty the knight handed me, and it wasn't the only specialty.

One was sent from the Imperial family, and the other from far central Astoria.

Among them, Kim Sun-hyuk read the specialty sent from the Imperial family. I was worried something might have happened to Ofelia while I was away.

[Since the Grand Duke left the Eclipse, a two-way communication request has been received from the Church. However, due to the absence of the Grand Duke, no communication has been made, and since then, we've been sending out specialists from the Parish. I hereby attach the full text of the Church separately.]

But fortunately, the expertise only included everyday greetings and the sudden delivery of expertise.

The problem was the specialty sent from the state.

[Sir, I've been trying to reach you, but you weren't there.]

It was like texting from the other side of the world, but with a nagging tone. However, he could not laugh even after seeing this affectionate tone, and it was because of the professional content that followed.

[But I thought it would make me feel better to talk to my brother before I left. But there's nothing we can do about it.]

Kim Sun-hyuk's expression was stiff.

[Let's go get that Demon King. Good luck.]
