Hero without Blood or Tear

There was no answer to what happened beyond the Rhine. At this time, it was useless to keep your hair tied up. Eventually, I left the vampires in charge and headed for the Mother Church in Valpur.

“Marie, I'm here. ”

“Oh! You're here! ”

Little Margareta sprints to Porre in a shimmering hue.

“You! You're a few days late! ”

“I'm sorry.”

“I took off my magic zipper a long time ago, but I decided to take a look with you and wait. I was so curious! ”

“Hahaha.”

Margareta unzips her magic zipper and pours it over the table as if riding it.

Waar!

An enormous amount of gold coins poured out from within. Margareta marvels at the flaming grip of two clenched fists.

“Ooh! Sparkling, beautiful! It's your favorite thing in the world! ”

“Can a nun say that? ”

“This much is mine! ”

Margareta pulls a bunch of gold coins into her arms like a child taking dirt from a sand castle. However, I couldn't take much because my arms were so short. It was a small price compared to what she had helped. So when I try to push it with both hands, it's rejected again.

“May I take some more? ”

“It was meant to be free in the first place. This is for bread and candy when you go to town later. The White Angela cut her snack fee saying she doesn't need any allowance. I became an abbot and became a tyrant. ”

“… please feel free to let me know if you need any snacks. ”

“Really? Are you an angel? ”

You know, it was so simple to please this little girl. A few coins would have made a connection.

The money from the magic zipper, by the way, is huge. It poured down from under the table. Suddenly, I felt like I was turning into a dragon's nest. That Phillip guy... I was so rich that he wasn't pre-emptive.

“Let's calculate roughly how much. Balor, I'll give you this Philipp's magic zipper, so put it back here. ”

We put the spilled doubloons back in the magic zipper and went into calculation. The total was 100,000 florins, with the exception of jewelry. It took more than two hours to count.

“Pre-election? I can't believe you carry this kind of money around with you. How expensive can a snack be? Are you trying to build a house out of candy? ”

Margareta looks bored. She's a frugal nun, so she seems shocked.

“If you want, I'll share it with you. ”

“Done. Balor, you're about to do great things." This money will be useful, so keep it safe. In fact, this is not enough to fight the Demon Prince. ”

“Thank you for your consideration. ”

After clearing the Doubloons and Gems, only a few letters and an old sword were left. Margareta is unmanned and interested in swords.

“An old sword. Beyond simple, I became obsessed. It used to be quite useful when it was just made, but now it's too old to use it. Hmm... There's a rune on the sword. Ljubl... Ljubl? ”

I've already figured out what the sword is. Ljubljana. A sword that is visible to Pfalz and named after the twelve Imperial noble swords.

Interestingly, it is no more than a very old knife or a very old knife. Even Margareta, who had a keen eye for the sword, did not recognize Ljublanya's secret.

Maybe Philip was, too. If he had continued to grow, he would have uncovered Ljublanya's secrets based on knowledge passed down to the family. But unfortunately, he died before that.

“That's odd. I know Ljubljana is the name of a 12-year-old sword in the empire. Why is it written on this old sword?" ”

“Marie, that's because the Ljubljana is right. ”

“What! Really? ”

Margaretta, surprised, began researching the sword. However, he lets out a groan and puts the sword back on the table.

“Don't lie to me, Balor. Magically camouflaged, I looked into it, but it wasn't. ”

That's a natural reaction. This is a sword, not a sword.

“You don't know how to use Ljublanya. Don't be deceived by the appearance. ”

“Huh? What do you mean? ”

“Ljublanya is a sword, not a sword. Do you think it's actually a sword with strong power hidden away from its appearance? ”

Looks like Margareta's mouth is all puckered up.

“Phew... This is different from what it looks like? ”

“That's right. This is a summoning tool. ”

I memorized a secret passage that went down to Pfalz's Premier Edition with Ljubljana in my hand because I thought it would be quick to show her myself.

“A light that crosses dimensions. A light that kills, sews, slashes, and kills. Take this sword into the hands of the one who hopes for you. ”

Along with the horse, it disappears into an old black place, revealing a dazzling longsword at a glance. Margareta is surprised, holding two fists, and then jumps to her feet.

“Oh-oh!”

Her eyes glisten like stars when she looks at the sword.

“Is this really Ljubljana?" ”

“That's right. It's stored somewhere in another dimension, so you can summon it with that old sword. It's a principle of switching. I don't know the details. ”

I picked up Ljubljana, who flew over the dimension.

Ljublagna

A sword that Balat, who was a preemie of Pfalz 200 years ago, received Goldilocks for saving 'neither hot nor cold’. A longsword made with a different level of skill. Never breaks.

Class S Magic Weapon.

AP +1,342

HP +310

Strength +120

Health +122

Charisma +110

Skills

Shoots out the sun's lance - powerful light.

Decodes the Light-Doxin of Purification.

It was a scam. It's just a bunch of good stuff, no restrictions. Normally a class S item would ask for something in return.

However, it could be said that the dragon gave it to repay its favor, and that it did not harm the owner in the least.

“A sword that never breaks is its advantage. ”

“Even if you run into a sword more powerful than this? ”

“That's right.”

“What a great sword.... Fantastic. It suits you well. By the way, how do you know the secret of this sword? ”

Margareta looked really surprised. However, it was difficult to answer every time.

“Everyone has a reason. ”

“Well, is that so? I don't think you want to ask, so I will. But Balor... you really surprise yourself every time. I thought I'd lived long enough, but when I met you, my heart was so shocked... ”

“I take that as a compliment. ”

Margareta's glance at me was the face of who she really was.

“Ho, are you a dragon? ”

“No, I'm not.”

“… well, don't. Then maybe... ”

“I thought you didn't ask. ”

Margareta's mouth is puckered again. It's much more prominent than before.

“Huh. Anyway, good for you. There are many types of powerful Demon Monarchs who wouldn't be hurt unless they had such special powers. This will help in future fights. Perhaps Pezamut will quickly regenerate if he doesn't cut it to the size of Ljubljana. ”

You're right, I've fought in the past. If it is not a Class S weapon, Pezamut can easily regenerate. It was Pezamut's specialty to pretend to be injured and suddenly regain his strength while praying.

A cunning villain with high intelligence. Make sure I don't fall for Pezamut's cunning tricks, either.

“There are more advantages. It's an old weapon, and no one would try to steal it. ”

When I returned the real Ljublagna, the old Ljublagna returned. Margareta's curiosity is unceasing and her gaze is unceasing. In the end, it was only after she tried to summon and dismiss it herself that she was relieved.

“Hahaha! Very funny. ”

“Now, let's look at the next one. ”

Then there was a bunch of letters. Margareta and I examined it calmly.

“It's Roelin.”

“Yes. It's Roelin. You've been exchanging hot letters with Philip. ”

I'm not saying it was hot because of the relationship. They were politically hot.

“Oh, my God, Roeline tried to push Philipp into emperor territory. ”

“Really?"

Margareta shakes a letter. It turned out to be true.

“Hmmm... I don't mean to be absurd. Roelin, the Demon King of Roses, has a very bad relationship with the Emperor. ”

Franz IV, Emperor of the current Human Empire, has been desperate to eat the Rosebud Demon King Roelin. The Emperor's office and Royalyn's Roseland were also attached, but the biggest problem was the money.

“She says she's been struggling with trade recently. It is because Emperor Franz IV has entered an economic blockade to pressure Roseland. ”

Nowadays, the glamorous art and horse-magic goods produced in Roseland were among the most popular in the Empire. Numerous merchants have headed to Roseland.

The Imperial Emperor Franz IV demanded tax, but, of course, Roelin rebelled. Why was the Human Emperor taxing the Demon King?

“Economic blockade? ”

“Yes. Our emperor was sick of the Rosebush, who lived next door, sweeping money away. Still. Hahaha! If you're trying to raise taxes on the Demon King, is the distribution to the Crown Prince a big deal, or are you a meathead? ”

Franz IV has a high chance of being the latter.

“From your perspective, you wanted to pluck something out of Roelin, who was making money thanks to the empire's demand. The long conflict with the Demon King has ruined the lives of the Empire. ”

Even though they were all killed by the Emperor, there was still room to be treated with that wealthy Roelin. Then I begged him to throw up some money.

“Wouldn't happen to be Roelin's character. How did you get into the blockade? ”

“That's the thing. ”

The way the emperor mobilized for economic blockade was really primitive. The emperor squeezed his head because he knew it would be useless to pass customs duties to a woman who doesn't pay taxes.

“I issued a private Napho invoice to the knight families near the Trade Route. The Emperor has spoken. The Merchant Guild associated with Demon King Roelin, or the Human Guild heading to Roseland, should be seized under Imperial law. That's why the knights are going crazy in the south of the Empire. ”

Jeez. I never thought blocking the emperor's economy would be this sophisticated. Horses are confiscated, so you can plunder as much as you want.

“There was one unusual one among those raging knights. ”

“Who is it? ”

“He claims to be the last of the Great Sword. In fact, everyone speaks with great swordsmanship. ”

As soon as I heard that, I clenched my fist. Because the last advance of the Great Sword was clear what it meant. That's the swordsman. means the Guardian class.

It was only recently that I learned of another Guardian's work after I defeated Philip, the Steel Precedent. As long as I didn't know the Guardian was involved, I knew I had to intervene.

“Tell me more. ”
