Reincarnation of the Sword Master

39. Guard Captain (4)

"Valvacca."

"Yes. One of the things that Asher did for me was the Belarusian territory."

Valvacca had already died twenty years ago and a doppelganger had taken its place.

"Asher may think what's strange about the disappearance of heroes."

"That's not true."

I know what it means. They are masters of a country, or rulers of a land. He or he is the leader of a group.

The warrior was the master of the country, and Dragon Slayer took the place of Count. Even the Hibans, who roam freely, are masters of the famous sword family.

Among the heroes, it was safe to be without one or two except for those who were not bound.

"Of course, a lot of heroes disappeared more than two decades ago, but those who disappeared at that time did a little bit of catching up. You can choose a successor, or you can set a rule that doesn't matter if you're not confident. But this time, he disappeared without it.”

Without saying a word, the owner of the group disappeared. Then what will the members do?

"We're both smearing and suspicious of each other. I've been working on it for a while. I don't know Let's see what happens.”

"…how many heroes have disappeared?”

Asher, who was listening with his mouth closed, slowly asked back. Arna laughed bitterly.

"Well, I can't even put it on my hands. The most influential are the warrior, dragon slayer, Goros, and Queen Le Penia of the North Sea. It must be like this.”

Asher's eyes narrowed slightly to the last name. Armenia sighed as if it was hard to hold out.

"The world is a mess right now. Few people realize it, but more and more will notice it more and more. How come the Empire is sowing... It won't last long.”

"Hmm."

What will happen? Asher tapped me on the knee with her fingers.

more than fifty years ago A time when the horse was overflowing and full of war. There were heroes then.

One by one, the heroes defeated the enemies of the world, sealed the horse to the far side of the world, and destroyed the existence beyond the darkness. The world could be peaceful because of the heroes.

But Ma came back, and the heroes disappeared. Then what will happen?

No matter how hard I think about it, I couldn't picture a very good future.

"This is the truth that the Empire is desperately hiding. Here's a message from Hiban. What are you going to do?"

Will you follow the trajectory of heroes like Hiban? Or would you go to defeat Ma like the heroes did? When asked that meaning, Asher opened her mouth quietly.

"Nothing."

"…what?"

"I'm not leaving to do something."

Asher said with an indifferent look. Arna looked at Asher with a confused face, but his expression remained unchanged.

When the world was in war in the past, he just silently wielded his sword. I've done my duty as captain of the guard, but that's it. I have done nothing more than that.

He did not seek to quell the Empire's war, nor did he seek a duel against the Knights for their honor. He did not walk in the path of the sword at the western end to prove the state of the sword, nor did he undergo the ordeal of the elf to train his spirit.

They did not travel to save the suffering of Maryong when he went mad, nor did they abandon all their places and go off to defeat evil when the devil took his command and burned half the world. Even when his contemporaries were widely honored by his friends, he just wielded a sword.

All he wants is a sword. I didn't mean to turn to anything else. You can travel around the world and meet heroes, and you can take down the spirit, but that's it.

His purpose has not changed in his past life or now.

"…you don't want honor.”

"I don't want to waste time on such meaningless things."

Arna looked at Asher with a shocked face. Soon he laughed and muttered in a despondency.

"That's what Haiban said."

"What do you mean?"

"You're the same person. He said he will not change no matter what happens. …it's very similar."

I didn't ask who was similar. The answer is obvious from Arna's expression.

She shook her head for a moment and soon smiled lightly. The solemn atmosphere began to slowly unravel.

"It's your choice. I don't mean to force you."

"Thank you for your understanding."

"No, the world is in crisis, so there's nothing more ridiculous than asking you to abandon your purpose. Well, I'm asking out of sheer curiosity. What are you going to do in the future? I won't be here forever."

"Day of Coming of Age. I'm thinking of heading for the capital."

"The capital…? For what?"

"The Sword Door."

"The door to the sword?"

Arna tilted her head. Asher groaned and exclaimed as if to understand what the word meant.

"Oh, you mean there. Why not? It doesn't mean much."

"It doesn't mean anything.”

Asher murmured at Arna's words.

"Is there no one who opened the seventh door?"

"Yes... as far as I know, it hasn't existed for more than a hundred years. No one has reached the fifth door, let alone the seventh..”

Arna wondered. That much, the place Asher said was a random place.

"How can I get there?"

"It's for personal purposes."

I couldn't open the fifth one. Then it's natural not to know that at the seventh.

It was amazing to think about it. In his previous life, he was not a sodmaster until his death. But even the Swordmasters had reached the seventh point. I didn't care much in my previous life, but now I had a question.

'We'll know when we get there.’

His presence there would be enough to solve his questions. Arna seemed suspicious, but she did not ask.

"The circumstances vary from person to person. Asher, I think you'll be able to reach number five.”

Arna laughed and talked up.

"Are you leaving now?”

"Yes, I'm the captain of the guard. I can't afford to stay long enough. Before that, let me make you a suggestion."

Arna's serious eyes met his. Her mouth opened slowly.

"I'm thinking of joining the guard. Don't you have any?"

***

"Welcome. Thank you. Lord."

"No, it's more of a nuisance. Yeah. Did you know everything you wanted to know?"

"Yes, I think it would be a great help."

"That's a relief."

Rebelok glanced at Asher, but soon turned his eyes. If only the two of you had talked about it, there would have been a reason. I didn't mean to be curious.

Goblin was tied behind Arna. Goblin, the sister of the same sister, laughed with a rope thick enough to be used for tying the sail.

"Kak. Goblin, aren't you too wary of Hana?"

"I don't care what you say."

Arna said with a cold face.

"You will be held in the Empire and put in jail. I'll never get out of it forever.”

"That sounds interesting. It's a child of a false elf. I have one prophecy."

Goblin smiled nonchalantly, though it was a sad remark.

"I will go back to the world under your hands."

"Bluff."

"You're too much.”

Goblin turned to Asher. He laughed and went on.

"Sending me to such a fake. That's too bad. It would be an honor to face death with your own hands, but to leave it in the hands of these false men.”

"Shut up and follow the winner."

"Yes, the loser has to follow the winner."

Goblin walked proudly, tied to a rope.

"Come on, guide me down. It's the first time as Goblin to experience a human vehicle."

"…it's really unique."

Arna shook her head looking at Goblin. She's an elf. I could see how strange that goblin was because I had experienced it before.

"Thank you. Lord."

"Yes, the monsters will show up. Be careful."

"Okay, then, Asher. The answer is."

Arna's anticipated eyes headed for Asher. Asher seemed to be agonizing for a while and shook his head.

"I'm sorry."

"I see….”

Arna murmured with a haggard face. a security suggestion I was a little worried, but I didn't mean to accept it.

I was going to live this life for the purpose of the sword. Even if the guards have a lot of training time, the job is a job. They'll eventually be dragged around.

a life born again after a long time I didn't want to waste so much. I wanted to put everything in my life in a sword.

'Not just that, but...'

Asher's eyes turned to Arena, who was disappointed. I can't believe I'm a subordinate of an old foster daughter. No matter how hard he was, there was nothing he could do about it.

"Then."

Arna took a piece of paper out of her arms as if she had been slightly agonizing over it. The guards in the back began to rattle.

Arna handed Asher a piece of paper.

"Here you go. It's a recommendation letter from the captain of the guard. With this, you'll be able to go anywhere in the Empire, except for the castle."

"…Thank you."

Asher took it with a sour air. It was a familiar style.

'I didn't know I'd get this.’

It was rarely given to him either. In fact, it was a letter of recommendation with authority just below the captain of the guard. It was only given to those who were really trustworthy, who didn't give it to their families.

I knew he was doing well, but I didn't know it was this much.

I'm just giving it to you, so you should be thankful. Thanks to you, I could avoid troublesome things.

'Oh, come to think of it, I keep getting things.’

He was given a wrist guard by Haiban, and this time he received a letter of recommendation from his adopted daughter. Asher felt strange and crumpled paper in her arms.

"Well, I'll see you later. Do you have two years left until you become an adult? You said you were coming to the door of the sword... I'll see you then."

The captain of the guard has left. The carriage pulled out of the village.

Rebelok drew his collar with a breath as if he had relaxed.

"Wow. So many things happened to me in this countryside. Good job. Asher. Take a good rest today."

"Yes."

Asher's eyes were directed in the direction of the carriage's departure.

He didn't tell Arna the whole truth.

He explained that there is a goblin with intelligence, human speech, and outstanding ability.

However, he did not explain to Arena what Goblin said was a fake. It was because it was hard to understand, and there was a possibility that Goblin's words were false.

'What are you hiding?’

And there was something that Arna also didn't tell him.

***

"Whoow."

Arna leaned back in the carriage. A rattling sensation came up on my back.

'Goblin speaking.’

Arna looked at the prison behind the carriage. It was worth bringing in valuable time. Now we'll have to go back to the Empire and dig up more valuable information.

“…….”

She raised my hand blankly. Her skin color on the lamp was brown.

When she was very young. Before the fall of the forest, her skin would be white like snow. Your hair must have been dreamy purple, not gray. It must have been a heavenly species that would not be biased toward anything.

But I don't remember. Her memory began after she met her stepfather. Brown skin and gray hair were natural for her.

I almost made a mistake.’

I almost said something I shouldn't have said. The vigilance was naturally relieved by the two so alike. She giggled and laughed.

"I'm not in a position to talk to anyone."

Heiban had been suspicious of being possessed, but she was also bewitched. But it wasn't a bad feeling. She was just a human daughter, not an elf. I was laughing alone, and I knocked on the door from outside.

"No."

"Yes."

The line of popularity has faded away.

She muttered to herself.

"Dear inspection."
