Sword Whisperer

"…… If you're a Secondary Family, isn't that one of the nine great gates? ”

The glass came out of the furnace with the roasted pork chops and asked. Dolby shrugs.

"That's right. You're the tallest body I've ever seen in this town. ”

The fact that the Trainer of the Early Family came to town made the town noisy. It was not a disturbance in a good sense. Glass trembled as if anxious.

"What's going on? I've never seen it end well because I'm entangled with tall people..."

"Don't worry too much. We have our own guards to make sure nothing goes wrong. ’ '

Dolby said nicely. Van looked at those two and remained silent.

'Nine big doors.'

It was the owner of the world's highest lineage of laggards. Once upon a time, it was said that it was not nine, but ten, but more importantly, it meant that the tall man drove directly to this town.

I don't know if anyone needs help with that.

"I'm more worried about that guard. Don't get hurt on account of my kid. You know what I'm saying?"

Glass stroked my stomach and said, I haven't called it that much yet, but it's only a few minutes till the boat is in the garden. Stony smiles and nods.

"Of course. Don't worry about anything. It's not gonna happen. ’ '

And it was before the meal was over. Someone banged on the door and went out, and there was a guard's messenger.

"The commander calls. Dolby, Van. Both of you."

There was tension on Dolby's face, and anticipation on Van's face.

The time has come.

§

'' To summarise, it is simple. Until Confucius Cho Woo-ring arrives in the early family, we will be escorting him. ''

".... You say we are..?"

"It's not an easy task."

Aidan said with a nervous expression.

"I should be as polite as I can be. Even if you leave town. ”

The total number was six. Choi Woo-ring and one of his knights. Aidan, Dolby, Van, and Gord, one of the deputy commanders.

Dolby was a little embarrassed.

"Can I…… be part of the elite? ''

"Why. Why do you keep losing to Van?"

Aidan laughed.

"He's a monster. No one can tell you that you are weak when you lose to monsters. That Gord guy has a rare day to win, too."

'' No, Captain. What do you say? Because it's a battle, it's like that. If it were real, he would be... "

"In the end, you lose. I'm talking because I think about your body, but keep your words short. It's going to be long, so there's nothing good. ”

Gord scratches his back with an uneasy expression. Van clenches his fist and opens his mouth. It was a voice filled with heat that could not be hidden.

"Did you get an I.D.?"

"…… yes. A crest just came in and checked their emblem. It's true.”

"Then..... it must be dangerous. ”

It's dangerous. As if half of them met their first love, their hearts beat. Aidan looked at the class and opened his mouth quietly.

'Van'. I won't say anything until I have some speculation. But don't get excited. Excitement is bad enough for a prosecutor to be a friend. ”

".. yes, I understand."

If you have a 'yes' question, I'll take it. Dolby, do you have anything you want to say? "

"This loan…… can I refuse it? ''

Aidan groaned at the words. I thought I might. He didn't even know Yuri was pregnant.

”I won't force you. I definitely need someone to protect the town. But I need to get some resources. ”

"Hey, Dolby. Are you sure you want to fall in love? Maybe it's your first and last chance in life. Don't you get a chance to show your gratitude to the Master from the Great Gate? ''

Gord flinches with his beard. But Dolby was still an unwavering expression of hesitation. And it was then.

"Well, by this time, I'll have to tell you what the reward is for helping me. Wouldn't that help your decision? ''

Everyone shook their heads in a sudden voice. When I heard it, a wounded, black-haired man smiled at them at the door. He was a man who looked like his peers.

'Terrible.'

I don't know how deeply wounded he was, but the bandage around his trunk was covered with blood. In the meantime, Wu Liung looks at Aidan with a delicate expression.

"Master. Can I advertise for a second? What the reward is, what the risk is. ”

"…… of course. ”

”For now, let's start with bad news. The risk is obvious, but you could die. It's that horrible rebellion that's after me right now. I don't know how many. I could be chasing about five people, maybe a few dozen. Depends on how important they are to me, right?"

The stone rain moaned at the words. A rebel. Rumor has it they're stubborn and persistent enough. They were rarely to be found in their village outside the Central Region. I can't believe I got involved in this...

”Now let's tell a good story. Uh, um... yeah. Hey, there's a hesitant young man. Do you have a dream? Or what do you want to have...?"

"I don't know. I didn't even think about it..."

”Oh, yeah. Yeah, well, how about this? An endless expansive ranch and large villa. And countless servants. ”

Wu Ling smiled.

"I'll give you more than you can imagine. I will help you fulfill whatever you wish for. It is not simply because they helped the children of the Great Inquiry. You're on a bigger plate than I thought. If you help me, you may not just be a guardian..... but a great king. ”

"Me, Your Grace?"

”Oh, of course you might. Maybe not. Whatever you have to do, it's simple. All you have to do is track down the rebels and guide me to the territory of the Early Family. Well, let's make a quick judgement. Because I don't have that much time. Do you want to do it or not? ''

Dolby couldn't easily open his mouth. And it was then. Van quietly asked.

”You said earlier, I can make any wish come true. ”

"If possible on a line. ”

”I want to be the best inspector in the world. Can you help me? ''

Van takes that out and is confident that the opponent will not be surprised if he bursts a laugh. It was a familiar reaction. Even after his swordsmanship went down, the guards were busy making fun of him when he brought up the story.

But Wu Liung reacted in ways he didn't even think.

He looks at Van's face, and looks down at his hardened hands. And for the first time, I wiped his smile from the side of his mouth.

"You want something bigger than a rich movie. But..... good. It should be a wish and it will be delicious to help. You must be on your own, right? ''

"A lot."

”All right. We're going to live together from today, but let's do it right. You may have heard it, but it's good for a second. Three of the Seconds. ”

Uyung reached out his hand. Van said with his hand.

"It's Van. He's an orphan."

§

Dolby eventually decided to go with him. Glass was an unbearable expression because he was so worried until the end, but it was too bad to miss.

They ran with Dong at dawn that day. Compared to the horrendous rebels chasing him, it was a surprisingly peaceful path.

When I first came, I grabbed a butterfly like a dead body on a falling wagon, and now I feel like I haven't hurt anything.

"So, it's only been a year since you caught the sword?"

Uyung liked Van quite a bit. It may have been quite amusing to be lucky to have the best tests in the world from the beginning.

"Yeah, that's it."

"That's great. If you've grown enough to be treated like an ace by the Guards in just a year, well, there's nothing you don't understand about dreaming of the best in the world." The Gord next to Wuyung's words seemed to have a lot to say, but he didn't open his mouth. Wu Ryung laughed and said,

”You know, at the end of the day, you cut steel with a knife?"

"…… I've heard a lot of rumors. I thought it might be a rumor.... Is that true? ”

"Bull 's-eye"? Khh, because you don't see the real monsters. Between the real strong guys, it's nothing but a steel slash. If you're going to be the best inspector in the world, hmm... I think you should make an effort to carve a piece of it. ''

"Huh, mountains? ''

Even the Gods beside him put out their tongues. He thought this nobleman was making fun of them as a villain. It sounded so stupid to believe.

But not half. He was used to believing in stupid things. It's a stupid idea to be the best prosecutor in the world right now.

Just as Wu Liung liked Van, so did this peninsula boy.

They set fire to the camp as soon as the sun went down. Dolby was anxious about when the tracker would come after him, but Wu Ryung was about to become one.

'' They're nothing like our horses. You won't be able to borrow a horse from the village on the subject of the rebellion, and you'll run during the day and rest at night. Everybody better get some rest. Right, chief? "

”.. that makes sense."

”We leave again at dawn. Until then, sleep tight. ”

The first to stand on fire was Van and Stony. Looking at half of Lucas' shortsword, Dolby sighs.

"Aren't you nervous?"

"…… it doesn't work. Why not? ”

But I just don't want that tension. I may be thinking about doing it because I don't know what it feels like to fight for my life, but in some ways, I was hoping for the first time to get it right.

Dolby murmured.

”At the end of this mission, I'm going to beat up a guard or something. If I can have my ranch, as the great Confucius said..... I want to lie there with the glass during the day and drink at night."

"... you never told me you wanted to live like that? ”

"It's a meaningless story. Did you really think there would be a chance for a regular guard to live like that?"

"That's the same thing. So if I want to take a break, I can hang out at your ranch? ''

Khh, maybe I can set up a room for you. ”

"Oh, that's kind of cool. Please, let me have a rich friend too. ''

They both laughed as they killed. The meaningless talk continued until Gord's turn came.

'I've never slept with a knife in my hand.'

The day was still dark. Turning his eyes from the blazing campfire, Van quietly hugs Lucas' shortsword. Feeling the beating sound of the heart spreading slowly over the shortsword.

And it was that night.

Van had a dream.

It was Lucas' dream.
