Swordmaster Healer

Chapter 77 Destiny, Not Coincidence (1)

Early in the morning, Seong-jun woke up from his sleep and put on a ‘warm prayer’ priest's uniform.

Finally, after checking the items such as equipment and scrolls, he resolved breakfast at the inn restaurant. Then I left the inn and took a step somewhere. There was no difficulty in moving whether the destination was set or not.

- We're on our way to the square. Are you trying to use the Warp Gate?

In general, a city square has a warp gate connected to another city in the same province.

Since it is not connected to other local cities, it is necessary to use the 'road’ to cross the border, but the warp gate was a convenient device.

“A secret vault in the Royal Library in the heart of Terencia. I remember there was a Riodin crystal there. ”

Seong-jun stumbled upon his memory and answered Lischevalt's question. I knew the information because I was a knight of the Brigades in the past who used to protect the confidentiality of the archives.

From what he knows, the Riodin Crystal was rarely moved to the vault, so it is still likely to be in the secret vault beneath the Royal Library.

- What was the security detail?

“Just because it wasn't a military facility, where ‘Riodin's Crystal’ was, there were a few knights guarding it. ”

- We can handle this quietly.

“The problem is then. Of course I'll use the comeback stone. ”

Noticing that the Riodin Crystal is missing, around the time when patrols are enhanced, Seong-jun returns to Earth with a return stone.

Even if the lord frees the soldiers, they won't be able to find Seong-jun who disappeared like a ghost.

- Plaza.

After a busy walk, I arrived at the square. With a forged identity card, you're not worried about using the Warp Gate. As I approached, the manager greeted me with a bright smile.

“Welcome. Do you mind if I check your ID for a moment? ”

The caretaker reaches out his hand. Seong-jun nodded his head and handed over the fake identification card.

“No problem. Where are you headed? I'll set it up for you.”

Since it was an elaborate counterfeit identity card, the custodian had no doubt.

“Downtown Terencia. ”

“I finished setting up. We wish you a pleasant journey to the heart of Terencia. ”

At the end of the caretaker's words, Seong-jun moved on. A pure flash strikes him, frightened to enter the Warp Gate.

Since it was already a lot of experience in his previous life, Seong-jun calmly entrusted himself to the magical power of the Warp Gate.

Shortly after, I recovered my whitened vision. He comes down from the Warp Gate.

“Welcome to the heart of Terence. ”

The manager in uniform welcomed Seong-jun. An armed knight is standing right next to the caretaker holding the flag of the Marquis of Terencia.

Seong-jun quickly moved his eyes and looked around. A short time ago, the worst thing that happened to the city of Abenhal was attacked and the lord lost his life. That's why there were armed forces stationed all over the square.

“Well done. ”

Seong-jun walked out of the warp gate and into the square with the most natural tone.

There were a lot of people. Soon after, it was easy to blend into the crowd.

- Are you ready to act now?

“For now, I'm going to go to an inn nearby to gather information. Once Riodin's crystal is removed and vigilant, we won't have time to act casually. ”

I also needed a place to use the return stone safely. Holding the room first seemed like a good choice.

- Excellent judgment.

Lischevald was impressed, too. Seong-jun booked a room at the biggest inn nearby. After entering the room first and making sure everything was okay, he came down to the first floor of the restaurant. As I sat down, the waiter came running.

“What would you like to order? ”

“Beer and duck roast, please. ”

Seong-jun ordered enough food to satisfy his hunger.

“Yes! Just a little longer! ”

The waiter responded in a bright voice and relayed the order to the kitchen. Although there were a lot of people, a plate of beer and grilled ducks was placed in front of Seong-jun before 10 minutes had passed since there were a lot of people in the kitchen. Seong-jun took the beer to the entrance and used magic around it to strengthen his hearing.

“Did you hear that? Rumor has it that the man who killed Earl Abenhal is the White Devil. ”

“I heard that, too. That's why some of the local troops are in town. ”

Most of the topics relate to the attack on the city of Aben and the loss of the lord's life. Seong-jun focused on their conversation.

Shortly after, all the Terencia provincial troops had been summoned and some had entered the city and had been stationed in an emergency.

- Few people are talking about the war against the Royal Alliance. It looks like your information is being controlled.

Lishwald said the same thing to Seong-jun. He nods instead of answering. I wanted to tell you about the war, but I wasn't in a hurry right now, so it was time to find out more.

- I think it's okay to move into a corner.

Not a bad idea. Seong-jun moved to the corner with a plate of roasted ducks and beer. And it was a moment to draw up magic to enhance your hearing.

Life poured out.

‘Who are you? How dare you live with me.... ’

Seong-jun moved his eyes to find the source of life. Soon his gaze stopped. There were four men wearing hoods.

‘That's suspicious.’

It was as common as pressing on a hood. However, it bothered me that I had to live in fear of using magic. Not only that, I'm not sure, but I feel a connection that doesn't allow sound to leak out around them. It was also quite high quality.

Although I was not an expert in magic, it was still a minimum high-rank magic when judged by proficient Seong-jun.

- I think he was talking. Wouldn't you prefer to stay out of the way?

Lischevald said cautiously. Before taking the Riodin Crystal, Seong-jun shakes his head, avoiding attention.

“Life is too rich to ignore. ”

This was a taunt. You'll run away from here. That was unacceptable to Seong-jun's pride.

"You've lived this long and you're fine"? What the hell happened to him? ’

The man who sprinkled life on Seong-jun thought. He carefully looks around, placing his hand on the sword hanging from his waist.

Then he opened his mouth, casting his gaze at his companion who was sitting next to him.

“Ripelsmann. My life doesn't work. ”

“Looks like I've been compromised, too. I don't think it's normal. ”

Ripelsmann bites his lip slightly with a serious look. His gaze was on the one sitting in front of him.

Judging by her small figure, she was clearly a woman, and a sheet of gold peered under the hood. He was wearing a mask to hide his identity.

“We found the Great Wizard's Seal, and we even got the lives of the elite knights of the Royal Society. So what do we do now? Lord Erina.”

Surprisingly, the masked woman was Erina. She takes her hand with a sword around her waist.

“What do you think the chances are of them hearing our story? ”

Erina asks in a very small voice. Liefelsmann stretched out five fingers instead of an answer.

“Half a chance.... ”

I didn't have much to worry about. She drew her sword and threw herself at Seong-jun. The blade was filled with blue orbs and scattered light.

- Joo-gun!

“I know! Transform!”

Seong-jun suddenly wielded Roel, who had become the shape of a sword. Likewise, there was a blue error. As the two swords collide, magical debris protrudes from all sides.

“You stopped the sword from attacking? ”

“What a lie! ”

The two men who pressed the hood were appalled. Ripelsmann shuddered for a moment, but then calmly cast the attack magic.

“Gaaaahhhh!”

“Run!”

People quickly got out of the restaurant after realizing that they had been stabbed. Meanwhile, Seong-jun and Erina exchanged swords without rest.

The 80% coordination rate of Seong-jun faced Erina with the title of the current sword without any retreat. The two men continue their battle so urgently that the Grand Wizard Rifels, as well as the other two, were unable to intervene.

‘This sword... ’

‘It's familiar…… how to attack……. ’

The more times I exchanged swords, the more I tried to awaken the memories of my sleep deep in both of my hearts.

Erina!

Rowkel!

A name one man had forgotten. A name the other person will never forget.

Two names permeated the hearts of two people. The moment they came to mind, they stopped swinging their swords at each other at the same time.

“Are you…… perhaps…. ”

She doesn't finish. The wall collapses and the voice is buried. Armed knights arrive before the dust settles.

- Terrencia County.

Lischevald reported.

“Sir! We must retreat now! ”

“Ha, but……. ”

“Ser! You know the imperial tactics, don't you? They'll be here any minute! ”

Erina hesitates, but Riefelsman continues to insist. Eventually, she had to make a move.

They make a breach and escape first. Now there were only Seongjun and about 20 knights left in the restaurant.

“You're already surrounded! ”

“Drop your weapons and surrender! ”

The knights warned me, but Seong-jun didn't give up his weapon. Rather, I just pulled my mouth up and let out a cold smile.

“Will the Royal Library be enough...? ”

Lischevald opens his mouth with a smile on his own words.

- That's enough.

You swing your sword.

“Rrrrgh!”

“Ahhhh!”

The knights scatter their blood. Over 20 knights quickly turn cold and become corpses.

After eliminating all the enemies in the cafeteria, he throws himself out the window. A shattered glass splits all over the place.

“He's escaped! ”

“No magic support yet? ”

“Siege! Deploy the siege! ”

The Knights and Soldiers of the Terencia Region are on the move. But there was no Seong-jun there already.

“Where have you gone? ”

As local military officers were exploding, Seong-jun was running towards the Royal Library in secret.

There were armed forces stationed all over the road, but most of the way to the Lordship was through there. There are only a handful of troops stationed near the Royal Library.

Of course, he decided that he would go after the lord, just like he did when he attacked the city of Aben.

- Royal Library.

Lee said, Seong-jun looked around. The armed forces guarding the library were only a handful and not very high quality.
