Solo Swordmaster

Episode #256. keep quiet and watch

“Anyway, formidable master.”

around that time.

Limon was laughing while carving a sculpture in a corner of the camp.

Just as Maia evaluated Limon as a demanding slave, she was equally a demanding master to him.

It was like that even if I just did a massage today.

What Limon must do and how faithfully he must do it for Libra to respond.

It was because I was testing through all kinds of methods and checking the way to get the scale weight and the force.

Of course, Limon also did his duty as a slave and kept the balance weight, but the result was a balance with a jingle and two balance weights left.

The scale, which was 5:5, tilted back to 8:2 in just two days.

It wasn’t that Limon was unfaithful.

The problem is twofold.

One was Maia’s sabotage activities, which were more tenacious than expected.

‘It wasn’t really a joke when I was in charge of the bath.’

I didn’t directly block Limon.

He did not tell them that he had assigned dozens of masters of the green dragon clan as watchmen and entrusted them with bathing.

If Limon comes unknowingly, he’ll be caught.

Although he frowned when he saw that he had broken through the watchmen with just his words and stopped by to attend the bath.

Besides that, there were many tricks.

Or give me a sumptuous meal.

Trying to assign an exclusive lady-in-waiting, etc.

I have tried all kinds of sabotage to keep slavery out without issuing contradictory orders.

Even Limon had to sweat a few times because the more he learned about the balance, the more sophisticated the operation became.

‘It would have been more comfortable if I had known my true identity.’

If the green dragon clan, blinded by resentment, attacked him with faults, he would have been able to earn weight just by treating him appropriately like a slave.

I never thought they would leave them as third parties and use them as obstacles.

It was a really painful thing.

But the biggest problem was something else.

“Are you sculpting again?”

“Oh, there is still time.”

While trimming a suitable tree to make a gift for Maia like a loyal slave.

Looking at Herman, who suddenly spoke to him, Limon turned his head slightly.

And he made a strange face.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“No, I want you to feel really healthy.”

“…I know that too.”

Herman laughed bitterly.

In fact, his appearance changed beyond recognition in just a few days.

Of course, the gray hair disappeared from the gray hair.

Wrinkles disappeared, skin tightened, and a face full of complexion. On top of that, a body that was about half a head bigger than before and even muscles that were tight and swollen.

Now that he looks like a young man in his 30s, his health is overflowing, let alone sickness.

“I knew that Quetzalcoatl’s medicine was effective, but I didn’t expect it to be this great.”

“…Well, the green dragon clan’s medicine is amazing.”

Limon’s answer was shaky.

No matter how good the green dragon clan’s pharmaceutical technology is, there is a limit.

I had no idea how many precious elixirs would have to be fed to have this kind of effect.

What if you valued the drug?

I didn’t know if the price would be enough to buy an entire country.

There were plenty of rich people who could use even hundreds of billions to extend their lifespan by just one year.

‘My master really seems to want to kill me no matter what.’

It was not enough to scoop up the elixir, so as Maia brought him to the battlefield and treated him himself, Hermann was now facing a full recovery.

That’s what caused his weight to go down.

Should I be happy about this?

Or should I be sad

Limon couldn’t help but feel the complicated feelings.

He didn’t know that, but Herman said with an apologetic expression.

“Even though my body has recovered this much, I still have nothing to say because I haven’t reciprocated.”

“Don’t worry, sculptor man. It’s not something you can do overnight anyway.”

Limon shrugged.

And he held out a hand to Herman.

“Thanks to you teaching me how to sculpt, I think this guy will soon recognize me too.”

“Are you already qualified?”

“Not yet.”

But it’s not too long.

Watching Limon speak while showing a platinum carving knife, Herman shook his head.

It wasn’t because he understood that the day Limon would get qualified through a carving knife with a subtle glow was not far off.

What Limon was mowing.

The carving of a dragon on a wooden comb informed him.

Unlike the beginning, Limon is now entering a state where he can create his own sculpture beyond imitation.

“I guess I have nothing more to teach you.”

“Why are you sorry?”

“…how did you know?”

“It’s written all over your face.”

Maybe it’s because I’ve been so obsessed with art.

Looking at Herman whose thoughts were revealed on his face, Limon smiled and added another word.

“Besides, I know a little bit about the mind of a teacher because I’ve also raised disciples.”

“At that age?”

“Because I am so full of ability and virtue.”

“I guess so.”

Herman smiled bitterly.

Limon was a monster beyond imagination when it came to his abilities, even if he didn’t know his virtue.

So he was sure.

He said that if he got the qualifications, Limon would be able to pass the 2nd and 3rd level exams at once, which made him struggle.

‘What a great talent.’

Limon has already caught up with himself in his prime.

The technology has already surpassed it.

After only a few days of learning sculpting, this was enough, so what kind of sculptures would he be able to make in a few years?

He was truly a dazzling young man who couldn’t look forward to the future.

…Of course, it was an illusion that he could have made because he didn’t know that Limon was an old monster over 900 years old, but it wasn’t a very wrong idea.

Limon, the immortal sword master, had plenty of time to hone his talents.

“Could you lend me that carving knife?”

So it was.

This is what Hermann inadvertently opened his mouth to say.

Despite that sudden request, Limon laughed rather than panic.

Because this isn’t the first time this has happened.

“Are you going to try again?”

“exactly.”

Anyway, if Limon got the qualifications, he wouldn’t have to sculpt himself, and there wouldn’t be any left over from the finished sculpture.

Also, Hermann Limon did not hesitate to challenge Hermann.

Rather, he willingly held out his carving knife.

“Take care, sculptor man. I mean, you’re looking forward to it.”

“I will try my best.”

“Hmm….”

I can’t confirm success.

I’ll give it a try though.

Looking at Herman, who spoke calmly, Limon hesitated.

Then, looking at him blankly, he suddenly asked.

“Anyway, you’re not going to give up, are you?”

“Of course.”

“Yeah, that’s enough.”

After hearing that firm answer, Limon handed over the carving knife with a satisfied smile, put the comb he had been sharpening into his bosom and left the place.

For a moment, I watched with a complicated expression on his back as he deliberately left his seat.

Hermann grabbed the carving knife.

As a sculptor who once occupied the world’s number one position before being a person trying to repay the favor he received from Limon.

In order to sculpt the most perfect piece of art in the world he has ever seen, even just once.

With the determination to create the last piece of art in his life, Hermann went on to carve the mass of light.

under the soft moonlight.

Butterflies and grass insects as spectators.

How many times have you failed over and over again.

Even so, how long has it been since you started sculpting with all your might without hesitation?

Hermann suddenly stopped his hand.

Then, while staring at the unfinished statue, he looked up at the moon, which had begun to turn red before he knew it, and murmured bitterly.

“Is it time?”

* * *

Yourself.

Limon narrowed his eyes.

It wasn’t just because the moon in the sky started to turn a pale bloody color.

A sense of heterogeneity spreading from hundreds of masters of the Green Dragon clan.

The mighty flow of psionics that amplified each other through the method and dyed even the sky red made Limon’s skin tingle.

“As expected, it is a blood-thirsty poison Rajin.”

“Why are you feeling new?”

“I was amazed. I really didn’t expect to finish this in less than half a day.”

Limon shrugged.

I wonder if it’s from the black dragon clan that handles telepathy.

Resonating psionics with other clans is not a simple task.

At least a high level, and that is possible only with the armed forces that have been training together for a long time.

Even so, since dozens of people can achieve proper resonance, the Seven Dragons Association has been operating an armed force composed of around 30 masters.

Daehyeol Cheondok Rajin was definitely a great strategy in that sense.

Even if the efficiency is a bit low, it was a great thing to make hundreds of psionics resonate.

Even without looking at it, I could guess how much the Green Dragon clan must have suffered in order to achieve such a feat in less than half a day.

‘Well, I can see the weak parts here and there… But is it still worth giving 80 points?’

As an experienced person who has destroyed the Great Blood Poison Razin several times, take a moment to observe the flow of psionics with the eyes of a professor grading student reports.

Limon nodded his head at the perfection of the formation method, which was not bad for a hurried preparation.

And asked Maia.

“Are you going to attack right away?”

“Don’t ask stupid questions. If you’re not going to move right away, are you saying you should at least look at the moon?”

“I’m saying this because I think it would be a good idea to bring in at least the poison dragon squad.”

“Unnecessarily large loads are cumbersome.”

Maia asserted that the Green Dragon Clan’s strongest military force, each composed of master-class masters, was their burden.

But Limon didn’t find it particularly strange.

I just shrugged my shoulders and added one more word.

“It should be insurance, though.”

“If it’s insurance, there’s something more useful here.”

“…Could that be me?”

“exactly.”

“Hmm, that is a bit unexpected. I didn’t know you would entrust me with such a heavy duty.”

Limon was a little surprised.

Of course, in terms of ability, there is no such strong insurance.

But it was unexpected that he was giving me this chance after he had been so disturbing as a slave until now.

“Don’t worry. I intend to use you as a very proper insurance.”

“…?”

For a while, he put on a puzzled expression at the words whose meaning was difficult to understand.

Limon immediately agreed to himself.

He thought that if he used himself directly, his balance would tip, so he was literally only thinking of using it as insurance in case of an emergency.

That’s why the moment Maia opened her bluish-white lips.

He couldn’t help but harden.

“I command you with the power of scales.”

“Ayy, even to the point of using a scale…”

“I forbid you to hold a sword while you are my slave.”

“…What’s up?”

Limon opened his eyes wide at the unimaginable order, forgetting even the respectful words he had been taking care of.

But before he could do anything, the white scale tattoo on Maia’s wrist was glowing.

Wow!

3 white weights disappear.

An intangible bondage that arose at the same time.

From long swords to daggers, great swords, and even kitchen knives.

Maia smiled coldly at the sword master who was forbidden from holding all the blades and blinked his eyes with a bewildered face.

“Shouldn’t insurance be like insurance?”

Too much insurance can be a waste of money.

Therefore, it is the right consumer attitude to take out insurance appropriately so that it is helpful only when it is needed.

Seeing Maia talking mockingly, Limon was dumbfounded.

“No, but isn’t this a little too much?”

Don’t hold the sword to the swordsman.

It’s not a cameraman without a camera or a chef with no sense of taste. What kind of joke is this?

Limon, bewildered and questioning.

Looking at him, Maia smiled coldly.

“Don’t worry. I will not rush you into the Forest Guild without the certainty of defeat.”

“You should say that you are certain of victory. If you say that, it sounds like you will commit to fighting the Forest Guild if you think I will die.”

“That’s what it means.”

“…it’s nice that you’re so honest.”

Limon sighed.

Of course, that’s not too bad.

As much as 3 weights were used, it became much harder for Maia to collect 10 weights.

But it wasn’t even a safe situation.

I could tell just by looking at Maia’s darkly sunken eyes.

Whether using LeeJay’s method.

Whether to realize the story of Tosa Gupaeng.

While she destroyed the Forest Guild, she was filled with the will to deal with Limon, and that these shackles were only the first step.

“How are you going to use me now?”

“Now keep quiet and watch.”

Maia said coldly to Limon, who had already expected but was scratching his cheek with an unimaginably blatant murderous intent.

And I walked slowly

“The power to destroy the Forest Guild is already full and overflowing.”
