Solo Swordmaster

#628. What is this?

* * *

Enemy.

The moment you shut your mouth.

chewing soft bread

The thick patty that rolls on your tongue.

The exquisite taste created by mixing salty sauce and sweet gravy stimulates the taste buds.

The lettuce that crunches with each bite and the cheese that melts soggyly stimulates the texture and gives a sense of satisfaction.

Sour pickles and fresh tomatoes clean the remnants of the taste left on the tip of the tongue and stimulate appetite again.

one bite.

one bite.

another bite.

The squeamish cowboy who ate the hamburger like that.

Billy admired as he licked the sauce on his fingers.

“Of course, hamburgers in this era are art.”

In his lifetime, all he could do was put a chunk of minced meat between bread and top it with sour cheese even if he ate it a little fancy.

Fresh vegetables and quality meat are not enough these days, so cold coke is the default.

That the world is getting better

Billy, who was about to unwrap the new hamburger muttering contentedly, suddenly turned his head to the side.

“Why don’t you try some priests too? Anyway, since I bought a lot by scratching with a borrowed lady card, it’s okay to eat a few.”

That wasn’t an exaggeration.

As if showing the cowboy’s boldness.

Because there was a mountain of hamburgers in front of Billy.

However, the boy in military uniform who was sitting across from him did not accept the hamburger Billy offered him.

I just continued to eat.

Looking at him like that, Billy asked as if he was very eccentric.

“Don’t you get bitten if you eat only potatoes every day like that?”

“….”

“No, of course, it’s not that the steamed potatoes at Daesajeo are tasteless. If you’re a man, shouldn’t you eat meat to keep your stomach full?”

“…”

“…If it’s a priest, why don’t you give me an answer?”

Maybe it’s because I’m embarrassed to keep talking alone.

The boy didn’t answer Billy’s words as he scratched the back of his head.

instead of drooling

He pushed his chair to get up, put away the tableware, and left.

Suddenly left alone, Billy looked at the empty seat of the boy who had left ignoring him.

“Anyway, he’s a difficult priest to get close to.”

I’d rather miss my sister-in-law.

Billy grumbled to himself as he cracked and ate another hamburger.

Even though he was rebellious at his own pace, showing his teeth and growling every time he saw him, he gave at least a minimal response to the running repair.

Of course, it would have been the same as never eating a hamburger that he gave me.

“That’s right, I don’t have anyone to eat with these days.”

Joan of Arc and Gandhi are still recovering from their injuries in Africa.

Vlad hasn’t returned since he left for the Amazon with Suri.

Of course, Pascal, who knows, doesn’t show his face after being disciplined.

At least, even the normal swordsman pretends to see himself and ignores him, beyond the cold wind blowing.

Billy, accustomed to sharing sausages and beer with bountymen he met in the wilderness in his lifetime, had no choice but to sharpen his appetite.

Of course, after that, I dragged the bounty off and got the bounty.

“I’d rather have a meal with a lady… No. It’s not like that either.”

A thought that came to mind.

Billy dismissed himself.

The return of the Holy Lord, who left for the Amazon, was delayed, and the Wanderer’s hysteria was getting worse.

Even the most brazen man would get indigestion if he ate with her at least.

“Hmm, it would be nice to have a friend to eat with… Why do guys here argue a lot about this and that?”

Maybe it’s because the majesty of the Sword Master spread.

He scratched the back of his head, thinking of ordinary guild members who politely avoided even approaching.

Opening another hamburger.

“huh?”

Billy suddenly turned his head.

It was because he felt the waves penetrating the space from the rooftop with the sword master’s keen senses.

“Looks like the brother-in-law and sister-in-law are finally back.”

There is only one person who can appear beyond space in this World Federation’s stronghold, where layers of spatial barriers are installed.

Finally, Wanderer’s hysteria will subside.

With a smirk, Billy took a brisk walk.

To meet the brother-in-law who finally returned from the Amazon after a long trip.

But after a while.

Billy hardened.

It’s like a bomb hit.

with the whole body tattered.

Vlad is strewn about like a corpse.

And the sight of the running repairman who fell from the crack in space with the bloodied Vlad made Billy look bewildered.

“…what is this?”

At least I went to look for some flowers.

Why did one come back half-corpse and one unconscious?

Blink your eyes for a while.

Billy, who came to his senses only belatedly, looked at Vlad’s condition.

And he inadvertently rolled his eyes.

‘…is this wrong?’

I’m just barely breathing.

Even by the standard of a sword master with terrifying vitality, it took a while for him to kick his tongue at the condition of Vlad, who was still alive and who had already received a fatal wound that could not be regenerated.

Billy wrapped himself around the running suri and dragged Vlad’s leg with his free hand as he headed inward.

No matter how obvious it was to die, I couldn’t leave it like this.

But because he was so preoccupied with looking after the mortally wounded Vlad, Billy didn’t realize it.

A running repairman, unscathed, bloody from being tumbled down with Vlad.

on her stomach tattoo.

Platinum-colored gold appeared.

that it disappeared like melting.

It’s like…

– like thin ice that has begun to crack in the spring sunlight.

“So.”

Sit on the floor of the cave.

A woman who gazed at Limon.

Maia opened her mouth with a more pessimistic cynicism than usual.

“You mean you missed it after all?”

“It’s not easy to catch a determined and brilliant sword master. Even more so if it’s the sword demon.”

Limon shrugged.

I don’t know if it’s another sword master.

Vlad, who even penetrated space and escaped, was not an easy opponent to catch.

“It’s ridiculous to say that you can’t escape from the sword master.”

“Well, I still have a long way to go.”

If Vlad, who barely saved his life and ran away, heard it, he would have vomited blood again out of embarrassment.

Although he wasn’t in perfect physical condition, he was still far from overpowering the two sword masters and making them run away.

Because no matter who heard it, it was an absurd nonsense.

However, Maia did not laugh at Limon’s words.

As a member of the legislature who diagnosed him.

As a woman with whom I spent the night.

Also, as the person who saw the power of the carving knife.

It was because I could see that those words were not condescending, as I knew Limon’s condition better than anyone else.

That’s why she could easily understand what Limon said.

“Instead, there were achievements on the other side. For now, you have to be satisfied with that.”

“Did you test the power of that carving knife?”

“huh.”

“How are the results?”

“Well… half and half?”

“That’s a pretty vague answer.”

“I saw potential, but I still felt like I was narrowly lacking.”

I can only say sorry with my mouth.

Limon showed no sign of great disappointment.

At least, compared to the past when even a solution was vague, it was a big step forward just to see the possibility clearly.

Above all, there was a separate expert on this matter.

So, after saying calmly that this level of performance is enough for now.

Limon suddenly spoke.

“More than that, Doctor. Speaking of the pharmacist and the poison dragon squad…”

“There is no need to hesitate when it comes to the story of finding a corpse. The resolution has already been made.”

“No, I found it, but it’s not a body?”

“…were there any survivors?”

“It wasn’t just that there were survivors, but everyone was safe without a single wound.”

the moment I heard that.

Maia was silent for a moment.

It was because it was so unexpected news to her, who was prepared for everyone’s death at the point of using them as bait to prevent tracking.

But Limon could feel it.

The clear feeling of relief that appeared in Maia’s green eyes, which had always been gloomy.

“Looks like you managed to outwit the Holy Lord.”

“No, that’s…”

That’s why Limon rarely put on a puzzled expression.

He knew that from now on, what he was going to say would not only reassure Maia, but deeply displease her.

That’s something you can’t hide.

In the end, Limon reluctantly continued.

“I don’t think I was able to get away with it.”

“…What do you mean?”

“I found the pharmacist and the poison dragon squad, but they all passed out and were tied to trees.”

“…”

“There were even these things as a bonus.”

what you took out.

In other words, looking at the seal of the ornate cross stamped on the letter with the word [GIFT] proudly written on it.

As expected, Limon could only scratch his cheek as he looked at Maia, who narrowed her brows as if she were looking at trash.

“Hmm, I don’t know if my present was well received.”

walking ahead.

A woman in a court robe muttered to herself.

The old man who followed Johanna opened his mouth cautiously.

“His Holiness, are you all right?”

“Are you saying that you left Arbella-nim and the Green Dragon Clan as they were?”

“That’s that, too… but I’m worried if we can just step back like this.”

The Cardinal expressed his concerns frankly.

I have already heard that the Sword Demon and the Sword Spirit are being held back by the sudden appearance of the Golden Dragon Clan.

However, it was because it took a lot of trouble to leave them and leave Amazon on their own.

The platinum brilliance soared as if it pierced the sky at dawn.

If only they went back like this, how would the commander who lent the sword masters hold them accountable?

However, Johanna was carefree.

“If it’s the Sword Demon and the Sword Spirit, you don’t have to worry. They are people who do not need our consideration.”

As long as there are no abnormalities.

Vlad and the running repair won’t die.

If they go back first, it won’t be a big problem.

And if something big enough to kill the two sword masters would happen, nothing would change if they were there anyway.

So, the first priority is to get rid of yourself first.

After speaking leisurely.

Johanna chuckled.

“Above all, Command Lord won’t be mad at me for something like this.”

“…Do you really think so?”

“sure.”

What kind of personality is the Wanderer?

Those who know even a little, calmly say absurd things.

Johanna put her hand in the pocket of her waistband.

“As long as this exists.”

I’m going to go to the middle of the day.

What appeared was a large, beautiful golden color compared to the pouch.

Before Maia runs off with Limon and pursues them with Vlad. While checking the few lotuses he had barely picked up from the messed up lake.

Johanna chuckled.

“Even though it’s unfortunate that I only got purple flowers instead of millennial flowers, I’ll be able to make you a cure for the commander.”

As such, the effectiveness of the drug is also reduced.

You should take it regularly though.

So it was rather better.

Wanderer will have no choice but to be cooperative with her from now on, even in order to steadily obtain the cure.

Of course, the best thing would be for Vlad and the running repair to finish everything on their own and find the millennial flower and return.

This was not a bad result either.

“Honestly, it would have been nice if I could have even met the swordsman at this point…”

Johanna looked back.

If Limon hadn’t gone wild.

And if it weren’t for the surveillance of the sword masters.

The regret that she might have been able to contact and talk with the guardian spirit of mankind, avoiding the annoying gaze, drew her attention.

“It doesn’t matter if we postpone it to another opportunity.”

But that’s just for a moment.

stepping forward again.

Johanna smiled brightly.

The green dragon clan never forgets Eunwon.

What kind of expression will Maia, who owes her life to her close aide and the strongest armed force of her clan?

For a woman who had always heard quackery from her, just thinking about it made her happy.

at such a leisurely pace.

One of the absolutes of the present age.

A Roman pope who leads a church that has been passed down for thousands of years has moved through the jungles of the Amazon.

Deep in my heart, I swallowed a prayer that no one would hear.

‘Lord, please protect this poor lamb.’
