The Bastard’s Way of Life of the Returning Swordsman

Episode 74

Iljimae (一枝梅) (4)

It was then that Emil’s palace, which had been waiting for Theo’s severed head to arrive, began to stir.

bang!

Suddenly, the palace door burst open, and swordsmen came in all at once and began occupying the interior.

An ominous atmosphere prevailed.

“Hey, Secretary General!”

“Why did the director suddenly… … !”

The faces of Shibi and the butlers became contemplative and looked at Ed Troyban, who was in the center of the prosecutors.

But Ed didn’t answer and just stood in front of his twin sister in silence.

“What is this, brother?”

Emile glared at Ed with ferocious eyes as if he would not lose.

Ed said, holding out a paper in a dry manner.

“You’re not going to say you don’t know this, my Lady?”

“What is it?”

“This is an order from the princess without my permission and without permission.”

Emile flinched for a moment, but went out more brazenly.

“So what? What’s wrong?”

“The princess impersonated me and recklessly moved the agents of the Central Secretariat. That’s an absurd order to kill the 100-year-old dragon of the same family.”

“… … !”

Emil’s eyes widened.

Saying this in front of many people?

just as expected.

Looking around, the palace’s dispute over the contents and even the butlers’ faces became contemplative.

“What is this in front of the lower ones… … !”

“Do you have any awareness that your honor has been lost in front of the lower ones?”

Typical sarcastic tone.

Emile bit his lower lip.

“What the hell do you want to say!”

“Criminal impersonation. This is a serious crime that will never be tolerated, even by a royal princess. Don’t you know that since you moved the troops of the Sasaroi family, you could be accused of treason? In addition, did he even harm the Baekgap Dragon Base, which can be said to be the face of Ragnar? If the head of the family gets a report, he’ll be very happy.”

“no way… … Are you saying that you will report this to the head of the household as it is?”

“Why not? My life was at risk because of my stupid sister. Shouldn’t I live too?”

Emil’s complexion hardened, perhaps realizing the seriousness of the situation only then.

“Why are you so extreme! Isn’t that what happens when things go well? If the Baek Gap Dragons on a mission are wiped out, the charges will naturally fall on those who claim to be Black Skulls… … !”

“Isn’t it because the princess’s unlikely plan has gone awry?”

“What, what?”

“A little while ago, a report from Team 5 of the Baekgap Yonggi Corps arrived at the Central Office. A third force other than the Black Skull was discovered, and four of them were captured and are on their way back.”

“… … !”

“Do you know what they say by the way? ‘It seems to have a deep relationship with Ragnar. I will post a face-to-face report for details.”

“… … .”

“Are you aware of how stupid the princess has done now?”

rattling… … .

Emile’s hands trembled. complexion turned pale.

‘The plan… … did you fail? Besides being captured alive? how… … !’

Emile seemed to come to his senses.

Kyle’s face flashed in an instant.

A dictator who has lived together all his life, but has no idea what’s inside.

What if he finds out about this?

There was no need to think twice.

She, of course, will also try to blame her parents, Troy Van.

Neither plea will work.

Because Kyle is a person who thinks of Ragnar’s comfort and honor as the best.

“Oh, brother! Help! If it’s a brother! Isn’t there a way if it’s older brother! Yeah? Help this sister!”

One corner of Ed’s mouth twitched.

“Axion, I wondered why that child was so impulsive and stupid, but I think he resembled the princess.”

“Brother… … !”

“Princess, my stupid and ignorant princess, why did you do something so unbearable? Why did you say that you could have just stayed as a pretty decoration doll like you have been doing up until now, and then you could just enjoy the rest of your life and get what you want, just accept what Ed brings you?”

For an instant, Emil’s eyes sharpened.

I groaned and something sprang up.

“Are you asking because you don’t know! If only my brother had properly kept his promise with me! I would never have done this!”

“What promise do you mean I didn’t keep?”

“Are you catching me? Theo Ragnar! Even though you couldn’t kill that nasty bastard, didn’t you try to hug him!”

“her… … ! I don’t think I could do such a thing for that reason.”

“That’s it! Watch your words! Axion was everything to me! But since it is the enemy who took the child, it is natural for the mother to take revenge! with that enemy! Things related to that enemy! I have to rip, kill, and burn everything I want to protect my heart! The heart of this Emil Troyban! Axion’s soul! I mean, it’s going to loosen up a little bit!”

Tsk!

Ed clicked his tongue.

The madness in Emil’s eyes couldn’t be calmed down by persuasion.

“Why didn’t you think that trying to hug that enemy was itself a ploy for Axion’s revenge?”

“… … what is that?”

“Not just killing Theo Ragnar, but taking everything Ragnar has in his hands. That would have been the best revenge to soothe Axion’s soul… … Because of the princess’s foolishness, the last remaining plan was ruined.”

“… … !”

“The princess, has completely destroyed all the great works, this is what I mean.”

Emile couldn’t meet Ed’s gaze properly.

The kind eyes that always looked at her were so indifferent today.

contempt, disgust, bloodshed, cynicism. I don’t know if it contains such feelings.

But there was no emotion in that gaze.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Literally, mindless.

It didn’t even seem like he was seeing her as a person.

Only then did Emile realize.

That gaze was originally Ed’s ‘real’ intention to look at himself.

– That look definitely reminded me of someone.

The figure of the existence that dominated Emil’s heart and brain since childhood.

“Above all, the dragon slayer sword, which will be the center of the plan, was lost due to this incident… … My father will no longer think of you as his daughter.”

Emile’s complexion turned blue.

father… … .

The childhood trauma that I tried to shake off somehow, but couldn’t shake it, reared its head again.

“I’ll take care of the rest on my own. However, the princess will have to be satisfied with the canary in the cage from now on.”

“What is that… … !”

“Take them inside.”

“Brother! Oh my brother! Let go of this hand! Let go right now!”

Emil was taken to the inner palace with both arms forcibly held by the agents.

thud!

Ed looked around, not even looking at Emil anymore.

I saw the maids and butlers trembling in contemplation.

“Okay, Chief! Please, just save me! I’ll do anything you ask, please… … !”

At that time, the head butler grabbed Ed’s legs and stretched them out.

I had heard things I should never have heard, so I guessed what was going to happen.

“So, wouldn’t it have been better if I had served the princess properly by the side right away?”

Ed said while looking at the head butler with contempt.

“Kill them all.”

spatula, spatula-

Chow!

The swords of the agents moved busily.

A scream filled the palace, but it didn’t last long.

The palace was covered in blood in an instant.

Second Deputy Director Morgan approached.

“Everything has been sorted out.”

“Fill all empty seats with verified people. Something like this should never happen again.”

“John name! I will stick with the right ones.”

“And… … .”

Ed kept his lips shut.

Morgan realized what he was about to say and lowered his head.

“We will deal with all those captured alive.”

“It was unfortunate. Especially Sidra, I miss that friend the most. Tsk.”

Ed clicked his tongue and moved on.

‘Because of the stupid nephew and the younger brother, the rebellion has already become nothing. No matter what I try, Robert, I’ll end up playing in that guy’s trap.’

Ed remembered the image of the black dragon that had been holding his ankle in the dark for a long time.

Central Secretariat and Heukseol.

The two have been fighting in the dark over the center of Ragnar and the relics of the Great Dragon since a very long time ago.

Even though Kyle knew that, he just watched it quietly.

However, the counterweight that had been in a tense confrontation has recently completely tilted toward the black snow.

No, it would be more accurate to say that the operations carried out by the Central Security Bureau were stranded in every case.

Right at the center of it was a person I never thought of.

‘Theo Ragnar. Everything went awry after I started hooking up with him.’

click-

There was the sound of puddles of blood being stepped on at his toes.

‘yes. I had to admit it from the start. He was not a vessel that Axion could handle. It was a vessel against this Ed Troyban. It was my mistake not to judge it properly.’

The sharpness hidden under that young, handsome face made me wonder if I was really a fifteen-year-old even now.

‘so.’

Squeak!

After opening the door, Ed’s eyes sank deeply.

“… … From now on, I will treat you as my old enemy.”

With the return of Number 5, a rumor quickly spread in Winterer.

– Team 5 of the Baekgap Yonggi Corps returned from rescuing the hostages on a mission.

It’s a very obvious thing that wouldn’t have been a rumor if it was usual.

However, because of the matter contained in it, rumors grew.

– It is said that Seomho made the greatest achievement.

Seomho.

Theo Ragnar’s achievements spread widely.

Survival of members known to have died.

hostage rescue.

An unexpected enemy attack.

Counterattack and capture.

Not only was Theo heavily involved in the whole process, but it was also known that he had a close relationship with the ‘bald hammer’ slow gang.

-A bald hammer is a pretty famous terrorist, right? By the way, you said you had a close fight?

– Well, considering that rumors tend to grow, it’s amazing.

– I wanted to be amazing from the time I set a new record, but… … . her! Then, isn’t it just a training swordsman, not a real swordsman level?

-Is that so?

– I’ll take the test again. It seems that the time to be promoted to a real test is almost the shortest time. Hmm!

In the end, there was only one conclusion of the lush rumors.

– The growth rate of Seomho is unusual.

Considering that he was only 15 years old, that’s incredible speed.

While everyone is wondering where the end of that speed will be,

Because of this, people couldn’t focus on other facts.

The fact that Sejak might be present in this mission.

[Dragon Slayer: Balmung]

· Type: Broadsword, Mystic

· offense power: ??? (unknown)

· Wear conditions: ??? (unknown)

· effect: ??? (unknown)

*The item is currently sealed, so the information can only be read by unlocking the built-in mysteries.

Theo clicked his tongue lightly as he read Balmung’s information window.

‘As expected.’

There is something called “Mystery”.

A legacy of the age of mythology in which gods and humans lived together in harmony in time immemorial.

However, it is usually like a phantom, so it is not easily caught in the hands of people.

However, once you get your hands on it, you literally get a ‘mysterious’ power.

Balmung, which contains the myth of defeating the evil dragon, was one of them.

‘Ed Troyban got his hands on the mysteries of Balmung. Achievements of Dragon Slaughter… … . Apparently he knows how to unlock it. What’s the alternative?’

Theo didn’t know that, so he was very curious.

I’m trying to touch the blade with my hands to see if I can get a hint.

Jiing! Geeying!

Drake’s blade and moonlight sword were disgusted and cried.

Weiying-

The same goes for Balmung.

As if rejecting Theo’s approach, he even radiated energy.

There were small scratches on the fingertips.

‘As much as I have the myth of dragon slaughter, it’s not compatible with me, who has a deep relationship with dragons.’

But, on the contrary, there was an error.

I want to subdue him and write.

‘I think it has something to do with the mystery… … .’

However, there was no way to find out right now, so I threw it back into the inventory.

After all, the most important thing was to keep Balmung out of Ed’s hands.

smart!

“Evelyn Nereville and 32 members of Number 5 have arrived.”

Theo woke up to the adjutant’s voice.

He, along with the other members of the crew, had been looking for Julius to report his return.

“Let them come in.”

rattle!

Permission was granted from inside the room, and the door swung wide open.

Julius rose from his seat and greeted them enthusiastically.

“Welcome, our heroes! hahahaha!”

“sorry. We couldn’t prevent Trainer and the other members from getting injured.”

Evelynn slightly bowed her head with the cannon.

Julius shook his head.

“No, no. I’m just glad that you and others are back alive. It’s enough to treat the injured, but those who left can’t do that either, right? You suffered.”

“thank you.”

“Rather than that, I heard that the performance of the newcomers was greater this time?”

When Julius’ gaze met, all eyes of the crew returned to Theo and Erika.

“It was great. It’s very fast… … ! Ugh, the captain wouldn’t know what would have happened if it wasn’t for these guys.”

“Captain, can’t we accept only new recruits from now on?”

“that’s right. Stop bringing the strange ones.”

Selford and the crew even stroked the head of the newcomers, saying that they were proud.

Theo is also Theo, but thanks to the brother and sister Erica who appeared at the end of the battle, he was able to catch the Secretariat agents.

“They are all talented people who will become the pillars of the unit.”

As Evelynn was confirmed and killed, the corners of Julius’ lips naturally curled up.

“Everyone has been through a lot. Thanks to you, my shoulders are strong.”

‘I… … I am being praised by the demon dragon… … ! ugh… … ! Is this a dream or real… … !’

Holcus was distracted by the fact that he was being praised by the object of envy.

Erica smiled confidently, and Theo couldn’t understand.

“yes. Everyone has worked hard, so go in and rest. The details of the non-profession will be announced later.”

“insect!”

“insect!”

“Oh, and Captain 5 and Theo Ragnar have something to say, so let’s stay.”

Each member of the crew left the office, patting Theo on the shoulder, saying he did a good job.

And when there are only three people left.

Julius smiled mischievously as usual and asked Theo.

“I heard you saw it?”

Theo nodded.

I knew right away what to say.

Iljimae.

“Yes. Thanks to that, I was able to draw the fifth toenail.”

“I remember that there were three of them during the flowering ceremony, but there are already five… … . that’s fast very.”

Julius continued with his hands behind his back.

“Note that too fast is not good.”

“I will be careful not to become a sandcastle.”

“You just have to keep that attitude. If you do, ask me.”

Theo straightened his back.

From now on, the questions Julius was asking seemed to be the core of this meeting.

A strange light formed around Julius’ eyes.

“My sword contained in Iljimae… … How was the demon dragon sword you saw?”

‘Also. finally… … !’

Theo clenched his fists.

The moment I was looking forward to so much.

Julius was trying to teach.
