The Bastard’s Way of Life of the Returning Swordsman

Episode 76

co-former (1)

A canyon in the Winter Mountains where the retired elders usually stay.

“You walk so well that you die?”

The Deungryong smiled at the voice that pierced his ears and turned his head towards it.

A young woman was sitting on the wall, looking down at him with a sullen expression.

“If I had known that raising disciples would be this much fun, I would have done it right away. It was as if only the building of the Deungryonggwan, which was a mess, was abandoned desolately without an owner.”

“How are you? Anyone who sees it will think that they have attained the highest level of knowledge?”

“It is clear that it is the material of the heavenly high school. If you tell me one thing, how can you not be happy when you realize ten things?”

Deungryong burst out laughing as he clasped his hands behind his back.

Wellington Narcio, whom he took as a disciple while serving as judge, was showing much more talent than expected.

I am already learning the application of the water flow speed control method that was vaguely shown at the opening ceremony.

It was clear that there would be remarkable growth in the next year or two.

“When are you going to lick your appetite because you couldn’t bring Theo?”

“That is that and this is this. It would have been best to bring both Theo and Well. It’s just regrettable. It sucks.”

Deungryong licked his lips as if he was really sorry.

The woman had a puzzled look on her face.

“If I did, wouldn’t I have been stabbed in the back?”

“If you want to do it, do it. Isn’t Ragnar a place where anything is acceptable as long as you don’t get caught?”

The woman shook her head.

I thought I was so arrogant because I thought someone wasn’t Ragnar.

“And in fact, isn’t Hilda-sama the one who regrets not being able to bring Theo?”

“Well?”

At the back dragon’s question, the woman, Hilda Ragnar, the head of Ragnar’s former squadron, shed a strange smile.

‘He still doesn’t show his insides at all.’

The Deungryong laughed bitterly inwardly.

In fact, there was only one reason why he came down the Winter Mountains after choosing to live away from Kyle for over 30 years.

Hilda’s Call.

-It’s been a while since ‘Bridle’ started rolling? let’s go down together

Deungryong didn’t know exactly what ＜Bridle＞ was.

They simply know that it is a kind of natural law that wizards and shamans call ‘heaven’.

However, he, who claimed to be Hilda’s last remaining servant, had no choice but to step forward in the summoning of the monarch.

At the time, I was thinking of going out and having fun after a long time.

Thanks to that, I had no regrets because I was able to meet students and many talented people.

However, the biggest relationship among them was different.

Theo Ragnar.

A child who might completely change Ragnar’s thousand-year history.

He was also the only child Hilda kept an eye on.

“So you’re not going to call Theo over here? Didn’t you say that you were the chosen child for the first time in 40 years?”

“Yes it was.”

“But why… … .”

“Aren’t you calling me yet?”

The Dragon Dragon nodded.

He was well aware of the fact that Hilda had communicated with Theo by telephony during the ceremony.

At that time, you said as if you would call right away, so why are you still putting off the meeting?

“Watch a little longer. There are still things to check.”

“… … ?”

The back dragon tilted its head, but smiled bitterly at Hilda’s deepened smile.

I just hoped that nothing special happened.

‘I just hope Ragnar doesn’t become Ragnar.’

I don’t know if the wind will turn out the way it wants.

[On failure: Death]

Theo laughed out loud when he saw the last message.

‘I did, but I didn’t know it was real.’

In fact, Theo also predicted that the contents of ‘■■’, which had been blinded, might be ‘death’.

They wouldn’t have given you many quests and rewards without such a huge penalty.

Still, the pressure given by guessing and reality was completely different.

‘I’m sure we’ll meet soon, but I haven’t heard anything about it yet. Is something going on?’

Judging by the fact that he knows the secret of regression, it is not a simple change of heart.

‘Maybe it would be better for me to visit first.’

There was no information about when the penalty would be applied, but rather, it seemed that we had to hurry.

‘The problem is that it’s difficult to specify where Hilda is staying… … .’

There was only one piece of information related to Hilda that Theo knew from his previous life.

“Captain, do you know how to get to the ‘ghost castle’?”

Ghost Castle?

Evelyn felt puzzled when the topic suddenly changed in the story about the captives, but she nodded her head.

“If you say ghost castle, you mean the ruins of the old castle, right?”

“Yes. you’re right.”

The current site of Ragnar was moved to a rebellion 300 years ago.

The ghost castle was used before, and is currently designated as a forbidden area for safety and security reasons.

Surrounded by various magic circles and barriers, access itself is impossible unless a specific method is used.

As far as Theo knew, Hilda knew that such a ghost castle was her home.

“Anyway, it’s easy to spot if you fly around the Winter Mountains on a flying dragon, so you know where it is. But I don’t know how to approach it.”

“Then tell me where you are.”

“I don’t know what’s going on… … Okay.”

Evelyn did not ask for a detailed reason.

It was also a virtue that the first sword had to have, to trust the monarch and silently watch what he was trying to do.

Right now, it’s the relationship between the leader and the crew.

Evelyn never forgot those virtues.

* * *

When I arrived at the Maehwa Palace, there was already someone waiting for Theo to arrive at the main gate.

Theo was a familiar face.

“long-time… … Should I say only? It hasn’t even been a month, but it feels like a very long time.”

“I didn’t expect you to be here.”

“Well, with something like this.”

Natasha.

He was the one who helped Theo at the Flowering Ceremony and uncovered Felix’s fault for not following the orders of the Maehwa Palace.

“Have you been eating a lot of very good things? Your complexion is very nice?”

“Is that so? That’s good.”

“… … Reacting like an old man. no fun.”

As Natasha grumbled, the old man next to her spoke.

“Natasha, would you like to introduce yourself to this old man?”

“This is Lang Frances, the head butler of the Maehwa Palace, and this is Theo Ragnar, who is said to have entered the Baekgap Dragon Base this time.”

“My name is Francesca, the chief butler who assists the first wife.”

An old man with short white hair and a monocle on one eye bowed respectfully.

Theo looked a little surprised and bowed his head in the same way.

“I didn’t know that I would meet the ‘changgwi’. My name is Theo Ragnar.”

For a moment, Rang’s eyes shone slightly through the monocle.

“this… … I thought the heir would know me. It’s embarrassing.”

“If you don’t know Changgwi-nim’s reputation, wouldn’t that be a bigger problem?”

The spearman was one of the few masters in Ragnar who chose to use a spear rather than a sword.

‘That’s also a super-professional who was originally recommended for the position of Swordsman Laurel… … . But I thought he retired because of his age. Was he in the Maehwa Palace, not the Senate? Even as a butler?’

The laurel wreath has been a symbol of nobility and mystery since ancient times.

Of course, the laurel swordsmen who used this as a trademark could only be those who symbolized Ragnar, including the 9 dragons.

I was interested in him when I turned down such an honorable position and stayed by the Maehwa Palace lord’s side.

“I don’t know what to do since there is someone who has been putting gold on my face for the first time in a while. Let’s go inside. 1 Your wife is waiting for you.”

Theo followed Natasha and Rang across the Maehwa Palace.

The inside of the Maehwa Palace, which I had never entered in my previous life, was full of plum trees everywhere.

“It’s like walking in the woods.”

“hahahaha. 1Because the wife loves the plum tree so much. That’s why it’s a pity that they always feel sorry for the plum blossoms, which bloom only a few times a year.”

“Plum blossoms originally bloom in spring. As you know, Winterer has a very short spring.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Theo was talking about this and that with the two of them, and smiled wryly at the stares pouring in from all over the place.

‘Treatment of rolling stones is no joke.’

As one, the boundaries were young.

They must know that the Maehwa Palace lord declared that he would make Theo his disciple at the nomination ceremony.

He must have heard a lot of bad things about Felix.

Some even tried to gauge Theo by sneaking up on their lives.

But,

‘There’s no need for me to bend.’

Hwaaak!

[Activate ‘Skill: Lesser Drake Fear’ to counter all killing.]

“… … !”

“… … !”

“… … !”

As soon as Theo activated the skill, the people who had shed their lives turned into surprised faces and stepped back.

Some even turned pale or even more blatantly hostile.

Fisik!

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Lang let out a light laugh, as if Theo’s reaction was funny.

Natasha shook her head as if she were still the same.

Other than that, the two didn’t say anything.

Ragnar seemed to think that he should prove himself with his skills like Ragnar.

“This is it. Mrs. 1 is inside, so you can go in.”

Then, Lang stopped guiding in front of the gymnasium.

Theo bowed his head in gratitude and entered the gymnasium.

The Maehwa Palace was right there.

Touching the leaves of a very tall plum tree with your fingertips.

“I have been waiting for you to come. Why do we have so much to talk about, I hate Captain Baek Gap Yonggi a little bit.”

The Maehwa Palace looked back at Theo as she clasped her hands behind her back.

“A gift. Did you like it?”

I’m talking about Iljimae.

Theo lowered his head as he took the sword.

“Thanks to the princess, I was able to find a new path.”

“Fortunately, it seems to have been of some help.”

“I learned that flowers aren’t the only things that can be drawn with a sword.”

At those words, a bright smile appeared on the lips of the Princess Maehwa.

“Also. I’m sure you realized You are right. People only want to complete a ‘flower’ as soon as possible, but the process is too neglected. Rather, that part is much more important.”

When the Maehwa Palace Lady stretched out her hand, the sword stuck in the ground was brought back and held in her hand.

widely!

“I want to continue to teach you about ‘qi’ and ‘art’ that you can pass by. These two are the basis of a sword.”

When Theo silently nodded, the Maehwa Palace Lady asked.

“Then don’t ask again.”

“Yes.”

“Will you become my disciple?”

pounding!

Theo’s heart beat again.

Because he had seen all of Iljimae’s thoughts, he was well aware of what a great swordsman he was.

If you can fully learn the theory… … Clearly, a new path will be opened.

Furthermore, he will be able to perfectly solidify his lack of position as a bastard.

But before that

There was something I had to point out.

“Can I ask you one thing?”

“However much.”

“Why do you love me so much?”

Theo’s words continued.

“I haven’t done anything to the princess. Rather, it may endanger the honor of the princess. Even though.”

“Because he resembles Kyle.”

“… … !”

A completely unexpected answer.

Theo’s body stiffened.

“Would that be the answer?”

The smile on the lips of the Princess Maehwa deepened.

“You don’t know, but you look a lot like Kyle in his youth. In spite of the fact that it would have to be far from the seat of power as it was originally… … I try to bump into and break through hardships and adversity. Even so, the way he wants to keep the line resembles Kyle.”

‘Father… … Resembles.’

Those words resonated in my head.

Maehwagungju’s explanation continued.

“Not only that, but you also resemble me. Do you know what you look like when holding a sword?”

“Do not know… … I will.”

“You are always smiling.”

“… … .”

“I was just like that. Holding the sword was so much fun, so swinging the sword was so happy. You too.”

Because I was able to dream again the dream I couldn’t fulfill in my previous life. Theo always cherished every day.

That’s why I gripped the sword more desperately and swung the sword more happily.

It seemed that such feelings were conveyed to the Maehwa Palace.

“Isn’t it natural that your heart is drawn to your husband and a child who resembles you?”

Theo thought that the smile of the Princess of the Flowers somehow resembled Julius’s.

‘These two were also human after all.’

Julius said that he would only return what he received from Kyle to the family.

The Maehwa Palace owner says that she feels closer to Kyle and Theo, who resembles him, as they are his children.

What could be a more ‘human’ answer than this?

But,

Rather than advocating unkind ideals or bizarre justice, these feelings touched Theo more.

-Will you be my disciple?

From that point on, it’s a suggestion, not a compulsion.

A sword learned from them would surely be able to reach the seat of power.

“Any other questions?”

“There is not.”

“Then can you hear the answer?”

Theo nodded and said something,

Hearing that, the Maehwa Palace Lady’s smile deepened.

-Like plum blossoms in spring.
