The Bastard’s Way of Life of the Returning Swordsman

Episode 93

I found it, finally (3)

– Son.

The other side of the memory of the previous life that I can’t recall well anymore.

He remembered his mother’s face, looking down at him with sad eyes, with her hands and feet tied with ropes.

– As much as your son, don’t follow the path of this ugly mother. Find your son’s happiness.

thump thump thump!

-From these words… … I should have said this first. Sorry for the delay.

The apple that my mother, who always walked only on distant parallel lines, took out for the first time.

It contained warm love.

– So please.

That last request

– Please leave this place.

It touched Theo’s chest deeply.

* * *

It must have been around that time that Theo escaped the family as if he were running away.

My mother asked me to leave the family in search of happiness.

I knew too well that it was sincere, so I wanted to follow it.

Then, at some point, I forgot.

In the storm of life, in the flow of time, I forgot the words of that time.

And now it came to mind again.

either in the past life or in the present life.

All of my mother’s thoughts were, in the end, only worrying about me.

This ugly unfilial man had lived his whole life without knowing it… … .

Theo bit his lower lip.

‘The reason I framed and killed my mother… … Wasn’t it because of the relics that might be in the Rose Palace?’

The last remaining questions related to the previous life were gradually disappearing.

‘But even after that, I couldn’t find any traces of the artifact, and later, it means that I even escaped from my family and killed myself.’

hard-

Because of that, the fact that all the precious gasols had to die unfairly was resentful.

Their screams seemed to still linger in my ears.

question then.

‘But Ed must have died in a rebellion with Axion. My death was long after that. Is that so?’

Theo somehow noticed a few things.

With a slightly calmer gaze, he began to look deeply into the contents of the ledger.

Thanks to you, I was able to know a few more facts.

“Also. After Ed’s death, did Troy-Ban’s witchcraft continue?”

Troyban was the end point of all conspiracies.

Cecilia and Theo died in a conspiracy they made to obtain the ancient dragon’s relic.

Also, Ragnar had to go through many big and small storms.

‘What is the reason they have to collect the relics of the Great Dragon?’

The remains of the Taegoryong were definitely a kind of ＜mystery＞ that anyone would hope for.

But Theo knew.

In order to activate the latent ancient dragon relic, it is necessary to be born with Ragnar’s lineage.

Even if Troyban collected them, it was of no particular use.

‘Even if I had intended to use the half-blood Axion, it would have been meaningless by the time he died?’

Both in the past and in the present. The conspiracy is still ongoing.

‘Are there any other bloodlines that you colluded with beforehand? Like a collateral who was kicked out of Ragnar long ago? Or planted within the family?’

As a way to control such trifles, are you also collecting items that contain the myth of dragon slaughter like Balmung?

I was making some guesses.

Around the time of the end of the ledger. A new phrase caught my eye.

… … Therefore, it is a policy to recover what is believed to be the last relic left in Ragnar sooner or later.

The last remaining relic?

It was then that Theo’s eyes widened.

Whoa!

[‘Skill: Hatchling Synchro’ summons the latent thoughts of the item.]

Theo’s vision twisted to reveal another sight.

in the black darkness.

Ed was scribbling something quickly, leaning on a small lantern.

Then, he folded the completed letter and tied it to the leg of the falcon that was waiting.

– Deliver it to your father and come.

Good food!

The hawk nodded and took flight vigorously.

And after passing a very long distance, they arrived at a certain castle in the east.

A gigantic fortress boasting an enormous size enough to be believed to be an imperial palace.

An old man was sitting on the top floor.

‘Granada Troyban!’

It was a face Theo knew very well.

The current head of Troyban.

He may be a little behind Kyle in terms of skills, but he is the leader of the eastern region who is said to have raised his family on par with Ragnar.

He was also the biological father of Ed and Emil Troyvan.

He unwrapped the letter and read the contents, and smiled.

-I found some interesting information. The existence of the ‘Wolbaek’s Ghost Sword’, which is said to receive the energy of the moon and even eats its owner, is miraculous, but does the ‘Dragon Bow Demon’ actually exist? Taegoryong, Taegoryong, I only heard the word, what a great existence logo. If you stick it together with the ‘Dragon Slayer Magic Sword’ that is said to be in your hands soon… … I think it would make a really interesting picture.

The old man stroked his beard, wrote a new letter, and tied it back to the hawk’s leg.

-Dragon Slayer’s Magic Sword and Dragon’s Demon Sword… … . These two are twin swords worthy of competing with each other. You shouldn’t miss a single one. let me tell you that

Good food!

The hawk soared vigorously again, this time moving north.

Northeast region. It was the headquarters of the Ceres Merchant, where Theo is now.

Quadrock was taking the hawk with great caution.

The thought ended right there.

‘There was one more artifact hidden in the family. Ed and Troyban want to take it.’

I don’t know what the devil of dragon bow is.

However, when I saw Ed and Granada’s self-talk, I knew very well that it was the twin swords that made up the set with Balmung.

‘Balmun is already in my hands… … I’ve checked the location, so I’ll have to intercept that along the way. Before Ed moves.’

Theo’s eyes narrowed coldly.

It’s because you can’t hand over the ancient dragon’s relics to people who aren’t even Ragnar.

Theo rummaged through the warehouse for a while longer, only to find no more clues to look for, then quietly slipped away.

* * *

Outside, the suppression of the Holy Magic Church had already been completed, and the criminals, including Quadrak, were being arrested.

“For those in the upper headquarters, arrest all without leaving a single person behind. Anyone who resists may be killed immediately.”

At Evelyn’s firm order, the 5th crew searched the headquarters with their eyes wide open.

Because of that, it was the members of the Northern Merchant Guild who were struck by lightning.

– I, I, I have nothing to do with this job! Believe me!

-We didn’t even know what the Ceres Merchant was doing! Really!

-Our upper class is just… … There is an engagement ceremony between the Ceres Merchant Merchant and the Bacchus Family, so I only came with an order to attend and celebrate… … !

-Ahhh! This rebellion and our union have nothing to do with it!

In the first place, they were summoned by Quadrock to brainwash the Holy Demonic Church. If you were a victim, you were a victim.

But suddenly, it seems that the suspicion of rebellion has been overturned.

Not only their lives, but also the top of the organization could be blown with blood.

But Evelyn couldn’t let them go.

Among them, the Holy Magic Church or Troy Ban’s nephew could have been planted.

“I am well aware of your unfortunate situation, so I will release it after a simple confirmation procedure. Please wait.”

This promise, too, will be difficult to keep right now.

It was because the incident that had just occurred at Ceres’ upper reaches had not yet leaked out to the outside world.

The importance of this operation was in speed.

A speed battle that must be completed before Ed and Troy Ban realize the truth.

“Cleve-sama, the Bacchus family side.”

“Do not worry about it. Black iron bases are already invading there. He’s probably out of his mind by now.”

Despite the fact that it is intimidating one of the six theories, the attitude seems to be no big deal.

Cleves was close to the idea that the recent rifts in the north were all ‘because Ragnar behaved too generously’.

That’s why it was considered necessary to bring the vassals to their senses by directly pressuring them in this way.

Then, Cleve’s gaze turned to Navan.

“I was told to tie it up, so I was tied up. I’m on your side this time Shouldn’t that be taken into consideration?”

Naban grumbled as if he was unfairly holding up the ropes that bound his hands.

“I took into account the normalcy, so that was it. But, Navan Bacchus, you are not completely clear of the charges, so please wait until then.”

“Ehh. My sales person is like that.”

He sighed heavily and grunted, but Cleve didn’t miss the strange laugh mixed in Navan’s voice.

‘Even though the family is in danger of extinction, they are rather happy? It was predicted that the second son of Bacchus would have a deep resentment in the family because he was an illegitimate son, but it seems to have been true.’

Cleve’s eyes shone strangely.

‘I can’t completely collapse the system of the 6th theory anyway. If that’s the case, it would be more convenient in the future to put such a rebellious head in the position where the existing leadership was removed… … !’

Cleves stopped thinking for a moment, not looking for a way to seize control of the Bacchus family this time.

While fighting Ragnar, Navan suddenly had a conversation with Theo and immediately turned to this side.

And now he seems to have become quite close with Theo.

Is that so?

‘I can’t believe I saw this… … ?’

Cleves felt as if he had been hit hard in the back of the head with something blunt.

I remembered the declaration that Theo had shouted at the opening ceremony to challenge the right of succession.

For him, who has no special background, the Bacchus family, whose family name has changed, could be a pretty good deal partner.

If anyone hears her guess, they might think it’s just a coincidence.

It was an idea that Cleve had seen before, and Theo could have gone mad enough.

“… … !”

In an instant, a chill went down my spine.

Cleve hurriedly turned his gaze to Theo.

Just in time, Theo was approaching this way.

“My daughter… … Lily… … What happened to Lily… … !”

All dreams and ambitions were shattered overnight, but Quadrak was engrossed for a long time, then belatedly screamed when Theo passed nearby.

Theo silently let out a sneer when he saw that guy.

“You guys… … my daughter again… … !!”

Quadrock cried out, intuitively realizing Lily’s fate.

It didn’t take long to run at Theo, but he fell again.

Before I knew it, Holcus violently pressed the guy’s head from behind.

“Can you keep still? I’m going to die of noise!”

Then he looked at Theo and smiled, asking if he was okay… … It came a little creepy.

‘… … what? Is something going on?’

Theo had to nod his head in bewilderment.

* * *

“I’m sure some of you are seeing me for the first time, so I’d like to say hello again. This is Theo Ragnar, a newcomer appointed as a combat swordsman. I wish you well in the future.”

After the rough tidying up.

Theo bowed politely at the gathering of the 5th group.

Everyone who knew him, and those who had only heard the news, all turned to bewildered faces.

-Eh?

-what? Didn’t I hear that wrong?

-Poetry, actual inspection?

Shelford asked urgently with wide eyes.

“It’s not a training swordsman, but it’s already a real swordsman? Really?”

“Yes. You have passed the promotion test in the previous mission.”

“OMG… … !”

-Muh, what is it? So you’re saying that you got promoted right after the second mission, right?

-Thorkel Ragnar wasn’t even like this, but he’s crazy, really.

-It’s the best ever, the best, I’ve only heard of it, what is this… … .

-Yes, but I can understand it. Didn’t you see he shaved the Blood Priest by himself? That’s enough, I have to admit.

-but.

Fortunately, although the members were surprised, there was no one who was jealous or envy, although everyone admitted it.

Of course, I wouldn’t be able to fully understand what was going on, but Theo thought that most of it was probably sincere.

Because that was the atmosphere Julius created.

“Wow… … .”

“You got promoted in the end. I thought I was catching up a little bit, but I’m getting further away again.”

Holcus opened his mouth to the extent that his saliva would drip out, and Erica scratched the back of her head while smiling bitterly.

It’s the same motivation, but now it feels like Theora’s existence keeps getting further away.

Holcus, in particular, felt impatience.

‘I have to line up quickly… … !’

The problem was that there was no time to reveal one’s intentions.

I would have said something if I had time to talk just the two of us, but Theo seemed too busy these past few months.

The success of this mission will keep me busy for a while again.

Damn!

At that time, Evelyn cheered up the atmosphere by clapping her hands.

“Once the cleanup is over, I will return to my family. However, this time the report is urgent and there are many sinners, so we will divide into two groups and move separately. Theo, Shelford, Arin, Erica, Holcus, the five of you, along with me, move to Winterer first. more.”

“Johnny.”

“Johnny.”

“Johnny.”

Theo took Umbra out of the shadows as he confessed.

Like that,

The second mission is over.
