Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 69

Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (69)

Santa Maria Adventure Group.

They are a group that gathers only the talkative and troubled people from the Atlantis Maritime Alliance, whose prestige has been raised several times by narrowly reaching the A rank.

Not to mention leader Christopher Conrad, it was difficult to find a single person from the vice-leader all the way down to the lowest level with a clear mind.

After completing the quota stipulated in , their daily routine was to enjoy the rich entertainment district of Atlantis Island.

Even today, Conrad was immersed in the fun.

“Ugh! This is what it tastes like! “It’s worth 50 gold per bottle!”

While massaging the beautiful women sitting next to me with both hands, I only open my lips to drink high-quality distilled liquor.

On his table, a fancy-dressed dancer danced non-stop, the hem of her skirt fluttering, and the members sitting around him flattered the audience until their tongues ran dry, cheering them up.

It was literally a liquor forest.

“hey! “I’ll come back after a big fight, so you guys can handle it on your own!”

“””yes! older brother!”””

“You guys! Not my brother, but the leader! They think we’re still a bunch of thugs running around doing work! “A grade A adventure group!”

I hit the guy nearby on the head with the bottle of alcohol in my hand.

Pak! And the shattering glass splattered everywhere.

“Hehehe, sorry! step! page! sir!”

“You can do it well, but you make me say it twice, you bastard.”

Whoever of them is at level 6 or higher in External Power Sutra, laughs and bows even though he broke a bottle with his head. Konrad also laughed at that face and passed by him.

This promiscuous exchange was also a form of intimacy in its own way.

Eat and drink while chatting.

Then, when he gets nervous, he drags any woman he can get his hands on, and after hugging her until he gets sick of it, he goes back to drinking.

Santa Maria’s routine was always like this.

but.

“older brother! Oh, no. “Captain!”

At the sound of someone calling him, Conrad’s drowsy face distorted viciously. He seemed to have a friendly attitude, but he only showed it when it didn’t offend his temper, and if it got in the way of his enjoyment, he was the type of guy who would make the members or anything else covered in blood.

Both of his hands naturally gained strength, and the women who were entrusting their bodies to him screamed and screamed.

“… … What? “Didn’t you hear that I’m coming for a big fight?”

“It’s a notice sent from ? “I told you to bring any news from the or here right away.”

“Bring it.”

Perhaps sobered by the words of the member who brought the news, Conrad accepted the letter with an expressionless expression on his face.

If you have a Level 10 Outer Power Sutra, you can drive away the intoxication by circulating mana even for a short period of time. The complexion, which had become red like a tomato, immediately returns to normal, and even the ability to think returns to its usual state.

The envelope ripped open with a crack, revealing its contents.

“… … … .”

Conrad’s face changed color several times as he carefully read each word written therein.

It had to be that way.

The goal was to raise the Santa Maria Adventure Group to Grade A and eat well and live well, but there was no reason to decline as long as we could go further from here.

According to the letter from Bermuda, they should have been aiming for a position several levels higher than the A-level seats.

‘One day, I too might be able to take a seat in the and live without envying the nobles of the interior.’

I am happily enjoying both money and fame.

In that case, the only thing he should aim for next was power.

Conrad was no longer in the mood to drink as the ladder truck leading to the was hovering right in front of him.

“That’s fun. “I have to see with my own eyes what the Princess of Aquamarine was thinking.”

After burning the letter with the first-tier flame magic , he left the bar, leaving his men behind.

I had been drinking since midday, so it was just past noon.

“It’s been a while since I went to work at this hour. “If you’re calling me for something trivial, I’ll have to make it a little annoying.”

Christopher Conrad.

Even though he is not the leader of Santa Maria, he is a high-ranking A-level adventurer with the nickname ‘Demon Swordsman’.

The fangs exposed between the lips were shining like a wild beast.

* * *

Clara, the teller in charge of Zephyrus Hall in , went blank at this sudden meeting.

‘Aquamarine’ and ‘Santa Maria’.

Are you holding a meeting with an adventure group that is taking a completely opposite path?

On one side is a B-class adventure group struggling to survive, turning their backs on a glorious past.

On the one hand, there is an adventure group that, despite their poor behavior, has risen to the top level of , Grade A, thanks to their skills alone.

“Is this your first time talking face to face like this? “Director Konrad.”

Aquamarine’s adventure leader, Francis, spoke first.

Then Conrad giggled and answered those words.

“I never thought it would turn out like this until eight years ago! “No one would have believed me if I told them that Aquamarine was below my adventure group.”

“Iknow, right. In your position, you probably couldn’t even say a word to me, right? “You should be thankful for your time and luck.”

“… haha.”

“Ahaha.”

Both of them only made laughing sounds with their mouths, but there was not a trace of laughter in their eyes.

Clara already felt her stomach grow bitter.

Fortunately, the war of nerves between the two adventure leaders did not last that long, and Conrad, with his upper body on the table, began the story in earnest.

“Why don’t you start by explaining that I’m giving you a chance to buy Aquamarine? “The price for calling me out in broad daylight is high.”

Clara was surprised by the contents.

This was because she only called him at Francis’ request and did not know his purpose.

Aquamarine.

The adventurer’s once legendary ship is taken over by Santa Maria? This was news that could shake the entire Atlantis Maritime Federation.

But Francis answered in a cold voice.

“I heard about Vivian, the elf who was captured by your adventure group. How shameless are you? Aren’t you embarrassed by the A-grade nameplate? “You caught a member with her fraudulent contract, and if that wasn’t enough, you asked her for money?”

“under! indeed. I guess that one-eyed bitch got stuck there? “I’m on the verge of tears because you’re willing to fight with me for just one member.”

Conrad sneered and sneered at what she said.

“I’m sorry, but that employment contract was notarized by . If I really committed contract fraud, is also responsible. Shall we go up to Aiolos Hall together and talk?”

Aiolos Hall’s biased treatment of Grade A students was also famous among employees within Bermuda.

Clara, who had nothing to say about him, simply remained silent, and Francis, who saw this, realized that there was no point in questioning him further.

If you were a person who would reflect on having your mistakes pointed out, there would be no need to approach it this way. Even if you destroy both ‘Santa Maria’ and Christopher Conrad, there will be no reason to feel guilty.

“great. “Because I had no intention of saying it verbally from the beginning.”

Francis said with even colder eyes.

The plan she and Leonard had made started now.

“We will compete in a prize fight.”

“Hoo?”

“I’m putting everything on the line, including Vivian’s employment contract, unpaid wages, and the exploration permit for Sea Area 5. Then, I also offer the opportunity to buy aquamarine.”

Conrad waved his hand to make the suggestion seem ridiculous.

“Bullshit. You’re not just going to hand over Aquamarine, you’re going to risk the chance to buy it? Do I look like such a brat? ok?”

“You must stop talking nonsense. Santa Maria, even if you put all your men on that old ship, how many times more would the aquamarine sell for? “We will sell it at the appropriate price set by , so you don’t have to worry about me being ripped off and paying for it.”

It was as Francis pointed out.

The legendary adventurer’s ship, Aquamarine, was covered in rare metals from its hull to its internal structure. Mithril was the basic interior material, adamantium was used in the bow where durability was important, and orichalcon was used in the part where the magic circuit was installed.

The functional value of the ship was enormous, but even if you were to tear it apart and sell just a few parts, you could become one of the richest people in Atlantis.

Conrad wasn’t a fool who didn’t know that, so in the end, what he said earlier was nothing more than a negotiating blow.

“… … Yes, you are not wrong. “It’s not wrong.”

However, Conrad stood up from his seat.

“Is it even more suspicious because it’s such a sweet offer? I’m really curious about what kind of tricks the princess is trying to pull off. Would you be able to find out if you pricked your stomach and looked inside?”

At the same time as the creepy words, there are blatant murderous scenes.

If Conrad, a high-ranking adventurer in Class A, decides to kill, the people in this room will be slaughtered within 10 seconds.

The same was true even if unarmed.

Although Marian accompanied Francis as an escort, the difference in skill between the two was clear. Clara, who had no idea that she would do something so reckless in , turned pale, and Francis’ eyes also trembled slightly.

It was that moment.

Gooooooooo——!

It was the energy that emanated from Marian.

As Conrad’s murderous spirit was immediately pushed back, a strange image appeared in his eyes. With this level of momentum, the external force diameter is at least 9th level. Maybe he could have reached the 10th dan level.

And it was also the moment when a decisive clue was captured.

“aha! I see. Mad Dog Marian, with a talent like yours, it’s strange that you’re still at the 6th level of the Outer Power Sutra. “Have you been hiding your skills to drown me like this?”

“… … .”

“Is it like Aquamarine’s hidden sword? It’s too bad I found out everything! “You know that if you make a fuss to everyone in the neighborhood, only you guys will get screwed, right?”

When a look of nervousness appeared on Francis’ face for the first time, Conrad recognized it and smiled heartily.

“Well, okay. Because I am merciful. “I accept the betting duel.”

“What are you planning?”

“What an ulterior motive! It’s no big deal. Well, just… .”

The corners of Conrad’s mouth were torn as he looked Marian up and down.

“Do you think I’ll win at this rate?”

“Do you mean drinking and binge drinking every day?”

“Because he’s a genius. “While you work hard and build up your strength, I can play and eat to surpass it.”

Sword and magic were also very easy.

Although it was difficult to overcome the master’s wall, I have no doubt that I will be able to overcome it within 10 years.

Christopher Conrad’s confidence was in that area.

He continued speaking without hesitation.

“Let’s add a few conditions. “Only members who officially belong to each other’s adventure group will be able to participate in the betting duel, and if you bring in any sword master through past connections, there will be no answer.”

“… … “I accept it.”

“One-on-one is natural, and the way it ends is a matter of life and death. “Let’s not decide on inability to fight or surrender, isn’t that trivial?”

Francis closed his mouth with a white face, but Marian chimed in from behind.

“I don’t mind, lady.”

“I like it because it’s hot. “I hope the princess will believe in my resolve too!”

When she reluctantly nodded her head, Conrad pushed her with a sinister smile on his face.

“The effective date of the betting duel is… Well, is there any need to take this long? “It’s a bit like that today, how about tomorrow?”

“Tomorrow?! “What happened to your head?”

“I’m not sure what tricks you’ll make if you give the princess more time, right? If you refuse this, I’ll just throw it all away and start talking about Marian. “What do you want to do?”

Francis was about to retort, but bit his lip when he saw the malice creeping into his eyes.

Konrad recognized the meaning in her attitude and smiled.

“Okay, let’s start by writing a contract. Was it Clara there?”

“Yes, Captain Christopher.”

“Don’t be harsh, just call me Conrad. Did you say it was a shame not to see you after going up to Aiolos Hall? The people in charge at the counter there are all nice, but they have a very stiff nose. “A woman must have a taste for obedience.”

“… “We will help you draft the contract.”

Ignoring his rude remarks, Francis and Clara quietly moved their pens and completed a formal contract for a betting duel.

Once this contract is established, it cannot be canceled or changed.

“Director Konrad, as soon as I get back, send Vivian to and have her stand by. “Neither you nor I can touch her until her betting duel is over.”

“Of course. “I can get it back tomorrow anyway, so I can’t get into trouble over something trivial.”

Conrad’s true colors were revealed when he saw Clara taking the completed contract into the locker.

The eyes and mouth, unable to hide their greed, were torn like a hyena waiting for its prey. A man who hated hard work but rose to grade A with only talent, his desire was in full swing.

“Okay then, let’s meet again tomorrow at noon. “Miss Francis.”

The man who had already declared that you were not the leader of the adventure team left the conversation room without even looking back.

Clara, who was watching Francis, left the room to report the contract for this betting duel.

Only Aquamarine’s two people remained in the conversation room.

and.

“… … “It’s big.”

The sound of laughter that he had barely suppressed burst out through Francis’s tightly closed lips.

“Ahahahaha! “Marian, I didn’t know much about it, but your acting skills are surprisingly good, aren’t you?”

“I also had a hard time managing my facial expressions.”

Marianne, who had a similar smile on her face, stumbled.

It wasn’t just because I couldn’t laugh.

“oh! are you okay?”

“it’s okay. It’s a method to amplify momentum, but surprisingly, the feeling of exhaustion throughout the body is severe. “I don’t think I can use it freely in a real-world situation.”

“Cardenas also has many unique skills. It’s a technique that can confuse one’s state. “It would be useful in psychological warfare.”

When she used her mana the way Leonard taught her, she was able to create a level of intimidation that was impossible at her level.

Taking away Conrad’s momentum was also part of that application.

―If you use this, even that guy named Conrad will recognize Marian as someone who should not be underestimated. That’s the purpose.

King’s sword type.

Heavenly Demon Lord Limbo (天魔君臨步).

It was a technique that only took the form of martial arts to suppress the enemy by maximizing its momentum, and was a method of using internal energy that was not practical for any purpose other than bravado.

Even so, if he had maintained the 6th level of external force mirror, there was a possibility that Conrad would not have been completely fooled.

“… “I don’t know how I can repay my debt to Leonard.”

Marian looked back on the memory of the day he gave her the golden fruit with an expression of disapproval.
