Swordmaster of the Red Light District

return (3)

73

Alesia and Floria’s party had halved the number compared to when they arrived at the Imperial Palace.

Some of the users stayed in the Imperial Horse Tower to clean up, and some were leaving early and doing small things, such as checking the dormitories where the girls were staying.

Of course, most of the key escort forces were guarding Alesia and Floria.

The wagon, which departed from the Imperial Palace, arrived in the city of Glivias after a few days’ journey.

Because it was located relatively close to the ecliptic and its size was huge, it was a well-developed city that could not be compared with the Count of Phillips.

As soon as Ray arrived in the city, he quickly escaped the wagon.

“Ugh… I’ll live.”

As long as they rode the carriage, they had to be held in Seria’s arms.

Seria did not let Ray go well, even though he was sweating and feeling uncomfortable.

Fortunately, outside the carriage, she was free from Seria’s touch.

Seria secretly escaped the Imperial Palace with the help of Diorica, saying she did not want to be interfered with by the family until she saw her nephew off.

Diorica would be in trouble if she showed up recklessly outside, so she couldn’t ride Rey on a horse.

‘I don’t have much time, so I’ll have to pick it up quickly.’

I decided to stay one day at Glivias.

Considering the return path in the future, it was difficult to meet a city as advanced as Glivias twice.

If you were going to buy a gift for your children, you had to buy it here.

Ray stopped by the blacksmith first.

“How much is this?”

“I don’t know how I found out about it, but you know you’re lucky. The black…”

“How much?”

“Originally, you should get 70 gold, but…”

Against the blacksmith who was accustomed to being ripped off, Ray also accustomed to starting an armed demonstration.

gang! gang! gang!

The three swords were cut in half in order and rolled on the floor.

Rei waved the shortened sword softly and faced the blacksmith.

“Hey, bring something that doesn’t break.”

“…how many bags do you need?”

“Three sacks.”

When the blacksmith brought out a new sword, Rey, who checked the quality, offered three hundred gold.

Since it was a fairly reasonable price, the blacksmith received the money with a bitter face.

Ray, who had handpicked even the scabbard, went to a shop selling high-quality writing instruments.

It was usually a tool used by aristocrats or wealthy commoners, so the price was not cheap, but for a few dozen gold, you could get a decent item.

Of course, there were attempts to rip it off.

When Rey touched him a little, he became more docile.

Rei, who had bought dozens of sets of writing instruments, drooled in front of the jewelry store.

“Hmm.”

There were many children who would like to give jewelry as a gift, but they were not very happy.

Jewelry, a luxury item, had a high probability of being targeted and easily lost.

If there was a problem with giving me accessories for nothing, Rayman was in a lot of pain.

‘Karen is, um… the exception.’

Karen has a meticulous personality and has the ability to protect herself. So, I thought it would be okay to give a necklace as a gift, and I belatedly attached the reason.

Rey was aware that she had a secret preference for Karen.

Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Needless to say, Karen was the first rare selected during the orphan gacha.

After a long gacha, I was able to collect orphans that performed better than Karen, but I was more attached to the rare that I picked first.

“This should be enough.”

Ray, having packed the presents for the children, went to the dormitory where Alesia was staying.

Ray spoke to herself as she walked along the road.

“What’s the real reason you made the back door?”

[Lisilote-sama is not a prophet. Most of the backdoors were made with a light mind that someday they will be used.]

“It must have been.”

Hearing Ray’s sarcastic tone, Aftel continued to speak calmly.

[However, the only backdoor that can be used 600 years later is a device that Risilote-sama laid out with a clear purpose.]

“Are you prepared for the time when a being like me appears?”

[That’s right.]

“haha…”

Rey swallowed a dry laugh.

If there was a person who arranged for Lisilote in the novel he was reading, who would it be?

Was the hero who died to the Demon King the owner of the arrangement?

If the hero had taken Lysilote’s arrangement, how was he able to learn the space sword?

‘Where did Harcia’s arrangement still remain…”

If not.

The empire in crisis may have ignorantly raked the talented children and forced them to learn the space sword.

Rey pondered whether he could take Risilote’s arrangement.

‘I am not a warrior. I can’t peak.’

it wasn’t harsh

Ray was clearly lacking in terms of software.

He had a body that could withstand the subordinates of the space sword and reproduce the swordsmanship engraved on his head, but he lacked the innate sense of going beyond that.

It was a pain in the ass to take Risilote’s arrangement and then steal the hero’s spirit and eat it.

‘Then what should I do?’

Let’s have some talented kids sit down and do an experiment to see if they can learn the space sword.

Yohana will be the first test subject.

If Yohana dies without being able to withstand Core’s subordinates, as in the past, the roulette will have to be played until a suitable person is found.

Whoops!

Ray’s body as he was walking along the road stumbled once.

It was because the man approaching from the other side suddenly turned and pushed Rey.

The burden that had been in Rei’s arms poured down to the ground.

People rushed out of the alley as if they were aiming for this moment.

Among the dogs was a child who looked quite young.

The moment when people tried to reach for Ray’s luggage that had fallen to the floor at random.

The sword was drawn out.

The sword flashed once, and the limbs of everyone who approached Rey were cut off.

Rey grabbed the man’s chin that had collided with her and squeezed it as hard as she could.

Their teeth grind together, crushing their gums.

Rey murmured in the middle of the roadside where screams were resounding.

“Well, arrangement or whatever… I’ll learn it first and teach you. Where exactly did you say the place where arrangement was prepared?”

[Lysilote-sama’s arrangement is sleeping in a huge canyon located on the west side of the Denephr River. If you go nearby, we will guide you to the exact location.]

Ray nodded.

Since I had decided to take Risilote’s arrangement, I was going to finish it quickly without delaying it.

*

“Are we going to stop by the Denephr River?”

Jenkinson showed his doubts towards Rey, who was trapped in Seria’s arms.

The Denephr River flows east of Glivias.

A huge gorge existed around the Denephr River, a place frequented by tourists and occasional visitors.

“Ray, it’s difficult to do this all of a sudden.”

We have already booked our accommodation.

It was difficult in many ways if the route suddenly changed.

Jenkinson tried to vomit one after another, but suddenly felt a sense of death and turned around.

Lopilen was staring at Jenkinson, making rough wrinkles on her face.

Jenkinson did not hesitate to challenge Lopilen and started a snowball fight.

They both thought at the same time.

‘What does this bastard believe in?’

Lophilen did not understand Jenkins’s accusation to Harcia, and Jenkins did not understand Lopilen’s skeptical about the topic of being a foodie.

After a long snowball fight, in the end, Lopilen lowered her gaze first.

However, Lopilen smiled contentedly even though she was defeated in the snowball fight.

The only person who knew Rey’s identity was Lopilen alone in this place. The sense of superiority that came from him excited Lopilen.

Jenkinson shook his head as he saw Lophilen giggled alone.

‘Anyway, all of these magicians are psychopaths.’

When the nerve war seemed to be over, Rey struggled in Seria’s arms and asked for forgiveness.

“You just have to go back a little bit. Think of it as taking a look around on the way. When will I go there again?”

If you work hard, you can roughly fit into your schedule.

Rey’s voice was even stronger because he was accompanying Seria.

In the end, an agreement was reached to make a slight return to the Denephr River.

*

“So what the hell are you up to?”

On the way to the Denephr, Jenkinson asked abruptly.

Ray laughed while tying the bracelet.

Looking around, everyone seemed curious.

It was impossible to completely hide it as long as it was accompanied by him, but Rei surrounded him in moderation.

“I found a treasure map in the Imperial Horse Tower. Let’s go find the treasure.”

“I’m not kidding… it’s not going to be.”

Jenkinson sighed.

“Did you even pick up the labyrinth map? Even if it’s genuine, if you step into it recklessly, you’ll be screaming to death.”

“I’ll be careful.”

After walking for a while, the driver stopped talking and was in trouble.

“Above this point, the road is not paved, so it seems difficult to use a wagon.”

Alesia heard the story of the coachman and asked Rey.

“Rei! How many more are left until the labyrinth?”

“Well…”

Rey, who glanced at Aftel, answered.

“It’s going to take another 30 minutes at the current rate.”

“Then leave it to me!”

The materialized Fenrir and Phoenix create an affair.

The wind-swept wheels began to move slowly.

The wind around the wheels acted like a shock absorber, allowing the wagon to navigate the rough ground with ease.

When Alessia gave strength to her neck, Rey said a word.

“Girl, I’ve gained weight on my neck as well.”

“Stop making fun of me because I’m fat!!”

Leaving behind Alesia, who was trembling, Rey sat down next to the coachman and gave directions directly.

After driving a carriage through the canyon for some time… A similar scene continued.

Ray stopped the carriage and scratched his head.

“Um… I think we’ve arrived?”

Jenkinson got off the carriage and looked around and muttered.

“Nothing.”

As Jenkinson said, it was hard to find a special corner near the canyon.

Rey stared at Aftel, who had guided her along the way.

Aftel approached the gorge’s steep slopes.

As Aftel’s translucent hand dug into the cliff, a roar rang out.

Koo-!!!

“?!”

The bottom of the cliff fell with a sudden earthquake.

The phoenix flapped its wings to clear the dust, revealing a small entrance at the bottom of the cliff.

Jenkinson looked at Ray with a puzzled expression on his face.

“I thought you were scammed somewhere.”

“If I cheated on you, you’d be beaten, Master.”

“Son, that’s not bragging.”

Seria asked, sticking her head out of the carriage window.

“Go in? Together?”

“No. I was the only one invited.”

Jenkinson stopped Ray.

“It’s dangerous. Especially in this unknown labyrinth…”

“It’s fine, Master. I don’t talk about things like this, do I?”

“…”

Rey, who looked around at everyone, took a step towards the entrance exposed on the cliff.

“Wait a minute. I’ll be right back.”

“Ray, sleep…!”

Whoops!

As soon as Rey entered the entrance, Rey’s appearance completely disappeared.

‘Barrier…?!’

Startled, Jenkinson involuntarily reached for the entrance where Rey had disappeared.

but sooner than that.

A storm of brilliantly shining swords crashed down on the cliff.

Kwa Gaga Gaga Gaga!!!

“?!!!”

The entire cliff, swept away by the storm of swords, collapsed.

When Jenkinson turned around, Mendes and Avencio had taken Alesia and Floria, respectively, and were hurriedly backing away.

Jenkinson also grabbed the coachman’s collar and rolled it to the ground just before he was crushed by the excited horse.

Breeze, who was looking down at them from the other side of the cliff, frowned.

‘Did you notice the chase and create an escape route? Or did you stop by to hear and confirm information about the labyrinth?’

If the place under that cliff is a labyrinth built solidly, even if a part of the cliff collapses, the inside can be intact.

‘For once, we’ll have to deal with the traitors of the Empire and check them out.’

When Breeze gave the signal, the two wizards who were waiting put their hands on the ground and activated the magic circle.

Then, the ground began to flow deeply, centering on the wagon Alesia and Floria were riding on.

Breeze slipped off the cliff and landed between the canyons.

A huge ant hell created by a wizard was spread out in front of him.

Breeze was determined to cut through the imperial traitors who had fallen into a trap without missing a single one.

However, that moment.

Kwagga Gaga River!!

Dozens of disk-shaped halos fell over the canyon where the wizard was located.

Perhaps because of being hit by a bombardment, the magic activated by the wizard is disturbed.

At that moment, the whole carriage, which had been half buried in the ground, exploded.

Kwaang!!!

Breeze’s complexion, hidden by the robe, hardened.

Inside the wrecked wagon, a woman was walking out with a sword with a sharp blade.

*

‘This…’

Rey, who was in complete silence, looked around.

Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

No, it was not appropriate to say that I looked around.

Rey, who lost her body, was only conscious of her surroundings.

Facing the frozen world, Rey realized.

‘It’s… it’s in the Lisilote Records .’
