Episode 444. Teslan (1)
Yuri looked back at Julia as if she had heard something wrong.

“…Who did you just say you were?”

“The sword of innocence.”

“That sword isn’t the same sword I know, is it?”

“There aren’t two swords in the world, right?”

“So that’s the sword? That sword, Johann Redner?”

“Yeah, that swordsman, Johann Redner.”

Although Julia confirmed it several times, Yuri’s expression only got worse.

Julia smiled awkwardly at the look in his eyes as if asking where the fraud was coming from.

“Really. If you look into it even a little, it’ll be revealed in no time. Why would I lie?”

Yuri’s gaze turned to Teresia as he saw Julia shrugging her shoulders as if she felt wronged.

Teresia nodded slightly at his gaze as if asking if what he said was true.

“It’s true. The person my aunt had a crush on was actually Mr. Bujeolgeom. It’s also true that the story is quite widely known.”

Yuri’s face became greatly shocked at Teresia’s verification.

He had a serious expression on his face, as if he was faced with an insoluble puzzle.

“…why?”

“huh?”

“Why do you like that dirty, smelly, bad-tempered, penniless fucking old man?”

“… … .”

At the question that seemed to be filled with sincerity, Teresia and her other friends also fell silent for a moment.

‘I can’t tell if we’re on good terms or bad terms.’

Sometimes we are closer than anyone else, but other times we act like enemies.

The relationship between Yuri and Yohan was truly a curious one for those watching.

When everyone was looking at Yuri as if it was so amazing, he was startled as if he realized something.

“Wait a minute? Isn’t there about a twenty year age gap between you and that old lady?!”

“Maybe so?”

Yuri’s face brightened at Julia’s answer, as if he had finally found the answer.

“Ah, so that’s what happened.”

“what?”

“You were threatened because your weakness was exposed.”

“… … .”

“Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense. Who would like a squat old man like that if it weren’t for threats?”

Julia asked incredulously, looking at Yuri, who nodded with a confident face.

“…Can you like a hunched old man if you are threatened?”

“Sometimes, you can pretend to like something.”

“When?”

“What if the person you like is really rich and you want to go to the goal today or tomorrow?”

“… You want to pretend to like me and get a big chunk of my inheritance?”

“Isn’t that obvious? If you pretend to like someone for just a day or two, you’ll gain a huge fortune?”

“… In that case, shouldn’t the age difference between you and your partner be at least fifty or sixty, not twenty?”

Julia nodded her head and continued her explanation.

“But unfortunately, Lady May was neither threatened nor pretended to like him. It is a well-known anecdote that the Shadow Queen had a crush on the Sword Master and chased him for nearly twenty years.”

“…Why would you do something like that?”

“Well, how would we know what happened between you two? But if Lady May was chasing him for 20 years despite that big of an age difference… there must have been something attractive about you, Master Bujeolgeom.”

“There’s no way that old man would have something like that.”

“I honestly have one guess… … .”

“There’s something like that? What is it?”

“face.”

“… … ?”

Julia smiled slightly at Yuri’s gaze that seemed to ask, “What the heck are you talking about?”

“John, they say you were very handsome when you were young.”

When Yuri heard those words, a story Gordon had told in the past came to mind.

[That guy John also used to flirt with many women when he was young.]

That’s right.

Apparently Gordon also said that John was handsome.

At the time, I just thought it was crazy and just passed it over.

‘That was… real?’

If even Julia is saying something like that, it means that it’s not completely baseless.

“oh my god…….”

The shocked Yuri looked as if the world had collapsed.

* * *

The night of the tenth day since leaving the sleepless city.

The Sowol mercenary group was spread out here and there, with a blazing bonfire between them.

Crisp, crunch.

Yuri’s expression changed considerably to a grim one as she stirred the campfire at the strange noise heard in the middle of the night.

Crisp, crunch.

Yuri’s head eventually turned as the sound did not stop easily.

ha-!

Crisp, crunch.

At the source of the sound was Gunther, who was constantly blowing on his armor and cleaning it.

Yuri finally said something as he watched Gunther continue to clean his full body armor even though he had already cleaned it so much that his face was visible.

“Hey, if you keep doing that, you’ll wear out.”

“Would a bone-clad weapon wear out to this extent? Heh.”

“Is it good?”

When he heard that question, Gunther glared at him as if to ask him whether that was even a question.

“Is it good? You ask the obvious. The treasure that knights cannot have even if they want it is the full-body armor of the Golcek.”

“Why can’t I have it? You can just buy it with money.”

“Tsk. What is this? You really don’t know anything. Why would a Goljokje weapon be worth so much? It’s because it’s so rare. Even famous families only have a few, and even those are passed down from generation to generation.”

“Was it that precious?”

“Most of the full-body armor produced by the Gols is taken by the Black Swordsmen, and the rest is taken by a few families with ties to the Gols. Even those are of average quality, and the Gols do not easily give away top-quality items like this.”

As he said this, Gunther looked lovingly at his own full body armor.

Yuri clicked her tongue at the gaze that seemed to look at her more affectionately than that of a lover.

“Tsk tsk, I need to hone my skills. I’m trying to see how to use a weapon, but I’m still only a 5th dan. When are you going to act like a human being with that?”

Gunther, who recently succeeded in becoming the 5th Dan official after Teresia.

Not only that, but Arin and Poppy also reached the official 5th Dan level sequentially.

But in Yuri’s eyes, he’s only a certified 5th Dan.

“You need to be at least 7th Dan to be of any use… While you’re sitting there cleaning it, why don’t you swing your sword one more time? People need to put in effort, effort! Does cleaning it improve your skills?”

The veins on Gunther’s forehead stood out as he heard Yuri’s sarcastic remark mixed with a nasal sound.

“… It’s quite annoying that the one who received the best of us is saying something like that.”

Gunther’s gaze fell on the sword lying next to Yuri.

An extraordinary appearance emanating from the beautiful reddish-brown scabbard.

Gunther also saw Yuri’s soul.

An ego sword created with all of the effort of the Gol tribe’s master.

It was truly a divine artifact worthy of being called a black divine sword, as it answered its master’s questions of its own accord.

I’m so greedy for the sword I use, even though it’s different in shape.

And Yuri shrugged her shoulders at Gunther’s criticism.

“whatever.”

“… … .”

“If you tease me, I’ll make you stronger than you.”

Gunther eventually burst out in laughter at Yuri’s intense laughter.

“Ugh! Why are you picking on me? Everyone else is doing it!”

Gunther, his veins rising from his neck, swung his sword around.

Everywhere he touched, there were people who fell in love with his weapons.

Teresia is carefully and lovingly cleaning the window sill.

Julia looks at the sword with a half-absent expression.

Poppy hugging a large shield and rubbing her cheek repeatedly.

As Gunther said, there were more than a few people who fell in love with weapons.

Teresia, Julia, and Poppy. They were all beside themselves with the golem weapons they had received for this mission.

Yuri lightly ignored Gunther’s protest and looked down to the side.

“You guys are really acting strange. Isn’t that right, Hoong-ah?”

Hoong-!

“At least it has to be at least as good as our Hoongi so that we can go somewhere and call it a bone-striking weapon. Right?”

Hoong hoong!

Answers to every question from Yuri in a cheerful manner.

Gunther, who was watching this from right next to him, had a strange experience that was both novel and annoying at the same time.

‘A weapon with an ego.’

I’ve seen it several times already, but it’s still amazing no matter how many times I see it.

The sword answers its master’s questions.

Where else in the world can you see such a rare sight?

But there was one problem.

‘…How can that mysterious sound sound so frivolous and mean?’

The problem was that Seol-hon’s vibrations were starting to sound more and more like Yuri’s frivolous speech.

“Anyway, it’s the little things that ruin the reputation of the Goljokje weapons. Right, Hoonga?”

Hoooong!

As he continued to listen to the conversation between Yuri and Seolhon, he felt like his insides were about to explode with annoyance, so Gunther turned his attention away from their conversation and went back to cleaning his full body armor.

Crisp, crunch.

As I looked at the clear, shining full-body armor, the irritation that had been rising up subsided and peace came to my heart.

But his comfortable time didn’t last long.

“By the way, Arin, what did you get?”

Yuri’s casual question piqued Gunther’s curiosity.

And Gunther wasn’t the only one curious about that question.

Teresia, Julia, and Poppy also looked at Arin after hearing Yuri’s question.

All of the others, except Arin, received their main weapons from the Gol tribe.

However, surprisingly, Arin’s bow was a masterpiece among masterpieces that even the Gol tribe evaluated as ‘we cannot make a better bow than this’.

So she received something other than a bow, and she never showed it to anyone.

No, more precisely, it would be correct to say that they were so focused on their own weapons that they didn’t have time to care about what Arin had received.

Then, a situation where curiosity was belatedly aroused by Yuri’s question.

Meanwhile, Arin’s expression brightened in an instant after hearing Yuri’s question.

“Hehehe, are you curious? Should I tell you?”

Arin’s eyes sparkled as if she had been waiting for that question.

However, when Yuri actually asked the question, her expression turned slightly dull.

“No, you don’t have to tell me.”

“…why?”

“I don’t like the way you brag and show off.”

“Boo…….”

Yuri clicked her tongue at the sight of Arin’s sullen and drooping face in an instant.

“Tsk, I’ll give you a minute. If you’re going to brag, bring it over quickly and brag.”

“I’ll get it right away! It’s in the bag!”

The bright-eyed Arin ran to where she had packed her backpack.

Without anyone being able to stop her, she quickly unpacked her backpack and put her hands inside, feeling around.

But then her expression, which had been excited at first, became slightly strange.

“Huh?”

Drumroll rumbling-.

She kept feeling for the items in her backpack with her hands until she finally took one out.

“Ah! This isn’t my backpack… Huh?”

Arin realized that she opened the wrong backpack after seeing the items she took out of it.

Her head gradually tilted as she looked at the object in her hand.

Then, he realized what he had taken out and screamed in surprise.

“Oh, is this Dragoon… … ?!”

But her screams did not last long.

Break-!

A blue flash of lightning in the middle of the night.

and.

Bam-!

With a loud popping sound, Arin rolled her eyes and fell to the side.

Next to it, a piece of glass that had been moved at some unknown time was slowly closing the entrance to the backpack.

After that, Yuri hid her backpack behind her back and met the gazes directed at her.

“What are you looking at?”

The others were startled by his question and quickly looked away.

Those who try to avoid eye contact with Yuri by any means possible.

They were all sweating profusely, thinking about the same thing.

‘Hey, red one?!’

‘Red crystal?’

‘No way… that?’

‘hungry!’

Even though it was only for a moment, everyone saw it clearly.

I’m talking about the red lump that Arin took out.

And no one failed to notice that his true identity was Dragonborn.

At this, Julia felt a slight creepiness.

‘Come to think of it, that backpack… when did it get so full?’

Now that I think about it, Yuri’s backpack was in a loose state when they set off.

But from which day did it start?

Yuri, who disappeared every night complaining of a stomachache.

The morning after he complained of a stomachache, his backpack seemed to have become slightly more swollen and heavy.

Julia, who remembered that fact belatedly, realized the truth.

‘Come to think of it, the path we took was closer to the underground labyrinth… Could it be?’

Yuri, who was commissioned by the Gols to cut dragon bones.

What if he stole a little bit of the Dragonbone each time?

‘And what if we didn’t bring it to the sleepy city, but hid it in advance along our route so we could pick it up later when we left?’

Gulp-.

‘So… how many dragon bones are in that backpack?’

Julia thought back to how many times Yuri had disappeared, saying she had a stomachache.

Gulp-.

She swallowed dryly and looked at Yuri’s large backpack.

‘Is there a chance that I’ll get caught by the Gols later?’

Unless the Gols collected all the dragon bones they had each paid bribes for and compared them to the original amount, there would be no way of knowing that Yuri had embezzled them.

‘Surely he… was planning on doing this from the beginning?!’

Cut the dragon bone and take the money, and also take the dragon bone.

How much profit did you actually make?

Julia wanted to show respect to Yuri.

Meanwhile, Arin was forgotten for a while due to the appearance of Dragonborn.

Gunther muttered quietly as he watched her faint.

“… So what did he get?”

There was no one left to answer that question.
