Returned Lord Wants To Rest - Chapter 110



Episode 110.

I bowed my head and listened to the king’s words.

“Thank you for the confirmation, Your Majesty!”

“But if you can’t win, you’ll have to sacrifice your head.”

“Just watch.”

Afterwards, the king left the throne room, and the other nobles also left.

Dave’s brother approached me.

“Are you crazy?”

“I couldn’t help it. I can’t do this on my own.”

“No, how are you going to beat the Sword Saint!”

“don’t worry.”

Seeing my calm appearance, Dave continued to sigh.

“I’m still young, but I’m already risking my life…”

“No, bro. i’m not dead yet And everything I have told you is true.”

“Ah, come to think of it, that story is important. What is Veles, and what is the destruction of the continent?”

I slowly explained the existence of Veles to Dave.

As the explanation continued, Dave’s expression grew darker.

“Is that true? There is an organization that wants to destroy the continent, and the leader of that organization is a demon named Veles.”

“huh. It’s true without exception. you know bro ostrich.”

“ah···!”

When I mentioned Leah, who was Milia’s exclusive maid, Dave nodded in agreement.

“Anyway, how do you win, Sword Saint-nim? Oh, yes. You separately kissed the swordsman!”

“It’s not?”

“uh?”

“I told you, everything I told you was true. I will defeat the swordsman.”

Dave hyung looking at me with an unreliable look.

Dave hyung, who doesn’t know much about swords, wouldn’t understand even if I showed him where he is now.

“Just take a look. Because I am more than a sword master.”

“By the way, what on earth is the level of sword master or higher?”

“Um… in short, the state of half-body.”

“…Ehh, anyway, I’ll believe it.”

Dave still didn’t believe it, but luckily he let it go.

Sooner or later, he began to look forward to a sparring with the swordsman.

‘Kuh, how am I going to get revenge?’

As a disciple, I was going to be satisfied with just one hit on the back of the sword saint’s head.

***

Unexpectedly, the preparations for Dalian were carried out in an instant, as if the king had taken this seriously.

In an instant, the stage for Dalian was created, and all that remained was for the Sword Saint to arrive.

And the Sword Saint also arrived quickly.

Before the sparring began, the king called me and the Sword Saint separately.

“Sword Saint.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Is this man named Suhar Caldert really your disciple?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

The king nodded lightly.

“Then, ask me one thing.”

“You can ask anything.”

“Sword Saint, is it true that your disciple is stronger than you?”

Uh, you ask that in front of me?

From nob le mt l. co m

No matter how much I said that, which teacher would admit in front of his pupil that he was weaker than his pupil?

Even if I admit it, it was a matter of pride.

As evidence of that, the Sword Saint looked at me and smiled ominously.

“Your Majesty, did my student say that?”

“Yes!”

“Ugh… my student reached the level of a sword master a long time ago, but he surpassed me before I saw him… It’s funny. I guess I’ll have to compete once to find out.”

The swordsman’s words surprised the king.

“Uh huh… Sword Master… that’s amazing. Then the Sword Saint might lose.”

“hahahaha, I am the Sword Saint of Roto Kingdom. No matter how hard I am, I cannot lose.”

“Heh heh, I’ll believe you.”

And the king turned his gaze to me.

“But after thinking about it for a moment, I think I was a little harsh in taking your head off.”

Suddenly the king’s attitude changed.

The reason could be understood from the king’s subsequent words.

“How can we easily decapitate the second born Sword Master in our kingdom?”

“…”

I didn’t know what to say, so I just kept silent.

“So, if you lose, be the royal dog.”

“···yes?”

“Ah, the tone was a bit bad. Well, no big deal. I just want you to listen carefully to the royal family.”

Aww.

It’s a waste to kill because he’s a sword master, but it’s ambiguous to get rid of insects.

“I don’t care. I will win.”

“You have the courage to claim victory in front of your teacher.”

I looked at the Sword Master with a sidelong glance.

The sword and the gaze met.

The Sword Saint’s eyes were burning with the desire to win.

He seemed quite angry.

But this situation was better.

It could look like a manipulative match if we just said that we were considerate of each other.

“Then, I will look forward to this Dalian. Sword Saint, I want you to leave your disciple’s neck properly.”

“How can I take my disciple’s head with my own hands?”

Apparently, the king thought that the Sword Saint would win.

Afterwards, Geomseong and I talked separately from each other on the spot.

“You have quite the spirit.”

“Sword Saint-nim, it’s not like that…”

The Sword Master smiled.

Inside, he looked angry, but he wasn’t.

“No matter how vicious I am, I can’t turn my apprentice into a royal dog.”

“yes?”

“I will lose on purpose, so please grant me one wish.”

Do you mean to lose on purpose, the swordsman?

My first thought was that this must be a trap.

Besides, even if I didn’t lose on purpose, I was confident that I would win.

But I was curious about one thing.

“All right. Do it right. But what the hell do you want from me?”

At that moment, a wish that the Sword Saint must have had passed through his mind.

‘Could it be… snake wine made with ancient snakes?’

The fact that the swordsman even suggested match fixing to me because of that snakespell is, of course, a silkworm.

But my expectations were wrong.

“That’s… my granddaughter…”

“yes? granddaughter?”

If it’s the granddaughter of the Sword Saint…

There is only Elise Sarkid.

“Are you talking about Alice?”

“Kuhmm… You know that I’m weak to my granddaughter, right?”

“yes.”

That’s it, of course you know.

Because of her granddaughter, she was swayed by the Noblesse organization.

“But your granddaughter still hasn’t forgotten you. It seems you liked it that much.”

“then···.”

What I was trying to do with a wish was…

“It looks like you tried to force your granddaughter and me to marry.”

“Kuhmm… but isn’t it better than the royal dog?”

I forcibly endured the fact that I was about to say that the royal dog was better at the moment to be related to Sword Saint-nim by blood.

These words were useless.

“hahahaha, as I said before, there are people I like.”

“Ohhh… Then, did you even promise to get married?”

“that···.”

We haven’t seen each other for several years now.

“Then you’re saying that my granddaughter has a chance, too. Then, if you lose to me this time, meet my granddaughter, not the royal dog.”

“Do you intend to change what the king has decided?”

“hahahaha, the king has a reason to grant my request unconditionally, so it doesn’t matter.”

Hee hee, somehow it turned into a sparring where my future ran.

Still, it didn’t matter because I wasn’t confident in quality.

“As I just said, I’m not confident in my vagina, so it’s okay.”

“Oh, then it will become clear during Dalian. Whether or not my apprentice has reached the level of a sword master or higher.”

It seems that it also entered the ears of the Sword Master.

An ideal state that even the Sword Saint could not understand.

I have to show the Sword Saint sometime about the level of a half-body.

“You heard me. You’d better be nervous.”

“Whether a disciple has become a braggart or a legend, you have to compete to find out.”

And the swordsman left.

Left alone, I closed my eyes for a moment and lost myself in thought.

The Sword Master, who had been at the level of a Sword Master for a long time, must have reached the end of the Sword Master.

However, even as time passed, he would not have noticed that there was a realm beyond that.

‘I’ll remove the screen at the end.’

Well, even if the screen was removed, it was clear that he would not be able to reach the same level as me.

However, Swordsman, the true swordsman, would surely be delighted.

In a way, the state of half-body could look like a work of art to a swordsman.

***

The day of Dalian has arrived.

The only spectators watching this match were wealthy commoners or nobles.

I felt like I was in the Colosseum.

‘Well, sparring with the swordsman is something that can make money. It’s also a confrontation between a disciple and a master.’

It was clear that making sparring matches in the form of a Colosseum was probably the goal of the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Loto.

In any case, all of this was irrelevant to the Sword Saint and me who were going to fight.

I was thinking of showing the Sword Saint a proper wall today.

I looked at the Sword Master standing in front of me with a distance.

“Sword Master, it would be better to do it properly from the beginning.”

“Oh, that’s pretty cheeky. I still think so.”

It had been a long time since he had sparred with the Sword Master.

The most recent sparring was in the Sarkid Territory.

At that time, I knew that the swordsman was superior to me in terms of sword skills.

But I thought I would win if I used it with telekinesis.

‘But that must have been my mistake.’

When he reached the level of a half-body, the swordsman’s skills were shown without hiding.

Of course, there is a possibility that it has grown more than before.

But one thing is for sure, if the swordsman and the me at the time fought with all my might, I would lose.

‘Of course, it might be different now.’

I hinted at the Sword Saint.

“By the way, I won’t be using telekinesis.”

“What! You make me laugh so much…”

“I told you. I have reached a level beyond sword master. There is no lie in this statement. It’s on a different level from what Sword Saint-nim thinks.”

“…”

“See you in Dalian.”

I was thinking of repaying the favor on my own.

To make the Sword Saint properly experience the state of being a half-body.

This was to repay the favor to my Sword Saint.

After a while, the king cried out.

“Let the sparring begin!”

Dalian began.

But the sword and I didn’t move.

“The seon-gong will yield.”

“Heh heh… No wonder you’re making me angry.”

To be honest, I didn’t think it was a provocation.

However, in order to properly show the status of a half-body, the swordsman also needed to be sincere.

The swordsman approached me in an instant and swung his sword several times.

The power contained in it was definitely different from the beginning of the Sword Master.

‘It seems that he has crossed the stage of mastery of the sword.’

Perhaps the swordsman thought that a step beyond the level of mastery of a sword master was a level higher than that of a sword master.

It was a misunderstanding, and it was shown with the body.

I received all of the swordsman’s attacks on the spot.

After several attacks, the Sword Saint comes out and widens the distance.

A feeling of bewilderment was evident on the swordsman’s face.

“…is this a level higher than that of a sword master?”

“We haven’t shown you everything yet.”

I looked at the Sword Saint with a serious expression.

“Fly as much attack as possible, Sword Saint-sama.”

Even if the sword master swings lightly, it becomes a draw.

If you wield it like a sword master uses a secret weapon, it becomes a disaster.

It was a disaster because it literally turned to scorched earth.

The only thing that could stop it was the same sword master.

It can only be stopped by swinging it with more than the same strength.

“It’s okay… no, you don’t have to worry about it.”

A tremendous energy began to gather around the sword castle.

An energy that seemed to destroy this place.

Perhaps that was the greatest attack the swordsman could do.

But it came lightly to me.

‘I wonder if Veles felt like this when he faced me…’

From nob le mt l. co m

No amount of attack can bridge the gap.

To be honest, even the mighty energy of the enemy poses no threat to me at all.

Rather, it felt like a joke.

‘It’s truly a miracle that I’m alive now.’

The swordsman shouted at me.

“Let’s attack right now!”

Since I wasn’t responding, it seemed that the Sword Saint was slightly worried about me.

Seeing you say you’re going to attack me like this.

“No worries.”

As soon as I finished my words, the mighty aura emitted by the Sword Master attacked me.
