Episode 100

After crushing the sword with his hand, he grabbed the man on horseback and pulled him. He lost his balance and fell off his horse with a “whoa.”

Those who followed shouted something and jumped down from their horses.

Quilbian bent down and took off the helmet of the fallen man. Twenty-two at most?

He had his eyes closed and his face blank, as if he had fainted.

“Get back now!”

The other four men spoke as they thrust their knives in like manner.

“Even pigs smile and shake hands when they first meet, but why are you guys so great that you’re the first to offer your swords? Oh, has the world changed so much that we’ve come to an era where we greet each other with swords? Is that so?”

Quilbian walked slowly and stood in front of the four. Contrary to his excited shouts, when the distance between them narrowed, all four of them flinched and stepped back.

I looked at the eyes revealed through the well-made helmet.

These are the eyes of a child. They wear fancy armor and ride expensive horses, but inside they are children.

His skills don’t seem that great either.

Actually, it’s not a big deal even if you get stabbed. Even if the sword touches you in the first place, will it damage your spirit body?

Although it did not have the durability of the main body, the spirit body realized with Nak and a small amount of mana boasted considerable strength.

“We, as the rightful executors!”

“Don’t yell.”

“ah…….”

I only said one word, but they made dumbfounded expressions. They exchanged glances, but no one showed any sign of taking responsibility.

That’s right.

“I guess that kid behind you is the leader.”

Quilbian turned around. As he took a step, he heard a sound behind him.

I don’t know who it was, but it must have taken courage. I felt the sword approaching.

I left it alone.

Tick, the sword that had touched his head bounced off with a faint sound.

The guys behind me were talking, but I didn’t listen. Instead, I slapped the unconscious guy on the cheek.

“Hey, hey. Wake up. I think you need to explain yourself.”

There wasn’t a big hit when he fell from his horse, and since he was protected by his helmet, there was probably little impact.

But I still couldn’t open my eyes.

“hey.”

He raised his cheek so high that his chin turned. Only then did he flinch and open his eyes.

He looked at me blankly as if he didn’t understand the situation, then started waving his hands and feet with an “Eww” sound.

The iron plates attached to the chest and thighs creaked and moved in sync with the body’s movements. It was quite an elaborately made armor.

“Hey, hurry up and get this guy!”

As the fallen man shouted, the young men who had been watching rushed at him again.

Quilbian was about to turn his back to the flying sword when he remembered the clothes he was wearing.

He quickly turned his body and stood up, swinging his left foot. The swords that had been caught in his foot flew into the sky.

“Ahh!”

The four men who had been holding the swords screamed at the same time and fell to the ground. The hands holding the swords were all mangled.

The two of them were in relatively better shape, with their skin torn off and bleeding.

The one who was creaking and rolling around had his wrist bent in a strange direction, and the one kneeling next to him and drooling had his index and middle fingers left their places.

“Shut your mouth. If you cry, your lower jaw will meet your nose.”

Even grown men whine about something going wrong with their hands.

All four of you kept your mouths shut, as threats proved effective even after all these years.

Quilbian smiled with satisfaction and then turned his gaze to the fallen man.

“I have so much time on my hands, I don’t want to waste it. I’m going to ask you a few questions, and every time you say something stupid, you’ll get a finger. Do you understand?”

“iced coffee…….”

“Oh, I know. Come on, do you want to lose all your fingers?”

“Please, send me back safely… … .”

Quilbian grabbed the fallen man’s left index finger. He applied a little strength to his hand to break it, and the man screamed as if he was going to faint.

“No, no!”

“What did I say?”

“I’ll tell you everything, I’ll tell you everything, you crazy bastard!”

“You little punk, you have a keen eye.”

Quilbian laughed at the word crazy and put his finger down.

“Where is this place? It might be an area I know.”

“Gen Daeyoungji-do, east. It’s near the buttocks where Arilta got off.”

“Arilta’s butt? What’s the name?”

“The original name of this forest was… … .”

“Oh, really? Then that’s fine.”

Gen Daeyoungji.

It was my first time hearing of this place.

In fact, I had been working as a slave since I was young and had never left the village, so I didn’t know much about the outside world.

The only thing I’ve heard of is the Kingdom of Nata?

All civilization is transmitted through the body. It is a saying we have often heard.

“Where is the Kingdom of Natah?”

“Wow, the kingdom?”

“Why? What’s strange?”

“It is a kingdom, but these days, the term ‘17 Kingdoms of the Linehens’ is used more often than ‘kingdom’.”

“Linehens 17 countries? What is that?”

The fallen man blinked. A look of absurdity appeared that made him forget his fear.

“Are you asking because you don’t know?”

“I don’t know, so I’m asking.”

“La, 17 nations gathered under the name of Reinheuns.”

“Hey, that’s what happened? But if the 17 countries of Linehens mean Nata, does that mean Nata is the leading country?”

“Yes. Some people call it the Natta Empire, but the Natta Royal Family has declared that it is not an empire, but the 17 countries of the Linehens… … .”

“Ah, things have changed a lot.

Quilbian called the other four men who were groaning behind him.

As soon as I gestured, he came closer on his knees, as if he had completely lost his fighting spirit.

“What is your name?”

I asked the fallen man.

“The great plains of Sean, who inherited the glorious name of Bambond… … .”

“Shall I break a finger for you?”

“Rookie. My name is Rookie. My last name is… … .”

“You don’t need a last name.”

Quilbian looked back. He pointed to each person from the left and called out their names.

“You’re number 1, next one’s number 2, you’re number 3. So what are you?”

He pointed to the fourth person sitting and asked.

“It’s number 4.”

“You’re smart. They say that even brains get better when they’re put together. You guys would know things that Rookie doesn’t. Right?”

Everyone nodded after looking at Rookie.

He grabbed the rookie of Quilbian by the collar and lifted his upper body up.

“Before we start, I said let’s talk, but you guys started the fight first. Don’t feel bad. It’s uncomfortable to feel bad if you get angry for no reason.”

It was obvious that they didn’t know what salt was, but all five nodded without saying anything.

“Anyway, the Kingdom of Nata has become the strongest, right?”

“okay.”

“How long does it take to get here?”

“If you move leisurely, it will take about two months.”

“It’s close.”

The rookie was impressed but didn’t say much.

“Next question. Does anyone know of a town called Rookin?”

“Luke? I don’t know.”

“It was quite large because it was a transit point for goods heading to the big city.”

Number 1 lifted his peeled palm pitifully. Quilbian nodded.

“Can you tell me the name of that big city?”

“It was Delun. Oh, it must be Delun.”

“I know Delun. But it’s not a big city, it’s a kingdom.”

“Oh really? We have a king.”

“It was there from the beginning.”

“Originally? No. In the Delun I knew, there was no such thing as a king. I’ve only heard a few.”

wait for a sec.

“By the way, do you know when Delun became a kingdom?”

Number 3 coughed slightly and then said.

“I heard it from my great-grandfather… … .”

“Did you meet your great-grandfather? Your family must be doing well. They say rich people live long lives. Anyway, what did he say?”

“It was a city with a parliament about 160 years ago. My great-grandfather often told me about world history, and that’s what he said.”

“It’s been a long time. I haven’t counted since 130 years ago.”

It seemed like all existing knowledge had to be discarded.

“You guys, have you ever heard of the Barara tribe?”

All five nodded.

A bitter smile came out for no reason. Winte’s words came to mind. ‘I don’t know about you, who was in charge of the bottom of society.’

“Are you all the guys from the same house?”

When someone looks at him, he slowly turns his eyes away.

“I’m not trying to harm you, I’m just jealous. How well off do you have to be to pull out a sword and what? A glorious name?”

He hit the back of Rookie’s head.

Rookie glared at him for a moment, but then looked away as if nothing had happened.

“People shouldn’t live by sinning. But you tried to do something terrible to me. Do you admit it? Raise your hands if you don’t.”

Everyone quietly placed their hands on their thighs.

“I don’t expect much. Just make room for me to meet Bararajok.”

“yes?”

Number 1 blinked.

“You want to meet the Barara tribe?”

“Yeah. Why? No?”

“That… … I know someone, but I don’t have the ability to introduce them to you.”

“You might not be capable. Hey, Rookie. You seem to come from a better family than these guys. Are you capable?”

“Oh, it’s not that difficult, but he’s just… … .”

“You can do it, you can’t do it. Just do one of the two.”

“I can arrange a seat for you.”

“Really? Then introduce me.”

Quilbian looked straight into Rookie’s eyes.

“I know what you’re thinking. I know you’re not lying. You’ll be in a position to introduce me. And you’re planning on killing me in the process.”

“That, that.”

“It’s okay. I don’t care. I just need to meet the Barara tribe. As long as you let me meet, I don’t care if you kill me or not. Oh, but you can’t kill me. My hide is a bit tough.”

Quilbian held Rookie’s broken sword in his hand. The blade crumpled in his palm and then melted away.

Rookie, who was looking at the dripping liquid that had turned red, said with his chin trembling.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I didn’t recognize you… … .”

“I like the word noble. I’d rather be a noble than a monster.”

He patted the back hard and lifted the rookie up. He also nodded to the other four.

Four men stood up like soldiers carrying military banners.

“Don’t feel bad about it. That’s something that can happen when guys fight each other. Right?”

There was no answer.

“And you guys, were you chasing people? There were about thirty of them.”

From 1 to 4, he looked down at the floor. Quilbian looked at Rookie.

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Illegal immigration?”

“Yes. Leaving the territory without permission is subject to severe punishment.”

“How much shit must life be for you to risk your life and run away? Of course, Rookie, I understand your situation. Since you’re in charge, you have to go catch those below you. But you know, I took the clothes.”

Quilbian grabbed his sleeve and shook it gently.

“This is the first gift I’ve ever received. How kind of you to take care of me. You took care of me while I was running away.”

“… … .”

“Don’t kill me, just let me go. Instead, I’ll save your face. That’s a good thing, right? Right?”

“All right.”

He was a good boy who listened well.

“Come on, get on your horse quickly. We have to go.”

“Please climb aboard my horse.”

Number 1 pointed to the brown horse and said, “It looks well-groomed because its fur is shiny.”

“A sick child should ride. Even if your hands are weak, can you still ride a horse?”

“Yeah, whatever.”

It was number 1, who easily mounted the horse with one hand. They were young kids, but it was obvious that they had learned.

Is this a gathering of young masters?

“Let’s go. I’ll follow you.”

Rookie glanced at him in confusion, then quickly jerked the reins.

I lightly stamped my feet as I followed the running horse.

I stood next to Rookie and ran side by side.

At first, Rookie looked as if it could be possible, but after an hour, his face gradually hardened.

“Hey, are you okay?”

“It’s okay. If you can speed it up, pay more. No, it’ll be hard to talk. Take your time. You have plenty of time.”

Rookie looked forward, his head creaking.
