Chapter 1120 – The Royal Palace

But first you have to say hello.

“Hello, Sword Master. This is the first time since the martial arts competition and the Valkyrie War reward event.”

I bowed my head and took a quick look at the sword master in front of me. Also. There is no big difference from what I saw during the martial arts competition.

The brown bangs were neatly cut in a straight line, and the ends of the long hair that stretched on both sides had waves. I don’t know, but it seems to be well managed. He is in his mid 170’s.

“…”

Then he raises his head again and looks at her face.

ㅡIt is strong.

The Heavenly Demon Kim Katt, who reached superhuman status, realized that the opponent in front of him was very strong. I can’t deny anything about this. It seems certain that he is stronger than me now.

There was a reason Karin rated it that way.

But it doesn’t seem as transcendent as it seemed before. The martial arts tournament was about a year ago, and I am stronger than ever. The perspective itself is different from that time.

If it was this Kim Katt, sooner or later I would be able to surpass this person.

Right now, I was thinking about that while watching Sword Master.

“You have pretty good eyes.”

After watching it for a while, she said with a smile.

“Eyes full of fighting spirit and violence. Many of the nomadic warriors had those eyes. Many of my former comrades had those eyes.”
“…”
“Most of them are dead.”

What the fuck?

“I have the eyes that warriors ought to have. Could it be that you were thinking of fighting and winning while looking at me?”

Apparently, this woman had been drunk with blood for so many years that she had blossomed her ability to maliciously distort people. I’m not a person of blood, so how can I think that when I look at people?

“Could that be?”
“Is it?”

At my answer, she grinned.

This woman… Even at the awards ceremony for the martial arts competition the other day, she said it proudly, remembering the past when she slaughtered the Mirkesha people in front of me.

After all, at this point, the Ark will have a mental state different from that of a normal person like me.

“Anyway, it’s been a while. Simple… Yes. You can call me Paladin. As they say, it’s the first time since the Valkyrie War reward.”
“That’s right. Very nice to meet you.”
“Never mind what I just said. It’s just something I’ve said.”

Is that what you just did?

Hehe, I don’t really care. But I’m interested in the warriors with those eyes.”
“Ohhh, is that so. Yes. If you’re a warrior, of course you can’t help but be interested. Above all, it’s the story of your ancestors.”

For some reason, her face seemed to light up.

Is it true that the story of ancestors is mentioned here, is it padlip or not?

It was oddly difficult to judge that.

But it wouldn’t be a cibiter. It was because this person had a high regard for the Mirkesha warriors, and she seemed to believe that killing them was a natural and honorable thing.

“The Mirkesha people are a ferocious tribe. Although they are now in decline, the warriors of that time were all full of fighting spirit and were extremely beautiful. Paladins’ eyes look similar to those of those warriors.”

She poured out her story with the tension typical of a lunatic.

“It reminds me of my old comrades… By the way, that guy who was a sword master from the previous generation also had those eyes.”
“You mean the former Sword Master?”
“He’s a retired old man now. He’s already over a hundred years old.”

Circumstantial, he it seems to be older than Cloudy.

“It’s said that he’s retired and his skills are rusted, but sometimes I think about how to deal with him if he gets into dementia and goes wild. Haha. It’s a pretty interesting idea.”

Dementia Sword Master is fucking scary.

“Anyway, when I was young, I learned how to cut a knife from that old man… It’s a long time ago.”
“Ohh. You mean Sword Master-sama’s teacher?”
“You can do that.”

This was interesting information.

However, she is quite good at this woman’s affability. Is she also old enough? She seemed to see the type of division commander who came to her unit her out of the blue and spoke kindly to her soldiers her.

“Ah, that’s a long story. It’s no use putting young people in front of you, so old stories come out.”
“It wasn’t very long.”
“I’m glad you did. First of all, Paladin will have a talk with our princess today. I’ll have to let you know.”

Princess.

Is she coming out on her own?

“Is the princess giving me a reward herself?”
“Because it’s something like that. Well, that’s the story. I volunteered to be the escort. I wanted to have a talk with the paladin like this.”

He wanted to talk with me.

—Sue.

After saying that, the Sword Master turned around and started walking slowly.

Will this person guide you now?

I’m right next to her.
She settled slightly behind her and followed.

“Isn’t he a talented young warrior fighting on the front lines?

You’re evaluating me right.
As expected of a sword master, he has a cool-headed eye.

In fact, even the royal family regards me as an extraordinary hero, so a sword master would of course know. The information power of the Karga Kingdom is considerable.

Hehe, thank you so much for giving me such a high rating.”
“That’s a fair evaluation. Didn’t you say you defeated the Great Devil this time?”
“That’s right.”

Is that also what you’re curious about?

“From my point of view, who has lived through this experience, if you say that he killed the great devil at that age, you can literally say that he is a talented new generation.”
“I don’t know what to do with the compliment.”
“So what kind of existence was the Great Devil? I couldn’t stand it because I was curious about that.”

I briefed her right away about her Andromalius.

The guy is strong and fast.

First of all, not all archeemons will share the same characteristics. Andromalius was a mage who specialized in destroying armies and cities.

With the girls backing me up, I fought a fierce battle with him and won, and I told him everything about it.

“Certainly. You can’t stop it with a normal army. The same goes for incompetent knights, so it’ll be difficult if you don’t mobilize wizards and real warriors.”
“That’s my judgment too.”
“I’m a bit interested in those other companions too, but that’s over. Oh, these days, humans are weak. To think there’s a commotion because of those demons.”

Have you ever killed a demon?

“But there will be a bigger uproar. From my point of view, this is just an incident where the devil’s vanguard came.”
“I guess so.”
“…”
“I’m really looking forward to it.”

Showing aggression.

ㅡ Jerking and bucking.

I followed the sword master like that. Her steps her were frustratingly slow. The corridors of the royal palace are fucking big and wide, but I’m walking too leisurely right now.

Is there a lot you want to ask me?

Or is it moving like this and figuring out about me?

It is a reasonable inference. From now on, I’m going to treat the royal family alone, so I can prepare for that much. It is even more necessary if it is inside the palace.

“They say that ancient humans were stronger than they are now. That’s why they were able to overcome such wars. They probably had a larger population and higher technology.”

Listen to her story while walking through the corridors of the palace.

“But… Don’t you think the current human race is too weak compared to that?”

She asked something as she walked… I could tell from that question that she was still thirsty for battle. Why the heck does this monster keep quiet under the king’s court?

“Depending on your point of view, that might be the case. But aren’t human enemies also weakened by the war at that time? I think it’s the same.”

Anyway, to answer the question, right now, even the great demons of Pandaemonium said they were fucking behind them. As I said, the current great demons are the 2nd generation great demons.

Demons after the idol war.

As a whole, all forces other than human beings have weakened, so the social structure and appearance have only formed a form suitable for it.

“You might think so… But it is true that they are weak compared to other races.”
“I admit it.”
“By the way, sleep.”

—-Stop.

As she walked, she suddenly stopped and looked back at me.

“Yes.”
“How can I say, your attitude has changed considerably since then. At the time of the martial arts competition, I thought that being bold was lacking a lot.”

Be bold

“At that time, did n’t you feel great fear in front of me and treat me politely? That’s why I thought it was a little strange. At the competition site, he jumped up like that and changed his attitude right away.”

This is a bit embarrassing.

Hehe, is that so? I couldn’t help it. The strongest person in the kingdom is the Sword Master, isn’t it? So at that time, I was a little too nervous.”

Back then, I was a bit of a sucker.

“And people who are seeing it for the first time are naturally more wary, isn’t it?

At the time, she was quite scared to put her in front of her and sweated like hell, but now I don’t really feel that way. ‘Cause I’ve gotten stronger since then.

Not afraid.

I am a body that has already forgotten fear.

“Haha, I see. Well, if you think about it, your attitude is very different from when you were on stage and now.
Hehe, that’s right. Hey. I can see through this right away.”

That’s because this is the inside of the royal palace.

I don’t even have a knife in my hand.

Most of all, because this person is not really an enemy.

Originally, people change their attitude depending on the opponent.

“I get it roughly.”

What do you want to know

“Then what should I accept the attitude now? Does it mean that I am not afraid or nervous now?”
“Yes.”
“Oh, why?”
“Is there any reason for me to be afraid of Sword Master? He’s not an enemy, so there’s no need for that.”
“He’s It’s not an enemy… That’s it. Well, I like it more than then. Yes. A warrior should have this taste. You’d better follow your ancestors.”

No. Why do you keep mentioning my ancestors, whom Ji personally slaughtered?

Not a real ancestor though.

Anyway, now I’m saying that I like it a little bit, are you saying this? When I saw it, it was clear that there would be nothing good about receiving the attention of such a psychopath.

“During the martial arts competition, I thought I was just a kid with some skills and talent. I think I’m definitely better now.”
“At that time, I was a serious kid.”

Anyway, I walked while talking to the sword master.

Other than that, we talked about things going on in the world, but there was nothing particularly memorable about it.

“So, from the perspective of a young paladin, how is the world today?”
“You mean the world?”
“We know that there are signs of a great war.”

The Sword Master seemed to expect it. If a second idol war breaks out, would you think of playing active duty? If it’s this level of aggression, it’s good enough.

“It’s dangerous. Imagine that the Great Demons have invaded from all over the world. The lords defending each region won’t be able to stop it on their own.”
“I mean that’s what I think… All young people think the same.”
“Is that so?”

Anyway, since I was diligently walking like that.

ㅡ Toouk.

I stopped in front of a large door.

“Here it is.”
“…”

Is Princess Karga on the other side of this gate?

“You just need to be polite. Then.”

ㅡ Kikkiik.

She opened the door and I slowly went inside. Inside was very spacious. And, just like the corridor, it is pure white. In such a pure white space, there were various kinds of luxurious furniture.

On its front.

“…”

Sitting there was Princess Einfel, with her long, platinum blonde hair hanging down, and a rather languid look.

She smiled softly at me.

It was a kind of decadent impression that could be seen in her twisting corners of the eyes of her.
