The Bastard’s Way of Life of the Returning Swordsman - The Bastard’s Way of Life of the Returning Swordsman chapter 49

Episode 49

overwhelming gap (4)

Deungryong (登龍).

He is the least known of the nine dragons representing Ragnar.

It was because he rarely went outside, and even in Winterer he lived in seclusion for most of the year.

But.

The 9 dragons knew.

If the back dragon were to come out to the outside world, there would be great trouble.

Including the insidious Black Dragon,

The one that the other 9 dragons respect the most and are wary of.

That was the Deungryong.

“Now is the time for you to come.”

Julius and Princess Maehwa were waiting for the appearance of such a back dragon.

In fact, they were greatly surprised when it was announced that Deungryong would serve as the judge for this opening ceremony.

It was because, in spite of the family head’s continued request, he had not been able to resolve the seclusion.

I couldn’t tell what the wind was blowing.

However, everyone is well aware of Deungryong’s skills and discernment.

Even being politically neutral, there was a belief that candidates would be evaluated objectively.

“I’m testing those kids, but what are you going to do with these 9 dragons lightening their hips like this?”

At that time, the head of the Senate, Wolfgang, crossed his arms and clicked his tongue in disapproval.

After Ed hugged his dead nephew’s body and quietly exited the school,

Every time Wolfgang tried to devalue this rider in this way.

Of course, there was no one who didn’t know that it was his resentment for having retired most of the senate candidates he pushed.

“You are coming.”

At that time, all the gazes of the officials turned toward the door at the words of the Maehwagungju.

Awesome!

jerebuck-

Through the crack in the wide open door, the back dragon slowly walked with his hands behind his back.

As usual, he had an indifferent face.

All the executives except for Wolfgang, including Julius and the Maehwagungju, stood up and bowed their heads.

It was a greeting of respect for a great senior.

Deungryong looked at it and nodded silently,

“How was it?”

Julius asked a sneaky question.

At that moment, a thin smile appeared on the deungryong’s stern face.

‘Deungryong… … Are you laughing?’

Julius was dazed for a moment.

It’s been over 20 years since I’ve known Deungryong in person, but it’s the first time I’ve seen him like that.

‘for a moment. Where have you seen this situation?’

In an instant, a warning light lit up in Julius’ head.

“I proposed a disciple to a child I liked very much.”

“… … !”

“Deungryong-nim! that’s… … !”

Julius opened his mouth wide when his anxiety became reality, and the Princess of the Flowers jumped up from his seat in shock.

It was because the two of them could not imagine that Deungryong would suddenly become a new rival (?).

In particular, it was also a story that made the conversation chilling for the plum palace owner.

She has heard a report from Natasha about Felix’s actions.

I couldn’t help but feel nervous because I hadn’t even properly explained to Theo yet.

On the other hand, Wolfgang and other executives were surprised for other reasons.

– Deungryong, who had not even taken on disciples in his entire life, now has a talented person who is greedy!

That fact alone was enough to make Winterer excited.

“I mean it was a car. this me.”

However, at the words that followed, all the executives breathed in vain.

There must have been so many places in Winter that people who wanted to see the back dragon’s sword at least once would get kicked.

What do you say when you hear them?

And.

It was obvious who the talented person who had committed that nonsense was.

“Looks like you’ve been quiet for so long. Won.”

“… … That is, unfortunately, a thing.”

“You hide the corners of your mouth that twitch while talking, but?”

Julius secretly covered his mouth with his hand.

The corners of his eyes, exposed above his palms, widened.

“Oops, my mistake. Did you see it?”

“Anyway… … . Genji, who was so polite, is gone and only a snarl is left.”

The Dragon Dragon shook his head.

He, too, was well aware of the great war of nerves between Julius and the plum palace over Theo.

“Anyway, that’s how it happened. The final result will be known soon, but the score for this chief is 3,021 points. Everyone take note.”

“… … !”

“… … !”

“… … That, what about that score?”

The executives once again opened their mouths in a stronger shock.

Scores above 3,000 points.

Because that meant a lot.

The Dragon Dragon nodded and said.

“A record that has only been broken once in the past thousand years has been broken again. In just 14 years.”

“… … !”

“… … !”

“… … !”

cluck-

The sound of someone swallowing dry saliva could be heard.

“Thorkel, I’m curious to see what kind of expression he’ll make.”

One corner of the back dragon’s mouth curled up.

* * *

-The one who broke through the 3,000 of demons appeared again!

The rumor that began to spread by borrowing the mouth of the Judge, Deungryong, made Winterer excited.

3,000 demons.

This word has actually been talked about in Winterer for a very long time.

It was because there was no test taker that surpassed 3,000 points in the second opening ceremony held every year.

The recovery of the purple mahjong,

Acquisition of hidden rules,

High awareness of properties, etc.

It was the result of so many tasks that had to be preempted to achieve 3,000 points.

For that reason, test takers tended to rank first even if they scored more than 1,000 points.

With that alone, he was able to select and enter the unit he wanted while holding the modifier ‘successful’.

What if it exceeds 2,000 points?

With the title of ‘Junjae’, he was classified as the equivalent to be responsible for Ragnar in the future.

So, in fact, the wall of 3,000 points has been called only an unknown area that no one can break.

Then, 14 years ago, the demon 3 thousand was broken for the first time.

A true ‘genius’ appeared.

-Thorkel Ragnar.

Currently, he is the youngest candidate among the top 5 candidates who are evaluated as close to the next state head.

As the captain of the Black Iron Age, he was the one who received the greatest support from the young swordsmen for his outstanding achievements on numerous battlefields.

So people thought.

After Thorkel, no one will break the wall of the forehead.

The evaluation of the public was that other test takers had no choice.

By the way,

That kind of evaluation would be mercilessly broken again.

And.

-The chief said Theo Ragnar again.

When the fact that the idiot of the Rose Palace was the main character of the rumor was further added, everyone was silent.

I don’t know how to accept it.

Or, because I don’t know how to react.

But that silence was soon broken.

Around that time, a statement was issued on behalf of Torkel at the Black Iron Base.

– A friend you want to meet at least once.

No other words were needed.

That was enough.

“Third! We need to find out what the final 3rd exam will be like!”

“What about the lord? What does the head of the household think of that friend?”

“Dongbaek Palace! Didn’t you say Theo Ragnar’s mother was in the Camellia Palace? Send someone quickly, come on!”

“I hear that Theo Ragnar carries a Zweihander, and that it was made in a Basque workshop? Ask if you can make another sword of that size, hurry up!”

Everyone was busy and started moving.

And I paid attention to the ears.

to the final third test.

* * *

The third flowering ceremony took place immediately after a short break.

“The content of the 3rd exam is very simple.”

All the test takers fixed their eyes on the back of the back dragon, who returned to the position of judge.

They were currently on their way to the next test site.

Knock!

The sound of someone swallowing dry saliva was unusually loud.

“Some of you seem to already know.”

The judge said with a smirk.

“It’s a one-on-one sword fight with the householder.”

“… … !”

“… … !”

“… … Go, are you saying you can get to know the head of the family directly?”

To Ragnar’s trainee swordsman, the existence of the ‘homeowner’ was like a star far away and high.

Can you see it in person?

Of course I have to tremble.

In fact, some even had eyes wet with envy.

“yes. for now.”

However, the way the judge answered was somehow strange.

Positive yet somewhat bittersweet… … .

However, only Theo noticed such a subtle change.

‘Conflict between Deungryong and Gaju… … was very famous Everyone’s just sighing.’

While Theo smiled wryly, the back dragon continued his explanation.

“But most of you won’t even be able to see the tip of the head of the household. Because I have to stand in front of him myself, breaking through the murderous spirit of the family head.”

Wellington and Erica swallowed dry saliva as if they were very nervous.

But most of the other test takers tilted their heads.

Even if the housekeeper was afraid of living, it would be just a simple momentum, not an attack, but I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to break through it.

“If you succeed up to that point, the family head will personally bestow a sword. It is up to you to decide what you will find there. Points will be given differentially according to the gap in enlightenment, so please refer to it.”

Candidates clenched their fists.

If the post-war changes were evaluated after the sword fight, there was a good chance that they could take the top spot this time.

‘You mean I can meet my father again?’

Theo seemed to be reminded of the time when he faced Kyle, the family man, a few months ago.

The ecstasy, excitement, and tension I felt then.

And,

-The joy I felt when I first encountered the beam of light.

I had a strong desire to relive that moment again.

But.

On the other hand, I felt that way too.

-It’s Kyle.

The answer I heard when I asked who stole the dragon heart from the guardian dragon, Lodbrok.

-Still, he is one of the few beings with the positional ability to break and tear all those bonds and rise to the position of head of the household. The bad guy who made me this way deserves to be praised for his ability and will.

-So, as a human being, you can be proud of your father. your father… … yes. He has a human body, but is not human. Yet, as the most human being, he is a monstrous human who looks at the level of a god.

 Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Lodbroke also had a high opinion of Kyle.

With the body of a half, he is a true monster that breaks human limits.

‘If I had to stand up again, what would I do?’

Of course, he still had to hide the fact that he was the guardian dragon’s contractor, so he wouldn’t reveal it.

Still, if you were a Kyle-level person, you could see through the other person’s mindset enough.

-Are you an enemy or an ally?

Because I don’t know the hidden secret about Kyle.

Theo hadn’t yet fully established his mindset.

That was then.

“Okay then, the third exam begins.”

Suddenly, the referee stopped running straight ahead and threw a comment.

Candidates were concentrating on the approaching building over there and suddenly couldn’t even ask what it meant.

coo… … !

A strong pressure fell on Theo and all the candidates.

The pressure that crushed the shoulder and squeezed the lungs.

“Ouch!”

“Kurreuk… … !”

Most of the test takers passed out with foam at the mouth.

At least five people are standing.

They were Theo, Wellington, Ray, Erica and Holcus.

“Damn it! What the hell is this!”

Holkes seemed to be trying to shake off the pressure somehow with force.

But the more he did, the more the pressure became stronger and more pressing on his shoulders.

thud!

In the end, his one knee couldn’t stand it and he hit the ground.

‘Dragon Fear and… … They look alike.’

Theo could realize that this pressure on his son-in-law was very similar to what he felt in the dungeon.

Of course, it has an intense destructive power that cannot be compared with it.

Knowing the principle alone seemed to explain why Kyle could show such a force of nature.

‘My father ate Lodbroke’s dragon heart!’

The cabin on top of the ridge where Kyle is,

Now, in Theo’s eyes, it looked like a nest in which a dragon was sitting.

Right then.

Tring!

[The quest has arrived.]

A new message appeared.
