Chapter 832: The Limits of Swordsmanship
You looked at your own bounty and couldn't help but curse in your heart.
But no one cared much about it, because it was a very normal thing. At this time, Belmare still had the strength to fight. Moreover, due to its special location and nature, in the war history of this continent, this place will always exist as a crown, rather than the first to attack.
Belmare would only be attacked when the empire was extremely powerful, and it would usually be taken down without bloodshed.
There's no way, this is the center of Arad.
However, for the people of Belmar, this kind of life was quite unhappy, so for a long time, they longed to have their own resistance power.
Although every resistance was not very successful.
Therefore, they often offer rewards to some young and promising people in the empire. It is okay if they are in the empire, but once they come out, they may be attacked.
As for where the funds come from?
I don’t know about that.
Anyway, at present in Belmar, the struggle between merchants and royal families is still quite intense. It is in a very fierce process, and it can be said that it is a situation of life and death.
Because of this, the Empire became more and more covetous of Belmar, which is why it had to open up the Bantu territory.
Because in this case, Belmar would have no chance of resisting at all.
So Belmare is very dangerous for you at this moment.
However, you sneered.
The Belmar people offered a bounty for the best swordsman, the Ice Prince Li Ke.
What does it have to do with her, the Flame Witch Klee?
"No, you can't be called Keli. You have to change your name."
You thought about it, chose another name, and skillfully put on the ladies' dress that you stole from a wealthy family.
"Well, let's just call her Lina Inbas!"
You looked at the sword that was also stolen from the other person's house and nodded with satisfaction.
There is no way. Your imperial standard sword was discontinued hundreds of years ago. There is nothing you can do about it!
You quickly disguised yourself, and with your agility, you made a real identity card here, and then quickly went to the Adventurer's Guild, intending to make money to go back.
After all, although you know that there are spies from the Empire here, you don’t know who they are.
Moreover, the only thing that can prove your identity is in your purse, but your purse has long been blown away to who knows where by the ice dragon, so it will only benefit some lucky person in the future.
So now you need money to recover and to go home.
But the biggest problem you are facing now is.
"Miss, would you like to have a drink with me?"
Looking at the Belmar people who were chatting you up, you felt like they were out of their minds.
After you finally got rid of these people and stole their purses, you thought about it and decided that it would be better to change back to a male identity, which would make it easier to act.
But just as you were thinking this, you saw a mission.
"I sincerely want a beautiful adventurer to come to my house to tutor my son. The prettier the better. The reward is 100 gold coins."
On the other side, there was a mission to clear monsters, which involved the powerful Minotaur, but it only gave fifty gold coins.
“…”
You were silent for a moment.
And she took the wine that the bartender silently handed to her to suppress the pain in her body - this was the tenth glass of wine given by a man.
Just as you were thinking, a steaming hot steak and potato was served, along with some soft bread and two glasses of bourbon.
"Miss, here's the steak someone ordered for you, and two glasses of nurse bourbon."
You were silent for a while again, and silently gave up your plan to change back into men's attire.
Because it’s so cool!
"Thank them for me."
You spoke in a cold tone, but then you thought that if it were you, it would be uncomfortable not to get any response, so you turned your head and smiled at the men behind you.
In an instant, the tavern cheered.
After eating and drinking, you went to buy some medicinal herbs, went back to make some medicine for yourself to repair your body, then put on black stockings and a female swordsman's uniform and walked towards the noble mansion where the mission was issued.
You passed the interview successfully. When the pervert's father and the pervert saw you, they were immediately immersed in your beauty and asked you to dance with the sword alone.
You have no problem with them staring at you, because there are many men staring at your butt in school...
There's nothing you can do about it. That's what happens when you're too good-looking. Even Hart, a guy who grew up with you, sometimes doubts his sexual orientation.
So you don't have any psychological pressure at all. Even if you throw flirtatious eyes, or hug each other, you won't feel any discomfort in your heart, because you know clearly that you are a man, a straight man, and you will not be attracted to any man. So when doing these things, you really don't have any psychological pressure at all.
As for moral integrity...
The moment you know your family background, you say goodbye to this thing.
And the sad thing is, many of these skills you learned were learned by watching your mother practice them.
Of course, going to bed with him or having your butt touched is absolutely impossible. Your skills can easily deal with these ordinary people.
The most important thing is that, as a man, you know clearly what men like. You pretended to be cool and scolded the naughty boy, but pretended not to see him when he peeked at your black stockings. This fatal temptation quickly made the little boy treat you as his private property, and he confronted his father head-on.
And you also found the noble lady, helped her build her self-confidence, and taught her how to seduce her husband.
That’s right, this young lady from an aristocratic family is not as good at hooking up with rich men as you.
Just like that, under the temptation of your increasingly charming and attractive wife, and with the help of your son's food protection efforts, you easily got your salary.
But you didn't get it for nothing. At least the atmosphere in this family has become very harmonious, and their son has indeed learned a set of swordsmanship that you summarized to restrain the swordsmanship of the Belmar people, and has laid a good foundation in swordsmanship. As long as he thinks and practices hard, he will be a famous swordsman in the future.
Because of your outstanding performance, you were rewarded with 200 gold coins. After recovering from your injuries, you quickly set out on the journey back to the empire.
In the sixteenth year, you begin to move towards the territory of the empire and return to your country by ship.
There were no troubles along the way. In fact, because you hid your identity and became a female lady, you were treated very well. On this passenger ship, countless people wanted to invite you to dinner.
You agree every time, and then every time you easily get a lot of food and save a lot of money.
You can't help but feel dazed.
After returning home, you found out that everyone in your family thought you were dead. Your parents have been taken to live in the castle, but their strange illness has not been cured.
You talked to Hart for a long time. This guy cried and acted very unmanly, but you also learned a piece of news from him.
His father was saved, and you were posthumously knighted by the empire because of your powerful strength.
At first everyone thought you were dead, so they gave your benefactor some face and promoted your military rank as much as possible, but now it’s a bit embarrassing.
But your power is so strong that you quickly silenced everyone.
You begin your training in the Empire, and at the request of the Emperor, go to a secret base to train the Empire's swordsmanship and teach them the power of the magic sword technique.
You agreed.
You begin to train other students as an instructor and summarize your gains during this time.
There's no way. You were busy recovering from injuries and saving money in the past year and had no time to train properly. This is indeed an opportunity.
After being blown away several times by your own magic sword, you successfully recreated the Sword of Glory, the legendary magic sword that condensed the four elements.
The overwhelming force makes you dazed, and you find that this new combination of elements is quite difficult to control. You can only swing the sword.
You began trying to tame this new power, and to do so you acquired a number of magic books.
However, just as you were gradually mastering the fifth element, a huge piece of news appeared in the empire, and also shocked you out of the Imperial Swordsman Training Camp.
The old emperor passed away, the princes fought for the throne, and then, miraculously, the most unlikely prince ascended the throne!
But your benefactor was sent to jail for standing on the wrong side!
You quickly left the Imperial Swordsman training camp, rushed to the Imperial capital again, and went alone to the Emperor's coronation ceremony.
Because of who you actually are, you are allowed to come forward.
Looking at the idiot who was once cheated out of his money by you, you are speechless, knowing that your identity must not be exposed.
The young emperor who ascended the throne swept away his previous image of a waste and revealed the face and demeanor of a wise ruler, or an ambitious emperor. Beside him was a woman in a purple robe holding a lute.
Great prophet, Alice.
You saluted as a knight and looked towards the emperor, who looked back at you with a smile.
"You should know that you shouldn't have come, but you used to be my classmate, so I'll give you a chance to tell me why you came. If you can satisfy me, I don't mind forgiving your sins."
"Your Highness, on the day you ascended the throne, I have recreated the miracle of the long-lost imperial swordsmanship!"
"oh?"
Leon Heinrich III, the kid you once cheated out of flowers, sneered.
"Just you?"
You didn't say anything, but slowly stretched out your hand, and under the vigilance and fear of the guards and knights, you summoned four elemental magic swords at the same time!
These magic swords flew around you, spinning and moving according to your will. The huge magic power shocked everyone. Some guards rushed over and wanted to take you down, but were blown away by the wind around you.
Ever since you broke through yourself in despair and realized the truth, your strength has begun to grow endlessly, as if you had broken through a bottleneck.
You are no longer someone that ordinary people can fight against.
For an ordinary imperial swordsman, if he could master one magic sword technique, he would already be an extraordinary strong man. If he could summon a second one, he would be able to become the chief commander of a region and have a say within the empire.
And if one masters all three at the same time, he will become a legendary figure.
Those who can master four of them can already rival an entire legion.
And this Sword of Glory has been a legendary realm since its creation! Even the founder has never reached it! It is just a beautiful fantasy of the people!
According to legend, the user of the Sword of Glory is the one who will lead the empire to infinite glory!
So this sword is real, a sword that exists and doesn't exist in fantasy and legend.
Your face is unusually flat-necked, and the entire hall is filled with the power of the four elements, turning it into a temple.
Finally, you stretched out your hand, and the four swords slowly fell into your hands. In a flash of light, they condensed into a two-handed sword inlaid with elemental gems!
You raised the sword and saluted Leon Heinrich III, who stood up excitedly. He walked to your side and picked up the sword in your hand that was emitting a bright white light. Feeling the terrible power in it, his body and spirit couldn't help but tremble.
His body was trembling because of fear. He knew clearly that if you wanted to, you could raze this place to the ground at any time, but you didn't. You just presented the sword in front of him, presenting it in front of him with the gesture of awarding a medal.
Even though Leon Heinrich is a young man like you, when he sees something from legends and myths appearing before him at this moment, his spirit will naturally tremble, because -
Destiny is in my hands!
He immediately drew an equal sign in his mind: the one who holds the Sword of Glory, you have mastered the complete magic sword technique and embodied the Sword of Glory, and you are now waiting for his canonization, on the day he ascends the throne.
He placed his trembling sword on your shoulder and spoke with a slightly trembling voice.
"Li Ke, are you willing to become my sword of glory?!"
"willing."
You bowed your head and chose to be loyal, but not for any other reason, but to repay a favor.
Because your benefactors and your friends depend on this empire for their livelihood, you can take them away, but they will have to face displacement from then on.
That's not the return you hoped for.
Moreover, you have no interest in building a nation.
"Very well then! You will become the sharp sword of the empire! I grant you the name of the Sword of Glory! From now on, you will be my right hand!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
You have become the First Knight of the Empire, the Right Hand of the Emperor, the Sword of Glory.
Your benefactor and brother were immediately given the highest level of treatment, and your parents were treated to the best of their ability by the empire's magicians.
And your first task is to attack the Dark Elf Empire.
The Empire is actually not very interested in the dark elves. Its main purpose is to expand the market and increase its territory.
You accepted it, and after the army set out to the Dark Elf Empire, you asked your men to wait, and then—
You passed by with the sword of glory.
