Luke and Kurotan arrived at their destination, the Jabel viscountcy, after two days of travel on horseback
“So this is the Jabel viscountcy”
Luke looked around the city with an excited look The view that greeted him was sis centered on the lord’s castle Of course, the architecture and people’s clothes were slightly different
Perhaps due to the h number of armored people roamed the streets with sheathed weapons
“Let’s find a place to stay first”
“Good, I want to wash myself”
Luke looked at Kurotan in bewilderh to get Kurotan to wash himself the first time around?
“I thought you got ‘sick’ if you washed yourself?”
“I tried it and I didn’t get sick And I like being clean, now”
Luke clucked his tongue as Kurotan pretended that the past had not happened They proceeded into an inn that they found, where Luke’s eyes widened in surprise
“What the hell? Why is it so expensive?”
The inn was of standard quality, but the price exceeded Luke’s iination The innkeeper looked at Luke as if he was a country bumpkin
“Most inn’s prices are like this when there is a le open room”
“Even so, isn’t this too much?”
“If you wait until tomorrow, you won’t be able to find a roo to pay”
Luke looked around uncomfortably
He had exchanged all of his money for the currency used in the Sith E that he pay half of the money Luke possessed for a half-month stay
‘da about how to make money’
If he were currently in Hansel Kingdom, Luke would not have had to worry about money He had a house that he could ask for funds from, after all He was currently in Sith Empire, however, a far away land
Luke handed over the money with a bitter expression
“We provide three meals a day We have an open yard in the back of the inn where you can train”
The room that the innkeeper led Luke and Kurotan to looked rather comfortable, at least There were two beds next to each other, aoutdoors
“There is a well at the edge of the yard over there, you can use it to wash”
The innkeeper left the two of them to look around the inn, and Luke counted the rest of his money
“35 denaris… damn it How should I make money?”
Luke needed money immediately He had to repair the axe that had been destroyed by earl Wellington as well as buy basic equipment
He also needed to teach aura cultivation techniques to the Latilla tribe warriors that would soon be given human bodies It would be a process that would require expensive mana scrolls and potions
‘We’re not just talking about one or two coins, I’ to need a fortune… How do I approach this?’
Kurotan jumped into bed and enjoyed the texture of thefinancial problems
‘Ainvolved damn it, I suppose I could try put up some money for the martial tournament, even if it doesn’t sit ith my sense of chivalry’
Luke’s gaze headed towards Kurotan, as currently rolling around in bed
‘If it’s that bastard, it won’t be impossible to win the martial tournament either…’
Luke organized his thoughts and put away the pouch of coins into his bosom
‘HowKurotan’s axe with 35 denarins? It probably won’t be enough to gamble with’
Kurotan jumped up from bed
“I’o wash”
“Wait a little bit”
“Why?”
Luke took out a book fro
“There’s so you have to train in”
“Train? Good!”
The book that Luke had retrieved was the book of swordsmanshi+p that he had received from Reynold The mid-level swordsmanshi+p that the mercenary aura master Belloche had created Kurotan looked at the book curiously
“What is that?”
“It’s ato train you in”
“Mid-level swordsmanshi+p book?”
“Listen You’ve currently only learned basic swordsmanshi+p, and your strikes and slashes have predictable and simple paths Your attacks can be read by anyone who is somewhat skilled with the sword”
“Kurotan is strong even without learning such things”
“Even if you can becoer faster if you learn this?”
Kurotan’s face lit up at Luke’s words
“Let’s train together I also have to learn this sword style if I am to train you in it”
“All right Your decisions have always been correct until now I trust you and your decisions”
Luke se strides to the door
“You’re so easy to convince, you bastard”
There was a large clearing at the back of the inn, just as the innkeeper had said A couple ofThe sound of weapons clashi+ng rang out harshly throughout the clearing
Luke took Kurotan into a corner of the clearing
“The sword style you have been using up until now can be called the basic of basics A beginner’s style”
“Is that so?”
“Under normal circumstances, you should learn a low-level sword style after the basic sword style, but…”
Luke flashed his teeth in a smile
“With your skills, we should be able to skip that and go directly to the mid-level sword style”
Luke had learned a high-level sword style unique to the Esteban House Even so, Kurotan was able to dominate him almost effortlessly, with just a basic sword style
Luke was far superior in terms of sword techniques, but Kurotan was able to defeat hi able to a aura Even in tere difference between them
“To be honest with you, I have high expectations You are already a formidable warrior with just a basic sword style I wonder how strong you will become after you’ve learned the proven sword style of Belloche”
“If I can becoer faster, I will learn it”
“The Belloche sword style is a good fit for you The sword style is mainlydefense”
Kurotan gripped his sword and took a stance Luke opened the book and skies
“First of all, we need to ingrain the sword techniques and sword skills of the Belloche sword style into our bodies It’ll be just like the time I trained you in basic sword techniques, so you don’t have to tense up too much”
“All right”
The two h the sword skills and techniques that were in the book It was usually taken as coher level sword styles froh-level sword style in addition to having trained in the sword since a young age He was fa a sword style from a book
