Chapter 10 : Ill-Fated Relationshi+p With Bardray

Destruction of the Embinyu Church 11th Sect was a B-rank quest

”Woaah!”

”Are we gonna fight the E force?”

”Won't it be too dangerous?”

”Seems really fun”

Weed sold off the quest and ot word fro An exhaustive cash business!

Yelloayed his pendulous rump happily

Moooooooooooo!

If his Master was rich, Yellowy hoped that Weed would allow hiwort is an herb used as an ingredient in many dishes]

However, Weed was heartless ”Even barley bread is expensive, so you'd only be able to pick up sowort? I can't afford to give it to you I'll ie bibi eyes sorrowfully, but that happened every day Even so, Weed always prepared hay for hi, too He had no other cory and had no strength froer He'd been forced to do so aining life Even Yelloas gaining wisdom about life

”Looks like it's time to identify this now”

Weed pulled out the seal he had received from Mercenary Smith He could basically tell its use from the appearance It was probably a seal that verified Lords or nobles as theon part as he examined the unique points of the sculpture

”Identify!”

Weed was also a skilled Sculptor who had num Opuses Every time a sculpture of his was completed, it noisily shook the Versailles Continent

”Cough!”

A work so incredible that it could even o into convulsions!

The broad staon that looked like it was flying in the sky possessed liveliness and beauty

”It's old and feels worn because it's been touched verywork”

The parts that hands could reach were severely grimy, andpassage of tiold The seal had beenof the characteristics of the ed were detailed and made with a level of skill that even Weed wouldn't have been able to achieve It looked like a dirty golden dragon from afar, but up close, it felt as if it would come to life and move at any moment

”I kneasn't a normal work, but who could really make such a sculpture?”

There was one person who vaguely came to mind

If it was an emperor's royal seal, then it didn't need to be said more than once that it would be treasured preciously Even so, the royal seal had endured so much time that it had becoan to play for Weed-- it was aordinary cloth attire was sculpting

In a huge royal palace, knights andprostrate with extreme politeness

Slice, slice

The for knife The knifeits breath

He shaved the places needing to be shaved and added to the places needing to be added Only noron that was being created possessed such nobility that one could not tear their eyes away fro knife ht possibly reat work However, when the sculpting knife sliced past, the figure was transfor cohable

A treasure! A golden dragon and stanity with their radiant beauty!

It was the birth of the royal seal

”May this be the item that symbolizes me,” declared the old icians then cried out ”We accept the will of His Majesty!”

It didn't end there There were countless sculptures across the royal palace! They were similar to the humans, but the sculptures with superior physical conditions, the animal sculptures, the bird sculptures, and sculptures that looked like monsters all opened their mouths at the same time

”We accept the will of our Master!”

SwordNoob let out a deep sigh

”I' a woman is difficult because I' Orcs, Dark Elves, or Huirlfriends and also hunted in parties

”I heard even SwordNoob16 held hands with his girlfriend”

”When?”

”Within thirty-seven days, apparently”

”Woah, that's fast! Is it okay to progress so quickly?”

”The truly fast one is someone else SwordNoob401 already went arm-in-arm to the movie theatre”

”damn, all the way to the s likethe movie?”

”I'm told he watched an action irlfriend brick s and a two-tiered roundhouse kick and she liked it, calling hiend-like love stories that cah there were also many cases where couples didn't istration was cancelled, or were sent a text that said sorry

”Phew, those things all happen when you're young”

SwordNoob envied the passion of the disciples If he had just been at the age of the instructors or so, he would've been able toan oppa from a mister took no time at all these days

[T/N: Oppa is an informal way to call an older male, used for both familial and external relationshi+ps ”Oppa” indicates a lot more closeness than ”mister”]

However, because SwordNoob was a seasoned irls and wo ability was fearso only in the late 200s for level, he elcome in any party If SwordNoob just went to the square, everyone tried to recruit him

Only, it was just that the atround

”Uularly use honorifics with hi and youthful partyintimately, but it wasn't easy for SwordNoob to fit in with theroup as hiather in the world of Royal Road”

There were many in their early 30s or 40s, of course They were very coe If the men fished, the ones that looked like their wives would make spicy seafood stew for them

”Honey, please eat so”

It was a very heartwarht

There were also cases where they set up a shop and conducted business, but their young children would occasionally come to buy a weapon, armor, or miscellania

”Son, can you buy arrows from us for 20 Gold?”

”Mom, what kind of harsh joke is that?”

”Honey, our son says he's leaving the house”

”Alright As his parents, it's probably our duty to at least call over a ht?”

There were affectionate scenes of children getting daringly ripped off by their parents

SwordNoob went around cities and towns as he roamed He massacred monsters that came at him in the wilderness, and also leapt into nests of , I did things like this so often”

He held a sword in his ry, he skewered fish in a deep part of the clear river It was truly difficult to overco his sword to catch fish However, SwordNoob actually succeeded easily That was because he didn't push forcefully, but followed the current's flow to catch fish

Ding!

Sword Mastery skill proficiency has improved

</tbody>

His Sword Mastery skill went up even while catching fish They weren't high leveled ain Sword Mastery as a characteristic of the location Like Sculpting, the Sword Mastery skill grew on diverse experiences

”While I'm like this”

SwordNoob floated to the top of the water, took in a big breath, and went into the river again

Swiiiisshh!

The sword he swung in a single breath slid past the body of a fish

Swords sashi+ its eyes, alive And while underwater, as well!

Sorriness filled SwordNoob's eyes 'Looks like I can't do this because it's cruel'

It had been a long time since he had properly shown off his swordsmanshi+p skills After that time when life and death had been separated by a second, he had never done his best Even Royal Road was si his still-honed swordsmanshi+p, but he was sorry for the fish SwordNoob almost never even hunted herbivores like rabbits, squirrels, or deer in the Versailles Continent, either

'So I can't even eat there's no need to take their lives pointlessly'

Feeling sorry, SwordNoob wrapped the fish in bandages They were still alive, due to his marvelous swordsmanshi+p

”Gasp!”

Then he rose to the top of the water and moved downstream It wasn't that he deter randomly

There were people downstreaedpole and his wife

”D-dear”

”Hht sashi+es al pole's bait and was co up

”The world is truly difficult”

SwordNoob sat down under a large old tree

His Sword Mastery skill was Advanced level 6 at 89 With growth at an unbelievable speed, it was at a stage where Master level of Sword Mastery was not far But orth was there in raising his level and polishi+ng his Sword Mastery skill?

”This is the vice of an old dog Might there not be aaround alone?”
