Sword Pilgrim 126
Sword Pilgrim chapter 126

A few minutes ago
Gabor
It’s everywhere, a small village in a remote part of the country.
The villagers live by cutting trees, farming and hunting.
Just an ordinary, run-of-the-mill village.
But it’s located in an area where the empire and the duchy border, and there are huge forests and swamps nearby.
This is the village that started the gathering of mercenaries and vagabonds.
As soon as we entered Gabor, we ordered some food to satisfy our hunger.
A little salad and stew.
And I wanted to order a lamb steak, but there was no such thing in the small town.
The quantity deserved to be raised, but all that was available was venison.
He wasn’t in a position to pick and choose even that, so he’d let them do it and sit back and wait.
“Hey, bro.”
Wherever I go, there come those nasty people who don’t know how to take care of themselves.
To be honest, I was a little nervous that they’d start screaming “lust devil or something” again, but fortunately not.
“It’s nice. You seem to have a lot of money. I’m going to order a deer steak here. Kuhk.”
“Hyun, pilgrim? No, you’re wearing a white robe. You’re bragging about this right now, aren’t you? That you have a lot of your own money.”
“He wants me to confide in him. Caca!”
Three monks. Two yarns. Five in all.
And then there were the ones who were watching and underestimating…
“Roughly fourteen, I’d say.
Callius thought.
I’ll just have to eat my dinner and smell the blood.
“Hey, are you ignoring me?”
The vagrant approached, flashing a short window in his hand.
“Huh.”
Callius snatched his spear from him at once.
It’s a mess!
Without even a scream, it pierced through the vagrant’s heart and disappeared through the wall of the tavern. Immediately, the bald head fell.
Dismayed
Silence fell over the tavern.
But it was short-lived.
“You bastard!
He’ll be here any minute.
I can’t use my sword.
So Callius retrieved the soldiers’ retreat from subspace.
Also known as the “Morning Star”.
A blunt weapon with sharp thorns.
He wielded it with a single thread.
Bash! Pan! Pan! Pan!
Blood and brain marrow danced in all directions.
The heads of the two shaved and woolly men who had jumped in burst at once.
In the hands of a brutal extreme.
The vagrants who had tried to get up and jump at him were frozen in place like stone.
But Callius wasn’t going to leave them alone. He attacked them like lightning and blew away the ones he had just killed.
Fighting is all about momentum.
Once you set an example, the others won’t try to get close to you.
Some time later.
“The food is ready.”
“…….”
The owner put the food down, not even flinching at the sight of the corpse.
He didn’t even glance at it, as he often did, so his bottom line was truly impressive.
Callius put down the Morning Star, took out his fork and knife, and grabbed them.
First, he cleaned his palate with soup and salad.
Then a bit of stew. He cut a deer steak into lofty slices and took a bite.
It was a little bland, but good enough to eat.
I’d give it a 3 out of 10.
It reminded me of the Chiryu-yaki that was eaten in the north. “It reminded me of the Chiryu-yaki that was eaten in the north, an unusual score that should not have been given due to the nature of Callius.
I even gave it an eight.
Deer steak at a jaw-dropping bar
Originally, I wouldn’t have eaten it even if they held my money, but I had no choice.
The food in subspace was so good that I had to save it just in case.
“Still, you can eat stew.”
The stew was still about a four.
Katakata
As I was tasting the food, the gatekeeper I had seen before appeared, withdrew his money and backed away.
He did something, but I understood immediately.
“‘You had a conscience.’
I think I was ripped off.
🅼🅰🅺🅴 🆂🆄🆁🅴 🆈🅾🆄 🆁🅴🅰🅳🅸🅽🅶 🅰🆃 korea nmtl . onl ine
They’re afraid because the gang’s been slaughtered. I don’t care, but I didn’t like the idea of just letting them go.
“Hey!
“What?
“Put it away here.”
“Oh, I do?”
“…….”
“I have to clean up! I’ll clean it up. Haha!”
The gatekeepers were clearing up around them before long, but before Callius could get to them, In-Young approached, why was he covered all over with a robe?
“The smell of iron.
And the smell of grass and flowers.
Perhaps it was the smell of flesh and blood that made it more distinct.
Jenos of House Gladus could be sure, but Callius was not Gladus, but Jervain.
You can never be sure.
Since they were the ones who had approached me, I decided to observe the situation first.
“May I sit down?”
“As you wish.”
Boom!
The short man sitting with a “dong” sound, and the one standing next to him sitting lightly in comparison.
Callius’ suspicions were hardening into certainty.
“‘My lord! Beer! Do you do that too?”
“I prefer wine.”
“I am a shipper.”
“Wine and flower wine here! And something to drink in moderation!”
Beer, wine, and flower wine went on the table.
Soon the food arrived, and the man with the coarse voice and large, skinny hands sipped and drank the food and beer.
He fiddled with the thin zarada and stew, and drank the entire bottle of flower wine.
Callius took the chalice of the defeated god from his pocket, poured out the wine and drank.
After filling their bellies to the brim, they set down their dishes and opened their mouths.
“Thank you. Thanks to you, we had a good meal. Let’s show our gratitude! My name is Arud. This one’s Serena.”
“I’m Serena.”
“I’m Karis from …….”
This meal.
Did I buy you that?”
Callius thought and was quite unhappy.
“‘I wondered if there was such a thing as a story, but I had to hear it first.
Staying silent, Aldura said as the man looked at Callius with interest.
“You’re not from the Principality, are you?”
It was an abrupt and sharp question.
He was momentarily startled, but did not show it.
“I was surprised, but I didn’t show it. I’m surprised that the Pilgrim of the Principality is not a member of the Principality. Do I repay the favor I gave you with disrespect?”
Although secretly deadly, Ardu pulled up his bearded mouth.
“‘There is no need to act so. I’ve dealt with plenty of them in my duchy. Your retreat did not contain the cruelty typical of the Principality. Karis, if you were really a Principality pilgrim, you wouldn’t have exploded with the rage of those who came at you. Their whole bodies would have been torn apart by the mallet.”
Serena also drank in the Lord of Coin, nodding, “Yes.
“Because that’s essentially what the Principality is like.”
“…….”
There was no argument in that part.
It was a fact he’d missed.
It was a fact that he had never been involved in a retreat before, and had never experienced one properly.
When Callius remained silent, Ardu touched his beard, which had popped out of his hood, as if he were certain of it.
“‘Then why do you carry around a retreat, pretending to be from a principality when you are not? Because he is an Imperial? It can’t be. This is the Empire, so why? If you think about it simply, the answer is that we are neither an empire nor a principality.”
“Hmmm. Then what do you think it is?”
“‘Your abilities are pretty much beyond a certain range. Strength, speed, both are perfect, and rather prestigious.”
It was a satisfying answer.
“I especially like the words ‘prestigious’ and ‘dignified.’
He didn’t say dignity, but Callius thought so.
“The hand that held the knife and the skill with which it cut the meat was unusual. You must be a pilgrim with a sword.
That was a pretty good guess.
Callius was inwardly surprised.
He hadn’t expected such insight.
He had deduced a small clue and come up with the right answer.
Interesting, isn’t it?
But I didn’t want to answer honestly.
It wasn’t perfect either.
“Well… I don’t know about that. Whether I serve the axe, the scythe, or the ram…”
“‘Hmph, if anything that would be even better. Either way, as long as it’s not ‘contraption and retreat’, we’re all for it.”
“Oh dear.”
You’ve been hit.
Ardu laughed out loud, and Serena whispered to him to order another shipper.
He had been exposed, but he didn’t feel bad about it. 
“Why don’t you come work with us?”
“Work?”
🅼🅰🅺🅴 🆂🆄🆁🅴 🆈🅾🆄 🆁🅴🅰🅳🅸🅽🅶 🅰🆃 korea nmtl . onl ine
“As you can see, we are pilgrims, and you are probably pilgrims too. But seeing as we’re going this way, we’re going to the Holy Land, right?”
“Yes.”
“‘If we could accompany someone of your caliber, we would have been blessed by God. — “How about we do it together? We’re in the same position anyway, and I’m sure you’ve at least figured out who we are by now.”
So be it.
Ardu is a hammer. Serena is a bow.
It was an unusual combination, but the two of them were different races that shot hammers and bows.
They were a dwarf and an elf.
If it wasn’t for the spears and retreats enshrined by the empire and duchy that currently held the greatest influence on the continent, the pilgrims wouldn’t have felt much hostility towards each other.
Even now, different pilgrims often accompany each other for a while on their pilgrimage somewhere in the continent.
But.
Is it necessary for me to do so?”
What was the reason for leaving all of Calpe’s articles from the beginning?
Callius went on a pilgrimage alone to do his own beliefs and justice.
A bit grandiose, but to put it lightly, it would be easier for him to roam around the continent alone.
As long as there’s no need for anything else, the rampaging trat is gone and it’s easy to run on your own at your leisure.
“If you are suggesting that I accompany you on the road to the Holy Land, I decline.”
“Hmmm ……, any reason?”
“Because I have more to lose than to gain.”
Of course, that was a superficial reason.
Callius, in fact, knows them.
He felt the need to bring out the truth that they were trying to bring him in on.
“‘If I remember correctly, these are the ones who will later be called the heroes of the continent.’
Of course, six years would be more than enough time for that to happen.
Honestly, in Callius’ position, there was nothing wrong with befriending them.
They were only a pilgrim now, he said, because their potential was so high.
So, I am curious.
Why would they, the most powerful of the pilgrims, recommend him to accompany them?
–Why do they need my help?
With so many routes already changed, it’s safest to cross the stone bridge.
“Yeah. ……”
Ardu looked at Serena and spat; she silently swallowed her coins.
He was troubled, as if he hadn’t known that Callius would refuse him outright.
When he was about to drive a wedge between them. Ardu opened his mouth.
“Actually, we have more company.”
“Who are they?”
“That’s why I want you to come with us. He’s in a lot of trouble, you know.”
Callius’s face went funny at Ardu’s words.
* * * *
Deep and dark forest
There were people gazing pitifully at the sky by moonlight.
Their bodies were covered with scales, and their heads were angular.
Their eyes were those of reptiles, and in each hand a spear was raised.
“We are the descendants of the Dragon,” he said.
“But we are to be taken.”
“‘Our congregation, our chanting. And the lands we have built!”
Khun! Khun! Khun!
The spearman struck the ground in sync.
“How long must we live by the light of the moon?”
“How long must our windows face the distant sky and earth!”
“How long shall we…!”
why?
“Can we not do it with dignity!”
Khun! Khun! Kung!
“We have the right to take back what was taken from us!”
“We can’t talk about the fact that the descendants of Dragon have to live on the lowly soil.”
“Just spear it through.”
“The decision will be made in a week!”
“Brothers, let’s get back what was taken from us!”
Khun! Khun! Khun!
“Let us take back our lives!”
Khun! Khun! K’ung!
“Let’s show the power of Dragon Born to the Empire of the Damned!”
Khun! Khun! K’ung!
In the middle of the tribe of Dragon Born who were desperately prepared. For there was one in the clan who looked at them with pitiful eyes.
He was a colleague of Ardu and Serena, and also the pilgrim of Lactus, who had been appointed as the new tribal leader of the Dragon Tribe.
The Dragon Tribe has the stigma of being fugitives, even though they inherited the most power from the Dragon Tribe.
“‘The old people are clamoring to die. I want to live, but… how can I escape?’
His name is Pyromatur.
He was also known as Tail-Cutting Pillow.
