Sword Pilgrim chapter 127

“I see.”
Tailspin Pillow.
There were such people.”
Originally, there were many clans that served Chang.
However, the only ones who survived are the current empire and the Dragon Born tribe. 
It is true that they are the descendants of Dragon, but their blood is thin and they are called Lizardmen.
They will perish at the hands of the Empire, which is developing a plan to eliminate this race.
The empire even used their power, claiming that they were originally servants of the same spear, but in the end, they were shaken off and killed.
This was because a monstrosity doctrine was born that did not consider different races as human.
And the divergence between human and Dragon Born was inherently problematic.
“”Come to think of it, that’s the current time period.
The Dragon Born tribe is about to be annihilated.
Since they had exerted a lot of power and damage on Carpe, they had to defeat those who had been troublesome before in order to solidify their inner reality.
It’s not that special.
It’s not that special. “He’s a useless guy, but he’s good with one spear. It’s a pretty good thing to just leave him to die. Besides, we did it together.”
That’s what Ardu said.
I need your help so that I can keep him alive.
That’s what he needed me to do.
“But…
“Why should I do so?”
I am not the reason to help it . Tailspin Pillow
Of course, if he made the most of it, there was room for him to grow into a superior person.
Aside from his spirituality, his abilities are not unknown to me.
“But….
He’s a go-getter.”
After all, he is a servant of Lactus.
Of course, that’s only a superficial reason; I don’t really know.
He is essentially a dead character.
The potential power of Philomatur when he was alive?
I’m not sure.
I don’t know, so I can’t be sure.
Of course I could befriend them if I wanted to help them, but I didn’t dare to do so at my own risk.
Perhaps the Dragon Born tribe is dealing with the Empire.
It would most likely be the empire and the prince or princess, and there was a high probability that it would be the princess.
“”There’s nothing good about tangling with an imperial princess.
The reason is that even in the empire, it is not desirable to be in the eyes of an imperial princess who has a rougher spirituality than necessary.
The day I even show her my dark hair and brilliant eyes, she will immediately see through me.
I don’t want to go down that unnecessary road.
“Of course, I’m not asking for your help without any conditions.”
Ardu looked at Serena, nodded, then pulled out something and placed it on the table.
A small box.
What the hell, stick your chin out.
I look around.
No one was already drinking in the tavern, probably because they were afraid of me.
The only customer was me.
Noticing this now, Serena secretly opened the box.
“…… What’s this?”
“It’s a Yao Shi.”
I paused for a moment, about to grab my wine glass.
Yao Shi.
I didn’t expect to get this.
You surprise me in so many ways.
There are fairies in this world.
Ryotei’s abilities are colorful.
They are beings that are bound by contract and live by contract.
They are a race of beings that have assimilated with nature, but have the unique ability to live for their contractors and become progressively stronger each time they resolve a single promise.
“There’s one in ‘Jervain.'”
It’s easy to understand if you think of Jervain’s butler, Nochtel.
They live several times longer than humans.
And their sorcery power over the forces of nature is something that is rarely seen.
So when I was in the north.
While provoking Nochtel, I did not cross the line.
Contracts with fairies are a product of chance.
It is not easy to meet them, and even less easy to make a contract with them.
But there is one thing.
The very thing that makes it possible.
“Yao Shi.
The Yao Stone.
Even in the Elven Forest, which is relatively familiar with fairies, one thing that is not often seen is the Yao Shi.
If Helena had seen this stone, she would have wanted it even if she had to give up a few of her top tiers.
That’s because fairies are so powerful, bound by contracts and self-appointed to labor.
“It’s not as if you don’t know the value of the Yao Stone.”
“Of course . I don’t know.”
But only this much was enough to produce a Yao Shi, or rather, an award.
Too big.
If you were to put the value of Philo and the value of Yao Shi, it would be one hundred and two sides of one hundred. If it was a thousand, it would be a thousand. If it was ten thousand, ten thousand would raise their hands to the latter.
I asked, honestly.
“It would be rather doubtful. Is Philo the one who can launch a keystone worthy of being exchanged for the Empire’s territory?”
Then Serena’s voice became a little frosty.
“Do you look at people only by their worth?”
A hint of contempt seeped into her voice.
You’re an elf and you question humanity?
I was a little taken aback.
“‘Have you always had this kind of personality?’
🅼🅰🅺🅴 🆂🆄🆁🅴 🆈🅾🆄 🆁🅴🅰🅳🅸🅽🅶 🅰🆃 korea nmtl . onl ine
Elves are strong in this world.
Their lifespan and physical abilities superior to humans. 
Through the distance advantage that the bow brings, they are a race that has built their own personal domain.
Most of the elves are overbearing.
They had a spiritualy exclusive nature that was easy to understand if you saw them as someone who was in a state of racial superiority.
“”I can’t believe such an elf would say something like that.”
I was a little taken aback, but I suppose that’s why they call them heroes.
To be frank, I don’t know them very well.
I don’t know them well, frankly, because they are not my own creation.
That said, I was a little curious.
Serena and Ardu are not finished.
Still pilgrim.
Even if they become heroes later on, they are still only pilgrims now.
Do.
The conclusion of my thoughts shifted to that.
If I kill them now, what kind of sword will be born?
“What kind of sword will be born?”
I’m very curious.
“!”
I held it for a while, a natural desire for a pilgrim, but the reaction came quickly.
“What the…!”
“You’re too much of a killjoy.”
The killing spirit rose up without her knowledge.
Selina got up and heard the low voice of Ardu, who was full of fondness.
“…….”
Serena’s hand couldn’t see much because it was in a lob . But the bow was clear in the shape that appeared, and Ardu looked at Callius with downcast eyes. 
They could have pounced on each other at any moment. 
Silence followed, and eventually Callius took a step back first.
“It was rude. But if the price is Yao Shi, then I have to question it. I hope you can understand my position.”
Here, he stepped back.
If anything, this kind of appearance should be able to elicit their trust.
“‘It’s invaluable to us, you know. I want you to know that for Serena, Yao Shi is not such a big price to pay. And it also means that it’s that much more dangerous to help your colleague.”
Ardu explained carefully in a slightly calmer voice.
The sharp-eyed Serena in the hood hadn’t changed much…
“There was talk of the Imperial Princess and the Duchess of the Principality taking down the Dragon Born tribe.”
“An Imperial Princess and a Duchess.
Two people I didn’t want to see at once, of all people, and I was already sick of it.
But.
I quickly grabbed the box of keystones.
“Oh.”
There’s something frankly nefarious about this. But if the atonement is the Rao Stone, then no problem.
“Serena, show me how to use the Yoseok.”
“The way to use a yoseki is to burn the stone in a forest where fairies might be hiding.”
That way, curious fairies will be led by the yoseki’s energy.
The story goes that they will be drunk on supernatural energy and become less cautious, so they will target that moment to make a deal.
“There’s nothing else to say.
It’s not much different from the information I know.
But there is one story that I have forgotten.
“‘Just because you have a demon stone doesn’t mean you can meet a fairy, and the same goes for contracts. 
It is only a medium to summon fairies.
Contracts are another story.
Because the whims of fairies are like reeds.
It has to be accompanied by luck.
But.
“It’s a different story if I’m the one holding this, regardless of whether it’s someone else.
A keystone that is enraptured like the color of a jade.
It’s about the size of a pebble.
I thought.
“Just the right size to swallow.”
And.
* * * *
Ardu and Serena.
Back in their quarters, they took off their hoods as soon as the door was closed and showed their faces .
Their light-colored blond hair was tied up in a bun at the head of a horse, and their ears were longer than human ones.
Her eyes, which looked like they were carved out of gold, were strangely beautiful.
But Ardu’s eyes were cold as he looked at the elf.
“Ardu. Can you really believe it?”
Serena said to Ardu as soon as she took off her hood.
She must be talking about Callius.
Ardu laughed and stroked his beard at her sharp appearance.
“I’ve been through a lot. You’ve been through a lot. The more you have, the better your skills will be.
A glimpse of greed and survival.
It was real.
It was proof that his abilities were better than expected.
“Not so much in my view.”
But Serena denied it.
She didn’t seem to like the idea.
“What’s the problem?”
“The question is, is it really right to tell someone who can’t believe it from Yao Shi?”
Yao Shi
A treasure that not even the elves could easily possess.
A mineral that must be accompanied by luck in a rare region where supernatural energy meshes.
The question was, “Is it true what I told the first person I saw today?”
It’s something you can take and run with.
🅼🅰🅺🅴 🆂🆄🆁🅴 🆈🅾🆄 🆁🅴🅰🅳🅸🅽🅶 🅰🆃 korea nmtl . onl ine
“We are the ones who need to show trust. Let’s not get caught up in our own affairs.”
“But the keystone… ….”
“‘It’s not that valuable to you, you know. If you can save your friends’ lives with it, wasn’t it valuable to use it?”
The keystone is valuable.
But it was a fact that did not apply to Serena.
Because she had two more in addition to the gem she had given to Callius.
However, that didn’t change the fact that the gemstone was valuable.
In fact, it would be better to sell it and save a talented foreign player.
Even the mercenary king would want Yao Yao’s stone to help them.
“But we don’t have time for that.
There is no time to spare .
“”…… That’s right. But I still don’t trust him.”
“‘Only time will tell. But the way I see it, he’s a pretty good guy.”
“What makes you think that?”
“You saw what Karis did to Munjigi, didn’t you?”
“Yeah. ……”
Everyone could see how the gatekeeper dropped off the two Silvers at the tavern.
I don’t mind killing him.
“I don’t care if you kill him. I don’t mind killing him. A gatekeeper who cheated on pilgrim. You could have slit his wrists, cut out his tongue, and he wouldn’t have said a word. But what did you do?”
“I made him clean it up.”
I finally got him to clean up.
Say the words.
“It means he’s not so evil.”
A word to say that Serena’s worries should be put away for a while, because he wasn’t a bad guy at heart.
Besides.
“While I was gathering information, there was one person who was recently issued a purchase order.”
“A purchase order? In the Empire?”
“‘Yes, it was. A courtesan or something arranged it, but they say he’s a colorist who teases women. They say he teased hundreds of them.”
“He’s shameless.”
“That sounds like it’s probably Charis.”
“What?
Then why in the world would I accompany such a ruffian?
Apparently, he had a funny look in his eyes.
Was that what she thought of herself?
Selina hugged herself tightly.
Goosebumps broke out all over her body.
“Ardu! You want me to play tricks on you now? You think he’s not going to fall for me and betray me? Is that what you want right now?”
Serena misunderstood, but she raised her voice.
Ardu frowned as if he were dressed like a bore.
“‘You’re so wrong. How does your mind work to think that?”
“You said colors! “The elf known as ‘beauty incarnate’ is exactly what I am. How could a color demon leave me alone?”
“This is outrageous. The fact that the pilgrim, who is neither an empire nor a principality, has teased hundreds of women in a week is outrageous. And that’s not where the focus should be.”
“Then…?”
You just said “colored linen”.
What am I supposed to focus on then?
Serena didn’t understand.
“I heard that a warrant was issued and soldiers surrounded him, but he killed them without wetting a finger. By the way, do you know what an interesting fact is?”
“What?”
I heard you use beasts.”
“Beasts?”
Sprinkled with beasts? Isn’t that a story we can’t ignore?
“Yes, it is. It means they may be servants of the whip.”
God of the whip, Auste!
“I heard you’ve already been annihilated?”
“Because gods don’t disappear easily.”
Hagiji
I’m still not quite sure what kind of god Callius serves.
I had taken it to be essentially a sword, but maybe not.
“‘For a moment, the way he looks at you when you live, there’s a good chance it’s a sword, but…’ ….’
Ardu shook his head, thinking of the stories of the pilgrims of Valtherus.
Because the only crazy people who kill each other are the sword pilgrims.
“In any case, they are not from the Empire or the Principality. Rather, we are being hunted by them.”
“But isn’t that Shikama?”
“‘No…don’t worry about that. I glanced at him and he wasn’t even interested in you.”
“What the hell!”
It was then.
Serena’s ears suddenly perked up and twitched.
“Enemy?”
“No, he’s left the inn.”
“Serena’s ears suddenly perked up. What the hell, I’m following him.”
“You might think so, but it’s not me. I can run away, so I’ll go after him. Sleep well, little one.”
“Hmm, I guess I will.”
I had to decide for myself whether I could trust him or not.
It’s hard to trust just because there was a good reason for Ardu’s words.
It’s hard to trust just because of that.
Serena’s gestures were fluid and not a sound was heard as she jumped straight up from the window.
With her hood up and her ears close, she ran, and soon the figure of a man appeared.
A white robe.
It was Charis.
Gently.
Selina followed him cautiously as he made his way out of the village and into the forest.
A short time later.
“……!”
Serena’s golden eyes rolled back into her mouth and opened.
