Overpowered Sword Chapter 131

Level up with swords (131)

.

The hinges of the door folded, letting out a low groan.

It may have been because it was well oiled, but if you didn’t listen carefully, you couldn’t hear it, but most of the people in the lobby were attracted by the sound and turned to look at Leon and his group.

The interior was quite quiet.

Mercenaries chowing down on bread for breakfast, adventurers talking over requests, and employees letting out long yawns at the counter.

The guild in Area 1 had a relaxed atmosphere in many ways.

One of the mercenaries who recognized him raised his voice.

“Oh, it’s !”

It was a title that was a mixture of reverence and disregard for the B-rank who became the number one contributor to the Great Mine Expedition. It’s similar to what they used to call ‘cat’ or ‘sweeper’ in Blaine.

Some people were happy to see the appearance of a young and capable adventurer.

Some people were jealous, saying that I was lucky to get B rank.

No one on either side had the audacity to start an argument in his presence.

“Is this a new request as soon as the expedition ends? Well, if your skills are as good as yours, staying at B rank would be a waste of time.”

“If you find something good, be sure to call us too!”

The two familiar mercenaries waved their hands without hesitation.

“You’re wearing a habit, so you’re planning on having a priest as your companion? “It’s a pretty good choice in terms of power, but there will be a lot of nagging issues.”

“If it’s from that young lady, nagging her won’t be a bad idea.”

“Is that what you want me to hear now, Hank?”

“That can’t be possible. “I never once thought of what Rebecca said as nagging.”

The two adventurers were trying to give him some advice, but they got into the usual fight between husband and wife.

To be exact, it wasn’t a fight.

Because the man called Hank was robbed unilaterally.

Ellahan laughed quietly as he looked at that.

“The guild is a lively place. “The level is higher than I thought.”

“Oh, that’s a little different.”

Karen waved her hand as if to deny that assessment.

“It is difficult to gain access to Area 1, and all requests from blacksmiths are also highly difficult. In order to function properly in this guild, you have to be at least a B rank, right? Even then, most of the leadership roles will be done by A-ranks.”

“People’s standards are bound to be high.”

“That’s right. “I heard that each guild branch has its own level, and the number of personnel dispatched is adjusted based on importance and risk.”

Karen shrugged her shoulders and said that was confidential.

Although he learned and mastered a lot at the religious headquarters, Ellahan lacks much experiential knowledge. So, in their story, there was a clear divide between the listener and the speaker.

Karen explains and Ellahan listens.

Leon also had a lot of stories that I had never heard of before, so he occasionally interjected with a question.

How many minutes passed like that?

“Did I make you wait like this?”

Ryan, the guild master of Area 13, appeared from inside the window with an awkward expression on his face.

Most likely, that shy attitude was due to the bare face shown at the banquet hall. It had been a week since I had met him in a solemn mood, but I drank too much because of the relief that the expedition had succeeded and that a catastrophe had been prevented.

Even though he was a master, he must have seemed like nothing more than a drunkard.

“No, we just arrived too.”

Leon also answered, trying hard to shake that obscene act from his memory.

“Hmm! Is that so? “Thank goodness.”

After seeing the unspoken agreement, Ryan turned around. He nodded once at Leon and started walking through the window as if telling Leon to follow him.

The three were ushered into the guild VIP room.

As Leon and his group sat down on the sofa across from them, Ryan handed them three cups of jasmine tea that he personally brewed.

“It’s a tea that drives away drowsiness. “Let’s have a drink each.”

“thank you.”

While they were sipping their tea, Ryan busied himself and pulled out a metal box from under his desk.

It was a small box.

Is it a little bigger than the palm of your hand?

There was no need to say more about what was inside.

click.

When I put the key in and unlocked the lock, a golden shiny plaque appeared inside the box.

The letter ‘LEON’ engraved on the smooth surface is particularly clear. This gold plaque is the symbol and proof of A rank. Unlike B rank, it was like proof that he was treated as an important person in the guild, where he could receive special treatment anywhere on the continent.

Ryan, holding the gold plate, placed it in front of Leon.

“From this moment on, Leon, you are an A-rank adventurer.”

Leon didn’t respond but stretched out his right hand.

Cool and smooth texture.

I traced my name engraved on the surface of the gold plaque with my thumb and then pulled out the silver plaque from my pocket. Since it was an item that would no longer be used in the future, I was thinking of discarding it at this point.

“ah!”

Just as Leon, who had pulled up the Auror, was about to grab his hand, Karen’s voice stopped him.

Leon reflexively relaxed and looked back at her.

“Karen? why?”

“It’s not a big deal, but it’s a bit of a waste.”

“Are you saying it’s a waste?”

“In a way, it’s a souvenir, right? He was once a B-rank adventurer. “Why don’t you give it to me instead of breaking it?”

For some reason, Ellahan bit his lip with an expression of regret. The reaction seemed to be one step too late.

“I guess it’ll be okay.”

When Leon handed her the silver plaque without much thought, Karen carefully placed it in her arms as if it were a fragile object.

Ryan waited for a moment and spoke to Leon.

“Congratulations. It’s rare to get an A rank at your age. “At least I’ve never seen one in my branch.”

“Is it that much?”

“If you were ranked B or higher from the beginning due to special reasons, it would be difficult to rise from the bottom to A rank. Of course, being the youngest record went beyond common sense.”

Karen responded to his words and leaned forward.

“How amazing is the youngest record?”

“When I was 16, I defeated a mutant ogre by myself.”

Two pairs of eyes widened at Ryan’s answer.

You caught not just an ogre, but a mutant by yourself at the age of 16? If you did something like that at an age when your body wasn’t fully grown, it was madness that went beyond the realm of talent and effort.

Only Ellahan was listening calmly.

“What is that monster? “Are you still alive?”

“He’s lively. Wherever you go, be careful what you say. “He is the most dangerous among the S-ranks currently on active duty.”

“I feel like I know who it is…?”

Ryan smiled wryly at those words and changed the topic.

Apparently, someone in S rank who held the record as the youngest person had a bad personality.

He turned his eyes to Ellahan, who was sitting next to the two.

“Seeing as he is wearing a monastic habit, is he a priest of the religious order? “You are a unique person in many ways.”

“nice to see you.”

Saint Ellahan, who had dyed her hair brown since leaving the temple, smiled.

It was time to put on the disguise I had requested from Irexana.

“My name is Ella, the 52nd Rank of the Holy Iron Chain Knights.”

“…what?”

Ryan was left speechless by the shocking self-introduction.

“Seongcheolseokknight? “It’s not a joke, is it?”

“I also brought supporting documents. “I would like to ask you to register me as an adventurer as quickly and secretly as possible.”

“Let’s take a look.”

Ryan, whose complexion turned serious, carefully looked through each and every document handed over to Elahan.

Even after I finish reading it, I read it again from the beginning.

That’s because it was such a difficult story to believe.

After reviewing it three times, he was convinced that there were no problems with the supporting documents, and Ryan looked at the three people with a face that seemed to have aged about 10 years.

“You guys only bring complicated things to me.”

“Is it possible?”

“Of course. Let me give it to you right now. “No matter how I repay the debt I owe to the Holy Order, it will only be insufficient and not excessive.”

Ryan said just that.

“It takes some procedures to register as A rank. “I think it will take at least three or four days, is that okay?”

“It’s okay if you’re not necessarily A-rank. “If you are a Seongcheolsaegi Knight, you will not be looked down upon as a B-rank.”

“That too.”

Ryan took out an empty silver plate from his desk drawer, then took out a dagger and carved the letters ‘ELLA’ into it.

Coincidentally, the ‘special reason’ I talked about a few minutes ago came true right before my eyes. Ryan must have felt something similar as well, smiling like them as he handed over the silver plaque.

“Thank you for caring me.”

“I will tell you. “If the Seongcheolsaegi Knight were to join us, it would literally be worth a thousand armies.”

Even the guild master was surprised by the fact that only the Seongcheolsae Knight had joined. If Ellahan’s identity were to be revealed later, Ryan might make what happened today the bane of his life.

A warrior and a saint.

Sitting across from two legends and serving them hand-poured tea, there was a possibility that this room would become a tourist attraction.

‘I hope that doesn’t happen.’

Leon let out a long sigh, feeling somewhat embarrassed. It was embarrassing to even think about being deprived of everything from my daily life.

Then El Cid jumped out and opened his mouth.

[If you go around messing around like me, they’ll all get censored, right?]

‘Are you proud of being censored?’

[My accomplishments are so great that people don’t believe them, so it’s right to tell them about them, even if it’s in a shortened version. Isn’t that right?]

‘…Tell me honestly. Did you have adamantium plating on your face? ‘There’s no way a person could be this shameless.’

While the ancestral warrior and the modern warrior were engaged in an ugly argument, the other three were talking in a friendly atmosphere.

It’s a rumor going around in Youth these days.

Who will be this year’s youth steel?

Mining work will resume in a few days.

Ryan, who brought up a few topics, soon got to the point.

“You have now increased to three people and have been promoted to A rank. “Are you planning on settling down somewhere?”

“doesn’t exist.”

Leon immediately declared.

“I’m still planning on wandering the world, so I’ve never considered settling down.”

“is it.”

Ryan nodded, unimpressed.

“What’s wrong with young people? Adventure over stability, travel over vacation. “It’s a difficult life for old people like me to follow.”

“You seem a bit harsh to say you’re old.”

“It’s almost like kicking out thieves who come into the house.”

Ryan said, ignoring their public affairs with one ear.

“I think you’re thinking of leaving Jugend, is that correct?”

“yes.”

“Have you thought about where you want to go after leaving here?”

When Leon didn’t answer, Ryan grinned.

“Let me take one last look at your convenience. “Just ask me one more question.”

Leon, who had been pondering the favor for a moment, opened his mouth.

“Can you tell me which areas have been the most noisy recently?”

“…That’s a very unusual request.”

Ryan stood up from his seat with an expression that showed he wanted to see the amazing guy.

A 〈Rookie〉 and Seongcheolseo Knight who became A-rank at a young age.

The opportunity to show them grace was rare.

Although Area 1 and Area 13 are under different jurisdictions, guild master authority applies to all branches. After reviewing recent events in the records room, he returned to the room after about 10 minutes.

Ryan handed three documents to Leon and the others.

“I brought it as you requested. “One is close, one is a little far, and one is very far.”

It was indeed as he said.

Leon and Karen Ellahan looked at the three requests in turn with their faces side by side.

〈Imperial Security Forces〉.

〈Dispute Mediation in the Western Desert〉.

〈Piracy Suppression in the Eastern Strait〉.

The closest place to Jugend was the Clyde Empire, and the farthest place to go was the Great Desert in the West. Lastly, the Eastern Strait required crossing more than half of the continent.

“Personally, I would not recommend the Clyde Empire.”

Ryan said.

“Ever since Emperor Guang came to the throne, it has been difficult to open my eyes and look at the empire’s corruption. “Local nobles have become warlords, training private armies, and are busy fighting with rebels or rioters at any time and place.”

“Is it that serious?”

“Hmm.”

Ryan seriously affirmed Leon’s words and continued his explanation.

“The Great Desert is a bit chronic. “The conflict between the nomads and the native beastmen has been going on for generations, and whenever the fight intensifies, we would request mediation at the guild level.”

“What about the Eastern Channel?”

“Well, it’s similar there. However, pirates with swollen livers sank the boat with one of the royal family members on it, causing a huge commotion.”

“this.”

The royal family was killed by pirates and the like.

To wash away that shame, it would take the corpses of thousands or even tens of thousands of pirates. If the kingdom sent a large-scale summons to the guild, it was clear that an armed conflict on the scale of war would break out.

Leon thought about it for a moment.

Distance to the request location, severity and scale of the incident, and the presence of groups and people who can cooperate.

‘The Clyde Empire…’

Without realizing it, I thought of Lian.

A prince who was purged after losing his throne to Emperor Gwang and went into hiding at the academy where he was staying, taking only one vassal with him.

I felt a bit sorry but not sorry because I ended up winning in the end, and complicated emotions welled up. The three years of jealousy and feelings of inferiority had almost disappeared with that victory, but their relationship was not so close that only good feelings remained.

‘Neither Rian nor Chloe will be at the Academy by now. I’m not sure if they’re doing well.’

For Leon, who had very limited interpersonal relationships, those two were the only people he could call ‘acquaintances’ from his time at the Academy.

It was a vague yet bitter memory.

Leon savored it for a moment and then looked away.

It is not a choice based on personal feelings.

Even if Lian and Chloe were leading the rebel army against the Emperor Gwang, the mark on the imperial capital was not something he could handle.

“…Let’s do this.”

After coming to a conclusion, Leon picked up a request form.

〈Dispute Mediation in the Western Desert〉.

It was the moment when the next destination of the warrior party was decided.
