Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius

Chapter 73



Episode 73:

Moving on Nata.

Taurine appeared like a storm and invited me and the group to their hideout.

He said he liked me and even made me ride on his back.

He even added that he could be moved because I was the first person to ride on his back.

My companions quietly followed what I said without any complaints.

If even one member of the group had a different opinion on what I said, we would have been in quite a bit of trouble.

‘But it’s surprising that even Beatrice willingly accepted.’

I thought she would at least show a reluctant reaction.

When I accepted, he nodded without much opposition.

Rather, I was looking at the various details with interest in the Nata, which I was riding for the first time.

He must be a truly unique person.

“Arrived. get off.”

I don’t think it took that long, but we arrived at the looters’ hideout.

When I got off the train at her words, the first thing I saw was a spring in the middle of the tents, dazzlingly reflecting the sunlight.

I know that spring.

An inexhaustible spring, the only oasis in the northern desert.

The spring over there was connected to the groundwater of the mountain range, and the groundwater was plentiful enough to last for hundreds of years.

“Now this is our house.”

The companions were slightly embarrassed to see her being so friendly that they could not imagine the hostility she had shown just a moment ago.

I was the only one who didn’t react much to that sight.

‘As expected.’

She was also mentioned a little in the original work.

He was also a person who had fought with the protagonist, and the looters living in his hideout were killed by the protagonist.

There is no place where the main character doesn’t cause real damage.

“You guys guide them to a place where they can rest. “You are my guest.”

“yes!”

The marauders didn’t pay any attention to Taurean’s words.

She acted on her words as if they were law.

“You follow me.”

Taurine looked at me and smiled, showing his teeth.

If we were to judge Taurine’s appearance, she was considered a beauty.

A healthy beauty whose skin is tanned by the sun.

It was said that her red hair and red eyes blended exquisitely with her dark skin, making her beautiful.

However, if you go below that, things change.

Her strong body, covered only with animal skin, had all kinds of wounds.

And all of the wounds were serious enough to be considered fatal.

Imagine a beautiful, muscular woman with scars all over her face smiling at me, baring her teeth.

Even his eyes were very sharp as to what he was thinking.

Of course it wouldn’t be scary.

‘It was a godsend that I knew about her in advance and dealt with it.’

Knowing her personality helped a lot.

She hates servile people.

I despise those who abandon their comrades.

On the contrary, he liked people who sacrificed themselves for their colleagues and did not bow down even in front of the powerful.

If I didn’t know that and tried to run away from her.

Rather than invite me home, she would have cut off my head and taken it back as a trophy.

She was that kind of person.

“Go in.”

She dragged me into a tent near Sam.

Injured people were lying there.

And some, if not most, of them were faces I knew.

“uh…!”

“You…!”

The marauders who were lying down were surprised to find me.

And I was surprised twice by the taurine that came with me.

Taurine looked back and forth between me and the marauders and said.

“Everyone knows this face, right?”

Why did you bring me here?

The patients lying there were the marauders who had injured me.

Those who got caught up in the auror storm I created.

Taurine took me to those who were bent on revenge.

What is the intention of this?

Could this be to get revenge on me by attacking me in front of them?

I knew she wasn’t the type of person to do that, but I couldn’t stop my hand from reaching for the sword.

“Aren’t your eyes tired?”

But Taurine was glaring at the marauders, not me.

I raised my hand and pretended to poke their eyes with my index and middle fingers.

“….”

Then they closed their mouths and lowered their eyes.

And then he looked at me and Taurine carefully.

Even from their perspective, the current situation is completely incomprehensible.

“By becoming a warrior. If you lose, you have to admit that you lost. Do you still have that in mind?”

Warrior.

A person who protects the weak from the strong.

Unlike knights who have something to protect, these people live for their beliefs.

Taurine referred to the marauders as warriors, although the word did not fit them at all.

“sorry.”

Marauders and warriors.

Is there any word that doesn’t fit as well as that?

But I couldn’t reveal it.

“You should always be grateful to the person who saved you.”

Taurean said that and looked back at the marauders.

The looters could not say anything and kept their mouths shut.

“You idiots.”

Taurean glared at them and shook his head as if he didn’t like them.

“Let’s go out.”

Then he took me with him and left the tent.

Taurine headed to where the spring was in silence for a while.

Then he looked back at me and said.

“thanks.”

I couldn’t say anything else to her sudden words.

Although I know her personality and act accordingly, I still cannot understand her thoughts.

I am the enemy who attacked them.

But you can call me your benefactor just because you saved my life.

Their way of thinking is difficult to understand.

“But why did you let me live?”

“I didn’t feel the need to kill.”

“What a funny guy.”

Taurine bursts into laughter.

He also personally took me to where I would sleep today.

And he leaves, saying that he will not forget this grace.

I stood there until she was out of sight. As soon as I could no longer see her, my body relaxed.

‘Sword Master is not human.’

I tried to stay calm next to her, but every moment was an ordeal.

Her energy that was implicitly flowing out was of a type that was difficult to withstand without using Aura.

Maybe it was because I always dealt with the weak, but it felt a bit different.

There are many strong people like this in the world.

And I was worried.

Even these strong people were no match for the protagonist.

“You came.”

When I went inside, I was greeted by Ellis who was making the bed.

She was looking at me with a worried face.

Sweet.

He took off his mask and sat down on the floor.

There were no separate beds in the tent.

They tie leaves together, spread them on the ground, and put animal skins on top of them to sleep.

“What about the kids?”

“Mahor and Miss Rayna are resting in the tent, and Beth has gone to visit the wizards.”

Ellis didn’t know that Beth was Beatrice.

“I guess it’s because of magic.”

I knew why she went to see the wizards.

“yes. It is said that their magic patterns are different from those of the kingdom.”

I guess so.

The wizards living here have improved their magic to suit the desert.

It made sense that her eyes would roll back to the magic pattern she was seeing for the first time.

“Get some rest today. “That won’t be possible starting tomorrow.”

Although it was in the middle of enemy territory, ironically, there was no safer place than here.

At least here, there was no need to worry about monster attacks.

What is there to worry about when the Sword Master is guarding it?

And above all, she was a woman with conviction who kept her words.

So you don’t have to worry too much.

“yes. Would you like to go to sleep right away?”

“That’s right. “Even if this place is safe, it’s not a place to stay for long.”

safe.

So much so that it can be said to be the safest in the North.

But that doesn’t mean you can stay here for a few days.

This is a village of marauders.

And we are strangers.

‘The marauders are not very welcoming to strangers.’

It was like that when I first came here.

In this place that seemed like an ordinary village, everyone carried their own blades.

And they showed hostility when we came in here.

Marauders do not like strangers.

No, I absolutely hate it.

Each and every one of them was a criminal or fugitive driven out of the continent.

So there was no way they would welcome those who came from the center.

On the contrary, I was anxious because I couldn’t kill it.

Some of them committed the worst crimes and remained wanted criminals for decades.

So, there will be many people who are worried that we will go out and make their presence known.

Still, there was one reason they didn’t attack us.

‘For them, Taurine is order and law itself.’

Taurine said we were her guests.

Unless she changes her mind, no marauders will attack us without going crazy.

At least that was the case within the village.

So, you can take it easy for now.

“Don’t do anything else and sleep well. “Don’t go out and collapse for no reason.”

“yes.”

Ellis nods.

Then he took out a sleeping bag opposite me and put himself in it.

And just like that, I fell asleep.

Although she didn’t say it, she was quite tired right now.

I looked at her, then turned my head and looked at the ceiling.

I’m moving because I want to live, but I’m sleeping in enemy territory.

I laughed at my contradictory appearance.

The Marauders’ morning started quickly.

I woke up before the sun rose, got ready to go, and cooked rice.

The sound made us naturally wake up at that time.

“Good morning.”

When I put on the mask and went outside, the first thing that greeted me was Beatrice with wide eyes.

Her eyes were red and bloodshot, as if she had stayed up all night.

It is clear that they were so distracted by the looters’ magic that they lost track of time and analyzed it.

“Did you sleep well?”

As I was about to pack my bags and move, Taurine came to me with a lively face.

And when he saw us looking like we were about to leave, he fell silent.

And he said with a slightly calm face.

“Are you leaving now?”

“yes. “Thanks to you, I had a good rest.”

When I lowered my head, she said it was no big deal and told me to straighten my back.

But there was something strange about her expression.

He wanted to tell me something with a shocked face.

“Is there anything you want to say?”

“…you guys. “Shouldn’t I be here today?”

“…?”

“It’s a little… not right outside right now. You’ll take care of it. “They don’t seem like people who would go anywhere and get beaten up.”

She stopped talking, scratching her head.

That action made me feel uneasy.

Doesn’t it feel like something is happening outside right now?

“Are you going to the mountains?”

“yes.”

“Then take these and go.”

She handed me three fish as I nodded.

Two brown natas and one red nata.

“yes?”

It was hard to believe that they were handing Nata, their most important asset, to a stranger.

She said to me, blushing slightly as I was embarrassed.

“If you get to the mountain range and release it, it will come back on its own. And…come back alive.”

She braided her hair with her fingers to make it look out of place.

I felt like my hair turned white in an instant.

Why is this woman suddenly acting like this?

“Because I liked it for a long time.”

Her little murmur.

I felt a shiver run down my spine at the sound of that voice.

Ah, why did I forget this?

Ruler of the North Swordmaster of the North.

Taurine She was an old maid and was looking for a husband.

And I guess I liked it.
