Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius Chapter 129

Episode 129

When I returned to the Count’s house, I immediately went to see the Count.

“What’s going on?”

“Please allow me to live at Count Warrug’s house.”

The Count’s quill pen that was signing the document broke at my words.

His brows were furrowed as he looked up at me.

“Suddenly… I guess something happened.”

The Count saw my face and fell silent.

I was impatient. Ahar is still getting stronger, but I wonder if I’m the only one who has stagnated.

At the very least, you need to become a sword master or equivalent before meeting Ahar.

And to do that, just sparring with the mercenary king was not enough.

I needed more opponents and I needed to experience the swordsmanship of someone who uses the same sword as me.

‘As Count Warrug is a sword master, there is a lot we can learn from him.’

Although the Mercenary King is a master like Count Warrug, he uses fists and I use swords.

Even though there is a saying that it is impossible to dissuade someone, that only applies when you have a certain level of skill.

If you learn something from the beginning, you will end up with nothing.

We are not asking you to dig just one well for no reason.

In that sense, Count Warrug can be helpful to me in many ways.

As someone who has experienced war once, it’s strange that I can’t help.

“What is the reason this time?”

The Count had already refused to refuse.

I’ve already been through this a few times, so I know that just because I say no doesn’t mean I’m the type of person who won’t do something.

“I want to become stronger.”

He explained the reason plainly.

But I guess it was too simple.

“Is it not enough to have gone to the North last time? Even more annoying, the mercenary king is also here. “Do I still have to go see Bane?”

“yes.”

“I get it.”

The count gave permission easier than expected.

It was so easy that I was embarrassed to have asked for it.

“What are you so surprised about? “Did you think I wouldn’t give permission?”

“Honestly… yes. “I thought you would say no at least once.”

“If it had been original, it would have been like that. But just because I refuse doesn’t mean I won’t go, and I’ll probably go anyway, so there’s no need to waste my energy.”

“okay.”

I nodded.

I felt comfortable because he understood me to some extent.

As he said, I will go even if I am not told to go.

I can do anything to live.

Even if it means confronting a king or emperor.

“I’ll tell Bane. “Take the gate and go tomorrow.”

“thank you.”

“I hope we get good results. “I think I would be angry if my son was treated like that.”

He must have been worried about what happened at that time, as he spoke, and his body exuded a ferocious energy.

“The knight commander must be sad. “I was gritting my teeth and offering to teach you how to use a sword…”

“What did you say?”

“It’s nothing. If you’re done with your business, go back.”

“yes.”

As he said, there was no more business.

I left the office and headed to my private room.

‘Oh, now that I think about it, I guess I’ll have to tell the mercenary king as well.’

But I don’t know if it will be okay.

He didn’t seem very close to Count Warrug.

Considering Bane’s reaction, it could be seen as a bad thing.

However, when I told him that I was going to Count Warrug’s house and that I would be there for a long time, his reaction was obvious.

They will shout loudly and tell you not to go.

“Why on earth would you go to a place like that!”

And the prediction was exactly right.

It was natural that sparring with the mercenary king would become difficult if he went to Count Warrug’s house.

So, out of courtesy, I tried to give him some idea in advance.

“I am against it! “I am completely against it!”

However, the reaction was a little more intense than expected.

“But I can’t spar with you forever.”

“why? I love it!”

“I don’t like it. Do you think there are many side dishes for no reason? “There are a variety of things because one thing is not enough.”

“Are you saying you’re sick of me now?”

“It’s not that I’m tired, it’s that I want to experience a variety of things. “I’ll get what I can’t get from you who only uses your fists.”

“That means you’re sick of it!”

He said he was upset and turned away from me.

I scratched my cheek and looked at him for a moment before shrugging my shoulders.

No matter what he said, my mind was already made up.

The Count willingly let me go and even prepared a place for me, but there was no reason not to go even though he told me not to go.

“yes. Then, have a good time at work.”

“Now wait! Is it really a store? “Leave me like this?”

“Then what should I do?”

“Can’t you at least say you’ll think about it? “Why did I come here!”

“I never asked you to come.”

“Uh… that’s right.”

He scratched his cheek with a shy expression.

I never called him. I never even thought about calling him in the first place.

He came on his own.

What am I saying to that?

“Still, we still have feelings for each other until now.”

“I am saying this with that sentiment in mind. “If there was no affection, I wouldn’t have told you.”

We weren’t close, so there was no reason to tell him like this.

He looked at me with an expression on his face that was touched by my words.

He is a very easy person to understand.

“So are you really going?”

“yes.”

“How long will you be there?”

“I plan to stay for a while.”

“Uhm… I figured it out.”

As if he knew something, he nodded with a serious face and left the place.

***

The morning dawned.

I was in good condition, probably because I slept well.

There was no tingling and I felt refreshed.

My heart pounded strangely at something new.

Ellis said she would take care of things like clothes, so all you have to do is move your body.

Now let’s go and learn properly…

“Young Master, the Count is looking for you!”

Less than 5 minutes after I thought this, something happened.

At the butler’s call, I frowned and headed to the office.

“What happened?”

“Come and sit down.”

I seem to come here quite often.

Most of them were due to contact from the crown prince.

-oh. How are you, Raymond?

It was the same this time too.

“yes. long time no see.”

Even though we only met two days ago, he nodded.

-But you don’t look happy.

“no. “I’m very happy to meet you.”

-okay? Nice to meet you too.

The crown prince was smiling.

It wasn’t until I sat down on the sofa that I realized that that smile was missing something.

“What’s going on?”

-Day? It’s a lot of work. That’s why I contacted you this time.

While taking a sip of the tea served by the head butler, the crown prince spoke.

-Lucius Gun was finished well. There is so much evidence of his corruption that I think he could be sentenced to life in prison.

“That’s a good thing.”

-I would like to give him the death penalty right away, but when I think about it, death seems like a luxury to him. I plan on doing it every day to the point where I think it would be better to die.

“I believe you will do well.”

-You have to do well. It’s a bug that’s eating away at the country. If you can’t do it, write it.

Now that the annoying presence has disappeared, I don’t have to worry about that aspect.

-I thought about it in terms of compensation, and I would like to give you land, but the atmosphere in the royal family right now is chaotic, so I can’t give you a title because you have the name Millennium. So I plan to compensate you with money. Don’t be offended, because I’ll make it so you won’t be upset.

“Thank you for caring me.”

It was good up to this point.

As he said, he didn’t want to get a title right away.

It is difficult to obtain a title or create a personal fiefdom.

At least now I don’t have time to worry about that.

‘No. Do I really need to care about that? I have Daria.’

When I think of Yeongji, I think of her as someone who has the power to attract talented people.

In fact, since she was the one who would build a kingdom in the future, she would be able to run a small fiefdom without difficulty.

Furthermore, you will be able to receive help from the Count, which can be of great help in creating your own force.

‘I need to think about this.’

The title can be awarded for meritorious service under the crown prince, or even a viscount may be appointed under the earl’s personal authority.

Since you have a lot of wealth, it is not difficult to increase the power of your territory.

-The reward was this. How did you find out anything about the raiders? I heard from the Count that the leader of that secret organization is a man named Nox.

“Oh, I have something to say about that.”

-yes. I thought you might have figured something out.

Not only the crown prince but also the count was interested in those words.

That was all the Count knew about Knox.

Other than that, there was still little I knew.

Looking at this, you can see how excellent William’s information gathering ability is.

‘He’s not called the information king for nothing.’

Even though he was just beginning to establish an intelligence network, he had a gathering ability that surpassed that of the count or the crown prince.

Looking at it, I thought that it was not for nothing that even the emperor of the empire had asked him to leave the kingdom.

‘It’s understandable that Ahar is distressed because this guy is with Mahol.’

There was no way they could win because they were pushing their opponents based on their overwhelming information power.

“The name of the organization is Terris…”

I summarized the information I heard from William and said only the necessary information.

-Hmm, indeed….

The crown prince nodded occasionally while listening to me.

“Do you think they have this much information? “It wouldn’t be a bad idea to meet him once.”

I vaguely felt like I could hear the Count muttering, but I ignored it.

William does not work for free, and in order to request him, there must be a reasonable price.

“…That’s it.”

-Good. Surely you are trustworthy. I see that you are so good at finding out things that you didn’t even entrust. Instead of doing that, how about becoming my person?

“My answer is always the same.”

-That’s too bad. What do you think, Count?

“I respect Raymond’s opinion.”

-Well, I guess so.

The crown prince nodded with an expression that showed he had expected it.

The playful atmosphere disappeared for a moment and started to become serious.

In a heavy atmosphere, the crown prince opened his mouth.

-Things got a bit difficult this time.

“What’s going on?”

-You know that we nominally belong to the Empire, right?

“yes.”

-So, the royal family often came to visit the royal family, but it was said that one royal family member was visiting again this time.
