CH 109

: Hearthstone City Saint-Dermain (1)

"Take it."

Earl Wellton handed the sword to Jamie.

It was a simple sword with almost no decorations. However, unlike the appearance, it was not an ordinary sword.

"It's a magic sword."

"My name is Scud."

It is a sword that means 'running'.

You will know what kind of magic it is if you try it, but it seemed to contain something quite useful.

"Dad must have been around fourteen. Even my grandfather told me to come and visit the world."

"Alone?"

Huh. He was truly a ruthless man. Then he gave me some money, a backpack, and this sword."

If you are a swordsman, come see the world.

The former headmaster always had this word in his mouth.

His son, Count Hyun, was also merciless.

-Argeno. A great swordsman needs a lot of experience. go go

A samurai training under the guise of a three-year journey that began like that.

The problem was that I couldn't write the name of 'Welton'.

The Count felt the power of the name at that time.

It's been 3 years and I've learned a lot. It would not be an exaggeration to say that those experiences made him who he is today.

"Although the place you are going to is not for training as a swordsman, you will inevitably see and learn a lot."

just like he did when he was young.

Maybe his clever son will come and learn more. No, it certainly will.

So the Count didn't worry.

"Go away in good health."

"Yes, father. I'll be fine.

okay. It's okay to get hurt, so come back stronger."

The Count gently embraced his son and rose from his seat.

Then he said to Sears, who was forcing himself to hold back his tears.

"Tell me what you want to say. Don't cry."

" Jamie."

"Yes, Mom."

Sears opened her mouth with red tears in her eyes, determined to never show her tears in the end.

"My dad said it was okay to get hurt, but my mom hates my son getting hurt. So don't get hurt, stay healthy. If you are sick, call your mother. Understand?

Yeah. I will."

"My son, we must return safely."

"Whoever sees it will think Jamie is going to die."

The Count smiled broadly and shook his head.

The last one was Sarah.

Sarah wept and stuttered towards her brother. And he suddenly held out the teddy bear.

"Chenny will protect you."

It seems that the teddy bear's name is Cheney.

Jamie accepted Cheney and nodded.

"I'll think of it as an alter ego of Sarah."

Uh!!

Finally, he clasped his hands together vigorously and answered.

Finally everything was ready.

Jamie left the mansion with family see-off until the end.

* * *

"Have you all said hello to your family?"

Siegfried came out first, saying it was not his place.

Then he looked at the sword wrapped around Jamie's waist and said.

sword? Is it for self-defense?"

no. I use swords."

" Confucius uses a sword?"

Yeah. Is there any problem?"

"Magic swordsmen are vague people."

Siegfried did not have to turn around and stabbed him straight in.

"Learning both magic and sword at the same time means that in the end both become ambiguous."

"I know."

"Do you believe in talent?"

"Rather than believing, it's a natural feeling."

As Jamie responded with a relaxed face, Siegfried smirked involuntarily.

Jamie Welton, whom he experienced, was not arrogant, even though he was not childish and had great abilities.

Because it is natural.

It is possible because they take their talents for granted.

And talking about swords was the same as talking about magic.

'Does that mean that he was born with a sword?'

I've never seen it in person, so I honestly don't know how much it is.

Although Siegfried was a genius born with magic, unfortunately, he was not born with the talent of nothing.

"Anyway, you don't have to worry. The magic is steadily getting stronger."

Marquis Linmer said:

Jamie's talent would take care of improving the level of magic.

Having seen it with my own two eyes, it has become an undeniable story.

Siegfried said with a smirk.

"You will know better. Shall we stop?"

"But how are you going? Warp?"

Hmm. I think I want to go at once, but... There is a place I want to stop by, is it okay if I go through there?"

"Then you can take me and go."

"Is Confucius also interested?"

"Where are you?"

"The gemstone city of Saint-Dermain. The magic stone market is going to open in the near future."

"The Hearthstone City!"

Jamie was also well aware of the gemstone city of Saint-Dermain.

It was a city with the largest magic stone mine in the Kingdom of Seldam and a world-famous magic stone market.

Manastone is a stone in which mana has been crystallized over a long period of time, and it was an essential item for wizards.

It can be used to enhance magic, or it can be used to craft artifacts.

It was simply an all-purpose stone that could be used for all things related to magic.

"Are you interested?"

"Very good. let's go To Saint-Dermain."

The first destination has been decided.

* * *

The gemstone city of Saint-Dermain was attached to the Kelton Mountains in the south of the Kingdom of Seldam.

Kelton, a huge rocky mountain range, was rich in various kinds of minerals, and a total of six estates divided the Kelton Mountains.

And they began to group themselves together and call it the 'rock union'.

Contrary to its rustic name, the Rock Union came to wield great influence in the southern part of the kingdom, and now it has established itself as a representative of the southern provinces.

The lord of Saint-Dermain, Piccola Jain, was the leader of such a rock association.

"You have the nickname of the father of rocks."

"It's not a fancy nickname."

"Depending on the point of view, it could be."

Siegfried was walking like a stroll, explaining the history of Saint-Dermain.

"Anyway, it is said that all the minerals in the south will only be distributed outside after going through the hands of Pikola Jain."

a. It's ridiculous. There must be towns and villages spread all over the mountain range, so how can all the minerals pass through Saint-Dermain? cumbersome."

"I think the same. If you do that for nothing, you will only lose more money."

That would be a metaphorical expression of the great power in the South.

It was understandable enough.

Saint-Dermain is a city built on a huge honeycomb called the Manastone Zone. In the case of manastones, even if they were grade B or higher, they were worth five times the value of gold if they were the same weight.

The number of B-grade or higher manastones mined in Saint-Dermain was uncountable, and not only A-grade but also S-grade were mined.

In terms of capital, it will be comparable to Rezen, the largest commercial city where Earl Simon is the lord.

Unless the lord was somewhat incompetent, he had no choice but to be the core of southern power.

"This time, it should be what I want."

"What do you want?"

"It's no fun if you tell me that in advance."

Saying so, Siegfried waved his index finger.

Jamie frowned and turned her head. I asked, but it just made me feel bad.

"Aren't you crazy?"

"I didn't poke."

"Are you talking a little sloppy?"

"Because I didn't screw up."

"Ah, I'm pissed."

"Oh, wait!"

That was then.

damage !"

Siegfried tried to push Jamie aside.

Before that, Jamie left.

Puff-

Three arrows landed where Jamie was standing.

Jamie frowned and looked at where the arrow came from.

Five men were standing on a small garden. Three of them were aiming their bows here.

It was time to think, 'Are you a bandit?'

Well. I didn't know you'd be chasing me this far... ."

"Anyone you know?"

Siegfried scratched his cheek with a puzzled face.

Jamie was about to open her mouth to ask another question, but the first voice came from the garden.

"Dear my brother! And this thug who killed all my brothers' men! I will definitely catch you and kill you!"

" What did you come here for?"

just. I want you to give me money on the way... I skimmed it."

Siegfried pretended to cut his throat with his finger.

Jamie suddenly had a knee pain.

The bandits in the garden come down. A bloody cold weapon was held in his hand.

Even his skills didn't look bad, so he wondered if he was a bandit.

The man who appeared to be the captain pointed his sword at Siegfried.

"The enemy of my brother!"

Siegfried asked about such a bandit.

"By the way, which one are you?"

What?

Ah. Because I'm not the only one to turn. how many times... ?"

this guy!

At those words, the bandits could not bear it and started running all at once towards Siegfried.

Siegfried looked at them and shrugged and said to Jamie.

"This is very difficult."

That difficult situation started at your fingertips.

Jamie wanted to say that, but it was so ridiculous that no words came out.

Even at that moment, the bandits were rapidly narrowing.

Siegfried said.

where. Can I see some of the skills of Confucius Jamie?"

"Why do I have to clean up the shit that the 7 elders bought ."

"Don't do that. It's okay to give a glimpse of how talented a genius is at least once."

A yangban like a stag beetle.

Jamie chuckled and looked at the bandits.

The chief bandit shouted.

"You say you're putting a little boy in front of you! Are you really human?"

"Even if the bandit said that Anyway, Confucius Jamie?"

Jamie took a step forward, seemingly unstoppable.

Then Siegfried added a word.

"If possible, please use a sword."

Jamie was taken aback by that brazen face.

Siegfried couldn't believe what he had just said. sword and magic. It is said that the two powers cannot coexist, and that they must coexist at an ambiguous level. So please check it yourself.

'He's like a mongrel.'

Thinking like that, I pulled out the scud.

The monotonous but sharp blade was reflected in the sun's light and shimmered softly.

"You are crazy! good! If you want, I'll kill you with that kid!

The contradiction of killing the kid on the topic of putting the kid first.

Jamie stuck out his tongue at the bandit's ignorance and took a stance.

'It's a waste to use a dagger for something like that.'

It's not like that kind of scoundrel or savage technology.

Jamie's mood changed.

It starts with one step.

[White Sea]

Mana takes over the space.

In it, the movement of the bandits became noticeably slow.

Jamie slowly moved along the flow of mana.

'What is mana control? !'

Siegfried's eyes widened as he watched.

An enormous amount of space is controlled under Jamie's mana.

It didn't end there.

Concentrates power on the tip of the sword.

And a normal swipe-

[Welton type transducer]

[White Sea - Press]

The upgrade technology of the White Sea, created by Jamie.

The flow of mana condenses to one point and falls to the ground.

It became a huge pressure, ignoring everything in the mana space.

"Cuckoo!"

"Kek!"

Except for the bowman, the limbs of both of them were twisted and they sat down.

Jamie passed them and hurled himself towards the remnant.

"Shoot, shoot!"

The remaining three bandits pulled the protest all at once.

But none of them ever reached Jamie-

[welton type 10 type]

[Type 1]

[Slicing around]

The blade drew a silvery trajectory.

[Lightning]

Curl rumble!!

A blue lightning bolt erupted from the sword's trajectory and swept the bandits.

Jamie brushed off Scud's blade and put it back in its sheath. It took only 10 seconds to get there.
