I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 356
356fury
[Let us know with glory! This is the exhibition of holy relics, the pride of Vulcan.!]
“…….”
I even stopped breathing for a moment and looked around with wide eyes..
‘Wow…….’
The name Fire Dragon God's Treasure Trove is not lacking at all..
I saw weapons on display in perfect condition. It feels like I’m at a luxurious art exhibition or museum..
The weapons on display were full of unusual items, even to me, a layman, but they were so well maintained that I couldn't find a single speck of dust..
[How do you feel?! The super collection selected and displayed by this incarnate dragon Vulcan is!]
“very… Excellent.”
[yes? Hahahaha!]
Vulcan let out a cheerful laugh..
I've felt this once before, but when a person works this hard to collect a collection, the desire to show it off to someone skyrockets..
Archmage Alderson was no exception to such desires, and the incarnate dragon Vulcanus was no exception..
‘It's beyond admiration, it's absurd..’
I realized that each piece of armor on display here was as good as or better than the treasures of most great families..
While I thought it was amazing, I also thought that they had put a lot of pressure on the dwarves..
Anyway, the Fire Dragon's Relic Hall was a flawless treasure trove.…….
There's just one problem..
‘…It doesn't really suit Luzard.?’
Actually, the reason I stopped by here was to give our lone Lizardman warrior, Luzard, a decent weapon..
Because the Seven Sins Sword and the Onmyodo Sword were not suitable for Luzard at all.…….
But look at this collection of Vulcanus..
They were all so dazzling and shiny that they did not match the black-scaled Luzard at all..
It's like a pearl necklace on a pig's neck.?
Of course, I'm not saying that Luzard is a pig..
[ruler! So what on earth will you choose?! If you have a hard time choosing, Vulcan himself will recommend it! How about that one? It's a weapon called Thunder Dragon Sword Atem! Lightning strikes every time I swing!]
“lightning is okay.”
[hmm! surely! Is your aptitude for fire? In that case, the Flame Spear Phalanx would be fine! Infusing mana can create a firestorm.!]
“I can already handle fire, so that's fine too..”
[That too! There's nothing more fun than using power you can already handle! So what about artifacts? Topaz Amulet! Just by wearing it around your neck, you can fully understand the nature of wind, and depending on how you use it, you can even fly in the sky! how is it! Isn’t it cool??!
“I can already fly.”
[…….]
Then, the voice that had been excited and burning like boiling lava suddenly became gloomy..
[…Is my collection not that good??]
“That's not it…….”
[… Be honest. Aren't you just laughing at me, thinking that this is God's collection? But I couldn't help it... … . Confined to temples for hundreds of years, we don't even have a chance to learn about universal beauty standards.…….]
Vulcan suddenly begins to mumble in a low voice..
‘What kind of bipolar disorder do you have??’
I felt dizzy from this absurd situation, but I hurriedly spoke because I felt like if I left it alone, I would witness a rare sight of God pouting..
“It's not like that. Due to circumstances, I have had many opportunities to encounter various treasures, and in my opinion, the items collected by the Avatar Dragon are of the highest quality. To be honest, all I could say was admiration..”
[…Really??]
“Of course. I, Luzard, do not lie..”
…That's the setting. for now.
“There are not just great items on display here. As a collector, the most important thing is management, and all the weapons were stored perfectly..”
[…….]
“To be able to build a treasure trove of this level even though there has been no opportunity to contact the outside world for hundreds of years?…….”
[…….]
“Perhaps because he is a god, his natural aesthetic sense is amazing..”
[…okay? yes? Don’t you think so?! Hahahahaha!]
Vulcanus, who quickly felt better, laughed excitedly again..
“…….”
How on earth did the dwarves treat Vulcan so that their relationship became so strained?.
Even if you have only the slightest skill in dealing with a rat, it doesn't seem that difficult to treat this simple god as you wish..
Anyway, while hiding my nervous expression, I continued to pay lip service and looked around.…….
Then, in my field of vision, a place where some rather shabby weapons were gathered caught my eye..
“What is that place??”
[omg! You can't look there……!]
The moment Vulcan shouted in an urgent voice, something like a strange will-o'-the-wisp appeared and moved around as if trying to block my view..
It's really annoying to move around and blink..
I waved my hand, feeling like an annoying fly had stuck to it..
“What are you so embarrassed about? Not everything in this treasury was Vulcan's finest collection.?”
[Well, that’s true, but… … . Wow... how to explain this……!]
Vulcan's voice faded again, and the will-o'-the-wisps began to pace back and forth..
Given the circumstances, it seemed that this fire represented Vulcan's will, so while I was looking at it, Vulcan's voice continued..
[…In this world! Beautiful things abound! And the human imagination is nearly limitless, so even if you create a perfect work of art, you will create something even more beautiful the next time! But unfortunately, the standards of beauty are bound to change with the passage of time! Only a few selected works of art are not affected by such trends! So, do you understand this far?!]
“what… exactly.”
I didn't really understand, but I didn't want the conversation to be long, so I nodded roughly..
[And as you build your collection! There are times like that! Maybe we've reached a spatial limit! The standards of beauty also change depending on the mood of the day! Meanwhile, new offerings keep coming in, and naturally, the new and better ones are put up in a visible place! In other words, the exposure of relatively unbeautiful tributes is bound to decrease.!]
“hmm.”
I spoke at length as if I was making an excuse, but…….
To sum it up, that's it..
It means group 2 among the collection..
however……
“Hmm…….”
I somehow liked the weapons over there better..
At the same time, I understood why Vulcan put them away in an out-of-sight place; the items gathered here were somewhat rough and rough in appearance..
First of all, there is definitely a distance from the word sophistication. It feels more primal.?
Armor without accessories, blades without even engraved patterns, shields designed with an emphasis on practical combat, etc.…….
[W, let’s stop looking at this place and go back over there! huh? This Vulcan will recommend the best equipment for you.…….]
Vulcan seemed restless for some reason..
At first, like the Dean of the past, I thought there might be something of immense value hidden among these weapons.…….
Judging by his attitude, it doesn't seem like that, he just seems to think that the items here are lowering his prestige..
I ignored Vulcan's whining and picked the one that caught my eye the most among the 2nd group's weapons..
“what is this?”
[that…….]
Vulcan, who paused for a moment, answered.
[Umm… … ! The name of the sword is Myeongryongah.!]
“Myeongryong? It means dragon's molars.?”
[Yes!]
“Hmm…….”
It's a simple name.
The appearance is simple but old..
It really looked like it had been forged from a canine tooth, but its simple appearance doesn't mean its value is low..
It's a famous story.
The corpse of a dragon is literally worth hundreds of millions of dollars..
Bones, scales, teeth, of course, heart, intestines, blood vessels, internal organs... Even excrement has a use..
‘Wow.’
When I first heard it, I wondered if it was really that bad.…….
I had no choice but to accept it since I had already made huge profits by defeating the Sapphire Snake..
The corpses of strong, large creatures are worth money..
“I'll take this.”
[…Really??]
“This weapon is not good?”
[There is no such thing as a bad offering in my temple! But Myeongryong has no special abilities.!]
“ah. exactly?”
[However, in terms of sturdiness and courage, it can be said to be the best among the offerings I have! Even dozens of blacksmiths couldn't make a sheath to hold that sword.!]
“Hoo…….”
Does this mean that it is a weapon that cannot be tamed or bound? like a wild horse…….
“I like it.”
[Umm… … ! If you like it, there's nothing you can do.!]
Vulcan quickly shook off his regrets, and we returned to the altar and brought the blade into contact with the flame as if forging it in flames..
Hwareuk-!
Seonghwa suddenly grew in size and was immediately sucked into the blade..
[hmm… … ! became!]
‘Ohh…….’
The feeling has changed a bit..
Just a moment ago, the voice was resonating throughout the entire temple, but now it seems to only be resonating in my head..
Like the voice of a god of war.
[ruler! Then go ahead and lead me to those ungrateful bastards.!]
“I understand. But when you go back, can you put out the flames surrounding the temple??”
No matter how resistant I was to the heat, I didn't want to go through that heat wave twice..
Vulcan replied that he knew what I said, and when I came out of the temple, I could feel a fairly cool breeze..
“Phew…….”
Meanwhile, the surroundings became dark..
It felt like quite a bit of time had passed as I wandered through the mirages, chatted with Vulcan in the temple, and looked around the treasure trove..
Luckily it didn't take long to get back..
To begin with, it wasn't that far away as it was a temple that had to be visited frequently..
If it weren't for the terrible heat wave and mirage, the night wouldn't have ended like this..
however…….
“……?”
By the time I reached the sandstorm hill, I was rubbing the corners of my eyes. Because I wonder if I’m still seeing a mirage..
Or did you run in reverse?.
It had to be that way, because the flower that was surrounding the temple suddenly appeared..
[That… What's going on??!]
“…….”
I wasn't scared, and I wasn't confused about the way..
I ran forward with strength in my thighs..
situation as it appears.
Under the dark night sky, [Sandstorm Hill] became a sea of fire..
***
I quickly arrived at the sandstorm hill and frowned at the scent of blood that filled my nose..
“…What is this.”
Scattered on the streets were the corpses of dwarfs..
[Oh my, this can't be... … . Who the hell are my believers?……!]
While Vulcan was shouting with a confused look on his face, I was feeling similar confusion..
The village that was fine when I left turned into a sea of fire in an instant.?
‘What's going on??’
In the meantime, did the cult members attack me??
But this dwarf must have been their new business partner? They only expelled those who went against their will... … . no. There are too many dead people for that..
“…fuck.”
Meanwhile, I faced a reality that I had always ignored..
The scars left on the dwarf's body looked somehow familiar. A technique that completely kills the opponent with just one attack... … . Swordsmanship reaching the peak of efficiency.
‘why?’
Questions arise more than anything else..
With unpleasant dark clouds rising in my head, I, who had been hurrying my steps, had no choice but to stop..
It was because of a person who appeared in an alley and blocked me..
“I'm here?”
“…….”
Ludwig had stopped disguising himself and was looking at me with his original face. The hidden pupils inside the torn eyes felt like those of a snake today..
I asked slowly.
“…What on earth is going on??”
“Ah, you don't have to do that anymore..”
“…….”
“hmm. After you left, we also investigated this village on our own. The back was a bit bruised..”
“…….”
“These guys are intertwined with the church. The dark church.”
Ludwig laughed..
“Well, I'm sounding proud, but I didn't do anything this time. My father did it all. Should I still call him an iron-blooded hero even if he loses his memories? There were different levels of tracking, infiltration, and stealth..”
Ludwig Badniker is a master of disguise..
He also gave me a lot of advice on disguise in the carriage..
ludwig said.
At no time should you relax, nor should you let go of your disguise..
There is only one time when it is okay.
Only when you can be sure that there will be no witnesses..
then…….
“By the way, what is that in your hand? It's a weapon I've never seen before. It suits you quite well. How did you get into the temple?-.”
“To kill them all?”
Ludwig shrugged his shoulders..
“The entire village was in cahoots with the cult? This place almost became a weapons factory for the cultists. A church member wearing the weapons of a dwarf craftsman... … . Wow. It's terrible.”
“There are probably people who don't know anything.”
“Maybe. Still, it was the decision made by the head of the family. we have to follow.”
I laughed out loud.
I don't understand what's being said.
“Move.”
“why.”
“Because I have to stop my father.”
“so why.”
“If your family is doing something crazy, you should stop them... no.”
Fuck. Do I have to explain this one by one?.
I almost cursed for a moment, but I barely held it in. Somehow, I think I was able to tolerate it because I look like a loser now..
I just passed by Ludwig..
At that moment, a dagger was thrust in front of me..
“Luan Badniker - Sogaju.”
widely.
Ludwig appeared in front of me again and said with a smile on his face..
“Are you dissatisfied with the matriarch’s actions??”
At those words, I made a blank expression and then burst out laughing..
Oh yeah.
It will come out like that..
Then I have a lot to say too..
“What about Brother Ludwig?…….”
“…….”
“Still, I grew up pretty well in this sick family..”
“what?”
While Ludwig looked at me with a blank expression, I continued speaking..
“He grew up very well in this shitty bloodline. Is it because he’s Mr. Lu like me??”
“…….”
“‘They have 'etiquette', 'standards', and are even equipped with 'concept'. Very cool. admit. however…….”
“…….”
“Unfortunately, the most important thing in a person is missing..”
“what is that?”
“moral.”
I said, stepping forward with my left foot first..
“I say it for the last time. Get out of there. Before I get hit.”
