episode_0117

Several days have passed since Wade and his party arrived at the Hero’s Tomb.

As time passed, new arrivals arrived one after another, and as a result, the number of people increased, and soon the area around the tomb became as densely populated as a market place.

There were quite a few people gathered at the tomb, and they came from all over the continent.

Naturally, there were different types of people.

Men, women, old people, middle-aged people, young people, and even boys.

With so many different people gathered in one space, it was natural for various problems to arise.

The area around the tomb became so noisy that it was fitting to say that there was no windy day.

And, needless to say, the cause of most of them was quarrels.

This was because the proportion of unmanned people among those gathered here was high.

Even children in their prime are eager to determine who is stronger, so it was strange that when this many people who made fighting their profession gathered together like this, no fights broke out.

Of course, that doesn’t mean those fights all started for bad reasons.

There were also cases where people politely requested a sparring match simply because they wanted to test their own skills or gain insight into their opponent’s skills.

… Well, those cases were only some of them.

Perhaps because they are a tribe that trains themselves to fight better and uses their brains to fight better, any trivial reason often escalates into a fight.

The good news is that those fights never escalated into anything too big.

It was because of the place and time.

They knew that they would soon be entering the tomb of the warrior, not knowing what was waiting for them inside, and that if they fought too fiercely and got injured, it would only be a loss for them.

However, like all things in the world, there were people who were exceptions.

“What, it’s still not open? When will it open?”

A relatively young-looking man whose voice is so loud that the surrounding area echoes.

A man whose white hair has grown beyond his back and stands out despite being a man whose time has long since grown and groomed it carelessly.

Without paying attention to what those around them think, they inadvertently make loud noises that raise eyebrows. In a place like this, it was a good behavior to stand out and cause a fight, but for some reason, no one started a fight with the man.

No, on the contrary, there were people who noticed the man’s feelings and quietly walked away from him.

That was because people around him knew the man’s identity.

Kahim, a white tiger, from Elamkurtan, an island in the swirling sea at the southern tip of the continent.

That was the man’s identity.

Kahim was a warrior who appeared on the continent a few years ago and quickly became famous.

None other than outstanding skills.

Of course, simply having good skills ends at the level of becoming famous in the area where you are active.

And those warriors were now spread out around the tomb.

The man, Kahim, was different from those people.

He had a reputation that was far different from the level of just walking around in the neighborhood.

And the reason he was able to gain such fame was because he had overwhelming skills.

To some extent, there are rumors that his skills are close to the level of the Ten Swords.

There was no way that such a person would not attract attention if he appeared here.

At such a young age, there is talk that he might become the next Ten Swordsman.

And the attention thus gathered was expressed in a rather rough form.

Some unmanned people were making a point of arguing with Kahim.

Most of the warriors gathered here are quite skilled.

And those people tend to have stronger pride.

There were quite a few people who thought that Kahim’s reputation and skills were just rumors and not as great as they thought, or that their own skills were superior.

In this way, Kahim faced many controversies and challenges.

In the end, they were all defeated.

No, it wasn’t just a defeat, it was completely destroyed.

With a gap that was at best extreme, they were broken horribly.

Even though among them there were some who were famous for their considerable skills.

After those things happened, no one would argue with Kahim.

That was why no one approached Kahim even in this situation.

However, that didn’t mean there was no one by his side.

“The tomb will be opened in a few days. So stop whining and be quiet.”

There was a woman who clearly paid attention to Kahim, who was talking loudly with a bored face.

It would be difficult to call him soft in his tone or attitude.

Considering the rumors about Kahim and the things he showed here, no one would dare treat him like that, but the woman was calmly doing something shocking to those around her.

However, what was more surprising was Kahim’s reaction.

“How many days? So, do I have to wait in this boring state for another few days?”

Considering the rumors going around about his personality and the attitude he showed here, if someone had used that kind of tone towards him, he would have straightened up and shown his teeth, but for some reason, Kahim’s reaction was calm.

Kahim didn’t seem to have any intention of finding fault with the woman’s tone.

Rather, the conversation continued as if it was natural.

“Yes. So please wait quietly. Do you know how much attention was focused on what your brother did here?”

“Hey, who fought because they wanted to fight? Because they fight first─”

“Noisy.”

“… I can’t say anything.”

The title ‘oppa’ and natural conversation.

Above all, he has white hair like Kahim’s and, if you look closely, his facial features are similar.

Once these clues were gathered, it was not difficult to deduce the woman’s identity.

Her name is Pana.

She was Kahim’s younger sister who came to the continent with Kahim when he left the island.

Unlike her older brother Kahim, who is very famous in the industry, not much is known about her.

All I could do was stay by Kahim’s side and handle external affairs on behalf of my brother.

However, it was clear that she was also quite talented.

In any case, the Kahim siblings were quite noticeable in this place where all kinds of people gathered.

However, they were not the only ones receiving attention.

“Hey… Lord Baran, may I ask you to spar… … .”

Someone cautiously approached a man and asked:

The target was a man with hair resembling the sea and an appearance like a painting.

Just walking down the street… No, a man who looks like he would monopolize the attention of many women just by being there.

The man nodded with a sculptural smile.

“You mean Dalian? Of course.”

“Are you sure… ?! Okay, thank you… !”

After receiving the man’s permission, the warrior bowed his head repeatedly with a smile on his face.

And the man stopped him.

It was a friendly scene rarely seen here or in conversations between warriors.

The man’s name is Baran.

He was a man who attracted attention in a different way than Kahim.

Unlike Kahim, who suddenly appeared on the continent like a comet, Baran was quite famous from the beginning.

That’s because he was the child of a famous samurai family, the Bellort family.

Born as the child of a famous samurai family, Baran entered the world of martial arts by following the standard path.

And he quickly attracted attention with his talent that could be called a genius.

A boy with both background and talent, a boy who was able to stand above the heads of warriors just by following the path paved by his family and his father, suddenly went on a trip one day.

The reason was that I wanted to see and experience the world with my own eyes.

The boy who went out into the world saw and learned many things, and with the martial arts he learned from his family, he helped many people in trouble with his own strength.

Time passed, and the boy became an adult.

The talent to be called a genius finally blossomed after going through many experiences.

If things continue like this, there’s a rumor going around that it’s only natural that he will become the next Ten Swordsman.

As such, he has excellent skills, an extremely upright personality, and a just and sincere personality that cannot be expressed in words like kindness.

Lastly, with his extraordinarily beautiful appearance, his fame did not just remain in the world of warriors, but also spread to the outside world.

In other words, the character Baran Bellort could be said to have everything.

He was a character that was always missing in every aspect, and he had a good personality, so there were very few people who disliked him, but of course, it didn’t mean that he didn’t exist at all.

On the contrary, because he was so perfect, there were quite a few people who were jealous of him.

Especially among the warriors living in the same generation.

With him appearing here in person, it was no wonder that people who wanted to tarnish his reputation appeared.

Those who wanted to prove that Baran Bellort’s reputation was nothing more than a façade created by the prestige of his family formally requested a sparring match with Baran.

And, Baran subdued them all without difficulty.

In some ways, it was a similar flow to Kahim, but the results were different.

Unlike Kahim, who showed a truly beast-like appearance during the sparring process, Baran maintained a gentle and polite demeanor throughout.

Therefore, unlike Kahim, who everyone is afraid of and does not approach, there are still people around him like this.

As such, Kahim and Baran were receiving considerable attention here.

However, that doesn’t mean they monopolize others’ attention.

No, if we were to be honest, it could be said that the attention they received was only partial.

The vice-president of the ‘Crystal Society’, who purposely came here to see the magic of Toberhaville, the next chieftain of a hunting people who rarely appears outside, and the ‘Arundel of Alundel’ who was sent to inspect and record the inside of the tomb. The same was true for the ‘scholars’ scholars.

They were people who would attract attention wherever they went on the continent, but in the end, they did not become the main characters of this event.

It was natural.

After all, two of the Ten Swords were here.
