Chapter 118 Home of a swordmaster
"There it is…"
Dawn had broken out a while ago but they were only seeing the gates of the new town right now.
"Wow…"
And, the gates that were just as grand as the gates of Moongold actually surprised a few of them.
"This is different somehow, right?"
Unlike the normal black stone walls, the walls of Yuta seemed to be made from some kind of grayish rocks that were also shiny like some metal.
There was a unique shine to them, so under the rising sunshine, they were shining like some newly polished shield on a deadly battlefield.
There were more guards visible on the town walls as well, and there were also much more armored soldiers than what they had in Moongold.
"That's the home of a Swordmaster for you."
Unlike Moongold, Yuta was a normal town that did not have that many unique facilities.
There was no magic tower here since the knight association here was a prominent organization, and, there was also no grand library here so not that many players stayed here.
It was also a town made for beginners, but not that many players came to this place. But still, when one talks about the beginner towns that followed a certain niche in the Kingdom of Viv, Yuta was one of the names that came up.
"I think we will have some fun here, at least."
Alex was smirking as she stopped the carriage at the end of a long line of players, individuals, carriages, and those who were traveling on their unique mounts.
They weren't going to stay here for long, but there were some very fun things that they were going to do here.
"Have you been here before, Alex?"
Miss Rin was curious why she was so excited since unlike Misha who was generally looking forward to most of the things that they were doing every day, Alex was not usually as excited as she was right now.
There was perhaps a certain reason behind her happiness, but Miss Rin was not expecting an answer like the one she got from her.
"Hehe, this is my first time here, but you know what? I've defeated that arrogant old 'swordfish' from here many times in the past.
He is a fun guy, hehe. And I have some business I have to take care of here."
Elio was still focused on the castle walls, the guards, the knights on top of their armored horses… This was a unique town, even though it was not the same as Moongold.
It was just the early morning, and yet there was a long line of individuals, merchants, trainees, guests, and prospects who wanted to join the various Knight halls under the knight association in the line before them.
Yuta was pretty much like a training town for those who wanted to become a knight or wanted to solidify their foundations.
"You've defeated the swordmaster as well…?"
When someone said 'Swordfish' in Yuta, every native and most players would know who they were talking about, and Miss Rin did as well.
"Yup~."
Miss Rin had not seen it directly but from what she understood, Alex saved them from the mage tower master.
Even though he was a strong mage and she was not even half of his level at the moment, she somehow killed a person that even a soldier like her could not defeat.
She was weak and she knew that already, but different from her, Alex defeated someone like that with no significant injuries.
"You're… quite something, you know?"
If she was right, then it might also be true that the one who actually healed them was also her… and, she was thankful for that much.
Still, the fact that someone like her had defeated the Swordmaster in the past was a new thing to her…
"Hehe, of course~. I've defeated Connie as well. That old man was not even that difficult back in the days~."
She had always found it surprising how Alex seemed to be quite close with the librarian even though she was just a new player.
They did not tell her much about themselves or their past yet, but since Miss Rin had not told them much either, she did not think too much about it until now.
But still… a swordmaster was a unique existence that was famous all throughout the world.
Just like the Swordmaster Yuta Shogun Kazuha, these people were Masters of their art as well as people who had achieved second awakening and obtained a unique power from the world, an authority that was a combination of their various achievements.
They were different from the other Masters. In a kingdom setting, a Swordmaster would be treated the same as a royalty and even in the empire that had over a dozen swordmasters, these people were of a high social rank.
They not only had the power of Mana, but also an absolute control over their weapon, as well as their own unique styles that they had honed with countless hours of dedicated training.
The Swordmaster of Yuta especially had a unique style that was said to be quite captivating.
They were strong people that most citizens and even the fellow nobles looked up to.
"Connie and all are fun people most of the time. They aren't really as serious as you might think them to be even with their usual attitude."
The castle gates were reached and the knights checked their IDs before they entered the town and looked at the new wonderful scenery that was quite different from their previous home.
"If you are free later today, how about we go and check out the knight's hall together?"
Miss Rin needed strength, and for those who wielded weapons, fought on the battlefield for the things precious to them, and people who could not wield Mana, this town was nothing less than a mentor.
She needed strength, and Alex had promised she would help her get that strength so that nothing like last time happens once again.
"For now though, do you know any inns here?"
"Oh, yes. I do, actually."
The Swordmaster was a position and a title granted by the world and not by some particular individual or nation.
These people were called as such because they had obtained something that not all mortals could, and they had surpassed their limitations to achieve that.
They were just like a normal person… and yet, they possessed the power to express their own Truth, and materialize the 'Path' in their unique manner.
