The Old Knight of a Frontier District

Episode 7: Swordsmith Zendatta (Part II)

6.

Well.

Shall we start with the story of the Devil's Sword, which you are familiar with?

The Devil's Sword, now known, has been established over the years by swordsmiths wielding their wisdom and power.

Young Argolide.

Just what you have, "The Blue Lady".

It was roughly two hundred years ago, but let's just say that the swordsman Gouid and others who worked it out is the complete period of the Devil's Sword.

One demon sword was powerful enough to change the victory or defeat of the war.

War is not as complex and massive as it is now, and it was often winning or losing in a duel of representative knights.

An excellent demon sword ripped any armor and scratched the enemy knight.

It goes without saying how advantageous it was in the war at the time to have a weapon that would always win over the enemies you thought this would be, even if you didn't get a single hit.

Also, the only weapon that could counter the Warcraft was the Demon Sword.

A lord who could protect his people from the Warcraft was able to win a great deal of respect.

Thus the Devil's Sword has become the best grace award.

The king had a monopoly on rare raw materials and methods of making, and gave the handled knight the Devil's Sword instead of territory.

The Devil's Sword was such a delightful grace, rather than getting a small territory or something.

But times have changed.

The war has become more and more massive and more complex.

As the armor develops, that demon sword is also no longer invincible in the battle of the human hand.

A modern metallic armor can't be ripped apart by a demon sword.

Now the knight's sword is big, tough, and it's like blowing your opponent with every armor.

That's a hammer in the shape of a sword, and I'm sorry to make that stuff even if it's ordered.

Or, I said I didn't want this.

And the Warcraft stopped coming out.

Above all, this could have been bigger.

When this happens, the portability of the steel sword becomes more appreciated than the rarity of the demon sword.

Anyway, you can make twenty of the best steel swords for the cost and hassle of making one demon sword.

In addition, the rarest of the materials needed for the Devil's Sword is no longer available.

This is still being produced for the autonomy of the Temple of Mercano.

But over there, we use holy hardware over weapons.

When I was younger, I was outraged that the King had not ordered the Devil's Sword for twenty years.

But I'm glad to hear that.

Times have changed.

Different metallurgical (Yakin) techniques emerged from the efforts that once attempted to create the Devil's Sword.

But the Devil's Sword itself is a relic of the past.

No.

There may be times when you need the Devil's Sword.

But don't you need to make a new one until you can't?

The Devil's Sword was very expensive and important.

Each one has a name, so much so that some swordsman knows which sword is in which house.

Demon swords are rarely lost.

If it is missing, it will be grinded back and if it breaks, it will be rebuilt.

The number of Demon Swords does not decrease.

The old aristocratic arsenal will be loaded with many demonic swords.

Even if the same number of warcraft have appeared in this country since the beginning of history, there should be enough demon swords in this country to fight for.

The value as a grace award has been lost.

This is all the more so for the old aristocrats, and because it is not of much practical value for the new aristocrats.

Even from the king's side, there has recently been no longer any resistance on the part of the nobles to granting prizes with gold, not territory, so they have also been forced to build demonic swords.

The fact that I was able to leave the King's Capital proves that the age of the Devil's Sword is over.

A swordsman who once completed the making of the Devil's Sword was never allowed to leave the king's presence.

Let's just say that's all we have to say about the Devil's Sword, which is well known today.

Okay, then.

The swordsmiths wonder why they tried to make the Devil's Sword.

Why did you think you could make a sword that would slash and tear apart the Warcraft?

From here on out, we'll be talking about legends.

It is a legend told by the old swordsmiths in the past.

I was able to hear from some swordsmiths on Boy's Day.

I took the time to sort it out.

The earth was once full of spirits.

The Spirits lived happily ever after, not contending with men, nor with submen, nor with beasts.

The spirits were also bearers of strange powers.

He had the strange power to travel in an instant to distant places, talk to friends in distant places, and defeat strong enemies.

Some of those spirits have emerged with particular strong power.

Some of you had a theory that hundreds and thousands of spirits were born in one place.

Its mighty spirits were called Divine Spirit Beasts and Holy Spirit God.

It is not clear how many divine spiritual beasts there were.

I think maybe six or seven.

Eventually, the gods split into two factions and began to dispute.

Each of the gods fought with the Spirits on his side.

You can say that each person and sub-person sided with the gods, or not.

The mountains were slashed, the earth burned down, and eventually the war ended with the victory of one faction.

After a long time, when the gods left the earth and man came to rule the earth, it happened.

It's the emergence of a warcraft.

It is said that the king of man at the time knew rightly who the Warcraft was.

And he asked the Divine Spirit Beasts for help in order to gain strength against the Warcraft.

I don't know if the spiritual beasts were involved in any of the gods' wars.

Anyway, even after the gods and spirits left, the Divine Spirit Beast remained on this earth.

The Divine Spirit Beasts lived up to the wishes of the King of Man in a unique way.

They turned themselves into weapons.

No, you don't.

We got inside the weapon.

The incarnate swords and spears of the Divine Spirit Beast easily slashed and tore the hard skins and bones of the Warcraft.

It is also called crushing a giant rock and slashing and tearing the earth apart.

Depending on how you use it, there were swords that could defeat hundreds of Warcraft at once.

This is how a man got a weapon that could counteract a warcraft.

That's right.

This is the Devil's Sword.

This was the true Devil's Sword.

Whereas things of the mythical age are in a distant past that is roughly beyond the reach of history, this demonic sword can be seen in its activity only as far back as about three hundred years ago.

Yes, it is.

We can trace the work of the Devil's Sword in the history of every country.

The swordsmiths who once sought to create the Devil's Sword had seen the real Devil's Sword.

With the Devil's Sword, they told their disciples what they could do and what kind of a sword it had.

However, the specifics were kept secret.

It was only conveyed in the form of metaphors and legends.

That's not what I had to do.

If the existence of the Devil's Sword and its mighty power become known and it becomes clear where and by whom, it is not necessary to say what will happen.

There will be war trying to take it away.

If the characteristics and weaknesses are known again, there will be misfortune in the handshake.

Those who possess the Devil's Sword and their country will never be able to remain at peace.

Then the Devil's Sword itself will be a disaster.

That's why the truth about the Devil's Sword and its specifics were kept secret.

It's the same thing I don't tell anyone about the fact that you have a true demon sword.

Thus those who knew the ancient demon sword died, and all that remained was an obscure oral biography.

But the swordsmiths who inherited the oral tradition believed that the true demon sword was still somewhere.

Me, too.

My mentor believed it, too.

But the master died without seeing the true demon sword.

Like many of our forefathers.

I tried to end this thought with me, and I didn't teach it in my day.

Did you understand that I was so moved to tears when I saw General Bardo's Devil's Sword?

8

What an old man, or predecessor Zendatta, said he saw that blue-green phosphorescent light.

Of course it doesn't look like Chantillion or contemporary Zendatta at all.

And also, the moment I first saw this ancient sword, this old man discovered that it was a true demon sword that he had yearned for many years.

It is a miraculous insight.

Bardo made the two swordsmen and Chantillion listen by talking about the encounter with the ancient sword and its aftermath.

The swordsmith, with the forgiveness of Bardo, also allowed the three disciples to attend.

Bardo's story spanned a long time.

When Bardo concluded his conversation, he felt Princess Idra's prayer and Stabolos' soul in the ancient sword, some of them wept in his eyes.

According to the speculation of the predecessor Zendatta, it would be a particularly powerful pillar among the divine spiritual beasts, the Divine Dragon (Meguierion), that dwells in the ancient sword held by Bardo.

Meguierion.

Ruler of the sky.

The great king of snakes.

It is a fairytale god that everyone knows, that it gave shelter to the ancient heroes.

Once again, they saw the ancient sword with their fearful eyes.

Knowing the truth about the Devil's Sword, Bardo was convinced.

After all, Van Fleur, Cars' sword, is the same ancient sword as Baldo's sword.

It is a sword that houses the power of the Spirit Beast.

Bardo asked the swordsmith what about King Kerdebaj's spear.

Then the predecessor Zendatta,

"That was a true demon sword, too, which means it could be a lot.

However, there is no detailed rhetoric left and I am not sure what the characteristics of that power are.

If that spear was a demon sword, it would mean that there was a real demon sword that went up on the surface stage of history only eighty years ago. "

and expressed an opinion.

Bardo next said that when he used an ancient sword, he initially felt a strong weakness and thought it was a sword that sucked life and exerted its power.

Then the swordsmith,

"I've never heard of that.

It's just that the immense power of the Spirit Beast in the Sword passes through your body.

Before you get used to it, you may feel terribly tired or painful.

Anyway, to sum up the inheritance, the true demon sword should heal the weariness of the user and give him a strong life force.

Didn't you say you seem to have recently rejuvenated your body and mind and are doing very well?

It matches exactly what is conveyed as the effect of the Devil's Sword. "

I said and laughed.

After a paragraph of the story, the swordsmith told Contemporary Zendatta, his disciple.

"Contemporary temple.

At my gate, I will change the order owner's hips first.

It is said that this is to determine the weight of the owner.

That's what I and you have done.

Bye.

Don't you think the meaning of the word "instrumentality" is about identity, wealth, sword arms, number of battles, how to fight, how to take care of them, and being the owner?

That's not true, but I think that's the only thing that's missing. "

"The key thing, is it"

"Destiny.

Rather than fate.

Let's call it a role.

It's a joy to have a life where you know your part and you can do it and die.

Look at General Bardo.

The true Devil's Sword is the one in which the Divine Spirit Beast dwells, so if it is not recognized by the Divine Spirit Beast, it will not give true power.

General Bardo said he was met with this sword at a grocery store in a small village on the border.

That's not even the kind of talk to lose your hips.

In the meantime, it is recognized that the Devil's Sword is not known to be used and is from a dwelling divine spiritual beast.

I'd like to know if it's something like that.

But this is the truth.

Humans meet weapons according to their weight.

A knight over a tremendous weapon also carries a tremendous fate.

There are certain occasions when General Bardo will one day need Chantra Meguierion.

That is probably the kind of occasion that will even change the fate of many countries.

The joy of being present and helping is the flavor of a swordsman. "

The swordsman laughed delightfully when he said.

And

"It's not like I ever moved to a country like this."

I said.

Chantillion asked the swordsmith if he had left the king's capital because the air and water here were good for striking the sword.

"Young lady.

That's not true. Wow.

I really like places that are busy and have women and booze.

But there were too many guests in King's Capital seeking Zendatta's name.

If it's so inconvenient and boring in the country, I don't have any visitors to ask.

The guests who come here are deliberate guests or guests with so much edge.

I didn't think the disciples would follow me. "

"Master.

I thought I still had something to teach my master.

I'm glad I offered it, and I'm glad I did now.

I have a new goal. "

My predecessors looked terribly funny at the words of contemporary Zendatta.

"Goal."

"Yes.

This is it. "

That said, the contemporary showed a broken sword.

"I was proud to say it was the best sword ever.

He said it was a sword that couldn't even beat the demon sword.

I didn't know that would break like this.

General Bardo's Devil's Sword has little scratches.

So much so that I don't know where I hit this time.

My sword was to this extent.

From now on, I will make a sword that will easily fold this sword, just like General Bardo's.

It's not a demon sword.

I don't even use holy hard silver.

I'm sure you'll find a new, better manufacturing method based on steel.

Oh.

Maybe that will be a new demon sword.

That's right.

I want to create a new demon sword. "

And when you change your posture and thank your predecessors deeply,

"Master.

I will return to the king's capital when I have finished striking the sword I offer my lord.

Look for an engineering bachelor who is young and willing to do it, make friends, and give life to a new goal.

Thank you for your help to this day. "

and stated his determination.

The three disciples also bowed their heads with contemporary times.

The former swordsman stared at his beloved disciples with a smile.

Bardo was somehow delighted to hear the words of a contemporary swordsman.

The words of a contemporary swordsman are not necessarily muscular.

Isn't it?

Bardo's sword is a sword infiltrated with the presence of a divine spiritual beast or a wonder called the Holy Spirit God.

Idra's prayer and Stabolos' soul also dwell.

There's nothing to be ashamed of when you say you just shot a steel sword and broke it.

Compared to decent is strange in itself.

But Baldo felt comfortable with this swordsman who regretted it.

I can't forgive you.

I can't stand it.

That the sword I launched with my soul was lightly broken.

It doesn't matter if the opponent is the sword in which the divine spirit resides.

Try striking an unbeatable sword one day.

The flame of that determination is burning in this man's heart now.

The flame burned down the moves, knowledge and self-esteem that were in this man.

It is the burn that gives rise to something new.

I thought so.

Weren't the swordsmiths the same who first wanted to make the Devil's Sword?

I wonder if there used to be a swordsmith whose sword was crushed with all my forged swords in the dwelling sword of the Divine Spirit Beast.

Otherwise it would be weird.

Just because I saw the serenity of the sword where the Divine Spirit Beast resides, I think I can make something similar without the Divine Spirit Beast is strange about that idea.

But maybe it's not rational.

There was a flame in the heart of one swordsmith whose sword had been crushed that he would make an unbeatable sword.

That burned into the hearts of hundreds and thousands of swordsmiths, and after a long time the Devil's Sword was created.

Outreach Isn't that the truth about history?

Humans are not rational, but guided by the almighty in their hearts to create new things.

The night was about to dawn.

An ancient swordsmith said, sharpening the ancient sword of Baldo.

He said it should be sharpened in a special way.

Bardo began to sleep in a corner of the room when he gave him the ancient sword.

When I woke up, the ancient sword was grinding up beautifully.

I don't know how it happened, but it doesn't look like it can't be done anymore.

Blunt silver swords wrapped around divine dragons teasing them, swords worthy of calling them divine swords.

And my predecessor Zendatta was dead.

When I finished sharpening Baldo's sword, I drank a cup of tea, and with a satisfied face, I lay down in a room facing the garden saying I was tired and resting for a little while.

Bardo woke up, so I tried to wake him up, and he said he was still breathless.

When Bardo worshipped his predecessor, along with Chantillion, he travelled by giving the contemporary swordsman the address of the engineer Auro.

The Shantillion's hips contained the demon sword "The Blue Lady", which the contemporary days had finished sharpening.
