Chapter 221: I Love The Sea! (2)
Has it been thirty years already?
Glain looked on with a resigned expression.
Forgot again, huh? Even if its a thirty-year cycle, there are things you should remember.
I do remember. It just didnt come to mind immediately.
Smooth talker. More importantly, hows the sword?
At his question, a young man drew a sword from his waist.
The blade slid out of its sheath without a hint of friction, its elegant form revealed.
Glain watched silently and then nodded.
Its good. Well-maintained.

I didnt come for a heavy conversation Just worried you might be brooding all day. And to hear some news about Hesia, by the way
Hows she doing?
Like a mother anxious for her child near water, he fidgeted restlessly.
Glain, amused by this, spoke up.
Shes doing well. Training harder than anyone. Given the times, it might be natural
Thats a relief.
Shes never been one to do well just because someone told her to, right? Hahaha.
.
A brief silence followed.
Glain, sighing softly, looked out the window and said,
Its starting in a few days I should be heading out too.
Right.
The young man with black hair responded without hesitation as he turned to leave.
Hey, about Hesia
He started to speak but bit his lip, stopping himself.
An awkward smile played on his lips.
No, its fine. Thanks for telling me.
Inside a large open space, dozens of people were gathered.
Each one touched their weapons with solemn expressions.
Among them, a man with a robust build began speaking from the center.
As you all know, this is a sacred battle. The weak are eliminated, and only the strong survive. So survive and prove it.
.
.
I dont know how much a week of preparation has helped but I hope youll fight with no regrets.
Turning his back for a moment, he cleared his throat and continued.
Next, come out and get ready.
A young man with red hair and a brown-haired woman stepped forward.
While the woman looked noticeably tense, the young man was all smiles.
Whats so funny?
Hahaha. Who knows?
You, even until the end
The womans face showed a hint of disappointment, but her smile didnt fade.
It was as if she was relieved to face an easy opponent.
With swords in hand, they faced each other, then the man announced,
Begin.
And with those words, a tremendous wind rose.
Sparks flew as weapons clashed, filling the arena with their sound.
Kaang! Kaang!
The Aura Blade burst forth, revealing a strong intent to kill.
The woman lashed out with her sword, but even in a defensive stance, the young man maintained the upper hand.
Uugh!
She was pushed back by the recoil of the clashing swords.
As the offensive shifted to the young man, he quickly thrust his sword.
Its speed was akin to an arrow being shot.
Sssshk!
Saint? What brings you here so late?
I have something to discuss.
Come in first, then well talk.
She stepped aside, gesturing inside.
Warm cups sat on the table, suggesting she had been having tea.
After leaning back in her chair, Iriel poured more tea.
So, what did you want to discuss?
Its a long story from the beginning
I prefer the short and sweet version.
Were on the same page, then.
He joked, but his tone soon became serious.
I had Shinsinwi gather some information. Im not sure about its reliability, but there are three places where the lineage of heroes congregates.
How did you pinpoint these three locations?
Theyre the only three places in the Western Continent where no one has ever set foot.
So, youre saying they might or might not be there? And you want me to accompany you to these places, correct?
Exactly, you catch on quickly.
Then work hard.
As she moved to leave the room, Ray grasped her wrist.
I need you, Iriel.
Had this been a more charming and atmospheric place, I might have been swayed. But this is asking too much.
She indicated the map.
There, in the remote expanse, lay an isolated sea.
The same sea that had left Ray confounded when Soyeong mentioned it.
With all three locations being seas, it was no wonder Iriel reacted as she did.
This place actually has quite an atmosphere.
What atmosphere? That of becoming fish food?
He nearly nodded in agreement but instead shook his head vigorously, trying once more to convince Iriel.
How about the incredible moonlight view over the calm sea? Wow, romantic.
Of course, if it were calm, it would be breathtaking. However, the seas youre talking about have strong currents and rough waves.
Strong enough to destroy even a sturdy ship. If you fall in, you might get to observe the beautiful underwater environment. Of course, before dying horribly.
.
Even if we manage to get there after all that trouble, if the lineage of heroes isnt there, wouldnt that be utterly futile?
.
She dredged up the thoughts he deliberately avoided, stabbing at his heart.
He had thought about it too.
What if, after all the struggle and journeying through the sea, the supposed lineage of heroes wasnt there?
He didnt even want to contemplate such a dreadful possibility.
Yet, having heard of it, he couldnt just not look for it.
To advance and commercialize medicine more quickly, their existence was crucial.
He doubted whether ordinary people could fully comprehend it, and it would take too long.
Releasing the arm he had been holding, Iriel reluctantly turned to look at him.
Phew Even if I agree to go, what about the Holy Kingdom? We cant both be absent without a good reason.
Thats not a problem.
Really? How so
Actually, Goddess Gaia has sent an oracle.
An oracle from the Goddess? Thats sudden
Find the lineage of heroes and continue the will of the Holy Kingdom, she said.
Really?
It means thats what well tell the Holy Kingdom.
Hearing his words, Iriel was shocked.
Saint, using the gods for your own ends! Thats not right!
Gaia, being generous, will understand. Surely she wont mind if her name is used a few times for the benefit of the Holy Kingdom?
.
Iriel was at a loss for words.
Perhaps even Goddess Gaia would smack her forehead in admiration upon hearing this.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
