I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated Chapter 343

Chapter 343

Kiara asks back. Is it a request? In other words did you co to this dungeon at the request of soone? But who?

“Well if it’s Kiara and her friends, It’s god!”

“What?” Kiara asks in disbelief. Apparently even Kiara can’t agree to those words. As if that was funny, Asura chuckled and continued to say more.

“Kukuku, Apparently, the gods have a peculiar obsession with divine swords.They are supposedly always being watched.”

It is possible that depending on how the divine swords are used, they could beco more dangerous than evil gods. That could be why they’re being monitored.

“And if sothing goes wrong, he’ll send the oracle flying.Well, I guess it’s just a matter of ti before you start using it.”

“Does that an that you are commanded by God to do so kind of mission?”

“No it’s not sothing that big. This ti it’s just a one way trip to the location of this place”

“Then, is it an order?”

God is sending information about the place directly as if he wants to go there, so it certainly seems like an order just like a says. But apparently, that’s not the case.

”I’ve only ever received a proper order twice now. Besides, I’ve ignored your request a few tis in the past, but I haven’t been accused of anything before.”

“Y- You ignored him! The oracle!”

”Well, I was in the middle of so important work that I couldn’t take off otherwise. But they didn’t punish you, so I guess that ans they’re not angry.”

You’re a brave man. Even if it wasn’t an order, it’s a request from God that you ignored. Even Kiara looks anxious as she listens back.

That’s unusual for soone from this world. No, now that I think about it, I’m being made to struggle with a skill I don’t want, so maybe I’m taking a surprisingly slanted view of God.

“Is it really that there is no punishnt? Isn’t it simply that there is no punishnt yet to be ted out?”

“Hahaha, like the Laurentian tragedy?”

“A,aaa…”

“What is… the Laurentian tragedy?”

Huh? “Is the Black Cat Lady from another continent, perhaps?”

“Yes”

“Well, then I guess it’s no wonder you don’t know.”

The tragedy of Laurencia was apparently an incident that took place about 150 years ago on this continent. The story goes back another 50 years - or 200 years from now.

At that ti, there was a small nation called the Laurentian Kingdom to the south of the Beastn Nation. Due to their geographical position, they were always standing in the downwind of the Beastn Nation and were treated like a vassal state. The king was too young and too patriotic to endure it.

‘What should such a king do?’ Foolish people with power would think the sa anywhere. The King of Laurencia then invited an evil magician to summon an evil god by offering his soul to the evil god through that man. From the beginning, the king did not intend to summon evil gods, but rather to bring chaos and exhaustion by unleashing a large number of fecund goblins into the Beastn Nation. The King of Laurentia, who imposed heavy taxes on his people, used the money he collected to buy slaves for sacrifice, and sacrificed the people who couldn’t pay their taxes for the shortfall.

But then the people who rose up to overthrow the king plunged the Laurentian kingdom into civil war and the king was eventually captured.

We don’t know what kind of negotiations took place at this ti, but the king was not executed. The royal family was dismantled and the country shifted to a parliantary governnt of the people. However, the forr royal family was condemned to slavery and driven to the frontier, where they were ordered to cultivate the untad wilderness.

But the royal family didn’t just die out. The forr king started to make ands and set about cultivating the land. It was said that he worked hard, cultivated at an incredible rate, and contributed greatly to the productivity of the Laurentian Republic. Not only that, but he also did charitable work, such as running an orphanage and reemploynt for the injured and sick.

By the ti fifty years had passed, there were fewer people within the Laurentian Republic who spoke ill of the forr royal family. Then, by unanimous consent of Congress, they were freed from slavery. Well, it seems like there was a lot of political talk involved, but it’s not relevant here, so we’ll skip that. What’s important is that the Laurentians were truly converted and accepted within the Republic.The forr king and others were considered eminent persons by then.

However, there was a being who had not forgotten their sin. Naly, the gods.

Suddenly one day, divine punishnt was handed down to the Laurentian family.The charge was that he used a large number of people to summon an evil god. Everyones must have thought, “Why now?”

However, the forr king’s family, who were completely reford and even revered by the people, were tragically killed by divine punishnt. It was said that the only ones left were those who were of not direct descent or were from the branch family.This is the famous Laurentian tragedy of the Cro continent.

“Well, what this story shows us is how leisurely the gods are.”

“Leisurely?”

“The God who originally existed in eternal ti and us humans have different perceptions of ti, I guess. For us, it seems like the punishnt ca after 50 years. But to the gods, 50 years isn’t that much, I guess. If you do sothing really bad though, you might get punished in an instant.”

Well, it does make sense, sowhat. For example, if you compare a person to a bug, their perceived value of ti would be completely different. I guess the sa thing can be said of God and man.

“But then again, maybe Earthers just haven’t been punished yet?”

“Hahaha! It’s okay. After all, I checked directly with God’s apostle!”

“What? You’ve seen the apostle of God?”

“Yeah, I t him twice when he ca to tell his command. It’s no wonder when God commands them the Apostle will co down. I asked him if he was okay with ignoring him, and he said he was okay with it.”

“But why would he give you such a vague oracle that he doesn’t mind being ignored?”

“I don’t know. I don’t get it either………… The Apostle says it’s a personal thing, you know what I an?”

“What do you an?”

Asura tells his conjecture, based on what he heard from God’s apostle. Apparently, the gods will leave it at that if it’s so kind of incident. However, when evil people are involved, they’ll get involved.

It’s not sothing we absolutely have to fix, but if we can get our hands on it, let’s do it. Anyway that’s where the Divine Swordsman cos in. In addition to regularly monitoring them, it was easy for them to imdiately send down oracles through the Divine Sword. In other words, it seed that the idea was to use it as a surveillance tool as well as a communication tool.

“Well, as I said before, the gods are leisurely. Wouldn’t it have taken decades just to find soone near the place where the incident is likely to happen who could receive the oracle and solve the case and give the oracle? That’s why I thought I’d make a divine swordsman who can be contacted imdiately.”

It takes 50 years for God to punish you. If that’s the case, it might even take decades to make the oracle.

“This ti around, it seed like there was a dungeon involved. I figured I’d make a move.”

“Hey a, have you ever received an ordainnt, too?”

“An ordainnt? No, I haven’t. Perhaps I am not yet recognized as the true owner. Not from the sword, not from God.”

I see…He looked surprised to hear the story, so it bothered a bit.

Well, it seems like he still hasn’t been able to unleash the true power of the Divine Sword, so I guess that’s why.

(I will be there for you……)
