Looking Forward to Another World

Mapros collar, Karudi.

In the center of this wealthy city known as the Iron Capital, there is an extremely luxurious manor.

The manor covers a large area, with many rockeries, gardens and even streams. It looks like a small resort.

And in the deepest part of this resort-like luxury manor, there is a mansion that is only slightly smaller than a palace.

This is the manor and mansion of the Hatit family. It is the residence of Karudi's manager, an extremely luxurious small territory.

For the people of Kaludi, this is the territory of the landowner and the home of a great nobleman who has a deep relationship with the lord of Mapros Territory. Anyone who sees it can only secretly say "offensive" in their hearts. Sorry.

But for such a family that no one else can offend, they received bad news today.

"What did you say?"

In a vast hall of the mansion, a middle-aged man sitting in the main seat suddenly stood up and exclaimed.

The middle-aged man was handsome, well-dressed, and his hair was neatly combed, giving the impression that even the strands of hair were clearly separated.

This person is the current head of the Hatit family, Count Liton Hatit of the Kingdom of Jinas.

However, at this moment, the landowner of Kaludi, Hatitiber, whose status was much higher than that of ordinary earls, actually looked frightened and angry.

no way.

"You said my son is dead? Ophelia is dead?" Liton stared at a messenger kneeling in the hall and shouted in shock and anger: "Nonsense! How is this possible...!?"

Liton's roar made the messenger tremble.

"This, this is the news just returned from the knight who was guarding the eldest young master." The messenger suppressed his fear and stammered: "We have confirmed it again and again, and even tried to use the magic crystal for communication to contact the eldest young master, but we can't. But I haven’t been able to wait for the eldest master’s contact for a long time.”

"Impossible...how is this possible..."

Liton couldn't believe all this, he was shocked, angry, angry and crazy.

"Didn't he travel with Master Nibald? How could he die?"

"The Lightning Sword Master is here, right? He has the strongest swordsman and the strongest magician working with him... How can he die just because he wants to...!?"

"Say! What on earth is going on...!?"

Litton was furious.

"Things, things are like this..."

The messenger faced Liton's red eyes as if he had lost his mind, bit the bullet, and told Liton all about the report he had just received from the knight.

Liton trembled when he learned that Ophrit was killed by Li Ge, and that he was beheaded in front of so many people.

"Bang!"

The next second, Liton slammed the table in front of him, breaking it into pieces.

This Count Hatit was obviously not a noble who only knew how to make money and enjoy himself, but a powerful swordsman.

There was also a sword hanging on his waist that was faintly emitting magic fluctuations, and his body released magic power like flames.

"Lege Brighaut...!"

Liton shouted angrily.

"How dare he? How dare he...!?"

Liton never thought that he just sent his son to Master Nibald to get closer to him, but that his son who was still greeting him here in the morning would be killed.

And the reason is actually because of a woman? A squire?

He, Lige Brighaut, actually killed my Liton Hatit's biological son for a retainer?

"Damn Lightning Sword Master! You are looking for death!"

Liton gasped, the anger and sadness in his heart almost forming a storm, overwhelming him.

"O-Master..."

Seeing Liton trembling all over, the ordering soldier was so angry that he spoke tremblingly.

"K-The knights also said that the Lightning Sword Master left a message for you."

Hearing this, Liton's red eyes turned to the messenger again.

"What did he say?"

Liton spoke in a low voice, like a wounded beast.

The messenger couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and after a while he said with great difficulty: "He asked you to give him an explanation, otherwise, he will come to Kaludi to get it in person."

Liton was silent.

The magic power around him became more turbulent, and the pressure released was as if it could crush everything around him, making the messenger look horrified.

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, a sword flashed and chopped off the head of the messenger.

Liton didn't know when he appeared in front of the messenger, staring at his headless corpse as if he was crazy.

"Good! Very good!"

Litton roared in the hall.

"You want to explain, don't you?"

"Okay! I'll give you an explanation!"

"With all the strength of my Hatiti family, I will definitely deliver this statement to you personally, Lige Brighaut——!"

Liton, who was so furious, knew that this time his opponent was definitely not something he could handle alone.

Although the other party is only a 17-year-old brat, a recently promoted Sword Master, but now, no one will despise this youngest Sword Master in history.

The opponent has already proven himself with his record in the royal capital.

The next generation sword master of the Borlei family, known as the number one sword master, was instantly killed by him.

He also set up a ring in front of Frazier's residence in the royal capital for a month, fighting thousands of games every day, and has not lost yet.

Among the swordsmen who were defeated by him, there were many regular swordsmen, and senior regular swordsmen like Liton appeared from time to time.

And they all failed, using themselves to prove that the strength of the newly promoted sword master was genuine and absolutely not false.

The moment the lightning flashed, it meant defeat—this reputation was so loud that even the Mapros Territory, which was located on the border of the Kingdom of Jinas, was like thunder.

Liton thought that his strength was not weak, even compared with the first sword master of the Borlei family, he was not much inferior. However, even the first sword master of the Borley family was killed instantly. Even if he comes to challenge him in person, the outcome will not be any better than that person's.

In this way......

"I can only let my brother-in-law take action."

Liton took out the magic crystal for communication.

In the past, whenever Liton needed help from his brother-in-law for something, he would always ask for help in a roundabout way.

Although his brother-in-law was strong, he was also overly strong. Even Liton felt a little guilty when facing him and did not dare to offend him casually.

Therefore, in the past, whenever something happened, Liton would contact his sister first and ask her sister to give his brother-in-law a pillow.

But this time, Litton couldn't wait any longer.

"Buzz!"

When the communication magic crystal in his hand shook and emitted a dazzling light, a faint wave of magic power also passed through the space at an astonishing speed and spread to the far distance.

Liton waited quietly until a voice came from the magic crystal in his hand.

"You actually contacted me yourself?"

This is a very calm, very thick, and quite domineering voice.

The owner of the voice is the current head of the Mapros family, the lord of the Mapros territory, one of the seven contemporary sword masters of the Jinas Kingdom, and is known as the Zhenguan Sword Master.

Such a strong and domineering figure has a rather gentle name——Raven Mapros.

"Brother-in-law!"

Liton's eyes suddenly turned red.

"Call me Lord Mapros." Raven said coldly: "I have told you so many times that you have to call me this no matter in public or in private."

This may sound unkind, but this is the principle in Raven's heart.

In his heart, he was first the Marquis of Mapros of the Jinas Kingdom, the lord of the Mapros Territory, the Zhenguan Sword Master guarding the border of the kingdom, and then Liton's brother-in-law.

The Hatiti family is still a vassal of the Mapros family, which means that Liton is still Raven's subordinate. Raven doesn't want to give people the impression that he will open a back door for his relatives, so he has been asking Liton repeatedly, no matter what. At all times, you must treat yourself as an object of allegiance.

Liton usually pays attention to this because he knows that it will make Raven feel unhappy.

But this time, he was no longer in such a mood.

"Brother-in-law!" Liton choked with red eyes: "Ophelia is dead!"

Raven fell silent for a moment.

After a while, Raven spoke again.

"What's going on? Tell me clearly!"

Under Raven's questioning, which seemed to have no fluctuation at all, Liton began to tell Raven the whole story.

He did not make any embellishments, nor did he add any exaggeration, but told Raven the pure facts.

In his opinion, Li Ge killed his son for a servant. This was an extremely outrageous thing, and there was no need to add any exaggeration.

Therefore, Liton tearfully told Raven the whole thing, and even told him about Li Ge's preparation to come to Kaludi to seek explanation from him.

"…………"

Raven didn't interrupt and just listened quietly. No matter how miserable Liton's voice was or how loud his cries were, he just listened calmly.

After Liton finished telling the whole story, Raven spoke calmly.

"What a lightning sword master. He killed my nephew for a servant. It seems that he really thought that he would not lose."

Although Raven didn't show any emotion, based on Liton's understanding of Raven, his brother-in-law must have been angry.

My brother-in-law is domineering and strong. Although he is not unreasonable, he is not like other nobles who will be hesitant due to various constraints.

Now, someone killed his nephew for a servant. Even if his nephew had evil intentions first, if he didn't show any signs, wouldn't it damage the name of the sword master?

Litton then began to add fuel to the fire.

"That guy just doesn't know how high things are. He thinks that he can despise everyone in the world by becoming a sword master at such a young age. He knows that Offelet is your brother-in-law's nephew, but he still dares to kill him. This clearly doesn't take you seriously. Here!"

These words still didn't seem to bring any emotional fluctuations to Raven.

"You said he was coming to Besare with Nibald, right?"

Raven just asked this question.

"Yes, Ofilit told me before that he was going to Besare."

Liton responded quickly.

"Okay." Raven said indifferently: "In that case, I will go and meet this Lightning Sword Master."

After saying that, Raven disconnected the communication, causing the communication magic crystal in Liton's hand to dim.

"Great!" Liton held the magic crystal for communication and said with joy and anger: "Now you are dead! Lige Brighaut!"

Just as Liton was roaring like this, a voice suddenly sounded in the hall.

"Not always."

The sudden sound suddenly woke up Liton, who was immersed in great joy and sorrow, and Liton was shocked on the spot.

"who……!?"

Liton grabbed the sword and turned his head hard to look at the source of the sound.

"it's me."

A swordsman with a face as stiff as a dead man appeared silently in the hall and in front of Liton.

It was Jack.

"It's you?"

Of course Litton knew about Jack.

This is the person who has been with his son in the past few years. It is impossible for Liton not to know him.

He even knew a little bit about some shady transactions going on between Offelite and Jack, and chose to condone it.

Therefore, Litton knew that Jack had a mysterious origin.

"What are you here for?" Liton gritted his teeth and said, "Aren't you with my son? Why are you still alive when my son is dead?"

This speech, which seemed to express anger, did not move Jack's face.

"In that situation, if I stayed there, I would definitely die." Jack said expressionlessly: "So, when the person I sent there died, I immediately retreated."

"...In other words, you are desperate to save my son?"

Liton released his murderous intent.

"Don't stare at me like that, Hattiebo." Jack seemed to have felt nothing, and still said expressionlessly: "Even if I had taken action at that time, Master Ophelia would have died, and the result would not have been Anything that changes.”

"Instead of worrying about things that cannot be changed, let's talk about how to deal with the Lightning Sword Master."

Hearing this, Liton narrowed his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"You also want to deal with Lige Brighaut?"

Liton restrained his murderous aura for the time being.

"That's right." Jack said coldly: "He has already learned some things about us from Master Offelite, and has also destroyed several of our precious samples. The people behind me judged that he might do something to us. What we have to do will have an impact, so we have decided to eradicate the Thunder Sword Master immediately if necessary."

"Do you have that level of strength?" Liton questioned: "Even a brat like that is still a genuine sword master, right?"

"This is our business." Jack said: "I just want to ask, do you want to cooperate?"

"What we want is very simple. If you tell me Hattie, it should be easy to come up with it, right?"

Hearing this, Liton gave Jack a cold look.

"good."

After a while, Liton agreed.

"We work together."

Jack nodded with satisfaction.

"Wise choice."
