# SWORDMAN # EMPRESS # LOVEY-DOVEY
Lin Ran was transmigrated to a fantasy world and was the top scorer during the martial arts exam.
He was assigned to protect the empress, but because he did not give presents to the general director in charge of the palace affairs, he was demoted to a guard at Mount Sword.
His only job was to clean the swords stored on the mountain.
[You have cleaned the broken sword, Fire Stream. You have been rewarded with 50% proficiency of the Heaven Fire Sword Will.]
[You have cleaned the heavy sword, Dragon Elephant. You have been rewarded with the inner energy of the Dragon and Elephant Divine Art.]
[You have cleaned the demon sword, Dark Wind. You have been rewarded with the Grade 9 method, Phantom Step.]
[You have cleaned the spirit sword, Heaven’s Chance. You have been rewarded with the Eyes that Peek into Heaven.]

Lin Ran had no choice but to descend from the mountain.

Not only were the garrison cities close to the border, but it was also uninhabited.

On the surface, apart from the Heavenly Saint Dynasty retreating 300 miles away from the northern border, the Great Yong Dynasty did not seem to have obtained any advantage.

The Real Motive
