Episode 1282. Wave
Battalion commander’s barracks.
The Marquis of Peron Carlyle, who was sitting in a chair, pointed to an empty chair opposite.
“Sit down.”
“yes.”
Viscount Krano Vanek, Batalion’s unit commander, carefully pulled out a chair and sat down.
“I heard from His Highness the Crown Prince. Are you from the Duchy of Latium?”
“yes.”
At Viscount Krano Vanek’s short reply, Marquis Carlisle of Peron smiled bitterly.
I can’t shake the feeling that Viscount Vanek is clumsy in human relations.
If you are a lower person, you have to put in so effort to overco the awkward atmosphere, but rather, it is because you are doing it.
‘How did a person like this catch the eyes of Her Highness?’
When I think of the crown prince living surrounded by great nobility, it is beyond surprising to the point of enigma.
“Since when did you get to know Her Highness the Crown Prince? Oh, there is no other aning. All the nobles around His Highness the Crown Prince know about it, but I’ve never seen you.”
“I was called by His Highness the Crown Prince two months ago.”
“Two months?”
The Marquis of Peron Carlyle looked at Viscount Banek with bewildered eyes.
However, Viscount Vanek only answered the questions and kept his mouth shut.
I’m not in the mood to answer until I ask.
Suddenly, the words of the prince, ‘Don’t get too close’, ca to mind.
‘No matter what, I need to know the basics.’
Information gathering and acquaintance are different.
Marquis Peron Carlisle, who thought he needed to know his opponent a little more, spoke again.
“What were you doing before that?”
“I mainly received requests from the Mage Tower.”
“Which Mage Tower?”
“It’s difficult to tell you anything related to the Magic Tower because we made an oath of confidentiality.”
“Does His Highness the Crown Prince know?”
“yes.”
“Hmm.”
The Marquis of Peron Carlisle looked at Viscount Banek with ambiguous eyes.
It is not new for a fallen noble to help the Mage Tower.
But entrusting excitium to an aristocrat with no roots to such an extent?
The prince’s choice was even more difficult to understand.
Seeing Viscount Vanek’s calm face as if it were soone else’s, he was slightly offended.
‘I guess it wasn’t sothing that a knight would be proud of to the extent of making an oath of secrecy with a wizard.’
Wizards will do anything to satisfy their intellectual curiosity.
If you cross the line, you beco a black magician, but it is not an exaggeration to say that even ordinary wizards build a wall with humanity.
How dare you call a wizard a snake?
If he even made an oath of secrecy with the wizard, he would have crossed the line a long ti ago.
The Marquis of Peron Carlyle, who had shaken off his interest in Viscount Vanek, rose from his seat after making a few requests.
Abyss.
Pioneering area Evrima plains.
Around noon.
A lion suddenly pounced on Tynlock as he was walking.
At that mont, Tynelock naturally drew out his longsword and swung it without hesitation.
grow-!
With a scream, the lion with a long cut on its side twisted its body as if it were going to attack again.
However, the lock was fast.
Rather, he strode closer to the lion and stabbed the body of the lion with his longsword.
Khuong-!
The lion went over to the side with a heavy scream.
The dead lion, perhaps stabbed in the heart, did not move any more.
Tynlock, who grabbed the longsword, walked back with a nonchalant face.
rdef glanced at the lion with a lingering face.
“Why but?”
“I wondered what it would be like if I took off my skin.”
“Do you have the strength to carry the hide?”
“Ah…”
At Tynelock’s point, rdef shook off his regret.
I didn’t even have a wagon, so I couldn’t carry a lion’s skin on my back.
“Do rcenaries take leather?”
“Of course not. I also eat at.”
“The at will be fine.”
Tinelock glanced behind him to see if he thought of the at belatedly.
But what is this?
Baron Howard Solon was clinging to him, slicing the at.
Looking at the atmosphere, it seed that Count Elio Lagoa had ordered it.
rdef and Tynelock did not move until Baron Solon finished the slaughter.
Lunch that day was grilled lion at and a stew made with lion at.
Nine people ate enough from the at from one lion.
People comnted that the fresh lion at was more delicious than the ingredients purchased from Tombstone.
“How was Lord Lagoa? Did it suit your taste?”
At Fabian’s question, Elio nodded calmly.
“Oh it was fine. It was chewy.”
“Shall we hunt so lions?”
“There is no ti for that. Let’s go while catching the things that attack us like before.”
“Do you have a lot of ingredients left?”
If food ingredients are lacking, they are ready to go on a lion hunt.
“Did you see that I was lacking in care?”
“no.”
“Don’t worry, you can live in Abyss for half a year.”
“ha! Even though Lord Lagoa is well prepared, the problem is that he is too good.”
Fabian couldn’t let go of his attachnt to lion hunting and blad Elio.
“If it wasn’t for my readiness, you would have starved to death right away. You can’t be thankful and you’re intellectual.”
“Of course, I am grateful, but please think about local procurent in the future. Did you enjoy the lion at? It’s because I eat the sa food every day, so I get bitten.”
“yea, I got it. You’re bitten, so I’ll take it out. Eat locally sourced.”
“no. I was full, so the words ca out in vain. Forgive .”
Fabian couldn’t stand it and imdiately lowered his head.
It’s ti for Elio and the others to organize their places to move again.
A group of people slowly approached from the left.
Seven wagons and thirty ard n and won. A group of dium-sized adventurers or rcenaries.
After a while, a carriage and about 30 n and won stopped in front of Elio and his group.
Soon after, the man and woman in the lead approached Elio’s group.
“hello?”
A man in his forties first talked to Elio and the others.
Fabian’s lips went up at the word “Hello”, not even a self-introduction.
Even if it wasn’t the Abyss, it was polite to introduce yourself first when approaching others in a place where safety wasn’t guaranteed.
Fabian responded by stepping in front of him.
“hello.”
The man in his forties laughed at Fabian’s imdiate reaction.
But that’s it.
Tito, a man in his 40s, had no intention of interacting with a group that was on the verge of bankruptcy.
“The number of monsters crossing Mount Petra has increased. It is a precursor to a full-fledged wave, so it would be better to evacuate to the east or go to Exodo as soon as possible.”
“thank you. But don’t you avoid it?”
Then Iluna, a woman in her twenties who had co with Tito, answered with a smile.
“Our rcenary corps ca out to the plains of Evrima for a while to catch monsters. I received a request to exterminate the monsters of Adria Kingdom.”
“Is there such a request?”
“Whoops, is this your first ti in Abyss?”
Fabian was a fine-looking knight, so he always drew the attention of the ladies.
So, unlike Tito, who turned around without regret, Illuna continued her conversation with Fabian.
“yes.”
“We will take the monsters that have gathered in the mines of the Adria Kingdom to the Evrima Plain…”
At that mont, Tito scolded her.
“Iluna, you talk a lot.”
“Ah…”
Belatedly, Iluna realized her mistake and kept her mouth shut.
Soon after, Tito and Iluna returned to their party.
Eventually, as the wagon and the rcenaries went away, Elio spoke to Fabian.
“You an the waves are pouring monsters?”
“Yes, it seems that a lot of monsters ca over to Mount Petra from the unexplored region. A group of them approached the mines of the Adria Kingdom, and it seems that the rcenary group lured them to the Evrima Plain.”
“What about the people on the plains of Evrimar?”
“I an catch it.”
“Is that okay?”
As Fabian hesitated to answer, rdef sneaked in.
“It would be a sha if anyone knew, but… the monsters would go through Mount Petra and advance to the plains of Evrima anyway. Everyone doesn’t care because the Everima Plain is the destination for demons.”
“Anyway, the rcenaries seem to think that I don’t have to die, right?”
“Everything is like that here. But there are so many adventurers and rcenaries… I catch pretty much anything.”
“If the number is small, you can’t catch them.”
“Such people flee to the east. From there, they organize a new eting and advance to the center again… and repeat it until they die.”
“They have a hard ti buying it.”
“Still, did you see the gold scattered all over the ground? It’s sothing you can’t even dream of in the outside world. I can’t go out because the opportunity to reverse my life is in the Abyss.”
“Those rcenaries will drop the monsters on the plains and return to Mount Petra?”
“I will.”
“amazing.”
Elio stuck his tongue out at the rcenaries’ hair.
When Elio didn’t ask for more, rdef and Tynelock took the lead again.
Elio, who had been walking silently, suddenly spoke to Luna Mylus.
“Sister, never use divine power.”
“huh?”
“Even if soone gets hurt while fighting monsters, you must never use divine power. Just apply so dicine and let it heal.”
“I will.”
“Even if I get hurt a little, just let it go. you’ll get better soon OK?”
“Yeah, I will definitely do that. don’t worry.”
Luna Mylus also had no intention of using it because she knew the side effects of divine power.
Right now, I’m trying to simplify even the things I think about.
For so reason, it seems that transcendental intelligence accelerates the union with the goddess.
She wanted to stay by Elio’s side until he found Ushas Undra.
Elio’s party continued to advance toward the northwest without changing direction.
In the process, he t many adventurers and rcenaries who fled.
He said it was a wave, and it seed that the entire plain of Evrima was swept away.
Most of the adventurers and rcenaries who fled to the east were in the minority, so they didn’t quarrel with Elio’s party.
Elio’s party was only nine, but the atmosphere they gave off was unique.
Tynelock’s gigantic size, the above-average Count Larva Omar’s wide-open body, and even the paladin Alt Hareb’s unapproachable prayers!
Looking at those three people, my heart, which had been heated by the beautiful won, cooled in an instant.
However, that only worked for adventurers and rcenaries whose forces were weak enough to escape.
“Stop!”
Three rough-looking n blocked the way of Elio’s group.
Elio and the others gathered in front of the three n one by one.
One of the n stiffened his chin and said.
“The wave has begun! This place is guarded by our Delicatalum rcenaries. Stay under our protection until you defeat the monster.”
As the man pretended to be an occupying force, Fabian took a step forward.
“What if we won’t be protected by your rcenary?”
“I will temporarily detain you for smooth extermination of monsters.”
“No, it’s not about fighting together in front of the wave, but detaining it? What bullshit is that? Do your rcenaries have the right to detain adventurers?”
Then the man showed his yellow teeth and grinned.
“right? Don’t you know that strength is law in Abyss? We will protect you, so you just need to be protected. There is no rejection.”
Along with the words, the man said, ‘Hwiik-!’ He whistled, and about forty rcenaries surrounded Elio and his party in a circle.
Fabian muttered with an absurd face.
“You want to protect us? Are you going to rob?”
Then the man said with an impudent face.
“If you obediently follow our instructions, we will protect you, but if you resist, we will sell you into slavery in the mines. choose Will you be protected? Will you be a slave?”
