The way to the Shile Spirit Tower.
I don’t know much about this place, but it seed to be a fairly famous place for people living in this world.
“Are you going there? Hmmm, I don’t know why you made that choice.”
“If you have to die, I won’t stop you. There are many ceteries, so just pick one.”
“Hee! Are you cursed! Get out of here!”
Why does everyone I et react badly? I am following the map, but there are places where the terrain has changed due to monsters, and there are so areas that are lacking because the surveying thod has not been properly developed in the first place.
Although I have no choice but to ask passers-by on the way for directions.
“It is not easy.”
“To that.”
Everyone was frightened or ridiculed and kept their distance, but didn’t tell anything worthwhile.
Where I am currently is a small city. I can’t say it’s huge, but everything is there.
Leaning against the wall of a deserted alley, he unfolded a map.
‘Based on this territory, the Principality of Asakan, which is said to have been eaten by demons, is in the north, right next to the place where the Spirit Tower is located.’
So did it work? From the circumstances, there is a high possibility that demons or black magicians are gathered in the Spirit Tower. It would be convenient to eat the nearby principality.
Even if he’s a black magician, he’s not a human at all. There is a big difference between having infrastructure and not having it.
The place where the Spirit Tower is located is a place that was used as a huge cetery in the past. There are also Necromancers among the black magicians, so it must be a place you don’t want to give up.
As it is a place inhabited by all kinds of spirits, there is a lot of negative energy, so it will be easy to open the door to the demon realm.
in other words.
“A strategic point that must be occupied.”
It is an important point that the group of warlocks cannot give up. Even the hero knows that, so he must cling to it tenaciously.
Of course, there are many bases for them other than here, but I don’t know where they are, so it was right to deal with them first.
If there’s one thing that gets in the way…
“Why are they so quiet? If it were , I think I would start eating here.”
If you plan to work around the Spirit Tower, it’s better to eat the territory here as well. There was no need to leave this place right next to the yard where the principality also ate.
It was worth taking it even if it was a little overbearing because there would be more escape routes when there was a problem later and the role as a base for the demons would increase.
The kingdom didn’t know that, so troops are gathering here. If this area is eaten, it will be a big blow to the kingdom.
‘Did they say it was the Kingdom of Markdal?’
This is the na of the kingdom I have been active in so far. It’s a country of moderate scale, not a weak kingdom, though it’s a strong country.
However, due to the close distance to the empire, it was not very energetic, but in a situation where destruction was accelerating, that part worked rather positively.
A breakwater that can block external forces before they invade the empire. Because that was the role of the Magdal Kingdom from the point of view of the Empire.
It might be a humiliating treatnt, but it wasn’t too bad since the kingdom could also receive support from the empire.
Maybe the warlocks and the demons are wary of the kingdom and the empire, so they don’t touch it.
Instead, they will try to swallow it slowly but surely. Like the demons in the past, they approached the lord and played tricks.
That’s it.
“Let check your ID for a mont.”
“Hmm, I need to take a look inside the backpack.”
Troops sent by the Empire and Kingdom are checking the identity and luggage of passers-by.
It seems that the troops were sent in connection with the Spirit Tower.
‘I’m glad Philip gave an ID card.’
I would have been in trouble if I hadn’t. The timing to put the map in and get out of the alley.
“Hey, are you a stranger?”
Soone called from inside the alley. I knew from a while ago that I was fooling around.
It seems like he concealed his presence, but it’s not enough to fool my senses.
shabby row. He was wrapped in rags that were no different from rags, and only his eyes twinkled over his scruffy face.
“You’d better not go out. Because strangers are not welco. co this way I know a good way.”
It’s a subtle feeling to be called a back alley thug.
Did you co to out of pure kindness? Well, I feel that strangers in this world are the target of vigilance.
To that guy, I am a stranger, a complete stranger.
I would have been in a worse environnt than those walking around outside, but I don’t think I could afford to help others.
I have an identity card, so it doesn’t matter if the soldiers check . I don’t think they called because they thought they were going to eat their backs.
When dealing with thugs is annoying, so I just tried to ignore them.
“Are you going to the Spirit Tower?”
The guy put the spirit tower in his mouth and I had no choice but to stop.
“Everyone knows that the atmosphere here is bad. At this ti, there are few reasons for people from outside to co. A rcenary who ca in just in case, or a person who has business with the Spirit Tower. okay.”
The boy twists his mouth and laughs.
“To be precise, it must be because of the new ghost town.”
“What is it?”
“As you can see, I am just a common tramp. I need so money.”
The guy who introduced himself as a bum rubs his fingertips.
“From my point of view, you are not a rcenary. They have their own rough feeling. Cheeky and rude.”
“I have eyes to see. Because I’m a bit calm and polite.”
“…whatever it is.”
It’s true. I’ve been living my life in a gentle way.
Deokchun, who was on my shoulder, looked up and down with a salty expression, but I ignored it.
good night. He’s a suspicious guy, but he seems to know sothing, so I’ll hang out with him for a while.
I nodded my chin to take the lead, and the guy made a puzzled expression and then turned around and walked away.
I followed and looked around. It’s a city, but it’s not like it was made deliberately.
If you are not a native, it will be difficult to find your way. Especially in an alley like this, you don’t know if anyone dies.
“What is your na?”
“Can I call you Shile?”
“It’s called Evil Eye.”
The conversation continued with a light voice.
I have a few questions.
“Does anyone want to go to a ghost town?”
“Most of it is frozen. Although there are more people who want to go to the Spirit Tower while waiting for the hero to arrive.”
“You said I was going to a ghost town.”
Of course, I’m going to the Spirit Tower too.
The rcenary group I t in the last town also tried to go to the ghost town. It seed like it was moving very secretly, but it was sothing that everyone knew about.
Hey, they said they heard rumors too.
Shile glances at .
“I told you. You don’t look like a rcenary. That’s the only place outsiders who aren’t rcenaries will go.”
“no. I’m not saying that. What I’m curious about.”
I walked closer to the guy.
“Why are you so sure I’m not a rcenary?”
“…I just floated it. If you were a rcenary, you wouldn’t have shown much interest.”
is that even weirder?
The front and back don’t match. Didn’t you say it with your own mouth? rcenaries are rude, so what? If I had been a real rcenary, would I have felt bad?
If he was a rcenary with a bad personality, his fist would have co out as soon as he said that.
There must be many possibilities, but one thing is for sure.
– Quaang!
I grabbed his head and pushed him against the wall.
He grabbed my arm with a scream, but couldn’t push away with force.
“You know about ?”
otherwise there is no explanation
Soone who knows I’m not a rcenary and who knows I’m going to a ghost town.
Who is it? No one can guess. That’s because I haven’t been here in a while.
It is a world where the ans of communication are not suitable. Even if the rumors were spread by the Groffin rcenaries, there was no way the information had already spread to this place.
‘It makes no sense no matter how the information spread.’
Even if the story is the sa, recognizing exactly is another thing. Recognize by impression?
If you’re wearing a fall line set, you can. How many people wear rainbow-colored armor?
clothes? It’s been a long ti since I moved here and changed. That is, I recognized it by looking at the face.
“A demon or a warlock?”
I don’t want to hear an answer. Just to see how he turns out.
He asked a question and imdiately used his authority.
[Shale]
– Neutral NPC.
-It belongs to the collapsed magic tower.
“ah.”
was able to identify
Sohow, for a vagabond, he said his eyes were alive. Was he a wizard belonging to the collapsed mage tower?
Co to think of it, when he approached , it seems like he was using a magic that erased his presence. It wasn’t sothing a normal person would do.
He looks weak, but how did he walk around the alleys alone?
“Wait a minute! Say sothing!”
-Kududeuk
Of course, just because you realized your identity doesn’t an you’re off guard.
I know that the collapsed magic tower is hostile to the demons. That’s a good thing, but what does that have to do with digging behind ?
I added strength to the hand holding the guy’s head. It looked like he was trying to use magic, but he was interrupted by a burst of mana.
What I learned from watching the last fight between Baisa and the demons. Looking at it, the sword the demons were using cut off mana.
“You will have to answer well from now on. If you do nonsense, the back of your head will cool.”
Seriously. Right now I’m overpowering it, but the wizards in this world don’t use skills. It ans that you never know when and how to reverse the situation.
It was better to use one’s hands, even if it was excessive, rather than reacting complacently and then being punished.
Perhaps feeling my strong will, Shile gave up trying to use magic and raised both hands.
“I was sent from the collapsed mage tower. I had no other intentions.”
“How can you believe that?”
I knew through my authority that he was from the collapsed Mage Tower, but I deliberately pretended not to know.
People tend to be more honest when they are cornered and when they have to prove their innocence.
Whatever the reason, hiding your identity from doesn’t change.
“You know Baisa, right? He told to approach.”
I narrowed my eyebrows. Bysara Then you understand.
It wasn’t intended, but it wasn’t that we fought together. I don’t know the details, but it seed that the rank was sowhat high.
I saw my na and face, so it’s not strange to know a clearer impression.
The only problem is that I don’t know why he sent soone to .
‘Is it because of the black magician?’
The collapsed magic tower hates warlocks and demons, so it has its own justification.
It’s fine up to this point.
“Tell how you knew my destination.”
this part takes My destination was decided while catching the Groffin rcenaries.
Even Baissa couldn’t figure this out. A question that turns around and arrives again.
It’s the collapsed magic tower and Nabal, and I can’t trust them if I don’t say this clearly.
I’ve been waiting for Shile’s answer.
“Because you are a warrior! Of course, I’m heading to the Spirit Tower! In Baisa-sama’s territory, this is the closest, and it’s only natural to stop by the ghost town that suddenly appeared!”
“uh?”
A sudden brain freeze ca and made strange noises.
Maybe he thought he was surprised to find out the truth, but he raised his voice and continued talking.
“We already figured out that the rumored hero is a fake. Aren’t they the starting squad? Trying to send them to the Spirit Tower first. That ans that you, a true warrior, value ghost towns more than ghost towers. It was a great trick.”
what kind of bullshit is this
Even if he misunderstood sothing, he seed to have made it clear, but before I could point out the fact, Shile raised the corners of his mouth faintly and looked at .
“Are you surprised? Do not panic. Because we just want to get rid of the demons. How is it? Do you want to talk to now?”
Looking at the confident eyes, I wiped my face.
