Episode 210
Over the course of two hours, they reached a compromise.
As I was watching their conversation from the side, I breathed a sigh of relief that the long ti was over.
Looking at Bane’s expression, it seed like the solution wasn’t too bad.
If done well, it was an opportunity to end that long, boring and dangerous war.
Of course, for that to happen, we have to fight a war on a scale that is incomparable to anything we have seen before.
‘I’m sure everyone has their own thoughts.’
Since this decision wasn’t mine, I didn’t really care.
Bane made the decision after receiving the final decision from the Marquis of Easton.
That decision cannot be undone, even by the Marquis of Easton.
“When are you going to start?”
“It’s difficult right now. “This is because it is the ti when the influence of the chieftain is most active.”
“Are you saying you need ti?”
“Yes.”
Bane folds his arms as he hears the great warrior’s words.
I thought it was urgent, but now I see that it wasn’t.
I can’t believe I need ti.
“Hmm…”
It wasn’t a bad thing.
Rather, it was to buy ti to prepare for war.
However, I was worried about whether Easton would accept this situation well.
The decision had already been made… but in a way, Easton’s fate was at stake.
While watching their conversation, a thought suddenly occurred to .
‘Why don’t you use the communication tool?’
I thought it would have been better to use a communication port.
Then, you can leave the decision to the Marquis of Easton without having to worry about this.
As they were watching them with that question in mind, Bane stood up.
He said he would return to Easton and report on the rest through a eting.
As he was about to leave, he asked the great warrior as if he had suddenly rembered Bane.
“What were you going to do if we said no?”
The great warrior smiled sinisterly at his question.
Then he raised his hand and pointed to the ground.
“You would have had to deal with every warrior that stepped on this land.”
That was enough.
Daejeonsa had no intention of letting us go gracefully if we refused.
If we had refused, he would have had all the barbarians, including himself, attack us.
‘Maybe we can call the chief.’
Since two masters appeared, it was possible that the chieftain would appear at the call of the great warrior.
No matter how high their power is, it will be difficult to fight against them.
“I see…”
Bane muttered quietly with an expression of understanding.
Having to deal with an entire group of barbarians was a burden even for Bane, the sword master.
“Then let’s go back.”
It wasn’t good to be here for too long.
And we must return to Easton as soon as possible and report this matter.
“That’s right. “I held on too long.”
The Great Master stands up from his seat. And they ca out of the hut together to see us off.
“Oh oh! A warrior! This ti, have a duel with !”
“No, it’s my turn now!”
“My car…!”
As soon as the barbarians gathered in the hut saw us, they shouted at each other for a duel.
Vane and Arjuna ignored them.
Before entering the hut, I had already fought a duel with them and had so idea of their strength.
If we continued to wage war with them, they were now our allies, but it was difficult to kill them.
Daejeonsa also knew this, so he took the lead and pushed the barbarians away without us saying anything.
“We will soon be fighting an honorable battle, so just let us go for today.”
The barbarians who were complaining at the words of the great warrior ekly retreated.
An opportunity to play big has been provided, so there is no reason to turn it down.
It was ti to leave the hut and start walking.
Puuuuuu – A horn sound was heard.
What are you talking about?
I looked at Daejeon Temple.
When I saw his face harden, I instinctively felt that sothing had happened.
“What is it?”
“Run! Just run straight that way. You must never stop! “Then it’s all over!”
Daejeonsa pushes our backs and I head towards the direction from which the horn was heard.
What’s going on?
Considering how urgent it seems, it is not a simple task at all.
There was no harm in listening to what he said, so we ran right away.
I ran at full speed while operating the Auror.
Then, on a hill a bit far from their territory, we looked back in the direction we had co from.
“Chief!”
Arjuna turned around after and growled, baring his teeth.
Her words sounded like the howl of an animal, and I narrowed my eyes and looked at one place.
Compared to other barbarians and Daejeonsa, they were not very large.
He was of similar size to .
However, the muscles inherent in that small body were strong.
Like a living creature, the muscles and angry veins trembled at the slightest movent.
Two axes made from red ore were tied to his waist.
It was an ax with a head so large that it would not have been strange for it to be dragged on the ground if it were not riding on the back of a wolf twice the size of an ox.
Unlike the passionate barbarians who always wanted to fight, his eyes were infinitely calm.
“Chief’s scroll…!”
I hurriedly covered Arjuna’s mouth as he glared at the man.
At the sa ti, he hid behind a tree.
I don’t know why I did that.
We were dozens of kiloters away.
No matter how good his hearing was, even if he was a master with a superhuman body, it was impossible to hear her voice from this distance.
But for so reason, I acted as my instincts guided .
He covered her mouth and imdiately hid himself.
Even after that, I couldn’t easily feel relieved.
While I was holding my breath due to so unknown tension, I saw Bane doing the sa thing as next to .
He raised his hand to signal for to be quiet.
What is this tension?
-Human keeps looking this way.
That curiosity was quickly answered by Hatchling’s explanation.
It is said that the chief is looking this way.
The barbarian chieftain is talking to the great warrior and says that he is looking exactly where we are.
He said he stood still for over 5 to 10 minutes, listening intently as if he could hear sothing.
I got goosebumps.
Being able to hear that sound from that far away is impossible even for , who prides myself on having sensitive senses.
As I was struggling with tension and chills, Bane exhaled loudly next to .
“Huh… I understand why that crazy great warrior wanted to borrow power from us.”
He made an unknown noise and relaxed his tense body.
I released Arjuna and wiped the sweat from my hands.
“This… is a problem that should not be taken lightly. “Even if it were , I couldn’t predict a match with that guy.”
He shook his head with an expression of disgust.
He had experience fighting wars with barbarians.
He muttered that when a barbarian becos a master, he becos a monster.
We walked slowly.
I asked him how far he had walked, sothing I had been wondering about since the hut.
“Why aren’t you using the communication port?”
“hmm?”
“If we used the communication sphere, wouldn’t Lord Bane have to make a decision?”
“Ah, is that what you ant? To conclude, it is difficult to use magic tools, including communication tools, in the realm of barbarians.”
“Why?”
I didn’t understand so I asked back.
In the barbarian territory, there was no barrier or any device to block magic.
An ordinary-looking land that can be seen anywhere.
However, there was no special treatnt on the leather they used for their huts.
“What you received prevents you from using magic tools. To be precise, it forcibly takes away the mana that went into the magic tool. And there are plenty of such things under their land.”
“Ah…”
Now that I think about it, the bloodstone had that function.
Taking away vitality. And since vitality and mana are closely related, just having a bloodstone nearby has an effect.
That’s why even if I tried to use the communication tool, I couldn’t use it.
The reason it didn’t affect as an auror user is because the amount of mana sucked is extrely small.
However, that amount alone is enough to have a significant impact on sensitive magic tools.
‘The Marquis of Easton didn’t give the decision for nothing.’
There was a reason why he was given decision-making power comparable to his own in case of ergency.
It was when I was nodding my head, understanding what he said.
“You said it well. I wanted to ask you. “For what reason did you receive that?”
Bane glares at .
The great priest did not tell how much bloodstone I received.
I just said I received it.
This was a sensitive issue. It wouldn’t be surprising to think that I had a secret relationship with them.
Since their main enemies were barbarians, receiving anything from them was no different from the act of a traitor.
Knowing that, I briefly explained to him what happened then.
He sighs after hearing what I said.
Then he asked.
Where did you put all those bloodstones?
I said I gave it to the elves without much hesitation.
Arjuna next to trembled at my words.
They were embarrassed that I ntioned the elves.
I glanced at him briefly and then continued.
“The reason I t the barbarians in the first place was to find out the main reason that made the World Tree like that. “I needed to investigate.”
“So you took the bloodstone from them and gave it to the elves?”
“yes. “They are the victims, so we need to figure out the cause.”
“….”
He looks at with his mouth pursed.
His eyes wavered slightly as he examined my face, as if trying to read my thoughts.
“Let’s go.”
He walked away without saying anything to .
understanding? That wasn’t it.
However, what is accurate is the face that says he will listen carefully later.
Now, no matter what questions you ask , I won’t tell you, and I can’t go back because it’s already happened.
“I don’t know if I did a good job bringing you here.”
I brought you here so that you can experience various things.
I never dread it would beco this big.
I should have co alone, but it’s too late to regret it.
Because ti has already passed.
***
It started snowing.
The sight of pure white snow covering the ground was certainly spectacular, but none of the people here were happy to see the snow.
At least the child looked into his eyes and sighed in frustration.
“Shit is falling from the sky.”
“When are you going to clean that up again?”
The soldiers sighed as they looked at the streets where snow was gradually piling up.
To their eyes, those white things only looked like trash that was annoying to clean up.
Garbage keeps piling up no matter how much you clean it up.
“why. “It’s charming and nice.”
When I handed them hot goat milk and spoke to them as they continued to sigh, they looked back at as if they were crazy.
‘It’s been a year since I’ve seen snow.’
When I was in Korea, I didn’t find it easy to see snow.
Due to bad weather or global warming, there were so areas where it did not snow.
I lived there too, so I felt a strange feeling when I saw it snowing.
‘It’s already been more than two months since I ca down to the south.’
It had been more than two months since we had been in the south, and the day of decisive battle with the barbarians was getting closer.
‘Oh, by the way, I thought they said they would co together during this supply.’
It was impossible in the land of barbarians, but it was possible to use communication tools here.
I asked for their understanding and contacted one person.
The ti has co to finally hear the answer.
“Raymond!”
As soon as I could think that, Bane called .
