Chapter 1285
Episode 1285. which one is your problem?
Forty-one Akerio mercenaries joined Elio’s party in a way of eating mustard while crying.
There were originally forty-four, so two died in the battle with the demons.
There have also been some changes to the formation.
Merdef and Tynelock, who had kept the lead so far, withdrew to this line.
The mercenary’s wagon was placed at the rear, saying dust would rise if it was in front.
Elio tried to use the mercenary’s wagon with the saintess, but soon gave up.
Of the seven mercenary wagons, three were broken and four remained.
Director Urrea slightly slowed down and matched her pace with Merdef.
“You said you were Merdef of the Falcon Mercenary Corps, right? Let’s ask something.”
“Say yes.”
“On the way to Exodo, they told me to find a new statue of Ushas Undra… I’ve never heard of a new statue. Where in the world is that?”
“I don’t know either. I’ve only heard rumors that I’ve seen them in pioneering areas.”
“Ah, did you make a big lap around the safe area?”
“That’s right.”
“I’ve never heard of a temple being excavated, but it’s a new statue. That’s great.”
“Only the Plain of Evrima and Mount Petra remain, so look carefully.”
“I don’t know if I have the mind to look for something like that because of the monsters.”
Captain Urea looked at the backs of the members with a bitter face.
I had no time to think about anything else when I went in the direction of Mount Petra, the passageway for demons.
It’s too much to go against the flow of the wave, but what’s new?
Honestly, his wish is to go all the way to EXO without any further sacrifices.
The mercenaries in the lead shouted as if they were mocking him.
“Ammut! Captain! Ammut is approaching!”
For a moment, Captain Urea’s face hardened.
This is because Ammut is a mid-level monster with the body of a lion and the head of a crocodile.
If you have more than 5 intermediate level monsters, you need to get help from the sword master.
‘damn! How many? Shouldn’t be more than five. No more than five!’
Captain Urea cried out inwardly and ran forward.
Fortunately, there were only three Ammuts.
The magic gun spewed fire first.
Pupperpuppung-!
Perhaps because of the distance, both shots missed and only two hits Ammut.
However, the two Ammuts hit by the magic bullets rather accelerated and rushed.
Puff! Puff!
The musketeers focused their fire on one ammit that reached right in front of them.
Ammut staggered only after being hit by four magic bullets.
One after another, two Ammuts attacked the mercenaries.
“Cheung!”
As if waiting, Urea and another sword expert stopped Ammut.
Meanwhile, the other mercenaries slaughtered the staggering Ammit.
After that, the mercenaries helped the sword experts and killed the remaining Ammuts one by one.
“Whew!”
Captain Urea closed the longsword with a long sigh.
It’s good that no one was hurt.
If there were only one or two more Ammuts, there would have been more casualties.
Someone screamed as some mercenaries skinned Ammut.
“Therawolves are coming!”
Captain Urea let out a low sigh without even realizing it.
Still, I wasn’t as surprised as I was at Ammut.
It was because Terra Wolf was a low-level monster, so it was easy to deal with with the fighting power of the Acherio Mercenary Corps.
However, that feeling disappeared the moment I looked up and saw the meadow.
“Crazy….”
The terawolf, which resembled a hyena but was as big as a lion, was coming towards them.
At first glance, it seemed like thirty.
Of course, it was not a number that the Acherio mercenaries could not handle, but there would be casualties
.
Captain Urea shouted at Elio and the others.
“Help me!”
Then, the eyes of the people who followed all at once turned to Elio.
“Receive Fabian Howard’s guest.”
Then Baron Fabian Howard Solon, as well as Tynelock and Crea, ran forward.
Eventually, Terra Wolf attacked the Acherio mercenaries like a wave.
Count Larva Omar, who was staring straight ahead, said.
“Four people alone will not be enough.”
“Please help Fabian and Howard when they feel like their practical experience is enough.”
“yes.”
Earl of Larva Omar watched closely the movements of Fabian and Baron Howard Solon.
The skills of the two were similar.
Being in your mid-twenties and already at the end of a sword beginner is an incredible achievement.
Judging from the growth momentum of the two, sooner or later they will enter the sword expert.
‘If I do well, a sword master in his thirties might come out.’
Most swordsmen reach the level of sword master only in their sixties.
The swordsmen of the Grand Duke of Knauf also became sword masters in their fifties.
It is an achievement achieved only with the ‘small heavenly circuit’ without the vision of a master swordsman.
‘If only I had known a little earlier…’
If so, wouldn’t he have been able to dream of becoming a grand master?
Count Larva Omar, who continued his imagination, slowly pulled out his longsword.
This is because to become a grand master, you must constantly wield your sword.
He purely carried his sword and rushed forward like a gale.
Elio tilted his head at his earlier-than-expected action.
“huh? I think we can watch it a little longer…”
“I don’t know why? You don’t use mana blades.”
A smile appeared on Luna Mylus’ face.
“Ah, are you saying you’re going to join Fabian and Howard’s training?”
“Because the heart never ages.”
“I guess you dream of becoming a grand master?”
“With you by my side, it’s not an impossible dream.”
“is it? How does your sister look? Do you think it’s possible?”
“I don’t know if it’s possible or impossible… but one thing is for sure. That you can’t reach your goal unless someone starts.”
“That’s right.”
Elio stared at Count Larva Ovar.
He fluttered his white beard and ran like a lion leaping into a flock of sheep.
As the resistance of the humans intensified, the Terrawolves’ momentum quickly waned.
When half of the 15 Terrawolves fell, the Terrawolves rolled their tails and ran away.
The mercenaries did not pursue the fleeing Terrawolves and lay down on the meadow for a long time.
Count Larva Omar and Fabian Howard also returned to their places.
After a while, the mercenaries skinned the terrawolf and pulled out its teeth, an ingredient for alchemy.
When the mercenaries were busy working, Elio called the leader of Urea.
“Captain, let’s ask something.”
After deciding to receive protection money, Captain Urea’s treatment improved a little.
As evidence of that, Elio did not treat him any more.
“Yes, please.”
“Isn’t the mine more profitable if it’s at the level of the Akerio mercenaries?”
“Mine jobs are not easy to find. We didn’t find a place we liked either, so we came to the plains of Evrima.”
“Then, do you know a little about the plains of Evrimar?”
“I know as much as everyone else.”
“How wide is it?”
“We have been going eastward out of curiosity.”
“All month?”
“It was not a month, but about 15 days, and the end was not forthcoming, so I came back. Few people have been there for a month. People get violent… They fight over even the smallest things and get into a frenzy.”
“aha. I guess there are still people who have been there. A lot of people don’t listen.”
“Of course it is. After more than a month, the night begins. I can’t see anything, so most of them turn around there.”
“You mean the sun doesn’t rise?”
“yes.”
“That is so strange. What kind of place is that?”
As Elio muttered, Fabian spoke.
“Isn’t that normal since the Abyss is under the ground? It is more strange that I have day and night.”
“uh? Is that so? Why does the sun rise when it is under the ground?”
No one answered that question.
Elio inadvertently looked at Luna Mylus, but then looked away.
In any case, he avoided using transcendental knowledge to speed up his union with the goddess.
Luna Mylus felt the same way and did not dare to delve into the mystery of the Abyss.
Fortunately, there have been no attacks by monsters since Terra Wolf.
When evening came, Elio took out the tent and bedding from Mahadam (space storage).
Akerio’s mercenaries glanced at Elio with curious eyes.
I thought it was like a magic swordsman, but I thought it was possible even in subspace!
After dinner, Elio taught Fabian and Howard in swordsmanship.
At that time, Luna Mylus also summoned Crea separately and taught her swordsmanship.
Naturally, only Tynelock and Paladin Almet Hareb were left in the camp.
As Tynlock lit a bonfire, Almet Hareb squatted across from him.
The atmosphere was quiet as the two people who were already unsociable sat face to face.
Almet Hareb asked when Tinelock made a bitter expression.
“What are you worried about?”
Still, being a paladin, he couldn’t just pass by Tynelock’s expression.
“Is there anyone who is not worried?”
Tynelock, who is far from being sociable, asked harshly.
Almet Hareb laughed as he stood up from the thorns like a porcupine.
“There are ‘problems I can solve’ and ‘problems I cannot solve’. Which one is your problem?”
When the paladin showed interest, Tynlock slightly raised his head.
“It’s a problem I can’t solve.”
“Then do you have someone by your side to solve your problems? Don’t you?”
“Yes.”
“Did he refuse?”
“no. You didn’t even say a word.”
“Are you afraid of being rejected?”
“….”
Tynelock didn’t answer, but Almet Hareb nodded.
“Your concerns seem very small. If it was a life-and-death matter, I would cling to the other person even if I was rejected.”
“….”
“Why are you worrying about a problem smaller than your pride?”
“Looking back, you are right. I won’t worry about it any longer.”
‘I won’t worry about it,’ said Almet Hareb, who also kept his mouth shut.
Another awkward silence fell between the two.
Tinelock let go of his desire to become stronger and regained peace of mind.
Maybe an hour passed?
The saintess and Crea, who had been quietly away, returned to the campsite.
A light sigh flowed from Tynlock’s mouth – while he wasn’t aware of it.
Crea came to the campfire and chattered.
Every time that happened, Tine Lock’s pupils lost their light and sank heavily.
After a while, Fabian and Baron Howard Solon, who had disappeared with Elio, joined the bonfire.
As young people in their prime gathered together, the conversation became more lively.
As soon as it reached the point where it became noisy because it was lively, Almet Hareb quietly stood up.
However, Tinelock kept his seat without interfering with the young people’s conversation.
Fabian suddenly spoke.
“We all learned the swordsmanship of ‘rock road manor [石徑莊]’, so we can say that we are the same family. So how about being friendly?”
Howard nodded vigorously.
It’s because he’s a hundred times better than what he looks like as Elio’s servant.
“I am in favor. How are you, Crea?”
“I like it too. however… What do you want to do specifically? I still think we’re close… but is it just me?”
Fabian waved his hand in an exaggerated gesture.
“That’s not enough. In Lord Lagoa’s hometown, it is said that if you learn the same swordsmanship, you become brothers and sisters. Why don’t we do the same?”
Baron Howard Solon did not refuse.
This is because Baron Cloud’s title was the same as his own, and he was a lover with Crea.
Crea was embarrassed but agreed.
As a commoner, she had no reason to refuse, so maybe it was natural.
Tynelock, who watched the relationship between the three change, left lonely.
