Episode 637 The Egoist (2)
All troops of the Leven Mercenary Corps have withdrawn.
In line with that, the raindrops that had been pouring as if there were holes in the sky also gradually dwindled and then completely stopped.
Even though the sky was clear, my heart was not at ease.
The damage was unbelievably great.
More than half of the goblins were killed, leaving only female goblins and young goblins in the principality that needed manpower.
“It’s a big deal.”
Ray recognized the danger facing the estate at once.
If there is a shortage of manpower, it is difficult to find food to eat right away, and even the repair of the walls becomes impossible.
Also, since you don’t know when they will attack, this is a very important thing from the point of view of having to be prepared.
He turned his head and looked at his son-in-law.
The fertile soil turned into a sea of water, and a dreadful landscape unfolded due to the thick scent of blood that made one’s head dizzy.
It was difficult to say that the situation was not bad even with empty words.
When you’ve been groaning for a while.
Shaking off his hands, Sunbok with a refreshing face approached.
– Did you even chew your shit? Your complexion is not good.
It is a very savory expression for the subject of the highest level spirit.
Ray shook his head.
“The situation is not good. At this rate, I have no choice but to depend on Harpman.”
– You mean that pig? How are you? Wouldn’t that be enough if you could live with it?
Soonbok shrugged and said.
“We can’t depend on the upper ranks forever. It is meaningless if you cannot stand up for yourself when a crisis hits.”
someday.
Even if it is far off, the moment when the goblins will stand on their own will surely come.
At that time, I couldn’t pass it up like now, can I?
In the end, the brave goblins of today would become lazy if they only looked for the easy way whenever they were in danger.
Creatures that do not move are weeded out.
Did you notice that introspection?
Soonbok cautiously expressed his opinion.
– Why don’t you teach me how to hunt and clear the land from now on? Fairly simple words.
It was an opinion that even a three-year-old could have come up with, but for Ray, who was only thinking deeply, it was indeed a change of thinking.
“That’s it!”
Ray burst into exclamation and held Soonbok’s hand tightly.
Soonbok blushed and twisted his body.
– Oh! Don’t do this!
“Crazy.”
Rai threw his hand away in a hurry and fell into thought again.
‘If it’s a way to clear the land… there’s a trick.’
It was just an idea until now.
It’s something I’ve been thinking about ever since Iriel existed.
What would happen if a potion that maximizes life recovery was used to grow crops?
When the idea was put to the test, the answer was immediately apparent.
Compared to using it on humans, the potion was significantly less effective when used on crops.
This is because the restoration ability of plants is lower than that of humans, and so far, potions have been made to suit ‘humans’.
But what if you change the potion according to the ‘plant’?
If that were possible, it would probably be able to inflate crop cultivation several times.
‘Even if I can’t eat it, it’s okay. I have no choice but to make it.’
Once the thoughts were organized, they quickly led to action.
Unlike before, Ray, who became quicker, moved straight ahead.
– Brother, where are you going?
Soonbok suddenly chased Ray, who was running through the trees like a mad cow.
After running for some time, we arrived at a large, familiar vacant lot.
A huge tree was sitting in the shade, and in the middle of it was a sandal with only its face sticking out.
But for some reason, only the back of his head is swollen to the size of an apple.
without even clearing up the question.
Ray approached him, squatted down, and then grabbed Sandal by the neck and pulled it up as if pulling a radish.
Soonbok, who was looking at the scene, unknowingly exclaimed in admiration.
– What a rich year.
Extreme pain that came in an instant.
Sandal, who thought he would be decapitated alive, opened his bloodshot eyes.
“Quaaaaagh!”
“How long are you thinking? Wake up.”
It can’t be a really radical alarm clock.
Sandal, who thought his spine would be pulled out, grabbed my neck.
After looking around for a while to grasp the situation, he soon forgot the pain and collapsed into his seat.
“…Kill him.”
– What a madman.
You want me to kill you in front of an idiot who picks people up off the ground like radishes.
Soonbok had no doubt that Ray would pull out Sandal’s spine and boil and eat gomtang.
His one-on-one reaction was something he had never experienced before.
Ray spoke softly in a cold but friendly tone.
“Have you been held hostage by the Demonic Cult? If they are, they are the ones who deserve it. They are cowardly guys who threaten to kill hostages if they carelessly open their mouths.”
Ray, who had a good understanding of the ecology of the black room, slowly opened it.
He said he couldn’t be full on the first drink, but Sandal gave him a bite.
At the word ‘hostage’, his innocent eyes fluttered once.
‘That’s the correct answer.’
His name is Sandal.
It was apparently the name given to him by his brother.
If so, the hostage taken by the black room here could be seen as a younger brother.
As if tying a spider’s web, Ray slowly looked at Sandal’s reaction and continued.
“I could find out what happened to my younger brother who was captured. Of course, we can rescue them if possible.”
Even Sandal, who had kept his faith and kept his mouth shut, responded clearly to his words.
“Is that… Really?”
The fish bites the bait.
Now all that remains is to rely on the taste of your hand and pull it.
He puts his hand in his bosom, pulls out a small bottle and shakes it.
“It is a sachet of vision that comes down to the Assassins. It is said that once buried, the scent lasts for ten years. If you like, you can come and visit us today.”
“…”
Silence ensued.
A myriad of thoughts will come and go.
He would be like that, because the decision he made recently would bring about the life and death of his younger brother and himself.
how many minutes passed
Sandal’s entire body was covered in sweat from how nervous he was.
Then he broke the silence and said.
“…show me the proof.”
“evidence?”
“exactly. How can I believe your words, casually burying people in the ground?”
“I don’t lie very well. Even if I do, I do it while choosing people.”
speaking
Ray looked straight into Sandal’s eyes.
“Don’t you know if I’m lying just by watching the conversation? Or are you so scared you can’t even tell that much?”
Sheer provocation.
It was also to find out Sandal’s hidden personality, but it was also an act to imprint faith in himself.
Those who believe only when they show evidence do not go far.
In the end, the most important thing is an ally you can trust without any evidence.
It’s crazy, but there are a few people who can do it.
Sandal, he thought, was that kind of person.
just as expected.
Sandal, who was looking at me without avoiding it, shuts her mouth again.
Those innocent but firm eyes never wavered like before.
In the end, Sandal lowered her head.
“Excuse me. Please save my brother. If so, I will treat you as a benefactor.”
Opponent backs off first.
Now, it was his turn to take a step back.
Ray pointed to Submission and said.
“I’ll find you soon and take you there, so wait with this guy in the duchy.”
At that, Soonbok made an openly disgusted expression.
– Are you a guide now? Brother, no matter what, I don’t want to be with a stinky guy like this!
“Soonbok is in a stormy period these days.”
Horses have thorns.
Soonbok couldn’t even find a match and rolled up his tail.
– However, spirits must never lose their original intentions. I will devote myself diligently by reviving the memory of the beginner spirits.
Even if he is a candidate for the King of Spirits, the reality is that his fists are more scary than the law.
Sandal, who was watching the scene, hesitated for a moment before asking a question.
“…I am the one who tried to harm your territory. What do you believe in such a person and bring him into the city?”
Ray, who was about to leave, stopped abruptly.
He didn’t think for a moment before spitting out the words.
“Just a feeling.”
“Gagam?”
“I believe that he is a trustworthy guy with a good heart. No matter what I say, my senses have never been wrong.”
“under. ha ha ha.”
I laugh because I’m not dumbfounded.
Is it just because of that that he is making such a mess?
To Sandal, this sounded absurd, but to Sunbok, it was a very reasonable thing to say.
‘Because he’s a guy who simply uses his senses to find the branch of the Black Room and break it down.’
How well your intuition fits.
He is a terrible guy who will eventually find the hidden branch of the black room if he doubts it once.
Even Subok, who was by his side, had no idea how to find them, who were made up of point organizations.
To that extent, Ray’s intuition had a strangely sharp corner.
Do you feel that you have been answered?
Ray kicked the ground without saying anything.
Time is running out to make potions and clear the land.
On top of that, he told Hafman to put a lot of pressure on Celia, so news will come sooner or later.
The icing on the cake is if rumors about the magic tools handed over to Heron Kingdom spread to nearby kingdoms.
‘I hope that results come out as much as I am busy.’
All to prepare for the black room.
They, who were active only in the dark, are slowly stepping up to the light, so the momentum is unusual.
You may need to work ahead of schedule.
For that to happen, the principality had to grow.
The starting point for everything.
In the past, they would use this place as a base to move.
Thinking about the future, Ray’s new model gradually accelerated.
The destination was where the receiver was.
