Chapter.6 In the Name of Glory (20)
***
Normally, when people start to see their goal in front of them, even if they run at full speed, they do not have any effort.
In my head, I thought, ‘Maybe…. is it really a clear angle?’ As soon as I thought about it, the fatigue accumulated from dealing with the warlock seemed to melt away like snow.
‘This is not the time to be like this. We must reach the queen’s nest as quickly as possible before additional troops are produced!’
The professor wrapped the completed report and tied it with string, then called in four 2nd and 3rd rank wizards who were wandering around and handed it to them.
“Wizard. “Do you remember how to get here?”
“Yes? “Because we just followed the road without any major breaks?”
“Then, I want you to take this report straight back this way and deliver it to the headquarters of the Gwangmyeong Church in Kingsland.”
The wizards looked angry at the professor’s remarks.
“Are you saying that we should stop going back?”
“No, look! What does that mean! “In a situation where one person is missing, they actually reduce the number!”
“Otman, old man. Let’s not do this. To be honest, didn’t everyone know by now that taking second-tier wizards like this would cause more harm than good?”
“Hmm…”
The two second-tier wizards lowered their heads in anger at my words, but what can I do when it’s still true? To be honest, other than bringing up some water from the entrance, the 23rd rank wizards did very little. No, in fact, Otman put in more effort to spread the spell to match the level of those two, so it could actually be a minus. Even though I saved mana, if it was a really urgent situation, I wouldn’t have used magic in that way.
After becoming such a stumbling block, as soon as I entered the village, I started to spit out cruel scenes and then retired. Thanks to this, Notum, who has the ability to tank up to 10 medium-sized undead such as undead trolls by himself, was left behind. Considering the special nature of the hero unit, it was placed in a safer location, but if there were no wizards left behind, they would have gone together. If he had been there, it would have been much easier to deal with Ulman.
When I calmly explained the basics, the faces of the wizards, who had been furious and angry, turned red with shame and calmed down. Because being correct with facts is the most painful thing in the world.
“We are only just entering the enemy lines. The opponent was said to be strong, but he was a warlock. In the future, the situation will become more urgent with no time to catch your breath, and I am not confident that I can take care of your lives in the meantime. Go back. I guarantee that if you continue like this, Otman Wizard will die protecting you.”
Of course, level 3 would be enough to protect my body. However, from here, it is truly in the middle of enemy territory, so it will be difficult to operate a carriage or something like that. A team’s combat power does not always lead to operational success. If discarding those four people allows for covert maneuver, it would be better to discard them.
“…Phew. All right. As the warrior said, we will separate from here and go to the church…”
“Oh, wait a minute.”
Crunch Crunch –
The professor quickly scribbled something on a piece of paper and put it in the wizard’s pocket.
“Although it is F-class, it will be useful as it is a letter of recommendation from an officially registered mercenary. After delivering the report, if there are no problems, visit the Silver Cry Mercenary Guild. There will be work to do.”
As I said that, I glanced back and saw Otman turning his head and clearing his throat. He must have been worried about his disciples who lived in the Magic Tower and then came out into the world. I could see that he was fidgeting, but if I do this, there will be no problem. A precious wizard is walking in, and the mercenaries will welcome him with open arms. If you go through some trouble there, you will be able to take off your Mage Tower t-shirt.
‘More than anything, the church must be well aware of the meaning of sending personnel away after such a fierce battle. ‘It’s a kind of protest demanding that we send new useful personnel instead of letting the old people die.’
This time, I realized once again how much we need clergy members. I’ll send back both the 2nd and 3rd rank priests, so please send me only one useful priest! If you don’t apply even after seeing this brilliant report, you, Gwangmyeong Church, are real bastards! I’m going to tell Haram! They said if you pray, they will hear you!
While the professor held the holy relic and prayed with earnest wishes, the wizards, who had shared their burdens and prepared to return, headed toward the village entrance.
“Then take care of yourself! Warrior Otman Wizard! And the rest of the group!”
“Master! “You must come back healthy!”
“Go back carefully! “Don’t worry about me!”
“You must return safely and deliver this to the church! please! Think our lives depend on it!”
‘priest! Priests! Paladin! Monk! Gwangmyeong Spear Guardians!’
The four wizards returned the way they came, receiving both Ottoman’s watery transmission and the professor’s desperate transmission.
***
Shut up! Shut up!
After parting ways with the wizards, the party decided to move right away, even though it was a bit difficult. In fact, even though it had been purified by Nelphia’s light, it was very uncomfortable to rest in a place where such terrible fraud had occurred just a few minutes ago, so I decided to find a suitable place and camp even if it meant getting a little bit wet.
So they decided to put Aldrich and Ottman on two horses taken from the carriage, and then the rest of the party ran alongside.
“Well… for some reason I can’t hide how sorry I feel…”
“Never mind. Because I have a body that needs to exercise every day until my whole body bleeds. Borca? Notum?”
“Werewolves don’t get tired like this.”
“That’s right. “Running is fun.”
“Did you hear? We are naturally like this, so don’t worry and just take care of yourself. “Riding a horse is quite difficult, isn’t it?”
“If you say that riding a horse next to someone who runs at the same speed as the horse is difficult…”
Ottman said that, but it seemed like it was inevitable that his aging body would struggle.
“The sun is setting at the moment, so let’s just go to the forest over there and prepare for camping.”
‘It was almost time to leave. If you make a good campsite, you can log out safely.’
Looking at the clock, it was roughly time for dinner, so the professor lit a fire and made a simple camp using the tent he had put in his inventory. He then pressed his hand to the logout button.
In fact, I was thinking about adding more, but the external call notification was blinking red in the middle of the screen.
‘I guess they’re telling me to come out to eat.’
After confirming that dinner time was almost over, the professor’s consciousness slowly began to fade away.
***
Hwaaaaaaaaaaa!
While playing the game, the professor was imagining what the menu would be for dinner tonight.
‘Bex and Ian said they were going to take a look around Area 47. Since he hated grass so much, he might have gone somewhere and exchanged guns for something like beef jerky. Then, if you slice the beef jerky thinly and boil it with vegetables…
Pang Pang Pang Pang!
“professor! Professoruuuu!!!”
Rattling rattling!
However, as soon as his senses returned, what he felt were screams and noises that shook his peaceful imagination without mercy.
“Professor Park, you idiot, I don’t have time to sit around and play games right now!”
Ian’s voice. Something was shaking the connector wildly and calling his name as if he was very frightened.
[Is it an enemy?]
‘Hyde, please take a look around and make sure I don’t miss anything.’
Push profit –
Eventually, the door to the connector opened and quickly rolled out, and Bex and Ian came into his eyes while he was on high alert.
‘I don’t think it’s an enemy attack…?’
It was like I had been hit by something. Bex, who is shaking in the corner because her hair is all messed up, and Ian, whose clothes are torn, who has left one shoe somewhere, is barefoot and even wears his sunglasses askew.
I’ve seen something similar to that. In the mirror a few years ago. Come to think of it, these guys were visiting Area 47 for the first time today, right?
I felt my nerves relax at the sight of the professor, who seemed very familiar.
‘That’s it. That’s it.’
A sigh of relief came out of the very nervous professor’s mouth, and seeing the professor with such a carefree appearance made Ian and Bex go crazy and jump.
“Professor Kyo! You have to leave here immediately! hurry!”
“Hey. “Where are you going, you stupid bastards?”
“There was a monster, and I saw it with my own eyes! “There was a crazy guy running around that couldn’t be compared to the Abomination I saw in Area 45 before!”
“Ahhh!! Last race to preserve numbers! It’s definitely a funeral consolation! “Aaaah!”
“Damn it, Area 47 is safe! At first glance, it seemed like he would be no match for the firepower we had prepared, so we ran away, but he was clearly chasing us! Professor, please take care of Vex! “I’ll go straight to the warehouse and get a weapon
that can deal with that guy…” The professor said to Corduroy, ignoring the two who were fussing after doing some stretching to relax their needlessly tense bodies.
“Could you please fetch me some water? “Something cold.”
“I put it there next to the connector.”
“Oh good.”
“It’s a learning AI. “I remembered how to deal with it when my master did something like that before.”
“Do it Hepburn! Let’s run away! The sense that has saved my life dozens of times is speaking! You can’t beat that! You can never, ever win-”
Sigh!
“Ugh!”
Sigh!
“Fuha!”
Tung-gung-tung….
“We’re so damned together, so damned.”
The professor, who evenly sprinkled water from the bowl on the two people, looked blank and cursed at the two people, who looked like wet mice.
“Why can’t I listen at once when someone speaks? why!”
“Uh huh, is it a dream? “Something makes me dizzy…”
“So, I deliberately wrote down the warnings for Area 47 and gave them to you. I told you dozens of times to read them properly, you idiots! “If you had read it properly even once, this wouldn’t have happened, right?”
“Uh…huh?”
The professor looked down at the two people who looked at him with blank faces as if they had just woken up, and touched his throbbing forehead.
“The one you met is a type 3 variant named ‘Old Picture’. “A dangerous guy is also a guy who, if you touch him, you have to abandon your shelter and be prepared to jump.”
“Isn’t that right? I had a dream where we saw a huge monster walking around that was either a monster doll or a corpse-”
Bah!
“Aya!”
The professor, who fed chestnuts to the forehead of Bex, who seemed half-asleep and rambling, said as he threw the towel Corduro had brought to the two of them.
“It is true that he is dangerous, but that is a variant grown in Area 47. “Thanks to that dangerous guy, Area 47 has become three times safer than before.”
“Growing a variant…?”
“okay.”
Slurp!
The professor, who was exhausted thanks to the two people causing a fuss as soon as he came out of the terminal, threw himself on the old sofa and said,
“Actually, rather than raising him, everyone in District 47, including Dom, agreed to adapt to his behavior principles. Hey Ian.”
“Uh…huh?”
“Did you shoot it? “That monster?”
“Um…uh….”
“Oh, what a big, distracting guy.”
In fact, the professor seemed to be even more distracted than Bex, so he got up from his seat and personally searched Ian’s pockets, found a cigarette and a lighter, put them in his mouth, and lit them. Perhaps by instinct, Ian brought out a light and took a drag on the cigarette, and the professor smiled involuntarily at the sight. This is because
Ian
sucked on the cigarette desperately like a baby craving its mother’s breast milk.
Poisonous smoke slowly spewed out from his nostrils, and Ian could see the gun gradually returning to life.
“Puhaaa mmmm. Thank you. I felt like my head was going to explode. “How far did you ask?”
“What kind of cigarette does this kid really have? Did you shoot it? “That monster.”
“Of course… I shot him.”
“Where? Disgusting body part? Or something like a doll hanging in front?”
“main body. “I aimed for the part that looked like the head as much as possible, but it didn’t budge.”
Phew.
The professor once again breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness. If it had been his corpse, he would have had to go door to door with the survivors in District 47 and accuse them of plastering them.
“The bullets didn’t even work, so I used the explosives I had to destroy the surrounding buildings and escaped.”
“Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!”
And as Ian continued, a sound like a zombie being buried in a grave came out of the professor’s mouth.
“I… did I blow it? “A building?”
“Uh… wasn’t that supposed to happen? Is it effective? “The building collapsed, so you just screamed and didn’t think about coming over?”
Of course it is. That’s because it replicates the type of street he’s obsessed with, tailored to his tastes.
“Co corduro?”
“This is the community ‘District 47 Incident Accident Bulletin Board’.”
As if he knew everything, Corduro showed the professor the community screen he had prepared in advance.
======
Mr. Dog#@)**&^+)(**[email protected]!! Did a bastard touch an old picture? (12) I
am a witness. It was not an accident, but a very intentional explosion. (78 )
———-
: Oh, did some idiot crawl in again and mess with Polis?
: Central complex status
: Mr. Ai@*** I had to go out for a short time tomorrow, but it looks like I can’t.
: Climbed in from the Raptor. Didn’t they come and ruin it?:
The dome announced immediate action. Anyone who wants to take action tomorrow should come out.:
If they get caught, they’ll kill you, you troll bastards. They left you alone.:
One vote for the fact that those who crawled in from another area intentionally touched you.
======
Fluttering –
The professor’s arm, holding the screen with both hands, was trembling like an aspen.
“…Friends, do we have a lot of money?”
The professor looked at the community with despairing eyes and slowly realized that something was wrong. Sensing this, he said to the hesitating two,
“I need you to go out with me tomorrow.”
“Where?”
Bex stammered, and a clear tear fell from the professor’s eye.
“To risk my life to pay for the damages.”
The professor swallowed his anger, blaming himself for sending these two idiots into this dangerous world.
