Episode 126
A few minutes ago.
Gabor.
It is a small village on the periphery of a country that is everywhere.
The villagers make a living by cutting down trees, farming, and hunting.
just an ordinary town.
However, it is located in the area where the empire and the principality meet, and there are huge forests and swamps nearby.
That is the town where mercenaries and outcasts gathered.
As soon as I entered Gabor, I ordered food to appease my hunger.
Some salads and stews.
And I wanted to order lamb steak, but there was no such thing in the small town.
It’s worth raising sheep, but the only thing there is venison.
I wasn’t in a position to cover that up, so I ordered it and waited patiently.
“Hey bro.”
No matter where I went, annoying guys who didn’t even know my subject approached me.
To be honest, I was a little nervous that he might be talking about being a demon of lust again, but I wasn’t fortunate.
“Is it a good time? Do you have a lot of money too? I order venison steak here. Kkeuk.”
“Are you a pilgrim, brother? No, he’s wearing a white robe. Are you bragging about this? He has a lot of money.”
“What are you asking me to brush up on? Kya-kya!”
tight three. two hairy ones. total five.
And the guys who look after them…
‘About fourteen.’
Colliers thought.
He said he would have no choice but to eat while smelling blood.
“Hey, are you ignoring me?”
A bum approaching with a javelin slapping in his hand.
“after.”
Callius snatched the spear from him and threw it away.
Kwajik!
Without a single scream, the tramp’s heart pierced through and disappeared through the walls of the tavern. Immediately one bald head fell.
dump.
Silence hung over the tavern.
However, that’s only for a moment.
“This bastard!”
come all at once
can’t use a sword
So, Colius took out the soldiers’ maces from subspace.
aka Morning Star.
A blunt weapon with sharp spikes.
swung it vigorously.
Kwajik! puck! pop! widely!
Blood and brains were scattered everywhere.
The heads of the two hardheads and the two hairy bobbers who had jumped in exploded in an instant.
A cruel hand.
The movements of the vagabonds, who were about to stand up and rush at them, were as hard as stone.
However, Callius had no intention of leaving them alone. Even those who had just been dying were attacked and blown away like thunderbolts.
The original fight is momentum.
How to set an example once and the rest of them won’t even think about coming along.
after a while like that.
“The food is out.”
“…”
The owner did not blink an eye even after seeing the corpses and put the food down.
As is often the case, he didn’t even pay attention to it, so his inner working capacity was so great.
Callius put down the Morning Star and took out a fork and knife.
First of all, it’s a soup and salad.
And eat some stew. The deer steak was cut elegantly and put in a bite.
It smelled a little, but it was edible.
‘About 3 points out of 10.’
It reminded me of the grilled earth dragon I ate in the North. Roasting the Earth Dragon is an exceptional score that cannot be achieved due to the nature of Colius.
That’s why I gave it 8 points.
Deer steak at a tavern with jaw-dropping taste.
Originally, I wouldn’t have eaten it even if I gave him money, but I can’t help it.
It was better to save the food in sub-space just in case.
“Still, the stew is edible.”
Stew is still about 4 points.
Dalgrak.
As I was tasting the food, the gatekeeper I had seen earlier appeared, put down the money, and withdrew.
I did something, but I soon understood.
‘He had a conscience.’
Guess I got ripped off.
The gang must have been afraid because they had turned into porridge. It didn’t matter, but I just didn’t like sending it back.
“hey.”
“yes?”
“Put it out here.”
“Ah… me?”
“….”
“Oh, I have to clean it up! I have to clean it up. haha!”
The gatekeeper suddenly cleared the area, but a figure wrapped in a robe approached in front of Callius.
‘The smell of iron.’
And the smell of grass and flowers.
Perhaps it was because the sense of smell had become more sensitive to meat and bloody smells.
Genos of the Gradas family could be sure, but Callius is not Gradas, but Jervan.
how can’t be sure.
Since they were the ones approaching, I decided to observe the situation first.
“Can I sit down?”
“As you like.”
dump.
The short man who sat down with a thump and the man next to him, who was comparable to him, sat lightly.
Colleas’ doubts were solidifying into certainty.
“Master! Beer here! Is that one too?”
“I’d rather have wine.”
“I am a shipper.”
“Here is wine and wine! And eat in moderation!”
beer and wine. And the shipper was quickly put on the table.
As soon as the food arrived, the man with a gruff voice and big hands gobbled up the food and beer.
The thin-handed man nibbled at the salad and stew, then drank the wine from the bottle.
Callius took out the chalice of the defeated god from his bosom and drank the wine.
After filling their stomachs properly, they put down the tableware and opened their mouths.
“Thank you. I had a delicious meal thanks to you. thank you! I say aldu This is serenade.”
“This is Serena.”
“…Callis.”
this meal. ‘Was I living there?’ Thinking that, Colliers was quite upset.
Well, I wanted to have all these beggars, but I had to listen to the story first.
After being silent, Aldura looked at Colius as if the man was interested.
“Aren’t you from your principality?”
It was an unexpectedly sharp question.
I was surprised for a moment, but didn’t show it.
“I don’t mind. To a pilgrim from the principality, not being a member of the principality. Are you repaying my kindness to you with disrespect?”
He smoked it subtly, but Aldu raised the corners of his mouth with a beard.
“There’s no such thing as too much acting. I’ve dealt with a lot of guys from my principality. Your mace doesn’t contain the brutality typical of the principality. Calis If you were really a pilgrim to the principality, you wouldn’t have burst out in the throes of those who attacked you. The whole body must have been torn apart by the mace.”
Serena also nodded, saying yes, and gulped down the wine.
“Because the principality is originally such people.”
“…”
There was nothing to say about that part.
It was a fact that had been overlooked.
In fact, it was a fact that I had never experienced before because I had never been involved with a mace.
When Colius didn’t say anything, Aldu stroked his beard sticking out of the hood with confidence.
“Now then, why do you pretend to be a principality and carry a mace when you are not from the principality? Because you are a citizen of the empire? No way. This is an empire, why? If you think about it simply, the answer is that it is neither an empire nor a principality.”
“Hmm. Then what do you think?”
“Your skill seems to have exceeded a certain level. power speed. Both of them are impeccable, and on the contrary, they have a sense of style.”
It was a satisfactory answer.
‘I especially like the word that there is elegance and dignity.’
He didn’t even say decency, but that’s what Colliers thought.
“The knife-handling and meat-cutting skills are unusual. You must be a sword pilgrim.”
That’s a pretty high reasoning power.
Colius was surprised inside.
I had no idea he had this level of insight.
He deduced small clues and led them to the correct answer.
Isn’t it fun?
However, I didn’t want to give a straight answer.
Because it’s not perfect either.
“Okay. You never know. Whether I will serve the axe, the scythe or the ram.”
“Hehehe, on the contrary, it’s even better. In any case, if it were not for spears and maces, we would be welcome.”
‘this.’
You got hit.
Aldu chuckled, and Serena whispered to her for another bottle of wine.
It was like being caught, but I didn’t feel particularly bad.
“Would you like to work with us?”
“Day?”
“As you can see, we are also pilgrims. You too are a pilgrim. But seeing as they pass through this road, they must be heading to the Holy Land, right?”
“okay.”
“If we can accompany a talented person like you, we must also be blessed by God. what is it like to be together We’re in the same situation anyway, so I think he figured out our identities right away.”
It is.
Aldu’s hammer. Serena bow.
It’s a rare combination, but the two of them serve a hammer and a bow.
They were dwarves and elves.
If it were not for the spears and maces enshrined by the Empire and Principality, which had the greatest influence on the current continent, there was no great hostility among the pilgrims.
Even now, somewhere on the continent, it is common to briefly accompany different pilgrims walking on the pilgrimage route.
however.
‘Do I need to do that?’
What was the reason for leaving all the articles of Carpe in the first place?
Callius went on a pilgrimage alone to carry out his convictions and justice.
I said it a little grandiosely, but if I put it lightly, it would be comfortable to be alone because I intend to travel around the continent.
As long as there is no need for something, the nerdy trait must have disappeared. It is comfortable to walk around alone.
“If you’re asking me to accompany you on the way to the Holy Land, I’ll decline.”
“Hmm… why?”
“Because there are more losses than gains.”
Of course, that’s a superficial reason.
Colliers actually knows them.
So they felt the need to bring out the truth they were trying to attract.
‘If my memory is correct, these are the ones who will later be called the heroes of the continent.’
Of course, that will happen in another six years or so.
To be honest, there was nothing wrong with being friends with them from Colliers’ point of view.
They are only pilgrims now, but their potential is so high.
I’m curious.
Among the pilgrims, why do they, who are so powerful, invite you to accompany them?
why do you need power?
Since many routes have already changed, it is safest to cross the stone bridge by hitting it.
“Hmm…”
Aldu swallowed, looking at Serena, and she swallowed the wine without a word.
He was perplexed, as if he did not know that Colliers would firmly refuse.
By the time I thought I should drive more wedges. Aldu opened his mouth.
“Actually, we have more people.”
“Who is that group?”
“That’s why I want you to accompany me. He’s gotten into quite a bit of trouble.”
Aldu’s words made Colius’ face strange.
* * *
Deep, dark forest.
There were people who stared at the sky in despair, relying on the moonlight.
Their bodies were covered with scales and horns sprouted from their heads.
Its eyes were those of a reptile, but it held a spear in each hand.
“We are descendants of dragons.”
“But we are being taken away.”
“Our gods and our spears. The land we cultivated!”
thud! thud! thud!
As if in sympathy, those holding the spears pounded the ground.
“How long must we live by relying on the moonlight?”
“How long must our spears be aimed at the heavens and the earth!”
“we are…!”
how
“Can’t you be proud!!”
thud! thud! thud!
“We have the right to take back what was taken away!”
“It doesn’t make sense that the descendents of the dragon have to live on a pitiful land.”
“It only penetrates with a spear.”
“The conclusion is in a week!”
“Brothers, let’s get back what was stolen!”
thud! thud! thud!
“Let’s get our lives back!!”
thud! thud! thud!
“Let’s show the power of Yongin to the unscrupulous empire!!”
thud! thud! thud!
In the middle of a desperate tribe of dragons. Those who looked at them with pitiful eyes were mixed in the clan.
He is a colleague of Aldu and Serena, and a pilgrim of Lactus who has been appointed as the new chief of the Balaur tribe.
A dragon who has the stigma of being a fugitive despite inheriting the strongest power of the dragon race.
‘The old people are crazy because they want to die. I want to live…how can I escape?’
His name is Philomatur.
It was aka tail cutting Philo.
