Chapter 560 00560 Dream Woman.

“… so I think we should ask the opinion of the Mercenary Road on this. ”

“I think so, too. ”

“Yes. Then…. Mercenary Road.”

“ ……. ”

“Mercenary Road? ”

“… Ah. Yes, yes. ”

T ra n sl a ted by jpm t l.ｃo m The voice that calls out to me a couple times.

Dozens of users are staring at me, startled. Among them, Han So-young, who was sitting at the top, was having an indiscreet look at her manners.

I quickly shaved my head. It seems that he was unconscious for a while.

“Do you know what I just said? ”

“Yes. Now that we've secured the monster's sample, we have a plan for a future lead..." ”

“... but you're still listening. But I need you to focus a little bit more on the meeting. ”

“I'm sorry."

Since it was true that I was obsessed with other things, I apologized neatly. T ra n sla ted by ｊpｍt l.c oｍ

Han So-young nodded calmly and pointed to the map in front of her. It means go out and explain. I slowly got up, but I didn't erase my curiosity.

No, actually, I'm feeling a little sad.

Last night, Han So-young was definitely strange. It's hard to pick up and say how strange it is. It just doesn't feel like the Han Soyoung I used to know.

In my confusion, I went to a meeting without sleeping at night, but the parties are always the same. It seems like last night didn't matter at all.

So, it felt even more subtle. I am glad to see the same spirit all the time, but on the other hand, I feel disappointed.

... Damn it. I don't know what I'm thinking.

Anyway.

“Let me give you a brief description of your future leading plan. ”

If you can't find the answer right now, you'd better forget everything Han Soyoung said and focus on attacking.

When I thought about it, I turned around and looked at the big map. This map is not a map for finding a path, it is an unfinished map made by attacking. As such, no information is written except for the path North Continent has walked so far.

I have reached the point where the current Southern expedition has stopped, and have drawn straight up.

“The first step is simple. And unlike we've done so far, we're going to go in a straight line. ”

“In a straight line.... That's the forward direction. So why did you choose that direction? ”

Han So-young immediately asked me, and I nodded lightly.

“As I said the other day in the meeting, when we were dealing with monsters, we had a three-phase plan: step one. Sample secured. Step 2. Research and Countermeasure Methods. Step 3. Raid and annihilate the stronghold. ” Tran sl a t ed b y jp ｍ tl .ｃo m

“Yes, it is. ”

“Of these, we have now reached stage two. Then there's only three stages left. If so, it would be a priority to find the monster's home. And I'm pretty sure there's a good chance there's a monster stronghold where we're going. ”

“ ……. ”

Han Soyoung didn't say anything. But it's still a curious face, as to why you think that. Other users, of course, were the same.

A moment later, a man calmly raised his hand and expressed his intention to ask for permission to speak. When I gesture to let you, I calmly get up. I think I saw his face a few times on the way over, but I can't remember his full name.

“Mercenary Road. It is clear that monsters are constantly attacking us. But how does that relate to the idea that there might be a place to go in the future? I don't really understand that part. ”

Theoretically, it was a sharper question than I thought.

because I know where it is. I held back what I wanted to say, and I opened my mouth quietly.

“It's a fairy tale, but let's think about it for a second. Let me give you an example. ”

“For example…. You mean it?”

“Yes. Suppose we were on the North continent, and monsters attacked on a massive scale in the Steel Mountains. So how do we behave? ”

“That's it... Ah.”

I felt this moment in the face of a man who was about to say something. I don't think your head is very stupid.

I mean, let's switch sides with the monster.

T r a nslate d by jp mtl .c o m “Of course, it's one reason to think of us as prey and to attack. That's not wrong, but I thought about it as a monster. Why would they want to scout us yesterday? ”

“To find out our information…. I think so. ”

“Yes. If we take a closer look, it could also mean that they haven't given up on us yet. Technically, from the monsters' point of view, we're just an invader in a nest. And that's where I set my leadership direction. ”

“Hmm.”

I've decided to wrap things up a bit here. He didn't tell me in detail on purpose, but said in a puddle. Because what I'm saying is almost an excuse.

When I leave without being hit, I get tired of just saying the verse. Here, I have to be in a position that I know nothing about the Steel Mountains. So we should march this way because we thought.... would be enough to say just enough to plant a sugar satellite.

The man tilted his head. But I sat down calmly like when I woke up, saying that I knew what it meant. And as soon as the man sat down, someone immediately raised his hand.

It was Blader Road, Googhwan.

I think I know what to say. I opened my mouth without delay.

“Even if you can't find your home, it doesn't matter. ”

“Mercenary Road. I know what you mean. Then I couldn't find a home.... ”

He opened his mouth coldly, stopped speaking and stared at me dazed. I laughed inside.

“Our goal is to walk the path, not to stabilize all areas of the Steel Mountains. Wouldn't it be great if the stronghold didn't come out? The Southern expedition will march as far as possible until the appointed time, then replace it with the next one, the Northern Expedition. ”

In fact, I didn't mean to pry you out of this position, but it doesn't matter. I don't know, but not one or two users are currently complaining about the Eastern expedition. To be precise, he was dissatisfied with the attack process. Despite seeing the greatest of our plans to attack the volcano, we've stopped moving moderately.

“I agree with the opinion of Mercenary Road. ”

After a little silence, I heard Han Soyoung's voice. T r ansla ted b y Jp mtl.c o m

“Once we're in the Steel Mountains, we're on our way and we need to attack. So there's no reason to come and avoid the monsters now, but you don't have to go looking for them on purpose either. We just need to do what we need to do. ”

We just need to do what we need to do.

Yeah, that's what I wanted to say.

Soon after, Han Soyoung stood up straight and stared at me.

“Then let's accommodate the leadership of the mercenary road and end the morning meeting here. All hands, prepare for departure. ”

That's how the morning meeting ended.

*

Time has passed.

After clearing the camp, I made my way across the shadows of the hills in a straight line, as I said at the meeting.

However, the expedition that departed in the morning was undisturbed until late afternoon. You turn on the light in your eyes and look around, but the creature doesn't even give you a hint, let alone a raid.

Because of this, I was able to march at a rapid pace and make a considerable distance, but it also felt awkward. It wasn't that hard here in the first run, but it wasn't that easy.

It was a bit of a bummer, actually. Personally, I think mind-blowing is a flow. It plummets endlessly when it goes down, but when it goes up, it goes up endlessly.

After the rising tides of the Southern expedition as a couple yesterday, I wanted some monsters to appear. And now you've figured out a way to respond. It is clear that gradual combat will give you confidence to deal with monsters as well as experience, so that the rising tides will gain more elasticity.

I was going to make it as sharp as I could when I raided the stronghold while continuing to polish it, but now I have to slow down again. Well, that's a shame, but I can't help it.

Side by side, over the shadow of the hill, the stronghold is just ahead of us.

As I try to get out of here as quickly as I can, I speed up my march, but I'm asked to take a break from the rear, and I pause. Proximity doesn't seem to be hard, but it seems that wizards and priests have a lot of stamina.

After finally giving the 20-minute resting order, I leaned against the hill and sat down. Then, to clear the feeling of grief, I began to organize the questions in my head calmly.

... Suddenly, I felt like I was missing something very important.

*

The surroundings were dark. Literally a dark place. There is a dark, black veil in every room.

A space where not even a single beam of light enters the earth.

And there was a woman wandering around in that space.

“Brother!”

It was Ansol, who she was.

Ansol's unprepared face reflected his inner feelings.

I've been walking around this room for 30 minutes. In fact, Ansol doesn't know why he is here. Just remember, I went back to my tent after a safe march, dinner, and then fell asleep right after I finished my guard.

However, when I opened my eyes, I was standing in a place I had never seen before.

“Brother!”

I shout it again, but I don't hear a reply. I had already sung it several times, but it was all a meaningless shout.

In such situations.

Ansol thought it might be a dream, but it was useless. I should wake up if I want to, but even if I pinch my cheeks and roll the floor like crazy, what I see doesn't change a bit.

“Brother!"

However, Ansol called Kim Soo-hyun. In a situation where nothing could be seen and nothing could be done, there was only one thing Ansol could do. I just pray that someone will save me and wait forever.

How much time has passed.

I'm about to get tired of wandering around.

- Help... Please…

Suddenly, a small voice flows quietly from somewhere.

The slow pace of Ansol stopped. And I looked around Salmoney with my uneasy eyes.

“Bar, who was that? Anybody home?"

- Help me... Please...

I heard it clearly this time. Someone is asking for help.

You see nothing, but Ansol turns his head cautiously in the direction of his voice.

“Sa, are you human? ”

- How did you get in here?

After a moment of silence, a slightly lower voice replies to Ansol's question. I felt like I was going through an exhausted tremor, but my voice couldn't rest, so I split up and was quite annoyed. However, there was still a feeling of softness somewhere, which was originally a pretty beautiful voice.

“I-I don't know. Why I'm here, too. Deo, where the hell am I? ”

- … Right. All right, let's just calm down, and we'll try to keep our voices down for now. Never, never speak up.

Ansol lowers his voice without even knowing it.

“Yes? Yes, yes. ”

Okay, can you come back to where I am, please? Don't run. Slow down.

Then the voice of the air began to lead Ansol, speaking to him as if a mother were tying the child.

As I heard a calm voice, Ansol's heart came to my relief. It wasn't just because I thought I wasn't alone. I don't know why, but I don't feel bad in my voice. Rather, I felt a little sorry for him.

- Two steps to the left from there... All right, good job. Now, extend your arm forward.

Ansol reaches out his arm calmly after taking a stiff walk as his voice tells him to. Surprisingly, there was a sudden change in the space where nothing had been seen.

Of course, the dark space itself was intact. However, the anvil felt something on the outstretched fingertips. At the same time, it felt as if the cold energy was touching a rusted iron door.

- Just push the door. Slowly, very slowly. You really don't want to make a sound, because you can just push it a little bit.

What Ansol has been asking me to do all these years, and what I keep hearing, never make a sound.

Ansol swallowed his saliva in a nervous state. As I heard, I started pushing the invisible door, little by little, into my hands.

However.

Kirik! Kirik!

Maybe it's because it's too old. I said to be as careful as possible, but eventually it became noisy. The noise itself was small, but it sounded strangely loud because it was so quiet.

- Ah... Oh... no...

At that moment, a disappointing voice rang out in Ansol's ears.

Ansol intuitively felt that something was wrong.

“Yi, what do we do now? ”

- I'm fine, just run. Somehow.

“Yes, yes? ”

- I can't help it. I don't know how you got in, but I just woke up Padre's consciousness. Fader, he's making sure you're there.

“Yes? What is it...? ”

- We're already here. We don't have time to explain. Come on!

My voice has been raised for the first time, which has kept the sound as low as possible. Ansol is embarrassed.He says to run away, but where the hell are we supposed to go?

I didn't know how to do that. I was just rolling my feet.

- …….

Suddenly, my surroundings sank endlessly. At the same time, Ansol felt overwhelmed by the overwhelming and utterly unacceptable ominousness of his whole body.

I turned my gaze dazed. I still can't see anything.

However, Ansol was feeling clearly.

Though it is invisible, there is something unthinkable that is spilling a tremendously sinister energy that is rapidly approaching you.

If we do this, we will definitely die.

No, I don't.

- Sister, Sister, Sister, Sister, Sister, Sister...

The moment I thought about it, something had already changed in front of Ansol.

- Ball Ball Ball Ball Ball Ball Ball Ball Ball Ball Ball Ball Ball....

Immediately, Ansol's head is caught in the darkness and lifted as far as he can. My head turned white in a sudden situation.

Ansol's mouth is wide open.

“Come... Bernie..."

It was then.

- Don't move!

A white arm protrudes out of the open door. And he grabs Ansol's arm, and he grabs it just as badly as he can.

“Gaaaahhhh!”

Along with the feeling of a hook around the navel, Ansol's body was dragged into the doorway at the shovel. A sharp scream echoes through the dark space.

- Run, run!

Meanwhile, the sound of running away struck my ear in succession.

Ansol looks back at the direction he's been talking to himself, even though he's being dragged by his hands.

And that moment.

So the moment I saw the voice inside the door.

- I told you to run... Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee!

Ansol's eyes open wide as if torn.

*

“Aaahhhh!”

A loud scream echoes through the tent.

Yeon-ju instinctively opened her eyes.

“Haha, hahahaha, hahahaha! ”

As soon as I heard a strange voice, Ko Yong quickly got up.

The subsequent actions were also quick. You use the shadow to turn on the light stone while looking around, pulling out the dagger that was placed under the pillow. However, it was not the invasion of the enemy that caught his eye. I can only see Ansol shaking all over, soaked in cold sweat.

Soon, a member of the mercenary clan who slept in the same tent began to rise.

“Dream.... Dream..."

A squishy, yet frightened voice flows from Ansol's mouth. Yeon-ju immediately hugged An-sol.

“Sola, what's the matter? What's the matter? ”

“Help me.... I want your help.... but...”

In spitting out elongated nonsense, Ansol's hands stir the air meaninglessly.

“It's okay. It's okay. Huh? It's okay now. Calm down. ”

“No... No, no... Run away... and let me know... ”

But as long as the talking user is not sole, it cannot be regarded as nonsense.

Ansol is crazy-ass now. Goonju glances at Ansol's actions, turning his head to the clans who are still blinded by his eyes.

“Well, get Clan Lord now. ”

“Ugh, yeah? No, no, no. ”

“Come on!"

“Yes, yes! ”

The reason ran out of Huddak when he shouted.

Next, Ko Yong stared at Im Hanna.

“Hannah, get me a note and a quill. As big a record as possible. ”

Immediately, I didn't ask again. I just blinked a couple of times as if I were sleepy, then I immediately got up and started going through my backpack.

Soon after, I quickly brought a note and a quill, and Yeon-ju placed the note in front of An-sol, holding the quill in her hand. Surprisingly, Ansol grabs the collar. Like I wanted this.

Ko Yeon no longer said anything. I just whisper and groom that it's okay to hold an anvil in my arms.

After a while.

“Seven…. Eleven... No. Fourteen…?"

Ansol drops his head, shivering slightly. Then he grabs the quill and starts moving with the record.

It was, like, a picture.

Ansol was drawing something. Even the original skill was clumsy because of the trembling hands, but it was clear that the painting was clearly showing a single figure.

“One…. ”

Within a single shape, the insole painted another shape in the space next to it.

“Two, two…. ”

I found an empty space and drew another one.

Slightly wrong, but the shape was almost the same.

Among them, Ko Yun carefully observed the most clearly drawn form. And the moment I thought of the image in the shape, I slightly frowned at Ami.

“This...? ”
