Chapter 302

‘If this is a kid, it’ll be fucked up.’

Abnam’s aide, Mekel, who knew how to liven up the atmosphere by playing clowns, felt that even his downy hair stood on end for reasons other than the cold, and tilted his sword to the floor to avoid appearing as hostile as possible. If it was an enemy, it was dangerous, and if it was not an enemy, I knew intuition that there was no need to plant antipathy.

The elves didn’t mind, but the men looked at the weapons they had pulled out in that brief moment and quickly turned hostile. Seeing the need to step forward before causing any misunderstanding, Meckel stepped forward, restraining his colleagues.

The first priority is the protection of the captain. To do so, someone else had to do something that could be considered commanding authority.

“Excuse me! This is a pioneering village supported by the gateway city, Raviel. Why did you come here?”

The conversation I tried, hoping that there would be no dog-like attacks, was quite successful. It’s because the man’s eyes have changed.

“My name is Eldmia Ega, a high-ranking adventurer who accepted the support request from the Raviel Adventurer’s Guild. I’d like to meet the person in charge.”

However, the polite reply that came back changed the eyes of Meckel and others this time.

A human who cut off the captain’s hand. Even so, why is the human who made such a fuss about avoiding revenge, let alone avoiding it, here? Is it a coincidence? I heard that he showed up in Englem, so I came all the way here, but can we really say that it’s a coincidence that we run into each other again?

Various worries passed through Mekkel’s mind for a moment, but the important thing right now was that the man who identified himself as Eldmia Ega wasn’t very suspicious of them, even though they flinched.

It was a good sign that he didn’t mind flinching at the sound of his name, whatever it was. If he had been chasing the captain, he would have opened his eyes for the axe.

“Ah, that’s right. There’s no such thing as a checkpoint, but as a form of formality, could you show me an adventurer’s card? Is the elf next to you also an adventurer?”

“Yes. Same rank.”

“Let’s see... I’ve confirmed it. Thank you for your cooperation. The manager dispatched from the guild should be in a temple-like building over there.”

And Meckel’s guess was correct. When she opened the road without saying anything, the first reaction she showed was nowhere to be found. It wasn’t until the back of Eldmia, who politely bowed her head and even greeted her, was blurred over the distant blizzard.

“Captain. Breathe. Breathe. Are you gone?”

“Whoa...ceebaaar...”

Despite the blizzard, the sweat running down his forehead tells how nervous he is. Anyone who sees it will know that it is summer alone. Until I saw it in person, I wondered why even hearing the name made me laugh so hard, but after seeing it in person, I understood.

That’s a fucking dangerous bastard regardless of his skills. No matter what the opponent’s number was, if the number was wrong, the eyes of those who would draw the knife first were usually like that. And most of those crazy guys were just hangovers.

“Crazy, that’s 15?”

“What the hell does a young guy eat and train to become like that?

Seeing Abnam, who was sitting by the campfire pretending to be calm but still shaking his hands, his subordinates helped him one by one. No one gritted their teeth for showing weakness. All of them had at least once experienced something fatal that would break their hearts.

If we had run a little faster and got colder, we would have prayed to the fire spirit to get some warmth, but if we did that in front of an extremely ordinary natural phenomenon, other spirits could be dissatisfied, so even Asili, my hands and feet were tingling.

[snowstorm! It’s fun!]

“Yes, I hope it’s fun.”

While only Laika, who did not feel the cold, traced her memory in the midst of the excitement and headed to the temple, a lot of things had definitely changed in the village she looked around. At the time, it felt like only the buildings where people lived except for the temple were built, but now, starting with the town hall, the wooden fence that is being reinforced is vaguely visible.

“who are you!”

If it wasn’t for the snowstorm, I would have gone leisurely, but I guess it was because I was in a hurry to drive the horse because the situation was not good. Even though there was still a bit of distance, the people standing guard in front of the temple raised their voices and asked.

“I am Eldmia Ega, an enemy adventurer who accepted Raviel’s support request! I heard that the manager is here!”

“Ah! Welcome! Come on inside!”

It was a very friendly response to simply being a hired mercenary or adventurer. As we got closer, we saw that the man who welcomed us was holding only a club.

“Nice to meet you, adventurer! My name is Jacob. You worked hard to come a long way for the village on such a difficult day.”

“Nice to meet you, Jacob. You must be from the village?”

“Yes. There are a lot of injured people and there is not enough manpower. I’ll move the horses to the stable... Oops! There were dogs too?”

I know that the construction of the village has progressed quite a bit, but it wasn’t a very good sign that there was a lack of guards due to the injured. I asked a villager named Jacob, passing the reins of Asillie’s horse.

“You don’t have to worry because it’s a dog that understands words well. More than that, are there a lot of injured people?”

“It’s not small. I don’t know if they knew this blizzard would come, but the monsters have attacked a lot in the past few days. Just yesterday, four adventurers were injured while fighting the orcs.”

Judging by the fact that he wasn’t particularly frightened while talking, it seemed that the adventurers were doing things right. First of all, after expressing our gratitude, we entered the temple as he informed us, and we were greeted by a space full of all sorts of junk and office supplies.

It was nice to feel the warm warmth, but it didn’t feel good as I thought I knew what it meant that a person called a manager moved things necessary for work to the temple and worked.

It must be that there are many injured or that there is not enough space to stay.

“Who...”

While I was staring around for a while, making an unpleasant guess, someone spoke to me, and when I turned my head, I saw a woman in guild clothes holding a pile of papers.

It was a familiar face.

She was the woman who came to me with so many victims and talked about the right to revenge.
