Chapter 376

It is said that civilized people are more rude than savages because they do not split their heads even if they say something rude.

Conversely, wouldn’t it be possible to say that those who pour out rude words and actions without hesitation are members of a civilized society? Assuming that, Ethyl is a very civilized nation, and they may have grown up receiving the full benefits of it, so they may not be able to see it.

There were enough possibilities as it was near the destination, the large city of Millean.

“Then, almost all the orcs around here are dead?”

“Yes, yes. That’s right. So, it’s a competition. It’s gotten a little worse. Orcs are a bit expensive now.”

In fact, there was nothing to call it a fight.

Before the corpse of the warrior who was blown away by the ax rolled down the hill, he threw the pot of stew that had become an orc prophet to the wizard who was about to shoot magic, making screams that were not spells come out and threw the ax at the warrior. Just by making them follow, the rest lost their fighting spirit.

To be precise, two people knew me, so the conversation moved quickly.

One mercenary and one adventurer. The former heard the story related to the Oak Gate Incident through the Blue Owl Mercenaries, and the latter was aware of my reputation in the capital.

I didn’t think the rest would agree because only two of them were going to hit me in the head, but fortunately I accepted the fact that I couldn’t follow my movements properly and quickly threw away my weapon.

Thanks to that, I was now taking their food and canteen, cleaning the pot, re-boiling the stew, and listening to the situation.

It is said that they were only staying in a nearby city and partying for a while to make money. It was an action that stemmed from the calculation that since most of the Orcs were disappearing anyway, it would be worth it if the six of them walked together. In order to quickly stabilize the situation, money was released not only from the royal family but also from the merchant guild.

“Other than that, it’s quiet.”

“Yes?”

“really?”

“...Uh...”

I poked it to see if there was anything more to come out, and the eyes of the four survivors began to roll desperately.

Even though I already said I’d save them, I was tasting the stew I boiled again while watching the guys work hard as if they would die if they couldn’t squeeze more information out. said urgently with a loud voice.

“Rumors about demons are flowing out from near Mandela Port! Rumors have only increased lately!”

“...Mandela Port? Hasn’t it already been several months since you were there?”

“Oh, that’s right! That’s why I was wondering! It was quiet until a few weeks ago!”

“Baby... Passed.”

I didn’t expect anything, but when I squeezed it, something came out.

I couldn’t hear more details than that, but this was enough to satisfy me, so I retrieved useful items from the warriors and wizards who had become corpses, and sent them away after providing an appropriate level of information fee.

“If you’re not going, go first.”

Because I have no reason to be held like this.

Even though I was out to the side of the line and moving forward, there was no one who stopped or restrained me. The twenty or so adventurers seemed to be full of guilt because they were natives who had been active in this city for a long time.

“It’s a passing travelogue. Excuse me.”

Fortunately, the man called the guild leader didn’t catch me either. He didn’t even know his face, so he didn’t seem to think he was an adventurer. I didn’t even have to stand in line thanks to him, so I wanted to thank him, but if I really did, I’d be an ignorant twin, so I shut up and went to the guard and asked him a question while he was being searched.

“Did demons come out around here?”

“If you insist, it’s not the surroundings, and I don’t know if it really came out. Rumors spread that the demons’ boat was found near Mandela. They are scared and want to go to the other side of the inland.”

“Speaking of the other side...?”

“They say... what did they say? They say that some new dungeons have appeared in the city of Ogwen?

Huh I never thought I’d hear Ogwen’s story here. If rumors spread to the east, it must be changing so much and so quickly. As a thank you for letting me know, I stabbed you with a few fairy tales, and the guard’s attitude, which was not bad at all, improved even more.

“It’s not that they don’t understand their feelings, but it’s true that they don’t look very nice. The benefits the guild leader has given them so far are a bit scary, so tsk tsk...” “Well, I’m not saying that. I’m an adventurer.

”

“Haha, isn’t the field of activity different? Judging from the cards, it seems that you are active in the capital city. How did you come all the way to the East?”

“Orc... I went through some unwanted hardships because of them.”

After confirming his identity, he thought it would be meaningless to be honest with the question he asked, so when he smiled and looked around, the guard burst into laughter and shook his head.

“Huh, several people are bleeding because of those beasts that suddenly appeared. Anyway, there’s nothing wrong. You can go inside as you have received the bill without any problems.”

I had been worried that Duke Lesrom would use his hands to make a noise, but it was nothing. I said goodbye to the kind guard and looked at the gate the wizard had activated.

Honestly, it’s funny to come all this way and say this, but I was reluctant even though I knew there was nothing wrong with it.

Maybe it’s because there are more cases where I’ve been out of shape than when I’ve been on the gate and looked good, so my steps, which were light until just before, have become a little heavy. Then the male wizard standing in front of the gate said with a friendly smile.

“It looks like you’re using the gate for the first time. Don’t worry too much. Just close your eyes and take two or three steps and you’ll be in another city.”

chuckle

I didn’t have anything to say, so I said thank you and followed his advice, closing my eyes and stepping out. For a moment, I felt the fluff stand up because of the magic of the gate, but I didn’t feel the slightest sense of difference like when I crossed the gate of the demons.

“...Finally!”

And when I opened my eyes again, the capital of Isthel was spread out in front of me.
