Chapter 246

Episode 246 Turning Point (6)

What kind of mistake did he make that he does that?

I didn’t even think so.

That’s right, Misha has been watching me for the longest time.

A barbarian reading a book.

A barbarian who knows how to act as a seeker.

A barbarian who pretends to be ignorant but is actually a clever barbarian.

A barbarian who always took for granted what others did not know.

There must have been a lot of suspicious things in the meantime.

Well, until now, I would have just passed on saying that there might be such a person, but…….

It must have touched me because of what happened that day.

Because he knows the most about me.

[Is there any reason for the enemy to do what he wants?]

He kept avoiding answering with barbarian reasons, but it must have looked strange in Misha’s eyes.

At least he knows that the only time I become stubborn is when there is a reason.

[If you don’t answer, I’ll kill the enemy tribe?]

Even when I heard that from the white tiger, I felt a deep sense of despair.

Perhaps Misha even felt this.

That I was at a dead end, desperately holding back an answer.

“……What do you mean by disappearing?”

Midnight when everyone is asleep.

Looking at Misha, who came to me cautiously and showed anxiety, I answered as if I didn’t know anything.

“Why did I suddenly disappear?”

“Oh no, that’s… yes, it’s just a nightmare.”

Misha turned around, citing her dream as the reason.

He seemed to think that if he took out the anxiety inside him, it might really turn out that way.

“Dream? If you’re really scared, you can sleep next to me!”

“Because it’s not that much? It’s crazy! If you’re going to play around, go to sleep, you babarian old man!”

Soon Misha asked what she was talking about and left the room, and I let out a silent sigh.

My chest was tight.

‘Suddenly disappeared……’

I know why he said that.

Yes, I sneaked into his room yesterday and read the book on his desk.

It was a book I had read at the library before.

A book that lists some patterns and habits of demons.

[The demons are good at acting and clever. Also, it’s not related to relationships. When there is a crisis in which their identity can be revealed, they cut off all ties and choose the method of hiding.]

It was a phrase that I could sympathize with enough.

Isn’t it a fate that only ruins if his true identity is discovered?

First of all, keep as much distance as possible from the people around you, and if that doesn’t work, you will eventually try to change your identity.

And if even that option is blocked…

‘I’ll go to Noark.’

In fact, Noark is a city made up of such people. Criminals or evil spirits who can no longer remain in Lapdonia hide in the sewers, and Noark collects them.

‘Even the clown is famous for joining Orcules as soon as he was discovered to be an evil spirit.’

I lay on the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling.

It was very complicated in my head.

‘If they find out that I’m an evil spirit…’

How will they react?

Would you feel betrayed and angry at being deceived?

Well I’m not sure.

At least Misha was more anxious about disappearing from her side, even if I was a demon.

‘The damn white tiger.’

I finally admitted

I am afraid that my true identity will be revealed to them.

More than a guillotine that might lead you to it.

I am more afraid that everything I have built will crumble.

Even if it’s like a sandcastle.

Huung.

I took out the magic tool in the subspace.

A magic tool that allows you to secretly talk to others.

[Okay, if you want, I’ll get rid of your place. Hans Christen is a demon! There is proof of that in my backpack—]

By the way, it also had a recording function, so the dwarf I met in the doppelganger forest used it to drive Hans G to a dead end.

Click.

Soon, when I pressed the home under the magic tool, the conversation the two had at that time was vividly played.

[What are you so worried about? They’re NPCs anyway.]

[But still, the companions I’ve been with so far—]

[They’re laughing. Do you think they would think that way even if they knew who you were?]

Hans G did not give any answer to the dwarf’s words.

that’s what you know

[The one your colleagues thought of as a friend was the real Hans. And as you know, the real Hans is no longer in this world.]

We are evil spirits.

No matter what kind of relationship you build here, it is bound to be a precarious relationship built on lies.

[But… I consider them to be my real colleagues.]

Hans G answered that day.

But what was the actual behavior like?

[Uh… I’m sorry…]

[I’m sorry.]

When the dwarf in crisis forcibly revealed his identity, Hans G poured fire on the warrior’s body and attacked the dwarf. stuck

The fact is that I knew it myself.

You can’t go back to your old relationship anymore.

That once precious comrade now considers himself an ‘enemy’.

Click.

I pressed the button again to turn off the sound.

Suddenly, Takelan’s words came to mind.

[There will come a day when you feel the same as me.]

What he said was wrong.

If such a moment of despair comes to me too.

It would be more terrible and miserable words.

***

Another two days passed.

In the meantime, there was nothing to do.

No more clues about the large clan that was presumed to be behind the assassination came out, and in the end, the day’s incident ended in a tail-cutting fashion.

It was something I couldn’t dig into anymore.

Oh, but thanks to that, the number of escort articles increased.

As it was proven that there was a force targeting me with malicious intent in the royal family, I added more power.

well, a little bit too much.

‘Hey, I can’t go out anywhere.’

Only three close escorts already.

Of course, it was only inside the house, and there were over thirty knights standing guard outside. Also, when I go out, all the people follow me.

Oh, even Kimi Sanggung was attached.

“I’ll try to eat it first, in case it’s poisoned.”

At every meal, an article specializing in poison resistance tastes it first.

“I don’t have to do that! There’s no way I could harm Bjorn…” “Because it’s

better to be certain. Well, it’s delicious. As expected, Mr. Karlstein seems to be very good at it.”

“It’s not comforting to say that!”

Missha didn’t seem to be in a good mood because she was like that at every meal, but…

But seeing her inflexible like this makes her more trustworthy.

‘Even if Noark sends an assassin, I don’t have to worry about this.’

After breakfast, Einar went out to the holy place, and Erwen said he would meet his younger brother.

And the same goes for me.

“……Leave?”

“Now I have to go to work, too.”

Now that I’ve rested enough to rest, it’s time to work hard again and do the things I put off.

“If it’s work, you’re going to buy something again?”

“No, it’s a different business this time.”

“Hmm?”

I usually have shopping time during maintenance time, but that’s not the purpose today.

Although I made a lot of money this time…

‘If I stay, the value will go up, so there’s no reason to shop now.’

First of all, the price of equipment has already started to plummet.

This is because most of the explorers, who were the main customer base, died and demand decreased.

Meanwhile, food prices rose.

Concern that the supply of manastones might decrease from next month started hoarding.

‘For now, let’s try not to use cash as much as possible.’

Currency here is not a simple piece of paper made by social consensus.

It has real value.

After all, it is a world that lives on magic stones, a universal substance that becomes iron and wheat by the hands of alchemists.

There will be no depreciation of currency.

I don’t know if the value of labor power hits the floor.

‘Is Hikurod alright…?’

Suddenly, the dwarf came to mind.

Lately, though, blacksmithing seems to be going well, but right now, only flies fly, right?

It’s kind of salty.

I opened a shop with all my property, and that kind of thing happened.

‘I’m going to visit him later when I have time……’

I simply put on my clothes and came out with Misha.

Outside, a carriage prepared by the knights stood.

I think it’s a very undeserved treat, but…….

“Let’s get on.”

I got on the wagon now that I was used to it.

It doesn’t cost money anyway, and it’s much easier to escort this way, so what can I do?

“Where can I take you?”

“To the Great Temple of the Church of Leatlas.”

As soon as I told the driver the destination, the carriage started.

“…Leatlas Bridge? Why are you going there all of a sudden?”

Misha’s eyes looked somewhat uneasy.

I understand your feelings.

Because the religious forces here are the natural enemies of evil spirits.

‘It looks like I haven’t completely cleared my doubts yet.’

For a day or two, Misha read books about evil spirits and said meaningful things to me, but after a while, those things disappeared.

So I thought it was just a whim and concluded that I couldn’t really be a demon.

‘……At times like this, it would be better for me to just leave it unstimulated than to do something.’

So, we just continued our conversation normally.

“I’m thinking of asking if there are any priests left.”

“…A priest who remains? Ho, are you going to leave the team?”

“What are you talking about?”

“But even if the priest came, there are already five of us… Ah! I can’t believe one of them…”

Ah, really, what are you talking about?

I sighed and cut it off.

“I’m not leaving the team, and no one else is leaving my team.”

“Huh? Then why is the priest…….”

Misha blurted out as if the question was still unanswered.

I talked about my future plans. Sёarᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Because now I have to prepare to go up to the sixth floor.”

“Eh, 6th floor? Yes, that’s right. But what does that have to do with this?”

“I will form a clan.”

The time has come for the five-person team to graduate.

***

Even if it is small, it is classified as a clan with more than 5 members. This is because the number of people must be divided into two or more teams.

“clan? Then, from now on, will it move with 10 people?”

Well, I think it will

eventually happen. Not

right away.

From the 6th floor onwards, one more explorer with a special position needs to be recruited.

Then,

for now, a total of 8 people.

Well, actually, I don’t worry too much about this part.

If it doesn’t work out, meeting on the 2nd floor is one way.

Depending on the starting location, it will take time to join, and there will be a number penalty on the 4th floor, and it will be slower… ‘

It’s not like we’re a large clan.’

Unless the purpose is to control the hunting ground, the difference of a day or two is not meaningful to a small

clan

.

If the corner doesn’t come out, I plan to stay for a few more months. In the first place, I need that much time to finish preparing to go to the 6th floor. “I have arrived

.

”

Most of the knights waited in the wagon.

I went inside with three close escorts and only Misha.

“Captain Crobitz is out for work.”

I was greeted by another paladin, not Paal Krobitz, whom I have a relationship with.

His name is Sven. Parav,

the vice-captain of the 2nd Order of Holy Knights of the Church of Leatlas?

“It’s an honor to meet you like this. Baron Bjorn Yandel. What kind of business did you visit the main church today?”

I briefly told him of my plans for the future.

I plan to create a clan and, if possible, I would like to bring in a priest.

To put it simply, the result was rejected at once.

” Hmmm, even if you are a baronet, that would be a bit difficult.”

Neither the reputation of a ‘giant’ nor the noble status of a baronet that you have recently gained have any effect in the church.

It is only a basic condition.

To recruit priests, you need public value. ‘

Why is Hoo so inflexible like a game?’

Since it was within the expected range, I asked about a way to increase the public value, and I heard a detailed answer:

‘Everything is like a game except for a few things.’

In the end, it seems that the only answer is nogada.

I should have done it in advance.

“Did you say parav? Thank you for today. Come again next time.”

“Yes, I’m always waiting for the hero’s visit.”

After finishing my brief business, I exchanged greetings with Parav and turned my back. Then, as I was about to open the

parlor door and leave.

The condition has been met.”

The

last vine that prevented the evil relationship with the dragon slayer was cut

off
