Chapter 346

Episode 346 Hermitage (1)

A slight advantage over mine in terms of objective specs.

And the equipment…

‘overwhelmingly superior.’

Besides, since he participated in the war for over a year and decapitated the Noarks, he must have more combat experience than me.

But you don’t have to be scared.

Because Erwen made one mistake.

Sweep.

right street.

As long as I am a contractor for the King of Spirits and an archer whose life is to control the distance, I have an advantage at this distance.

The fact that it is a closed room is a positive point.

Even the opponent’s mentality was not fine.

“Come on more. How can I tell you that. That can’t be……”

They looked at me earlier and said it was an evil spirit or something.

I had no intention of giving it a long time.

It’s going to be hard to finish quietly once you start showing off each other’s full potential.

Kwak-Ak-

After crouching with one hand that was the size of a watermelon, he made a fist and dashed forward, kicking off the floor at once.

But…

Huung-!

The punch, which was said to be a surprise attack, cut through the air in a very empty way.

Is this also Minkaera?

“…don’t do that.”

Because that’s what I expected.

cooong.

The moment I stopped my body as if I was stomping my feet down on the floor.

“The character has cast [Eye of the Storm].”

A whirlpool swirled around my body and began to pull things around me.

It was not linked to [Transcendence], but the radius was only 5m.

However, it was enough to cover the one room we are standing in now.

Whii-i-i-!

Beds, blankets, pillows, bookshelves, tabletops, carpets, etc.

Anything weighing less than 500 kg is blown away by the strong wind.

Of course, Erwen was among them.

“…This!”

The eyes of Erwen, who had fought a battle with the Stormgushes on Parune Island, were young.

I wonder why this skill came out all of a sudden.

When I was proving my identity, I deliberately didn’t show it because I thought it wasn’t even the essence I originally had anyway.

Whoa-!

However, Erwen also immediately began to improvise, as if he had been rolling around a lot. He summoned the wind spirit and began to resist the pulling force.

“Stop that…!”

stop what do you do stop

“I told you. There’s a problem with your head.”

I walked forward while maintaining [Eye of the Storm].

And…….

Huung-!

fist extended forward.

Of course, I didn’t think that this fist would reach Erwen.

I would definitely step back and avoid it, and then I was thinking of instantly increasing the length of my arms with [Giant].

Well, I’m sure it

must have been…….

As the duration of [Eye of the Storm] expired, the fluttering furniture and fixtures all fell to the floor.

And…

“…….”

Erwen stood.

With my eyes closed in front of my outstretched fist.

“Why…”

At this point, I had no choice but to ask.

Perhaps, if it hadn’t been for a stop on the way, this fist would have hit Erwen.

But why the hell

“Didn’t you avoid it?”

Erwen slowly opened his eyes and said with an expression that looked like he would shed tears at any moment.

“If you do that… you’ll get hurt…”

Huh?

The time when my head went blank due to a sudden change in circumstances.

“You’re right… Actually I know… that I have a problem… But still. Yes, but…”

Erwen said plaintively. continued to speak

“How could I hurt you?”

Uh…

is that so?

pop.

I couldn’t speak as I watched the teardrops that couldn’t flow down my cheeks and fell to the floor.

“…….”

If that’s the case, I’m the only one who’s a bad person.

***

After that, I had a sincere conversation with Erwen.

Sometimes it was too wordy, and I suddenly fell into Samcheonpo on the way and talked about off-topic for a long time, but in short, it was like this.

I haven’t been sane since I died.

With the determination to take revenge, he endured a long period of pain and was able to obtain the pure blood of his clan.

As soon as he gained power, war broke out, and he did not spare his life to seek out dangerous battlefields, seeing it as an opportunity to take revenge.

It was also at that time that he made a contract with the King of Spirits.

And…

“I admit I went too far, but I never intended to restrain you.”

It was because I was too worried that the windows were boarded up or that I could only go for a walk at night.

Rumors spread that there were evil spirits in the city.

It was a kind of obsession.

I couldn’t control myself at all because I thought I might lose myself again.

“Then what about Amelia?”

“…It’s the same with that woman. I can’t believe it. I’m really confident that I won’t betray you under any circumstances… but I’m so insecure because I don’t know what that woman will be like…” ”

. ……

” “But ah, I won’t do that in the future. I won’t stop you even if you say you’ll make me a colleague. To be honest, I’m still nervous…” ”

I’m nervous…?”

“…Because you don’t want that to happen.”

Hmm are you serious?

It doesn’t seem like he’s lying or anything like that…

I was worried that he’d suddenly turn a blind eye again later, but looking at it now, it seemed like he was sincere.

Seeing you say things like this.

“Essences. If

Mr. They were the essences obtained by standing up.

But it doesn’t matter if I delete all of them.

“…why would you go that far?”

“Because I don’t want to be hated…”

That’s why I still don’t understand.

Were we really close enough to be like that?

To be honest, this is all I can think of.

However, it was a bit like saying that in this situation, so I didn’t bother to say it out of my mouth.

“…I think it would be better not to erase the essence.”

“…I’ll do as you say.”

“Instead, think about deleting a few if this happens again.”

“If your uncle wishes—”

“I’m not saying this for my sake, I’m saying it for you.”

It was 100% sincere.

Well, Erwen isn’t in a good state right now.

It wouldn’t be difficult for me to do things the way I wanted if I used sweet words every day and cleverly used my feelings of not wanting to be hated.

But also that’s not right.

Co-worker relationships aren’t like that.

I learned it from a mage in Larcas’ labyrinth.

That’s why…

“For me…?”

I said firmly.

“Yes, for you… No, precisely for our relationship.”

“Ooh our relationship…”

“…Do you understand?”

I grabbed Erwen’s shoulder, who was somewhat dazed, and asked again as if to confirm, and Erwen answered within seconds.

“Yes yes heh……”

…You understood correctly, right?

***

Nothing has changed in my life since the conversation that day.

He still lived in seclusion, venturing out in the yard at night and not removing the boards from the windows.

The only thing that has changed is Erwen’s attitude.

“Mister, this is the equipment that you used to use.”

I could just hide in this house, but Erwen, who gave off a hint that something was wrong, started to help me much more actively.

First of all, it was the equipment.

“This is…”

No. 2988 Mark of the Guard.

It has no special stats or use effects, but it is one of Shield Baba’s core items that adds a whopping 50% shock absorption option to the shield when worn.

“…Did you have it?”

“There’s no way you can sell it.”

I heard that Raven took the lead in distributing the inheritance, but after receiving these earrings in the mail, it seems that he did not sell them and kept them.

“But why are you giving this to me now? I’m sure you’ve asked about the equipment before.”

“I’m sorry… I hid it because I didn’t want you to go into the labyrinth.”

Yeah, it wasn’t because of my mood, it was really like that.

‘If I hadn’t solved it properly last time, I might have really been raised in this house…’

Somewhere creepy, but I really didn’t think so.

I threw out the awkwardness and checked the other part.

I thought it would be released on the market because it was sold out a long time ago, but now my thoughts have changed.

There’s a chance the other kids have it too, right?

“…That’s something I’ll have to look into closely. But what’s certain is that Abman Urikfried has all been sold.”

“Abman?”

“Yes. He said that he received relatively meaningless things other than the equipment he was wearing. Subspace rings and things like that.”

Um, that’s right.

The things you were wearing are a bit difficult to cash in, so did you take something you could sell without remorse?

It’s a little sad, but it’s not important.

‘In the first place, if this earring and that one are fine, I just need to get the rest again.’

Shields and armor need to be remade.

Other number items are not that expensive either.

“Do you know who took my necklace?”

“Ah, if you put that magic stone in, it turns into strange things, isn’t it?”

“okay.”

Its official name is No.7777 Garphas’ Necklace.

This necklace has the ability to transform into a random substance by inserting a magic stone into it. Should I say it’s a gacha version of alchemy that turns magic stones into bread, water, metal, etc.?

So it wasn’t something of great value.

That is, until you have enough money to open a hidden special event.

“Actually… I want it too, so I know because I sent a letter to that wizard before. No, Arua Raven.”

“So? Who took it?”

“Misha Karlstein.”

“Ah…….” As

soon as I heard the name, the sound of the wind flowed out.

That’s because he’s the only person among our comrades whose whereabouts remain unknown. Well, I heard the information that I was with Lee Baek-ho at the round table this time, but…

In fact, it’s more confusing because of that.

Should I say everything is enigmatic?

“…….”

Still, I decided to look at the positive side as much as possible.

Isn’t it Misha who was kind of affectionate?

If it is this, it is likely that it is not sold and is being stored.

‘Um… isn’t that the case?’

I’m not sure because it’s been 2 years and 6 months.

So I just decided to think about this problem later.

‘Anyway, it seems like Einar took the armor and weapons for some reason… Then, did the rest go to Raven?’

As I was contemplating the whereabouts of my scattered equipment, an item came to my mind before long.

‘Ah, the orb of fire… How could that be?’

The only belonging item among the things I own.

If my disappearance at this time was recognized as death, it would have been possible to sell it, and if it is the other way around, there is a high probability that I will just keep it.

‘If it’s the latter, it’s probably the most likely that Raven has it…’ Sёarch* The NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Whoa…”

The more I thought about it, the more I sighed.

It’s not that I didn’t gain anything from the past, but in return, I had a lot of homework to do.

“Aren’t you eating, uncle?”

“Ah… thinking about something else for a while.”

I finished my thoughts and put the food that Erwen had packed from the restaurant into my mouth. And after we finished our meal, we had time to discuss with Erwen for a while.

“What do you plan to do next?”

“…I have to get rid of the false accusation of being a demon.”

“How can I… use my strength to prepare a place…?”

Erwen suggested that he prove it in front of everyone from the royal family, but he refused.

The reason was that it was a bit early.

Eventually, I will have to use that method someday, but for some reason I have a hunch that something political is involved in my case.

“I think we need to approach this part more carefully. If things go wrong, sparks could ignite all the fairies, including you.”

“…W You’re kind, too.”

“Keuheum. Anyway, that’s what I mean. Since we’re talking about Raven and Abman from now on, can you help me find out more about that?”

“Yes I will.”

Afterwards, after the discussion, Erwen left, saying that he had to visit the Holy Land, and I lay down on the sofa in the living room on the first floor to take a nap.

That was the moment.

smart.

Someone knocked on the front door.

Erwen had no reason to knock.
