Episode 1268. At the end, while EXO was also
running, a smile spread across Elio’s face as he looked around for the saintess.
The saintess looked faster and more relaxed than anyone else, just like when refueling the river.
Since Shastra Parakti’s incarnated body was imbued with the spirit of Namgoong-yeon, the eldest warrior, she would be stronger than most sword masters, but she worried for nothing.
When the thing he was most worried about was resolved, Elio’s confused mind also calmed down.
Wedge liquid-!
The sharp piercing sound of a magic bullet cutting through the air came from behind.
Is it because of the memory of being hit by a magic bullet in a duel with Marquis Gosling Knauf?
I only heard the sound, but I got goosebumps.
But apart from that, in the face of danger, he instinctively protected the saintess.
puck-!
Something flew into the middle of my back and hit me.
However, the magic bullets could not penetrate his body surrounded by self-defense.
The shock was felt, but Elio could see that he was not injured.
‘It’s an ordinary magic bullet!’
He let out a sigh of relief inside, then took out an amulet from his pocket and threw it into his pupil.
It is a talisman against dark clouds.
If there is nowhere to hide, just make it invisible.
The amulet that fell down was engulfed in flames and soon turned to ashes and scattered.
It is okay to fly up and kill the magic gun shooters, but in the meantime, there may be casualties among the party, so he blocked the view first.
Mumble mumble.
Dark clouds gathered over the open pit mine, and darkness fell in an instant.
The gunfire naturally stopped.
When it suddenly became dark, Elio said to the party who were confused and did not know what to do.
“The darkness will lift in the next hour or so. You can’t see ahead, so hold on to the wall and go down carefully. I’m going to find out who the guys who shot the magic gun are for a while.”
After he finished speaking, Elio soared up with the divine law of the parasite.
But the reality was different from the mind.
It flew above the ground, but the surroundings of the open mine were not visible because of the clouds of the black cloud awning.
In the end, Elio had to fly higher for a while.
Finally freed from the dark cloud shade, he fell down and waved his hand lightly.
Woo woo woo-.
A strong wind rose and cleared the clouds of the black cloud awning.
Although the upper part of the open pit mine was clearly exposed, nothing was visible.
I don’t know who the enemy is, but it seemed to run away the moment I cast Dark Cloud Awning.
Elio, who landed at the entrance of the open-air mine, radiated aura.
But even with that, they couldn’t figure out who the surprise attackers were.
Because the open pit mine was attached to the tombstone.
“Damn it.”
Elio grumbled and wandered around, looking for something to salvage.
Elio, who had been wandering around for about an hour, flung himself down the hollow when the clouds of the black clouds cleared.
After a while, people gathered around Elio who returned.
Among them, the hot-tempered Fabian asked first.
“Did you catch those who shot the magic gun?”
“No, it jumped right away.”
“Did you find out who it was?”
“It bounced, how do you find out?”
Then Fabian muttered with a surprised face.
“Sir Yaa Lagoa has stepped in, but there is something that cannot be done.”
“You know, there are a lot of things like that. By the way, has anyone been hit by a magic gun?”
“doesn’t exist. Is Lord Lagoa all right?”
“me? why?”
“The saintess said that Lord Lagoa had a loud sound coming from her body. uh? Are there holes in your clothes? Didn’t he get hit in the back?”
It was as if the tombstone had been scaled down.
As Elio looked around, he heard Luna Mylus’ voice in his ears.
“It is a different world.”
Elio, who finally came to his senses, asked again as if to confirm.
“It’s definitely not the Great Forest, right?”
“huh.”
Elio’s party gathered one by one around Elio.
Finally, Fabian popped out of the black dot in the air.
Conscious of the people’s stares, Fabian said with a confused face.
“I wonder if I left something behind. I have to make sure to clean up after myself.”
Elio asked Merdef while listening to his unspoken excuses.
“Brother, is this all? They said Abyss is dangerous. There’s nothing better than the Great Forest.”
“Well, this is a safe area. The mountain on the right is Mount Petra, where mana stone mining mines are concentrated. The field in the center is the plain of Evrima, which is said to have an open-air gold mine. A horse is an open pit mine, and gold discovery is picking stars in the sky. The mountain on the left is Mount Parton, known as a holy place among herbalists. Petra Everyma Parton is where the subjugation has been completed.”
“Is there a village here too?”
“It could be said to be the center of the safe zone. They are called ‘EXO’, which means ‘end stage’. Because they are obsessed with making money. Still, there are things that adventurers and mercenaries are comfortable with because they go in and out of the Great Forest to supply supplies. It’s a shame that things are a bit expensive.”
“Do you charge a lot of fees?”
“Calling is worth it.”
“Business will be fine. But what makes it different from Tombstone?”
“First of all, there are no vigilantes here. You can think of it as more lawless than Tombstone. I don’t care if a murder happens next to me.”
“That was a bit harsh. You don’t care if a real person dies next to you?”
“It’s not that I don’t care, I’m going to steal something that could be money from the corpse.”
“Wow. disgusting. Why do you live like that?”
“Would you say EXO, the last one, too? You can think of it as a place where people who have gone all the way are gathered.”
Then Fabian said a word.
“Is that enough to scare people more than demons and monsters? Will you be able to sleep comfortably?”
“It seems that they keep their trust among themselves. Only then will adventurers and mercenaries gather here. It is also where the black trade takes place.”
“black marketeering?”
“We secretly sell and buy the treasures we excavated and the herbs we gathered from the mana stones we stole from the mines. There are times when we barter.”
Elio shook his head and asked again.
“Exo or whatever, it has nothing to do with us anyway. I heard that someone saw the statue of Ushas Undra in the frontier area? where are you?”
“If you go over Mount Parton on the left, you will find a desert. Starting from the desert, it is a development area that is less subjugated, but they said they saw it somewhere in the development area.”
“ha! A desert?”
When Elio let out a long sigh, Merdef hurriedly spoke.
“The desert isn’t wide enough to worry about. There are even oases here and there, so there will be no difficulty in passing.”
“Have you been?”
“Yes, I have passed by three times.”
“Didn’t I say the desert wasn’t wide? What happens after you pass through the desert?”
“The sea.”
“...”
Elio only blinked at the unexpected words.
If you cross the desert, the sea comes out.
Is there really a place like that where Ushas Undra can hide?
It didn’t even seem like there was a statue of God, let alone a place like that.
However, there are people who have seen it somewhere in the development area, so we have no choice but to look for it step by step.
“Look ahead.”
At Elio’s blunt words, Merdef crouched ahead.
After taking a few steps, Merdef hesitated and turned to Elio.
“Come on, Viscount. Exo Island is the last town. If you need anything, you should buy it here.”
“I don’t need anything.”
“Ah yes...”
Merdev’s shoulders drooped as he turned around.
If you can’t even see the wagon, but you don’t have anything you need, as an abyss experiencer, you’re going crazy.
