Episode 1289. Where my sister is is my hometown, my home.
After Fabian was bitten by the Sagittarius viper, Elio and the others chose mountain roads as much as possible to move.
If Fabian was in the grass after being bitten by a snake, he would be embarrassed.
His fuss caused Elio and the others to become phobic about snakes.
Fortunately, mountain trails stretched to every corner of Mount Parton by herbalists.
Tynelock, who was in the lead, was from a savage, so he blindly went into the grass.
Belatedly, Elio and his party knew that they could take a look around the mountain just by walking on the mountain road, so they didn’t go into the dangerous grass.
Thanks to that, the fear of Sagittarius Viper came to an end.
However, Fabian’s aftereffects from being bitten by the Sagittarius viper were worse than expected.
Fabian suddenly said, ‘It’s a monster!’ Don’t run away screaming or rest well, but say ‘Oops! It’s a groove! damage! cut! Take a picture!’ I wrote a bad basket.
Every time that happened, Elio calmed Fabian, who was rampaging with a bloody attack.
I searched Mount Parton for a whole day, but I couldn’t find anything related to the temple or statue.
However, no one was disappointed because they did not have high expectations.
It was because Mount Parton and Mount Petra were at the level of stopping by before going to the unexplored land – somehow it was a pity to just leave.
that evening.
Elio and his party camped under Mount Parton.
After dinner, people gathered around the bonfire one by one.
Baron Howard Solon, who was sitting with a bored face, suddenly turned to Fabian.
“Hyung-nim, I hear you screaming ‘groove’ during the day... Have you ever met a groove?”
After Fabian had suggested to Baron Howard Solon and Crea a few days ago that they be like brothers and sisters, Baron Howard Solon called him older brother.
“I?”
Fabian, who had no memory of his hallucinations and auditory hallucinations, asked with a bewildered face.
“yes.”
“Did you say groove?”
Then Crea intervened.
“They say it’s Groove, but avoid it! cut! I shouted, “Take it!”
“I’ll turn.”
Fabian shook his head excitedly with a puzzled face.
I thought I forgot all about the battle at Glaches Fortress, but it doesn’t seem like that either.
People’s attention was drawn to Fabian.
I was curious to see that smirking Fabian react passionately.
But for some reason, Fabian’s mouth did not open readily.
This is because just thinking about the Glaches Fortress is a painful memory.
Elio spoke on his behalf.
“There was a war with the Demon Legion at Glaches Fortress in the north. Groove is one of the monsters mobilized at that time. The tentacles protruding from its mouth are densely covered with thorns, making it a terrible sight to look at. There were many people who fell prey to it while resting. It seems that the memory of that time has come back.”
For an instant, the atmosphere darkened.
I only knew that the army of the Northern Kingdom had defeated the demons, but I didn’t know the process.
But looking at Fabian, it seemed that he was fiercer than I had imagined.
Baron Howard Solon, who was staring at Fabian, bowed his head.
“I respect you. older brother.”
Then Fabian waved his hand with a puzzled face.
“What is respect? I was just a low end jockey.”
“no. Thanks to the sacrifices of the Northern Kingdom, peace on the continent was preserved. I don’t know why the Empire and the southern kingdoms don’t teach that history.”
Everyone nodded at Baron Howard Solon’s words.
It was because the continent kept quiet about the war between the Northern Kingdom and the Demon Legion.
Paladin Almet Hareb opened his mouth.
“It’s probably because the Empire and the Southern Kingdom broke the peace that was kept at the expense of the Northern Kingdoms. If the current storm subsides, the efforts of the northern kingdoms will also be revealed on the surface.”
“I hope that day will come soon.”
“me too. I hope that the northern knights who defeated the demon corps will be treated fairly.”
Fabian, who had been listening to Baron Howard Solon and Crea, said.
“The pursuit team is back. They’re camped out under the mountain. Looks like we’ll be leaving Mount Parton tomorrow morning. He said he asked about the unexplored lands in Tombstone, so he won’t be staying long in Mount Parton. We don’t know which way it will bounce, so let’s end it on Mount Parton.”
However, Viper and Slater’s mercenary leader reacted with disdain.
The frustrated Heldok mercenary leader continued talking.
“There are two sword masters. If we procrastinate, we may be defeated.”
Warlock Charles Manson cunningly tricked Count Helio Lagoa into a sword master.
It was because I was afraid that the mercenaries would get scared and accept the request if I called him Grand Master for nothing.
The Viper mercenary leader, who had been listening with a calm face, opened his mouth.
“In the Abyss, there is a limit to the distance of search magic. Even if a magic swordsman is a grand master, he won’t notice if he keeps enough distance. It’s been three days since we entered the Abyss. Thirty gold is not the right calculation.”
Then the Heldok Mercenary Commander refuted.
“If you hit it until the day you return, you can get forty to fifty gold.”
“Let’s have a bigger meaning. Opportunities like this don’t come along very often, so are you going to end it for a penny?”
“What is the replacement target amount?”
“Shouldn’t you get at least a hundred gold? How about the mercenary leader Slater?”
The thoughts of the mercenary leader Slater were not different from those of the Viper mercenary leader.
“You should get that much.”
Slater’s mercenary leader quietly let go of his words, but Viper’s mercenary leader didn’t bruise him.
He is a person who is habitually short-talking, so he is just trying to do that.
At the words of the two mercenary leaders, the Heldok mercenary leader frowned.
“It is difficult to predict what will happen upon entering the unexplored lands. Are you still trying to procrastinate?”
The Viper mercenary leader answered right away.
“Who asked you to follow me into the wilderness? It would take two days just to get from here to the near unexplored lands. Let’s wait a day or two more.”
The mercenary leader Slater also helped.
“Didn’t you say that the ambush at Mount Parton failed once? Unless they’re fools, they’re going to be on guard in Mount Parton. You should aim for the moment when the other person’s vigilance is relaxed.”
The Heldok Mercenary Commander could not refute the point made by the Mercenary Commander Slater, who had some reason.
It was not right to make another ambush where one ambush had failed.
“Okay. I totally agree with you about looking elsewhere. But let’s not even think of going into the wild. Our Helldok Mercenary Corps
will not follow you to the unexplored.”
“We, the Viper Mercenary Corps, have no intention of following them to unexplored lands.”
“I don’t even go there. I came to make money, not to die.”
The Heldok Mercenary Commander said something, as if Slater’s flat talk was annoying.
“Then why do you keep talking half-heartedly?”
“who? me?”
“Yes you. When did you say that we saw each other?”
“Can’t you even talk to yourself?”
“Have you been talking to yourself all this time?”
“of course.”
“Aren’t you still answering me in plain language!”
As the voice of the Heldok mercenary leader rose, the Viper mercenary leader stepped forward.
“Turn your voice down. Are you going to advertise that we’re here? Also, the mercenary commander Slater should get rid of his habit of squeaks with anyone.”
“Because I’m talking to myself.”
“That’s great.”
“Oh fuck!”
The Heldok mercenary leader and Viper mercenary leader, who were ‘crying’ at the continued half-talk, shot at the mercenary leader Slater.
Still, the mercenary leader Slater faced the two men steadfastly.
When there was no change in their attitude, the Heldok mercenary leader and Viper mercenary leader turned their heads.
I wanted to do a full blown sword fight, but I had no choice but to endure it.
It’s because everything will go to waste if you make a fuss here for no reason.
Eventually, the Heldok mercenary leader and the Viper mercenary leader spurned their seats and stood up.
The two people who went outside shook their heads excitedly as if they were fed up.
A mercenary brigade that was in charge of illegal work would be normal.
