Episode 720 Perfect logic
has collapsed.
I wonder if it is right to call this royal castle, but they say so.
“It’s mine now.”
We tried to evict all the existing tenants, but held back for now.
I’ll have to export it eventually, but it might be useful right now.
It’s my first time here, so I don’t know the surrounding situation.
Anyway, these guys are the ones who created an independent force.
In the process, there was friction with other forces, and of course I knew how the area worked.
“So there are about 5 forts around.”
“It’s not something you could call a neighborhood. First of all, there is some distance. “Everyone is trying to scale up.”
“They were trying to gather more people.”
“It’s safer when a lot of people gather together. Life gets a little better.”
Hecton Pointa lowered his posture and said.
This is the same reason why looters were sent to the collapsed city this time.
There were also attempts to bring relatively useful items.
The plan was to recruit any survivors left.
The plan was to absorb the city if there were no monsters or other things nearby.
‘The forces are distributed based on the strong awakened people.’
They know this too.
Only those with combat skills are gathered together to avoid the immediate threat of monsters and disasters, but that is not enough.
These people were also human and had a desire to enjoy a normal life.
An environment like the wild may make people stronger, but it also weakens their character.
It was for a similar reason that he asked for Elini when he first encountered me.
“If you just bring a woman, it will only cause trouble among the men, but if it’s a child, it’s a different story. “Don’t you have something to protect?”
Just being in the castle makes the child feel energetic.
In addition, the justification of protecting the object of protection rather than survival is a great source of strength to depressed people.
Because everyone becomes stronger if they have a sense of duty.
This guy.
‘It looks like a wild boar, but its head works surprisingly well.’
At this level, was it possible to occupy a fortress?
The main body’s abilities are not bad either.
As expected, it seems to have risen to around the mid to late 70s.
The other main combatants are on the 50th floor.
Other than that, they are low class or ordinary people.
Surprisingly, the power isn’t bad.
Compared to our world, it’s much better.
Nowadays, those who have reached the 90th floor are leaving, but they are still a minority.
‘This place is ruined, so what will happen to us?’
If you think about it, the stronger the world appears, the higher you go.
In some ways, it wasn’t a place that had the potential to escape destruction.
Tuk-tuk. I tapped my fingers.
At that time, Hecton Pointa, who had been quietly observing, opened his mouth.
“If you don’t mind me being rude, what floor did you climb to, Captain?”
-Tall.
My finger stopped at his question.
Something that suddenly comes to mind.
‘This is where fragments of chaos have already appeared.’
Time may have been warped, but at some point, disaster and climbers who had climbed above the middle level of the gate appeared, but that was true.
The criteria for dividing the destroyed world was simple.
Early stages of destruction.
A time when monsters called cataclysms appear.
Mid-period of destruction.
It is a city called transitional and disaster appears.
End of destruction.
A time when fragments of chaos appear and destruction is confirmed in earnest.
So what is the current perspective on the 98th floor?
‘Not to be destroyed. Because a fragment of chaos appeared recently. Then, where are the NPCs who climbed up to the 90th floor?’
I have never seen a single strong person reach the 90th floor.
I felt a cold sensation.
98th floor. Here, it replaces the NPC who climbed the 90th floor.
‘We all.’
Doubt soon turned into confidence.
The tower assigns trials to each floor and encourages players to take on appropriate roles.
Sometimes as a climber.
Sometimes a role suited to that floor.
We each assume our own roles according to our individual tendencies and goals.
A member of the outsider high-ranking noble Chalon and the Demon Lord’s Resistance.
So what is our role in eliminating the fragments of chaos?
“...climbed the 90th floor.”
He clenched his fist and chanted.
His eyes widen.
“Tommy I told you not to argue with anyone.”
“That’s it! “I’m suffocating. Get better!”
A figure appeared through the alley.
This is because a person wearing silver armor while riding a horse grabbed the gangster’s neck with one hand and lifted him up.
Even the helmet was worn properly.
A horse is not just a horse, it is a war horse.
Guman’s head was even equipped with barding.
‘A proper knight.’
The pattern on the armor looks familiar.
A pattern on the castle occupied by Hecton.
It was probably a regular article until the government collapsed.
First, I looked at the weapon.
A large sword that appears to be used in horseback combat and a sword that is commonly used.
I am wearing two.
Seeing as the regular long sword was older, it appears that it was used a lot.
Well, I guess so.
In a place where awakened people and monsters run rampant, even trained warhorses are nothing more than prey.
Nevertheless, the reason I ride it is probably because of the great affection I have built up over the years.
A knight’s pride also depends to some extent.
“Next time you get caught doing something like this again, know that you’ll get a beating.”
“Yeh yeh! “Of course I will!”
As soon as he is released from the knight’s hands, the gangster runs away, having already been beaten several times.
As for running, he was a fast guy.
-Bruise.
A knight dismounts from a war horse raises the face of his helmet.
A large nose and eyes with dark double eyelids were revealed.
“You were very rude to the guests who came to the village. Forgive me. “My name is Mac Iller.”
“It’s even rude. Thank you for stepping in the middle. “This is Evileye.”
“hello. “This is Elini.”
Mac smiled when he saw Elini nodding.
“It looks like you found a safe place.”
He secretly glanced at Elini and pointed to the village.
“It won’t be enough to live in a small town. The monsters nearby have already been defeated. If you want, I can help you find a place to live. “After all, this is my hometown.”
I wondered why the driver was in a remote village, and it seemed like he was from there.
The world would have been ruined and the government would have collapsed.
Going back to my hometown wasn’t bad either.
“That’s kind of you.”
“I’m just doing my duty as a knight. “Shouldn’t we protect the weak?”
Villager Elini.
Maybe even I would be seen as a weak person in his eyes.
There was no need to correct it.
I had no intention of being harsh to someone who approached me with kindness.
“Thank you, but I haven’t decided yet.”
“Huh. It looks like he’s traveling with his daughter, but it’s dangerous...”
“You’re a knight too!”
Elini intervened.
Mac’s expression becomes subtle.
I don’t know if he was reacting to the word “knight” or the title “uncle.”
“He is a very strong knight. So it’s okay. Please protect me too. “I’m still weak.”
“Hmm. Right. “I’m sorry, miss, that I didn’t recognize your wonderful driver.”
Elini’s nostrils widened, as if she liked the word “maiden.”
It’s a knight.
Now that I think about it, I was like that when I first met Elini.
I’m not wearing the armor right now because it’s so conspicuous.
“Everyone has their own circumstances. Come back if you change your mind at any time. I welcome you. The more articles, the better. Even more so if the world is like this.”
“I will. “I will not forget the kindness you showed me today.”
“haha! Let’s have a drink next time! “Well, I’m still on patrol, so I’ll go and check it out.”
I took a step forward as I watched Mac coolly exit.
I saw everything there was to see in town.
The only significant force is that knight.
It’s time to return to the citadel.
-Kkook.
On the way, Elini pulls on his sleeve.
“Are you stronger than that knight?”
“yes?”
“Then, if the driver is in danger, you will protect him?”
“Uh...”
Is that so?
I didn’t mean to bother, but I swallowed my thoughts.
“then. “That’s how it should be.”
“and! “Then you are a knight among knights? Because you protect knights?”
I had nothing to say due to the perfect logic, but I decided to do it this way.
And exactly three days later, I regretted those words.
