CH 47

I entered the forest with Christo, who was about to die hangover, in tow.

As usual, there are no animals. When we find a few goblins, we release [Energy Bolts] to kill them before they get too close.

If Christo dies in a close fight, the plan would be a failure. The place to die must not be in the forest, but in the dungeon.

We continued on our way and arrived at a lake in the forest a little later than planned.

“If you walk for a while, you will find the dungeon. I think we should take a break before that. What should we do?”

“I was also just thinking about having a break. I’ll allow it.”

Christo gave his permission and we decided to take a break.

A short distance away from the group of Nobles, I chewed on some dried meat in preparation for a monster attack.

The last time I was here, I was attacked by a [Skeleton Knight], so I can’t be too careless.

Christo’s hangover is getting better, so I’m sure he’ll be back to leading the survey team by the time we reach the dungeon. At last, I could get on with my work.

I smelled a delicious aroma, so I looked at the Nobles. A servant was cooking a hot pot.hj

It’s going take a while before we leave.

That was when I was thinking about it. I spotted 2 [Skeleton Knight]s heading towards us. I was about to pull out my sword to take care of them as soon as possible, but I stopped.

Fortunately, they were ignoring me and walking towards the Nobleman.

I let go of the hilt and move away slowly so as not to be noticed. As I move to a place where I can just barely be seen and hide, the Nobles finally seem to have noticed the [Skeleton Knight]’s presence.

After Christo drew his sword, he ordered his followers to move back. Regina stands in front of them as if to protect them. Christo stepped forward alone and began to fight the two [Skeleton Knight]s.

I was surprised, because I thought Regina would be in charge. Moreover, his sword skills didn’t seem to be too bad. Even though he was using a sword with sacred inscriptions, he didn’t take long to defeat them. Of course, he didn’t seem to be injured.

I had only seen him with a hangover, so I must have underestimated his abilities. As a Knight, he was probably about the same or a little better than that.

I’m glad I was able to get an accurate idea of his abilities before I got busy investigating the dungeon.

Now, it’s time to meet up with them.

“Are you okay?”

I pretended to panic and rushed over to Christo.

I’m not sure if he likes the fact that I came back after everything was over, but he seems to be in a bad mood.

“I’m not going to be beaten by this small fry. Do you think I’m an idiot?”

The more energetic he gets, the more troublesome his personality becomes.

I suppressed my desire to rebel and bowed my head.

“I never meant it in that way ……”

“It’s not something an adventurer can understand.”

Christo sheathed his sword and walked away.

I’m not going to argue with you at all.

The more you insult me, the less you’ll think of me the more it makes easier to work behind the scenes.

At best, I hope you enjoy the little time you have left.
