- A Digital Perspective -
"Hey, it's been a while."
Behind the escaping criminals, a voice rang from behind.
As always, the signs are faint.
Well, I noticed.
"Ah, it's been a while. You look well."
A fellow who shrugs his shoulders at my words.
His name is Galtos.
He's a trusted fellow in the back.
I've saved his life a few times, and I've helped him once.
"Are you sure it's better than that?"
Galtos' gaze turned towards the escaped criminals.
The figure is already invisible in the darkness.
"Ah, that's good."
In my words, a little disturbing air flows from Gartos. [M]
"I didn't let him escape."
"No, I ran away."
"Yes, I stopped, too.And yet, you can let him go. "
Jas, who was displaying frustration next door, raised his voice in disgust.
Well, if you don't know anything, you think I let them go.
Actually, I let him go.
"So, what about the guy who let him go?"
Can we catch him?
Answering Galtos' question makes him feel that neither Galtos nor Jazz is possible.
"Huh? If you're going to get him, why did you let him go? Are you stupid?"
Jace grabbed me by the shoulder.
It hurts.
Years have passed since I retired as an adventurer at the age of 70, and it's as stupid as ever.
"No, I thought it was stupid, but I didn't think so."
Galtos pulls the sword out of his sheath.
I'm sure they're going after them now.
"That's all I want to say. You said there was no problem. It's time they moved."
Two people leaning their necks against my words.
Hmm?
Looks like one came here.
"Let me introduce you to the monster who will help us in this operation."
Surprisingly, shadows appear around me.
This is another big surpent.
Huh?
The next moment Galtos and Jas exposed their stupid faces, many shouts echoed in the woods.
Apparently, the runners managed to meet the surpents.
Well, it must be the worst encounter for them.
"Hey, Dinal."
"What is it?"
Jas pointed his shivering finger at the surpent.
"It's rude to point your finger."
You're staring at me like I said.
That's funny.
Is this what happens to Jace, who thought nothing would work?
Surpent, right?
"You'll see, won't you? Good evening and thank you for your cooperation."
Slowly stroking my words around the nose of the bowing surpent like Ivy.
Galtos and Jas stepped back into sight.
"It's okay."
Jas approached me vigilantly.
"Amazing....."
Jas probably reached out to the surpent.
A surpent staring at its hands.
The customer got burned along the way and rubbed the tip of his nose against Jazz's hand.
I laughed at Jace, who was trembling.
It was amazing.
"Gilmouth's tame monster wasn't a surpent, was it?"
Gartos approached and gently touched the surpent.
"Oh, no. Nobody's tamed her."
That's right.
Jas nodded looking at the forehead of the surpent.
"Special Tamer seems to be able to get along with un-tamed monsters."
I remember Ivy with the surpents.
Surrounded by surpents as if nothing had happened, but it was an unusual sight.
I didn't scream the first time I saw it, but I was really surprised.
Besides, when I was introduced as "cute," I had a lot of trouble responding.
Surpent is a very smart monster.
It's not in the 3 big monsters, but you can say it's a special monster.
Some individuals coexist with humans, but that is quite rare.
Many surpents live deep in the woods and refuse human intrusion.
If you force yourself into the woods and think you're the enemy, you'll never come back from the woods alive again.
The ancient literature also states that "the village was destroyed because it angered the surpent."
That's what makes Ivy happy.
"Really? I've never heard of it."
Jas nodded in wonder at his confused expression.
"I guess there aren't so many special tamers that the monsters would like to work with."
Almost none, except Ivy?
Jace thinks of something in my words.
"Did Dinal meet that special tamer?"
Turn your eyes slightly towards the screams coming from the forest.
I can hear a fairly wide range of voices, whether they are running around quite a bit or not.
Ah.
The surpents suggested this chase this time because Ivy cried.
The moment Ivy cried in that cave, the atmosphere of the surpent changed for a moment.
It's not just the surpent.
Sierra and Sola changed for a moment.
I don't know about the monsters, but I think they probably made Ivy cry.
"Who am I to ask?"
Galtos shows an intriguing expression.
"I might buy the anger of the surpentants, if that's all right."
The surpent that had me stroking up until now raised his face and looked down at us.
"Ah! Don't say that, Ginal.I'm sorry, I'll never ask.By the way, how many surpents are working together? "
I put my shoulders to Galtos' words.
"You didn't hear me."
"There are more than 10 of them from the trees, right?"
Look into the woods in Jace's words.
You can move without making a sound from where the trees shake loudly earlier.
"No, more?"
There are 28 of them on the run.
There will be more than 20 of them because of the possibility of escaping in pieces.
"Probably 20 of them."
"Twenty! Even though I'm afraid of one...Well, they're going after you because you're running away.I wish I hadn't run away. "
Jace's words smiled bitterly.
"Speaking of which, how did you get involved?"
"Ah, two days ago, I finally learned the exact location of Gilmouth's death from the guy who was his assistant.When I went out into the woods to make sure, two of them were waiting near the dump. "
Galtos gave me a little surprise.
Well, it's not normal to be waiting.
"Maybe he was looking for any sign of me.I want to tell you about this time.It was tough. I know you want to tell me something, but it's hard to understand. "
Honestly, I want to praise myself for understanding well.
"I'm sure you understand."
"Serpents bring small monsters and push their butts to escape.So, if you run, you catch him and let him escape again.I've just repeated this three times, and I thought maybe I'd ask. You're telling me to let him escape during the convoy. Excellent answer. I was really relieved. "
Looking around, I see two surpents and a monster I'm trembling with.
You must have looked pretty funny.
But I'm really glad I understand how the surpentants feel.
"Ah, is that... a swing?"
I followed Jace's gaze and smiled bitterly.
It's midnight so it just looks thin, but one of the surpents is shaking around with something in mind.
Well, it must have been someone who escaped.
"By the way, what are you going to do over there?"
Turn your gaze toward the village gate in Galtos' words.
I was able to see two men sneaking out.
Hide in the shade of the tree and check the faces of the two.
"Definitely them."
I didn't expect to meet church officials in this village.
There is no church in this village of Okanke.
A long time ago, there was a dispute between Guilmus of the Adventurer Alliance and the Church over the rights of the Magic Stone that could be harvested in the cave.
Gilmouth used a pretty bad way to crush the church.
Thinking about it now, Gilmouth was amazing back then.
Since then, it seems that the church has crushed every opportunity for the church to build in order not to be robbed of the village's money.
So there is no church in this village and there is no one involved.
For some reason, there are church officials in King's Landing.
What do we do?
"Secure and take him."
Gartos nods at Jas' words.
"I caught you... fainting."
……
Was it free?
The surpent beside us approached two church officials from above the tree.
The result is fainting without speaking up.
Well, I know how you feel.
That must be pretty scary.
