Chapter 67

Episode 67:

People were gathered in front of the rock.

They were either embarrassed or cursing as they looked at the rocks blocking the road.

“What on earth is this!”

“what is this. “Since when has it been there?”

Strangely, that rock, the size of a two-story house, was blocking the center of the road.

You could go if you wanted to, but it seemed difficult for a carriage to go.

And this is something that wasn’t in the original.

That means someone pushed this rock here or removed it from where it was originally.

“We can’t use the carriage.”

got off the carriage.

I couldn’t travel by carriage, so I didn’t want to waste time just to make it a little more comfortable.

“But there’s something strange about that rock.”

I got off the carriage and looked at the rock.

It was an ordinary rock.

A very large and hard rock with dirt and stone debris flowing down.

But strangely enough, the rock felt strange.

Rocks are inanimate objects.

“No matter how I look at it, it looks like it’s alive.”

“What do you mean? “The rock is alive.”

“Raymond?”

Mahol and Reina heard my muttering and looked at me quizzically.

It is very strange to see a rock and say it is alive.

But Ellis did not ignore my words lightly.

He narrowed his eyes at my words and approached the rock and looked at it closely.

‘I don’t feel anything different.’

I followed her and looked at the rock, but I couldn’t make out anything special.

Because it was the rock itself.

I even used my aura to inspect it, but there was still nothing wrong with the rock.

But why is it so uncomfortable?

It feels like I didn’t brush my teeth and rinse them with water.

[The ‘Unknown God’ looks at you.]

[The ‘Unknown God’ looks at you and frowns.]

[The ‘Unknown God’ makes a complex and subtle expression.]

And he spoke from earlier. Even if it was because of the coming scene, I could tell something was strange.

What is it? What am I missing?

“young master.”

At that time, Ellis took a step back from the rock and spoke with a stern expression.

When I looked back at her, her complexion had darkened.

“It’s dangerous.”

“what?”

It’s all so dangerous.

He frowned at her words and stepped back like her.

She’s not the type of person to say things like that without meaning anything.

“There are monsters that only live in the desert.”

And her next words woke me up.

Why did I forget that?

“Mahol. Stay far back with Raina. Ellis, you too.”

He sent the group as far away as possible and pulled out the sword given to him by the crown prince.

I was uneasy because it was a decorative sword, but it was better than nothing.

‘There is a monster that becomes like an inanimate object when it sleeps.’

A monster that lives only in the desert.

Rapid climate change and insufficient food and water.

There was a monster whose body was created to survive in an environment where everything was lacking.

They move and hunt when they are hungry, or more accurately, when they lack energy.

A monster that normally sleeps as if it were dead, controlling breathing and all body functions.

“Golem.”

A monster whose entire body is made of rock and moves with magic stones.

Originally, it was like a guardian made to protect wizards.

There were also naturally created golems.

Eat creatures and replace mana with them.

And the golem stone golem was a rare and powerful monster that could only be found in the desert.

I showed them the knight’s plaque I had received from the Crown Prince and told them that the group behind me were my colleagues.

“Hmm...”

The guard looked closely at the knight’s plaque I showed him and then nodded.

It was impossible to copy the knight’s plaque, which had a magical sword drawn on it to represent a knight.

Therefore, it was determined that there was no problem with the knight’s plaque and they let us in.

“Wow...”

“There are so many people.”

Mahol and Reina, who entered the city, looked at the cityscape and burst out in admiration.

There were a lot of people in the fort.

And most of them were fully armed with weapons.

There is no one who is not carrying a weapon.

For those who lived in an ordinary city, it was full of strange things.

Even merchants were wearing leather armor and carrying weapons.

Next to the food they sold, such as fruit and bread, they also sold weapons.

As a city where you never know when monsters might attack, it was creating a fairly bloody atmosphere.

“Do you want to take a look?”

“yes!”

Since we still had a lot of time left, we decided to take them to see the city.

To those who graduated from the academy, all of this was like a new world.

Even within the academy, he had been living an oppressed life until he met me.

They have no money, and even if they have it, they cannot use it, so they are like sheep trapped in a fence.

They had to live only in the academy’s classrooms and garbage dump.

And it was the same even after meeting me.

Because Raina was not in good health, Mahol also had to stay at the dorm.

But not now.

‘Of course money is good.’

The expensive therapist I brought in did his job well.

In line with my graduation, I restored Raina’s illness and even her health to that of an ordinary person.

In fact, I am healthier than before I got sick, so I can move around as much as I want.

“The atmosphere is all scary. yes?”

“huh. “It feels like we’re preparing for war.”

The two walked one step ahead and looked around, whispering as if everything in the city was amazing.

I followed them and looked around.

A very rigid atmosphere.

Although I was speaking brightly on my own, I was a merchant, a mercenary, or a free knight.

There was fear in their voices.

Although he came here to have a drink, he worries about whether he will be able to return alive without dying.

Because going north was like sacrificing one’s life.

‘Where would Beatrice be?’

I looked at them and looked around to see where Beatrice was.

But she was nowhere to be seen.

Maybe it hasn’t arrived yet.

I still have to wait a week for the northern gate to open.

I also came too quickly.

“Now, let’s quickly find an inn. “I’ll do the sightseeing I couldn’t finish tomorrow.”

“yes!”

They answered at the same time and headed to the outskirts of the city.

The inn where Beatrice stayed in the original work.

And just like her, we headed to the inn where the protagonist had taken care of us.

[A place where clouds reside.]

I saw an inn with a unique name.

There were not many people around the inn because only those who knew knew and those who did not know did not know.

It was inevitable that there was nothing to enjoy around the inn.

If no one was passing by, it wouldn’t be surprising to say that it was a slum, because it was just a collection of old buildings.

“Uh...”

And I was able to find one person there.

A man was unable to enter the inn and was lingering at the entrance, chewing his fingernails.

‘found.’

The Beatrice I had been looking for was there.

He covered his appearance with magic and looked like he was in trouble.

[The ‘Unknown God’ smiles strangely.]

It was a very thankful situation.
