The Regressor Sells Giyeon 60

Chapter 60 – Search

#060.

The expressions of the group of beastmen, who had been giggling and talking obscenities in their own language, hardened to a chilly look, and the representative red-haired beastman also began to spread bloody spirit.

Perhaps she used the word to mean shameless, but if the word was used against a beastman, it would be a serious problem indeed.

As if to prove him, the pitying eyes that had been pouring toward Ha-yeon and his party just a moment ago disappeared as if they had been washed away.

Ha-yeon was taken aback by this, and the tiger-soo-in sent a bloody look and said.

“Earthman like a worm. What did you just say?”
“What? Buggy?”

Through her somewhat ambiguous response, she must have inferred that she is an earthling, and the beastman gave a numerical value using the modifier worm.

And then ask again.

“Did you just call us bastards?”
“What are you talking about! I didn’t even say that!”
“Okay. I said you were a beast.”

Soo-in did not easily let go of her, who was trying hard to ignore her disadvantages. On the contrary, she accurately translated her words and imprinted them again, sharpening her claws as if she were going to tear her apart right away.

Seeing that, the woman seemed to be unjust, so she gnashed her teeth and lowered her head.

“Ugh… ! That, I apologize for that. But you touched it first! So you apologize too!”

But even so, she didn’t know whether to call it great or reckless for her to ask for an apology.

The tiger beastman twisted her mouth into a grotesque smile, and her eyes radiated from her red eyes.

“You must really want to die.”
“Oops!”

Ha-yeon’s complexion turned blue as she focused her aura on her claws as if she would kill her right away. Still, she was quite courageous in standing firm.

All of a sudden, her party was sitting on the floor, trembling.

If this continues, there will surely be bloodshed.
Maybe if I kill them, that prisoner won’t be safe either.

The Pentra Empire was clearly a human country, and it was a very serious crime to commit murder at will in a city where security was alive.

Not to mention, aren’t they also a race that has just set foot in the Union? It was also impossible to cover up the incident by using connections.

That’s why it’s better to get over it, but the heads of those who heard the racial disparagement remarks were completely unable to think of what would happen next.

No, maybe it’s just knowing and not stopping.

There were people who intervened in such an imminent situation, and they were the Gaon group.

To be precise, Aris Kielune, one of them, proudly stood out and shouted.

“Stop right now!!”
“Kreuru—what is it, kid?”

As if her rational part had already been half paralyzed, the beastly beast cried out and glared at Aris. It was ferocious, as if he would tear it apart immediately if he interfered.

That tremendous life force was so powerful that if you faced it defenselessly, your heart would stop in an instant.

But Aris was not alone.
Gaon, who went straight ahead, skillfully let go of the blood that contained her peer as her ruler with excellent mana control.

Even then, what remained and leaked out, albeit feebly, was handled by Rijeni, and his murderous life could not have any effect.

Aris introduced herself with a smile on her face to Gaon, who stood up for her.

“Kid? I am Aris Kielune! You are the successor of Viscount Gartin, who rules this Kielun territory!”
“… Heir?”
“Okay! This is definitely the estate of Viscount Kielun. Do you know what would happen if you recklessly committed a murder here? Get off immediately!”

Sigh!

Suin grinded his teeth.
No matter how much he did, he couldn’t openly commit murder in front of the successor of the estate.

First of all, the guards will be coming soon. If you dragged out more time, you’ll only get annoying things for nothing.

He glared at Ha-yeon for a while as if he wanted to clearly engrave her face, then nervously turned around and left with the party.

They managed to overcome the crisis and everyone including Ha-yeon sighed in relief, but that was just a miscalculation.

Now, Aris’ background is not easy, and Gaon is there, so she retreated. In the moment of confrontation, he could feel the red-haired beastman constantly weighing him.

Perhaps the level of the guy is estimated to be 6 stars.
However, Gaon was able to hide his mana even from such an opponent, and he concluded that he was at least an opponent of the same level as himself and withdrew.

If Ha-yeon and the others were unlucky enough to encounter a group of beastmen, it was safe to assume that he died that day.

‘Your muscles are excellent. It’s a bit wasteful to just let them die.’

Gaon looked at Hayeon’s body and felt regret. He must have been exercising regularly, and his physical condition is very good. His limbs were long and his muscles were bulged just as they needed, giving him the ability to move flexibly and agilely.

However, it is not at a level that can compete with that number. It would be a big loss if he got involved in something pointless and lost Chorin.

He cut off his interest from Hayeon and looked at Aris, who was being scolded by Rijenny.

“My lady, what would I have done if something big happened!”
“Are you okay. Gaon oppa protected you.”
“That’s true, but don’t get involved in dangerous things. There is only one case in a million!”
“Okay, I was wrong. Let’s go faster than that. The coachman waits.”
“Whoa—I really can’t stop it.”

Jenny Lee let out a sigh at the attitude of going over, subtly mentioning the coachman, but she didn’t say anything more.

He just looked away and met Gaon’s eyes to express his gratitude.

“Miss Gaon. Thank you Thanks to that, I was able to escape.”
“It was nothing. It rides faster than that.”
“Yes.”

The rest of the party climbed into the carriage first and Gaon was about to follow them when he heard a voice from behind.

“Wait a minute!”

When she looked back, she saw that the woman who was called Joo Ha-yeon and her companions were approaching.

“… Are you calling me?”
“That’s right! Thanks for your help. Please tell others thank you.”
“All right.”
“Yes, then stop!”

Gaon hurriedly gave advice as he tried to turn around without regret after finishing the business.

“Be careful when going out of town. If you meet those beastmen outside, you will be in big trouble.”
“… Thank you. I will take your advice seriously.”
“That’s it.”

Although he gave advice, the chances of them following it are close to zero.

That’s because they have to earn money to live, and the most effective way for them is to hunt monsters.

Looking at the other members of the party, it seems that he has been hunting pretty hard.

They also know that they have to be strong to survive in the Union.

Even though Gaon knew that their lives depended entirely on luck, he didn’t bother to say anything more.

There are countless lives that are dying even at this moment. As long as Gaon can’t save them all, interfering with them will only be poison.

Gaon glanced at them once and got on the carriage.

“Here is the map. Information on the area searched so far is displayed, so please refer to it. And this is a flare. When it’s really dangerous, you should use it as a last resort.”
“Of course. Thank you for your consideration. Please pass it on to His Excellency, Viscount.”
“Yes. Then, please live up to the expectations of the head of the household.”

Butler Albert handed over the promised items and disappeared. As he watched the back of him go away, Aris, who was standing on one side and waiting, approached.

“Brother Gaon. Are you leaving now?”
“Yes. Young lady. Since I received the request, I plan to search the Devil’s Nest for about a week.”
“Is it a week? It must be uncomfortable to sleep because it’s a desert there…”
“Because mercenary work is originally like that. Then we’ll see you in a week.”
“Hmm… Yes. See you later. Can’t you get hurt?”
“Of course. Lee Cho-rin, let’s go.”

Gaon took Chorin, who was looking at Aris with wary eyes, and headed to the Devil’s Edge.

After passing through the western gate, I saw a wide-open granary area. Autumn was approaching, and the rice was growing properly.

And from the middle of that grain belt, it was covered with desert as if images of other places had been cut out. It is so vast that even if you extend your field of vision beyond the horizon, you cannot see its end.

Just looking at the desert, where not a blade of grass is visible, seems to tell you how tough this journey will be.

Chorin reacted with admiration as he saw the desert with jagged, rocky mountains rising everywhere.

“The desert is really big and wide. Is the Sahara desert like this?”
“Well. I’ve never been there, so I don’t know. Let’s go faster than that. The shelter hasn’t been built properly yet, so you’ll have to be homeless. Today, let’s find a place to stay while adjusting to the desert.”
“Ugh… It looks like it came back to when it was first brought from Earth.”

It must be annoying to go back to that time after enjoying civilization for a month. Even here, it was a desert where it was difficult to get water, so I said everything.

It was safe to say that there was no food, except for what they had brought separately. How can you find food to eat in this desert where only sand wafts tirelessly?

Looking at Gaon himself, I can see why it took two months to retrieve the artifact. Rather, why does two months seem short?

He opened the map, pointed to the location of the unscanned area, and led Chorin.

The sunbeams from the sky and the sandy bottom that sinks all the way to the ankles give the illusion of being drained of energy from the whole body.

I hadn’t even walked that far, but I felt more tired for no reason. Perhaps because it was the first time in the Chorindo desert, her face, which had always been bright and radiant, was gloomy as if a dark cloud had set.

How much did it take
It was a time when the sun slowly rose in the middle of the sky and hit the sun stronger than ever. In the distance, weathered rocks could be seen spread out like tents.

“Lee Cho-rin, let’s have lunch and rest over there.”
“Yes…”

With a weak reply they went into the shadows. Due to the nature of the desert, when the sunlight is blocked, the perceived temperature drops sharply.

As he entered the shade, Chorin’s eyes began to light up. Gaon took out a sandwich from his bag and held it out, seeing his sunken eyes twinkle no matter how many times he drank water from the canteen.

“Thank you.”
“It was nothing.”

Eating a sandwich is also the end of today.
I deliberately packaged it like this to make it easier to adapt to the first day, but from tomorrow I will have to fill my stomach with dried jerky and fruit.

Chorin must have been quite hungry, so he gobbled up the sandwich in an instant, like a crab closing his eyes. As she gulped down her canteen and watched the sweat wiping from her brow, she felt an unfamiliar presence approaching.

Gaon immediately stood up, clutching the spear he had set down beside her. Chorin was also taken aback by such a reaction and immediately stood up to draw out her mana.

“Are you a monster?”
“Yes. It looks like the one that Lady Aris called a fire lizard. Judging by the fact that they are bringing food, it looks like they are going to settle for lunch here. Let’s try out a new magic this time. I will draw your attention.”
“Yes! Please wait 10 seconds.”

As soon as Gaon finished talking, he turned around the rock and caught the guy who approached him in a square.

‘It reminds me of an animation featuring an electric rat.’

There, there was a guy with a fire hanging from his tail, and he looked very similar except that he crawled on quadrupeds.

Gaon looked for an opportunity, and when the distance was reduced enough, he jumped out and pierced the creature’s tail with a spear.
