Chapter 72 – Choose to Do It or Not
“Can I accept that offer?”
Sword’s voice.
Baekmaju felt disbelief in his voice, but he never lost a smile on his lips.
Geomil was very dissatisfied.
What do you mean? It looked like a monster seed.
Geomil and Baekmaju succeeded in negotiating.
The White Horse told me that the person the old dragon Frostia was looking for would not come here, and the old dragon abandoned the golem without hesitation.
The golem collapsed on the floor like a doll with a thread cut off and was tucked to one side.
‘I know this guy, but I don’t know.’
Are you really going to take people to the monsters?
Usually, he seems to be straightforward and common sense, but when he sees it like this, he looks like a heavenly wizard.
Being like a wizard is never a compliment.
They are those whose desires are magic and knowledge, and they will do anything for that.
At least I believed that the man in front of me was a man of ethics… How should I evaluate this behavior today?
“Hey. Can I accept that offer? Don’t laugh, but tell me.”
“Oh, sorry. I was thinking about it for a while.”
Again, his thoughts.
The white mage shrugged his shoulders as Swordsman clicked his tongue and waited for an answer.
“You may or may not accept.”
“Is it a monster?”
“Eight monster kings. Can you see them simply as monsters?”
“No, what kind of logic is that?”
I admit it’s a special monster, but isn’t it a monster anyway?
“Most of them are more intelligent than the geniuses of mankind. Isn’t it intelligence that makes us humans superior to other creatures? Then, do we have the right to disparage them as monsters?”
“I don’t want to discuss philosophy with you.”
“Huh-huh. I see it. I guess so.”
Geomil said, looking at this human with eyes wondering what he had done wrong.
“Are you smiling well today?”
“I can’t help but feel good. Yes… If I had to answer the question earlier…”
The white horse thinks of an answer.
‘Did you just give a rough answer?’
When you’re tired, you feel thirsty.
Feeling heartbroken, Geomil silently gulped down the alcohol on the table.
“Are you mad?”
“Take a look.”
“I’m sorry. Meeting the god of magic is so much fun. Fufufu…”
“The god of magic is a piece of shit. He doesn’t use magic at all.”
That regeneration is not magic. It’s probably a dragon.
However, the white mage seemed to have a different opinion.
“I’d like to point it out, but doing so would deviate too much from the original question, so I’ll answer your question first. It’s okay to sign a contract with Frostia.”
“Why?”
“At least because she’s not active in destroying this world.”
“What?”
Are you not active?
A monster’s instinct would be destruction.
Besides, the incarnation of Askatlov, the same Eight Demon Kings I saw before, was like an incarnation of destructive instinct.
I heard from the white mage that Askatlov is at least a being with whom I can communicate. The incarnation of such a being is that shape.
How much did Swordwork realize the inability of monsters and humans to coexist?
“That’s why I said he’s not a monster? He’s the king of monsters. The reason he’s called the King of Monsters is because of people’s fear of his mighty power.”
Are you calling him now? The spirited Geomil took another gulp of water and said while gently wiping the water from his chin.
“Even if that’s true. Then, are you going to let one die?”
“Hmm?”
“That guy called Dre. Frostia told me to bring him. I don’t know what the plan is, but it’s not a good idea, is it?”
“Yeah, I’ll die.”
At the answer without hesitation, the dumbfounded swordsman soon distorted his face.
“Hey…”
“Acquiring the information of the existence of Frostiana with that one life is to greatly advance your dreams and mine. A lot of people can be saved with the sacrifice of one person.”
Baekmaju was still excited.
The pleasure of sword work was infinitely annoying.
She had been with this person for a long time, but she felt it was time to part ways.
“You mean to pursue efficiency? Like a wizard?”
The White Wizard shrugged his shoulders.
He recognized that Geom-il was quite disappointed and that he was quite agitated, and straightened his posture.
“It was a joke.”
“What. It seemed like he was serious.”
“I’m half sincere, too.”
“Hey…”
Second hey
Geomil was annoyed.
“Think about it. Even though it’s an incomplete advent, it’s an existence that blocked her Frostia, but will you come back against her weakened who doesn’t know if she will return soon because her advent rate is gradually dropping?”
“…That’s right.”
“No. I’ll probably lose.”
Does this bastard want to play puns with me?
When I shot him with a disgruntled face, the white horse giggled.
“I heard about his technique from Frostia… I don’t know what the principle is, but there can be no penalty for such invincible power.
That was something that Geomil also agreed to.
It’s not a normal skill to withstand an elder dragon’s attack.
What they both overlooked here was that there was something Frostia didn’t say because of her pride.
That he had withstood his last big fight.
It was clear that the evaluation of the white mage would be different if he knew that.
“I can’t use it carelessly, but when it’s time to die, I can’t stop using it. Still, I think it’s possible for that Dre to run away from Frostia-sama in case of emergency.”
“Hmm…”
It seemed that he had no intention of letting Dre die.
“And these assumptions are all useless in the first place.”
“What? Why?”
The white mage looked at Geomil’s face as if he was serious.
“Dre and Frostia made a pact. There’s no way they can kill each other, is there?”
“…Ah.”
Why did you eat it
I must have forgot because the wizard in front of me was acting so thick.
Feeling ashamed, Geomil drank alcohol for no reason.
“Anyway, Frostia is called the Kaiju, but she’s infinitely intelligent and doesn’t recklessly destroy anything. She’s perfect for dealing with. At least in terms of swordsmanship, I think that Frostia-sama is better than your trading partner.”
After him, are you going to stick with you now?
Even though he clicked his tongue inside, Sword Work was the same as his words.
Geomil’s trading partner… It was because he lacked humanity.
‘Isn’t that word appropriate? What should I say…’
As I was frowning at the thought of my trading partner, the white mage urged me on.
“Eat quickly. I want to go to Sersu quickly.”
“Meet Dre? How?”
“I have connections.”
“Connections. All of them are good, but aren’t you an instructor at Pryunar Academy? If you look at his authority, would a guy with qualifications comparable to that of the king of a country carelessly meet you?”
Geomil recalled the instructors.
The words are instructors, but the reality is that they are talented people who are said to be within the world.
They are monsters that can only be dealt with at the highest level of strangers.
And eight days became a member of such an instructor.
A stranger who was hated by the people of this world for being so corrupt was the first person to be qualified as an instructor.
I don’t know, but it must be a big topic.
Will there be time to meet?
The White Horse shrugged his shoulders and said.
“I’ll have to use my connections as much as possible. You’re sitting in the front seat of the White Tower for a time like this.”
“Joy.”
When Baekmaju acted so calmly, it meant that there was a way to do everything, so Geomil didn’t worry anymore.
Personally, I was more interested in Dre than Frostia.
From what I’ve heard, he’s an outrageous good man.
After hearing the circumstances from Frostia, he guessed roughly what had happened.
‘Sacrificing for others in the face of death. He’s a great guy.’
Geomil feels a sense of familiarity with a stranger he has yet to see.
He might be even more so, since there aren’t many normal ones out of the ones who came to this world until the end.
“The problem is the teenage family…”
“Ah, sure, those guys are strong in many ways.”
Geomil recalled the head of a family that handles darkness among teenage families.
Head of the Boyd family, who manages the forest where Askatlov lives.
He had been nearly killed by the man before.
I didn’t think I could win even now, when I got stronger.
The artifacts they deal with are similar to the perks that strangers receive from the gods, and they have something special about their blood and skills.
‘It’s not that important.’
Maybe the teenage family will wrap around Dre who caught Frostia.
Seeing that the news of the descent of the perishing dragon did not spread, it seemed that they had limited the information.
Baekmaju thought for a while before saying.
“I’ll have to stab the heart.”
“Well, it must be on bad terms with Dre, who has a heart.”
It would be hard to get along with them since they said they crushed the royal knights of the heir of the Heart family.
“That’s ambiguous. It’s true that he took a picture of a knight called Julis and pressed it, but there are also rumors that the gold called him big brother.”
“Hyung-nim. Didn’t you say it with pretense?”
“I’ve personally seen a man called Gold. He’s a man with a bowl to speak of. He hates ostentation. I’m sure that won’t happen.”
A fairly high rating.
“What are you going to do?”
“I don’t know about gold, but Galde is a man who only works by calculating profit and loss. There are many corners to poke.”
“…”
From the perspective of Geomil, Baekmaju seemed to have gone to the flower field.
That was the right idea.
Baekmaju thought that if he could get the favor of the magic god and make friends with him, he might be able to learn his magic.
And if she makes her mark with the information she gets from her… She will be able to make her grand dreams come true.
‘Yes, just one…’
“But there’s something I’m concerned about.”
“What?”
“That… Frostia or something, is that a woman?”
“…”
The White Wizard narrowed his eyes.
“No, you keep calling her dragon her…”
“It’s up to you to think.”
“What is that again…”
Suddenly, the white horse shook her head.
“Even if you’re a woman, you won’t be able to hold Sword Day.”
“Sir! I didn’t say it with that kind of intention! Do you think I’m a bastard bastard from the Golden Sun Clan?”
An angry swordsman stroked her chin.
“But those bastards. Rumor has it that even monsters commit crimes without hesitation. Would that be the case with a kaiju-level being?”
“Even if you use all of their prize-related skills at once, it won’t work on Frostia-sama. Rather, you’ll get chewed up. Probably, very painfully.”
“…I’d like to see that.”
Recalling the human scum that would have been sliced and killed long ago had it not been for the restraint of the trading partner, Geomil drank again.
At that time.
Bang!
Someone slammed a glass of wine on the table.
When I turned my head, a rather large warrior with a sword on his back was staring at them with a red face.
“…”
“Hmm.”
The Sword Master silently glared at him, and the White Horse stroked his chin.
Who is that
It’s only better if it’s a barber who doesn’t know that the opponent is a stranger, a top ranker, and a white tower owner, and starts a fight.
It’s a little annoying if it’s a check force that attacks you even if you know it.
For example Swordsman and White Mage. The nobles of the country the two belonged to, or the hostile strangers.
“Hey Ben! What are you doing!”
A fighter who appeared to be his colleague ran up and tried to drag him away. However, the man called Ben was barely holding on to being dragged without moving.
The martial artist’s power seemed to be stronger than expected.
Looking at it, it seems like a simple drunk.
“Ha…”
As a swordsmith, a sigh comes out of nowhere.
Is this again
I didn’t have good memories at Pryunar Academy, so I was reluctant to go to this country. I rarely came to Enthiaer.
As a result, there are people who do not recognize the famous sword work called ‘Continental Sword’.
To think that a drunk bastard is having a fight.
I thought about how to beat swordsmanship well… On the other hand, I was excited.
When the adventure started, there were quite a lot of disputes like this, perhaps because the sword work seemed clumsy, but after becoming strong enough to be worthy of envy, there was almost no such thing.
That moment.
“You guys… Are you going to Dre?”
At that, the two looked at the man at the same time.
“You know Dre?”
“I know! I don’t know!”
Bang!
He slammed the glass on the table again, splashing the drink, but neither of them cared.
“There was no one as strong in love as him! I’m friends with him!”
“Huh. Friend.”
Geomil turned around.
“What’s Dre’s friend doing to us?”
“…Aren’t you curious about him?”
“I’m curious.”
Geomil was dumbfounded for a moment, wondering if he was thinking of selling information even though he was a friend.
However, the warriors who followed soon after. I couldn’t help but laugh at Bentler’s words.
“Buy me a drink. Then I’ll tell you all the stories he did here. Oh, no personal secrets.”
“Hmm…”
Sword work happened slowly.
And as I rummaged through my arms, I found a blue circular space. A portal was created and a sack came out of it.
When he overturned it on the table, countless gold coins poured out.
Charrrr
The bar became quiet for an instant, and the moment the owner swallowed his saliva with greedy eyes, Geomil spoke.
“I shoot all day today! Owner! Work!”
“Brother! It’s hot!!”
Aaaaa!
The bar shook.
Baekmaju is Ben with the same poker face. That said, he offered Bentler a seat.
It won’t give you much useful information, but it will give you a sense of what Dre is like.
Knowing who you are is helpful in many ways.
‘It’s like a strategy in battle.’
It was such a noisy night.
And…
In the distance, a bat was silently watching the bar…
***
To begin with, I couldn’t get into Prunar Academy.
As expected, the academy was on top of a giant tree on a floating island, and there was a transparent elevator going up there.
I was excited about what kind of elevator it was, but the entrance was cut.
Is it because of me
Sullen.
I was downcast, but the clerk who managed the entrance hurriedly added, perhaps noticing it.
“No, no one except the assistant principal is allowed in right now.”
“I heard that the only thing destroyed was the site managed by the Vice Principal?”
“I heard that the whole school is very dangerous because there is a magical problem.”
A stumped office worker.
He didn’t even dare to look at his gold face, as if he was just an ordinary civilian.
Gold is usually cool too! I would have turned around, but now I was a bit persistent.
“What should I do? A self-proclaimed younger brother expects big brother, but he says he can only see him from afar?”
“Shut up El.”
“Shut up, Gold.”
Oh, was it because of me?
I grabbed Gold’s arm.
“It’s okay. I’ll come when the situation calms down.”
“But…”
“I think walking around with Gold-nim would be more fun.”
“…”
Suddenly, Gold turned around and looked down at L triumphantly.
El bang! Bang! Stomping her feet, she gnashed her teeth.
Stop fighting…
Something unpleasant happened today, so I decided to go back after looking around the shopping district some more.
It wasn’t that there was no harvest.
It was unexpected, but it was because I could guess why this Fryunar Academy was destroyed.
A destructive force felt from afar.
It wasn’t the person himself, it was just a remnant of his power, but he couldn’t be mistaken.
That intense power.
Because that was Frostia’s power.
…Why did that lizard come all the way here?
Would you like to meet me? Oh no
***
“I’m back!”
“Ohhh! Son is here!”
For some reason, Gald was delighted with the return of his son, who seemed happy enough to speak in a casual way.
It seems that going out with Dre was quite enjoyable.
As a father, she was worried that she would be able to spend her few days off as a guest, but she was fine with healing herself.
“There are many things I want to talk about today. First of all, is there anything I want to know about Laiet… Hmm?”
Gold’s gaze went over Gald’s desk.
Gald hurriedly covered Gold’s gaze with his heavy body.
“Ehhh. Son. How about we talk while eating delicious food after a long time?”
“Ummm… That’s good!”
Gold obediently followed his words, considering his father’s dignity even though he would be bothered.
But even so, his eyes were on the papers on the table that Gald was trying to cover. It was nailed to the regular report sent by Grise.
Widely.
After closing the door and leaving, Gald sighed in relief and cast a resentful glance at the papers on the table.
He strides over, picks up the papers, and sighs again.
There it was written:
[Regular report
Confirmed the stranger Continental Sword Ganggeomil and White Maju in Mirf Village, presumed to have contacted Frostia, and heard information about eight days from Adventurer Guild 6th Class Adventurer Bentler Boga at the bar.
Currently, their purpose is presumed to be contact with the stranger Dre.
‘The Stranger Killer’ Almiraj is keeping an eye on the sword and the white horse. You don’t seem to know much about Dre yet.
All three of the above are coming to the capital, Sers, so be careful.
I’ll take care of it from here.]
I was just worried about what the heck I was going to do.
“What are you going to do, Leo?”
The Continental Sword, the Baekmaju, and… The notorious ‘Stranger Killer’ Almiraz gathered together.
It seemed like a storm was about to break out.
***
It’s the first time in my life.
To meet a man, not even a date, but to go to a government office and think about what to wear for a day.
“…Ayy.”
Although Ashita was heartbroken by the fact, she was choosing her clothes, looking forward to meeting Dre tomorrow.
