Chapter 304 – To or Not to Do
Trisian thought he was obsessed with the disappearance case.
Regarding the case of a disappearance, a person equal to the captain of the guards is engaged in the scene. Commanders are at the forefront. That is very wrong. It’s a strange thing. It doesn’t make sense.
It is only when emotions are involved that people act irrationally. That’s why I guessed that it contained personal feelings, and that guess was correct.
When this happens, I can’t help but wonder.
Denevalve Trisian, why is she so obsessed with the disappearance of her senior?
She said that she was a respected senior, but how can a person become so tenacious and obsessed with just the feeling of respect for her?
She shook her head.
Anyway, that’s not it. Emotions are meaningless in front of time. Faced with the wind and waves of the years, it is gradually eroded away, and in the end, only the remnants remain.
Nevertheless, if it is an emotion that makes a person strong to this extent, is it love?
Denevalb Trissian said that she is a senior she respects, but I think her respect, respect, and love are the difference between a piece of paper in the end.
Denevalb Trissian, was she liking the missing senior?
If that’s the case, it’s quite understandable that she’s reacting so tenaciously to the disappearance of her senior.
Well, that’s it…
“But why are you giving us that information?”
The curious thing is this
Her previous disappearance in the Southwest Woods was something she did together because she was suspicious of us and offered to help her because I wanted to buy her a favor.
By now, she should have dispelled all her doubts about the Black Moon, so why is she talking about people disappearing from the forest to the northwest?
“Say it straight-forward. I want help.”
“Help? To us?”
If you help her Trissian, she will owe her a great debt. Buying her favor is also important. I like her, she likes her, and if I make her my girl, I’ll be able to make her connections with her lord of the West Way.
However, she is hesitant to say that she will help because she remembers the last time she ran into Drake.
At that time, I looked down on the situation and offered to help at will. As a result, he met an unexpectedly powerful enemy called Drake and the dragon race, and was in danger of death.
If it rained at the right time and Roin wasn’t in good condition, he wouldn’t have bought time by attracting the attention of the fine Drake.
If the Yongin tribe’s mastermind had been a little more cold-hearted, he would have beaten the guards who held Drake first.
If the Knights of Arpagon had not arrived in time, they would have been annihilated.
It was just luck that I was able to drive them out that day and survive.
“Why us? Shouldn’t we ask a mercenary?”
“I have already been to the mercenary guild. There is no one better than you.”
There’s no way that mercenaries with skills comparable to Nataliyana or Roin are common.
“And aren’t you mercenaries too? From my point of view, it would be easier for me to investigate if I knew someone.”
“That’s not wrong…”
Did they come to us after looking for a mercenary with good skills? That’s not wrong. However, as expected, I am hesitant because I remember the Drake incident from the other day.
Trisian, perhaps noticing my hesitation, emptied Natalya’s tea in one go and slowly got up.
“If the case of disappearances in the northwest for more than ten years is the same culprit, then he has already been there for more than ten years. He won’t leave abruptly. That’s why I still have some free time. Think about it slowly and let me know.”
“All right.”
I thought it was a bit too much to decide on my own, so I asked for opinions when everyone gathered in the evening.
“I am against it. The opposite!”
Germi lit a twin wick in her eyes and stood out against it.
“I went there once before and came back with a broken arm, but it was only yesterday that I recovered?! She really has no shame about that woman!”
“Crab, Gerumi. The words are too harsh…”
Thermia smiled bitterly at Germi, but Germi still showed no signs of removing the twin wicks from her eyes.
“Sister! You’re not wrong! I’m glad her arm is back. She could have been wrong! And a monster that ate people in one place for over ten years? Does it smell dangerous?”
“Hmm… But, leaving the debt to Trisian isn’t a bad option either.”
It was the old man who opposed Germi’s opinion. She crossed her arms and ran one hand over her chin.
“Above all, Trisian, you said you were a relative of the lord of the West Way? If her Hanseong uses her well, as she said, it could become a strong link with her lord.”
“It could be dangerous! What are you going to do if a monster like Drake appears again?!”
“Isn’t it an unusual situation to the extent that you get struck by lightning when you run into a master magician who works with two super monsters like Drake?”
Certainly there is truth in Roin’s words. No one at the time expected to meet Drake.
“Besides, according to Trisian-san, the monster lurking in the forest to the northwest is a monster that has eaten one or two people a month for over ten years… A strong guy like Drake wouldn’t have chosen such a shady and persistent method. Then it’s a story that isn’t strong, and it might not be as dangerous as you think. Then we can simply put our debt on Trisian.”
“Are you going to cross a dangerous bridge to get a profit?”
“It may be a bridge that is not dangerous. Maybe you can get it for free. If you feel the situation is not going well, just run away.”
The confrontation between the old man, who speaks leisurely and carefree, and Germi, who seems to have a lot of dissatisfaction, is fierce. Rather than persuading the old man, she might have thought it would be more convenient to go to a majority vote with the consent of others, so Germi turned her attention to Natalia.
“What do you think? Could it be dangerous?”
“Uh… I’m going to do what Hanseong-nim says…”
Natalya’s attitude of following only my opinion naturally turned Germi’s gaze toward me.
“What do you want to do? If you’re telling us that story, are you saying you also want to help Trician?”
When I first received the offer from Trisian, I thought of Drake and had similar thoughts to Germi, but after hearing what Roin had just said, my thoughts leaned that way again.
If it’s dangerous, wouldn’t it be okay to run away?
I’m sorry for being a thin-eared man.
“Hmm… To be honest, I have similar thoughts with Roin.”
“Oh my god… How long has it been since you recovered?”
As if shocked, Germi touched her forehead.
“I need a connection with the lord of the Westway.”
It has just started the textile business. If you have a connection with the lord, the owner of Westway, the largest trading city in the western part of the kingdom, there is nothing stronger than that.
And the person who provides a connection with the lord is Trisian.
Since it is a class-based world, it is very important to get acquainted with nobles.
Although Natalya is also an aristocrat, she left her home. The name Alexander is not easy to use.
“Expanding your business is important, and you need a strong backing. In that sense, the lord of Westway is very suitable. Since Trisian is the blood of the lord, it will be of great help in approaching the lord.”
Above all, getting acquainted with the lord and stepping into the aristocracy would be of great help in helping Natalia avenge the collapse of the Arpagon family.
Although the power of the Black Moon came into their hands, the influence of the executives was also strong, so it was difficult to handle it arbitrarily. And if the lord of the West Way feels even the slightest discomfort, the black moon might disappear with just one cough.
Because in this territory, he, the lord, is the law.
“Unni, Hanseong must be crazy. Let it dry.”
Thermia looked at me with a serious face.
“Hmm… Do you think Hanseong is necessary?”
“Necessary… Yes. As I said before, it will be of great help in making connections with the lord.”
“Then I agree. Don’t get hurt and come back.”
“Sister?!”
“Germi, you should be able to trust her husband.”
“How long ago did you trust and send her back after hurting her arm?!”
“But, strictly speaking, the fact that she injured her arm wasn’t because she was attacked by a monster, right?”
“That…”
At Thermia’s words, Germi shut her mouth.
Certainly, the fact that my arm didn’t move was a side effect of using mana-based body enhancement.
Despite encountering a powerful foe called Drake, he was beaten by a dragon woman named Fusil and did not see a single drop of blood except for her bruised areas.
“Miss Elena! Do you agree with Elena?”
Now Roin agrees from the beginning, and Natalya naturally agrees because she decided to follow my will. Even Thermia, which I had hoped for, agreed.
Is Elena the only last bastion Germi can trust?
