Chapter 108 – 108. Subjugation of New Monsters (1)
“We inform you that the Master’s physical ability is 17% lower than usual.”
“… I know.”
“This object analyzes the cause of the deterioration of the master’s physical ability…”
“It’s still too early for a kid. Do not analyze.”
“This entity is not a child…”
The pretty girl’s eyebrows twitched, and the moment Emilia, the doll, tried to protest against her master, Eun-hyeon, her doll girl’s words were buried in someone else’s words.
“Brother, your complexion doesn’t look good, are you okay?”
“No. I had a bit of sleep yesterday…”
“Well, from the first day of the expedition, if you can’t manage your condition that much, it will be used.”
“That’s right.”
Inside the building of the Artia Knights, an adventurer approached and talked to Eun-hyeon, who was quietly waiting for the launching ceremony of the expedition.
Seeing Eunhyeon’s drawn face, an adventurer with a pathetic face was looking at Eunhyeon, clicking her tongue with a ‘tsk tsk’.
He couldn’t blame Illyana for not putting him to sleep, so Eunhyun only smiled bitterly.
“Would you like to try this potion? It acts as a nourishing tonic, and the effect is very awesome. Besides, it’s good for stamina, so even women are eager to buy it because it’s good for stamina. It’s very expensive, but it’s hard to see your face.
“No. It’s okay.”
Eun-hyeon pretended to be very generous and firmly refused the adventurer’s scheme to betray her by selling her potion, whose effect was unclear, at a high price.
A regular soldier belonging to the army belonging to the kingdom received 2 gold coins and 10 silver coins a month.
Two gold coins for a commoner is an amount that can sustain a family of three or four if used sparingly, but this adventurer is now trying to scam others with an absurd amount of half the monthly salary of an ordinary soldier. Instead of being angry, I laughed out loud.
The adventurer, who did not erase his shameless smile despite his trick being discovered, sat next to Eun-hyeon, who had just been trying to cheat, and looked at Eun-hyeon’s whereabouts.
“By the way, you can’t see any weapons, so is it right to participate in this expedition? What is the porter’s role? No, younger than that?”
“I am assuming this object is not a child…”
Eunhyun covered Emilia’s mouth with her hand, who once again uttered a voice of protest.
“No, it’s a combat job, but it’s not weak enough to worry about. In my own way, I can take care of one part of my body.”
“Under! All adventurers say that, even beginner adventurers who are less than a year old believe in their own strength and fall into the complacent thought that they will not die easily, but without the proper equipment, their bodies alone…”
The body itself seems to be quite solid, but the only belongings that Eun-hyeon has are the backpack lying next to her.
Thinking that he might be a rookie adventurer who lacks experience, he tried to eat him with a potion, but when he thought about it, doubts arose in the adventurer’s mind.
‘But how the hell did you get into this expedition… ?’
After rolling on this floor for nearly 5 years, even herself, who was quite well-rounded, was able to enter the monster subjugation expedition organized by Artia through a request from the Adventurer’s Guild.
This expedition, which preferentially accepted the top adventurers active with enemies in Pernin, had strict conditions attached.
Even though this meant that there was a huge risk, the big reason was that the competition intensified when the adventurers who had their eyes turned to the fact that the reward for this expedition was just 10 gold coins.
In other words, it was said that the man with silvery-white hair who looked unremarkable in front of the adventurers was also strong enough to participate in this expedition against the competition of numerous adventurers.
‘No matter how I look at it, I don’t look like that guy…’
Moreover, an adventurer bringing a child on a life-and-death expedition is, if alien, too heterogeneous.
For being a kid who underestimates adventure, it seems as if he knew about his potion fraud, and his snoring attitude makes him feel strangely relaxed.
There was no doubt that he was a suspicious man in many ways.
Uncaring at all for the blatant stare of the swindler adventurer looking at him with a questioning expression, Eun-hyeon turned his head and looked at the office of the knights.
“Your departure is delayed.”
“Yeah, what… Since you are an employer, it is not the circumstances of the superiors… Number? Where are you going?”
When Eunhyeon suddenly got up from her seat, the suspicious gaze of the swindler adventurer flew to Eunhyeon.
Eun-hyeon didn’t answer the rogue adventurer’s question, and just moved his steps toward his office.
A silver-haired girl wearing a beautiful black gothic dress followed Eun-hyeon.
“Oh, hey, bro! Third-rate adventurers like us can come in and out at will…”
The swindler adventurer who urgently tried to stop Eun-hyeon was unable to speak and was overcome with a sense of incongruity.
Normally, the selfish behavior of a rookie adventurer whose name is not well known is not tolerated.
However, not only did the knights not stop Eun-hyeon from entering the knights office without permission, but rather politely opened the door and let her in. Not only the swindler adventurers, but also some adventurers began to pay attention to Eun-hyeon.
“Hey, what the hell were you talking about with that person?”
An adventurer asked while holding onto the shoulder of the swindler adventurer who Eunhyeon had been talking to so far.
The adventurer who asked the question had a very stiff expression, so the swindler adventurer replied with a confused expression.
“I didn’t say much, but who is that?”
“What? Do you not know who that fucker is?”
“So who are you?”
“You’re a famous person these days! X who escaped the death penalty in the kingdom’s public trial! A witch’s lover!”
“… The person who just looked unsatisfactory?”
“Okay! What did you talk about I’m dying of curiosity, so tell me quickly!”
The swindler adventurer couldn’t hear the voice of other adventurers.
Hearing the words of another adventurer, the swindler adventurer intuited that the greatest crisis of his adventurer life had come at this moment.
If it goes into the ears of the black witch that she tried to swindle potions to none other than the witch’s subordinates…
“Ah, the fucking feet… It’s X…”
On the other hand, with the respectful permission of the knights, Eun-hyeon climbed the stairs and entered Riod’s leader’s office and found Riod and a woman arguing in full swing.
“I cannot allow it.”
“No! Let me join the expedition too! Mister! Please!”
“This is a public place. Call me Captain or Marquis.”
Seeing the two men arguing inconclusively over whether or not to participate in the women’s expedition, Eunhyeon figured out why the subjugation expedition had been delayed.
“How are you? Put it in.”
“Huh?”
Surprised by the man’s voice from behind, the woman opened her eyes wide and looked behind her, and when she found Eun-hyeon standing in front of the door, she made an even more surprised expression.
“You are… Erin’s… ?”
Seeing the face of Eun-hyeon, a woman with an intelligent and neat face wearing round glasses and neatly arranged braided hair that flows to one side, whom she had talked to several times, she was surprised by the appearance of an unexpected person. To build
“Long time no see. Professor Cecilia.”
“Yes yes… But how did Erinn’s guardian…”
Eunhyun bowed her head and said while looking at Rio de.
“Just let them participate, the more the expedition is delayed, the more we lose.”
“But she is a non-combatant, unfit for combat. Moreover, she is a noble of this country, and a valuable talent in the kingdom who is in charge of educating students in Aether. She can’t just let her go on a dangerous expedition. Her father, the Earl of Clarisse, also has objections.”
“Father’s will is irrelevant! I have to confirm the identities of those magic beasts. Please. Captain. I will not participate in the battle. I’ll be in a safe rearguard, so the synthesis the captain said… Please allow me to confirm the identities of the Chimera Witchbeasts.”
“There is no such thing as a safe rearguard on the road. Professor.”
“…”
Cecilia frowned and looked at Eun-hyeon at the harsh words that came from behind her, not from Rio de.
Cecilia, who had at least a certain degree of connection between Erin and Elvin’s homeroom teacher and her closest Erin guardian, couldn’t help her, but rather, she only seduced Eun-hyeon, who interfered with her.
“Didn’t you agree with me joining the expedition earlier?”
“That’s right, because there is nothing to be gained by delaying here any longer. Don’t you know that the knights and adventurers who are waiting outside are just waiting around.”
“Ugh…”
Cecilia couldn’t hide her embarrassed expression, as if she was aware of the pain that the expedition was being delayed because of her alone.
“As I said before, there is no such thing as a safe position or role on the road. If you make a mistake, there are not a few cases where the entire expeditionary force is annihilated as the rearguard is attacked by a monster from behind. That perception of the professor is wrong.”
“That…”
“Leod, I will protect Professor Cecilia’s safety. Even if the entire expedition is destroyed, don’t worry too much because she will make sure that she can escape with as much as the professor.”
“That’s not an efficient deployment of forces. You have to go to the front and fight.”
“Ah, I said I’d take it on, but it’s not me who’s going to protect the professor, it’s him.”
“Yes… ?”
When Eun-hyeon pointed her finger at her little girl in a gothic dress standing next to her, as if not understanding what Cecilia meant, she asked back.
Liod, who carefully observed Emilia with her eyes narrowed, nodded her head as if he couldn’t help it.
“Right. Is that the ‘golem’ that Illyana was talking about?”
“A-golem? A little girl like that?!”
“… It is stated that this object is not a crude and barbaric object like a ‘golem’.”
No one listened to Emilia, who was very unhappy with her treatment of herself.
“Good. I leave her escort up to you. I will leave Cain to take over her right away and go out.”
“Okay. Professor. Let’s go Before departure, we will check and check the items necessary for the expedition.”
Since she said she had come on her own despite her father’s objections, she obviously couldn’t have come to her properly prepared on her own.
“… All right.”
Cecilia put on a puzzled expression, unable to hide her bewilderment at the fact that a scuffle that had not been resolved until now had been put together so simply with Eunhyun’s words.
It seemed that something was not very clear in my head.
“You… Who the hell are you?”
“I don’t know what your question means.”
“Marquis Olivion is definitely a noble of this country. If other nobles see you treating such a person in a very friendly manner in short language, they will surely not look at you favorably. It’s the same with you, and it’s a bad tone for the Marquis.”
“Is that what the professor is saying?”
“Yes?”
“Wasn’t the professor using his personal acquaintance just now to persuade Captain Artia?”
“That… Case…”
As if Cecilia had caught her off guard, she is speechless.
“I know that the professor’s father, Count Clarisse, and the Marquis of Olivion are close friends. So I understand that it is a relationship where I can do that kind of request.”
“We… Do you know your father… ?”
“I have never met you.”
However, through Theresia, Eunhyeon had heard a detailed explanation of Riod’s position in the current kingdom and his human relationships.
“The professor’s behavior just now, even if he had no intention of doing so, was clearly a matter of embarrassing Captain Artia. He used his friendship to persuade me to participate in the expedition, and made it impossible for him to go out and had a bad influence on the entire expedition.”
“That… Whoa, that’s right.”
Apparently not fully aware of her own actions, Cecilia let out a big sigh and admitted her fault.
“I have to apologize to Mr. I thought too much of my own position, so I made it difficult for you to act recklessly.”
She couldn’t refuse her request and there was no reason for Leo De, who was being held on to, but she didn’t bother to mention it.
“Well, but…”
Cecilia, who was walking down the street with her, began to notice Eun-hyeon secretly.
“Something.”
“I have a favor to ask of you.”
“… Just tell me.”
Sensing something suspicious, Eun-hyeon nodded her head.
Soon, Cecilia’s eyes follow her Eun-hyeon and head to Emilia, who occupies the side of Eun-hyeon opposite her own.
“Hey kid, can I touch it just once?!”
Cecilia’s eyes, which discovered her new culture, began to shine, and Emilia’s eyebrows wriggled, holding on to her silver pants, trying to ignore Cecilia’s gaze. .
“If possible, I want to disassemble it… !”
“Bo, this object strongly requests the Master to withdraw from escorting the target in front of him!”
