Resurrected Immortal 31

Chapter 31 – 031. Rescue Request (2)

“How are you?”

In a dark cave without light, a woman asked in a subdued voice.

“Not good. Her legs are all sore. It would be possible to heal with divine magic, but it would be impossible to fight right away.”

“Keugh…”

The man who heard that groaned and frowned.
When he looked at his broken leg with the help of a torch, the only light in the labyrinth where there was no light, he realized that his condition was even worse.
On the contrary, the broken calves and crushed feet showed very plainly that the man could no longer walk.
Looking at the man’s condition, all the woman could do was apologize over and over again to the man who had been injured.

“Sorry. Merdin, I really didn’t come here recklessly and secretly.”

“No. Lowering. It was because of my mistake. Don’t make that face.”

While being comforted by her man, the woman who was comforted by him, Princess Yuria Fernias, keenly realized that her own judgment was greatly wrong.
In order to protect Yuria from the attack of the monster rushing at tremendous speed in the labyrinth, the royal guard who was escorting him threw himself to save the princess, but he was unable to avoid the attack and his leg was directly hit by the attack. It was
In addition, the bigger problem was that one of the main forces in the party, which was composed of a small force of four, was unable to fight, which had no choice but to have a great impact on the party.
The fact that the three of them are out of battle, the archer and Yuria Fernias looking after the injured Merdin, means that only one party member is holding on to the dangerous monster that attacked the party.

Wow!

Every time the beast with a huge body roared and collided with the walls of the cave, the entire wall of the labyrinth shook and made a roar.
In the midst of the chaos, only one person was holding his sword and resisting the beast’s threat.

Oh oh oh!

The menacing roar of the massive beast filled the inside of the labyrinth.
Hearing the beast’s roar, YuRia also flinched and looked at Alex’s back standing in front of the beast with a stiff look, unsure of what to do.
The monster that Alex is facing is a bloody monster that protrudes from both sides of its mouth and pierces people with its bloody pointy tusks every time it charges, or pulverizes opponents with its overwhelming size. (BullBoar).

“Senior! It’s a big deal! I think I should join the senior side right now.”

The party of the princess who entered her dungeon was made up of a total of four people including her, a princess wizard, an archer, and two swordsmen. Except for the fact that there was no priest, the party was balanced to some extent.
In this situation, the absence of one of the vanguard among the small number of party members could lead to a major crisis.
In the middle of a battle with the Witchbeast, Alex, the only one who knows how much of a burden it is to face that powerful Witchbeast, is the wounded Merdin and Alex, who is looking for an opportunity to attack while avoiding the rush of the Bull Bore alone, which one to prioritize? It was an action taken after completing the calculation of whether it should be placed in .

“Sorry… Really… Because of me…”

While blaming herself like that, Yuria thought over and over again in her head.
That would be enough, she thought.
She thought it would be simple.
She is a person who believes in herself, and since she selected and brought people with her good skills even within the kingdom, she did not think that she would have any problems in clearing the dungeon.
He was full of confidence because he was perfectly prepared and prepared well.
When she was only thinking about the later task of clearing this dungeon and acquiring the artifacts to increase her own power, the appearance of that mysterious beast that attacked her party completely betrayed her expectations and expectations.
This crisis was not expected.
I hadn’t even thought of this variable.

‘Why… Is there something like that here?’

In this labyrinth he knew, such a monster had never appeared.
Why did such a monster appear in this labyrinth just now?
Was it complacency?
Even if I asked, the question that no one would answer did not disappear from my head and was constantly emerging, and I was just staring blankly at the two knights facing the threat of the Witchbeast.

◆ ◆ ◆

“So? Are you saying that Princess Yuria ran away from home?”

“It’s embarrassing, but it is.”

Three days ago, the princess of Fernias Kingdom, Yuria Fernias, left the palace with two escort knights and a magician.
It is said that no one knew her whereabouts in the palace because she did it without telling anyone her destination and purpose.
Even Eun-hyeon didn’t tell her where she was going, even to her mother, Helena Houby, I wondered if it was a problem for Eun-hyeon.

“So why are you asking me to solve the problem of your daughter’s runaway?”

“The message from Sir Alex, the royal knight who accompanied the child as an escort, is one of the reasons, but the biggest reason is that I thought I could trust you more than the nobles of this country.”

“I have no intention of getting caught up in a faction fight in the kingdom.”

Among the nobles of the Kingdom of Pernias, there are currently two factions divided into power struggles within the country.
The nobility of the ‘noble faction’ centered on Helena Hubie and the Duke of Armitas and the ‘royal faction’ centering on Queen Diane.
In fact, among the two sons of Queen Diane and Queen Helena, the faction is becoming more and more polarized and the scale of the fight is growing due to a power struggle over “Who should be crowned crown prince.”
In this situation, Helena Houbi’s daughter, Yuria, suddenly ran away from home.
Helena must have been looking for Eun-hyeon like this because she was worried that if the nobles of the opposing king’s faction knew this information, she might do some trick to Yuria.
Still, there were parts that I didn’t understand.

“My question was not answered. So, why did you ask me, and not a noble from the same faction?”

“Since the status of the royal family is a high position, there are many duties and responsibilities. It’s just that he is an immature child who has no intention of carrying out his duties and responsibilities as a member of the royal family… “

“Were you trying to use her daughter to solidify her support base through an arranged marriage with a high-ranking aristocrat from another country or kingdom?”

Eun-hyeon recalled a conflict in her head that could only appear in common novels and spoke of the possibility.

“The nobles of the aristocratic clique were already approaching Yuria for that purpose. The kid is under pressure for that so I guess he was planning something. He didn’t know it would lead to running away.”

“I was wondering if that was the case, but it was like that.”

‘How could it have happened? This.’

Eunhyun let out a sigh and listened to Helena’s words again.

“If this runaway case becomes known and even the same faction asks for help, they might ask for help as an excuse. It’s obvious when that happens. That is why he came to you.”

Because they cannot trust their own vassals, they rely on commoners who have no connection at all.
The commoner, Eun-hyeon, had already recognized his skill and value to some extent with the recommendation of Eleanor and Alex, who had already solved the whole story of the Baron Hersha case.

“I’m not asking you to do something about the kingdom’s major affairs. If you just send the child back to the palace without anyone knowing, that’s enough. Doesn’t it fit your purpose too? In that he should not be known to anyone.”

Helena’s point was correct.
For Eun-hyeon, who is extremely reluctant to reveal his identity to others, it was a request that suited his personality in that he had to solve this matter without anyone noticing.
Even putting aside the question of the difficulty of the request.

“It’s annoying.”

Eunhyun scratched his head and narrowed his brows.

“Princess, did Alex give you any clues about the location or anything else?”

“Clues can be provided by me.”

After Eleanor talked to Eun-hyeon, she grabbed a small tool from her arms and pulled it out and showed it to Eun-hyeon.

“This…”

“It’s an artifact for tracking. My brother gave me this before he left.”

“You’ve already made some preparations.”

“Yes. This artifact remembers the user’s magic power when the user infuses it, and the needle points to the place where the owner of the memorized magic is located even if it is far away. My brother imbued this artifact with his magical power to remember it, and handed it to me along with the paper containing this message. Maybe… I think you had a vague idea that this would happen.”

“Okay. All right. To be grateful… , Hmm?”

The moment Eunhyeon tried to receive the tracking artifact in Eleanor’s hand, Eleanor pulled back her hand holding her artifact and refused to hand it to Eunhyeon.
Eunhyun looked at Eleanor with a puzzled look on her face, wondering what she was doing.

“I’ll follow you too.”

“I can’t.”

The firm answer without hesitation made Eleanor frown as if she didn’t like her.
She listened to Eun-hyeon’s firm answer, but she didn’t back down an inch either.

“Why? I won’t be disturbed.”

“I’m in the way.”

“Oh… !”

Eleanor groaned as she spoke with an expression of blatant annoyance.

“Does the princess know where we are headed and what kind of threat there is?”

“No…”

“I don’t understand why you would step into a place like that yourself.”

“If I could say one word.”

Helena intervened in the argument between Eunhyeon and Eleanor.

“Personally, I don’t want to recommend actions that the duke’s daughter is putting herself in danger. But the gongnyeo is special.”

“Is it special?”

“The princess is a priest who specializes in divine magic by receiving the blessings of the goddess Vestia. I don’t know how much power you have, but if you take her princess, it won’t be a hindrance.”

“Even if it’s you, aren’t two of you better than one?”

Eun-hyeon stared at her without saying anything for a while, but she came to the idea that it would not be easy to overcome Helena’s supporting fire and Eleanor’s stubborn attitude of never backing down.

“I feel comfortable when I am alone. If the princess accompanies you, shouldn’t you be concerned about protecting her? If there are two of you, it’s twice as annoying.”

“I can protect my body.”

“I will throw it away if I find it a hindrance, and I can even sacrifice you if need be.”

“Does not matter.”

Eleanor responded immediately.
She knew very well that Eun-hyeon was not a good man who pursued justice or valued life.
Rather, he thought that he might be a better man for stealth and trickery than the nobles of the realm, and he knew that if it was really necessary he would give himself up ruthlessly.
But for some reason, she couldn’t get rid of the vague idea that Eun-hyeon would abandon her or create a situation where she would get rid of her.
He was a man who desperately defended himself from the warlock, although all of the dukes, including himself, suffered no damage due to his base, and it was an act of necessity.
He’s a man who can’t figure out what he’s thinking.
Eleanor made her think that from this moment on, she wanted to know more about the man named ‘She Eun-hyeon’.

“Whoa…”

Unable to break her determination, Eun-hyeon sighed and opened her mouth again.
It was a request that I didn’t like very much, but I couldn’t refuse it.

“All right.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

After confirming Eunhyun’s consent, Helena put on a relieved expression.

“Then, shall we move on to the issue of compensation?”

“You said you didn’t need any financial compensation. What do you want?”

“I don’t have anything that comes to mind right now.”

Eleanor frowned because she knew that Eun-hyeon’s grinning face was a blatant lie.
It was because I learned from two incidents at Aether school and at the duke’s mansion that Eun-hyeon with that expression was plotting something behind her back.

“Let’s put one on debt.”

“…”

Helena narrowed her eyes as if she didn’t know what Eun-hyeon was thinking and tried to find out what Eun-hyeon was thinking, but Eun-hyeon just smiled.

“Do not worry. Because I’m thinking of making a request that hubby-nim can listen to. I don’t make unreasonable demands.”

“Whoa… Great. I don’t know what you’re thinking, but it’s more urgent on my side, so I can’t help it.”

When Helena’s consent fell, Eunhyeon immediately nodded her head.

“Let’s get ready right away.”
