Smith， a Black Company in Another World 1106

Chapter 1106 – Ep.1104 Smith, a Black Company in Another World

The best and strongest card I can pull out in the current situation.

“Please again. “Please inform Ardel and Giena of my location.”

Wherever you are standing on the earth, the world tree that supports this continent is within the palm of her hand. Although she didn’t say anything, she probably continued to watch me even after we parted ways in the forest.

“Please.”

Having said that, I gave power to the sign again and hid my presence.

If it had been a more remote forest, it might have been open like this, and since Nuit, who is suspected of being connected to the Federation in some way, has taken over this place, it would be difficult for even her to show herself hastily.

Of course, if you attack it head-on, it will overwhelm Nuit and all those who call themselves gods. She said so herself in the forest, and when I judged her, she who supported this continent seemed to be a much more remarkable and high-ranking being than people like Lapitera, who called themselves gods.

Nevertheless, the reason she said it was difficult for her to appear in this place was because of the forest oath made when the elves were defeated in the past tribal war.

‘You will let me know.’

If I’m not mistaken, she saw me from the moment I was kidnapped to the two days I was trapped underground. She did not help in times of crisis for the reasons explained above, but due to her personality, if I did not directly ask for help, she would never step forward and help even if she was faced with death.

That’s because, out of all the women I’ve had sex with, she’s almost the only one who hasn’t given me her heart.

To be precise, the biggest reason is that, like her father-in-law, she sees me as a stranger who suddenly leaves here with her precious daughter.

The only way to open her heart is to receive her new branch from the real World Lord, an executive of our company who has never seen her face, and free her from her duties.

In other words, no matter what I do right now, it is impossible to completely win her heart.

‘But it will definitely help you.’

She was certainly ruthless, but she was not emotionless.

I got up from her seat and brushed the dirt off her body, believing that she would somehow convey my location to Ardelgwagi.

‘Is it real from now on?’

The fact that I was kidnapped isn’t really that important. I explained to my wives in advance that a situation like this could arise, and I actually escaped on my own.

What’s really important is finding Ardella, whose whereabouts are unknown.

The reason I left Mallingta and the sole purpose of this journey must be achieved. As long as Ardella’s location is known, escaping from here is no problem for me as you can see now.

‘Is it important to memorize the route first?’

As it is characteristic of palace-style buildings, they were all quite tall. Thanks to this, I decided that it wouldn’t be that difficult to come back here unless it was quite a stray.

Even if I didn’t know anything else, I was confident in my memory.

“The passage… Was it over there?”

After returning to the covered area, the first thing I did was run lightly in the direction of the secret passageway I had dug so hard to find out exactly where I was trapped.

“Wow, the digging took quite a long time.”

I stopped walking when I started to feel slightly out of breath.

I didn’t find anyone or anything special, but I felt a great sense of déjà vu from the scenery I was looking at.

It’s definitely the first time I’ve seen this scenery, but I guess I should say it doesn’t feel strangely unfamiliar.

“Ah.”

As I was looking at the overly grand palace, I remembered where I had seen similar scenes.

If my memory is not wrong, I remember that the palace where Marvius lived was definitely in this shape.

“That means…”

I took the steps I had stopped and carefully approached the unnamed palace.

I opened my eyes and looked around the outside of the palace, but as expected, there was nothing that caught me off guard. Unless I had a breakdown, this palace was definitely an empty building.

‘There are doors and windows, but they are all closed…’

Since there is no one around, just open the door normally and go in without worrying about what others might notice. But it didn’t.

Although it is a medieval fantasy world, there were several tools comparable to modern times, one of which is a crystal ball for communication.

The cheap ones only have the ability to transmit sound, but if you double the price, you can even share the surrounding scenery like a video call.

‘There’s nothing wrong with being careful.’

There is no reason to go inside and look inside when there is no one in the first place.

If you’re really curious, you can quickly show your face at the next meal time, run like crazy through the secret passage before they leave, and come back here and wait for the door to open.

As long as you go inside, it is not that difficult to find the location of the hidden crystal ball, so getting out is not a big problem.

‘That’s enough here.’

I roughly guessed the time based on the tilted angle of the sun, and it seemed to be a little after 3 o’clock. Considering that it is winter now, there are at most two hours until sunset.

‘That’s enough.’

The opportunity isn’t just today, so there’s no need to go out of your way to do so. First, my goal today is to meet people, and then find and take the watch. I decided on these two things and moved on.

**

Fortunately, it didn’t take long to meet someone.

As I walked along the straight path, as expected, the entrance I had to pass through before entering the palace area appeared, and two knights wearing silver armor stood guard on either side of the entrance.

I walked right in front of the knights who were standing like stone faces and looked at their clothes.

The symbol of a griffon spreading its wings and stepping on a large shield engraved on the left chest area where the heart is.

‘I still can’t tell even after looking at it.’

As expected, I saw the pattern engraved on their chests, but since I had no knowledge about it, it didn’t give me any clues.

‘Wait.’

The very moment I decided that there was nothing to gain, a flash occurred in my mind.

‘That unlucky bastard will also pass by here, right?’

If you were heading to the palace inside through this place, this was a unique opportunity. If he passes this way to bring you food, and gets here before he leaves, it is possible to follow him.

I don’t know, but if I follow him, I’m sure I can save something.

Even if that wasn’t the case, just being able to see the damn guy’s face was enough to make the plan worth putting into action.

‘The watch wasn’t important.’

I boldly gave up on the watch and decided to stay here until the sunset.

“”…””

It would have been nice to chat about something, but no matter how much time passed, the two beauties with cold looks did not move from the position they had been in for the first time, and stayed so quiet that you could not even hear their breathing, let alone open their mouths.

‘It’s slowly coming in.’

As I sat nearby and spent time soaking up the sunlight that I had not been able to get while trapped underground, the bright blue sky was already turning orange.

‘It’s a disaster.’

Even though the end of the sky, which had been colored orange, began to turn bluish again, they did not show up. But it wasn’t very disappointing.

As I sat on the floor and thought about it, I realized that if I was going to chase after him, it didn’t have to be here.

If the goal was to chase after him, all he had to do was arrive at the palace before he left the palace. He warned himself several times not to get excited, but it didn’t seem to work for him.

They say that when people get excited, their horizons narrow and their thoughts become simpler, and that’s exactly what I am doing right now. If he had the leisure to do so, he would have noticed this the moment he found the empty palace.

‘Be calm. Smith.’

I took a deep breath, exhaled a couple of times, and stood up. From the moment I got out of the underground, the opportunity to attack was already within my grasp.

I asked Sil for help, and as long as Ardel and Gienna arrive, searching this castle will be no problem. Since the two could even manipulate spirits, it was possible to look into hidden secret spaces without difficulty.

Of course, as I believe that ‘absolute’ does not exist in life, I have no intention of just waiting for help from those two.

Not only can we not rule out the possibility that this is not the Vittorio Kingdom, but the capital of a completely different kingdom. Now that we don’t know what situation Ardella is in, it’s time to move to find out Ardella’s location without being detected, rather than just waiting for her help.

‘… They won’t help you that far.’

If Sil had been willing to fully cooperate with me, she would have given Ardel’s information more clearly than when she first contacted me in the forest.

But she didn’t, and I thought she would definitely stick to the same position this time.

“I guess I’ll have to hurry up a bit.”

Once the color started to change, I looked up for a moment at the sky, which was turning black at an uncontrollable speed, and then ran toward the garden.
