A Reincarnated Person With a Sub-Dimension

Episode 19

I faced Wilmot.

Due to the height difference, Wilmot had to look up at me.

Wilmot looked into my face for a moment before opening his mouth.

“Did you say Ian? I thought you were a little older because you had a nice physique. How old are you?”

‘Do you know me?’

Wilmot was the first to be inferior.

I didn’t feel good when I saw it and said it was half-hearted.

I was contemplating whether to reply with the same short words, but when I saw Wilmot’s wrinkled face, I decided to just move on.

‘I look like my father, so I put up with it.’

It wasn’t awkward even though they were father and son on the outside, so it was a bit like letting go of words together.

“…Seventeen.”

“?”

“I turned seventeen this year.”

Wilmot’s eyes twitched at the delayed reply.

“Uh… yes. Answer a little quickly. Anyway, judging from your face, you seem to have grown up quite precious. At that age, if you’re in the third rank, you must have talent, and you’re just full of confidence. Do you have any hunting experience?”

“I’ve caught wild animals a few times.”

A light of suspicion flickered in Wilmot’s eyes.

“Then what about monsters and beasts?”

“I haven’t had a chance to meet you yet.”

“Could this be your first round trip?”

“yes.”

When it became true, Wilmot let out an absurd laugh.

“Huh, this is true. I thought it was a chick, but it wasn’t even an eggshell.”

Wilmot glanced at Thalia with a puzzled expression before continuing.

“I’m a newbie and I don’t go far. Not to mention particularly gifted young people. Their characteristics are that they don’t like my pride and endanger my colleagues. I’m not saying you’re saying that, but I’m telling you to listen. It sounds right.”

Wilmot stopped talking and glared at me.

After a brief snowball fight, Wilmot opened his mouth.

“Anyway, there’s no need for long words, just keep in mind one thing. The most important thing in Wonhaeng is cooperation with colleagues. Don’t try to do anything alone, just follow my instructions and you’ll be fine.”

Wilmot said as if he were the captain.

“Originally, there are many cases in which newbies go around by themselves and get hit and run and get hit and run.

“Oh yeah?”

“Yes. So, don’t rush out and make things happen, just listen to me. Got it?”

Wilmot had a tendency to be a boss and even had the temperament of an old man.

I don’t know what they mean, but the intention itself seemed to be in the sense of trying to do well.

However, as I quietly listened, I could feel that his facial expression became more and more explicit and looked down on me.

First impressions play a huge part in forming human relationships.

It was obvious that they would see me as water after I just said yes.

‘I’d better press it once.’

Just because I’m going to hide my power doesn’t mean I’m dead enough to be ignored.

It seemed necessary to reveal strength in an appropriate line to form a balanced relationship.

“Okay. But I couldn’t even say hello properly. How about a handshake?”

I took off my right glove and held out my hand.

When he raised his head slightly, his eyes completely looked down at Wilmot.

Wilmot raised an eyebrow as if he sensed something in my tone and demeanor.

“hahahaha. This guy is in good spirits.”

Wilmot smiled heartily and held hands.

I didn’t have a hobby of holding a man’s hand for a long time, so I gave strength to my hand right away.

“Grunt.”

Immediately, Wilmot let out a moan.

Gradually added strength to the grip.

As a result, Wilmot’s face turned red every moment.

From noble mtl dot com

nodded

Wilmot clenched his jaw as if the pain was unbearable.

I looked at Wilmot with a relaxed expression.

Wilmot’s eyes seemed so disbelievable.

‘I don’t understand.’

Using mana in this situation is like trying to fight a duel.

We were competing only with pure physical strength.

I can’t tell exactly because it’s hidden by his clothes, but at first glance, Wilmot’s forearms were twice as thick as mine.

However, when I was pushed unilaterally by a slender-looking me, the embarrassment was evident.

Sweat began to seep from Wilmot’s brow, as if the pain was intense.

Pushing further here would only arouse resentment.

I finished the handshake by relaxing my hand.

“I will leave it up to you.”

Wilmot looked at his trembling hands and repeatedly opened and closed his fists.

The sluggish movements made it seem that the strength in his hands was not working well.

“…Young friend’s strength is good. Anyway, let’s do our best.”

Perhaps embarrassed to have lost in the power struggle, Wilmot went straight back to Talia without saying anything.

Thalia and Wilmot continued their conversation.

After a while, Wilmot, who led a larger group, decided to take over as captain, and an expedition was formed.

Even though he is a captain, he has a strong personality as a leader, so we decided to proceed with important matters under consultation.

Having set our destination, we moved immediately.

Before leaving the border wall, he reported the personal details of the expedition and the approximate itinerary to the mercenary agency staff in front of the gate of the outer wall.

If a large number of mercenaries who have traveled to a specific area do not return.

It was a measure to prepare for the danger by recognizing that problems such as the inundation of monsters or the invasion of demon beasts had occurred and dispatched regional reconnaissance missions.

After leaving the border wall, the endless rolling hills came into view.

The low mountains, which seemed to be around 100 meters high at most, seemed to be easy to move around because the trees were sparsely grown.

The area north of the border wall is home to countless rivers and lakes, including the mighty Illinois River.

Based on these abundant water sources, countless animals and plants grow and prosper in the vast grasslands and lush primeval forests.

As they went up to the north, water sources were abundant and animals and plants prospered accordingly, and accordingly, the stronger the monster species, the more food was abundant, the deeper the northern part became its territory.

At the head of the party were Wilmot and two men.

They made loud gestures and continued their conversation without stopping.

If you listen to the contents, most of them were trivial things about where to go to play and eat with the money earned from this expedition.

Fumi was followed by Alana, Kate, and two men who seemed to have a crush on them.

Men brushed their teeth at Alana and Kate endlessly.

Alana and Kate responded with a small smile, whether they had good personalities or they liked men.

There was no great danger for a day or two from the border, so everyone moved while talking comfortably.

As I walked with Thalia, I asked questions about Won-Jung.

“It will take about ten days to get to the troll colony. Until then, we’ll follow the goblin colony.”

“Then the schedule is one month, but it takes twenty days just to travel?”

“That’s right. And even if you arrive at the troll habitat, it will take another few days to find the troll. The itinerary of the trip is determined by how quickly you find a suitable troll to hunt here.”

It was when I nodded to Talia’s words.

“By the way, the equipment looks a bit heavy. Can you keep going at this speed?

“Don’t worry. I’m confident in my stamina.”

Despite my calm reply, Talia couldn’t hide her worried eyes.

A day has passed since I left.

Currently we are fully into the goblin habitat.

Even monster species are reluctant to live in places close to the border due to the barren environment and lack of food.

Most of the demon servants who have been pushed to this point are old or injured and have been kicked out of the group, so they will be busy running away rather than attacking us.

However, from the moment you leave the border, you must not be vigilant.

The meat of a beast species is like poison to other beast species, so when they meet each other, they ignore each other and pass by.

There was plenty of food, but there was no reason to fight while watching blood.

For that reason, it often happened that super-large beasts living deep in the north traveled south and came near the border as if on a cruise.

It’s been three days since I left.

I still haven’t met the magician.

Instead, they encountered mercenaries who were searching for hunting in the middle, mostly young or young-looking, with two or three of them.

Beginner mercenaries mainly hunt goblins to safely accumulate mission points.

However, the smaller the beasts, the more wicked and cunning they were, so many novice mercenaries were killed by the goblins’ traps or ambushes.

It’s been a week since I left.

Unlike the first time, we were moving in formation.

In fact, there was nothing special about Jinhyeong.

Wilmot’s group was in the lead, me and Talia were in the rear.

The sun went down and we prepared for camping with our backs to a rock the size of a house.

Goblins are nocturnal, so the darker it gets, the more vigilant you must be.

There had been a goblin attack two days ago, but since all of the party were third-tier samurai, there was nothing too dangerous.

We lit a bonfire to beat the cold overnight.

Goblins have an excellent sense of smell, so their location will inevitably be exposed the moment they start a bonfire.

So, vigilance was absolutely necessary.

The night shift was divided into four groups, each standing for two hours.

I had a first date with a guy named Nick, who seemed very dissatisfied with the goblins.

“I wonder where these rats that don’t even have real money come out like this.”

Goblins are literally rat-like fertility to the point that even the Orcs say go away.

Nick said in a low voice so as not to wake the sleeping people.

“How is it? Can I adapt? When I first started this job, I bought a big shield without knowing anything. I did. Heck. The shield looks quite heavy, isn’t it hard?”

“It’s a bit tiring, but it’s bearable.”

“They train every time they rest. Maybe it’s because they’re young, but they seem to have great stamina.”

I trained lightly between breaks to get used to the weight of the equipment.

Some people laughed at me, saying that I would get tired and unable to keep up after training like that, as if they had estimated the weight of my equipment.

However, as the rest and training were repeated, the people who had ridiculed me at first looked at me with surprised eyes from some point on.

Nick was one of them.

“Are you okay Nick?”

“It must be difficult. But after a few years, I got used to it.”

We walked without rest except for the time to eat and sleep.

It was only natural that they would get tired even with the help of mana, since everyone was wearing equipment weighing tens of kilograms and moving.

Time passed and the hour of the night shift approached.

As soon as I finished my shift, I went to the sub-dimensional and drank spring water.

After that, he practiced mana simbeop until the 2-hour sojourn time was over, and returned to reality.

‘ah. It’s refreshing.’

A state in which all the fatigue of the body, which was felt weakly, disappeared.

After taking a hot bath, I felt drowsy as if I had entered a cozy bed.

I just closed my eyes and went to sleep.

It must have been about 15 minutes.

I opened my eyes with a clear mind.

The feeling of fatigue after visiting Sub-Dimension is similar to that of starvation.

Since the body is full of energy, mental fatigue was also resolved with short sleep.

I’ve never slept more than 15 minutes a day after I left for a circle.

I thought it was safe to go to sleep in about 15 minutes, because I would wait for me to go to sleep, even if someone did some nonsense.

Today, as usual, I was killing time by using mana simbeop.

rustle.

The sound of a large group approaching from tens of meters away was picked up by sensitive ears.

Hearing the footsteps, it was clear that at least dozens of entities were approaching.

After I stopped using the simbeop, I opened my eyes clutching the mace.
