I Can See Your Code

I see your code (58)

“Where are you going?”

Reinol answered the question as if it was absurd once again.

“It is a forest of inheritance.”

“… … Why is that crazy place?”

“I’m going to pick up a stone.”

“Have you ever hit your head in a stone?”

“no.”

“Then come and see. I’ll get you back to your sanity.”

Reynold came with a brick that was nearby. As he puts his head to the side, he sighs and puts his hands behind his back. Bricks embedded in the ground crack and break with a sound.

“I believe in a body like a monster that doesn’t even have a knife, but I see it, but no matter how hard it is, the forest of inheritance is unreasonable. Do you know how many people die after going there for a challenge?”

“It’s just idiots who believe that there is no area where magic doesn’t work. You know that I’m not that kind of idiot, and I’m a rare, well-trained person.”

“… … However, it is not a forest of great inheritance. It is a place where even giants often die.”

“I don’t mean to go all the way through. I’m just trying to pick up a stone in the middle. If it’s dangerous, you can come out before that.”

“still… … ha.”

Reynold, who was speaking, looked at my face and shook her head. You must have realized that persuasion through dialogue is impossible. After all, similar situations have happened many times over the past two years.

“So, what is the stone you want to pick up? It must not be a real stone.”

“It’s a brain stone.”

When I answered it in a cool way, it must have been that Raynor had an absurd expression on his face again.

“… … Isn’t that the story of the thunderbolt from the legend?”

“That’s right.”

“I want to tell you not to believe such fiction, but… … That’s why I always go somewhere to find the real thing.”

Reynold sighed and sat on the floor looking up at me. The playfulness is gone and only the seriousness remains. I sat down with him and made eye contact.

“The forest of great inheritance… … okay. you’ll be fine You have that kind of judgment. But what about the King’s Sword?”

“… … Did you know?”

“Tayer-sama told me.”

Why didn’t the old man do it?

Well, there are a lot of things that have to do with me, so if I disappear, it will be difficult. However, it was clear that he was trying to control me through Lynol, who pretended to be listening.

It wasn’t malicious, so I didn’t feel bad, but I have to say that I’m a merchant to the core. I thought that the relationship had improved, but I still treat people with calculations.

“They are still being pursued. You won’t even dare to take revenge on me.”

“You don’t know what people do. You’re the one who avoided the chase for two years. The city is fine, but… … If you go into a sparsely populated forest, you don’t know where they will come from.”

To be sure, I had no idea that the pursuit team, which included a second-class knight, would be eluded for so long. I thought I’d catch you soon. But I wasn’t too worried.

Reinol frowned as he shrugged his shoulders to signify that it was okay.

“you… … .”

“Are you nagging again?”

Darin, who was approaching all of a sudden, covered Reinol’s mouth.

“How long have you been treated like a child? Rihanna was all grown up like that. If you do more than that, you will come to puberty and not even talk to your brother.”

“… … Puberty comes to children. What I’m doing is advice, not nagging. Darin, you heard it too. The King Sword is trying to get revenge on Rian for something he did in the past.”

“I heard. But Rihanna is also very strong.”

Reinol frowned at those words.

“I got stronger. It’s hard to believe that it’s only been two years. But that’s also at the level of a 4th grade knight. I can’t even last five minutes against a third-class knight.”

“You are fine. Is Rihan the type of person who can brag about anything?”

“… … That’s not it.”

“Then the story is over. Don’t overprotect yourself there, mother.”

Ignoring Linol, who was raging, Darin smiled and came towards me.

“So, when are you leaving?”

“I have nothing to procrastinate, so I’m going right away.”

“Right now? Have you talked to Tanya?”

“no. Please tell me instead.”

“I would be very upset… … .”

Darin looks out the window on the second floor of the mansion. As I followed that gaze, the gray hair that had been sticking out quickly disappeared behind the curtain. Darin clicked his tongue.

“Why is such a tall boy being a gentle sheep only to you… … .”

Darin, who muttered as if sighing, glanced at Reinol and waved a small hand. what. As you get closer, he whispers in your ear.

“But are you going with the cart?”

“no. Because I have work to do. why?”

When asked, Darin hesitated and spit it out.

“that… … My brother hates this race… … you don’t like it If I were the only one caught between the two of them, it would be awkward and I would die.”

“It’s not like we’re fighting each other.”

“But… … .”

“I’ll be back soon, so be patient.”

When he tapped Darin on the shoulder and looked at Reynol, he saw him standing slumped with an awkward expression.

that’s all you’ve heard

Linol’s performance has risen incomparably to two years ago. No matter how much you whisper, it makes no sense that you can’t hear it from this distance.

There’s no way Darin didn’t know that… … Rather, it would have felt like listening. Either way, it’s tempting to both.

I moved forward, taking care not to let my thoughts come out. Now, you can see Layton Street, which has been cleaned up as if it is a place where people live. With the scene in the background, I was greeted by Reynol and Darin who saw me off and left the castle gate.

attribute stone. As a word, it is a stone with attributes, and it is a valuable item that can be priced in the tens of gold even at the lowest level. This is because there is a lot of demand, and among them, the properties of fire, water, earth, and wind, which are the four elements, are the best.

Because it is the most popular and useful.

But it’s not absolute. Because there are very few exceptions that do not belong to the four major elements and whose evaluation is better than that.

A typical example is the blood (血) attribute.

Like the four elements, it is difficult to use universally, but it is evaluated to be more powerful than that in person-to-person combat. That’s because there is no creature in the world that doesn’t bleed.

The problem is that only the vampire clan can own it.

Unlike attribute stones that are usually collected from the ground, bloodstone is only generated in the body of a vampire. In short, the source of their power. In other words, it is like a dragon heart.

Of course, there’s no way you can manage anything like that. An object strictly controlled by the vampire royal family and the council. But that’s not to say it’s impossible to save. Management is strict, but it does not prohibit distribution.

On the other hand, there is a property that it is impossible to obtain while having a better evaluation than the four elements.

Exactly the brain.

Unlike normal attribute stones, the grades are not divided. The reason is simple. Because it’s something that doesn’t exist.

Rumors abound and no one has actually seen it. The idle people just talk about the legends in the tavern.

Whoever has the power of lightning will become the thunderbolt that shakes the continent.

“Who are you?”

When I turned around at the voice I heard while contemplating, red hair filled my vision. The guardian of the Holy Land, Cassia, stood behind her with a puzzled expression and was sniffling.

“… … what are you doing?”

“you… … That kid right then? No, it definitely smells the same, but… … .”

“You go down a bit.”

When you push your shoulder with your hand, it gently moves away. Cassia fell and looked at me with suspicion.

“That’s how I grew up. Because I know that humans develop quickly. But what is that magic power? You can’t even compare it to two years ago!”

“Originally, humans have a high aptitude for magic passes.”

“… … You know I’m from Gallian, right? Elf, it’s impossible for those magicians to build up magic at that rate.”

“Then I guess it’s just because I’m great.”

Cassia made an embarrassed face. I continued talking without paying attention.

“More than that, are you sure you found the brain stone?”

“No, let me explain first… … hey, it’s done If I get stressed out by this kind of thing, wrinkles will only increase. You don’t even tell me how you found out about retrograde blood.”

After grumbling for a while, Cassia sighed and shrugged.

“I couldn’t go through the forest of dynasty, but… … All other conditions are exactly as you said. When I got halfway through, I definitely heard thunder.”

“Did you get to the middle?”

Frowning her eyes, Cassia nodded casually.

“I don’t know where the end is, so it’s just a feeling.”

“You said you only need to find traces of lightning strikes.”

“How do you know if it was because of the thunderbolt or just how many lightning strikes? The surest thing to do is to make sure it’s lightning fast in the dry sky.”

“… … .”

‘Forest of Great Succession’. In the game, it’s just a field, but in reality, it’s a huge space that spans hundreds of kilometers.

That’s why I didn’t know the exact location, so I asked for an investigation… … Probably dozens of places in two years. I say it like it’s nothing, but an ordinary human would have died thousands of times.

“You don’t have to worry.”

Cassia grinned.

“Considering the fact that you saved our family, this order is natural. In fact, I was going to bring it out, but I couldn’t go in any more.”

Cassia shook her head nervously and looked at the forest with tired eyes.

No, it’s a bit strange to call it a forest. It’s just a name, ‘Forest of Inheritance’, because it’s a plain where not a single tree has grown.

“I say it with my mouth, but I’m pretty strong, right? From the outside, it may look fragile, as if a single flower could not be picked.”

“It’s not something I’m really going to spit out of my own mouth.”

“Anyway, it sounds like it’s difficult compared to the younger brother of the cart. From a human standpoint… … okay. Did you say that you were a second-class knight? It will be sorted out.”

Cassia said bluntly without showing any signs of bragging.

“If you look at your body, you will be much stronger than that. Well, it’s only natural that the races are different. Anyway, it was the limit for me to get to the middle. But you… … .”

It looked hesitant, so he shrugged in the sense that it was okay.

“… … you are human sorry. I didn’t mean to discriminate.”

“Who knows that the human race lacks physical abilities. I don’t have any thoughts, so I can say it comfortably.”

“… … Anyway, you know that you can’t use magic power in the forest of great inheritance, right? I see only one physical ability. This is it. With a human body, let alone pass, it would be difficult to even take a single step.”

Cassia points west with her finger. This is the direction in which the Federation of Gelian is located.

“So, I’ll ask the giants. It’s hard right now because there’s a lot of work there too, so if you wait five more years… … .”

“Are you crazy?”

No matter how long-lived, the sense of time is different from that of the long-lived species, but it’s only been 5 years. It may be a short period for a vampire who lives for nearly 300 years, but I will die of boredom waiting for that.

“I am the one who said that I was in the forest of Daemulrim in the first place. I wouldn’t have asked you to find it without a way to get it out.”

“I’ve never heard of a shortcut in the forest of dynasty… … .”

Cassia, who had been standing there with an uncertain expression, immediately opened her eyes.

“Oh, I see.”

What is it?

“I heard from Cartwal. They say they pull out strange things out of the air. A stick that knocks you down, or a cup that fills the room with magical power… … I didn’t know where it came from, but is that the case this time as well?”

“No.”

“… … Then what is it?”

Cassia muttered in disappointment.

I know why. Perhaps he was imagining space-based magic. That series is extremely rare, so it must have been the feeling of wanting to take a tour at this point. It was completely nonsense, but you were right.

“That’s right.”

“What?”

“There are no shortcuts in the forest of great inheritance.”

The same goes for in-game. A field that was originally created for the purpose of training. There is no need and no reason to cheat.

I admit that this is not the ‘Velia Continent’ biography I made, but the general setting is correct. There is no reason not to use the information you have.

Cassia looked at me with an absurd expression.

“Then what are you going to do with no artifacts? Just go back and wait a bit. If you hurry, about 4 years… … .”

“If the shortcut doesn’t work, what’s left? It’s just the Jeonggong Law.”

“… … you, please.”

“yes. Right.”

I relaxed and looked at the entrance to the forest of Daemulrim.

“I’m just going to pierce it with my body.”
