Chapter 172

next day

Having left early in the morning and joined Mike’s party, we walked straight out of the inn.

Mount Curon is located in the east gate, completely opposite to the preface we are in.

Since the city was so big, it took quite a while to walk to the east gate.

It’s been about an hour since I walked through the door and through the field.

We were at the mouth of Mount Curon.

The party’s top priority was to get us on top.

Since then, we have been both homeless and hunting, so we are very grateful and grateful.

It was funny because of Raymond’s splendid past history that they were doing so favorably.

Of course, there was no one who believed.

It’s just so ridiculous for them.

Because there wasn’t.

But for themselves, this was one interesting novel and complacency.

It’s like an undisclosed legend.

They were paying for the fun.

The direction wasn’t different anyway.

Mike’s party consisted of prosecutors, unlike Lumen’s mercenaries.

According to him, everyone’s a first-degree sword.

There was no confirmation that he was from the company.

Of course, I don’t even know what a first-degree prosecutor is like.

It’s said to be just before the Paladine, but even the Paladine doesn’t know it.

According to Raymond, it is called Sod Expert in Paragon.

Since then, the situation has been the same.

Sword master.

A man who achieved the extreme of the sword, his physical abilities developed rapidly and his five senses developed.

He is beyond the limit and cannot be assassinated even by a high-level assistant.

In addition, this area, where there is nothing that can’t be cut down by the ultimate technology of “Aura,” was a sword drama that anyone, regardless of whether they were using a sword or not, aimed at.

In terms of Hunter, he is like an SS-class warrior.

Of course, this is my subjective opinion, not accurate.

I’ve never seen a Sodmaster before.

He was attacked several times as he climbed the mountain.

There were many orcs, but their skills were significant, as they boasted.

Compared to the previous Lumen mercenaries, they are not far from each other times.



Rather, the power seemed better.

It’s something you can tell just by looking at most of the heads falling off in one shot.

Thanks to him, we could reach the top of the mountain in an instant without much danger.

“But what are you doing at the top?”

Mike was taking a break, and he said,

That’s it was.

“Just. I have something to think about.”

“I have something to think about. You must have a story.”

“Maybe.”

“If you can’t say anything, you don’t have to. However, if you go up there, it will be hard to come down again.”

I knew exactly what Mike was saying.

They took care of me when I went, but I couldn’t get any help when I came down.

Of course, it’s self-defense before you leave the city.

I did buy a sword with

However, there was a limit to buying good things with the money I had, and the things I bought were heavy and I couldn’t even swing them properly.

In other words, the chances of me and Raymond coming down the mountain safely were zero.

I had to go up though.

Caidel’s talent.

I don’t know what it is, but first of all, it’s the talent of the ancient Assassin, so it’s best to get and see.

After such a short break.

The city’s hiking has begun.

The attack continued even as the monster’s mountain was notoriously climbed.

Not only Orc, but also Goblin-like people often showed up.

I poked a sword at the dead body just in case, but it also does not go in due to lack of strength.

‘Well, when I meet you, I’ll just think you’re dead.’

The fact that the sword did not go in meant that fighting was impossible to fight.

Which means unless you’re lucky enough to hit the vital spot, there’s no damage.

Do.

In other words, when we meet monsters, we have to think that we are nine out of ten.

Thinking about this and that, I’ve already reached the top.

Contrary to my expectation, the summit was very wide.

I knew the scale of the mountain was big, but I didn’t know the end would be invisible.

“It took a lot longer than I thought. We’re gonna have to leave now. If you’ve changed your mind, you can follow me.”

There was a little conflict with Mike’s words.

In fact, I thought there would be a cabin when I reached the top, but it was just a field.

Is Zaltin really here?

If not, this is no more than suicide.

However, it was courageous to come all the way here.

That courage cannot be folded now.

“I’m fine. You took me all the way here.

Thank you.”

“Are you sure you’ll be okay? What about Raymond?

“I don’t like…uh!”

I shut Raymond’s mouth trying to weaken.

“He’s on the same page with me.”

“Really? Then there’s nothing I can do. Good luck to you all the best. Raymond, Park Tae-min.”

They went down the mountain with a brief farewell.

Raymond then blamed me with an almost crying look.

“What the hell is in here, man? Who are you crazy about?”

“I haven’t looked back yet. And why are you so scared of the best Elf prosecutor?”

“Well, someone scared me. I’m just…

“You have to look back before it gets dark. Don’t say anything and follow me.”

In fact, the same was true for me as well.

Fortunately, the peak is less frequent than mountainous areas.

It was Mike’s knowledge from hunting for a long time.

Now I had no choice but to believe in it and pray.

The grumbling Raymond forced his way to the top.

The top of the summit was not flat, so the ground was in several places and the head was formed.

So if you think about it as the end, there is a road at the bottom and there is a road at the top.

The sun gradually began to fall after a few turns.

It really was a beautiful sunset, but it was the rest of our lives.

It was like a famous line.

As the sun sets, monsters become active.

That meant that we were more likely to be exposed, and if not necessarily that problem, we would have a hard time identifying objects because there was no light.

So we had to find him when there was as much sun as possible.

“Is he in the back?”

It was Ray Mond who was strutting behind me.

Actually, I’m thinking about it, too.

It wasn’t that I didn’t.

I don’t know how great he is, but it was very dangerous to stand alone in these mountains.

However, the existence in the quest could not have been so easy.

Furthermore, a forgotten assassin.

Don’t you feel something of a covert?

Of course, this was my subjective judgment.

“The quest window couldn’t have popped up for nothing.”

I’ll try to be calm, he’ll do it all.

I walked a poem.

“You said it didn’t even exist. What if it’s an error?”

“Is there any point in saying that now? You shouldn’t have thought about coming here in the first place.”

“I know, dude, you’re making me……

“Wait. Be quiet for a second.”

I cut Raymond off, narrowed my brows and looked ahead.

The fine smoke that rises far between the heads.

Let’s focus a little more on that, kite.

I was sure of my spirit.

“Do you see that smoke over there?”

“Where?”

“Over there at the end.”

When I pointed my finger, he looked frantically ahead and soon looked at me.

“No way, over there?”

“Yeah, I don’t think the monster set fire, and I think it’s a person.”

“Oaks often use fire.”

“But I’ll have to check it out.

I said so and moved to the point where the smoke was rising.

The smoke we saw was coming from farther than we thought.

I thought I’d reach it quickly, but I had to keep walking even after the sun set completely.

One hopeful fact was that a bright light was leaking from where the smoke rose.

‘It’s a house. That’s a house.’

Anyone can tell it was a house.

An ordinary wooden cabin.

As I got closer, a pile of firewood caught my eye with the smell of food.

And I’ll tell you what, Raymon.

He spoke to D.

“Look, it’s home. Orcs wouldn’t build a house like that and live in it.”

He didn’t say anything as if he agreed with me.

As we approached the door, we were convinced that this was a human home.

Because there were several clothes hanging.

I knocked on the door for nothing to see.

Knock, knock.

“Is anyone there?”

I spoke quite loudly, but beyond the door,

with no sign of anything coming from

All

One more time.

“Are you there?”

As expected, there’s no response.

I was going to knock harder on the door, but Raymond opened it and snatched it.

Then I went inside as if it were my own house.

I was speechless at the sight, but I followed without realizing it.

Then a bed, a blanket and several books and lanterns caught my eye.

“Hey, you’re so fond of other people’s homes.

“It’s an empty house, what’s wrong with that?” By the way, is that food?”

Raymond, who skillfully took over my twine, gulped at the boiling pot.

“Leave it at a good time. If you put that up, it means you didn’t go far.”

As soon as I finished my words, I felt a cold chill behind my back.

It’s definitely a warm house, but what the hell is this icy energy?

Raymond felt that, too.

Ji, it was frozen, stopped moving.

I felt like I shouldn’t look back.

It feels creepy with a knife right behind my neck.

I couldn’t do anything about it, but I heard a stranger’s voice behind my back.

“What are you guys?”

“Oh, we……

“Did he send it?”

“What? No, we’re here to meet someone named Zaltin.”

“What are you going to do when you meet?”

“You have to learn to live from him.”

“Live. Are you kidding me?”

“Just kidding. We’re not weird people. I’m really here to learn to live.”

“Well, I wouldn’t let you boys go to kill me. Go back—you don’t have a single thing to gain from here.”

The cold energy that was swirling around with the man’s horse disappeared as if it were washed away.

And a man passing by me

Okay.

Surprisingly, he was a middle-aged man with no arms and no legs.

Sitting on crutches in front of the complex, he stirred the soup with a spoon.

I meant we didn’t care.

“Well, who are you?”

“Who’s the owner of this house?”

“Oh, well, do you happen to know Zaltin? I heard you’re at the top of the mountain here.”

The man smirked and mumbled at my question.

“The eyes must be a decoration.”

“So your name is Zaltin? Forgotten assassin.”

“That’s what it used to be called. Until I met him. It’s very late. Go back.”

“I can’t do that. I have to learn to live.”

“Why?”

“Oh, that’s because I have to protect the people I love.”

“I protect my loved ones. That’s a silly idea. I like everything. But you can’t.”

“Why?”

“You don’t see a single talent for an assassin.”
