STGB Chapter 215

Episode 215 Discard (4)

The knight who gave me this ring said.

If you show this and tell your story, your identity will be guaranteed immediately.

yeah i just said that

“It’s a message ring. That’s… Sir Garfizel, who went out to search through the second-floor portal.”

Before I could say who gave it to me, a knight recognized it.

And when he saw my reaction, he laughed.

“A message ring…?”

“Looks like you didn’t even know what this was. Wait a minute. Now we’ll know if what you’re saying is true or not.”

As soon as the knight turned the jewel in the ring to the side, blue light leaked out and flowed into the knight’s body.

“…….”

As if enjoying the lingering sound, the knight closed his eyes and remained silent.

It took about 3 minutes for his mouth to open.

“There’s a body collector near the portal…”

With that one word, all causes and effects were drawn in my head.

Shiva, so it was a ‘message’ ring.

Somehow, I didn’t even ask for compensation first, but they gave it to me.

‘I can understand why.’

The article named Garfizel wanted to convey information.

By using the me I met by chance.

I’m sure that’s why I gave you this information.

[If it’s the dark area in the center, do you mean the place where the monument is?]

[Yes, go there. As long as we can get there, it will be safe.]

If it is delivered, there is no loss even if it is good or not.

Still, I could have just been honest with you.

This is why I really feel like I’ve been hit.

‘Why are there so many bastards playing around with people in this world?’

The taste is bitter by itself,

but the good thing is that this ring did a good job of guaranteeing identity.

“Little Balkan Yandel’s son Bjorn.”

A knight who has never spoken by name calls my name.

“Are your doubts resolved now?”

“It seems certain that he is not from Noark’s side. It’s a little questionable how you got through that road with just you guys… Come in. We’ll go to the Central Temporary Headquarters to discuss the details.”

“I’m glad I was listening. Is there a priest by any chance?”

There was no way there was no priest, but he turned around and said that.

Fortunately, the article seemed to understand what he meant.

“Okay, I guess I’ll have to get treatment first.”

The knight who was watching us nodded as if he understood.

It was a little surprising.

I thought you’d be inflexible, saying investigations first—

“Your comrades will take you to a makeshift clinic.”

“……I am?”

“Investigation comes first.”

Hey, but what is this enough for a nobleman?

“I can hold on, so go and rest first.”

“but……!”

Misha protested against my decision, but I stared at one spot without saying a word.

A place where there is a more serious patient than me who is missing one arm.

“Is Daria okay?”

“Well, I don’t know. Raven used the magic to lift the curse

, but I’m still in the ritual…”

“……sorry.”

I’m sorry, what are you sorry about?

I smiled and patted Erwen on the shoulder, who seemed guilty. Then I approached Raven and had a short conversation.

“When I’m not around, you’re the leader. I know it’s hard because of magical exhaustion, but please.”

“……Don’t worry about the team. I’ll be in charge. No matter how hard it is, can you do only Yandel-san?”

Well, wasn’t that what a one-armed bastard would say?

“When it’s over, you can follow me. My colleagues will take my men to the infirmary.”

“i get it.”

After that, I separated from the group and followed the knight inside.

It was a different sight.

Originally, in the dark area where no light came in, all passages were illuminated thanks to the already installed torches.

‘It’s like a temporary shelter.’

If the outside was made up of knights and explorers who seemed to stand guard, the inside was a little different. Explorers sitting or lying resting in a narrow aisle.

“By the way, there’s no fog here?”

“Because I hit a magic circle for defense.”

“A magic circle for defense…?”

“Ah, if you came from outside, I don’t know yet. The fog is a poison-type dark spell. It’s not very dangerous because the range is set wide.”

It’s a dark spell in the form of fog…

Then is it a [Evil Feast]?

There is no problem with breathing, and the range is enough to cover the entire first floor, so of course I thought it was fog magic to block the view.

‘How many warlocks did you replace?’

chills down the spine

What would have happened if we had gone to the remote outskirts and made the decision to hold out on our own?

‘……I almost got fucked.’

No matter how low the power is, after a few days of exposure, the symptoms will appear. Perhaps only then did I realize the identity of this fog and devise countermeasures.

The later it is, the fewer options there will be.

“It’s good for you to rest there, but it gets in the way, so stick to the wall.”

“Ah yes… I’m sorry.”

It was when I moved for about 20 minutes through such a narrow passage.

Finally, the cavity in the center appeared.

Shouldn’t this be called a square?

“……How did you do it?”

“Using a wizard, we demolished all the nearby exterior walls to expand the space. We can’t accommodate everyone in that small space.”

Huh, is this military-style civil engineering?

When people gather like this, there’s nothing they can’t do.

The cavity, which had a radius of about 30 m, expanded to more than hundreds of times in size. On the widened terrain, barracks with each clan’s pattern were built.

“Come in.”

The place where the knight took us was a large barracks located in the very center.

At the entrance, there was a flag of the royal family of Lapdonia, and when I went inside, I saw people having a meeting at a round table.

‘This is a meeting of the head of state ……’

It was the barracks of the royal family, but there were not only knights.

Explorers wearing famous clan marks were also present and were talking hard about something.

Incidentally, there were some familiar faces among them.

“Oh you…!”

A woman astonished as if she had seen a ghost.

I smiled bitterly and said hello.

“See you again, Versil Gowland.”

I didn’t know that we would meet again so soon.

***

“How did you get here… did you ever find a teleportation mage?”

can it be

Instead of answering, I waved my arm with only the elbow remaining.

Looking at his expression, it seemed like he understood what this meant.

“You really came through that road…?”

Versil muttered in disbelief.

It was completely unexpected that we broke through the route they gave up and succeeded.

“How did you do that?”

Well, I’m not proud to say that.

Because I used a method similar to what he did.

I threw away what I had to throw out according to my priorities.

“Saddam goes there.”

When I was having a meeting with Versil, a man hugged me and silence came.

Yes, this man is the big bread here.

“What’s wrong with Sir Ergos, who should be on the front line? Who’s that barbarian next to you?”

“I left for a while because I had something to report first.”

“Tell me.”

“I have obtained Lord Garfizel’s message ring.”

“…Sir Garfizel?”

“Yes. And this is an explorer named Bjorn Yandel who gave me the ring.”

Soon after, the knight handed over the message ring, and the man activated the ring.

and how long has it been

“Marco Elbern, who is in charge of the 3rd Royal Knights.”

The man stares at me and talks to me.

It seems that I’m interested in me who was behind me.

“I’m going to ask you a few questions, will you answer me honestly?”

“……That’s right.”

“Once, according to the contents of the first ring, it means that the ‘corpse collector’ is deployed in the north connected to the Goblin Forest.”

At that, some explorers called ‘corpse collectors!’ He exclaimed, but not to the extent that it interfered with the conversation.

It wasn’t something I would care about right now.

“So what do you want to say?”

“Is this information clear?”

“I’m sure. I ran away, but I fought for a while.”

“If you fought, can you tell me what your team’s rating is?”

“……It’s level 5.”

When the rank was revealed, the knight commander made a strange expression and touched his chin.

“If that’s true, it’s safe to say that he let you go.”

“Perhaps.”

I plainly affirmed.

In fact, it seemed that his interest was only in blocking the second-floor portal. If it wasn’t for that, I would have had a lot of trouble getting away.

“The question is, is this the end?”

“No, one more thing. From what I’ve just heard, you seem to have entered the road assigned to Sir Ergos. Is that true?”

“Yes.”

“I want to hear more about it. Is there any way to get around them?”

“Do you think I’d be like this if I had that?”

“…That’s also true. Then, could you tell me the details of how you got here? It might be a reference for your strategy.”

It seems that it has been proven a long time ago that I am not an explorer from Noark’s side, but there is no need to cause trouble by refusing it.

The 20-minute bloody battle was briefly summarized.

But did that alone tell us how desperate we have been on the road?

“It was an impressive story.”

The knight commander’s gaze changed a little more favorably.

The clan’s explorers who were listening to me were also looking at me curiously.

“You seem to have the qualities of a commander.”

“If I had the quality, I wouldn’t have died half of it.”

“So that’s why I said you can see the quality. Aren’t all your comrades alive?”

“…….”

“A good commander is not one who makes perfect choices. He is one who makes choices that must be made.”

I’m not being sarcastic, I think I’m saying this from the bottom of my heart, but it’s not something I really want to talk about.

Even if it’s a compliment, I’m not particularly happy.

I changed the subject.

“If there are no more questions, I want to go soon.”

“Actually, I have one more question for you. Doesn’t the last person you met have a scar on his chin?”

A scar……

“There was.”

When I nodded, the knight commander laughed as if he was having fun.

“I was wondering if he used an adamantium greatsword, but he was really a snake knight.”

“The Serpent’s Knight?”

“He stabbed the son of his lord he served and ran away. He’s quite famous, but it must have been so long ago that he doesn’t know?”

He used an aura for some reason, so he must have been a knight.

Seeing the buzz of explorers around him, it seems that he must have had a reputation.

“Anyway, congratulations. Since you killed such a person, your reputation will increase.”

“Reputation…”

“Why don’t barbarians like that?”

I’m not wrong, but I

‘m different from normal barbarians. There shouldn’t be anything.

We have to get permission to enter Karnon, the ecliptic.

But …

“If we go back alive

. ”

*** ”

, you held the injured person too long. Go ahead and rest. Lord Ergos will tell you the rules here.”

Finally, we left the barracks. Then, under the guidance of the knight, we moved to the temporary treatment center and joined our colleagues.

“Mister!!!”

“Daria?”

“Dear priest. I got purified and everything was fine. I’m probably tired right now, but I’m sleeping… Anyway, it’s all thanks to you!”

After receiving treatment, Erwen seems to be more active again.

Mischa came over and took Erwen away.

“Hey! Stop bothering me and go away.”

“Yes?”

“What are you? Can’t you see that Bjorn is injured?”

“Ah…”

“Look where you are. Are you okay? Are you sick anywhere else? In the meantime, I had a lot of trouble being called. Let’s go ahead and show the priest the arms first.”

First of all, it seems that all of the injuries have been healed, so I followed Misha to the priest and received treatment.

Oh, by the way, there was no cost.

It’s a wartime situation now.

All explorers follow the instructions of the royal family In the first place,

starting from here at the clinic, priests who were originally from other teams must have been conscripted and collected

. Well, there are a lot of patients. May the brilliance of the sun be with you.”

An arm that grew in less than a few minutes with a single heal.

I feel the importance of priests once again.

If it was a top-notch potion, I would have had to pour two or three bottles

. ….

This is because the effect of the potion gradually decreases as the physical ability goes up

After receiving treatment, I joined my colleagues again and had a conversation. ”

Have you

heard about Raven’s situation

” When I looked at the map I received with it, it turned out to be a passage on the outskirts. I guess it’s because I came too late. It seems that the safe inside is already saturated.”

At Raven’s words, I laughed silently.

There were only large clan barracks in the very center, but did they come quickly and be assigned there?

“Anyway, let’s move there. They say that starting tomorrow, you will have to stand guard in shifts according to your turn.”

It looks like some kind of army has entered

Where are you?”

Takelan Arbenon.

In fact, a 5th-class explorer who could be said to be the only survivor of this plan.

“…….”

The moment I heard Takelan’s name,

my colleagues stiffened. …….”

Raven smiled and opened her mouth.

“As soon as I was assigned to the region, I went there. I heard that explorers who are alone or with 2 or less are treated in such a way as to make up for the vacancy in the team.” ”

Really?”

But wouldn’t it be fine if we just join our team? It seems

that all clans go together.

There were quite a lot of people who formed a team, and

when I asked that question, Raven smiled awkwardly and said,

“I wanted it myself. So don’t mind Mr. Yandel.”

“In that case.”

I nodded nonchalantly and thought,

‘Something happened while I was gone.’

There was an incident.

I don’t know why you’re hiding it from me.

I’ll have to ask Einar or Misha a little later on this…
