STGB Chapter 323

Episode 323 Role (3)

Long hair that has turned white.

Jagged wrinkles.

A friendly impression that looks mild.

Upright waist that doesn’t match his age and even the inside of the wall that looks like he can see through people’s insides.

“Hmm, no matter when I come here, it’s always gloomy.”

My heart was pounding at the appearance of an old man who looked exactly like what I had seen in the community.

‘Auril Gavis…?’

Of course, I had in mind what happened today.

That’s what Amelia said.

On the day her sister died, this old man was there too.

But…

‘No, why is this old man here?’

The reason why this old man is right here, not the center of events.

No matter how you think about it, there is only one.

‘It must have come to find me…’

Your heart starts beating faster and your head gets congested.

How the hell did this old man find me?

Could it be that Bjorn Yandel was also discovered?

Why has the community been closed for months?

No, more than anything…

What is this old man going to do with me from now on?

At the same time as he doubted, cold sweat began to run down his spine.

That was the moment.

“Kuhm.”

Auril Gavis coughed and drew attention.

It seems that he didn’t like the fact that he just stood still and stared at me without replying…… I

have to do something first.

Ha but what should I do?

Okay, starting with a casual greeting—

“Well then, would you like to get out of the way now?”

uh?

“If you’re as big as you and blocking the road like that, you can’t pass.”

what?

‘……Couldn’t it be me?’

My head went blank at the unexpected development.

However, the mouth that had been spitting out countless lies took care of itself and did what it had to do.

“Ah yes…… pass by. Elder.”

An honorific word that had never been used since he was in the body of a barbarian.

At this, Aurl Gavis smiled heartily.

“You’re a rare polite friend? Or maybe you’re quick-witted. I’ll live a long time.”

As soon as I pushed close to the side, he passed by with a chuckle.

trudge trudge.

The sound of footsteps getting farther and farther away.

Suddenly, such a thought came to mind.

First of all, I instinctively escaped the situation, but was it good to hide my identity?

Of course, it was a momentary thought.

Didn’t they meet in real life, not even within the community? If you can hide your identity, you should, of course, hide it. If you even find out that it’s Bjorn Yandel, you’ll have too many things to worry about going back to the future.

‘Yes, I passed it well…….’

After thinking that, my body, which had been completely frozen, began to relax and I gradually began to realize it.

That was when

“Oh, I didn’t ask that.”

Auril Gavis, who was walking well, turned his back.

Then he stared at me and asked a question.

“What the hell happened today that makes this place look like this?”

“The lord of the castle joined hands with the royal family and took Orculis by surprise.”

“Oh, that’s what happened…”

Contrary to the interesting tone, there was no interest in the voice.

So at first, I wondered if it was an illusion, but

after hearing the second question, the difference became clear.

“Oh, and one more question. Hasn’t a barbarian been in this city lately? Maybe five or six months ago…” Quite the

opposite of the first.

It was a casual tone, as if it were nothing special, but there was a deep interest that could not be hidden in his voice.

‘Peace of mind, peace of mind…’

Kongdak tried to calm his heart, then calmly opened his mouth to find the most appropriate answer.

“Yes there was.”

It wasn’t good to lie.

In the first place, if you go to the city and ask just a few people, the answer will come out, so there is no reason to do that.

“Oh, is that so? Can you tell me where I can go to meet him?”

“According to my memory, he belonged to the lord of the castle. So, he must be fighting in the East by now.”

“Haha, he wasn’t just polite, he was a very kind young man? What’s his name?”

“yes?”

“Oh, not you, but that barbarian.”

“Byon. I heard that Thor’s son is Bjorn.”

Hearing the answer, he shook his head and tapped my forearm as if he were giving a court order.

“Thank you for answering. You look busy. Let’s go.”

“Yes, I hope you achieve what you want.”

Why does the air feel so cold?

As soon as the conversation seemed to be over, I bowed lightly and entered the aisle.

trudge trudge.

When I heard the sound of an old man walking away from behind me, and soon the sound was gone.

‘Oh, I almost fell.’

I started running with all my might.

***

Meanwhile at that time.

“What is the current situation on the Eastern Front?”

“As commanded, we are wasting time by investing only the minimum number of troops, and we can withdraw at any time by simply contacting them.”

The silver-haired knight Jerome St. Red nodded with a satisfied face after hearing the adjutant mage’s report.

It is thanks to the fact that the first ‘special order’ he received after becoming the general manager was successfully ending.

The first goal of the special mission was the ‘Record Fragment Stone’.

And the additional goal of reducing Noark’s power by causing infighting was also achieved.

“Immediately send a message to the war wizards. In 10 minutes, gather at the rendezvous point and return.”

“yes.”

If the forces deployed in the east are gone, Orculis’ forces will vent their anger toward the already dead lord.

And the civil war will begin in earnest—

“Um…”

Jerome nodded at the adjutant’s voice.

A gesture meaning that if you have something to say, do it.

When permission was granted, the adjutant asked in a cautious yet respectful voice.

“May I ask what the necklace you are holding is for?”

“This information is not permitted to you.”

Jerome stubbornly replied and put the necklace in the box and put it in the subspace.

Then the adjutant also bowed his head as if he had made a mistake.

“Excuse me. Captain St. Red has a necklace of some sort of refined stone…… I swear I didn’t know it was an item related to an exclusive special order.

” limb of feeling.

Jerome flinched at this.

“Jewelry’s necklace……? What does that mean?”

“…yes?”

“Tell me in detail. Is this a Jeongjeongseok necklace?”

Jerome took out the necklace again and showed it to his adjutant.

And I got the same answer.

“Yes, I’m sure. It’s a magic tool with high-grade refined stones embedded in it. Ah, refined stones mean specially processed rift stones to make magic casting more smooth…” While talking, the adjutant said

, I kept my mouth shut.

It was because of the ghastly sound that came out of Jerome, his direct superior, from the chin.

“So I guess I was tricked…….”

The adjutant lowered his head involuntarily.

He deserved it too.

Because the usual Jerome was a guy who always laughed, saying that even after buying a 10,000-stone item for 1 million stones, it was always the case.

“……Abex, you lead the army and return to the city first.”

“Yes? Captain Saint Red…”

“I have work to do.”

Jerome left without answering, and the adjutant just watched without saying anything.

It was the first time I had seen the captain so angry.

***

The underground sewer that supports Lapdonia’s water supply and sewage system.

Everyone who has been here thinks the same.

First of all, it’s not enough to say that the smell is terrible, and the second is that the road is more complicated than a maze.

Just like this.

‘It’s such a bad place whenever I come.’

After running for a long time along the long straight passage, I climbed a ladder to the sewer.

After clearing the steel structure that looked like a manhole cover, I was welcomed by a four-pronged street corner from the beginning.

Of course, finding the direction was not a problem.

It was because there were traces of dozens of people already passing by on one side of the road.

You just have to follow the milestones.

Well, there was a different problem.

‘Damn the sewer.’

Unlike the sewage area I experienced, there was no side road that people could pass through.

No, strictly speaking, it’s not like it

doesn’t exist at all…….

A side road that is too narrow for a barbarian taller than 2m to pass.

iron jerk iron hammer.

In the end, I had no choice but to step on the dirty water that came up to my shin.

how long has it been like that

In the middle, the traces of battle left on the wall began to come into my eyes.

Most of them were sword marks carved into the wall.

Although the depths were all different, the sword scars had one thing in common. As if using a precision machine, the cut surface is very clean.

The identity of the person who left the scar was also roughly inferred.

The shallow must be Amelia and the deep must be him.

Leader of Orcules.

Traitor Ricardo Lühenprague.

“Tsk.”

Somehow the taste was bitter.

In the plan that the two of us initially planned to carry out, we aimed to somehow get him off the hook and into the sewer.

Well, in the original history, when Amelia reunited with her childhood self in the sewer, she was being chased by this guy.

But…

‘I couldn’t get it off after all.’

Looking at the situation, it seems that it was not successful either.

After that, why did you do useless things?

The future is not something that can be changed.

‘He’s strangely honest only in this kind of place.’

In a way, Amelia resembles a barbarian.

I don’t know how stubborn I am about giving up on the subject of being human.

Besides, where is it?

While pretending to be reasonable, he does everything alone, but there are also a lot of residuals—

Kwaang-!

Then there was an explosion in the distance and the sewers shook.

Tadat-!

I sped up.

***

There are limits to the body.

No matter how much you exercise and increase your strength, the maximum power you can generate is fixed.

That’s why integers are the foundation of explorers.

Because this power existed in the world, explorers were able to fight against gigantic monsters with power beyond their limit.

But that is so far.

“Are you finally thinking about fighting?”

Amelia was overcome with helplessness.

The greatly increased performance of the body itself is the same.

However, all abilities were sealed.

[The Source of Fire].

In exchange for not receiving all healing effects, including potions, this ability greatly increases natural regeneration.

[self-replication].

It was also the one that allowed them to always have a numerical advantage in one-on-one situations.

[Power of the Abyss] and [Suragak], all of her abilities that served as her wings in battle became unavailable.

Because of this one man in front.

“…Why are you so obsessed with me?”

Amelia brought up the question she had been holding back.

Even so, she didn’t understand.

We spent over two hours trying to get this man off the city, but he was relentless.

Even the sewage here, where the stench creeps up.

“Was it an unexpected action?”

Amelia nodded at the man’s question.

“Yeah, I don’t understand at all. Going to the lord of the castle rather than following a woman like me must be much more important to you, right?”

The royal family and the lord of the castle were trying to wipe out Orculis in an alliance.

But this man, who is the commander and the best force, breaks away from the front line and follows a woman who has no connection?

Apart from knowing the result, the process was not at all convincing.

“That’s a funny question.”

He smiled so coldly.

“Human woman. An awl-shaped red aura that seems to be specialized for daggers. All of these are the characteristics of the Rose Knights.”

“……The Rose Knights?”

“Are you going to come all the way here?”

Amelia was really taken aback.

She knew what the Knights of the Rose were. A unit under the direct control of the royal family that undertakes special missions such as assassination and infiltration operations.

There are rumors that it is only made up of women, but there is no accurate confirmation of that.

“You must be a rookie, right? Well, even after seeing me, you must have asked that question.”

“No, I belong to the Knights of the Rose—”

“Stop thinking about living.”

Amelia tried to talk somehow, but it didn’t work.

“Because I have no questions for you.”

A sword that cuts off conversations and flies.

Amelia quickly raised her aura and blocked it.

It was the moment I thought I had blocked it.

Slow-!

The right wrist holding the dagger was cut off and he fell into the sewer.

and at about the same time.

Whiik-!

The sword flew again.

The target target is the left wrist.

The cruel will to cut down everything that could be cut was buried in his sword.

Quaang-!

Amelia backed away, slashing the sword with the dagger containing the aura.

But did you anticipate that move?

The sword, which was aiming for the left wrist, bent like a snake as if using the recoil and turned its trajectory toward Amelia’s neck.

“I’m sorry……!”

When she came to her senses, Amelia was already in a crowd with her back to the wall.

He felt the cool touch of the blade on his neck.

Kwuk-

As soon as the man pushed the blade in, the blood flowed down along with the stinging pain.

“What a nice face.”

As her prayers were suppressed by the tip of her sword, Amelia couldn’t breathe properly, let alone open her mouth to speak.

“It’s just right for you.”

Oxygen was lacking and my brain went white.

Are you really going to die?

No, then what will become of my older sister and the younger me?

Obviously, according to history, I should have met the two of them with only injuries…

“…….”

Amelia checked her surroundings as if rolling her eyes.

As if to find someone else who can solve this crisis.

‘……Yandel.’

Realizing who she was looking for, Amelia laughed involuntarily.

he can’t come here

It was because I took medicine that would stretch for at least six hours and fed it myself.

You should have woken up by now, read the note, and arrived at the lord’s castle. Well, if you woke up a little earlier, you might have already obtained the item and returned to your original time.

No, it’s very likely that he has already returned.

Because otherwise it can’t be explained.

“Are you looking for a way to live?”

Even if you look around Amman, you can’t see the bow.

As soon as that sword was driven a little deeper, this pathetically long life would come to an end.

That’s what it means.

“Puch…….”

History has changed.

Today he dies here.

Probably the cause…

‘Because Bjorn Yandel has returned.’

She excluded Yandel from this plan.
