STGB Chapter 340

Episode 340 Snowball (4)

The Dark Continent on the 7th Layer of the Labyrinth.

Five explorers were currently preparing to camp in a deep mountain area shrouded in black mist, indicating that it was part of it.

“How long does it take for the ruined grandpa blocking magic circle?”

“It will take about 10 minutes.”

“Still?

The expression on the face of the old man who was drawing the magic circle slightly changed due to the blonde man’s complaint.

It didn’t show much, but it was unpleasant.

“If you’re so dissatisfied, wouldn’t it be better to put a priest in the remaining seat?”

The blonde man laughed at the old man’s words.

“Will the old priest come to our team?”

“Aren’t there priests of Karui?”

“Half-healer is a specification here.”

The muttered blond man looked away from the old man and gazed into the fog.

The black fog covered his vision, but the man’s eyes saw the shape of a monster passing through it and heading this way.

A grade 5 beast, the Dyvilwolf.

Originally, it was an individual living in a group, but it was alone because it was pushed out of the group due to the battle for rank. Soon, the blond man looked at a woman with his characteristic light tone.

“Meow, you take care of that.”

“You shouldn’t have told me not to call me that way?”

“You’re sensitive, so what’s the answer?”

At the man’s question, the red-haired beast woman, Mischa Karlstein, raised her sword and stood up without saying a word.

And…

“Kong-Kong…!”

As soon as the monster appeared in the fog, he moved his sword.

Just two strikes were enough.

hooked!

The moment the sword in his left hand pierced the monster’s skin, cold air raged and the monster’s body froze.

Quaang-!

The sword held in his right hand shattered the frozen monster.

“Oh, now the 5th grade comes out with onecom?”

“…….”

Misha returned to her original seat and sat down.

Then the blond man muttered as if he was unfair.

“Hey, but why are you so cold to me?”

“I don’t know, so I ask…?”

“Then do you understand? Carry around with me, feed me essence, improve my skills, and tell me how to save my husband. What the hell do you have so many complaints about—” “Stop it.

”

“You can just look at the way you talk. It was cute when you were talking to me—”

“Stop it.”

Soon after, Misha looked at him with a cold gaze, and the blond man shrugged and sat down in front of the campfire.

“Ah, talking to Nanggun was forbidden, right? I’m sorry.”

The blond man, who spat out an apology that didn’t feel sincere at all, started chatting with other colleagues as if nothing was wrong.

Misha quietly suppressed her simmering emotions.

‘…Lee Baek-ho.’

It was the name of the blond man in front of him.

The only ‘individual’ in the royal family who is vigilant, and a skilled person who folds a number in Noark every time.

crackle.

Looking at the irregular sparks, Misha recalled her first meeting with him.

***

It was like an outstretched hand from the devil.

Especially since it’s an offer you can’t refuse.

“What would you do if I told you there was a way to bring Bjorn Yandel back to life?”

On that day, Lee Baek-ho said.

If you go to the 9th floor, there is a ‘revival stone’.

With that alone, you can bring back the lost person.

Of course, it wasn’t good intentions without asking for a price.

“Instead, I have something for you to do.”

Lee Baek-ho proposed two conditions.

“Testify that the first Bjorn Yandel is a demon.”

“…what?”

“I heard they were almost lovers? What you say won’t sound like a rumor.”

The first condition that the intention is not known at all.

“Don’t be ridiculous! If that’s the case, even if Bjorn comes back alive, he’ll have no place to be, and I didn’t—!”

“So you won’t?”

Lee Baek-ho smirked and stopped talking.

Mischa was gripped by the feeling of wanting to get out of this place right away, but suppressed her lips.

It was for a simple reason.

If I added one more word here, I had a hunch that he would reject the offer and leave.

“Right.”

Lee Baek-ho, who was happy to see Misha’s patience, continued with a more tolerant voice.

“Now, I know you must have been embarrassed, but I didn’t just make a thoughtless proposal. Once my plan worked out, I could totally wreck the royal family.”

“…the royal family?”

“It seemed like the royal family would have to solve the problem in order to cross the abyss gate. The beginning is to reveal that Bjorn Yandel is an evil spirit.”

crazy guy

The words filled her throat, but Misha held it in.

“Anyway, so what I want to say is… After the royal family is gone, whether he’s a demon or not, there’s no problem with living.”

“…What if that plan fails?”

“At that time, I’ll take responsibility and let you escape outside the city walls. After hearing the story, it seems like a better place to live than I thought? Well, if you don’t like that, you can create a new identity and live together secretly on the outskirts of the city.”

“…….”

“Isn’t that a pretty good story?”

It didn’t matter if it was okay or not.

If that’s true, it’s like she doesn’t have a choice.

It is better to be alive than dead.

And a world without Bjorn is dead to her.

However, Misha was not foolish enough to immediately agree.

“…Tell me the second condition.”

“Oh that? It’s simple. I need you to help me.”

“……?”

“I still needed a double-handed freeze test.”

Misha, who spoke calmly, flinched.

He was clearly smiling, but his eyes seemed to be treating him as an object rather than a person.

“…why did it have to be me?”

Misha spat out the words with difficulty, feeling an incomprehensible sense of intimidation.

I was curious about this man’s hidden intentions.

But…

“Just a whim.”

The answer that came back was different from what I expected.

“…whim?”

“Actually, it doesn’t have to be you. It’s not like Bjorn Yandel can’t spread rumors that he’s an evil spirit without you, and since you have to save him even the Stone of Resuscitation, it’s just annoying things for no reason…” The voice seemed to be dealing with an annoying burden

As a result, a sense of contempt boiled over from the tip of his toes.

“Ah, but there is one advantage.”

Lee Baek-ho smiled and stared at Misha.

“Is there any reason you can’t betray me?”

It was the reason he came here.

***

It seemed like he was going to lose his mind at the question, which seemed like he would have to start with proof of identity again, but it wasn’t too difficult to clear Erwen’s suspicious illness.

I just want to tell you the truth from start to finish.

A record fragment stone that was activated on Parune Island.

The city arrived 20 years ago.

6 months of struggling there to return to the original time zone.

For reference, the story of evil spirits was thoroughly excluded.

[No matter what anyone says, my uncle is Bjorn Yandel.]

It was never easy to lie to the person who first told me that, but I couldn’t help it.

Because this is the best way for each other.

[It’s a skill that will be of great help to you in hiding your identity in the future.]

I have a ‘gift’ from Auril Gavis.

If this works, it’s not impossible to prove that I’m not a ‘demon’.

But what if the ‘validation’ is directed towards Erwen?

So, what if my confession of evil spirits is exposed to the whole world?

‘It must be very troublesome.’

No one knows what will happen in the future.

Therefore, it is right to be careful with such a situation in mind.

‘But did that old man Auril Gavis give such a gift with this situation in mind…?’

As soon as I returned to the future, this was the news I heard, so there are suspicions, but nothing can be confirmed at this time.

“Um… So you’re saying you’re not an evil spirit?”

Whether it was true that the entity was not interested in either side, Erwen did not inquire deeply into the matter of evil spirits.

However, in an unexpected part, he persistently confirmed it.

“I’m sure……”

“Huh?”

“You’ve been with Amelia Laneways for over half a year…?”

“That’s right?”

“Did you fall in love with the man who just saved you and said you would become a teammate?”

“It’s not love or anything like that, it’s just grace—”

“If it’s because of grace, can we just throw it away?”

“…uh?”

throw away? Amelia?

Why is it suddenly like that?

Unlike before, it was a bit difficult to follow the conversation with Erwen.

So I was carefully choosing what to say.

Erwen was the first to speak.

“No matter how difficult it is, you’re a raider from Noark, right? Can you trust a woman like that?”

“But Amelia is a very useful talent…”

I kept my mouth shut.

For some reason, Erwen was smiling with meaningful eyes.

“Whoo, you’re so cute……”

A compliment I heard for the first time after entering the body of a barbarian.

As I stared at her, Erwen, perhaps noticing my gaze, covered her mouth with her hand as if she was ashamed.

But did I really want to say this?

“Mister, don’t worry about that woman. I’m here. I’ve become very strong. I don’t care if I don’t have a woman like that. I make good money and I have subordinates who can command me with a word.”

“Oh, is that so…”

“Yes. Of course, I know what you think. You must have needed someone to rely on as you were suddenly in such a situation.”

It’s like you think I’m a person who can’t live without a woman.

This was the car I was worried about whether I was sensitive or not.

“Maybe she was quite trustworthy there. Just like when I first met her…”

Erwen spat out words that must have been memory distortions and then grabbed my hand tightly.

“But don’t worry. I’m with you now.”

Having said that, to be honest, I was just bewildered.

It’s true that we were close, but did he and I have a relationship like this? To the extent that he would say this without hesitation even after meeting him after 2 years and 6 months?

“From now on, I will protect you. Yes, so…”

“So…?”

For some reason, Erwen grinned as he asked back with an ominous feeling.

“The next time we meet, I’ll definitely kill

you.” ..?”

“The girl from Rain Wales!”

***

Now I think I understand.

Why Amelia said that.

[That Yandel woman is not the fairy you knew back then.]

A 20-year-old pure fairy There was no more.

There were only fairies with extremist tendencies, as if a screw had

fallen off their head somewhere.

Instinctively, I realized that there would be no answer if I kept laughing like this hahahaha.

That’s why…

“Behel-laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!”

process, I

feel like I can do anything .

Just because I feel like I can do anything. Erwen didn’t know what he had been through, but he didn’t flinch at the sudden shouts.

Or rather, he clapped happily.

“Wow! It’s a man!”

…get down.

I tried to ignore Erwen’s reaction and opened my mouth in a strong tone.

“Erwen Amelia doesn’t kill.”

“Yes? Why?”

As expected, Erwen couldn’t be bothered.

“The less people know about a secret, the better, right? It’s the same with fragments of records and whatnot. I guess I’ll have to hide that you’re alive right now, but I don’t know why you’re keeping her alive—” ”

Enough.”

I cut off Erwen’s head and tilted his head.

He didn’t really understand why I was doing that.

I’ll take care of it, so don’t say that again. Do you understand?”

He said it once more and stared at Erwen until he answered.

Then Erwen looked around with a puzzled look and then his shoulders drooped.

“…Okay. I’ll do that.”

After looking at this, it seems that it will be controlled somehow.

After putting an end to Amelia’s problem, I discussed a few things with Erwen and headed to the surface via a secret passage.

Then…

“Don’t worry. . Because no one will see you.”

After coming out on the ground, I used the dark spirit to hide myself and moved to the inn. It was the middle of the night, so there were no people on the street, and even less skilled people who could detect stealth. “It’s small, but I’m staying here today

. please. Until tomorrow, I’ll find a better place somehow…”

” A better place…?”

This alone is the top floor with four rooms…?

It’s hard to believe that Erwen, who traveled an hour back and forth for a 1,000 stone meal just because it was delicious, but it must be that this is the passage

time

. You too?”

“Yes? This is a room I bought with my own money?”

Oh, that’s right.

I didn’t have anything to say, so while I was messing around, Erwen put me into the room.

And……. ”

Mister, do you remember this?”

I took out a bottle from the space.

I felt as if

I had fallen into a new test. ‘Do you remember…’

…Ah, I remembered.

“You’re the first returner we drank.

” I knew you’d remember it!’ I laughed happily,

but in the process, I heard information I didn’t want to know.

“Isn’t

it very romantic?

” I was keeping it to drink alone after I killed all the yeonnomams that I had to kill later. Hehe, but the day will come when I will be able to drink this with Mr……..”

What the hell happened to him?

If he is at this point, the other colleagues are a little worried…

“I’ll have a drink.”

Being drunk and being alert was his specialty, so he accepted Erwen’s request for a masterpiece.

And how long had passed.

‘I still don’t drink well.’

After a while, Erwen got drunk and lay down on the bed. Seeing him lying defenselessly down, I’m worried that he won’t be like this elsewhere… ‘No, I’m worried about something.

‘

I smiled and sat on a chair by the window.

It was a time when I thought I could understand why husbands crave so much

alone time once they get married

For a while, I activated my thoughts in earnest.

The amount of information I heard through the drunken conversation with Erwen was considerable, so I needed to organize it a little.

Raven is the 3rd Magic Corps.

Mr. Bear joined the clan to make a living.

Misha He said he didn’t know about it

at all.

Einar…

I sighed and shook my head.
