Episode 516 Native People (4)
The Last Great Sage, Diplan Groundel Gabrillius.
A great explorer and savior who entered the labyrinth for the first time after setting up a barrier to protect the city from the witch’s curse and opening a dimensional door connected to the labyrinth to solve the problem of scarce resources.
Almost all of the feats recorded on the top of the Stone of Fame can be safely attributed to this man.
He left an enormous footprint in the labyrinth in its primeval state, and people named something hidden in the labyrinth… that is, Hidden Peace ‘Gabrillius’ Arrangement’ after his name.
[The last great sage Diplan Groundel Gabriel and his colleagues defeated all the monsters in the Crystal Cave and opened the hidden area.]
As a child learning history for the first time is a famous person, his colleagues are also widely known. .
“…this person just talked about us?”
“Yes? Yes… that’s right…”
“No, more than that… you know… Lapdonia?”
The comrades who overheard the conversation with the village chief Brungrid fell into confusion.
Like the monsters I’ve seen speak ancient languages.
How do monsters talk to people?
Those expressions are just that, and in fact, when I look in the mirror, I probably won’t be a very different face.
But…
[I am Bryngrid, the chief of this village.]
[You must be an explorer from Lapdonia?]
[How much time has passed outside?]
A person in charge of one group. I force myself to calm down and organize my thoughts.
What is the identity of this monster?
…Actually, there was something that just came to my mind without anything to organize.
“Dragon Knight Cornelius Brungrid.”
As I spit out the name, the village chief who had been waiting silently nodded.
“That’s correct.”
Nimiral is real?
What has the shape of a monster like this?
“You dragon knight Brungrid…!”
“…I can’t believe it.”
“Wouldn’t that be a lie? He was a person thousands of years ago… Like the way he looked, and the fact that he was still alive…”
Colleagues were agitated, but the village chief did not respond to their responses.
Just looking at me alone and asking like this.
“Then can you tell me? How much time has passed outside.”
Village Chief Brungrid’s lithe voice had the power to somehow answer.
However, I skipped over this.
“I’ll ask before I answer. Can I use this?”
What would you believe and talk about in a situation where you are meeting each other for the first time?
Without looking further, I brought out ‘displaced trust’.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it……”
“So what’s the answer?”
“It’s good to use it. Rather, it’s what I want.”
Yes, that’s right…….
Seeing him willingly agreeing to it, his reliability increased, but he had no intention of not using it.
Click.
I got permission, so I immediately activated the item.
But what is this again?
“First of all, let’s check if everything goes well. Can you tell me your name?”
“This is Cornelius Brungrid.”
The “…….”
item does not work.
Not because he was telling the truth, but simply whenever the other person spoke, the item stopped.
like when i speak
“…what is this?”
“I don’t know.”
While I was confused, Versil came up to me and whispered a small whisper to me.
“Perhaps… it’s because the opponent is a monster?”
It was a pretty plausible inference.
Even I had never used this item on a monster before. If the judgment is only for people, this is also possible.
‘Or it could be a case similar to mine.’
Just in case, I tried using verification magic with the help of Versil, but it still didn’t work.
“After all, we’ll have to talk without it.”
Ha… My number of wastes…….
“Then, will you answer my question now?”
“Before that, ask me one more thing.”
“Try it.”
“If you’re really one of the great sage’s companions, why is someone like you here in a place like this, looking like that?”
“That’s…”
The village chief continued.
“I don’t know.”
“…huh?”
“It was a day no different from any other day. I was in the labyrinth, and when the time came, the labyrinth closed. But when I opened my eyes, it was not the fortress that greeted me, but this place. This hideous face was a bonus.”
“……what?”
“Why did I wake up here? Why did I become this body? Where is this place and why am I not dying?
“…….”
“I don’t know. Why this happened.”
There was no sense of sadness or resentment in the voice of the village chief Brungrid.
Do you feel like your emotions are worn out?
“I don’t think you’ll be very satisfied, but did you get an answer?”
“for now.”
Since I heard the answer, it would be natural for me to answer the question I asked.
“…Now the kingdom is 157 years old.”
“Gaebyeok…?”
“It means that 157 years have passed since the Immortal King died and a new king ascended the throne. Thousands of years have passed since the witch’s curse covered the world.”
“Thousands of years… I see.”
Surprisingly, the village headman’s reaction was calm.
It was like a balloon that had all the air blown out of it.
I don’t even think that the anxiety that is about to explode is leaking and it is going to splash in a difficult place.
‘Anyway, is it my turn now?’
I didn’t see that kind of agreement, but I didn’t see anyone complaining about this method.
‘Let’s do this this time.’
Questions were chosen carefully as there was no guarantee that the number of questions would not be limited.
“What are those monsters that look like you?”
It was the first question I heard after hearing the village chief’s story.
If you suddenly woke up one day in this place and with that look, what are the monsters that look the same?
“They’re the ones who lived on this island before me. You could say they’re natives. For some unknown reason, when I woke up, I was accepted as one of them.”
When he finished speaking, Bersil flinched and tried to mutter something, but I hurriedly stopped him.
“Mr. Yandel… This could be evil—”
“Versil.”
“Ah…”
Yes, there’s no need to give information unnecessarily.
In the yard where you don’t even know if you can trust him yet.
After giving one glance to Versil, who kept her mouth shut as if realizing her mistake, she looked at the village chief again.
‘An evil spirit.’
It must have been the word Versil was just about to say.
Perhaps the village chief Brungrid did not simply change his appearance, but possessed the body of this monster.
The reason is?
I do not know yet.
There must be so many secrets in this world.
“so?”
“I’m guessing that they may have been in a similar situation to me. However, unlike me, they didn’t have any reason left. They were highly intelligent, but they didn’t learn. Their initial appearance was no different from that of a savage beast.”
“Now they say they are human.”
“Unlike them, I neither grew old nor died. That alone was enough to become a divine being among them. I became the village headman and taught them a lot of knowledge. This island is a harsh environment to survive alone. It’s because of it. You’ll find out soon enough.”
“But why did you teach the ancient language?”
“It’s because in this form, the ancient language is much easier to learn and suits the oral structure.”
well then i have nothing to say
Making their race name ‘human’ seems like a bad taste.
“Then can I ask a question now?”
“okay.”
While obediently handing over the order to the village chief, I raised my concentration.
It was for a simple reason.
‘Does he look funny as a barbarian?’
If you’re going to lie, get caught or not.
***
Cornelius Brungrid.
I’m not sure if this guy is really one of those ancient heroes.
[I don’t know. Why did it happen like this?]
The same goes for not knowing the cause.
Maybe that statement is true or false.
Only one thing is certain right now.
[Thousands of years… I see.]
It’s bullshit that I didn’t know the time outside.
Didn’t they already catch the explorers and take them to the village? It’s a story you could have figured out if you had asked them.
‘It’s not like they don’t communicate when you see them speaking Lapdonia.’
However, he came to see me even as he left the village.
Why?
That much information could have been figured out without our help.
If you think about it, the reaction of the warriors before he appeared was also strange.
[How do monsters use our language?]
The monsters who were trying to save the village child invited me to the village after I started using the ancient language.
‘Is there a hint… in the ancient language?’
When the thoughts reached that point, the village chief’s mouth opened.
“Do you know how to get out of here?”
“I do not know.”
“Then how did you get here?”
“The stone of honor says that a hidden area has been opened. I found the entrance during exploration and came down from the first floor.”
As we were full of questions, both I and the village head quickly exchanged questions with each other.
“Why did you kill the explorer who found this place?”
“It has nothing to do with my will. It was the warriors of the village who discovered them. They seemed fearful and unconcerned as they were new intruders.”
“Okay. It’s your turn.”
“What is outside this island?”
“…Don’t you know?”
“The trees here don’t float on water.”
okay? information you didn’t know
“If the question is answered, will you answer me? What is hidden beyond the sea?”
“It’s been a while since we came, so we don’t really know. The rocky island where we started and one island about 5 hours away from this island are all.”
“I see… Thanks for letting me know. Now it’s your turn.”
The turn to come back in an instant.
I was worried that I might be touching the grass for no reason, but I decided to try it once.
“Why did you come all the way here looking for me without asking the explorers who took you to the village?”
“It’s because the rainy season starts in three days.”
“……Rainy season?”
Come to think of it, even the little monster was crying and all.
“What does that matter?”
“I couldn’t afford to use my energy elsewhere because I was preparing for the rainy season. I planned to talk to the people I slowly caught after all of that was over.”
Simply put, I was busy and didn’t have time for that.
To be honest, it sounds like an excuse.
It just makes it look more suspicious.
“It means that you came to meet me by splitting that free time. Put aside the many explorers you’ve captured.”
When I asked, revealing my feelings of doubt, the village chief stared at me.
“Are you… quite aggressive?”
“If you are an explorer, this is a natural reaction.”
“Perhaps, but you’d better be more polite to your lifesaver. The reason I didn’t finish preparing for the rainy season properly is because I was worried that you guys would die in vain.”
“What? A life saver?”
When I said this with doubt in my ears, the village chief opened his mouth in a voice that showed no emotional change
. Let’s meet here again in three days and talk.”
“Three days later…?”
I asked back,
but the village chief didn’t answer
.
I wonder if things will change just because we meet…
“Please don’t leave this island. No, I would recommend staying near here if possible. If the time is too late, I have no choice but to close the entrance to the village. Ah, I’ll leave the entrance open, so if you change your mind anytime, come back.”
“…?” “It’s okay
to keep Marupichichi until then .” I
disappeared on a side road
and
I didn’t know my intentions, so
I couldn’t hold on
to it and just watched. I hurriedly came to my senses and did what I had to do.
Ah, what I had to do was very clear.
[What exactly is Marupichichi Yugi?]
First, I told the little monster everything I could hear, including Yuqi, and then I went to the center of the island. As long as I didn’t deviate, I walked around and hunted monsters.
And that’s how time passed…
A day or two…
Click.
The second hand passed and the promised three days arrived
. 00
] The
island
began to
rain .
