190 Coins
Two minutes into a fierce battle with an error-provoking creature in the air.
Chaen!
Kuaang!
“Grrrgh!”
After the effects of the title that was last used with his attack, his body fell down again.
Boom!
Should I call the wind again? But… if I am accidentally attacked by him… ’
I felt the cold water soaking in my burning heart, and I looked at him still floating in the air.
Whether he’s using artifacts or staying in the air since he first appeared.
I’ve already used the title, so I have no choice but to attack him unilaterally.
“Oh… I’m definitely not a master to come when I see the energy. He’s a strange one.”
“… cut the crap. Let’s do it right. Come on down! ”
“I used my strange power to fly in the sky. Well, that’s impossible now. ”
The quick guy looked at me with a smile to see if he noticed that.
He looks arrogant as if he’s looking at a fish he caught.
‘Even if I use the scroll to fly, I am disadvantaged. He’s a proximity to the Orc Master. What way…’
I turned my head quickly, looking at the man who was about to wave again.
To find a way to get him off the ground, abandon the advantage of being in the air.
‘… wait. What about him?’
How it flashes and comes to mind.
I turned my head and looked at the heavenly turtle, breathing heavily from a distance.
‘He must have attacked me to save the sky turtle. ’
I didn’t understand that Humans rescued monsters, but I moved to get close to the sky turtle before he waved his hands.
“He… I knew it! ’
I turned my head to the sky and for the first time, he looked like he was about to wave his hand and frowned.
On the contrary, the sinister smile of the mouth that is built on itself towards him.
“Huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-uh. If you want to save this heavenly turtle. ”
I wonder if she would have made such a despicable face if she was next to me, even if I thought about it, a very cowardly act.
The middle-aged man ponders for a moment, then slowly opens his mouth to the ground.
“As expected, he’s from Astia. That cunning thing hasn’t changed in the past or the present or the past. ”
“… Astia? What are you talking about? ”
“Are you still going to stand there? I don’t know how you found this place, but tell Hoslyan. The piece you’re looking for refuses to go back. ”
“What are you talking about? If it’s Hoslyan…”
Before I could answer anything, he came down close to the ground, hurrying with his hands up at a rapid pace.
“Just one more thing…! Haaaaa!”
A weapon whose hands are surrounded by his error, whose strength and power will not be shattered by my sword.
You draw your sword forward rather than hitting it directly.
Chaen!
‘Be.’
I was satisfied with the sword and the hand that bounced off each other without exploding even after the error and error hit me, and swung the sword again.
Chaen! Chaen!
An error that does not explode with most force spilled no matter how many times it is hit.
‘The battle with the Iraqi guy helped a lot. ’
I realized by fighting with the Iraqi Sign twice.
I have always been too obstinate about confrontation, believing in only high physical abilities.
Swordsmanship is a skill that defeats powerful opponents with weak power.
Chaen!
“… What is this absurd sword? ”
But the middle-aged man did not feel that way, tilting his head and ignoring my sword.
Yes, it must be strange for his level of skill to suddenly switch from a power-driven sword to an awkward one.
“I’m sorry I didn’t get a chance to practice before this! Haaaaa!”
For me, most of the swordsmanship I have built up in battle is training and practice every time.
And a test of a similar level to mine was a training partner that was more helpful to me than the cause of death.
Kwajic!
“Grrrgh!”
“So clumsy. ”
When he was forced to take the spilled sword, he felt a tearing shock because he was unprepared.
What wouldn’t have happened had you used a power-driven sword as usual.
‘… There was this problem. No, because my sword is still clumsy. ’
Taking a step back to recover from the shock for a moment, I stood there without attacking him.
“… You must be from Astia. ”
The face of a middle-aged man who can’t understand me.
What the hell is Astia?
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Why don’t you talk some sense into him? ”
“One more thing. Why did you come alone? I know you’re strong, but Hosnian knew it wouldn’t work on me. ”
Once again, from the mouth of a middle-aged man.
This time he only said what he wanted to say and opened his mouth before waving again.
“Wait! Is it true Hosnian was the knight of the Karsia family? Hoslyan de Parlan! ”
“… Knowing Hoslyan, you call him by his name? What’s your connection to Astia? Weren’t you part of the organization? ”
“Organization… I just came to Antigas looking at Hosnian’s note. ”
When he heard my answer, he looked surprised and confused with wrinkles on his forehead.
“…. A note. ”
“A note from Hoslyan to the Karsias. Does that give you an answer? Now answer my question. ”
“Let me ask you one more question first. How did Hoslyan find the note left by the Karsias? ”
“That? I found it in the underground treasure vault, courtesy of Lord Karsia. ”
“Then…”
I thought to myself, looking at the troubled one.
‘If he has a conscience, he’ll answer my questions. ’
That’s why I answered his question.
He seemed to know a lot about Hoslyan, which is very important to me.
The middle-aged man reaches down and extends his hand forward to see if he has finished his worries.
“You didn’t come from Astia. ”
“When did I say I was from Astia or something? I don’t remember that. What do you have to do with Hoslyan? And this is the Pelcaru cemetery? ”
“… What a strange one. How did they find out this place was a Pelcaru grave? ”
‘I’m just saying what I don’t want to say anymore. ’
I didn’t think there was such a thing as a conscience.
You said you were going to ask me one more question, and you heard the answer, and you asked me in a row.
Seeing that it was ridiculous, even the middle-aged coughed awkwardly.
“As much as I don’t know how you found out, this is the Pelcaru’s tomb. It’s a place built in ancient times. ”
“You’re right, right? Finally…”
I can’t believe I’m finally getting to where Hoslian left me.
If Riika was next to me, they would have hugged each other and shouted for joy. It took me a lot of time to get here.
“Is that the unit price? Now, to my question…”
While taking a pause at joy, he suddenly shook his hand as he looked at the opportunity to ask the question again.
“Wait! We’re not done yet. I want to know who you are, what your organization is, what Astia is! ”
“… there’s no reason for me to tell you that. ”
“Then put it back together. I just thought it was important that this place was a Pelcaru grave. ”
I raised my sword to see what I can do, and I shook my head as if he had lost.
“Hnng… I can’t tell you about Astia. ”
“And who might you be? ”
“… I am Hoslyan de Parán. That’s who I am. ”
“Yeah… huh? ”
Hosalian de Parán, a master of order who suddenly left a note saying he had to enter the Monster’s Residence.
A figure appeared in front of me claiming to be Hoslian.
At the location of the real Hoslyan note.
* * *
After a 10-minute conversation with a middle-aged man who claimed to be Hoslyan, I was a little curious, but I had no choice but to admit he was actually Hoslyan.
He knew too much about the Karsias that Baran had heard about, and most of all, had a ring with the Karsian token on it.
“If that ring is real, then that’s Hoslian. ’
I’ve seen the same ring as that one.
The ring he had on his hand when I first met the Marquis of Carsia at Carsia Manor.
“Curr…”
“Phew… This should be enough for the sky turtles to recover on their own. ”
With the potion handed to me, Hosnian sighs as if it were a relief to heal the wounds from the heavenly turtles.
“Hoslyan, is there a reason you’re treating monsters? Honestly… I don’t get it from my perspective. ”
“Haha, a monster… Maybe. But this one is much different from the monsters you know. ”
“What is it? ”
“This… sky turtle is a species born of human greed. Poor kid. ”
“Yes?”
I was really surprised by what Hossian said, as if I was facing a huge monster in front of me.
A monster called the sky turtle is created by human greed.
“You’re surprised.”
“Of course not… Monsters are made by human hands. Oh! Don’t tell me Chimera…? ”
A little guess is that this is a chimera called the Black Wizard remnant I heard from Uncle Jeff.
But I laughed as if Hoslyan was fun to ask if I guessed wrong.
“Haha, Chimera… I feel pathetic for doubting you as a member of the Astian organization. ”
“Yes? I think you said something bad…”
“Did you really come all the way here after seeing that note? Do you know what’s in here? ”
“As I said, it was a journey that began out of curiosity. For the first time, I didn’t think I had to come here. ”
I mean, what’s the point of targeting antigas?
To give you a little time to recover?
Or is it the curiosity that began with what was left of the human being called the Error Master?
‘The thing is… I never thought I’d see a real Hoslyan here. ’
“I see… But how do you know the language of Lumas? If that wasn’t the Pelcaru… By the way, you knew the Pelcaru as well. ”
“It wasn’t a penis, it was a coincidence. And so do the Pelcaros. ”
We still don’t know if he’s a good guy or a bad guy.
Error masters are too dangerous to divulge information.
“Hnng… You’re not going to tell me. Well, it wouldn’t matter if it wasn’t for Astia. ”
“Astia keeps saying that. Can’t you just tell her? What that organization does. Oh! And what about the pieces from Hoslyan earlier…”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you the whole truth like you can’t. And go… for you. Hmmm.”
You can’t bring your curiosity to its fullest and tell me.
You look at Hoslyan’s irresponsible remarks with your eyes wide open.
“… I can’t tell you with those eyes. ”
‘If only there was a Liecha…! ’
If there had been a cute kitten, that resolute Hoslian would have been on his knees.
You turn your back on the sadness and express your sympathy to Hoslyan that he can’t tell you anything.
“Then what the hell are you trying to tell me? Those who want to know the truth of the continent, you left them here. ”
“… Do you really want to know the truth? ”
He took his smile off his mouth and looked at me with a serious look.
“Yes, I came here for one reason only. ”
“There’s no turning back once you hear it. You will no longer have a normal life. Most of all, it has nothing to do with you. ”
“It’s a long way from normal life. ”
The moment the monsters invaded my hometown of Bernov, the smooth path of my life was gone.
All I have left now is the life of a dead predator.
“Phew… Well, since you saw my note and came all the way here, you have to keep your promise. Come on, I’ll tell you the truth. ”
Hoslyan nods a few times while thinking about it and shakes his hands.
Phew.
His body and my body slowly rose into the air.
‘This is different from the wind. It’s not an error… It’s a Mana technique. ’
The wind surrounds you, and you feel the strong scent of Mana.
I wondered how he, the master, could do such a trick, but before that, I saw Hoslyan climbing up the aisle and buried the question in my mind.
‘The truth comes first. ’
Why Hoslyan had to go underground a few decades ago.
After all the hard work, the truth came to my attention.
Just reach out and get close enough.
