Undying Warlord

“Bring the Yalo Gardening Shear to Mira, please. Afterward, I can give you some materials to create a more powerful spear than the Kobold’s spear!”

Dilan liked Mason quite a bit. He was easy to get along with and didn’t hide his true emotions.

An easygoing, slightly naive human was hard to come across in times like these.

Thus, Dilan wanted to help him out a little bit.

When Mason heard that he could receive a reward he rushed toward Mira, giving Dilan the time to speak to Oliver and Kathrine.

“Where are Ailee, Sarah, Bianne and Pierre? I think they should be present when I report everything. Repeating myself over and over again is a little bit annoying.”

Dilan’s face was serious, clearly showing that his trip to the Krendel’s Underground Valley had been anything but easy.

However, Kathrine’s expression worsened when she heard the four names Dilan mentioned.

Even Oliver couldn’t look in Dilan’s eyes, which meant that something was wrong.

“What happened?”

Dilan was dead-tired just a moment ago._-.

But the possibility that something might have happened to the others wiped out his tiredness in an instant.

Yet, when Kathrine and Oliver looked behind them warily, Dilan frowned slightly before he suggested,

“Let’s go outside for a moment.” As an afterthought, he added the next words in a slightly louder voice, “It would be best if I show you two directly what I found at the Gate!”

Afterward, Dilan turned around to leave the cafeteria without even looking back at the Survivors who stared at him in confusion.

But their opinion and confusion were not something he could care about right now. After all, it seemed that Kathrine and Oliver had something to say that they did not want other Survivors to get to know for now.

When they were well out of earshot, Dilan slowed down before repeating his question once again,

“What happened?”

They threw another glance backward, only for Kathrine to start telling him what had happened during the last few hours.

“As you might have noticed we fixed the problem with the emergency generator of the hospital. Unfortunately, we were a bit late in turning off all lights except the one in the cafeteria.

At midnight the entire Rian mountainside hospital was lit up like a bright torch, the only source of light in the dark surrounding. Of course, this attracted the attention of humans and monsters alike.

Until just a few minutes ago, all of us were hunting down the weaker monsters that dared to hunt us!

Pierre was severely injured when someone attacked him. We haven’t even seen who attacked, but a crossbow bolt was stuck in his thigh.

We also heard the voices of some humans in the darkness, so we can be quite certain that hostile humans are currently roaming around the Rian mountainside hospital.

It is not impossible for them to have found a way inside the hospital as well. After all, there are multiple entrances!

Because Ailee felt too weak, she chose to start clearing a different tower…and Yvonne followed her.”

Kathrine frowned deeply with worry gleaming in her eyes.

She seemed to have a lot more to say but Dilan just lifted his hand.

“So nobody died, right?”

Both Kathrine and Oliver shook their heads. They were still worried about Ailee and Yvonne, but luckily nobody had died.

Sarah seemed to be fine as well, but she was likely to look after Pierre right now.

This was more than enough for Dilan to calm down.

He knew that Kathrine and Oliver were forcing themselves to stay in the cafeteria because they had to protect the other Survivors.

It was obvious that this was a difficult decision for both of them as they would have loved to be with the people they held dear.

As such, Dilan couldn’t even smile right now.

‘Either they’re too naive, or simply are the kind of people that are too good for this world…’ He sighed inwardly, quickly regained his composure, and spoke something entirely different.

“I will exchange a few Bronze Essence crystals with Bronze treasures. If anything is to use for you two, Ailee or Yvonne, just take it. Afterward, you two should look out for these two restless women!”

Dilan knew that it was important to share the information he had procured inside the Krendel’s Underground Valley, but staying alive was far more important right now.

With that in mind, Dilan quickly threw a total of 50 Bronze Essence crystals inside the small permanent Gate the moment they reached it.

Upon seeing the large number of Bronze Essence crystals, Oliver and Kathrine looked at him in doubt.

They didn’t know that the Bronze Essence crystals didn’t have much value for Dilan anymore.

As such, they presumed that he exchanged the 50 Bronze Essence crystals with treasures for their sake.

Not long after, a total of 10 Bronze treasures were thrown out of the Gate. Most of them were related to weapons. There was one leather armor, three daggers, a pair of Clawed Gloves, an earring, and four other treasures.

Dilan had hoped that, at least, one treasure would be of use to him.

However, the only thing that was slightly interesting was the Leather armor that provided protection from monsters up to Tier-1 Level 0, and a [+3 Health] boost!

But actually, even that was not something Dilan was overly interested in.

Thus, he picked up the things the others didn’t want before returning to the cafeteria.

Kathrine and Oliver rushed past the cafeteria, all the way through the huge first floor as fast as possible.

‘They should know, right?’ Dilan thought as he took a glance at Pierre’s mattress.

Two nurses tended to his wound, while some Survivors looked at Pierre’s wound with a trace of fear in their eyes.

Being secretive was not exactly Dilan’s forte, and he didn’t like to lie to others either.

As such, he cleared his throat the moment he received help in carrying the remaining Bronze treasures to the small area that looked like a weapon shop selling weapons belonging to the Middle age.

There were several ‘shelves’ filled with polished and sharpened weapons.

Most weapons Dilan saw were daggers that had been made from the horns of the horned rats.

The rat horn daggers were something they wouldn’t have long use for anymore because they required far more powerful weapons…and a lot more weapons as well!

After all, it looked like the era of peace had finally ended, if one could call the last 10 days as such.

“Everyone, please listen to what I have to say!!” Dilan suddenly announced, his voice resounding through the entire cafeteria that was loud enough to attract everyone’s attention.

“It looks like our situation has improved a lot. We have enough meat to eat for a very long time.

However, it seems like we attracted some attention from other Survivors. If they were to be amicable this would be no problem.

On the contrary, it would be great, but it looks like they’re hostile! That means we have to prepare for everything…even if that means we would be required to kill other humans!

After all, if we’re not ready to kill, we might be killed instead!”
