Chapter 66
Episode 66:
The knights returned and visited William.
After telling the Ellises to go around the city separately and play.
I was pretty tired of trying to stop Ellis from following me.
“So you’re going to the North now?”
William looked at me as if I was dumbfounded.
Ignoring his reaction, I picked up the tea cup and drank some tea.
Oh, this is kind of delicious.
It’s not particularly delicious, but it’s just ordinary.
“Haa….”
William sighed.
What kind of place is the North? I can’t believe I’m going there.
“Give me another drink.”
“Is the car going over now?”
William grumbled, but poured tea into his cup.
half a year.
During that time, I became quite close to William.
“Why are you going to the North?”
“I have something to do.”
“What’s the point of doing that…”
William was silent for a moment, then took out a few pockets in front of me and placed them on the table.
“You prepared me. “I had a hard time getting this.”
“uh. great job.”
William taps the table.
Then he took a deep sigh and said:
“The situation in the north is not good right now. “I recommend going next time… but you probably won’t.”
“I know.”
“But this is real. It’s very dangerous now. be careful.”
Instead of answering, he smiled quietly.
He shook his head as if he couldn’t stop him.
There was a reason I wanted to go north.
‘Because that’s why the main character was able to attack the continent.’
North.
A region also called the land of monsters.
A place that can be considered the home of all monsters on the entire continent.
The reason why the main character caused the entire continent to fall into fear.
The protagonist uses monsters in the north a year from now.
From now on, we are going to the North to stop it.
“Are you sure you don’t mind not going back?”
“yes.”
Originally, Ellis was planning to return to the Count’s family.
It was very dangerous for her to go to the North, as she had no particular killing ability.
It’s almost like committing suicide.
And since she wouldn’t be in the North for very long, Ellis could just do what she normally did at the count’s house during that time.
But Ellis was more stubborn than I thought.
He says he won’t go back and will follow me even if it means dying.
Although it is admirable that he wants to help me in any way possible.
“I may not be able to protect you.”
This was sincere.
The North was such a dangerous place that it was difficult for even the main character to be sure whether he would live or die.
There were many obstacles to taking her, who had no power, to such a place.
So I tried to send it back with the drivers.
“I am your maid.”
With that one word, I no longer told her not to go away.
Whatever it is, the decision is hers to make.
And honestly, I feel comfortable having her follow me.
From sleeping to eating.
Because it was true that I felt comfortable with her around.
“If that’s the case… instead, you protect your life.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
I didn’t say anything more to her.
If she has said this, the rest is up to her.
I turned my head from her and looked back at Mahol.
I was carefully holding the new daggers I bought in my arms and stroking the blades.
The blade of the existing one was damaged, and I couldn’t let such a flimsy weapon be used when going to the north.
The second reason for going to the north was because of Mahol.
‘It’s an optimal place to increase your strength.’
There is a saying: high risk, high return.
They say that as hard as it is, the reward comes back.
The north was dangerous enough that you could die if you made a mistake, but on the contrary, it was a very good place to develop strength.
It was the same for me.
The monsters in the north are difficult even for knights.
Because most monsters could only be dealt with using Auras.
It was not for nothing that there was a saying that those who survived in the North would become sword masters.
This is because the use of Aurors is bound to increase.
It was the best training place for knights.
And in fact, Count Warrug became a sword master after living in the North for several years before becoming the head of the family.
“I think I’m ready. “Then let’s leave.”
Everything is ready.
I threw away the things I didn’t need and took only the things I needed.
‘It’s never too late.’
I decided to move at a brisk pace.
There was something wrong with the main character.
The reason why Raymond did not die and why he went to Count Warrug has disappeared.
In that case, I had to return to the academy right away.
There was no need to continue to be there when there was no reason to be there.
But the fact that you’re not coming to the academy means that you’re plotting something else.
‘There are so many things that come to mind.’
If everything has been done ahead of time, then you should not be relaxed.
At least I can put my mind at ease once I finish my work in the North.
There is so much to worry about.
“Is it that good?”
“yes. I feel like I can do anything that feels good in my hands.”
I shook off all my distracting thoughts when I saw Mahol giggling as if he had just gotten the toy he wanted.
Okay, so what should I do after worrying about this?
It hasn’t happened yet, and you know what’s going to happen, so you just have to deal with it in advance.
‘Rather, I have the advantage.’
I, who know the future, have an advantage over the protagonist who knows nothing.
Although the content may have changed, the overall framework remained the same.
“Mahol.”
“yes.”
“Do you know anything about the North?”
“North? Umm….”
Mahol cupped his chin and was lost in thought.
This is what comes to mind as soon as you hear the word northern.
“It’s the place with the most monsters… isn’t it?”
“that’s right. “It can be said to be the beginning of all monsters.”
Only once in the original.
There was once an explanation of what the North was like.
There were a lot of monsters there that weren’t found in the center or the south.
“It’s a very dangerous place.”
If it had been the way it was, no one should have gone in there.
The only people who go into danger where life or death cannot be guaranteed are those who commit suicide because life is painful.
“But on the other hand, it is also a land of opportunity.”
“Land of opportunity?”
“uh.”
There are monsters that live only there.
Not only is it strong, but it also has regenerative power comparable to that of a troll and monster strength comparable to that of an ogre.
Commonly known as Raid.
That monster with a name that only appears in games.
As its name suggests, it was so powerful that it could only be hunted by a group of Sword Experts.
It’s not a dragon. Dragons have not been seen for hundreds of years, so much so that some say they are extinct or hiding from human eyes.
‘Raid. The monster was hunted and the magic world started a revolution.’
The monster that had eaten countless knights was caught by a man.
“Since then, the prices of by-products from monsters have skyrocketed.”
The man who hunted Reid then destroyed the wall and gave the by-products to his friend, the wizard.
The wizard’s family that received the by-product was able to be reborn as a famous family in an instant.
That was the millennium.
A case that became a famous family as a by-product of the raid that Count Warrug hunted.
Since then, evaluations of monsters have also changed.
I learned that those by-products could become magic ingredients.
“That’s where we’re going.”
Of course, we are not going after the by-products.
There was only one thing I would go and do.
‘egg.’
Reid’s egg.
To monsters, Raid is like king.
The protagonist steals the king’s egg and brings it to the center.
Of course, Reid got angry and attacked the humans with all the monsters.
From then on, you don’t need to explain anything.
You might be thinking that killing Reid would be okay.
Ironically, raids are essential in nature.
Because there is a raid, the number of monsters is adjusted.
If you don’t want a monster wave to occur, you shouldn’t kill the raid.
‘And the best way is to hatch the eggs.’
When Reid is an egg, he tries to protect it even at the cost of his everything, but once the egg hatches, that paternal love fades away.
From the moment we are born, it is survival of the fittest.
What I will do is hatch the egg.
After that, it doesn’t matter what the protagonist does.
***
There was a process you had to go through to enter the North.
It was not possible to enter and leave at will.
However, this does not mean that you can sneak in illegally.
‘It’s very annoying if you go in without permission.’
And even if you don’t do that, the door to the north will open soon.
I will then go out through that door.
Because you don’t have to use your real name.
You can move using a pseudonym.
“And there’s something to be gained there…”
“Yes?”
“What did you say?”
“ah. no. nothing.”
I shook my head to look away from them.
While doing so, he stroked the sword at his waist.
A knight’s sword given by the crown prince.
This sword is more for decoration than for killing.
The sun had risen.
Although it was for decoration, it was a real sword, not a false sword.
But that was it.
This sword, which had great symbolic meaning, was in many ways inconvenient to use in actual combat.
Even the knight commander’s sword, which was a famous sword, was too much for my aurors.
As soon as the aura was blown into it, it screamed and cracked.
Even a well-trained sword would not be able to withstand the aura of the sword given by the crown prince.
‘The father-in-law says he doesn’t blame the tools, but that’s all bullshit.’
No matter how skilled a craftsman is, there are limits to using poor tools.
Of course, better tools can be used to bring out the craftsman’s skills properly.
I did that.
Even the knight commander’s sword, which was swung with auras on it from time to time, could not withstand my auras.
So even if it is a different sword, it won’t be much different.
However, it is not possible to carry dozens of swords.
I’m trying to get a sword on this trip to the north.
‘The protagonist’s sword.’
There was a sword that the protagonist got by chance when he stole Reid’s egg.
A sword said to have been made by dwarves in the ancient past.
It is immune to the protagonist’s eccentric auras and is sharp enough even without using auras.
I will take that sword.
“I’m looking forward to it.”
It makes me feel good to think that I am taking the sword that the main character should have had.
Because part of the reason the main character became stronger could be in that sword.
The sword that allowed me to freely use my auras is now mine.
The main character’s power is reduced.
“It looks evil.”
“Something is a little scary.”
“….”
I guess my expression was too blatant.
The faces of the group sitting across from me became strange.
“why?”
“Oh, it’s nothing.”
“My butt hurts a lot. “Reina, are you okay?”
“Hmm.”
They avoided my gaze.
I laughed at the way they cleared their throats and worried about each other’s butts.
‘Now that I think about it, she must be there by now.’
There is another reason why I am trying to go north now.
There was someone I needed to meet in the North.
A necessity to obtain the sword.
‘If it goes according to the original story, she will try to go to the North.’
To obtain materials, improve skills, and gain practical experience.
Beatrice heads north and achieves many things there.
But the funny thing is that no one in the North recognized her.
While I was still thinking about it, something suddenly occurred to me.
“Oh, did you take that?”
There were a few items that seemed to have been stolen from William.
In one of them, William was extremely aggressive and said no.
In terms of value, it’s about a million gold.
“You can’t lose that. “Because it’s expensive.”
“all right.”
At my words, Ellis holds the magic bag tightly in her arms.
Looking at her like that, I burst into laughter.
I said this as a joke, but it’s cute that you take it seriously.
‘Let’s think again.’
What I have to do in the North.
In a city leading to the North, he meets Beatrice, forms a team, and uses her powers to obtain the protagonist’s sword.
He then hatches Reid’s egg and destroys the protagonist’s plan.
Hee hee hee!
It was when I was just organizing my thoughts.
The carriage suddenly stops.
It didn’t feel like we were living separately.
I came out wondering.
“What is that?”
Why was there a huge rock blocking the road?
