Chapter 54 Remnants (3)
As I cleared the goblins one by one, I looked around.
I thought that I had raised my senses in my own way by taking classes and training at Constell, but now it was impossible for me to find out where the criminal was watching.
I have to leave it to Gregory.
‘by the way.’
I glanced briefly at the goblins whose eyes flashed with vicious momentum without getting tired. Now there are three left. There seemed to be no fear of death, but there seemed to be hesitation.
If you rush in like this, you will surely die, as if you knew that much.
‘I don’t think I’ve completely lost my reason.’
Previously, there were things I learned after the incident where Hephaestus intervened in Edwin in the Golem incident, and Serp’s business card incident.
It’s not that easy to control someone.
Edwin misunderstood that he had changed his mind, but there was a clear trigger called me, and the instigator was ‘God’ in the first place.
Serp’s business card has a certain effect in terms of ‘manipulation’, but it does not move unless an order is given, and at a glance it gives the impression that it is being manipulated.
‘These guys are not both.’
I’m not completely sane. But it’s not like a doll. There is a clear living on me, the focus is blurry, but it attacks at will. There is no sign of anyone giving orders.
A way to temporarily increase only one emotion, or.
‘… … Are you drunk?’
Whoops! Whoops!
I pierced the neck and chest of a nearby goblin to death, and briefly looked at the black cloth buried in its body.
‘Sometimes.’
Because you can’t notice it, just a little bit.
I tried to react the black cloth using ‘weaving’.
‘… … It’s okay.’
As soon as I saw the black cloth on them move, I quickly canceled the weaving.
Seeing that my weaving responds perfectly, it is clear that what these guys are buried in is black cloth.
And although it was somewhat expected, I felt a little resistance. Black spring is originally a liquid, so in order to use it this way, you have to constantly deal with magical powers.
‘I succeeded easier than I thought.’
He must have succeeded in weaving through the opponent’s magic, but the resistance wasn’t that great. It seemed like my weaving was acting as a stronger force.
I don’t want to express it like a game, but it felt like a rating advantage.
“Whoa.”
After killing the remaining goblins, I sighed.
It wasn’t a big deal for me to interfere with my mind and make myself alone and attack.
‘In my mind, I want to retrieve the Heukcheon right away.’
Let’s postpone it for now.
You can’t do anything stupid until you know its identity and purpose.
Anyway, what I’m trying to get is a fragment of Helheim. Considering that, the black cloths buried here by the goblins are only a handful.
“Then the way back… … .”
I cleared my mind and remembered the road I had walked up to here.
I remembered the directions, the location of the accommodation, and even the distance. The mental interference seemed to be resolved.
After all, after being beaten by the knights one after another, the spirit body is not a horse. In this state, without weaving, I caught a goblin with only combat skills, so I guess I’ve grown up quite a bit.
… … Or are the goblins in this world weaker than the game? I don’t know because I met him for the first time today.

“Did you find it?”
[of course.]
The crow said confidently.
What Gregory saw was a girl sitting in a tree. I found a hidden witness of my battle.
[She was a woman who hid her face well. He looked quite young.]
“How young were you?”
[He looked about the same age as you.]
“… … Is that young?”
[How old do you think you are?]
I was 17.
Yes, I forgot for a moment. Frontier is a first year student at Constell. let’s not forget
“Didn’t you notice your existence?”
[You saw me. crow But you wouldn’t even dream of being watched. My skills have never been caught by anyone. I didn’t get caught by that ‘Inies’ either.]
When you say Inies, you mean Elodie.
“You caught it. Elodie knew.”
[It was because of the gaze! Even if Serp didn’t tell me to spy so stubbornly, I was able to get over it. And I felt the gaze, not the real thing. That’s my ability.]
Gregory stood outstretched, feeling immensely proud of his abilities. As the crow was doing it, it was pitiful and unlucky.
“What about clothes?”
[Nothing special. Yeranhes It was an outfit you could wear anywhere. However, the face is immediately recognizable unless it is a mask. It’s not a good face for secret secrets.]
“Why?”
[It was an overly excellent appearance. It was not a face that looked cheap like a prostitute, but a face that was clean and dignified and pitiful at the same time as any famous knight would believe. He was blonde with green eyes. Even an elf who disappeared a long time ago would have nodded.]
Excessively great looks.
I have never seen such a face since coming to Yeranhes.
But if your attire is plain, it’s probably.
“It must be somewhere around here.”
[okay. And there is a high probability that he is wearing a mask on a regular basis, not the one who works. You’re doing the opposite of the usual back-work kids. If you live your daily life with an overly outstanding appearance, you will get caught up in troublesome things.]
hmmm.
Of course, when I came, I wouldn’t have suddenly led a life of wearing a mask. You must have been doing that from the beginning.
In other words, is it the feeling that someone from the other world is active in Yeranhes due to a mission, and I have unexpectedly invaded there?
“… … What is the purpose of Ampere?”
[Why?]
“Even if it melts into daily life, if your main job is crime, you can’t stay in the same place for long. So, keep the task as short as possible. It’s not easy for me to come here by chance. Perhaps the reason he came to Yeranhes is not far from my expectations.”
Ampere comes to the edge of the wall every winter to stop it. It’s the same whether I come or not.
In other words, the meeting between me and him is not a mere coincidence.
Originally, he started his mission with the purpose of Ampere, but unexpectedly, this time he even came to Yeranges, so my presence suddenly got in the way. It is appropriate to think this way.
[Really?]
“What are you pretending to be surprised? You were thinking the same thing.”
[No, I can’t. Beyond that thought, I was actually thinking that if Ampere was really the purpose, it wouldn’t be murder. It doesn’t make sense for you to get in the way because it’s not feasible, and if you’re going to kill Ampere, you have almost no contact points. You and I were thinking completely different things.]
this child.
I got a little fever, but I passed because I was saying the right thing. That, too, would help Gregory himself.
I said another thought came to mind.
“And there are a few things I learned from dealing with goblins.”
[what?]
“The Black Heaven is probably not a fragment of Helheim itself.”
[Why do you think so?]
“If that’s the case, there’s no way Helheim’s fragments could be trapped in the glacier.”
[…] … ho.]
This is a question I had before I came to Yeranhes.
If, as the warden Esther said, the fragments of Helheim were ‘a huge lake trapped in a glacier’.
Why was the Black Heaven, a part of it, discovered in the form of a fake Mystyltain in the dungeon, and now it is in my hand?
At first, I thought that the fragments of Helheim were not completely enclosed, and that there was an open area somewhere. Or, literally, cracks and leaks.
However, if it were, the Black River would have to be discovered more. Heukcheon has never appeared in the game except during the ‘Nobility Meeting’. Of course, when I played it as a game, it was just ‘black water’, although I didn’t name it black cloth.
“The thing the goblin buried was obviously black cloth. The fragments of Helheim and the Black Sky are definitely not related. But it’s not exactly the same. Leftovers from doing something with Helheim’s fragments? I think it might be something like that.”
When I fight, I fight using all kinds of weaving, black cloth, menosorpo, etc. This is because they complement each other’s limitations.
Conversely, each of these is blatantly ambiguous in its use when viewed in isolation.
Weaving was originally meant to be a virtual image, and Menosorpo, an unworkable metal that only hardens when pressed against a liquid subject without weaving, might have been better used by someone other than me.
I’m using it as a set, but this set isn’t really a set. things unrelated to each other.
Seen from that perspective, the black cloth could not be said to be of high value.
It is a liquid when standing still, but turns into a solid solid when applied with force, which is impossible for a metal. With such very strange magical characteristics, the Black Heaven is of low value.
That is, isn’t there a ‘real’ that has the same magical characteristics as the Black Heaven?
[Is that a fragment of Helheim?]
“I think so.”
I took out the necklace black lotus and looked at it for a moment.
The new Black Lotus created by Edwin, Vinkis, and Dawood now is completely recreated from zero, so this Black Lotus was not needed now. Thanks I was able to get it.
The black water in it, the black spring. I’ve gotten a lot of help from this guy so far.
As with weaving in the beginning, I don’t know anything about black cloth yet.
it’s time to know
“I don’t know why he attacked me, or why he showed it while burying the goblin in black cloth.”
I don’t like being stared at blindly.
If there is someone who is aiming at me, I also create reasons to aim at him.
And the reason was clear to him.
“You seem to like tests.”
Then, instead of testing others, would you be happy if you were in a position to be tested?
I won’t let you down.

The next day, I headed to the barracks as usual.
In other words, if you attacked me, you saw me somewhere. They may have made eye contact, greeted each other, or passed each other.
As Gregory said, if you are a woman with excellent looks, of course, you will be active while wearing a mask.
“Sylvan, I have a question for you.”
“what?”
As a test, I used the skill ‘Analysis’ on the Silvan.
[Sylvine]
– The commander of the ‘Roach Knights’.
– An elite who caught the eye of Ampere early on due to his excellent skills, popular people, and strong belief. His belief for the safety of citizens will not be broken even if it is broken.
– Recently, I am interested in Frontier and want to teach him. 15% chance of being invited to join.
– Originally left-handed, but changed to right-handed through correction. It was so young that I can’t remember. If you hold the sword with your left hand, you will achieve higher growth.
“If you have a sword in both hands, should you decide which hand to block?”
“First of all, I don’t recommend it, but if you have to, it’s better to decide. If a sword is held in the hand that should hold the shield, the sword must simultaneously check and defend. And don’t interfere with the sword in the other hand.”
Silvain answered my questions faithfully.
It seemed that he did not notice the ‘analysis’. It was the same as when I ‘analyzed’ Selena. The analysis goes unnoticed by others.
In the process of analyzing Silvain, I learned information I didn’t expect, but that’s for later.
‘Well then.’
I don’t know who the culprit is.
Let me introduce you to a simpler way to find out who your opponent is.
