F-class adventurer of suspicious rumors
“Isn’t it covering even one family member too much?”
At Hyeonjun’s grumbling words, the priest said with a determined face.
“Brother, you can lose to Edelia just once, isn’t it too much? What if we keep losing like that and our Ethelia dies?”
Hyunjoon decided not to say anything. Thinking of Idelia as the temple’s mascot in a corner of my heart made me feel at ease. Well, maybe it was a bit too much for a fourteen-year-old. But losing is also a bit like that. Idelia would immediately recognize that Hyun-joon looked after her. Will he accept such a victory?
‘On the contrary, isn’t it climbing all the way to the top of your head?’
can never give up Hyeonjun ate the stew with a promise in his heart. Today, I am eating dinner in the kitchen, avoiding the messy restaurant with children. They say that the children from the northern slums will be returned to the facility tomorrow, and then this situation will also be avoided.
‘I should get the request as soon as possible, but…’
In fact, it is difficult for Hyeon-jun to stay at the temple. He must collect karma as soon as possible and raise his adventurer rank. Once you become D-class, you won’t be ignored like now. E-class is a place where you can rise if you just keep building up your performance. You have to be at least D-class Oh, they say this guy still fights. You can tell by looking at the quest board in the guild. Class F and Class E are stuck in both corners. In fact, there are a lot of people in F-class who want to think that even this kind of person is still alive. I don’t think there’s much difference in the perception of E-class. Well, even if it’s a D-class, it’s just to the point of being treated like a human being.
‘But looking at the guild, it doesn’t look very good…’
The guild staff openly tried to call Hyeon-jun over. It must have something to do with nobility. Even if there was help from the priest, it was as if Hyeon-jun rejected it in the end. Nobles aren’t idiots, and there’s no way they don’t know that. The guild will also be in a difficult situation, and it will not be very friendly to Hyeon-jun.
‘I can’t stay in one place for a long time.’
Come to think of it, mealtime is not an issue. Hyeonjun decided to open Scanden. Rumors have already spread, and the nobles and guilds seem to hate it. There’s nothing good about staying here for too long. Even if he had the protection of the temple, he would not be able to protect him all the time. It would be better to just run away while the nobles are stranded. The sooner the better. I have to leave Scanden right away tomorrow morning.
“I must leave Scanden tomorrow.”
“yes?”
At the end of the meal, some of the priests nodded at Hyeon-jun’s words, but some looked back in embarrassment.
“It must be difficult for Brother June to continue to work in Scanden.”
At the priest’s words, everyone’s expression turned gloomy, and the kitchen became quiet.
“Idee must be very sad. Please tell Ide too.”
“Sure.”
Edelia is not here as she is having dinner with her children at a restaurant.
“Um, that’s a bit disappointing.”
“Well, it’s not going to go away at all, so can’t we see it again someday?”
It was only then that the priests laughed at Hyeonjun’s words. Hyeon-jun waited in front of the restaurant after eating and winked at Idelia among the crowd of children. Idelia pursed her lips when she saw Hyeon-jun, but approached him without saying anything.
“Is there a problem?”
He looks sad as if his anger at the shocking defeat hasn’t been resolved. Hyunjoon patted her on the head and smiled.
“I’m leaving Scanden tomorrow. I want to tell you in advance.”
“yes.”
Edelia was unexpectedly not surprised or regretful. Rather, Hyeon-joon was saddened by that calm reaction.
“Kid, are you going to act like this with what you lost earlier?”
“Not like that.”
“Does it seem right?”
“Because it’s not!”
“Oh hey, look at how sensitive you are. She’s a full-on teenage girl. Ah, puberty, right?”
Idelia punched Hyeon-jun in the chest, but didn’t rush at him. Knowing that Idelia was trying to hide her disappointment, Hyeonjun stroked Idelia’s hair.
“Well, yes.”
“yes.”
“Okay, wash well and sleep. It’s nice to see your hair grow so quickly. I heard somewhere that massaging the scalp like this is helpful.”
Idelia stood silently while Hyeon-jun stroked and patted her hair. Hyeonjun gave him a last rough stroke and then slapped him on the back.
“Straighten your shoulders!”
“Cee…”
“Uh huh, you have to write your words well. Are you reaching the priest Deliana?”
“all right!”
Edelia grumbled and walked away. Hyeonjun smiled and sat down in the corner of the courtyard. Looking up at the sky, the moon looks so bleak. It seems like he did the best he could, but it’s like this. This beggar-like goddess makes her do the same things without giving proper compensation. You can’t refuse either. The position of perfect Eul.
“Whoa…”
“Brother June. Do you have any concerns?”
“Ah, is the priest here?”
Elizabeth, who approached without a sound, asked anxiously. Hyeon-joon, who has sensitive senses, is so faint that he doesn’t know when he came. I wasn’t too surprised though. It seemed that it would be the same even if Elizabeth suddenly jumped out of the ground or fell from the sky.
“If you have any concerns, let me know. Sometimes just confiding in someone makes me feel better.”
“Well, actually, I’m leaving Scanden tomorrow.”
“Is it because of the nobles?”
“yes. Even the guild looks suspicious.”
Hyeon-jun felt that Elizabeth’s spirit was getting colder. really creepy
“It is really sad.”
“No, what. That’s how people live. How many things do you think will happen?”
“…”
Elizabeth stared at Hyeon-jun’s face. Hyeonjun averted his eyes, feeling burdened by her gaze. Because of that, I couldn’t see the deep sadness and compassion in her eyes.
“Have you decided where you are going?”
“I don’t know yet. Great. Where can I go?”
“Is there anything you want?”
Hyunjoon pondered for a moment. What to wish for. Of course there is.
“It would be nice if there were more monsters and thieves.”
At those words, Elizabeth smiled brightly.
“Huhu, it brightens my heart to hear that you will personally step up for the helpless.”
“Aren’t you doing it all for money?”
I said sorry, but it was actually because I had to kill something because of karma.
“yes. Of course you would.”
Elizabeth smiled softly and said in a tone that she would move on. It seemed that Hyun-joon’s lies were words to hide his shyness. Hyeon-joon laughed hard, but he felt cold fear deep inside. It’s really scary to fall behind.
“Actually, on the way to this place, the three-eyed play suddenly stopped and I heard the story of the village suffering. I wanted to kill everyone right away for the sake of the village, but Scanden’s business was so urgent that I promised myself that I would stop by and kill the Knolls later.”
‘Do I really have to say it so scary?’
“If you go up the Senten River and go a short distance west of the riverside village of Taxis Mansion, you will come to the Red Forest Village.”
‘The village name is really rough.’
“Why Red Forest Village?”
“In the fall, the entire forest is dyed red with autumn leaves. Fall is coming soon, and if you have time, you can see it.”
“Who are the three-eyed play?”
“Actually, it is said that there is not much difference from normal gnolls. It just has one more eye. First of all, I think it’s a mutated monster that always exists.”
After going through this incident, I feel anxious for no reason, but I don’t think it’s bad because I have Elizabeth’s words and I have to kill at least one more right now. To be honest, it’s better if it’s strong. You can get more karma.
“All right. Red Forest Village in Taxis Manor. I will go there.”
“It is reassuring to know that someone like Brother Jun is going to help. Then, leave the Red Forest Village to Brother Jun, and as soon as the work in Scanden is over, I will go back to the Great Temple and kill the monsters.”
I say it with a bright smile, but it’s really scary. They communicate, but it seems to be out of sync somewhere, so it gives you a strange feeling of displeasure and chills. I’d rather have my eyes turned inside out and shout out that I’ll kill everyone, and I think I’ll feel more friendly to a crazy guy who’s insane at first glance.
“How are the preparations for the trial going?”
From noble mtl dot com
“It was set for the morning of the day after tomorrow. ah.”
Elizabeth suddenly erased her smile and muttered with a cold expression. However, unlike his facial expression, he has a blazing tone as if he is barely suppressing it.
“About the guards who came the other day, they said they were ordered to bring Brother June to Molt Street. I went to the Malt family to check, but they couldn’t answer, so I had no choice but to detain the head of the household and the two barons, and the investigation is ongoing. It is not yet known whether the ringleader of this incident is involved, but we will take good measures so that Brother Jun is not harmed.”
“yes. That’s good.”
Hyunjoon swallowed and said. There would be no lies when she said that she would take good care of Elizabeth, although she was afraid. I don’t know what will happen to those aristocrats, but I have a hunch that there will be no interference in Hyeon-jun’s life in the future.
“How are you going to get to Red Forest Village? If you’re not sure, I might be able to help you a little.”
“No, I know someone.”
“Huh, I understand.”
Elizabeth rose silently.
“I have to go see little Ide. It must be really upsetting for that pretty hair to end up like that. It would be nice if there was a way to comfort you…”
“Wouldn’t it be better to just be by your side than to bring up words and remind you?”
“okay···. All right. I’ll just go.”
“yes. Thank you for your effort.”
“Whoops, should I only do Brother Jun?”
Elizabeth melted into the shadow of the temple and disappeared out of sight like a ghost that only shimmered like that.
‘Aren’t you a real ghost? You seem less human than Idelia?’
“Ugh···.”
Hyeon-joon also stopped being upset and jumped up. I need to buy some things for tomorrow morning and stop by Hackman Firm. will be busy again.
“I feel sad about living away from home.”
Hyunjoon grumbled and went back to his room. It’s still early, but when the sun goes down, there’s nothing to do, and there’s work to do tomorrow, so it’s good to go to bed early. Hyeon-jun enters, and only the moonlight shines in the quiet courtyard.
In Bentinga’s mansion, Gwyhern and Anton are sitting facing each other, but the room is filled with silence because their heads are busy thinking about each other. However, as soon as the magic tools placed on the table began to glow, both of them jumped to their feet. When Gwihern put his hand on the magic tool and then took it off, a voice came out of the magic tool that was illuminated.
“How is it?”
“Yes, Your Excellency Marquis. This morning the inquisitor entered Scanden and detained the head of the Malt family, and the trial was scheduled for two days.”
“It is different from the information.”
The Marquis was silent as if thinking for a moment. Both Gwihern and Anton waited patiently.
“What do you think?”
“It’s a good situation for you, Your Excellency. It doesn’t seem like they used their hands, but isn’t it that they controlled the information to induce their vigilance in the Great War?”
“Hmm… Are there any changes to the nobles?”
“yes. There have been attempts to use their hands on adventurers, but all have failed and no one has escaped.”
“Yeah, I can’t let them step out. Good job.”
“yes.”
Gwihern bowed politely, even though the Marquis could not see him.
“What happened to that adventurer?”
“The Inquisitor took them to the temple.”
“Is there anything special?”
“He seemed to have no political insight, but he was strict in manners, controlled himself well, and was familiar with magic tools and luxuries. Lady Umpels doesn’t seem to be familiar with the aristocratic system, and she is said to have treated the maid very politely.”
“Did you identify a woman?”
“There was no s*xual gaze or contact. And according to Lady Umpels and her maids, the body odor was very light. He said he could barely smell anything even after sweating.”
“How do you see it? Did you look like an aristocrat?”
“I didn’t see him as a direct descendant of a noble or knight family. Aren’t the rich merchants receiving collateral blood?”
Be that as it may, the strangely light body odor may be a trait of certain bloodlines. The most believable is that a wealthy commoner bought collateral blood with a lot of money. Not all aristocrats have a lot of money. There are aristocrats who borrow money here and there, lavishing themselves with more luxury than the taxes collected in their domains, and there are many nobles who do not have the proper income. It is not uncommon for such families to sell collateral blood to wealthy commoners and receive large sums of money.
“Sir Anton, what do you think?”
“Whether they are nobles or knights, they are those who have the blood of a proper family.”
