Not a good plan (2)
Basin, who is a second-class hero certified by the International Association of Specialized Persons and handles bones, smiles emptyly.
He didn’t seem to want anything, but he wasn’t one to show interest for no reason.
I slowly pull the chair back while being wary.
Im Seong-min and Choo Seong-han let out exclamations and made a fuss about where they sold the previous warning.
“Shaman Vasin!”
“… I never thought I would be able to see you this close.”
“Zdrasstbuytze.”
“What is that?”
“It means nice to meet you.”
“… Zdurastbuyjae?
When Korean and Russian greetings are mixed, the old man twists the corners of his eyes in a half-moon shape and points to the head of the table with his finger.
whether you can sit down.
Naturally, the reaction was immediate.
“of course.”
“Please sit here.”
While the goodwill is passed through the interpreter, the raid group to which Basin originally belonged moves to the center of the hall and exchanges conversations with each other.
I wish I could take you with me.
Unfortunately, there was blood all over his body, and the way he took out the map told me that he couldn’t afford to interfere.
Of course, it wasn’t all that bad.
Having survived for a long time on the battlefield, he has a wealth of experience, and if he is well-informed, he will be able to hear on-the-ground information.
But the question, the shaman throws first.
[Are you Korean?]
“They ask if you are Korean. Да (yes).”
[Right. I heard you’re coming to the National Guard Commander. However, sitting on the edge is not a good option. Why don’t you go sit over there with me? It’s better than those who talk nonsense.]
At first glance, it sounds like a decent offer, so the two idiots shake their heads and show signs of accepting.
Fortunately, Toya, Park Geon-young, Lim Seol-ha, and other engineering corps members looked at me first, as if they were bothered by the previous bruise.
“I’m not going?”
“There is nothing wrong with going. There’s also Rostislav Basin, Greta Andereyev and Boris Azarov. Individually, they are gorgeous, but they are also a team that has risen to the top of the international raid rankings. It would be a waste to miss this opportunity.”
I was checking the atmosphere to change my seat, but the reason Choo Seong-han’s speech bothered me was because of his disingenuous speech.
Somehow, ‘Zakir Korobin’, who freely uses [Corruption], was missing.
It has a similar aspect to my ability, [Toxic Blood], so I’m afraid I’ll run out of beans.
“… how will we do it.”
“Let’s go.”
Since it is more helpful to calmly weigh the gains and losses, he gives a positive answer to the question of Kim Sang-hoon, the head of the engineering team.
Even if it was a little uncomfortable, it was an intention to find out through cross-validation the current battlefield information, the opinions of the combatants, and what the governor said earlier.
And we… I was insulted with slang words.
[Even if Denisov joins, the power gap won’t be greatly reduced. There are too many advanced monsters.]
[One of them. Either the information investigated by the authorities was wrong or the Chinese leaked false information.]
[Well. It’s been quite a while since China lost control of the Far East. Rather, let’s focus on looking back on yesterday’s mission.]
While seated at the end of a long table.
High-ranking noblemen put scraps of paper in the file folder and focus only on the content of their conversations.
Interpreters pretend not to hear even if they listen to sensitive content. He evaded it moderately, saying that it was difficult to tell him because it was his personal life.
Even though he moved, he became isolated.
what.
Inevitably, a sense of disappointment appeared on the faces of the party, but for me, the eavesdropping story was mixed with the real information – I’m satisfied.
The monsters are coming from the left side of the mountain range, from the land of the leopard.
Its size ranges from 4 to 6 thousand depending on the occasion.
In addition, the artillery base on the right side of the mountain range has been destroyed, and the only support is long-range missiles. Even that is being blocked by a flying monster.
[How to increase the number of cannons mounted on the train?]
[A train is not a car. Increasing the length only widens the line of defense. Besides, it’s a problem when you come back. Considering the withdrawal process, we have to change the direction of the train as soon as it stops at the nearby town of Kyparisovo, but it can’t be completed within the operation time.]
[then… there is no way Can I just wait until summer while slaughtering 4,000 animals every week?]
[…] … .]
[Why? You’ve done everything you can There is no answer unless you invade the breeding grounds.]
Then, all of a sudden, the sound of a tuk-tuk knocking on the table turns my eyes.
As the bartender and the woman in charge of the paperwork was pouring Kampot (a fruit compote) in front of Im Seol-ha, it was clear that the old witch doctor had called.
Sure enough, Rostislav Basin asks for understanding from Sang-Hoon Kim, the head of the engineering team, and gives advice, not advice.
“Don’t focus too much on that side. It’s not that I didn’t notice your presence.”
“Was he wrong? Whoever speaks should be careful.”
“… Do you speak Russian?”
Since it was the third or fourth time I asked the same question, as I snorted it back, he showed a pleasant expression.
“Even if you listen to this person, you are the captain. How is it?”
“… what.”
“I’m asking how you feel after coming to the frozen land.”
Within ticks, ticks. When I raise my right hand above the head of the table, I see a bony grip and a ring made of bones.
If I didn’t have the basic knowledge, I would have passed it as if it was just a habit, but it’s already been a turn.
Having faced each other during the assault on the Vladivostok barrier, it was not difficult to notice that they were cheating.
It is a basic interrogation spell that uses the spine of a beast as a medium to separate truth from lies.
“Not good. Information is lacking, Korean government officials are not happy, and there is no briefing on local combat methods… I honestly think it’s ruined.”
“Heh, is that so? Did you receive any information? You should have met the governor.”
“Oleg Kozemyak?”
“yes. Rumors have been spreading since the day before. I will meet a prophet from Korea.”
“… … .”
“Well? I thought it wasn’t a secret because state officials didn’t try to hide it. Wasn’t it?”
In response to this, pretending not to know anything in reality, the word prophecy comes out of nowhere.
It’s not strange that superstitions are prevalent in the frontier areas that come into contact with monsters, but at this point, I wondered how the other person was seeing me.
“Or it’s embarrassing, what can I do about it?”
“Why are you in trouble?”
“Didn’t you hear everything? We’re at a deadlock. Thousands of hordes and monsters that reproduce within a week are also a problem… … . Because of Glavenstva, I’m really getting into trouble.”
However, doubts disappear quickly with one word.
Glavenstva (главе́нство).
Directly translated into Korean, it means the highest, the highest, and in Russia it was used to refer to 1st and 2nd class monsters.
According to the preliminary report, it is a level 3 monster.
It went up a notch.
“Is it hard to believe? I can show you a video if you want. From this point on, it’s a Tier 1 raid. I keep a record of the video.”
An action cam, which is common in Korea, is used only in high-level raids in Russia, so when he raises his head secretly to show the video, he suddenly makes a condition.
“Instead, you must prove that you will be useful in the subjugation operation. There’s no need to mention the governor. Russians don’t believe what they hear.”
“… What proof?”
“Something like having a strong ability or being unique as a team. Anything is fine. If you really prophesy, you can tell me your tactical options.”
I want to crush the opponent’s sorcery with [Negative] and then subdue it with force, but I’m thinking about it in my own way because it’s obvious that I’ll get beaten up if I do that.
Damn it, I don’t have any merits to put forward.
“I have no words. So can I ask a question from my side? What is your ability level?”
“Grade 5.”
“… What about the team?”
“Everything. An average of 5 stars… Kids my age are around 7 to 8.”
As evening approaches, the door leaf reciprocates several times to let the locals in. The candle lit by the bartender casts a shadow over the shaman’s frown.
I know.
It would be absurd.
“Even if the level is low, it is too low. If this is the case, should I hope that at least a real prophecy will be heard?”
“… … .”
“Now, if you are ready, prove that you are not just a tourist. don’t lie i’m a sorcerer They are good at distinguishing between truth and lies.”
The moment I wanted to pretend to be a prophet.
Suddenly, the parrot lowers the rope.
＜If you want to prove your ability, just tell me about your special ability. Negative or taking over space may be vague, but there’s one other thing that’s really good.＞
It was.
As there is no memory of the present Russia, it is impossible to point out the future, but there was a way to prove one’s worth.
I refrained from using it because the effect was not clear to the monster, but it was too much to break a human neck in two.
It is [disposition].
“I don’t make predictions.”
“… Unpleasant notification.”
“But, I can tell you one thing.”
“Well?”
“If you fight me, you will die.”
“… who? A monster?”
“No, you guys. Whether three or four attack, one of them must die. Of course, I won’t be fine, but… … .”
“… … .”
“You know better if it’s true or false.”
It was only for a while that the eyes around the bar table gathered at once at the words he threw as they rolled off his tongue.
drooling.
The chair is pushed back, and Rostislav Basin’s colleague, Boris Azarov, raises a gigantic body.
One head taller than Toya, even as tall as an eraser, the top of his head would touch the ceiling.
“Will one die if it rushes in?”
“Do you want to try it?”
However, it was not the tanker who responded to the artificial provocation, but the shaman.
The hand was raised to the shoulder area, and the palm was exposed in an outward direction to express the intention to stop.
“… great. Got it.”
“Basin.”
“Boris, I am talking to you.”
“… … .”
Indeed, since it is a raiding party in charge of Vladivostok’s axis, Boris Azarov sits down in place with a face full of displeasure at the command of the old man.
Then, with a light spell (the bone fragments were destroyed), he brought a piece of paper from the other side of the table and held it forward.
“It’s not a video.”
“I am a sorcerer. You don’t need a separate camera to record the footage.”
What appeared to be a rat’s skull, other bone fragments, leaves and grains were scattered across the surface of the paper as if it were a lake.
“Let’s formally introduce ourselves. I’m Rostislav Basin, a second-rate hero. What about you?”
“… Lee Yong-soo.”
“Let’s call her Lee. then… Feel it for yourself. Alamándra, the monster that rules the Far East.”
