With a beautiful face and pure white skin, at first glance, it was an appearance that did not look like a resident of a rural village at all. And to the atmosphere where you can feel a strangely noble feeling for some reason.
Elica reached out again and poked the man’s body.
“Hey there… do you see?”
There was no sign that he would come to his senses.
It was a time when I thought about whether I should pour water and pour it on my face.
Elica was startled by the sudden sound and looked around.
grr.
A few brown-haired beasts that had suddenly appeared through the bushes came into view. It was a group of wild dogs that lived in the forest.
Did you come in with the smell of blood? Usually, wild beasts did not come out to the outskirts of the forest.
She narrowed her brow and looked around the ground. The ax had been thrown away, so there was no weapon in hand.
Fortunately, I soon found a large wooden stick and quickly picked it up.
“이 개새끼들이, 안 꺼져?”
They swung the stick, but the wild dogs did not back down and slowly approached.
At that, Elica gave up the threat and took a stance with both hands on the stick.
Perhaps because of starvation, the color of their eyes had returned, and the wild dogs showed no sign of backing down.
During a brief confrontation, a wild dog from the back jumped in by surprise.
Without panicking, Elica quickly turned around and swung the rod.
Keen!
The wild dog, who had been hit in the head with a light hitting sound, bounced off the floor and rolled around.
Then the other dogs barked and barked, gave up fighting and turned around and ran away.
Elica sighed and threw the stick to the floor.
Then I heard the sound of running from one side, and soon Tom and Heren appeared.
“·············hey! Are you okay?!”
On their way over, they heard the roar of a wild dog and rushed to run.
Elica waved her hands as if it was okay, and then turned her gaze to one side again.
The two who approached also found the man who had fallen around her and opened their eyes.
“What, what? Who is that?”
Tom looked at Elica and the man, then covered his mouth with his hand.
“Oh my God… Did you ever do something like that? Did you kill someone?”
“Are you kidding me now?”
Heron slapped Tom in the back of the head and asked.
“What the hell is going on with all this, Elica?”
“I don’t know. I was just lying in the woods. I see that I’m breathing for now…”
Heron approached the man with a serious expression on his face.
Then he looked at his condition and muttered in a puzzled voice.
“There doesn’t seem to be any injuries, but what is all this blood?”
Tom also stood beside him, glanced around at the man, and said.
“What the hell is it, you’re all lying down naked? You don’t even have any clothes around you? Have you been attacked by thieves?”
“Where are the bandits around here?”
“No, but there’s really nothing other than that. Unless you’re caught by the damn bastards who shave off your underwear without leaving a single piece of underwear, why are you naked here…?”
Elica intervened.
“No nonsense, what are you going to do?”
Tom answered coldly.
“What, what, how? We have to take it to the priests quickly.”
Heron shook his head in opposition.
“Let’s bring the priests here instead of taking them blindly.”
“why?”
“You’re a stranger you don’t know. Have you ever seen someone like this in your village?”
“No, there isn’t, but…”
“Then you have to be careful. For now, let’s go back to the monastery as soon as possible.”
At that time, Elika looked at the man with a smile and said.
“Let’s just take it right away.”
“······uh?”
“There may be bloodstains around, and it may be in an emergency. What if I take more time and die?”
Then he took a step forward and grabbed the man’s body.
Tom was startled by this and quickly walked over to her side.
“Hey, I’ll move.”
“So.”
“······· Give me something to cover, Heron. You can’t just carry it around like this.”
Heren sighed and threw the shirt he was wearing at Tom.
So they quickly returned to the monastery with an unidentified man.
***
“············”.
When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was an unfamiliar ceiling.
I hurriedly got up and distorted my expression at the pain I felt.
Then I heard a voice next to me.
“Are you awake?”
A little away from the bed stood a knight wearing some light armor. he said again
“Wait a minute. I’ll call someone.”
Without holding on to anything, he went straight out of the room.
I stared blankly at the closed door for a moment, then looked around.
‘······what?’
Where are you?
I awakened my hazy mind and traced my memory.
A battle with Detrodemyan, a gamble risking his life to kill him.
And when it was all over, an unfamiliar place unfolded in front of me out of nowhere.
“············”.
It was as if things were not well organized.
I was in such a chaos, and not long after that, someone came into the room again.
It was the knight earlier, and another man in a costume that looked like a priest.
A man approaching me asked with a soft smile.
“You just woke up. I’m glad.”
“············”.
He spoke to me, who couldn’t find what to say.
“The people of the monastery found you lying unconscious in the forest and brought them here.”
“······monastery?”
“Yes, this is a monastery. Are you okay?”
Even as I wondered what all this meant, I tried to answer, then frowned again.
It was because even if he tried to move his body a little, the pain as if he was stabbed with an awl came rushing in.
The man tilted his head.
“You don’t look very good. Um, there were no noticeable traumas…”
“…More than that, where the hell is this place?”
He kindly answered my questions again.
“As I said, it’s a monastery. It’s a Lobelgio monastery.”
“It’s not that, I’m asking which area it is.”
Read from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
“Region? What is that…?”
“Is this Gadret City?”
He looked like he was saying something strange.
“If it’s Gadret… are you talking about the city where the tower is located west of Seinthea?”
“That’s right.”
“This is the Poston Territory on the southeastern frontier of Saintea.”
At those words, I had no choice but to make a dumb face.
Change southeast of Saintea? Poston’s?
Isn’t it a place that is completely opposite to Gadret City?
The place where he fought Matap and Detrodemyan was definitely near the city of Gadret, but I wondered what the hell was going on.
“If you’re confused, would you mind delaying the conversation a bit? You’re free to take a break.”
“·······No, it’s fine.”
I shook my head.
I was able to have a little more conversation with the man and sort out the situation at least roughly.
First of all, this was a place called the Lobelgio Monastery, located in the southeastern frontier of Seinthea.
And the people of the monastery found me, who had lost my mind in the forest, and brought me here.
The man’s name was Thein, and he introduced himself as a priest belonging to the monastery. And he asked me my name.
I tried to say Ron, but I said another name.
“This is Ethan.”
“It was Ethan. May I ask if you ever lost consciousness in the woods?”
He was asking what I was doing.
I searched for a suitable word to surround and answered.
“······It’s just a wanderer passing by. I can’t quite remember why I lost my mind.”
The man didn’t seem to believe him, but he nodded without asking any further questions.
More than that, he looked more concerned about my physical condition and asked more and more.
Maybe it was because he was a priest, so I wondered if he was so kind to someone he had never met for the first time.
“I’m fine, can you give me a moment to rest alone?”
“Okay. Well then…”
“Thank you so much for helping me.”
“No words. Please give special thanks to the children who found Ethan and brought him to me.”
······children?
He smiled brightly and left the room with the driver, leaving only the words to call him if he needed anything.
I sighed and looked out the window.
‘What the hell is that…’
I couldn’t figure out what had happened.
Why was I suddenly moved to a completely different area from western St. As if I had done some kind of teleportation…
‘······Teleportation?’
Wait a minute.
Come to think of it, I didn’t get caught up in Detrodemyan’s space cut at the last moment.
Could it have anything to do with that?
The space cut couldn’t break through the floating veil, so it blew the whole thing across the space?
I don’t know what exactly happened.
However, at least it seemed correct to say that it was caused by being caught up in his space cut.
If not, what’s the point of teleporting out of nowhere to a place like this?
‘I’ll turn, really….’
I felt embarrassed and scratched my head.
On the other hand, there was also a sense of relief that he was lucky that he was still alive.
Considering that he was caught in the flames and burned to the point of exposing his bones, there was nothing strange about losing his mind and never waking up.
It was a time when I was silently staring into the air and immersed in thought.
The popularity was felt from the outside, and the visit was opened again.
Encounter (3)
The three of them slowly opened the door and entered the room.
Two young boys and one girl, who appear to be around the age of fourteen or fifteen.
“Oh, it’s really awake.”
One of them, the tallest boy, looked at me and muttered as if a little startled.
They looked at something again, and this time the girl strode over to the chair next to the bed and sat down. Then the boys also came closer and stood near the girl.
The girl who was sitting upside down on the chair with her arms on the backrest and staring at me immediately opened her mouth.
“Who are you?”
“············”.
mister?
I was at a loss for words at the name, which was so unfamiliar indeed.
“Who are you?”
The big boy answered him lively.
“I’m Tom. And this is Heren, and this is Elika. What’s your name?”
“This is Ethan. And I didn’t ask for your name.”
A boy named Heren looked at the boy named Tom as if pathetic, and said:
“We are the clergy who live in this monastery. And we found you lying in the woods.”
oh
Come to think of it, did I mention that the priest was children?
I could immediately realize that these were the children I discovered the day I was losing my mind.
“That’s the end of the reaction? No thanks?”
After looking at the three for a moment, a girl named Elika said so.
I answered right away.
“Thank you very much. Thanks to you, I’m alive.”
