f*cked? Could it be that he doesn’t know how to fight?
Edward’s frustrated words filled me with disbelief, but that was just unfounded news.
Edward, who had flexibly escaped by holding on to the back of the golem that had pushed in with his shoulder to hit the golem, hit the back of the golem’s head like a whip with his foot.
Quaaa!!
The guy who flew away crashes into the wall and flinches.
“Tsk, why is it a golem? “Those guys are difficult to deal with.”
– Was that why you said it was f*cked?
“Then what? “I wonder if he was scared by a guy like that?”
He says with a leisurely smile.
“Do you know how many risks there are when exploring? “You have to have the power to protect yourself.”
As he said that, he dodged the golem’s attack again and observed it.
“Well, there it is.”
After muttering that, he grabbed the guy’s head and slammed him on the ground several times.
bang! bang! bang! bang! bang!
The forehead area started to crack. Because of how hard the head was, the floor was already cracked and broken.
Pakak!
Edward kicked the guy in the head. The forehead shattered, revealing the red sphere inside. Edward immediately broke the sphere.
Then the golem fell to the floor like a doll whose strings had been cut.
“Whew, annoying guy.”
– It would have been easier if I had used first marriage.
“I can’t use a sword.”
– Can’t I just do it?
“It’s not fun if you do it.”
I understood it right away. Exploration should have this flavor.
– But what on earth is a golem?
“It’s an artificial guardian made from ore or stone. There used to be a lot of golem magicians, but I guess there aren’t any anymore?”
– yes. I’ve never even heard of the ‘ㄱ’ character in golem.
“There is no romance in this era.”
Edward shakes his head and clicks his tongue.
When I went inside, I saw an old piece of paper lying where the golem was sitting, so I opened it right away.
A living being that cannot be burned by fire, what is it? … . ah! That’s hard ore! If you light the ore on fire and it survives, isn’t that a life form that can’t be burned by fire? Am I a genius?
A messy text written like a diary. The more I look at it, the more I feel like it must have been written by a crazy person.
“Oooh!”
Unlike mine, whose expression gradually hardened, exclamations continued to flow from Edward’s lips.
A sandstone that only occurs in deserts. I made it out of it. A living being that cannot be burned by fire! hahahahaha! Now this will become our family heirloom and a vision for the future! But I can’t move from here. When trying to test a golem in lava, the lava exploded and it couldn’t escape. I can’t help it. Descendants of my family, I left everything I had in the desert! Find it yourself.
As expected, no matter how you look at it, it is clear that he is a crazy person. Are all geniuses like this?
“hehehehe. This is it. this.”
– What is this? They said they left it in the desert.
“You can find it in the desert. What are you worried about? “The more difficult it is, the greater the reward.”
– Were there any instances where you wasted a lot of effort when it was difficult?
“Of course there is. “Probably 79 out of 100 are just waste?”
– What are the remaining 21?
“Of them, 15 are simple, 5 are medium, and 1 is amazing.”
It’s also detailed. When it comes to the legend of explorers, is this basic?
– Then it could be a waste of money, right?
“No, you already have that, right?”
He said, pointing to the fallen golem.
“I brought one here for an experiment. How many are there in the desert? There is a high possibility that there are more.”
– That’s what I heard.
“Well, of course, there are many cases of bluff. Well, you have to go to find out. But my intuition says it’s right.”
Now that I think about it, I said in my diary earlier that it is a creature that cannot be burned by fire… … .
‘I was wondering where I heard that… … .’
“… … “I’m actually looking for a creature that doesn’t burn.”
“Creatures that don’t burn? “Does such a thing even exist?”
“I don’t know either. “It’s something that was in a keepsake that my parents gave me.”
What Lila Bates said suddenly came to mind. He said he came all the way to Kinish Bluff and set fire to a fish in search of his legacy.
– It seems like the legacy of the Bates family.
“uh? Legacy? “What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
I briefly explained what had happened previously.
“Ho… … , Then the probability that the treasure is hidden increases significantly! hehehe. “Look here.”
Edward, who had found something again, swept the wall and tapped the stone wall.
“Does it sound a little different here?”
– I’m not sure?
“Tsk, listen carefully. Here and… , here. how is it?”
– As I listened to it, it seemed a little different… … .
“done.”
Edward said that and hit the wall with his fist. Then a hole just bigger than a fist was revealed. Inside was a small piece of parchment.
– Is it a map?
“Yes, I’m telling you to look at this and go find it.”
– But why did you hide it? Isn’t it possible that descendants may not be able to find it?
“Because he’s crazy.”
– ah… … .
I understood it right away.

A desert area where a cold chill sets in, unlike during the day. The air that sharply brushed my skin turned into a chill that penetrated the inside of my collar.
The soft sand grains on the floor catch people’s footsteps and drain their stamina, and the monsters in the sand that can pop out from nowhere strain their nerves.
“Huh… … , heo… … .”
Eight people wearing torn, blood-splattered golden priestly robes are crossing the desert, breathing heavily.
From Noble mtl dot com
Aston Cash, who was at the forefront of them, looked back, brushing away the hair that had fallen in front of his eyes.
A huge, wrinkled black curtain descends from the air to the floor. Black and red-hot magic clings to various parts of the tent.
The secret branch of the Black Star. I thought it was definitely reliable information, but it was a trap.
“Your Majesty. We will buy as much time as possible. Even just your Majesty… … .”
“Hold on just a little longer.”
“But if we continue like this, everyone will be caught.”
Aston Cash chewed his lips. The number of people from twenty-four was reduced to eight. The damage from the enemies was not that easy, but that was it. If things continued like this, it would have been extermination.
“Neither a compass nor a map will help.”
“Hold on. “Don’t give up.”
That was all Aston could do. An unknown barrier was placed across the desert. There was no way to find the way. No matter how far I went, all I could see was endless desert sand.
‘The power of the Black Star is much stronger than we imagined.’
It was truly difficult for the Holy Kingdom to win unless it responded with all its might. Same with the devil from last time and the secret branch here.
It was clear that there was only one reason why they were still silent: they were afraid of the power of the empire. No, seeing as how he made such a fuss last time, isn’t that the case now?
‘Oh God.’
Aston held both hands and closed his eyes. Everyone behind him followed him and prayed to God.
“Oh God.”
“Oh God.”
Many church members died due to their own wrong judgment. I should have spoken more strongly to the Pope.
If we had drawn twice as much power as we do now, the results would have been different. But the Pope rejected his request. Even this was possible because Aston’s position within the church was strong.
Even if he survives now, Aston’s position in the church will be diminished because of this incident.
‘God, at least these people must be saved. No more sacrifices can be made. Please help me.’
Aston prayed earnestly. Perhaps there may be a way to survive if you abandon them all and move alone. However, Aston could not abandon them until the end.
“coming.”
“Move. “I will take my time.”
Aston sent them back and stepped forward.

I went to Joanna’s mansion and went into her room. I see Joanna lying down in pain. They placed a few stones in her room and made a small tomb.
[Call the soul – Gemma]
“little… No, it will hurt a lot. Are you okay?”
“Fine… Oh no. “I can tolerate the pain well.”
She answered calmly. I don’t know if being able to tolerate pain well means external pain or internal pain.
[Code – Gemma]
Gemma came into my body. He then places his fingers on her wrist and slowly flows energy and magic into her.
“It’s quite a mess. “It’s a miracle that I’m alive.”
Joanna flinched as if she had heard Gemma’s words.
“It will hurt a lot. Don’t scream though. “Because I’m losing focus.”
Joanna nods slowly. Although he hadn’t even started yet, he seemed extremely nervous as cold sweat slowly began to form from his forehead to the nape of his neck.
“It begins.”
After taking a quick look inside, she used her energy first to tear through the inside. The task of roughly lifting a huge passage. mana is needed for more detailed work.
Joanna’s lip twitched. The pain seemed unbearable as the muscles around his tightly closed eyes twitched.
I know how difficult the pain she must be going through right now is. Because I experienced it myself. Gemma said it would be several times more painful than the pain I had experienced.
But she didn’t scream even once until the work was finished. In the end, I bit my lip so hard that blood flowed.
“it’s over.”
“Huh… Haaa.”
She let out the breath she had been holding in harshly. Her face was already a mess with tears, snot, and blood mixed together.
Even so, in my eyes, Joanna seemed truly amazing. It’s incredible mental power. I could guarantee that even if all the members of the Golden Lion Knights were taken, this pain would not have been endured.
“persimmon… buy… sun… yo. this.”
She gave an answer with difficulty.
“What kind of gratitude can I have? There’s still so much to do.”
Her eyes widen.
“We have to do this seven more times.”
I said that not only was her physical condition serious, but it was also due to my lack of magical power. Since there is no mana, there is a limit to the amount of work that can be done at once.
“Fine… “Oh.”
Gemma nodded and returned.
“I hope you understand that my speaking habits while working are my work habits.”
“no. “Hmm.”
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
Her eyes, which had been half-out of her mind at my question, became serious again.
“My son… Because of me, they fell into a bad direction. What a normal Jeffman would never have done… … . “Compared to the pain that child must have felt, I can endure this much.”
Is this how a mother feels? As I wasn’t even married yet, I couldn’t really understand her will.
“Take care of your food. “I will come back soon.”
After completing her primary treatment, she returned to Decane.
A person I had never expected came there. No, I guess I forgot about it for a while.
“Hey. long time no see.”
Those eyes shining with madness. Even though it’s been a while since I’ve seen it, it’s vividly stuck in my mind as if I saw it just yesterday.
Flake, the crazy wizard we met in Arbitrari. That guy has now come to Decane out of nowhere.
The guy with his flowing red hair roughly brushed away comes towards me with a grin on his face.
“You remember me, right? huh?”
“well.”
“I did quite a bit of this and that while I wasn’t able to see you… … .”
The red eyes of the guy with his face right in front of me are shaking unsteadily like a candle in the wind.
Because your mind is unstable? Are you scared of me?
Those thoughts tickled my mind for a split second and then quickly disappeared. That crazy guy can’t do that.
It just feels like a bomb shaking unsteadily before my eyes, with no idea when it will explode. Just being together makes me feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable at the same time.
“so? “Well, have you come for revenge?”
“Not really. “There’s nothing I really want to take from you?”
“Can I take it away?”
The guy grinned at my answer and laughed out loud as he leaned his back and forward. Looking at that, he seems even more crazy.
Why are all the smart and strong people so crazy?
“why? Should I try to take that away?”
The guy said, pointing his finger at Adeline behind him. Embarrassment flashes across Adeline’s face.
“You crazy bastard.”
“hahahaha!”
He’s smiling like that now, but the look in his eyes a moment ago was sincere. His confidence that he could steal Adeline away if he really had the chance was clearly revealed.
‘Is there something wrong with that reaction, even though you may have heard rumors that I am a master level?’
… The moment I thought about that, he got to the point.
“Do you want to do something with me?”
