“It’s amazing. I’ve only seen it in books or diaries brought by adventurers.”
After speaking in a subtly trembling voice, Zero smiled slowly and looked at the paper in the sky.
[Kindness (A+), eagerness for learning (B), cooking (S+). You are a very sweet person and swell with a passion for learning. You have a great talent for cooking. Let’s not forget that everyone can improve, develop, and have the right to be recognized.]
Unlike the woodcarvings received from Labyrinth, here in the Forest of Spirits, traits were written on paper dyed in a soft light green.
Zero looked at the paper, which had a faint smell of grass, as if it had been soaked in herbal water and removed, as if it were something precious.
“It changes with real effort. I guess I had a talent for it too.”
his face is bright [Kindness (A). Unlike the woodcarvings of Labyrinth City, where it was written, “You are a kind person.”, it is written quite gently here, and at the end, it is even more satisfying to write a good line as if it was taken out of a collection of quotes.
Zero gently rolled up the paper and stuffed it into his bosom, as if feeling happy that he had talents other than kindness.
‘It’s still too early to laugh that much, zero.’
In fact, the most important trait has not bloomed yet.
[The Beginning and End of Zero-Doppelganger]
Representative Traits: [Duplicate (B)] [Kindness (A+)] [Education (B)] [Cooking (S+)]
Hidden Traits: [Celestial Manga (A)] [Dignity (C-)] [Magical Retardation (C)]
I knew it belatedly, but did you say that you endured Lepid’s peer? Luna fainted and Kane stopped for a while, but Zero moved trembling even in the flood of death.
Are you stronger than Kane? No way. Even if I gathered 100 Zeros, they would all be cut down by one Kane.
Fear is a wave of mana, a thought, and an embodiment of death. So, the moment I was swept away by it, that magic retardation must have occurred.
‘Magical retardation and natural changes comics. One of them blooms this time.’
I’m lost in my thoughts for a while, but three people on one side are busy.
“How do you like this outfit?”
“Senior Rabbit. Senior, don’t choose clothes… … .”
“To agree.”
Luna, who was holding a strange pair of pants, looked at Zero and Kane alternately with a slightly shocked face, then came running towards me.
“young master. Doesn’t it look like something to you, Bocchan?”
Spotted sweatpants?
not good I smiled slowly and opened my mouth.
“no. Are you okay? If Zero wears it, it will look good. buy.”
At my words, Zero lowered his shoulders, which had risen to the fullest, and suddenly sulked, while Luna pricked up her drooping ears and smiled brightly.
Yes, it’s okay if it’s not just me.
Aside from the tight pants, there are a few more clothes that are subtly different from the aesthetic sense of ordinary people in Luna’s hands, and the moment Zero’s face gets darker as he sees Luna like that.
Kane moves slowly, brushes past me, then pauses.
“Go out.”
Kane glanced at me, and I took out a few coins and gestured to Luna, who was counting, and Zero, who was now sullen.
“Is there a place you’ve been looking at? Scenic place.”
“there is.”
While walking as if taking a walk, I asked Kane, so he nodded lightly and moved closer to me.
And Luna stood to one side of me, smiling as usual, walking as if tapping the floor with her tiptoe, and Zero also held the gym bag at an angle.
“What would you like to have for dinner tonight?”
“Everything Luna and Zero make is delicious.”
“I… I want to try bread too. From the flour dough.”
Peaceful conversation no matter who listens. We exchanged words and headed towards the outskirts of the forest little by little.
And the moment I entered the slightly deserted forest road, I took out the codex and immediately activated the shield.
The reward for squeezing Lepid comes from here.
Tiding – Tingting! bang!
Before the shield that blocked the fast-flying hand crossbow arrows faded, I put my hand on the codex once more to activate the shield.
Meanwhile, Kane runs into the forest in the blink of an eye and stabs the assailants hiding in the trees with his sword.
‘sh*t.’
I wanted to delay seeing blood as much as possible unless it was a monster. I’m afraid the kill counter will also affect that guy’s language center.
Right now, I have no means to protect myself other than the codex’s shield magic, so Luna and Zero stay by my side to protect me, and Kane walks through the forest alone.
“By the power of truth.”
Just as I was annoyed, I activated the magic missile and began to check the assailants dressed in black one by one, unsuitable for this forest.
Due to their superiority in numbers, three or four people clung to Kane and attacked him, and a few blocked him from blind spots with shields, magic missiles, and bindings, so Kane was invincible.
Most of the attackers were also Auror users, but that only had the advantage of not being cut off by clashing with each other.
strength, speed and combat sense. Kane was overwhelming in all of them, so within a certain distance, the moment I missed it, my neck or arm flew off and my stomach pierced.
“Crazy, isn’t it a monster? How did you find out in the first place? I was in mana camouflage!”
no wonder. There must be people stronger than us in the Forest of Spirits, and there must be people in charge of security among them, but they said they were attacking them openly.
‘Mana camouflage?’
I’m not quite sure what this is, but it’s obvious. It must have been something like magic that would not be noticed by others.
Kung-Koo Goong!
Thanks to the assailants who move up and down the trees and attack with bizarre movements, and Kane who wields his sword without being pushed back, the tops of several trees are cut off and fall to the ground with a heavy sound.
I threw a deterrence spell in the middle, and momentarily changed the shape of the weapon to a chain scythe, cut the attacker’s waist in half, and shouted at Kane, who was recovering.
“Can you capture at least one person alive?”
“Is it possible.”
Crazy, what kind of concentration is changing the shape of a weapon in the middle of a fight?
Kane changes his weapon into a giant ax and cuts down the tree he was trying to step on at once.
Someone who had lost their footing momentarily twisted in the air and tried to step onto another tree, but a metal whip flew and wrapped around his ankle, and Kane threw the seal at me.
“Keugh! What!”
“Luna, subdue Zero and tie it up. And, just in case, quickly gag it.”
“yes!”
Do you always have poison in your mouth when you read a novel or a movie?
“Hands too.”
They hid something like a small weapon somewhere in their body and later tried to escape or killed themselves with a poison dart.
After Luna and Zero answered boldly, they tied their hands in small pockets and gagged their mouths.
“Is that a human!”
The sound of screaming pierces your ears.
Some of them turned their eyes to one side as if protesting, saying that it was absurd that Kane was this strong.
Now I could barely hold on. The only thing left is to avoid Kane’s sword by supplementing each other’s blind spots, rather than attacking Kane in cooperation with each other.
“Everybody shut up and retreat before the rangers arrive!”
When one of the remaining assailants raises his hand and sends a hand signal, they work together to hit Kane with an aura sword, pushing him away, and then running in different directions.
I shouted hastily as Kane pursued one of them.
“Kane! Come back!”
There is no need to increase the meaningless kill counter after capturing one person anyway.
From noble mtl dot com.
Besides, the moment Kane, the strongest power, leaves, someone uses a double trap to me! ‘Cause I might try
‘It might seem like over-consciousness, but.’
Objectively, my value is never low. Depending on what your purpose is, you could be higher than Kane.
‘Especially in this place.’
sudden attack. This is obviously a leak. That I know how to get into the ruins. Unless it’s leaked, there aren’t many reasons for an attack.
After cleaning and purifying Kane, who returned to my side, I turned my head to the scent of mint wafting from behind.
“Oops, is it too late?”
“yes.”
Green wooden greaves and a bow on the back. The green elf with light green hair and eyes scratched his cheek shyly.
“uh… sorry. Because I used an artifact that disturbs mana, I was late figuring out the mana collision that happened around here… … .”
“Why don’t they all die, then.”
“Ugh, I’m really sorry.”
The green elf smiled embarrassingly at my smirk and apologized repeatedly.
I understand with my head. They must have done it because they were confident that the assailants would also attack us and not catch us right away.
‘That’s it.’
The kill counter went up because the ranger was late. Even if monsters are like that, people are definitely… … .
‘Although I know it’s not a game.’
In Innocent Saga, the kill counter wasn’t just a meaningless number.
Kane’s emotional expression decreased more rapidly when he killed more humanoid enemies than in monster-only dungeons.
I opened my mouth, kicking the assailant who was procrastinating on the floor.
“A captured raider. I couldn’t manage it, so I committed suicide later, so I couldn’t find out who was behind it. It’s embarrassing to hear something like this.”
“Of course… … . hahahaha, take it easy… … .”
Looking at the green elf laughing awkwardly, I threw another word.
“And I also convey this to Elder Bahadi. If you don’t come by today, it’s no fun.”

What do you usually do to enter someone’s secretly hidden space?
Well, if you think about it, it’s about 3 things.
1. sneak in
2. Forced entry.
3. Invited to enter.
‘And usually 1 or 2 is perfect for listening to thieves.’
Case 3 is different. going in as a guest. It’s the difference between heaven and earth. Cancer, yes.
Besides, now I’m in a position where I can confidently say hateful things to that elf.
“I don’t like the look in the eyes of the elves standing in the back.”
I blew the dust off my fingernails for no reason and laughed.
At my words, the eyes of the elven warriors standing behind Bahadi grew more ferocious.
“If you don’t like it, break the plate. I want to know who made people’s throats cool because they couldn’t manage a single piece of information.”
At my words, Bahadi let out a low groan, and the elven warriors behind me stared at me with their eyes.
In response, I leaned back in my chair, raised my head, lowered my eyes, and continued to speak dryly.
“You don’t know who has the upper hand right now?”
I snorted. Which one are you watching? If you live 100 years at a time, will there be no notice and nothing but pride?
Who will enter the place where you have not been able to enter for a thousand years? Who is the one who gets swept away after not being able to find a single traitor? Right now, eyes wide open!
“Or you know me as a real idiot. Who called the assailant because they couldn’t hide a single piece of information properly?”
As their long ears trembled at my sarcastic tone, Bahadi raised a hand and opened his mouth.
“Everyone, please go out the door and watch over me.”
“But Lord Bahadi… … .”
“How can I trust them?”
At the words of the elven warriors, Bahadi opened his mouth in a dry tone.
“Don’t you believe me?”
“no… … .”
As the elven warriors grind their teeth and exit the door, Luna is seen sticking her tongue out from behind Bahadi.
I rested my chin on him with a slightly softened face and looked at Bahadi.
“Try to make an excuse.”
“There are no excuses. Certainly, there can be no attack unless words leak from my side.”
It’s my ignorance. I apologize. Watching her bend over, I raised the corner of my mouth.
“Only in words?”
“I’ll wait a little longer to meet with the elder.”
At her words, I opened my mouth calmly.
“That was our original contract. Meeting with the elder, entering and exiting the ruins. However, this side suffered losses due to that side’s poor management, so even if I can’t do it, I have to do one more.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Do you know what a codex is?”
I smiled at Bahadi’s calm eyes.
