Earthlings of another world (2)
The day after arriving in Rohan.
When Hesperon came to his senses, the party of four warriors arranged a separate conversation in his hospital room, including the princess.
Wasn’t their ultimate goal to defeat the Immortal King Hans in the first place?
In such a yard, there were people who escaped from the base after being captured, so it was a process that had to be passed at least in terms of information gathering.
Of course, it was a fact that others could not know that the majority of the six people gathered like that were actually the same person.
“…that’s how I managed to get out of there. There’s nothing wrong after that. After moving south across a land infested with monsters, the saint saved me from the danger of being attacked by a griffin.”
No matter how much Hesperon came to his senses, as he was still a patient, Riley volunteered first to explain the circumstances.
Still reclining on the bed, he decided to add something only when he had something to add, but her quiet, well-coordinated words made it unnecessary to add anything else.
“Hmm, immortality. I already knew from observation that the Immortal King’s stronghold was within the northern mountains, but no one had seen it directly because it was in such a dangerous area…”
Her story is finally over.
Heinrich, who had been listening to the story with a heavy expression, closed his eyes as if recalling the scene in his head and continued.
“Thank you for good information. This information will be of great help in dealing with the Immortal King in the future.”
And the serious atmosphere was the same for Isea, who had heard about it beforehand, and Geos, who was standing leaning against the wall, hugging the spear.
Only Harley, who bowed her head and nodded at the lengthy story, was at peace.
“…but I have one question.”
But at that time, Geos, who had been quietly listening to the story, opened his mouth with his eyes shining.
Unlike usual, when he was quiet without saying anything, he showed a very active appearance when the topic related to the Immortal King came up.
“I don’t think you’ve told me clearly yet how you were able to get out of the Immortal King’s castle. A method that was possible despite the banshee queen Olivia’s interference.”
“I told you earlier that it was possible thanks to Mr. Hesperon’s special ability…”
“No, Princess. This is not a matter that can be taken lightly. A means to neutralize the security that the Immortal King must have put a lot of effort into. This is an issue that must be addressed in the future.”
Unusually, Geos Calkin continues the conversation through clearing water.
Heinrich and Isea, seeing him talking so much for the first time, and even Harley, who was dozing off, woke up and looked at him blankly with round eyes.
“If it was a special ability, how was it possible because it was special? Perhaps a specific condition required for the activation of the ability is not the key. Or is there room for application of it to other technologies?”
He paused for a moment, then looked away from Riley and stared at Hesperon reclining on the bed.
His two eyes, which could not be found in the usual darkness, were burning strongly with the heat of something.
“Don’t forget. The opponent is the Immortal King, Hans. The Hans who destroyed the Principality of Rohan, where we are now, and slaughtered countless continental people. Now is not the time to decide which means to use.”
“…mmm.”
Riley, who couldn’t resist, sighed.
It was a little extreme, but it was definitely right.
If it was a general case, it would be a claim that could receive sympathy and support from the surroundings.
One unfortunate thing was that he was the only outsider who knew nothing in this place.
‘Isn’t it? This sounds like a rather good opportunity.’
For the sake of a greater cause, they are asked to disclose even their personal secrets… Isn’t this a problem that can be applied to him on the contrary!
From the point of view of coveting his skills, this case could be said to be a good opportunity.
“Um, what. It won’t be anything to hide.”
After knocking back and forth on the calculator and making judgments in an instant.
Hesperon, who received his gaze, opened his mouth calmly.
“Actually, I don’t know much about this ability. It’s been less than two months since I got this yet.”
“What is that… Then, as soon as I got that ability, I went straight to the northern mountains and was captured by the Immortal King?”
“Ah, going there was against my will. It must have been the location that fell away. I am a foreigner from another world!”
“… from another world?”
Geos put on a puzzled expression at the sudden coming out.
At the same time, Lee Se-ah flinched slightly, but she just stared at him without any change in expression.
“The ability was also acquired in the process… I don’t have anything to say.”
As he finished speaking, he shrugged lightly.
In fact, Hesperon originally intended to go this route, so it was not a big secret.
I don’t have any intention of bragging about it here and there, but to the extent that I don’t even bother trying to hide it?
‘Actually, it feels a bit like bait.’
At the same time, I was thinking of taking a look at Geos’ reaction, but from the moment he heard that he was from another world, he just tilted his head as if thinking about something.
“Gios? For now, let’s get over that issue. It wouldn’t mean much to listen to complicated things anyway.”
“ah! ···Okay. saint. With that kind of ability, we’ll need a little more time to learn more about it.”
“I think it would be better to leave it to the great mage, Isea-nim. Don’t you think you know more than us?”
“I see. I guess I was just too ahead of myself.”
With Heinrich’s intervention, Geos, who had been in full flame, calmed down again, and after that conversation, the conversation that had been going on for quite a while began to come to an end.
“The story has been longer than I thought. I’m going to go to the garrison for a while. I don’t have any special plans today, so you can rest comfortably.”
“hahahaha! I guess I’ll have to do some hunting around the area! Even if it wasn’t, it still hurt, but it’s okay!”
The party breaks down and goes out one by one to do their own business.
But not everyone was so far away.
Finally, right after Riley cautiously left the hospital room…
“Mr. Hesperon? Do you have a moment? There’s something I’d like to talk to you two about.”
Lee Se-ah, who remained until the end, looked at him with narrow eyes and quietly raised the corner of her mouth.
***
Headquarters of the World Returnees Association in the United States.
Click—Click!
“Whoa, it’s finally over. Uh-cha-cha!”
After uploading the newly added information, the man stretched out with a stiff body and slumped.
“Aw—there’s no end to doing this.”
He is a member of the returnee association’s ‘Other World Status Survey Team’, and his main job was to update the current status of each dimension by collecting information from various places.
At first glance, it may seem that there is not much to be gained compared to the effort put in, but this was a project that was surprisingly well received by the public.
For those who have not yet awakened, prior information about the other world is provided in advance to increase their chances of survival, and to returnees who have already returned, it serves as news that allows them to indirectly access information about their world of origin.
In fact, even if ordinary people are awakened, they do not know which dimension they will go to until they are transmitted, so the probability of obtaining useful information from hundreds of dimensions is not very high.
But even so, wouldn’t it be much better to know a little bit than to fall into another world knowing nothing?
‘If I were to win the world I’ve been interested in, the adaptation period would be drastically reduced and the chance of survival would rise dramatically.’
In fact, the effect has been proven by the return rate, which has recently started to rise little by little.
‘Of course, from the point of view of work, the change is too frequent due to the time difference, so updating is a bit cumbersome.’
In addition, since the headquarters had to collect and cross-verify information coming from branches around the world, it was not uncommon for information that had been checked and sorted to be immediately discarded.
Another annoying case is that in the case of a dimension that has not been observed for a long time, it takes a lot of work to cover the authenticity of the information?
As the information organized here spreads around the world, it was necessary to thoroughly check that false information was not mixed.
However, there is a lack of prior information and there are few people who know, so there is no choice but to have difficulties in verifying the information.
‘Still, this dimension was a bit on the lesser side.’
He nodded quietly as he reviewed the information he had just uploaded.
-New) Auterica Dimension.
It was the same that there were still few people who returned here, but it was a case where the verification proceeded quickly because the words of those few people were generally consistent.
The times we came back were similar, so there was no big difference in the world situation that each of us knew.
‘…because the world is in a state of chaos due to the advent of the demon king.’
Needless to say, there are even small countries that eventually collapsed and even countries that were occupied by vampire demons taking advantage of the chaos.
The risk level estimated by the association was also ‘very high, caution required’.
If you are halfway Awakeners who have secured karma in advance, you can say that it is an environment where you can choose to return one after another.
‘It’s a matter that doesn’t matter much to the people on Earth. Anyway, the time is already like this. I need to get ready for work soon.’
Anyway, his job was done here, the rest was up to those who would accept the information.
The information that started from the headquarters of the World Returnees Association quickly spread all over the world via the Internet—.
It was quickly translated into their own languages and released to the public by advanced technology and talented people.
Although it is a paid service that receives a certain amount of money, the latest information in each dimension can be viewed by anyone who wishes.
“Five? Is the information slowly starting to come out? It seems that there were quite a few earthlings in Auterica as well.”
And among those who looked at it, Han Seong-hyun, who was living a normal life in Korea across the Pacific Ocean, was included.
After exercising and taking a shower at the gym inside the house, he glared at the data he found while browsing the Internet with a towel over his shoulder.
There wasn’t much that could be called high-level information, but unlike the last time, it contained quite a lot of information, so it seemed that the number of those who had returned so far was not small.
If there’s just one thing I don’t like…
-The world is in great chaos due to the demon king ‘Immortal King Hans’ who invaded the ionic continent. Because all the monsters are soaked in madness…
It was said that the name of the Immortal King was known as ‘Hans’ even on Earth.
Although I had already given up to some extent, I still had expectations as much as I had worked hard to appeal.
Apparently, that amount of effort was not enough to reach the earthlings who lived in Auterica.
“Tsk, there’s nothing I can do about it now.”
In fact, since it is called Hahoe Mask here, there was no need to cling to the Immortal King’s name.
After all, that’s just a name that remains on paper without substance.
‘Hmm, but the content isn’t as bad as I thought. I’m sure knowing this well will help you adapt. . . I wish I had something like this when I went.’
He quietly stroked his chin as he skimmed through the information about Auterica.
– The largest force that dominates the religious world of Auterica, the saint of the main church, ‘Heinrich Saint Landguard’, together with his colleagues, confronts the Immortal King, and the immediate war can be avoided. However, it remains unchanged that it is a precarious situation where you do not know when or what kind of incident will happen…
– Vampire demons occupied the kingdom of Thalia in the western part of the Ion continent. Right now there are no problems due to the vampire lord’s strong control, but this is also uneasy…
Of course, most of the information was what he knew.
In fact, he didn’t even say he knew, it was only natural that he intervened in more than one or two important cases.
‘This?’
But not all information was useless—.
Surprisingly, it contained information that he hadn’t been able to figure out before.
-A coup d’état broke out in the Kalkos Tribal Alliance in the southern part of the Ion continent. It was so secretive that details are unknown. However, it is basically an area exclusive to outsiders, so if you started here…
‘Coup d’etat?’
I already knew that the Confederation of Tribes was noisy, and I was thinking of visiting soon.
It’s just that I’ve come this far because I’ve been putting off a lot of things lately.
‘But you mean a coup? Is that so secretly that the various intelligence organizations in Auterica are not aware of it?’
Of course, the tribal confederation was so closed that it was called a blind spot for information, but it was not unusual that no one noticed such a big incident.
It meant that the person who started the work was really determined and started planning.
‘But even those who were so thoroughly blocking information must not have known that earthlings would escape beyond the dimension. If he knew about this, he would have been a high-ranking aide.’
Anyway, thanks to you, I got useful information, so I’m grateful for this.
“Hmm… South, coup. How can I not use this? It would be nice if we could find out more details.”
Big events follow big karma.
Besides, there must have been more to Harley in the South.
‘No matter what anyone says, it’s the home of the heart!’
Of course, even that was decided unilaterally by Harley.
Still, if he breaks the backs of all those who refute, wouldn’t everyone recognize his sincerity?
So, in the southern part of the country, which had been postponed due to lack of information, an appetizing and mature scent began to emerge.
