Chapter 664

Chapter 664: Companionship (3)

Protruding blood vessels on the forehead,

very excited breathing,

even the gesture of biting the lower lip and clenching the fists,

the first thought that came to anyone’s mind when looking at Lee Baek-ho in a state of anger with his head full of heat was ‘he looks unfamiliar.’ ·

“···huh? Why don’t you answer? “Do you think it’s real?”

It couldn’t help but be a strange thing…

Lee Baek-ho always had an impulse control disorder where he had to do whatever he wanted…

But why does it feel unfamiliar to him to get angry?

As I thought about it carefully, I soon came up with an answer…

‘Then… · There was none·’

Surprisingly, Lee Baek-ho has never been seriously angry…

Even though they bickered about killing each other and all, should I say it was some kind of role play? I only acted like that because I had a reason to threaten…

But…

“Wow, I really didn’t know I would get screwed like this…”

This time is a little different from those…

Lee Baek-ho recognized that I had ‘attacked’ him and responded accordingly. He is showing an extremely sensitive reaction…

So I had to come to my senses quickly…

Not only was it not me who did it…

“Wait a minute…”

More than anything, I needed to quickly figure out the truth…

“… The spinning magic circle. “It’s broken?”

If this is true, I too would be in great trouble.

Even though there is a restoration magic set in the magic circle, it took at least a year to restore it.

“… Are you going to run away and get caught and see me sticking out my flippers?”

“You weren’t running away…”

“Then why were you running away?”

The GM carefully intervened in Lee Baek-ho’s rebuttal.

“That’s because there were traces of passengers at the entrance, so I was just trying to leave. I don’t want the fact that the Baron and I were outside to be known…” “

Is it true?”

“There is no reason to lie… And if someone really damaged the magic circle on purpose, I don’t have time to stay like this…”

“Huh… Is that so?”

Lee Baek-ho quickly calmed down his excitement at GM’s words.

If he was going to calm down with that one word, I wonder why he got so angry…

‘Oh, come to think of it, he can detect lies…’

Even if it didn’t work for me, GM To me, that ability must have worked properly…

That was when I was thinking…

“Mr. Baekho, what they said must be true…” The

archer who chased after Baekho Lee appears and supports our innocence…

“The scent that came out of there and The scent of those two is completely different…”

“…Really?”

Lee Baek-ho takes a step back with a shy expression on his face at the archer’s words.

“The scent continues over there.”

“Okay, accepted.”

Soon, Lee Baek-ho’s new model bounces like a rubber band toward the point the archer mentioned. He

becomes the opponent for his anger. It’s like I didn’t even get a proper apology…

“Let’s go too…”

“Yes…?”

First, I picked up the GM and ran to the spot where Lee Baek-ho was headed.

Shouldn’t we check together?

What kind of bastard did this?

Ta-da-ta-ta-da-!

As I was running through the forest at the maximum power I could produce, the archer who followed me quickly crossed beside me and overtook me…

But I guess I should just go quietly…

“…Excuse me…”

Is not being mean-spirited a specialty of civilian characters?

I don’t know, but after running for a while, I see Lee Baek-ho and an archer stopping by a bush.

The two were bent at the waist and looking down.

“They seem like very determined guys, don’t they?”

“Yes… I suspect it was a plan aimed at targeting us…”

“So, you’re saying our information was leaked… Who is it?”

“Didn’t you run into the Baron and his party at the old Noark Fortress? Maybe the information spread there

?”

Well, I’m not sure what the situation is, but if they were targeting someone, I think it’s highly likely that it was Lee Baek-ho, not me.

“So what’s down there?”

“Oh, would you like to come and see?”

Soon, as he slowly approached Lee Baek-ho’s side, a corpse that had been hidden from view by the bushes appeared.

A corpse in a terrible shape, with its entire body melted and almost half of its bones exposed

. “… It must have been suicide…”

Like a veteran wizard, he held the corpse. The GM, who didn’t move much after seeing this, glanced around and muttered, and Lee Baek-ho nodded, saying he was right.

“Really? “You think the same thing, right?”

“···This kind of tail cutting is a common tactic·”

“Have you found out anything else?”

“… First of all, he probably isn’t a wizard…”

“That’s right… Due to the skeletal structure, the left ribs of wizards tend to protrude a little more…” ”

Yes… This is a characteristic that occurs because the heart is much enlarged compared to ordinary people…”

These two are common knowledge. He was saying it as if it was, but it was the first time I heard it…

‘I have a big left rib…’

I don’t know why, but I should remember it…

It might be useful someday when I’m alone…

“I think the wizard who came with me will go back and stay here. It seems highly likely that this person damaged the magic circle…”

“Did he come all the way here and die alone to destroy the evidence?”

“Yes… Looking at the yellow powder on the leaves here, it appears that strong hydrochloric acid fruit powder was used… Oh, by the way, strong hydrochloric acid fruit powder is one of the main ingredients of the product commonly called the ‘Blue Curse’…”

“I know. · It’s an item often used in the royal family, right?”

Lee Baek-ho’s voice suddenly becomes as cold as an edge…

“… If the royal family was really behind it, they wouldn’t have used this product…”

“You don’t know that… They might have been targeting people thinking that way…”

“· ···”

Anyway, if I were to sum up the situation, it’s simple…

Whether it’s Lee Baek-ho or me…

This unknown corpse man here damaged the magic circle to tease us… What

he means

is… “Ha, I’m bored… According to my grandfather, it’s been enough for a year. I heard it would take a long time…”

We are in a situation where we have to stay outside the castle walls, whether we like it or not, until the restoration is completed.

***

“It looks like we have nothing more to gain from here, so how about we go back to where we were before? I also want to check the magic circle…”

At the GM’s request, we returned to the cave entrance… For reference, Lee Baek-ho’s colleagues were waiting in front of the entrance…

“Only the old man follows me, the rest stay here. · okay?”

“Okay, let’s come!” “Don’t worry, we’ll make sure no one gets in here!” The three of them

, including the gatekeeper and the mysterious new archer,

had them wait at the entrance of the cave, and then came out, GM Lee Baek-ho and the Destruction Scholar, and entered the cave in a 2:2 composition.

“Hmm, maybe we are caught up in this guy’s fate.” ·”

The destruction scholar who heard the situation only mumbled something meaningful and said nothing, and neither I nor the GM said anything else. ·

“····”

“····”

That’s a really awkward atmosphere…

Trap along · Baek-

ho Lee He was keeping his mouth shut, as if he had a lot to think about, and this uncomfortable silence continued until he reached the place where the magic circle was located.

“… It was really completely destroyed…” There

were dents and soot left here and there, as if dynamite had exploded. Scene:

“Grandpa, I heard you’ll have to wait patiently. What do you think?”

“···I have a similar opinion· It’s not that there are ways to improve resilience—·”

“What? Is there a way? Just tell me…”

“It’s virtually impossible in the current state…”

“Oh, I’ll make the decision, so just tell me…”

I frowned at Lee Baek-ho’s forceful tone, but within a moment, the GM told me the items I needed one by one…

As I listened quietly, I realized why realistically. I could tell why they said it was impossible…

Elder Lich’s Force Core,

Soul Winder’s Magic Core,

Ghoul Lord’s Life Stone, etc…

All the preparations mentioned were by-products that could only be obtained in the Labyrinth…

And of course, they carried the Magic Stone with them. Even so, there were no people who would take care of such by-products…

“Ha… How come they are all maniacs… I kept a lot of by-products that sell well, like ogre tendons…” ”

… So, I told you, right now… In this state, it is virtually impossible—·”

“Huh? “But it’s not impossible at all?”

The GM tilted his head at Lee Baek-ho’s sly words, and the destruction scholar nodded and explained on his behalf,

“Well, if this is your first time, you probably haven’t seen it yet…” ”

… What do you mean, you can’t see it? ”

“There are monsters outside the castle walls…”

… This is the first time I’ve heard of this…

***

Monsters exist outside the castle walls…

After listening to the story, these monsters had several characteristics…

1· For some reason, they were near Lapdonia. Monsters do not appear in ·

2· When defeated, by-products are unconditionally dropped, distortion magic is cast, and essence or magic stones can be obtained when hunting ·

3· The number of monsters is extremely small, but their intelligence is much higher than in the labyrinth·

If I were to summarize the big things, there would be three, but in my opinion, the most important thing here was number 2.

“…You can always get by-products when treating?”

“That’s right… It’s completely opposite to the labyrinth…”

Even when the life of the monsters outside the castle walls goes out, they turn into light and do not disappear, leaving their bodies intact…

And is it thanks to this feature?

“Some of the things I heard were just annoying so I threw them away… Ha… When are we going to get there again…” Lee Baek-ho was also able to easily obtain numerous by-products while living outside the castle walls

. Unfortunately, due to space issues, he was unable to purchase expensive items such as ogre tendons.

They say they only looted the ingredients…

‘Crazy…’

When I heard those words, a shiver ran down my spine…

‘A hunting ground where distortion is successful as long as you catch it?’

In some ways, it is as unconventional as the water purification plant on the first basement floor.

Not only can you make huge economic profits by hunting here and selling only the by-products, but you also think,

‘You can end this hard work of unknown length with just one hit?’

To me, this fact is very attractive…

Because barbarians are a race that is as fascinated with ‘by-products’ as wizards…

In order to grow ‘spirit imprint’, by-products of monsters are always needed…

In other words,

‘even level 9 materials can be eaten raw’ ‘Maybe it’s possible?’

Although it is unfortunate to be isolated outside the castle walls, it is definitely a golden opportunity to raise the level of the spirit imprint that has been stagnant for a long time—·

“Hey, Baron? “What are you thinking that’s making you laugh so hard?”

“···Nothing…”

“Okay then, let’s leave first, right? I’ll greet my colleagues properly later… I think we’ll have to go together for a while anyway…”

He said we should go together… “…

I understand…”

There’s nothing I’m anxious about since the other person is Lee Baek-ho, but if you look at it calmly, it’s okay to go together… It was right to go…

Since this guy probably knows a lot more about the outside world than we do…

We decided that it would be much more reasonable to follow him around for the time being…

“Grandpa, I, and Aures here said hello last time, so there won’t be a need… ·”

Lee Baek-ho, who soon came out of the cave, briefly introduced his colleagues ·

“This is our archer · His name is Layton Bryant ·”

His race is human, but his skills will not be inferior no matter which fairy he brings?

Oh, of course, he looked at me and added,

“Ah… but it won’t work against the Baron’s fairy bowman…”

How can you beat a kid who knows how to control the Dark Spirit King and even fed him a class essence?

“… Nice to meet you… I’ve heard a lot from Ms. Karlstein…”

“Yes, nice to meet you…”

I just ignored the hand that Bryant shyly held out and moved my gaze to the side…

Well, I also don’t know anything about this archer. Because I heard something from Misha, I don’t really have any questions… Unlike

that mysterious newbie…

“Oh, and this is our team’s healer…”

“I’ll introduce myself…”

Soon, the robe-covered newbie heard Baekho Lee’s words. He hung up and stepped forward…

He was

still wearing his robe, as if he didn’t intend to show

his face

…

·and?”

“Is this the end?”

It’s not wrong, but for some reason, that sharp way of speaking reminds me of Raven…

Is this… a characteristic of short kids?

As I was laughing, Reck Aures, a tanker on Lee Baek-ho’s team, approached me with a cheerful smile.

“Hahaha! “I don’t know how long it will take, but let’s get along in the meantime! Baron!”

…At least we can become friendly with this person…
