27. Mountain hut⑴
“Oh right. “Did you hear that?”
” what?”
“The story of Sergeant Moon Jeong-hyuk.”
“Why Sergeant Moon Jeong-hyuk?” Looking around like a thief
“Corporal Byun Il-soo said he saw Sergeant Moon Jeong-hyuk’s Facebook message. “In the four regions.”
“… … Facebook message?”
“ok. “I guess I left without logging out.”
“I heard you looked through it?”
“uh.”
“Wow, Corporal Byun Il-soo’s body is really big. “If you get caught, you won’t be searched.”
“He’s a secret idiot, that guy. But do you know what’s really awesome?”
“What?”
“Who did Sergeant Moon Jeong-hyuk send a message to?
“He said he did a lot.”
“with who?”
A sinister laugh.
“Ex-boyfriend.”
“… … “Are you talking about my ex-girlfriend?”
“No, really, my ex-boyfriend.”
“What kind of bullshit is that? “You’re my ex-boyfriend?”
“Ugh, you idiot. Gay, gay!”
“… … “Sergeant Moon?”
“Yeah, isn’t that a scary goal?”
“No, why did Sergeant Moon…” …
“I don’t know. Anyway, Seungsu Kim, you too be careful.”
“me? Me, why’?”
“Sergeant Moon was really annoying to you. “It’s the same during guerrilla attacks.”
“Are you a fool? “He took care of it because he was the squad leader, so it’s annoying.”
“You bastard, this too has been passed on to Sergeant Moon. “How far have you gone?”
“You crazy bastard. “It’s creepy, so don’t say things like that.”
A loud voice.
“Hey, Seungsu!”
“Private! Seungsu Kim!”
“Come back to work for a moment!”
A thief giggling softly.
“Wow, fuck. You came because I said so. “Go quickly, your lover is looking for you.”
“I’ll kill you, really.”
“Hey, Seungsu Kim! “What are you doing!”
“I’m leaving now!”
An uneasy feeling holds me back.
It’s already August.
It was the last week of June when we left South Harbor. It took ten days to get out of the Savon region, and a fortnight passed while passing through the Lydburn region. And only ten days ago did we enter the Marva region.
But damn it, I still haven’t arrived in Longville. I guess I’ll have to walk diligently for at least two days. It’s quite a long trip.
The reason the trip took this long was due to several factors.
First of all, the absolute distance itself was enormous. The Kingdom of Milan is largely divided into five regions: north, south, east, west, and central. And South Harbor and Longville are the southern and northern ends of the South. In other words, it means that Kingdom X has been terminated. That’s a huge distance.
Second, there were too many distractions.
The first thing that came to mind was the monsters and magic enemies that attacked me from time to time. There were rare cases of damage, but it usually took up a lot of time.
Sometimes, when I stopped by a large village or territory, I would eat lightly for two days because I was busy doing business. In addition, a carriage wheel breaks, a horse collapses from heat, a signpost is misread, and the person goes back the same way… … . All sorts of things happened.
So, on days when I walked a lot, I felt like I could go 40 or 50 kilometers at a time, but it was also common for me to not be able to move even one step at all.
What I found comforting through this hardship was the fact that Ellen and I’s level increased.
If I were to write down my character sheet,
Name: B Level: 19
Class: Blood Knight
Stats: Remaining bonus – 2 Strength – 24 (42) Dexterity – 23 (39) Health – 21 (33) Magic – 12 (14) Skills:
Blood Blade 5pt, Plunder 2pt,
Blood Shield 2pt,
Flowing Blood 5pt, Hot Blood 2pt, Thirst 4pt, Blood Thirst Lpt, Blood Purple Lpt If you do the calculations, you will see that this is not a sheet that can be obtained at level 19.
Thanks to receiving free points several times, his stats are at level 21 and his skills are at level 23. If I had seen it in the past, I would have thought it was Photoshop or a hack. Well, it’s strange, but it’s a positive phenomenon.
And, strangely enough, Ellen’s sheets were the same.
Name: Ellen
Level: 18
Class: Elemental Wizard
Stats: Remaining Bonus – 1
Strength – 10(10) Dexterity – 12(14)
Health – 16(22) Magic Power – 32(68) Skills:
Wind Fist 3pt, Dance Spirit Lpt, Flame Arrow 4pt, Burning Weapon 2pt, Fireball 2pt, Cold Spray 3pt, Frost Butterfly Lpt, Frost Fang Lpt, Lightning Lpt
It’s definitely strange, and there are two phenomena that I don’t understand.
Let’s start with what we can see: Ellen suddenly realized the ‘Lightning’ spell.
Of course, this wasn’t taken by me. I was trying to raise him to be a 3-attribute mage. I had no intention of letting her learn electricity-type spells.
I didn’t get a bonus, but I got it for free, but it still feels uncomfortable. Well, maybe it’s because it’s growth out of my control.
If I’m going to learn it already, I still feel regretful that I should have learned something that I haven’t filmed yet.
There’s something else strange.
Recently, Ellen became disabled and lost a lot of her strength and agility. Then she took the herbal medicine and her symptoms improved, and her stats recovered little by little.
By the time I consumed all the covenants, my stats had fully recovered. However, she was still unable to shake off her disability.
My senses are intact, no, I am more sensitive than before, and my movements have become quite natural, but I am unable to walk. I worry that I might not be able to recover through the covenant.
At that time, the guy who was worried about me opened his mouth with a sullen expression.
“What are you doing? “Don’t stand there like an idiot and push.”
“… … “It’s so annoying.”
I muttered that and tightened my back.
“Turn it off.”
It rattled.
“Kyaaa!”
As the wheel stuck between the stones came off and the carriage shook, Ellen, who was riding on it, cheered me on as if she was excited.
“Well done! “Push a little further!”
“Huh, let’s go up and see you.”
As the carriage shakes, the driver lifts the reins. The old pack horse and spotted horse use their strength to pull the carriage up.
Sigh-!
The ‘munch’ tied to the luggage compartment cries as if cheering.
The bundle is the same baby boar that was given to Ellen when she had a fever. Ellen always called me ‘a stinky bundle of fur’, so naturally the name became ‘a bundle of hair’.
“Mungchi, come to work.”
Thanks to the time I spent my time treating him, Mungchi’s broken leg was almost completely recovered. I fed it whatever I could get my hands on, and it gained weight, and before I knew it, it had grown to the size of a full-grown small dog.
“Oh, yes, here.”
Coop.
Now he was able to walk easily, and even on the shaking carriage, he was able to keep his balance and follow my hand.
It seems like just yesterday that you were running around like crazy and trying to escape. These days, when you hold out your hand, it’s so cute that they come up and bump your head.
While he was stroking the boy, Ellen asked him with a grumpy expression.
“What do you do other than push the carriage?”
“I feel like the knot has become loose. “If the rope gets loose, you’re going to make a fuss again, aren’t you?”
I said that and tightened the knot tied around the bundle’s waist again. Ellen tsk and clicked her tongue.
“Why is that little pig so devoted to being pretty?”
“Isn’t that a pig? “How smart is this bunch?”
“Yes, it is a pig. “Dirty and smelly pig.”
“It’s not dirty and it doesn’t smell. How hard have I been washed? “Can’t you see that the fur is fluffy?”
“Ugh, get it off me!”
When I held up the bundle and showed it to her, Ellen was horrified and flapped her arms.
The place where we were was a road in the mountains with lush greenery.
It wasn’t a good road to travel up and down… … . The bridge I was originally planning to cross broke due to rising water during the rainy season. That’s why I’m having such a hard time taking a long turn and climbing the mountain.
Even though I was sweating profusely, I pushed the carriage up with all my might. Suddenly, the carriage picks up speed, and Ellen laughs and wonders what’s so good about it.
“Hey, *sigh* I can’t help you,
*Whoa* Are you laughing there?”
“Then what should I do?”
“I was flying for a moment. Mana, *gasp* how much does that cost?”
“How dangerous is the mountain path? “You have to save your mana at all costs, right?”
Fuck how much I saved mana, I’m about to collapse… … .
August in Milan was as hot as in Korea. Moreover, the southern part is said to be particularly hot, so it is probably comparable to Daegu… … No, I can’t rub there? Still, nothing is melting away. Anyway, it’s really hot.
Thanks to this, I had already taken off the heated plate armor and was now wearing only a quilted garment. What if monsters or bandits attack? Say fuck you. If I had been wearing armor, I would have been starved to death before that.
However, since this quilt is meant to be worn under armor, it is still very hot. It feels like wearing a fleece hoodie in the summer… … .
“Ugh, ugh, I can’t hold on!”
“Hey, hey!”
“Don’t stop me!”
Driven by an irresistible impulse, I took off my quilted clothes and threw my thin tunic onto the carriage.
“Hey, you crazy idiot, what are you doing!”
Was he surprised because the carriage stopped abruptly? Ellen stutters her words. Moongchi is also startled, and she starts crying.
But I didn’t have time to pay attention to that because I was too busy feeling the wind against my bare skin.
“Ugh, I’ll live… … After catching my breath, I pushed the carriage up again. After pushing the carriage for a while, Ute Kwai comes down from the hill. A refreshing sneer as he shakes off the sweat from his forehead.
“What are you laughing about?”
“Phoenix, slow.”
“Shut up and come quickly and push.”
Even though he was shaking, he stuck to the carriage. As the veins on Ellen’s arms, as thick as her waist, bulge out, the carriage rolls up as if on flat ground. Really, one force is very strong.
“Ugh!” As soon as the climb is over, a scream erupts spontaneously. As I fall into the carriage, I open the leather canteen and turn it over, and the lukewarm water wets my lips.
“Ah, it’s hot. “It’s hot so I’m going to search.”
“It’s okay if you stay in the shade. “Don’t make a fuss, just sit still.”
“… … “This bastard doesn’t even know how to get angry just because he talks a little more.”
“It’s not a criticism, it’s just advice. A wise person, take advice and advice to heart.” “Mr.—sigh.” Yes, it’s already hot, so let’s not heat up. If you stay still… … .
“Why are you so impatient? “It’s ugly, so put your clothes back on quickly.”
This time Ellen makes an argument. As soon as my eyes turn, the guy suddenly turns his head.
“Are you talking patiently about a topic that you only talked about while sitting in a carriage? “This disgusting guy.”
“Eck.”
He said that and grabbed my cheek, huh?
“… … what? “Why are you so cold?”
When I ask while massaging her face, Ellen flails around and doesn’t know what to do.
“Poetry, it’s so refreshing,”
“what? what?”
Despite this crazy heat, he was wearing his robe tightly as usual. That robe isn’t that thin, so why… … for a moment.
“hey. “This can’t be right.”
“Eh, eh! Kak!” It’s not just your face… your hands, arms, and calves are cool too, right?
“Is this robe immune to heat?”
Ellen, whose face turned red, shook my hand away.
“Really, ha, if you pinch my cheek one more time,”
“Are you saying you were enjoying these benefits while sitting still?”
“what? “It was originally mine, so what are the benefits?”
“Really, I can’t do it because you’re so obnoxious.”
“Ugh!”
I stretched out both hands and grabbed the guy’s face. He threatened the guy with his cheeks pinched and his face getting hot.
“Quickly, pull out the frost butterflies.”
“Ichioah, hi ah!”
“hurry!”
The guy’s fist hit my forearm, but the resistance was worse than that of a cat. Ellen eventually gave in to threats, not mine.
“Really, such a fool… …
Even while muttering that, he memorized my spell.
“Ostende te, quod papillon.”
A shining white butterfly bloomed at Ellen’s fingertips.
“Wow, wow.”
Is it an effect of the weather? There was no fatal coldness that was usually seen. But it was cool enough to further cool the stomach.
Hwiung.
The frost butterfly slowly flapped its wings and wrapped itself around my body. A cool breeze like a winter breeze.
“Ah, now I will live.”
“The girl’s trick is very useful.”
Before I knew it, I was near Ute Kwaido and enjoying the cold breeze.
As the heat cooled down and I regained my senses, my face felt stinging for some reason. Glancing around, I saw people sprawled out near the carts and wagons.
“hey! Are you the only ones having fun?”
“Those who don’t have a wizard in their party will live in sorrow!”
The guys talking like that were ‘Jori’, a peddler from Eyland, and ‘Eod’, a mercenary from Abiden. They are both young men around my age.
I flashed my middle finger at them and smiled.
“If you want to get some cold air, pay.”
“How much is it?”
“Um, a piece of silver?”
When I said this as a joke, some people gave me a mocking look. Crazy guys, you really want to pay for silver?
After cooling down properly, I put on my tunic and quilt and spoke to Ellen.
“Ellen, please send me over there too. “If this continues, I won’t be able to leave on time.”
Ellen pursed her lips but accepted my request.
“Friscant quod lis.”
Frost butterflies fly at the whispered command. Following the flutter of wings, a chill spreads through the midsummer forest.
Ellen’s lips twitch every time she expresses admiration for magic, moans of satisfaction, or words of gratitude.
So, it was time for the frost butterflies to leave after cooling off from the summer heat.
Grumbling.
The sound of something brushing against the bushes.
It’s a sound commonly heard in the forest, but it’s clearly suspicious that it’s coming from all directions at the same time. I yelled straight away.
“boundary! Something is coming!”
Saying that, he picked up a helmet from the carriage, put it on, and took out a sword and shield. I don’t think I’ll have time to put on armor.
While the mercenaries and soldiers grabbed their weapons, the merchants and workers were hiding.
“Ellen, go inside!”
“I will fight too,”
“Ellen, rules!”
He kept his mouth shut at my firm words.
This is a forest with dense bushes. Limited visibility narrows the engagement distance. And, fighting at close range is extremely dangerous for a wizard.
Ellen was fully aware of the rules I had set for her. Instead of being stubborn, the guy took out a wand and hid behind a pile of luggage.
Before we knew it, the bundle was hiding in a corner, holding its breath. Like a wild animal, it must have sensed something.
Around that time, a smell wafted through the wind. A terrible stench covered in sweat and feces… … . The decision was not difficult.
“It’s all greenskins!”
As soon as I finished shouting, an arrow flew out of the forest.
