Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 341

An uneventful day passed and the next day dawned.

In the meantime, I hoped that a few distraught knights would pay again, but unfortunately that did not happen. I wondered if those who were clearly superior in skill to the knights robbed by me might come because of the honor, but as the Margrave Kelvast said, there was no news about whether it was related to the groundwork to use me to create a story.

To be honest, when I got there, I had more expectations than money that I might be able to meet a talented person, but it was inevitable. Shortly after opening my eyes in regret, the Margrave of Kelvast, who offered me an extremely early breakfast for a nobleman, handed me after the meal was not a document, but a dog tag that looked like an adventurer’s rank list.

“Anyway, it’s better to do this rather than document it. I’m sure it can be used anywhere in the West Zone.”

He was also a man of great influence. I asked if he was afraid of the possibility of misuse, and he said it was something close to a one-way ticket.

“It’s an item that you can pass without any restrictions only when you’re moving away from Kelvast. So, make sure you don’t miss anything on the way back and move around. There’s no disadvantage when you go back, but we’ll pass it only after being investigated, and to you It’s going to be a lot of trouble.”

really makes everything Isn’t this actually something for exiles?

Well, even if it was, it didn’t matter anyway because it was a perfect item for me who was in a hurry to leave. Upon accepting the goods with a polite expression of gratitude, the Margrave of Kelvast nodded in satisfaction as well.

“It’s a disappointing meeting in many ways, but it seems like this is enough and it’s been sorted out smoothly. Regarding the problem with the gate… Let’s talk it over with Etis-L in an amicable direction. The rest of the details are for the servants to help. I’ll keep the word.”

It seemed like a nuance to stay as a guest until the preparations were finished, but at the same time, it could be interpreted as meaning to go as quickly as possible. It would be fun if it were fun to sit down like the truth, but since the price is my time, I decided to endure it this time.

“Thank you for your consideration, but I just finished preparing yesterday, so I’m going to start like this.”

“Well, since you said you came through the gate all of a sudden, your acquaintances must be worried.”

“Yes.”

I’m so worried that my back will probably catch fire when I go back.

I felt like I was breaking out in a cold sweat because the reality I had been ignoring suddenly came right in front of me, but the last conversation with Margrave Kelvast ended smoothly. After digging out like that, I packed all my belongings and saw my words that made me feel good just by looking at them, and seeing the well-stocked equipment on top of them, I started to feel like I understood why campers got sick with equipment.

Of course, the good thing was that it ended there.

As soon as I got out of the castle and completely crossed the well-maintained roads and gates of the city and left Kelvast, what was spread out in front of my eyes was a huge wilderness.

No matter how hard I worked on designing and preparing for the future, when I suddenly fell alone in a foreign country where I didn’t know anything…

“Ha, the feeling sucks.”

Only swearing came out with a laugh. Anyway, whether I was driving forward or standing still, the feeling of helplessness was the same, so I decided to move forward and feel helpless for now.

Perhaps because it was early in the morning, there were few queues or travelers heading to the city, even though we were still following what could be called a road. If it was the way I knew, I would have struggled in boredom, but to me, who had to rely on the map alone from one to ten, such feelings were no different from luxury, and every time I woke up, I was struck by the magic of passing time and distance and moved forward.

Maybe that’s why we set out looking at the rising morning sun, but the sun started to set behind us before we knew it.

“Really, your previous owner was a fortune. He was a fortune.”

After getting a deep sense of satisfaction from patting the neck of a well-listened and strong horse, I set up a site on the edge of a forest a little away from the river and prepared for camping. After looking around for a while, there were quite a few things that could be used for firewood, so I decided to just rely on the campfire until I fell asleep.

I hurriedly untied the thread, hung it over the surrounding trees, hung a bell, set up a tent, and finally installed a magic stone stove and a crime prevention magic tool inside, and the sun completely fell just at the last minute. If I had saved money on the tent, it was clear that I would not have been on time because I was suffering from poles and trestle that kept falling over.

“Hmm, not bad.”

I don’t know if it’s because I moved alone, but it’s something I’ve always done, and I felt a strange sense of satisfaction. I had more time left than I thought, so I decided to completely revise my dinner plan, which I had originally intended to eat simply, and boil the stew.

Even so, I just boiled the meat that I was supposed to roast today and tomorrow with potatoes and various seasonings.

If I had a bag, I would have taken out Lovell’s seasoning, which I learned the recipe for after sparring with Ekatrina. This is more like a soup than a stew.

“Still, it smells good.”

I couldn’t cook properly in my previous life, but I was amazed at my own skills that improved day by day, so I waited blankly for the completion of the thread splitting, and at some point I started to hear artificial noise from afar.

It was a sound I had been listening to lately. The sound of clashing weapons.

“Yeombyeong, I should have used a magic stone stove.”

I started a bonfire to save money, but I’m not in a good mood to hear that kind of noise already. When I listened carefully to the occasional visit to Goseong, it seemed that they were fighting not with monsters, but with people.

It wasn’t really my business, so I was neglecting it with the feeling that it didn’t matter if I didn’t approach it, but somehow the sound of fighting disappeared, but the light shimmered and started coming towards me.

“Ha… They say they don’t even touch dogs when they eat, but they try to touch people.”

I neglected it for no reason, cut off the traps I had set up, and thought that my meal would be ruined.

◈

Encounter bandits on the way.

It is very common in the western kingdom zone. Even in places where cities and villages are close together, robbers were not uncommon, and if the distance was a little farther away, there were bandits looking for food in a moderately good place.

It was possible because it was a place where not only fights between kingdoms but also fights between nobles were frequent. It is so common that many mercenary groups are formed every day, but are broken up in a single battle and become bandits, so it is not surprising to anyone.

As a result, there are not a few cases where they pretend to be common thieves and attempt assassination or try to end a grudge relationship.

like right now

“Captain, we have finished arresting important people.”

The man called the captain nodded his head quietly as the assailant reported in a calm tone after striking the backs of the heads of those who were defeated after a long battle and tying them up one by one with a club.

This was just one of the common and messy gossips between nobles, but it was by no means light. Those they capture today will serve as great shackles to rival families. It was fortunate that the work was completed well and there were few casualties, compared to the uneasy plan and the negligible skill of the enemy.

“What about those lights? I’m sure you heard them.”

“…If you notice something strange and look around here tomorrow morning, your plans could be disrupted.”

I had to kill it because I couldn’t leave even the slightest element of anxiety behind. I was sorry to bring in an unrelated third party, but I can only assume that I was out of luck.

After hearing his answer, the ten assailants finished reorganizing before they could hear every detail, and moved towards the flickering light from one side of the forest, leaving the five wounded as guards for the bound prisoners. The purpose was to hurry without the need to maintain a prayer cover, so the movement was fast because they approached without turning off the torch.

But Encounter was faster than they expected. Because the other side was also coming toward them.

The other person said, standing at a distance where it was difficult to see his face properly because the light of the torch did not reach it yet.

“I won’t talk for a long time. If you don’t want to die, go away.”

It seemed like an adventurer or a mercenary who had lived a rough life to swear at them as soon as they saw them. Seeing as he was carrying a large two-handed ax on one shoulder, it was highly likely that he was an adventurer. It seems like it would be difficult just to wield it, but seeing that he had abandoned the advantage of being a campsite he had set up and entered the wooded forest, it seemed that his head was a bit lacking.

Well, that’s why he must be so confident against ten people. Looks like a savage warrior.

“Consider yourself out of luck.”

They had already gotten used to the pincer attack by matching dozens and hundreds of times, so they didn’t need a signal or a spirit. As soon as the captain’s words were finished, the assailants rushed forward, matching the speed accurately.

I had no intention of being careless as one. It was said that he was already confident in his skills from taking such an action, so if he did something wrong, he could get injured.

“Do the shit.”

Sure enough, the other party was not afraid of those who were feverishly pulling out their swords and running towards him.

Just fix the axe.

Accordingly, the assailants guessed the range of the ax and prepared to wield it.

At the expected range, the ax was swung and at the same time as he prepared to pull himself out, the opponent blew a whistle.

– Pip!

signal. pincers. trap.

Reasonable suspicion, based on the whistling sound and the confident attitude of the opponent, grabbed the gangsters’ ankles and raised their alertness, but at that time, something unknown had already pierced the heads of more than five people. The captain, who confirmed the appearance a little later, shouted in a voice full of astonishment.

“It’s an archer! It was a trap…!”

However, his cries did not reach the end.

Because the ax he thought he was going to wield suddenly flew and lodged in his chest with a blunt impact.

Even though he could not overcome the weight and felt his body floating, the captain could not erase his doubts. Throwing a weapon this big like a hatchet? Even after falling to the floor, it was impossible to even roll over because of the weight of the axe. At first, he had time to think about it, so he thought the armor he was wearing was doing its job, but he looked up and saw that the ax had more than half of one blade stuck in it.

‘Damn it, I must have been numb because death was approaching.’

Still, since he threw his weapon, he looked forward with hope that he might be able to deal with it somehow, but all he saw was his men who had all died in that brief moment and the owner of the ax approaching him. In his hand was a sword that seemed to belong to his subordinates.

Even seeing the blood dripping, it seemed that he had taken his weapon and even cut his men to death.

“Damn, where the hell did you get such a freak…”

Is this a coincidence that makes sense? Suddenly, at the last moment when everything in the world was unfair, the man who was looking down at him raised his sword while chanting in a low voice.

“I guess I was out of luck.”

‘A savage bastard like a dog. What a fucking thing to say… Ah, that’s what I said.’

The sword was thrust into the heart of the captain who gained a belated realization while he was unable to speak due to blood gushing out.
