Chapter 53 – Warlock’s Request

I woke up early and arrived in front of the eastern gate a little earlier than the scheduled meeting time. While waiting for the party, I looked at the map I had bought the day before. You can memorize the route properly by looking at the map and doing your own research.

Memorizing the surrounding geography is an essential culture for adventurers. Try to keep it in your head as much as possible.

“Are you here early?”
“Ah, Mr. Gibson. Good morning.”

As dawn ended and the morning sun brightened the world, Gibson came to visit. I greeted him and briefly discussed what to do today. Gibson also said that he had hunted scale wolves, so he shouldn’t have a big problem.

“Hi, am I the last?”

Then Cloudy arrived. I said that right away as soon as I arrived, but it’s a pity that Maurice is still there.

“Hmm, should I wait a little longer?”

She came closer and stood next to me with her arms crossed without a word. She then lowered her head as she muttered something. I wondered if I was suffering from mental illness, so I thought it was meditation because I glanced at it with anxious eyes.

The color of his skin and hair is a bit unusual.
Brown skin and light purple hair are as rare as my black hair.

“Mr. Maurice is late.”
“Why isn’t Shiva coming?”

We waited for Maurice. Seriously, when will you get this fucking pig? Until you think To put it bluntly, he was fucking late.

Even though they had decided to gather in the early morning when dawn had just ended, they did not show up until it was time to finish eating breakfast.

“Oh, sorry. I’m a little late.”
“Sure. You’re a little late. Hey, the sun rises late these days.”
“At my age, waking up in the morning is so hard. Come on, let’s go.”

I felt a little bit fucked up because he didn’t seem to care too much about being late. He couldn’t even hear me being sarcastic.

I’m a little uneasy about this.

Lately, I’ve been forgetting because my team luck is good, but since ancient times, my team luck has been bad.

Even when playing the game, if you turn the cue, you will lose 7 out of 10 due to intentional throwing or trolling by your teammates. Is it a dodge angle? Yes, you do I am Bukkae (Gura). How many defeats did you experience while making a bluff called.

“It takes about two hours on foot to the eastern swamp.”

As much as it was delayed, the party’s march speed was a little faster. As soon as he left the gate, Gibson, who seemed most familiar with the road, took the lead, and Maurice and Cloudy in the middle. And I followed behind.

As I walked, I walked while grasping the topography and features. While looking at the map in between, I made observations with the intention of completely memorizing this route. It is very important to accumulate new knowledge in order to live in a different world.

We crossed the highway and entered the forest area. Looking at the map, it says that you have to go deeper here to find the [East Swamp]. At first glance, it is a monster hot place. Usually, if a specific place name is attached to the outside of a city, it can be regarded as a place where a large number of monsters appear.

“Hmmmm, hey. Did you say Cloudy? You have an excellent off-white color. Where do you live?”

Maurice, who was walking beside Claudius, seemed to be moved by her, and she threw her flirtation at her. Oh, you are very energetic.

“Isn’t the life of an adventurer difficult?”

I wish I could just focus on my work when I’m working. Being an adventurer and being professional is ridiculous, but at least you shouldn’t intentionally hurt the feelings of the people you work with. This is especially true of mixed parties. People who flirt without knowing the degree often appear.

“With the body of a delicate woman… How much experience do you have?”

I thought they were talking, but when I listened to it, it was Maurice talking alone. In fact, even if I were a woman, I wouldn’t have felt so good if a man like that flirted with me. Her silence her was understandable.

“Hey, if a person is talking, even if you pretend to listen…”

Maurice tried to hold Cloudy’s hand.

It’s troublesome when Cloudy throws a party because she’s in a bad mood. Gradually, I thought that I should step forward and restrain myself in order to proceed smoothly.

At that time, Cloudy expressed her irritation in a sharp tone.

“Hey, did you say Maurice?
“What? Chu, chugeun?”
“I heard you right. Stop cold.”
“When am I going to get cold…!”
“Ah, ah, that’s okay. Let’s not mind each other.”

Gee, damn it.
Use it when party members fight.
Maurice’s face turned red.

“You look cool.”

Before Maurice could say anything, as she said, Cloudy walked towards me. It seems she intends to walk in the back with me, avoiding Maurice. Angry, he took one glar at Cloudy and then jerked his head to Gibson’s side of her.

“Whoa, that’s annoying. I don’t care what you say, but I don’t know why you’re trying to touch me. Why are these guys so rude?”
“It’s because they’re ignorant adventurers, well. They’re talking about it after seeing it for a day anyway. I’m just letting it pass. If I see it again later, I can filter it.”

She accepted her words, which suddenly threw up her irritation. I walked like that, chatting with Cloudy in the back row.

She must have felt that she was in a similar situation in that she was from the same ethnic group, so she spoke to her compatriots she met in a foreign country as if complaining.

“Really… It looks easy just because you have brown skin? It’s not just one or two people. Thanks to that, I had to buy clothes to cover my body.”

Somehow since the day we met yesterday, I had been wearing a hood over it, so I guess it was to cover her face. Hagisa If you’re a beauty from a different race, you’ll flirt here and there.

“That’s right. Originally, these guys have no concept here. Rude bastards. I’m also treated as a savage because I have black hair.”

I accepted the gossip in moderation and continued talking. Since racial discrimination still remains in this world, the conversation opened. Come to think of it, that trend remains even in modern Earth, but in another world, it was worse if it was worse, not less.

“Well, by the way, where did Mr. Cloudy go to Seoul from? You have an appearance that is as rare as mine.”
“You talk about people as if they are from the countryside. I came from the West Station.

Where else are you?

“Shurdin? I’ve never heard of it in my life.”
“Yes. It’s a very hot country. And it’s not Shrudin, it’s Shrudic. I wore it lightly until I first came here, but back then…”
“Haha, did the men over here flock like bees? Then it would be difficult.”
“Yes! That’s right! Seriously. Ha, the clothes here are uncomfortable.”

What about everyday clothes in ‘hot regions’?
Do you just dress like a dancer?

She seemed to have accumulated a lot. Even in the midst of her complaints of her, she seems somehow excited, but since she’s from a foreign country, she may not have had a chance to have a conversation like this with anyone else.

Her set of tight leather garments seemed to cover her flesh but not her natural figure her. It can be said that she rather emphasizes the curvature of her female body, but just looking at her exposed body of her, it is understandable that men’s eyes will turn when she is dressed like a dancer.

At least it’s a shame because he’s wearing a hooded cloak.

“Still, it’s nice to talk to you. Can I call you Kat? I like you because you’re like guys from your hometown.”
“Oh, a woman shouldn’t say such a thing. This tickles her heart her.”

Claudy’s assessment was that the men in the province of Shurdin, like me, were gentlemen among gentlemen, with good manners, courtesy, and, crucially, a good looks that appealed to many women.

Anyway, I felt better. Men are simple creatures who feel good just by talking to a beautiful woman (except for Winia).

“You’ve arrived. From here is the eastern swamp.”

As Gibson said so, the scent of old mud and rotating leaves wafted up.

Arrived at the eastern swamp.

Looking down over the hills, I saw a number of pools, with vegetation sprung out of them, and huge trees rooted in the bottom of the swamp. The gloomy is the swampy area as shown in the picture. Somehow, it seems that a group of crocodiles will come out. Crocodiles.

“The Scale Wolf will attack first, so let him relax a little.”

As Gibson said, I pulled out my new knife and walked with it in my hand. Did you say that good confidence comes from good equipment? With a sword of this size, it feels like it could cut even a scale wolf in one blow.

—Suddenly.

“What is that?”

Perhaps because it was a swamp area where a lot of monsters appeared, other monsters could be seen here and there. It turned out to be a small group of Gnolls. They walked on two legs with their backs bent, jumped on four legs, etc., And disappeared into the corner of the swamp, showing various appearances.

“I also buy play here.”

…If I see it again, I’ll kill it first and try to remove that pepper.

It’s very inconvenient and unfortunate, but I can’t help but ask to bring it. I had to make a decision here. The answer to the cruel question of whether to capture captives, cut out only the peppers and release them, or just kill them and then remove the peppers.

Neither of them would be called merciful.

We traversed the swamp, be careful not to trip. Moving as carefully as possible, I searched for the scale wolf and detected the surroundings. However, unlike us, who are cautious, Cloudy’s steps her were very light. I said.

“It moves lightly.”
“Because in my hometown, there are cases where you fall into the sand while walking in the desert. The art of shinning is the basic of the basics.”

What the hell is psychiatric And, as expected, they seemed to have lived in the desert. In fact, if you’re a brown-skinned beautiful girl, you can’t cut it unless you live in the desert.

“Shh. Found it.”

Gibson signaled.
Holding our breath, we crept up behind Gibson and carefully pulled back the bushes.

ㅡWagjak, wagjak.
ㅡ clumsily.

“You’re eating mindlessly.”

Beyond the bushes, scale wolves gobbled up gnoll meat. Just watching them gripping the corpse with their forepaws, ripping off the flesh with their sharp teeth and munching on it made me feel full.

This baby… Blessed it.

“Follow me from here on out. I’m the oldest and most experienced. So it’s better for me to give instructions.”

It was the moment when Maurice, who had been silent all along, was speechless. No, do we, the adventurers, have to say that to each other? This is something everyone does on a case-by-case basis.

“Let’s put a siege first.”
“Eh… I see.”

Even if I didn’t say it, I thought I would do it once. Maurice sent Cloudy and Gibson to the sides. If you attack according to the signal, he won’t know where to run away and will attack you, so just knock him down.

“Did you say cut? You go in first. I’ll follow.”
“Hmm. Me first? Does the man go first?”

…Is this bastard stopping you?
I was n’t asking to take over her vanguard her, I just spoke as if giving an order, so my tone sharpened.

“As you can see, my weapon is an axe. If you go and check it first, I’ll cut it in two.”
“Okay?”

I was about to say something, but decided to just try out the new weapon and my increased skills.

Even during his F-rank days his, he fought and defeated Scale Wolf once. At the time, I literally had tears in my ass, and even though I had a devastating and dramatic victory, the scars from his scratches remained permanently. At that time, I also remember that the leather was also taken off in a mess, so I didn’t get paid properly.

“Well, then I’ll go first. The old man follows after that.”

Now was the right time to test my combat prowess. Let’s test how much of a person I’ve become since then.

Seeing that Claudy and Gibson had taken their positions, I aimed my sword at it and ran away with a banzai attack with all my strength from the lower half of my body.
