Chapter 199 – Chapter 20

-I will update the location.-

Kaicent got off the ship and heard Artemis’ report in his head.

– That’s good. I was worried that there might be some trouble on the sea road.-
-I know. It was unexpectedly smooth.-

He had a strong memory of being held back by my ride more than necessary, so he wondered if he was wasting his time on all sorts of problems.

-But the real problem starts now. If it’s enough to be called a sea of ​​trees, it’s not just a wide forest.
‘I never imagined it would be that wide.’
-I recommend gathering information at the research fortress near Dahadern.-
-I agree.-

Lilith and Arty advised with the goal of finding the exact location by gathering information rather than recklessly overturning the flood.

Akina marked the location of the research fort on the map so that no time was wasted, so she should be able to reach it in a few minutes with a series of teleports.

-By the way, the East Continent has a very different atmosphere from the West Continent.-

Lilith, who was sharing Kaicent’s view through the monitor, could feel that the atmosphere was distinctly different.

In the West Continent, several countries wage wars over interests, whereas in the East Continent, one empire rules, so the overall atmosphere is stable.

In addition, there are many stalls selling street food, and the people seem to be enjoying the street food to enjoy the taste rather than to fill their stomachs.

‘Everyone doesn’t seem to have much to worry about.’
– The fact that citizens have a variety of food means that the country is stable. If the master came out of the sea without problems, he would have settled down doing something far from fighting.-

As Arty said, if she had escaped the flood with Dang Seol-young without any problems, she would have found a stable job and settled down in a secluded place.

After that, together with Dang Seol-yeong, the two of them would have lived a life far from fighting.

‘But if I hadn’t gone to the western continent, I wouldn’t have met everyone.’
-It’s nice to meet you, Master…-

Now, it is possible to enjoy sparring to a certain extent, but in the first place, the opportunity to live a peaceful life far from fighting was twisted by a human being’s absurd malice.

‘It’s okay. For now, let’s focus on finding Seolyoung noona. Thanks for your concern, Artie.’
-… Yes.-

I wondered if Kaicent would feel anger or sadness at the peaceful atmosphere of the East Continent, but the boy passed on casually, as if showing that he was becoming a man.

Once he moved in an obscure direction to an uninhabited place, he teleported high into the sky.

This is because teleporting on the street draws more attention than necessary.

-Let’s start navigation.-

He climbed high into the sky so that he could see the entire port city he was in, and he teleported as far as he could see in the direction Artemis pointed with an arrow.

As he teleported, he confirmed that the position of the arrow was bent to the right, and he turned and teleported again.

Teleport is a magic that allows you to instantly move to a place you remember, but it is impossible to travel to a place you have never been to, so it was devised and used.

It would be shocking for wizards to see magic that requires a lot of mana being used continuously without any delay, but I didn’t think about how great this was.

-30 km to the research fort.-
‘See.’

Kaicent, who looked down on the location of the research fortress, landed on the ground and then teleported to an appropriate distance.

‘Now everyone come out.’

When the dimensional warehouse was opened, Artie and Lilith, who had been waiting inside, escaped.

“Sigh!”

Lilith stretched out and began bobbing around, trying to loosen her stiff body.

“I’m sorry. You were frustrated.”
“It’s okay. I’ve been through worse than this.”
“It was a beneficial time for me to receive maintenance and set the direction for future upgrades.”
“I’m curious about that, but I’ll hear from you later.”

It fits inside the research fortress, and when it teleports out, it attracts the attention of many people.

The interest of the people in Kai Centro, who only check her information about her party establishment and want to get out quietly after saving her, is poisonous.

The three walked quickly and headed towards the research fort.

“Ah.”

The moment he arrived at the research fort located at the beginning of the flood sea, Kai Sent exclaimed involuntarily and raised his head upward.

The research fortress was just an ordinary simple fortress made of wooden walls to prevent invasion by monsters.

What he exclaimed was the shape of a tree near the fort.

“That tree. It was that tree. This is the forest I was in.”

Trees so tall and tall that you have to bend your neck back to see the leaves and cover the sky.

In the past, it was scary to make the night come quickly, but now I feel welcome and joy.

“Seolyoung noona is here…”

Kaicent, whose eyes started to burn red, wiped his eyes.

He has to be the man who must rescue her, not the boy who was only protected by her older sister.

“Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
“Let’s see the atmosphere inside first.”

At the entrance of the Research Fortress, adventurers regularly came and went in wagons with Dahadern, and merchants who wanted to do business with adventurers came and went.

Perhaps because most adventurers went to Dahadern and rode regular wagons, the guards who were guarding the entrance and arranging the wagons to come in sequentially showed a curious look at Kaisent and his party walking on foot.

However, this place was free for many adventurers and merchants to come and go, so Kaicent and his party did not ask for anything.

“What a strange combination.”
“I know.”

The guards turned their heads and looked at Kaicent and the others at the strange combination.

They weren’t weird.
After entering the research fortress, many adventurers looked at me as if they were looking at something strange.

“What are those?”
“Is that a golem?”
“A dark elf, a kid, and a golem?”

A very cute boy with white hair and eyes that would make you believe he was a girl if he dressed up just a bit.

A dark elf wearing custom-made plate armor that doesn’t show much exposure, but sticks to the body enough to make her slender body recognizable.

A female-type Machinaroid with eyes that shine with blue liquid crystal and a strange appearance that is not like metal.

No matter how you look at it, it’s a combination far from ordinary.

“Kaisent.”
“Yes?”
“I’m going to gather information about a woman named Dang Xue Ying. You should buy supplies.”
“Yes. But will you be okay?”
“Gathering information was my role in the original world.”

After that, she blended in with her adventurers and quickly disappeared.

“Then let us move too.”
“Huh.”

The remaining two began wandering around to find the market area of ​​the research fortress.

Took!

“Oh!”
“What is this kid?”
“What is that golem?”

However, in a research fortress where adventurers, mercenaries, and all kinds of humans are gathered, Kaicent, a small boy, quickly got into trouble.

“Little boy. Do you carry around something quite strange?”
“As an apology for bumping into us…”
“Hey.”

Seeing them openly revealing their filthy curiosity toward Artie, Kai Sent stretched out his arm and pulled the man who collided with him by the collar.

‘Kuh!? What, what? I couldn’t see my hand! Besides, what is this power!?’

Even though there is a considerable height difference, I didn’t see them until I was caught by the collar.

In addition, I was caught by the collar and even though I reflexively applied force to the pull, I could not resist at all and was dragged away.

“Ugh! Ugh! You bastard!”

The man who was caught by the collar and forcibly brought to eye level with Kai Sent tried to cut his hand, but of course couldn’t.

“I. Right now. I’m very busy. Stop messing around and get out of here.”
“Keuk… Kkeuk…!”

When the Dragon Fear energy was emitted from Kaicent’s pupils with the Dragon Factor activated, the man who received it head-on began to feel breathless.

When I lightly pushed the opponent and let go of the collar, the man hit him on the buttocks and fell unseemly.

“Go, let’s go.”
“Yes.”

The other man, who felt Kaisent’s peer close by, supported the man who was sitting down and quickly ran away.

“Kick giggle. To be scared of a kid like that.”
“…”

There were two reactions from the people around them who watched the small commotion.

Those who laughed at those who ran away after being scared by a boy who didn’t even seem to have had a coming-of-age ceremony, or those who felt the energy of peers and felt that they were unusually strong.

“Can I cause trouble?”
“If you go in with a bend, you’ll be asking for more and wasting your time. If you’re going to get into trouble anyway, it’s better to get the head start.”

Since it was related to Dangseolyeong, Kaicent, who drew a strong line, arrived at the market area where it was sold in the form of a stall.

Of course, they would venture out to the flooded area, so the merchants sold mainly preserved food and camping tools.

One side was selling goods, and the other side was selling items obtained from floods.

“A monster corpse with both death and water attributes!”
“There is a monster corpse that was killed with minimal wounds!”
“Mushrooms that contain fire, earth, and wood attributes at the same time!”

Because it is a world where all kinds of materials, including monsters, are used as crystal materials, animals and plants from other dimensions often have attributes that are normally impossible.

If too many materials were poured into it, crystal production could fail, so animals and plants with various properties were expensive.

“Ohh. A monster that has these attributes at the same time.”
“If you have these, it will be easier to make crystals.”

Alchemists, who could only gain money and fame by making crystals, were scrambling to purchase the materials needed to make crystals.

“That monster…”

A snake-like body and an ugly mouth that looks like a lamprey and a shark.

When she is with Dang Seol-yeong, she is waiting for the monsters that attacked her to be sold to the alchemist on the market floor.

After realizing that this was the place he was looking for, Kaisent only got plenty of food.

You can camp inside the dimensional warehouse, and ask Artemis to make other necessary items, and that’s it.

First of all, since others have eyes, he stuffed food into the bag he wore on his back, handed it over to Artie, and waited for Lilith to return.

“If it’s Lilith, it will come to us on its own. In the meantime, shall we look for information as well?”
“Huh.”

He decided to find information on his own rather than entrusting it to Lilith, but finding information was not so easy.

“Huh? The poison of flood damage? I know, but I need this.”
“A row of silver coins. Get out of here if you don’t have them.”

Because they all ask for money to get information.

‘I heard that the damage caused by poisonous people is increasing according to the information given by the information guild. I must be famous in my own way, but the reason I ask for this much money must be because I look young.’

I’d like to urge you to give out the information right away, but that’s a last resort.

“As expected, all organisms must be exterminated. These scumbags…”
“Be patient, Artie.”

Instead, Artie, whose hatred towards humans has subtly raised her head, tried to carry out the plan to exterminate humanity, but thanks to Kaicent’s Malin, it was stopped at the planning stage.

“It’s not too late to check the contents of the release and then launch it.”

Since it’s related to Dang Seol-yeong, it seems like I’ve thrown away my usual weakness somewhere.

After a while, Lilith returned to the party on her own, following Artie’s words.

“What? Those eyes that want to explode right away?”
“Organisms are garbage.”
“Is it worth saving the humans here?”
“…Don’t worry, I understand the situation.”

Lilith, who sighed at the sight of the two people revealing their eyes of human hatred, opened her mouth.

“I’ve gathered roughly the information. Based on the state of the exit over there, you have to go deep in the northwest direction. It varies from person to person, but I heard it’s roughly 10 days away. I’ve heard from many people, so at least the direction won’t be wrong.”
“I… I have the money, but how…”
“Foot. Men are bound to open their mouths when a beauty pushes them in.”

Although we haven’t met yet, there are different races such as elves and dwarves in this world.

A rare race called Dark Elf.
A beautiful woman with a beautiful body.

Few men have the mental strength to stand firm in the face of Lilith’s two-weapon temptation.

Moreover, it is all the more so if you only tell me the information that most people know.

“Organic bastards worse than waste…!”

Are you asking for money just to get this kind of information?
Arty, whose hatred for humans stopped when he met Kaicent, began to calculate a weapon to wipe out all the humans in this place.

“Haha. Thanks for the info. Then we’ll start right away.”

Kaicent, who did not want to spend unnecessary emotions, packed a bag full of food and went out.

For the safety of the fortress, all the trees around them were cut down, so they could see the forest with the darkness opening its mouth as if to devour them.

“Artemis, I’ll leave the navigation to you.”
-Yes, Master.-
“Then let’s go.”

Kaicent, who entered the forest, put the two of them back in the dimensional warehouse, and then teleported high into the sky and moved in the northwest direction.

‘Sister, please wait!’

The more she searched for the traces of Tang Seol-yeong, the more impatience tightened her heart.
