Episode 143 Capitel’s Identity

At the moment of tension, it was Ajin who intervened between us.

“Ahahahaha, chief. This man is a guest at Capitel.”

While looking down at Ajin who intervened, he snorted and looked me in the eyes and said.

“Hey, this isn’t the place for you. get out of the way I will speak with Iza directly.”

Ajin looked at me with a puzzled face at his attitude.

“it’s okay. We just talk.”

I reassured Ajin and sent him back to the nomads.

While helping the nomads, Ajin glanced at me to see if he was bothered.

“As the soldier said, are you a guest of Capitel?”

“That’s right, it’s a letter of recommendation written by the head of the border patrol.”

“Chief of the Border Guard?”

When I showed him the letter of recommendation, he studied it with a frown.

“Then how do you know my name?”

After confirming the letter of recommendation, the captain’s attitude changed dramatically.

I responded with respect to his changed attitude.

“I don’t know if you will believe me even if I tell you. I haven’t been able to connect with you.”

“A connection?”

I got over a hundred new cards, but not all of them were successfully connected.

Some cards were abandoned due to continued failure.

The Hassen Camille in front here was one of those cards.

I was wondering how to explain it.

The characters in the cards I’ve met so far were people I already knew because they were connected to me, so it was easy to explain, but it wasn’t Camille.

“I have a special ability. It’s about connecting with other people.”

“Are you saying you’re using witchcraft?”

“Let’s say something similar.”

In his question, I found an answer to explain the situation.

Azin said Capitel was a shaman.

Listening to his explanation, it seemed that the magic here was similar to that of a shaman.

So I decided to use it to convince him.

“So, you mean you saw me with that spell?”

“One day, I saw your name and figure with my abilities and I tried to connect. However, it kept failing. So I was remembering you.”

It wasn’t a lie.

It’s just that Card and Link Master didn’t give such detailed explanations.

Because it’s too complicated to talk about it all.

“Why did such a person come to meet our Capitel?”

There was still disbelief in his words.

It was to the point where I could feel the determination to risk my life and fight if I did even the slightest nonsense.

“I’m here to fix the gate problem.”

The problem of the demons was eventually directly connected to the gate problem.

That’s why I answered by finding the best answer to convince him.

Crowalala!

It was then.

I thought the battle was over, but a huge Lizardman appeared from the forest.

It reminded me of the swamp dungeon that appeared in the middle of Seoul.

Even then, there was such a big Lizard King as the boss.

“Can you leave that to me and Ajin?”

“I beg your pardon?”

I had a good idea and asked Camille.

Ah Jin wanted to join this unit.

I wanted to repay you for kindly explaining the eastern part and giving me directions while coming this far.

And it seemed like it would be nice to show off your skills if you want Camille to believe in us.

“Do not worry. Aren’t you curious about my skills too?”

Camille’s thick eyebrows wriggled, as if I had hit the mark.

He immediately gave instructions to his men.

“Get out of the way! The shaman said he would take care of it!”

“yes?”

The soldiers all looked at me with puzzled expressions.

I ignored their gaze and called for Ajin.

“Ajin! Can you help me?”

“Me?”

Ajin was also surprised.

I said putting my hand on his shoulder.

“Isn’t this an opportunity? isn’t it?”

When I pointed at the Black Wind Squadron and said, Ajin nodded and said, quick-witted.

“great.”

He raised his curved sword and put on a determined expression.

Big and la la la!

The Lizard King seemed to be very angry that his men had suffered.

He held up a trident as big as he was and slashed it down at us.

“Avoid!”

bang!

His trident pierced the spot where we all had fled.

It was so strong that it even split the ground around it.

“Edaforce! Restraint!”

This time, not the grass, but the ground itself began to move.

The land that rose up was bound by the Lizard King’s legs as it climbed up.

“Ha!”

Without missing that moment, Ajin jumped on the Lizardman’s tail and started running.

It was a great sense of balance.

Ajin did not fall from the violently wagging tail, but climbed up the back to the Lizard King’s shoulder in an instant.

Crowra!

The Lizard King struggled to get rid of the ajin on his shoulder and hit his shoulder with his arm.

However, Ah Jin avoided the attack by moving his seat each time.

Because of this, the Lizard King suddenly became abusive to himself.

Big and la la la!

As angry as he was, the Lizard King hit the ground that was tying his feet with his fist.

bang!

In an instant, the bondage was broken and his feet were free, and he jumped high on the spot and tried to fall from his back to the ground.

It seemed to be to get rid of Ah Jin.

However, as if it was an opportunity, Ah Jin went to the Lizard King’s chest and raised his sword high.

His curved blade was wrapped in blue mana.

Big la la la la!

Ah Jin’s curved sword neatly pierced the Lizard King’s chest.

Soon, the Lizard King fell to the ground with a scream that made his ears hurt.

thud!

The impact shook the ground greatly.

We all had to keep our balance so as not to fall.

Ah Jin, who was sitting on the Lizard King’s chest, walked slowly and cut the lizard king’s neck deeply with a curved sword.

Push!

Then, a huge amount of blood flowed from the Lizard King’s neck like a fountain.

Ajin quickly got out of the way to avoid being covered in blood and came towards us.

“Aren’t you too humble with me?”

I asked, remembering what he said, lowering his skills.

If you can use mana aura, you have to consider it at least an expert beginner.

“Because humility is a virtue.”

He answered straight and straight like that.

“Excellent, soldier. Did you say your name is Ajin?”

“Yes, I am currently a member of the Border Guard.”

Camille Hassen, the leader of the Black Wind Unit, also showed interest in his skills.

“Your aura needs to be refined, but the sense of balance you showed me earlier surprised even me. He was nimble.”

“It is an honour. I’ve seen the Black Winds a long time ago. I have admired it ever since.”

“It sounds like you are asking for acceptance.”

“Yes, I mean accept it.”

At Ajin’s confidence, the captain looked at him blankly and laughed.

“Your personality is no joke. I like that kind of spirit. I’ll talk to your captain about this sometime.”

“thank you.”

Ah Jin greeted the captain and me without hiding a happy expression.

“If it wasn’t for Mage Seo-Jun Yu, I wouldn’t have had an opportunity like this. Thank you.”

I nodded my head at Ajin’s greeting.

“If you know, be nice to me in the future.”

“Come to think of it, you are a very scary person.”

Camille said.

“Me?”

“Didn’t you know that Ajin was interested in our unit and deliberately tried to show his skills?”

Captain Camille was no fool.

He seemed to have sensed my intentions too.

“I will not lie.”

“ha ha ha. great. I like it. It’s kind of scary that you almost connected with me, but looking at you, I don’t think you’d do anything wrong if you did.”

“Am I supposed to thank you for thinking that way?”

“I don’t really care, so think for yourself. Yes, you said the two of you were on your way to Capitel, right?”

I nodded to the captain and he called for one of the soldiers.

“What is our schedule like?”

“We need to do some maintenance. Fortunately, it is close to where Capitel is located, so I think it will be enough to leave after maintenance there.”

After receiving the soldier’s report to see if there was a unit schedule, Camille nodded and said,

“Then, move with us. It will be easier to get to Capitel.”

“great.”

I accepted his offer because I thought that wouldn’t be too bad.

The purpose of monitoring me as an outsider seemed stronger, but it was not a loss for me.

It seemed like it would be easy to deal with the monsters that were coming to fight the virus if they were with them.

After deciding to accompany them, we first looked at the nomads.

There were people injured, but fortunately no one died.

There were no serious injuries, only minor injuries.

“It is fortunate that the damage was not great.”

“Aye, chief. Thank you for always. Thanks to them, we can safely lead a nomadic life.”

“no. Don’t neglect your training though. Sometimes we can’t help.”

“sure. sure.”

Captain Camille, who was talking to the nomads, seemed kind to the world.

It was to the point where I wondered if it was the person who had summoned the black storm with a terrifying expression.

“By the way, what do you mean, don’t neglect the training earlier?”

As we set off, I asked about the conversation between Captain Camille and the leader of the nomads.

“As you can see, our life is a wandering life, so we cannot protect all citizens. So, the tribal federation created a system whereby each tribesman trained enough to defend himself and his family.”

“Then, all the people will be able to fight to some extent.”

“Yes, it may not be as systematic as our soldiers, but each tribe and each family has its own fighting style that has been passed down from a long history. That’s why they were able to survive in this barren land for a long history.”

Although it was a grassland, it was certainly not a land that could be cultivated and settled.

‘How about Edafos?’

I asked Edaphos to investigate the land.

It was because of pure curiosity whether it was really difficult to farm.

[The soil isn’t bad, but the climate is definitely a problem.]

[Well, there is wind here, but the moisture is remarkably low.]

[Yes, I don’t feel that common lake.]

The wind element and the water element also helped one by one.

In a word, it was a land where there was no rain and water was precious.

‘So, is it difficult to make a well?’

[If you’re talking about groundwater, you can pull it up, but it’s too deep to dig.]

After hearing Edaforce’s words, I asked Captain Camille, who was walking alongside me.

“I hear there are tribes that have settled down. How did they manage to do that? And where do the nomads get their water?”

“It’s all thanks to our Capitel skills.”

“Did you say you were a witch doctor?”

“Yes, generation after generation Capitels have been excellent shamans. With that ability they found water and made it their settlements. There are not many of those settlements, but like desert oases, they have become a valuable place for nomads to rest and get supplies.”

Oh, that was it.

Finally, all doubts were answered.

There was a reason why eastern people could live while living a nomadic life.

It would not be enough to live with all the tribes, so they made a nomadic life and roamed the wide land, and made a system to rest or receive supplies from each settlement.

They were adapting to the barren environment on their own.

However, on the other hand, there would be an opportunity to develop after ending the nomadic life.

“Then, did you ever think about ending your nomadic life because your relationship with the Western Empire has improved?”

When I asked, Camille said with a hard face.

“It’s not that I haven’t thought about it. However, it always leads to bad relations with the Empire.”

He kept his mouth shut after that.

It looked like he didn’t want to talk about the empire.

“Captain! I see a settlement!”

Then, a soldier shouted.

A huge wooden fence was erected where he pointed.

And there were so many flags, and the colorful flags had pictures of various shapes drawn on them.

The front of the wooden fence was guarded by heavily armed soldiers.

As we approached, the man in charge of the fence came forward, recognizing the Black Winds.

“Isn’t it Captain Camille! Is the expedition over?”

“No, I stopped by for a short supply. On the way, he met an outsider who wanted to see Capitel, and came this way.”

“ah! You see! this person?”

The person in charge looked at me and asked.

I handed him a letter of recommendation from the head of the border guard.

“Huh, the head of the border guard himself?! Come this way!”

He returned the letter of recommendation to me and ushered us into the fence.

Inside the fence, a village of tribal people unfolded as if seen in a documentary.

The houses were all made of wood, with occasional tent-like houses made of fabric.

Children ran around the streets, and I saw a place where meat was dried and a cage raising livestock.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at us as we walked down the middle street.

“Capitel! Captain Camille Hassen and an outsider have arrived! An outsider wants to meet Capitel!”

The place we arrived at was a log cabin at the end of the road.

It was bigger than the other houses in town, but not huge.

The structure of the house also seemed simple.

The large entrance was not a door but covered with a thick, patterned cloth.

The cloth lifted, and a skinny old woman appeared with a cane.

At the end of her wand was a cluster of animal bones.

“Meet the great Capitel.”

When she appeared, everyone around her, starting with Captain Camille, knelt in greeting.

The old woman, a bony physique full of wrinkles, looked at them, nodded, and met my eyes.

And slowly her mouth opened.

“I was waiting. Lord of the elements.”

I couldn’t help but be taken aback by her words.

She knew I was chosen by the elements.
