Chapter 083 The characters in the cards

After removing all the arrows, it just looked like an old wagon with scratches here and there.

Even if you were suspicious about the arrow holes, you could just say that you encountered a group of bandits.

He also had a mercenary plaque, so there was nothing strange about that.

I was a little worried, but I only changed my appearance, and I passed easily in the next castle I met.

“Pass!”

The soldier who scanned our faces once shouted.

As we followed the people who entered before us, the dirt road turned into a stone road and we saw houses made of stone.

“It must be a big city.”

It was a city marked as Count Gorgon on the map.

Seeing a lot of merchants coming and going, it seemed like a commercial city.

“First, let’s find an inn.”

“huh.”

As the city was large, there were many inns.

There was even a separate area where the inns were gathered.

“I’d love to be there.”

Among the many inns, there was only one inn where a wagon could be parked.

As I approached it, a neatly dressed middle-aged man approached me.

“welcome. This is Legaf, the Cloud Inn manager.”

The middle-aged man introduced himself and held out his hand.

When I didn’t know what I meant, Legaf cleared his throat and said,

“If you give me reins, I will move them to the stable.”

Oh, did you mean that?

After passing the reins, the middle-aged man led the horse and carriage to the stable next to the inn.

In the clearing in front of the stable, there were several wagons other than ours.

When I opened the door and entered, the first floor was noisy with customers, probably a restaurant and bar.

As we entered, a woman hurried towards us.

“How did you come? Are you going to sleep?”

“Yes, I’m going to take a day off today and leave tomorrow morning.”

“Are there four people in your party?”

“Yes, I would like two rooms, please.”

“Did you bring a horse or carriage?”

“Three horses and a carriage.”

The female employee who was counting on my answer smiled broadly.

“I can give you twelve and a half silver coins.”

Half a silver coin equals fifty copper coins? Because it is said that a hundred copper coins are equal to one silver coin.

If it was expensive per person, three silver coins were said to be the cost of a night’s lodging, so it was not a dump.

He took out thirteen silver coins from his purse and said,

“Could you get some water and beef jerky for change?”

There were still quite a few food materials, and the problem was drinking water.

Elemental magic was somehow obtaining water, but it was not possible to rely solely on magic all the time.

“If you have a hat, please tell me.”

“No, that’s enough. Then I will show you to your room.”

We were guided to a room by a female employee and sat down in the restaurant on the first floor.

We opened the map in the center and took pictures of the cities we had to go to.

“Do we still have five more cities to go?”

“Hyung, this is five cities, so the distance is considerable, right?”

“It has to be. Because the capital is not in the center of the empire, but in the northern part.”

The capital of the empire was at the northern end.

So we in the south had to cross to the north of the continent.

Besides, as Hyuk said, there are five cities, but the distance between them is considerable.

“This will take over a month.”

“By the way, if you go, can you go to the Demon Realm?”

“I wonder if this soul stone will show you the way. And Penzaric is also conducting research with his disciples. You should also meet Onin.”

“If Onin is that paladin?”

“huh.”

He had told some of his closest friends in the guild about his new ability.

In particular, I had to inform Min-young, Soo-yeon, and Hyuk, who came over here together.

Otherwise, this kind of strategy meeting itself would have been impossible.

“By the way, all the melee skills I’ve used so far are the abilities of the people living here, right?”

“That’s right.”

After hearing my answer, Soo-yeon let out a sigh.

“The world is so unfair.”

“There are a lot of unfair things.”

“Two traits. Ugh, this is a story that will really take you to the grave.”

“Thank you for thinking so.”

Still, the story of regression never came out of my mouth.

The reason why I had two characteristics was that I sold some Gilliant.

It was created by making a contract with a dragon.

Well, that’s not entirely false.

If Gilliant hadn’t used regression magic that day, I wouldn’t have been affected, and I wouldn’t have been given a chance.

Come to think of it, I could have been my enemy, but I gained a lot from him.

It’s not that I haven’t done anything.

When we go back and reunite, we should treat each other better.

“Oh, my ears tickle.”

“Suddenly?”

Gillian, in the form of Yoo Seo-jun, grumbled while scratching his itchy ear.

Standing next to him was Kim Hee-jin, president of the TFE fan club.

“So what happened?”

“Ah yes. I have several interview requests. I brought a schedule.”

Gillian looked at the documents Kim Hee-jin handed over and sighed deeply.

“Wasn’t Yi Hui supposed to take over for the time being?”

“Well, Madame Bugil is busy with the other world expedition, so even two bodies are not enough. Also, the figure of the Elementalist is not revealed in public, so there are various rumors going around.”

“Ha, I’m not sure. Doesn’t it take the moment I step out?”

“That’s why I am by your side. Do I know more about Seo-jun oppa than anyone else?”

“for example?”

“When dealing with monsters, look at them with colder eyes than anyone else, don’t like someone standing behind you, always confident, rational and warm-hearted… … .”

Kim Hee-jin, who was praising Seo-joon, looked at Gilliant and blushed.

“Ah, since you’re in the form of Seo-joon oppa, I’m more nervous for no reason.”

“Well, you seem to know exactly. Do you like Seo Jun that much?”

At Gilliant’s question, Kim Hee-jin’s face grew redder and she stepped back.

“Oh, don’t ask that question with that face!”

“huh? what’s the matter? What did I do wrong?”

Gilliant, who couldn’t understand Kim Hee-jin’s feelings, asked, and eventually Kim Hee-jin ran out of the office.

“I hate Gilliant!”

Embarrassed, Gilliant was just staring at Gwon Ei-hyeon, who was passing through the hallway.

“No, what. What did I do wrong?”

Gwon Yi-hyeon, who was staring at Giliant in bewilderment, shook his head, left a word, and went on his way.

“Oh, Gilliant has a long way to go? It’s because you don’t know the woman’s heart that much.”

“Should I just hit them all and move on?”

For a moment, Gillian, who was furious, thought of Yoo Seo-jun as he fiddled with the soul stone.

‘Come quickly, Seo Jun-ah. I’m going crazy. But are these guys doing well? It’s a tough world out there. Oh, come to think of it, wasn’t the Empire on good terms with the East at the time? Alas. Didn’t I tell you about that?’

Gillian, who momentarily recalled that he had forgotten an important story, soon became anxious and walked back and forth in the office.

‘no way. Still, I can connect with the kids there, so I’m sure I’m getting help and doing well.’

After being anxious for a while, Gilliant thought as he sat back down in the chair.

‘Come to think of it, I guess I’ll have to close the gate soon. You shouldn’t be crouching down too much in this look. I have to prepare to fight the Demon World.’

The secret of the soul stone must also be solved.

To do so, first of all, Gilliant told me what he knew, so Lee Hui’s other world expedition was roaming around the gate, but there were no results yet.

‘I’ll have to appease Kim Hee-jin first.’

That would make things easier.

Anyway, among the guild members currently here, except Seol Min-young, he was the only one who knew even the smallest habits of Yoo Seo-joon in detail.

After organizing his thoughts, Gillian left the office to find Kim Hee-jin.

In the midst of the noise, I was talking quietly in the corner on purpose, when the female employee from earlier approached me.

“Here, I brought you what you asked for earlier. This is change.”

The change he gave was five copper coins.

I took the items, put them on the table, and rolled her open hand again.

“I’ll do it for errands.”

Saying that, the female employee looked around with surprised eyes and spoke quietly.

“Then it’s a secret from the master. We are not supposed to get change.”

Then he said out loud as if nothing had happened.

“Thank you for using it. customer! What would you like for dinner?”

“Is dinner included in the accommodation fee?”

“Yes, it includes dinner on the day you move in and breakfast the next day. That’s why it’s a silver coin more expensive than other places. Of course, the food is just as good!”

“Do you have any?”

At my question, the staff smiled broadly and introduced the menu.

I was surprised by the variety of dishes than I expected.

Among them, we ordered one chicken dish and one pork dish, and added one vegetable stew.

“Yes, it will take some time to cook, so please wait and I will bring it to you.”

After the female employee left, we went back to the meeting looking at the map.

At that time, there was a familiar name that sounded in my ears.

“Isn’t Killian a bit strange these days?”

“Hey, don’t talk. You were grinding your teeth because there was someone stealing your skills?”

“But how do you steal skills?”

“I don’t know. He said he wouldn’t tell me even if he died.”

“You’ve been losing your mind lately, so maybe you’ve lost your taste?”

It was a story that interested me enough to turn my head without even realizing it.

Are you Killian?

The Killian I know?

Fearing that their eyes would meet, I turned my head back to the original position and looked at the map.

I asked the staff to keep their fingers up and be quiet, and I listened more.

“Ah, if the taste really went bad, would Ilia-sama leave? It cuts right off.”

“I think Ilya-sama is a bit strange these days, but does it sound like narcolepsy sometimes?”

Ilya? I knew that Killian and Ilia were both assassins, but I thought they belonged to the same group.

Surprised, I barely held back my head from turning once again and looked at them sideways.

A total of two men were sitting across from us with an empty seat in between.

Their impressions were very ferocious, one was skinny and the other was a muscular man.

A large tin cup was placed in front of them.

“Seojun, why?”

Soo-yeon noticed my behavior and asked quietly.

I used the element of wind to block our sounds or presence from being felt by those around us before speaking.

“for a moment. listen some more Pretend to be having a meeting like before.”

“okay.”

The team members nodded and started talking while looking at the map as before.

I kept my eyes on the map and used the element of wind to better hear what the men at the next table were saying.

“By the way, what did Ilia-nim say about this case?”

“Those who sneaked in from the East? I heard you want to catch it somehow?”

“No, why do we have to catch them? What are the imperial soldiers doing? Besides, you said you were going to capture him alive?”

“you idiot. That’s why you’re called a muscle fool. You have to capture them alive to make a deal with the state. This is a big one.”

“is it?”

Apparently, the Easterners in their stories were referring to us.

Has it already started?

Penzaric said he would take care of it, but considering the speed of the messenger coming down from the capital, it would take some time.

Until then, I have to go to the capital without being caught.

By the way, if Killian thought that his skills were being taken away, there was a high possibility that Ilya was thinking similarly.

Didn’t you get out of here this morning using the two techniques?

Killian and Ilia had never had a conversation through a person link.

‘I’ll have to call it out sometime.’

Clear up any misunderstanding.

To make it on my side too.

Based on what we’ve heard so far, these are likely intelligence organizations or contractors.

He wouldn’t do the right thing, but it was good to recruit people who would be of any help when dealing with the demons.

If you see him in person, he will try to kill you, so it would be best to talk to him through the person link.

Besides Killian and Ilia, other characters must have questions as well.

We might meet here by chance, so when I had time, I thought it would be better to meet face-to-face with the link skill.

“The food you ordered is here!”

By the time we organized our thoughts, the food we ordered came out.

A delicious smell tickled our nostrils.

Su-yeon folded the map and put it in her bosom, licking her lips.

It was the same for Minyoung and Hyuk.

“wow.”

“looks delicious.”

One whole chicken came out, but the outside was nicely grilled and the oil was flowing.

The grilled pork came trimmed, and the vegetables surrounding it added color.

And the steaming vegetable stew seemed to melt just by looking at the various colors and warm energy.

It’s the third day since I came to Fantasia.

While on the move, they ate meals using ingredients brought from the village or dry food.

Speaking of ingredients, most of them were bread. I never dreamed of cooking.

So, this was the first meal to eat proper food.

“thank you for this food!”

With Hyuk’s cry, we began to eat the food in front of us militantly.
