An Elegant Noble's Guide to Vacations
Chapter 29 "What's Up!"
ah? "Irevan stabbed through the interior of the guild, and no one stopped him.
No matter how accustomed to fighting people, they dare not stop him.This man used to lead a gang of thieves that could make an enemy of a country.Everyone's face changed when they heard the thieves, but he was at the top of the thieves, leading a group of vicious parties who did not regard cruelty as cruelty.
"It's better to say that mastering the weaknesses of the relevant people is one of his goals from the beginning, isn't it?" That is definitely not a status that can be maintained only by strength, and Yi Raven stood at their peak without any effort. .The kind of temperament he exudes, the more people who understand the underground society, the more they can understand the strangeness and majesty in it.
"I just met you yesterday." "...!" With a creak, Irevan put his hand on the table, greeted slowly, and looked down at the person in front of him.The host of the competition sat there, his whole face paled.
It was this man who vigorously presided over yesterday's arm competition, and then waited for an opportunity to let the pre-set character sit on the championship throne.
"Oh, so that's the case, that's what happened." Irevan narrowed his eyes and smiled, as if he was going to drive him to a dead end, he trembled and ran across the man's body.
The reason why the competition was held must be to promote the reputation of this guild.The man who won the championship was a miner who belonged to this guild. As for the man in front of him was chosen as the host, of course it was because he could use enhanced magic.
In other words, this is an act of fraud by the entire guild.
"Is the guy who lost to the big brother okay? It would be too funny if his hand was broken even after strengthening it." Everyone in the office gasped.
Well said, Irevan stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, resembling a snake preying on its prey.
"That's right, do you remember what I said at the beginning?" The purpose of the competition was to promote the guild's reputation, but the miners lost to the adventurers. The other guilds must have laughed at them for disgracing the miners.What would happen if news spread that they cheated with enhanced magic?
This is a competition hosted by this firm, they can't argue with it, there will be no room for them in this magic mine country.
"I said, there's a tunnel I want to go in." "Yes... yes." That's what happened.
For Irevan, there are as many threats as he wants.But it turns out that as long as the preparations are thorough enough, it can be solved with a few words, which is really easy.
He thanked Lieser in his heart for his preparation, and he seemed to be in a good mood when he accepted the pass that was offered with trembling hands.That is the passport used by the guild cadres, as long as you show this certificate, you can enter the tunnel.
"Okay, thank you." Irevan smiled with satisfaction. He played with the pass in his hand and scanned his surroundings.
The eyes of the crowd were varied, ranging from vigilance to fear.While everyone was watching, he thought of Lieser, so he smiled brightly.That smile was not calm at all, and there was a blatant white knife hidden in the friendly smile.
"We will leave after sightseeing, let's get along well now." The implication is: we won't talk about this matter, so you are not allowed to act rashly.
No one in the office dared to say a word, and only Irevan was walking around in the audience.He judged that they agreed, so he walked out of the guild happily under the gazes of everyone.
"(The captain should think this is the best.)" If Irevan is alone, this problem can be solved by violence.But Lieser couldn't do that, so he used his brain.
He can achieve his goal with only a soft voice.He will directly point out the opponent's faults, leaving no room for resentment; grasp the opponent's weaknesses, and teach the opponent not to attack him.Even if the guild made a move, the trio couldn't parry them. The arm competition has proved this point.
If Irevan hadn't volunteered to take care of this matter, Liesel would have come here in person in nine out of ten cases.Everything is pre-prepared for this.
"Sure enough, the captain is the best!" Irevan smiled happily.Let's complete the task assigned, he walked briskly towards the tunnel.
"Captain, captain! I followed your plan to intimidate, no... blackmail... no, it should be said that I threatened them, and then investigated the tunnel!" "So you planned to do this kind of thing?" "No, I think A more peaceful method is used..." Chapter [-] of the third volume has been three days since the three of them completed all the preparations and entered the magic accumulation place.
A lot of things happened along the way, but Liesel and his party continued their sightseeing journey in the Magic Mine Country as usual.Today, Lieser intends to buy some local specialties for Stad and Jagi in the royal capital, so the three of them were led by Lieser on the streets of the Magic Mine Kingdom.
When they visited the Commercial Country last time, they were entrusted to protect them.Shopping for local products on the way to work might seem too casual, so Riesel didn't buy anything to take home.But this time it was just an ordinary sightseeing, and he received a lot of care from the two of them, Lieser really wanted to buy something for them.
"How should I put it, it's even neater than I imagined." "Clean?" "It should be said that there is no dust." This is one of the well-known attractions in the Demon Mine Country, the Cave Shopping Street.Rissel and the others were advancing in the middle of the shopping street, turning into side roads from time to time.
The interior of the cave is illuminated by countless lanterns, and there is almost no smell of dust, nor the dusty air in the cave.The interior is lined with stones, and the walls are carved with patterns and even carved with withered flowers, but it does not damage the appearance of the cave, forming a rough but beautiful street scene. It is worthy of being a country where many craftsmen gather.
"Captain, what do you want to buy?" "I thought consumables would be more suitable..." The ore reflected the light of the lantern, and Lieser looked at this scene without hesitation, and the destination seemed to have been decided.
"But it's rare to give a gift, so I decided to pick something with the characteristics of the Demon Mine Country." To be honest, consumables should be more appropriate, right?Jier thought to himself.
For the two young men, this was the first official gift from Lieser.The two of them admired Lieser so much that they really worried that they would sacrifice that gift for the rest of their lives.
Lieser himself seemed to be enjoying it, so Jie Er didn't say anything, and just watched the changes from the sidelines.
"I found a suitable store when I was shopping before. What do you think of practical things?" "Oh, it feels good!" "As long as you tell them to use it when you give gifts, it won't be left unused." " Ah, this is it." Crossing the busy street, the three of them stepped into a more elegant space.
Most of the roadside shops sell well-known products that are unique to the Demon Mineral Kingdom, such as gems or rare ores, precision magic tools, exquisite interior decorations, etc., and the entire row is full of shops selling high-priced goods.Isn't this the place to buy specialty products?Lieser led the surprised two into one of the shops.
"Welcome." The store is lined with clocks, clocks, clocks.There are everything from grandfather clocks to wall clocks, and most of them are watches, which are arranged in glass cabinets one by one.Which one should I choose?Liesel leaned closer to look at those watches, Jieer and the others looked at him half-abandoned, as if they were used to it.
"This is indeed a practical thing..." "But it's not a local product." No matter here or Lieser's original world, the concept of time is common.
Time is measured in hours, minutes, and seconds, though people are less aware of these units.Most cities have bells that ring once every hour, and residents' daily routines are based on the bells. As for small villages, there are no bells.
Therefore, the clock is not so much a daily necessities as an ornament.Due to the precision, the price of the watch is very high, and of course only a very few people can own it.
"The captain looks like he thinks it's a small thing." "To him, it's a small thing." "I think the captain must have a clock!" "I don't think he's using it." Although Lieser said it was practical Items, but he didn't mean that Jaggy and the others often used clocks.Wearing a watch as an ornament on the body also has the effect of enhancing the image, and it is also very convenient when you need to check the time temporarily, that's all.
"It's also very good as a gift as a souvenir. I think it would be very suitable for the two of them to wear a watch." "Jaji doesn't have a watch?" "There should be some products in his store, but it seems that he doesn't have any for his own use." Watch." Hearing the word "local product", the clerk standing aside tried his best to control the facial muscles that were almost cramp.
This watch is the crystallization of the technology of the Demon Mine Nation. I didn't expect that someone would use it as a safety card for gift giving.However, the clerk judged Lieser to be a nobleman, so he didn't say anything on the surface.
"This kind of gift has to take into account everyone's preferences, which is really troublesome." "As long as you pick it, they will be happy to receive it." "This is also quite embarrassing." Lieser looked at it The glass cabinet, thinking about it seriously, Yi Raven also leaned over to him to look at it.
An assortment of elegant timepieces.The fine gears rotating under the surface, the magic stone inlaid on the watch, and the hands that move with time are all quite exquisite. No wonder there are so many people who like to regard watches as decorations.
"Help Stard choose a simple and slender... ah, a slightly colorful design, it should be interesting to match him?" "After all, he doesn't have much color." Irevan should be referring to his idiosyncratic bar.
"As for Jaggy, I should choose an antique style..." "That guy is so tall, a rougher one is better!" "How about this one?" "Oh, this type is good, I'll match him with that popsicle One with a heavier metal feel might not be bad!" "Then choose the one inlaid with stained glass?" Jie Er leaned near the door, watching the two happily choose a watch.He wasn't going to help pick.
Lieser and Iraven would never compromise at such a time, just look at how Lieser helped a certain viscount wrap gifts, and how Iraven was picky about the equipment.Jie Er doesn't care as long as the things are practical, so he can't help at this time.
"There is no other color for this model? By the way, let's take a look at the new model of this model." "Excuse me, is this driven by a spring or a magic stone? No, I want to see both..." The clerk rushed around. After half a day, the two finally found a satisfactory style.
"Jie Er, what do you think?" "Not bad." Lieser took the watch over and asked him to confirm.The design really fit the image of those two people, Jie Er nodded after seeing it.But to be honest, it doesn't matter which one you choose, seeing Liesel's contented look, it's better to keep this sentence in your heart.
"Then it's decided." Lieser nodded, and ran to ask the clerk to pack it.It seems that it will take some time, Jie Er sighed.
"Aren't you going?" Jie Er asked.
"The important thing is what you receive, and the packaging is casual. But if the captain specially packs it for me, of course it will be different!" Lieser discussed with the shop assistant again. Satisfied.
Up to now, he still shows a bit of belated dissatisfaction, probably because Lieser didn't give him anything. "Anyway, the captain let me join the team." Iraven began to defend himself, and Jieer looked at this scene helplessly.At this moment—"——,——!" There was a sudden commotion outside the store, and the two immediately shut their mouths to check the atmosphere outside.
"This one is wrapped with a ribbon. Well... just use that kind of decorative cord. As for the design of the gift box... well, this one is good." Lieser probably couldn't detect it, his voice was heard clearly in the ears of the two middle.
The clerk had prepared a chair for him at some point, and Lieser was sitting on the chair and picking out the items brought by the clerk.That stance looks like an overly authentic nobleman, Jieer lifted his guard as he thought about it, and Irevan also laughed out loud.
The scale of the commotion was larger than expected, and there was an air of urgency all around, but not yet emotionally charged.It seemed that nothing would happen in a short time. The two leaned near the door of the store, watching Lieser while paying attention to the movement outside.
"Markaide...,..., was attacked..." "The attack was...,... a large group of monsters... here...,...?" The content of the conversation came to the ears intermittently, but the two remained silent.To them, that wasn't enough to bother Lieser about shopping.No matter what the situation, their priorities would not change, so the two calmly waited for Lieser to choose the packaging.
"You can tell me." "You are very particular about picking this kind of thing." "I can still pick a little faster." But they will not stop picking the packaging, it seems that there is nothing wrong with Jie Er's judgment. .
The commercial country is being attacked by a large group of monsters.There are worried crowds around, and everyone is worried whether the monsters will also flock to the Demon Mineral Kingdom.
Even though they wanted to obtain information, Lieser and the others were not interested in the messy rumors, so the group listened to the noise everywhere and walked towards the inn carelessly.
"It turns out that there is also a big invasion on this side." "It doesn't happen often." "Is the reason the same as the maze?" "That's right, the maze is super unwilling to be lonely!" Phenomenon.
A labyrinth that has been neglected for too long will open its doors and let out monsters, as if calling attention to it.Of course, there are also cases of large invasions that are not caused by mazes.
Existing mazes cannot be ignored for a long time, so monster attacks mostly occur when people do not notice the emergence of new mazes.
It's not anyone's fault either.
"Adventurers must participate in the crusade, right?" "But you were still picking local products back then." Jie Er said.
When a monster attack occurs, nearby adventurers will gather in the guild and form a crusade team to send to the local area.
However, at that time, Liser and the others were still picking gifts slowly, and missed the assembly time. The Adventurer's Guild of the Demon Mine Kingdom had already dispatched the adventurers.
"It means Captain, are you going?" "After all, I'm an adventurer." Liesel smiled, and Irevan looked at him with an unacceptable look in his eyes.
Basically, Liesel will not take the initiative to intervene in any disturbance as long as there is no direct harm to himself.If there is a quarrel in the next seat, he will stand on the sidelines, and even if someone is waving a sword in the middle of the road, he will walk past it as if nothing happened.
Some adventurers even heard the rumors of "noble adventurers", lied that they were nobles, and used this name to do whatever they wanted, but even this matter, Liesel just watched with a smile.
"Iraven, do you think it's strange for me to do this?" "A little bit." "Then I'll give you a reason." Even at this juncture, there was still the sound of hammering the hammer from nowhere .
Craftsmen just need to concentrate on what they should do.Liesel smiled amusedly when he heard the knocking sound.
"Because the person the viscount entrusted me to look after, and Jagi's grandfather are there." "Take care? Ah, you mean that gloomy middle-aged handsome man?" "Who did you hear that from?" "Brother said Yes. By the way, the man in the capital is a hearty, middle-aged handsome man." Lieser looked at Jieer.Jie Er frowned slightly, feeling as if he had said something similar.By the way, his term is "a gloomy man with conspicuous looks".
Irevan's description is not entirely wrong, it is really hard to deny, Lieser walked into the door of the hotel while thinking.The innkeeper looked at him with a look of "you are not an adventurer".
"Just to be honest, I'm not interested in ordinary large incursions." A group of people climbed up the slightly steep narrow stairs and walked towards the room.
"Yeah, that's right. But adventurers who want to rob performance will still rush there, full of energy." "It's unlikely to be a hard fight over there." Jieer said.
"You don't have to worry about supplies. This is a very powerful advantage." A metropolis at the level of a commercial country can already become a strong defensive stronghold.
Both the city wall and the command system of Markade are quite stable, and the city itself is unlikely to be destroyed.As long as the gendarme is in charge of defending the city and the adventurers are in charge of hunting down monsters, this chaos should be resolved smoothly.
"In case there are a large number of deep monsters running out, there is no way to deal with them without S or A ranks." "After all, crowd tactics are only useful before the middle ranks." "Even so, the lord can come up with countermeasures." .” The three of them walked into the room and sat down facing each other in their preferred places.Jier sat on the bed, Irevan sat on the floor, and Liesel sat on the chair, lowering his eyes in thought.
A monster attack.Lieser's original world also had this phenomenon. Sometimes, a large monster attack did not happen naturally.Throughout history, there have been two major human-caused invasions.In the records of hundreds or thousands of years, there are only two times, which can be said to be quite rare.
This kind of man-made monster attack cannot be compared with ordinary large attacks. If we only take the previous countermeasures, we may face a situation that is difficult to deal with.It is still uncertain whether a large-scale human-made invasion may also occur on this side. As for the probability that this time it happens to be caused by human beings, it is almost equal to zero.but……
"Captain?" "It's nothing." Lieser smiled slightly, brushing the hair that fell to his cheeks behind his ears.
"No matter how deteriorating the situation is, it is still impossible to formulate countermeasures without intelligence. Don't worry, just wait for a while." "As expected of the leader's speech, I like this kind of statement!" Iraven laughed, and suddenly said The dramatic action snapped with a snap of the fingers.
The sunlight coming in from the window dimmed.Looking at the window, an elite thief wearing a muzzle stepped on the window frame silently, as if he had been standing there from the beginning.That's why Lieser and the others returned to the hostel.
"Just tell me the information you can get at this stage, even if you only know the scale of the attack, it's a blessing." Lieser said.
"...It happened early in the morning. It was on a large scale. Surrounding Markade, the damage was minor." "Even if the monsters only caused slight damage, blocking the flow of goods would be a fatal injury. How about Markade's countermeasures?" "...I haven't heard of Markade Launch an offensive." With a "dong", a small knife stabbed the window frame that the elite thieves were holding on to.
It was self-evident who shot the knife, and looking to the side, the next knife was spinning in Yi Leiwen's hand.
"The job is so casual, who do you think is asking you now?" "Iraven, they only collected information in such a short period of time..." "The captain always spoils them like this. "Irevan shot the second knife in his hand with a look of dissatisfaction.The blade was inserted into the window frame with a "boom", and the sound was surprisingly soft.
The knife didn't nail the elite thieves' palms to the wall solely because of Lieser's presence.But the point of the knife actually cut through a thin layer of skin, so the thief still tasted the nasty pain.
"These guys have been thieves longer than me, and their brains are gone. If I don't reach this level, I won't even be able to communicate." Yi Raven seemed to be just shooting darts, with a dull expression on his face. Liesel couldn't help but smile wryly when he saw the expression.Yi Raven was right, it was indeed his way of dealing with elite thieves that was more correct.
"But I want to continue to listen to the follow-up information. Also, don't destroy the hotel room." "Okay—" Seeing Iraven obediently put away the third knife, Jie Er sighed.Yi Raven always likes to say that he has "become kinder" and "better human", but in fact his essence has not changed at all.
After all, the only person who can correct him is Lieser, and Lieser has a tendency to let things go, so there is no way.
"You just said that the monsters surrounded Makaide? Such a systematic action is not in line with the habits of the monsters." "The monsters that invade generally attack directly in the direction of travel." Jie Er agreed.
"...It is rumored that high-level monsters lead low-level monsters. The deepest level monsters appear." "I see." It is not uncommon for monsters of the same kind to form groups.In addition, the monster attack is a special case. At this time, the monsters will not attack each other, so they can be regarded as an army.
If a group of mobs are attacking, it will not be difficult for us to meet them as long as we gather a considerable number of people.But this time, the monster showed enough intelligence to encircle the city.
"Monsters have a system..." Yi Raven said.
"Sounds really suspicious." Jieer and the others chatted casually, watching Lieser pause for questioning and fell into deep thought.
"Are there any high-ranking guys in this area?" Iraven asked.
"There are a few groups in Tier A. I met them in the commercial country before to find trouble." "The price of being famous!" And you are so conspicuous, easy to be remembered, wearing such black all over, it hurts!" If Liesel was alone in the commercial country today, the two of them would rush over desperately.
But that wasn't the case, Lieser was with them, so this matter had nothing to do with them, it was just one of the topics of small talk.These two people only do what they want to do, and it's impossible to ask them to act for others; but if only one person acts, the fantasy will come true.
"Let's go to Markade." "You go and prepare the horses. Captain, can we go to the east gate?" "No, we start from the north gate. Is it convenient for the elite thieves to come together?" "My people are the captain's people Lah, please go!" "How many people are there?" "Eight." "Why did the elder brother answer!" "Then everyone come with us." In the fast-paced dialogue, the actions to be taken are as follows: Item by item finalized.Once you decide to go, the rest is easy.
Lieser stood up and smiled slightly at the elite thieves.The thief had pulled the knife from the window frame and was looking at it carefully.
"Assemble at the north gate when you're ready." The elite thief nodded and disappeared.
Several breaths also disappeared at the same time, but only Jie Er and Yi Raven noticed.Now that the elites have heard it, it won't take long for them to assemble.
"What else do you care about?" "There are tricky monsters haunting over there, isn't it a pity that you can't strike without a knife?" "Nonsense." Seeing Lieser's teasing smile, Jie Er frowned displeased .
He was sure Lieser wasn't lying, but there were more reasons than that.Since Liesel has something he wants to do, it doesn't matter, he sighed.
The three of them finished packing and left the room.You have to walk a long way to get to the north gate.
"Ah, I forgot to buy sweets! Captain, can I buy something along the way?" "Yes, I will also buy some souvenirs for Grandpa Insay. I wonder if he will be happy when he receives something?" "Just buy something that ordinary old men like." No one present urged them to go, so they went quickly.
Panting, the boy ran against the flow of the crowd.
The crowd screamed and fled into the city gate.The boy was kicked away by the adults, suffered countless curses, was covered in injuries, and still struggled to spur his feet to run wildly.The soft little hand that he had held so firmly not so long ago was gone—for so trivial a reason, but it meant a lot to him.
His younger sister must still be outside the city gate.Remembering his sister's cute smile, the boy rushed out of the gate he had just passed through.His mother's cries and the gendarme's yelling to stop entered his ears, and the boy ran out of the city with a wide view regardless of everything.
"Brother...!" "Nina!" The younger sister was lying on the ground, and the monster was already approaching behind her.
I don't know if it was knocked to the ground just now, my sister cried and said that her foot hurt.The boy hugged her petite body and had to escape from here quickly.He stood up with trembling feet, raised his head, and saw the scene in front of him, he gritted his teeth.
The city gate was slowly closed, and the scene inside the city wall became narrower and narrower every second. The distraught mother ignored the gendarmes to stop her, and stretched out her hand towards the boy frantically.
The mighty monster is approaching, it is impossible to open the city gate to save the two children.
"...Damn..." The adults inside the door shouted irresponsibly, "Hurry up", the boy swallowed the swear words that rushed to his lips, and ran wildly.
The gap in the door became narrower and narrower, and the snorting sound of the monster was approaching behind him. Everything forced him to run quickly. The boy whipped his trembling legs and moved his painful feet desperately.
It's too late—it's unbelievable that his immature mind could calculate this conclusion.
Look at your running speed, and then look at the distance from the city gate.In order to help the boy, countless arrows were shot from the city wall, but it was too late, and the monster did not stop approaching.My feet hurt so bad I can't move.The boy acted, it was his instinct to protect his sister.
He put down the little girl in his arms and pushed her forward, like when their mother came to pick them up in the evening when they were playing outside—the boy nudged his sister's back, a little harder than his mother. "Go." He couldn't breathe, and his throat couldn't make a sound.
"Brother...?" The little girl ran towards her mother as usual, her petite back was endearing.
Poor thing, her feet must be hurting.The younger sister ran into her mother's arms with a limp, and looked back in her mother's arms, with a blank expression as if she didn't understand anything, and the boy laughed when she saw her immature appearance.
The gate of the city was gradually closed, and the adults could no longer get through the crack of the door, it was too late.The boy couldn't move a step on his aching feet, and he even felt a little relieved at the thought that he would no longer have to force himself to move forward.
"———!" The crying mother hugged the young sister in her arms. Through the gap in the city gate, they only saw the boy's satisfied smile and the monster pounced on the boy, opening their eyes wide open. The man's bloody mouth is ready to bite the prey.
"Jie Er." A steady voice fell, and there was a piercing crackling sound.At the moment when the city gate was about to cut off the outside world, the half-closed stone gate suddenly stood still.
There was a man who blocked the city gate that ten people could not push together, and everyone looked at the domineering man in black.
The crowd was stunned, and the audience fell into silence for a moment. The ones who knew the situation most should be the boy's mother and sister.They stared intently at the crack of the door that was about to close, and almost saw the tragedy happen with their own eyes, so they witnessed the moment when the monster approaching behind the boy was thrown away.
"Move quickly. They retreat temporarily out of caution, and they are about to launch an offensive again soon." "I know." The man in black replied.
"Iraven, don't let monsters invade." "Okay!" Everyone held their breath when they saw the figure appearing at this moment.
A man dressed in black opened the huge stone gate with one hand, and a man with bright red hair drew his sword to restrain the military police who came to stop him. Then, a man with a noble temperament walked out of the city gate leisurely.
The gate of the city was opened, and monsters were raging in the field. The people who were fleeing in all directions were defenseless, but they looked blankly at the three people who appeared.
The aura of those three people was enough to take away people's judgment in this situation, and the crowd could only stare blankly at the figure approaching the boy from behind.
Illustration p004 "Huh..." The boy who stood there dumbfounded also raised his head to stare blankly at the figure approaching him.He forgot the sense of security not long ago, and also forgot the fear that gradually surged in his heart. The man's steady smile made him fascinated.
He seemed to hear the low growl of a monster nearby, but he couldn't think about it.A steady smile came to him and stretched out his hands towards him.The boy was powerless to resist, and was hugged by the man, his movements were gentle enough to confuse him.
The man hugged him, stroked his hair with his palms, and patted his back, awakening the trembling that the boy had unconsciously forgotten.He had no idea what he was afraid of.
"...Woo..." The idea of soiling the big brother's clean clothes flashed across his mind for a moment, but the boy couldn't hold back his tears, his throat trembling, and he buried his face into that person's shoulder as if he could resist something , tightly grasping the cloth in front of him.
"You are more right than anyone else." A gentle voice whispered in the boy's ear.
"Trust me." The boy's tense body relaxed, and he slowly raised his face from the man's shoulders.Looking around, the monsters attacking together occupied his vision, but for some reason, he was no longer afraid.
"I will respect you more than anyone else in this world." A whirlwind blew up, and the biting monster was torn apart by the gust of wind, spattering blood.The boy was in the center of the whirlwind, feeling only a slight breeze, not noticing for a moment that it was magic.
"So, don't be afraid." The man with a calm demeanor walked towards the city gate calmly.
The boy finally understood why he was afraid.Because he was abandoned by everyone, he wholeheartedly thought that the cold stone gate was the choice of everyone, the choice of the world.
But now, the boy knew that these were not worth mentioning, because the man in front of him affirmed his actions.
"However, the real protection is to protect until the last moment. If you die, my sister will become an unfortunate child." "I don't want to be like this." "That's right. So, you have to become stronger .” That wasn’t an order, but a soft voice like spring wind turning into rain.
This sentence quietly fell into the boy's heart, and he thought it made sense.Although he didn't know how to do it, it was enough to become an opportunity for him to make up his mind to become stronger.
The boy nodded slightly.After hearing this, the eldest brother stroked his back appreciatively. He was not embarrassed at all, but just felt so proud.
"Close the door." "I'm sorry to trouble you." As soon as the two walked past the man in black, they let go of the hand blocking the gate, and the stone gate slowly closed.
The blown monster rushed towards here suddenly, but it was too late.Across the warm shoulder, the boy watched this scene, this time, the gradually closing door no longer made him despair.
The city gate closed firmly with a heavy sound, and at the same time, there was a sound of small footsteps running towards this side.The boy smiled and turned his head to look in the direction of the footsteps.
With a crisp "snap", a loud slap hit the soft little cheek in his arms.Liesel blinked at this scene, then smiled wryly.He had no such experience, but maternal love was sometimes strong enough to sting the skin.
The mother cried loudly in front of his eyes, and the little girl in her arms smiled innocently and stretched out her little hand to her brother, Lieser then put the boy down.The boy looked up at him, Liesel reached out and stroked his head, covering the boy's big watery eyes with his palm.Then, he looked at the boy's mother, and it seemed that her relief, anger and joy would last a while longer.
Perhaps noticing his gaze, the mother bowed deeply to Lieser with eyes swollen from crying.Liesel shook his head.
"If this child hadn't taken action, I was going to give up saving my little sister. I should be scolded for messing around, but please don't forget to be proud of him." "Okay, okay...!" The mother's voice trembled, repeatedly Thank you very much.Liser smiled slightly, and walked towards Jieer and the others, avoiding the haunting eyes of the crowd.The matter ended safely, and the military police finally began to guide the people inside the city gate.
It seems that this gate is closed for the second time.When the monsters invaded, Makaide immediately closed all the city gates; however, many people came to the commercial country without knowing it, and were trapped outside the city gates because they had no supplies and could not return immediately.After the military police established a support system, they gathered these people to the west gate to cover them from entering the city.
Liser and the others didn't come in through the city gate, but they happened to meet the opening time.
"Huh?" He looked at Jier and Irevan, and found several gendarmes surrounding them.
Was it the gendarmes who came to trouble them?Both of them pretended not to see it as if it was troublesome.Iraven actually managed to hold back his hand, Lieser thought about it and took a closer look, it turned out that Jie Er calmly held down Iraven's sword hilt, preventing the worst from happening.
Irevan's dissatisfied expression turned out to be like this
No matter how accustomed to fighting people, they dare not stop him.This man used to lead a gang of thieves that could make an enemy of a country.Everyone's face changed when they heard the thieves, but he was at the top of the thieves, leading a group of vicious parties who did not regard cruelty as cruelty.
"It's better to say that mastering the weaknesses of the relevant people is one of his goals from the beginning, isn't it?" That is definitely not a status that can be maintained only by strength, and Yi Raven stood at their peak without any effort. .The kind of temperament he exudes, the more people who understand the underground society, the more they can understand the strangeness and majesty in it.
"I just met you yesterday." "...!" With a creak, Irevan put his hand on the table, greeted slowly, and looked down at the person in front of him.The host of the competition sat there, his whole face paled.
It was this man who vigorously presided over yesterday's arm competition, and then waited for an opportunity to let the pre-set character sit on the championship throne.
"Oh, so that's the case, that's what happened." Irevan narrowed his eyes and smiled, as if he was going to drive him to a dead end, he trembled and ran across the man's body.
The reason why the competition was held must be to promote the reputation of this guild.The man who won the championship was a miner who belonged to this guild. As for the man in front of him was chosen as the host, of course it was because he could use enhanced magic.
In other words, this is an act of fraud by the entire guild.
"Is the guy who lost to the big brother okay? It would be too funny if his hand was broken even after strengthening it." Everyone in the office gasped.
Well said, Irevan stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, resembling a snake preying on its prey.
"That's right, do you remember what I said at the beginning?" The purpose of the competition was to promote the guild's reputation, but the miners lost to the adventurers. The other guilds must have laughed at them for disgracing the miners.What would happen if news spread that they cheated with enhanced magic?
This is a competition hosted by this firm, they can't argue with it, there will be no room for them in this magic mine country.
"I said, there's a tunnel I want to go in." "Yes... yes." That's what happened.
For Irevan, there are as many threats as he wants.But it turns out that as long as the preparations are thorough enough, it can be solved with a few words, which is really easy.
He thanked Lieser in his heart for his preparation, and he seemed to be in a good mood when he accepted the pass that was offered with trembling hands.That is the passport used by the guild cadres, as long as you show this certificate, you can enter the tunnel.
"Okay, thank you." Irevan smiled with satisfaction. He played with the pass in his hand and scanned his surroundings.
The eyes of the crowd were varied, ranging from vigilance to fear.While everyone was watching, he thought of Lieser, so he smiled brightly.That smile was not calm at all, and there was a blatant white knife hidden in the friendly smile.
"We will leave after sightseeing, let's get along well now." The implication is: we won't talk about this matter, so you are not allowed to act rashly.
No one in the office dared to say a word, and only Irevan was walking around in the audience.He judged that they agreed, so he walked out of the guild happily under the gazes of everyone.
"(The captain should think this is the best.)" If Irevan is alone, this problem can be solved by violence.But Lieser couldn't do that, so he used his brain.
He can achieve his goal with only a soft voice.He will directly point out the opponent's faults, leaving no room for resentment; grasp the opponent's weaknesses, and teach the opponent not to attack him.Even if the guild made a move, the trio couldn't parry them. The arm competition has proved this point.
If Irevan hadn't volunteered to take care of this matter, Liesel would have come here in person in nine out of ten cases.Everything is pre-prepared for this.
"Sure enough, the captain is the best!" Irevan smiled happily.Let's complete the task assigned, he walked briskly towards the tunnel.
"Captain, captain! I followed your plan to intimidate, no... blackmail... no, it should be said that I threatened them, and then investigated the tunnel!" "So you planned to do this kind of thing?" "No, I think A more peaceful method is used..." Chapter [-] of the third volume has been three days since the three of them completed all the preparations and entered the magic accumulation place.
A lot of things happened along the way, but Liesel and his party continued their sightseeing journey in the Magic Mine Country as usual.Today, Lieser intends to buy some local specialties for Stad and Jagi in the royal capital, so the three of them were led by Lieser on the streets of the Magic Mine Kingdom.
When they visited the Commercial Country last time, they were entrusted to protect them.Shopping for local products on the way to work might seem too casual, so Riesel didn't buy anything to take home.But this time it was just an ordinary sightseeing, and he received a lot of care from the two of them, Lieser really wanted to buy something for them.
"How should I put it, it's even neater than I imagined." "Clean?" "It should be said that there is no dust." This is one of the well-known attractions in the Demon Mine Country, the Cave Shopping Street.Rissel and the others were advancing in the middle of the shopping street, turning into side roads from time to time.
The interior of the cave is illuminated by countless lanterns, and there is almost no smell of dust, nor the dusty air in the cave.The interior is lined with stones, and the walls are carved with patterns and even carved with withered flowers, but it does not damage the appearance of the cave, forming a rough but beautiful street scene. It is worthy of being a country where many craftsmen gather.
"Captain, what do you want to buy?" "I thought consumables would be more suitable..." The ore reflected the light of the lantern, and Lieser looked at this scene without hesitation, and the destination seemed to have been decided.
"But it's rare to give a gift, so I decided to pick something with the characteristics of the Demon Mine Country." To be honest, consumables should be more appropriate, right?Jier thought to himself.
For the two young men, this was the first official gift from Lieser.The two of them admired Lieser so much that they really worried that they would sacrifice that gift for the rest of their lives.
Lieser himself seemed to be enjoying it, so Jie Er didn't say anything, and just watched the changes from the sidelines.
"I found a suitable store when I was shopping before. What do you think of practical things?" "Oh, it feels good!" "As long as you tell them to use it when you give gifts, it won't be left unused." " Ah, this is it." Crossing the busy street, the three of them stepped into a more elegant space.
Most of the roadside shops sell well-known products that are unique to the Demon Mineral Kingdom, such as gems or rare ores, precision magic tools, exquisite interior decorations, etc., and the entire row is full of shops selling high-priced goods.Isn't this the place to buy specialty products?Lieser led the surprised two into one of the shops.
"Welcome." The store is lined with clocks, clocks, clocks.There are everything from grandfather clocks to wall clocks, and most of them are watches, which are arranged in glass cabinets one by one.Which one should I choose?Liesel leaned closer to look at those watches, Jieer and the others looked at him half-abandoned, as if they were used to it.
"This is indeed a practical thing..." "But it's not a local product." No matter here or Lieser's original world, the concept of time is common.
Time is measured in hours, minutes, and seconds, though people are less aware of these units.Most cities have bells that ring once every hour, and residents' daily routines are based on the bells. As for small villages, there are no bells.
Therefore, the clock is not so much a daily necessities as an ornament.Due to the precision, the price of the watch is very high, and of course only a very few people can own it.
"The captain looks like he thinks it's a small thing." "To him, it's a small thing." "I think the captain must have a clock!" "I don't think he's using it." Although Lieser said it was practical Items, but he didn't mean that Jaggy and the others often used clocks.Wearing a watch as an ornament on the body also has the effect of enhancing the image, and it is also very convenient when you need to check the time temporarily, that's all.
"It's also very good as a gift as a souvenir. I think it would be very suitable for the two of them to wear a watch." "Jaji doesn't have a watch?" "There should be some products in his store, but it seems that he doesn't have any for his own use." Watch." Hearing the word "local product", the clerk standing aside tried his best to control the facial muscles that were almost cramp.
This watch is the crystallization of the technology of the Demon Mine Nation. I didn't expect that someone would use it as a safety card for gift giving.However, the clerk judged Lieser to be a nobleman, so he didn't say anything on the surface.
"This kind of gift has to take into account everyone's preferences, which is really troublesome." "As long as you pick it, they will be happy to receive it." "This is also quite embarrassing." Lieser looked at it The glass cabinet, thinking about it seriously, Yi Raven also leaned over to him to look at it.
An assortment of elegant timepieces.The fine gears rotating under the surface, the magic stone inlaid on the watch, and the hands that move with time are all quite exquisite. No wonder there are so many people who like to regard watches as decorations.
"Help Stard choose a simple and slender... ah, a slightly colorful design, it should be interesting to match him?" "After all, he doesn't have much color." Irevan should be referring to his idiosyncratic bar.
"As for Jaggy, I should choose an antique style..." "That guy is so tall, a rougher one is better!" "How about this one?" "Oh, this type is good, I'll match him with that popsicle One with a heavier metal feel might not be bad!" "Then choose the one inlaid with stained glass?" Jie Er leaned near the door, watching the two happily choose a watch.He wasn't going to help pick.
Lieser and Iraven would never compromise at such a time, just look at how Lieser helped a certain viscount wrap gifts, and how Iraven was picky about the equipment.Jie Er doesn't care as long as the things are practical, so he can't help at this time.
"There is no other color for this model? By the way, let's take a look at the new model of this model." "Excuse me, is this driven by a spring or a magic stone? No, I want to see both..." The clerk rushed around. After half a day, the two finally found a satisfactory style.
"Jie Er, what do you think?" "Not bad." Lieser took the watch over and asked him to confirm.The design really fit the image of those two people, Jie Er nodded after seeing it.But to be honest, it doesn't matter which one you choose, seeing Liesel's contented look, it's better to keep this sentence in your heart.
"Then it's decided." Lieser nodded, and ran to ask the clerk to pack it.It seems that it will take some time, Jie Er sighed.
"Aren't you going?" Jie Er asked.
"The important thing is what you receive, and the packaging is casual. But if the captain specially packs it for me, of course it will be different!" Lieser discussed with the shop assistant again. Satisfied.
Up to now, he still shows a bit of belated dissatisfaction, probably because Lieser didn't give him anything. "Anyway, the captain let me join the team." Iraven began to defend himself, and Jieer looked at this scene helplessly.At this moment—"——,——!" There was a sudden commotion outside the store, and the two immediately shut their mouths to check the atmosphere outside.
"This one is wrapped with a ribbon. Well... just use that kind of decorative cord. As for the design of the gift box... well, this one is good." Lieser probably couldn't detect it, his voice was heard clearly in the ears of the two middle.
The clerk had prepared a chair for him at some point, and Lieser was sitting on the chair and picking out the items brought by the clerk.That stance looks like an overly authentic nobleman, Jieer lifted his guard as he thought about it, and Irevan also laughed out loud.
The scale of the commotion was larger than expected, and there was an air of urgency all around, but not yet emotionally charged.It seemed that nothing would happen in a short time. The two leaned near the door of the store, watching Lieser while paying attention to the movement outside.
"Markaide...,..., was attacked..." "The attack was...,... a large group of monsters... here...,...?" The content of the conversation came to the ears intermittently, but the two remained silent.To them, that wasn't enough to bother Lieser about shopping.No matter what the situation, their priorities would not change, so the two calmly waited for Lieser to choose the packaging.
"You can tell me." "You are very particular about picking this kind of thing." "I can still pick a little faster." But they will not stop picking the packaging, it seems that there is nothing wrong with Jie Er's judgment. .
The commercial country is being attacked by a large group of monsters.There are worried crowds around, and everyone is worried whether the monsters will also flock to the Demon Mineral Kingdom.
Even though they wanted to obtain information, Lieser and the others were not interested in the messy rumors, so the group listened to the noise everywhere and walked towards the inn carelessly.
"It turns out that there is also a big invasion on this side." "It doesn't happen often." "Is the reason the same as the maze?" "That's right, the maze is super unwilling to be lonely!" Phenomenon.
A labyrinth that has been neglected for too long will open its doors and let out monsters, as if calling attention to it.Of course, there are also cases of large invasions that are not caused by mazes.
Existing mazes cannot be ignored for a long time, so monster attacks mostly occur when people do not notice the emergence of new mazes.
It's not anyone's fault either.
"Adventurers must participate in the crusade, right?" "But you were still picking local products back then." Jie Er said.
When a monster attack occurs, nearby adventurers will gather in the guild and form a crusade team to send to the local area.
However, at that time, Liser and the others were still picking gifts slowly, and missed the assembly time. The Adventurer's Guild of the Demon Mine Kingdom had already dispatched the adventurers.
"It means Captain, are you going?" "After all, I'm an adventurer." Liesel smiled, and Irevan looked at him with an unacceptable look in his eyes.
Basically, Liesel will not take the initiative to intervene in any disturbance as long as there is no direct harm to himself.If there is a quarrel in the next seat, he will stand on the sidelines, and even if someone is waving a sword in the middle of the road, he will walk past it as if nothing happened.
Some adventurers even heard the rumors of "noble adventurers", lied that they were nobles, and used this name to do whatever they wanted, but even this matter, Liesel just watched with a smile.
"Iraven, do you think it's strange for me to do this?" "A little bit." "Then I'll give you a reason." Even at this juncture, there was still the sound of hammering the hammer from nowhere .
Craftsmen just need to concentrate on what they should do.Liesel smiled amusedly when he heard the knocking sound.
"Because the person the viscount entrusted me to look after, and Jagi's grandfather are there." "Take care? Ah, you mean that gloomy middle-aged handsome man?" "Who did you hear that from?" "Brother said Yes. By the way, the man in the capital is a hearty, middle-aged handsome man." Lieser looked at Jieer.Jie Er frowned slightly, feeling as if he had said something similar.By the way, his term is "a gloomy man with conspicuous looks".
Irevan's description is not entirely wrong, it is really hard to deny, Lieser walked into the door of the hotel while thinking.The innkeeper looked at him with a look of "you are not an adventurer".
"Just to be honest, I'm not interested in ordinary large incursions." A group of people climbed up the slightly steep narrow stairs and walked towards the room.
"Yeah, that's right. But adventurers who want to rob performance will still rush there, full of energy." "It's unlikely to be a hard fight over there." Jieer said.
"You don't have to worry about supplies. This is a very powerful advantage." A metropolis at the level of a commercial country can already become a strong defensive stronghold.
Both the city wall and the command system of Markade are quite stable, and the city itself is unlikely to be destroyed.As long as the gendarme is in charge of defending the city and the adventurers are in charge of hunting down monsters, this chaos should be resolved smoothly.
"In case there are a large number of deep monsters running out, there is no way to deal with them without S or A ranks." "After all, crowd tactics are only useful before the middle ranks." "Even so, the lord can come up with countermeasures." .” The three of them walked into the room and sat down facing each other in their preferred places.Jier sat on the bed, Irevan sat on the floor, and Liesel sat on the chair, lowering his eyes in thought.
A monster attack.Lieser's original world also had this phenomenon. Sometimes, a large monster attack did not happen naturally.Throughout history, there have been two major human-caused invasions.In the records of hundreds or thousands of years, there are only two times, which can be said to be quite rare.
This kind of man-made monster attack cannot be compared with ordinary large attacks. If we only take the previous countermeasures, we may face a situation that is difficult to deal with.It is still uncertain whether a large-scale human-made invasion may also occur on this side. As for the probability that this time it happens to be caused by human beings, it is almost equal to zero.but……
"Captain?" "It's nothing." Lieser smiled slightly, brushing the hair that fell to his cheeks behind his ears.
"No matter how deteriorating the situation is, it is still impossible to formulate countermeasures without intelligence. Don't worry, just wait for a while." "As expected of the leader's speech, I like this kind of statement!" Iraven laughed, and suddenly said The dramatic action snapped with a snap of the fingers.
The sunlight coming in from the window dimmed.Looking at the window, an elite thief wearing a muzzle stepped on the window frame silently, as if he had been standing there from the beginning.That's why Lieser and the others returned to the hostel.
"Just tell me the information you can get at this stage, even if you only know the scale of the attack, it's a blessing." Lieser said.
"...It happened early in the morning. It was on a large scale. Surrounding Markade, the damage was minor." "Even if the monsters only caused slight damage, blocking the flow of goods would be a fatal injury. How about Markade's countermeasures?" "...I haven't heard of Markade Launch an offensive." With a "dong", a small knife stabbed the window frame that the elite thieves were holding on to.
It was self-evident who shot the knife, and looking to the side, the next knife was spinning in Yi Leiwen's hand.
"The job is so casual, who do you think is asking you now?" "Iraven, they only collected information in such a short period of time..." "The captain always spoils them like this. "Irevan shot the second knife in his hand with a look of dissatisfaction.The blade was inserted into the window frame with a "boom", and the sound was surprisingly soft.
The knife didn't nail the elite thieves' palms to the wall solely because of Lieser's presence.But the point of the knife actually cut through a thin layer of skin, so the thief still tasted the nasty pain.
"These guys have been thieves longer than me, and their brains are gone. If I don't reach this level, I won't even be able to communicate." Yi Raven seemed to be just shooting darts, with a dull expression on his face. Liesel couldn't help but smile wryly when he saw the expression.Yi Raven was right, it was indeed his way of dealing with elite thieves that was more correct.
"But I want to continue to listen to the follow-up information. Also, don't destroy the hotel room." "Okay—" Seeing Iraven obediently put away the third knife, Jie Er sighed.Yi Raven always likes to say that he has "become kinder" and "better human", but in fact his essence has not changed at all.
After all, the only person who can correct him is Lieser, and Lieser has a tendency to let things go, so there is no way.
"You just said that the monsters surrounded Makaide? Such a systematic action is not in line with the habits of the monsters." "The monsters that invade generally attack directly in the direction of travel." Jie Er agreed.
"...It is rumored that high-level monsters lead low-level monsters. The deepest level monsters appear." "I see." It is not uncommon for monsters of the same kind to form groups.In addition, the monster attack is a special case. At this time, the monsters will not attack each other, so they can be regarded as an army.
If a group of mobs are attacking, it will not be difficult for us to meet them as long as we gather a considerable number of people.But this time, the monster showed enough intelligence to encircle the city.
"Monsters have a system..." Yi Raven said.
"Sounds really suspicious." Jieer and the others chatted casually, watching Lieser pause for questioning and fell into deep thought.
"Are there any high-ranking guys in this area?" Iraven asked.
"There are a few groups in Tier A. I met them in the commercial country before to find trouble." "The price of being famous!" And you are so conspicuous, easy to be remembered, wearing such black all over, it hurts!" If Liesel was alone in the commercial country today, the two of them would rush over desperately.
But that wasn't the case, Lieser was with them, so this matter had nothing to do with them, it was just one of the topics of small talk.These two people only do what they want to do, and it's impossible to ask them to act for others; but if only one person acts, the fantasy will come true.
"Let's go to Markade." "You go and prepare the horses. Captain, can we go to the east gate?" "No, we start from the north gate. Is it convenient for the elite thieves to come together?" "My people are the captain's people Lah, please go!" "How many people are there?" "Eight." "Why did the elder brother answer!" "Then everyone come with us." In the fast-paced dialogue, the actions to be taken are as follows: Item by item finalized.Once you decide to go, the rest is easy.
Lieser stood up and smiled slightly at the elite thieves.The thief had pulled the knife from the window frame and was looking at it carefully.
"Assemble at the north gate when you're ready." The elite thief nodded and disappeared.
Several breaths also disappeared at the same time, but only Jie Er and Yi Raven noticed.Now that the elites have heard it, it won't take long for them to assemble.
"What else do you care about?" "There are tricky monsters haunting over there, isn't it a pity that you can't strike without a knife?" "Nonsense." Seeing Lieser's teasing smile, Jie Er frowned displeased .
He was sure Lieser wasn't lying, but there were more reasons than that.Since Liesel has something he wants to do, it doesn't matter, he sighed.
The three of them finished packing and left the room.You have to walk a long way to get to the north gate.
"Ah, I forgot to buy sweets! Captain, can I buy something along the way?" "Yes, I will also buy some souvenirs for Grandpa Insay. I wonder if he will be happy when he receives something?" "Just buy something that ordinary old men like." No one present urged them to go, so they went quickly.
Panting, the boy ran against the flow of the crowd.
The crowd screamed and fled into the city gate.The boy was kicked away by the adults, suffered countless curses, was covered in injuries, and still struggled to spur his feet to run wildly.The soft little hand that he had held so firmly not so long ago was gone—for so trivial a reason, but it meant a lot to him.
His younger sister must still be outside the city gate.Remembering his sister's cute smile, the boy rushed out of the gate he had just passed through.His mother's cries and the gendarme's yelling to stop entered his ears, and the boy ran out of the city with a wide view regardless of everything.
"Brother...!" "Nina!" The younger sister was lying on the ground, and the monster was already approaching behind her.
I don't know if it was knocked to the ground just now, my sister cried and said that her foot hurt.The boy hugged her petite body and had to escape from here quickly.He stood up with trembling feet, raised his head, and saw the scene in front of him, he gritted his teeth.
The city gate was slowly closed, and the scene inside the city wall became narrower and narrower every second. The distraught mother ignored the gendarmes to stop her, and stretched out her hand towards the boy frantically.
The mighty monster is approaching, it is impossible to open the city gate to save the two children.
"...Damn..." The adults inside the door shouted irresponsibly, "Hurry up", the boy swallowed the swear words that rushed to his lips, and ran wildly.
The gap in the door became narrower and narrower, and the snorting sound of the monster was approaching behind him. Everything forced him to run quickly. The boy whipped his trembling legs and moved his painful feet desperately.
It's too late—it's unbelievable that his immature mind could calculate this conclusion.
Look at your running speed, and then look at the distance from the city gate.In order to help the boy, countless arrows were shot from the city wall, but it was too late, and the monster did not stop approaching.My feet hurt so bad I can't move.The boy acted, it was his instinct to protect his sister.
He put down the little girl in his arms and pushed her forward, like when their mother came to pick them up in the evening when they were playing outside—the boy nudged his sister's back, a little harder than his mother. "Go." He couldn't breathe, and his throat couldn't make a sound.
"Brother...?" The little girl ran towards her mother as usual, her petite back was endearing.
Poor thing, her feet must be hurting.The younger sister ran into her mother's arms with a limp, and looked back in her mother's arms, with a blank expression as if she didn't understand anything, and the boy laughed when she saw her immature appearance.
The gate of the city was gradually closed, and the adults could no longer get through the crack of the door, it was too late.The boy couldn't move a step on his aching feet, and he even felt a little relieved at the thought that he would no longer have to force himself to move forward.
"———!" The crying mother hugged the young sister in her arms. Through the gap in the city gate, they only saw the boy's satisfied smile and the monster pounced on the boy, opening their eyes wide open. The man's bloody mouth is ready to bite the prey.
"Jie Er." A steady voice fell, and there was a piercing crackling sound.At the moment when the city gate was about to cut off the outside world, the half-closed stone gate suddenly stood still.
There was a man who blocked the city gate that ten people could not push together, and everyone looked at the domineering man in black.
The crowd was stunned, and the audience fell into silence for a moment. The ones who knew the situation most should be the boy's mother and sister.They stared intently at the crack of the door that was about to close, and almost saw the tragedy happen with their own eyes, so they witnessed the moment when the monster approaching behind the boy was thrown away.
"Move quickly. They retreat temporarily out of caution, and they are about to launch an offensive again soon." "I know." The man in black replied.
"Iraven, don't let monsters invade." "Okay!" Everyone held their breath when they saw the figure appearing at this moment.
A man dressed in black opened the huge stone gate with one hand, and a man with bright red hair drew his sword to restrain the military police who came to stop him. Then, a man with a noble temperament walked out of the city gate leisurely.
The gate of the city was opened, and monsters were raging in the field. The people who were fleeing in all directions were defenseless, but they looked blankly at the three people who appeared.
The aura of those three people was enough to take away people's judgment in this situation, and the crowd could only stare blankly at the figure approaching the boy from behind.
Illustration p004 "Huh..." The boy who stood there dumbfounded also raised his head to stare blankly at the figure approaching him.He forgot the sense of security not long ago, and also forgot the fear that gradually surged in his heart. The man's steady smile made him fascinated.
He seemed to hear the low growl of a monster nearby, but he couldn't think about it.A steady smile came to him and stretched out his hands towards him.The boy was powerless to resist, and was hugged by the man, his movements were gentle enough to confuse him.
The man hugged him, stroked his hair with his palms, and patted his back, awakening the trembling that the boy had unconsciously forgotten.He had no idea what he was afraid of.
"...Woo..." The idea of soiling the big brother's clean clothes flashed across his mind for a moment, but the boy couldn't hold back his tears, his throat trembling, and he buried his face into that person's shoulder as if he could resist something , tightly grasping the cloth in front of him.
"You are more right than anyone else." A gentle voice whispered in the boy's ear.
"Trust me." The boy's tense body relaxed, and he slowly raised his face from the man's shoulders.Looking around, the monsters attacking together occupied his vision, but for some reason, he was no longer afraid.
"I will respect you more than anyone else in this world." A whirlwind blew up, and the biting monster was torn apart by the gust of wind, spattering blood.The boy was in the center of the whirlwind, feeling only a slight breeze, not noticing for a moment that it was magic.
"So, don't be afraid." The man with a calm demeanor walked towards the city gate calmly.
The boy finally understood why he was afraid.Because he was abandoned by everyone, he wholeheartedly thought that the cold stone gate was the choice of everyone, the choice of the world.
But now, the boy knew that these were not worth mentioning, because the man in front of him affirmed his actions.
"However, the real protection is to protect until the last moment. If you die, my sister will become an unfortunate child." "I don't want to be like this." "That's right. So, you have to become stronger .” That wasn’t an order, but a soft voice like spring wind turning into rain.
This sentence quietly fell into the boy's heart, and he thought it made sense.Although he didn't know how to do it, it was enough to become an opportunity for him to make up his mind to become stronger.
The boy nodded slightly.After hearing this, the eldest brother stroked his back appreciatively. He was not embarrassed at all, but just felt so proud.
"Close the door." "I'm sorry to trouble you." As soon as the two walked past the man in black, they let go of the hand blocking the gate, and the stone gate slowly closed.
The blown monster rushed towards here suddenly, but it was too late.Across the warm shoulder, the boy watched this scene, this time, the gradually closing door no longer made him despair.
The city gate closed firmly with a heavy sound, and at the same time, there was a sound of small footsteps running towards this side.The boy smiled and turned his head to look in the direction of the footsteps.
With a crisp "snap", a loud slap hit the soft little cheek in his arms.Liesel blinked at this scene, then smiled wryly.He had no such experience, but maternal love was sometimes strong enough to sting the skin.
The mother cried loudly in front of his eyes, and the little girl in her arms smiled innocently and stretched out her little hand to her brother, Lieser then put the boy down.The boy looked up at him, Liesel reached out and stroked his head, covering the boy's big watery eyes with his palm.Then, he looked at the boy's mother, and it seemed that her relief, anger and joy would last a while longer.
Perhaps noticing his gaze, the mother bowed deeply to Lieser with eyes swollen from crying.Liesel shook his head.
"If this child hadn't taken action, I was going to give up saving my little sister. I should be scolded for messing around, but please don't forget to be proud of him." "Okay, okay...!" The mother's voice trembled, repeatedly Thank you very much.Liser smiled slightly, and walked towards Jieer and the others, avoiding the haunting eyes of the crowd.The matter ended safely, and the military police finally began to guide the people inside the city gate.
It seems that this gate is closed for the second time.When the monsters invaded, Makaide immediately closed all the city gates; however, many people came to the commercial country without knowing it, and were trapped outside the city gates because they had no supplies and could not return immediately.After the military police established a support system, they gathered these people to the west gate to cover them from entering the city.
Liser and the others didn't come in through the city gate, but they happened to meet the opening time.
"Huh?" He looked at Jier and Irevan, and found several gendarmes surrounding them.
Was it the gendarmes who came to trouble them?Both of them pretended not to see it as if it was troublesome.Iraven actually managed to hold back his hand, Lieser thought about it and took a closer look, it turned out that Jie Er calmly held down Iraven's sword hilt, preventing the worst from happening.
