Chapter 190
Episode 190:
I refused.
Daejeon Temple was more persistent than expected.
I was perplexed because I felt that he was determined to take me with him no matter what.
I have no intention of following him.
“It is impossible to become a warrior and pass it by without doing anything.”
“I said I was fine, didn’t I?”
Even while I was cuddling with him, I was at a loss as to why I was doing this.
The person in question says he doesn’t like it, so why are they insisting so hard?
“This is not your personal problem. “This is something the entire tribe should celebrate.”
The reason Daejeonsa wanted to take me was this.
It is said that two or three children are born in the Kairos tribe every day.
It is said that they are so prolific that they themselves are difficult to handle.
It was a good thing that the number of people increased.
It is not for nothing that they say that the humane tactic is the best tactic.
No matter how strong you were, there was a limit to your physical strength.
It may have been an overwhelming difference in power, but otherwise, in the end, it was only a few people who got tired.
Especially for those who rely on strong bodies like barbarians as their base, I have said everything.
However, what cannot be said to be a good thing is that food is food, but not everyone can prove that they are warriors.
Easton and Elves were few in number.
They didn’t even try to fight there easily.
It was even more difficult to find the enemy now that the red hawk had been swallowed.
Among them, only a very small number of barbarians were able to take the warrior’s test.
So they held a feast for those who safely became warriors.
I was rejecting it.
‘If only I were a tribesman like them. Otherwise, it would be suicidal for me to follow him.’
No matter what he says, I will never follow him.
I am thinking that this could be a good opportunity.
But that’s only when you can return alive.
No matter how much I followed them in and figured out their strength, it was meaningless if I couldn’t get back alive.
‘There are hatchlings… but the word they speak of is a shaman.’
Hatchlings can currently use magic up to circle 5.
Invisibility was possible, but warp could not use teleportation.
What they meant was that if the shaman they were talking about was the same shaman I knew, I could get caught even if I used magic to trick my eyes.
I don’t want to gamble and take risks.
What should I do to let me go?
The simplest way was to run away like this, but… it didn’t seem like they would just let me go.
Swoosh –
The barbarians narrowed the siege even further, as if preparing for my escape.
It didn’t seem like it would go over well.
I think the Daejeon would move out of the way if I told him to, but it was extremely annoying to me.
After looking through them and thinking about it, I decided to compromise.
“Then let’s do it like this.”
“how?”
“It’s difficult right now due to various reasons, so how about we do it next time?”
“Hmm…”
The great warrior tapped his forearm with his finger.
After thinking for a while, he looked at me and opened his mouth.
“Not bad.”
I was relieved to hear his answer.
If I had refused even this, I would have had no choice but to fight them.
Otherwise they won’t let me go.
‘It’s best to move on quietly for now.’
Above all, I had been languishing here for quite some time.
Over the course of a week, I treated the World Tree for about an hour.
They say it wouldn’t be strange if the delay lasted about 30 minutes, but if it lasted more than an hour or two, the elves might think it was strange.
I won’t come to catch you right away because I’ve been doing something for a while, but I can’t avoid suspicion.
Moreover, if I discovered elves who were bound by the hatchling’s magic before me, a variety of difficult situations could have arisen.
It’s okay to say he’s the culprit, but you have to show proof.
So, before meeting the Great Warrior and the barbarians, I tried to only look around at places with bloodstones.
Even though it got twisted like this.
“But if I just leave you here, I don’t know when we will meet again, so it would be better to set a date now.”
I didn’t have the heart to just let it go.
Honestly, if I hadn’t planned the day, I would have postponed the day I would meet them again until a very, very distant future.
I thought that by the time I met them again, I would at least be strong enough to take on them all, or when the hatchlings would have grown further.
There was no way to avoid this.
‘When would be a good time… No, if I said I was going to meet them in the first place, the Marquis of Easton and the knights wouldn’t stay still. Even Count Warrug will be angry.’
He was embarrassed by what I saw after meeting the elves.
If I were to go and meet the barbarians who were the enemies of the entire South, I would never receive a positive response.
You’ll be lucky if you don’t get locked up.
As much as he brought me here, he also had a responsibility to bring me back safely.
Because he was the one who got Count Millennium’s consent.
If I die here, Count Warrug may have to run away from Count Millennium.
Even though I don’t fit into the magic clan Millennium, I’m the only heir.
There’s more to it than that.
“When do you want?”
“tomorrow.”
“It’s impossible.”
I flatly refused.
Obviously, if you follow them, you may never be able to return safely, or you may not be able to return in one day.
You may have to be tied up for a few days.
“Then let’s do it the next day.”
“That is also difficult.”
It seems like they want to get me there as quickly as possible, but I’m trying to take at least another week.
‘I have no idea when Count Warrug will return…’
Looking at the current situation, I think he will return only when the problems in the south are resolved to some extent… In order to do that, the biggest problem, the Kairos shortage, must be resolved.
In that situation, when I said I was going to go to the enemy camp alone, some crazy guy said, ‘Oh, okay. Would you like to say ‘Good luck!’ and send it off.
They will tell you that you are crazy and tear you down.
“Then when is the right time? “Why did you not want to come back like this?”
Accurate.
But I couldn’t say it straight away, so I shrugged my shoulders and shook my head.
“I’m not that stupid. I know how persistent you are, but would I do something like that? Even if I run away, you will surely chase me to the end of the continent.”
“Hmm hmmm. yes.”
It wasn’t a compliment, but the Great Master seemed to like what I said and nodded and smiled.
“one week.”
“hmm…?”
“I will come visit you in a week. As for the place… you can come here. “If you don’t like it here, you can choose somewhere else.”
“No, that’s not it. “Nothing good comes from getting caught by other guys, so come here.”
I never would have guessed that it was his solo action.
Well, it was a matter of letting a stranger in, but no matter how great a warrior he was, it was not a matter he could decide on his own.
There must be at least the consent of the other great warriors or the chieftain.
And the barbarians I know will never accept me.
No, accepting it doesn’t mean it’s a good thing.
They’ll either torture me or try to figure out Easton’s strength.
‘That guy is a different species.’
The great warrior in front of me was a strange man.
Maybe he was a special type of person who thoughtlessly made decisions on his own that could put the entire clan in danger.
“I will come here when the sun rises in the sky.”
“Promises must be kept.”
“yes.”
To be honest, I have no desire to keep my promise.
“If you break your promise, you will have to endure our wrath.”
I couldn’t just go against the idea of leading my clan into an attack.
No matter how great a warrior he is, he won’t be able to move the entire Kairos tribe… but his influence is so strong that he will be able to move thousands of tribesmen.
No matter how prepared the Knights of Easton were, they had to endure great damage.
Because the Daejeon Temple was moving.
‘He probably wouldn’t hesitate to risk his own death.’
It is said that a Great Warrior is basically weaker than a Sword Master, but stronger than a top-level Sword Expert.
Maybe it could be comparable to the Sword Master.
Even if Count Warrug stepped forward, he would have to take damage, and if he made a mistake, the hatchling could have to show up.
Because then you will have to deal with not just dozens but thousands of barbarians.
‘I don’t know everything. For now, let’s go back and think about it.’
One week may be short, but it was enough time to prepare.
The point was that he might not come as defenseless as he does now.
I can become stronger through the bloodstones I obtain.
‘The best thing is to become a sword master, but that’s a matter of gaining power, so there’s no need to have high expectations.’
I nodded.
The great warrior gestured to the barbarians who were blocking my back.
“Then I’ll see you then.”
The Great Warrior enters the bushes with the barbarians.
A barbarian grabbed the elf by the neck and disappeared into the bushes.
I looked at the spot where they had disappeared and then walked back the way I came.
-Is the human okay?
The hatchling, who had been quiet throughout the conversation with the great warrior, spoke up.
“uh. are you okay.”
It’s okay. In a way, I was able to obtain the bloodstones without suffering any damage.
But I’m worried that after a week I’ll have to go into the tiger’s den.
-Why didn’t you fight? I can fight!
The hatchling asks as if he doesn’t understand.
Even if I explained it in detail, it didn’t mean that he would understand everything, so he said there was a reasonable reason for it and let it go.
The hatchling tilted her head but didn’t ask any more questions.
Rustle.
I ran with all my might and returned to the place where the World Tree was.
As if the elves hadn’t noticed anything strange yet, the area of the World Tree was the same as it was before I left.
Or, what has changed is that the World Tree has become more vibrant.
I headed towards the tied up elves.
Meanwhile, the elves had woken up and were glaring at me with eyes full of fear and anger.
I ignored their gaze and looked around.
Five or six pits were visible. Around it, flowers I had never seen before were in full bloom.
‘I just need to remove those.’
And that will be in a week, when I’ll be visiting the barbarians.
Because I have to pass through the elves’ territory to get to them.
Otherwise, we would have to go straight through the barbarians.
“Let’s go back.”
I was mentally exhausted, perhaps because of the fierce battle with the great warrior.
I wanted to lie in bed and sleep all day.
“What should I do with these?”
Before that, the traitors must be dealt with first.
The best way is to hand it over to the elves.
‘I don’t want to give it away for free.’
In conclusion, these guys installed it today and I got tangled up with the Daejeonsa.
Maybe that’s why I didn’t want to send it off in a nice way.
