Dream Life

November 2nd afternoon.

The Dwarf blacksmiths left the village, and the village became quiet.

I feel that this has put an end to a series of disturbances, and I, Dan Jakes, am alone in the meadows of Kanga Hill, thinking back about the past month or so.

Ever since the end of the harvest festival, there have been anomalies in the eastern woods and beyond in the Aquila Mountains. Demons have moved north in the woods, and powerful demons such as the Feilong Wyburn and the Winged Lion Griffon have become frequent sightings in the mountains.

Regarding this situation, my predecessors, Miyagi, and Zach had doubts about the movement of the demonic army. Apparently, the situation is similar to when a herd of orgs and orcs moved eleven years ago.

I don't remember eleven years ago, but when I asked Master Zach about it,

"At that time, weak demons like Spear Deer" Speadia "and Horn Rabbit began to escape first, and then even Snow Biao" Snow Panther "escaped to Mount Shekharion. Don't you think it's similar this time?"

"Right. I think it's similar."

"I'm asking your father to step up his reconnaissance, but I have a bad feeling about it. Don't ever do that."

Yes, Master Zach said so. I don't know, but he's close to what it felt like last year when he helped Mr. Luna.

And it was before noon on October 20th that things suddenly changed.

I was scouting the East Forest with three vigilante archers, Mark, and a hunter, Davi.

We left early in the morning and by noon we had arrived at the foot of the mountains, but things were still different until we got there. The rock pig Rockbore, which is usually bound to strike, ignores us and continues to ring as the big black raven Black Raven threatens Garger.

I give instructions to both of you to stay focused. [M]

"Don't get distracted. I'll take the lead. Mark to the left and right, and Davi to the back. I feel like shit."

Four years in Doctus and a year after his return to the village, he is somehow beginning to see how dangerous it feels. Still, I don't know as clearly as Dad, but there's definitely a big guy in my mind.

They both seemed to feel something, answering only "Copy" with few words.

Further down the woods, he felt a blackening feeling, ordered a halt with a hand sign, and lay down on the spot.

"They say there's something ahead. Climb that tree there and see how it goes."

That's what I say and climb an affordable tree.

The area is a woodland of great trees, but at the foot of Aquila, the spacing of the trees is more neglected than in the woods. If you go a little higher, you can see the surroundings somewhat.

I looked around once where I climbed about 5m (melt).

What I saw in my eyes was a bunch of undead coming down the slope. Hundreds of skeletons "skeletons" and corpse-eating ghosts "ghouls" hissed just within sight, and the slopes of the mountain were filled with undead.

The distance was still over two hundred melts and there was plenty of room in time. I will check the range of further visibility with the telescope made by Master Zach.

As far as telescopes could tell, it was mostly skeletons and it felt like Ghoul mixed with it. This reassures me that it can be adequately prevented by the wall, but a demon has appeared that crushes my hopes.

There was a knight without a neck (Durahan) across the pitch-black horse.

Hurry down and explain the situation to the two of you.

"There is an undead in the mountains. That's countless...... Davi should return to the village as soon as possible and tell the Miyagi or his predecessors this.“ Ghoul and Skeleton are filling the woods. The number is unknown. Confirm what the hell Durahan thinks is in command. Find out more and then return. ""

Davi rushed out to repeat my order.

"Mark heads to the wolf smoke table. The color of wolf smoke is red. Put it up as soon as you're ready. I'll scout a little more and then we'll rendezvous."

Mark disappeared into the woods, and I was alone. I got a little nervous, but I'm Rockhart's scout, too. We must gather the necessary information.

At this time, what I was trying to find out was the size and direction of the enemy, and the presence or absence of a commander. If Durahan was in command, many would be more than a thousand, but I didn't think so. Because it seemed like someone was ordering that Durahan move.

Turn off the signs and explore the enemy.

Then it turns out that Durahan has three bodies as well as one. In addition, the ghost Ghost could be clearly seen, as could the superior species, the Necromancer Specter.

I was in a bit of a hurry that this was an unsavory situation, but I still could afford it. Because there are a lot of weapons with misrills on the surface at Master Zach's suggestion.

When we arrived at the wolf smoke table, wolf smoke had already risen. After I explained the situation to Mark, I wrote down where I discovered it and how many enemies it was, how fast it was moving, and I gave it to him.

"Give this to your palace. I'll scout some more and then I'll be back."

"It's dangerous. And that's enough information. Let's go back to the village immediately."

I shake my neck beside his words.

"There's still a big guy out there. It is. If you don't make sure of that, your palace will have trouble judging. You go now!

Mark started running saying "good luck" when he slapped his back in the van and encouraged him to leave, saying no more arguments were useless.

Honestly, I was anxious. There was always Master Zach when these things happened, but now I'm the only one.

But I am the scourge of the Lockhart family.

Repellent is the commander's eye and ear. Therefore, I must convey the most accurate information possible to you and your predecessors.

It was Master Zach who told me that scouts were important. Five years ago, when I went to Doctus, I was worried about the value of my existence.

I'm not much use for swordsmanship or bowing. Zach, Sextet's avant-garde is Dear Zach, Mr. Beatrice, and, Mel. Mr. Beatrice, as well as Master Zach and Mel, have been outstanding as avant-garde since that time.

The guards are Mr. Lydia and Sharon. Mr. Lydia is top notch in bows and magic, and his sister wasn't as good as Master Zach, but she was an amazing enough mage.

In the meantime, I was inferior in swordsmanship and bowing.

That's what made me so stupid to Master Zach. [M] Then Master Zach started talking about his father.

"... My uncle's most trusted scourge is Guy. You know why?

I had no idea. I could only shake my head. [M]

"The scouts are the eyes of the army, the commander. Guy understands that properly. But I think the most important thing in the military is reconnaissance and replenishment."

"Is it reconnaissance and replenishment? But I don't think it makes sense if the troops that actually fight are weak."

I was honest with myself. [M] Master Zach was laughed at by Nicole,

"If you're blindfolded with hunger and inability to move, any strong guy can beat you. Same as that. With proper information and replenishment, you won't lose if you're a little weak"

I thought so.

"This can be us. Excellent as Beatrice, Liddy or Scout for scouts. But if they say they're good as army scouts, I doubt it."

Again, I don't understand. Both Beatrice and Lydia are better at putting out signs than I am. Besides, Beatrice, the beast man, has a good nose, and Lydia, the elf, has a good eye.

"They see things in their own experience. Guy thinks and scouts from his uncle's point of view, or the commander's point of view. That's why my uncle trusts me most."

So I finally figured it out. Excellent scouts need to get the information they need to know exactly what the commander wants to know.

So this time again, Master Hall, I tried to get as much information as my predecessors needed. Of course, we are also starting Davi and Mark because Master Zach has taught us that we need to communicate the information as soon as possible.

Back to the story, after breaking up with Mark, he carefully moved the sides of the enemy and explored the full extent of the enemy. I hid in the shadow of the tree for about thirty minutes and watched, but gradually became anxious.

The line of undead was uninterrupted, because Durahan, who had only three, appeared in five bodies, and also three Necromancer Sorcerers, Rich.

At first I thought Rich was manipulating the undead. But I panicked about the demon that came out after that, the demon with the whole body armor in the black cape.

So I don't really remember much from there. Because I was doing everything I could without thinking about not being found by the enemy or anything.

I managed to get back to the village safely, but I don't even remember what kind of report I made. I just remember that Master Zach magically calmed me down.

I'm disqualified as a scout, but when I heard about it later, I seemed to report it properly.

I've been selflessly obsessed since the battle began.

I fought with both bows and swords, but the last one fought with swords more often.

Mr. Johann's Mithril sword is an amazing sword, and I thought it was a waste to me. But it's good to have this sword. If it weren't for this sword, I wouldn't have been able to keep fighting.

I still feel like a different world event about a death fight that spans four days. Fight the undead, eat and rest. And then we head to the battlefield again. Because it was no longer realistic due to its repetition, which could be considered infinite.

All I have to do is follow your instructions and those of your predecessors. But the Lockhart family, who are in command, have to judge the situation and give precise instructions.

Master Zach was also working on countermeasures with the Miyagi while conducting his work as a healer and conductor on the fence.

Now I think our placement was really well thought out. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to keep fighting for four days, because no matter how sturdy the fence was, we wouldn't have been able to hold that big army in.

Still, it is definitely a total force battle in the village of Rasmore.

Theo, who was only eleven in the last two days, and Serra were also on the front lines. There were other children in their early teens who had just started training for the vigilante, starting with my sister Eunice and Mel's brother Lyle.

I don't really remember when I was fighting Skeleton or Ghoul, but I clearly remember the last battle with Vlad Varonos, king of the Undead.

Master Zach's conceived operation is a reverse invasion using tunnels made by the enemy. When I heard the story, I thought that was Master Zach. I would never think of it. [M]

But the enemy was strong. No, it's more accurate that Vlad was strong.

If it weren't for Vlad, Rich and Durahan, no matter how many orga-class skeletons there are, they wouldn't be the enemies of the Lockhart family. Even I'm arrowing up a third-degree demon, Rich, and I'm working with my father, but I'm taking down Durahan.

Yes, to Vlad alone. We were prepared to die. In fact, if our predecessors hadn't stood up and stopped the enemy from moving, and if Master Zach hadn't figured out a way to defeat the enemy, I think we would have been wiped out.

But back then, what I was thinking was about Mel.

Mel was impotent many times.

When Mr. Beatrice was defeated by Vlad and Master Zach was alone, he ignored Durahan and went into it.

Dear predecessors, Dear Rod, If Mr. Nicholas hadn't followed, Mel would have been slashed and killed from behind by Durahan.

I've been impotent ever since. I challenged that undead king to battle alone.

I was told later that Mel seemed to feel Vlad was less skilled. But I didn't know that at the time, so I didn't think Mel was going to get killed.

I tried to come forward to cover Mel immediately, but my father yelled at me.

"Defeating Rich is first! Look around you! It should be more helpful not to let Rich attack you than to support you halfway!

The words finally made the entire battlefield visible.

Mel did look critical. Because on the edge of his eyes was the appearance of Vlad, who rolls out his sword like electric light, and Mel, who avoids it on a single piece of paper. I was worried when that pitch-black sword would pierce her.

But I kept releasing arrows at Rich. [M] Because I decided to force myself to think that was the best way to help her.

Whether the thought rode an arrow or a missle arrow pierced Rich's face in one piece. He collapsed scattering screaming thoughts, but there was no joy in me. At that time, all I thought about was releasing an arrow for the next rich.

Later, in order to succeed in Master Zach's operation, Mel had taken the place of his predecessors who stood up and sealed the enemy's sword, resolutely launching an attack.

The attack was brilliantly successful and slashed off the right hand of the enemy, but he was thrust through the gap shortly afterwards and struck over the shoulder and blown away.

Before I even realized it myself, I said, "Mel!" He was screaming. The urge to go help ran all over my body.

After that it unfolded too fast and I don't remember much.

After grabbing Mel and running into the tunnel at the behest of Master Zach, he finally returned to me.

Not only Mel, but my predecessor, Mr. Nicholas, and sister were unconscious.

All I could do was stare at what Master Zach was trying to do to his predecessors.

"We'll guard the entrance!" In his father's voice, he realized that the danger had not yet left.

At that time, I was worried about Mel, who was unconscious. But I forced her out of consciousness that all I could do was keep my enemies out, and I headed for the entrance.

It was a normal skeleton coming in, so even my tired father and I could handle it adequately.

It's been tough ever since.

There were still tons of skeletons left, and it took them until morning to defeat all the enemies.

I was so nervous about it, but it was hard to end it.

The Royal Kaum Army and the Periclitle blacksmiths came to me, so I figured we'd be on our way. Everyone was exhausted and the only decent people standing were Mr. Miyagi and Mr. Walt's following squire.

Still intoxicated by the great victory.

In the last four days of battle, my swordsman and archer levels have risen one by one.

Maybe it's normal because Master Zach and the Mels are up one by one, but I was still happy.

The exhilaration also squished on October 30th.

Because Master Zach called me to talk about my engagement to Mel.

I knew this would happen a long time ago, and I knew what Mel wanted. Once it was officially decided, I was going to laugh and bless it.

But when I saw Mel crying happy to be proposed by Master Zach, I almost burst into tears.

I knew this would be best, but there's no word of blessing out there that I actually thought I'd see.

I managed to just say "congratulations" and escaped the scene.

After escaping from the living room away, he was headed to the square next to the training ground. I don't even know why I'm headed there.

And when I was little, I used to play with playthings, leaning against iron bars.

I looked up at the sky, thinking we all played here. The starry sky was spreading, but the stars seeped in tears and I didn't see well.

In tears, I thought back to what I had just done.

I've told Master Zach many times that I want Mel's happiness to be the most important thing, but I couldn't sincerely congratulate him. I don't like such a feminine self.

What should I do next? [M]

Can I stay with everyone? Will you stay with everyone and I will stay the way I have always been? [M]

I was thinking about that.

At times like this, Master Zach usually speaks to me. [M] But I have to bite this thought by myself today. I know that.

As I wept, I suddenly remembered Master Zach's words.

'Crying is not a bad thing. If you're sad, you should cry. If you think it's lame, you can cry as much as you want where nobody's watching.' Cause it's better not to draw. '

I waved my sword crying in the training ground where no one was.

Thinking about Mel.

I think I've been waving my sword for about an hour.

I felt like I blew it off somehow. Of course, I didn't totally blow it off. But I think I blew it off enough to be able to congratulate Mel and Master Zach when I met them.

"I feel like drinking asexually..." he said to himself.

And suddenly a laugh comes in.

Because I remember what Master Zach told me back in the day.

After my banquet with the Dwarf blacksmiths,

"Fun drinking alcohol is delicious. So this is what makes you want to drink.

When I said that, Master Zach told me in a smudged way.

"That's when I feel like drinking, but I guess it's a little different that I really want to drink. If you think you want to drink sexually, I think that's a sign that you've grown up. Dan may not know yet..."

I seem to have grown up a little. [M] I think the laughter came in because that felt sexually strange.

Then when I got home, for some reason, my father suggested booze.

I don't talk much from time to time, but then he took out two glasses that Master Zach gave me without really saying anything and poured me a scotch of a decade's stuff.

And when I put one in front of me, I started drinking without saying anything.

It was the first alcohol I had had alone with my father.

I still don't know how good Scotch is. But Scotch felt bitter that day for some reason, but I felt it was delicious.

He was quietly tipping the glass, wondering if he would be drinking like this again in the future.
