Haroon

"The Way to the Land of Silence"

At the end of the Feast of Weeks, Taniella and Donnes join forces, each of whom pitches a tent and prepares an early supper. Having a meal prepared by Henny with his crew, they all turned out to be four groups, with the exception of mercenaries.

Ares, Mae Mae Mae, and Chorn were having a meal with bread in their ready-made stew boiled in water with dried jerky. Avan, Shani and the attendant, while the Escort Blader was eating bread and fruit, were talking about Dorado.

Dylan and the two young men and women were eating a kind of lunch box that they pulled out of their magic backpacks, and the latter ones, Taniella and Doneis, also solved dinner with bread and water.

After dinner, Harun called the people together. The sun was finally setting.

“We have to start with enforcement tomorrow. Everyday passes through the Duke of Thebes and into the land of tranquility are rumored to be harsh, but we must cross carved rocky terrain, wetlands and vast lakes like the sea to shorten our schedule. ”

I said "vigilante," but people just nodded silently and still didn't realize it.

After a moment of silence, Avan asks.

“So how short can the schedule be? ”

“The originally formed path takes at least two months to walk, and the Earl of Thebes Gateway, the Irish Mountains, takes at least a month to walk. But we're going to go through a straight path into the plains of tranquility, which is the entrance to the land of tranquility, in 20 days' time. So I want everyone to share their stamina. ”

“Phew, I have to say I'm dead. An old man like me wouldn't have any bones left. ”

Even though he was a grumpy avan, others were finally realistic faces. I have a rough idea of how to reduce such long journeys to at least a third.

“Commander, what monsters are on our way? ”

Maghm asked.

“The Stony Mountain range, which will appear in two days' time, is dangerous in itself, but we must cross the furnace in the middle of a cliff called the Valley of Wind. It's the realm of the Serpents and the Wyvern called Dakhil. Then the swamp across is the realm of the Lizardmen, the poisons, and the crocodiles. The last great lake to cross for three days holds the Predator Seagull air, and beneath the water are Black Dolphins of a ferocious statue and giant meat called Beco. ”

The group's face grows tired of Harun's description. I thought it was a rough road, but there were monsters everywhere. I was blinded by how to go that way.

Harun opens his teeth and smiles as he sees people's faces change at all times.

“Those who are going back now, go back. I have chosen the path I can go on, and I have not taken into account the abilities of others, so there will surely be those who are eliminated. If you are a foreigner among them, you'd better turn your resurrection place into a john castle immediately. If you resurrect near a dead place, you'll never be able to do it by yourself. ”

It was kind of the final test for Harun. If you follow me even after talking like this, you have enough will to accompany me. But I couldn't help but worry about it from the point of view of the listeners.

Harun's position was hard to guess, not from their point of view, because it meant that Harun had the worst difficulty.

“I don't mind if I shorten my time. ”

Among the group, Taniella, a loner, replies without hesitation, with a strong eye that does not match the wrinkled presbyopia.

“Isn't that too much to go back to? ”

It was Avan's Escort Blader tomb. She used to be quiet, but once she opened her mouth, the people's emotions howled up.

“Well, it is said that only a warrior gets a beauty, so he has to take the risk. ”

Ares never lost to the tomb.

“Of course we follow the commander. ”

Magram and Chorn burn willingness with a resolute attitude that they don't need to think any more.

“We can't give up on danger either. ”

Two young men and women mutely nod in Dylan's words.

“Very well. You don't have to worry, they're all very willing. ”

Harun is inspired by the group's attitude. It seemed a good sign to agree with each other like this on a difficult road.

Harun decides to take out a gift. You can reasonably guarantee the safety of your party. You don't have to if the quest stops being a simple guide, but a safe escort is not enough for Tino and himself. That's what I thought.

Harun, who asked Tino for a magical backpack with his eyes, pulls out Rump Orc defense gear from the backpack he brought.

It was a masterpiece of the work of Tarim, the Leather Master of Taust Castle, and his sons, using the power of a wizard. After being betrayed by the crew, the treasure that was lying in its backpack is now out of the world.

“What's that, boss? ”

Taniella taps on a rich beard and asks. It was Taniella who called Harun the commander even though he had been at war for a long time.

“I know everyone has their own defensive capabilities and means, but the safer you are, the better. Wear only the weaker you are. This gear is for our blast mercenaries only. It's light and wearable, so you can wear it under what you're wearing. ”

Tino walks around, handing out defense gear to the people Harun told you about.

Curious eyes continued to pop from the mouth of Ares, Chorn, Avan, Shani, Taniella, Saying, and Henie, who had been checking the armor for information.

Rump Orc Defense Gear (Set)

Rank: Unique

Contains: Hat-shaped helmet, detachable hard leather, boots, gloves

A luxury item created in collaboration with excellent leather artisans. It's made from Rump Orc leather. Like the Wyvern, Rump Orc's leather has seven layers of defensive strength, preventing it from being cut or hit without Mana. It was enchanted with rum and mythril, a type of bio-management, to increase its magical defense power.

Set effects: Strength +5, HP +5, Agility +5

Optional: Can defend against even 3-Circle Magical Attacks.

“Huff! This is a unique grade of defense gear! ”

“Oh my God! You can stop up to 3 circle magic. You think this stuff is for the crew? ”

“Physical defense is 200. It's not as colorful as the plate mail. ”

They stare at Harun's face in alternation with their armor, unable to keep their mouths shut.

The weight was light enough to hold the whole set with one hand, as well as the feel of the wrap on the hand felt like a soft cotton garment.

“When we get to our destination, we'll give it back on condition. We don't have that many of them, so we can't give them or sell them. ”

“Of course. I never thought there'd be such a thing. Rump Orc Hide, also known as the Devil Orc, deals with misrels and magic. Thank you.I 'll wear it well. ”

The wizard, Taniella, was delighted with the Federation's admiration. Although the robes he wore were no ordinary object, the existence of armor that increased his defense strength so lightly that it did not diminish his health was like having one more life.

“Dammit! The commander regrets the first time he caught the sword. ”

Dylan looks at those who have received the armor with envious eyes. He was also surprised when he saw the information on the defense gear he received. At this rate, it was better than the two layers of metal armor he wore. It was of consistent quality.

Donnes, who secretly tried to shoot Harun and Tino with cold eyes, was not able to hide his surprised appearance at this time. She also checks the information on Taniella's defense gear.

"Are ordinary people wearing high quality defense gear?" These creatures should not be merely rumored to be feared. ’

People saw Saab Harun and the Gust Mercenaries differently. Armor of this kind is worth at least 1,000 gold. Having a distribution that can deliver such an item is never easy.

"Phew, how much money do you have so much of this stuff? I can't believe one of my men wears this luxury. Should I have joined the mercenaries? Plus, this is a new one I've never worn. Anyway, great. My choice was right. If I follow Commander Harun, I'll make a fortune, not to mention my life. ’

Ares smiles with her mouth hanging over her ears for the first time on a unique item. Seeing him reveal all his emotions like a child, Chorn laughed as if he were pathetic, but he did not realize that they were not so different.

“Change right now. It has automatic customization spells, so it doesn't matter the size. You can wear it over your underwear. ”

“Thank you, commander! ”

Those who received Taniella's armor at the forefront thanked him furiously and moved to a tent or behind a tree. Henny and Shani go a little further away.

The prosecutors only look at them with envy. I didn't want to ask for it myself.

“Go change, Tino. ”

“No, I don't need it. ”

Tino's attitude of not being able to look at Harun properly after betraying him has offended me. After all, the one who followed him and betrayed himself for a moment is the one who dies all the time. Tino was that tough.

“Let's go behind that rock. In fact, it's a secret that even though we're the only mercenaries, we have a reputation as commanders and commanders, the armor we both wear is one of the most prestigious designs we've ever given them. ”

A wealthy Tarim said he made two sets of defense gear on his own. Naturally, the functions or options will be different from those worn by regular personnel.

“Ugh! How could you...? ”

“Shh! It's a secret. ”

Harun smiles at Tino, who can't keep his mouth shut.

Tino pretends not to defeat Harun's power, wears Rump Orc defense gear, and wears old defense gear on top of it. He looks at it a few times and can't keep his mouth shut.

Tsk! Tsk!

His body was originally as light as a bird, receiving a messenger moving skill that was easily learned from his master, Debron. Harun felt good seeing Tino jump off a rock twice the height of a man and land lightly.

Tino's mouth is torn into his ears.

Even though I received this armor at Taust Castle, Harun, who had never worn it before, thought to wear it with his crew, also wore it with underwear specially made by rich Tarim. I liked the fit that stuck to my body as soon as I got particles, but I liked the lightness that didn't look like I was wearing more.

When I put on my old Iron Snake defense gear, I could feel the vibrancy flowing through my body.

‘Let's check the status window for a long time. ’

Harun opens the status window.

Leadership: 320 Charisma: 18 (+10)

Physical Defense Power: 400

Magic Defense Power: 450

Bonus stats remaining: 38

Harun's eyes widen, checking the status window.

Wearing items increased the stats, but their HP and Manata increased dramatically. It was something he could never know. As Manaya started spinning the Mana Flow, it increased dramatically, and I could understand that the spirit was also possessed by the bound spirit, but I couldn't understand the other items.

What the hell is going on? ’

The monsters caught were two young Iron Snakes, a Wyvern, and all the Black Orcs. Even though it was amazing that the level jumped, it was beyond curiosity that the entire stat item rose evenly.

But I didn't have time to look at the status window. I decided to think twice and assigned the remaining stats to the 10 lucky ones and the most lacking knowledge.

Harun, who closed the status window, leaps from his position once.

Shook!

His body soars higher than a rock in a heartbeat. Tino's eyes widen to see Harun like that. Harun lands lightly by turning once. When I waved my hands, I felt light as if I could fly like a bird.

“Sounds good to me. ”

“Huff! Not good enough. This……. ”

Tino doesn't speak a word. Tino's eyes widen, frowning.

Although he came up from the end to the second grade mercenaries after working hard, this is the first time I've tried on such a precious item. You feel like you've gained twice as much just by wearing one more set of armor.

I wouldn't be afraid to face Rump Orcs alone now. I've learned a lot of skill skills, but I'm glad my sword's strength and stamina increased more than anything else.

The two men have a long conversation and go to the bonfire, but no one comes back around them. I was distracted by the effects of my new armor. Even the wizards were the same, so old age Taniella was running around like a child.

Only when Tino's excitement has barely subsided do all the people return. She boils tea water for the group and follows them.

“Commander! This is a great guy. ”

“It's not amazing, it's the best. Thank you so much for lending me this precious item. ”

“Haha! I feel like I've aged 10 years, commander. I think the commander is helping me regenerate. ”

People were much more excited than when they received their armor and thanked Harun.

“Don't get too excited, they're for later, so sit down and have a tea. ”

The expression on the faces of those seated on Harun's horse was strange. I already felt sorry for returning these things.

“Let's formally greet each other once we're a group. Of course, I know your information roughly, but if we're going to work together to get through rough roads, we need to know each other's strengths and weaknesses, so I'd like you to give me a detailed introduction for the others. Taniella is the oldest, so let's get started. ”

Harun glances at Taniella. He was also the oldest, but not a wizard, considering the good character of a funny word.

“Phew! I'm a little embarrassed to introduce myself at this age. I'm Taniella, of the Night's True Tower, an incompetent wizard with only six circles. The Wind family specializes in magic and attack magic. The disadvantage is that it's a stamina problem caused by age, which has just been roughly solved by the Commander's favor. ”

The Wizard of the Six Circles is amazing.

Within six months of accessing Beyond, some wizards have mastered four circles, but five circles differ depending on their efforts. Climbing to five circles that require enlightenment is really like tying a needle to the ear.

Furthermore, considering you are over 60 years old, you are mistaken as a simple 6-circle wizard. A wizard's progress is usually determined by his or her circles, but experienced wizards can overcome as ridiculous as one or two circles.

It shows significant differences in magical ability to operate. The most appropriate amount of Mana infusion, the speed at which spells are chanted, and the application instinctively realized through a variety of experiences has more power than just circles.

The people, especially the wizards Ares and Chorn, looked at him with their eyes of desire.

"You're not him, are you? But why do I feel...... ’

Unlike the wizards of this world, it is unlike that of this world, there is a sense of free thinking and broad knowledge that is meaningful in words and actions. However, there was no NPC wizard Harun had observed in the vicinity, so that should be avoided suspicion.

She introduced herself because she was sitting next to Taniella.

“This is Donnes, deputy commander of the Dakarin Mercenaries. I've been trained in archery for a long time, and I specialize in sniper breakthroughs and brawls, and the disadvantages of bloodshed are excitement. I hope the commander will lead us well in the future. ”

Donnes introduces himself and accompanies Harun with a special request. In her gaze, speculation was coming out, with an unmistakable curiosity. I haven't seen any sword or combat scenes yet, but I'm sure I'm quite skilled.

“I'm avan, the merchant. And next to him is his daughter, Shani. My daughter has been in this world for quite some time, and she's a merchant, so she doesn't have any other specialties besides merchandise. But this tomb here is an Expert-class test. ”

Having briefly introduced himself and Shani, the tomb emerges.

“It's called a tomb. I'm escorting them. Specialty... Phew, nothing special. ”

In her introduction, men gleamed in unison as they felt intense curiosity about the Eight Idiots' curved body, outstanding beauty, and a slightly husky voice and the introduction of avant-grade.

This time it was one of the two young men and women who accompanied Dylan. Strangely, with a peculiar face that could not match her age, she appeared to be in her 20s when she introduced herself.

“Let's call it a reason. Let's just say the identity is unclear. He specializes in infiltration, search, escape, assassination. The armor I received from Commander Harun has greatly increased its abilities this time. I also had a disadvantage of running endurance, but this time it was resolved. But how do we buy this stuff? ”

It was an excuse to smile and ask for an introduction. I've left everything to Dylan for the time being, and it's consistent with silence, but it's also a good fit as soon as I start opening my mouth.

“Only our mercenaries are supposed to wear that stuff. ”

The excuse is to stick out your tongue and fall back, assuming Harun's doctor is in the words. The young and handsome man sitting next to her reveals himself as he looks around.

“I am Valtran, the prosecutor, and I cannot reveal my true identity in detail. They specialize in horseback riding and personal knighting. The disadvantage...... Well, I can't think of anything. ”

Baltic briefly introduced himself in heavy bass.

“Haha! So you're good at everything. Amazing.”

Shani, who has been paying attention to his group ever since he joined, has been putting small strides on whether Baltrang's introduction is too short. But Baltic remains silent with no change in his expression, and Dylan takes his place beside him.

“Hahaha! Don't be such a pussy, cutie. ”

“Hmph! Who are you? ”

“My name is Dylan. I'm a little old, but I'm confident I won't lose to anyone. ”

He confidently introduced himself. In his words, I felt strong vigor, confidence, and relaxation.

An unusual figure. A wholly gentle Dylan, but occasionally revealed deep, intense eyes and a strong streak of unconsciousness suggested that his skills and status were unusual.

“I am Ares, the Four-Circle Battle Wizard, a foreigner who deals with information. Please, I've learned a few assassin skills. ”

“Magnum, a foreigner's prosecutor, lacks in every way. Please take good care of it."

Magran looks a little overwhelmed, dealing with people who are jumpy. I started the game with a considerable amount of merit as a GM, but after meeting Harun, I started worrying about training.

“I would also like to ask you to deliver lots of maps. I'm Chorn, a foreigner from the Four Circles. ”

Chorn humbly introduced himself, but his face was relaxed. His personality was bright and active, and he was looking at people with curious eyes.

Once their destination was the land of tranquility, everyone assumed their final destination was an ancient dungeon. I could already hear people's heads spinning to determine whether they would become allies or foes.

The next one was Henny.

“My name is Henny, the gale mercenary. As an intermediate therapist, I will take good care of your injuries in case you ever get hurt. ”

Ares, who has been paying special attention to her since Henny joined, smiled at her.

“Wow! Best party ever. ”

“I see. With this much power, there won't be a problem with a Class C dungeon. ”

Ares and Magram are having a nice conversation. What they said turned out to be a great party. A Class C dungeon wouldn't be a problem with two Four Circle Wizards and a Six Circle Wizard.

“But I'm missing the introduction of the commander and him. ”

Harun's expression about to say goodbye changed strangely. Harun had no intention of introducing himself, but after this, he couldn't help himself.

“That's Tino, commander of our mercenaries. The ability to find a path and detect danger is a constant. Another specialty is rapid foot, acupuncture, and emergency care. ”

Several people later joined Harun's description and looked at Tino with new eyes. I've seen him work hard during his arrival, but I didn't know he was the commander of the mercenary army.

Given the value of the name of the Gust Mercenary, people's gaze couldn't help but feel that his abilities must have been great. Moreover, he also had skills on the treatment that was lacking for this work year.

Finally, Harun opens his mouth.

“I am Harun, in charge of the mercenaries. They specialize in cancer technology and aesthetics. Swordsmanship is average. ”

“Was it a spirit?”

I briefly introduced myself to Harun, but many people's mouths burst with amazement. Sorcerers like Taniella and Chorn had already guessed by the scent of the spirit and the vivid memorization of its traces.

However, the rest of the people who had not yet seen the presence of spirits were so surprised that they stood up. Their scent was overwhelming by the smell of spirits.

A spirit was that rare. Spirits that cast spirits with different powers than wizards had extraordinary abilities.

It is said that the knights who can handle Mana are one in a thousand, the wizards are one in 10,000, and the spirits are born as one in 100,000 or one in a million. It is said that nothing should be done with effort, but wizards and spirits can never be jobs without innate qualities.

Although it is hard to find people of particular qualities, the lack of systematic animosity has made the presence of intermediate animists rare among humans, even in the 1,000 years of the Teron Empire.

“A swordsman who does animosity. Let's talk about this some other time, Captain. ”

Taniella, the Wizard, has asked for an interview. I've never met a spiritual swordsman who's old enough to use a sword, not just a spirit.

“It doesn't matter if you don't reveal yourself in a position like this, but you have to obey me well to your destination. No one would be willing to do that, but I hope you will do so during this journey as you must obey the commander's orders, regardless of your command on the battlefield. ”

Everyone nodded and agreed.

“We have to leave at dawn tomorrow, so we have to go to bed early. The wizards will set their turn to place the alarm spell 100 or 50 feet away from the compound. Tino, set a trap with me. ”

Harun hurries away.
