“I'm not going. I'll never make it. I'm not going anywhere unless I'm crazy. ”

Of course, Claris firmly refused Kim Sung-cheol's offer.

Kurt Assam tried to persuade his granddaughter on behalf of Kim Sung-cheol.

“Clariss, this is your last chance. I won't go to the Great Forest again, so just this once, please come with me. ”

Kurt Assam's persuasion caused a slight change in Clariss' heart, but it did not reach a critical reversal.

“Hey, Clariss. Time to sing the next song. ”

A member of the band who was working with him was looking at the clock nervously, waiting for Clariss.

Clariss walks back to the banquet hall.

Soon there was music and a beautiful song resounded over the river in the middle of the night.

“What a beautiful voice. ”

It is uncommon for Sung-cheol Kim to compliment others.

But it didn't sound like that to the people at the banquet hall.

As the song approaches its climax, a drunken nobleman laughs and throws a glass cup at the stage.

“Hey! Shut up! ”

It was a middle-aged belly full of tortoises.

“I can't call you here! Get that thing out of here now. ”

He flirted to the stage.

A few rural aristocrats looked at him and laughed.

Clariss and the musicians stopped singing to see if the situation was familiar and only saw the man's eyes.

The Kurenarrut man glances at Clariss with his fierce eyes and shouts with a satisfactory smile.

“Miss Clariss! Why didn't you bring the clothes I gave you? A special stage costume I bought from Ragranje! ”

“No... he...”

Kurt Asam, who was watching, bites his face.

“How dare he do that to my granddaughter. ”

Kurt Asam walks forward.

“Where are you going? ”

When Sung-cheol Kim asked, Kurt Asam did not stop answering.

“I can't just stand by and watch the man who used to be my house slave touch my granddaughter. ”

He walks to the entrance of the banquet hall.

Strong men stand in the way.

Kurt Asam forcefully squeezes in between the men.

“Out of the way! Out of the way! I just want to say something. ”

Kurt Assam stirs up another commotion at the entrance.

The music stops and the nobles' gaze returns to the entrance.

Among them was the man who made fun of Clariss by throwing a cup.

The man who raised the impressive tornado recognized Kurt Asam's face and burst out a big smile.

“Look who it is. Aren't you the great explorer Kurt Assam? I heard you went to the Great Forest again. Why are you back already? Are we screwed again? ”

As he looks around and says, others burst into laughter.

“Gareth Ale! The man who's been a slave to our house for generations has made some money! ”

When I heard the word paper, the smile disappeared from Kurenarrut's face.

“I was once. But not anymore. Remember, I built a family, but you brought it down. And now I'm rewarding you for my accomplishments, and you're getting paid. If it weren't for the curse of extinction, I would have used your family for generations, slaves of my house, and that would be a shame. ”

Horses are disgusting, but if you insist, you're absolutely right.

Being right sometimes drives people crazy.

“Gareth! You bastard! ”

Kurt Asam breaks through the gatekeeper and rushes to Gareth Ale.

But the gatekeepers who were chasing him caught him.

Kurt Asam is beaten to a pulp and driven out.

After the performance, Clariss hurriedly leaps over here and examines Kurt Asam's details.

At first, her face was full of fury, but when she saw Kurt Asam's face that had been beaten in a mess, her anger faded and she was greatly concerned about his condition.

“Grandpa, are you okay? ”

“Ugh... I'm sorry. Clariss.”

Tears were flowing in Kurt Assam's eyes.

It was a mix of anger and remorse, and tears were crying because it hurt so much.

“I messed you up. If it was the way it was supposed to be, I'd be flying in the name at the music school in Lagranje. Because of my greed...”

“What are you talking about? Grandpa... No... I'm pissed off, to be honest. Even if it wasn't just Grandpa...”

Clariss' fists tremble.

Then Kim Sung-cheol appeared in front of his grandson.

“ ……. ”

Claris' gaze was on Kim Sung-cheol.

“No, you. Your grandfather was right. You were just watching, right? How can a person be so compassionate...”

Boom.

You drop a box in front of Clariss.

A box sealed by the League of Merchants.

After unsealing the seal and opening the chest, a bright golden glow spills out around you.

Clariss and Kurt's eyes are golden.

“Is this enough? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked in a calm tone.

*

There were four people aboard the boat heading for the Great Forest.

Kurt Asam and his granddaughter were sitting on the front and looking at the river with anxious eyes.

A strong man with a tattoo on his forehead called Rapist Wright sat back and stared at Clariss Bay.

“Huh-huh-huh...”

Kim Sung-cheol stood at the last minute, holding the key, and indifferently watching the landscape within the line.

“Hey.”

Kim Sung-cheol called Light.

I did not hear Kim Sung-cheol's voice in his ear.

‘Hmm... I guess he's also from the Emperor's side. ’

I thought it was a rotten apple, but I didn't think it was this rotten.

As soon as he left the city, Lite suddenly stood up and blew the whistle that was hanging around his neck.

The small boats that were hiding in the reef forest row hard toward this direction.

“Rumor has it that the Summoner has a lot of money. Kill them all!”

At the same time, the rapist pulls out his axe and bursts out a big smile.

“Kuhahaha! People don't change that easily! Did you really think I'd do something like that? She's mine. Nobody touch her! ”

After a while.

The bodies of the bandits float around the boat. The bandits were slowly sinking into the muddy waters on fire.

In front of Sung-cheol Kim, a man with a tattoo on his forehead was on his knees.

“This is the only time I've found true inner beauty, and I've also gained the power to resist my bad heart. Yes, I met you, and I was reborn, and I was able to create a truly meaningful canopy. I beg you, if you would just give him one more chance...”

The rapist comfortably told Kim Sung-cheol about his openness.

Kim Sung-cheol let him live first.

It has a purpose.

More surprisingly, Kurt Asam and his granddaughter.

They couldn't keep their mouths shut because of Kim Sung-cheol's overwhelming power.

There's something flashy and volatile going on, and all those murderous robbers are dead.

“Grandpa, what the hell is he? ”

“Th-that... th-that... magician? ”

Kurt Assam couldn't possibly know.

that the person who hired him is the most famous person in the world.

In the chaos, Kim Sung-cheol's boat reached the end of the river that was blocked by the tree mother.

“French.”

I briefly said to the rapist who had Kim Sung-cheol alive.

“Can I come out? ”

I heard a girl's voice in Kim Sung-cheol's pocket.

Kim Sung-cheol nodded.

Then a small book appeared in Kim Sung-cheol's pocket, and suddenly it burst in the sky and changed greatly.

The flying book of bartelgia revealed itself.

She flies toward Clariss and circles around her.

“Hee-hee! ”

Clariss almost jumps off the boat, but Kurt Asam grabs her.

“There's a pretty sister. He sings a little. You don't sing much more than I do. ”

“The book... the book is talking...! ”

Then I heard a flute in front of me.

The rapist Wright is playing the flute with trembling hands that look like a recorder.

However, his poor singing skills did not impress the wooden mother.

The mother wiggles a little, and then hardens like a solid wall.

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol's shadow was lying on the rapist's face.

“Oh, I've got the heart of a dog. It's not working. One more time with the heart of the dog...”

The man blew the flute again, but the result was the same.

Kim Sung-cheol pulled out the rope he liked from the Soul Warehouse and wrapped it around Light's neck.

But the whistle on my neck is annoying.

Sung-cheol Kim broke the rope that made the whistle and wrapped Light's neck around the rope again.

“Ugh... Ahhhh!!! ”

The rapist's scream echoes over the dense forest.

His scream moved the roots a little more to impress the mother than his flute.

Kim Sung-cheol approached Kurt Asam and Clariss with a distant tongue hanging over his body.

“Okay. Next. ”

“ ……. ”

Clariss swallows her saliva and stands in front of the boat.

My heart thumped, but I came to peace as I took my usual deep breath.

Hundreds of times, her experience onstage calmed her down as a habit.

Although there were no audience, no lights, no musical company, she opened her mouth to the myriad of tree roots blocking her way.

“... I feel courageous to see such elegance. The light shining from the two suns fades and brightens again. ”

At first, a low, humbling song began to grab the air around it as it moved on to the next verse, with strong power and appeal.

The trees shake slowly.

In the only beautiful sound that resonated in the silent forest, Kim Sung-cheol could see the magical view of the branches that blocked the front of the ship cracking like a stream of water.

‘I see.'

The road is open.

The circular river that had been hidden among the infinitely expanded tree roots was spread in front of Kim Sung-cheol.

Kim Sung-cheol looked at the surrounding landscape by taking a map made of Goblin Hide.

Sharp blade-shaped rocks, big trees with white monkeys, and a hot spring with orange water flowing.

The covers that I searched for but never showed were so natural and continuous.

“This is it. This is it.”

The most exciting thing was Kurt Assam.

“It would have been the eighth expedition. One of the mercenaries summoned Plot to soothe his uselessness. I guess that's why the road was open. ”

The wall of the tree that was in front of you is now gone.

When Claris stopped singing, Kim Sung-cheol could see.

A pointed spire that glistens faintly over a lush green inferno.

Is that it?

At that moment, Kurt Assam looks around anxiously and talks.

“You'll hear strange noises in just a few minutes. ”

“Strange sounds? ”

“Machines and sounds I've never heard before. The mercenaries heard that and fled. I heard there are monsters or demons crawling out of the sky. ”

Soon, Kim Sung-cheol could hear the sound.

Irregular waves echo through the vines and bushes.

It sounded like metal colliding with metal, and it sounded like it repeatedly hit heavy mortars.

As we got closer, the unidentified noise became even more intimidating.

Clariss rolls up her sleeves and stands guard, protecting Kurt Asam.

In her hands is an axe left by the rapist. The sack of the axe says, “In celebration of your release, a new heart! The phrase" was muted.

The frightened Bertelgia, like before, took refuge in Kim Sung-cheol's pocket, but as the sound got closer and clearer, it squeaked out of his pocket.

“Huh? That sound. That sounds familiar. ”

Kim Sung-cheol moved forward, rowing with an expressionless face.

Soon, Kim Sung-cheol's group confronts the identity of the sound.

A strap.

You see a saw blade spinning beyond the broken rhombus tree.

The owner of the saw blade was a golem made of stone and iron.

About five meters tall, two red eyes made of jewels were flashing, and the rusty iron rust from the mossy fuselage above the white granite was buried in a bloody horror.

“Huh? That's a standard combat golem. Dad made it! ”

Bertelkia steps out of her pocket and heads for the golem.

“Hey, it's me. Don't you recognize me? ”

The next moment, the saw blade rotates and moves toward Bertelkia.

“Huh...?! ”

At the moment of the incision, a cheerful wave sounds and something black wields a rotating saw blade.

Horseshoe Cassandra.

“Come here. Bertelkia.”

As Bertelkia quickly approaches Kim Sung-cheol, the horse carriage casandra is pulled tightly.

“Grumgh...”

The moment the golem tilts his head, he wonders if the fuselage of the heavy golem is lifted up, and then plunges straight into the river.

It was an unbelievable force to see with my own eyes.

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol waited for the air bubbles to settle on the muddy water and then rowed again.

Kurt Asam and Claris stared at Kim Sung-cheol with a stunned face.

After a while, Kurt Asam spoke to Sung-cheol Kim.

“W-who are you? ”

Kim Sung-cheol didn't say anything.

He just quietly rowed.

Soon, an ominous sound came from the other side of the forest.

Another golem.

Kim said briefly to Kurt Asam and Clariss.

“Wait a little longer. It won't take long. ”

Kim Sung-cheol said so and lightly leaped to a place where he heard a sound.

Then he followed the direction of the sound and went out hurting the bush.

The mark of the Lizardmen everywhere was noticed, but not particularly important.

Soon, Kim Sung-cheol found another golem.

Kim Sung-cheol's eyebrows saw the golem slightly shaken.

With a rotating saw blade on one arm, it's the same as the previous golem. But the problem is he's on the other arm.

On the other arm of the golem, there was a clear, bright blue stone just like Kim Sung-cheol's.

And beneath the golem's feet were countless small animals.

Carbunkles.

“Oh, my God, what are you doing? ”

Bertelgia is appalled.

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol immediately took out an arm karaz and hit the golem.

The fighting golem has been struck down from the spot.

“Wait! I need to check the golem. ”

Vertelgia leaps out of her pocket and flies to the wreckage of the destroyed golem.

She approaches the golem's core, shining beyond the coffin.

After time for a cup of tea, Bertella speaks in a confident voice.

“Recently adjusted! ”

“ ……. ”

“Someone recently ordered these golems to do this terrible thing. ”

“Who can do that? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked.

“Only my father... but that's impossible! ”

“Is there any possibility of someone living in the bronze age? Seven heroes.”

Kim Sung-cheol looked around sharply and asked.

“I-I don't know about that. My father knew them and went on a few adventures together, but... maybe he told me about the Golem adjustments. That's not particularly difficult. ”

“Then there's only one answer. ”

Kim Sung-cheol's eyes flashed fiercely.

‘Zaatos.’
