Main Character Hides His Strength

52. Unexpected Reunion (2)

Despite the harsh appeal, the people of the village reacted coldly.

No one listened to him.

The hostility and hatred towards the monks rose sharply in the heavy silence, and the power on Tangrit's shoulders that was beating the bell was gradually drawing out.

Nevertheless, the monk did not avoid his eyes. He speaks to the crowd in a split voice.

“The Insvants are preparing to attack us. On a considerable scale. I see you're not just trying to create a conflict, but preparing for a war. ”

The monk's voice contained complex emotions, but it did not reach the heart of the villagers.

People reacted as if they were not cool enough to be crazy.

“The refugees hit us? We are blessed by the Tower of the Hidden? ”

The young man snorted and said.

In front of it, a protest against Tangrit pours out.

“Why would the pagans of the east attack us with Kanes? ”

“Looks like Kanes will be cleared out of a line of defensive air defensemen just outside the town. ”

The rainy rebuttal soon began to deteriorate with the blame on Tangrit himself.

Kim Sung-cheol learned from a hostile language how much anger and hostility the villagers had towards the monks.

One of them, the old one-armed man, said in a nutshell how the villagers felt about Tangrit.

“Your sins of abandoning your obligations and your vows and letting those who follow you die senselessly remain an indelible scar on the hearts of the villagers. Whatever you do, whatever you do, that scar will never go away. ”

It seemed to have cut through Tangrit's heart more than any blame.

After quietly accepting numerous condemnations spilling out of his waist, Tangrit pressed his lip tightly and left the square without saying a word.

Tuck.

A boulder flies from behind and falls at Tangrit's feet.

Tangrit turns his head and looks back.

His eyes are filled with unstoppable fury.

But the unsub was hidden behind a crowd and could not be found.

The former lord turns his head and walks toward the baron, the only one who follows him.

As Tangrit disappeared from view, there was a commotion in the square.

Sung-cheol Kim stayed in the square for a while and listened to people's stories. I just went back and forth with this lame story.

“That guy. I'll live a long time.”

Bertelkia said a brief look.

Kim Sung-cheol, on the other hand, couldn't accept this like everyone else.

After all, Kim Sung-cheol owes his life to Tang Grit. As long as it turns out that no one is lurking around, Tangrit's grace must be emphasized even more.

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol doesn't open his hand to anyone and doesn't reach out his hand, but the person who received it must pay.

Kim Sung-cheol silently followed behind the old lord.

*

The old cabin on the outskirts of the town looks even more humble and slutty than usual.

Kim Sung-cheol examined the compassion inside before entering the hut. There was a faint smell of cigarettes, but there was nothing else.

“What if that nobody woman is chasing us? ”

Bertelgia asks in an anxious voice in front of the hut.

Obviously a nuisance.

However, as long as its existence is already known, it is almost impossible for anyone to attack Kim Sung-cheol as usual.

Wherever she appears from, the moment she shows up, she's gonna be a handful.

Moreover, Kim Sung-cheol brought his own solution.

A boundary order purchased from the town's magic shop.

Kim Sung-cheol noticed that the scroll was made of at least five runes by looking at the mark of the magic bar that appeared as he tore the scroll.

‘When the opportunity arises, I'll have to buy a highly-rated Spellbound Wizard. ’

Kim Sung-cheol opened the boundary and pulled Bertelgia out of his pocket.

“Stay here and play for a while. ”

Bertelkia flies right up to the baron and greets him.

“Hello, cutie. ”

Kim Sung-cheol quietly opened the old door and went inside. Tangrit bites a pipe leaning against the rocking chair. His expression seemed surprisingly peaceful, but when he saw Kim Sung-cheol, he glanced at him and opened his mouth.

“What are you doing here? I thought you left. ”

“I heard what you said in the square. ”

Kim Sung-cheol stood by the door and immediately brought it up.

Tangrit breathes a pipe with his eyes closed, exhaling with a sigh of smoke.

“On my way back to Galatia, I saw the Insvants collecting iron and making weapons. One of the refugees said he made weapons for hunting with a face as big as his, but that's bullshit! I've been cooped up on the battlefield, too. How can a lie like that work? ”

“But I don't think that's something to worry about. At that time, the Tower of the Eunuch will protect you. And then there's Carnes, as they say. ”

In response, Tangrit shakes his head in vain.

“The Tower of the Eunuch does not help in a crucial moment. Fifteen years ago. When the Stragglers of the Fatherland attacked the village, they turned away from the voices of those who were screaming for their lives and locked their doors tightly. And I didn't do anything. ”

It's a long story.

The Silver Tower is basically a group that is secular and distant.

Their mission is to keep the tower intact and protect the Book of Catastrophes.

If there is an exterior that poses a threat to the tower, it is best not to lock the door behind them.

“And Kanes, as the villagers say, is a lost cause. There's a rumor going around that Kanes is going to the World Congress. As long as the Insvants aren't fools, they'll pick and attack when there's no Guardians. ”

Tangrit rubs his forehead with a rugged look as if everything were being drawn in front of him.

“Why don't you leave town? Doesn't the villagers have anything to do with treating you like this anyway? ”

Kim Sung-cheol said that and pulled out extra gold coins from his pocket.

“This should be enough to start over from anywhere else. ”

“That's a lot of money. ”

Tangrit opened his mouth as if he was in favor of Kim Sung-cheol's fortune, but soon he quietly shook his head.

“It's an attractive offer, but I can't. ”

“Why?”

When Sung-cheol Kim asked, Tang Grit said with a lonely smile.

“I'm not leaving here. ”

It had more than one word in it.

Kim Sung-cheol seemed to know what the monk really wanted.

‘This man. Looks like you're looking for a place to die. ’

Kim Sung-cheol stared at the shield with the crest of the old kingdom on the corner.

Although the holy kingdom of Rutheginia is called the evil empire, Sung-cheol Kim remembers the virtue of the knights and persistence of the soldiers who defended the dying country.

For one of those articles, restoring honor may be more important than life.

But is it for the best?

Kim Sung-cheol suddenly felt that question.

The villagers won't change his judgment if he sacrifices for the village.

Once stamped, the stamp is not erased.

Since becoming an enemy of the world, Kim Sung-cheol gained that from his hard experience.

The old man in the village also mentioned the word scar.

His honor will not be restored if Tangrit sacrifices for his village.

At best, a few people will have courageous opinions, but their voices have been lingering in the voices of widespread, reproduced hatred and prejudice.

In other words, it is only death that awaits in front of Tangrit.

Moreover, it is not necessary to compare the importance of self-satisfaction with life.

‘It's not a hobby, but I think I need to do it once. ’

Kim Sung-cheol left the hut and headed straight for the refugee camp.

To cut the roots of the problem.

If the refugees are preparing to attack the village, there will probably be a leader.

If we can get that leader to negotiate, we can avoid the planned destruction.

Kim Sung-cheol thought so, and went around the refugee camp looking for sympathy. Hostile gazes were pierced by Kim Sung-cheol, but no one posed any threats.

Soon after, Kim Sung-cheol witnessed an unexpected scene in the middle of the camp.

In the middle of the camp, a single airstrip remained at a low enough altitude to reach a tall tree, and a large number of people were busy moving and unloading their cargo around.

Kim Sung-cheol soon found out the identity of the cargo.

Weapons and armor.

Kim Sung-cheol immediately found a flag in the air.

But there were no identifiable flags on the aircraft.

That is, a stateless ship.

The pirates are doing what they're doing in the Neutral Zone, the Tower of Eunza.

Kim Sung-cheol suppressed his urge to smash his stomach and decided to watch the situation more closely.

Soon, Kim Sung-cheol found an old man who looked like he was the boss. He was a man with a grim look with deep eyes and paranoid gaze like any other Insvant.

Next to him was an elderly man dressed in a splendid robe, who appeared to be one of the crew members of the aircraft, rather than a refugee.

There was not much else going on between them.

Kim Sung-cheol continued to observe the surroundings.

A pale, gloomy Insvant and a distinct coronator were warming their campfires in the corner.

Kim Sung-cheol noticed that they were skilled mercenaries at first glance, though they were modest.

‘You stink. ’

Massive weapons exposure to refugees, plus dispatch of skilled troops.

Things got bigger than I thought.

What Tangrit saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

A group of refugees are trying to create work.

Capturing one leader does not solve the problem. For now, it seemed best to accurately understand the situation and move.

In particular, the priority should be identifying refugee support forces. All you have to do is figure out the identity of the force and then use the right method for each force.

Human empires could use a method of capturing and intimidating chiefs. An ancient empire could use a demonstration of a few struggling sorcerers to make them feel the difference in power.

Of course, Aquaroa won't let any of them live.

Kim Sung-cheol thought so and approached the airspace.

It was time to enter the shadow of the construction.

One of the utensils carrying the man was descending to the ground being dragged by a rope dragged by the men.

Inside, there were people dressed in fancy clothes, but the refugee leader and the wizard who were talking to them seemed important enough to cut the story short and go to greet them.

Kim Sung-cheol hid himself between the cargo that was loaded under the aircraft, thinking he could quickly find out the identity of the people on the device.

Soon the instrument settled on the ground.

The people dressed in gorgeous clothes took their turn to get off the appliance.

Kim Sung-cheol, who was watching them in the shade, felt a strange feeling rising in his mind.

It was because Kim Sung-cheol knew the people who got off the device.

I had a question in Kim Sung-cheol's eyes.

‘No, how did they get here? ’

Their identity is none other than Altuzius Zero of Airfurt and his granddaughter Sarah Zero.

Two people with contact with Kim Sung-cheol suddenly appeared in the vicinity of Eun's tower.

“Tsk, tsk!"

The sound of a small animal came from Sarah Zero's arms, wearing a mask covering half her face, and rushed straight towards Kim Sung-cheol.

A sky squirrel.

It climbed onto Kim Sung-cheol's shoulder, riding on Kim Sung-cheol's leg.

“Go away! Yongseok! Shh! Shhh!”

Bertelkia tries to get rid of it, but the squirrel doesn't budge.

“Oh.”

And the owner of the sky squirrel found Kim Sung-cheol.

“You!”

Sarah Zero ran to Kim Sung-cheol with an unbelievably bright smile, and Altuzius who was standing behind her nodded, watching Kim Sung-cheol with astonishing eyes.

The reunion took an unexpected form.
