Fresh breeze blows through.
At the foot of the hill at dawn, slightly sumptuous in the morning. A stone city stretched along the vast lake.
Ancient or medieval winds. You can also see tall towers and beautiful arched water bridges.
... all of which were ancient and abandoned.
The roof of the building has collapsed by the way, and the lacquer on the wall has peeled off unbroken.
From the cobblestone gap in the street, grass stretches, green crawls and moss tangle and stick to the building here and there.
The streets where men once had their livelihoods decayed with greenery.
All of it was gently illuminated by the rising morning sun.
… this, on a hill overlooking the city, created the tomb of Marie and Brad.
Because there are many memories of this temple hill overlooking the lake and the abandoned city.
So I thought I'd build a grave here.
…………
And a simple funeral.
I placed a large stone instead of a tombstone and made it a tombstone.
I want to come back here sometime.
Although I can't see Marie or Brad anymore.
Though I know they have returned to the circle.
But at least, I want to report to the grave.
I saw it one day, like a dream.
I want to introduce you to friends and family.
Our own children are alive and well, so that we can feel safe.
I want to grow up like that and come back.
"… So now, a little goodbye."
Put your hands together and pray silently for a while.
I'm coming, I spoke to the two graves.
"Are we done yet?
"……… yeah."
Nod.
"…… so."
So, what are you saying about something like this?
"Why isn't Gus dead?"
"This is terrible. I didn't know you wished for the death of an old man who was old and short...... ghost grandson!!
"Who's the ghost grandson? It's sad, already!... I just thought that if Gus died, the treasure he'd accumulated would be mine!
"A ghost grandson! The ghost grandson confessed.
A little twisted together.
It's been a long time since I've been able to get separated from Gus like this.
"Heh heh. I'm just talking about giving you a use for useless money. Isn't that right, Uncle?
When you say that deliberately and in a disgusting manner,
"Um, so is that. Okay, take it."
"To…………?
All of a sudden, the gas came back to his face and pressed the bag.
Give up inside.
The glitter of gold and silver dazzles my eyes in the morning sun.
Gold, gold, silver, gold, gold, gold……
"Gems are worthless because they are missing or hurt when they are bumped. Don't be careful with the controls.
In case of theft or water damage, keep the small pieces in your clothes. "
A bag containing even larger pieces of small gemstones individually twisted.
"And ornaments are important, in" The Property You Can Carry. "
You don't wear them in insecure places or in mountain forests, and you dress classy in places you don't. "
Rings, bracelets, hair decorations. Buttons, brooches, pins, belts.
Decorative string with jewels, woven sash of gold and silver yarn.
They are all extremely sophisticated and sophisticated.
………………
Wow, wow. (i) Property.
"What is this? YEAH YEAH!!?
I almost took them off by surprise, and retain them awww.
"What a fortune. I'll lend it to you without interest. Don't make it any better."
I told you how to do that, Gus laughs.
"No, but, because………………"
"It's the same with the money that didn't go around and stare. I don't like starchy money.
Didn't I tell you? "Live and die properly," he said.
Gus shrugged his shoulder.
"Keep him alive, and turn him around until he's done his job."
It must be gassy and obsessive.
"I can't see it anymore..."
"Gas......"
So when I bowed my head down, I received the gold and silver treasure.
This is the last thing we receive from the gas……
"Well, I'll be gone for another ten years."
.................. what?
◆
"No, sora, so what? … there must be a problem with the sealed guardianship of the King."
Gus says if you let the demon go.
"So last night, I made a little bargain with the god of revelation.
Until ten years before the Undead got back on track, I had forgiveness for wandering around this city. "
I let my mouth pound like a fish. [M]
Hey, what are you doing, this guy............!?
I mean, Master Gracefield, what are you doing? No, I know you need it!
"For once, as a member, I hear it turns into something like GraceFeel's manners"
If you do look closely, there are signs of impurity fading from the gas.
Rather, it is a sign of sacred spirituality.
…… but, if so,
They said, "Look at that."
As I read the idea, Gus said.
"If they give me ten more years, I'll get greedy. Untrained.
If you could have been there for ten years, it's been ten years. Ten more years. At least stay with me until your troubles pass away...
They died because they knew they were going to think so. "
They dressed up, too, but their hearts were the same as the ones that cried and called out, Gus said.
………………
When they say that, nothing, I can't say.
Those two... those two didn't do anything wrong.
Until the end. I knew there was a way.
"…… such a greedy position is not enough for this old man"
Saying so, Gus shrugged his shoulder.
Sure, Gus would be able to do that.
Serve as guardian of the seal.
The tenth year of the due date came, and when it did, it must pass away lightly without complaining of a word of dissatisfaction.
... Grandpa Gus is always a rock.
"After ten years... what do you do with the seal?
"Think about it by then."
... God, it's a terrible round throw.
"It seems that faith in Gracefield is somewhat obsolete outside.
He said he spent a lot of time just intervening on us. "
"……… Huh?
"The future of the Lightning God depends on your hard work."
More and more tangible and intangible luggage as I realize it.
Ko, is this the fate of misery............!!
"... we'll need the money anyway. Take it, take it."
"Yeah. Seems like there's a lot of work to be done, so thank you very much..."
Once again, the gold and silver treasures are re-regulated by including them in all parts of the luggage.
Thick up and down. Sturdy boots in leather gloves. Belt pouch in a large, pockety backpack. One more pair of shoes.
Blankets, hand pans, preserved food, water bags, working knives and hand axes, parchment on a pocket pen, dressed in rope, thick canvas for camping.
It's also important to have a few spirits instead of noticing the details, cloths large and small on needles and threads, and small chunks of rock salt.
The armor was equipped by one of the hundred heroes in the Battle of the Immortals, borrowing the "True Silver (Mithril)" clasp (shirt).
Whatever you want, this is extremely light.
Even though it's sturdy, I hardly feel like I'm wearing armor.
Weave a thinner piece to hide the clasp. Weave more hooded capes there and fasten them with a gassed cape.
Between the cloths of the hood, I sewed a talisman that wrote "The Word of Defense," and if I had to, resonated the mana so that I could protect my head to some extent.
The combination of luggage weight and equipment strength is urgently needed because the Immortal has put his eyes on him.
I think it would be really useful to have storage that infinitely contains items... and computer RPGs from previous life.
Well, there's nothing convenient like that, so I just have to work hard without it.
And the weapons are the short-speared "Moon", the one-handed sword "Eat Up (Overeater)", and the circular shield.
The Moon has a decorative string of gas on the root of the tip, and I'll pretend to be a little clean.
Even though it is inferior to "eating everything", it is the first loot and convenience, and he has an attachment to it.... I have an attachment!
On the contrary, "What Eats Up", which helped me in the War of Immortality, will be wrapped around an old cloth and patterned leather, sorry.
... like Brad said, it works too viciously on top of being too tall to pull out dangerous stuff.
It's not like I usually use it as my main weapon. It's only my wife's hand.
The circle shield was not sure whether to carry it or not, but it came in handy many times in plain sight, so I'm afraid given the lack of this.
The shield is plain, and although it was often negligible in previous life comics and such, it would be a big difference if it didn't exist.
For mobile use only, I put on my belt to make it feel easy to handle, but the weight burden seems cool.
… these outfits have been in place and ready for some time.
I remember Marie and Brad working together a lot.
…………
"Tomorrow, Will."
Gus called out as he repacked his luggage with the final confirmation, remembering the two of them and snuggling.
"If you're going out into the outside world, you'll need a surname.
The name William was given by two people. I think the last name will be given to you. "
"?... It's unusual for Gus to say that. Yeah, fine."
There is no particular reason to reject it.
Think of it as the last goodbye from the gas and decide to accept it.
"Shall we leave it to the habits of some of the tribes in the elves and halflings?"
To? Elves or halflings? What the hell...
"In those tribes, the names of the parents overlap with their surnames."
Gus said that to me with a solemn expression.
"Maribrad.... William Maribrad."
I was told.
In my mouth, I'll roll that word.
Marie Blood.
William Marie Blood.
... Somehow, as I put it, it's getting tight.
"Take two names and go. I've already enjoyed wandering enough."
I will enjoy the rest without water for parents and children, but it is good.
An old man called Wandering Sage shrugs his shoulder.
"Yeah, thanks. … I really liked that last name."
Final checking of the baggage was also completed.
Wrap your belt pouch around it, hang your sword, take charge of the load and shield of the backpack, and hold a short spear.
I have good physical abilities, but I have a lot of luggage. This kind of weight comes.
"……… OK. All right, well, be well. I'll be back."
"Uhm."
When Gus and I broke up, we went down the hill.
Looking back,
"- And I'll keep a G in my middle name!
And he shouted, and let him hold up the edge of his mouth.
"Stupid mon! My initials are A, so what did you learn in class?
I can hear Gus laughing.
"Because gas is gas!
Grandpa Augustus is so hard to call for!
Shards laughed back, screaming like that.
"Humph, then you're a hopeless grandson!
… Goodbye. William G. Maribrad!
"Goodbye, Gus! Another day, absolutely!
Wave at each other.
Then, looking forward.
Without looking back, I walked out.
The river that leads from the lake beside the city has traces of old streets to follow.
In the meantime, let's go down along this that leads north.
- In the bright morning light, I walked out to the outside world.
"The Endless Paladin, Chapter One: The Boy of the City of the Dead."
