Reincarnation of the Sword Master

125. The Fallen (1)

It's not my "light price."

Oak Road leaned back against the chair.

"Don't you know why we're in the North?"

"Human beings reject other races."

"That's right. We settled down here after a persecution."

Elves, orcs, and dwaffes were enslaved by humans in the past. Oak Road squinted his eyes.

There are some who didn`t, but very few. Most humans hate us.”

They came to the north under the command of Rephenia to escape from those humans. In a way, it was only natural to abandon those who didn't want to live among those who could hang out.

"I know."

Asher couldn't have known. Because he saw the scene in his previous life. Nevertheless, there was only one reason for him to speak out.

"But in a twisted world, the differences between races fade away."

a common enemy

At the time of the king's invasion, humans allied with other races. After the death of the demon king, the other people who were tired of it left for the north.

"If you cooperate, you're more likely to stop it."

Orcs' quantity and power were able to exert considerable force during the Ma invasion.

"You're a liar."

Oak Road laughed quietly.

"You said it was light, but it's not light at all. "It's a price that will weigh on my shoulders."

I left for the north because I didn't like humans, but I have to go over there again. It wasn't a light thing.

"The world is twisted anyway. The boundaries are broken, so the humans over there will come this way. That's the practice.”

"I know, but reason and emotion are separate."

"You don't have to worry right now.”

The North has not yet been cleared up.

"When the orcs are finished, make a decision when the North has found stability. Take your time."

"I don't mean to refuse. It's rather cheap in terms of redemption."

The great migration of the species is not a small price, but what Asher did to them was more than that. Oak Road was not brazen enough to reject the offer.

"And what are you going to do now? You don't seem to want to go to the Orcs, do you want to go over there again?"

"I'm going to do my job."

"…Asher."

Pateless, who had been silent, opened his mouth.

"Asher's purpose was to be the dead.”

Asher nodded and Oak Road frowned.

"The ugly ones are your purpose?"

"Do you know?"

"We were there to protect them. Rosellini is the only one who can open it, but... Aha."

Realizing something, the Oak Road bobbed.

"That's why you were with her.”

Oak Road buried himself in a chair with a soft face.

"There is no profit to stop. I don't think you'll hurt Rosellini, and they're my business.”

It was a voice with indifference. Oak Road was also detestable to them, just like Petris.

"Well, I'm going to say goodbye..”

"Not yet."

Asher stopped Oak Road from getting up.

"I still have something to ask."

"That's a lot. What else is it this time?"

"Current North."

The plunderer he met did not know the circumstances inside the North. When I first met Pateless, I wasn't in a situation to ask, and Rossellini knew nothing.

"Where did the heroes of the North go?"

***

The North also has heroes. The number is not much compared to the East, but its influence was the best of the heroes.

"Lephenia is the Queen of the North. If she were here, you wouldn't have had a big problem."

She knew how to respond to Hastoka. Dwarf would not have gone extinct either.

She could have handled any high horse race without too much pressure.

Not doing so meant she disappeared somewhere. However, Asher frowned at the subsequent words of Oak Road.

"She's in her domain."

"…is he there, not gone?"

Orcrod answered calmly.

"Yes, the watchmen said they had never seen her go outside. It means she's in the castle."

“…….”

Lephenia led them as queen of the North. But she didn't come out of her domain while Dwarf went extinct and Orc was ruled by Hastoka?

"Have you been there?"

"Why?"

Oak Road tilted his head as if why he should.

"She must have her job. There is no reason for us to meddle with her, who has done so much already."

Oak Road's tone was more of a consideration than a neglect or indifference.

"Is that so?"

"Yes, hero? It's been a while since I heard that. There was one more hero besides the queen."

"You mean the owner of the sword that touches the sky."

"Yes, he hasn't been seen for years. He's been wandering without territory, but he hasn't really been seen lately.”

The North also did not seem to be different from the East. That's not good. Asher kicked his tongue small.

"That's enough."

Asher woke up.

"Look at you."

"Are you going to leave?"

"You should."

"If we go, it's the land of the fallen. Hmm. All right."

Oak Road nodded.

"I'll show you the way. I'll follow."

***

"Are you all right?"

"Yes, I'm fine."

Rosellini nodded. Oak Road moved forward, swinging his sword drearyly.

"There is no day when you are not okay. Rossellini, I always say it's okay like a parrot."

Pateless couldn't keep up with the Orcs because he couldn't take his eyes off them. When Asher told Rossellini she had to go and leave, she nodded gently.

They walked over the wasteland.

"How long does it take?"

"Not far. We've been guarding them until just recently. It's a walk for just one day. You'll see the cliff in front of you."

There was a small cliff beyond the wilderness.

"It's in there. You can leave it up to Rossellini."

"Well done."

"What. It's a matter of course. But if that's okay, I'll ask you one thing in return."

Oak Road, who was leading the way, turned around. A slender glance directed at Asher.

"Do you know who the ugly ones are?"

Asher nodded. Oak Road's face is slightly distorted.

"Well, do you know what Rossellini is?"

Asher nodded again. Rossellini was still expressionless. On the contrary, Oak Road's face was even more distorted, and now he even showed disgust.

"And you're still looking for those ugly ones?"

"It's not your problem. Okay."

"Yes, you have a goal.I know that."

The Oak Road kicked its tongue.

"I can't say a wise choice. Rossellini, are you really okay?"

"That's all right."

Rosellini, who nodded his head expressionlessly, shook his head.

"What would a meddlesome person do?"

He went forward. After walking for about an hour, I saw a cliff and a small cave under it.

"Here you go. Then I'll say goodbye here."

"Don't forget the price."

"I'm a nosy, but I'm not a liar, so don't worry."

Oak Road has left. Asher reached at the mouth of the cave.

Keying.

The resistance was felt and the settlement was revealed. It was a crystal made by the magic of the elf. Asher's hands are off.

"Mr. Rossellini."

"Okay."

She put her hand in the crystal ball. They manipulated around in defiance of the backlash.

Where there are gods, the bonds return manually, not automatically or divinely. It's so ugly. No, it's not God anymore.

Ensir laughed, and Rossellini, who touched the scaffold, pulled out. The nodule has disappeared.

"Come on in."

She stepped inside.

***

There was nothing inside. candles on the wall, some rock chairs, and a table. That was all.

"That's stark."

When I swept the table, dust came out. Rosellini came up with water, not even tea.

"Here you go.”

She put it down on the table.

"Please wait a moment. I'll tell the guests about Asher, and I'll be back after I get his approval."

"Yes, sir."

Rossellini went inside. Asher stuck her hips to the rock.

"Do you know me?"

[If you've fallen for it, you'll lose contact with him up there. If you're stuck in here, you won't hear from the outside. I'll talk about it one by one by one.]

"It must be hard."

Those who have fallen are not so patient. Asher waited, waving a glass of water. NCIR asked, just in case.

What are you going to do if you refuse to meet?]

“…….”

That's a question I shouldn't have asked.]

Asher closed her eyes. A sign of popularity approached from the other side.

"That's quick."

[... No, it's different. It's not Rossellini.]

"Rosellini! You came! I was waiting!"

The owner of the popular dog appeared with a loud footsteps. a long beard and a small body And an unbecoming muscular body.

The opponent cuckled at Asher.

"…who is it?"

[Dwarf?]

"Visitor."

Asher said. The opponent asked again.

"What about Rossellini?"

"She's going in there."

Asher pointed to Rossellini's direction, Dwarf flopped down with a sulky face.

"I ran to see the state of the decision, but is it too late?"

"Why is Dwarf here?"

This is the land of the fallen. They should not be excepted by them and their creed, but Dwarf said carelessly.

"Have you heard the rumor that we have been destroyed? That's when I ran away. When I came to Rossellini, he accepted it without any burden."

"Survivor."

For now, that`s the case.”

Dwarf answered cheerfully, unlike survivors of an extinct species.

"Ah, it's boring. I just get sick of talking to those ugly guys.”

[What's wrong with his way of talking?

Nsir murmured.

"Human, what is your purpose to come here?"

"I have a question for the poor."

"What do you think those ugly people know? It's a vain thought. Hmm… good."

Dwarf nodded to himself.

"I'm bored too, it's a special service. I am the great Dwarf, Hammeron."

Hammeron. It was a memorable name.

"I will answer your question. Ask me anything."

[Can't you just ignore it?]

In a rather earnest tone, Enshir said. However, the suggestion was quite attractive.

"Can you look at two swords?"

"Sword! Take it out! There is no weapon I don't know."

[Oh, no]

Nsir muttered with disapproval, but Asher caught Nsir and Fenr. As soon as I tried to take out the two swords, the sound of footsteps rang over there.

"There you are. Mr. Hammeron!

"Oh! Rossellini!"

Hammeron suddenly changed his expression and ran to Rossellini.

"Long time no see! Where have you been?"

"I went outside for a while. Long time no see."

"That's hard, but you're better than those ugly ones. Well, let's talk about what we've been through."

Hammeron urged his grandson with a happy face like a grandfather talking to him. But Rossellini pushed him away and turned to Asher.

"I'll tell you in a minute. First of all, I have a message. Mr. Asher."

"Yes."

"They said yes."

At her quiet words, Asher's eyes sank.
