Skeleton Soldier Couldn't Protect the Dungeon

Maybe it's because I went through something really crazy in Erastor. I was a little nervous and came out of the spider's den.

Of course, there is no one but the cave.

I walked back to where the box of gold coins had been buried and opened the lid.

All three other hideouts are combined.

I wonder what he was going to do with all this money.

I took a closer look inside the box.

There is something inside.

Cards?

On the bottom of the box, you see a black card.

On the card, there was a white letter with one pentagram.

< Make a metal bed for yourself in a wobbly world.

I stamped the card with my hand. I feel a stubborn material.

It was a card I had seen before. When I visited Grasmear, I received a card from a merchant named Jinnee Yube.

The phrases and designs are the same.

I recalled that time.

< This is the introduction to my guild.

A group of great merchants trying to figure out how to deal with their customers' wishes.

< It doesn't work at all. Collect those five stars and you can be our customer from then on.

‘One star.

Yublam's bald guard commander must have had some information about the suspicious Merchants Guild.

Was he trying to save up money to buy a trade union membership?

I took the card with me and picked up a chest of Doubloons. If you put them together, they might be useful somewhere.

Jinnee Yube from the Merchants Guild seemed like a trustworthy human being.

If you stay in Grasmear, you may meet again.

If you get the same card from him,

‘Star’ becomes two.

I took Rubia, who was waiting up in the tree, to Yublam.

Now I can see the gray walls of a familiar city. I passed the snow-covered wheat field in front of the castle.

I have a different feeling than when I came here before.

Yublam is no longer a stranger.

No. I've been down the back alley a long time and I'm not going to send Rubia out there alone.

You follow Rubia, hiding in plain sight.

I won't be seen again. Horses like this.

[Stealth +30%.]

A translucent window rises in the air.

It was a message that Hidden Skills were enhanced even further. I was surprised to see you again.

But I educated Rubia to pretend not to care about 'communication'.

Since we knew where she was surprised, educating her happened a little faster than before.

‘No matter how talented I look at it.

Rubia and I casually approach the guards.

Biceps.

Using the Detection Skill, the sound of the carotid artery running near the guards' necks comes alive.

In the old days, I hid in the far grass.

At a distance that wouldn't fit, I was aiming at a crossbow with a skill I couldn't even hit.

But this time it's completely different.

A street that can be slashed with a dagger right behind it.

I won't scream. I won't scream.

You don't even know what happened, and it will disappear in a convulsion.

If you do anything stupid.

But the guards saw Rubia and didn't even joke about it.

I just gestured like a nuisance.

“Uh, go in to get in. ”

You let her through the gate with such ease that it was futile.

I don't feel anything suspicious.

They weren't that unusual when Lena came in.

Strange thing is, it's too simple to finish the inspection.

The traveler may have a bystander attitude that doesn't matter what happens in this city.

Yuck.

It was when Rubia entered the open gates.

“This is Eublam.

Rubia walks down the street, a small murmur. It looked like the streets were full of spectacles.

I felt like I had been reading books my whole life.

I left her alone without asking her where to go.

When I first came to this city, Rubia was brutally murdered.

It was time to think about what was involved.

A very fatigued middle-aged woman talks to Rubia.

“Miss, are you alone? ”

“I see. What? ”

He might be suspicious.

I think this is where the abduction started. I pulled out my knife and tensed up.

However, the woman with a dull face only sighed lightly.

“Whew.

“What's the matter? ”

“Just turn around. Get out of the city naturally. This is no place for outsiders. ”

"What?"

It is surprising that a concerned human has emerged. I wonder if there's been a fat girl here before?

Did I hear the same warning?

“Why are you doing this? ”

“Lady, just listen to me. We have to get out of here. ”

“Thank you for your concern. But I have some things that I have to buy. ”

Rubia said in a determined manner.

“I can't talk long. Get out of here. I warned you. ”

The woman who looked around quickly disappeared into the back alley.

I heard the warning. Are we going out now?

I glimpsed Rubia.

She shakes her head decisively.

You're not alone.

Why would I run? I'm going to buy some armor.

Skeleton.?

I know. Rubia never leaves the city, even if she comes alone. It seemed to pull my mind tightly from both sides.

Despite listening to warnings.

She stayed here to buy me some armor, and then she suffered such a tragedy.

A mass of self-loathing and grief pours down between the bones like sand.

I couldn't answer Rubia properly, asking what was going on.

While walking slowly, she suddenly spoke to me.

It smells weird on the street.

It's opium.

Opium? Wow. On second thought, yes. I read in the book that it smells so light and sweet.

You really don't know anything. Skeleton must have been an amazing person in his past life!

I lost my words in the thought of not being able to protect Rubia in my previous life. Rubia is silent for a moment, then points forward.

There it is. The forge.

She was right.

You hear a hammer tapping directly in front of you.

I see an old man with a familiar face.

‘Hello again. ’

He was an old man with eyes and white beards who weren't addicted to opium.

When Lena came with me, she took a peek at us.

The old man who handed the fire to us was standing near the blacksmith tapping the hammer, overseeing the work.

Rubia approaches the forge display. The old man with the white beard slumps over her and asks.

“What are you here to buy? ”

“Can I see your armor? ”

Whether you know she's the daughter of the assassinated lord Erastor, the old man is quite favorable.

“Will you come this way? ”

He introduced things one by one.

‘Is this it.,

I soon found out the armor Rubia bought while I was in the shelf.

It was long wearing armor, so I could recognize it easily.

“This would be perfect. ”

It was not broken.

She picked out that armor.

“Hmmm. It's expensive, but you'll be okay.

It's his masterpiece. You won't find something this size anywhere. ”

“How much?”

I have plenty of money.No matter how expensive it is, I only need one Silver Ingot.

“Home.

The hesitant old man opens his mouth.

“I sense a strange energy in the young lady. I think someone's looking out for you. ”

“Is that so?"

He's definitely an old man with a good sense. The last time, I found out who was inside the armor.

It is a blacksmith enough to make 'fire'.

“How much?”

“You only get 150 lotys. ”

If it's 150.

When I first met Rubia, my allowance was 72 Loti.

Does not fit at all

How did you get it back then? ’

In a state of embarrassment, Rubia pulls the wallet out of her arms.

“Please.”

It was the first wallet I had ever seen.

I'll have plenty of hiding places.

No, I insist. It was raised in a coffin, and I had to buy it.

It's embarrassing logic.

I'll live here. Please take good care of him.

I was ashamed of the past.

If you think about it, the armor in front of your eyes is very good. It's not enough to get you 72 Loti.

200, 300.

It's not weird.

‘Maybe he bought it the other day.

When you think about it, she's also the lord's daughter.

He must not have escaped the Erast without some emergency money.

And I generously used that bounty on my behalf.

“I'll make the Dagger a service. Put your arms around me.

‘You want me to be careful. ’

I think I bought something good for cheap!

Rubia is pleased.

I'd like to dress you right away.

Particles from the inn.

I looked back at the old man.

‘You killed me once.

He handed the fire over and didn't teach me how to use it on purpose.

I wanted to let you see how well you're doing for Rubia.

It was then.

"That one?"

You can see a small black barrel of iron on the shelf.

A Grasmear fire.

‘Not home. Is this where they keep it? ’

You may keep them in your store when you are in the store and at home.

Or maybe they have two.

Anyway, this is a foreclosure.

The old man looks at Rubia and smiles at her, pretending to be a good man. He snatches away the Thrissle Black Iron injector.

Lee must have sensed it.

‘I need to dilute it properly. ’

There's no reason not to take it.

I stopped in front of a three-story white building.

The inn. This is the only one.

Is something wrong?

No, let's go in.

The door to the inn is reopened with a beep. This is the inn Rubia entered on her own.

Lena had changed ownership when she arrived, and it's been a long time since Rubia died.

This is the exact time Rubia was killed.

This is when the innkeeper, who is crippled, sold customers.

“Oh, good to see you. Welcome, sir. I'll carry all your luggage. ”

The second familiar face I saw on Ublam.

An innkeeper.

He has a clean face.

It has no severe bruising, and no excessive blood flows from the ears.

I greet guests with a soft smile.

“Oh, that's good.

Rubia turns around with her armor on.

At that moment, the innkeeper's eyes flash like snakes.

It's cold.

I can't believe I'm looking back at her.

"Oh my. Did you come into the inn with your eyes open?" ’

“Phew, customer. There was only one room left. Come here.”

"Detection."

Of course it was a lie. All the rooms on the third floor were empty.

And...

When I came with Lena, all I could feel was confusion.

But now it's clear. I can feel a pretty big space in the basement.

‘I have to check it this time. ’
