Skeleton Soldier Couldn't Protect the Dungeon

439 Blind Moon, Sunset Flower (16)

Every time I climb the foothills, I feel faint everywhere.

The presence of slow-moving beasts in the rocky foothills.

Birds flapping their wings as if they were sitting on branches on a sloping hill and shattering their short lives.

But above all, there are those who stand between the trees, over the rocks, and under the clouds on grass with their feet most pronounced.

We pushed forward.

I walked by the sunset, but by the time I found the first villager, the blue moonlight was already setting.

Along the wet mountain path in the moonlight, folk settled on the dirt.

Even though it was evening, there was a light leaking out separately from the people in the village, and some people were going up and down the mountain.

Humans on the road were dressed in yellow with dark hair.

“Keep going and you'll be found. Should I hide myself?”

“Let's go first. I need to see the reaction." The baron nods. As we keep going forward, the man who pushed his head to make us flinch yells in surprise.

“Waaaah!”

The man ran away.

Their outfits and faces were clearly different from those of the Union or Empire.

It was a look I had never seen before.

In the moonlight, a man who was lying on a big rock got up and ran home.

Let's keep going.

People who wear a style of clothing rarely walk around.

“Who's XX?”

“Outside XX first X XXXXX. ”

“Could it be XXX XX XXXX XXX XX?"

“XX is XX. ”

They gather, one by one, to look at us and mutter in the same defence.

There were a lot of strange words mixed together.

Is it really a copper shield? ’

It seemed a little different in structure than what Chandler absorbed.

It was different from the language of the concierge.

Even though it's the same language.

It felt like a very old language.

“I'm told I've never seen anyone come from outside. ”

I gave the erl a fair guess as to what they were saying.

The villagers are following me, wearing armor and riding horses, not being able to get near the Marquis.

"Detection."

It is the same as the previous measurement.

All body reactions tell us that they are human.

“Humans, aren't they? ”

“I feel the same way. ”

The baron nods.

But I couldn't let my guard down.

I didn't notice anything strange about the lampshadows lying by the side of the road.

Above all, a human village on the inside of a hunting ground full of monsters.

It's very suspicious.

What kind of secrets are hidden?

Above all.

We're getting closer to the location indicated on the map Gizgerai gave us.

The map shows no town, but you can see it from the slopes and foothills.

By coincidence, nothing can be explained.

This is the center of the town.

Several dense civic houses are densely populated.

In some chimneys, white smoke rises to make a late meal.

Around that time, the crowd following us was making quite a long line.

Heehee…….

Milk cried a little.

“He's hungry. ”

Can you even interpret a horse crying? ’

The horse I was riding was getting slow.

“I need some food. ”

It was that moment.

The villagers who followed us suddenly surrounded us in a circle.

“What is it?”

“I don't think they're trying to attack. ”

It won't work, but the villagers were all empty-handed in the first place.

There is no panic.

Even an immature child could throw stones at an outsider, but nothing like that happened.

While observing them in a strange way, the horses only surrounded us because they gave us weak spots.

“X food! X food! ”

“Come here! ”

‘I wonder if you've noticed the situation. ’

It's impressive.

They gesture as if to approach us and come this way.

Can I go?

I traded eyes with the Marquis.

He nods cautiously.

“Let's check. ”

Following them, you see a heap of fodder in the barn where the cows are.

A man with a pointed beard moves his cow to the side compartment and points at the foods with his hands.

"Detection."

Fodder is just fodder.

No suspicious components detected.

The monarchs also debated whether the examination was complete or not.

“Hee-hee-hee!”

Milk sniffs, sniffing, and heads straight into the foam.

The horse I was riding shoved its head into the foam.

Me and the baron jump on the horse and let them eat without any pressure.

During the meal, there was a hairy man coming out with two big hands.

I held out my leaves and pushed them forward.

A blade of grass.

I can't even talk about this.

“What, eat? ”

I said it using a simple word and the fur shocked me.

“X XXXX to say XX? ”

“A little., ’

The fur shakes its head with its eyes wide open.

“xWell done, Hax! ”

‘It's definitely different. ’

So far, it became clear.

The language spoken by Humans in this town is clearly different from that known by the Empire as Comrade Defense.

The fur unfolds its huge blade of grass.

You point to the inside. Inside the grass is a beaded bread.

“No poison. ”

After studying the bread lightly, he took it and chewed it up and swallowed it. And he mixed his hands and said,

“Anything else? ”

Fur smiled as if he understood that.

I felt the temperature in my smile.

He beckons us to come into the room.

“Are you going? ”

“I even fed her. Let's go inside.”

The cozy house I saw outside felt spacious on the inside, whether I was surprisingly good at using the space.

‘There's a second floor too.... ’

Out of the chunky ledge, the man makes a pot of rice without a word.

In a big pot, there's all this grain and stuff.

There was a mixture of herbs.

‘There is no poison. ’

Clean.

I feel no hostility at all.

The monarch continues to make a bad face, but he slowly starts moving his spoon to see if he can't find anything suspicious.

‘But... ’

I felt a sense of camaraderie from the man who started eating carelessly.

‘What...? ’

‘What a relief. ’

“Does a guy like you eat food? That's good.”

“I fought and starved. ”

There is a strange feeling of hypocrisy in the voice that seems natural.

“Do you think I'm a magician like you? ”

And a funny-looking ceremony.

‘Umm…. ’

Suddenly I know the identity of that emotion.

‘It's not dangerous. ’

For the first time, you are by the Marquis's side and do not feel threatened.

‘Strange.’

I thought for a moment it might have been a buildup of intimacy, but it wasn't like that.

Intimacy.

I shook my head to get that funny word out of my head.

The floor slowly warms up when the baron finishes his meal.

I tapped the bottom of the wool that had spread the linen naturally.

“Here. Grow up. ”

I think I simply said it because I care to understand.

‘That's funny.'

No matter how much you feed the horses.

Even after eating.

There is no way that Leandro is doing well in this unsuspecting town.

They'll tell you to get out there and search the place marked on the map right now.

I mean...

It was time to get up from his seat, anticipating his natural response.

“I don't think it's a trap. I don't know what this town looks like... but let's take a break. ”

"What?"

I couldn't help but wonder.

“S-sleeping? ”

“Yes, I need some sleep. ”

“Are you out of your mind?"

But he looked at me quietly as if to say something.

“After a long voyage and getting off the ship, I've been fighting all day. ”

“There can be no fatigue.” Since when?

You know, the whole fatigue thing.

I wonder if he got it in his mouth.

Am I overreacting? ’

Maybe.

Maybe he's lying down in peace because I'm there to protect him.

That's... funny.

Either way, there seems to be a change.

After a quiet and cozy night at the foot of the mountain.

Tonight, the whole town was suffocated as if it had decided to be quiet, and the starlight seemed to be flowing slowly.

Grrr.

I went outside and drew my knife.

Aims at the air like a warning against an invisible enemy.

‘It's suspicious.'

From start to finish.

None of them are suspicious.

Isn't it obvious that something's fishy? Is the Marquis crazy?

‘No, he's got a good feeling.’ Much sharper than me.

He smells like magic.

If that's okay.

Maybe it's really nothing. I hesitated outside for a while.

‘But, should I move alone... ….’ But I don't want to move around with Leandro sleeping.

Is it going well?

Whoo-hoo!

You opened your inventory and removed Lena's pendant.

Lena's not around anymore.

Her sharp advice is with me in the form of a pendant.

I whispered as I touched the familiar pendant.

“Implement judgment. ”

[Current Setup: [Automatic Activation at Death and Corresponding Crisis]

[Do you want to change the settings?]

[Not valid for 7 days after activation.]

[Ability Used: < Crisis Evasion (B) >]

A special level of ability for a woman who has been breathing in all kinds of danger since childhood. In animal intuition, learning and reasoning are combined.

“Do not use. Leave it alone."

[Keep default settings.]

Pot.

The status window disappears.

Nothing rises.

I had the pendant hanging on my neck.

‘If it's dangerous... I'll warn you. ’

No response.

At least my life is not in danger.

‘Eventually, the pendant is at a detectable level. ’

Hrrrrrrr!

Something meaningless and feeble made me feel light black paint in the air for no reason.

You circle around the house while maintaining the area of flames.

It is certainly not excessive doubt.

By the way.

‘Why is everyone so calm? ’

When I went around the house until morning and went inside.

Knock, knock.

I heard a knock on the door.

“Excuse me.”

It was a sophisticated continental universal term.

The visit was open.

A tall, clean man smiles and waits.

“Where are you from? ”

“An empire.”

“Ah! Adventurers. But I haven't seen anyone who came here yet... ”

“Where did you learn to speak? ”

I stepped up and hung up.

Originally, I thought it was an ambassador for the Marquis and spilled his guts.

I'm only making a very warm and comfortable face if I slept well last night.

“You mean me? I studied the book by myself. ”

“There's another speaker in town who speaks a common language, and we practice with him. ”

You're that good at this?

I doubt it, but keep asking.

If it wasn't for this guy, he wouldn't have any water.

“What is this town? ”

Leandro, who was quiet, intervenes.

“I'd like to ask you who you are. ”

“We are... the indigenous people who lived here from the beginning. Is that weird?”

“The game you're looking for isn't here. ”

Hunting.

The word resounded strangely.

“The Guardians are guarding this mountain from any monsters. ”

“The guardian god...? ”

“Monsters... They won't let humans in either, but I wonder what happened to you two. ”

r

Let's just say this guy's story is compelling.

The guardian god.

You're talking about the monster we almost killed.

If we tell them that here, we'll turn them against us.

‘You have to be quiet. ’

Don't say it.

“It wasn't there when we came. ”

“There's a dangerous man in pursuit. ”

“When I came here, there was nothing but a battle.

Nothing. It looks like the guy we're after broke through the guardian god's lines. ”

[Requiring lie privilege.]

[Title: Storyteller Activated.]

[Wisdom is applied!]

[Increases the chance to succeed in lying quite well.]

[It's not just about the conversation. Your attitude will be genuinely trusted by the other party.]

[Reduces the likelihood of the opponent feeling camouflaged.]

“I can't crack it.... ”

The long-haired man tilts his head.

“That's how dangerous he is. Are you the head of this place? ”

But I think I've given it enough.

‘Thank goodness.'

‘Then why was the Grand Duke so quiet? ’

I drooled over Leandro.

However, the physical response is normal.

‘Maybe it's the mood. ’

A long-haired man in blue.

He looked at me.

“No, I speak only continental languages, and the bride is at the center of the village. Would you like to take a look outside with me? ”

‘If this is the center of the village... …. ’

Right where we came from.

It is clear that the existence of the bride will reach the core of the clue.

“Can I meet the bride? ”

The man looks troubled and looks at the Marquis alternately.

“The bride is busy with something important right now. We won't see each other anytime soon.

I'm sure you do... I'll show you around town instead. ”

“Good.”

Overall, a new clue will come to light.

The man showed us around the village one by one.

It was a peaceful and rustic town.

In the morning, there were more children in the streets. At first, instead of being afraid of the street, he approached us much earlier than the adults, glowing curious eyes and shouting.

“xx! xx! ”

‘I don't understand again. ’

This is Chandler's island.

The copper defenses absorbed by Chandler should be working here.

‘Maybe……. ’

This may be the language spoken on the mainland.

Whether they had never seen a horse before, they looked surprised around two horses.

Mi-young played wonderfully well for the kids who seemed excited.

‘That... Was that the way it was? ’

As you've seen so far.

Apparently, it was dirty for the sailors on board.

It seems odd that an aggressive creature would behave like that in this town alone.

“Hee hee!”

The children around the dairy smiled as they rubbed their big mouths wide and their mane hair on their faces.

‘Something……. ’

It's a familiar sensation.

I feel the sensation of being caught.

“When can I meet the bride? ”

“Oh, I'm going to tell you now. He wants to meet you. ”

It is as if he had spoken at that moment.

“Me……? ”

“Yes.”

The man nods.

“Only you. He wants to see you. ”
