The Traveling Hero Won’t Let the Innkeeper’s Son Escape

Ruth and the others, who entered the horizontal hole from the dungeon, proceeded halfway down the winding road. There was no change, no demons, luckily Ruth remembered it accurately because it was a road that people didn't go through at all, and it was a long road but we quickly reached our destination.

"You really have a vertical hole."

Upon arrival in front of the vertical hole leading to the cave, Karen extended the place greatly with earthwork so that everyone could wait. Now you won't have to worry about your body hurting even if you just sit still for a little while.

"I see what's going on out there."

I'll get in touch with Karen by the magic trick she also used to find Ruth with her father outside. The sun is starting to turn red gradually outside, but it seems a little early to take action. The bandits and villagers are still glued together. Looks like the thieves are switching people inside and out on a shifting basis.

But the villagers are not just waiting, they are preparing raiding units behind the woods where they cannot see them.

The village chiefs were after the moment they were urged to serve dinner before the sun went down.

"And it still sounds crazy."

"What is it?

Ruth and the others had a light meal with the portable food they brought over. When Ruth hands over the homemade smoke to everyone, Karen points her lips as she bites it off.

"The more time passes, the more disadvantaged they are, but there are no signs of ever being upset."

According to the story, as always, the bandits don't seem to break their spare attitude. Besides, he seemed to be buying time by ripping off remarks from this one.

"There must be something…………………"

"But you don't even feel weird from the hole here, do you?

"I don't have a demon or anything like that."

"Like a rescue coming or something?

"Can you come to the back of this mountain on the right path? Well, even if that's the case, don't let the fathers in the woods notice you."

The village chief seems to be of the opinion that there will be something as well as Ruth and the others, but he can't even imagine exactly what it is. But that's why they're raising their guard, and they're calling more people than Ruth and the others had planned when they came out.

"…… This meat is delicious."

"You know, Yuan, I don't know what you think of meat in this emergency...... but it's really delicious. Cat meat. Ruth, your homemade?

"Yes, my father had custody of the portable food."

"Though we are better off when it comes to sunny issues. I like this one, too."

"Don't admit to losing with flavor. butcher."

"Ugh... so, but, uh, if Ruth gives it to us, my little dad might tell us. Then you can make a delicious, sun-dried meat from Hashi Village, right, Ruth?

"Ha ha, my dad won't tell me as much as I went to visit Daniel's house. I told my son I wouldn't teach him to season until we got married."

"Oh, no, I said………….."

When Ruth was putting his mind to the secret flavor, for some reason Daniel was twitching, and the frizz next door slapped him on the shoulder. Colt next to him deliberately took his gaze off, and Karen, who was in the front of Ruth, had an eye to look at the poor thing, and Yuan, who was across from Daniel and Ruth, was rarely laughing.

"Don't do more than that, Daniel. You're gonna get hurt badly."

"Hmm. That's unusual..."

"This is so... you're the same!

"Don't compare the man you've been with in the village for twenty years to me you just met a few days ago"

"Let's do this………………."

For some reason, Yuan and Daniel started fighting again. I said to the two of them, who started to say, "I thought these two were not close, but they're actually close? 'The more my imagination swelled up to strangers, it was a sight I was totally used to, and Ruth no longer cared what she said had to do with me.

Eventually, after a light meal and a break, we got in touch with the outside and talked about going downstairs.

The cave that Ruth and the others are trying to reach is huge enough to cover themselves up, and there are some big rocks in this vertical hole.

But I tried to decide the first member to come down, and I rubbed it again as promised.

Ultimately, Fritz's opinion that residents of the village of Mikana were better off in order to be kept out of the noise was adopted, and Yuan tried to get off - but Karen made an immediate stillness.

"It's another commotion when Yuan, who is treated like a gezizizi in the village, gets down. The eagle will come down."

Yuan, unable to say back to the words, backed off very hard. Ruth keeps a note in his head to try to follow up with him later, as he seemed a little rounded his back without saying it back.

"There's one room in the cave, but the end part of this vertical hole that goes on should be able to hide itself because of the rocks that popped out"

"Okay, rocks. I'll take a peek before I go down, then I'll look."

If there are seven people down there, they should be clustered in the center, not at the end, so there is a good chance that no one has come to the end. There's also a chance that no one will notice when Karen gets down.

When Karen fixed the rope using earthwork near the vertical hole, she was caught upside down from it and peered down into her face.

'I haven't received any light over here, and I can't hear you. I can feel the signs, but I think we should stay close to this hole.'

He has spoken to Ruth in a magical way, without ever speaking out with his face just right. I hear Karen hid in the shadows of the rocks as she went down. After a while Karen gave me a signal. Turn off the lamp and slowly everyone descends.

(As you can imagine, you're not on guard around here.)

At the end of the day when Ruth descended, everyone was gathered in the shadow of a large rock at the edge of a cave with some rocks rolling on the dirt wall. Ruth rushes over like everyone else and peeks across the rock.

On the other side, the cave was burning in the center, not dark. But there wasn't much light to where Ruth and the others were, and he didn't seem to realize who they were. A man was sitting on a stone toward one of them at the entrance on the left hand side, asking what was going on outside. And the four girls were solidified in the front wall of Karen and the two girls were found a little further away from it, close to Ruth and the others. The four girls looked healthy though they were threatened, but the two girls are looking a little strange. One sits, but the other lays with his head on her lap, wearing a cloth. I felt sick. I haven't noticed Ruth and the others in close proximity.

"Grace!?

Even as I praised Karen, I found out that the girl lying down was her sister Grace. I'm sure you judged it by the condition of the legs out of the cloth.

(Is that kid, Mr. Grace, okay?

I felt like I could see why Grace was acting with the bandits without doing anything about her being strong. Because of that, I guess I was sick, injured, and unable to move my body freely.

Only time passed without a signal. But you couldn't stay jizzy because you were worried, Karen makes sure the thief doesn't look back before letting his body out of the rock shade.

Ruth and the others were surprised by the sudden action.

Naturally, four girls notice Karen's appearance, but as soon as he put his index finger in his mouth, he shut up. Those girls would normally make a fuss about the appearance of someone they knew, but there was either the power of the popular Karen, or his eyes shining, but he was desperately holding his mouth to keep his voice off.

Karen stays put and heads to Grace and the others she hasn't noticed yet.

"Ah............!

A slightly plump girl who was on Grace's side lying down - from Karen's story, a childhood tame Lumia notices the appearance and gives a relief expression. And I shook my head wide and stopped Karen trying to speak to Grace.

When Karen glanced at the thief at the look of the crap, she dived into her voice and asked questions. It would not have reached the thief because the volume is finally audible even with a good ear Ruth.

"What happened to Grace?

"On the first day, I was threatened and about to be drugged..."

"Medicine?"

"It was liquid. They smelled weird... they said they were experimenting."

Lumia still seemed to cry, but still desperately calmed down and told the story.

On the first day of his capture, he said everyone was about to be forced to take medication by the men, but Grace stole the men's eyes and took all the rations himself to dispose of them. Looks like they threatened to kill me if I didn't drink. But because of that, Grace got sick from that day on, and he walks her, so he didn't even get away with it all.

Looking at Karen and Lumia talking like that, I realize something's wrong with Grace, who was lying down. The hand that was visible from the gap in the cloth was grasping the soil and trembling, and the step by step the hand was moving out in a strange way. It was as if something else was going in my body and I was rambling. However, neither Karen nor Lumia has noticed that.

(That's a sight like this somewhere...)

Under a man's skin, something else broke out - I was reminded of a moment ago when I fought alone in the snowfields of the mountains, and Ruth rushed to Karen and the others and spoke quietly.

"Mr. Cullen, this might not be a good idea"

"Mr. Ruth, what's wrong?

"Eh, who?

"If you can imagine me… can I see Mr. Grace for a moment?"

While Karen was explaining to Lumia, surprised by Ruth's sudden appearance, she turned the cloth hanging from Grace lying down.

"-!"

Ruth takes an unexpected breath at Grace's appearance.

She must have been a very beautiful girl. Long eyelashes, small nose, white skin, red brown glossy hair in one piece - but now it's also distorted by pain and something else. There were blood vessels floating in the skin of his face, his bumpy arms swollen and deformed, his rounded body cramped and his eyes glowed red to convey the warning. The saliva dripped from his mouth and his eyes stared at Ruth for a moment, but his reaction was slightly strange.

"Gu, Grace......! What's wrong with you?

"Mr. Cullen asked once, was Mr. Grace mixed up with the Demons or were they originally red eyes?"

"I don't. This kid and I, Dwarf and Elf mixed blood, even our eyes were normal brown, yet......!

Look at Grace's red eyes. Karen's face turns blue. He's still not in normal condition.

(When that happens, this looks………)

Ruth remembered the unpleasant history and ending of the incident in the winter. Alec said he was happening all over the world frequently, and although there is no certainty, it was possible that he was in the same situation as the man he was then. - I mean, it's the melting demonization of people.

"Mr. Cullen, let's hurry up and run the operation. We need to treat Mr. Grace quickly."

"- What are you doing there!?

"Aah!"

As Ruth and the others turned around, there stood a bandit with a knife poked at her with one girl in her arms. He heard his voice sounding because he was upset to see how Grace was doing. When the thieves glanced at Ruth and the others who stopped moving, they brought the knife closer to the girl's neck.

"If you think something's going on, where are you guys coming from?"

"- Huh!

The moment the bandit tried to shove a knife at the girl and threaten her, Mr. Yuan, who was hiding, jumped out of the rock shade and grabbed the hand of the man with the knife. Twist your arms up faster than a man can figure out the situation.

"Yes, yes!

"How long have you been holding hostages! Get the fuck off me!

And at the same time, Daniel, who was on his way to the bandit, punches him in the face and then takes the girl from his opposite arm. I stood in front of the girls left with Colt and Fritz if I noticed.

"- Father, now!

A little late, but Karen shouts at the entrance. Then I heard the bandit's panicking voice from the outside, the sound of the sword, and the scream. The battle seems to be the first over there.

"I'm on my way to war."

"I'm coming too, Fritz. I asked for this place."

With this, Leo will be able to establish himself as the fourth faction in the current three-ways succession war.

When Yuan and Daniel gave Fritz and Colt the man they were holding back, they ran straight to the entrance and exit of the cave. Nearly ten villagers stand up against the two thieves. In this situation, where the hostages are now safe, they will be able to capture them.

"It didn't go as planned, but something happened……………"

"True. Good..."

The truth is, Karen and Gerald kept in touch, and they both planned to move on the signal, but Grace's condition made it an unexpected situation. However, the result would be that thanks to Yuan and Daniel's driving, he was saved. After all, those two, they have a lot of fights but they breathe in each other. I have to wish we were closer together.

But as Ruth and the others were zeroing their sighs of relief, the man who was tied with rope to Fritz and Colt laughed invincibly.

"You're hit... but I'm not giving up here... I'm taking the experiment home"

When I said that, the man began to speak words that he could not hear. Fritz hastily tried to seal his mouth at the look of it, but a change occurred in the cave earlier than that.
