Skeleton Soldier Couldn't Protect the Dungeon

It looks suspicious.

Leandro von Batienne did not help defeat the spirit in the first place.

I think he was watching me with his arms crossed behind his back.

A slight open expression is ominous.

‘Damn it.'

A guy who was beaten up by the inventory for a long time and then became an inventor suddenly came to his senses and cut his inventory, reminding me of a memory he had against me.

It's difficult.

You quickly dismantled the area surrounding the five ships.

Leandro's gray hair rises from the deck and is scattered by the sea breeze.

“What are you staring at? ”

I asked the Marquis of Smiles later.

“Not really.”

He shrugs.

Once I saw her next to me, I wondered how much I would know.

I feel like I've been accidentally robbed.

I think it's thick.

“Are... you sure? ”

I thought maybe.

It reminds me of the captain and the deck captain that the number of Spirits attacked was even weirder than usual, and the range was surprisingly wide.

< It's like something called them here on purpose....

They sail all the time.

If it makes a difference.

It's just the two of us.

‘I remained still. ’

The Marquis is suspicious.

I was gone all night.

But what did they call you? The sea spirits are gathering. I can't feel the way.

If he has any of that, he's like a spicy onion.

“I'm tired.”

He turns around and goes inside without doing anything.

‘No, if you've done something... That's the problem. ’

Anyway, it's already happened.

Even if you are beaten, you can't help it.

There's no turning back now. I stood on the deck, gazing at the white waves. The captain spoke to me, who was left alone.

“I……. ”

“What?”

I know you have something to say.

I felt strong expectations for serious eyes.

‘I'd recommend a full membership. ’

Full member of the Merchant Alliance.

I'll give you five cards at a time.

There is nothing else.

I've also demonstrated my abilities with the Spirits.

The benefits of the Merchant Guild will be short-lived only if you arrive in the east.

There's nothing wrong with having a card.

However.

What popped out was a vivid question.

“But... how are you two related? I wonder.”

What kind of relationship?

I don't know what to say.

It was a serious look.

Before boarding the ship, I saw him struggling with the Marquis of Marquis on the shore.

But now we can give gifts and talk normally.

What kind of relationship would that be?

Temporarily united by mutual interest?

You've been squeaking and making friends lately?

Mass emergence of sea spirits.

What just happened is suspicious, but if you sell the Humans you're traveling with too much, it might look bad.

Anyway, Nexmond is human.

Even the Marquis are human.

Seeking common interests, maintaining a smooth relationship... Seems like human behavior has always been the ethical thing to say.

Let's be nice.

“Let me tell you, my dear fellow. We have the same goal. He may look cold or scary, but he's got a deep heart. ”

I was excited.

I think I have the right vocabulary to match Leandro's mood.

In your library, you can always write a book.

It's worth reading about.

But...

An awkward silence flows over the deck.

“Ah... I see. We're three days from shore. What you just did.... Thank you again so much! ”

The captain quickly speaks up and goes inside.

Somewhere awkward.

‘Hmmm? What about the card...? ’

I don't give.

Suddenly I realize the truth.

I am accompanied by an Imperial caravan alone.

I saw you fighting on the shore, so you might have raised your expectations, but you stuck the wrong wedge in there, saying you're friendly with the Marquis.

"Oops."

It's different from the last time you were hostile to the Empire.

< You certainly are not on the side of the Imperial Court. If you support the Imperial Army, there's no reason for you to set fire to the Empire army.

Maybe this is important.

‘Well……. ’

There's no reason to be a full member of the Merchants Guild now.

It feels a little lonely.

‘Is he really that desperate? ’

I quietly stared at the position where Leandro entered.

* * *

The monarch went inside and spent the whole day inside the cabin.

“Don't interfere. You seem to be concentrating a lot... …. ”

A member of the search party told me about the Marquis.

He said he was concentrating in the cabin without eating.

“Anything new? ”

“Blue and white light flashed through the window. ”

“Light?”

“It's opaque from the outside of the window, but it looks like it's drawing a circle…….

It's like a tightly woven net of light. ”

What the hell is going on?

I'm nervous.

However, when I get close to the cabin, I can't help but check for myself because Milky is making a mean face.

Are you...

Maybe they'll attack as soon as they get off.

Why don't you just ambush me? ’

But it's hard for anyone to believe that they've actually discovered their inventory at once.

And they're gonna fight at this point.

No, I'm not.

There's nothing to be reckless about.

‘Let's think this through. ’

It's not that I didn't expect him to grow up.

‘I raised him properly.... ’

If it seems dangerous, it is one way to kill it surprisingly first.

It might be a good prey.

As the essence absorbs as it gets stronger, the weaker ones quickly shrink, so it's a good idea for Leandro to get stronger.

“We're here!”

After three days.

Following the captain's hand, I turned my gaze and saw land far away.

The sailors who were staying inside came out on the deck and slowly prepared to dock with an excited look.

‘Is this the place……. ’

Heat was endlessly long on the fog of the coast, but most of the coast was rock cliffs with green-brown moss, so there was a designated place to set sail.

Narrow bay recessed inside.

Ten ships are already anchored.

Beyond the sand of Manchu, when you look at the inner heights, there is a white and tall outpost.

It wasn't just Ember's tower. An exploration ground for training against one monster.

It is a surprisingly large and sophisticated figure that was built on an 'island’ that has not developed civilization.

The Marquis also stood by and looked at the outpost.

“Is that the 'Advance Guards' you mentioned? ”

“That's right.”

The captain nods.

Their existence was already explained in detail on the ship.

< Advance Guards

Humans on the continent who stepped foot on the 'island’ experienced all kinds of trial and error in their dealings with indigenous peoples and monster hunts.

And those who came later decided not to suffer the same trial and error again.

They explore and investigate all over the island and provide their subordinates with detailed information about dungeons and monsters.

Pretty expensive, of course.

‘You're not even indigenous. ’

who did not buy the information from

No one is allowed in or out of the dungeon. Same with undiscovered dungeons. Even monsters encountered on the field must be hunted with the permission of the vanguard.

It is neither a specific dungeon nor a monster.

They insist that they are the masters of the "earth," and that what appears on it belongs to them.

If you think about it, they're ridiculous.

Unreasonable.

However.

Humans with the power to pioneer the East for the first time, and their connections can't be that great.

Among the early explorers, even the 'front-runners' who didn't like these types of single marrow humans did not reject those who created and distributed interest for themselves, even though they were holding their arms tightly.

Even if it's not justice.

Even though you don't look so glum to start gangs and cry.

Even if you are willing to use violence to force your rights.

We do not hinder them from taking their side.

Besides...

They connect with the main group that interacts with the island, the 'League of Merchants', to provide free support to a certain number of people.

We're gonna stick to the flight attendant.

As much as you want.

There was flexibility in groups with powers other than themselves, and this was the secret to their legislation being applied on the island.

< Realistic country role.

Yes.

If I can sail this far, I don't think I need the equipment.

A white sand beach.

The five boats anchored gently without any damage.

A strange man standing on the white sand greeted the captain.

A face I've never seen on the continent.

“Half-blooded.”

A slightly more intimate deck captain has just arrived.

I didn't ask, but I explained.

“Captain! You've come a long way. It's been half a year.”

[Restore Freeze Defense Lv.1!]

‘I just heard. ’

Restored its old Bronze Defense skill.

Mechanical engineering.

Even after the power of tyranny had been drawn out, knowledge skills were recovering to their original level without delay at the moment they came into contact.

“Did you come half a year ago? ”

The captain's eyes are wide open.

“You surprise me again. Are you even defending yourself? ”

“The foundation was... really hard.... ”

The deck captain opened his mouth.

“Hmm……. ”

The Marquis looked at me with an interesting look.

Something like that.

“Well, I took a quick look at the book before coming. ”

To be precise, he stole a book called Chandler.

The captain was greeted with a copper shield.

Humans who stood on the shore smiled and continued to speak continental languages ever since.

I look around at the Marquis because things seem to be going well.

I wanted to attack as soon as he came down from the cabin.

Surprisingly, he is still in a relaxed position without even raising his hand on the knife sack.

While being distracted by him, the conversation goes smoothly in front of him.

“Captain Nexmond, what are you looking for this time? ”

“Well... I have some supplies, but I'll ask you to start with an adventure today. It's doing well.”

The captain proceeded as he had said on the boat.

“Aha! Good. The nobles want adventure. Thank you for bringing guests on such short notice. Are you two standing right there? ”

A mixed woman smiles and looks at Leandro.

The captain nods.

< You don't need to tell me you're looking for clues to the mainland?

< No, don't say it.

He also told me to avoid asking you to take him where it says on the map.

The islands think they know everything, but pointing to a specific location will raise doubts.

If you don't know what's out there, you'll be barred from entering and scrutinized.

Nexmond's advice comes to mind

Of course, prohibiting entry is not impenetrable by force.

There is no need to get hammered or friction from the start.

I don't take chances.

The Grand Marquis agreed.

‘Deep island with a guide.

I told you to go in and try to outrun them.... ”Like.

Like I accidentally got lost. That's the ideal scenario.

You said you were heading east in the first place.

The location shown on the map is also the center of the island. It was the deepest place.

If you keep going in there on an adventure, you'll get closer.

“You two, come this way. I prepared the other one's horse. ”

The short haired woman guides us to a friendly face.

Hee-hee-hee.

I rode on horseback to keep pace.

A well-trained and obedient one.

“I'm looking for something small for a week... and then I'll rest in the Eastern Branch of the Merchant Guild. Come back whenever you're comfortable. ”

The captain points to the other side of the outpost. You can see the water flowing through the smoke above the tall trees and the architectural patterns of the east as seen in the book.

A spectacular paper lantern under the roof of Kiwa has been filtered once into the forest, and the sea breeze is starting to rattle me.

The atmosphere of the coalition that I saw at the auction house was very appealing.

"But……. ”

Is that what Isaac told me? Somehow everyone seems to be 'fake’, planned and created.

I went back behind the scenery on the coast and continued to follow the directions.

Even though the coast was so invisible, the landscape was mostly lush trees.

‘Must be hard to get through. ’

Some appeared to be living in the middle of a flat frontier, but it was quiet compared to the dense coastline of warehouses, houses and outposts.

When I went deep inside.

The baron, sitting on the saddle I gave you, suddenly narrows his eyes.

“Clearly.”

“It's the same in a quiet place. ”

What's the same thing?

I turned my head.

“He's got the smell of magic buried in him. ”

Leandro looks at the half-breed guide and says small.

“The... smell of magic...? ”

“Very thick. Touchable.”

“Do you smell that? ”

I wonder if it flies with me. Every corner of your body.

He laughs at me with a cold look.

“You don't know what you smell like. ”

Should I use a skill?

"Detection."

I watched the woman who was leading us sincerely.

The target is a human being, no matter how thoroughly you scour it.

Do you really think there are people who can disguise themselves as undetectable with a level 15 detection?

Of course you do.

You've been waiting for a guest at a beach post like this?

I wonder.

“I think I'm getting very close to things that aren't human.... ”

“I don't know where all the non-humans are. I've been looking all over for you, but you're the only one who knows how. ”

The monarch seems troubled.

He's human. He smells like magic water.

The human in front of Nexmond, who communicated gently with him.

A woman who belonged to the Advance Guard.

This is the story of the monsters on the island.

‘I can't just hand it over. ’

The Marquis's intuition is very sharp.

How do we know what's going on?

Should I threaten him?

When I'm thinking about it.

“You.”

The Marquis asks you like a woman.

“Yes?, ’

The short haired woman turns her head.

“Your body smells of magic.

Explain. ”

That was the end.

I can't believe I'm explaining this...

I never thought I'd ask you so openly.

Are you trying to do your job like that as a target for the Empire?

Suddenly, I felt sorry for the humans.

However, the concierge was blinded and not greatly embarrassed.

“Y-you mean? ”
