Episode 12. Found it
Shudlen watched over Ethan all night as he fell into a deep sleep.
This area is the domain of the Goblin Riders.
Because of that, those who ran away once did not come back even if a fire was lit.
“If it weren’t for you, Master, I would really have died.”
Shudlen, who had seen the tremendous majesty with his own eyes, shivered once as he looked at the sleeping Ethan.
Actually, I didn’t think I could survive. But I survived nonetheless.
Take down the Goblin Rider King with just one attack.
Even the knights of the count’s family that he knew would not dare to do that.
“You are not someone I can measure. You are already aiming for a wider place.”
We should judge Ethan’s strength not only by looking at this Wickers County and its surrounding areas, but also by looking at the entire continent, even wider than that.
As the thought reached that point, Schudlen laughed.
It’s so great to be serving such a great person.
“By the way, who on earth did you come to see?”
“Are you curious?”
“Are you awake? Are you feeling okay?”
Shudlen approached Ethan urgently.
Because his complexion was always bad, I couldn’t tell what his current condition was.
“What about the body?”
“yes?”
“The corpse of the Goblin Rider King.”
At Ethan’s words, Shudlen stood up urgently.
“I’ll take care of it right away!”

-You have achieved the achievement!
-You have hunted the Goblin Rider King, the ruler of the Dark Forest realm!
-You got ‘3’ likes for completing the achievement!
The first thing that greeted Ethan when he woke up from a faint was this notification.
Goblin Rider King is a kind of named monster.
Hunting named monsters naturally had achievements.
The reward is a whopping 3.
It was a large amount, but Ethan, who was on the verge of death, couldn’t help but grumble.
‘You could have given me a little more. It was incredibly strong.’
There was one more thing I gained after that.
< Skills held: Heuristic Acupuncture (A) [6.5 percent], Hero's Breath (A) [20.3 percent], Whicus Swordsmanship (B) [100 percent], Heuristic Herbal Medicine (A) [4.9 percent] >
‘Skill proficiency has increased significantly. By a whopping 10 percent.’
The hero’s breathing proficiency, the most important skill that allowed him to hunt the Goblin Rider King, was greatly increased.
‘I feel like I finally understand a little bit.’
Hero’s Breath was not simply a skill that strengthened the body.
The physical strengthening was just a bonus. The real thing was the strengthening of muscle strength.
Power. Strengthening the rising power!
‘The body is strengthened to support that power.’
Hercules was essentially teaching the basics.
By converting that innate power into breath, anyone can use the power of Hercules.
If you are confident in your power, you can unleash incredible powers, like when you killed the Goblin Rider King.
‘So that’s why the number of subscribers had to be high.’
Despite such subscription reviews, it still had a high number of subscribers and likes.
It occurred to me that perhaps Hercules might be among the ranks of this [New World].
‘If the other gods are like this, it would be good to start from the basics and collect them one by one.’
It didn’t seem like a good idea to blindly subscribe to this god or that god.
Hercules is one of them, but the gods basically use powers that are difficult to understand.
If you don’t properly understand the power, you won’t be able to properly utilize the skill even if you learn it.
‘The same goes for Hero’s Breath. Until then, it seemed like just an ordinary skill.’
It was necessary to be careful, as I could only properly use the hero’s breath when I was very close to death.
‘The hero’s breath is not yet complete.’
Ethan moved his body around.
My whole body screamed. It was only natural, given the amount of force I had exerted.
After taking a deep breath, I immediately used the Heoryu acupuncture. At the same time, I searched through my subspace pocket and took out some herbs.
“I’m getting more and more comfortable with making herbal medicine. But this alone isn’t enough.”
Ethan was thinking of upgrading this herbal medicine recipe even further.
Since herbal medicine was not an element that was originally included in this game, it had a similar mechanism to potions.
What this meant was that if you learned the skill of making potions, you could further elevate Heo Jun’s medicinal herb level.
‘One by one. Let’s increase the lifeline.’
“young master!”
Meanwhile, Shudlen, who was tending to the corpse of the Goblin Rider King, waved his hand with a bright expression.
“Look! I did it perfectly as you told me! And this guy. The magic stone is huge!”
Ethan smiled brightly as he approached to check.
As expected, Schudlen was quite a capable knight.
The level of escorts he had in mind was just too high, but they were people worth having on his side.
“Let’s do the math when we get back. We have to take what we deserve. Right? Shudlen.”
“If you give me a prize, I will gratefully accept it!”
* * *
After resting for two full days in the Goblin Rider territory, Ethan moved straight to the next territory.
‘It’s probably in the most central place.’
The granddaughter of Hecate that Ethan was looking for was currently hiding in this dark forest. The reason she was hiding was simple.
‘Because I thought that the book of magic, the source of all Hecate’s magic, was passed down to her granddaughter.’
Because of this, she had to fight numerous enemies.
Those who try to steal the magic book by offering sweet words of help, and those who try to kill her with great force and steal the magic book.
Not even knowing who was her enemy and who was her friend, she kept running and running.
That’s how we arrived at this dark forest.
‘It is certain that there is a magic book. However, the actual book no longer exists.’
Hecate’s original spellbook had already been burned. But that didn’t mean it was lost.
The magic book definitely exists.
‘In my granddaughter’s head.’
The extraordinary talent was passed on to his daughter, and then to her daughter’s daughter.
In her head, where she understood everything just by looking at it, was all the magic that made Hecate call her the Great Mage.
‘You can’t use it right now, you know.’
She was under a ban. It was a curse, a restriction imposed by supernatural power.
Ethan planned to release the gold and get her.
Just imagining the Archmage Howi with thousands of spells in his head makes me laugh.
‘If it weren’t for the illness, I wouldn’t have died.’
Besides, there was one talent among hers that Ethan needed most right now.
Ethan was determined to find a way to live with her at the center.
‘But Yeerika is hard to get.’
Although Yeerika was an early character, that didn’t mean she was easy to obtain.
Would she, who has been deceived and used by so many people until now, open her heart easily?
‘So you’re trying to get it later?’
By the time she becomes strong enough to dispel her doubts, she is already a being who does not need the help of others.
If that happens, you will never be able to open your closed mind. It means you will never be able to become an ally character.
‘But I can do it.’
To make her his escort now.
And Ethan didn’t intend to use her simply as an escort.
“Your Majesty. May I ask why you are looking for the person you are looking for?”
“For now, I plan to use it as an escort.”
“An escort? If it’s an escort, there’s no need to come to such a dangerous place to look for one. There are many knights in the family.”
“He’s quite a versatile escort. He can do a lot of things. Things that the knights of the family can’t do.”
There was a lot more that could be done beyond just escorting.
If she’s there, you can make all the things you envision in your head come true.
‘If I recruit her, I can do things I can’t do now. Beyond simple escorting, I can also do enchantments and business. It’s harder than recruiting multiple characters easily, but recruiting just one Yeerika is more profitable.’
“Schudlen.”
“yes.”
“Let’s take a short break. There’s someone I’m looking for in this next area. But it’s going to be very dangerous. It could be even more dangerous than the Goblin Rider King from earlier.”
Ethan made a decoction while he rested.
I mixed the silver flower with the materials I had previously purchased from the subspace pocket.
Basically, making a remedy is done by combining herbs.
‘It was a little easier.’
Just mix the ingredients together and a cure is created in no time.
But now it’s different. Creating a cure requires more work than just mixing.
‘If it weren’t for the serious illness, I could have made a cure to treat my body.’
It’s okay, I know the regrettable things and the method.
What was important now was a cure that could lift Yeerika’s ban.
“Did you learn those things from books?”
“You shouldn’t stay away from books, Schudlen. There is a lot of knowledge in books. You can’t experience everything, but there are many things written there that you can know through knowledge.”
“When I get back, I’ll start reading the book right away.”
The work of making herbal medicine has been going on for quite some time.
“Phew.”
Fortunately, we were able to successfully develop a cure.
The gold that is on her will be completely removed with this herbal medicine.
‘It’s just that the combination method is difficult and the ratio of the silver linings is difficult to get right. The difficulty of making it itself is not difficult.’
That’s why it was possible to create Ethan in this state.
After making the herbal medicine, Ethan immediately moved to the next area.
From now on, I had to find Yeerika.
“It’s really wide, my lord. Will you be able to find the person you’re looking for in such a wide forest? No, before that, can people live in a place like this?”
Schudlen stuck out his tongue.
Certainly, this dark forest was a place where the sun rose only for a very short time, and darkness fell the rest of the time.
It was a perfect place to run away to, but not a place to live in, so I couldn’t believe that people were living there.
“With monsters swarming around, doesn’t it get even more dangerous at night?”
“But no one comes. If you need to hide, this is the place for you.”
“If you can handle the monsters, then that’s right.”
Still, it seemed extremely dangerous to live in a forest like this.
How much further did it go in like that?
Rather, monsters that could not be avoided in the previous areas could be avoided here.
“Because there are fewer monsters. Each one is strong, but it’s easier to avoid them.”
It was thanks to Ethan’s knowledge.
As I went in a little further, I started to hear a loud noise.
“It looks like the monsters are fighting each other.”
“No. It’s different. The monsters here wouldn’t fight each other. They each have their own special smell. There’s no reason for them to think they’re enemies and fight.”
Kookung-! Kookung-!
With a noise that shook the earth, bulls rushed out from beyond. They were Minors, monsters of this realm.
Three-horned bulls charged toward Ethan and Shudlen.
“young master!”
“No. They’re not coming for us. Look at them. They’re scared. They’re running away now.”
“Run away? Who are you talking to?”
“I don’t know about that. Follow me.”
Ethan was carried by Shudlen with a look of surprise on his face.
“Didn’t you tell me to follow you?”
“Your feet are much faster.”
It was absurd, but it wasn’t wrong.
The now-ridden Shudlen ran forward in one breath.
* * *
“I finally found it. I couldn’t find it because it was stuck in a place like this!”
Deep in the dark forest.
There was a man standing there. In front of him was a girl with a frown on her face. Her shoulders were also covered in blood, just like her bright red hair.
But rather than being in pain, he was burning with hostility.
“If you do that, I won’t vomit out the magic book.”
“I know. There is no original. I already heard that your mother burned it all. I think everyone who is chasing you knows this. It’s because you’ve been drinking water so many times that everyone knows.”
He laughed cheerfully.
Every time he smiled, mana spread out around him, and the monsters in the dark forest began to run away one by one from his aura.
The girl gritted her teeth.
‘I really think I might die.’
If that happens, I might have to resort to a last resort.
If you use that method, it will take much longer to remove the gold from your body, but it can’t be helped.
There is no choice but to save one’s life.
‘I can never die in a place like this.’
Her goal was revenge.
Revenge for his mother. And revenge for those who ruined everything for his grandfather!
“Then you know it’s useless, right? Get out of here right now!”
“That’s what you think. There are plenty of ways to get the spellbook out of your head. Magic-mad wizards always break your expectations.”
He took something out of his bosom.
“I will extract your memories myself. With this Imagine Realizer.”
He charged forward, stomping hard on the ground.
Yeerika crossed her arms and used magic without a spear.
Then, in an instant, a wall of mud rose from the ground. Tree trunks were intertwined with the rising wall, adding to its strength.
“dancing.”
But with one punch from him, it was completely destroyed.
“I know you can’t use the magic in your head. You can only use this kind of crude defensive magic. It’s truly a shame. To let the magic of the great wizard Hecate rot away like this is an insult to your grandfather. So spit it out. I’ll put it to good use!”
“Stop talking nonsense. It was because of trash like you that my grandfather passed away with all this shame on him!”
“I guess he must have become senile in his later years.”
He chuckled and punched Yeorika in the stomach.
“Cough.”
“I won’t kill you. Don’t worry.”
Then he took out the artifact and tried to put it in her mouth.
“Eat quietly.”
Then a sound was heard.
Bam- Bam- Bam-.
It was the sound of footsteps on slightly muddy ground.
He glanced over at her.
“found.”
It was a strange combination.
There was another man riding on the back of the healthy man, who looked strangely sickly.
Nevertheless, the eyes were shining brightly.
“I finally found it.”
