『Noble Mithril Shirt』
(Explanation: There are many types of mithril. Among them, noble mithril is the highest classified metal. It is a metal so rare that when 10kg of mithril is mined, less than 10g of noble mithril is obtained. This shirt collects only noble mithril separately, This is a shirt made by extracting the thread from there and processing it again. The effect itself is not much different from regular mithril, but the difference in efficiency is so great that it is incomparable.)
『Blue for the Dragon Knight’s Coat』
(Explanation: Dragons existed in the ancient Hol Plain, and humans feared and worshiped dragons with supernatural abilities. A dragon knight refers to a human who made a contract with a dragon. Sometimes, among humans, there are exceptional people who can have a deep connection with the dragon. appeared, and each time the dragon made a contract of his own choice. This is the coat that the Blue Dragon gave as a gift to the humans who made a contract with him. As it is made of the dragon’s skin, the leather is very tough. It is also resistant to magic.)
All three pieces of equipment received from the Hamill Clan were now worn. Victoria’s glory was transformed into her earrings and hung from her right ear, and her noble mithril shirt was worn as a celestial glory. The Blue Dragon Knight’s cloak was draped over my shoulders by Go Yeon-joo himself.
The fit is definitely good. The shirt was so light as a feather that it didn’t feel like I was wearing it at all. And the coat, shall we say, as if it were wrapped in water? Even though it was not long or thin, there was nothing in the way at all.
Good is good. But I can’t get over the feeling that I received it for no reason. I can’t say I stole it, but I still felt sorry for some reason. Even so, it is Victoria’s glory. Shirts and coats were originally equipment that had a predetermined owner. To be honest, she had raised her stamina to 90 points, so it was hard to see her taking risks in the treatment process, and the equipment I had wasn’t very good.
Anyway, it’s already in my hands, and even if I were to return it now, I don’t think I’d receive it. I made up my mind to accept it gratefully, vowing to support the Hamill Clan in future planned expeditions.
“Soo-hyeon must have really complicated feelings.”
“yes… ?”
I was finishing my thoughts about the equipment and walking to the warp gate. Go Yeon-ju walked briskly and stood side by side with me, and spoke in a voice with a hint of playfulness.
“Ever since I asked you to find out information about the Hamill Clan, I thought it was a bit strange. “The names were similar, so I was curious.”
“haha. Yes. “I was skeptical until I met him in person.”
“For something like that, you seem quite calm, don’t you? “Your uncle looks very confused~.”
“I held back on purpose. What about me… . Wouldn’t you have wanted to stay longer?”
When I intentionally made a regretful expression and lowered my voice, Go Yeon-ju showed a shocked attitude. And “You could have stayed a little longer…” .” He muttered, and then slowly slowed down his steps. I smiled inwardly.
As I slowly turned my head, I saw three people silently following me. Among them, Kim Han-byeol, who was quietly following behind, caught my eye. He had a pensive face, as if he was in deep thought. He wonders if he knows someone somewhere in Hall Plains? Suddenly it occurred to me that he might be thinking something like that.
The sun had already set and was casting a deep twilight light. We were able to arrive at the warp gate after walking for about 10 minutes. It was lunch when we arrived, but the afternoon had flown by. From now on, it was time for most of the users to return to the city and rest. Perhaps that’s why there were fewer people at the entrance to the warp gate than expected.
‘It would be a bit difficult if there were still traffic restrictions… .’
There was no way I could wait for it to open, so I had no choice but to return to Monica.
After entering the entrance, we shortened the distance to the woman who appeared to be in charge of using the warp gate. She sat slumped in her chair as if she had the measles again today, but when she saw us, she straightened up. He seemed to be quite stressed, as his eyes were puffy and his brows were furrowed.
“Are you here to use the warp gate?”
“yes. Have the travel restrictions been lifted now?”
When she heard that there was a traffic restriction, the same light flashed across the woman’s face. She studied her magic circle for a moment and then sighed heavily.
“Where are you going? But fortunately, I think I can make it through.”
“What do you mean by piercing?”
“Seeing as you mentioned traffic restrictions, I thought you would go to the central, western, and northern areas. First of all, I can’t go to the center right now. First go to the city where Barbara’s warp gate is activated, and then use the warp gate there again. For example… . Now one in the west and one in the north. “It’s so open.”
“What is that… . “It’s up to them.”
“I mean. Fortunately, it is at least partially open now, and it was no joke from breakfast to lunch. Damn you kids… . Anyway, the west is open to Bess, and the north is open to Mule.”
Coincidentally, the word ‘mule’ came out of the woman’s mouth. In that case, she said there was no need to turn around. She was just about to ask for the gate to Mule to be opened, thinking she was lucky. Suddenly, I felt a figure pulling my collar tightly. When she turned her head, she saw Ansol staring at me.
“Ansol?”
“Yes… .”
“What’s wrong with you all of a sudden?”
“Ugh… .”
Ansol shook his head for no reason. There was a very anxious look on her face. Suddenly, I remembered what Ansol said at today’s meeting.
‘Brother. ‘Can I hear again which city you said you were going to?’
After briefly asking the woman for her understanding, I bent down slightly and made eye contact with Ansol. With everyone’s eyes on her, she was biting her lip slightly with a downcast look on her face.
It wasn’t something that happened once or twice anyway. It is much better to gently appease the person and ask about their intentions rather than press them all the time.
“You don’t want to go to the Mule?”
“yes… . I’m not sure why… . I’m just anxious… .”
When I opened my mouth in the softest voice possible, Ansol nodded, shook his head, and answered in a quiet voice.
I leaned back again and stared at Go Yeon-ju. She could feel Kim Han-byeol’s puzzled gaze as he did not know her situation, but the late Yeon-joo had a deep, thoughtful look on her face, perhaps because she had experienced it first-hand.
“Go Yeon-ju. “Has anything strange happened to Mule lately?”
“no… . I do not know. To be honest, I haven’t been paying much attention to mules these days. Let’s just say she recognized me recently… . ah.”
“?”
“Now that I think about it, there is one. It was a while ago, but Mule’s representative clan has changed. To be precise, I think it should be said that it is a merger rather than a change. The Heaven on Earth Clan, newly appointed as the representative clan, absorbed and merged with the original Beech Clan. What makes Sol-i anxious is… . “Maybe it’s because of what happened back then?”
By that time, I would be referring to the conflict with the Chestnut Clan. In order to trample on Yoo Hyeon-ah, who would later grow up to be the ‘Holy Queen’, I murdered ‘Musin’ Cha Seung-hyeon and ‘Crazy Bitch’ Band Da-hee. No matter how kind Yoo Hyeon-ah is by nature, she can still harbor grudges as she is a human being.
‘Then I’d better go.’
Go Yeon-ju’s words certainly made sense. And as she said, going to Mule was a tempting choice. I couldn’t kill her because the situation wasn’t there at the time, but it was true that the back of her head felt quite uncomfortable. Rather than letting it continue, I thought it would be better to walk into the tiger’s den, recruit the old man, and deal with Yoo Hyeon-ah at the same time. Of course, there has to be a prerequisite of raising a dispute first.
‘But if that’s not the case… ? Something else could happen. chamberlain… .’
Assuming the worst had become a habit, so I narrowed my eyes without realizing it. As I was thinking about various possibilities, I suddenly felt the presence of someone approaching from beside me.
“Su-hyun. I’m starting to worry again. It may be presumptuous, but there’s something I’ve wanted to tell you for a long time. “It may be a little presumptuous, but I really want to tell you, if you allow me.”
“yes? of course.”
“Suhyeon is the clan lord. There were things you planned from the beginning, right? Of course, plans can be changed midway, but I think that is entirely within the clan lord’s authority. “I can only use the opinions of clan members as a reference, but I don’t think it’s right to be influenced by them.”
“… … .”
“Remember what happened in front of Barbara’s warp gate the other day. Even though Sol was crying and making a fuss back then, he returned safely in the end, right?”
What Ko Yeon-ju was saying was that I often depend on Ansol’s decisions whenever something important happens. There were sharp bones in her words. She thought herself to be prudent, but others seemed to see it differently.
I calmly closed my eyes and was lost in thought. Numerous thoughts swirled through my mind. In general, what Go Yeon-ju said was correct, but Ansol’s words could not be ignored. In some ways, it was very difficult to find a middle ground between the two opinions that I considered correct.
‘I don’t know what will happen. However, what is clear is that it does happen. Ultimately, you have to decide for yourself whether you can handle it or not. then… .’
I was able to conclude my thoughts when I heard a woman yawning next to me. When I turned in front of the warp gate, I could see my clan members waiting for my answer without any sign of boredom. I quietly opened my mouth to them.
“I’ll go to Mule.”
“… … .”
Ko Yeon-ju and Kim Han-byeol’s faces brightened as they declared that they would not change the plan. However, Ansol lowered his eyes to the floor and showed a dejected appearance.
“Ansol.”
“yes… .”
“I’ll take care of my business at Mule as quickly as possible.”
“Oh, no… . I’m worrying you with unnecessary words… .”
Ansol waved both hands excitedly. Although he was saying that, his expression still showed signs of anxiety. I took a step towards her, gently stroked her hair and whispered in her ear.
“I don’t think it’s meaningless. Do you remember what I said before? I will always keep in mind what you say. So, if something happens, don’t worry too much. Because I will always be by your side. got it?”
Only then did he feel a little better, as a bright blush appeared on Ansol’s cheeks. After confirming that she nodded her head, I looked at the female user who had been waiting all this time. however… . Have you ever blushed when you were in a good mood?
“You said the mule was open, right?”
“wait a minute. hmm… . yes. Fortunately, it’s open.”
“Then let’s go to Mule. Please activate the warp gate.”
“Okay~. “There are a total of four people, so please give us 8 gold.”
The woman, perhaps happy that she was finally sending us away, held out the fare box in a friendly tone. After dropping exactly eight gold coins there, I headed straight into the activated portal and buried myself. Then, as always, a refreshing feeling enveloped my body.
*
When I closed my eyes once, a city that was both familiar and unfamiliar came into view. Arrived at Mule.
Mule still had such a shabby scenery that even empty words could not describe it as good. Of course, it was a lot better than before. However, since I had been with Monica for so long, it was true that my weak points were relatively more highlighted.
Soon, I felt the presence of clan members following me one by one behind me. At the same time, I was extremely nervous. I spread my magic detection as widely as possible and naturally placed my hands on my waist so that I could unleash my sword at any time.
And while maintaining that status, I went out to the entrance of the warp gate and looked around the downtown area as a whole. At that moment, several people were walking in the downtown area from the right direction.
“Ugh, I’m dying from pain… .”
“Giggle. So who wants to jump in on their own? Anyway, let’s go to the temple quickly. “It’s not that deep and I sprinkled some potion on it, so I’m sure it can be completely cured.”
The streets of Mule were quiet. Among the people passing by in the downtown area ahead, there were users with blood stained here and there or some of their equipment damaged. However, considering the current time zone, it is highly likely that he has just returned from hunting. When I actually listened to their conversation, the majority of the conversation was trivial, such as saying that today’s hunting was a big hit and how I wish it would always be like this.
“Ho Ho. “I don’t think anything strange is happening?”
“… … .”
Ko Yeon-ju, who had already come behind me, spoke in a languid tone. As she said, she couldn’t find anything strange about her. It was literally a cityscape in an ordinary hall plain. I lowered my hand that was on my waist and muttered softly.
“But you never know. Don’t relax. Anyway, let’s move to the destination right now.”
“oh. “Can we stop by Lady Josinhan for a moment?”
“Let’s leave that for later. “Let’s take a look at the situation.”
“Hing~.”
Go Yeon-ju expressed her disappointment by making a noise.
And I started walking straight towards the shopping street where my old man’s jewelry store was.
