Regression Life Starting With Two Traits

Chapter 081 Escape

Did you leave town in the late afternoon and ran for about two hours?

Hyuk, who was still depressed, straightened his posture and said.

“Brother, turn the carriage in the direction.”

“what? suddenly? Where?”

Hyuk’s expression looked serious at the sudden words.

“On the right.”

The right side was a field, not a road.

“It might be dangerous to stray from the road.”

“My ability says this road is more dangerous?”

If Hyuk’s ability was so, there was nothing wrong with being careful.

“hey! what’s the matter? Why did you suddenly change direction?”

As I turned, Soo-yeon, who was in the carriage, raised her head and shouted.

I told her urgently.

“Hyuk said it was dangerous to follow the road. Hold tight!”

The only thing that was said to be a road was a dirt road, so the shaking was severe, but the field was even more rattled.

Every time I stepped on the gravel, the wagon’s wheels bounced dangerously.

“Hyuk-ah, where shall we go?”

Hyuk pointed to a place in response to my question.

“That forest!”

It was a forest next to a field.

Looking up at the sky, the sunset was setting.

“It will be night soon. Forests can be dangerous.”

This is a fantasy world.

There may be some monsters in the forest.

So it was necessary to check.

“Is the forest really the safest?”

“Yes, that forest is the only way to live.”

Even before returning, Hyuk’s ability was never wrong.

“I believe in you.”

I rode my horse into the woods.

*

As Hyuk said, there were no dangers in the forest.

The sun had just set and it was dark everywhere.

And soon the sound of horses hooves rang loudly.

The sound of the horses’ hooves soon faded away.

“What was it?”

“I think it was in the direction of the village.”

“Was it the Eastern people the villagers were talking about?”

“Then don’t you have to save me? Have you been nice to us?”

“I’d love to, but that’s not what’s important to us right now.”

I said emphatically.

This had nothing to do with my duty as a Hunter.

This is another world.

we are strangers

I am in no position to help anyone.

Besides, we had a different purpose for crossing the gate.

“If we don’t stop the demons, we’re all going to die anyway. And no one knows whether the horse hooves just sounded like Easterners or the Imperial border guards.”

“Then how? Are you pretending not to see?”

“No, so we should go to the capital even faster. go and tell Save the people.”

The lords said they didn’t know the villages on the outskirts.

It was a problem that could not be excused by the fact that the land was large.

I looked at the group and said.

“It’s none of our business to interfere, but can we tell you what we heard? is not it?”

The faces of the party, who were filled with worry, widened as if they understood my meaning.

“That will work!”

“Hyuk-ah, is the road still dangerous?”

Hyuk, who used his ability to answer my question, shook his head.

“no. We are safe now.”

“Then let’s go again.”

We got into the wagon and started running down the road again.

Our goal was to get to the capital as quickly as possible by reducing the amount of time we had to sleep at night.

Besides, time here and time in our world run differently.

So, unlike our world, which is currently summer, summer was coming to an end here.

*

“woah! Woah!”

Before long, a castle with huge walls appeared.

“Is the castle gate closed?”

“It’s a bit late, isn’t it? wait here.”

It was still midnight.

Still, there must be a gatekeeper.

I handed over the reins to Hyuk and went to the gate.

After grabbing the iron doorknob and knocking on it a few times, a small window in the castle gate opened and a human face came out.

“who are you?”

Showing the mercenary plaque to the gatekeeper, who rolled his eyes as if searching for me and the carriage behind me, said,

“I am a traveler.”

After hearing my answer, the gatekeeper opened the side door and came out and held out a lantern.

As the lamp illuminated my face, he said with a surprised expression.

“You’re from the East?!”

“They look similar, but they’re not.”

“no! If I bring in an unknown stranger for no reason and there is a problem, I will go to the lord. Go!”

The gatekeeper was stubborn.

“I am traveling because I have urgent business to go to the capital. Just rest a little, replenish supplies tomorrow, and we’ll leave right away.”

I have no intention of staying long anyway.

“Are you really leaving right away?”

“Yes, I plan to leave as soon as I get what I need.”

“What is the capital going to do?”

“Should I even talk about that?”

“If you don’t want to talk about it, go homeless.”

And then he gently holds out his hand.

A man who was worried that his head would be cut off by the lord asked for money.

How did you become a human?

“Is this enough?”

“Come in.”

When I gave him three silver coins, the door opened wider, allowing me to enter the wagon.

Looking at the current gatekeeper’s reaction, I expected the reaction of other gatekeepers to meet in the future.

First of all, I’ll get a map as soon as dawn tomorrow, and I’ll leave as soon as I’ve researched the currency value.

It wasn’t a waste of money because there were a lot of jewels, but if it continued like this, it would run out soon.

And I’m going to have to put on some disguises so I don’t look like an Easterner.

“Ah, but did you find a place to stay?”

Come to think of it.

It seemed difficult to find an inn if this continued.

“Do you know of any places?”

The gatekeeper grins at my question.

“There will be no problem staying overnight.”

The doorkeeper took him to his own house.

“What if we were real Easterners?”

“Then, it doesn’t matter because I’m going to be the gatekeeper who caught the suspicious Easterners.”

It sounded like he would use us as bait to get out of the way if he was wrong.

The gatekeeper was no joke.

Doubtful, but there weren’t many options.

“After tomorrow’s work in the castle, come out through the north gate. It’s my working time, and going out is not severely restricted.”

*

The next day I woke them up rubbing my eyes.

I was tired after staying up all night to prepare for the unexpected.

Fortunately, the gatekeeper did not betray him first.

“Hmm! Hyung, I’m getting sore all over the place.”

Hyuk made a sound of pain as he got up.

“You will have to get used to it. Let’s quickly pack only what we need today and go out. If I stay like this for a long time, I think the problem will only grow.”

After coming to this world for the third day and meeting many people, it was clear that with our current looks, we were at a disadvantage in working in the Empire.

“You can’t change your race, can you?”

In response to Min-young’s question, I talked about things I had been thinking about all night.

“yes. So, while I get the supplies we need for our makeup, Hyuk and his sisters are pulling a wagon to the north gate ahead of time. I’ll follow as soon as I get the supplies.”

“yes.”

“Would you be okay alone?”

“yes I’m fine. You can also cover your face with this. There won’t be any problems.”

I took a hoodie out of our luggage.

I brought some clothes just in case, but I thought it might help.

After sending the party to the north gate in a wagon, I headed to the market in the center of the village.

With the hood on, I definitely didn’t get attention from people.

“Maybe I can get a map of the empire?”

Penzarik gave me directions, but he didn’t give me detailed directions to the capital.

Every time I stopped by the village, I did something to ask.

I also had to come up with a route that would take the shortest amount of time.

To do that, you need a map.

“Go to the general store across the street.”

“thank you.”

When I asked the shop owner in the market, he pointed to the shop across the street.

As I opened the door to the grocery store and entered, I heard the clear sound of a bell.

“welcome.”

Inside was a young lady with long orange hair.

“I came to get some maps. And do you sell hair dye by any chance?”

“You mean the map of the Empire?”

“yes.”

“Are you a traveler?”

“yes.”

The general store girl chattered and searched the shelves before handing over a roll of parchment.

“here. map. And you said dye, do you dye clothes?”

“no. I want to dye my hair. If not, a wig is fine.”

“Oh, are you going to the prom? A ball is going to be held in honor of the Fall Festival. Well, commoners like us should be satisfied with watching from afar. Still, we enjoy the festival by playing music among ourselves in the center of the market.”

I was able to glean one piece of information from her rapid-fire words.

If it’s an autumn festival, then the festival will be held.

“Is the festival only held here?”

“no. The whole empire does it all! It is a prayer to God for a successful fall harvest. My dream is to visit the festival in the capital someday. I will earn money here and go up to the capital. Oh, you said you were looking for hair dye, right? But what? No hair dye or wigs. Wigs are rare, and it is difficult to obtain them unless you are a merchant enough to make up the upper ranks.”

I answered, holding on to my mind that was getting confused by her fast words.

“Then, I’ll just buy the map. how much?”

“Just give me two fairy tale leaves.”

Donghwamyeon It was the lowest denomination of coins I had.

“Is the map that cheap?”

Even if parchment was common, it seems that printing technology has not developed, so why is a map so cheap?

I thought it would be at least five fairy tales.

“It’s because of the emperor. After the war, the emperor ordered the knights to go around and create a unified map of the empire. He ordered that maps made in this way be sold cheaply in shops throughout the empire. I don’t know how good you are. In the past, maps could only be obtained from merchants or ranks higher than semi-nobles.”

“okay.”

Are you saying that unless you’re a noble, you can’t even look at a single map?

It was a story that made me realize how privileged it is to be able to see a map of the world by just installing an app on your smartphone.

“Looking at the reaction, you are an outsider! What kind of place is foreign land! I’ve always been imagining it. The adventurous spirit in me… … .”

Before it got any longer, I raised the value of the map and came back.

“take care. I hope you have a great adventure someday.”

“yes! I will definitely do it! Bye! Young traveler!”

Received enthusiastic cheers from the general store lady, we headed for the north gate.

When I arrived at the north gate, I was a little confused.

I tried to pass through the turmoil, but there was a shadow blocking my way.

“Stand up! There will be a brief inspection.”

The identity of the shadow was two soldiers holding halberds.

While one of the soldiers took the map from my hand and examined it, one came up to me and said,

“Let’s see the face under the hood.”

The soldier then took off my hood.

Seeing my appearance, the soldier stepped back and aimed the halberd he was holding.

“Even Easterners?!”

Seeing that the gatekeeper was nowhere to be seen, did he end up eating and running?

So, what happened to the other kids?

“Could it be that you’re in a league with the guys who ran away in the wagon?!”

The soldier who stole the map shouted.

Judging by the atmosphere, the kids seemed to have escaped well.

I didn’t want to cause a problem, but I couldn’t help it.

I opened the person library and searched the list.

Shall we bring the map back first?

[Link complete!]

I linked Killian and Ilia’s skills in the list.

A quick move was needed now.

The ability of the two assassins was the best for such a move.

In an instant, I snatched the map from the soldier and ran through the north gate.

“Where!”

A soldier rolled to the ground, dodging a halberd, then got up and ran.

I heard a shout from behind.

“Eastern! Catch it!”

Looking back, the soldiers on the wall were also aiming their bows.

‘Stealth.’

I used the stealth skill in a hurry. However, he needed a place to avoid the arrows that had already been shot.

Fortunately, I saw a large rock nearby.

As soon as he hid behind a rock, arrows flew into the road he had just been on and ricocheted or stuck.

“sh*t! Where did you go!”

Hiding behind a rock, I looked behind me and saw a soldier furious.

A soldier approached him and shouted.

“If you were one of them, wouldn’t you have gone to your comrades? We’ve sent a chase party, so we’ll see you soon.”

After exploring the surroundings for a while, the soldiers returned to the north gate.

A chaser anyway?

The kids said they ran away earlier, so it seems that a chasing party was also attached.

Looking closely at the road, I could see the ruts of wagon wheels.

When it came to running away, there was Hyuk, so I didn’t have to worry.

I don’t know how tenacious the pursuit team is, but it was first to join my colleagues anyway.

After organizing my thoughts, I got up and carefully moved to the forest beside the road.
