The Paladin Owns the Relic

62 – Search for Paramer (8)

Ian brushed the residue off his sword. It was a dreary night. To the point that she wouldn’t want to go through it again.

But she knew best, Ian, that it couldn’t be over in one day. If she can’t escape, she has to adapt.

Fortunately, no one died the night before.

“…What the hell is this…”

“An undead that never dies. I never heard of it.”

“Even if it burns, it doesn’t disappear, and instead it runs more.”

Hudson bowed. He took off a piece of flesh trying to escape underground and put it in a glass jar.

“Wizard. What is this?”

“I don’t know…but it is certain that they are active at night. At night, the surroundings are so dark that not a single light can come in, so it is a creature that could not be seen outside. No, I wonder if I can call this a creature in the first place… First of all, I’m not afraid of fire. It’s not that I hate the light. It just seems like the activity time is only at night.”

One of the knights groaned. I forcibly ripped out the rotten flesh that had penetrated deep into my arm.

The wizards clung to each other and fired healing magic. Hudson glanced back at Ian.

“I spent the night unable to rest. Sir Ian. It’s okay to take a little break.”

“I can’t do that.”

Ian looked around Paramer. When the night was over, the rotting creatures ran away like rats.

The only chance to look at something is during the day. It was now, with the light dimly coming in, that I had to move.

“Look at the city. Wizard. To guide the way. I look at the place where I said it was suspicious.”

“…But…”

“You can take a break later. Even if I go back to sleep after finishing the investigation, I should be able to sleep for three hours.”

“You are too harsh!”

“Be quiet. Wizard. We are not here to play. I came to save the city of Paramer.”

“…Ha, but still…”

“I usually say that I will throw you away if you rebel, but…”

This is Paramer. Wizards are a precious force, and can never be abandoned.

Ian put his hand on his sword. He pulled halfway through.

“I can’t do that today. If you don’t want to follow me, I will forcefully drag you.”

“……”

The little wizard finally nodded her head. Hudson sighed.

“…If the situation is like this, the rest of the group will be almost wiped out.”

“Joe 2 is probably still alive. Clever elves tend to hide their secrets.”

“…Then where the church is…”

“They must all be dead already.”

Ian thrust his sword in.

“Move. We are Paramer’s only hope.”

. . .

Daniel spat out a curse. He couldn’t stand it without spitting out.

“Dylan! Wake! Dylan!”

“It is already as good as a corpse.”

The elf pulled out an arrow stuck in the wall. The rotten creatures embedded in the arrows scattered and fled as if collapsing.

“A group of life forms that cannot be killed…What is it?”

“The blessed arrows don’t work… Even the spirits refuse to get close.”

“I think it’s best to restrain behavior.”

The only woman among the elves who was wearing a hood walked. She stood in front of the fallen mercenary and she slowly reached out her hand.

A bright light burst out. The spirit wrapped around the woman’s hand whispered as if singing.

However, the mercenary who was coughing up blood in the end closed his eyes. He couldn’t rise again.

…Dead.

Daniel looked Dylan in the eye. Dilated pupils. Warmth disappearing.

“Why…Why…You…”

“Flora!”

“Don’t go too close!”

“There may be poison!”

The elves immediately dragged the hooded elf behind them. Daniel groaned and gnashed his teeth.

“Are we f*cking… germs? If only you guys would look after us properly in the first place…!”

“You were the one who said you would come along. We would have refused.”

“Dog b*tches…What are they saying now…”

The elf reached for the arrow. One of the mercenaries sighed.

“Head. Calm down. There is no point in fighting among ourselves.”

“But… Dylan…”

“Send me. The dead cannot be raised.”

Daniel slowly removed his hand from his body. He put his back against the wall and swept his face.

“…f*ck.”

There was silence. Daniel was regretting it.

From noble mtl dot com.

Request money. Ten times the usual amount.

I’ve always thought that something was strange. However, since he decided to listen, he had no choice but to participate before the search for Para Mer.

Still, there were only talented people who rolled and rolled in the mercenary industry, so I thought no one would die…

When I opened the lid, the Paramer was even more terrifying. It was such a mess that I didn’t know where to start.

“…The leader.”

“I know.”

Daniel took a deep breath. Rotten me was sucked into my nose. It was a disgustingly foul smell.

But I can’t help it. The mercenary industry is such a place. No matter how precious it is, it is lost in an instant.

“…Give me a moment.”

It’s already been 5 years since I’ve been with him. He was the guy I’ve been with since I was a beginner mercenary. Daniel took a coin from his bosom. As was the custom of old mercenaries, he put money in his corpse’s mouth and closed it.

“…Go first. Baby.”

Daniel’s eyes caught fire.

“I’m going to burn down the whole damn city.”

The elves have left. Daniel slowly put his sword into the scabbard. The mercenary wizard who had given him advice cautiously asked.

“What are you going to do?”

“Let’s chase after the elves. I can’t help it. Even if those babies are f*cking f*ck, they will also need our help.

“I have to go that far…”

“You saw it. What a terrible night here. Need a colleague If you don’t intend to follow the first group belatedly even now.”

The wizard nodded.

“If we chase after that imperial knight, it will be used as a meat shield.”

“Those elves are better.”

“f*ck…Why did you come to such a f*cking place?”

“Stop the small talk.”

Daniel chased the backs of the elves who were moving away. The mischievous and light gaze sunk heavily.

“…Let’s go.”

Suddenly, one of the mercenaries asked Daniel out of curiosity.

“What happened to Group 1?”

“I will be alive. There are knights and wizards, but there’s no way they’re dead.”

“What about Article 3?”

“If it’s a church…”

Daniel quietly moved on.

“…He must be dead. Entire. It was not an ordeal they could overcome.”

. . .

I cleared my ears. Rosemary turned to me.

“What are you doing?”

“No, I think someone is talking bullsh*t.”

As we said in the morning, we searched Vinsmoke’s bar. Strange noises came from the basement. I pulled Pablo back to check it out.

“Don’t check that. If you don’t touch it, you won’t bite.”

“I can’t believe that…”

“This is Ratten. Guys I’ve seen all night. Don’t just go underground, search all over.”

“What should I look for?”

“If there is anything strange, bring it. I will see and judge for myself.”

We searched the bar all lunch. I rummaged through old wine bottles and turned furniture over. Pink hair covered in dust came running towards me.

“How about this?”

It’s just paper. There was nothing wrong with the content. It was a receipt.

I threw back.

“Bring something a little different than this.”

“What is unusual?”

“Just looking at it, there is something unusual.”

“No, so what is it?”

“Is there something unusual?”

“What bullsh*t is that!”

I couldn’t explain. No, so there’s something really unique about it?

I tapped Rosemary on the shoulder.

“I trust my instincts.”

“I don’t know more?!”

Rosemary, who had been grumbling, started searching her room again. I poured out the books that were on the shelf on the second floor.

Not here…Not there…

Something really stands out. Is it somewhere other than here?

In the end, nothing came out of Beansmoke’s bar. Rosemary coughed lightly.

“Ehchu.”

“Your cough is cute.”

“Shut up.”

“Let’s move. I don’t think this is the case.”

“What kind of dog high school student is this…”

“It’s a cat’s hardship.”

“Ah!”

Brother Lucas Marcus sneaked up next to me.

“Aren’t you tired? Sibling.”

“Battle is good, but I think rest is also necessary.”

“Are you tired already?”

“Not us.”

“Because of the brothers in the back.”

Pablo erroneously followed. His head was almost stuck to the ground. His back wasn’t even properly straightened.

“It seems that mental fatigue has accumulated and affected the body.”

“Not all are as strong as their brothers.”

In case someone isn’t a paladin, they take care of others first.

Well, that’s right. Not only that, but the others were also not showing off, and there was a shadow over their eyes. Neither do I.

“Let’s search one more place.”

If it’s not a bar in Beansmoke, you can stop by the cafe in Velstina nearby.

There was always a clue. That’s what happened in most scenarios.

We searched the store diligently. Fortunately, this time there was a harvest.

Rosemary was confused as she brought the fragment of the letter.

“…It was the only one that didn’t have any dust on it. There was also a strange aura going around. It was hidden in a drawer on the second floor.”

“Did I tell you? There is something special.”

“How did you find out about this?”

“…Sense?”

“There’s no way that would make sense.”

“I am an irrational and nonsensical being.”

“…Just this.”

[You have obtained the ‘First Letter’.]

I unfolded the piece of letter. Fortunately, it is the first. There’s no need to mess with it.

{Hello. I am ###.}

The name was erased. The letters were also crooked. However, as if each letter was written with sincerity and sincerity, the handwriting was very depressed.

“Hello…?”

“Isn’t that what the monster said?”

“Shh. Quietly.”

I read through the letter.

{Long time no see. I am doing well. In fact, you may not be doing well. At least I know you won’t see this letter, but I wanted to write it anyway. I have a lot of time, but I’m not sure how long I can write a letter.}

{It was a bit sunny today. It was slightly clearer than yesterday. In fact, I don’t know if the sky looking up from here will always be clear. It was very dark underground, and even when I looked up, there was nothing but the ground.}

{It hasn’t been long since I came to my senses. After eating a little food, I came to my senses. When I woke up from a long sleep, I was very hungry. So I had no choice but to put my hand on it. Sorry. I tried not to eat, but I had no choice but to eat.}

{I saw a child planting flowers today. He tended the flower beds with his small hands. It was very cute. # I want to eat # I’m sorry. It looks like you’re still hungry. Still, I plan to endure it as long as I can stand it.}

{There is only one reason for sending the letter. I saw something strange today even though I knew you were dead and I knew you couldn’t see. Maybe I was looking at it wrong. Someone just like you was on top of the tower. Top of Paramer. A place where the ticking spring is impressive.}

{The world has changed beyond recognition. Come to think of it, it was a little strange that the world had changed and you weren’t the only one. So I thought I saw you on top of the tower that day. I thought you would come back to life and greet me.}

{But it wasn’t. She wasn’t you And I’m not what I used to be. She was scared, and I ran away.}

{I know that the same relationship will never happen to me again. I plan to visit the place where I first met you today. What used to be an empty lot has now turned into a cemetery called ‘Amelda’. Still, I intend to visit it once.}

{I know I can’t go back. But… I’ll just write this down. I’ll write the rest later.}

“…Amelda?”

I found the only place name on the map. There is. Amelda. There is.

Here’s the first guy.

“Go right away…”

No. Can’t go right away I glanced back at the tired party. The sun hasn’t set yet, but it’s okay to arrange a place to rest a little earlier.

“Let’s go take a rest.”
