episode_0385

I stayed at Bangora and did some light hunting.

Guns have been no longer used for quite some time.

If I hadn’t used a bow before, I would have definitely chosen a gun, but the speed of rapid fire and the speed of firing an air rifle were similar.

‘The penetration power is too poor.’

Compared to arrows, the bullet speed is much faster, so it can confuse the opponent, but it is difficult to use in fierce battles.

Moreover, the root is an air gun.

Seawater cannot penetrate the thick skin.

It ricocheted without even piercing the skull.

It was also common to get thrown out completely.

‘If this happens, I’d rather just shoot a bow.’

Let’s complain about that…

“If that’s the case, why not use this.”

What Seth brought was a new gun.

“Five shots. If you fire the pump five times, you also have to recharge the compressed air tank.”

It resembles a sawed-off shotgun, and bullets are still loaded through a tube.

The air tank was located in the handle like a pistol, and lead bullets with grooves were the mainstay.

Its power was as great as its appearance.

Taaa!!!

A loud roar, almost like the sound of a gunshot I remember.

Sparks flew out from the rock that hit it, and a handful of it broke apart.

Air rifle! Rock!

“Wow~ It’s killer.”

“It has great firepower, but it has its drawbacks.”

This is useful.

It has no choice but to be useful.

“What is it? Can’t you see any shortcomings?”

Seth grins.

“Pump five thousand times.”

“Yes?”

“A thousand pumps per shot.”

I don’t know how much the air was compressed, but it was worth it.

Because it allows you to use your fever weapon, even if only for a moment.

“Even considering this, I think this could be really useful.”

Anything can kill a person.

In that case, a weapon that is convenient and highly concealable is more advantageous.

Therefore, even in the United States, the country of guns, handguns are managed separately.

“Okay. So I brought it. ···From next month onwards, we won’t have time to fool around like this.”

Seth spoke in a subdued tone and looked up at me.

“Sure.”

Recruitment of articles is slowly beginning.

Sets was quick to recognize and take action, but we have to reach the wall by the end of the month.

Even though you can run 400km a day, distance is distance.

I should dedicate just one day today to Seth and head straight to the south.

Seth, who had already started taking off his clothes, walked towards the bedroom where he and Lexi spent the longest time.

* * * * * *

‘If we kill Harold, what will we do next?’

First of all, I want to have fun.

I want to go see a play and try all the delicious things in the world.

I wanted to get back the things I had neglected.

If you want to earn a living, you can do what you do best: hunting.

Because saltwater hunting makes money.

I want to save up money and travel to Venges, Romaria.

I want to see how my younger siblings live, even from afar.

I really liked the new identity card.

If I chose the name ‘Lee’ by giving a symbol to the name, this name is like a local person.

─Dwin Lee.

A twenty-nine year old human male was my new identity.

I ran endlessly.

No borders, just unpaved roads.

Thanks to this, I arrived with two weeks left until my enlistment.

The leather armor stretched and stretched as I moved, and now it was as flexible as clothes I had worn for a long time.

Habstenburg, like Korea, had a metropolitan area close to the front line.

Important buildings and parliaments, as well as Heindeer, which became a ghost town.

Among them was Daegong Academy.

Overall, it is U-shaped and occupies a fairly large area.

[For the advancement of Ajin.]

Strangely, it was a phrase that stimulated nostalgia.

People who showed affiliation with the Grand Academy carried familiar tools.

It’s rough, but these are things I know for sure.

For example, a cutter knife.

Or a camera.

I don’t know what it does, but it pushes the eyeball into the lens and keeps turning the valve. Also, it is so big that the camera is the size of a person.

There is no way that Edeline is working under her own name.

Edeline has become a villain stigmatized by the world.

At the same time, he is also a person sought after by the hard-line Wolf Church.

‘I’ll have to look for it myself.’

I wrapped myself in my authority so that people wouldn’t notice me, and moved forward while looking around. What will Edeline say when she sees me?

Will they recognize me?

I concentrated on my sense of smell, looking for Edeline’s body scent.

What I soon discovered was a fruity smell that resembled the scent of apples.

Edeline seemed to be in the basement.

But for some reason there is a lock on it.

I thought it was just hanging up, but it was locked.

My heart is beating wildly.

‘There’s someone inside, but it’s locked from the outside?’

While trying to break the lock, I had to withdraw my hand from the lock.

There were two people coming here.

“How is the chief?”

“I don’t know. Is it okay to not sleep like that?”

“Ugh… that person needs to be forced to sleep.”

A man dressed in frugal clothes sighed and turned away, and a mischievous smile appeared on the face of the woman he was talking to.

“Do you like the chief that much?”

“What?! I’m just···! If you leave it like that, it looks like you’ll die…”

The woman also nodded and hugged the paper she was holding to her chest.

“That’s right. Because you haven’t slept for three days already.”

“Anyway, I’m going.”

“Go, go.”

three days.

···The man’s eyes were not without romantic feelings.

There is a lot of fresh love in the air.

Yes, because Edeline is pretty.

The man takes out a bundle of keys from his belt and picks the lock.

I walked quietly behind him, and followed the man who walked slightly faster.

Perhaps this was a place to stay and eat, but there were cots and various daily necessities around.

“I have brought the documents requested by the chief.”

“Thank you.”

Someone with long, familiar black hair was sitting back and drawing something on a blueprint.

“You’re pushing yourself too hard. You haven’t slept for three days already, right?”

“···I will just finish this design and take a break.”

It was a familiar yet foreign voice.

The Edeline I’ve seen has never been tired.

But Edeline was clearly exhausted now.

“···It’s already been two days since you said that.”

“I’m fine.”

“There’s no way you can be efficient if you push yourself like that without stopping, right?”

As Edeline continued to urge, she turned to face the man.

“I’m okay…”

When I smile at Edeline, she also looks at me.

The eyes are like those of a scholar exploring natural phenomena.

Are you that curious about how I came back alive?

“···I don’t think so.”

“It’s okay…yeah?”

I can’t say anything until this man disappears.

So I kept my mouth shut and ignored the situation.

“I should go in and sleep.”

“Yes! I will organize it.”

“No. Leave it as is.”

Edeline puts down the object she was fiddling with and stands up.

Soon, Edeline smiled at the man.

“Thank you for your concern.”

“Oh, no…”

It was not a consistently blunt voice.

He had completely regained his emotions.

I walked along with Edeline heading to the bedroom.

The man smiles contagiously, turns around and walks to the ground.

Edeline was as calm as ever.

I felt sorry for that.

‘How are you alive?!’ Because I was expecting the same reaction.

Seeing him like this made me think that I had done something wrong.

‘Was it right not to come?’

Wasn’t he the one who had a hard time because of me?

‘Edeline will be waiting for me inside.’

What should I say when I go in?

Let’s start by saying hello.

I stepped into the room Edeline walked into.

“Edeline, how have you been?”

I entered the bedroom, saying hello as usual, but Inyoung was nowhere to be found.

The bulging blanket stole my gaze.

When I asked where he was, he found himself on the bed with a blanket over his head.

Grief, sorrow, longing, guilt…

I couldn’t quickly put my hand on the emotions that came to me.

He seems to think I’m hallucinating.

There are still about 10 days left to relax.

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to spend this much time with Edeline.

I put my weight on the rocking chair and closed my eyes.

·

Something soft is skimming my face.

It smells like apples.

You can tell without having to open your eyes.

That’s Edeline’s hand.

When I opened my eyes, there was a wall in front of me.

The panicked look in his eyes as he stares at me is ridiculously cute.

“How have you been?”

“Gear, what the hell is this…!”

It seems like he was planning on observing me.

Thinking it was an illusion.

He cracks his fingers, then looks at me again.

“I guess you were very tired yesterday?”

“······.”

The wall glances at me.

He still looks like he doesn’t believe it.

The way I closed my eyes and twitched my eyes in and out, it was as if I was denying reality.

“Ri Si-hyeon is dead. In front of my eyes.”

“But you’re here in front of Edeline like this, right?”

“No one can come back from death.”

“I didn’t come back from death, I died and was reborn.”

Only then did Edeline look up at me with a bewildered expression.

Craxxmara spoke to me.

Even if you forgive yourself, others may want to be punished.

He was right.

“I came back to life, but my precious person died. As I became a dead person, powder was scattered in my arms.”

Edeline’s panic began to get worse.

“Sorry, sorry.”

“Seth, the new dragon’s agent, helped me, but Edelin, the same dragon’s agent, pushed me to hell.”

“Sorry…!”

I feel a gentle tremor above my body.

The gloomy look in his eyes, filled with fear and guilt, touched me deeper than words.

“There were only me, Shir and Jules. It really was just the two of them, so did they have to take everything away from me? I really trusted Edeline.”

“Sorry…”

If I hadn’t meant it, I would have definitely done something.

However, when that clumsy apology and the remorse in his eyes flowed out, I couldn’t do that anymore.

Any trace of resentment melts away like snow.

“Is this going to end with you saying sorry?”

He hugged Edeline, who was crying bitterly, and buried her in his chest.

I have lost something to this person, but I have also gained something at the same time.

“I will forgive you. And I never forget.”

This person still hasn’t forgotten what happened 14 years ago and remembers it like it was yesterday. If I hadn’t forgiven you, you would have lived like this for the rest of your life.

forever.

“When I was fourteen… when I first met Edeline, do you remember confronting the Wall Watcher? I always wondered why I didn’t die back then. Everyone said it was a miracle that I was alive.”

─There are no miracles in the world.

Everything goes as planned.

Blood makes up less than 10% of body weight, and as a child, I could die if I lost 700mL of blood, let alone 1L.

Strangely enough, all the arrows missed.

A soldier is not a minor character in an action movie who only knows how to shoot.

To make matters worse, I collapsed without being able to eat the Precious Blood.

More than 1L of blood clearly flowed from the body, which was full of holes.

I definitely should have died.

“Why couldn’t those people hit me with a bow? Why did Edeline use glowing magic?”

When Dragonia, who was distributing holy blood and a cure for the Black Death, read people’s memories, no rays of light came out at all.

at all.

And I only found out after hearing all the facts from Seth.

Edeline was helping me.

From the first meeting.

“You made the Wall Guardian’s dark-adapted vision dizzy so that it would be easier for me to escape, right? He said he was hunting harmful birds and saved me from a bear, giving me a chance to escape, and saved my life when I was about to die from excessive bleeding.”

And then he quietly left.

Thanks to this, I was able to avoid being hit by a bow.

Because their eyesight was limited, they wouldn’t have been able to see me clearly.

“Thanks to you, I can continue my cursed life. So I never forget.”

Even if that was the dragon’s will.

“You are my benefactor.”

Edeline’s delicate hands embrace me.

I buried my face in my chest, hiding the tears that felt like they would burst out at any moment.

“···Ugh! Hmm…! Hmm…”

A muffled cry echoed quietly from the basement.
