YM778.TV Chapter 661
As I walk along the path on the other side of the wall with the magic circle drawn on it, the passage gradually becomes narrower…
“Hey… I’m not curious about what’s outside at all…”
Traddling along…
“How about we go exploring with other colleagues and call it a day?” “
How
can I do this?” Please let go!”
I thought there would be no answer if things continued like this, but the GM’s tone gradually became harsher as he was dragged in as if he was being kidnapped
. Oh, of course, it was cute from the barbarian’s point of view, but
did it seem like a chick was squeaking?
“Jurben Havellion…”
He releases the arm he was holding and looks at him…
“…Why are you looking at him like that?”
“Give me some time for a few days. In a way, meeting like this is fate. Wouldn’t it be nice if we get to know each other?”
“Even if it’s not for social purposes, I can make time at any time…” “
But I can make time at any time…
The moment I send it back, I’ll be locked in the magic tower and won’t come out…
“But it’s a bit strange…”
“ yes?”
“Why are you whining like this to be sent back? “You’re a wizard by name, but aren’t you curious about the outside world?”
“···I only question what I can handle·”
It was quite an impressive iron rule·
If you pursue a long and thin life, there is no easier or quicker way than closing your eyes and plugging your ears·
‘···He is like this. I guess that’s the secret to surviving for a long time…’
I feel like I understand the GM person better through those words…
Well, I don’t plan on just letting him go…
“But please help me out a little… Huh? At first glance, it seems
like he is pleading using his friendship with Versil, but from the GM’s perspective, it sounds like a threat…
“Keuhum…”
“I will make a promise… If something dangerous happens, I will be with you.” I will definitely block it even if I have to throw it, right? And it won’t take a few days. I’m just planning to check it out and then come back…” ”
If you say so…”
I soon suggested a carrot as well, and the GM nodded, pretending not to win…
Okay, then this problem is over… ·
“Then we will keep moving…”
After the agreement was reached, we walked along the passage again.
The passage, which had been gradually narrowing, did not get any narrower at a certain point, and as we continued to walk for a while, the passage gradually widened and a sloping path appeared. ·
And····
Ssaaaaaaaa!
As I go up the hill, I can feel the wind and the light slowly coming in.
I don’t know if it’s my mood, but it feels a little different from the nature I felt in the city
.
I slowly looked around…
The sunset was half-hidden by the mountains in the distance…
The stream was dyed red by the setting sun…
A bird had built a nest on a tree and was chirping…
And…
“That must be Lapdonia…”
The sunset On the other side of this land, you can see a huge wall erected high in the distance…
It was so high and so wide and so wide that you couldn’t see the end of it, like looking at the Great Wall of China… ‘This
is my first time seeing the exterior…’
While playing the game, I never went outside the castle walls, so seeing Lafdonia from this angle was very unfamiliar—·
“Havelion, what are you doing now?”
“I was looking at it for a bit… I saw unfamiliar letters that I had never seen before…”
Unfamiliar letters?
As I tilt my head and approach the entrance to the cave we exited earlier, I see a mark on the smooth wall that looks like it was made with a knife… [I
came…]
[Daehan Geon Lee Baek-ho…]
Ha… Why am I so embarrassed?
I almost burst into laughter without realizing it, but I held it back and opened my mouth, pretending not to know…
“… I don’t think it’s an ancient language, but it’s unusual…”
“Yes… It’s unusual… It seems familiar in some way, but…”
I guess it’s GM. It doesn’t seem like he doesn’t know much about Hangul, but it doesn’t mean he can’t understand it. If I suddenly see something like Hebrew, I
do
n’t think I’ll be able to recognize what country it’s in. As
I was looking at Baekho Lee’s scribbles with that in mind, the GM secretly gave me some advice…
“If you’re planning on leaving your name or something like that, it’s better not to do it. It’ll be proof that you’ve been out. If the royal family sees it, it could be interpreted as
treason
. ”
Seeing the GM nodding, I turned around and quenched my appetite…
“····”
What is this that makes me want to leave something behind, too?
***
According to the clown, the world outside the castle walls has a structure similar to the 7th layer of the Labyrinth, the Dark Continent…
Then, where are we now?
I think we should first find something to use as a reference point…
‘If that’s the Dragon Mountain Range… I guess this is near the great forest?’
If so, the current location is approximate…
The Great Forest is located in the southeastern part of the Dark Continent…
And this place seems to be further east of the Great Forest…
‘Can I say it is about the eastern part of the Great Forest?’
Of course, this is all just a guess and I can’t be sure…
The atmosphere is completely different from the labyrinth in the first place, so I’m not sure…
‘Anyway, I’ll figure this out gradually…’
“But… Where do you want to go now?”
When asked by GM about my future plans, I answered immediately without any hesitation:
“First, I will go towards the city…”
“Towards the city… Do you mean?”
“Why do you look like that?”
“Honestly, I thought the Baron would say let’s go into the forest right away…”
Uh… To be honest, I’m curious about that forest…
However, it’s risky for the two of us to go too far, and I want to look around the castle walls and check first. There was one…
Therefore…
“Just keep using the detection magic and follow along… Since it’s an unknown world… I think anything can come out…” ”
Yes… Just remember the coordinates and go, just in case…”
“Oh good… ”
We headed east, leaving behind a forest that looked so peaceful that it could be called the ‘big forest’ of the Dark Continent…
And how long had passed…
‘The map is really big…’
The setting sun had already disappeared beyond the mountains and appeared in the black night sky. Even though the stars were shining, we haven’t even reached the castle walls yet.
Or maybe we’re halfway there?
‘···I thought we’d arrive in a few hours…’
It was an incident that occurred because the place we were in was a highland area and the castle walls were very high.
Should I say it was like a mirage?
No matter how far I go, I don’t feel like I’m getting closer
at all… “That’s all for today… I’ll spend the night here and move again tomorrow…”
As night fell and the castle walls were no longer visible, I just prepared to camp around here…
Just in case I went in the wrong direction. I decided that if I moved, I would only waste more time.
“… It’s been a long time since I slept under a blanket.”
As I was lying down in my sleeping bag looking at the starry night sky, the GM next to me spoke to me.
Well, it’s getting late at night. Have you become emotional?
I don’t know the details of his change of heart, but it was clear that this was the starting point of the small talk I had hoped for.
“You used to be an explorer too, right?”
“Yes, it was already more than 7 years ago…”
“…How did you end up stopping exploration?”
“It’s just… a lot of things happened… It was also a time when I felt my own limitations…”
Seeing that he said ‘many things’, it looks like he doesn’t want to go into detail…
Or maybe it was a situation where he couldn’t talk about it carelessly…
‘As soon as I quit being an explorer, I immediately spent 7 years locked away in the Magic Tower…’
I don’t know GM’s circumstances, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know anything about the traces of GM’s life…
That’s because I’ve done that much background research…
‘It’s clear. There must be a reason why he became a reclusive loner…’
According to my intuition, the cause is not that guy himself, but something external…
Wang Ga, him, or Lee Baek-ho…
“Still, lying down like this makes me feel at ease…”
“What kind of change of heart is that? Just now, I hated it as if I was taking them to hell…”
“I still hate it… But I still like this one thing…”
“What is that?”
“No one knows I’m here…”
Only then did I understand why this guy said he was at peace…
It seemed like he was also under surveillance from the royal family…
Last time, he came out of the magic tower for a moment and was surprised by Lee Baek-ho. There was also a case where…
Should I say that there are more enemies in the city?
‘If this is the case, I should never say that Lee Baek-ho is out…’
I was careful not to make any unfavorable statements and continued to have a light conversation…
“You mean lover…? As I am older, I have never met a woman before, but they all ended well…”
As I am not good at dating,
“Are you talking about the school I first joined? Actually… I don’t want to talk about that… I’m sorry…”
Surprisingly, in situations where he wants to lie or gloss over things, he chooses to tackle them head-on…
Or maybe the incident is just unpleasant for him…
‘I’ll have to look into this in more detail later… ‘
The school he first joined was completely disbanded due to an incident, and he later founded the current school.
Unfortunately, it was difficult to find detailed records about the ‘incident’.
Everything is treated as a top secret. one?
All I know is that the incident was related to forbidden magic…
‘I’ll have to meet Uncle Kyle later and ask him/her… I’ll tell you about forbidden magic…’
After that, we talked about things that weren’t like poetry until we fell asleep, and we talked about trivial things like that. There were things I realized anew through the conversation·
I, Baekho Lee, and this guy are similar in many ways·
That I am not on the player’s side, nor on the royal family’s side, nor on Noark’s side·
***
The next morning that dawned like that·
“Did you sleep well?”
“My whole body feels sore…”
“Here, drink some water… Then you’ll feel better…” “
…What does that have to do with the aches?”
“Don’t worry about the little things…”
As soon as we got up, we finished eating and headed straight towards the castle walls…
“
We’ve finally arrived…”
“The arrival is only just beginning…”
As the sun set again, the castle walls When we arrived nearby, we rode along the outside of the castle wall and continued on. It
is also mentioned in the few documents.
‘Lapdonia’, located at the edge of the continent, was a territory with trade as its main source of income.
In other words,
there was a sea near Lapdonia. There must be…
Tuk-tuk…
A transparent barrier formed along the outer wall that can be felt even by hitting it with your hand… After
moving around it all night, we arrived at Area 10, Area 9, which can be said to be the east of Lapdonia, before dawn…
But… ··
“It’s dark and I can’t see anything· The sun will dawn soon, so it seems better to wait until then·”
“You’ll be tired, but at least close your eyes during this time·”
The problem was after I woke up after a sigh·
“Baron…? Wake up! What on earth is that…”
“Let’s get closer first…” As
soon as we woke up, we were mesmerized by the scenery in the distance, and for a moment we hurried to the spot…
and…
“
…
It was spread out wide…
One problem is…
‘grey…’
The sea is gray…
No, not only the sea, but also the sky…
The lapping waves,
the clouds engraved in the sky, and
everything beyond the canyon is a black and white photo. It seems as if it was filmed with a loss of color, and
it stands still. Looking at the scene blankly, the GM muttered,
“… The world has never been fine…”
