Episode 134
“Jeron, isn’t that person him?”
Erdin quickly touches Jeron’s arm and asks.
Behind Scorpio was a cavalry commander riding a war horse.
“that’s right.”
Jeron nodded and looked around, but Duke Furion was not there. He raised his energy, but his presence was not felt. The cavalry commander came alone. He pulled his robe slightly lower, hiding his face. He decided that it would not be good for Duke Furion to hear that he was here.
‘I think it’s going to be a hassle.’
Duke Furion is both fond and distrustful of him. He is distrustful of not being able to understand the favor and clear identity of a strong man who has reached a similar level.
Distrust can never be resolved unless we go to the kingdom that has risen together. The best way to avoid annoyances is to be as inconspicuous as possible.
‘It doesn’t suit my temperament, but I can’t help it.’
Jeron had a bad temper, but he wasn’t proud. He compromised whenever he had to compromise. Otherwise, he would have died over a hundred times in the martial arts world.
As the soldiers passed by, they moved again. I found the best inn in town, got a room, and left. I had no intention of going out to exterminate the monster right away. The first thing to do was to scout the surrounding terrain.
I went into a general store and bought a map.
Looking at the map, the village was located 10km away from the Everlost Mountains. It was also a highland area with a gentle curve. It was a good terrain for Mercury looking down from above.
As we left the village, we found the remains of the castle wall not far away.
“They say that in the past, an ogre destroyed it so much that it was never repaired.”
“It is said that ogres often come down near the village.”
“yes.”
When I returned after scouting the surrounding area for about an hour, I found that the village had changed a lot. In front of the village, the Scorpio was deployed forward toward the Everlost Mountains, and a military camp for soldiers was set up around it.
Additionally, merchants and merchants flocked to buy and sell goods. There were also mercenaries who arrived late on horseback.
“If I had come a little late, there would have been no room.”
“That’s right.”
“Let’s postpone small talk for a while and start eating first.”
As Erdin and Malcolm started talking, Jeron went straight to the inn. As he ordered his meal and sat down, mercenaries came rushing in to take a room.
I was already expecting that people would flock to the village once the city was full. But there will be more in the future. We need to fill up Erdin’s real-life experience before it gets crowded.
Jeron said.
“We’ll start right away tomorrow. Everyone, prepare your hearts.”
“Then I’ll eat and walk around town.”
“Why the village?”
Erdin tilted his head.
“I wanted to ask the villagers where they can find something good. my… … No, Brother Aaron and Mr. Erdin didn’t come to catch some stupid goblins or kobolds, right? “You need a proper practice partner, so trolls, minotaurs, and basilisks would be good.”
“Except the basilisk. He is in a different weight class. “It’s still too much for me.”
“Then I’ll take the giant rat. “Is Lizard Man okay too?”
Malcolm asked, looking at Jeron. When Geron nodded her head, he pounded her chest with his fist and told her to leave it to him. After a while, the meal was served, and after cleaning up, Malcolm walked around the village.
Jeron and Erdin went to buy the necessary items.
The next day, we left right after breakfast.
The Everlost Mountains span from the Eastern Continent to the Western Continent.
It is so large that there is a hypothesis that if some of the mountain ranges had not been lowered to near flat ground due to the tremendous tectonic changes 2,000 years ago, there would have been only two continents, the North and the South, instead of the four continents of East, West, South, and North. It was huge.
“You said that the place where you met the ‘Hunter in the Fog’ was also the Everlost Mountains, right?”
“that’s right. “To be exact, it was the stem of a mountain range.”
“The stem is also a mountain range.”
“omg! omg!”
“It’s not wrong, but it feels unfair.”
“What is there to be unfair about?”
“omg! omg!”
Jeron and Erdin paused for a moment and looked back.
Malcolm was running, breathing heavily. When I stopped for a moment, he hurriedly approached me, laid down and said.
“a little bit… … omg! omg! If you go slow… … omg! omg! no?”
“What should I do?”
Jeron and Erdin ran slowly out of consideration for Malcolm. Normally, it would have already been time to hunt. However, the standards of the two men and Malcolm were different.
From Malcolm’s perspective, it was like running at extreme speed.
They were two people who had become accustomed to high-speed movement and were now far from being considered ordinary.
“Don’t mercenaries walk or run a lot?”
“Instead, we rest often. They don’t run for hours like we do. Take a break while walking. Walk again and rest. “It moves like that.”
When Jeron heard those words, the above request came to mind.
“That’s how it usually moves.”
“Yes.”
“We’re almost there, so let’s take a break. “He’s on the verge of passing out.”
Malcolm was looking up at the sky with half-blurred eyes. A faint smile was on her lips, and a whiff of smoke trickled out of her flaring nostrils. She knew it was sweat evaporating as it cooled, but it felt like her soul was draining out of her.
‘no. Even if it were a vaporization phenomenon, it wouldn’t be that bad, right?’
When I moved to the side and put my finger to my nose, I felt light breathing.
“It’s alive.”
“I thought I was dead.”
Erdin seemed to have thought the same thing.
“hey.”
When I touch Malcolm, his eyes become clear and he stands up in surprise.
“omg! omg!”

Malcolm is breathing heavily.
Soon he speaks.
“I just saw something strange. “Across the dark blue river, a green meadow stretched out, where a skeleton wearing a black robe was waving a scythe.”
huh. That’s Samdocheon there.
After speaking, Jeron told Malcolm, who was breathing heavily, to rest for a moment.
“really?!”
Malcolm smiled greatly and took out a military-colored camouflage shield from his bag and placed it around him.
Erdin, surprised by the thorough preparation, stared blankly at the figure.
Jeron was disgusted in a different way and walked away from the defense-colored camouflage.
“I never thought I’d see something like that here too.”
“Why is that?”
“There is something that all men in any country hate.”
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrsk!”
While they were talking briefly, Malcolm leveled the ground, stretched out in a large shape, and started snoring.
Jeron and Erdin chuckled.
* * *
Jeron said as we arrived at the area where trolls frequently appear in the Everlost Mountains.
“From now on, we will practice in a different way.”
“In a different way?”
“We are dealing with monsters without using aurors. If a powerful entity like an ogre appears, you can use it. However, you should never use your internal attack against an entity weaker than an ogre.”
“Uhm. Would it be okay?”
“It’s not okay.”
“… … ?”
“If only it were you before.”
Jeron asked with a grin.
“What do you think is the difference between Auror Expert Advanced and Superlative Level?”
“The amount of Aurors?”
Taaaak-!
“… … !”
Erdin sat down, clutching his forehead.
Jeron blew on his finger and spoke as if it were pitiful.
“The amount of Aurors is not absolute unless it is overwhelmingly large. What is more important is how efficiently you use it. “I haven’t said it once or twice, but I get it wrong every time, and it’s no fun if I keep doing it.”
“profit! I was kidding! joke!”
“Then tell me the truth.”
“that… … .”
Erdin’s mouth closes. When Jeron raised his hand again, the guy tried to run away, but was soon caught and responded by crying and eating mustard.
“understanding… Difference in degrees?”
“Half the answers are correct.”
Jeron thought slightly and lowered his hand. Erdin breathes a sigh of relief.
In fact, only half of the answers are correct.
If you think of it in a comprehensive sense, it is close to the correct answer. However, Erdin was not fully aware of the fact and only said that it was half the answer.
“Then what is your understanding?”
“knife… … So, in my case, understanding of using windows? … … “Isn’t that right?”
“That’s only half correct.”
“Then what is the other half?”
“You have to figure that out yourself. “It’s not like I can tell you.”
He already knows the answer.
You just don’t realize it because the pieces are scattered around like an unfinished puzzle. If you tell me, you will know right away. But that’s not teaching you how to fish, it’s like catching a fish and handing it to you.
In the end, it is no different from an extension of the accelerated course.
Now is the time for Erdin to think and think for himself.
“You can think about it slowly. “It’s not urgent right now.”
Jeron patted the shoulder of the guy whose expression hardened as if he was in serious trouble and set out to find the troll.
There are many unknown species in the Everlost Mountains whose identities have not yet been revealed.
Since the main purpose was Erdin’s practical experience, I did not go into depth. However, someone might say that it would be better to spar with monsters rather than fight them.
It’s not wrong.
However, there were clear limitations to the sparring between Geron and Erdin.
I’ve mentioned it before, but it’s a sense of crisis about death.
Erdin was confident in his heart that even if Jeron pushed him to the brink of death, he would not ultimately kill him.
That mindset was the problem.
So the limit to growth in sparring comes quickly.
“There are traces of going this way.”
Malcolm found traces of the troll. But he didn’t just find traces of trolls. Traces of an ogre were also discovered.
“Is this the boundary between ogres and trolls?
Unless there was only one apex predator, like ‘Ethan’s Hideout’, the method of distinguishing the monster’s territory was simple.
It’s the toilet.
It was the same as animals marking their territory. The traces of ogres and trolls that Malcolm found were also feces and urine. There are traces left by two types of monsters 1m apart. This is to inform them that from this point on, it is their territory and they should not invade it any further.
“It looks like there isn’t just one troll.”
“I think ogres are more of a problem than trolls?”
As Malcolm spoke carefully, Erdin asked back with a shocked expression. Sometimes, there are people who put the strengths of ogres and trolls on the same level. They argued that even the ogre’s might could not do anything about the troll’s incredible regenerative power.
It is true that trolls can regenerate severed arms or legs. But he was saying that because he didn’t see the fight between the ogre and the troll.
Trolls captured by ogres are torn alive, their limbs torn off or their spines torn out, pinned to the ground, and then trampled to a pulp. It was definitely not an exaggeration. Such cases have also been found in reality.
Nevertheless, the reason the above claim continues to appear is because a special individual appears among trolls.
I’m not talking about named.
Named monsters were special entities that were higher than anything special. A representative example was ‘Hunter in the Fog’. However, the special entities I was talking about now were referring to people like troll shamans.
Just then Malcolm said he had discovered something.
“Come by and take a look at this.”
