Episode 107. In search of a dog
‘Wasn’t there a thief before? How did the residents not know that there were undead among the bandits?’
In the midst of chaos between life and death, it was a scene where swords were dug into both enemies and neighbors. Most of the corpses on the floor were already soaked in blood and covered in dirt. Even when daylight comes, how will you know whether this is the remains of a neighbor or a rotting corpse?
Moreover, the elderly innkeeper also said that he had seen a wizard only once in his life. If he didn’t know about a being that doesn’t die even if he dies, he wouldn’t be able to even guess.
‘If not, the thief may have brought the undead for the first time. I guess I’ll have to check later.’
Crash!
“If you run away!!”
Beyond the wooden wall, Beric’s loud cheers were heard.
“I’ll kill them all!!”
“Ugh! “Fuck you!”
“If you want to live, lie down!”
Sigh!
The refreshing sound of the throat being cut mingled with the screams. Although it was partially hidden by a wall, the situation was clearly visible. They will roam the streets more freely and fiercely than an eagle crossing the sky.
That’s the moment.
Quang!
A thief who escaped from the inn alive entered the stable. He was beaten by Beric and his teeth are all crushed.
Romandro’s surprised subordinate drew his sword, but hesitated due to the fierce force of the thief. In the first place, the subordinate was a secretary, so it was not unreasonable.
“Huh!”
“Fuck off, fuck! Get out of the way!”
“Yes, yes you bastard! “Where am I?”
Coo!
The undead chasing after the thief lost his balance and hit his head against the wall. The subordinate was so surprised that he dropped the tip of his sword to the floor. Because the condition of the person I saw in the dark was unusual.
“Well, what about that…?” … .”
“You’ve probably heard of the undead.”
“Undead? omg!”
When the subordinate covered his mouth in surprise, the thief attacked in triumph. He immediately aimed his sword at the nape of his subordinate’s neck.
Sigh!
In fact, it was only Ian’s second time seeing the undead.
This is because necromancy itself was a discipline studied primarily in the East rather than in Bariel. The level was particularly high in areas where war was frequent, and as the corpses piled up, the efficiency of necromancy also increased.
“Aaaah!”
Before the thief’s sword pierced the subordinate’s neck, Ian stretched out his hand, condensed his magical power, and exploded it.
Pow! pop!
Magic power exploded and the man’s head was bent at a right angle. The undead that followed approached Ian, clattering like a broken machine.
Pow!
One last time. Ian completely blew the guy’s head off and then covered his nose with her sleeve. The rotten me bursting out of my brain shook everywhere.
“Hey, Ian. Are you okay?”
“I guess I should ask you that.”
“Oh, I’m fine. Go, thank you!”
“Hurry and find Romandro.”
“yes! All right!”
Ian crouched down as he watched Romandro’s men run away. I don’t feel like it, but I’m wondering if I have something that could be a clue.
First of all, the thief.
Sigh.
The thief fainted with his mouth wide open, not even able to moan. Ian put his hands in every available space, including his inner and back pockets.
“hmm?”
At that time, something caught on my fingertips. He has a knack for making people feel quite uncomfortable just by the touch… … .
“this.”
It’s human hair. Something black and curved was wrapped around a flat wooden paddle. Ian frowned and looked down at the strange object.
And it didn’t take long to notice that the hair of the undead whose brain had exploded was black and curly.
* * *
“Oh, the dog got robbed.”
Beric, covered in blood, put his arms around his waist and muttered. This was because the thieves had robbed the inn’s warehouse, so there was no food.
“You guys have absolutely no morals whatsoever.”
“Berrick. Even if I look at an empty space, nothing comes out. Let’s get out quickly. “The subordinate I sent to find Romandro doesn’t even have his nose in sight.”
“Uh oh. okay.”
It was roughly a couple of hours later that Beric lifted his sword. Armed guards poured into the streets to drive out the bandits, and Beric, knowingly or unknowingly, held the balance and led the sweep.
“The confusion was unusual, so I guess I couldn’t move easily.”
“What if Romandro is dead?”
“You should say that in front of Romandro.”
“iced coffee. okay. cancellation. “If I get upset, it lasts for a long time and I don’t like it.”
In the streets, guards were busy putting out fires and organizing corpses. It seemed even more difficult because it was a cold, windy winter night.
“Aaaah!”
“Oh my, don’t cry. are you okay.”
“Hey, the injured people, come this way!”
“I can’t move by myself. help.”
“These bastards. What is all this in the middle of a winter night? “Are we going to die together?”
“Check to see if any sparks come back to life!”
Beric must have managed to find a piece of bread and came out after Ian, holding it in his mouth. Then he tilted his head, looking to his left and right.

“Where are we going?”
“First, let’s go to the place where the shops are gathered.”
“there! Two people!”
It was then. I heard a voice calling them from behind.
“You’re an outsider, right? “Are you a traveler?”
“Yes. “You will be the guard captain.”
The guard captain’s mouth hardened as he watched Ian. How can these things without even dried blood on their heads spit out informal language?
However, I decided not to say anything because of the red-haired man standing behind Ian. Earlier, I saw with my own eyes how the author slaughtered the thieves.
‘It is clear that he is an unusually talented person.’
If they are mercenaries wandering aimlessly, it would be a good idea to give them a small favor and ask for their help.
“Hmm. His name is Ulan, Karenna’s guard captain. “Thank you for your help, but due to procedural issues, I would like to verify your identity.”
At the guard’s request, Ian took out his identification card from his inner pocket.
“I’m on my way up to the center to attend the New Year’s party. I am Ian, this is Beric, and the person we are going to find from now on is Romandro. “He is an advisor to the imperial palace.”
The guard captain’s face turned pale at the unexpected words.
Attending the New Year’s party? An advisor to the imperial palace?
It was clear that he was a member of the royal family, or at least a nobleman, or at least he had a status corresponding to that. I thought he was a wandering mercenary… . He immediately took off his hat and bowed his head.
“Excuse me, sir. Please forgive my rudeness.”
“How come the security didn’t take any action while those guys came in here? From what I heard, there has already been one attack.”
“sorry. Because it is a small city, three cities are forming an alliance. “Unfortunately, there was a problem there, so the guards were dispatched.”
“Thanks to you, I lost my carriage. There are items in it that need to be taken to the imperial palace, but I’m in a very difficult situation. “Doesn’t permitting the operation of an inn here mean at least guaranteeing the safety of travelers?”
As Ian calmly explained his damage, the guard captain felt as if his vision was becoming distant. Aside from the damage to Karenna, the imperial palace items were lost!
The words ‘X is done’ were the only words that lingered in my head.
“Where is the market?”
Places without a lord were run under the responsibility of a mayor dispatched from the center. Although he used to be treated like a semi-nobleman, he ended up receiving a salary. There were suspicions of dereliction of duty as he did not show up even after these four months.
“Mayor, that’s… … .”
“Iaaaaan!”
Romandro’s voice suddenly cut off the guard captain’s words. After coming out of the alley, his situation is no different from that of a beggar. His hair was covered in hay and dust, and his clothes were badly torn here and there.
“Romandro. Are you okay?”
“oh my god. What is this, really? I, I went to Hwangcheon-gil and finally came back. Wow, all sorts of things happened while I was drinking, but wow. Is this really… … .”
“From what you’re saying, are you okay?”
Romandro barely held his heaving chest and spoke gibberish. He smiled faintly, indicating that Ian agreed with Beric’s words. Although it wasn’t in perfect shape, it was completely intact without a single scratch.
“You’re fine, you idiot! “I thought I was going to die!”
“You’re not dead. Oh really. “Your ears are falling off.”
“Hey, are you by any chance an advisor to the imperial palace?”
“uh? Uh oh. Is that so?”
“nice to see you! “This is Guard Captain Orlan!”
The guard captain, who was standing awkwardly, bowed again and said hello. But Roman Dro waved his hand as if he had no interest and tried to enter the inn.
“At least change your clothes, okay. And let’s talk.”
“Romandro. “The carriage was robbed.”
“huh?”
At Ian’s words, Romandro blinked and asked back. It seemed like he couldn’t understand it at all. Beric is holding on here like hell, what on earth is going on?
“I think they stole it while raiding the inn. I think they saw us in the forest and attacked us as targets. “When I came down, it was already empty.”
“No, that’s not it!”
My mouth dropped open.
There’s a pile of documents, and more importantly, isn’t there a high-grade magic stone? Beric casually patted his chin and muttered.
“If you don’t have a change of clothes, can I borrow them for you?”
“It’s the clothes that are the problem!?”
“ah. “This time it went to my left ear.”
“Ian! Ian! What should I do with this? It’s crazy, really! “Do you think they know what’s in the carriage?”
The guard captain, who was watching Romandro’s fuss, also broke into a cold sweat. It was real. It was clear that he contained something very valuable.
“I don’t think so. “If they knew what was inside, it’s like saying they knew who we were, but they opened the door and came in without fear.”
“Huh. Jeenjang.”
It simply means that you were robbed unluckily. When Roman Dro collapsed in his seat, his men struggled to support him.
“Is everyone else okay?”
“Our kids were all fine. “I don’t know what happened because the coachmen said they drank separately.”
Ian nodded as if he was glad. He then instructed the guard captain by pointing inside with his chin.
“First of all, take care of the thieves and the corpses inside the inn. I need to run some errands for a while. “I’d like to see the mayor for a moment.”
“Ah yes. All right.”
“Ian, where are you going?”
In response to Romandro’s question, Ian looked through his compass. And he just mutters, recalling the way he came during the day.
“I’m going to Danil.”
“Daniil?”
“I heard that the abandoned village I saw earlier during the day is called Dani, but contrary to expectations, it doesn’t seem to be a garrison of bandits. Beric! “Bring two horses out of the stable.”
What are you going to do there if it’s not the base of a group of bandits? Ian responded calmly to Romandro’s dumbfounded expression.
“I’m going to look for the dog.”
“okay. This time it’s my turn. “Am cancer.”
Beric said it was good and even his shoulders were shaking.
No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed like he had a clue to all the strangely intertwined situations.
‘A band of bandits, necromancy, a talking dog, and even a decimated village and Ministry of Magic. To find the carriage, you first need to understand the overall situation.’
Heehee!
“Yaaaaan! let’s go!”
“Romandro. I’ll be back. “Please take care of the rest.”
Without hesitation, Ian and Beric got on their horses and waved the reins. Two people running down a messy road. Romandro shouted at his back.
“Fuck!! “Please find the carriage!!”
