Chapter 316: Candidates (3)

A man came out of the ogre’s stomach.

It was a pale corpse, completely drained of blood.

got caught got caught up

At that fact, a thick cold sweat flowed down Assistant Trolin’s temple. gulp. Sticky spittle ran down the back of his neck.

“I, I, I mean, this… … .”

My fingertips trembled.

A heavy silence seemed to choke me.

Adrian, who was staring at the body, ordered.

“Take it out.”

“yes yes?”

The tip of the sword pierced the clothes.

The aide was frightened by the sharp killing that could be felt through his skin and took two steps forward.

Approaching the ogre, he stretched out his arm.

“Oops… … Ug… … !!”

Soggy intestines.

His face contorted at the faint warmth he felt. Even though he vomited over and over again, he finally endured regurgitating the contents.

A heavy weight that is difficult for ordinary people to handle.

Deputy Trolin struggled, desperately managed to get the corpse out and lay it on the floor.

Adrian’s gaze followed him down.

‘Rough fingertips. There are old shallow scars on the limbs, and the body has undergone some training.’

Traces of gathering something or fighting against something small.

‘I’m an adventurer.’

When he was alive, his rating would have been low.

The lowest rank, Baek-Gyeol rank, even if you pay a lot, it will be the highest rank.

But what to do with the adventurer’s corpse?

To consider it simply human trafficking… … It was not clear.

Since he was already dead, there might be things he couldn’t handle like a slave, but most importantly, the scars were strange.

The side is hollowed out by something like sharp claws.

If you look at the organs ripped off, it’s a fatal wound. It was evident that he had not even received the miracle of the Church of Luas, and died of excessive blood loss and agony within a few minutes.

In other words, dying in the middle of a battle with an alien species. It wasn’t that he was kidnapped separately and killed by humans.

‘Trading only corpses… … .’

And the Luas Bridge is trying to investigate it.

As far as Adrian knew, there were only two things that fit that intersection.

‘First a devil worshiper.’

Heteromorphic species that form the antipode of the Church of Luas, twisted people who praise the devil and contract with it to obtain power and knowledge.

For them, human sacrifice is a part of life.

‘But their active area must be the central continent.’

I know that it is difficult to find it in other continents.

It was because the Church of Luas was monitoring the borders of the central continent and thoroughly preventing the devil worshipers from going out to other continents.

Of course, I can’t guarantee that it won’t happen at all, but the possibility is remarkably low.

‘If it was like that in the first place, I wouldn’t have secretly hired an adventurer to investigate.’

He would have immediately dispatched a Heretic Inquisitor, an expert in subjugating demons, and destroyed the upper part of River Run.

The Church of Luas does not spare blood in matters related to the devil.

So it’s not the devil.

Then there was only one thing left.

‘Warlock.’

The identities of those who are trading with the River Run market. That was Adrian’s answer.

The ceiling shook along the way.

Kikkik, Kikkik.

The floor of the deck creaked in line with the sound of dozens of footsteps. Several signs led to the stairs leading down.

‘It just went well.’

I still needed physical evidence that the black magician was involved, but I thought he would come on his own without having to go to the trouble.

“100 million… … !”

Lightly hitting the back of the neck, he stunned Trollin’s aide.

Then, along with the adventurer’s corpse, it was roughly thrown on top of the ogre and covered with a huge cloth.

Outwardly, there is no problem.

Adrian disappeared into the darkness.

Soon after, the door opened and a number of people walked into the morgue.

“Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, I’m getting annoyed with checking myself one by one every time like this. If it wasn’t for that goddamned market jitters, I’d have had the other guys do it. Isn’t it?”

“Sorry, Your Excellency.”

“Tsk tsk, I’m going to call you a knight.”

A man who yawns and condescends.

Judging by the continuous sound of metal hitting each other around it, they are all fully armed.

‘The Knights.’

In particular, those in the middle are markedly different.

That was enough by Adrian’s standards, it was certain that he was classified as a strong person in the world.

That was then.

“Well, it seems that it wasn’t so useless.”

The man wrinkled his nose.

“Seeing a rat come in like this.”

In an instant, the bowstring is pulled.

The two arrows placed on it rushed across the air.

Adrian turned his head to the side.

Kwajik. The arrow that penetrated halfway through the wall stopped.

‘You have a good sense of smell.’

It seems that he noticed the smell of corruption that was stronger than usual.

The other arrow was directed toward the ogre corpse.

A shock that pierced the middle of the forehead that hit the trollin aide.

He was in a state of unconsciousness, so there was no pain. His arm, killed instantly by the blow, came out of the cloth and limp.

The knights who drew their swords in unison approached and lifted the cloth.

The man furrowed his eyebrows.

“Trollin? I didn’t expect the situation where the human who went to meet the adventurer’s guild leader was hugging an ogre here… … . Well, I can’t help it because I’m dead. How long will you be hiding there?”

The magic stone lamp hanging on the wall flies.

In the soft light, Adrian’s shadow stretched.

He walked out slowly and slightly raised his head. The gaze hidden under the robe stared at the opponent.

A man with a dark gray metallic bow.

A person in a position to lead a knight, who can insult the mayor by mentioning it.

“Are you the guardian of the river run?”

“Yes, it is Sandorn Gusava. Hmm, I guess I didn’t get here by accident, since I recognized who I was right away. Seriously, where did you get the smell from? so who are you? Perhaps an adventurer dispatched from the adventurer headquarters… … no no. done.”

Sandorn shook his head.

“You’ll find out if you take him in and interrogate him anyway, but you don’t need to strain yourself right away. Just cut off a few fingers and bring them to me. Don’t die along the way.”

The knight who received the order strode forward.

The sword is full of life. Neither the corpse of a race nor the human body that was kept inside it showed any signs of embarrassment.

Everyone, including Sandorn, did.

Everyone was an accomplice.

“There is no need to capture them all alive.”

Adrian put his hand on the demonic sword, Cedence.

Hoo-wook.

A weak wind blew.

A blue blade cut through the air in the blink of an eye. Before he knew it, Adrian was passing by the article that was approaching him.

“uh… … .”

Fuhuaaak!

A fountain of blood suddenly gushed out.

The knight, who had been cut through his armor, collapsed with a clang. A puddle of pooled blood beneath it grew and soaked the floor.

Adrian faced Sandorn.

“Guide the mayor.”

“Crazy bastard.”

that was the signal

Sandorn showed his teeth and drew an arrow.

At the same time, the knights rushed in formation or calculated magic in the back row.

Adrian raised the blade without wavering.

A ship rocking wildly.

Soon, the sound of an explosion ringing the dawn.

It was the beginning of the uproar.

* * *

When I moved the space, a room that was tightly blocked on all sides was reflected in my field of vision.

The air was circulating smoothly thanks to the magic items installed on the ceiling.

There are three long sofas and a square table in the center of the room, and many snacks and drinks are placed in the corner.

‘Is there anyone else?’

I’ve heard that the Ark’s new recruits share the same waiting room.

Looks like it hasn’t arrived yet.

With that in mind, Verden was about to settle down.

Magical power rushed from the left corner.

Soon, a space movement formed on the floor and a shadow was cast.

A person wearing a robe.

Although the body was small, judging from the appearance, the gender was close to that of a man.

It’s clear that he’s a wizard, seeing that he can feel his magic power.

“Whoa, it’s finally here. This is the candidate waiting room… … .”

A strange wizard encountered Verden.

A moment of silence passed.

The wizard, who blinked blankly, came to his senses belatedly. Clearing his throat, he straightened his back and puffed out his chest.

“All, you are a new candidate like me. Nice to meet you like this.”

A young yet tense voice.

Awkward way of speaking, as if trying to show adulthood.

The hand exposed outside the robe was white and clean, but calluses were firmly embedded in the part of the finger that normally holds the pen holder.

a clear feature.

‘You’re an academy student.’

* * *

The super-giant city of the Central Continent, Gargant.

A place where individuals, groups, magic towers, nations, etc. all have their eyes on and put their feet on it. The academy located there has nurtured countless talents by teaching.

Verden has never been to the Central Continent.

However, I was relatively familiar with the academy. Because he had seen the students who had come on field trips to the Bohemirn Magic Tower over and over again.

‘Actually, there was a time when I was in charge of guiding as a researcher at the end of the Mage Tower.’

This was before becoming an unofficial test subject.

Anyway, starting with the workers of the Mage Tower, I had been seeing and contacting the tour students for well over 10 years, so I couldn’t know if I didn’t know.

A voice that tries to look mature for its age.

At the same time, like the wizard of the Mage Tower, he did not use a classy tone like an old man or show his arrogance and conceit.

And there.

“Hmmmm, it’s very enjoyable to study the mysteries of magic alone, but I think it’s really nice to be with like-minded people like this. Oh, the snacks and drinks here are delicious, would you like some?”

Even the appearance of sincerely enjoying fruit juice and sweets.

Anyone can see that he doesn’t look like an old wizard.

‘Looking at it this way, it’s quite new.’

It is a type that is difficult to encounter after coming to the East Continent.

Of course, it wasn’t that there were no similar people.

For example, like Iris, an academy graduate who had a passion for learning magic and an adventurer who taught Verden magic.

Verden did not bother to point out the opponent’s attitude.

While matching the rhythm appropriately, he handed over the snacks and drinks he recommended.

“Thank you.”

“Bye, don’t say anything.”

The wizard laughed awkwardly.

Scratching the tip of his chin, he immediately continued.

“therefore… … Oh yeah. Have you heard about how the exchange battle is going? They say that new candidates like us must participate… … .”

Before coming to the waiting room, I heard from the listener.

But Verden shook his head.

I want to continue the conversation by leading the conversation like that, but what are you doing to cut it off.

I didn’t have anything to spend my time on right now.

More than anything else, Verden was interested in the wizard in front of him.

High rank and magic power for an academy student.

And even the secret of using a new type of magic.

The wizard, who did not know what was going on, said in an excited voice.

“Haha, if you don’t know, I will tell you. It is said that those who first awakened qi show the level of handling qi.”

The basis of a warrior is strengthening the body through qi.

The next step is to increase the durability or destructive power by overlaying the weapon on the weapon.

To give a simple example, sword skills belong to that category.

After that, the focus will be on whether it can be blown away while maintaining the shape of the sword, or whether it can be transformed and taken into a different form.

“Of course, you don’t have to show your strength. This is a place for proof. It is up to you to decide how far you will reveal it. The same goes for exchanging battles with other candidates afterwards.”

It was the same explanation as the listener.

He must have also been told by a member of the Ark.

Verden asked.

“Then how does the wizard work?”

“The overall order is similar. The difference is that the magician is prepared to measure his mana first.”

horsepower meter.

The hierarchy is measured by the amount of horsepower blown into it.

This was also my own ability. If you wanted to hide the realm, it didn’t matter at all.

“I am… … I’m not very confident in the hierarchy. To be honest, I’m worried that I won’t be laughed at. I have confidence in other things.”

The last sentence was that of a boy.

“You worry too much.”

Wizards are young.

I am a student in the middle of growing up.

Is there anyone who would laugh at his inexperience? I don’t know if it’s a world, but I don’t think it’s not in the ark.

“There is no need to be intimidated. As you said, this place is for proof.”

“ah… … .”

The wizard nodded.

“Yeah, that’s right. This is a place for proof. Thank you for saying that. But are you confident?”

It’s a measure of horsepower.

“of course.”

A truly massive amount of horsepower.

That was one of the advantages Verden could put forward.

So the conversation continued.

Meanwhile, the captains were gathering in Ark’s fortress, Exodium.
