Episode 1287. If she hadn’t been a saint she would have died
After Luna Mylus’ explanation was over, Crea asked cautiously.
“Hey, saintess. I know the Earth Goddess as Sagartha… … When did it change?”
At that moment, everyone’s eyes turned to Luna Mylus.
Since the saint could not have been mistaken, did God change in the meantime?
“Don’t misunderstand. Because I was just talking about that statue. That statue is clearly the ancient god Kurea. Kurea is an ancient god and was the goddess of the earth before Sagartha.”
People’s eyes sparkled when they heard the words ‘ancient gods.’
There are records that there were ancient gods before the present gods, but that is all.
Nothing is known about the names, appearances, or roles of the ancient gods.
It was truly historic to have come to know one of those ancient gods.
People wanted to hear more details from the saint, but Elio stopped them.
Although he had no interest other than Ushas Undra (Golden Temple), it was to protect Luna Mylus.
“It’s okay as long as it’s not the statue of Ushas Undra. Now that I know that the identity has nothing to do with Ushas Undra… … . Next time I’ll have to go outside the safe area. Scary people can remain in the safe area.”
No one responded to Elio’s words.
The Paladin was a follower of Saint Luna Mylus, and the rest were also followers of Elio and Luna Mylus, but that was all they said.
The Akerio mercenaries formed their formation again and moved.
Elio glanced back at the statue before leaving the temple site.
I don’t know why there is a statue of an ancient god in the Abyss, not even on the ground.
I wanted to hear Luna Mylus’ opinion, but I didn’t ask.
I was afraid that she might use the goddess’s power to find the answer.
‘It doesn’t have anything to do with me, so let’s forget about it.’
Elio tried to shake off his curiosity.
As someone who was not from another world, there was no reason to become attached to a forgotten ancient god.
Three days later, Elio and his group arrived at Exodo, a village in the safe area.
There, Elio and his party said goodbye to Merdef and the Akerio mercenaries and went to the ground.
***
EXO too.
Bar Baron.
A man sat in a corner, sipping mead.
This is Merdef, who was taken as a guide and separated from the Falcon mercenaries.
“ha! Fuck… … “Where did everyone go?”
Exo and Tombstone searched the bars, but no one knew about the whereabouts of the Falcon mercenaries.
It was said that it had not been seen for about a month, as if it had risen into the sky.
“Did everyone really die in the Abyss?”
That was the only way for the mercenary group to disappear without leaving a trace.
Since the wave coincided with the Abyss at the same time, there was a high probability that they would have been annihilated.
“I guess I’ll have to look for a new mercenary group. “Isn’t there somewhere useful?”
If the Falcon mercenary group disappears, you can join another mercenary group. He was confident that he would join any mercenary group because he was a veteran.
As Merdev was looking for a mercenary group to join, a handsome old man sat down in front of him.
“… … who are you?”
7th Circle Warlock Charles Manson answered Merdef’s question with a grin.
“That’s later. Rather, I heard that he was a member of the Falcon mercenary group. Is that correct?”
Merdev was offended by the other person’s one-sided conversation, but did not show it.
It was because the old man’s shiny, snake-like eyes were so scary.
“you’re right.”
“Then why are you looking for the Falcon mercenaries?”
“Oh, that’s… … .”
Merdev told the story of the relationship between himself and the adventurers.
“… … After touring the pioneering area with them, the mercenary group disappeared. I asked people who knew, and they all said they hadn’t seen each other for a while… … . I guess
I think I got hit by a wave. “Isn’t that the only way a mercenary group can disappear without a word?”
“Maybe so.”
Charles Manson knew the fate of the Falcon mercenaries but did not teach them.
“Do you have any business with the Falcon Mercenaries?”
“No, rather, tell me about the adventurers you guided.”
“Adventurers?”
“So, was there anyone that caught your eye?”
“Anyone that stands out? Oh my! Don’t even talk. “I have never seen such adventurers in my life.”
Charles Manson stared at Merdev as if telling him to continue speaking.
“The person who stood out the most was the saint. “That beauty was truly not human.”
“and?”
When Merdef started to talk about women, Charles Manson quickly moved on.
“There was a sword master of similar age to you. But do you know what’s surprising?”
“What’s so surprising?”
“The person leading that group of adventurers was not the Sword Master.”
“Ohh. “Who is that person?”
“He was a young magic swordsman. I thought he was called Lord Lagoa… … “I’m not sure.”
“I see.”
“That person may be even greater than the Sword Master.”
“Why?”
“I shouldn’t go anywhere and talk about this… … .”
As Merdev rolled his eyes, Charles Manson placed a one-gold coin on the table.
“We crossed Mount Parton and entered the desert, and some crazy guys pointed magic guns at us. At that time, the magic swordsman completely devastated the entire area with a strange magic.”
“Ohh. “Was anyone hurt?”
“What? The magic swordsman is almost killed by his magic gun… … Kyaha! Why can’t the saint cure that with her divine power? “If the saintess had been just a little late, the magic swordsman would have died.”
At that moment, a flash of light flashed in Charles Manson’s eyes.
Did Exitium work for Grand Master Count Elio Lagoa?
“I guess the injury was serious?”
“Was it bad? She was out of breath. If she weren’t a saint she would really be dead. And another person who caught her eye was… … .”
“done. “That is enough.”
Charles Manson interrupted Merdev.
Except for the confirmation of Count Elio Lagoa’s survival, the rest was heard, but it was only a single sound.
Eventually, he cursed so that Merdev wouldn’t notice and stood up.
Merdev grabbed the glass filled with mead, not knowing that his fate had been decided.
‘It’s a lucky day.’
You get gold for talking to an old man for a little bit! I wish every day was just like today.

Great forest.
Tombstone.
Elio and his group made plans to travel to the Abyss again at Tombstone.
This time, I decided to take my time and explore Mount Petra and Mount Parton.
The reason I decided to look at Mount Petra and Mount Parton was actually out of curiosity about steel golems.
Everyone in Elio’s group wanted to see the steel golem that was the cause of the war.
“Let’s look around Mount Parton first and then go to Mount Petra.”
Fabian asked Elio’s words.
“Aren’t we going to Mount Petra first?”
“uh.”
“Is there anything to see on Mount Parton?”
Mount Parton is a place where medicinal herbs are collected and is a representative safe area.
I added it because I didn’t want to leave it out, but it wasn’t a particularly attractive place.
“I plan to take Mount Parton first, and then go from Mount Petra to an unexplored area through the canyon where monsters travel. “If we go to Mt. Petra first, we have to go back again.”
“ah! Considering the movement route, I guess I should do that.”
Fabian looked at Count Elio Lagoa with new eyes.
In times like this, it really seems like you can see several moves ahead.
If that keenness is always maintained, you will hear the voice of a wise man, but only then.
In normal times, Count Lagoa is said to be simple and ignorant.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“I thought Lord Lagoa was surprisingly smart.”
“Surprising?”
“Aren’t you always like a sick chicken?”
“I?”
“Yes, I am talking about Lord Lagoa.”
Fabian, who likes to speak the truth, even gave me confirmation.
Baron Howard Solon, Crea, and Tainok, who had recently joined Rock Road Manor with difficulty, looked at Fabian with tense eyes.
It is simply surprising that a man who is only a baron would call the Grand Master, Count Elio Lagoa, a ‘sick chicken.’
However, Elio actually spoke with a nonchalant expression on his face.
“But what if we don’t allow them to enter the mines of Mount Petra? “I heard they are restricting access?”
“Are you not going to go in if they tell you not to?”
“I have to go in.”
“But why are you worrying about that? “You’re going to go in anyway.”
“I was wondering if there was a way to minimize the backlash.”
“The Northern Kingdom is an ally, so they might allow entry.”
“I hope so.”
Elio sincerely hoped so.
It’s because I don’t want to get into trouble with the Southern Kingdom just to see the steel golem.
Paladin Almet Harev, who was just watching as if it were someone else’s business, quietly intervened.
“By the way, Lord Lagoa, how are you feeling? We also stayed in the Abyss for a little over a month… … . “What changes have you noticed?”
“Not at all. “What about the Paladin?”
“I didn’t feel angry or my pleasure increased.”
The others also nodded at the paladin’s words.
“I was the same as usual.”
“me too.”
Fabian, who had been listening with his head down, opened his mouth.
“I think a little over a month is okay. Actually, there are people who live in EXODO… … . “I don’t think it’s causing any major problems physically or mentally.”
“But you better be careful.”
Elio stopped talking about Chaos.
This is because while explaining that, Luna Mylus may inadvertently bring up the goddess’s memories.
Wouldn’t you know that chaos is an energy that harms humans like poison?
Unless that’s the case, I plan to finish in line with others.
next day.
Elio bought a lot of groceries from Tombstone’s stores.
You never know what might happen in an unexplored area, so be fully prepared.
Fabian shook his head at Elio’s actions.
“What kind of food are you buying so much? “It will come out again in about a month anyway.”
“It’s about preparing for an emergency.”
“Honestly, Lord Lagoa, there’s no need to prepare for something like that, right?”
“A lion must do his best even if he catches just one rabbit.”
“I’m telling you this because I think your worries are excessive compared to your abilities.”
“So, you’re not going to eat?”
“I think I need to take more care of it.”
Fabian started picking up everything he could find and stacking it on the counter.
***
Abyss.
Exo Island, a pioneering area village.
Heilon is a bar frequented by Abyss mercenaries and adventurers.
It’s not because the drinks and snacks are good or because the female boss is a rare sight in Abyss.
Heilon was one of the bars that served as guild offices on land.
There were dozens of pieces of paper recruiting people posted on the walls inside Helon, and mercenaries and adventurers came to Helon to see them.
Of course, not just anyone can stick that paper.
A group of mercenaries and adventurers would hand over paper and money to the owner, and the owner would paste the paper at an appropriate location on the inner wall of the bar.
Charles Manson placed a bag of paper and money on the counter.
Lee Chae looked young in the eyes of Larisa, the bar owner, who picked up the paper and read it.
“Not an individual… … . Are you recruiting a group of mercenaries or adventurers?”
“why? “Isn’t that possible?”
“There is nothing that cannot be done. As long as the compensation is generous. Oh my, ten gold a day? “Isn’t this a misuse of gold?”
Larisa unfolded the paper she was holding in front of the old man.
It often takes at least 15 days, or more than a month, to be active in Abyss.
But are you willing to pay as much as ten gold per day?
Unless it was a mistake, it couldn’t have happened.
