Episode 1297. I feel like I’m dreaming
The day dawned.
After finishing breakfast, Baron Howard Solon, Crea, and Tyne Rock set out to clean up the tent.
Fabian, perhaps out of a sense of solidarity as a member of the so-called ‘Rock Road Manor,’ did not just watch but secretly helped with the cleanup.
Elio said as he put the organized tents and cots into the mahadam (space warehouse).
“Fabian has grown up.”
“What do you mean?”
“I say this because you are doing something you were not told to do. “It’s not your responsibility to keep things organized.”
“I helped as a member of the same rock road manor family. “It’s unseemly to just watch others work while acting like an older brother or younger brother.”
“You’re not swearing at me, are you?”
“Why do you think that? “There are no disciples who make their master do work.”
“Yah! You look different. There is a saying, ‘the ghost of an iron child’… … . “I have to use a lot of my brains to not be haunted.”
“Please don’t speak evil of me.”
“Bad remarks are like, ‘If a person changes, he dies.’ ‘The ghost of an old man’ is a proverb.”
“I’ve never heard that proverb.”
“Uh, we’re in my hometown.”
“What kind of place is Lord Lagoa’s hometown?”
“What are you talking about?”
“I think what you say sometimes is a bit unpleasant.”
“It’s the same wherever people live. “It’s not much different from here.”
“There is no proverb here with such malice as the one spoken by Lord Lagoa.”
“Why is that malicious? “They are worried that the other person may be haunted.”
“As a listener, I feel ridicule and sarcasm.”
“It’s because your insides are twisted.”
As we chatted, we soon finished organizing the camp.
As soon as he put his luggage in the Mahadam, Elio returned to Luna Mylus’ side without any hesitation.
Fabian pouted his lips and grumbled at Count Elio Lagoa’s behavior.
“Why do you say that a normal person’s insides are twisted?”
Then Crea, who was watching from the side, said something.
“I’m on your side when it comes to that strange proverb. “I think Count Lagoa’s hometown is a bit scary.”
“yes? It’s a proverb that is strangely sarcastic about people. But that’s what they’re worried about.”
“Absolutely not.”
Crea, who has excellent empathy skills, shook her head.
“I don’t think that’s a concern either.”
Elio shouted as Crea and Baron Howard Solon joined the conversation.
“Fabian! What are you doing if you don’t leave? Are you planning to eat lunch here? Should we open up some space on the road?”
“no! going! song! Anyway, if you feel like you are at a disadvantage, you won’t be able to say anything.”
Soon, Tain-Rok and Fabian quickened their pace and took the lead.
There were mines everywhere going down the mountain.
The upper part of the mountain was well maintained, but the further down you went, the more mines were closed.
Most of the closed mines showed signs of being destroyed by something.
It must have been caused by monsters that happened to escape from the Valley of the Skull.
Elio muttered as he passed the closed mine.
“When I think about the monster wave, I don’t understand why the upper part is intact. Why was only the bottom destroyed?”
Luna Mylus said while looking around the mountains.
“Maybe it’s because of Skull Valley.”
“What’s wrong with that?”
“The Valley of the Skull is probably connected to the Plains of Ebrimar. “The monsters must have moved through the valley.”
“I guess so?”
Elio looked at her with an ambiguous expression.
What does that have to do with the integrity of the mines of Mount Petra?
At that moment, Luna Mylus shouted ‘Foot!’ and laughed.
“why?”
“Don’t try to get an easy answer, but think about it. “Don’t just tell Sir Fabian to use his head.”
“Sister, I also use it when I write. I’m still scratching my head. “One way is to use a smart sister.”
“Oh my, is that so? So I guess I should be taken advantage of? Mount Petra meets the Valley of the Skull, but it won’t connect. Because the terrain is difficult for monsters to easily access… … . “Do you think it looks down into the Valley of the Skull from underneath this mountain?”
“ah! So you’re saying we’re over the Valley of the Skull?”
“that’s right. Perhaps the road will soon break and a cliff called Valley of the Skull will appear. “It’s so rough that even monsters find it difficult to climb.”
“I understand when you say that. “It’s a cliff, it’s a cliff.”
Elio nodded vigorously as if he had figured it out.
There may be monsters that occasionally climb up the cliff, but they are very few.
And the subject of mine development must have been weak enough to be destroyed even by a very small number of monsters.
This is understandable if the mine was developed by a mercenary group rather than a mercenary guild.
“The mines we saw today were developed or developed by mercenary groups or adventurer groups, right?”
“If you look at the scale, it’s probably true. “It was small and shabby to be considered a kingdom or guild unit.”
“But don’t you think you can make a lot of money if you work hard? Think of those manastone veins in the Ferdom mines. “You just have to scoop it up from the ground.”
“Just think about digging that deep into the ground. Would an ordinary mercenary or adventurer want to do something like that?”
“You can just hire a miner.”
“There are no miners to hire in Tombstone. Unless you recruit miners from the beginning and move with them, mine development is difficult. Have you ever seen mercenaries and adventurers taking miners around by paying them salaries?”
“There is none.”
“Mercenaries and adventurers are warriors, not merchants. There isn’t enough money. So, they save the money they would give to laborers, miners, and gatherers and do it themselves.”
“But that doesn’t work. In the end, whether you are an adventurer or a mercenary group, you are saying that proper mine development can only be achieved if the scale is large, right?”
“that’s right. “The closed mines we saw were the result of that.”
“Money makes money, and it’s the same in this world.”
“Because people’s lives are similar everywhere.”
Elio nodded with a bitter expression.
Do Gangho’s people know?
Even in the commercial world, you have to work hard to live without starving?
Around noon, Fabian, who was ahead, shouted loudly.
“The road is broken! “It’s a cliff!”
After a while, Elio and the others gathered around Fabian and Tyne Rock.
indeed! The road that seemed to continue all the way to the bottom of the mountain was cut off as if it had been cut with a knife.
Below the cliff, a long canyon stretched toward the north.
It was the Valley of the Skull.
Elio, who was looking down, spoke to Fabian.
“Wouldn’t it be work to go down here?”
“It’s not difficult to go down if you just hang a rope down. “There are no carriages, and they are all Sword Beginners or higher.”
“okay? “This is easy for you, right?”
“Of course I am. Crea, how are you? “You can go down with just one rope, right?”
“Yes, I don’t know because I haven’t tried anything like this, but I think it’s possible.”
“Did you hear? It’s possible. If Uriah Crea can do anything, anything is possible. Ah, I don’t know how the saint feels.”
Fabian glanced at the saint.
Then Elio smiled and said.
“Don’t worry about our saintly sister. If it doesn’t work out, I can use Tornubis (the art of fortune telling).”
“ah! There was that. “Can’t we just go down to Tornuvis?”
“I’m not confident in carrying many people. Because it is not free to use Reiki in the Abyss. What if the clouds disperse along the way? Are you confident that you will survive if you fall?”
“doesn’t exist. When I heard those words, my thoughts suddenly changed. Now, even if Lord Lagoa asks me to get on the cloud, I will refuse.”
“That’s it, Fabian. “People are consistent.”
Elio said no more about Tornubis.
What I said to Fabian is not an exaggeration.
Since spreading spiritual energy wasn’t working as intended, I was also anxious about the Unjong technique.
Elio took out a rope from Mahadam and held it out.
Fabian and Baron Howard Solon tied a rope to a thick tree and hung it down.
Elio returned after checking under the rope with a leap in the air.
“hey! The rope doesn’t even go halfway. “I’ll have to do this two more times.”
Fabian asked, frowning as if in trouble.
“We have to do it two more times? “Is there a place for people to step in the middle?”
“Who am I? “I already made it.”
“Well done. “Then I’ll go down first.”
Fabian grabbed the rope and disappeared down.
After a while, Tynerock, Baron Howard Solon, Crea, and Paladin Almet Harev went down one by one.
After about 10 minutes, Elio said as the rope he was tied to started shaking.
“It looks like everything has gone down. Sister, please rest here for a while. When they reach the bottom of the valley, I will come up and take them to Tornuvis.”
“I heard the clouds might disperse?”
“At that time, I can carry it. “It’s not even a task to go down carrying one of my sisters.”
“Okay then. “I will rest here and enjoy the view.”
“I’ll be right back. “It won’t take long.”
Elio untied the rope and jumped down the cliff.
Luna Mylus, left alone, moved to the shade of a nearby tree.
Has it been like that for about an hour?
Just when she was feeling a little bored, Elio came rushing up.
“sister!”
“Are you here?”
“You were bored alone, right?”
“are you okay. It didn’t take long at all. What about at the bottom of the cliff? Doesn’t it look dangerous?”
“I felt a little uncomfortable because it was right after the wave, but I couldn’t see any beasts, let alone monsters.”
“okay? “It’s a bit strange not to see wild beasts in such a lush valley.”
“It looks like it was eaten by monsters during the wave.”
“is it.”
It sounded plausible at first glance, so she didn’t think of other possibilities.
Meanwhile, Elio summoned clouds using fortune telling.
Pure white clouds made of spiritual energy gathered at one point at the edge of the cliff.
Elio held Luna Mylus’ hand and climbed up into the clouds.
The cloud carrying the two people gently went down the cliff.
“It feels like I’m dreaming going down here with you.”
“Would you like this to be a dream?”
“Of course. If only you and Jian were next to me when I opened my eyes in Seokgyeongjang… … . “I have no wish.”
“… … .”
Elio couldn’t say anything.
I wanted to tell you that that day would come, even if it was just empty words, but it was such an obvious lie that I couldn’t stop talking.
Meanwhile, the bottom of the valley came into view.
Elio hugged Luna Mylus with a sad heart.
Luna Mylus silently patted his back.
The cloud completely fell to the ground, but Elio did not let her go.
Paladin Almet Harev couldn’t help but cleared his throat.
“Hum! Hum!”
Only then did Elio let go of Luna Mylus, who he was holding in his arms.
Soon, the white clouds that had fallen to the ground dispersed like fog.
Fabian, who was standing with an embarrassed face, greeted me with an exaggerated gesture like a clown.
“You have finally arrived in the Valley of the Skull! “Saint!”
Then Luna Mylus smiled and nodded in response.
Fabian, having overcome the awkwardness, took the lead again with Tyne Rock.
Baron Howard Solon, Crea, Elio and Luna Mylus, Count Larva Omar and Paladin Almet Harev followed.
