342.Welcome to Our Paradise (4)
“Oh my, how could a precious person be in such a shabby place…”
As soon as I entered the office, the mayor rubbed his hands together and made a treacherous move. Looking at the cold sweat forming on my forehead, it seemed like my mind was trying hard to guess why I had come and what I was asking for.
There is no need for that.
You don’t have to worry about losing a little hair, just answer the questions well and nothing will happen.
“I came here after hearing information that something unpleasant happened around here. “Has something strange happened recently?”
“You mean something strange? Yes, yes. These days, there are a series of disappearances happening in the city…”
The mayor, who was looking at me as if asking how I knew, hurriedly took out a document from his desk drawer and politely handed it to me.
“Hey, this is data on the disappearance case…”
I took a pile of documents about the width of my little finger and rummaged through them. Are there as many as 30 missing people?
There are so many.
“When did you become suspicious of the disappearance?”
“It was about half a year ago. When one or two people disappear, I thought they had left the city or went on a trip for some reason, so I didn’t take it as a big deal… But people continued to go missing at regular intervals.”
“Because he’s missing.” Was it because a similar pattern of disappearances continued that it was determined to be a disappearance case?”
“Yes.”
The continuous disappearances must have been a great burden for the mayor as well, as he looked at me with earnest eyes and continued to explain.
“According to the testimony of those around them, the missing people said the word ‘paradise’ in their mouths. “They said he went missing not long after saying the word paradise.”
“It’s paradise…What a coincidence. We also received a letter from paradise.”
“Why that letter to Sir Quartz?”
The mayor looked at me with a puzzled look. It seemed strange that I had received a letter that seemed completely unrelated to the disappearance.
“To be exact, this guy next to me received it. It seems that this guy’s hometown has been taken over by ‘Paradise’or he is hiding there.”
“Is that so? “What kind of town is this by any chance?”
“Al Jannada.”
“Al Janna…It’s a village not far from here. “I never thought it would be there.”
“Have you ever investigated?”
Since it was two days away from here, I would have been able to do enough research. In response to my question, the mayor shook his head and said.
“That’s not under our jurisdiction… Since I couldn’t investigate carelessly, I was giving priority to investigating other places. The problem is that the investigators also disappeared along the way.
So, we have not been able to find someone to investigate for several months now, so we are experiencing difficulties in the search.”
Is it because people are afraid of going missing that they don’t gather together? It was something that could not be helped.
What kind of person would risk their life and volunteer for something like this? If so, it would either be a family member of the missing person, or a crazy person who gets a thrill from such things.
“I get it. Rest assured, we will investigate that.”
“Are you okay?”
“Even though they’re strange, they probably won’t be stronger than the Demon Dragon. “Don’t worry.”
“Yes, yes! That’s right! “I must be crazy to worry about the great knight who defeated the demon dragon!”
That’s all I have to say. After calming down the fussing mayor, I tapped the document with the back of my hand and spoke.
“We will take these documents.”
“All right. Is there anything else you need… ?”
“I plan to stay in this city for a day, but can you lend me a room?”
“Yes, yep!”
The mayor answered in a quick voice, and even after he closed his mouth, he was looking at me secretly as if he wanted to say something.
“Do you have anything to say?”
“Could you please give me an autograph? “My son is a fan of Sir Quartz…”
“Willingly.”
I drew a cool sign that I had been practicing for several months on a piece of blank paper handed out by the mayor.

“Then I wish you both good luck in your future!”
“May Kalon’s blessing be with the hero!”
After being seen off by the mayor and staff, we headed straight to Al Janna. Because I wanted to get there as soon as possible and investigate.
When we were completely out of the city, greeted by people, Lenny shook her head and said.
“I’m just going to investigate, but it seems like some sort of launching ceremony is taking place.”
“That’s what the life of a superstar is like.”
“Superstar?”
“There is such a thing.”
We walk down the street chatting. I thought about borrowing a horse, but it didn’t make much sense since we were running faster than horses, and the distance wasn’t that far anyway, so we just planned to walk.
There are some things to do quietly before entering the village.
“Lenny. “Before we go in, I have something to tell you.”
“Huh? “What is it?”
“If possible, we plan to blockade the area around the village.”
“Blockade? How?”
“Build a wall around you.”
Lennie looked at me as if he didn’t understand what I meant. Did I say it too hard?
“They’re saying they’re going to lock up the entire village.”
“Is it really necessary to go that far?”
“I’m doing it because I don’t know that.”
If it is true that this was the work of foreign media… In the worst case, the entire village could have been destroyed. The groundwork for that was essential.
“I don’t quite understand it, but if that’s you, there’s nothing we can do.”
“Of course, if there are no problems, I plan to cancel it.”
I hope you can unlock it. If it has to be destroyed entirely… I made eye contact with Lennie. Leni looked at me with slightly anxious eyes.
“That won’t happen.” What could happen in such a remote village-“
“Yes, I guess so.”
There is nothing more foolish than making a fuss about something that hasn’t even been decided yet. I accepted Lennie’s words and quickened my pace.
In reality, it was more like running than walking…
So we quickly arrived at the hill where we could see the village. The hills where winter had arrived were completely stained pure white, but strangely enough, it seemed as if winter had not yet arrived around the village.
“I will take a short rest on this hill and then begin work. Production.”
“They say it’s comfortable whenever you think about it.”
Lenny sat down on a chair in the tent that was completed in an instant and stretched her legs. I looked at that for a moment, then sat down in my chair and looked down the hill.
“What was your hometown like?”
“Hometown? It was normal. It was a small village with one small temple. There are no special products to speak of, and the only way to make money is from the trees and animals in the forest over there. It was a typical hunter. Village. “I did a little bit of farming, but…”
Leni’s eyes were filled with nostalgia as she told her story about Al Jannah. Is she reminiscing about the past? In the original work, the story of Lennie’s past was not explained in great detail, so we could only guess.
“I lived in that village until I was scouted by a mercenary group and left. “My parents died from the plague, so I was born and raised in a temple, but it didn’t suit me.”
“It’s not right…”
Well, there is a guy with that kind of talent in every corner of the country, so I guess there’s no one who wouldn’t pick him up. But I think he was betrayed and saved by Karina. How did that happen?
“How was your life as a mercenary? I heard that he was quite famous since his days as a mercenary.”
“If you look at the number of years we’ve been active, it’s only about four years. No, 3 and a half years? The first mercenary group I joined went bankrupt after receiving a wrong request, and I was forced to join another mercenary group. That’s where I learned everything about fighting.
It wasn’t a very good memory. If you don’t meet the quota, you get hit and cursed. “For someone like that, they give me so much food.”
“You had a lot of trouble.”
“Are you the only one who can do it?”
…That’s right.
At least it was in a place where people lived.
“Still, I think it was meaningful because I became Karina’s escort knight after all that hard work. She never thought that someone so big would seduce Karina.”
“What can I do with the fact that I’m an attractive man?”
“Aren’t you embarrassed even thinking about it?”
“Isn’t it an undeniable fact?”
“Ha, yes… I guess so.”
We chatted and took a sweet break. When we got up from our seats, the sunset was slowly appearing. With the shovel on my back in hand, I started circling around the village with the village at the center.
“Produce. Produce. Produce. Production.”
I’m glad it’s S rank. Now you can create tens of meters with one skill.
Thanks to this, the work didn’t take too long, so we were able to return to the camp when the moon was clearly visible, even though we surrounded a large village.
“I will approach the village tomorrow morning.”
“Ugh… “Can I sleep over there?”
Lenny said, pointing to the igloo I made.
“Okay.”
“It looks like it’s cold.”
“If it’s really cold, you can sleep together.”
“…Is it okay?”
I couldn’t help but laugh as Leni’s cheeks turned red.
“Okay then, let’s see tomorrow.”
I went straight into the igloo, put on a pillow made of snow, and fell asleep.
