Episode 415. The Gol Clan (2)
May smiled faintly as she saw Yuri’s eyes widen.
“From the look on your face, you seem to know what kind of place the Walker School is?”
How could he not know that?
The Walker School, one of the four major schools of the Gol tribe, specializes in metallurgy.
The quality of the metal products they made was so high that ordinary human craftsmen could not even attempt it.
Moreover, this sword was made by a master craftsman, not an ordinary craftsman of the Walker School.
No matter how excellent Ralph Schnell’s sword is, it cannot be superior to this.
So Yuri asked with a careful face.
“…Can I get it just by following it?”
“I’ll help you obtain any sword made by a craftsman of the Walker School. However, I won’t give up a sword made by a Meister so easily.”
May smiled brightly as she saw Yuri’s eyebrows slightly furrow.
“I told you. I called you for two reasons.”
“… … .”
“There is something I am doing within the Gol tribe right now. Please stay by my side and help me with it for a while.”
“What is that?”
“I’ll tell you about it when we get to the Gol tribe’s territory.”
“hmm…….”
“If you help me with that, I’ll let you obtain the Master’s sword. Even though I look like this, I still have that much say.”
Yuri sighed inwardly as she looked at May, who was winking one eye.
‘I can’t help it.’
In fact, it was something I didn’t even have to worry about or do.
The Cold Wall Mountains, which can be reached after traveling for almost a year.
It was much more efficient to follow May than to go there and meet Ralph and ask him to make a sword for her.
“good…….”
At that moment, when Yuri was about to agree.
“I’m sorry for interrupting you.”
Gunther quickly joined their conversation.
At this, May’s gaze turned to him.
“What’s going on?”
“First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Gunther of the Irons family. I am currently a member of the Sowol Mercenary Corps.”
“Yes, Gunther. Is there anything you want to tell me?”
“Is the story you just told about a request you made to Yuri personally, or to the Sowol Mercenary Group?”
“huh?”
“The captain and I are inseparable. It’s like a needle and thread, isn’t it? So if Yuri accepts this request, we have to follow.”
Yuri blinked at Gunther’s unexpected and somewhat forced claim.
The look that seemed to ask why this kid was acting like this all of a sudden was a bonus.
On the other hand, May looked at him with interest.
“so?”
“I would like you to formally request this work from the Sowol Mercenary Corps. And as compensation, I would like to request the Gol Tribe’s weapons.”
“Um… So, you want me to get you all a weapon from the Gol tribe, not just Yuri?”
“That’s it.”
Gunther’s confident request, with not a single change in expression, caused a commotion around him.
“Gunther, that guy… was he always like that?”
“Wow, he’s so shameless but so confident that he’s actually cool!”
“hungry!”
Julia, Arin and Poppy were amazed.
Meanwhile, Theresia.
“I completely agree with Gunther’s opinion.”
Before I knew it, I was standing next to Gunther and providing support fire.
Yuri looked at the two of them as if they were dumbfounded, but Gunther and Theresia didn’t change their expressions at all and were very calm.
‘Yuri, don’t look at me like that. I learned all this from watching you.’
‘I can’t miss this great opportunity, right?’
This is a chance to get your hands on the Gol tribe’s weapons.
As someone who has mastered the art of magic, how could I pass up an opportunity like this?
Meanwhile, May let out a small laugh as she saw Yuri, Teresia, and Gunther exchanging glances.
“haha.”
Then she glanced at the members of the Sowol Mercenary Corps.
Not only his niece, Tessya, but also Gunther, a young man who had been making bold demands.
There’s also a woman who looks like an archer and a Yum youth.
Each and every one of them had skills that would have made them considered geniuses among their peers.
There was one person in the group who seemed to have the least skill.
‘Hey, are you a blood relative of the Sing family?’
A distinct silver ring in the red eyes.
It was a characteristic that anyone could tell was from the Hyunga clan.
So, although his skills were somewhat lacking compared to others, he more than made up for it with the fact that he was a member of the Hyun family.
Of course, Hyun-ga’s child’s skills were inferior to those of other members, but he was much better than other children of the same age.
‘Where did they gather all these guys and create a mercenary group?’
The Sowol Mercenary Group is comprised of only talented individuals that even large mercenary groups would drool over and pay a large sum of money to recruit.
Surely they would have been useful enough.
So May nodded.
“Okay, let’s do that.”
Gunther’s face brightened at her approval.
‘The Bone Tribe’s weapon!’
Even if you have money, the weapons of the Gol tribe are difficult to obtain.
How could I not be happy when the opportunity to get this came?
“I’ll get ready to leave right away!”
The others who saw Gunther leaving the training ground humming a tune also turned around.
“Let’s get ready too!”
“hungry!”
“I’m looking forward to it, the territory of the Gol tribe.”
“I just realized for the first time that I made the right decision to join the mercenary group?”
The members each smiled and said something.
Yuri muttered quietly as she watched them scatter.
“… Hey, why are you guys deciding on your own?”
Who is the captain?
I haven’t said anything yet?
But there was no one left to listen to Yuri’s words.
The next destination is decided by Gunther and the members who are not so good.
The Sowol mercenary group, which seemed like they would head towards the Gol tribe’s territory at any moment, could not leave Rednerga.
as soon as.
“My mother… is in critical condition.”
It was because of the sad news that was passed on to Mei and Yuri.
***
A room filled with the thick smell of death.
New liquid, new liquid-.
The faint sound of breathing was becoming labored.
Rio and his wife, Sua, and May standing next to the bed.
And Yuri was watching Elena die.
‘So this is what happens in the end.’
When Yuri first arrived, Elena Redner was already close to death.
If there is a five year age difference between her and John, she is also close to seventy years old.
Even though she was suffering from old age and illness, and her vitality was waning day by day, she stubbornly continued to live.
As if waiting for someone.
‘You must have been waiting for inspiration.’
Elena, who had held on because she wanted to meet John at the end of her life.
However, after hearing the news of John’s death from Yuri, her health deteriorated rapidly.
Because there would be no reason to continue living.
The moment Yuri thought so.
“Oh, Mother!”
“Mother!”
The Rio couple quickly approached Elena, who had opened her eyes.
Elena smiled faintly at her son and daughter-in-law who looked sad.
“Don’t be sad… just say it. Going this way… is also… a blessing.”
“mother!”
“Mother, oh… … .”
The Rio couple finally burst into tears.
On the other hand, Su-ah had a face that didn’t know what emotions to express when she encountered the death of someone for the first time in her life.
Elena simply gave her granddaughter a kind look.
Then her gaze fell on May.
“Meh… this.”
“Yes, I am here.”
“Thank you….”
“I… Elena, you have given me peace of mind. Thank you for everything.”
Elena’s gaze, having seen May’s sad smile, finally reached Yuri.
Before she could open her mouth, Yuri asked first.
“Is there anything you would like to say to John the Baptist if you meet him?”
Elena’s eyes widened slightly at Yuri’s question.
At the same time, life briefly came back to her dying eyes.
Reflection of light.
She burned the last of her vitality and said with a bright smile.
“You were… my pride.”
Those short words, spoken at the end of her life, gave us an idea of how Elena had thought about John all her life.
As Yuri pondered her words deeply.
Elena’s eyes closed.
Color— new liquid-.
Breathing becomes increasingly interrupted.
Then finally.
“mother!”
“Mother!”
The time given to Elena has come to an end.
***
Rio did not specifically announce his mother’s death.
Because of that, Elena’s funeral was held in a small ceremony.
The only people who attended the funeral were the Redner family, May Winchester, and the Sowell Mercenaries.
And somehow, Arin, Gunther, and Poppy all ended up attending the funeral of siblings Johan and Elena.
The funeral proceedings that had been held for several days were finally over.
The Redner family came out to see off the Yuri group as they were about to leave.
“Have a good rest.”
“You are talking nonsense. On the contrary, we have received much from you. Also, since you are my uncle’s disciple, you are also part of our family. Please don’t forget us and come visit us often in the future.”
“Well, if you have the time.”
“I will be waiting.”
Yuri and Rio shook hands.
At that moment, Sua, who had been clinging close to Rio’s legs, peeked her face out.
Her face was a mess from all the crying.
Even after crying like that, the boy still had tears left in his eyes as he kept sniffling.
Yuri looked at this with a cold gaze.
“Didn’t I tell you not to whine?”
Although those words were somewhat harsh, Su-ah quickly wiped away her tears.
Yuri opened her mouth, looking at Su-ah with a cold gaze.
“I’ll check your homework when I meet you later.”
Yuri has been teaching Suah the basics of magic while remodeling her over the past month.
Although Su-ah was following along better than expected, she was still lacking.
Yuri handed over a notebook containing the basic theories on magic to Su-ah.
The homework he was talking about was to learn this.
“If you don’t want to get in trouble, work hard.”
Suah nodded with her mouth in the shape of the number eight.
At that moment, Yuri took something out of her bosom and showed it to me.
“You, don’t you know what this is?”
“… … ?”
“It’s called the Black Dragon Badge. It’s like a letter of recommendation that allows a person to take the Cradle’s Certification Exam.”
Su-ah was dumbfounded, not knowing the value of the Black Dragon Badge, but Rio’s eyes widened.
‘A letter of recommendation from the cradle?!’
He had heard it well and was familiar with it.
In order to enter the cradle, you must have a recommendation from someone who has a dragon badge.
And what value does that dragon badge recommendation have?
Of course, he didn’t know what the Black Dragon Badge was.
Yuri didn’t bother explaining its value.
Because I had no intention of giving the Black Dragon Badge to Su-ah yet.
“Come see me in four years. Then I will see if you are worthy of becoming the master of this Black Dragon Clan.”
Yuri put the black dragon shield back in her bosom and threatened.
“But if you’re going to come, you have to come prepared. I won’t be lenient on you anymore after today. So… do your homework diligently.”
A story that is either a warning or encouragement.
At this, Su-ah looked up at Yuri and answered with eyes full of determination.
“I will definitely… come find you.”
Yuri patted Su-ah’s head twice and then turned around and walked towards the group that was waiting for her.
“Hello, Suah!”
“hungry!”
“See you later!”
Yuri, who was mixed in with the crowd of people who turned around and greeted each other lively, soon joined them and walked away from the main gate.
The group of Yuri gradually became smaller and smaller until they eventually disappeared completely.
However, Rio smiled bitterly as he looked at Su-ah who still couldn’t take her eyes off that direction.
‘… There’s not much time left.’
Four years from now.
During that time, Rio also thought about how he should prepare to let go of his daughter who was out of his reach.
***
It’s been a long time since Yuri and her friends have been able to walk together instead of riding a buggy.
The reason why things turned out that way was because the Gol tribe’s territory was in the middle of a large forest.
A vast forest untouched by human footsteps.
There is no wide road for a cart to pass through.
I couldn’t even think of pulling a cart in the yard where the road I had just taken was swallowed up by bushes that had grown overnight.
So, Yuri and her party abandoned the cart and, guided by May, continued on their way through the forest for several days.
“I… want to go home… … .”
“Ugh, I can’t breathe… Ugh.”
“… This is a place I never want to come back to.”
“hungry.”
“If you think it’s hard, it becomes harder.”
Even at the entrance where the Redner family was located, it was stiflingly hot and humid.
But the ‘real Daesurim’ was on a different level.
The heat and humidity were so suffocating that it felt like I was in a boiling bath.
Not only that, but swamps where your feet sink deep are common, and there are all kinds of poisonous insects and snakes everywhere.
‘Now I finally understand why the mercenary said that Daesurim was not a place for people to live.’
Yuri could now clearly see how Daesurim’s notoriety had come about.
So when he sticks his tongue out at the environment of the great forest.
“Is this your first time in Daesurim?”
Yuri shrugged her shoulders at May’s question.
“Is this your first time?”
“You’re holding up better than I thought you would, considering how things are. Most people end up like that on their first visit.”
In the place where May’s gaze landed, there was Yuri’s group that had practically turned into water ghosts.
Five people, soaked in sweat, heat, and murderous humidity.
Even his lips were blistered, as if he had been bitten by a poisonous insect.
Yuri, who followed May and watched them, snickered.
“Because I’m not weak like them.”
At that, Yuri inwardly raised her hand to Yohan.
‘Inspiration, the hodgepodge effect is the best!’
The Redner family’s elixir, also known as the Japtang or the Harmonious God.
Thanks to the magic that maximizes eye power and its excellent ability to break down impure substances in the body, Yuri was able to be free from poisonous insects and snakes.
He took his time laughing at his friends, then asked May.
“So when do we arrive at the Gol territory?”
“soon?”
“I guess they ended up like that because they believed that sound and kept walking… … .”
“This time, it’s for real. How many hours will it take?”
“hmm…….”
Yuri had been looking at me with suspicious eyes until then.
But a few hours later, he realized that May’s words were not a lie.
“It’s here.”
The movement that was expected to continue for some time has stopped.
What greeted the tall glass was a large, gaping, black cavern… … .
Woof-.
It was a small sound that suddenly came from within.
