Only Noblemtl

Episode 140.

It’s been three years since Hopper burned down.

For the past three years, Ronobe has not been here at all. Partly because he had no particular reason to come.

“It’s been three years.”

Ronobe looked down from the sky.

Hopper Village.

The hometown where one was born.

Hopper, a mountain village surrounded on all sides by winding hills and mountains, was very small.

“Is that because you’re looking at it from the sky?”

I wanted to go down and look, but it wasn’t there.

The town itself was small. That’s only natural. Hopper was a small town with only a few households living there to begin with.

“I don’t think it was this small… Maybe it’s because I’ve grown up.”

That was probably highly likely.

Compared to three years ago, Ronobe had grown both in height and mind. Just three years. Who would have thought that in just three years, a country bumpkin who caught sparrows and secretly grilled meat would become a hero who defeated a wizard?

The world is truly unpredictable.

“This is my house? Wow, it’s so small.”

A house where a family of nine lived.

It was a really small house. I’m surprised that nine people lived in this small house.

Here, Ronobe was born and treated like a dog, doing all kinds of chores.

I suddenly wanted to see Venom.

Thinking back, I wanted to be Venom’s bully and bully him for the rest of his life.

‘Don’t hate your father too much. It was inevitable that your brother died. But your father did his job fairly. He’s the one who died. If he hadn’t, they would’ve all starved to death.’

It was something Uribe said while drinking on the day of the feast. I don’t know if he is still a father even if he kills his children, but it is true that thanks to him, other family members may not have starved to death.

“I thought there might be someone living there, but no. There’s no one.”

Ronobe is a mountain behind the village, a little away.

I also visited the hunter’s house on the hill.

It was Bernard’s house.

His grave was nearby. Bernard’s house was reduced to a mere trace by the forest fire, but the grave that Ronobé had made was still there.

“I am here.”

He opened his mouth, took out the wine bottle, uncorked it, took a sip, and poured it all out. The dirt at the grave turned red.

“I became the hero of Gradas. I was given a noble title and became a Hopper. I am now a Ronobe Hopper. If Bernard were alive, he would have had to bow his head. He is not someone a mere hunter can act carelessly.”

I said that and then laughed.

Although his tone was frivolous, Ronobe bowed his head.

“The hunting skills I learned from my master made me who I am today. If I hadn’t learned them, I might have died.”

The trap-laying method involved many uses. If Bernard had not taught him the hunter’s mindset, it would have been dangerous.

The art of hunting is still in use.

Bernard was a benefactor.

“I’m going. I’ll be seeing you often from now on, so don’t complain too much. I’ll pour you some expensive drinks often.”

The moment Ronobe turned around.

Whew.

For some reason a cool breeze blew.

“I don’t want to appear as a ghost.”

I looked back, saying something I didn’t mean, but as expected, there was nothing. Ronobe snickered and went down to the village.

A house burned down by fire.

Lush weeds.

Most of the place was in ruins, with the roofs burned out and half of it collapsed.

It was a daunting place just to look at.

“How do I get this back on its feet? Is it really necessary?”

Wouldn’t it be faster to just swallow up another town with money and power and change its name to Hopper? There was no answer as to how to build a town and make it prosperous in a place where there were only mountains and nothing else.

“hmm…”

There are many dead trees around the village.

Ronobe first totemized them.

I used up my stored souls to activate the totem and threw the water totem tied to a stone into the empty well. I didn’t forget to carve a little something into the dead tree. And only then did I plant the pepper I had taken from Lirun.

“Brrr.”

I had no more worries until I sprayed the pesticides stored in my body.

“I should come here sometime and make a pepper farm.”

It seemed like it would be a good idea to plant potatoes or sweet potatoes in the fields in the village.

I don’t think there’s a need to do anything serious from now on, I think it’ll be enough to just plant crops and have a weekend farm feel.

Anyway, the house collapsed.

One side is used as a farm, and the ruined houses will eventually have to be torn down and rebuilt.

“You can practice magic here.”

If there is a target, the achievement of training is bound to increase. Ronobe used Jiyu to make fists with the spur and hit the houses. Boom, Kwaang! With a sound of breaking, he saw the houses collapse helplessly. His heart, which had been blocked by studying, felt relieved like a burst dam. The burst dam and studying had something in common. They both had no answer.

“Why can’t I do what Peter can do?”

He sighed, but he couldn’t do it. There was nothing he could do. So Ronobe gave Peter a true homework assignment as a teacher.

‘Peter. Studying the texts is good, but you must also study the Runes without fail. So, try transcribing this book in Runes.’

‘!!’

One thing that is fortunate is that he left his homework to his students.

“So that’s why there’s always a shortage of graduate students.”

Peter was a very useful guy. He was a smart guy and would be of great help in the future.

‘Should I leave the sound waves to Peter?’

Ronobe currently has several grimoires.

Aside from ‘Fallen Petals’ and ‘Sound Waves’, there are two more. Loti and Geass, who were imperial magicians. This is because they also have their grimoires and artifacts.

Loti’s Grimoire is a leather glove.

It is the ‘invisible hand’.

It was a magic that created a giant invisible hand to secretly capture enemies or create a mess, but I wasn’t very interested in it.

This is because the invisible hand’s power is not that strong. As for the binding, it was possible to do it with the oil, thread, and ice that Ronobe possessed.

Next is the Grimoire of Geass.

It was a grimoire that could make one invisible.

“The invisible hand is better served as a tribute.”

But he is not an invisible man.

This is every man’s dream.

Ronobe was determined to learn this magic no matter what.

There is a problem, though.

“Why… can’t I learn?”

Fallen petals, and invisible humans.

These two always have grimoires with them because it is the magic that Ronobe wants to learn.

But strangely enough, Ronobe cannot manifest the miracle contained in this grimoire.

Unlike magic that was used with the grace of the gods, using the magic built into a grimoire was completely different.

“It is said that even wizards usually find it difficult to use a grimoire other than one they created.”

It was said that using multiple magics was already beyond the scope of a normal wizard. That’s why Gaisha was famous and why Cloud was famous as a wizard of the empire.

“Time will tell.”

Fallen petals don’t matter.

However, he definitely wanted to learn Geass’s invisibility magic. ‘Sound-eating feet’ and invisibility. If these two were combined, Ronobe would be able to obtain a stealth ability that would not be detected by anything.

Then you can do a lot.

Because not being detected by the enemy allows you to do a lot of different things.

“Should we make a bathhouse?”

There are few places in the kingdom that have bathing facilities. There are many people who don’t even wash properly, so the concept of bathing itself is not very widespread. Even nobles don’t wash often unless it’s a special day, so what more can I say?

Of course, Beni washes often. Since my husband was so particular about being neat, he couldn’t help but do the same. Now, he washes naturally, but in the past, Beni had even asked Ronobe why he had to do that.

“hmm?”

As I was walking, absorbed in various thoughts, I found myself collapsing the house.

“It’s definitely strong because you swing the stick like a whip. In the past, if you had swung it, it would have just scattered.”

Now, even if you swing it, it won’t fall apart. It feels like the binding power has become considerably stronger. This is partly because it has been strengthened by receiving grace multiple times, and partly because the control power of Ronobe itself has become stronger. It is also because my understanding of magic has improved compared to before.

“Here is…”

As I continued on, trampling over the overgrown weeds and destroying the house, I came across a cave. It was the cave that Hopper had used as a prison.

It was also the place where Rene was tied up.

“Hopper the best…”

Now that I think about it, I never thought about it because there was a forest fire and it just disappeared.

“I wonder if I’ll survive.”

It’s quite difficult for a woman to survive alone.

As you walk down the street, you encounter bandits, thieves, and mercenaries who are no different from bandits or thieves. In this world where you never know when or where the villagers will turn into robbers or rapists, a powerless woman walks around alone? It’s no different from asking to be killed.

“Rene was definitely pretty.”

It was hard to say that she was born in such a narrow countryside. She had big breasts and big buttocks, but her face was a pure beauty. No, she was a beauty with a thousand faces. When you look at her this way, she was pure, and when you look at her this way, she was like a woman with eight colors.

“I don’t think I’ll live long.”

She was a woman who slept with multiple men, so even if she had survived, she would have lived like that.

A woman who is nothing but a bag of germs. She is a living, breathing contagious disease, so she will not live long.

Now, I guess it’s okay.

“cave…”

Ronobe entered the cave.

It smelled old and musty.

It was dark, so I lit a fire by floating oil on it and the cave was visible. It wasn’t a cave that had anything particularly special about it.

“When the forest fire broke out, my family went in here and survived…”

But a cave is a closed space.

If the entrance had been blocked with mud, wouldn’t there have been a shortage of air?

“I guess there is a connection.”

Ronobe used bear ears and a bear nose.

Their keen senses of hearing and smell spread throughout the cave, allowing them to detect even the sounds and smells of blocked crevices.

“wind.”

The wind blows through the blocked gap in the cave.

Not only that, there were various smells. Grass, moss, and a strange smell of stone. There was also a familiar yet different smell of water.

“It smells strangely rotten.”

And then there’s a sound.

There is something beyond this wall.

The moving, dull, and rhythmic sound is hardly human.

Tata, tata, tata, tata. It sounds like the sound of a multi-legged arthropod.

Insects or bugs.

Things like that.

“I don’t think that’s the usual bug sound.”

To find out more closely, it seemed like another magic was needed.

Ronobe spat out the staff from his mouth.

Anna’s magic allowed blood to flow into the cracks in the wall, and the answer came quickly.

“Oh my god.”

There’s a fox inside the wall.

It’s not a normal sized civet.

There was a huge raccoon that could catch and kill a person, and a huge space inside where the raccoon could be. The cave was an underground cave leading down, and it was a very humid place, making it the perfect place to use Anna’s magic.

“There were these guys in Hopper? What the hell were they living with?”

It was a situation that I couldn’t understand at all.

Ronobe thought about it for a moment.

“The space is quite large. Even my detection cannot detect everything.”

Suddenly, Ronobe remembered Elicia’s words.

‘No lord would settle a village without a reason. Hopper would certainly be the same.’

At the time, I just thought it was something to check just in case, but now that I think about it, it doesn’t seem like it was always that kind of thing.

There is something that looks like a monster beyond the cave. In addition, it is a dungeon that extends quite a long way into the underground cave.

“Dungeon.”

Ronobe took a step back.

“I lived in Hopper for 12 years.”

Until then, these guys were quiet.

It was quiet even when the fire broke out.

Because these guys live underground.

Then there is no need to bother with it now.

“The cave is cramped.”

You don’t even know what’s there. Going into a dungeon alone without knowing what might pop out is like committing suicide.

“We need a meat shield, no. We need a party.”

Ronobé thought of Liam and Benny.

Wouldn’t it be okay to take Liam first and Benny and Peter along?

“Just in case, let’s take Mick too.”

The party combination immediately came to mind.

I don’t know what’s in here, but Hopper has decided that this is where Ronobe should settle down. We can’t afford to be neighbors with dangerous people.

It is right that they should be punished.

Ronobe turned into a crow and returned to Sist.

*

“A dungeon? Then there must be something there.”

It was Mick.

Mick has a history of living as a knight, and more than anything, he is a wizard, and he is older than Ronobe. He has lived a long life as a wizard, so he is a man with a lot of experience. Naturally, he also has a lot of knowledge about dungeons with monsters.

Some monsters have rocks.

Most monsters attack people because their stock is people. However, a space where they gather in one place is called a dungeon, and there must be a reason why they gather there.

“What could there be?”

“Well, it is divided into three major categories.”

First, if it is a naturally occurring dungeon.

“When ordinary beasts or insects create monsters of their own, they turn the ordinary plants and animals around them into monsters. Long ago, they were called tools. Now, they are called monsters or demons. That’s what they are called… Anyway, the important thing is that they are harmful to humans.”

Mick gladly accepted Lonobe’s request. After all, all he does in Sist is help the villagers and teach Lirun and Peter.

“Then let’s go right away!”

There was no reason to delay, as even a bull’s horn could be pulled out in one go.

“Are you okay?”

“What is it?”

“There are those who are looking for Baron Jun.”

“??”

Are you looking for Ronobe?

“Didn’t you know?”

“Yes. Who?”

“… Go home quickly. Baron Jun will be waiting for you.”

He didn’t stop by the house, but he saw Mick and immediately spoke to him, and it seemed like someone was waiting for him. After thinking about it for a while, no one came to mind, so Ronobe decided to go home. From what Mick said, it didn’t seem like anything bad had happened.

“Ronobe.”

When I got home, Benny greeted me.

Benny was outside the house, surrounded by armed soldiers.

‘It’s not Elysia.’

They are not soldiers of Gradas.

The sentences were different.

This is the first time I’ve seen this sentence.

‘The emblem of Gradas is the sword and the wolf.’

But these were eagles.

To be precise, an eagle holding a sword.

“who is this?”

“I’ve seen Ronobedo before.”

Just as I was about to ask what your name was.

“Long time no see.”

The man who opened the door to someone else’s house had a strangely familiar face.

“Ah, that…”

“That’s right. Bryn Alovato.”

Bryn Allovato.

He was the grandson of Brandon Allobato, who was said to have been active in the battle against Cloud. He was also the man who had asked for help in finding his grandfather’s grimoire at the castle of Gradas.

‘But why here…’

When he was embarrassed, Bryn Alovato was embarrassed too.

“The Lord said he was in touch, but you didn’t receive it?”

“A chimney? Ah…”

By the way, I did receive a letter through Aekku.

‘I haven’t read it yet… Is this what it was?’

I was worried that it would be a big deal if there was a story about lovers, so I learned the text and tried to read it myself, but it turned out to be Brin’s story. I was a little disappointed.

“What brings you here?”

“I came here to ask you a favor, Gradas’s land wizard.”

If it’s because of Brandon’s Grimoire, then you’ve seriously misplaced the address.

‘I already swapped shit!’

That grimoire is no longer in this world. Ronobe felt stung for no reason and broke out in a cold sweat.

But Brin shook his head.

“It’s not because of my grandfather’s heirloom.”

“Is that so? Then…”

“It has been decided that Vlad’s territory will be inherited by our family of Alovato.”

“Oh… I see.”

Vlad’s territory.

Since they were originally nobles, they would have had a family estate.

It was a natural thing.

“congratulations.”

“Thank you. However, Vlad’s castle is quite difficult to deal with, so I have no shame in asking you this.”

“Vlad the Great?”

It was difficult to follow the story.

When Ronobe said he didn’t understand English, Brin smiled bitterly and quickly continued his story.

“Vlad’s castle is frozen solid. There is a huge tree of ice growing there, so no one can come near it.”

Ice tree!

“…if it’s a tree of ice.”

There is one who rises.

“Yes. The cold-blooded witch. Her magic still forms the frozen tree that has taken root in Vlad’s castle.”

Brin to Ronobé.

“I wish you would melt that tree.”

He came to ask for a favor.
