Chapter 079 The Stranger

“Woo-wook.”

Hyuk, who came over to the gate, immediately grabbed the tree next to him and poured out his vomit.

“Come to think of it, is this the second time Hyuk entered your gate?”

“under. yes. Then, following the Minotaur Dungeon… Woo-wook.”

“You will gradually get used to it.”

I patted Hyuk on the back and looked around.

“This is it. I don’t know where to go.”

The surroundings were dark with numerous trees blocking the sky.

The sky seen through the leaves was still blue, so it was daytime.

“North is this way.”

Minyoung looked at the compass and pointed to one side.

According to Gilliant, the direction the sun rises and the movement of the compass are similar to those of the Earth.

However, the problem was the environment here now.

The place where we were standing was in a deep forest with no roads in all directions, including the north, and was densely covered with trees.

In short, knowing the direction didn’t help.

“This is it. How will you find your way?”

Soo-yeon sighed and said.

I reassured them.

“don’t worry. Because I have a way.”

The person who could help in this situation was Archmage Penzaric.

[Link complete!]

The link was completed and Penzarik’s voice was heard.

[What’s going on?]

‘Penzaric. Remember what I said before?’

[They said they came over to our world? Are you here?]

‘Yes, but I have a small problem.’

[What?]

‘I don’t know where this is.’

[What do you see around you?]

‘It’s just forest everywhere.’

[forest? Anything unusual? The shape of the tree or the unusual plants growing around it.]

I looked around once more.

Just then, I saw an unusual mushroom under the tree.

‘I see a mushroom?’

[Explain the shape and color.]

‘hmm. It looks like a common mushroom on a red background, but the pattern is unusual. It has stripes like a zebra. Are there zebras here too?’

[zebra? never touch it If you have that mushroom, you are in the hallucinatory forest in the south.]

‘A hallucinatory forest?’

[okay. The mushrooms there cause hallucinations, so if you do something wrong, you will get lost and never come out of the forest.]

‘How do I get out of here?’

[Did you say you had a compass?]

‘yes.’

[Good job. It would have been difficult without it. Because the trees are overgrown, it is difficult to see the constellations. Anyway, go straight west. Then you can leave the forest. After leaving the forest, turn north and follow the road. If nothing special happens, you will be able to meet a small village.]

West, then North.

He said, remembering the direction Penzaric had told him.

‘thank you. What is the capital? Are you there?’

[It’s a very long journey from where you are to the capital. The capital is in the north. Where you are is the South.]

After that, Penzarik told me how to get to the capital.

[You will probably need an ID to enter the castle. The best thing to do is sign up for a mercenary guild. Each village will be helping to register mercenaries, so register first when you arrive in the village.]

Also, it was good to ask.

If we foolishly tried to solve it by ourselves, we wouldn’t have even left the forest.

Even if he escaped, he would have been detained for unknown reasons.

‘Could it be that there is also slavery?’

I hoped it wasn’t so I asked.

[Just try to be sold as a slave while acting like a motherf*cker!]

Why don’t any ominous expectations escape?

The fantasy world of the medieval background in the novel was clear.

To say that there are slaves means that there is also a caste system.

‘I’ll start by registering as a mercenary.’

That was how we could make it safely to the capital without suspicion.

[Reconnect when you arrive in the capital. I’m not going to pick you up.]

‘Yes, I’ll see you in the capital.’

[Let’s live.]

Penzaric’s last greeting was somehow awkward.

It seemed that there were many dangers besides the ones explained.

“How is it?”

As I sighed and lifted the luggage, Min-young asked.

“First, go straight west.”

Checking the compass, we walked west.

In the meantime, Hyuk, who had emptied his stomach, was now breathing with his arms wide open.

“Whoops! ha ha this fresh air. This is forest bathing.”

“Don’t overdo it. And watch out, because the mushrooms in this forest are said to cause hallucinations.”

“Hee! why tell me now! woo. woo. Twi.”

“what? Did you pick it up and eat it?”

“no. Mushrooms release spores. I thought you might have inhaled it… … .”

At Hyuk’s words, we stopped walking for a moment.

“I forgot.”

“Why didn’t I think of that?”

I really forgot.

About the characteristics of mushrooms.

“no way… Are we okay?”

“mask! Soo Yeon-ah! Did you bring our handkerchief?”

“Uh, here.”

Min-young frantically looked for a handkerchief.

Soo-yeon took out four handkerchiefs from her bag, and Min-yeong snatched them and gave them to us.

“It’s not perfect, but wouldn’t it be possible to use a handkerchief as a substitute for a mask?”

Minyoung was right.

We all covered our respirators with handkerchiefs and continued westward.

Recognizing the danger, Hyuk used his ability to guide us to the safest possible place.

Had it taken that long?

We were able to get out of the woods.

“Whoa. I thought you were going to die.”

As soon as he left the forest, Hyuk let out a small breath and said.

It was the same for the other couples.

“I almost quit before the adventure even started.”

“Huck, huck. Seo Joon-ah. Where are you going next?”

Soo-yeon sat down on the ground and cooled the flowing sweat.

Minyoung took a deep breath and looked around.

Coming out of the forest, what stretched out in front of us was a vast meadow.

“I went north. A deal with a village.”

“okay? Then let’s go. The sun will set soon.”

As Min-young said, the sun was tilting a lot.

Inadvertently looking toward the direction of the sun, we were surprised by another scenery.

“Moon, there are two moons!”

At Hyuk’s cry, two moons were rising above the setting sun.

Only then did I really realize that we had come to a fantasy world.

*

It was after sunset when we arrived at the village that was supposed to be in the north.

“we… … You’re getting attention, right?”

“Uh, I guess.”

“Because it looks different.”

I entered while receiving the baptism of passionate eyes of the villagers.

To them, we were complete strangers.

“I want to go to the inn soon! Can I try that dark beer?!”

“no way! Are you still underage?! And don’t you know the mood right now? Be quiet!”

While Soo-yeon put the excited Hyuk to sleep, a sturdy middle-aged man approached us.

“Are you a tourist?”

“Yes, I have to go to the imperial capital, but I need a place to stay. Is there an inn in town?”

The middle-aged man said with a surprised expression at my question.

“Do you speak the official language of the Empire?”

The outward appearance of the villagers was Westerners.

To them, as Asians, we will be seen as a completely different race.

So, this guy is amazing.

“I learned while traveling.”

The man nodded his head when he answered in a way he often did at times like this.

“Well, you need to know to make a living. come follow me By the way, I am Goose, the deputy mayor of this village.”

A man who identified himself as Goose took us to a house on the corner of town.

“Look! Will! Are you sleeping?”

Goose knocked on the door and called for someone.

Soon the door opened and the one who came out was a skinny man.

“Is there a problem? I was making some tea. Come in… … .”

Will, who was talking fast, stopped talking when he saw us.

“Hey. Aren’t they eastern savages?!”

Are you a savage? we?

Suddenly, he gets angry at being treated like a savage, but Goose steps in.

“They look similar, but I don’t think they are eastern savages. He said he was a tourist. You know our town doesn’t have an inn, right? There is room left in your house, so I brought it. Hey guys.”

After explaining us to Will, Gus turned to us and said,

“Will’s room is the most left here, so sleep here. Can you pay for the inn for Will?”

“Yes, if you let me put it to sleep, I will pay for it.”

Can’t you be homeless?

Oh, but how do we do the math here?

I didn’t think of that.

The currency must be different here.

Although there are jewels, it might look strange when a first-time traveler holds out a jewel.

could have been dangerous

Since it’s a village, is there a shop?

The priority was to dispose of jewelry while buying things.

“Goose, by any chance, are there any shops in town?”

“Our village is only farming. Oh, there’s a forge. Why do you need anything?”

“Tomorrow, then, I will stop by the smithy. I’ll pay the price later. Can I still? Will?”

When I asked, Will shook his head and went inside.

“What is this? If you refuse, you’ll be a bad guy. come in Do you want more tea cups… … .”

He made a fuss about being an eastern savage, so I thought he was very wary of strangers, but when the misunderstanding was resolved, he became friendly.

With Will’s guidance, we booked a room and gathered in the living room to drink tea from Will.

“Does Will live alone?”

In response to Min-young’s question, Will looked at the flames in the fireplace and said,

“I used to have a family too.”

Will looked at the flames for a long time and then looked at us and said.

“Don’t ask me for any more kindness. Look at the eastern savages.”

Will’s expression immediately turned cold as he paused.

“I want to kill you.”

After that, we had to drink tea in silence.

*

Maybe it’s because I slept a little nervous because of Will’s last words.

Maybe it’s because the environment has changed.

I couldn’t sleep properly.

As I came out after stretching my stiff body, I saw Will chopping firewood in the yard.

“Will, thanks for putting me to bed.”

At my greeting, Will silently nodded and swung the ax vigorously.

Poo! The cross section of the split log was neat.

‘Am I a master of life?’

Seeing that the ax was neat, it seemed that his firewood chopping skills were exceptional.

“You woke up so early?”

Then, Goose approached.

“yes. Thanks to… thank you.”

I can’t say I slept well.

“Didn’t you say you had to go to the blacksmith? come with me Charles is diligent and should be lighting the brazier by now.”

“Ah yes.”

I woke Soo-yeon before following Goose.

It was because I was worried that Will’s attitude might harm the group.

“I’ll go to the blacksmith for a while. Look after the kids.”

“Haam~ Don’t worry and go.”

Goose took me to a stream a bit out of town.

There was a large workshop that had been smoking since morning.

“hey! Charles! Accept guests!”

As Goose shouted, a middle-aged man with a beard appeared from inside the building holding a sledgehammer.

“What kind of guest are you from early morning! The heat hasn’t even come up in the furnace yet!”

Charles, who was screaming while brandishing a hammer, met my eyes and froze.

“what? Are you a guest? Are the eastern savages your guests?”

I was in a bad mood because I kept calling him lowly, so I looked straight into Charles’ eyes and told him.

“I am not a savage, I am a traveler.”

“Even if you look at it, you look exactly like the eastern savages? no work! I don’t sell stuff to the easterners!”

Goose said to Charles, who stubbornly turned around.

“okay? Well, if you don’t want to do business, you’re welcome, but didn’t you say you need silver? You must need money to get silver?”

I grinned at Charles, who hesitated at those words.

Yes, everyone is the same wherever they live.

I took out the smallest jewel from my bosom.

Where do you want to do business?

“Silver? How much silver can I buy for this amount of jewelry?”

Call the price.

It’s time to bargain.

“what? what? Ruby?!”

Goose jumped up and screamed, as if he hadn’t expected me to take out the jewel.

Turning to the sound, Charles quickly walked over to me and stared at the ruby in my hand.

Charles, who held my hand and studied Ruby for a while, smiled and said:

“Sir, the morning air is chilly. Let’s talk inside.”
