BXBX NOVEL Chapter 377
I checked the color and tasted it.
‘Yellow fire…….’
This color meant only one thing.
That there is something around me right now that can have a positive or negative impact on my future.
“What’s around Erwen?”
As soon as he lowered his voice and spoke, Erwen focused on hearing without questioning.
And…
“There’s one of those people.”
“Since when have you been here?”
“I don’t know. But… Seeing him hiding in the dark, I don’t think he’s just arrived. His breathing is stable, too…”
Erwen continued with his words trailing off.
“Ah, they’re having a conversation right now. I think they’re using a message stone. How long until they come back that the Numbers item came out?”
Somehow, the light came on the ring.
Apparently, he even witnessed the capture of Laflemimic…
“It looks like he left the scout. Erwen, you keep focusing on that side. We’ll clear the camp.”
“yes.”
After leaving Erwen on guard, I quickly packed my things and prepared to leave.
But the other side was one step faster than us.
“People have arrived.”
“What about the numbers?”
“Eighteen in all. Oh, we’re discussing what to do with us right now.”
“Yeah, that’s right… What are you going to do?” “I don’t know.
Maybe
the magic was used, but the sound was blocked in the middle. I’m sorry…”
In fact, it was scary to say that, and artificial light burst out from where the guys were hiding, illuminating the surroundings.
“Hey friend! What was your name? I think I forgot to ask earlier.”
It’s a bummer to forget and not ask.
To the subject who did not even say his name.
“Well, I don’t think they’re friendly enough to say it.”
“Haha, you seem to be shy, unlike what you look like?”
The boy smiled and spoke, but his eyes were cold. Also, from earlier, he had been standing with his hands on his waist in a crooked posture.
Because that point is closest to the waist-mounted weapon.
“So what’s the matter?”
“One of our members happened to see you guys grabbing a Laflemimic while on patrol.”
“It’s also very cunning.”
“Isn’t that what the world is like. Anyway, I’ll just talk about the main topic. Give me the spoils you got this time.”
“Why should I?”
“As I said, this area is our clan’s domain. It looks like you made an agreement earlier.”
“agreement?”
I laughed out loud as soon as I heard it, but in fact I understood their position.
I would have walked around this island every day and waited for Laflemimic to come out, but the explorers who stopped by for a moment just ate the whole story.
but what about this
“You wanted us to leave early in the morning, and our acceptance of it would have been the whole deal?”
In fact, we don’t remember ever talking about loot.
“Sophistry.”
“It’s not sophistry, it must be theorem.”
“…….”
Soon after, the guy tightened his jaw, and a crackling sound came out.
I thought I knew roughly how he was feeling.
Of course, I would have thought that such an agreement had been reached.
No, I wouldn’t have thought that a monster would come out of us overnight.
“There is an unwritten law in a labyrinth. If you violate our rights, even if we hurt you, no one will blame us.”
A very direct threat.
I stared at him as if I was serious, and he faced me without avoiding my gaze.
“…….”
“…….”
An atmosphere that would not be strange no matter which side you take out a weapon at any time.
gulp.
As the silence lengthened, the group behind him tightened their grip on their weapons. As if he would immediately launch an offensive according to the answer that came out of my mouth.
Of course, I wasn’t the one who couldn’t say that.
“I don’t know about unwritten rules.”
I spoke firmly.
“Anyone who tries to take what is mine is a plunderer.”
“…You choose to shake hands.”
Without listening carefully, he shrugged his shoulders and let it flow through one ear.
“I’ve heard it often. Where do you think everyone is?”
“…….”
“But now the situation is clearer.”
Soon after, I gave the final notice.
“What are you doing?
It was a completely different composition from our first meeting.
Earlier, as soon as I said I would leave early in the morning, he was the one who looked down on us and messed around.
But what about now?
When I go out strong enough to look extreme, I don’t know what to do.
Well, it must have been embarrassing.
You’ll never know why you’re so confident with five times fewer numbers.
‘There must be something about Erwen among them.’
They don’t seem to recognize Erwen yet.
But the fact that the fairy archer on our team killed Laflamimic with a single arrow must have been passed on to him.
You must have an intuition that you are not talking about something.
“…….”
However, it seemed difficult to make a decision, perhaps because he was in front of the clan members.
Therefore…
“If you’re having a hard time choosing, I’ll help you.”
“……?”
“If you’re in front of me after counting to three, I’ll understand that you’re going to attack me.”
“…what?”
He put on an expression as if he had been told nonsense, but when I actually started counting, his complexion changed.
“three.”
“……!”
“two.”
Instead of procrastinating, I counted faster than the actual time.
And the moment you want to shout the last one.
“…you won’t have to see pointless blood.”
The guy raised the white flag.
***
“Captain! Why did you back down from there!”
The Huntsman Clan’s leader, Ekshire Melik, frowned at his subordinate’s cry. Then one of his henchmen hurried to speak for him.
“I hunted Laflemimic without a mage. At least that fairy archer is a 3rd-class explorer. Judging from the fact that they’re traveling together, the other two must be similar.”
“Even if all three of us are level 3 explorers, we’re outnumbered!”
“Remilton, have you ever fought a level 3 explorer? They are monsters.”
“But there were also wizards! We could have won with our numbers, though!”
“But more than half of us must be dead. Do you think that one number item is worth that much?”
“That’s…”
The man who was the first to question the henchman’s logic murmured.
And then the real division began.
“But if this is known, it will look ridiculous anywhere.”
“It hasn’t happened yet, and even if it does, I think the captain’s decision was right.”
“But who the hell is that fairy? Killing Laflamemic in one shot…” ”
If it’s a silver-haired woman… isn’t that the woman after the blood spirit?”
“Really, then we could have been in great trouble.”
“Blood spirits? Did everyone eat something strange? Why is that crazy woman here? She must be crazy about war and cutting people down right now.”
As they dispute each other’s opinions, their shrill voices grow louder and louder. And naturally, factions split among those who agree.
That was when
“Captain! They’re leaving the island in a boat!”
A subordinate who was scouting made a report, and the members who had been arguing with their voices raised their voices, all looked at one person.
A look filled with questions about what to do now.
Ekshire Melik sighed so that no one could see.
‘Shit.’
Running a clan is like driving a single ship.
Even when trials come, such as typhoons, rolling waves, and lightning strikes, the captain must show how to overcome them.
That’s why…….
“Everyone, stop and pack your stuff first.”
The man made a decision.
“The captain said that……”
“I will pursue them.”
As a result, the expressions of the members who belonged to the radical faction brightened.
On the other hand, those who demanded a moderate response expressed concern.
“But their power is formidable.”
Three explorers estimated to have an average of 3 stars.
But the man wasn’t too worried.
“I know your worries. But maybe it’s on land. We can’t get tired of fighting at sea.”
“So that’s why you sent me so obediently!”
Those who belonged to the radical group admired the man’s mindset, and the opposite camp also showed some agreement.
As such, they were confident in naval battles.
But still, was there such a question?
“Still… is it worth that much for one number item?”
To one member’s cautious question, Ekshire Melik answered with a smile.
“Certainly, one number item doesn’t pay off.”
“That means—.”
“But isn’t that all they have?”
Huntsman Clan.
Only now they are stuck on an island like this and are hunting for treasure, but at one time they were pirates on the 6th floor of the Great Sea.
Hunt people and make money.
***
It is early dawn that the day gradually brightens.
Shaaaaaa-!
A cool breeze hits the sails and pushes the ship forward.
In the background, a cluster of stars shines in the twilight sky, and the presence of the sun hidden beyond the horizon is vaguely felt to the east, where the bow is located.
It was a rather fortunate sight.
Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to enjoy it.
“My uncle’s boat is following me. There are three ships in total, and there are no
patterns.” They were chased as soon as they fell off the island .
It was clear
who it was.
Somehow, the situation ended too futilely just because the yellow light came on.
Maybe that’s what they were aiming for.
Those who have three ships must be quite skilled in naval combat.
At sea, it’s much more advantageous Of course ,
one question remained:
‘But why is it yellow instead of red?’
If you’re going to be attacked anyway, wouldn’t it just be red?
What’s positive about this situation?
Such worries were interrupted midway through Amelia’s talk.
”
What are you going to do with Suits?
” ”
Even though the ships have especially strengthened their maneuverability, the distance is rather narrowing even after activating the magical power propulsion system.
So, now we have only one option.
“Emily, it’s a waste, so stop putting magic stones in.”
“Are you going to fight?”
” Is there any other way?”
Amelia didn’t answer my question. She
just let go of the rudder and retracted the sails.
Soon after helping Amelia to retract the sails, the speed of the ship moving along the wind decreased dramatically.
And… ….
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!
Three ships approaching quickly with water started to enter my sight. The most noticeable of them was in the middle. “…….”
Our
ship’s three ships It’s the weight class of a ship. Magic
cannons are mounted on the sides and front, and there are as many as three sails.
Besides, what’s the only one?
There’s even an icebreaking device on the prow.
This is not the level of a royal warship, but it’s about two levels below. It looks like it…
“If the Shuitzes open fire, our ship will sink soon.”
Amelia expressed her concern at that overwhelming
majesty
. I’m sure this kind of ship will be destroyed soon.
But…
Churr.
I licked my lips and checked the traffic light ring. The
yellow light that I thought of earlier had either faded or long ago.
But now you’ll know. Why
did the yellow light come on instead of the red light?
“The ship… looks so big and sturdy.”
Monsters aren’t the only ones spitting treasure in the labyrinth.
