BXBX NOVEL Chapter 668
is said that the presence of people was detected…
And it wasn’t a team unit…
“There was only one opponent… · Surprisingly, you seem to be sleeping soundly·”
Ironically, the fact that it was only one person made me even more anxious ·
Should I say that it makes even more sense than if there were multiple people?
Who on earth is wandering alone in this dangerous land where level 3 monsters appear? And for what reason?
“I guess I should go first, right?”
“Yes, first of all, it is right to understand all the variables around us…”
Lee Baek-ho and Archer quickly exchange opinions and then rush out.
“I will go first, so follow me!”
Lee Baek-ho shoots out like a cannonball.
Does he have no fear?
If it were me, since it is an unknown variable, I would have approached it slowly and secretly with my teammates…
‘That unconditional confidence…’
Maybe this is Lee Baek-ho’s biggest weakness…
“… Bae Baek-ho?! ”
“Aures, let’s go quickly… That man won’t be in danger… but you never know…”
Soon, we who were left behind also hurriedly followed Baekho Lee…
And how long did it take?
“Who are you to do this! Keck! “Let go of the paddle!”
A man’s urgent voice is heard…
right below…
“…I guess it’s down here…”
As I looked down at the gap in the ground that seemed to have been wide open after the earthquake, I heard Lee Baek-ho’s voice from below…
“Oh, everyone.” I’m here? I’m coming, just wait! “It’s so small here that we can’t all fit in anyway!”
After saying that, we waited for a while and Lee Baek-ho looked up from the bottom of the cliff.
It’s hard to see from above due to the angle, but it looks like there’s a hidden space down there…
“Tsk!”
Soon Lee Baek-ho, who had jumped high, landed where we were, making a sound like an
old man. An unknown middle-aged man was struggling, with his right hand raised high as if he had caught prey. He
looked very unhygienic, as if he hadn’t washed for several months. It was…
“What the hell!” You…! Let go! Let go—·”
The middle-aged man, who had been struggling even harder after spotting us, stopped his gaze on one side and dilated his pupils·
“···Mr. Aures? You are Gatekeeper Aures! Aures niiiiim!!”
“That you…!!”
···What, did we know each other?
“······Who are you?”
“Hi! It’s me! “Red eyes of the 3rd group commander of the security battalion under Noark!”
“Red eyes? “This is my first time hearing this tinnitus…?”
When Aures tilts his head, Lee Baek-ho, who had briefly relaxed his grip on his hair, narrows his gaze.
“Huh, were you just saying a random name and pretending to know me?”
“Oh no! Don’t you know! Red eyes! Red-Eyed Daylan!”
As the guy hurriedly added his own name, Rek Aures seemed to remember something as well.
“Dailan? Daylan is the name of the old man at the Meroon Tavern? Ah… Are you sure you have a son there?”
“Yes yes! you’re right! “That’s me!”
“Oh, come to think of it, there was a guy like that! Hahaha! nice to meet!”
Only then did the two recognize each other.
At this, Baekho Lee seemed to have lost some steam and threw the man he was holding onto the floor like a piece of luggage.
However, that didn’t mean he had lost interest at all
. “You said Daylan, right?”
“Yes yes…! That’s right!”
“Tell me what are you doing here alone?”
“That’s it…”
“If you don’t speak honestly, you’ll be screwed, so keep that in mind…”
That coercive attitude was one of the scary things about Lee Baek-ho.
He completely ignores things like the right and wrong and always uses force to pressure and force an answer. It also has a lie detection function…
‘I thought I was going back at that time too…’
Looking at the shriveled man rolling his eyes and not knowing what to do, old thoughts suddenly come back to me…
Well, the past is just the past…
“Say it quickly. See it? “What kind of nonsense are you doing here?”
When Baekho Lee scolded him once more, the man closed his eyes tightly and answered,
“…I deserted!”
“Desertion…?”
“The plan to invade Lapdonia seems so absurd… isn’t it obvious that people like us will die for no reason!”
“Hey… So you sneaked out while everyone else was leaving?”
“It’s not just me! At first, there were a lot more people who thought the same thing as me…”
“Huh? But why are you alone now?”
“Well… we got scattered in the middle because of the monster…”
When I heard about the situation, I heard that at first, more than a hundred people were left wandering around in the outside world…
Are you saying that if we join forces, we will be able to live happily here?
They used to say things like that, but that promise became meaningless the moment they encountered a powerful monster.
Isn’t that true too? They
were the ones who left the group in the first place only for their own safety, but they couldn’t properly join forces when an emergency came. It couldn’t be there…
“So after we dispersed, we wandered around carefully, looking for a place to hide… Then we settled here…”
“In that rabbit hole that was on that cliff earlier?”
“Yes…”
“How long have you been living there?”
“I… I don’t know the exact time, but it must have been about two months now…”
“Wow, that’s amazing… But where did you urinate?”
“Well… actually… go to the edge of the cliff and squat down—”
“Stop it! “Dirty talk…”
Jaina, the healer, frowned and started nagging, and Baekho Lee grumbled but smiled and did not continue talking…
And did he think now was the right time?
“But… who is Confucius?”
The guy boldly asks Baekho Lee a question:
“Me? “Why am I curious?”
“Well… it’s no different… If you came from the city, I was wondering if you knew… whether Seongju’s plan was successful…”
Are you now regretting not following along?
If you say he’s from the city, he’s going to ask you to take him with you when you return to the city…
Of course, there’s no way Lee Baek-ho will allow such a request…
“You don’t know that, so just be quiet…”
“····”
“Huh, then what should we do with this guy?” Should I do it? Anyway, it looks like it will fall apart soon if I leave
it alone…” The man’s expression became much more urgent at those words. It’s
not like he couldn’t understand.
I would get goosebumps seeing him talk like that as if he was thinking about what to have for dinner tonight. Ji-gyeong—·
“Now wait a minute! “I have a proposition for you!”
“huh?”
“Take me with you when you go back to the city! Then I will give you useful information!”
A deal proposal with a clear hint of desperation.
However, Lee Baek-ho only made a disgruntled expression.
“Hmm, I’m not really curious…”
His voice seemed like he was genuinely not interested, but I could tell that it was an act.
Or, more accurately, it was as natural as breathing. It’s like a negotiation…
It was this guy’s habit to take the initiative when the other party took a low stance…
“Well, just tell me… If it’s really useful, I’ll think about it…”
Lee Baek-ho was completely in the upper position without giving anything away. I spoke, and soon I heard something completely unexpected from the man’s mouth…
“Dimensional tombstone…! “I know where the dimensional tombstone is again!”
Hmm…?
***
The man’s story was very short and concise.
It was a time when he was wandering around for a long time to find a safe place after being separated from the group.
At that time, he accidentally discovered
a dimension that had the same appearance as the one in the Noark Frontier. The tombstone…
“What is it… Is it real?”
Lee Baek-ho, who has a lie detector, can say this, so there will be no doubt about its authenticity…
“It was hidden in a dangerous place where ordinary people would never go. You will never find it if it’s not me!”
Certainly… the guy who used to find and live in a small cave at the bottom of a cliff says that, so it seems like it might be in an unexpected place…
“So where is it?”
Soon, the existence of the dimensional tombstone must have been so fascinating that Lee Baek-ho could no longer pretend to be indifferent.
The man must have sensed it as well and quickly made a deal.
“It’s not hard to tell you… uh…”
“Okay, you want a promise, right? I promise… If you follow me around and don’t cause trouble, I’ll take you to the city…”
The man seemed to be looking to see if Lee Baek-ho was lying, but in the end, he seemed to think there was nothing he could do, so he nodded…
“I believe it…”
“Okay, that’s enough… then. “Tell me, where are you?”
In response to Lee Baek-ho’s question, the man approached the edge of the cliff where his hiding place was…
and…
“It’s down here…”
“Below here?”
“Yes…”
Ha, somehow, he said it too easily.
Anyway, if we just search this area, we would be caught right away, so he was trying to end the transaction quickly.
“I’ll go first, so everyone can come down on their own, okay?”
This time too, Lee Baek-ho jumped off the cliff without hesitation at all, and we all followed him down using our own methods.
Whoo!
The wizard uses floating magic.
Ta-ta-da-ta-ta-!
The archer is jumping up and down the cliff…
[Heeheeheeheeing-!]
The priest is riding a summoned beast that can fly…
And I…
‘I’ll have to hit it with my body…’
Quaaaaaaaang-!
Perhaps because it was quite deep, the moment I landed, I felt like electricity was flowing through my toes, but I was able to hold on thanks to my bone strength and physical resistance stats that I worked hard to achieve.
“Hey, Baron, are you hot?”
“What are you talking about? I guess this is the dimensional monument?”
“Yes, it really did exist? I’ll have to ask Grandpa later to see if I can make it work…”
70m is a fairly deep valley…
In that dark place where light doesn’t reach properly, the dimensional monument that the man mentioned earlier clearly existed…
“Oh Grandpa! Here here! “Come and check it out!”
“Habellion, go and take a look together…”
After the wizards arrived, they examined the dimensional tombstone and both wizards came to the same conclusion.
“It has exactly the same properties as the dimensional tombstone we used…”
“Probably then. Like, if you infuse enough magic power, there is a high possibility that a portal will open…” “
Wow, really? “This is how I find something I couldn’t find even after searching so hard…”
Lee Baek-ho, who said that, punches the tunnel man’s shoulder as if he’s proud…
I guess if you’re going to praise something, you should hit it harder…
but that’s just each person’s style. ·
“Then, let’s quickly put in the magic power first and see if it works properly…”
“···What do you plan to do if it does?”
“No, just try it first. You have to see if it works first and think about it. Why aren’t people like this?”
“····”
The GM, who had been scolded for saying something for no reason, approaches the dimensional tombstone with a bitter expression…
And…
“Let’s begin…”
When magical power was injected together with the Annihilator who came first, it was completely the same as before. The effect exploded…
Ssaaaaaa!
The light emitted by concentrated magical power…
It gradually takes shape, increases in size, and finally takes shape…
“The portal has really opened…”
“What are you going to do now, White Tiger?”
“···Well, I really need to think about it from now on…”
“Finish it as quickly as possible, since the portal only lasts for about 5 minutes…”
“Okay…”
Baekho Lee, who was wondering if he was really thinking about it alone, soon opened his mouth again. ·
“But I’m also curious… Where this leads… It feels like I’m really exploring for the first time in a long time…” ”
… Don’t forget our purpose… We came all this way to get materials to fix the magic circle…”
“But just in case, Right? If I ride this, I wonder if I can get there faster…”
“····”
“If it doesn’t work, I just have to open the portal again and come back… right?”
What percentage of P does this guy have?
It was an unimaginable way of thinking for me, but I still agreed on one thing…
‘I’m curious…’
Should I say that it really feels like I’m exploring?
Just as I was thinking about that, Baekho Lee made his decision.
“Okay, I’m done worrying.”
“What should I do?”
“Let’s just move on. It’s more work to come back here later. It’s okay, Baron, right?”
Um…
“If I say no, you won’t do it?”
“No, are we going to move on by ourselves? Baron, please wait here…”
“I will follow you…”
Yes, this can also be said to be a kind of hidden piece, but I can’t send Baekho Lee alone…
Once I made my decision, it was a quick decision from then on…
“Hey, you go in first…”
“Um… ·· Do you mean me?”
“Is there any reason why I can’t go in?”
“There might be something dangerous on the other side… Oh, I’ll go first…”
“It would have happened a long time ago…”
Lee Baek-ho sent the tunnel man into the portal first, and from then on, they went through the portal one by one.
FYI, it’s my turn. It was the last one…
but flash-!
The sight before my eyes turns white and my vision slowly recovers.
As is my habit, I first look around the surroundings.
The terrain is in a dark cave.
There are no monsters nearby.
But the problem is…
“Mr. White Tiger? Are you sure you came to the right place? “I can’t see the dimensional monument anywhere?”
The moment I crossed over, the portal disappeared and the dimensional tombstone that allows me to open the portal again is nowhere to be seen…
Also…
‘One, two, three, four, five…’
One person is missing…
No, to be exact…
“What is that bastard…”
The guy who told us the location of the dimensional monument is nowhere to be seen.
“Where did he really go? “There’s absolutely no time to run away? What the hell are you doing, you bastard?”
Lee Baek-ho muttered as if he didn’t understand.
I swallowed my saliva as I looked at him like that.
My heart pounded!
Should I say that I feel like I have somehow fallen into a trap?
An ominous feeling begins to creep in for no reason…
I hurriedly spoke to Aures, who was acquainted with the guy…
“Aures…”
“Why are you calling me?”
“You know that guy from earlier? A guy named Daylan…”
“Is that so?”
“If Daylan is your last name… what is your name…?”
A somewhat unexpected question from Aures’s point of view…
However, Aures thought about it seriously before answering…
“Well… I don’t really remember…” ”
… Is that so?”
Unfortunately, it wasn’t a very fruitful answer, but…
‘… Wouldn’t it be better if I didn’t know?’
When I was thinking about that and was about to give up my thoughts…
Aures said something I couldn’t hear…
“Just…”
“Just?”
“It seems like it was a very common name…”
. . . Isn’t it right?
