[Tutorial Chapter 2 – Moving]
-You must reach the destination by moving along the meadow.
– Remaining time to reach the destination: 151 hours 41 minutes
Following the instructions of the tutorial, the full-scale movement began.
Is it because I safely finished the wave, the ordeal of the first chapter, and rested for the first time without any worries? People’s condition seemed better than ever.
And finally, the carriage made by the twin sisters started to move.
softly-
“Wow, it moves!”
“Look, my carriage is faster, right?”
“What are you talking about, it’s the same everywhere you look!”
“I’m deliberately letting you go slowly to look after you?”
“Change seat! If my carriage is in front, it will show superior speed!”
The wagon was better than Seun had imagined.
It wouldn’t have taken much time, but it’s just the right size and it’s sturdy enough to carry a lot of luggage without any problems.
The four wheels were wrapped in boar’s leather, which served as a cushion.
It was the most appropriate choice here where pneumatic tires could not be obtained.
“Are you doing well?”
“Yes, thanks. But I wonder if it’s okay for me to be on the carriage like this.”
“it’s okay. Just pulling a wagon is like doing a few people’s work.”
After giving Baekhyun the task of raising the Manticore, Se-Won went straight to Yoo Seo-Ah and explained the situation.
To be honest, there was no problem in handling two skeletons by himself, but it was common sense for an ordinary person to have one coachman for each wagon.
Taking advantage of that, I let Baekhyun sit in the carriage. So that he could study necromancy on top of it.
And it wasn’t a lie at all, the skeleton of the carriage Baekhyun was riding was really the skeleton he summoned.
-The constellation ‘The Word That Tramples Death’ teaches the basics of black magic, marveling at the rich knowledge of the Contractor.
If Yoo Seo-ah and Kang Kang-cheol’s constellations, ‘The Crowned Spider’ and ‘The Old Man Riding a Crocodile’, valued practice over theory, Gamigin, the horse of death, was more passionate about exploring knowledge.
As soon as he finished his short conversation with Seun, seeing Baekhyun questioning the Constellation with a sincere look in his eyes seemed like a perfect fit for him.
Meanwhile, Sewoon sat on the carriage in the back and began to collect mana.
Since the skeleton had been instructed to follow the carriage in front, Sewoon had nothing to do right away unless a variable occurred.
Ugh!
As he mastered Deep Gong, the speed at which his inner Gong accumulated became even faster.
Utilizing the experience felt in the joint, these days, he is collecting mana in the circle at the same time as cutting off.
If many players in the tower had seen this scene, they would have opened their mouths and admired it.
It is generally known that it is impossible to collect inner energy and mana at the same time.
‘Certainly, the circle has stabilized a lot.’
Like the Deep Gong, Black Tower’s training method focuses on efficiency, but lacks stability.
Similarly, the mana circle was rougher and rougher than the first circle.
However, after opening Baekhyun’s circle, Black Mana, which broke through Baekhyun’s circle and returned, refined Sewoon’s circle a lot.
It seemed as if Mana, who was still spinning in a circle, was ‘humming’ as if asking for praise.
“You never know when a monster will appear! I’ll put two people on guard every two hours!”
“yes!”
While Sewoon was in the middle of concentrating, he heard the voice of Yoo Seo-ah commanding the people.
Following her command, people began to be vigilant in all directions around the wagon.
There was no mention of monsters in the system, so it’s worth noting. Indeed, she is a meticulous personality.
Others were also following her words, thanks to the memories of the Monster Wave and the trust they had built up in Yu Seo-ah.
‘Come to think of it, it was about this.’
According to Seun’s memory, a surprise attack by monsters takes place near the end of the meadow.
However, since there was no specific location in the grassland, even Sewoon did not know the exact location.
Even when I recalled my memories before returning, I couldn’t even remember where the monster had appeared because I was in such a hurry at the time.
And just then I came up with the most appropriate way to figure it out.
That’s right, going straight to reconnaissance.
“Pil Jung.”
Sewoon did not look anywhere in particular and called for Park Jung-pil as he was comfortable.
However, as usual, the answer that would have been immediately heard did not come. Because of that, the moment I tried to call your name again.
“Yes, brother! Jeongpil is here!”
From far away, Park Jung-pil hurriedly ran.
Wondering what he was doing, I looked at the place he had come running to, and a man standing guard on the left made eye contact with Sewoon and flinched.
‘It must have been standing guard.’
Perhaps, as soon as he heard his name, he changed his seat using Seun as an excuse.
The person who just met Sewoon’s eyes would have had no choice but to change seats because of the value of the name ‘Sewoon’.
This, unintentionally, only increased the notoriety.
I thought about persecuting Park Jung-pil, but… … .
‘Because I need this guy now.’
As long as Seun didn’t go out on his own, Park Jeong-pil was the most suitable person to scout.
Thanks to the contract with Vallefort, he’s quick on his feet, and he’ll be good at running away while working as a chaser.
“Go scouting.”
“Reconnaissance? Where?”
“Ahead.”
“Are you already standing guard on the front? Do you really need me?”
“Not that much, but far ahead. Look around for a few kilometers and come see.”
“… … yes?”
Park Jeong-pil’s face hardened.
I thought I missed out on the annoying vigilance mission, but now that I’ve been entrusted with a much more difficult mission, I have no choice but to react like that.
However, this time he did not listen to Seun easily.
“Tongue, brother! I’m good at it, but that’s not enough.”
“why?”
“We are all on the move, and to scout a few kilometers ahead, we really need to keep running for hours! I’m too lazy swarm!”
“Hmm… … .”
I heard it and it is true.
Until now, I didn’t think too much about it because I was the one who did it on my own, but it’s definitely impossible to go scouting on two legs.
Scouts are often on horseback.
‘It’s a horse.’
Come to think of it, there was nothing I couldn’t save.
Seun turned around and rummaged through the luggage piled up in the wagon, and found one of the Red Wolf’s bones.
It was prepared in advance, thinking of the case of traveling long distances to find the hidden piece.
There was no hidden piece to find for the time being anyway, and Seun had no reason to board the plane himself, as he had to see and move to the destination.
Moreover, thanks to Baekhyun raising one skeleton, Se-Woon can summon another skeleton.
Hard!
“Wow!”
He raised the wolf’s bones with the summoning technique he was accustomed to.
Although not as good as a wild boar, it was worth seeing because of its size, befitting a Red Wolf. When I put the excess leather on top of it for a saddle, it looked pretty good.
However, this is not enough.
Kwajik!
Seun took out the black magic stone he used to open Baekhyun’s circle the other day.
A black magic stone that has become transparent with empty mana.
It was embedded in the wolf’s skull.
Since it was not simply inserted by force, but ‘installed’ on the skull of the skeleton, the black magic stone settled on the wolf’s skull as if it were its original place.
It was like seeing a wolf with horns.
Whoops!
Soon after, Sewoon blew mana into the black magic stone.
Then, the transparent black magic stone was filled with light gray mana.
It’s not quite as good as its original appearance, which boasted a completely black color, but it should be enough to maintain the skeleton like a top-notch mana stone.
“Is this enough?”
“Wow, are you giving this guy to me?”
“Well, look at what you’re doing.”
“Aww, thank you! After all, it was good that I followed my brother!”
I can’t hand over ownership of it because I have to inject black mana regularly, but if I put an order to follow Park Jeong-pil’s instructions, it’s possible to handle it even if it’s not Sewoon.
I didn’t explain it in detail, since it was only necessary for reconnaissance anyway.
When a vehicle was created, Park Jeong-pil completely erased the troubled look and gave charity to the skeleton’s saddle.
“Since it is a gift from my brother, I will name it Baekrang after my brother’s nickname!”
“ha… … .”
That guy, even after going well, always says one more thing and makes my forehead sore.
Thinking so, Sewoon waved his hand.
“Then, I will go. older brother! What!”
“Report properly and go. Don’t scare people.”
“Ah, I have that much common sense too! Let’s go, Baekrang!”
Taat!
The skeleton on which Park Jung-pil rode moved its legs.
Guy, I warned him in advance for fear of doing something conspicuous, but he leaves for scouting only after boasting around people.
Why did such a guy have the talent of a chaser, or why did Valefort’s attention focus on him?
I couldn’t understand it at all.
Whoops!
In the meantime, Sewoon was able to focus on gathering energy and mana again.
The peaceful movement continued for a while.
People’s tension is relaxed, and they are slowly preparing for a break.
“uh? Hey, don’t you think there’s something there?”
“What do you mean? Can’t you see?”
“Hey, little… … . I think there is something. It seems that there is dust behind it.”
“is it?”
I heard the voices of some people whispering.
Sewoon also looked in the direction they were pointing, but he couldn’t see properly, perhaps because they were too far away.
I thought I knew roughly who it was, but I had to confirm.
– Opened the treasure house of greed.
[Chuckeye of the Monarch Eagle]
– With the eyes of an eagle, a beast known to rule the sky, it boasts excellent eyesight to the extent that it can spot prey on the ground even above the clouds.
As he opened up to Mamon’s warehouse, Seun checked the situation ahead.
And as Se-Woon predicted, Park Jeong-Pil was speeding up and approaching.
However, the boy’s expression was very urgent. As if being chased by something… … .
“ha… … .”
Sewoon let out a deep sigh.
They found hundreds of monsters chasing Park Jung-pil.
The identity of the cloud of dust rising up was the same guys.
I thought someone might not be a chaser, so I sent them to do reconnaissance, and they chased the monsters.
“Everyone prepare for battle.”
“Do you see that?”
“No, I don’t think even Mongolians will see that street… … .”
“Everyone get ready! I will form a formation around the wagon!”
Under the direction of Yoo Seo-ah, who noticed Se-un’s sincerity, people form formations.
Tutorial Chapter 2, Go.
The first battle was coming.
