I Became a Foreigner Loved by Transcendentalists

Episode 59. This is him…?

“… “I ended up giving it to you.”

After a piece of luggage disappeared.

The person who approached the decayed dragon sitting in the abandoned ruins slowly began to reveal its presence.

Is it too late to notice because the other person also has a short life left like you?

Or is it because you’ve become so weak that you can’t even notice that?

“Okay, how do you feel? “Entrusting the fate of a race to an outsider who was not recognized as a warrior and had no power.”

Either way, it would be considered humiliating to the dragon, but even so, it did not try to shake him off.

He was one of the few people in this world who remembered that child despite the approaching disasters and the passage of time.

“… Tasian Paloi, a dragon that only attained the same lifespan as a human at the end of its life.”

To me, no matter what their name or appearance, all humans look the same, but even so, I was trying to remember that arrogant guy.

He tried to remember that if there was a guy who came to him and preached arrogantly, it was that guy.

“Why are you continuing this meaningless contract?”

Yes, just as humans cannot tell insects apart with the naked eye, in the same way, humans with names and lives all look the same to her.

Even if he had killed them countless times, there was no way he could feel guilt or pity for them.

“Don’t you already know the answer to your heart? She may not know it before she dies, but after she…….”

“Hey kid.”

It is called Tacia Firoy.

Using the name he gave to his adopted daughter, whom he had adopted on a whim, as an assumed name is not to sympathize with or commemorate her death.

Just to complete the contract.

I just thought that since the contract was absolute to the dragon, we should never forget that guy.

“Are you a species that mindlessly neglects their children for more than 10 years just because they don’t want to show their ugly sides?”

Still suppressing her own power, she sought to define her own mind in that way.

“… ….”

“… “You’re as immature as that guy. If you talk about anything, it’ll only show you that you’re interpreting things the way you like.”

Even though it was the end of life and we lived the same time, nothing changed.

As we have lived for eons, the passage of time during the 50 years of collapse also happens faster than what humans experience.

“It’s obvious that you hated me at the end of that damn year. In a situation like that, appealing to the government to save even one’s own people just seems odd to me.”

Because the life should have ended like that.

On the contrary, the 50 years as a dead person who only maintained consciousness felt longer and more painful.

No matter how obvious the outcome may be, since it has already begun, I cannot just ignore it like a life spent in emptiness.

“… Yes, even if I, a human being, say that I understand you, in the end it will only be a guess.”

An old man who sympathizes with such a fallen dragon but eventually gives up on persuading him.

However, as much as he remembered the nobleness of her heroism, he could not put aside her lingering affection for the ‘mother’ whom she had risked her life to protect.

“Then let me ask you one last question before you leave.”

That’s why I turned my back on her and didn’t leave right away, but instead looked back at her as she tried to light her cigarette alone.

“Even if that young man dies, are you confident that he won’t regret it?”

“… ….”

No answer came back.

A dragon that views humans as equals remains silent when asked questions about humans.

Does that mean that it is positive in itself, or is it because it is thought to be good?

“… “You will regret it.”

The mouth finally opened after the old man, tired of waiting, left his seat.

Afterwards, the lone dragon put a cigarette in its mouth, lit the end of it, and spoke.

“And, you shouldn’t drag it on so you don’t have more regrets.”

The moment when the poisonous smoke made by burning grass, which is no different from poisonous weeds, stings your lungs.

Although she tried to forget the turmoil in her heart, someone’s name was still lingering in her mind.

“But don’t worry, kid.”

Woo Hyo-seong.

A name that is deeply engraved in my heart, even more than my adoptive daughter, who I try not to forget even though she uses a pseudonym.

“Because at least as long as you live, humanity will not be ruined.”

The bitter mutterings I made while thinking of that name were blown away by the wind and disappeared along with the bitter smoke.

The moment when the time of destruction arrives.

As if to affirm the fact that the one person who carries that fate will not fall into despair while witnessing that destruction.

****

After escaping from Tacia’s workshop, I took the time to check the equipment I had before following Airi’s prophecy.

The first thing I checked was armor, which was the initial purpose.

The overall black armor showed overwhelmingly superior performance to previous armor, not only in terms of durability, but also in terms of weight and comfort.

Even the joints are made of armor made by tying together tough tendons, allowing free movement while protecting the joints better than most joint protectors.

But what is even more surprising is that this armor also has special functions such as magic equipment.

‘Unless the equipment is seriously damaged, there is no need to take it out for repairs. Because the armor itself has some regenerative power.’

‘Armor, regenerative power?’

‘Well, it saves on repair costs by removing minor scratches, but as the risk of collapse increases as the scratches increase, it can be said to be the best function for adventurers who roll a lot.’

As the saying goes, having an excuse to save money for an adventurer who is strapped for money is in itself a welcome story.

Generally speaking, it can be said to be the highest spec among the equipment used by adventurers, but despite these undeserved benefits, there was one thing that was disappointing.

‘It’s unfortunate. If there had been a nucleus, the regenerative power could have been increased even further.’

… Um, yeah.

Let’s skip this part for now.

Paying attention to things you can’t help is harmful to your mental health.

“Is this next?”

I immediately turned my attention away from the armor and the next thing I checked was the dagger in the sheath on my waist.

I was lucky enough to get it from some idiot while walking down the street. It is an item with a powerful function that secretes poison in response to the user’s magic power.

On the other hand, if it doesn’t have magical power, it’s just a sharp dagger, so it’s nothing more than a sidearm at the moment.

Still, I tried asking Tacia for advice just in case, but all I got back from Tacia was a cold answer…….

‘If there had been a core, it would have filled the magic power instead, but it was unfortunate.’

“Oh, that guy’s core is really… ….”

It’s clear that I received undeserved compensation, but why am I so upset?

I even thought that it would be better if I didn’t know its value, but if I remain ignorant like that in the future, things will happen more often than not.

No matter what, if you pretend not to know, you will continue to be scammed.

More than anything, according to Airi’s prophecy, the possibility of getting the nuclear weapons back will come sooner or later, so let’s just pretend that we learned it cheaply and move on.

-Wooh, wow.

Just as I was about to enter the guild following the prophecy, a vibration was felt from behind.

As I looked back at him, I noticed that the spear attached to my back was trembling on its own.

Ego Weapon made of mithril material.

According to Airi’s prophecy, it was an item of which Tachia had completely transferred ownership to me.

-Hurr, hum.

Is the reason why that weapon continues to vibrate after leaving Tacia’s side because my abilities are affecting this weapon?

“… “Are you glad to see me again?”

-Wow~

The flow of mana that creates vibration is also closer to soft rather than rough.

It felt so familiar, like a cell phone vibration, that I burst out laughing without realizing it.

“Okay, partner, please take good care of me in the future.”

Anyway, now that this guy is completely mine, I can maintain this level of distance.

I don’t know what will happen next, but I turned my attention thinking it would be okay for now, and went straight into the guild, hiding my face with a mask.

‘Please, for my sake…’ …. ‘Live with this weapon.’

Even if I don’t know the reason.

I believe that by surviving as long as I can with this spear, I am repaying her for her kindness.

– Roaring Roaring Roaring Roaring Roaring Roaring Roaring Roaring Roaring Roaring

The adventurer’s bar we stopped by following the prophecy is still noisy.

I found an empty seat among them and sat down. After ordering from a passing clerk, I took the time to re-read the notes Airi handed me.

[When you go to get the armor, the person will make an offer with the weapon you have been missing.]

[For whatever reason, be sure to accept her offer from her. Preventing the danger you will face in the future begins with securing that weapon.]

Although we succeeded in arming ourselves as written in the first note, we still could not feel at ease.

According to her prophecy, this was ultimately just a ‘preparation’ to avoid future dangers.

For this preparation to be meaningful, it will be necessary to follow what is written in the next note.

[By the time you read this note, you will have entered the guild’s tavern. Watch the situation there for a while, and if a hero looking to save a party member comes to you, accept her offer.]

[Being with her will not only help her avoid many mortal dangers in her later adventures, but will also provide a path leading to the opportunity to get her hands on the ‘nuclear’ that Hyoseong was unable to get her hands on. It will.]

“The food you ordered has arrived!”

At that moment, the food brought by the clerk landed on the table.

I began to feel my eyebrows frowning as I took what was considered a snack among them, gradually frowning as I read the letter.

Party with a hero…….

Although warriors certainly have negative perceptions, their abilities are unrivaled, making it worth enduring their broken temper.

From the adventurer’s point of view, it can be said that it is most beneficial to work with a hero, not only in terms of compensation but also in terms of safety.

What I’m worried about is whether there’s a hero who will join a party with me, who has the nickname of Hero Slayer, and that there’s a possibility of obtaining a nuke by forming a party…….

Could it be that the hack from the guild ended up in the hands of the hero mentioned in this letter?

“Hey, over there. “Is there anyone here who would like to party with me?”

As I was pondering the contents of the letter, I heard a faint voice.

I put the letter in my hand into my arms and quickly turned my head to where the sound was coming from.

A girl in a cloak walking alone inside a noisy bar.

The appearance of light red hair tied into pigtails gave off a youthful feeling that did not fit in with rough adventurers.

But all that came back to those who encountered such a girl were fierce glares and sharp voices.

“Uh, is there anything? Excuse me… ….”

“Don’t block the road, get out of the way.”

“Hey, sorry!!”

A girl who cowers in horror at just a single word.

Despite this, even the adventurers around her could not find sympathy for her as she did not give up and talked to those around her to recruit parties.

It didn’t take long to find out why.

“Look over there. “Do-Tae-Yongsa, Do-Tae-Yongsa.”

“Wow, you came to save the party even after seeing that? “How many iron plates do you need to lay down?”

…I guess he was a hero.

He is definitely young, but his equipment looks expensive.

It wouldn’t be easy to get an outfit like that unless you received the support of a noble, but the girl’s behavior and atmosphere were on a completely different level from the warriors she had seen so far.

Usually, when they come to a bar to save a party, they don’t hesitate to use all kinds of abuse, such as arresting one or two people and beating them up, or making them carry luggage.

“Oh, that…” ….”

When I felt that question, the girl warrior’s eyes immediately turned to me.

As I happened to empty the glass in my hand, I was worried that the other person would recognize me and cause a fuss, so I quietly hid her face with a mask……. What? For a moment.

Does this guy look familiar?

“Hey, I’m talking about that… ….”

But the girl warrior did not recognize me, perhaps because her face was covered with a mask.

Afterwards, she raised her hand hidden by her cloak, hid the corner of her mouth, and asked me carefully.

“… Oh, brother?”

“Puhup!”

The moment when a violent breath burst out from under the mask.

This was the result of a case in which the throat was constricted by the current statement, and the saliva that was passing at the right time blocked the airway.

“Are you okay!?”

“… Okay, it’s okay. “Cough.”

Thanks to you, the underside of the mask is a mess, but if I take it off here, I will have to reveal my identity to this guy.

“Yeah, yeah. Because it’s okay… …. “If you have any business, please let me know.”

“Oh, yes then.”

I barely regained my composure, controlled my breathing, and looked at the girl’s face again.

Perhaps he is the hero mentioned in Airi’s prophecy who will save my life and provide an opportunity to return the core stolen by the guild.

The new warrior who confronted me when I faced Marylin.

“Well, brother… ….”

“If it’s okay, could you join my party?”

…… No. Therefore.

This is the same person as the Kahn who accused Marylin of that time?
