before the storm (2)

“Wah-ha-ha-! I like this! I like it very much!”

Harley patted her new helmet and burst into laughter with satisfaction.

<Helm of Grizzly Bear>

– A helmet made by processing the head of a beast grizzly bear by a skilled craftsman. By filling the free space with absorbent material, the effect of absorbing external shock is excellent. It is made in one piece so that tough leather can cover the shoulders and back.

In place of the broken black panther helmet, it was a specially crafted item with the head of a beast that had been set aside just before returning to the city after saving Cecily.

Since the mercenary industry was developed in Tarak, the craftsmen’s skills were good overall, so a very good product came out.

This is also the result of Hubert selling his feet, searching for a skilled craftsman and placing a quest.

As an added bonus, he bought all of the Beast Beast’s teeth accessories and returned to the form of a perfect savage warrior.

“By the way, I’m not going to sell weapons until someone who will use them comes in person. I mean, craftsmen are tough.”

If there’s one thing she hasn’t been able to find yet, the only weapon Harley will use.

When Hubert was wandering the streets of the forge, he found a fairly good weapon, and he drew a line that the craftsman who made it would not sell it unless he came to use it himself.

‘Actually, it’s about going directly, it’s not a big deal. I like it very much.’

Because of that, Harley was walking the streets of Tarak dignifiedly today.

A situation in which everyone is gossiping but can’t say anything to him and just avoid looking at him.

But the situation did not last long.

“Kek, what’s that sleazy stinkin’? I do all the disgrace of the South by myself.”

Complaints spit out as if to listen openly without reducing their voices.

Harley’s steps came to a standstill.

His gaze slowly returned to the place where the sound was heard.

‘This is another different situation.’

Even looking at this overbearing face, you say things like that.

What kind of brave man are you?

On the side of the road where Harley’s gaze was directed, three men gathered together, frowned and looking at him.

All of them had an above-average stature and broad shoulders with hard muscles embedded in them, exuding the feeling of skilled warriors.

What they had in common was that they had various tattoos all over their bodies.

They raised their voices even more without showing any reluctance to make eye contact with Harley.

“It’s like talking about being a warrior because you don’t have the qualifications.”

“What is that clumsy graffiti? Did you ever want to impersonate an engraving?”

“Are you really Southern? The twinkle eyes, too. Are you of mixed race?”

.

Since the mercenary industry was developed in Tarak, it was not strange to meet people who came from other regions.

According to the information gathered in advance, the face shape was changed to resemble the southern people as much as possible, but the locals must have felt a sense of incongruity.

‘At times like this, all you need is audacity.’

He approached them with his shoulders wide open and confident steps.

Because Harley, a manly man, doesn’t avoid the fights that come along.

“Are you insulting this body now? As a single warrior, I have no shame at all! You also look like Southern warriors, so why are you complaining about this wonderful figure?”

Naturally dismissing the suspicion of a fake Southerner and fixing the point on the question of clothing, he stood in front of the warriors and looked down on them.

Their size was by no means small, but when they stood in front of Harley, their eye level was more than half a head.

“under! People like you are making the entire Southerners a laughing stock!”

“You should wear such clothes only at traditional festivals. Don’t go around arrogantly in a place like this!”

“There is no way you can fight properly with such an ineffective outfit. You look like a clown with only muscle, seeing that there are no wounds on your body?”

Their attire consisted of plain armor covered with leather and partially metal, and that of an average mercenary.

It was a very sad reality.

‘I already knew, but I’m disappointed. It’s an era where the romance of barbarians has already disappeared.’

Despite several quarrels again and again, the difference of opinion was not narrowed.

“It doesn’t make sense! So, there is only one solution in this case? Ha ha ha!”

There was one thing that impressed me very much among the information in the south that I researched beforehand.

When there is a conflict between warriors, it is a custom to carry out each other’s arguments through bare-handed fighting.

It was a tough way to compete with pure physical strength without using weapons or auras.

“If you’re dissatisfied, don’t talk too much and prove it with your skills?”

“A palpun without a single engraving…!”

One of them sharpened his teeth at the cool provocation.

A fight broke out in an instant, centering on him and Harley as he turned over the weapon he was holding to the fellow next to him.

“I don’t mind if the three of us attack at the same time?”

“What do you think of the honor of a warrior? I alone is enough!”

“Huh? okay?”

A ferocious smile formed on Harley’s lips, and his muscles slowly swelled.

The muscles exposed naked due to the clothes, and each of their resolutions, were alive and wriggling violently.

Startle!

The southerner standing opposite shuddered without realizing it, but he didn’t back down whether he was confident in his skills.

Of course, his confidence did not last long.

puck!

“Kek.”

“next-!”

one person.

“100 million-!”

“Next!”

two people.

Kwajik!

“Ugh… you’re not a Southerner! There is not a single mark of a warrior with this level of skill!”

And till the end.

In the first place, it was impossible for them as humans to overcome this body with only their physical strength.

That fist didn’t do much damage to Harley’s hard muscles, and the difference in strength was far beyond comparison…

‘Actually, it’s not an unfair fight from the start.’

His body, which was already like a monster, was always strengthened by the natural flowing vitality, even if he did not use Auror.

‘Maybe this is a better chance than that.’

He looked down at the Southerners lying on the floor.

Unexpectedly, he had picked up real southern warriors along the way.

It was a meeting between Harley, a fake southern man, and the locals.

‘These guys, if done well, I think they’ll have something to eat…’

He immediately relaxed his expression and burst into a smirk.

“Hot hah hah! This, the brothers are pretty good too!”

“The tongue… Brother?”

“We quarreled for a while due to differences of opinion, but we met people from our hometown who share the same blood in a distant land, and this is also a bond! Isn’t this enough to be called a brother? Ha ha!”

“What kind of point is that….”

“Uh-huh!”

As he glared at the useless vomit, he slowly turned his gaze away.

“Hmm! As you may have guessed, the truth is, I’m not really from the south.”

“Then why are you so ignorant…”

“Write—!”

We had a conversation with the rude guys who kept grabbing their tails for a while to make their bodies healthy.

And I quickly took the polite people to the alley, and we were able to have a serious conversation again.

“Is there a deep reason for all this? Where should I start talking about this…”

And as a pre-work to rationalize their origins and persuade them, he slowly brushed his mouth and laid the ground rice.

“I heard that my father was a famous warrior in the South. Oh, don’t ask who it is. I’ve only heard about it so I don’t know the details. anyway···.”

A confession of the past that started unexpectedly.

The warriors looked shaky, but they had no choice but to listen quietly, not saying anything because the order had already been sorted out.

So, the love story continued.

The story begins with a fateful encounter faced by a southern warrior.

A woman from another country who had the worst first impression of each other, but the bond keeps them tied…

Misunderstanding, conflict, and reconciliation caused by differences in values.

After going through a number of events, they fall in love, crossing over the differences in their status.

But their ordeal is not over…

The daughter of a tribal chief, who liked the warrior, began to interfere with their relationship.

In the end, the warrior rejects the courtship of the chieftain’s daughter and chooses to escape in love with her fate.

A woman, who is proud of her rejection, sends them a pursuer…

After all kinds of hardships, they entrust themselves to a village in the west.

At that time, love had already come to fruition between them…

“Yeah, that’s what this body was.”

Harley finished speaking and looked around.

gulp-

“… well, how did it go?”

“Geo-hyung, don’t stop talking, let’s talk.”

At first, the men of the South, who were forced to listen to the story with a frown, were already immersed in his story.

‘It’s a story that roughly mixes clichés and puts them together. It works better than I thought.’

After all, it is a common location on Earth, and it will be an interesting story here.

There was also a development that was likely due to the fact that the southern part was an aggregation of numerous tribal unions.

“Hmmm… But the tragedy is not over. The tenacious villain, the chief’s daughter’s demonic spirit has gone that far. A family of three who dreamed of a happy life…”

Also, ‘K-Shinpa’ cannot be omitted from the story.

Harley closes her eyes and tells the story with emotion.

The chasers are tightening every minute, and the father’s tearful struggle to save his wife and children.

After repeated escaping and fighting, he succeeded in defeating all the pursuers, but in the end, the warrior suffered serious wounds and fell.

A child who knows nothing and smiles brightly in her mother’s arms.

Warrior… With trembling hands, the father hung the beast tooth ornament he was wearing around the child’s neck.

‘Without me, now you have to protect your mother. I… with that necklace, you…’

A father who collapses without being able to finish his speech, and a mother who cries.

And… the will of a warrior inherited from the child.

After that, there were no more pursuers, but it was not easy for a woman to save a child by herself.

But she was strong and proud and raised the child.

I miss my husband who passed away every night, and I make it the pleasure of life to tell the memories of that time to my children.

‘What! What kind of person was your father?’

‘He was a very nice person. He was truly a model of a warrior. What happened at one time…’

Hearing his mother’s story with his twinkling eyes, the child nurtured his dream of becoming a great warrior while holding his father’s memento, an ornament.

And… the tragedy came again.

“…I buried the ornament with my mother. I thought it was more necessary for my mother, who had loved each other all her life, and missed her father until the end. It is enough for me to simply inherit my father’s will.”

That’s why I’ve never been to the South, so I’m wearing this look…

Harley closed her eyes again as she spoke in a serious voice full of emotion.

With a brief silence, the long story came to an end.

and···.

“Ahhhh!”

“Brother . . . Brother! You are the proud son of the South!”

“cancer! As long as that will is inherited, he is already a good Southerner. The lack of knowledge is ours, instead of our father…

The warriors shed tears because they couldn’t get their minds off the spicy taste of ‘K-Shinpa’, which boasts a long history and tradition.

They barely seemed to calm down, but when they saw Harley’s face, they wept again for a long time.

‘Are you too weak? It’s difficult to keep doing this.’

“Hot hah hah! No need to worry so much! Now this body has become a great warrior!”

Harley burst out a big laugh to evoke the atmosphere, but…

“Well… you’ve grown up. He has grown up really well.”

“Cancer, what if there is no engraving? That’s enough of a great warrior already!”

The warriors looked at him with a proud smile for some reason.

Like real men, he seemed to have already forgotten that he had been beaten by him a while ago.

‘I think these people are a little too immersed.’

It was as if he saw himself as a son.

At most, young warriors who appear to be in their 30s…

“Hmmm, anyway. So you’re saying I have a lot of fantasies about the South, but I don’t really know much? I’m not ready yet, so I’m here, but I’m thinking of heading to the southern part of my heart someday.”

At his words, the southern warriors all nodded with serious faces in unison.

“Certainly, it must have been a problem because there was no one to teach me.”

“But don’t worry, brother! It’s a coincidence that we met like this, so let’s talk about the true Southern spirit!”

“Yeah, I’ll make you proud even if you see it.”

‘done. You can get a lecture from local instructors with tweezers.’

I tried to convince them by force if they didn’t believe me, but they were simpler than I thought.

Harley smiled proudly and nodded her head.

“Ah ha ha! If you do that, I’d appreciate it! Come to think of it, we didn’t even say our full name. My name is Harley!”

That way he was able to make new subordinates… No, he made friends.

Whenever I have free time, I might make it a bit easier to help Hubert, ‘Harley’s best friend’.

A friend’s friend is also a friend!

‘I’ll have to think about the meeting part with Hubert during the boy Harley’s journey.’

Hubert, who is busy preparing for business with Harley of Tarak, to Heinz, who is busy managing Heterosys on Earth.

Now, the time of each of them flows the same.

The situation of the remaining two avatars was approaching its climax.

***

Hans stayed for several months and cleaned up the lab he loved.

The high elves’ quest for this area will begin soon.

If you remove the surrounding trees in advance or cancel the summons at the right time, the search could be avoided, but there was no special preparation to avoid it.

[Kukkuk, you don’t have to do that anymore.]

However, even after the scheduled time passed, there was no sign of feeling.

Surely there must be some sign by now…

‘Is the schedule wrong? They say they are exploring other places first.’

Maybe it was because it was inside the barrier of the cave, so I couldn’t find it.

I was nervous in my own way, but my Mac was relaxed.

However.

It was a little too early to spit out such feelings.

same time.

The Great Battle of Roselia.

High elf Lafori has summoned those involved in this operation.

“I found it.”

The eyes of the members of the church grew wide.

Of course, so was Heinrich, who was sitting with him.

‘Even though I was on high alert, I didn’t feel much energy. When?’

I didn’t feel any signs, but it seems that the search was already over.

‘Isn’t it bigger than I thought?’

Looking around at the excited people, Lapori continued speaking with a firm voice.

“The western part of the continent, the forest of monsters. The energy of the Immortal King was sensed there.”

Finally, Hans’s location was discovered.
