The Paladin Owns the Relic

Chapter 162

162 – Ancient Forest (22)

Where…

Where did your identity come from?!

Bernie gritted his teeth. He immediately moved his hatchet.

Damn it, the opponent is also an axe. An ax so large that it cannot be compared to his own.

Still, the difference in mass can be overcome.

Who are you?

The Thief Queen of the Great Bandit Calvid…!

Kwakdeuk.

The air was torn.

After hitting her axe, Bunny felt her body float in the air.

Quaaa!!!!

“Keuugh?!”

For an instant, the view reversed. She rolled a few times. What’s this.

What unbelievable power…!

“What the f*ck!”

I’m tired. I had such a strong thought. A fast-flowing hand signal.

The executives accepted it immediately. Leaving the minimum number of people behind, I rushed at the paladin in front of her.

“Don’t mess with me!”

The pass team where numerous workshops gather into one. The great thief Calvid’s pride unfolded in an instant.

“No matter how you are, that is…!”

Quaaa!!

It flew in vain.

“No sh*t.”

Bunny spat out her curse words.

“That’s a bit harsh. This.”

A non-standard monster. What is this…

Similar to that black magic love…Or is it a little stronger?!

“Good luck… I’m sorry…”

Something like this happens while chasing the damn enemy.

“Two, Boss…”

“How about now…”

The thieves’ officers were rolling on the ground. Bernie gripped her hatchet hard.

“…But what…Even if you go when you go…”

Strength went into the sack he gripped tightly. A strong pride was ignited.

“You should draw at least one line on your cheek!”

Actually, it was drawn.

I played it in less than 10 seconds.

The messed up Bunny fell on his face and sniffled with only his hips raised.

“f*ck you… Why is my life like this…”

. . .

“Damn the god of the sun oh oh oh oh…”

It sadly cries. I stood in front of her

“Kalvid’s Queen of Thieves.”

“Do you still have insults left to give…?”

“Calvid is a group famous for the movements of bandits in perfect order. A group stronger than the strong. There’s a nonsense saying that if all Calvids are gathered together, you can fight against the sky above the sky, but well, there’s some truth to it, right?”

There is a reason you need a bunny.

Bas Moff said to gather a minimum number of people to go outside the Ancient Forest. One hundred people. But I couldn’t afford to pay much attention to the small scale.

We need someone to control the investigation team. If it’s a competent commander, even better.

In addition, I wonder why Calvid’s Thief Queen is here.

“You.”

I grinned at her.

“Be mine.”

“…What?”

Bunny staggered and stood up. She stared blankly at me.

“…What bullsh*t. That is?”

“What is it? It’s literally the same.”

“Now, don’t play around!”

“Is it true?”

“Uh… Ah…”

Bernie averted his gaze.

“Ah, shut your mouth…Really…I’m going to die of annoyance…”

“Well, enough of a joke.”

“Was that a joke?!”

“We are gathering the Ancient Forest investigation team, but we need a commander. If it’s Calvid’s thief queen, I’m sure she’ll take care of it.”

“An investigation team?”

Bunny’s complexion turned pale.

“At this situation…Go out there? To that notorious ancient forest?”

“Rejection is refusal.”

“Poetry, I hate it! I hate it!!!”

“Drag and go.”

“It’s Nuni!”

“How dare you beat the boss!”

“Do not touch!!!”

The executives rushed, but were immediately stopped. Tsubaki giggled and laughed.

“Take care of your boss!!”

The thieves howled.

“This, this heinous…!”

Tsubaki is kind enough to accept it.

Let’s see. Once one is done…

Shall we go get the second one?

. . .

Adriel, the black tower lord, looked at me and smiled.

“I didn’t know you would come first. An apostle of the Sun God Church. No…Should I call you the head of the scorched ashes?”

“The number of disciples has decreased.”

“Oh. Honorific How nice. The last meeting wasn’t very good, I was prepared to listen to rude words… It’s unexpectedly good news.”

“Can you do it?”

“Do you know how sad it is to be spoken to by someone so young?”

“Because I’m not old enough to know that.”

“I suddenly get curious. How old are you?”

“How old do you think you are?”

“…If you look at the strength you have, you can guess that you are in your 40s or 50s… But looking at your appearance, it seems that it is not that…”

“That’s right.”

Adriel squirted water. He coughed and coughed.

“Are you saying you have that kind of power when you’re only in your teens? Has Ra really gone?”

“Huh? Blasphemy?”

“Oh, no. I didn’t mean that. By the way…”

Adriel looked intently at Maya clinging to me.

“Hey. Any change of mind?”

Maya pulled her hand out of her pocket. She raised her middle finger.

“Pokyu.”

“…What do you mean?”

“It means go away.”

“Hey. That’s true. Wouldn’t that be a little sister?”

“You are more precious than her sister.”

“Hmm…”

Adriel pondered. Then he glanced up at me.

“The reason you came to me must mean that I needed something, right?”

“I am setting up an investigation team. Please accompany me as a staff member.”

“I know a lot, so can I take that as a sign of advice?”

“Similar.”

“What do I get?”

“Let’s forget about Eunwon.”

“There is no blade strength.”

Adriel chuckled and straightened his back.

“I’m sorry, but the assortment cannot come to the fore. It’s because of the old rules of the Mage Tower. In order for the assortment to move, there must be enough justification.”

”You were going to participate in the expedition, right?”

“I was going to do it secretly. Isn’t the danger of the Ancient Forest clear? It’s a bit difficult to move. If I go out now, it’ll be a little noisy because of my name. But… it’s different if it’s not me, but someone else.”

Someone walked out from behind Adriel. A cold-looking girl similar in size to Maya.

I was very impressed with the color of her chocolate-colored hair. Vulcan grumbled at the gaze that seemed to see through people.

“You’re a bad guy.”

“I hope you refrain from saying that. The greatest of my samples. ‘Chloe’ G. I’m giving you the next Mage Tower.”

“…Hello.”

The voice is also cold. The rather businesslike greeting did not contain a hint of emotion.

Feels like a machine itself.

Adriel gave Maya a wink.

“Of course, if you come under my command, the story will be different.”

“What do you mean?”

“What is your intention? Didn’t you say it with your own mouth? You can forget all about Eun-won and start from scratch. Do you know that I will eat for free in the seat of the Black Mage Tower? It is a law to always invest in those who are likely to become the future.”

“…You are being cunning.”

“That’s a phrase I hear often. And there are things to be gained.”

Chloe stepped forward. She met Maya’s gaze.

“Human life is limited. And that value depends on what you achieve in a short period of time. Maya. Your talents are being wasted. We will be there to help you make things right.”

“Yes.”

“Forcing is…”

“It is not compulsory. The intro required to become a proper warlock is always interesting.”

Black magic power rose from Chloe’s hand.

“I will show you. How great is black magic.”

“Excellent! You can also call me my disciple! Ruler. How about messenger of god Wouldn’t it be okay to show black magic next to you instead of forcing it? Isn’t that what happens when there’s a battle anyway?”

“You are saying that you will quietly recruit.”

“Just for show. Show. But other than that, Chloe will definitely come in handy. He’s the one who has the second most knowledge in the Black Mage Tower after me.”

Adriel grinned.

“Answer?”

“…Hmm.”

Well, it doesn’t matter if it’s not Adriel. He wished he had a good wizard in case of emergency.

“Maya.”

“Huh…?”

“Are you okay?”

“…Yes. Are you okay.”

Maya held onto me. Small sparks burned in her eyes.

“Maya doesn’t fall for things like that.”

“It remains to be seen.”

“Go away.”

“The distance required to show black magic is this effective.”

It was very cute to see Chloe clinging to Maya. Well, in the worst case, I can intervene.

I wonder if this is enough for now. The investigation team’s two tops were roughly packed…

The last step is to fill in the numbers.

. . .

“A large number of A-rank mercenaries? If so, I’ll have to pull it out.”

“What are you planning to do?”

“Exclude those with high noses. I like guys who are slightly awkward. So you’ll hear me well. And above all… I can’t die alone. If we’re going to die, let’s all die together!”

Bernie chose the mercenaries himself. They were still laughing at me, but they cooperated.

“They said there would be a separate reward. If you steal it, it will fall behind.”

“Because I’m not so conscienceless as to eat a flea’s liver.”

“…Err.”

The selected mercenaries complained. However, when Basmov’s edict was introduced, the discontent was quickly put to rest.

No matter what it is, the lord of Garnet, the most powerful city in the current situation.

The mercenaries’ dissatisfaction soon disappeared.

All that remains is to pick out the selected list once more.

“These guys are a bit different… How cool. Here again, the history is gorgeous. Aren’t they arsonists?”

“Aren’t they of the same type as you?”

“We do not touch children and women. f*ck. She has a degree of stealing.”

“Wait.”
