The knights returned and went to find William.

It was after telling the Elises to walk around the city and play.

I was pretty tired of trying to stop Elise from saying that she would follow me.

“So, are you going to go to the North now?”

William looked at me dumbfounded.

I didn’t care about his reaction, I picked up a teacup and poured tea.

oh, this is kinda yummy

It’s not particularly tasty, but it’s just plain tasty.

“Sigh… .”

William sighed.

where is the north going there

“Give me another drink.”

“Is the car over now?”

William grumbled, but poured the tea into the cup.

half a year.

During that time, I became quite close to William.

“Why are you going to the North?”

“I have something to do.”

“What are you going to do with that… .”

William was silent for a moment, then pulled out some pockets in front of me and placed them on the table.

“You prepared it. I had a lot of trouble getting this.”

“uh. Good work.”

William knocks on the table.

Then he took a deep sigh and said.

“The situation in the north is not good right now. I recommend going next time, but… You wouldn’t.”

“I know.”

“But this is real. It is very dangerous now. be careful.”

Instead of answering, he quietly smiled.

He shook his head as if he couldn’t stop.

There was a reason I wanted to go up north.

‘Because the main character was able to attack the continent there.’

northern.

An area that is also called the country of monsters.

A place that could be the home of all the monsters across the continent.

The reason why the main character made the entire continent fall into fear.

The main character uses the monsters in the north one year from now.

We are going to the North to stop it from now on.

“Is it really okay if I don’t go back?”

“Yes.”

Originally, I had planned to send Alice back to the count family.

It was very dangerous for her to go to the North because she didn’t have the ability to kill.

Almost like an act of suicide.

And since she wasn’t going to be in the north for very long, during that time, Alice could just do what she normally does at the count’s house.

However, Alice was more stubborn than she thought.

He says he will not go back and will follow me even if he dies.

Although the mindset to support me somehow is admirable.

“I may not be able to protect you.”

It was sincere.

The North was such a dangerous place that even the main character couldn’t be assured of life or death.

There were many things that took many things to bring her who had no power to such a place.

So I tried to send it back with the knights.

“I am the Bocchan’s maid.”

With that one word, I no longer told her to go.

Whatever it is, the decision is hers.

And to be honest, it’s comfortable for her to follow me.

From sleeping to eating.

It was true that she was comfortable with her presence.

“If you are… Instead, you protect your life.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

I didn’t tell her more.

Having said that, the rest is up to her.

I turned my head away from her and looked back at Mahol.

He was stroking the blade while carefully holding the daggers I had bought him in his arms.

The existing one was also damaged, and I couldn’t let him use such a crappy weapon to go to the north.

The second reason for going to the North was because of Mahol.

‘It’s an optimal place to increase strength.’

There is something called high risk high return.

It is said that the reward comes back as much as the hard work goes.

The North is dangerous enough to be dead if you do something wrong, but on the contrary, it was a very good place to grow your strength.

It was the same for me.

The monsters in the north are a place where even the knights have a hard time.

Quite a few monsters had to use Auras to make opponents possible.

It was not for nothing that there was a saying that those who survived in the north would become sword masters.

That’s because the amount of Aura usage has no choice but to increase.

Even for the knights, it was the best training place.

And in fact, Count Warrug became a sword master after living in the north for several years before becoming the head of household.

“Looks like you’re ready. Then let’s go.”

Everything is ready.

I threw away the things I didn’t need and took only the things I needed.

‘It shouldn’t be too late.’

I decided to move quickly.

Something went wrong with the main character.

The reason Raymond didn’t die and the reason he went to Count Warrug disappeared.

Then I had to return to the academy right away.

There was no reason to be there, and there was no need to continue to be there.

But the fact that he still doesn’t come to the academy means he’s plotting something on his own right now.

‘There are too many things to remember.’

If everything has been accelerated, then you shouldn’t be relaxed.

At least I can put my mind at ease when I finish my work in the north.

This isn’t the only thing to worry about.

“Is it that good?”

“Yes. I think I can do anything that fits in my hand.”

Seeing Mahol fussing around as if he had obtained a toy he wanted, he shook off his thoughts.

Yeah, what do you do when you’re thinking like this?

It hasn’t even happened yet, and you know what’s going to happen, so you just have to deal with it in advance.

‘Rather, I have an advantage.’

I have an advantage because I know the future rather than the main character who doesn’t know anything.

Although the contents may change, the big picture is still the same.

“Mahol.”

“Yes.”

“Do you know anything about the North?”

“North? Umm… .”

Mahol clutched his chin and fell into trouble.

What comes to mind as soon as you hear the word North?

“A place with the most monsters… is not it?”

“right. It is a place that can be said to be the beginning of all monsters.”

Only once in the original.

There was an explanation of what the North was like.

Monsters that were not found in the center or the south were lined up there.

“It is a very dangerous place.”

If it was the way it was, it would have been normal for no one to enter it.

Because the only people who enter the limb where life and death cannot be guaranteed are those who commit suicide because their lives are painful.

“But on the other hand, it is also the land of opportunity.”

“The land of opportunity?”

“uh.”

There are monsters that only live there.

It’s strong, but it has regenerative power comparable to that of a troll, and strength comparable to that of an ogre.

Commonly known as Raid.

The monster with a name that only appears in the game.

True to its name, it was so powerful that hunting was possible only when a number of sword experts gathered.

not a dragon Dragons have not been seen for hundreds of years, enough to be said to be extinct or hidden from human eyes.

‘Raid. The monster was hunted down and the magic world started a revolution.’

The monster that ate countless knights was caught by a man.

“Since then, the price of by-products from monsters has skyrocketed.”

The man who hunted Reid then broke down the wall and gave the by-products to his friend the wizard.

The family of the wizard who received the by-product was able to be reborn as a famous family in an instant.

That was Millennium.

A case that became famous as a by-product of raids hunted by Count Warrag.

Since then, the evaluation of monsters has also changed.

I learned that the by-products could be used as magical ingredients.

“That is where we are going.”

Of course, I’m not aiming for that by-product.

There was only one thing I would go and do.

‘egg.’

Reid’s Egg.

To the monsters, Raid is like a king.

The main character steals such a king’s egg and brings it to the center.

Of course, the angry Reid dragged all the monsters and attacked the humans.

After that, you don’t need to explain.

You might think that killing Reid is not enough.

Ironically, raids are essential in nature.

Because there is a raid, the number of monsters is coordinated.

If you don’t want a monster wave to happen, don’t kill the raid.

‘And the best way is to hatch the eggs.’

When Reid was an egg, he tried to defend it with all of himself, but when the egg hatched, that paternal love faded.

It is survival of the fittest since birth.

What I will do is hatch the egg.

After that, it doesn’t matter what the main character does.

***

There was a process to go through in order to enter the North.

It was not something you could go in and out on your own.

Nor is it illegal to sneak in.

‘If you enter without permission, it will be very annoying.’

And even if you don’t do that, soon the door to the north will open.

I’ll go through that door then.

Because you don’t have to use your real name.

You can move using a pseudonym.

“And there are things to be gained there… .”

“Yes?”

“What did you say?”

“ah. no. nothing.”

I shook my head and looked at them.

Then, he stroked the sword on his waist.

A knight’s sword given by the crown prince.

This sword is more of a decorative sword than a killing one.

It took days.

Although it was for decoration, it was a real sword, not a sword.

But that was it.

This sword, which has a great symbolic meaning, was inconvenient in many ways to use in actual combat.

Even the Knight Commander’s sword, which belonged to the famous sword, was not strong enough for my aura.

Just injecting an aura made it scream and crack.

A well-trained sword, however, would not be able to withstand the aura given by the crown prince.

‘They say craftsmen don’t blame tools, but that’s bullsh*t.’

No matter how good a craftsman is, there is a limit to a bad tool.

Of course, better tools should be used to ensure that the skill of the craftsman can come out properly.

I did.

Even the knight commander’s sword, which had been wielded with an aura from time to time, couldn’t stand my aura.

So even if it was a different sword, it wouldn’t be much different.

That’s why you can’t carry around dozens of swords.

I’m trying to get a sword from this trip to the north.

‘The protagonist’s sword.’

There was a sword that the main character got by chance when he stole Reid’s egg.

A sword said to have been made by Dwarves in the distant past, in ancient times.

It doesn’t budge from the main character’s eccentric aura, and it’s sharp enough even without using an aura.

I will take that sword.

“I look forward to it.”

It makes me feel better to think that I’m taking the sword that the main character should have.

Part of the reason why the main character became stronger could be because of that sword.

The sword that endured so I could use my aura to my heart’s content is now mine.

The main character’s power is reduced.

“You look evil.”

“Something is scary.”

“… .”

I guess my expression was too blatant.

The faces of the group sitting opposite me became strange.

“Why?”

“Oh, nothing.”

“My butt hurts a lot. Is Rayna okay?”

“Hmmm.”

They averted my gaze.

Laughter came out as we cleared our throats or worried about each other’s buttocks.

‘Come to think of it, she must be there by now.’

There is another reason why I am going to the North now.

There was someone I had to meet in the North.

A necessary existence in order to obtain a sword.

‘According to the original story, she will try to go to the North.’

To obtain materials, to improve skills, and to gain practical experience.

Beatrice headed north and achieved many achievements there.

But the funny thing is that no one in the north recognized her.

I was crazy about that, and I suddenly had something on my mind.

“Oh, did you take that?”

There were a few things that William took away.

One of them was that William was extremely agitated and said no.

In terms of value, it’s about a million gold.

“You can’t lose that. Because it is expensive.”

“Yes. All right.”

At my words, Elise holds the magic bag tightly in her arms.

Seeing her like that, I smiled and smiled.

I said it as a joke, but it’s cute to take it seriously.

‘Let’s think about it again.’

What should I do in the North?

In a city leading to the north, he meets Beatrice and forms a team, and uses her power to obtain the protagonist’s sword.

And hatch the raid egg to destroy the main character’s plan.

Hee hee hee!

It was just when I was organizing my thoughts.

The carriage suddenly comes to a sudden stop.

Well, I didn’t feel like living separately.

Do you come out of doubt?

“What is that?”

Why was a huge boulder blocking the road?
