Regressor, Possessor, Reincarnator

Episode 62

There was a limit to hiding from talking to Bestla after staying with them for a month, so I eventually told them that it was the Ego Sword.

They were surprised at first too, but everyone agreed as they fluttered in the air alone.

Bestla also surprisingly allowed to reveal it without hesitation.

But the problem is that we can’t talk.

Bestla’s voice cannot be heard by anyone.

Therefore, in order to communicate, they had no choice but to rely on Allen, the only person who could talk to both of them.

“… I’ll find a way when I head to the academy, so be patient for now.”

“You really promised!”

“okay… .”

Her talkative nature made Allen so tired of being static.

Heartily.

Perhaps knowing his sincerity, he moved quickly.

I have already passed three or four small countries, and I was able to see an exotic ecosystem that I could not see in the west.

“Wow, Confucius! Is this an edible mushroom?”

“Linbell, put that down. It’s a poisonous mushroom, so wash your hands thoroughly.”

“Ah… , I see… .”

Nothing happened, except for one that almost made a mistake in the middle.

The further inland, the warmer the temperature.

Unlike Yeongji, where the spring breeze was quite cold, the weather got hotter as we headed towards the Galshudin Great Desert, and our thick clothes gradually changed.

“Brother, stay here for a few days… .”

“Do that.”

On the way to the academy, Julius had so many things to take care of, so he disappeared and returned by himself at least once every few days.

“Look at this, brother. I found a rare herb there.”

… When he returned, he always had something valuable in his hands, and he often disappeared with Anya and Byron.

The handmaiden, Reina, was natural.

Allen gave a subtle smile, not stopping his actions.

“You are lucky.”

“Yeah, I’m kind of lucky. ha ha ha!”

As his actions changed the future, he knew that there were also ‘quest rewards’ and ‘hidden pieces’ that were not recorded in the black book, so he wasn’t too impatient.

It was not enough to say that the value of the things he obtained was enormous.

‘I need to loosen up a bit.’

It was necessary to take care of myself for the time being, as I had robbed Mt. Nicaea once before.

If he takes away his reward, he will eventually lose faith in the ‘system’.

As Julius’s principle of action is directly or indirectly influenced by the ‘system’, it was difficult for him to completely trust the system.

His behavior must be within the predictable range.

So, the party went on a fairly comfortable journey through minor incidents.

So when another month has passed.

“… finally.”

“Wow! It has finally arrived! really!”

We arrived in Kairan, the city of adventure, one of the many cities that can be accessed through the great desert where the academy is located.

There are various types of magic on the continent.

From the small swamps of poison to the large Nastrond Plains, where the eternal war is waged.

The meaning of the magyeong varied, but implicitly, it was simple.

where no one can live.

Areas that cannot be explored by humans, whether artificial or natural, are largely classified as magyeong.

‘That’s why the warlocks who artificially create the magi are treated like a public figure.’

The Galshudin Great Desert was also one of the demonic sights.

It’s not just a magic sight, but a super-large magic sight that crosses the center of the continent.

A place that is treated as an achievement just by crossing it due to the barren land that never leaves a single grass and monsters that constantly appear everywhere.

“Why was the academy built in such a place?”

“It serves several purposes, but to single out a popular reason… .”

holy sword.

This is because the holy sword said to have been used by the first hero was found there.

「Then, if you can move the holy sword, why would you build a building there?」

“The holy sword was not drawn.”

Those who discovered the holy sword only at first tried to move the holy sword.

However, the holy sword did not even move as if it could not even be moved by anyone other than its owner.

“Even so, there is no need to build an academy there, right?”

“But that… , it was a good time.”

Now is the time to make such a decision, but it wasn’t then.

“Time?”

The world devastated after the Great Fall wanted a hero, and the only hero worthy of that name was a hero.

However, the hero suddenly disappeared after the Great Fall.

The holy sword, discovered just in time, had to be a symbol of hope.

“So you set up the academy? I can’t take it with me, so would you rather come here?”

One of the abilities of the Holy Sword, sanctuary, made it impossible to invade a single monster in the area, so it must have been a reasonable choice in that situation.

In addition, when it was revealed that an enormous number of ruins were sleeping in the Great Desert, a large number of people flocked to it.

adventurer.

mercenary.

merchant.

to nobles and knights.

Many people moved for their own benefit, and it was not long before the academy was established there under the plausible cause of nurturing heroes who would open a new era.

Conversely, as the city expanded, the number of areas protected by sanctuary decreased.

So they had no choice but to look elsewhere.

“Wow! Confucius! Look at this!”

This is how the city was created.

A city that is easily accessible to the desert as it is adjacent to the great desert while being minimally affected by the demonic landscape.

“There are so many artifacts!”

Kairan, the city of adventure, was one of those cities.

“… I’ve only heard of it, but it’s amazing.”

Allen and Linbell and Inelia were exploring the shopping streets of Kairan.

Julius said he had work to do, and left Byron and Anya at the inn and disappeared with only Reina.

Allen could not take his eyes off the exotic sight he had seen for the first time in his past and present life.

“Hey, did you hear the news this time? Your team’s mercenary team picked up a new relic?”

“What? In addition? What are these bastards really up to?”

Lizardmen men with lizard faces are talking.

A giant lizard, a golem that moves things, a beast with a mechanical arm, elves bargaining, and Ain from the cradle with a thick carapace.

All kinds of races walked the streets, and countless relics I had never seen filled the streets.

“What is this guy?”

Looking to the side, I saw a mercenary negotiating with a merchant.

“You don’t know this? A recently unearthed object, a water bottle that automatically refills water.”

“Is there really such a thing?”

A slightly different, soft pronunciation from the west, where the Libre Kingdom is located.

There was a clear difference between the highs and lows of intonation.

“The wizard says it collects water in the air or something… , so are you going to live or not?”

“Still, two gold coins… .”

When the mercenary showed hesitation, Allen naturally intervened.

“If you’re not going to buy that thing, can I buy it?”

When the merchant saw his outfit and Enelia sitting next to him, he immediately threw the mercenary away and bent over to Allen.

“Yes, yes, you can! I’m not saying it’s possible. Confucius.”

“Then I will buy it.”

Allen offered the gold coin without a single bargain.

The merchant accepted the gold coin with his mouth wide open.

“Gosh! thank you! Confucius!”

The mercenary frowned once more, then backed away.

Allen opened his mouth as he accepted the artifact the merchant gave him.

“Was the guide to the academy originally written like this?”

You need a guide to get to the Academy located in the Great Desert.

Allen and his party searched for the Adventurer’s Guild as soon as they entered the city, but received a reply that there is no guide that can be requested.

“Are you talking about a guide?”

Reluctantly, the party had no choice but to stay in the city.

At his words, the merchant glanced at his party and lowered his eyes again.

“Isn’t Confucius from here?”

“Then you don’t even know. There is a reason… .”

As the merchant hesitated, dragging the horse, Allen grinned and bought a few more items.

He smiled contentedly and explained to him why.

“thank you! Come again!”

“What about coming again? It’s like a pure swindler!”

Allen calmed the spirited Bestla and slowly exited the shopping street.

“It’s information that can be learned by walking around a bit!”

The reason I heard from the merchant was because I hadn’t thought of it.

‘It’s because of the sand storm… .’

Periodic sand storms strike in the Great Desert, and a harbinger was seen a few days ago.

Unless you really don’t have enough money because of that, the guides have lost their lives when the sandstorm is coming.

This was unexpected because Julius had already entered the city where the Academy was established at this time before the return.

“What are you going to do? Can’t you be late here?”

“It is.”

The entrance exam for the academy can be taken once every half year.

Missing the opportunity now meant wasting half a year of time.

“If it doesn’t work out, I will have no choice but to pay more to get it.”

A small amount of money will be broken, but it has no choice but to make it on time.

‘… You can’t know all of the future either.’

Allen reminded himself that the future written in the black book he knew was a part of the future.

When the party went back to the Adventurers’ Guild like that, Linbell asked him as if he had just remembered it.

“oh! Confucius, by the way, we are of different races, but do we all speak the same language?”

Did you realize that now?

“Why don’t you ask when there are elves?”

Well, I wasn’t in the mood to care about it back then.

Allen explained, recalling her unstable appearance.

“They are all remnants of an ancient empire.”

“An ancient empire?”

Inelia listened carefully to see if it was something she was curious about.

From the language, script, and building style we use today to the farthest to the basics of law.

Traces of ancient empires could be found in various areas of real life.

“Of course, many things have changed over time, depending on the historicity of the language.”

Words become shorter or new concepts emerge.

Words that are not used often are obsolete and sometimes have completely different meanings.

“… I’m sure Maid Laura would have educated her at this level.”

When Allen looked at her strangely, Linbell turned her head in bewilderment and pointed to one side.

“Ah, ah, that… Confucius! Look over there! What race is that?”

Allen nodded obediently to her obvious attitude, and saw a group of different races walking by.

Their appearance was unique.

No, it can be said that it is heterogeneous.

The men were draped in white cloth, with a huge scorpion’s tail protruding near their hips.

The women, on the other hand, were clad in black cloth, and two pairs of spider legs swayed through the holes in their backs.

‘Maybe that… .’

Allen remembers hearing about two races that only stay in the desert.

And their unique abilities.

『──There are two tribes in the Great Desert, one person and one person who can act as a guide.』

Decisively, the words he had read through the black book came to mind, and he acted quickly.

“Where are you going!”

I found a way to the academy.

Julius went to the slums while retracing the development he had read in the original story in his head.

Fortunately, even after several months, important parts of the original were not forgotten, so it was easy to recall.

Behind him, only Reina followed him.

“Well… , are you here?”

He looked at the old sign with a butterfly pattern on it, and made a long, sullen face.

Even if I remember the original, I wasn’t sure because it was written.

need to check It’s a quest.

When I turned on the quest window, several sub-quests appeared in front of my eyes.

[A sand storm is coming! Find your way to the academy before the entrance exam! Time limit: 13:12:55]

[Reward: Slight increase in wind attribute affinity]

[Kill Deathwim, the ruler of the desert, and prove yourself! 0/1 timeout: 172:59:02]

[Reward: 1 guaranteed B-class skill draw ticket]

[Defeat the looters, demons that haunt the traveler, and keep the peace! 0/20 timeout: 34:07:26]

[Reward: 3 Random Swordsmanship Tickets]

I had to complete the side quests for a few months because I got some decent rewards.

‘Finding a way to the academy while breaking the quest.’ It’s one stone.

Rusty hinges screamed as they pushed the wooden door and made their presence known.

Surprisingly, the inside of the bar was clean.

Contrary to the expectation that it will be full of vomit and stinky smell, it looks clean.

When I turned around, an old man at the bar was wiping the glass without even turning his head.

Julius strode forward in front of him and slumped down.

As he sat down, the bartender opened his mouth.

“Customer, what would you like to order?”

“If you have honey, give me a glass of wine, and for snacks… A grilled butterfly dipped in snake venom.”

He paused at Julius’s words and slowly opened his mouth again.

“… Sorry, but there is no such food.”

“No, you have food like that. is not it? Or, is the blue apple pie okay?”

As Julius said those words, he was quite confident.

‘Did the main character certainly do this in the original?’

In order to use Psyche, an information organization spread in the middle of the continent, there were scenes where the protagonist used it several times, so it was certain.

I forgot what he did to get this information, but it didn’t matter.

‘Isn’t it enough to just know the password anyway?’

While he was so ecstatic, the bartender gently grabbed the handle of the dagger from his waist with unfeeling eyes.

‘A butterfly soaked in snake venom means that it is a member of the same organization.’

However, there is no distinctive odor to distinguish them.

“Aren’t you going to get it soon?”

A blue apple pie is a sign that something unwanted has happened.

“You don’t even have a poison apple? Then what about the hind legs of the hillside or the buds of a dark flower field?”

Poison apples got information you shouldn’t know.

The two hind legs of the hilltop signify that the boss’s direct command came down.

‘Finally, the buds in the dark flower garden.’

He.

“I know everything, so hurry up! Or, bring your superiors!”

say that it has descended

“Aren’t you moving fast?”

His eyes looked at Julius inorganically.

No information was leaked.

The guild had all the customer information used, so it was certain.

‘Then, are you a member of the same organization?’

Nor is it

By the way, does he know the inside code?

The possibility was one of two.

Someone betrayed you, or one of your customers revealed the password.

If not… .

“Why is it so different from what I really read?”

When the bartender was about to move, his eyes met Reina’s.

“Hey, I came to buy information. Can you hear me now?”

After checking the pattern that appeared in her eyes, he opened his eyes wide and smiled kindly as if he understood the situation.

“Aha, you were the guest of ‘that’. It’s been a while, so please forgive the late reply.”

Julius smiled satisfactorily at his answer.

“It’s a pity we don’t have a password… , it’s okay. So I want to buy information… .”

“I will guide you.”

As he took them inside the bar, Julius asked curiously.

“By the way, can I leave the bar empty? Who is not stealing?”

“That is no problem. It’s already here.”

When Julius turned around again, a middle-aged man came into the bar with a casual look and sat down at the bar.

Seeing that, Julius laughed happily as if it overlapped with what he had seen in the original.

“okay? then let’s go My brother is waiting for you.”

“Come this way.”

They headed to the basement of the bar.

A white light flickered from the ceiling of the passage, illuminating the corridor.

“Why does the light keep blinking? Don’t you guys have money?”

“Haha, it’s been a while since I repaired it. We will fix it until your next visit.”

like an eyeball.
