*** Villatown, Athanor. 548 Two weeks later. Arryn and members of his party were seen resting in the forest with a burning campfire. Arryn's party went alone without the accompaniment of the Templar Regiment's party, Arryn having confirmed that they had a schedule at a different time. "It seems like the task this time is easier than before," Vio said, looking around her occasionally. "Maybe it's because the patrol duty has been done by many adventurers, so the number of monsters in the forest is much less than before," said Arryn, taking a slow sip of the drink he was holding. In contrast to Vio and Arryn, who were sitting relaxed on the leaf mat with the burning campfire, Ivy was busy making sure that the surroundings were safe and there was no disturbance. "What are you worried about, Ivy?" asked Arryn. "I'm just anticipating if something bad comes our way," Ivy said. "That's very kind of you, Ivy," said Vio, smiling happily at Ivy's protective attitude. Ivy returned Vio's
Arryn decided to take him to the village. There, he could live a better life because there would be many people to help him. The man Arryn knows as Joe is a 23-year-old living with his sister and mother. Now, he left them in the hope of capturing Arryn. As Joe further explained, his mother fell ill and needed medicine every time. He came from a poor family, and his daily work money was only enough for food. Joe sometimes gave her herbal herbs during his mother's illness because they were cheaper. If he was getting a bonus from work, he put it aside to buy his mother's medicine. What Joe told him touched Arryn's heart. He was moved by the man's struggle. Arryn's group finally arrived at the north gate. The wall that was destroyed initially is now starting to be completed, with the village gate clearly visible. His group was the last group of adventurers to arrive. Arryn could clearly see that the group of adventurers assigned to patrol tonight were gathered in front of the north ga
*** "Isn't keeping the peace going to save the universe from destruction?" asked Arryn. Joe laughed out loud at the words he thought were dumb. The two of them do have different perceptions of each other; this is undoubtedly based on the different understandings between Arryn and Joe. However, Joe's words didn't make sense to Arryn; there was no proper correlation between destroying the world and the universe's safety. "You don't know anything at all," Joe explained. Joe suddenly restored the stopped time to run again. Vio and Ivy could walk again and seem confused by what was happening. "I hope you start preparing yourself. You never know what's really going on right now," Joe replied. He suddenly disappeared as if swallowed by a gust of wind. He left Arryn, Vio, and Ivy to report his meeting with Arryn to The Emissaries' leader, Yena. Ivy and Vio started walking towards Arryn to ask about the man's identity. Arryn smiled and said he was just a ghost who was grateful for being
*** The next day. Clark suddenly asked all the party leaders of adventurers in Villatown to gather at the village hall. The announcement was made so suddenly using several village soldiers who delivered the message. One of the village soldiers knocked on the door of Arryn's room with a loud noise. The loud sound startled Arryn, who was resting in the room. Because the intensity of the knock on the door was loud and without a break, Arryn was forced to open his eyes. With an annoyed look, he tried to scold the ignorant person who had disturbed his sleep. The wooden door opened, and Arryn immediately yelled and scolded the man. The village soldier, who knew nothing, was forced to accept Arryn's anger. He also didn't forget to tell Arryn about the sudden event planned by Clark. The village soldier didn't come empty-handed. He brought with him a scroll of letters handwritten by Clark directly to make it seem official and respectful to each chief adventurer. "The meeting details are
Arryn and his group divided up the southern part of the village. Clark divided them quickly so that all the adventurers could stand guard inside the village by evening. Not only Arryn was on guard in the south, but many groups of adventurers were also on guard there. However, the Templar Regiment wasn't with Arryn. They had been assigned to the west of the village. "How are we going to know who the main suspect is?" asked Elvan. Arryn was silent as his back leaned against the chair he was sitting on. "I don't know, but it's unlikely he'll do much when he knows many adventurers will be on guard," Arryn explained, thinking so because he thought the assassin was clever. "Then, if he doesn't come out, how will we know?" asked Elvan. "What Clark is trying to do is not only catch the killer but also guard the villagers. It would be great if we could catch the killer," replied Arryn. "But I see that he's trying to use the adventurers' abilities to guard the villagers. It would be less l
Arryn stepped into the singular dimensional portal and saw a large white space like a different dimension. Not only Arryn but Vio and Ivy also stepped inside due to their curiosity. "Where are we?" asked Ivy, looking right and left at her current spot. "This is a temporary displacement point. You could say we're in the foggy area between the dimensions of reality and illusion," replied Arryn, trying to explain this all-white place as he thought. "Use easy language," Vio pleaded. "We're in a transit point before moving on to our destination," Arryn said, Vio and Ivy nodding their heads. "But why should there be a transit point if a portal connects the two places?" Ivy asked. The young man shook his head. He didn't know the reason at all. For him, Erina was the one who knew everything about Arryn's true power. It was difficult for Arryn to talk to that woman because he didn't know how to meet Erina alone. During these few months, Arryn could only meet Erina when she visited him.
"What do you need from me?" asked Alicia. The woman tried to calm down after seeing Arryn's sudden presence in front of her face. She learned about the location of Arryn's rank-A mission from a guild employee. In her opinion, the location of Villatown was quite far from Ravengarden, and it was impossible for Arryn to travel quickly from the village to this town. Unless Arryn had the ability to move through space and place without disrupting the flow of time. But that's impossible if you think about it logically because every trip takes time. Alicia's curiosity rose, and she wanted to ask about Arryn's way back here. "At my mission location, there was a murder tragedy that was difficult to track down. There isn't a single person there who has the ability to see magic traces," Arryn replied. Alicia cleared her throat as she understood the meaning of Arryn's request for help. "So, you came here to ask me to investigate the murder?" Alicia asked. Arryn nodded slowly with a serious lo
Arryn fell silent right when Clark said so, especially calling Arryn's real name. He immediately turned his attention to the village guards behind Clark's back; they looked serious with a different look in their eyes. "What are you talking about, Clark?" asked Arryn, trying to confirm Clark's statement while clenching his right hand tightly. "We know who actually killed the villagers," Clark explained. He tried to walk towards Arryn, but Arryn reflexively reached his left hand forward. He did so for no reason; Arryn wanted to protect the people behind him. "Who is it?" asked Arryn. "You, Arryn. You're the killer of them!" said Clark, pointing harshly at the man in front of him. Arryn's eyes widened. He didn't understand why Clark would say such a thing. Not only Arryn but Vio and the others near the young man were as surprised as he was. "All the evidence found leads to you. Some say you're a high-level fugitive from the Athanor Kingdom," Clark explained. Arryn looked at each o
