Chapter 1266
Episode 1266. Abyss is the universe.
Auria Charles, the leader of the Falcon mercenary corps, is a woman with a personality who is free to do what she wants to do and have what she wants to have.
As a child, her dream was to become a top-notch knight.
To achieve that romantic goal, she would stop at nothing.
As a result, he became a sword beginner in his twenties and a sword expert in his thirties.
However, her innate beauty held her back.
She wanted to be the best knight, but what the great nobles to whom she had to swear allegiance wanted her to be a bed attendant.
That didn’t change even after becoming a sword expert.
The title of the great aristocrat who wanted her was also relatively higher, but the essence was the same.
Tired of the men’s constant chatting, she eventually quit her job as a knight and became a mercenary.
Even after becoming a mercenary, the situation around her did not improve at all.
No, the mercenaries coveted her more intensely.
Tired of the mercenary leaders’ tenacious tricks, she created a mercenary corps herself.
That’s the Falcon Mercenary Corps.
After becoming the leader of the mercenary corps, she accepted any request as long as it made money.
It was her own revenge against the damned world.
He did not refuse to work with Crescent, an assassination organization that most mercenaries were reluctant to do.
In the process, he also became acquainted with Charles Manson, the chief member of the Crescent.
Had she been an ordinary mercenary, she would never have developed a deep relationship with the assassin and warlock Charles Manson.
However, she, who had dreamed of becoming the ‘best knight’ ever since she was a child, was in awe of Charles Manson, who had risen to the position of the strongest – even though she was a black magician who was pointed at by others.
So, I willingly gave myself to him and maintained a secret relationship.
However, Charles Manson, the warlock, is not the ideal opponent she was hoping for.
Rather, of course, the Grand Master, Count Elio Lagoa, could be said to be the perfect ideal she had hoped for.
As a result, Auria Charles’ behavior in front of Count Helio Lagoa – regardless of the assassination contract – was not like that of a mercenary leader.
“I am Auria Charles, the leader of the Falcon Mercenary Corps. I heard that two of our mercenaries were rude last night. I was drunk, so I would appreciate it if you would forgive me with a broad heart.”
For a moment, Elio’s eyes lit up.
It was because the mercenary leader was a middle-aged woman, but she was more polite than expected.
“I understand that the matter was sorted out yesterday, right?”
“Of course it is. As the leader of the mercenary corps, I wanted to apologize. And...”
Auria Charles paused for a moment.
She was curious about Count Elio Lagoa’s true intentions toward Merdef.
“I heard you asked for Merdef. If it’s to punish him...”
“It’s not a punishment, it’s an opportunity to atone for the wrongdoing.”
“Do you really want him?”
“I’ll send you back as soon as I finish the Abyss guide ten times. Are you sure the mercenaries are planning to leave the Great Forest before then?”
“Yes, there are no plans to leave Great Forest for the time being. I have to go somewhere else, because now there is nothing to earn money besides the battlefield.”
“I heard that Abyss also has a lot of deaths. Do you think it is better than the battlefield?”
“Abyss can operate safely as long as there is sufficient preparation. But on the battlefield, no matter how well prepared you are, you die.”
“aha. The Abyss was more of a safe place than a battlefield. In any case, Mer cannot yield. We need an Abyss guide.”
Elio drew a line on Merdef’s problem.
However, Auria Charles readily accepted such a forced voice.
“All right. Then, are you entering the Abyss from today?”
“I’m going to. why? Will you come in with us?”
“The purpose of our Falcon Mercenary Corps is to excavate treasure. We can accompany you if you will give us ownership of the treasure found.”
“Are you really kind when you say you won’t go with me?”
“We are trying to impress other mercenaries and adventurers. We might meet again in the Abyss.”
“Do you ever meet other mercenaries or adventurers in the Abyss?”
“Since we are driven to a relatively safe area, we often meet.”
“You mean the treasure that made the world go wild is there?”
“The mercenaries of the southern kingdoms are known to be like that.”
“The safe areas, development areas, and dangerous areas you mentioned are all pioneer areas, right?”
“That’s right. According to the wizards, it is about 10% of the Abyss, but it’s a joke. If you go to the Abyss, you will know how absurd that is.”
“You mean smaller?”
“The Abyss... is the universe. Do you think it makes sense to have colonized ten percent of the universe?”
Elio shrugged as he had never been to the Abyss.
“Yes, this is it. okay. don’t ask another question Do you know anything about Ushas Undra?”
“In the past, people called Ushas Undra the owner of the Abyss, but now a different story is coming out.”
“Another story?”
“Ushas Undra is said to be the chief of the Abyss.”
“her! The gatekeeper, not the owner?”
Elio inadvertently turned his gaze to Luna Mylus, the wisest person in the world.
“what do you think?”
“Right now, it sounds like ‘a blind man talking to an elephant’s leg’.”
Merdef was furious at her words.
“Are you blind? You, who have never been to the Abyss, know what you are saying?”
Then Luna Mylus spoke in a calm tone.
“You were the one who just said the Abyss was the universe. How do you know if Ushas Undra is the master or gatekeeper of that universe?”
“That’s...”
Merdef squeezed his head, but couldn’t think of anything to say.
When he was silent, Elio stepped out.
“Brother, this man is as wise as the gods. So be careful what you say in the future. Uselessly straining your eyes in front of this person, you know?”
Elio made a ‘pretend to pluck out an eyeball’ with his fingers.
Surprised, Merdef hurriedly lowered his eyes.
I felt like I was choking when I said anything and plucked out my eyes.
A young adventurer’s voice came to Merdef’s ears in despair.
“Is there anything known about where Ushas Undra is?”
“doesn’t exist. I heard rumors that there is a statue of Ushas Undra somewhere in the frontier area.”
“If that’s enough, there must have been a lot of people who checked it just because they were curious.”
“Looking at rumors abounding, the new statue will be in a space that is being rearranged.”
“You mean you have to be lucky?”
“That’s right.”
“okay. Then let’s go.”
Along with the horse, Elio jumped up from his seat.
Then, as if they had been waiting, Count Larva Omar and the Fabian Paladin, Baron Howard Solon, and their party rose to their feet following him.
Merdef, who had been looking around at more adventurers than he had expected, hurriedly said,
“There is a lot to prepare before that! Because if you don’t prepare thoroughly, there will be massive casualties even in pioneering areas...”
“What is there to prepare for?”
“We need a large amount of fire stones, tent food, water, and various weapons.”
“Because everything is there, take the lead.”
Merdef, who was looking around, took the lead thinking that he was going to stay outside.
But the wagon was nowhere to be seen in front of the tavern.
“Where is the wagon?”
“In my mind.”
Along with the words, Elio pushed the butt of Merdef, who was blocking his way.
“Am I joking? If you go on like this, you won’t be able to last even half a day. If you’re not just staying in the safe zone, you’re going to have to pack your supplies first!”
With Merdef screaming loudly, Elio and the others left the tavern.
