1142 Episode 1142



Resonance died suddenly while talking.
 Naturally, Ray, Zarroost and Narus, who had been talking normally until just a few seconds ago, are surprised at the suddenness.

"What? Hey, Ray. Is this some kind of joke?"

 That's probably why Zarroost asked Ray unconsciously.
 But Zarroost, who asked, understands that the resonance is dead.
 I still asked because the situation was so unexpected.
 Of course, I see him bleeding from his mouth, and he has been stabbed all over his body with spears, half of which has been crushed by iron balls that Ray dropped from the air.
 Under these circumstances, of course I didn't take it for a long time, but I guess I didn't expect that a man who had been speaking normally until a little while ago would lose his life so easily.

"... undoubtedly dead,"

 Unlike Zaroust, who asks Ray in surprise, Narus checks to see if he is breathing, if he has a pulse, if his heart is beating... as he approaches the resonance quickly.
 Even the same adventurer would have seen the difference in the situations in which he had gone under.

"Are you sure?"

 Ray asks Narcus to confirm his death.
 But the only thing that came back from Narcus was his silent nod.

"Grull!"

 Suddenly the set screams sharply.
 Did you come to the monster because you were attracted to the smell of blood?
 The three decided to put up arms, but there was no sign of a monster approaching them.

"... Set?"

 As Ray asks, Sett's gaze was on people who had fallen a little further away.
 They're dead, they've lost a part of their body, but they're still alive, or they're just very lucky and faint.
 After seeing them and crying, Ray was confused for a moment without knowing why they were crying... the next moment I remember the assassin who fought in the laboratory.

"Self-determination poison!"

 Shout quickly and approach those who fall in the desert in a hurry.
 With Ray's words, Zaroust and Narcus would have understood why Sett had raised his voice. He soon follows Ray.
 When Ray arrived at the nearest man, he saw a man who had already died with a green liquid running out of his mouth.

"No, I'm dead!"
"It's the same here. poison for self-determination?"

 Zarroost exclaimed, and Narcus nodded in agreement and muttered Ray's words in a repetition.
 I had heard of self-determination poison from Dallidra and other guards.
 Nevertheless, it was a murmur mixed with regret for letting me use it.

"...wait a minute,"

 The groan of the injured has already disappeared, and all you can hear is the cold breeze of the desert at night.
 In the meantime, Ray's words echo around him, albeit small.
 What's going on? To Zarroost and Narcus, Ray turns his eyes to the village... Resonance says he turns his eyes to the village artifacts.
 As soon as those who came out to attack them admitted defeat in this way, they took self-determination poison and chose to die themselves.
 And as Ray's eyes lie in the village of assassins, it is natural that there are people other than those who are in action like this... women and children and old people.
 But what happens to the assassins, who are said to be the power of this village, when they die?
 As Ray turns his eyes to the village, Zaroust and Narcus crumpled their faces, wondering if they had come to the same as Ray.
 Small as it may be, it's the size of the village.
 And if you count the number of people who fought against us, it's fair to say that there are quite a few in the village.
 When they realized what had happened to them, they rushed towards the village.

"Set! Watch out for monsters!"
"Gruly!"

 As he runs into the village, Ray cries out, "I understand."
 If any monster comes along, Ray follows Zarroost and Narus, who had been running earlier, determined that Seto would have no worries.
 They catch up with each other in a blink of an eye, and Ray, who has overtaken them, enters the village.
 With all that fighting taking place outside the village, it is natural that there are no people outside the house.
 Still, if there was anyone there, I could have peeped through a gap in the house, and with a bad feeling, I violently opened the door of the house nearby.
 I couldn't have found anything like a key, and I was in the open house without thinking...

"Oh, my God,"

 Ray's mouth leaks a bitter murmur.
 Inside the house, two elderly men and women were lying with green liquid and blood pouring from their mouths.
 the same cause of death as those who have seen
 ...the only salvation was the happy smile on the faces of the two old men.

"Ray!"

 Ray shakes his head silently to Zarroost and Narcus, who come into the house screaming.
 Seeing Ray's behavior, and seeing two old men lying in the house, could predict the horrors of the village.
 Still, the three of them look around the village in case something happens.
 For a moment, the idea that there might still be someone who could fight as an assassin passed through the minds of Zarroost and Narcus, but now they decided that it would be better to check whether the villagers were alive or dead before that, and they began to act individually with some risk in mind.
 What the Rays, who acted separately, saw... that no one was alive in any house.
 old people and children
 Some babies thought they had just been born, all of which had been killed by green liquid and blood flowing from their mouths.

"...not at all right.

 After a brief tour of the village, Zarroost and Narcus meet near the center and nod back painfully to Ray's words.
 This is not the first time I've seen a person die, and I've had many experiences.
 But... still, it is no pleasure to see people as nearly helpless as old people and children.
 That's why he looked painless.

"Why did you do this... needless to say?"

 When Ray asks them to blow away the atmosphere, they nod back without hesitation.
 Resonance's family of blood and tiller trees can be used to create drugs that make you feel less pain-free drug.
 I don't know how to make it, but it won't be difficult to make it if you assume you can make it.
 At least it's definitely much easier than starting from scratch in an unfamiliar situation.
 But... it takes the blood of Resonance's family to make the drug, and if it were to be made in earnest, Resonance's family would turn into livestock to milk the blood.
 Worried about it, Ray predicted that he would have taken his life now when he had dignity, and Zarroost and Narcus agreed.

"As I say, Mr. Dalidra would certainly try to make medicine if he knew about it." and this case has caused me a great deal of damage."

 Zarroost nods to the words of Narcus, who knows that his employer is tolerant of his men but does not hesitate to seek profit.
 Having lived in Ghosh, Zarroost knows very well what kind of personality Dhalidra has.
 In the first place, he tried to get the bandits to attack Zarroost and Auguste for his own benefit.

(Well, as a result, Ray robbed me of my sandboat.)

 But it was only because of Ray's presence.
 Had it not been for Ray, we would have been wiped out... no matter how well it went, we would have been badly damaged.
 Many of the moats pulling the cab would have died, and the baggage they had loaded would have been certainly sacrificed.
 And there is a possibility that even August's life, which the bandits would have been ordered to do, had been lost.

"Just..."

 Zarroost, who was thinking about Dhalidra, recovered to Narcus's words.

"Just?"
"No, now that we have found this place, it will certainly be of great benefit to Gorsuch, right?"

 Speaking of which, Zarroost and Ray look around, saying...
 Everyone, including Ray, has confirmed that there is an oasis here, albeit small.
 There are many dead bodies in the house now, but once the bodies have been cleared away, they could be used as a house.
 In other words, Gorsuch got another village for nothing.
 Of course there is no problem.
 For example, it used to be bounded by artifacts so that the people around it could not see it, but the boundaries were also cut by Ray's death-size blow, and the artifacts were broken.In other words, to use the village, you have to do something about monsters and anti-thieves.
 Small as it may be, a village is a village.
 It will take a lot of money to manage the village.

"Oh, why don't we experiment with the Tilla tree here?"

 Suddenly Narcus frowned faintly at what Ray said.
 We already know that when more than a certain number of tillas gather, they attack people for food.
 If so, Narus's true intention was that he would not want to live in such a dangerous place.
 It was, however, that Narcus was escorted by Dallidra, who had a nervous personality and did not expect him to come to the place to experiment with the Tilla tree.

(And there are other dangers to the Tilla tree. Drugs... we'll have to do something about this.)

 I recall a conversation I had with Ray and Zarroost just now.
 As an employee, I have no choice but to report to Daridra about drugs that prevent pain.
 Then Dallidra will naturally begin to study the medicine for the Tilla tree.
 It's not that you don't know if you can or can't, but it's a certain drug.
 The problem, however, is probably the reason.
 When it came to looking for something to replace Resonance's family blood, it was of course human blood that was also tested first.
 It's strange that only a particular family's blood is used, but it's safe to use at least the blood of those around it.

(If I were to do such an experiment here... if I didn't do it well, it would be undead.)

 The village was originally home to a family of assassins, and it is safe to see the undead.
 With that in mind, I didn't want to do such an experiment here.

"I don't want this place to be like that, if possible." There's an oasis, and we'd be very pleased if it could be a place for Gorsuch to fly-by-night.
"...I understand what Narus is saying, but the question is whether Daridra will agree to it. To be honest, I think it will be difficult."

 Zarroost's words are convincing because of his longtime antagonism with Dallidra.

"But if you say it's small, you've got a whole village, so why don't you leave it to Liubrand? ... Daridra's going to interfere."

 Ray said he wouldn't leave it to Daridra until then, but what returned was the sight of Zarroost and Narcus shaking their heads together.
 Ray looks at them with a little sympathy.
 He said it was sad that the lord of his town was not competent.
 ...but objectively, Liubrand is not competent or incompetent.
 On the contrary, it is true that Gorsuch has developed more than before thanks to Dharidra's extensive listening.

"Well, it's no use staying here forever, is it?" Why don't we go back now? ... It's impossible for us to burn all the bodies by ourselves ... but it's annoying, isn't it? Then you'd better get someone to do it for you know.

 If you leave it as it is, it is likely to be undead.
 I'd have to dispose of it early so that it wouldn't happen, but... it's a village dead body, if it were small.
 There was no doubt that it would take a lot of time for the three of us.
 Even though these three are more capable than ordinary people, it is not a few of them who are more capable, but more people who are needed for this kind of work.
 Ray told me that it would be troublesome if monsters attacked him, so Ray, who could get to Gorsuch as soon as possible, would ride a set and wait here for Zarroost and Narcus.
