After concluding the conversation by saying something meaningful, I asked the last question with a hint of anticipation..

"Ah, then when will this tattoo disappear??"

I shouldn't have done that..

"It really doesn't take that long for it to be permanently engraved on your body. 5 years?"

If I hadn't known, I would have kept the happiness circuit running for a while, believing it would disappear quickly..

Awesome, right? With the confident Lu Mings in front of me, I couldn't help but cringe and cry even if she was blind, so I forced a smile and said, 'I see.' I had no choice but to say. If I live in the future and believe in Jangsaengjong's 'Geumbang', I'm not a human being, damn it..

I returned to the village with Celebian, leaving behind Lummings' send-off, which made me feel like I was riding a roller coaster, and my mood rose and fell repeatedly, and I quickly got ready to go home. First of all, I got some grass and herbs to give to the horse that was tied up outside the village because it was obvious that it would poop anywhere, and threw them to the horse. The people of the Enderinia family I visited reacted with great disappointment when they heard that I was leaving..

"The fatigue from the trip probably hasn't gone away, so I should have rested a little more.."

"Since it wasn't the walk I had planned, I had a lot of things to do. She's probably worried about Asili too, so she's trying to hurry.."

I didn't forget to say that I would definitely visit with Asilier later, and the Enderinia family was very grateful and took care of everything for me, so the preparations were completed in an instant..

To be honest, I felt like if I went on any longer, my age would start to be mentioned in detail, so it was almost like I was running away, so I was a little bit pricked by my conscience, but I decided to keep quiet. This is a problem I can't handle alone.

Anyway, even though I only stayed for one day, there were quite a few people who saw me off. Thanks to this, I was able to head to the forest only after greeting everyone from the Enderinia family, Celebian and the others, several elves who had worked hard to feed and eat at the drinking party, and even the village chief Lavery..

This time too, Celebian volunteered to serve as my guide, so the route wasn't awkward. While I stopped by the World Tree's territory once more and decided on a route, there was a minor incident where I had to delay responding to each and every elf who recognized me and greeted me... Well, it's nothing compared to stabbing a bunch of thieves..

"I know it might be really pointless to ask you this, but are you sure you wouldn't mind going alone??"

I laughed as I looked at Celebian, who was laughing as if it was funny even after saying it..

"You said that winter has begun to fall down in the forest you mentioned, so there are many restrictions on movement. There is no need to go through that trouble.."

After a somewhat familiar journey, we arrived at an unnamed forest with a neat barrier in the distance and a smell of the sea that I had never smelled since coming here. Surprised by this, I turned my head and saw an endless sea stretching to my left..

The sea that I saw for the first time in another world was so blue, and the ships in the port lined up along the coast were truly magnificent. I heard that there was a sea at the southern end of the western region, but given the circumstances, that sea only meant one thing..

"Are you from the East??"

Celebian sincerely answered my obvious question after accidentally crossing the continent once again..

"That's right. Near the eastern part of the Empire and Itisel. The walls you see over there are the city of Itisel.."

As I turned my gaze to the direction he pointed to, a tall barrier at the far end in front caught my eye. Maybe he was considering the presence of people around him, but since he was still in the forest, he couldn't really tell the distance, but it seemed like it would take him less than an hour..

"Actually, it was close to the capital, sandwiched between the Empire and Itisel, but I came here because I thought there would be problems with things like passes.."

To be honest, it was a problem I hadn't even thought about, but thanks to Celebian, the hassle was reduced. If a person carrying nothing but the Margrave of Kelvast's identity card and the Ethisel adventurer's card, which are only used in the western continent, suddenly appeared in a city in the wrong country, it would have been perfect to be mistaken for illegal immigration..

When I smiled and shook his hand at the man who was considerate of me until the end, he also responded with a smile..

"Give my regards to Asilier.."

"Thanks to you, I came back easily. Next time, I will greet you more leisurely.."

Celebian nodded slightly, gave a brief wave of greeting, and disappeared into the forest. I couldn't tell if he didn't have any regrets since he would see him 'soon' anyway, or if he just didn't care, but it was a clean farewell..

"Well... now it's time to find out specifically where this is.."

Confirming that my future father-in-law, my mother-in-law, had taken care of it for me, and that my thick backpack and ax were securely tied to the saddle, I walked towards the city..

It was definitely cold here, but it was much warmer than in the northern region, so the thin ice that had formed on my shoulders and saddle began to melt in an instant. Even with the sea breeze, this is enough to make me laugh again..

We didn't encounter anyone until we left the forest. In addition, I did not encounter a single monster, which is so common that it makes me wonder if the elves may have set up appropriate waypoints to maintain prayer secrets..

As a result, the sight I saw as soon as I left the forest was a bit awkward..

"I thought it was a big place because it was a city with a port, but... this is a bit harsh.?"

The city was located so close that it could be reached in less than 30 minutes by horseback. The plain that appeared as soon as the forest ended was a bit empty, but as you got closer to the city, various carriages and pedestrians came and went on the well-paved roads..

At a glance, it was a very ordinary view of a port city, but the reality was a little different. This is because most of the people passing by on the road had distinct characteristics that could be recognized from afar..

"Why are there so many mercenaries?..."

Numerous flags, armed soldiers and carriages, merchants moving behind them..

A procession, which is commonly seen when a large mercenary group moves, was leading to the port city..

"Come to think of it, I heard that in the past, Mandeli Port was properly robbed by a surprise attack by demons. Are the effects still continuing??"

It was quite an old memory, and I was even more indifferent to it because I thought I wouldn't have to go near it for a while, but I never thought I would experience something like this. A line of mercenaries is forming outside of Itisel, so at least they are not preparing for war due to discord with neighboring countries..

Worrying about it doesn't lead to an answer, and no matter what conclusion I end up with, I still have to stop by the city, so I shake off my meaningless worries and press on..

With the thought that since I was in charge of the sea breeze, I would have to work hard on equipment maintenance today, I continued to ride the horse and was able to stand at the end of the procession on the road quite quickly. Maybe it's because I've been walking around with the elves for the past few weeks, but although it's comfortable, it feels awkward..

Perhaps because everyone was moving slowly, their eyes were focused on me as I suddenly approached them on horseback, but it was only for a moment. The only thing that interested me was that some mercenaries glanced at my equipment and horses as if they were interested, then looked away..

No one recognized me. It was only natural that they crossed the continent faster than rumored through the forest. Thanks to this, for the first time in a long time, I was able to enjoy the indifference of those around me and happily watch the procession shrinking..

As about ten minutes passed quietly like that, a person from the group of mercenaries moving in front of me slowly moved towards me. The people in between may have been peddlers following them and selling goods, but even though he was going backwards, they made sure to get out of the way and greeted him in various ways..

I don't know if he was well-connected or a member of a mercenary group, but his expression was good even after everyone said hello to him, as if he wasn't putting on a show. It was a little surprising that he felt like he was really close to me, rather than just being seen as a way to make money..

As my gaze continued, the man, who I presumed to be a mercenary, waved his hand and greeted me loudly even though he was a little distance away..

"Hello, Mr. Dok2! You have magnificent bones. Are you a mercenary??"

The man, who had ears twice as big as others and round eyes that made you wonder if he was a mixed breed from another race, was wearing fairly well-maintained equipment, unlike his oddly shabby-looking features and skinny body. He seemed to be smiling warmly, but perhaps because of his natural appearance, he seemed strangely mean and mean-spirited, and even his speech was like that, but his steps and actions showed that he had at least roughly learned manners..

It was an image that I felt like I would never forget once I saw it. It makes me wonder if he's trying to make an impression by acting like that on purpose..

"No, I'm just a passing adventurer.."

Because he approached me so quickly, there was no need for me to raise my voice. I bowed my head appropriately and answered, and he continued speaking with an exaggerated gesture to express surprise..

"It's been a while since I've seen a guy who responds so politely. It's a shame that he's not a mercenary... but there's no law that says adventurers can't become mercenaries, right? It looks like you're planning to participate in this subjugation. Wouldn't you like to use this opportunity to try some mercenary work together??"

"...What subjugation do you mean??"

No matter how distracted Ethisel is from the long war, there is a need to bring in a mercenary group to subdue him? I couldn't imagine it so I tilted his head and asked, and the man looked even more embarrassed and said,.

And when I heard that answer, I couldn't help but be even more embarrassed..

"Oh my god, where are you from on the other side of the continent? Of course it's about subjugating orcs.!"

You're an orc again? To the extent that it has to be moved at the scale of a mercenary group.?

Just as I was about to frown without realizing it, the man continued his explanation with exaggerated gestures..

"An unidentified gate was activated near the Itisel capital, and a large number of orcs from the distant western steppe came over! At first I thought what was this nonsense, but what is this? I heard the rumor and it seems to be true? It is said that the royal family directly mobilized nobles and dragon knights to carry out a large-scale subjugation! The gate was destroyed to prevent further damage, but there were so many of them that the remnants seemed to have spread out in all directions.!"

Oh, what is it? These were orcs I already knew..

Contrary to the serious man's explanation, I felt my stomach, which had been congested, relax..
