How to Survive as a Player Chapter 183

#183

Everyone except Sehyeon stopped walking and moved their heads to find the source of the sound. Sehyun’s gaze shifted one step later.

Under everyone’s gaze, there was a torch burning through the forest through the dawn light. It was not one, but countless torches. This was followed by a rattling sound.

As I narrowed my vision, I caught a vague shape. What was visible through the long string of torches was a procession of shabby carriages. It was shabby for a top, and the scale was too large to be an individual.

“They are vagabonds.”

It was a sound that came after a long silence. It was Pen who spoke. For some reason, his fists were clenched. As soon as Sehyun’s gaze reached him, his fist was hidden behind his back.

“You can probably get a carriage to town.”

Sehyeon’s gaze moved again to the carriage passing under the mountain. There was no time to delay. There was no time to question anything.

“Ruhak.”

First, I had to contact that carriage and get information. At Sehyeon’s call, a thick arm burrowed into my waist. A dazzling sun was rising behind the huge spread black wings. The wings soon flew up, creating a strong wind.

At the time when Se-hyeon found the carriage, Lee Jae-young was holding the ring and screaming. In front of Jaeyoung Lee was a frozen lake, and behind him was a white castle covered in snow.

It was a northern region with harsh cold and snowstorms all year round.

“brother! Tongue! Oh, why did that quack give something like this to my brother? Elix! brother!”

Jaeyoung Lee’s gruff voice floated in the cold. Jaeyoung Lee, unable to overcome his temper, ended up lying down on the floor and starting to cause all kinds of trouble. He was shaking his limbs and struggling, and the sighs of the other party members who were watching Lee Jae-young deepened.

“Jaeyoung, you need to wake up.”

“Get out of here, you mackerel!”

“A croak.”

“What, you piece of shit!”

“Our Lord should have seen that. Wow, how can you be worse than me? There is no comparison to when I picked up a scythe. “You’ve surpassed Berserker?”

“What did you say just now, you chicken head?”

Jaeyoung Lee’s ax eyes turned to Basil, who was carrying a scythe on his back. Basil shrugged, and Jaeyoung Lee lay down on top of him again and started making a fuss. The only one watching silently was Rakwin, who was twice as tall as the others.

“It looks like I can’t contact Sehyun, so I guess I’ll have to move. “Is there anyone who knows the geography of this place?”

“The leader is from the northern region, but we are all from the eastern or western regions where the capital is located, so we don’t know the geography of this place.”

Basil looked up at the blizzard sky with a sigh on his face. Above Basil’s eyes, a black hand covering the sky was reflected.

A hand so large that it covered the northern region and the world was floating in the sky. It was the hand of a giant monster.

“First of all, it seems like an urgent priority to find a place to get information. “If the blizzard gets stronger like this, your vision will be blocked and you won’t be able to move.”

“There may be slums or villages nearby, so let’s start by looking around. I remember hearing that the northern region has a lot of slums. “There is a castle behind it, so there is a high probability that there is a village or slum nearby.”

Basil relaxed his shoulders and keenly explored his surroundings. All that was visible was a frozen lake and snow-covered ground.

“I heard frogs are weak to cold. Are you okay, Mr. Frog?”

“A croak.”

“They say it’s okay because I have temperature change skills.”

“Then I’m glad. Ah, let’s get moving first. That kid… “What should I do?”

Basil looked at Jaeyoung Lee, who was exhausted from his work, with a worried face. She felt like if she just left him behind, she wouldn’t have the honor to see Rod’s face when she would meet him later, and if she took him with her, she would only become a burden, and in her heart, she wanted to say, “I don’t know.”

After much deliberation, Basil finally made up his mind to take the child with him. Rod likes that guy so much.

“First of all, let’s start with that kid… .”

That was when Basil was about to say something. Rakwin, who had been standing silently until now, opened his tightly closed mouth and announced the news of someone approaching.

“come.”

Everyone’s gaze suddenly changed. Rakwin’s pot-lid-like hand moved to the ax hanging on his back. His keen gaze went to a place where the bushes were thick. Something was approaching with a crunching sound.

A certain sound announced the presence. Everyone raised their guard and peered through the bushes. The same was true for Lee Jae-young, who was hanging out.

Pout-duk-

The person who emerged through the frosty bushes was all white from head to toe. He wasn’t even alive. When eyes resembling frozen lakes passed by everyone, he smiled, revealing his neat teeth.

“You’re finally here.”

When the man who had stepped on the snow revealed himself, Basil and Rakwin’s eyes flickered for just a moment. It was because of the white wings on the man’s back.

Here, wings were a symbol of the royal family. No one except the royal family could open their wings in public view. Kwak Jeong-han, Aul, and Lee Jae-young, who did not know that, reacted calmly, but Basil and Rakwin were different.

It was said that he was a direct member of the royal family of this northern country.

“Who are you.”

Lee Jae-young jumped up from where he was lying down, got down on all fours like an animal, and asked. Lee Jae-young’s black eyes were slit and his sharp teeth came down.

Despite his ferocious appearance, the man had a gentle smile on his face and approached everyone through the snow.

“My name is Alaunus. He is also the one who has been waiting for you for a long time to receive the oracle and deliver the goddess’s weapon. Please call me As.”

Everyone saw bright smiles amidst the intensifying snowstorm. The end of the long wait was written on his face. Perhaps that’s why Lee Jae-young, who was on guard, as well as the heroes, let down their guard and faced the man.

The rising sun was gently lighting up the lakeside. In a world where unfamiliarity and unfamiliarity coexist, what greeted everyone was a bright smile.

***

As Penn said, the wagon train was met by a group of vagabonds. They were a group of people who wandered aimlessly, stopping by each village and staying for several days to survive by helping with work or finding discarded food or unusable items.

Sehyeon asked to accompany them to the village as an escort, and the old man representing the vagabonds gave his permission and was currently traveling with them in a carriage.

Slowly-

The carriage shook frequently. It was difficult to even sit still. There were many carriages in the procession. Among them, the carriage that Sehyeon rode was the one that moved at the very back.

Not only Sehyeon, but also Ruhak and the heroes had been silent as if they were lost in thought for a long time since coming here. It had to be that way.

This was because no one noticed the existence of the monster’s hand floating in the sky.

“You mean the sky? It’s a sunny day… . Haha, this old man’s eyes are so dark that he can’t see anything clearly anymore. “What’s in the sky?”

I asked other people around, but their reactions were not that different from the old man’s.

“Sky? bird… “Are you talking about this?”

“It looks like there’s nothing…” . “Is there anything there?”

No one could see the monster’s hands. Sehyeon had no choice but to stop asking questions and turn around. For now, he decided it would be better to go to town and find out.

Rattling-

“… “I’m dying.”

The clattering noise made me groan. Currently, both Sehyeon and Ruhak were feeling empty on their backs. Before encountering the wanderer, he hid his wings because he could not reveal his identity.

“Just be patient.”

Ruhak’s fingertips gently swept over Sehyun’s earlobe and reached the back of her neck. His fingertips that had been tickling the back of his head quickly fell away. It was then that a shadow suddenly appeared inside the carriage.

There was someone hanging upside down in the open entrance of the carriage. It was Pen, who was sitting on a wagon and moving around to check the terrain.

“Lord, if we keep going like this, we will reach a village in three or four days. “Based on the distance and speed, I expect it to arrive around that time.”

Penn knew the surrounding terrain so thoroughly that he could be said to be a native of the area. I didn’t miss a single odor or the location of the wind blowing. It was all thanks to the pen that I was able to avoid the monster-infested section.

“Pen, come down and sit down. “It’s dangerous because it shakes.”

“Don’t worry, Rod.”

This time too, Pen did not say he would come down. It’s already been several times. The pen that was hanging upside down disappeared again before Sehyun could say anything.

Ever since he joined the vagabonds, Fenn has been looking for things to do to push himself. No, it seemed like she wanted to kill the thought.

Eventually, the inside of the carriage was filled with rattling sounds again.

It was noon, when the sun was shining hotly on the field, when the carriage, which had been running non-stop, stopped.

As soon as the procession stopped, Sehyeon got off the carriage and stretched out as if he had been waiting. Above the nearby fields, I could see people bustling about to eat. Some people went to and from the wagon where Se-hyeon was, taking out crumbly potatoes and carrying them away.

There were many glances in Sehyeon’s direction. Most people were looking at Sehyeon’s appearance and hair.

Among the people who were glancing at each other as if watching, an old man with a cane approached Se-hyeon.
