380.
Dobella.
It is the only city with lush vegetation in Elehem, where most of the country is desert.
Although it should have been the most developed city in Elehem, Dobella was one of the most underdeveloped areas in the country.
This was because of Dobela’s geographical location.
No matter how lush the vegetation was, if the vegetation was from the forest of monsters, it was not a blessing but a curse.
Monsters attack one after another in a forest with infinite vitality.
If the monster’s attack was not stopped, it could spread into a crisis not only for Dobella but also for the country itself.
The central government of Elehem continued to provide financial aid to protect the defense line called Dobela.
But that was all the support from the central government.
The Elehem royal family does not care even if the entire country falls into ruin.
From their perspective, Dobella was nothing more than a miserable complex, and they only provided financial aid to keep Dobella from collapsing at minimal cost.
No further management was done.
Dobella naturally saw a constant stream of mercenaries.
The lives of mercenaries engaged in life-threatening battles with monsters were characterized by a strong sense of greed.
Due to such mercenaries, the security of the neglected city naturally declined.
Even in Elehem, which was at a dead end, Dobela’s situation could be said to be even more serious.
Meanwhile, outside the walls of Dobela.
Uzijijijik! thud-!
The huge tree fell.
Gwaoooooo!
“Oh, ogre?!”
The mercenaries screamed in shock at the appearance of a group of ogres, high-level monsters.
The monster at the top of the food chain in the Forest of Monsters is Ttol.
The fact that trolls are also scary monsters remains the same, but they are monsters that can be easily defeated by skilled mercenaries.
However, ogres are fundamentally different monsters from trolls.
It is so tough that it cannot even pierce skin with an ordinary steel sword, and its strength is strong enough to easily throw a huge rock.
Overwhelming durability and strength.
It was like a nightmare for ordinary mercenaries.
The appearance of a monster that did not originally exist in the Monster Forest caused many mercenaries to panic and retreat.
Jeopuk-
“Everyone was acting so proud that people would only believe in themselves.”
A girl sighed and stepped in front of the ogres among the mercenaries running away.
A beautiful girl, different from the mercenaries who had gone through many hardships, drew her sword.
Hwareuk-!
Flames erupted from her body.
Woe!
An ogre that was charging towards the girl, Martina, was cut to pieces by a flame auror.
Kuung-!
The ogre was cut in half and fell dead.
“Oooooh!”
The mercenaries who saw this let out exclamations of exclamation.
Then a golden flash flashed.
Kwakagagak-!
The blonde girl, who ran between the ogres at incredible speed, landed on the ground and spun around.
“Ooooooooo!”
The mercenaries’ cheers grew louder.
But the cheers of the mercenaries did not last long.
“Both are pretty good.”
Celia, the girl holding the rapier, smiled and approached the ogres.
Celia elegantly brushed her hair and adjusted her rapier.
widely-!
“Shall I finish it?”
Grumble-!
A high-temperature flame that could not be compared to Martina’s flickered in her body.
The mercenaries let out a scream at the appearance of one of the strongest players in the Lumerun 2nd year knight department.
“Lady Celia!”
“Please don’t come forward!”
“Aaaah! “It is a disaster that turns everything into ashes!”
Celia’s face crumpled as she looked at the mercenaries making a fuss.
“Senior Celia, there is no need to step forward. Martina. “You too.”
Gooooo-!
A golden aura enveloped Aina’s body.
“here is… … “I am enough on my own.”
Sigh-!
Aina’s feet dug into the ground.
He bent his knees and charged towards the ogre at an invisible speed.
As Aina’s sword flashed, the ogres’ heads were blown off.

“Well, as expected, the lineage of the Sword Saint is different.”
“At such a young age, he cut off the heads of ogres like he was cutting off tofu.”
“It’s scarier than a monster.”
Celia narrowed her eyes as she looked at the whispering mercenaries.
In just one day, Aina was recognized as a feared figure among mercenaries.
That’s not simply because she defeated monsters with overwhelming power.
Gerdinger’s Flame is a much more suitable power for dealing with multiple enemies.
If you look at the number of monsters defeated, Celia is higher.
However, Aina was an object of fear because she always radiated life force from her body.
I don’t care if there’s blood on my body.
Even though she was a candidate for hero, the sight of a young girl, covered in blood and out of place, beheading a monster like a butcher was enough to give me the creeps.
Aina, who annihilated the ogre group in an instant, brushed off the blood on her sword and sheathed it.
Turp-plop-
Celia sighed as she saw Aina approaching, covered in blood.
The mercenaries secretly avoided looking at Aina.
“Aina, you are too impatient.”
“… … .”
“Why on earth is that like that? “You are the best among first graders.”
“It has no value unless it is recognized by senior Leo.”
Although the reason is unknown, Celia also knows that Aina is obsessed with being recognized by Leo more than necessary.
‘I need to consult with Leo.’
It was time for Celia to sigh.
“Ladies! thank you!”
A person who appeared to be a mercenary leader approached with a big smile.
“Thanks to the ladies, our mercenary group received a month’s worth of pay in one day.”
“Oh, yes.”
Celia came to Dobella with her mentees, Aina and Martina, to explore the forest of monsters.
And Celia found a mercenary group that had been active in Dobella for a long time and had a good reputation, and signed a contract.
Since he had been active in Dobella for a long time, he had a system of his own and was familiar with the geography of the Monster Forest, so the search was helpful.
The reward was the corpse of a defeated monster.
Dobella’s mercenaries receive compensation based on the corpses they defeat.
That’s why the mercenaries screamed when Celia tried to step forward.
Celia’s flame completely burned the monster, so the corpse could not be obtained.
Since they could make money just by guiding the hero candidates with overwhelming strength, the mercenary group welcomed the three men enthusiastically.
“You mean you saw the ogre for the first time today?”
“That’s right! I worked as a mercenary in Dobella for 5 years! “This is my first time seeing an ogre!”
‘also. It’s clear that something is wrong.’
That was when Celia narrowed her eyes.
Kugugugugugugugugugung-!
The earth began to shake.
“W-what is it?”
“Monsters are moving on a large scale.”
Celia, who sharpened her senses, spoke.
“The money is flowing in!”
The mercenary leader smiled broadly.
“well. “I don’t think so.”
“yes?”
It was a time when the mercenary leader was embarrassed.
Woe!
“Hello, Celia.”
“joy. “Is it Celia?”
Abad and Duran appeared through the grass.
Behind them were their two mentees, Fritz and Harveyden, and a mercenary group.
“oh! Senior Celia. “You were here?”
A first-year summoner, Top, and Shasha appeared in the air, riding a top phantom beast in the form of a giant eagle.
Next to her, her mentor, Wareden, stood with his arms crossed.
Abad and Duran had the same idea as Celia and hired a mercenary group.
Then, while looking for a good place to subdue a group of monsters, he came to Celia’s direction.
Celia pouted her lips.
Unlike himself, who has a fire attribute, other allies can fight as much as they want because they can leave behind monster corpses.
“It’s another opportunity to earn money.”
Celia calmly spoke to the mercenary leader.
Then the mercenary leader showed a serious expression.
“It’s Lady Celia’s turn to step forward!”
“yes?”
“Rules among mercenaries. No matter how many times you catch a game together, the one who finds it first gets the reward. Even if we help, in the end not a single penny will fall to us. However, if you avoid a fight, you will only get criticized.”
“So.”
“If you can’t have it, you have to burn it!”
“… … .”
In the end, it was said that he would rather burn everything than work hard to do good things for others.
Celia sighed and adjusted her sword.
“Please burn everything!”
Celia shook her head at the shout heard from behind.
***
That evening.
Celia sat in a tavern in the center of Dobella.
Sitting in front of him were Abad, Duran, and Warrenden, whom he had encountered in the Forest of Monsters during the day.
“so.”
Duran crossed his arms and made a crooked expression.
“Why did you call us here, Wareden Tyden?”
The person who hosted this meeting was none other than Warrenden.
“This is because we felt the need to exchange information.”
“joy. It’s a big deal. “I can’t believe you’re asking for cooperation.”
“Because this mission training is not a competition.”
Abad said with a grin.
“Does feeling the need for cooperation mean that you discovered something unusual?”
In response to Celia’s question, Warrenden took out a dark red bead from his pocket.
Abad saw that and stroked his chin.
“It’s the golem’s core.”
“Today, there was a golem wandering around the monster forest. This is something obtained after processing that. Abad Lwalin. “Can you tell which era it belongs to?”
Abad nodded at Wareden’s words and stretched out his hand to the magic core.
Meanwhile, Warrenden looked at Celia and Duran and said.
“I scouted the skies above the Forest of Monsters with my mentee all day today.”
Warrenden did not hire a separate mercenary group but moved independently with Shasha.
Hearing those words, Celia tilted her head.
“Wasn’t there an abnormal air current flowing in the sky above Monster Forest, making it difficult to approach by flying? “I believe they gave up on that butter, saying it was too cumbersome.”
“Spiritualists and wizards are fundamentally different. “If a wind wizard can control the surrounding atmosphere, an elementalist can control the surrounding atmosphere.”
“So, what do you want to say?”
“As soon as I scouted the forest of monsters, I found out that something unusual had occurred in the forest. Many monsters that did not exist in the Forest of Monsters appeared. “I’m sure you all know this.”
“okay.”
“And all of those monsters showed the characteristics of monsters from the southern part of the continent.”
Even though they are the same ogre, ogres in the northern region and ogres in the southern region show different characteristics.
“You mean the world of southern heroes?”
Celia tilted her head and Wareden narrowed his eyes.
“It’s not just that.”
“Then what?”
“Each of the monsters that appeared had characteristics of a different era.”
Monsters are intelligent monsters.
Among them, there are also monsters with high intelligence.
Each has its own culture, and that culture is revealed through the monster’s armed status.
Therefore, the armament status of monsters varied subtly depending on the era.
Monsters with various characteristics appear in one place.
That meant only one thing.
“Are you saying there might not be one hero dungeon?”
It was when Warrendon nodded his head at Duran’s words.
“I found out what era this golem’s core is from.”
At that time, Abad spoke with a confused look on his face.
“What era is it from?”
“When analyzing the basic techniques that make up the core, it is from before the Age of Heroes.”
“what?!”
Everyone’s eyes widened at Abad’s words.
“Are you saying it’s something from the Age of Disaster?”
Celia asked urgently.
“The Age of Calamity thing is true. However, I cannot guarantee that this core came from an era 5,000 years ago.”
“What is that… … .”
“The driving technique that drives the magic power of this core is 3,000 years old. I’ve never seen or heard anything like this. “I’ll have to find out more details, but it’s a major discovery that could turn the magic world upside down.”
***
Woe!
With a bright light, the girl fell into her seat.
The heart of Dragonia.
The girl urgently looked around to understand the situation.
Then, I found the phrase [Strategy Failed] right in front of me and laughed helplessly.
“… … “It’s here.”
The girl, Rodia, nodded and stood up.
I knew exactly where this was.
Childhood days.
This is probably the first page of your hero record.
The day I first confirmed the infinite potential of Hero Records.
Rodia reached out and reached for the undivided, intact Hero Record.
The page of Lisinas, the king of great wisdom, was opened.
The heroic story of Lysinas, Rodia’s favorite.
That’s why I tried to attack this page several times.
However, this was a page that I could not attack in the end.
Rhodia knows why.
This is because of only one person’s deacon.
“Kyle. “Isn’t it only he who can conquer this world?”
