“done. “What’s so important about identity?”
“yes. “At least I’m not wearing black tights.”
“Are you really going to kill me?”
The woman spoke darkly, but there was no sign of life at all.
Jeron left the room after the woman changed her clothes. Erdin, who had sneaked up on her without any sign of her presence, put his ear to her door and hit her on the buttocks when the door opened.
“lol.”
“Hehe, what hehe?”
“Did you have a good time?”
“I had a good time. “He rushed at me to kill me.”
“ah… … “You’re still alive.”
When Erdin looked truly regretful, Jeron raised his fist. Then she gets up and runs away. She was quickly caught and ate a lot of honey chestnuts, but the smile did not disappear from her face.
“But who really is that woman from earlier?”
“You rushed in to kill me?”
“Was it real?”
“uh. really. “Last night, it suddenly fell from the ceiling and suddenly tried to kill me.”
The content of provocation was excluded. Because it wasn’t a sincere provocation.
Erdin looks at the door of the room in confusion. She thought it was just a joke, but he didn’t know it was real.
“But why did you keep me alive?”
“Do you think I kill everyone?”
“I killed everyone who attacked me.”
“uh… … “I can’t refute that because it’s true.”
Jeron was at a loss for words for a moment.
Erdin asked Jeron carefully.
“You didn’t provoke him after he fell from the ceiling, right?”
“Do you think I always tease people?”
“That’s right. Unlucky for no reason… … .”
While Erdin was speaking, he was hit by honey and rolled around.
Meanwhile, a woman who had changed her clothes came out. He looked at Erdin, who was rolling around in the hallway, like he was a strange person, then walked up to Jeron and crossed his arms around her.
“Where do you cross your arms?”
“It’s embarrassing.”
“I’m going to be amazed. Hey, black jjoljjol.”
“My name is Jeanne. “Don’t call me Black Jjoljjol, call me Jeanne.”
“okay. “It’s Jeanne.”
Jeron was trying to say something, but gave up. This was because he guessed that conversation with Jeanne would not work properly.
The adage that it is easier to give up has achieved another victory.
“Let’s eat. “Buy me something delicious.”
“Where do I get my money? no. Let me be clear. “I don’t have money to buy it for you.”
“Then I’ll buy it for you.”
“… … ?”
Jeron looked blankly at Jeanne. Jeanne dragged Geron along. Erdin, who had been abandoned like that, realized belatedly that Geron had gone down to her restaurant and was mortified by her betrayal, but as Jeanne was sitting next to her and eating her porridge, she pitifully expressed her condolences.
“Good morning…” … .”
The priest who came down late after morning prayers found Jeanne and was momentarily embarrassed, but as they sat together so naturally, he sat across from her, thinking they had known each other.
“My name is Jeanne. He is 24 years old.”
As the meal was coming to an end, Jeanne introduced herself. Surprisingly, he came from a noble family from the Kingdom of Zelta in the northern continent.
He said he is currently traveling around the continent as an adventurer and that he had conquered 15 dungeons before.
Erdin and the priest only nodded because they didn’t know much about Jeanne, but Jeron sensed her true identity and doubted whether those words were true.
Jeanne noticed Jeron’s suspicion and spoke in a whisper.
“I’m sorry, but everything I said is true.”
“Then what is Chondra?”
“An alias I use when I have a side job.”
“So you were called a black cat because you wore a black jumpsuit?”
“no. “I got that nickname because I move so quickly.”
Jeron recalled the events of last night. His movements were definitely quite fast. Considering that the body is not in perfect condition, it will be faster when it is normal.
“How are you feeling?”
Jeanne blinks and looks up.
My double eyelids were long.
“oh. “Are you worried?”
“… … done. “Let’s not talk.”
“It’s gotten pretty good. Even though the inside of my body is still the same. Honestly, it’s a little difficult to eat. “I feel like I’m going to throw up every time I put it down my throat.”
“Then why didn’t you eat the soup?”
“He’s a meticulous man. “I really like that kind of man.”
When Jeron frowned and closed his mouth, Erdin giggled softly.
“It seems like Jeron has met his natural enemy.”
“Everything is God’s will.”
“… … .”
Erdin tried to talk to the priest, but couldn’t get his money back.

“So what are you going to do now?”
“what?”
“I’m asking where you are going.”
Jeron looked blankly at Jeanne. The flow of conversation was strange.
“Do you want to go together?”
“Didn’t you ask me to go with you?”
“When did I?”
“Last night.”
Jeanne laughed bitterly.
Long double eyelids move along the half-moon curved eyes.
Jeron groaned and looked at Erdin and the priest.
Apparently, this woman was unable to control herself.
Two people needed help.
“I don’t know anything.”
“Everything goes according to God’s will… … .”
Geron gave up helping the two and spoke to Jeanne.
“Do whatever you want. “But if you want to come with us, I have to promise you one thing.”
“What?”
“Give up your side job for the time being.”
“okay. “I thought you were going to ask me to wait on you every night.”
For some reason, Jeanne looked regretful.
That’s how Jeanne joined the new group. After eating, we left the village. Jeanne did not leave Geron’s side.
“It’s hot so it’s a little cold, right?”
“I’m embarrassed.”
“ha. “Let’s not talk.”
“In fact, it was good, but did you just tick it off for no reason?”
Jeanne didn’t seem to care at all what Jeron said. As she was listening to the conversation, it seemed like she was just misunderstanding and distorting things on her own.
“I just think he’s a strange person too.”
“It’s not my place to say anything… … .”
As the priest spoke with a shy expression, Erdin nodded and looked at the backs of Geron and Jeanne.
At first glance, the arms folded looked very friendly. But she was in a strange mood, perhaps because she had heard that he had tried to kill her last night.
‘Why are you moving with us?’
In fact, Erdin did not trust Jeanne. He was right about not being trustworthy.
When can I trust her just because I saw her?
Jeron didn’t say anything, so I just ignored it, but his identity was suspicious in many ways. Didn’t ask anything. He didn’t even wonder what he was doing. He just followed.
‘I asked them to do a background check just in case.’
I asked the good guys-mercenaries to investigate.
If the identity revealed by Jeanne is true, it will be found out quickly.
‘Even if it’s real, it’s still a problem.’
I was also concerned about the black jjoljjol that I heard at first glance. But she didn’t think deeply.
“it will work out somehow.”
I didn’t think anything related to Jeron would be normal. You can think about later matters later. This was something I realized while hanging out with Jeron.
* * *
A few days later, mercenaries came to investigate Jeanne.
“It was real.”
There wasn’t a single spoonful of lies mixed in.
He truly came from a noble family of the Kingdom of Zelta. He was also 24 years old. He was also a celebrity who conquered 15 dungeons. However, something strange was discovered along the way.
When you conquer a dungeon, you disappear for several months. The reason it was strange was because he suddenly disappeared near the dungeon instead of returning to his home.
There is no record of him returning home. It wasn’t even found near the house.
I don’t know what I did while I was hiding.
“thank you.”
“no. “It’s something we get paid to do.”
“But it’s a separate matter from the request.”
Erdin took out a handful of gold coins from his pocket and handed them to the mercenaries. The mercenaries became angry. Even without counting, I could guess the amount of gold coins at first glance.
‘It’s more than 20 gold!’
It was an excessive amount of effort for just investigating the background of one famous person. But I didn’t refuse. Because money is always right.
“If there is anything else you would like me to do, please let me know.”
“all right.”
Erdin parted ways with the mercenaries and returned to the inn. He was with Geron and Jeanne having a casual drink. The priest was eating snacks next to him.
“Have you been eating without me?”
“I didn’t know it would end up like this either.”
Erdin roughly understood the situation from the voice that drained Jeron’s energy.
‘It suits you strangely.’
This is the first time anyone has put Jeron in this much of a corner.
I was confused as to whether I should call it self-obsessed or strange, but it was an unfamiliar yet pleasant sight.
“So when should I go see my father?”
“I told you not to say anything crazy, right?”
This time, Jeanne burst out laughing, wondering if it was really a joke. Still, Erdin thought it was amazing that Jeanne did not die even after hearing such harsh words.
‘They look strangely suited.’
Erdin still did not trust Jeanne, but he decided to treat her with the utmost sincerity in preparation for any unexpected situation.
* * *
The boundaries of the Kingdom of Camelot became increasingly severe.
The black cat ‘Condra’ stole the royal treasure, but they couldn’t even catch its tail, let alone arrest it.
As a result, all people whose identities were uncertain were taken away and interrogated, and since everyone in Xeron’s group was sure of their identities, they crossed the border of the Kingdom of Camelot with ease.
For the Kingdom of Camelot, it was unfair and something to lament.
“I have to climb a mountain, are you okay?”
“Uh, uh… … Everything is God’s will… … .”
“Priest, would you like to try this?”
Jeanne took out the artifact bracelet and placed it on the priest’s wrist.
The priest was taken aback by Jeanne’s touch, but when he put the bracelet on, he felt his body become lighter and was surprised.
“And wear this ring too.”
“Okay, thank you.”
“I’m only borrowing it for a short time, so you have to return it?”
“of course.”
When I put the ring on my finger, a tiger energy came out of my body as if I had eaten corn x roast.
“How many artifacts are there?”
“There are exactly 54.”
“… … ?”
“You said you conquered 15 dungeons. Even if you get 5 of them in one dungeon, you have 75. “I sold what I didn’t need and kept what I needed.”
“Just give me a few.”
“Can I just think of it as a coma?”
“… … .”
Jeron thought he had said something for no reason.
From then on, I climbed the mountain steadily.
The artifact that Jeanne lent to the priest was enchanted with magic that lightens the body and magic that accelerates physical recovery.
Of course, the aftereffects were so severe that the priest could not stop groaning as he fell asleep, but he performed an amazing act of restoring his physical condition by casting holy magic on himself.
“By the way, what was the dagger you threw when we first met?”
“Blink Dagger? When you throw a dagger, it appears in blink range from a minimum of 1m to a maximum of 5m. So, when I am attacked for the first time, I tend to panic a lot.”
“that’s interesting. But why can’t I feel the mana of the artifact?”
“It’s because I’m wearing an artifact that blocks mana from flowing out.”
As Jeron and Jeanne talked and moved around, they arrived at the Kingdom of Arsene, the last kingdom before moving to the Northern Continent.
