Chapter 74. Urs (4)
10.
“who is this?”
Debo, it was a week after El Palm ordered the training that he showed that reaction.
“Who are you?”
His sudden words made his colleagues around him look at him.
It wasn’t a look of surprise.
‘Finally, Divoga.’
‘This is crazy.’
Instead, everyone looked at him with pity.
That would be the case, because all Devo did for a week was meditate while wearing the item.
‘I knew it.’
Moreover, as everyone knows, Devo was an adventurer who was farther from meditation than any other adventurer.
It was practically torture for him.
That is, it was natural for Devo to be making strange noises.
‘If it lasts a week, it’ll be a long time.’
It’s surprising that he’s talking nonsense now.
“no!”
At the gazes of his colleagues, Divo spoke fiercely.
“Someone definitely spoke to me! Someone spoke in a very small voice right in my ear!”
That what he heard was not in vain.
Miner smiled at Divo’s appearance and said.
“Do you have any evidence?”
“I said I would give you strength!”
A smirk appeared on Miner’s lips at Divo’s words about him.
Looks like he’s really crazy.
At that fact, Devo also looked more frustrated than ever.
‘f*ck!’
The voice he felt was small, but it was clearer and more powerful than any other voice.
It was not something that could be dismissed as an illusion.
In the end, there was only one answer.
“boss!”
Debo went to El Palm and explained the situation.
And the moment he heard that explanation, El Palm looked at Divo with a serious, hardened expression.
At that fact, Divo made a look of injustice.
“No, boss! It’s real! I heard a voice!”
The fact that El Palm suspected that he was crazy was hard to bear.
But El Palm did not suspect Debo.
Rather, it was the opposite.
‘Divo hears the voice.’
El Palm also experienced limitations all week long in order to hear that voice.
Of course, El Palm couldn’t help but be surprised that he heard the voices of those divine beings before himself.
Right now, El Palm could only sense something and couldn’t hear Hyperion’s voice at all.
‘No, maybe it’s natural.’
Soon El Palm was convinced.
‘Divo is Aran’s chosen successor.’
El Palm, he knew the story of Aran and Divo.
That in that desperate moment, Aran chose Divo’s life over his own.
‘Thought he was better than me.’
It’s not just because of his love for his disciples.
In other words, the qualities and talents that Divo possessed were superior to Aran, the hero of Polarm.
In that case, it would not be surprising if it were superior to El Palm.
‘There’s nothing wrong with Divo getting stronger.’
Because the one who played the most important role in this Urs hunt was not El Palmo, but Divo.
Furthermore, Divo’s role in hunting the Horntail was just as important, if not more so, than Ursus’s.
“Divo.”
Above all, El Palm was able to learn.
“How did you hear about it?”
The know-how to hear the voice of that divine being that even you cannot properly grasp.
“Oh, that’s it.”
And to such El Palm, Divo willingly spoke.
“I just heard it?”
“What did you do before?”
“Oh, I just closed my eyes and thought.”
Everyone was interested in those words.
“What were you thinking?”
“Well, that’s a bit hard to say… … .”

“Anything is fine. It can be a clue.
“No, so… what are we eating for dinner tonight?”
The answer that came out soon was met with an immediate response.
“Hey! Stop fooling around!”
“Yes. This is a critical situation. Don’t fool around, Divo.”
“If you need money, just say so. This kind of joke is a bit much.”
The reaction is to dismiss Devo as a person who talks nonsense.
Debo spoke out loud in response.
“You really were thinking about dinner, what do you want me to do?”
It’s unfair to be doubted when you tell the truth.
“Think about it! Do I look like a human being capable of higher-dimensional thoughts? Huh?”
Everyone was convinced by the explanation that came at the end of that injustice.
“Well, aside from fighting over food, I don’t know how to do anything.”
“I will admit that.”
Divo’s expression becomes even more crumpled at that sight.
At that point, Debo looked at El Palm.
“Boss, it’s true.”
He expressed his regret for not being of any help, and El Palm shook his head in response to such a remark.
“No, it’s okay. It helped me a lot.”
At those words, Devo’s expression became heavier.
Because I thought El Palm would comfort me.
But that was no comfort.
To begin with, El Palm wasn’t the kind of adventurer who could offer comfort in this situation.
That was true.
‘That’s a huge clue.’
El Palm knew the moment he heard Debo’s words.
‘There is no need to do anything special.’
Until now, El Palm had thought that in order to contact the divine, he had to repeatedly confront his own limitations.
But from what Devo heard, that wasn’t it.
It means that they will come to you just by doing nothing.
So there was no urgent need for El Palm to do anything.
Rather, it would be better to focus on your voice with a relaxed mind.
And on the tenth day after entering the Mystic Gate, El Palm said:
“Go to the second floor.”
11.
It had been ten days since the El Palm Party entered the Mystic Gate.
“The atmosphere is strange these days.”
“yes?”
The Nautilus was facing one of the most chaotic days ever.
First of all, there was an incident.
“Since that indigo grade.”
Ten days ago, an Indigo-level bounty page was posted on the bounty board.
Although we didn’t know it at the time, the information was later revealed through testimonies from those who viewed the Indigo-grade bounty page.
“The reward was a free pass to Captain Kairin’s Treasure Island?”
What it was like.
“It was El Palm who took it.”
Plus, who is the adventurer who moved in a frozen situation?
Naturally, there was a huge uproar at the time.
But the uproar soon died down.
“Nothing happened after that?”
The story ends there.
I was interested, but on the contrary, there was nothing more to say than what adventurers or the rich would say.
There was still some mess, but that was it.
But now it was different.
“But, what should I say, I feel strange today.”
“Really? I feel like something is churning inside me.”
All the pirates on board the Nautilus felt a strange sense of unease.
The pirates’ instincts, which were sensitive to sea weather, were telling.
“It’s cold. Like before a storm comes.”
Something incredible has come here.
It was just as I felt.
“Thank you for coming.”
More than 50 adventurers are now quietly and secretly aboard the Nautilus.
“no.”
“You must come.”
Oz, the commander of the Fire Knights of the Signus Knights, and Hawkeye, the commander of the Lightning Knights.
And the knights of the 6th circle including them.
That wasn’t all.
“Thank you for coming all the way from Perion, sir.”
“no.”
There were also powerful adventurers, including Fistful and Rising, who were considered the strongest warriors in Perion.
The true leaders and representatives of Maple World were gathered in one place.
“In a situation where Maple World is in crisis, it is only right that everyone step forward.”
In order to attack Ursus, an Indigo-grade Mystic Gate appeared in the Nautilus’ power room.
Of course, the determination of those who came here was incomparable to that of anyone else.
Because they were people who risked their lives to protect the peace of Maple World, not just their personal honor.
And not alone, with a heavy burden on his shoulders.
In other words, there was no need for any further preparation or determination.
Everybody said.
“Then let’s go in.”
Let’s go catch Ursus.
Captain Kairin bowed her head slightly to them, and everyone was surprised by her appearance.
“I have an apology to make.”
Even the moment they heard the following words, everyone froze.
It was none other than Captain Kairin who bowed his head and apologized?
It was a difficult thing to do as captain of the Nautilus. As a leader, you couldn’t easily bow your head even if you made a mistake.
In other words, it means that it is a big deal.
“Is there a problem?”
“We sent an expedition.”
“Exploration party?”
“Ursus, a search party that will light the way to catch him.”
Only after hearing the following words did everyone come to their senses.
“What is that!”
“Lady Kairin!”
He reacted violently.
It wasn’t just that Captain Kairin had secretly sent out a search party, it was that he was upset about it.
“Why on earth did you do that? That was pointless!”
“That’s right. It’s just wasting precious lives!”
Being angry means you are convinced that what she did didn’t mean anything.
And that was as it should be.
It was indigo grade.
A place for 7 circle adventurers!
Even if you send 50 adventurers from 6 circles, you won’t be able to see Urs’ face!
But you sent an exploration party there?
It would be fortunate if you could even get past the first floor, let alone the sixth floor.
“Why did you do this? Please discuss it with me.”
“If we had discussed it, this would have been the reaction. It wasn’t even something I had thought of right away. There was just a supporter.”
At the word applicant, everyone’s expression turned cold.
Okay, I got it.
That the applicant did not undertake this work simply for his own benefit or for fame.
That I have stepped forward for the peace of Maple World.
That’s why it was even more heartbreaking.
“That’s sad.”
Because the life of such a great adventurer was lost in vain.
“So who is that applicant?”
The only thing we can do is remember that applicant.
“It’s El Palm Party.”
“yes?”
“I beg your pardon?”
But the moment they heard this name, everyone couldn’t help but look shocked instead of calm.
Where does that name come from?
“No, I know the El Palm party is coming.”
The news that El Palm Party had appeared on the Nautilus was already well known from the commotion ten days earlier.
And the rest of them didn’t really question that fact.
“Weren’t you going with us?”
Adventurers who were as good as the El Palm Party would gladly join the Ursus Expedition.
Naturally, they also thought that El Palm Party would be waiting for them here.
But they are a search party?
Of course everyone thought so.
“Even if it’s El Palm Party, I’ll die!”
I know they’re great, but there’s no way a party of five could conquer it.
“Yes, I know. El Palm Party said that we have to go anyway. In order to reduce our sacrifices, someone else has to make a sacrifice.”
“ah.”
But after hearing the explanation that followed, no one blamed Captain Kairin or El Palm Party anymore.
Because it was the correct answer.
If five people sacrifice themselves to make a way to the sixth floor, then dozens of people will survive.
Of course, not everyone was convinced.
“Still, we don’t know. There is a possibility that El Palm Party won’t even be able to conquer the first floor.”
Because the stage was indigo grade.
“What is the current status of the portal?”
“It is activated.”
And the person who spoke those words nodded.
“It looks like it’s still on the first floor.”
The fact that the portal is activated means that those inside are still on the first floor.
In other words, it meant that there was still enough room for adventurers to enter.
That’s why.
Here everyone did the math.
‘Is it right to go in now?’
‘Would it be right to attack together with El Palm Party?’
In a sense, this is the last chance to save El Palmar.
But on the other hand, it was clearly dangerous to just go in without knowing what the situation was.
I would have gone in if it were any easier, but the weight of the lives of those here made me deeply worried.
In the midst of such deep thought, one person said:
“Let’s go in.”
Oz, the commander of the Knights of Fire, she said.
“The Order of the Signor owes a debt to the El Palm Party. We cannot tolerate that debt not being repaid.”
That was the start and everyone raised their hands.
“The same goes for Hennessy.”
“Ellinia would also gladly give her life for El Palm Party.”
“The Gold Rich of the Port of Lees said, ‘If there’s anything you need for the El Palm Party, get it on credit under your own name.’
‘Captain Kairin nodded at those words.
“thank god.”
Because I was waiting.
“Because we are all of one mind.”
To become one.
At that moment, the mood was set.
“Then let’s go!”
Ursus!
An atmosphere where everyone can get fired up to hunt a monster they’ve never seen before!
“Hey, Captain!”
And in that atmosphere, they could see.
“The portal is blocked!”
“I beg your pardon?”
“El Palm Party has moved to the second floor!”
