Episode 117
117. Elf’s Reward
Ryumin did not disfigure his face.
The black scythe, just like its appearance, stunned the traitors.
‘These guys are dead anyway. Even if I don’t kill him.’
Elves are colder than you think.
In particular, there is no mercy for the assassin who targeted the princess.
This is why Ryu Min did not hide his identity.
After all, you will be the only traitor who survives.
Tuk-tuk-
I touched the unconscious guys with my feet.
One had his wrists cut and the other two were intact.
‘You definitely fainted.’
He struck the nape of the neck with a hand blade with a force of 464.
You can’t suddenly stand up and expose Black Scythe as a traitor.
Jumble-jump-
As Yugrito approached, Ryumin raised his head.
“… … .”
He didn’t look at Ryu Min and ask who he was.
First of all, it was necessary to calmly check the situation.
Yugrito’s gaze moved to the new knight nearby.
“Jerif.”
“yes!”
“Did you see what was going on?”
“yes! Four warriors from another world suddenly attack… … No, they raided the carriage the young lady was riding in. “One of them died from the gravity spell, and as you can see, the three of them fainted after being hit by this person.”
“What about the princess? “Are you okay?”
“ball… … No, the lady is safe… … .”
“There is no need to hide it. “The identity has already been revealed.”
“Ah, yep! The princess is safe. “He is so shocked right now that he is resting in the carriage.”
“So what you’re saying is that the warrior from this world saved the princess?”
“That’s right. “If this person hadn’t stepped forward in time, the princess would have been in big trouble.”
At those words, Yugrito bowed his head to Ryumin without hesitation.
There is no way a rookie could lie, so it was proven that the person in front of him was a benefactor.
“Thank you for saving our princess. “If you don’t mind, how can I know the name of my benefactor?”
Ryu Min was considering using the title, but decided against it.
There would be no traitors standing around, and there was no need to hide their names like the dwarven merchants did before.
“It’s a black scythe.”
“Black scythe… … .”
Yugrito was not offended even when he spoke informally.
Instead, he recited it as if he was remembering it and then lowered his head again.
“Thank you again, Black Scythe. Sorry, but could you explain the situation? “I don’t understand why the warriors of this world targeted the princess.”
Ryumin nodded and explained briefly.
The werewolves’ attack was coming to an end anyway, and now was more important than hunting.
Because it was an opportunity to strengthen relationships with the elves.
Yugrito’s eyes widened as he quietly listened to the explanation.
“betrayer? Are you saying that there are traitors even among the warriors of this world?”
“yes.”
“Could it be that you have joined hands with the demon archduke Plunictos?”
‘What is the devil? He joined hands with an angel.’
Ryumin gave a vague answer.
“I don’t know that much, but I think there are complicated interests involved.”
“iced coffee… … “Then do you want to secure new recruits for these people?”
“no. “Because they have nothing to do with me.”
“Then can we handle the interest according to our laws?”
“as you please.”
Yugrito looked down at the traitors and raised his sword.
Creep – Creep – Creep!
He struck it three times, separating its head from its body.
Ryumin looked at Yugrito in surprise and answered without even asking.
“Because those who target the princess are executed immediately.”
They could have interrogated him without killing him, but they killed him without mercy.
‘It’s elf law that you can’t trust what comes out of an assassin’s mouth.’
The elf law is so scary.
Just something I already knew.
“Black Scythe. “Thank you so much for saving the princess.”
‘How many times do I say thank you? ‘Please give me compensation quickly.’
I’m sure I’m grateful that much, but if I’m that grateful, shouldn’t I show my sincerity?
I was worried that I would not receive compensation, but my fears would not happen.

For the elves, saving the princess was like a favor that they would have to repay for the rest of their lives.
“Kkeaaaeng!”
The situation came to an end when the one remaining werewolf died.
“Phew, I killed them all… … .”
“Look over there. “The black scythe is talking to the elf.”
The players who had prevented the attack later began to keep an eye on Ryumin, who was talking to the elf.
“I see? But aren’t the corpses over there players?”
“What happened?”
“Could it be that the elf killed him?”
“that’s right. I saw it earlier! “That elf suddenly cut off his neck like this with his sword!”
Yugrito looked at that and sighed softly.
“Whew, if I keep quiet about this, misunderstandings will only grow. Now that things have come to this, can I explain the situation?”
“As you wish.”
As soon as Ryumin’s permission was given, Yugrito stepped forward.
“Warriors of this world. “I’m sure many of you are wondering what happened now.”
His voice was transmitted to the players’ ears through the wind spirit.
“First, let me formally introduce you. My name is Yugrito, the knight commander of Elsorium. And these people here are not merchants or coachmen, but knights of Elsorium.”
When it was revealed that it was not a merchant, the players began to murmur.
“We were not moving to transport goods. The status of a merchant was just a smokescreen to protect the princess. I’m sorry for deceiving you just for a moment. “I cannot tell you the details, but I am telling the truth, so please understand.”
The elves did not want to harm their relationship with humans.
That was the reason why the knight commander himself revealed the misunderstanding.
‘There is no way to know whether it is a created setting of this world or a real setting.’
Yugrito continued speaking.
“Unfortunately, there was a group that took advantage of the monster attack to target our princess. The dead people here are the assassins. According to Black Scythe here, he is a traitor.”
“betrayer?”
“uh? “The number of traitors has really decreased!”
Looking at the personnel status, the number of traitors was reduced to one.
I never thought that the only traitor would be Ryu Min.
“I will not ask why there are traitors among you. Judging by your reaction, it seems like you too are confused. Anyway, if it weren’t for Black Scythe, our princess might not have been safe. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Black Scythe once again.”
‘No, stop thanking me.’
The words he wanted finally came out of Yugrito’s mouth as he bowed his head to Ryumin.
“Black Scythe. “I have a gift for you.”
Yugrito held out something from his arms.
A smile finally appeared on Ryumin’s face as he accepted it quickly.
[I received ‘Elixir of Super Regeneration’ as a reward from Elsorium Knight Commander Yugrito.]
[Elixir of Super Regeneration]
– Category: Consumables
-Grade: Legendary
-Effect: Body regeneration for 10 seconds
– Restrictions on use: Master level or higher
-Description: Even if the body is torn for 10 seconds, it regenerates instantly. However, we are not responsible for mental breakdown due to pain.
‘I finally got it. Elixir of super regeneration.’
As you can see from the description, it is an elixir that makes you virtually invincible for 10 seconds.
‘If you use it well and at the right time, you can come back to life even if you die dozens of times.’
It’s literally an increase in life.
Since it is an item that must be used in round 15, I put it in Goi’s inventory.
“I can’t believe you give me something so precious. “Thank you.”
“Is there anything in the world more precious than a princess’s life? “It is as if we, the elves, have received a favor from the Black Scythe that we will never be able to repay.”
[The elf’s reputation for the Black Scythe has increased from ‘neutral’ to ‘friendly’.]
Ryu Min smiled as he saw the reputation change message that just popped up.
“Anyway, thank you.”
“We should say thank you.”
At that time, a new driver waiting in front of the carriage approached Yugrito.
“Jerif. “How is your condition, princess?”
“You were surprised, but you have improved a lot. “Anyway, I explained the situation to the princess, and she wanted to say hello to her benefactor in person.”
“Princess? I get it. Black Scythe. Come this way.”
As Eugrito and the carriage approached, Eufinelcia got out of the carriage as if she had been waiting.
However, as soon as I got off, a violent reaction erupted from those around me.
“omg!”
“Wow, shit.”
“what… … .”
It was none other than a beauty that would make an angel go away.
“hello. A warrior from another world. “It’s called Eufinelsia of Elsorium.”
“Call me Black Scythe.”
Ryumin also spoke informally to the princess.
Despite this, the elves, including the princess, were not offended at all.
‘As long as your reputation has already changed to a favorable one, it doesn’t matter what you do.’
As long as you don’t betray, you can live your whole life being treated by elves.
“I heard you saved me. I really don’t know how to repay this favor… … .”
“You don’t have to pay it back. “I just did what I had to do.”
Elves like the words ‘reason and law’.
The reason Ryu Min intentionally said this was to build goodwill.
‘If you give a good impression to the elves who are strict with the rules, it will be helpful in many ways.’
Sure enough, the way Yugrito and the knights looked at Ryumin changed slightly.
Although he may be a lifelong benefactor, humans are only humans.
However, with his current remarks, the boundaries drawn between people as humans have become a little lighter.
‘You can gradually increase your friendliness from here. It’s especially great if you build goodwill with the princess.’
It wouldn’t be difficult since I knew what the elf princess liked.
“I hope the princess stays inside. I will be guarding the outside of the carriage. Even if it means giving up your life.”
“Ah, ah, go, thank you.”
Instead of feeling burdened by the words that she would sacrifice her life to protect her, Eufinelsia, with a blush on her face, hurried into the carriage.
With a faint smile on his lips.
Yugrito came up to me with surprised eyes and said.
“This is the first time I’ve seen the princess smile like that.”
“is it?”
“It seems like you were relieved to hear that Black Scythe would protect you.”
“Then that’s a good thing.”
Ryumin, who was Ju-eok, told Yugrito not to worry.
“I will protect the princess, so just worry about getting to your destination.”
“If you do, we would be grateful.”
Yugrito smiled and headed to the front lines with relief, and the battle continued.
“Keeeeek!”
“Kyaaaak!”
Monsters continued to attack elves and humans, and Ryumin gained experience with the scythe each time.
During 30 waves, the monsters never came close to the princess.
Because it was guarded by a huge wall called the Black Scythe.
Yugrito approached and paid respect to that truly trustworthy figure.
“I knew that Black Scythe was no ordinary person, but I never thought he was this strong.”
“is it?”
“Thanks to you, we were able to escort the princess safely. thank you.”
Yugrito, who was saying thank you, showed regret on his face.
Because the time has come to part ways with your benefactor.
Eufinelcia also seemed to know this and stuck her head out of the carriage.
“excuse me… … “Black Scythe.”
“why? “Do you have anything to say?”
“that… … no.”
The princess, who had put her head in her head as if thinking about something, poked her face out again.
“There will come a day when we all meet again, right?”
Ryumin said calmly.
“okay. Until then, don’t forget me.”
“… … .”
Eufinelsia, who had a blank expression for a moment, went in without answering.
‘It’s embarrassing.’
Surprisingly, she was an elf princess who liked harsh dialogue.
Eventually it was time.
[Arrival time to destination: 00:00:00]
When it reached 0 seconds, Yugrito stopped the carriage and said goodbye like a sword.
“Warriors of this world. Thank you for your hard work. I will not forget the grace that protected us until we reached our destination. “I hope to see you again next time with a smile on your face.”
Tap-dag-dag-dak-
The carriage procession moved and Yugrito gave a final bow to Ryumin.
Eufinelcia, who opened the carriage window, also looked at Ryumin walking away with a shy girl-like face.
[The elf van was safely escorted to its destination.]
[The quest to escort the elves to the top has been completed.]
[After a while, everyone will be given experience points as a reward for successful escort.]
[The amount of experience given is twice that of the monsters you and your party members hunt.]
Once completed, experience rewards were received.
‘I’ve risen to level 78.’
This is a satisfactory level.
Above all, there is nothing better since I have built up a reputation with the elves and obtained the elixir I wanted.
As the time to part ways approached, Heo Tae-seok looked regretful next to him.
“Black Scythe. “It’s a shame we have to part ways now.”
“What a pity. “I’ll see you again next time.”
“ah.”
Those words must have touched Heo Tae-seok, and once again his expression becomes blank, as if he was in love with something.
“Can I see you again?”
Eom Jun-seok, who was next to him, spoke hesitantly, and Ryu Min nodded.
Just for that alone, the guy showed his teeth and expressed his joy.
I feel like a complete follower rather than a follower candidate.
‘Now shall we go to the human top?’
Ryumin’s appearance disappeared.
The last top remained.
A top that must be destroyed, not protected.
