Grave Keeper of the Fallen Kingdom

Most of those who have been exceptionally outstanding since childhood or who have had everything go their way with the power of their family on their backs have something in common.

disregard for the little things.

It’s because it’s in their heads that they can ignore that much with their background and capabilities.

The same goes for Evan Marshall, who runs into Ren.

‘What is this… … !’

Kaaang!!

As if he knew it in advance, the sword flew in the direction he swung the sword.

Caan!!

“Keugh!”

There was no way this would happen.

It’s just that in an abandoned city like this, there’s someone who can block his sword so easily… … .

“Cuck!”

The chair kicked by the opponent rolled across the ground, wrapping around his ankle and knocking him off balance.

I urgently raise my body, and beer flows down from the top.

“aaa!!”

I tried to scream, but all I could hear was laughter.

That’s when I knew.

That the opponent’s skills were far superior to one’s own.

Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!

The sword he wielded indiscriminately only cut through the air.

Taking a few steps back, Ren quietly watched Evan Marshall with bloodshot eyes.

“Whoa… , Whoa… … .”

“Do it like this.”

Evan, struggling with this, straightened his sword until the end. But it wasn’t as random as before.

“You understand now? Open your eyes and face reality. If you want to rise to the top, you have to know how to admit it.”

Breathing heavily, he fell into contemplation.

If you think about it, there was enough evidence that the man in front of you was stronger than you.

This man had a black market auction ticket that could not be obtained no matter how much money he held. That alone must have meant that the odds of him being an unusually talented person were high.

Evan keenly felt that the prejudices and stereotypes that came to Abitrari were all trash and insignificant losers covering his eyes.

“I… … .”

“Move!”

Ren pulled Evan’s arm and decapitated the man who was about to stab Evan from behind.

Feeling the hot blood running down his back, Evan turned his head to see the knife fall at his feet.

He didn’t even think they were on the same side in the first place, but the guys who pretended to be cheering for him saying that they could steal the ticket if they killed the man in front of them changed their attitude as soon as things went wrong, and Evan fell into doubt about what he had done.

“me… Why did you save it?”

“Didn’t I say that I would teach you as a life senior? Calm down. Now, all of them will fight together.”

A metallic sound came from all directions at the same time as Ren’s words.

The humans, each with a sword, sword, spear, ax, etc., were aiming for four people.

“I told you that I was going to use a sword, so I trusted you, wasn’t it a pure idiot?”

“So, what are you entrusting to a kid?”

“Block the door! Officers from the Black Society will come soon! Block the road!”

Ren grabbed Evan’s staggering arm and lifted him up.

“If you want to live, follow me.”

“… what?”

“Take care of your body guard. What, should I protect you?”

After taking a quick look around at Ren’s words, Evan gritted his teeth and grabbed his sword.

“shut up.”

After kicking the table and pushing the approaching guys away, Evan steps forward.

“Because I will open the way.”

Even though he must have been quite tired from the previous fight, Ren smiled at the sight of him running without hesitation and stepped back.

“The bluff.”

“What are you going to do!”

“Go outside first. Because we have to get out before the black society comes.”

The skills of the guys in the tavern are no big deal.

But the black society that will come in the future must be the problem.

‘I think I was planning on using Evan as bait to take out my strength… … .’

It would be a waste of stamina to run away by slashing each one of the guys here.

“Just break through! Don’t try to kill me!”

In the first place, Evan is still not able to hit the vital point at once, perhaps because it is difficult to kill him.

In this case, it was better to just bare the bare minimum and step in.

Kwagwagwagwagwang!!

Furniture collided everywhere and black society bastards tumbled across the floor.

All at once kicked through the door and ran out, looking at Ren at the same time.

“Here!”

As I entered the alley, a group of wolves were coming running from the other side.

“Sir.”

“It’s not here!”

“It will be the same elsewhere.”

In the back, the guys who followed you from the tavern a while ago are blocking the road.

It would be easier to penetrate from the back, but if you go to the back, the road is narrow and limited, so it is difficult to escape.

If the guys flocked there, there would be no more answers.

“Just pierce them.”

“I pierce it!”

Ren and Evan took the lead.

“There he is!”

“run! You stupid wolf cubs!”

“Growl!”

– Stupid owner!

“Kuhhh!”

– How are your parents?

The words of the wolves were interpreted naturally.

Ignoring the similar wolves’ greetings everywhere, Ren cut down the riders on top of the wolf and grabbed the wolf’s reins.

“Kleuraaak!”

– Now I am your master!

Ren let out the wolf words naturally, and the others around him looked at him with puzzled eyes.

“Were you crazy?”

“Are you copying the wolf?”

“Someone who thinks he is a wolf is coming.”

The members of the dark society looked at Ren like a madman.

“what? Why are you here?”

“… … Did you follow me for no reason?”

“No, our shooter can speak a real wolf!”

Only Rayman, who had heard Ren’s wolf words before, stood up for Ren.

“Crumbling?”

– what?

“Kara La Rock!”

– Were you a wolf!

Instead of answering, Ren tightened the leash and applied force to the wolf.

“Evan! Catch this guy too!”

“I don’t know how to ride a wolf!”

“Just ride!”

Evan suddenly grabbed the reins that Ren had given him.

“Hey, if you listen to me carefully, I’ll let you go, so please ride him gently.”

“Chararak!”

– Really!

“Kreurreuk!”

– good night!

Francis and Rayman, who also knocked out the other members of the Black Society who rode the wolf, also rode the wolf.

“Are you listening to them?”

“Take hold of the reins!”

Four wolves started to run after the members of the Black Society.

After running for a while, I see the black society members flocking again.

“Hey, did you hear what they said?”

“Kreur.”

– What do you mean?

“Where are you saying you’re hiding?”

“Crack!”

– I do not know!

“Urkma! Kararagrrak!”

– Stupid! He said he was in the B4 area!

“oh? Where is it?”

“Crack!”

– I do not know!

“Sir… … .”

Seeing Ren talking to the wolves, Evan and Frances laughed in amazement.

“Are you really having a conversation?”

“It just seems crazy… … .”

The two stare at Ren’s back with their mouths wide open.

“Kleur la la la rock! Karak! Korok!”

“Urakkarakka!”

“Go Caragra.”

“Go Kuka Goo Kara! Krakruk!”

I can’t believe it because we are exchanging incomprehensible cries as if we are having a real conversation.

“Let’s go over here. They’re hiding over there too.”

If Ren said this, there were indeed enemies hiding there.

“and… , Are you really talking?”

Francis said admiringly, and Rayman responded triumphantly with a raised shoulder.

“Didn’t I tell you? You really know what to do.”

It was a story known to those in the know that Ren had a conversation with the black wolves when he joined the desert expedition.

“I… … .”

Evan hesitantly approached Ren and called out to him.

“why?”

“How are you talking about that wolf?”

“… … what?”

Ren looks at him with a puzzled expression at the sudden question.

“that… … , did I tell you to admit it? I also want to acknowledge this absurd situation and learn from it.”

‘I’m going to learn swordsmanship, why is he like this again?’

My head still hurts, but this guy has a headache again. I don’t know why he’s doing this.

Ren waved his hand and ignored it.

“Please tell me!”

“Then why are you so respectful all of a sudden?”

“… … Sun… I think it will be… … .”

Evan’s cheeks turned slightly red.

The shy look reminded me of the fact that I was still a child.

“Anyway, not everyone learns wolf language. Stop paying attention.”

After that, Ren didn’t turn his head any further.

Evan, sullen, stepped back and looked at the wolf he was sitting on.

“… … Krrr.”

Then, as Ren did, I quietly imitated him.

“… … .”

The wolf, which had been running hard forward, twisted its head, looked sideways at Evan with eyes full of ridicule, and laughed.

“Kreuk.”

– Fool.

Seeing that, Evan’s face grew even redder and muttered softly.

“… … f*ck.”

* * *

The officers of the Black Society rode wolves, and thanks to that, Ren could hear the loud wolves’ cries and know the direction of the enemy’s movement or ambush in advance.

Thanks to this, the four people who were able to re-enter the inner entrance of the central area discussed what to do before going inside.

“Tsk, should I have just stayed at ‘Lake’ from the beginning?”

“that… , Wouldn’t it be unknown if I secretly set up a lodging? Rakes are too expensive!”

“If you go inside, you’re sure even the black society guys can’t come, right?”

Ren nodded at Evan’s sudden question.

“That’s right, if we don’t find a lodging instead, we don’t know what will happen to us at night, no matter how centrally located.”

“Is it because of how expensive that lodging called Lake is?”

“How expensive is it? 100 gold a day! If you add more people there, 50 gold! What is the cost of living with that money? … .”

Francis shook his head and counted with his fingers, but when he thought about it again, he couldn’t keep his mouth open as if he was shocked.

“100 gold? Isn’t it 1,000 gold?”

“… … uh?”

“Ha, with such skills, why are you desperately selling for such a small amount of money?”

Evan looks at Frances and Ren as if he doesn’t understand.

He suddenly grabs the reins and steps forward.

“Where?”

“Isn’t it just a matter of going to the lodge called Lake? What are you thinking about?”

“Did you not hear? How much money is there? What do you think you have a lot of money? Will you give us ours too? Or I can’t… .”

“I’ll give it to you.”

“… Gaak? what? Are you giving it away?”

Francis’ eyes widened.

“I’ll give it to you. So please come that… , line… Please come too. I will give it to you.”

“Seniors?”

“Ah, didn’t you say senior? As a prosecutor, you are right. senior life… Well, let’s assume that’s right.”

Ren snorted and followed Evan.

“Hey, I’m first!”

Rayman shouted at Evan with a disgruntled expression.

“What do you mean first?”

“I was under the shooter first. child.”

“What is he saying now? I have no intention of going under seniors.”

“okay? That’s stupid. How well he teaches swordsmanship when he is under the archer.”

“what? teach me swordsmanship? really?”

Evan’s eyes twinkled at those words and looked at Ren.

Although he briefly mixed swords with Ren earlier, Evan felt that Ren’s swordsmanship was a little different from others he had experienced before.

The heaviness that cannot be described in words and the pressure that comes in.

Should I say that the difference in rank can be felt from the swordsmanship itself… … .

‘Come to think of it, I don’t even know the name.’

I was soaked in thought and ran hard, and before I knew it, I had arrived in front of the rake.

“great job. You bastard.”

said Francis, petting the wolf’s head.

“I will get a room.”

“Come with me.”

“yep!”

Evan and Rayman went inside.

Ren and Frances waited outside with the wolves.

“Kurrr Rock!”

– When will we send it!

“Wait, I’ll send you out of town when I’m done.”

“Karagarak!”

– i get it!

They are surprisingly obedient guys.

I don’t know if it’s because the Black Society tamed them, or if they tamed them.

After a while, Evan and Rayman came out.

“They say the wolves will take care of them all.”

“It’s no wonder they take so much money!”

“thanks.”

“no. Oh that… … , My name is Evan Marshall.”

Evan introduced himself first.

“I am Len Argen.”

“Raman, the shooter’s right-hand man.”

“It’s Francis. thank you. Let’s be friends.”

Francis forcibly grabbed Evan’s hand and shook it.

“That, yes. By the way, senior, were you from the Argen family?”

Evan asked in a surprised voice.

“I came from a family when I was young. Only the surname is Argen, not Argen.”

“ah… … , that’s right All right.”

“Let’s go up. Let’s rest here today.”

Thanks to Evan, the four of them were able to go into their respective rooms and relieve the fatigue of the exhausting day.

* * *

The black market auction starts at midnight two days later.

The day and night of Abitrari are completely different.

At that time when the light is pushed away and the darkness settles, insidious and dirty things that the citizens of the day do not know about happen in secret.

Ren sat down on the sofa in the dorm and took out the ticket he had received during the day.

A square black ticket.

This ticket to the black market auction is of great value despite its humble appearance.

And where there is that much value, people with that much power and power gather.

‘I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of people will come.’

My heart races just thinking about it.

A place where those in power who operate in the dark take off the masks they use in the light and reveal their true nature.

The moment you lose tension, the moment you become dangerous is a moment.

‘I’ll have to be careful.’
