Grave Keeper of the Fallen Kingdom

Suddenly learning archery He hadn’t mastered the sword’s path yet, so it was too much to learn archery.

Moreover, time is running out to train without skipping master colossus’ demon skills.

– Learn archery! I will teach you. Do you think opportunities to learn archery from master archers are common?

“Master level? you mean?”

– okay.

How many masters have you seen in your previous life already in this life?

Of course, they are dead, but there are already two living people, including Sir Morgan and the martial artist in Heuksung.

“Why do you want to teach archery?”

– There’s someone to kill. You’ll need archery to kill him.

“Who the hell is that… … .”

– Shadow Archer. There, we must kill that bastard mouse hiding in the snowfields of the Black Land.

Did you mean a monster to kill?

But a monster that even a master archer couldn’t kill… … . I couldn’t believe that a guy like that existed.

“Tell me calmly and calmly.”

The strength of the soul, which had been shaken by my words, gradually began to subside.

The unstable hostility that had been felt little by little became stable and the shaky presence quickly became clear.

– The Shadow Archer is a named monster hiding in the snowfields of the Black Land. A monster in the form of a rat that wields a bow.

“Are you saying that he also has master-class skills?”

– That’s not right. The reason I couldn’t kill him was purely because of his timid nature, prudence, and power of the monsters.

“Then he… … .”

– If you fight him alone, you can catch him at the level of a high-ranking knight. However, it is almost impossible to get within its range. Its long range, speed of movement, and hundreds of monsters protecting it. If you use a normal short-range weapon, it’s close to impossible to catch him. I don’t know if it’s a master level skill.

I know right away that he’s a very picky guy.

Anyway, isn’t it obvious that if a guy like that hides among monsters, the damage to allies will be bigger than expected?

It seems that I need to ask Stefan or Arthur for information about him.

“But why do you want to kill him so much?”

– Because he killed me and my daughter.

He let out a deep sigh with calm eyes and spoke briefly about his past.

From nob le mtl dot com

Günter Heider, who was the lord of the castle before Stefan came to Ein Bayer.

This man was a master-level archer and a warrior protecting the north.

The shadow archer, who had several conflicts with Gunther, realized the danger of Gunther and hid, and Gunther dug a trap to bring him out.

However, it was difficult to pull him out easily because he was so cowardly, and in the end, Gunter sacrificed himself to enter the black land and lure him out.

As a result, he took a fatal blow from the shadow archer, but was killed by the combined attacks of other named monsters.

“No matter what, you kill a master class? Only monsters?”

– Not just. Their intelligence is not inferior to humans at all. I thought I was setting a trap, but in fact, they also took a risk and set a trap to kill me.

“But didn’t Master Gunther also say he hit the shadow archer?”

– It did. I thought it was dead, but I didn’t see it. I didn’t inform them of his death either, but he didn’t reveal himself for a long time either.

“They’re really human-like.”

– Yes, five years passed like that, and an incident occurred a month ago.

His cheeks trembled, he continued.

– My daughter stayed here to help people even after I died and Stefan entrusted the lord of the castle. Everyone in the citadel liked my daughter. In the midst of all that, my daughter was kidnapped by monsters.

His emotions surged again.

– Even though I didn’t enter the black land, the named monster showed up near the fortress. Do you think they would have taken that risk just to kidnap a human? no! Shadow Archer, he’s awakened. that guy! You kidnapped my daughter to lure me in! to get revenge on me!

“Calm down. It’s already been 5 years since Günther-nim hasn’t been seen. Those guys will also think Gunther is dead.”

– no! The guy is definitely alive. He hid from me for five years. Then he couldn’t stand it and jumped out and kidnapped my daughter.

Günter’s eyes were full of madness.

It is clear that his eyes are turned over at the death of his daughter and he is unable to make a proper judgment.

No matter how it was, there was no way that Günther had been afraid and hid for five years.

If the Shadow Archer hadn’t been seen until now, he wouldn’t have appeared since he was killed by Gunter’s arrow at that time.

– I’m not saying this for nothing. There was a time when I hid for a year to catch him. Waiting for him to catch his guard. But I failed to catch him, and he started hiding more tightly after that. 5 years? He’s so cowardly that he hides for 10 years.

“her… … .”

I couldn’t help but laugh when I said that I had been hiding for a year and waiting for the right time to kill him.

It’s a great obsession.

It is said that such a thing happened, but it is a little persuasive, but isn’t 5 years too much?

– My daughter became a cold corpse and was abandoned on the cold floor. no one! No one in the citadel! I didn’t enter the black land to save my daughter. How devoted my daughter lived to them. dare! Stefan, that son of a b*tch abandoned my daughter!

“Are you talking about Stefan?”

– okay!

Here in Ain Bayer, the territories people liked Stefan a hundred times.

Not only his bravery, charisma, and swordsmanship skills, but also his warm heart for Young Ji-min.

These are the impressions I heard while walking around the fort today.

It was hard to believe that such a Stefan was the daughter of the previous castle lord and abandoned a person who remained in the castle for five years and devoted himself to it.

‘If there are monsters that are so dangerous in a place called the Black Land, sending soldiers as a commander might feel like a big risk.’

His judgment was not bad if you think about it rationally.

From nob le mtl dot com

Giving up one Youngjimin is natural when considering the identity of the Youngji.

But would Arthur or Ralph have given the same order had they been in that situation?

That’s something you don’t know. No matter how cool-headed you are, blood ties make a difference.

“I understand the situation. But you can’t learn archery.”

– Why? I’m going to teach you my archery skills. Fifteen years if you’re talented, no! You can make it master level in 10 years.

It’s not 1 year, it’s 10 years.

In 10 years, demons might attack the continent and destroy it.

You can’t leisurely learn archery here.

It takes 10 years if you have the talent, but how long does it take if you don’t have it?

“Kill yourself.”

– … … what? what is that-

[Code – Günter Heider]

From nob le mtl dot com

Günter, who was sucked into my body by a sudden pull, moved my body with a puzzled expression and tried to run out of the graveyard without hesitation.

“I don’t know what the situation is, but right now that bastard Stefan… .”

[The code is released.]

-… I’ll kill you… … , uh?

Using spiritual power, Gunter’s code was forcibly released.

I never thought I would run to Stefan right away like this.

This is the first time this has happened, so I’m a bit confused.

“This is my body. Please do not use it sparingly.”

– What was that?

“It is my ability. How is it? When the Shadow Archer appears, I will lend you my body.”

– … … !

His eyes flashed open.

From nob le mtl dot com

Günter shakes his hand as if he finally understood what I meant.

– right now! Let’s go right now!

“It’s not possible. If he shows up, I’ll lend it to you then. Even if you do the necromantic, if you get too far from the graveyard, the necromancy will be broken. It means you can’t enter the black land anyway.”

– … … Tsk, is it?

[Subquest – Defeat the Shadow Archer.]

[Kill the shadow archer who kidnapped and killed Günter Heider’s daughter.]

[Reward – Energy +4, Hawk Eye]

‘It raises energy by 4? In addition, the ability called hawk eyes?’

Unknowingly, I laughed at the absurdly large reward.

Is this possible?

[If you fail – an archer who has returned from the dead will chase you.]

And the message that comes to mind one after another.

‘What is this… … ?’

For the first time, he paid for failure in a quest.

Do you mean high risk high return?

‘An archer who came back from the dead… … .’

This man trembling in front of his eyes.

From nob le mtl dot com

Günter Heider.

It must mean a master level archer.

‘You can’t be revived? Is that possible?’

This system shows something new once you get used to it.

What on earth is it that makes this possible?

‘No, maybe it’s explaining in advance what will happen anyway.’

The important thing now is not about this system.

Do you accept this quest or not?

That was what mattered.

‘Does the system say this really means that the Shadow Archer is alive?’

If so, I can’t get out of here until I catch the shadow archer.

If you were pursued by a master archer, you never know when or where you will die.

‘Just give up?’

This isn’t a bad option, but… … .

“Okay, Shadow Archer. Let’s kill it.”

[You have accepted Sub Quest – Defeat the Shadow Archer.]

– good night. If you find him, be sure to call me. I will definitely kill you

“yes.”

Shouldn’t the shadow archer, if he’s really alive, just make sure he doesn’t leave without appearing?

‘I can’t miss this opportunity.’

When I complete this, I will complete my qi as a true high-ranking knight.

– Come back. I’ll tell you more about him.

“yes.”

I went out of the cemetery leaving Günther behind.

When I got there, Arthur was waiting for me.

“It took longer than expected. sorry.”

“no. Let’s go.”

Arthur and I headed to the streets of the city where the celebration was just unfolding.

In the fairly large yard where Stefan’s mansion is located, knights, commanders, and executives are gathering and having a drinking party.

Even outside the mansion, the villagers and soldiers of Ain Bayer were enjoying the day with drunken faces all over the street.

“But they say it’s an exhibition situation, so can we hold a celebration like this?”

“It may seem a little strange. In fact, there is also the confidence that the castle wall will not be breached, but probably not everyone above the knight level was drunk. Everyone is pretending to be drunk and letting themselves go just to enjoy the atmosphere.”

“okay.”

“Life in a place where there is such a strong cold is more difficult than you think and requires arduous mental strength. We tend to forget it with people’s heat.”

Forget with people’s heat… … .

Hearing that, I understood their expressions and atmosphere.

The laughter of people I hadn’t seen during the day, the flushed red skin, and the joy of forgetting that it was a wartime situation were completely different from those of other places on the continent.

“oh! Are you here?”

Alan came out and welcomed Arthur.

“yes.”

“Ren, do you know how long I waited to have a drink with you?”

It hadn’t been long since the celebration had started, and if you wait, how long have you waited?

Moreover, his face was slightly flushed, as if he had already had several drinks.

“Sleep, take it.”

“Arthur, you are late.”

Stefan, who was talking with the commanders, also found us and approached us.

“The schedule took a little longer than expected. Father, where is Ralph?”

“He’s drinking with the knights over there.”

As soon as he arrived, Arthur, who had taken care of his brother’s comfort, raised his glass as if he was relieved.

I shoveled the liquor from the large glass down my throat at once.

It was because I thought I could be influenced by their atmosphere if I got drunk a little sooner.

From nob le mtl dot com

Gulp, gulp.

“Hey, are you drinking well?”

“Ren, you know how to drink! ha ha ha!”

Alan and Stefan looked at my throat with admiration.

“Big… … , Is this the northern liquor? It is quite strong.”

I was also a bit of a drinker, so I was confident.

‘By the way, everyone pretended to be drunk after drinking this kind of alcohol?’

Is alcohol a basic requirement for northern warriors?

“My escort driver couldn’t drink, which is a pity, but that’s great. It’s nice to have a friend to drink with.”

Alan said that and drank the full glass again.

He seemed to know what I meant when he said he didn’t really need snacks.

I’m busy trying to soothe my body temperature, which is going down to the cold, with alcohol. Where would I have time to pick up a snack?

We drank for a while and enjoyed the atmosphere.

“Heh… … , the northern… It’s a fun place. Sir Stephen.”

“Is that so? I saw it again. The second prince of Brilliant… … , that he is such a big-hearted person.”

“hahahaha, I will go talk to the other knights as well.”

“Then I will go too. Arthur, you take care of Ren.”

“yes. father.”

Alan and Stefan’s steps as they leave are somewhat strange.

Moving in a zigzag… … , Is it right to pretend to be drunk?

Or am I shaking?

“Captain! Were you here? You should have a drink with us too!”

Andrew and Dominic came running from the other side with glasses.

Those guys must have eaten too much, and their faces are full of drunkenness.

“Ren. Fill your glass quickly.”

Arthur urged me from the side.

“Oh yeah.”

I want to drink slowly, but Arthur eats faster than I thought.

As I matched his pace, my pace quickly collapsed.

‘It’s like the corner of the mouth went up… , I must be mistaken?’

no way… , Daytime Dalian’s revenge is not… I guess?

no way… , no way… … .

My mind went into a stupor with blurry thoughts.

Whoops-.

A cold wind tickled my body.

“hmm… … ?”

My vision, which had become dark before I knew it, opened wide as if a curtain had been removed, and I saw a familiar ceiling.

‘I must have been drinking?’

When I came to my senses, at some point, morning was dawning.
