Chapter 270
Episode 270
Erdin said, still looking at Jeron.
“Jeanne.”
“huh?”
Jeanne also answered, still looking at Jeron.
“Can’t I just speak politely or informally?”
“why?”
“that is… … Because it’s uncomfortable. “It’s easier to do this and that, but since we go back and forth, wouldn’t you say it’s a bit like that?”
“In other words, you’re doing it to make yourself comfortable?”
“yes. that’s right.”
Erdin obediently agreed.
Jeanne smiled and changed the subject without saying what she was going to do.
“Could it be that we ourselves have become mentally ill?”
“Simma? no way. “If that were the case, there’s no way we could be walking around safely now.”
Erdin said confidently.
Jeanne didn’t know why she was so confident, but she thought it wasn’t wrong.
Of course, there was something that needed to be corrected in that statement.
It’s not ‘we’, it’s ‘I’.
Naturally, he made everyone in his party the same as himself.
There was a reason why Erdin always got beaten by Jeron.
‘I heard that Simma is extremely dangerous.’
Jeanne looked at Geron again and thought.
In the Auror practice, there is a phenomenon called Mind Confusion, which is similar to Simma.
The literal translation is mental confusion or mental confusion.
This is a phenomenon that mainly occurs among Aura Expert knights. When they forcefully expand their mana halls, forcefully try to create an Auror blade, or forcefully rise to the level of ascension, the Aura flows back, causing them to lose their minds and become crazy.
Knights with strong mental strength can withstand or overcome mind fusion, but knights who cannot do so run rampant as if they have rabies or become killers.
‘It certainly doesn’t look like that.’
Jeanne pondered with her brows furrowed and then pointed out Jeron’s exact current appearance.
‘You look like a person with a lot of worries or worries.’
To put it another way, I am so tired that my insides are on the verge of festering.
Even before I came to the southern continent, I would sometimes see things like that. Now the closed flower bud has opened wide.
‘It’s needlessly pretty.’
In her head, Jeanne imagined Geron’s face inside the flower bud, but quickly shook her head to erase it. She was being a bit cruel, considering she ripped off Jeroen’s head and stuffed it inside her bud.
“I think it’s the Knights of the Duchy of Caheron.”
The agent, who used his spare time(?) to go outside with an artifact that blocks the rain, takes the sword and leather armor of one of the dead knights, examines them, and says:
“If you look here, you will see that the texture of the leather is different from mine.”
The agent took off the leather armor he was wearing and turned it inside out.
The texture of leather varies slightly depending on the tanning method and tool used. If someone who doesn’t know you looks at it, it may seem like there’s so little difference that you’ll just blink and wonder, ‘What’s the difference?’ But if you’re an armor craftsman or a person with a good eye, you’ll think ‘Huh?’ I recognize it right away.
In that sense, the texture of the agent’s leather armor and the dead knight’s leather armor were clearly different.
approximately… … .
The angle was tilted about 2 degrees to the right.
“What do you see?”
“What difference does it make?”
Erdin and Jeanne rubbed their eyes, but they didn’t notice at all. The angle of 2 degrees was truly a subtle difference. In fact, it was difficult to notice because the grain direction varied slightly depending on the leather pattern.
“Leather has a certain pattern. And the patterns are all different depending on the animal or monster skin used. Now, my leather armor and this leather armor are made of the same material, just in different shapes. However, the texture of the finished leather is different. That means the craftsman who tanned the leather is different. and… … “The grain is grain, but this is the most important evidence: this leather armor is made from the skin of a monster called Crobat.”
“What does the current situation have to do with a monster called Crobat? “Isn’t that a bit speculative?”
Erdin asks, tilting his head.
“The types of leather used to make armor are limited due to supply issues. In the case of cheap leather armor, the skin of goblins, gnolls, or kobolds is sometimes used.”
Cheap leather armor refers to lower-line leather armor purchased and worn by mercenaries or supplied to soldiers. Because it had to be mass-produced, leather had no choice but to be used in large supply.
Starting from the mid-level line, leather armor is made from the leather of medium-sized or higher monsters such as trolls, ogres, and minotaurs.
“And for leather armor that is classified as high-quality, the craftsmanship is changed and magic is enchanted to make it like an artifact.”
It was for the above reasons that the leather of kobolds or kobolds used in the lower-level line was created with a quality higher than that of the mid-level line.
Moreover, since it costs a huge amount of money to enchant something like armor, the upper lines are actually treated as high-end even in the mid-level line.
Artifactized armor is a treasure of the highest quality.
“The story went astray for a moment… … “The reason I bring this up is because my leather armor and this leather armor are made of the same leather.”
“… … .”
“It is the skin of Crobat, a monster known to only live in the southern continent.”
The types of monsters that inhabit each continent are slightly different.
Among them, CroBat, known to live in the southern continent, is a bat-shaped monster that mainly lives in caves and eats insects and animals.
In fact, like Erdin’s question, it wasn’t something that could be called evidence.
There are several kingdoms in the southern continent that make armor from Crobat skin.
But one more thing.
The amount of skin required to make one leather armor is approximately 30 Crobats.
In order for an entire corps of dozens of knights to wear armor made of Crobat skin, they would have to skin more than 1,000 Crobats, and there is only one colony in the Southern Continent where Crobats live in large enough numbers to avoid extinction: Peroche. There was only another country within the kingdom, the Principality of Caheron.
“This is a state secret… … “Ten years ago, the craftsman who tanned the leather to produce this texture transferred his affiliation from the royal family to the Principality of Caheron.”
It was a decisive word.

Late at night, Archduke Caheron had to come out in his pajamas to receive a sudden visit from an unwelcome guest.
“What’s going on?”
A dark-smelling man covered in black robes spoke in an unpleasant voice that sounded like scraping metal.
“Someone will come to the principality soon.”
“Someone is coming?”
“exactly.”
“Who is he?”
Under the black robe, blue eyes were curved like a crescent moon.
“enemy!”
It’s also very dangerous.

The next day, Jeron behaved as usual.
“Hey, man!”
“evil! evil! sorry! “I was wrong!”
“If you do something wrong, you should get hit!”
Jeron chased after and caught Erdin, who was running away, and returned after feeding him a lot of honey chestnuts until a lump appeared on his head. It was now quite common for Erdin to faint while eating honey chestnuts.
“How much further do we have to go?”
“About 5 days?”
“5 days… … you’re close.”
Due to an unexpected event, he stayed in the Peroche Kingdom for a long time.
It’s been almost a month since I crossed over to the southern continent, but there has been no result.
‘Uhm. Actually, I simply came to see if the Orcs would invade the Central Continent.’
There were results that were different from the original purpose.
One of the organization’s bases was discovered.
“Jeron! “The next city is the last city before entering the Principality of Caheron!”
Erdin, who had come to his senses, rushed over and said.
“When I go to the city, I want to eat cool soup and eat grilled skewers with lots of spicy seasoning!”
“okay. “Eat whatever you want.”
“ha. The last time I went to the academy, I couldn’t buy and eat grilled skewers, which is a lifelong regret. “I really don’t know why I did that.”
As Erdin chattered away, Jeron listened with one ear and let it go with the other, gesturing to the agent.
“Is there a problem?”
“There is something I must do from now on.”
“… … ! Please speak.”
The agent stood with his eyes wide open.
It was a typical soldier’s posture.
‘Wasn’t he an agent, not a soldier?’
but.
What difference does it make?
It was the same whether you were a soldier or an agent and belonged to the state.
The situation is the same: if you are told to expose yourself from above, you have to uncover it, and if you are told to lie down, you have to lie down.
“Please go around the territories around the principality and gather soldiers. It still feels a little late, but… … “We gather together as quickly as possible before it’s too late, surround them, and attack them as soon as they give the signal.”
“yes! All right!”
“We have to move as stealthily and quickly as possible. Otherwise, the damage to innocent people who know nothing will increase.”
“For the Kingdom of Peroche! “I will definitely achieve it.”
The agent said while saluting. Jeron, who accepted the salute, gave me the communication earring artifact farmed from the knights, and he left.
‘2 days to the next city. 3 days to the border of the principality. Considering the time it takes to stop by and go to Demon Mountain, is it between 10 and 15 days in total?’
The schedule was slightly delayed due to moving with the agent. So he sent out a mission to bring the soldiers. If he had known this, he would have been upset, but it was not for nothing that he gave them the name of innocent people who knew nothing.
“Let’s move a little faster.”
Jeron and his party arrived at the last city before entering the Principality of Caheron, with the goal of reducing the five-day distance (if moving with the agent) to two days.
“Soup with floating ice! “Spicy grilled skewers!”
As soon as Erdin unpacked his luggage, he quickly ran out.
Since the agent had also gone, there was no one to block his path.
“I’m excited. “I’m excited.”
“I guess I’ve been very frustrated these days.”
Jeron and Jeanne laughed as they watched Erdin’s back disappearing into the distance, while Logan and Mayen secretly went out on a date.
Of course, Logan was the only one thinking about dating.
Mayen blinked when asked to go together, then said, ‘Sure.’ All she did was do it and she followed through.
The group dispersed and there was someone watching from afar.
Sting.
It was Ma Chung-in of Mayan.
Sting-.
The devil sent a signal somewhere.

After the last night in the city, morning dawned.
“Keep your wits about you from now on.”
Jeron said to his companions, or rather to Erdin.
‘Jeron, are you coming to your senses?’
Erdin, who saw the image of Jeron from a while ago before his eyes, developed tremendous patience as he swallowed down the words that were filling his throat.
Finally, a few days later, we arrived at the border of the Principality of Caheron.
“… … .”
Jeron scratched his cheek with his index finger and looked at the border post.
“Uhm. “There is no one.”
“Iknow, right. “Has everyone gone on vacation?”
Erdin said, scratching the back of his head, but he knew very well that that couldn’t be possible. It is absolutely impossible for the border post to be empty unless the kingdom falls.
In short, they were all withdrawn.
“You knew we were coming.”
