The Last Adventurer

Chapter 133

Chapter 133 – Elnas Mountains (1)

One.

Maple World is always bustling with tales of heroism and adventure.

But right now, there was one place everyone was listening to.

“The hottest place right now is the Nihal Desert!”

Nihal Desert.

To be exact, Maple World’s attention was focused on the Ariant Kingdom.

It was natural.

“From the unveiling of the prince’s tomb, to the appearance of Crown Prince Kashan, to the assassination of Queen Areda!”

A situation where incidents that are enough to shake Maple World even if just one happens, occur without pause.

“A chimera has appeared in Magatia!”

“The chimera was cleaned by Janitor Grandel!”

“Does that matter now?”

Meanwhile, the incident of Janitor Grandel’s Chimera subjugation did not receive proper attention.

“The history of the Ariant Kingdom may change right now!”

That was about it.

“Right now, even if my feet are on fire, I must look towards the Kingdom of Ariant!”

Maple World’s interest in the Ariant Kingdom was burning so hot that it seemed like nothing could quench it.

“Hey, we’re in trouble!”

“What’s the big deal?”

“Aran’s item has appeared!”

“Hey, so what? What’s Aran? Huh? Wait a minute.”

But the news was different.

“Who, who?”

“Aran!”

“Ah, if it’s Aran, is it the Aran I know?”

“Then is there another Aran in Maple World besides her? Aran, one of the six heroes and the hero of Polarm!”

Aran, one of the six heroes, the moment her name appeared, Maple World’s attention was drawn to her.

The name of the hero who saved the world from the black wizard was more than just the history of the Kingdom of Ariant.

Moreover, this case was not simply a story about a hero.

“Her innocence has appeared in the world!”

Aran, the hero of Polarm, suddenly disappeared, and the items he used while alive have appeared in the world.

All the adventurers of Maple World, as well as the merchants of Victoria Island, the warriors of the Ariant Kingdom, and even the Knights of Signus.

Everyone couldn’t help but pay attention to that item.

“oh my god.”

Of course, they were no exception.

“Aran’s item? I have to go get it right now!”

“This is not an ordinary thing.”

“It’s not just out of the ordinary, it’s crazy! Is everyone going to be aiming for it right now?”

Devo, Kiri, and Miner reacted violently.

“Hey, Ralph? Why are you so calm?”

On the other hand, Ralph didn’t say anything or react, and when Debo asked about that, Ralph said,

“Oh, what did you say?”

“huh?”

“Sorry, I think I dozed off for a moment.”

“You fell asleep?”

“I had a dream that Aran’s item appeared. Isn’t that ridiculous?”

“That’s not a dream.”

And the moment he heard Debo’s words, Ralph’s face hardened and became colder than ever.

It was hard to live.

From this point on, anyone who comes after Aran’s items will be killed with his fists as soon as he sees them.

A terrifying sight in many ways.

But his colleagues did not question his appearance.

Aran’s items were worth it.

El Palm, on the other hand, was different.

His expression was calm and composed.

El Palm, far from being happy about this situation, was rather troubled.

‘This is a different story.’

The reason for the worry was simple.

‘What I did with the Phantom Thief.’

The request he received from the thief Phantom was none other than to go to the Elnas Mountains and retrieve Aran’s items.

At some point, the tip of the sword that Hote had pulled out was aimed at Ivok’s Adam’s apple.

I couldn’t see or hear anything.

It was only after Ivok felt something prick his neck that he realized that Hote had pointed his sword at him.

gulp!

Hote spoke to Ivok, who swallowed his saliva so belatedly, with shining blue eyes.

“Queen Areda’s life is valuable. But Ivok, your life is not valuable.”

He gave an eerie warning.

“So, I’ll give you just one chance to prove your worth.”

Then he spoke of hope.

But from Evoque’s point of view, it was not a hope.

Because I knew it wouldn’t be an easy opportunity.

“The thief Phantom has appeared. And now it is believed that the hero of Polarm, Aran, has appeared.”

It was as expected.

“Aran, hero of Polarm, please suggest a way to find her.”

The moment they heard those words, Queen Areda and Ivok were surprised.

“Is it true now? The hero of Polarm has appeared?”

I was surprised by the appearance of the Phantom Thief, but here comes the hero of Polarm?

Moreover, they were followers of the Black Wizard, and so they knew better than anyone else.

“She was the one I couldn’t find even after searching for so long?”

What efforts have the followers of the Black Mage made so far to trace the traces of the six heroes?

It was an effort that could literally swallow up Maple World.

And yet, the Aran I couldn’t find appeared?

That alone is surprising.

But from Evoque’s point of view, it couldn’t be surprising.

Now Ivok had to show Hote a way to find Aran, the hero whom the followers of the Black Mage had been unable to find despite their best efforts.

It was actually a ridiculous test.

So said Ivoke.

“It is impossible to find her. If it were possible, you wouldn’t even be asking this question.”

Hote nodded at those words.

“Then there is only one way to do it, and that is to make her appear on her own feet.”

“What is that method?”

“It is dyeing the El Nas Mountains with blood.”

At those words, Hote’s eyes lit up sharply.

But Ivok didn’t give up with his eyes either.

Rather, Ivok’s eyes glowed more fiercely.

In fact, Evoque was no ordinary person.

He was the leader of the Kania Merchant Group, one of the most prestigious merchant groups in Victoria Island, and was recognized for his skills even among the followers of the Black Wizard.

Above all, he was risking his life right now.

It’s obvious who will be more desperate, a hunting lion or a chasing lynx.

“There is a saying that in troubled times, heroes emerge. As the saying goes, if you create troubled times, heroes will naturally emerge.”

“Aran isn’t that stupid, is he?”

“Just causing massacres isn’t very effective. But when it’s her name on the line, it’s different.”

“Does your name matter?”

Above all, Evoque knew.

“Your Majesty the Lion King knows that the hero Aran of Polarm has an item she wore while alive.”

At those words, Hote laughed and put away the sword that was pointed at Ivoke’s Adam’s apple.

It was not an expression of goodwill.

In fact, it was quite the opposite.

Hotel is ready.

If what Ivok says is not to your liking, prepare to kill him with one stroke of a sword.

That would be the case, as it was a top secret that Ban Leon had Aran’s item.

If Evoque knew that much of a secret, then Evoque was a very dangerous person for Van Leon.

And it was the role of the Shadow Knights to eliminate such risks by any means necessary.

This means that now, Evoque has only one word left to say.

“We will spread the word in Maple World that Aran’s items are in the Elnas Mountains. Then, adventurers from Maple World will swarm us like bees. All we have to do is kill them.”

Evoque spits out words that could become his last words.

Fortunately, Ivok’s words did not become a will.

Hote’s sword remained as it was, and Ivok continued speaking.

“If adventurers start dying in Aran’s name, she will react in some way.”

After finishing his words like that, Evoque closed his eyes.

To such an Ivok, Hote said:

“Welcome to Elnas. We will escort you to the castle.”
