Regression Is Too Much

85 – The regressor panics (6)

“… “

“… “

The atmosphere is as cold as the raging wind. He said he vouched for it, but we knew nothing about Baron Jorge.

“… Even if you say it’s a warranty. What do you believe in?”

A man with a rugged expression shrugging his shoulders.

“We have a common factor called ‘players’, and we have common goals… That’s really the first time I’ve seen it. Is there any trust between us?”

“Isn’t trust supposed to be built up?”

Baron Jorge, who took it casually, looked in the direction of the castle and gave his signal.

“Thomas!”

“Yes! Baron!”

Soon after, at the baron’s signal, men dressed in winter clothes step out of the castle in moderation.

They carried thick blocks of wood on their shoulders, probably from what William Smith called “A room full of materials.”

“I also have eyes for people. Did you say ‘player’ earlier? You guys… Be strong also free At first, I thought it was a group of mercenaries and was mistaken.”

Baron Jorge waited until the man called Thomas arrived, and then he continued his talk.

“But let me tell you. Didn’t you say that you were repairing the walls and reinforcing the gates earlier?”

“… Did you?”

“Does anyone know how to do that? No Has anyone ever lived in a ‘castle’? I’ve lived in a castle all my life.”

“… “

None.

Of course, as 100 people gathered, there might be one or two people with knowledge. But the vast majority don’t know.

Isn’t it just a matter of blocking the castle gate with a vaguely heavy object and replacing the old stone with a nearby stone? I just thought

“Hmm.”

Baron Jorge took a quick look at our reaction and gave a small nod.

“Baron Jorge is a territory located in the mountains. The land was not suitable for farming, and the geographical conditions were not very good. But fortunately, there is a fairly large iron mine in the territory, so there was no problem making a living.”

Hook!

A heavy wooden plank is placed on the snow.

“Miners use slaves because they risk their lives. Where I grow up, what will I do? Blacksmiths who sell weapons are the absolute majority. Because the forest is so thick, some do carpentry work.”

The young man who brought the plank had wide shoulders and thick forearms. It wasn’t obvious because I was with players who got better due to the status window.

“So… We’ll take care of fortifying the castle, and you’ll do the search. Wouldn’t this be helpful enough?”

“… “

Help… do. The strong arms of the men were stronger than any other words.

But the problem still remained.

“But… What would you do if a monster actually appeared?”

The woman we saw earlier, with her chin protruding, opens her eyes and argues.

“As for the repair of the walls, you guys will do a lot better than we do. But what if there’s a monster out there? Or what if a monster comes out of the castle? At that time, should we risk our lives to protect you?”

“… “

Baron Jorge’s expression hardens slightly.

“… Among the villagers who came to this place, there are about 10 soldiers. Thomas here is a knight. But… okay. It won’t be of much help to you.”

He looked for a moment in the direction of the castle where his people were staying, then looked at the players again and said.

“We will protect our safety. If we’re in danger, we don’t need help. It’s good to act by dividing the area altogether. But, let me use the castle. That’s all the terms of ‘cooperation’ I want.”

“If we use the last name together, we will inevitably have to help them… “

“Now, now. Calm down.”

While I stopped the woman, I glanced at Baron Jorge.

“We’ll have a meeting and talk to you again. See you in the room next to the stairs earlier.”

“… Do it Thomas! Move the planks near the front door!”

“Yes! Baron!”

**

After Baron Jorge and his party returned to the castle.

“Give me the sword.”

“Ah, uh, yes.”

After receiving the sword from a man next to me, I cut three short cuts in the air.

Huung! Whoo! Whoo!

I heard a menacing gong sound, but deep inside I was not satisfied. Because of the thick gloves, the force did not enter properly.

“Oh, oh oh… “

“What, just… “

But most of the players didn’t think so, and I could feel the change in their eyes.

His eyes were slightly sparkling, but with a slight hint of fear. As I intended, the ‘Awe’ attribute was activated.

– Awe [A]

– Praise for your greatness. Fear of not being able to understand.

– You can use the characteristics of the target affected by awe only once in a degraded version.

-Junghyun Lee: Roar (B-) ＞＞＞ Shout (E-)

-Jihoon Kim: Hit (C) ＞＞＞ Hit (F-)

-Minsu Yoon: Leap (D-) ＞＞＞ Jump (FF)

– …

A message window appears in front of your eyes.

“… “

Come to think of it, the awe trait has evolved. At first, I just activated the attribute to lead the meeting as I intended, but I ended up experimenting with the changed attribute.

But the attribute level… E? F? This should be regarded as a characteristic that cannot be used. Unless it’s a special case like Poison Hee, there doesn’t seem to be much practical combat.

Taking my eyes off the message window, I looked around at the players and opened my mouth.

“I think there will be pros and cons to our cooperation with Baron Jorge. I still can’t fully trust them.”

“Well, then why… “

I didn’t answer and pointed to the wooden piece next to the castle gate with my chin.

“That. Why?”

“… “

“It is understandable that there are weapons inside the castle. It means that there will come a situation where we will have to use a weapon. Having food is also understandable. Food is indispensable to survival, so you must have food too. But why are there winter clothes and wooden materials?

From the moment we were summoned to the 4th floor, we were wearing winter clothes. Winter clothes are not necessary.

Also, there is hardly anyone who knows how to handle wooden materials. Not much needed

And just in time… There are aliens who can make good use of what they are given.

Indeed… Did T.O.P ‘just’ give you something?

“In the first place, isn’t the use of those aliens itself part of the 4th floor? I think so.”

There is no way the villagers were summoned here for no reason. If the summoned people were old and frail old people, women, and children, the tower’s question would have been, “Can you survive while protecting them?”

But no. They are tightly united around Baron Jorge, and at the same time competent. It is not an object to be protected, but an object to be used.

“The 4th floor… Wouldn’t it be a place where you can survive only by mobilizing all the residents? I think we should cooperate with Baron Jorge. Do you have any objections?”

“… “

“… “

There were no objections. The mere idiots were under the influence of my Awe trait, and those who were strong enough to break free of the trait’s influence had their heads turned roughly.

“I will leave the detailed personnel arrangements to Mr. William Smith. Based on the guard mission to guard the outside of the castle, rotate the rotation to explore the inside of the castle during breaks.”

“Okay.”

William Smith nodded awkwardly.

“Then, I will speak with Baron Jorge.”

With the situation sorted out, I walked toward the castle.

“… So who is that person?”

“… I don’t know. But it seems like it’s f*cking strong, so let’s listen to it first.”

The gaze from behind is stinging. But surprisingly it’s nothing.

“… “

I was vociferous about the need to use Baron Jorge.

But after all, I was also ‘using’ the players. As a fertilizer for my return, I was using people without hesitation.

Because they didn’t mean much to me.

… After clearing the 4th floor, I need to take a break.

**

“So, how did it go?”

“Thank you very much.”

“hahahaha, we ask you to take good care of us too.”

Me and Baron Jorge exchanging handshakes. But the corners of my mouth didn’t even budge.

In a way, it is natural. I had no intention of giving my heart to others.

Be careful not to belittle others too much, but be careful not to be too friendly. The mission of the 4th floor is ‘survival’, and there will be countless people who die.

… If someone close to me dies horribly in front of me, what will happen to my mentality. You must always be vigilant.

Therefore, I had no intention of making friends with anyone on the 4th floor. Maintain a reasonable sense of distance and clear the 4th floor. This was my current goal.

“Okay, then we should discuss the details. What are you going to do with the boundaries of the wall? We can do it… “

“The players will do it. In the first place, as much as the physical ability is different, the visual distance will be different.”

“Okay. Next, let’s talk about repairing the walls.”

“Since most of Youngjimin said they were blacksmiths, I would like to ask you to repair the weapons.”

“I’d like to discuss what to do if something unpleasant happens between the player and Ji-min.”

Baron Jorge and I talked about the number of different cases that could happen, and rules were established one by one.

We exchanged opinions like that for about 30 minutes.

Hook.

Whether the oil was running out or the wind was blowing, the torches hanging on the wall picked and went out.

There was not a single window in the room, so darkness fell naturally.

“Oh, my God… Please wait a bit.”

But after a while.

Whoops.

A glowing sphere appeared from the palm of Baron Jorge’s hand and lit up the room.

“… Magic?”

“Ah, I am a third-tier wizard. I didn’t say anything because it wasn’t a useful power… Please don’t be offended.”

“… “

My head rotates the fastest since I entered the 4th floor.

Wizard. I know how to handle mana.

“Baron.”

2Nd floor. Baron Richt.

Flash beam.

Although the status window is asleep, it is an S rank characteristic that is resting because it does not know how to handle mana.

“We… Just do one deal.”

I didn’t intend to be friendly with anyone on the 4th floor.

There are always exceptions.
