Reincarnator – Chapter 149 : Village of the Tired. (2)
“I’m the guard in charge of you guys, Hellum. I’ll give you the extra details you need to know.”
Altair looked at the man who had suddenly come to their living quarters.
But since she couldn’t determine their real strength from their outwardly image, she could only somewhat guess where this man was positioned in the village in terms of strength.
The one thing Altair had felt on the way here.
‘Well, that’s to be expected.’
Since the deepest part was the safest.
The worst thing was the expressions of the people.
Unlike the bright and happy expressions of the people on the outskirts that they had seen at first, the expressions of the people in the inner parts weren’t all that bright. Hellum started to explain while looking at Hansoo and Altair’s group.
“What is it?”
“You can be a guest or a resident. It is your choice whichever one you choose but once you do you will not be able to change it any way you want.”
Hellum continued to explain.
Altair frowned at these words.
Hellum chuckled. Oasis, a village built in the midst of the Ceasefire Zone.
Though it was hidden, the perception of the beasts was very well developed and they were in constant collision with these beasts.
“This first choice isn’t that bad either. You see we still treat our guests pretty well. We still have that much humaneness. At least to humans.”
They could just leave after taking a break.
Though it was just 3 days, the true value of this was not that small.
Altair made a confused expression at Hellum’s words.
They had heard about Eres, Keldian and the others.
But the name Clementine, this was their first time hearing it.
‘That’s a name I haven’t heard in awhile, really.’ “The second choice is becoming a resident. But once you become a resident you won’t be able to leave whenever you want. For 6 months at least. You will need to fulfill your duty within these 6 months.”
They could eat in the safety of their homes and even receive nice weapons.
The responsibility of sustaining the village and defending it.
Though it seemed to a free choice, the answer had been chosen already.
The beasts here felt strongly like a small group of elites.
Since they had met quite a few on the way.
She would probably get massacred not long after she left this place.
She would need to use this place as her base to become stronger.
Hellum seemed to have guessed Altair’s motives as he chuckled and spoke.
‘Well, I won’t need to talk about the ranks anyway.’
The ones in front of his eyes would disappear soon so there wasn’t a need to explain. The moment Hellum was about to leave.
“I heard something quite amusing on the way over here.”
Hellum frowned.
Detection skills existed.
And learning that skill was a necessity in this place, the Yellow Zone.
Every conversation they had was being blocked by detection disruption skills.
The disruption skills would only block detection skills.
Hellum’s expression slowly turned colder.
If this guy heard about the offering then he would need to block this guy’s mouth here and now.
But Hansoo spoke something that was much more different than his expectations.
A farmer’s activities were extremely restricted.
‘Huh? He heard about that?’
‘There’s a guy digging his own grave despite us being nice to him.’ Hellum pondered for a moment and then chuckled as he spoke.
Hellum dragged Hansoo towards a place and then shouted towards Altair’s group.
“…”
Since intel was power.
Soon Altair’s group and Hansoo started to follow Hellum.
Beyond the deepest location of the village and to the outskirts of the village. Hellum started to briefly explain the details.
But since it was something they had to explain to all newcomers, it was a bit unfair to not do it now.
“Farmer?”
“…Without much danger?”
How the hell would they be able to hunt and gain things to eat when stronger beasts rush over when they fight with the weaker ones?
“Yeah, that’s why the hunter rank exists.’ The Hunter rank.
Either they get kicked out.
The job of the hunters was very simple.
This was why they were hunters.
“…It doesn’t really seem like a place where one can just eat and play.”
Roaarr!
Altair frowned as she heard the loud roar of a beast beyond the wooden walls of the village.
If one person out of the 100 decide to do nothing then more pressure is applied onto the others.
Either work your worth or get kicked out.
Hellum smirked while speaking.
‘Well, that’s obvious.’
‘But…Is there really a need to go up to the Hunter rank?’
It didn’t really seem like there was a reason to become a Hunter. But even before Altair could work out her question inside her head.
The area where the happy and vigorous people were living that they had seen from above the fence.
While Altair was looking around the surroundings.
“Keron, come over here.”
Keron complained for a bit but then made a content expression as he saw Altair standing behind Hellum.
‘…I can’t win.’
6 months of difference.
She knew ever since the lower zones, 6 months was a huge difference.
“Stop. It hasn’t been 3 days. Your opponent is over here.” Keron, who had glimpsed over Altair’s group with a worrisome expression, was filled with questions as he saw Hansoo whom Hallum was pointing towards.
“Promotion? With a newbie? Isn’t this going too far? Even if our strength isn’t that great these days, this kind of trick…”
“2nd level free pass to 2 Farmers. With a 2 day limit.”
Though the two days were quite short of a time, he could just use them to let off his annoyance at the brat in front of his eyes.
Altair frowned as she looked at the man whose attitude changed in an instant.
‘…Free pass?’
‘Something is twisted here.’ The village was divided into three sections.
Ekidu looked at the newcomers from the outpost tower built on the highest location there and then frowned.
In one week these guys would become offerings anyway.
‘I told him to treat them well…’
But playing around with them like that was simply going too far
The choice of saving a large amount of people was not always the correct one.
Ekidus, who didn’t really know of the situation unfolding below, frowned slightly and then jumped down from the outpost. [Previous Chapter] [Table of Contents] [Next Chapter]
“You should be thankful that it’s that much at least. Do you think that this is a charity? Running this place isn’t free.”
A name he could not forget.
“…Damn. 3 days? Then they seem to be the newbies who recently came. Anyways, what opponent?”
Altair slowly started to feel uneasy.
