The Last Adventurer

Chapter 126

Chapter 126 – Michael’s Disciple (2)

3.

El Palm, when he came out of the Mystic Gate, silence greeted him.

“wow.”

His colleagues, who appeared after El Palm, smiled the moment they encountered that silence.

“You’re lucky.”

Among those who attack the Mystic Gate and come out, quite a few are injured or die from monster attacks.

“Thank goodness I don’t have to fight monsters.”

That is why this silence was a welcome silence.

Of course, El Palm was different.

“every.”

He told his delighted colleagues.

“Raise your hands above your head.”

“yes?”

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice was heard.

“Everyone, raise your hands.”

And with that voice, about 30 people appeared, surrounding the El Palm party.

Those who appeared like that were seemingly ordinary adventurers.

“I’ll give you 3 seconds.”

But the hostility in his voice was not ordinary.

El Palm Party noticed it too.

But I can confidently say that there was not a single person who was discouraged by that fact.

‘Boss, what should we do? Should we hit it?’

Rather, ready to fight at any time.

To them El Palm said:

“Don’t think about fighting, just cooperate.”

“yes?”

Unexpected words.

“It’s the Knights of Signus. There’s no reason to fight.”

“yes?”

But at the explanation that followed, El Palm’s colleagues all looked surprised.

And those who surrounded El Palm Party also all had surprised expressions on their faces.

‘How do we know our identity?’

How could they immediately notice their true identities, having discarded the armor that is the symbol of the Knights of Signus and disguised themselves as adventurers?

In any case, at El Palm’s words, his colleagues raised their hands above their heads without the slightest hesitation.

If El Palm says so, it must be true.

And if that were true, there was absolutely no reason to fight. No, even if there was a reason to fight, this was an opponent that had to be avoided.

There was no fight over the El Palm Party’s decision.

Just wondering.

‘How does the boss know their true identities?’

‘How on earth do we know our identity?’

El Palm discovered their true identities.

‘The tomb of Kasim, Michael’s disciple.’

Of course, it wasn’t difficult for El Palm.

‘If it’s the tomb of Kiri, Mikhail’s disciple, there’s no way the Knights of Signus would just leave it there.’

Isn’t it highly unlikely that two of Mikhail’s disciples, of all people, would remain silent and watch those who lived there die?

In other words, El Palm knew.

No one could have anticipated their own survival or that of their comrades.

That’s why El Palm raised his hands above his head as soon as he first appeared.

Since El Palm Party will never return alive, the Knights of Signus will not hesitate to show their murderous intent if trouble arises.

Anyway, thanks to El Palm’s actions, there was no bloodshed.

“I am El Palm.”

So now there was only one thing left.

“I would like to speak with Lord Oz.”

Having a conversation.

4.

“El Palm is back alive.”

The moment he heard those words, Oz took out the envelope his subordinate had brought without hesitation and started a fire.

Hurrr!

I tried to start a conversation right away using magic.

It was an expensive magic, but Oz didn’t care. Rather, it was magic prepared for such moments.

A conversation that was arranged like that.

“What happened?”

It all started with Oz’s question, and the answer came right away.

[We broke in, took care of everything, and recovered the remains.]

It was a very short answer.

‘This is a huge opportunity.’

And that would be a huge boon for El Palm.

That would be the case, as Kiri was strong enough. He was the highest level among the Signus Knights who had reached the 4th Circle.

But you’re even wearing Mikhail’s armor?

I could guarantee it.

‘A chance for Kiriga to become similar to Divo.’

I’m sure you won’t be able to support Devo.

‘An opportunity for Devo to be stimulated.’

As Kiri grows, Divo will further accelerate his growth.

Of course, that was what El Palm was most looking forward to.

Unlike the other three, El Palm was not very confident in Kiri’s growth potential.

‘There is no reason to hesitate since Kiri’s growth potential has been secured.’

But now that he was certain, El Palm had no need to keep Kiri in mind.

‘even alittle.’

As El Palm was making new plans, a letter appeared before his eyes.

[Okay, let’s do that.]

Oz, the moment she accepts El Palm’s deal.

Naturally, that deal also ended.

[I will provide you with an identity.]

The deal that was originally promised also fell through.

None other than the Knights of Signus, who provided false identities for the El Palm Party.

[However, there is a condition.]

But Oz didn’t end the conversation there.

[I need you to complete some tasks.]

Those words were different from the promise.

But El Palm wasn’t surprised.

‘As expected.’

Because El Palm knew.

‘You don’t need a title to create a new identity.’

It was exactly as he said.

[Creating a new identity is no problem, but it requires some work to make that identity valid. The most obvious of these is none other than a title.]

What El Palm wanted was not simply a new identity.

When I left for the Elnas Mountains, I was able to fit in with the adventurers there without any problems.

From that perspective, simply assuming a new identity was more likely to arouse the adventurers’ suspicion.

An adventurer with no fame or achievements, yet the Knights of Signus guarantee his status?

At least any Circle 5 adventurer would feel some sort of discomfort upon seeing this.

But it was different if there was a title.

If you add a story about who did what at that party, the credibility will increase significantly.

So the mission that Oz spoke of was a natural progression.

“What is your mission?”

That is why El Palm accepted Oz’s request without hesitation.

[First of all, the first mission is a mission in the Magatia region.]

Oz told El Palm the mission.

[The Knights of Signus have received a report. The Zenumist School, one of Magatia’s alchemy schools, has succeeded in conducting an experiment.]

And that’s the experiment that Oz was talking about.

‘If it’s an experiment, then that’s it.’

The moment I heard that word, El Palm came to mind immediately.

‘chimera.’

[The experiment to create a chimera was successful. And now, the chimera is moving around the underground laboratory area and hunting adventurers.]

chimera.

A very powerful and vicious creature that can be created with life annuity.

A creature whose creation is prohibited because of this.

That’s why.

A report about this was received by the Knights of Signus.

[A party will be organized to eliminate the chimera.]

Because protecting the rules of Maple World was the role of the Signus Knights.

Of course, as I said, it was the job of the Knights of Signus to eliminate the chimera.

El Palm, his mission was not to eliminate the chimeras.

[Please join the party.]

Just accompanying the Signus Knights on their chimera hunt.

But El Palm knew.

‘All knights who set out to hunt the chimera will die.’

What history existed there before returning to the past.

Of course, I couldn’t say that here.

There was only one thing El Palm could say now.

“Is there a reward if I catch the chimera?”
